144 The Seventh Lady 14
It was already dusk when he returned to the capital. Bo Ruoyou first sent Cheng Yunzhi back to Cheng's house, and then went to the yamen.
Wu Xiang ran in the yamen all day, and was frowning at the two bills he received today. He was very tired and couldn't figure out the joints, and he was irritated and pinched his fingers and joints.
Hou Yang and his friends stood in front of each other and looked at each other, not daring to make a sound. Until they saw Bo Ruoyou coming, Hou Yang immediately said: "Miss Bo is here!"
Wu Xiang raised his eyes when he saw Bo Ruoyou suddenly coming, and stood up to meet him, "It's going to be dark, why are you here?"
Bo Ruoyou looked loose. Seeing that his grief was still invisible, he asked, "Captain can get something today?"
Wu Xiang sighed bitterly, "The people in the library really can't remember the appearance of the people who bought books that day. I asked someone to paint a portrait of the young masters and a few masters of the Liu family and let them recognize them, but none of them recognized. However, when I checked the details of the Liu family, I got a new clue. The third wife of the Liu family was a bit strange."
Bo Ruoyou's eyes moved slightly, "What's so weird?"
Wu Xiang said: "I didn't tell you earlier that although the master of the Liu family is the leader, most of the second master is in charge of the business and people in the family. It's just that others are not safe enough. Now the third master is also helping. But after we investigated several Liu family businesses, we found that the third master seemed to have the intention of starting a new business. The business he handled was changed to the supplier's previous company, and one of the suppliers was the manager of the Liu family who was swept out three years ago."
Wu Xiang frowned and said, "People in the mansion said that the third master is kind and smart, and it is impossible to not investigate when changing the supplier, but he is still the case. I guess he has made arrangements long ago. The Liu family is not divided now, and the power of the family is divided according to the elder brother. Even if he is older than him, the second brother is obviously a bag of wine, but he still holds the business power at home. He has some other thoughts, which seems ordinary. I thought about it carefully for a while and haven't figured out what this incident has to do with the case."
Bo Ruoyou immediately said: "It's related-"
Wu Xiang looked at her, and Bo Ruoyou said solemnly: "I came to the yamen to tell the captain that the murderer in this case was Liu Heng, the fourth son of the Liu family. On the way I came, I was wondering whether Liu Yao was killed because the murderer did not want to reveal his affair with her, or if there was another reason. Now I think about it, I am afraid that it is not just as simple as concealing his personal relationship."
Wu Xiang couldn't help asking, "Fourth Young Master? Why is it him?"
"I went to Xiangguo Temple today." Bo Ruoyou continued, "I went to ask the little monk who was on duty in the temple on the sixth day of the day. The master said that the day of the sixth day of the day was indeed as Liu Heng said earlier. He entered the temple gate around noon, and then recited the sutra for an hour and a half in the Buddhist temple, and left with vegetarian food. However, when I asked today, the little master mentioned a detail of the day and said that shortly after entering the Buddhist temple, one of Liu Heng's servants disappeared. He did not pay attention. When it was time to use vegetarian food, the servant appeared again."
"There are many pilgrims elsewhere in the temple, and no one will ask a servant where he went. I guess Liu Heng changed his clothes with the servant, and then asked the servant to stay in the Buddhist temple to pretend to be himself, leaving the corner gate to Shuiyue Temple."
Wu Xiang was excited when he heard this, and walked back and forth for two steps and asked again, "But the little monk has been guarding the Buddhist temple. Can't he see who is who?"
Bo Ruoyou said, "The Buddhist temple is sitting west and facing east. Before noon, the sun can fall into the door. The indoor light is very good, but if it is noon, the light in the Buddhist temple will be much darker. I still remember that I met Liu Heng's servant in the Liu Mansion. Others are as tall as Liu Heng. If you look at the back, they are somewhat similar. In addition, the little master is not familiar with Liu Heng, so he will naturally preconceive the idea of using clothes and dress to recognize people. It is very simple to hide it from this little master."
"I told the captain before that the three people who visited Liu Yao after the incident were the most suspicious. Although Liu Heng had not gone, his father, Mr. Liu San, went and was the first to go. So I wonder if Mr. Liu San knew that Liu Heng had killed someone, or was deceived by Liu Heng to see if Liu Yao was really dead."
Wu Xiang listened to her intently, "It's only through this explanation! Even though Mr. Liu San helped the vulgar things in his family, he was not a person who cared about the younger generation. After the accident, he never sent the younger generation to see it, but actually went there himself. This is strange."
After a slight pause, Wu Xiang asked again: "But you went to Xiangguo Temple specifically. Did you doubt Liu Heng from the beginning?"
Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "That's not the case. Before yesterday, I didn't doubt anyone very much, but it was not until I found out that the book "The Book of Hair Search" disappeared and I met the Changle Building shopkeeper who came to collect money at the door of the Liu family that I felt that Liu Heng was extremely strange."
"Changle Tower..." Wu Xiang was still puzzled. He had seen the people from Changle Tower and heard what he said. Although he mentioned that Liu Heng went to Changle Tower, Changle Tower was an ordinary winery, and it was very common for the young masters of wealthy families to go there.
Bo Ruoyou said, "Captain can visit the East City?"
