Chapter two hundred and ten
Xiao Yuer and others immediately went to the village of the rich and gentry Xiao, and the little prince Zhao Xing insisted on following him. Everyone knew it, what else could it be? Of course, Zhao Rong was coming, so she had to follow her butt. She was having fun with others. Fortunately, she changed to casual clothes. Even so, she was rich and rich. We can't compare.
With the help of the prefect Wang, I met the housekeeper. Unfortunately, Uncle Xiao has been wandering out and has not returned yet.
Gongsun Ce and Shan asked, "Can you go in and see the crime scene?"
Zhou Bin gave a charming look to Butler Ding, and was caught by Xiao Yuer. Oh? These two people have an affair? It's not bad, after all, they are both housekeepers.
"This?!" Butler Ding was a little hesitant. The master didn't dare to put it in private if he was not at home.
Sure enough, Ma Shan was ridden by someone, and Ren Shan was bullied. Xiao Yu'er's eyes turned, she came to Zhao Xing and whispered: "Prince, what do you think of Mr. Gongsun?"
"Very good, very strong, much stronger than my Zhou Bin." Zhao Xing said without thinking. After all, he is a scholar, mercy? He is the kind of studying hard.
Zhou Bin stared at Xiaoyuer fiercely, "You guys, wait for me."
Xiaoyuer said:
"Now we are facing difficulties. The butler will not let us in. So please help from the prince?"
When Zhao Xing heard this, he said, "What did you think it was? Some small things are easy to deal with."
Zhou Bin quickly stopped him and said, "Prince, aren't you visiting privately on a private basis? Do you have to keep a low profile? If you encounter danger again..."
"Yes." Zhao Xing suddenly remembered.
"Don't you want to be with Sister Rong..." Xiao Yuer seemed to be seducing Zhao Xing when she said here. As a result, Zhao Xing was really fooled. She patted her chest and said, "Leave this matter to me."
Zhao Xing looked a little unhappy. He came to the door and said, "I am the prince, get out of here."
When Mr. Ding saw Zhao Xing, he immediately wanted to kneel down and kowtow. He looked at the person kneeling on the ground and felt good.
Zhao Rong gave Xiaoyuer a blank look and said, "Are you cheating him again?"
"No? How dare I cheat him? I cheated you." Xiao Yuer smiled.
I saw a few clothes in the locker room, but I didn't expect that this old guy would like this kind of style.
Gongsun Ce carefully checked and found a few missing pieces. He asked, "Are all the clothes here?"
Mr. Ding said: "No, I've given it to those actors."
"Do you remember the costumes of those people?"
"certainly."
After being introduced by Mr. Ding, Juren and his wife were wearing white and green clothes at that time, which was very delicate; Uncle Xiao and Gu were wearing purple and beige clothes, and Juren's clothes were very delicate—the pleated trim and ruffles, the hunchback and the tall hat. Yes, as we thought, it was quite exquisite.
Prefect Wang seemed a little unhappy. But it was obvious that Xiao Yuer and the others didn't want to explain anything, so they had to pretend that they didn't mind about this matter as much as possible. When we were about to leave, the owner of the house came back and Prefect Wang gave the necessary introduction.
This is Uncle Xiao. He is about fifty years old, gentle and handsome, with a handsome face. His eyes were slutty and tired and powerless as a pretentious person. It is obvious that this is a big-sex person who is a big-sex person. Everyone immediately became disgusted with him.
After a brief introduction, they knew each other's names. Of course, Zhao Xing and others could not introduce them.
Uncle Xiao greeted us gracefully and said, "I have long admired Daming and long admired Daming." He claimed that his knowledge of Gongsun Ce had long been well known and he was always waiting for instructions.
"It hurts my nephew's death. The prince also supervises us to step up."
"But I'm worried that my nephew's death mystery will never be solved. The whole incident seems particularly confusing."
Gongsun Ce stared at him tightly: "Do you know what enemies your nephew has?"
"Absolutely not, I'm sure." He paused for a while and continued. "If you have any questions..."
"Only one." Gongsun Ce was very serious. Is the clothes introduced by the housekeeper Ding the dress they were dressed at that time?
“It’s exactly the same.”
"Thank you, sir. That's what I want to figure it out. Goodbye."
As we were walking along the street, Zhao Xing became interested and asked, "What are you doing below?"
Xiaoyuer replied: "Go to a place?"
Zhao Rong asked, "How is it?"
