"Woman?" Mo Hua was startled: "Is there such a fierce woman in our house?"
But when she took a closer look, she saw that the window was long and narrow, but not high. Even someone as short as Jiang Wu could turn it over if he stood on tiptoe. But just like Jiang Wu said, this window was not very tall.
The window is locked from the inside, not the outside, and the lock is an ordinary lock, but it cannot be opened from the outside.
"But, Miss... this lock is locked from the inside. Is it possible that the murderer can grow wings and fly?"
Jiang Wu thought for a while, "Have you checked outside the house just now?"
Mo Hua shook his head.
Jiang Wu: "Let's go and take a look outside the house first."
The two walked to the window outside the house. There was a garden on the back of Rongan Hall. There was soil under the window, but there were no traces of footprints. It had rained the night before, and the rain was not too heavy. It was winter and spring was approaching.
The climate is generally relatively humid and cloudy all the time, so the soil should not dry so quickly. In other words, if the murderer entered or left the room through the window this morning, there should be certain traces left on the soil.
So there is another explanation here. The murderer may have skipped the area closer to the wall and jumped directly into the flowers, but... there were no traces of being trampled on the flowers and grass in the flowers.
This is wonderful.
Mo Hua was stunned when he saw it, "Is it possible that this murderer can't succeed with his easy work?"
There seems to be no other explanation other than this. Jiang Wu even looked at the wall and there were no footprints, which meant that the murderer probably didn't run to the roof.
This is really, really weird when you think about it.
There are two windows on the left and right, one facing the main courtyard and the other facing the hanging flower gate. Inside the hanging flower gate is where Chen and Duan live.
Jiang Wu thought that if she was the murderer, she would have entered through the window on the right, because there were too many people in the main courtyard. No matter what circumstances she entered Rongan Hall, she would have attracted a lot of attention. Moreover, it was a large area.
During the day, and also when many maids reminded her, "The old lady has a bad temper, don't come near her."
"Miss, what should we do now? We can't just be stuck here, right?" Mo Hua was a little melancholy. If the case doesn't improve by tomorrow night, wouldn't it mean that she would be punished? As the eldest lady's maid, she is naturally not afraid.
She was just worried that if the incident got so big and the eldest lady couldn't solve the case, wouldn't it be embarrassing? Then the deterrence she had finally built up would be gone.
To be honest, Jiang Wu actually doesn't know what to do now... When she was in Beizhen Fusi, many times she only needed to come up with a rough idea, and Fu Heng would naturally arrange for Jin Yiwei to do it well.
Fu Heng is not the commander of the Imperial Guard for nothing. In many cases, at least half of the credit goes to Fu Heng.
But now, time is short, and she is the only one handling the case.
"Well... let me ask you a question." Jiang Wu suddenly said.
Mo Hua hurriedly said with sincerity and fear: "If you have any questions, young lady, just ask your servant."
Jiang Wu smiled: "Don't be alarmed, I just want to ask... you or Ging Guo, who is more popular in the house?"
Mo Hua was stunned for a moment: "Huh?" Of course, as a well-trained maid, although she didn't know what her master was going to do, she just had to listen to her master!
"Ging Guo has a simple and kind temperament. Although she is a little timid, she is very popular in the house. She is very popular with the woman in the kitchen. The slave's parents are the stewards of the house. If anything happens, you can only go to your parents.
"Yes." Mo Hua was a little uneasy, thinking that if the eldest lady wanted to give an important order, but she missed this opportunity because she was not as cheerful as Bai Guo, wouldn't she be a head shorter than Bai Guo? Forget it, that silly girl Bai Guo, even if she is
I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to seize it if given the chance to express herself.
Jiang Wu pondered for a while: "Ask the three of them to inquire among the old people in this mansion to find out if the old lady had committed any crime in the mansion more than ten years ago. Remember, you have to inquire quietly so that no one can see it.
As for you, call all the servants from Rong'an Hall to the courtyard and say that I have something to give you."
Mo Hua nodded in agreement.
Time soon arrived in the afternoon. In Rongan Hall, servant Wuyang Wuyang stood in several rows. Jiang Wu said calmly: "You must already know what happened today, and I won't talk in circles with you. All of you, please tell me."
Just lift up your sleeves and let my maid take a look."
Although the servants didn't understand what she wanted to do, they were the master after all. They didn't dare to disobey the master's orders, so they immediately rolled up their sleeves. Mo Hua was more thoughtful than Ging Guo in doing things. She was really intimidating when she looked cold.
, after she looked around, she looked at it a second time without giving up, but there were really no scratches on anyone's wrists.
Mo Hua reported the matter to Jiang Wu. After hearing this, Jiang Wu's expression remained calm: "Besides this, are there any other findings?"
Mo Hua thought for a while, pointed to a short boy in the team, and said: "Although there are no scratches on this man's arm, there is a burn, and it is new. I suspect there is something fishy."
Burn... Jiang Wu narrowed his eyes and smiled: "You are quite smart."
Mo Hua was praised unexpectedly, and the tips of his ears were a little red.
Jiang Wu looked in the direction pointed by the ink painting. The boy was indeed short, probably not much taller than her. The boy looked like he was five feet tall. Jiang Wu stood up and walked towards the boy.
Sure enough, I saw a rather large burn on his arm, which looked really scary.
"How to perm it?" Jiang Wu asked.
The boy lowered his eyebrows and said: "To answer the eldest lady, the servant is the one who boils the water in the kitchen. There are many people in the kitchen. When I heard that something happened to the old lady, there was some confusion. The servant didn't pay attention and was poured with boiling hot water.
hand."
At this time, the person next to him also said: "Miss, this guy is short and thin. He often spills water on himself accidentally when carrying water. He has been burned several times this year."
Jiang Wu's eyes circled around the two people, and then he calmly withdrew: "Okay, you can take him to apply medicine. If this hand doesn't get medicine, I'm afraid he will be disabled."
The two boys thought they were suspected, but now they looked relieved when Jiang Wu didn't say anything.
"Okay, it was just a routine inspection. If nothing happens, go back and do some work. Remember not to publicize what happened just now." Jiang Wu returned to his chair, and the servants bowed and left the yard.
Mo Hua was a little confused and whispered: "Miss, wouldn't it be a bit suspicious to be burned at this time?"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Wu, who had been flirting with Feng Jiyue just now, suddenly turned cold and said: "Mo Hua, find someone to follow the one who was burned just now."
