Su Yizhao, who was standing next to him, was a little speechless when he heard this. In fact, she also went to see Liu Niang.
She happened to be passing by the tofu shop that day, and she curiously took a look at this long-standing figure in the mansion.
How should I put it? She looks very distinctive, but it is different from the appearance that is admired nowadays. It is quite...
Hmm! It's quite grand. Dayun Chao admires her dignity and elegance, her snow-skinned appearance, and that woman is not beautiful, but she is just a little different anyway!
However, if you take a closer look, the woman is actually quite attractive.
What followed was a few people biting each other. In their mouths, everyone was suspicious, but they couldn't provide any evidence. It was all trivial matters.
Su Yizhao was impatient to listen to their excuses, so he left the cabin and walked towards Master Liu's cabin.
Instead of listening to their nonsense, it is better to go to Mr. Liu's cabin and take a look, maybe you can find some clues.
Su Yizhao walked to Mr. Liu's door. At this moment, Mr. Liu's body had been carried to Mr. Du's cabin, but other things had not been moved. Everything was as it was when the murder occurred.
"Seventh Young Master!" The person guarding the door was still the Su family guard. When he saw it was his own young master, he quickly saluted.
"Why is Brother Zhuo guarding it personally? I'll buy some food and drinks for the brothers later, and we've all worked hard!"
Su Yizhao smiled and took out two taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Brother Zhuo.
Brother Zhuo was very surprised. After taking it, he held it in his hand.
"Young Master, you are serious, but this is all within your duties. Thank you, Master, for the reward!"
Brother Zhuo had long thought that this young master from a concubine was a smart man, but he didn't expect that he knew how to control him.
"Master, do you want to go in and take a look?"
Brother Zhuo just knew that the seventh young master and the fourth master were involved in solving the case, and he admired the seventh young master's intelligence very much.
"My father is returning to his hometown this time for the provincial examination. What if it delays the day? It is better for everyone to brainstorm and catch the murderer as soon as possible to avoid delaying the trip."
Su Yizhao sighed and said.
"The young master is very filial, and the fourth master must also be very anxious. However, the young master is smart and will definitely be able to help Mr. Yang catch the murderer as soon as possible."
"Mr. Yang is resourceful and sophisticated, so he can deal with this well. It will be a matter of time to catch the murderer. I'm just helping him run errands."
Su Yizhao and Brother Zhuo said a few polite words and then walked into the house.
Master Liu's room is a private room, with the same layout as Su Yizhao's suite, nothing special.
Su Yizhao walked around the room, stood where Mr. Liu was lying, and then looked around.
Recalling Mr. Liu's posture when he fell to the ground, I realized that I had overlooked something. Mr. Liu's posture at that time was not with his feet facing outwards, but slightly towards the bed.
Looking at the edge of the bed, Su Yizhao sat down on it. After thinking for a moment, he stood up again and stood still beside the bed.
From this point of view, Mr. Liu was wearing underwear at the time. There must have been some emergency that caused him to fall out of bed. The reason for falling out of bed must have been an attack.
Looking at the quilt on the bed, it was very messy.
Although Su Yizhao had never been in love in his previous life, he still understood the things between men and women. It was self-evident what Master Liu and his concubine were doing at that time.
After the fall, Master Liu couldn't fall asleep immediately. But if the murderer enters the house at this time, isn't he afraid that Master Liu will find out?
At the time of the crime, Mr. Liu did not cry out or ask for help, but he must have been conscious. Unless the murderer subdued Mr. Liu with one move, how much strength would it take?
Su Yizhao searched the bed carefully, and suddenly noticed something strange about the carved bed frame beside the bed.
The bed in this suite is a six-poster beech wood canopy bed, red copper in color and engraved with swastika patterns.
Su Yizhao looked closer to the bedpost and found a hollow carving with a color different from other places. It was golden yellow and was about the size of a fingernail.
She quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it on that area.
Su Yizhao wiped it with the handkerchief a few times, and the golden color was stained on the handkerchief.
"What is this?" Su Yizhao looked at the gold on the handkerchief in confusion, it was in the form of powder.
However, in the Dayun Dynasty, golden yellow was reserved for the emperor and could not be used by ordinary people or even officials.
Su Yizhao immediately thought of gold powder. Could it be gold powder? Su Yizhao got closer and smelled it, but there was no peculiar smell.
After putting the handkerchief away carefully, Su Yizhao continued to look around the room.
After looking at the rest of the arrangements one by one, nothing else was found, and the murderer didn't even leave any footprints.
Su Yizhao accidentally glanced at the corner of the window, suddenly felt confused, and immediately walked over.
Su Yizhao approached the window and took a look, then hurriedly left the cabin.
Standing in front of the window, Su Yizhao glanced behind him, which was near the stern of the ship. When he opened the window from inside the house, he could see the blue sky and the distant river scenery.
Open the window and look in from the outside, you will see the bed directly opposite.
After closing the window again, Su Yizhao glanced above, and then called Brother Zhuo.
"I don't know who made a hole in the window paper here. Brother Zhuo, take a look. Where can you see inside?" Su Yizhao pointed to a spot above the window paper.
Brother Zhuo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Hey! This is hemp paper brushed with tung oil, and it can actually poke a hole."
This ancient ship would also encounter wind and waves, so the window paper must be strong. After Su Yizhao asked Zhuo Er Ge, he gained more knowledge.
Brother Zhuo hunched over and looked inside through the small hole.
"It's facing the bed, you can see everything clearly!" Brother Zhuo took a closer look and found that he couldn't see anywhere else. After all, the hole was too small.
Su Yizhao took a look at Brother Zhuo's height. The guards in the Su Mansion were all trained by his family since childhood. When they grow up, those who are unqualified will become servants.
The first requirement is height.
Brother Zhuo and Su Wenqing are of similar stature and are already tall.
Su Yizhao estimated the height of the peeping person and found that he was about the same height as the murderer. The hole was still new, obviously it had just been broken.
After thanking him, Su Yizhao turned around and went to Master Yang's cabin. As soon as he entered the room, he heard Su Wenqing's voice.
"According to the student's opinion, it is fastest to search the luggage. Since that person is seeking wealth and murder, the money must still be on him. If we find the dirt, won't we identify the murderer?"
Su Wenqing thinks this method is simple and crude, but effective.
"But the boat passengers don't agree. If the generals start to make trouble, we don't have enough manpower to deter them!"
Shopkeeper Zhou was in trouble and his face was full of sorrow.
Su Yizhao took a look and found that the suspects were no longer in the cabin.
Mr. Yang did not express his position. When he saw Su Yizhao coming in, he said: "Yizhao, you went to Mr. Liu's cabin? Did you find any clues?"
"Your Excellency is very aware of everything and has indeed discovered some clues!"
