Chapter 19 One Inch Gold 19
Sha Gu fell to the snow, her whole body shrank into a ball, her shoulders trembled, and she even lowered her head and did not dare to look up at people. Huo Weilou glanced at Sha Gu, as if she didn't expect that the one she held was a little girl.
Bo Ruoyou whispered: "Marty, she is a fool."
That night when I was checking the servants in the front yard, Sha Gu stood in the corner without any conspicuousness. Therefore, it was the first time Huo Weilou saw her. Bo Ruoyou whispered to tell the fate of the eldest lady and Sha Gu, and Huo Weilou frowned even tighter.
There were embroidered clothes standing with a knife around him, and Huo Weilou was even more imposing. Bo Ruoyou went forward and squatted down, and said softly: "Silly Gu? Why are you here?"
Sha Gu's body shrank tighter, and Bo Ruoyou said, "Look at me, you saw me last time."
Sha Gu was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised her eyes to look at Bo Ruoyou, but her eyes were dull and her expression was confused, as if she could not remember when she had seen Bo Ruoyou.
Everyone knows that Sha Gu is demented. Bo Ruoyou was not surprised to see that she couldn't recognize him. He just looked at these eyes. Although he still felt beautiful, he was not as beautiful as that day. However, under the lights, he was inexplicably familiar. The scar was still on her face. Bo Ruoyou just glanced at that day, but now he looked closely and felt that it was even more terrifying than that day.
A strange feeling slipped through Bo Ruoyou's heart, and he asked softly: "What are you doing here?"
Although this place is close to the ancestral hall, it is also remote. The ancestral hall has just been burned down, and there is still a fireworks everywhere. If nothing happens, how can I come here?
Sha Gu lowered her eyes again, shrank her shoulders and kept silent.
This was a bit difficult, she was obviously more afraid of people than that day.
Bo Ruoyou looked her up and down. She was wearing the plain jacket she had last time and the snow mud on her shoes was not abnormal. Moreover, her legs and feet were not straight, so she would not commit the crime.
There are only footprints of the embroidered clothes and Sha Gu on the ground. Compared with that, Sha Gu’s footprints are very obvious. Her left leg was injured, so the footprints are always deep and shallow, which are smaller than those of the embroidered clothes. Thin Ruoyou looked in the direction of the bamboo forest and then looked at the traces left by the murderer.
The wormwood is yellow withered and covered with snow, and the traces of being trampled back and forth are very obvious. Bo Ruoyou carefully compared it, and he felt that it was exactly the same as the footprints he saw outside Zheng Wenyan's study courtyard the previous time. Naturally, it can also be seen that the footprints were different from Sha Gu.
Bo Ruoyou frowned for a moment: "The person the young lady just saw was not a lame person, and she was wearing a winter jacket of different shapes. She should not be a fool, but she refused to speak and could not ask why she came here."
Among all the suspects, the most difficult one is the dementia or crazy person who is as silly as a silly Gu. Huo Weilou made a quick decision and said, "Take it to the front yard and ask the manager who lives with her."
The embroidered clothes responded, and He Cheng rushed over at this time. On the way, he knew that Bo Ruoyou had seen the murderer. When he saw Bo Ruoyou, he was afraid of saying, "Little Bo, don't want one person to come out, it's too dangerous."
Bo Ruoyou responded quickly, Huo Weilou glanced at He Cheng, and then the embroidered envoy stepped forward and said, "Marty, you have searched all around, there are many traces, but they are extremely chaotic. There are guards in all the important roads of the Marquis' Mansion. My subordinates suspected that the murderer had been circling such remote places to avoid martial law these days. Going further north of the bamboo forest is a plum forest, and after the plum forest is a high wall in the backyard."
After this statement, Bo Ruoyou smelled a faint fragrance of plum blossoms after realizing it.
Huo Weilou raised his foot towards the direction of the plum forest, and He Cheng and Bo Ruoyou followed. In a moment, a yellow-scented plum forest was reflected in his eyes. The bamboo forest was unattended. It was even more desolate to go north. Even so, in the winter of the first month, the cold plum blossoms bloomed in the cold. Under the reflection of the fire, the light yellow stamens clustered on the branches, the faint fragrance floated, and the fragrance was fragrant.
The embroidered man raised his hand and pointed, "There are also some people in the meadow, but it is empty here and it is not easy to hide. There is a dry well in the north. I have just checked it and no one has hidden it in it."
The bamboo forest is dense and can hide people, but the plum trees are sparse, and you can sweep them all at a glance. Huo Weilou looked at the high wall in the distance and pondered for a moment and turned around to the front yard.
The murderer suddenly appeared and was almost taken away. Huo Weilou ordered people to search the entire Marquis' Mansion. After half an hour, Zheng Wen'an and others gathered in the front yard again. However, everyone, including Zheng Wenrong, had a witness tonight.