Xiaoyuer smiled and said, "You can close the case."
Ma Xiaoling asked, "What? Are you kidding! Do you know who killed the dead?"
Xiao Yuer smiled and said, "Of course. Not only I know, but Mr. Gongsun Ce also knows."
Prefect Wang interjected, "Who is it? Uncle Xiao?"
"Ah, Lord Wang, but you don't have to worry. When the time is right, I will explain everything. I don't need any honors - this case is yours, and the condition is that you have to let me handle the ending in your own way."
"That's fair," said the prefect Wang, "I mean, if there is an ending! But I said, you can really keep your mouth shut, right?" Everyone smiled and refused to answer. Although Zhao Xing was the prince and Jinling City was his fief, he did not care about politics or military affairs.
The magistrate Wang said:
"Okay, we have to go back to the yamen." He walked along the street with great strides.
Zhao Xing asked, "Where are we going now?"
Gongsun Ce said: "Go to find a juren and his wife."
Zhao Xing asked Zhao Rong: "What do you think of Old Man Xiao?"
Zhao Rong went to ask Xiaoyuer and asked, "What do you think?"
Xiao Yuer asked back, "Do you think he is the murderer, do you?"
Zhao Rong replied honestly: "For instinct, I don't believe him at all."
Ma Xiaoling interrupted, "Don't you see this?"
Gongsun Ce did not comment: "I, I think he is very friendly to us."
After all, Ma Xiaoling stayed with them for a longer time, so she was smarter, saying, "Because he has a motive!, right? When his nephew dies, he can inherit the inheritance."
Gongsun Ce looked at Ma Xiaoling, shook his head sadly, muttering to himself, as if saying, "No order."
Ma Xiaoling asked, "Is my analysis wrong?"
"Yes, but it's too blatant. If Uncle Xiao really killed him, wouldn't he be the first to be suspected?" Xiao Yuer explained.
The Juren and his wife lived not far away. The Juren was not there, but his wife was at home. We were introduced into a long and low room with many fancy things hanging in it. The air in the room was very unrefresh, which made people feel very depressed, and there was a choking fragrance.
The juren's wife came soon. She was not big. She had fair skin, was very delicate, and was charming and loving. The cunning and shrewdness in her eyes showed.
Gongsun Ce explained to her the relationship between us and the case, and she shook her head and looked very sad.
"Poor Xiao, Eryan is also very pitiful! We both like her very much. We feel very sad about her misfortune. What do you want to ask me? Do I have to tell you about the terrible night again?"
"Oh, madam, please believe me, I will not torture your feelings for no reason. In fact, Lord Wang has told me everything I want to know. I just want to see the costume you wore at that night's dance."
The juren's wife looked a little surprised.
Gongsun Ce continued to say calmly: "Madam, you understand that this is a confession in the church. There we always have to reproduce the crime scene. I have a real description that is possible. If this is the case, you know. Clothing will be very important."
The juren's wife still seemed a little doubtful.
"Of course, I've heard about recreating the crime scene," she said. "But I don't know you're so demanding about the details. But I'll get my clothes now."
She left the room and came back soon, holding a bunch of delicate white and green satin in her hand. Gongsun Ce took it, looked carefully, and handed it back.
"Thank you, madam! I think you accidentally lost a green pom pom at your shoulder."
"Yes, it fell down during the banquet. I picked it up and handed it over to the poor Xiao Haoshen, and asked him to keep it for me."
"Is that after supper?"
"Yes."
"Maybe, it was not long before the tragedy?"
A hint of horror flashed through the eyes of the lady of Juren. She quickly said, "Oh, no--a long time before that. In fact, it was just a short time after dinner."
"I understand, okay, that's it! I won't bother you anymore, madam, goodbye."
"Okay." I said as I came out of the house, "that explains the mystery of green pompoons."
"I can't see it."
"Huh, what do you mean?"
"You saw me checking the clothes, Xiaoyuer?"
"So what?"
"Okay, the thrown green pomrose did not fall off naturally, but the Juren said it fell off naturally. On the contrary, it was cut off, and my friend was cut off with scissors. The thread ends were very uniform."
"My God!" Ma Xiaoling shouted, "This is becoming more and more complicated."
"On the contrary," Xiao Yuer replied calmly, "This is getting easier and simpler. Is it Mr. Gongsun?" Gongsun Ce smiled without saying a word. Perhaps this is a communication between smart people.
