Tian Languang couldn't hold it back for a moment. He stood up and ran out of the door: "No, I'll ask her!"
Hua Xiaogu quickly stretched out his hand to stop Tian Languang: "Stop! It's getting late now. If you go there so rashly, you might be bitten by someone and say you want to kill people and silence them. What should I do? I have an idea. Please listen to me first.
."
Tian Languang paused and looked down at Hua Xiaogu.
"First sneak into Qing Yue's room and take a clear look at the furnishings inside. Remember, look carefully! No detail can be left out, as this is related to the innocence of the magpie." Hua Xiaogu said to him.
After Tian Languang finished speaking, she turned to look at her husband-in-law: "Lan Qing, let's go see the magpie again in the evening and ask her what she remembers when she went to Qing Yue's room for the last time. When we come back, we will exchange information with Lan Guang.
Yes, let’s see if we can find any clues.”
Tian Lanqing nodded, and then looked out the window.
The sky was getting dark, so logically, they should have dinner with Mr. Tian and Mrs. Tian.
"Go and tell your father that Xiaogu and I went out to eat." Tian Lanqing turned around and glanced at Tianlu. Tianlu nodded and retreated.
Hua Xiaogu bit her lower lip helplessly. Logically speaking, if they were so unruly, if they married into another family, they would definitely be accused of being ignorant by their parents-in-law. But now Magpie is still in jail, and she will be tried in court tomorrow.
If the matter is not clarified today, once the magpie is convicted tomorrow, it will be too late to do anything.
Now, I can only temporarily be a new daughter-in-law who is "petty and spoiled" and "unruly".
The three of them left Tian's mansion and went their separate ways.
After all, Tian Languang had some kung fu in him, and while playing with magpies every night, his skills improved a lot unknowingly.
That night, the entrance hall of Zuihua Pavilion was deserted, with not even a single guest.
After all, a murder had just occurred, so no one would dare to come to this house to seek bad luck.
Tian Languang evaded the officers guarding the building and secretly climbed into the southernmost window on the third floor along the outer wall. He hung outside and listened carefully. When he was sure that there was no one in the room, he quietly climbed out of the window.
Got in.
The room was pitch dark, and only a strong smell of blood could be smelled.
After Tian Languang let his eyes adjust to the darkness, he quietly walked forward and began to look at the room carefully.
It seemed that, except for the blood that dripped all over the floor and seemed to have become sticky and dried, the whole room was no different from his previous memory. The smell of blood was extremely strong, which made Tian Languang frown. He was careful not to remove it.
He stepped on the blood on the ground, and then carefully looked at the surrounding situation.
The bed was very clean and the surrounding furnishings were not damaged. It seemed that Qing Yue was not beaten before her death.
Blood spread all over the floor, but the bed and the table on the wall were clean without any blood splatter.
In addition to the strong smell of blood in the room, the faint fragrance that once filled the room is no longer there. Perhaps Qingyue did not light the incense burner before she died last night, so there was no residual fragrance in the room.
Tian Languang looked at the surrounding situation carefully, trying to remember any details. Just as he moved slightly to take a closer look at whether there was anything else under the bed, he heard slight footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door. Tian Languang's heart
As soon as he moved, he immediately used his toes to climb up the beam by using the bedpost on the side.
He lay quietly on the beam and breathed softly.
Sure enough, within a moment, there was a sound of the door ringing. Two men walked in while talking and holding dim candles.
"Tsk, tsk, that's really creepy. Just take a look and let's leave quickly," one of the men said.
"Oh, what kind of job are we doing? We actually have to guard this murder scene all night! These blood stains have not been cleaned up. It's fine during the day, but at night... I feel really uncomfortable."
"That's all, let's just take a look every hour, walk around, and go out for a drink."
The two seemed to be holding the candlesticks in their hands, just wandering around the door, briefly looking around the room, then closing the door and walking out.
Listening to this conversation, Tian Languang understood that these two people were official servants with a mission.
He lay on the beam and kept listening until the footsteps in the corridor outside the door could no longer be heard clearly, then he raised his hands and prepared to jump down.
As soon as his palm rested on the beam, he felt that there seemed to be some unevenness under his hand. Tian Languang paused, then raised his hand that was supporting the beam and took a look.
My hands were clean, with nothing on them.
Could it be an illusion?
Tian Languang couldn't see anything in the darkness. He stretched out his fingers and gently stroked them on the beam...
At the same time, in the prison of Shuntian Mansion, the magpie was holding a roasted chicken in his hands, chewing the delicious food.
"Well... there is also a screen! It seems to be embroidered with flowers. I don't know if they are peonies or peonies. Anyway, they are red and green." The magpie ate the roast chicken and said to the flower bones with its legs crossed:
"Others... I can't remember clearly. I just went in for a while, and I didn't go to visit the girl's boudoir. When I saw Tian Languang, I had other thoughts about what was in the girl's room.
?”
Hua Xiaogu sighed softly and looked at the magpie helplessly: "Think about it again. Is there anything special... Just tell me as much as you can think of..."
The magpie gnawed away the muscles in his hands, spat the chicken skin he didn't like into the corner, and then squirmed in his mouth as he solemnly recalled it.
"Well... there is one more thing." Magpie swallowed the thing in his mouth, nodded and said to Hua Xiaogu: "The fragrance in the girl's room is different from other places. It's not like ordinary incense.
It seems to have a bit of a medicinal smell...I can't explain it, but it seems to smell pretty good anyway."
Hua Xiaogu looked at the magpie, with a hint of hope in her heart.
"You always have a good nose, but can you remember what the fragrance is?"
"It's true that I have a dog nose, but I don't like to buy rouge and gouache, but these scents are really unrecognizable."
Hua Xiaogu was a little unwilling, and she asked: "You can even remember the bewitching fragrance of He Xiangniang, how come you can't remember what the fragrance is? Think again!"
Magpie looked at Hua Xiaogu's nervous expression, and her heart gradually softened. She knew that Xiaogu was anxious for her.
"Sigh... I really have never smelled that smell! Or, buy some more gouache and let me smell it. Maybe I can point out what kind it is!"
Hua Xiaogu paused and sighed.
Tian Lanqing, who was standing aside, also felt a little disappointed. There was a fragrance in the women's room in the brothel. Isn't this a normal thing?
Xiao Gu is also confused when he is concerned. He is afraid of being too anxious, so he wants to ask everything thoroughly.
