Chapter 21 Finding Evidence

"Mrs. Qian, please sit here, and go to their place to see in this county."

Yun Yaru suddenly stood up and said politely, then ignored Mrs. Qian's eyes that wanted to eat people and turned around and left the front hall.

Not long after, Yun Yaru had already arrived at the edge of the pond.

She had asked the old nanny here before. When she heard that Mr. Qian was driving the yard, she found that it was a living water here, so she built a pond, so she admired the lotus in summer.

"Brother Zhan, have you discovered anything?" Yun Yaru asked.

"I picked up a very small bead in the grass here. After a while, I went to Aunt Li's house to see if it had fallen." Zhan Zhao held the small bead in his hand.

Yun Yaru looked over carefully and found that the bead seemed to fall from a hairpin.

"I'll ask Captain Xiao to send someone to the pond to see it, maybe it may not be possible to gain something." Yun Yaru thought for a while.

"It seems that this is the only way." Zhan Zhao said, wrapping the small bead in his handkerchief again.

"Brother Zhan, I wonder if there are any other discoveries besides this?" Yun Yaru was a little curious and expected.

"You're thinking well. I also found some blood stains left in the grass in the grass. No one noticed it at that time, so it was preserved." Zhan Zhao said, squatting down and pushing away the grass with his hands, pointing to Yun Yaru.

Yun Yaru also walked forward quickly, squatted down and looked in the direction Zhan Zhao pointed, and found a dark red mark on it.

She quickly reached out and dipped it in the dark red mark, put it on the edge of her nose and sniffed it hard, "This really smells bloody."

"It seems that these are the clues that can be found by the pond. Let's go to Captain Xiao to take a look, hoping that he can gain something from it." Yun Yaru said.

However, before the two of them had left for a long time, a yamen run over hurriedly and said in a pissy voice: "Sir, Captain Xiao found something in the room where Aunt Li was sleeping. I want to invite you to see it."

"What are you waiting for? You are leading the way, let's go here." Yun Yaru couldn't help feeling anxious when she heard this.

Yun Yaru and the other two soon arrived at the side courtyard where Aunt Li lived. She found that the environment here looked very quiet, but the layout of the yard looked nothing on the surface, but in fact, many places were slightly out of place.

It seems that Aunt Li is relying on the rich old lady to support her. Otherwise, she might not be so arrogant if she gave her a hundred courages.

"Sir, you are here." Captain Xiao saw Yun Yaru walking into the side courtyard and hurriedly came out.

"Captain Xiao, now tell me about your discovery to this county." Yun Yaru went straight to the topic.

Seeing this, Captain Xiao was not talking nonsense to her, so he slowly told him what he had just discovered.

"Let's go and take this county to have a look."

While talking, Yun Yaru, Zhan Zhao and Captain Xiao had already arrived at the room where Aunt Li slept.

"Sir, look, we found this small porcelain bottle in her makeup box, and there were several silver needles of the same length." Captain Xiao said, and handed the porcelain bottle to Yun Yaru who came in.

Yun Yaru opened the small porcelain bottle and sniffed it carefully, and already knew about what was in the small porcelain bottle.

"This is the poison that Aunt Li stabbed in Qian Haoyu with a silver needle behind his ear." Yun Yaru thought for a while.

Captain Xiao was shocked when he heard Yun Yaru say this. It seemed that the old saying is the most poisonous thing but the woman's heart.

Captain Xiao didn't know what was going on, but a sentence popped up in his mind. It seemed that it was wiser to have only married one wife.

"Sir, I just found a hairpin in Aunt Li's jewelry box." Zhan Zhao said, handing over the hairpin.

Yun Yaru took it and looked carefully and found that there was a bead missing on the hairpin. It seemed that it was the one they had just found by the pond.

"In addition to this, what new discoveries do you have when searching?" Yun Yaru continued to ask.

"We found this under the blue bricks in the corner of her bedroom." As he said that, Captain Xiao opened a small box.

Yun Yaru found that there was a very ordinary jade pendant inside, which looked a little inconsistent with the things in her jewelry box.

"You guys tell me, could this jade pendant be given to her by the shopkeeper Lanshan Pavilion before?" Yun Yaru analyzed.

"It's hard to say this, looking at Aunt Li's temperament." Captain Xiao whispered.

"But she has married into the Qian Mansion and has a good time with Mr. Qian. Why do you still keep this?" Yun Yaru was a little confused, but this had nothing to do with the case. She just asked someone to put it away and didn't say it again.

"Bizhi, I found a bloody dress and a bloody dagger in Zhang Qing's room." Captain Xiao said without waiting for Yun Yaru to ask.

Yun Yaru found out that Captain Xiao's expression was a little excited at this time.

He didn't expect that he would have such a big gain in searching the Qian Mansion today.

"You guys found the bloody dagger and the bloody clothes in Zhang Qing's room." Yun Yaru always felt that these things were more like shackles.

"Sir, you may not know yet. At the wall near his bed, we found a living brick. When we took it out, we found these two things." Captain Xiao narrowed his eyes with a smile.

Yun Yaru understood what he meant, but always felt something was wrong with Jing, so she directly ordered, "Don't you think it's a little coincidental."

"If you killed someone, you would still leave the bloody clothes and bloody daggers in the room?" Yun Yaru asked back.

"Of course not, I'm not that stupid, so I must have destroyed these things as soon as possible. After all, it's always a problem to keep these things." Zhan Zhao shook his head.

