Bo Ruoyou was stunned.

Just now, Bo Yixian was there. Although she looked at her twice, there was no trouble in her heart. After all, she had guessed Bo Yixian's identity the last time, but she didn't expect Huo Weilou to have this thought.

Seeing that scene just now, she could almost guess what the old lady of Bo’s Mansion and Bo Yixian were thinking, but they all thought that Huo Weilou had a close relationship with her.

Huo Weilou said he wanted to support her.

Wu Zhaohou, who is powerful in the court and the country, supports her. What are the dangers of fear in the capital?

She knew how to avoid suspicion in the morning, but now she felt the warmth slid across her heart, and her nose felt slightly sour, "Why did the Marquis see the cousin of the folk girl here, so that's why?"

Huo Weilou felt pity since he saw her having an autopsy on the mountain. He just saw the eldest lady of the Bo family. Seeing her beautiful clothes and precious gold and jade, Bo Ruoyou didn't complain, he felt a little uneasy. When he got on the carriage, he couldn't help it. "It's not because of who is here, I did this, so I wanted to do it."

Bo Ruoyou was moved when he heard it again. Cheng Yunzhi said that with her identity as a coroner, Bo could not recognize her. Although she was not self-reliant, she understood what Cheng Yunzhi said was right and even she understood the truth. Huo Weilou naturally understood it very much. Today, in front of Bo Yixian and the old lady of the Bo Mansion, Huo Weilou wanted them to know that even if she was just a little coroner, he was the one he valued by Wu Zhaohou, and no one else could take her underestimate her.

Bo Ruoyou's voice was slightly hoarse, "Thank you, Marquis."

Huo Weilou saw her lips slightly raised, "Are you so moved?"

Bo Ruoyou nodded and said sincerely: "Since I was young, there was no one except for my adoptive father and mother. Ruoyou treated the daughters like this well." After a slight pause, Bo Ruoyou said worriedly: "It's just... the Marquis treats the daughters like this, I'm afraid that the Marquis will ruin the reputation of the Marquis."

Huo Weilou smiled at the corner of his lips, which was really helpless, "Why, aren't you afraid that others will think that you can only work with me by relying on your color?"

Bo Ruoyou shook his head again, "The Marquis treats the people's daughters with good intentions. The people's mother's autopsy skills are not bad, so she is not really afraid of such rumors."

Huo Weilou looked at her with a headache. He narrowed his eyes and said, "What is it that is not close to women? Is this a man who really want to become a monk?"

When Bo Ruoyou heard this, he couldn't help but think of what Huo Qinghong said the last time. She looked at Huo Weilou with a look, "Yes, the marquis always wants to get married."

Huo Weilou was so angry that she laughed. When Bo Ruoyou mentioned this, he felt a little overwhelmed and did not say it. He didn't know why he felt a little awkward in his heart. She hurriedly said: "No matter what, the marquis treats the people's women so compassionately, and the people's women cannot repay them. Unfortunately, the women only know how to perform autopsy and cannot be saddled with the marquis—"

Huo Weilou supported his forehead, "Do you really want to be a subordinate of this marquis?"

Bo Ruoyou actually asked, "Will the Marquis be a subordinate?"

Huo Weilou laughed furiously and stared at her again, as if he wanted to see what she was thinking through her eyes. Bo Ruoyou leaned back by his stern look and muttered helplessly: "Look, you don't like women because of the misfortune. If you hadn't had a murder now, you wouldn't have any women around you."

Huo Weilou wanted to refute her, but after thinking about it, he realized that what she said was the truth. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. He never expected that this reputation that was not close to women would one day cause him such a dilemma.

But soon, he looked up at Bo Ruoyou. Although everyone knew that he was not close to women, it was normal for Bo Ruoyou to agree with it deeply, but he treated her differently. Apart from being moved, did she not have any thoughts?

Seeing that his eyes were dim and Bo Ruoyou was nervous when he was pressed against the wall of the car, Huo Weilou suddenly asked: "You were born in Qingzhou after the age of five. Apart from your adoptive father and mother, are there people around you who are close friends? There are other friends."

Huo Weilou originally wanted to ask if there was a man with close ties, but he felt that it was too straightforward, so he asked this question.

But Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "No."

This surprised Huo Weilou and he felt relieved again, "You have been in Qingshan County for ten years, but you are the unparalleled friend?"

Bo Ruoyou smiled bitterly when he heard this, "When he was young, his neighbors had brothers and sisters of similar age, but his adoptive father and mother did not allow the common daughters to have fun with them. Later, when the common daughters got older, they rarely interacted with others."

