Chapter Nineteen: Mandarin Duck Splendid (13)
The eldest lady was stunned, "The weird bronze mirror? No."
"It's just that there is a mirror that can make a human face look ugly." Zhong Chu thought it was his inaccurate expression, so he hurriedly explained further.
But the eldest lady shook her head and said, "How could there be such a mirror? Miss Zhong, have you read it wrong? The things in the second lady's room were all purchased by the housekeeper according to the rules, and I have never heard of them."
After saying that, she said goodbye to Li Fushan and followed the constable to leave the prison.
Zhong Chu rubbed his face hard, and the obvious pain made her sure that she was awake. She was only sixteen years old and was not yet at the age of dizzy eyes and diminishing memory. How could it be?
"Zhang Shuban!"
Zhong Chu suddenly remembered someone, ran over, interrupted the official duties of Long Xingtu and Zhang Qing, and said quickly: "You have seen the strange mirror in the second wife's room, right? We both tried it repeatedly, right?"
Zhang Qing nodded, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Zhong Chu's cheeks were bulging high, "But the eldest lady said that there was no such mirror in the second lady's room!"
"No?" Zhang Qing was shocked.
Zhong Chu sighed, "Yes, I originally wanted to buy this mirror and study it carefully."
"What's going on?" Long Xingtu interrupted.
Zhang Qing talked about the causes and consequences.
Long Xingtu pondered for a moment and said, "If there is such a mirror, it would be strange."
"Sure, I may have read it wrong by myself, but Zhang Shuban also saw it. It is impossible for us to have problems with our eyes, right?" Zhong Chu nodded vigorously, trying to dispel the suspicion of the Dragon Star Map.
Seeing her anxious look, Long Xingtu couldn't help but smile, "Then you go and see it again."
"OK!"
"Wait a moment."
Zhang Qing returned to find Li Fushan. The eldest lady didn't care about the miscellaneous affairs in the mansion for many years, and the housekeeper always followed Li Fushan, so Li Fushan must know about the mirror.
Unexpectedly, Li Fushan looked confused after hearing this, "When did there be a strange mirror in the mansion? The butler has never told me."
Zhang Qing was stunned.
During the process of sorting out the murder, the Dragon Star Map found that a problem was missing. Zhong Chu couldn't stop and followed the Dragon Star Map. Without asking more questions, he knew the result by just looking at Zhang Qing's expression. Zhong Chu's head was about to explode!
Long Xingtu asked: "How did Li Fushan, how did the second wife discover the secret? How did she use it?"
"I don't know why the second wife became suspicious. But one day, she suddenly came to me during the day and asked me a few very common questions. After she and Li Fuhai were having sex again, she shook off the secrets we hidden."
“What’s the problem?”
"She asked me which pair of earrings looks good, which one is suitable for hairpin or buyao, and also asked me which poem I like the most."
Long Xingtu observes Li Fushan's expression and movements calmly, which basically confirms that he is not lying. Logically speaking, several major cases have confessed, so there is no need to fake it in small matters.
She put away the file and suddenly said, "Achu, I'll accompany you for a trip."
After a whole day of busy life, when the three of them walked out of Nanjian, it was already sunset outside.
Zhong Chu was hungry, but in order to solve the truth, she tried her best to endure hunger and rushed to Li's house without stopping.
