Chapter 422: The Case of Hidden Corpse in the Cowshed (42)
"Get up and talk." Long Xingtu helped Qian Yanhe up.
Qian Yanhe was blessed and continued, "In their mouths, Lord Du was unforgivable, Master Long was an accomplice. They racked their brains to defeat Lord Du, so I became curious. What kind of two people did this cause excitement? Then, I found a secret. One night about two months ago, I sneaked into his study while my father was not at home. I wanted to find a few books to read."
“ns!”
There was a burst of exclamation, and Qian Yanhe's face turned red. "It's not that kind of dirty book, it's unofficial history, etc. My father called all the books with strange power and chaos. I was not allowed to read them normally."
Long Xingtu frowned slightly, and she couldn't help but think of the nn score found from Li Yanzhou that day. She didn't care at that time, but she just felt that he was not a gentleman. Now, from a different standpoint, she was a little resentful. Just thinking about it, what's the matter with her?
"What happened then?" Zhong Chu couldn't wait to urge.
Qian Yanhe said seriously: "I have found a lot of documents about Wuyang County. It turns out that my father was the magistrate of Wuyang County ten years ago, and the evil official Du, who has been targeted by his colleagues, was the magistrate of Wuyang County who had been re-elected for ten years after my father! You will definitely feel that there is no big fuss about this matter, but I was shocked because I don't have the memory of five years old! From the time point of view, I am seventeen years old this year, which means that before I was seven years old, my father was the magistrate of Wuyang County, and my family is in Wuyang County! Then, the memories I lost must be born in Wuyang County!"
"As far as I can remember, I have worn that string of auspicious money on my body. I asked my parents, and they only said it was given to me by an old friend, but never told me what the old friend's name is, and what does it have to do with me. I always dreamed of a man standing in a dark place and smiling at me, but I couldn't see his face clearly. I told my parents that I was on a carriage when I was five years old. Unfortunately, I fell out of the carriage and hit my head, which caused me to lose my memory. The man in the dream might be the doctor who rescued me at that time."
"The older I grew up, the more I wanted to find the blank memory. I wanted to find the man in my dream, but my parents did not agree. They stared at me very tightly and would never allow me to leave the house privately. When I guessed that my memory might have been lost in Wuyang County, I decided to visit Wuyang County. After careful planning, I successfully escaped my home and pretended to be a beggar. I went to Wuyang County about half a month ago. But I didn't know where to find the memory, so I ran around in the suburbs of the city all day long. What I saw and heard during this period subverted my understanding of Lord Du and Master Long when I was in Yuzhou. Lord Du's character and reputation were passed down by word of mouth by the common people, and almost no one was disliked. Master Long's heroic and upright story of the heroic and upright people to fight the case is simply a legend in the mouth of the storyteller!"
"What excited me the most is that people in Wuyang County say that Master Long is the smartest person in the world. There is no mystery that Master Long cannot solve in the world. Therefore, I thought of asking Master Long to help me find someone to find memories! Unfortunately, Master Long has not returned from work in another place yet, so I had to wander while waiting. Starting a few days ago, the autumn rain continued, and I used up the silver on my body and had nowhere to go. I accidentally broke into Tongfu Inn, hoping to take shelter from the wind and rain for a while and seek An Yu. Unexpectedly, three days ago, when I was taking a nap in the inn, I suddenly heard a rumbling sound. I ran out and saw that the cowshed collapsed. However, what was terrible was that human bones fell from the wall!"
"I was very scared at that time. I wanted to go to the yamen to report the case, but I found something from the wall bricks where the corpse was hidden. For some reason, I suddenly had a split headache. I seemed to remember something, but I couldn't figure out anything, and then I fell into a coma! When I woke up, it was already dark. I walked around every place of the inn from inside to outside, and vaguely felt that I had been here. Many scenery and many furnishings made me feel familiar. So I began to think about who the dead in the cowshed was, and is he related to me? If I reported the case, my identity would be exposed, and my father would definitely send someone to arrest me back. Then, the answer I wanted to find would continue to sink to the sea."
"Later, I thought of a wonderful way. I knew that there was a kind of medicinal grass in Jiangnan. If it was boiled into a paste to dye the bones and let the dog chew the bones, the dog would die. The owner of the dog would inevitably report to the official, and then the hiding of the corpse in the cowshed would be exposed naturally. I was lucky. I pawned an antique flower in the inn and bought the barn at Xuji Pharmacy. Then I coaxed a few children to go to the inn to play. After that, everything went smoothly. One of the children was the son of Lord Du. He quickly found Lord Du and the official officer, and Master Long also returned early at this time to intervene in the case!"
"But I am still worried. If Master Long is so arrogant that he cannot solve the case, how can I find my memory? So, I tried to approach Master Long and test Master Long's talent and character again and again. Unexpectedly, Master Long exposed my trick so quickly. I was really relieved and ashamed!"
Speaking of this, Qian Yanhe solemnly bowed to the Longxingtu: "Whether you offend, Yanhe begs Master Long to forgive me!"
It took a while for everyone to digest the story of this official lady. Judging from their rich experience in handling cases, the truth behind this case is probably the pain that Qian Yanhe cannot afford.
The Dragon Star Map looked at Qian Yanhe with an indescribable complex expression, "What did you appear in the wall where the corpse was hiding in the cowshed?"
"A windmill." Qian Yanhe said, turning her back, taking out something from her close-fitting clothes, and handing it to Longxingtu, "Look, it's a child's thing."
Long Xingtu pursed his lips, tossed and turned to check the windmill, and said, "It is indeed a common object for ordinary children. But Miss Qian, do you seem to pay special attention to it?"
"Well, I just like it very much, and I can't explain the reason clearly. Anyway, after seeing it for the first time, I felt that it should be my beloved thing!" Qian Yanhe nodded and told the truth.
The Dragon Star Map then took out something, "Do you know it?"
"Pink bellyband?" Zhong Chu was stunned, his pretty face turned red, "Star Map, where did you get a woman's private thing? It's really not ashamed to show it in public!"
