Chapter 142 Seventh Lady 12

"Father, I need to go to the Han Dynasty Library." Bo Ruoyou said anxiously, then looked at Eunuch Fu, "Eunuch, could you please send an attendant from the Marquis to take my adoptive father home?"

Eunuch Fu naturally nodded in agreement, Cheng Yunzhi said: "But I have figured out the joints of the case"

Bo Ruoyou nodded, "I figured something out, my daughter will have to go to the Yamen later -"

Cheng Yunzhi didn't ask any more questions. Huo Qinghong looked at Bo Ruoyou curiously, with a hint of impatience in his eyes, "Where have you figured it out? What are you doing in the library?"

Bao Ruoyou was in a hurry to go to the library and was too lazy to talk to Huo Qinghong. Seeing that she was about to leave, Huo Qinghong stood up and said, "I also want to go and see——"

Eunuch Fu was a little helpless, "What are you going to do?"

Huo Qinghong said pitifully for a moment: "I haven't left the gate of the Hou Mansion for half a year."

This is the truth. When Bo Ruoyou heard this, his heart moved slightly, and he said: "It's okay for the prince to go with you, but I can't care about the prince."

Huo Qinghong scratched his head, "Do I still want you to take care of me?"

Bao Ruoyou didn't say anything and went straight out of the mansion. Huo Qinghong ordered people to prepare horses. Eunuch Fu saw that he was in high spirits and hurriedly ordered the servants of the Hou Mansion to follow him. Not long after, a group of people were at the gate of the mansion. outside distinction.

Bo Ruoyou rode a carriage to the Han Dynasty Library. The library was not far from Lanzhengfang. On the way, Bo Ruoyou muttered something, as if he was thinking about something. When the carriage stopped in front of the library, Bo Ruoyou got out of the carriage. The carriage entered the library.

She found the shopkeeper and asked only about the storybook called "The Story of a Hairpin". As expected, what the shopkeeper said was just like the servants of the Feng family. Bo Ruoyou asked hurriedly: "How many people come to buy this storybook these days?" ?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Of course there are many. This story is the latest story. There are two restaurants that want to compose music for the book and sing and perform it. The girl is here to buy the story."

Bao Ruoyou shook his head naturally, "The shopkeeper, can you remember who came to buy before the 13th?"

The shopkeeper frowned for a moment, "After so many days, I can no longer remember it. However, there were not many people buying in the first two days, but we don't remember the appearance of the guests specifically, and the library is open all day long. I really can’t remember what went in and out..."

Bao Ruoyou was a little disappointed, Huo Qinghong looked on, "What, you got it wrong?"

Bao Ruoyou shook his head, turned around and left the library and headed straight for the Yamen. Huo Qinghong was a little confused for a moment, but he quickly followed. When he arrived at the Yamen, he happened to meet Wu Xiang who had just come back from outside.

Seeing Bo Ruoyou, Wu Xiang said with a depressed expression that he had found nothing yet. Seeing Huo Qinghong following him, he couldn't help but be very surprised, but Bo Ruoyou said casually: "Captain, I know why Liu Yao looked at Get up and die in the secret room——"

"You know?" Wu Xiang's eyes lit up at first, but soon he caught the point, "How do you mean he looks like he died in a secret room?"

Bao Ruoyou said with a serious face: "Because this secret room was not arranged by the murderer, but Liu Yao locked the door from the inside, thus creating the illusion that the murderer murdered her in the secret room and then escaped."

Wu Xiang was stunned. He had thought of many ingenious mechanisms, but he never expected that Bo Ruoyou would come up with such a simple deduction, "This...she was seriously injured at that time, could she still close the door..."

Bo Ruoyou said: "She did not die suddenly after hitting a pillar. The autopsy and the blood stains on the bed showed that she was seriously injured and then died of excessive blood loss. After the murderer committed the crime that day, he saw that she was bleeding non-stop. Most likely She was afraid and wanted to leave the house immediately. After he left, Liu Yao woke up and closed the door."

"The blood stain behind the door panel is the best proof. We had never figured out how there could be blood stains behind the door panel before. If it was left by the murderer, then most people would hold the back of the door when opening or closing the door. After closing the door, the catcher should remember that the bloodstain on the back of the door was on my shoulder. I guess it was Liu Yao who felt dizzy and weak after closing the door and rubbed the bloodstain on her body when she leaned against the door. Above."

Wu Xiang originally thought this inference was unbelievable, but after hearing what Bo Ruoyou said, he felt that it was reasonable and reasonable. The theory of the secret room was indeed preconceived. Coupled with his experience in handling cases in the past, his first reaction was that the murderer deliberately arranged it. They created a secret room to pretend that the deceased committed suicide, but the nuns also said that many items fell on the ground in the house, which showed that there had been a dispute. If the murderer wanted to mislead them, what happened when he arranged the secret room? Will the scene be cleaned up?

"What you said makes sense, but we made this matter too complicated before."

Bao Ruoyou added: "Besides, there may be two reasons why Liu Yao closed the door. First, she was afraid that the murderer would come back. Second, she wanted to prevent the murderer from coming back and taking away what he had left behind. physical evidence."

"Physical evidence?" Wu Xiang frowned.

"Captain, do you still remember that there were many story books on Liu Yao's desk?"

"Of course I remember, but we have read those books and there is nothing unusual about them."

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "The story in the storybook is indeed ordinary, and there is no evidence of a single word. But the unusual thing is that when the storybook began to be sold on the market, there were many storybooks on her bookcase. On the surface, they all look brand new, but today I accidentally learned that one of the storybooks was only put on sale half a month ago."

