Chapter 771: Murder in a Closed Room
The night was deep, and a mist had risen in the small courtyard at some point.
Lu Houying's face was ugly, he looked at the woman in front of him, as if he had seen it somewhere, he thought about it carefully, and finally remembered it.
"Are you a girl from Hongxiang Mansion?"
The woman smiled again: "Naturally, otherwise, how could I see the son knocking on the door of the Hundred Flowers Lady!" β
"What's your name?" Lu Houying's tone was calm, and it seemed common for him to ask this sentence, but he didn't think so in his heart, because the woman in front of him was his prey, so he wanted to have a good time.
The woman smiled, brushed the green silk off her forehead, and said, "Yu'er, everyone calls me my daughter girl." β
Lu Houying nodded, and then asked, "Then Miss Yu'er asked me to come here and told me that you know that the person who knocked on the door was me, what is the purpose?" β
Miss Yu'er glanced up at Lu Houying, and said with a light smile: "The purpose is very simple, naturally I want Lu Gongzi to help me make a name for myself in Hongxiang Building, don't you often do this kind of thing!" β
As soon as he heard Miss Yu'er say this, Lu Houying felt that this woman couldn't stay, so at this time, he immediately sneered and said, "Isn't Miss Yu'er too naΓ―ve, don't you know that those people who threaten me are dead, aren't you afraid of death?" β
Yu'er suddenly looked scared, but then suddenly laughed, and after laughing, she took a step forward, and then said: "How can I not be afraid, it's just that Childe thinks that I am too easy to bully, since I dare to come to see you, I naturally have a backhand." β
"Oh, really?" Lu Houying's tone was cold.
Miss Yu'er nodded: "Of course, if you don't believe it, you can turn around and take a look." β
When Miss Yu'er said this, Lu Houying didn't turn around, because he was here to kill people, so he had ghosts in his heart, and people with ghosts in his heart often doubted the words of others.
He didn't believe what Miss Yu'er said, and he wouldn't look back; Or he didn't dare to turn back, because he was afraid that Yu'er was doing this to find an opportunity to deal with him, and maybe he felt that Yu'er had seen his intentions.
Soon, however, he didn't have to look back, for he heard footsteps.
The footsteps were fast and urgent, and when Lu Houying heard the footsteps, he suddenly rushed towards Miss Yu'er, he was going to kill Miss Yu'er, he felt that only in this way would he be safe.
But just as he rushed over, a knife suddenly blocked his way, and at some point, between him and Miss Yu'er, a person suddenly came in, and that person looked arrogant, and it seemed very frightening in such a night.
Lu Houying missed a move, knowing that he had been fooled, so he hurriedly rushed outside, but as soon as he turned around, Ouyang Xiu's subordinates had already surrounded him, and then, Ouyang Xiu, Hualang Wen Meng, Song Qi, Bao Zheng and others were all gathered in the small courtyard, at this time, Miss Yu'er's face suddenly became worse, she hurriedly ran behind Hualang, and suddenly said in a very soft voice: "Dude, the person who killed the Hundred Flowers Lady is him." β
Hua Lang bowed his head slightly, and smiled at Miss Yu'er: "Miss Yu'er has worked hard, if you weren't willing to sacrifice yourself to lure the enemy tonight, we really don't know how Lu Dao would arrest him!" β
Being praised by Hua Lang like this, Miss Yu'er's cheeks suddenly flushed.
Just when Hua Lang and Miss Yu'er were talking like this, the official had already rushed up and arrested Lu Houying, Lu Houying wanted to struggle, but the more he struggled, the more tightly tied up by the officer, and he had to give up at the end, but although he gave up struggling, his mouth refused to be soft at all, he looked at Ouyang Xiu and the others and scolded: "You guys quickly release Young Master Ben, otherwise Young Master Ben will not spare you." β
Seeing Lu Houying's hard mouth, Yin Wuxian stepped forward and gave him a slap, which was not light, so that Lu Houying suddenly didn't dare to say anything.
Ouyang Xiu thanked Hualang first, and then looked at Lu Houying and said, "Explain why you killed people and how you killed them clearly, otherwise don't blame this mansion for waiting for you!" β
The corners of Lu Houying's mouth were bleeding, but he couldn't wipe it, he stuck out his tongue and wiped the blood from the corner of Tian's mouth, and said, "I want to see my father, I want my father to make decisions for me, why do you arrest me?" β
Seeing that Lu Houying still wanted to quibble at this time, Ouyang Xiu's heart was suddenly angry, he and Fan Zhongyan and others wanted to implement the new policy, but Prime Minister Lu Yijian was always in the middle, and now that his son was in his hands, he could just use it to make a fuss, so when Lu Houying refused to answer the question, he immediately gave a look to a servant, and the servant understood, and stepped forward to give Lu Houying a few slaps.
After the fight, Ouyang Xiu asked again, "Are you willing to confess?" β
Lu Houying snorted coldly: "I won't say it if you kill me, I want to see my father!" β
This made Ouyang Xiu angry, he glanced at Hua Lang a little helplessly, Hua Lang naturally understood what he meant, he stepped forward and took a step, and then said with a smile: "Since you refuse to tell the truth, then let me tell you how you killed people." β
The night was dark, and the willow branches rustled in the abandoned house.
Hanaro touched his chin, and the narration began.
"There have been three murders in a row on Qingjie in the past two years, and they are all murders in a closed room, which makes people quite confused, and I didn't understand how the murderer killed at the beginning, but when I investigated deeply and found that the palm of the Hundred Flowers Lady was broken, I finally figured it out, now let's talk about the killing of the Qingqing girl."
"I wasn't in the capital when the Qingqing girl was killed, so I only heard about many situations from other people's mouths, and the Qingqing girl was also killed in the secret room at that time, because Lord Song insisted that no one had ever entered the Qingqing girl's room, so how did the Qingqing girl get poisoned and how did she fall down the window tower? I guessed that the Oiran Contest was being held in Qingjie at that time, although the young girl had not yet played, but after all, she was curious, and if she was curious, she must lie on the window to watch, if the murderer wanted to kill with poison, he only needed to do his hands and feet at the window, for example, put a poison needle on the edge of the window lattice, as long as the young girl opened the window, she would definitely be poisoned. β
When Hua Lang said this, he glanced at Lu Houying and asked, "Was this what happened at that time?" β
Lu Houying sneered: "But the Qingqing girl fell from the upper floor, can she fall if she is poisoned?" β
When everyone heard Lu Houying ask such a sentence, they suddenly became worried for Hua Lang, at that time, the young girl did fall from the upstairs, but poisoning can't make people fall!