Huo Weilou frowned when he heard this. He was a diligent and hardworking person since childhood. But even so, he had many friends when he was young, and Cheng Yunzhi and his wife were very fond of her, so how could she not allow her to make friends?

Seeing Huo Weilou a little surprised, Bo Ruoyou explained: "The people's daughters can't remember the things at that time. The adoptive father and mother are mostly afraid of accidents in the people's daughter." At this point, Bo Ruoyou said: "The Marquis doesn't know anything. When a Taoist priest was young, he said that the people's daughter's fate was poor, and maybe he could not live to be eighteen years old. Perhaps because of this, the adoptive father and mother took special care of the people's daughter."

"All nonsense." Huo Weilou rebuked, "If there were such a Taoist priest who could be loyal to heaven in the world, there would be no surprises. Who invited the Taoist priest at the beginning? Is it your elder Bo?"

Bo Ruoyou nodded, "It should be."

"Their heart is punishable." Huo Weilou also scolded, "You were young when you were, and they treated you like this, so you should be vicious and unfaithful."

Bo Ruoyou laughed when he heard this, Huo Weilou frowned, "You are still laughing--"

Bo Ruoyou hurriedly said, "The Marquis helped the people to stand up for justice, and the people were very happy."

Huo Weilou shook his head, and looked helpless on his face. He also felt that her thoughts on men and women were pure and that she had never made friends since childhood. He thought that it was a Taoist priest who said nonsense that made her lose the opportunity to make friends. He felt a little angry with Bo in his heart.

While the two were talking, the carriage had already entered Lanzhengfang. Bo Ruoyou lifted the curtain and looked at it. Seeing that it was getting late, he said worriedly: "I don't know if I can find clues on those pieces of paper--"

This statement also made Huo Weilou feel a little unsure. Before the carriage stopped at the Marquis' Mansion, they immediately brought the collected paper into the Marquis' Mansion. When they arrived at the main courtyard, Bo Ruoyou opened the bag and saw only a pile of snowflakes, and many of them were dirty with mud stains in the firewood. Bo Ruoyou rolled up his sleeves, "It's getting late, so you have to piece it together quickly."

Seeing that she was more anxious than anyone else, Huo Weilou shook his head and helped with the two embroidered clothes.

He poured the paper on the table, and Bo Ruoyou found new rice paper and pen and ink. If he could piece it together, he would piece it together into pieces. If he couldn't piece it together, he would just copy the identified words and phrases. After half an hour had passed without realizing it, night fell outside, and fire candles were lit inside and outside the marquis's mansion, and the paper had only been sorted out ten or three.

Bo Ruoyou wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked out, and Eunuch Fu hurriedly asked, "Do you want to go home?"

At this time, Bo Ruoyou had read many copybooks written by Wei Ling, and could best recognize her handwriting. Although she could hand it over to the embroidered clothes envoy, she was a little worried. Bo Ruoyou said, "Maybe I'd like to send someone to my house to spread it, and he said that I'd go back later today and let my adoptive father know that I'm in the Marquis' Mansion."

Naturally, Eunuch Fu didn't respond, so he quickly sent someone to Changxingfang to pass the message. Not long after, Ning Xiao came back from the Xu family.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Bo Ruoyou busy in the pile of shredded papers. He raised his eyebrows. Huo Weilou had reported that he had come out of the study room. He said, "How? Just report here."

Ning Xiao said, "The maid found her and asked her. She said that the reason why Xu Wanshu went to the West Market was because there was a shop selling pastries near the alley. She often took her there when Xu Wanshu's biological mother was still there. She also said that the marriage that Lord Xu had made for her was a nephew of Mrs. Xu. The nephew was a merchant family, but she was ugly and liked wine and sex. After Xu Wanshu learned about this, she was very dissatisfied, so she quarreled with Lord Xu to leave home."

"That day, Xu Wanshu had an accident. The maid and the two Xu servants who went out to find someone went to the temple first. At that time, they saw that Xu Wanshu died strangely. Although the beam was broken and not a new one, Lord Xu went there and told Mrs. Xu that she died of suicide. She was afraid that they would talk nonsense, so she sent them all away."

"This maid also said that Xu Wanshu would not leave the door on weekdays and would go to Lingxiao Poetry Club once a few months. Either Mrs. Xu did not allow her to go out, or she was sick and weak. Her daily preferences were also poetry and essays. Because she was often confined, her legendary essays were the most popular. Mrs. Xu didn't care much about these. She asked her maids to buy new essays almost every half month."