Zheng Yunni came the latest. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Sha Gu standing outside the hall. Sha Gu was hanging her head and standing quietly. But when she heard the steps, she turned around and saw Zheng Yunni. She was afraid on her face, so she took a few steps back and hit the corridor railings.
Bo Ruoyou stood at the door and happened to see this scene.
Zheng Yunni looked at Sha Gu coldly, as if she was dissatisfied with her being here. It can be seen that Bo Ruoyou looked outside the door, and she raised her jaw and entered the hall with a demeanor.
Zheng Wen'an was talking in the hall, "After the order of the marquis, I have been watching them clear the fire in the ancestral hall. I am clumsy in doing things, and today I am all physically working and calling out to the servants. I don't know why she ran there."
"Mr. Marquis," Zheng Yunni spoke at this time, "She went to fold yellow plums for her mother. Although there are many plum blossoms in the mansion, her mother only loves yellow plums. Only the plum forest in the north is yellow plums."
This was explained, but it was a bit weird to ask a fool to go to the silly man to get to the plum blossoms in the middle of the night.
Huo Weilou looked at Zheng Yunni for a moment and looked at Zheng Wen'an again, "Is your mother's robe sure it was burned?"
Zheng Wen'an hesitated and said, "It was the maid who sent his mother to burn it. No one would leave any deceased things, and the robe was not gold, silver, pearls and jade..."
He said this, but he had never seen the robe burned with his own eyes.
Huo Weilou glanced at He Cheng, and He Cheng left the hall door.
After Zheng Wen'an finished speaking, hesitantly asked, "Marty, what clues do you have?"
Huo Weilou searched the Hou's Mansion, but without telling the reason, when everyone arrived, he also asked the fool's affairs first. Therefore, everyone still didn't know what happened tonight. Huo Weilou's eyes were slightly condensed, "Tonight the murderer appeared in the bamboo forest in the east wearing that plain jacket and was caught."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed, especially Zheng Wen'an was even more frozen in place, "What... have you encountered the murderer?"
Zheng Yunni also asked: "Can you see clearly?"
Huo Weilou spoke in a deep voice: "I haven't seen it clearly."
Zheng Wenrong stood aside and said, "Then she must be hiding in the bamboo forest. Maybe she has been there these days. There are many such remote places in the mansion. The marquis should send more people to search."
Eunuch Fu sighed: "The Fourth Master, you have searched it. There are indeed many people around you, but you still haven't found anyone, and you don't know where you have hidden it. Everyone should be careful these days to avoid being injured by the murderer."
Zheng Yunni's pink fist clenched her cuffs tightly, her expression calm. Zheng Wen'an was also thinking about something, but his mind was not enough. At this time, He Cheng entered the hall door. Seeing that he wanted to speak but stopped, Huo Weilou ordered everyone to retreat first.
When everyone left, He Cheng said, "Mr. Marquis, I've asked. The old lady's maid Mo Yi gave the clothes to a rough woman who burned them. The woman was a little taboo and threw the robe into the brazier and left. According to the woman, when she went to take the brazier, there were a lot of miscellaneous items burned inside, and the robe could not be seen. It seemed that it was burned out."
He had never seen it with his own eyes, but he was still suspicious. At this time, another embroidered wardrobe came in and said, "Mr. Marquis, the silly girl lives in the room of the servants, and lives in the same courtyard with more than a dozen scattered wardrobees in the inner courtyard. Because she was loved by the eldest lady, she had an independent small room." After a pause, the embroidered wardrobe said, "The scattered wardrobe who burned the old lady's clothes that day also lived in this courtyard."
Huo Weilou's eyebrows moved and "Take someone to her room to take a look."
Bo Ruoyou also had a strange feeling in her heart. Is this coincidence she was wrong?
She looked out of the hall and saw Sha Gu huddling in the corner, avoiding Zheng Yunni and others very much. She hesitated for a moment and walked towards Sha Gu, grabbed Sha Gu and let her follow her into the room. Perhaps Bo Ruoyou was friendly and Sha Gu followed her into the hall. Bo Ruoyou closed the door and squatted in front of Sha Gu, and whispered: "Silly Gu, I am a doctor, can you show me your old injuries?"
Sha Gu looked at Bo Ruoyou blankly, as if she was a little surprised, but she didn't dare to do it once. When she heard Bo Ruoyou was friendly, she didn't resist. So Bo Ruoyou touched her ankle.
Upwards were the slender calves, but there was almost only a layer of skin and flesh left on the calves. The scars were rough. Under the slightest sense, the bones could be found. Bo Ruoyou frowned first, and then breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up and gently stroked Sha Gu's hair, "The wounds are healed, it's okay."
Sha Gu's eyes were relieved, and Bo Ruoyou took her out and said when he entered the door, "The injuries on her legs are true, and the lame legs are true, so she cannot commit a crime."
