The maid continued, "They couldn't knock on the door, so I said forget it, let's go to bed first, wait until tomorrow morning, and they came to convey their words, so they left. I then sat down beside the pillars in the corridor. After such a fuss, I was no longer sleepy and looked at the door blankly, always feeling a little uneasy. Because I just knocked on the door just now, the girl didn't open or speak, and with her temper, she would definitely be whispering. Thinking of this, I became more and more uneasy, and went up and looked in through the crack of the door. But there was no black inside. So I looked in through the crack of the window, looking at each window. Suddenly, I saw a white shadow hanging in the air in the room. I was shocked and felt a sudden heart."

Speaking of this, the maid's words were filled with fear, as if the horror scene appeared in front of her again: "I distinguished it from the crack of the window, but I couldn't see it clearly, so I poked the window with my finger and looked inside. After seeing it, I was so scared that I was so scared that I saw the girl hanging in the air with a white silk hanging around her neck. Although I couldn't see clearly, I judged from my figure that it was a girl. 'The girl hanged herself on the beam!' I screamed and rushed to the door and slapped the door hard."

"When the doorman heard my shout, he ran out of the room and asked what was going on. Then he also went into the hole in the window and looked in. He was frightened. So we both hit the door hard, but we couldn't open it. He reached out to tear the window paper, reached in and opened the window, and then turned in to open the door. I went in and saw that the girl was hanging on the beam. I was so scared that my whole body was trembling and said I would put the girl down first. So I hugged the girl's legs and pushed it up. The doorman took a stool and stepped on it to untie the white silk, but the beam was high and she couldn't reach it, so he quickly found a pair of scissors to cut off the white silk. The girl's body was heavy. I couldn't hold it, and fell to the ground. I felt that the girl was cold and her body was already stiff."

"I was both scared and sad, and cried and put the girl's body on the ground and shook it hard. But there was no reaction at all. I put my ears on her chest and listened without any heartbeat. I realized that the girl was dead. I was very scared and asked the doorman what to do. The doorman said that she looked at me and asked me to call you guys quickly, so I ran to call someone, and the master and the others followed. I lit the light to check and found that the girl was really dead."

Hearing this, Lu Jinping turned around and asked the rich man Ma. There were a few people entering the house at that time. The rich man Ma said that only the ** from his front yard and his two maids. Lu Jinping ordered the captain Xiong to extract the fingerprints and shoe prints of these people. The captain Xiong followed Lu Jinping to solve the case. He had already known these basic procedures and extracted them in turn.

Lu Jinping walked into the yard with a lantern. The yard was indeed not big. He walked through the courtyard and came to the corridor. He looked around. There were no suspicious signs. He avoided the main door where he entered the door. After entering through the small door next to him, he saw a corpse lying on the ground. It was the poor girl Piaoxue. His eyes were slightly opened, his tongue was dragging halfway, and there was a clear ditch on his erect neck.

Lu Jinping was not in a hurry to conduct a corpse examination. He carefully inspected the doors and windows with a lantern. Except for the torn doors and windows mentioned by the maid, the other windows were closed well and latched. The house was neatly furnished and there were no traces of fighting. He held the lantern and looked at the roof. There was no damage to the roof, and no other traces were found on the beams.

Above the corpse, on the lower beam, there was half a piece of white silk hanging, and carefully checked the breaking point. It was consistent with what the maid said before. Check the stool that was trampled, and there was a clearer footprint on it. Lu Jinping extracted this footprint.

Next, he examined the slit marks on the neck of the body, which matched the normal hanging. The 8-character slit marks were not intersected back because they were white silk, so the slit marks were not particularly obvious. However, the subcutaneous bleeding near the slit marks was more obvious, which means that they were hanged before their lifetime, rather than hanging the slit after their death.

Lu Jinping examined the body surface, and the body's face swelled. After examination of other parts of the body, no fighting resistance injuries were found, and no other injuries were found.

Then, he ordered the servants outside to bring a ladder and put it on the beam, climbed up the ladder and checked the beam, and found no traces of dragging. If it was intentional killing, there would often be dragging traces of hanging people up. There was no evidence of killing him from the traces.

After on-site investigation and body surface inspection, Lu Jinping found no signs of homicide. Although no autopsy was performed, he was able to conclude that the deceased died of suicide.

Lu Jinping came out and told the result to Ma Caizhu and others.

The rich man Ma said, "Why did she die? Didn't she just not become the top three? It's really that important? Why did she come out to do this business? She still cares so much about reputation? Since she cares about reputation, why do you need to do this business? It's really puzzling."