"The subordinates asked carefully. They visited Chongwen Library and two library libraries in Xicheng City. Even a bookstore called "Wuya" in Xicheng City would send new books to the Xu family as soon as they released new books."

When Bo Ruoyou heard this, he raised his head from the rice paper. Lingxiao Poetry Club and the book shop were also a book shop, which made her inference again. At this time, Ning Xiao said again: "The night when Xu Wanshu ran out of the house, Wuya Bookstore sent a new book, but Xu Wanshu had no chance to read it."

Huo Weilou frowned, "That night she left home, and even the Xu family didn't know where she went. How did the murderer know? But did he ask at those bookstores?"

Ning Xiao nodded, "I have sent someone to this Wuya Bookstore. I said that when it was just dark that day, I met the Miss Xu family. I was very surprised at that time. The speech book had been sent to the Xu family. Why did she say that she had come to the shop herself? Xu Wanshu learned that the speech book had been sent, so she left without buying anything. The subordinates of the pastry shop also went to check it out, and the shopkeeper couldn't remember what happened a month ago."

Bo Ruoyou suddenly thought of the dirt placed in the wooden box, could it be pastry crumbs?

Ning Xiao said again: "I also doubted the people in the calligraphy and painting shop, but that night, almost everyone had witnesses, including the person who sent the call book, and someone walked with him."

Huo Weilou thought with a serious face for a moment, "Why is the maid taking care of her every day, are you suspicious?"

Ning Xiao said: "She suspected Mrs. Xu and said that Mrs. Xu treated Xu Wanshu very harshly and cursed her many times that she had died of illness earlier..."

Huo Weilou shook his head without thinking, "It is impossible. If Mrs. Xu hoped that she would die, she would not want to marry her nephew. The Xu family would definitely have a generous dowry to marry her daughter. The merchant family would marry an official daughter, and the face would be glorious. Mrs. Xu would only want Xu Wanshu to make the best use of her. Killing her would be a disaster."

Ning Xiao should have said, "The maid was thinking too simple. She said that when she went to the temple that day, the rope that strangled Xu Wanshu to death was still on the ground. Later, it was taken away by the Xu family. When the clothes that Xu Wanshu wore before his death were burned, they were burned together."

Huo Weilou frowned, and Ning Xiao said again: "According to her, the rope was not a thick hemp rope used by ordinary craftsmen, but very thin. Although it is also made of cotton and linen, it inexplicably gives people a sense of fineness, not like it is used to hang things or tie heavy objects."

Huo Weilou looked at Bo Ruoyou, and Bo Ruoyou also looked at him at this time. The two looked at each other, and Huo Weilou said, "It seems that what you are saying is a little bit of a truth. Since it is a special rope, it may have something to do with the murderer's business."

Thinking of what the carriage said on the carriage on his way back, Huo Wei said: "Bundled paper? Books? Or picture scrolls?"

Ning Xiao's eyes were slightly brighter, "It really fits what the maid said."

Huo Weilou looked at Bo Ruoyou, "It seems that he has a lot to do with Lu Wenhe."

Many small words have been excerpted on the rice paper in front of Bo Ruoyou, but they can only be connected into phrases, but they are difficult to form sentences. Bo Ruoyou hurriedly said: "Before dawn, the people will definitely record all the words on the gold-spreaded paper."

The gold-sprayed paper was torn too fine by Wei Ling, and the pieces of paper accumulated over several months. It was almost impossible to piece together a whole gold-sprayed paper. Therefore, Bo Ruoyou abandoned this idea and later copied only the identified words and sentences. Everyone had their own habits to write. If they could find some unusual words, they could roughly know what Wei Ling wrote.

Huo Weilou nodded, and Ning Xiao said on the side: "The yamen came to report that Feng's maids did mention that Feng Wodan and the young master of the Li family often met, but Feng Wodan was so hiding that she didn't even know if her lady and the young master of the Li family were in communication. In addition, the people who went to the West City Satin Shop found the silk shop where Feng Wodan bought clothes when he fell into the lake last year. At that time, a set of clothes was made, and the customer happened to want it, so they were bought by the shopkeeper of the flower shop. At that time, the servant of the silk shop sent the clothes to the flower shop."

Huo Weilou heard this and said, "No, the one who gave the clothes was a girl, not a servant."

Ning Xiao also looked sad when he heard this, "It was indeed a servant. The shopkeeper even called out the servant who delivered clothes at that time, because there were only embroidery girls in their shop, and all the men were running errands. At that time, the boat was in a hurry. After they found the clothes, they found the servant and ran to deliver clothes. Later, the servant arrived at the boat, handed the clothes to the person on the boat and left."