Captain Xiao calmed down after Zhan Zhao said this, thinking that what Zhan Zhao said was very reasonable. If he were the murderer, he would not have left such conspicuous evidence in his room.

But if it weren't for him, Captain Xiao was puzzled.

"Captain Xiao, please send someone to Fang Hai's house to take a look immediately; find a yamen runner who can understand water and go to the pond to take a look." Yun Yaru said.

"Sir, you don't doubt this Fang Hai, are you?" Captain Xiao couldn't believe it.

"According to them, only Aunt Li, Zhang Qing and Fang Hai who had been to the pond that day, while Qian Haoran, the second son of the Qian family, just ordered Zhang Qing to transport the body to the deserted house, and did not go there in person." Yun Yaru analyzed to Captain Xiao.

"But they have raised their own suspicion to Mama Zheng, Butler Qian, Mrs. Qian, and the rooms where Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Qian must be checked one by one."

"I am not good at hiring, let's arrange for someone to check!" Captain Xiao nodded and then turned around and left.

Yun Yaru nodded.

"Brother Zhan, why don't we wander around in the Qian Mansion, maybe we can find something by chance." Yun Yaru suggested.

Zhan Zhao nodded.

The two turned around and began to wander around the Qian Mansion as if aimlessly. Along the way, they didn't let go of every corner they could see.

"Sir, I just thought about it carefully. If Fang Hai stabbed the knife wound on Qian Haoyu with a dagger, it would be a bit unreasonable." Zhan Zhao suddenly spoke.

"Brother Zhan, why not tell me what you think of this case." Yun Yaru turned to look at Zhan Zhao.

"I think we might as well go back to the pond and take a look." Zhan Zhao suggested.

"If it was Zhang Qing's stab, then there should be a large piece of blood in the grass; but if it was Aunt Li's own stab, then the blood behind should be left behind by her inattention when she dragged the corpse."

Zhan Zhao put forward his own ideas.

After hearing this, Yun Yaru nodded unconsciously, thinking that Zhan Zhao’s analysis made sense. It seemed that he should look for it in the grass near the pond.

"Then let's go back to the pond now. Even if the blood has been cleaned up, I believe there should be some remaining in the grass."

Because through this, she could determine who the knife wound on Qian Haoyu was stabbed by him. As she thought about it, Yun Yaru couldn't help but speed up her pace.

After all, the whole case is temporarily stuck there by this point.

While talking, Yun Yaru and Zhan Zhao had already returned to the vicinity of Qianfu Pond.

"Brother Zhan, let's look for it from both sides separately, so it's faster." Yun Yaru pointed.

Zhan Zhao nodded, and then quickly walked to the other side of the pond.

With the fact that Zhan Zhao had found blood in the grass before, Yun Yaru was full of confidence in this search.

At this moment, a yamen runner emerged from the pond with wet body.

"Sir, I'll search carefully after going into the water..."

"Don't be busy for now, go back to the county yard and dry the wet clothes on your body." Yun Yaru interrupted the yamen runner's words.

The yamen runner was very moved. He didn't expect that the newly appointed county magistrate was so kind to his subordinates.

After saying that, Yun Yaru had already picked up her clothes, squatted down, lowered her head, and conducted a carpet-style search inch by inch inch inch inches of inch inches of inch inches of inch inches of inch inches of inch inches of inch inches of inch inches of inch inches of inch inches of inch inches of inch inches of inch inches of inch inches of in

Although sometimes the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment it brings, fortunately did not disappoint Yun Yaru this time.

She and Zhan Zhao really found several other blood stains left in the grass in this grass. Although these blood stains had already dried up, they were still there.

At the same time, they also found two blood stains left when dragging the corpse.

One of them was dragged out of the pond, because after so long apart, the water stains remaining on the ground were no longer visible on the ground.

However, through the traces left in the grass, Yun Yaru speculated that when Zhang Qing dragged the body out of the pond, the deceased should have had many stabs stabbed by someone.

Because if Zhang Qing stabbed Qian Haoyu with a knife, he would have put the body on the ground first.

However, the traces of dragging the corpse were very continuous, and there was no pause in the middle.

And if it were his thorns, the blood left in the grass was definitely not what she saw now.

Yun Yaru looked at another trace left when she was dragged. Because it was a small path paved with bluestone slabs, they only found some remaining blood in the gaps in the bluestone slabs, and the others should have been cleaned up.

It seems that Aunt Li stabbed Master Qian with a knife, but she didn't know why she had to hide this matter after admitting that she had killed Qian Haoyu.

If it is true that she just stabbed Qian Haoyu with a poison needle behind her ear, then it should be someone else who stabs so many times in Qian Haoyu with a knife.

In other words, at the time of the incident, in addition to herself and Qian Haoyu, there was a very likely third person present in Aunt Li's house. This is just her unilateral guess at the moment.

Just as Yun Yaru found an important clue, Captain Xiao also discovered something.

It turned out that he had found something that when Mr. Qian Qian Haoyu's personal mother was there, she died of dysfunction.

Then, in order to better take care of his son, Mr. Qian married Mrs. Qian into the door.

Because of this incident, Mrs. Qian sold more than half of the maids and servants at that time, so not many people knew about this.

It was only by chance that I learned about it today. In addition to the information I found from the Qian Mansion secretly before, I can now fully confirm that Qian Haoran and Qian Haoyu are half-brothers.