Wu Xiang grabbed his head, "I've walked around naturally-"
Bo Ruoyou didn't know what he remembered, and he slightly held his lips. "In the wine shops on the east city, there are often small operas. Walking on the long street, you can hear the tunes and lyrics in the surrounding buildings. Although I have never been to Changle Building, I think this restaurant is not an ordinary wine shop, and I think there are such tricks. When I went to Hanwen Library that day, the shopkeeper said that someone wanted to set the rhythm of "The Story of the Chai" and sang it. Yesterday, I went to Changle Building and found that Changle Building really had to prepare the book of "The Story of the Chai". On the day when Liu Heng went, he happened to meet someone asking about it. He also said that when "The Story of the Chai" was on stage, he was going to listen."
Wu Xiang's eyes rolled, "What? It's very common to sing the story of the story."
Bo Ruoyou nodded, "It's indeed very ordinary, but the murderer didn't steal the script sooner or later, but he only stole it after we left the Marquis' Mansion the previous time. Why is this?"
"I guess the murderer didn't realize at first that the storybook might be evidence. Perhaps he didn't even buy it himself. Who would notice when the storybook started to be sold? As long as the story is good, it's fine."
"And if the murderer knew from the beginning, the night when Liu Yan brought Liu Yao's close-fitting belongings back to the Liu Mansion, the murderer should have found a way to steal the evidence so as not to leave a handle. The reason why he stole at that special moment must be because he suddenly realized this problem. When I was in the Liu Mansion yesterday, I had this doubt. I wanted to leave and ask the captain to check if someone went to the theater and the restaurant in the past few days, but I didn't expect to meet the person from Changle Building."
After pausing, she said in a deep voice: "I guess Liu Heng didn't realize this at first, so he wouldn't go to the library to ask. In Changle Tower, others asked when "The Legend of the Chaikra" would be on stage. The servant would definitely explain that this was a new book recently. They needed time to prepare. After hearing this, Liu Heng realized that he had fallen into Liu Yao's relics."
Wu Xiang followed Bo Ruoyou's thoughts and felt that everything was natural. He raised his thick eyebrows, "I understand! This person used a trick. I guess he must have used similar methods to see Liu Yao privately in addition to visiting Liu Yao with the second young master."
After narrowing his eyes, Wu Xiang had an idea in his heart, "Liu Heng is a stubborn person, so I will attack those two servants. I don't believe that they can really dare to bear the murder case in order to protect their master."
Bo Ruoyou had already told all his achievements, and it was not her responsibility to question him. Seeing that Wu Xiangfeng was in charge of a horse, she said goodbye and went home first.
It was already dark, and the dinner was ready after returning home. Bo Ruoyou accompanied Cheng Yunzhi to use dinner and helped him grind ink and write a prescription. Looking at the prescription for treating the poison of golden ointment in front of him, he naturally thought of Huo Weilou.
She was not as calm as Huo Qinghong said, nor was she not afraid, but she didn't cry, nor did she show her emotions on her face. Now she has no other way except to calm herself and wait for news.
Bo Ruoyou felt heavy in his heart, and he had to find something for himself to relieve this fear. He helped Cheng Yunzhi to rest late at night. Early the next morning, Bo Ruoyou rushed to Wuzhaohou's mansion in a carriage.
When I arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, I saw Eunuch Fu. Eunuch Fu knew why she came and sighed, "There is still no news in the southwest, so I'm afraid I can't care. Ning Xiao's point has not arrived yet, so it's probably in chaos in the southwest."
What the Eunuch Fu said is good, but Bo Ruoyou knew that if Huo Weilou had been found, the people below would not dare to hide it from the capital no matter what. She calculated the time and it would take as long as three days to send a copy to the southwest. Perhaps Huo Weilou had escaped from danger two days ago.
Exhale, Bo Ruoyou looked at the hospital and put down, "How is the prince?"
"The prince has returned to the Duke's mansion--" Eunuch Fu sighed.
Bo Ruoyou was a little surprised, and Eunuch Fu smiled bitterly and said, "Go back and go back. Now I'm so happy. Go back to accompany the Duke and the Duke's wife, so I should also reassure them. Seeing that the prince was so depressed, I didn't know what he was thinking, so I didn't dare to force him to stay."
Bo Ruoyou thought about it, and then spoke to Eunuch Fu in the Hou Mansion for a while. After asking the eldest princess how she was in a state of illness, she left the Hou Mansion and came to the yamen. On the way, she felt even colder and could not imagine what would happen if Huo Weilou was really seriously injured or even died.
When she arrived at the yamen, her expression returned to normal. When she entered the gate, she met all the familiar yamen servants. When Hou Yang saw her coming, he immediately came up and said happily: "Girl, the case has been done! The headmaster brought two servants back to interrogate last night, but it took them midnight to confess. It was only a moment ago that Mr. Liu and the fourth son were also arrested--"
Before the suspect confessed, she was worried after all. After getting Hou Yang's words, she felt a little at ease. She went into the back hall to wait. Before Wu Xiang came out of the prison, she waited for Sun Zhao who came out of the palace.
Sun Zhao didn't see her for two days. When she saw her today, her expression was even more eager to speak. Bo Ruoyou thought about Eunuch Fu's words and future replies. Why did Sun Zhao's expression look like this?
She asked in her heart if she had doubts. Sun Zhao stepped back and said to her only: "The Marquis was in danger in the southwest. There is no news now. In the morning court today, I saw that movement, and it seemed that His Majesty wanted to order the Second Highness to take over the Zhishu."