"Who did he remember it?"

Ning Xiao said that his face darkened, "He said he handed it over to the maids on the boat, and said that the maids on the boat were waiting on the dock."

Bo Ruoyou was still writing, but at this moment he couldn't help but raise his eyes. Li Yuluo said that the person who gave the clothes was a girl from the satin shop, but the person who gave the clothes was a servant. The servant who gave the clothes said that he handed them over to the maid on the boat, but the shopkeeper and Li Yuluo both said that there were no maids on the boat.

Huo Weilou's voice became cold, "A man who pretended to be a maid from a Huafang came out of thin air. After getting on the Huafang, Li Yuluo and the others thought she was from the silk shop."

This statement made Bo Ruoyou's back chill inexplicably. This person was so strange, but everyone didn't care about her when she saw her!

A strong thought popped up in Bo Ruoyou's mind, this person is the murderer!

Thinking that the murderer had been on the same boat with them half a year ago, and seeing Feng Wodan change clothes behind the screen, Bo Ruoyou felt a little scared.

She couldn't help but say, "She got on the boat and found that there was a cinnabar mole on Xu Wanshu's arm. Perhaps she also saw the cinnabar mole on Feng Wodan's body. This person is very likely to be the murderer..."

At this point, she hesitated again, "But Feng Wodan changed his clothes after the screen." She looked at Huo Weilou, "The Marquis should remember that we have been to the boat house, and there is indeed a screen in the northeast corner of it."

Huo Weilou was walking in the hall. At this time, his eyes swept to a shiny sword with a sword hanging on the northwest corner of the house. The candle fire on the northeast corner opposite the sword was now reflected on the sword sheath. His phoenix eyes sank, "Mirror."

A white light flashed in Bo Ruoyou's mind, and she instantly recalled: "There is a dressing table in the northwest corner of the room, and there is a mirror on the dressing table--"

Huo Weilou nodded, "If someone stands on the east side, you can see the mirror reflecting. The door of the room will be opened in the southeast corner. The person who sends clothes cannot stand deep inside the room, and most of them stand near the door. He is very likely to see Feng Wodan changing clothes through the mirror."

Bo Ruoyou's breathing was a little tight. She never expected that she had caught the murderer under such circumstances.

After several days of continuous search, although some clues were found, except for the crime scene, it was not confirmed that the murderer had appeared elsewhere. Now he found such an important link. Bo Ruoyou hurriedly looked at Ning Xiao, "Does the deputy commander ask the maid's appearance?"

"I asked." Ning Xiao nodded, "But the servant said that the maid looked very ordinary. He was in a hurry at that time. It was late again. I only remembered that she was wearing a common pink and coarse jacket and skirt with the lights around her. She didn't remember clearly. My subordinates suspected that she had already targeted the people of the poetry club, so she wandered around the pleasure boat, or just wanted to peek at the women's changing clothes."

It's very ordinary, and Li Yuluo also said this.

The murderer is a young woman with an ordinary appearance that is unrememberable...

This person's face is already vague, and now he has no impression of anyone who has met her. She is so ordinary that she may be everyone who passes by you on the street. Thinking of this, Bo Ruoyou feels both terrible and distressed.

And she even unexpectedly thought that the murderer was a woman.

Seeing that Huo Weilou and Bo Ruoyou were both thinking and silent, he told another bad news, "Chunfenglou has also gone to ask. The day before Feng Wodan's accident, Li Xiuwen did send someone to talk, but the shopkeeper said that there were many literati people coming and going that day, and no one specifically asked Li Xiuwen about it."

The murderer once appeared in the pleasure boat, but there was no trace of the geese passing by. Bo Ruoyou's beautiful eyebrows became tighter and tighter. After a moment, she looked deep and waved this thought out of her mind. There were not enough clues and it was a waste of effort to imagine it. It would be better to do what she is doing well now.

Huo Weilou also said: "I went to the Huafang again and this person happened to have an accident in the Huafang. Perhaps it had something to do with the Huafang. Even if he was not a servant on the Huafang, he knew what the situation was on the Huafang. The Huafang often hosted guests, and the Lingxiao Poetry Club, which can be started with nearby restaurants, calligraphy and painting museums, and the scores selling pens, ink, paper and ink."

"There are many people coming and going from Chunfeng Tower. Although it is impossible to be sure, it has something to do with the scholars." After Huo Wei Tower said this, he looked at the pile of shredded paper in front of Bo Ruoyou. The scholars were related to Lu Wenhe.
To be continued...