As soon as these words came out, Wu Xiang immediately understood, "The storybook that started to be sold only half a month ago has appeared in the nunnery. This means that someone bought it and gave it to her as soon as it was sold!"

He quickly recalled, "According to the previous confessions, no one in the Liu family mentioned that they went to see Liu Yao half a month ago, and the nuns said that there was no one in the nunnery on the fifth and sixth day of the lunar month. The murderer must be that I went to the nunnery in two days!"

Bao Ruoyou nodded, "Yes, someone in the Liu family is lying. Now we only need to find out who bought the storybook and who concealed the fact of going to the nunnery. Then we can find the murderer!"

Wu Xiang grabbed the saber at his side, raised his thick eyebrows, and his eyes were bright. The dullness and dejection of a moment ago was swept away. He wished he could step into Liu's house and get someone at this moment, "Which storybook is it?"

"It's called "The Search for the Hairpin". I've seen it several times in Liu Yao's cage. The Liu family will definitely find it now."

After Bo Ruoyou answered, Wu Xiang immediately ordered the Yamen to prepare the frame of the carriage, and then asked her, "Do you want to go with me?"

Bao Ruoyou nodded immediately. At this time, she looked back at Huo Qinghong as if remembering something, but she saw Huo Qinghong looking at her with bright eyes. Seeing her looking over, he immediately said: "Then I want it too. Go."

Bo Ruoyou frowned, "What are you going to do with the prince? The yamen is on errands, so it's not good for the prince to go with you."

Huo Qinghong was a little dissatisfied at first, but when he met Bo Ruoyou's gaze, he said in a discouraged tone: "How about I wait outside?"

Bao Ruoyou was a little helpless and looked at Wu Xiang, who quickly said: "If you don't enter the house, the Liu family won't think anything of it. If the prince is willing to follow, just follow."

Bao Ruoyou sighed and looked Huo Qinghong up and down. He couldn't see what Huo Qinghong was thinking for a moment. Soon the carriages and horses were ready, and the group went to Liu's house. Wu Xiang thought about it carefully on the way and remembered After reading the confession of the fourth son of the Liu family, "Do you still remember that the fourth son of the Liu family said that on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, he went out of the city to offer incense at Xiangguo Temple, and was carried in because of illness on the way back."

Bo Ruoyou naturally remembered, and Wu Xiang added: "I just interrogated the two boys who followed him that day. The two boys also said the same thing. They also said that the coachman testified, and our people also went to Xiangguo Temple to inquire. However, the monks in the temple still remembered him and said that he arrived at the temple at noon and stayed for two hours before leaving. According to his schedule, it was dark when he returned to Beijing. Later, he felt a little unwell on the way and arrived home. At the door, someone asked someone to carry a small sedan out to carry him in."

Bo Ruoyou thought about the location of Xiangguo Temple and said, "Two hours are enough to go back and forth from Xiangguo Temple to Shuiyue Temple..."

Wu Xiang said: "I also asked the monks in the temple about this. He wanted to undergo a vegetarian meal in the temple once, and the monk who gave him a vegetarian meal saw him kneeling in front of the Bodhisattva statue and chanting sutras."

Bo Ruoyou said thoughtfully, "The monk's testimony and the servant's testimony are somewhat untrustworthy."

Wu Xiang nodded in agreement. When the carriage and horses arrived at the Liu Mansion, Bo Ruoyou ordered Huo Qinghong to wait on the carriage, and then followed Wu Xiang into the gate of the Hou Mansion. Huo Qinghong lay on the window edge and looked at Liu Fufumen looked stunned for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.

Liu Yan came to pick her up again in the Liu Mansion. When he heard that Wu Xiang was going to Liu Yao's house, Liu Yan immediately said: "Fortunately you are here today. If it had been one day later, we would have taken away the seventh sister's belongings. ."

Liu Yan led the way, and several people arrived at this remote courtyard again. When they opened the door, Bo Ruoyou saw the untouched boxes and cages in the room. Although the boxes and cages were not moved, she saw at a glance that the boxes were stacked inside. items have changed.

She stepped forward quickly, "Has anyone been here in the past two days?"

Liu Yan was slightly surprised, "No, the keys are in the hands of the steward now. You asked me to open the door. I didn't hear anyone enter the house."

Bo Ruoyou rummaged around while listening to him. Last time she stayed in the house and looked at books and storybooks for a long time. She knew exactly which books were placed where. However, when she rummaged through the entire box , even the bookcase in the house was searched, but the book "Looking for a Hairpin" was really missing. Seeing her expression, Wu Xiang stepped forward and asked: "What's wrong? I can't find it."

Bo Ruoyou nodded, "It's gone. The only thing missing is the book "The Story of a Hairpin."

Wu Xiang suddenly looked at Liu Yan with deep eyes. Liu Yan found it strange when he heard it, and immediately ordered the boy to call the steward. Soon, the steward of Liu Mansion came quickly, and Liu Yan shook the key in his hand, "This Where have you kept the keys for several days? Has anyone asked you for the keys?"

As soon as the steward heard this, he immediately said: "Second Young Master came here last night to ask for the key."

"What? Second brother came to ask for the key?" Liu Yan was very surprised.

The steward nodded and said with some fear: "The second young master said he wanted to come and see the seventh girl's relics."

Liu Yan hesitated and looked at Wu Xiang, Wu Xiang tugged his lips, "Then I have to ask the second young master to come over..."