Lu Jinping smiled bitterly and said, "People are different from people. If we can figure it out, he may not be able to figure it out. Sometimes, in such a short moment, he will die if he can't figure it out. In fact, in the eyes of others, the reasons for letting him die are not enough to die, but he just dies. It is because in the eyes of the deceased, the reasons for letting him die are enough to deprive him of his interest in living. Although this feeling is likely to be just a short period of time, maybe she will not die after this time, but no one helped her survive, and she herself embarked on the road of no return."

The rich man Ma nodded frequently and said, "The Lord has analyzed it very well." Since he knew that the deceased died of suicide, it was a little better than being murdered, but after all, there was a murder case and another person died, I was afraid that others would think that Chunhualou was too unlucky, and it would be unpredictable to attack his business. The rich man Ma was frowning and devoted most of his savings to it. If the business suffered such a heavy blow in succession, what else could he talk about making money? I was afraid that he would lose all his money!

Lu Jinping looked around and didn't notice the figure of the little girl Piaoxue's grandmother Huang, so he asked the rich man Ma: "Where is Grandma Huang?"

"She has been locked up. If she doesn't clean up such a person, she doesn't know how to do it."

Lu Jinping sighed and said, "Forget it, let it go. She was also trying to cause trouble for her granddaughter. Besides, her granddaughter has been hanged and someone has to come to clean up the funeral."

The rich man Ma quickly agreed to immediately ask the servant to release the old lady Huang and let her deal with her granddaughter's funeral.

Lu Jinping found that the Lan Deng Tianshi was not there again, so he asked the rich master Ma again. The rich master Ma said, "After you left, the rich master followed Miss Shuangtao to her house. He found that Miss Piaoxue was hung, so we didn't dare to alarm the rich master. I guess he had fallen asleep because he was drunk."

Lu Jinping just asked casually and was too lazy to pay attention to it, so he notified Captain Xiong that both the constable and Min Zhuang could withdraw. This was just a suicide case, not a intentional murder case. Captain Xiong breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Jinping took Yunzi and Ye Qingqing back home, and sent Yunzi back to his house first, and then returned to his old house.

That night, Lu Jinping had many strange dreams. Sometimes he dreamed that Piaoxue was hanging in the air and laughed at him. Sometimes he dreamed that Feng Die's whole body was burning. Then he dreamed that the half-old Xu Niang Zhu Yun Niang had lost her chest and abdomen, but he looked at him affectionately, which scared him to wake up from the dream.

When I turned my head and looked, there was already moonlight in the night sky. Although it was very light, it was faintly green on the ground, reminding him of his gaze, soft and cold. It reminded him of the feeling that made him feel frizzy in his heart.

The following two days were very dull.

There is still no clue about several murders in Chunhualou. Lu Jinping is too lazy to think about it anymore. Many cases cannot be solved. Although he has modern methods of solving them, he often feels powerless.

In the past two days, the Lanting Heavenly Master has come, and it has come several times a day to visit him. Lu Jinping said that he was not feeling well and did not see him. He just hoped that he would leave and go back to the capital early. Unexpectedly, the Taoist lost those gloves and decided that he had to learn from Lu Jinping that he would not be afraid of fire in order to get the title of Heavenly Master. Otherwise, he would be unlucky when he returned. It would be better to learn this trick while he was trying to fight. So even though Lu Jinping made an excuse to not see him, he still retreated to the capital without seeing the difficulties and stayed in Chunhua Tower.

Fortunately, he is a Tianshi, and Juxianlou has rules. The emperor dares not offend these masters. They are all free to come and go. No one dares to say no when he leaves, so no one comes to cause trouble for him.

The next night, there were dark clouds and lightning, and it was said that it might rain heavily. However, I only hit a few thunders, but there was not even a single rain.

But these thunders caused some damage. A cow in the city was struck by lightning and died, but no one was heard of causing casualties.

The next morning, Lu Jinping had just arrived at the yamen, and the gatekeeper who was guarding the morgue ran away in a panic and said that there was something important to report.

Lu Jinping frowned. The morgue gatekeeper came to report the matter. This was not a good sign. He immediately ordered him to come in. The old man in the custody looked frightened. After coming in, he almost knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Sir, it's not good. The feet of Miss Chunhualou Fengdie in the morgue are gone!"

The body of the Fengdie girl was set on fire, leaving only her broken head and feet. The embroidered shoes on her feet were still intact. In order to investigate the case, Lu Jinping ordered the Fengdie girl's broken feet to be placed in a wooden box with lime and tide away from the tide, and stored them in the morgue in the yamen for the need to solve the case. It has not been solved yet. Fengdie did not ask anyone to ask for the corpse to be buried, so the feet were kept in the morgue. Unexpectedly, the morgue's doorman came to tell him that his feet had disappeared.
