The atmosphere in Yizhuang is very gloomy. There are black coffins outside, and the officials are constantly carrying the bodies in and out.
Mrs. Wang San regretted standing here. She always felt that even a little girl dared to do something, and she, a person who had been there, didn't have to be afraid. Miss Xu said she was here to see the body, but she didn't necessarily go to actually check it out.
However, she soon discovered that she was completely wrong.
Miss Xu not only looked at it, but also looked at it very carefully.
The final result was that she stood at the door holding her nose, neither advancing nor retreating.
"Third Mrs.," Xu Qinghuan turned to look at Mrs. Wang, "If you feel uncomfortable, you can wait outside."
Mrs. Wang San thought for a while and then said, "Is this the poor woman you are talking about?" She seemed a little curious and was reluctant to leave like this, let alone lose face in front of Miss Xu.
Mrs. Wang San stood at the door and thought for a moment, then walked in slowly, stretched her head and glanced at the woman's face, then covered her mouth and walked out quickly with a look of horror.
When Xu Qinghuan came out of the Yi Zhuang, Mrs. Wang San's face was still pale and she had not recovered.
"The eldest lady is really admirable," said Mrs. Wang San. "No wonder you are able to investigate the case. How can ordinary people do it so personally?"
Xu Qinghuan said, "If Third Madam watches it a few more times, she will get used to it."
Mrs. Wang San hurriedly waved her hand, "I don't dare... I just took one look at it. I feel a chill down my spine during the day, and I just don't dare to close my eyes at night."
At this point, Mrs. Wang San looked like she didn't want to continue talking, but she couldn't help but ask, "Has the government found out who killed the woman?"
"Not yet," Xu Qinghuan said, "The body was only discovered early this morning. It will take a few days for the Yamen to solve the case."
Mrs. Wang San nodded, "Although the culprit hasn't been caught yet, there will always be some clues," she said with a slight pause, "If something like this happens, everyone in Jiangyin County will be panicked, and even I will feel scared.
"
"Not yet at the government office," Xu Qinghuan said with a deep look, "but I do think there are some suspicious points that can be seen from the corpse."
Mrs. Wang San listened carefully, and even her breathing seemed to become much lighter.
Xu Qinghuan continued, "This woman's family was caught when they were out of the city to avoid trouble. Her family members were all killed by the murderer, but she was kidnapped and tortured to death. Not even the soft goods in the carriage were lost. There has been no similar case before.
It would be a bit far-fetched to say that some bad guy happened to meet the woman's family and therefore killed them.
Therefore, I am more inclined to believe that the murderer of the woman should know or have some involvement with the woman.
The woman's departure from Jiangyin County does not necessarily mean that she is avoiding the scourge of war. As long as the government investigates carefully and follows the clues, more clues may be found."
Mrs. Wang San looked very calm, but slightly tightened the handkerchief in her hand.
Xu Qinghuan continued, "I'm afraid this woman also knows some of the murderer's secrets, otherwise the murderer wouldn't torture her like this. Beating is not only a way to vent her emotions, but it is also a form of torture."
Hearing Xu Qinghuan's words, Mrs. Wang San didn't know what she was thinking. It took her a while to come back to her senses, "It seems that we can find out some clues soon."
Miss Xu has a clear mind and has everything under control.
Mrs. Wang San said, "Miss Xu is really smart. Nothing can escape Miss Xu's eyes."
"The Third Madam is overly complimentary," Xu Qing said with a smile, "I'm just thinking randomly. Everything must be subject to the results of the Yamen's inspection. There are many things that no one can tell the truth until the last moment."
Mrs. Wang San nodded, "That's what Miss Xu said."
A few people said a few more words and then left in the car. The Wang family's carriage moved slowly on the road, but Mrs. Wang San's heart was uneasy. She looked at her mother who was in charge next to her, "Am I too nervous? I always feel
Miss Xu knows everything."
The mother in charge said in a low voice, "Don't think too much. No one knows about those things. Even if we investigate, we won't be able to find out about the second master."
The words of the steward mother did not reassure Mrs. Wang San. Instead, she became even more uneasy. "Do you think the Wang family will end up like the Xie family?"
…
On the other side, Xu Qinghuan was sitting in the carriage, also lost in thought.
How many coincidences are there in this world?
The case was investigated today, and the moment she saw the woman's body, Xu Qinghuan couldn't help but be startled. She once again deeply felt that there had been great changes in her past and present lives.
Although she didn't catch the real culprit behind the scenes, she had a feeling that she might have been fooled and deceived in her previous life.
She had known this woman in her previous life. She was skillful, had a smile on her face all day long, spoke softly, and could always relieve people's worries.
When she saw this woman for the first time in her previous life, she fell in love with her and kept her by her side.
After that, she stayed in Beijing for several years, and this woman stayed with her all the time. Although she was not as capable as the servants from the Li family and the Xu family, she still did a lot for her.
She actually knew the dead woman, Lin Sanniang, who had combed her hair in her previous life.
Although Lin Sanniang's facial features were swollen and distorted due to the beating, Xu Qinghuan recognized her immediately.
Lin Sanniang had served her for a long time in her previous life, but for some unknown reason in this life, Lin Sanniang died in such a miserable way.
Why did things become like this?
Xu Qinghuan thought about it carefully and quickly calmed down from the initial shock.
The biggest change in her past life and this life is that she pursued these cases earlier. From Wang Yun to Zhang Xing and White Dragon King, Lin Sanniang's death was definitely not an accident, but more like killing someone out of fear that the matter would be exposed.
Mrs. Wang San's behavior today was also very strange. A person who was afraid of seeing corpses walked into Yizhuang and looked at Lin Sanniang's face. Then, as if her thoughts were confirmed, she immediately turned around and left.
She guessed right, Mrs. Wang San came here to inquire about information this time. Only people with evil intentions would be anxious and uneasy at this moment.
The answer seems to be ready to come out.
Is Lin Sanniang an innocent person, or was she driven by someone early on? When the truth of the case is revealed, all this will come to light.
Lin Sanniang seems insignificant, but even such an inconspicuous person has such secrets hidden behind her.
In her previous life, she had been too confused, or she had been calculated too thoroughly.
The carriage stopped and Feng Chu stepped forward to help Xu Qinghuan out of the car. Xu Qinghuan was still thinking about it and walked forward blankly.
"What are you thinking about?"
A deep voice came.
Xu Qinghuan raised his head and saw Song Chengxuan.
She walked forward with doubts in her eyes, as if she was thinking hard about something. Her face still looked so calm and calm, but there was clearly a hint of sadness.
I don’t know who it is because of or what.
So he asked aloud.
"Master Song," the girl's eyes became clear again, "Why are you here?"
Song Chengxuan looked at the front door of Xu's house and said, "Go in and have a cup of tea."
Naturally, it was impossible for this man to really come here to drink tea. Xu Qinghuan asked Feng Chu to make tea, but he quickly changed his mind, "Bring the tea leaves and tea baskets."
Since she has nothing to do, she might as well make tea for Mr. Song with her own hands.
