Chapter 17 One wave after another

"Exception?" Zhang Dabao thought for a while and shook his head, "There is nothing unusual. It's the same as the grave that was stolen, and there is only a thieves hole there."

"Take me to the grave in Hongyi to take a look."

"Young Master Ninth, a pit was dug up there, and there was nothing to see. Isn't this a waste of time?" Zhang Dabao said in confusion.

"Nothing is certain. Lead the way first."

"yes."

Zhang Dabao could not understand Gumandong's actions in his eyes, but he chose to obey and led her to the grave of the red-clothed one.

As Zhang Dabao said, the grave has become a deep pit, surrounded by messy and piles of weeds.

Gumandong was not discouraged because of this, but stood there looking around the surrounding environment, his eyes falling in the direction of the mountains and forests in the distance, and where the graveswalkers live.

Generally speaking, if you are really chased by someone, you will basically run instinctively towards a place with a large number of people or a complex terrain. If she was suddenly chased by someone, if she had not been escaping from the charity village where the grave sweeper was located, she would have run towards a forest with few people and more cover, using the mountain terrain and trees to cover her body and avoid the pursuit.

Wang Er had said before that he was running towards the forest, but later turned back. Then he found out that the child was shocked and scared himself crazy. That is to say, it was impossible for people to run towards the forest, which was toward the Yizhuang Village. However, the tomb sweeper in the Yizhuang Village did not find any abnormalities. Perhaps the woman was caught before she could reach the place, and she must have struggled on the way, and maybe she could find clues.

Of course, the possibility of forests is not ruled out, but the forests are farther away. In terms of first choice, the charity village is the first to be affected.

After looking around Gumandong, he imagined that it was dark and how he would run away from his life, he must first ensure the safety of his children.

Looking around, I happened to see a pile of weeds on one side. I couldn't help but point to the pile of weeds and asked, "Was this pile of weeds here when the museum was opened before, or at the entrance of the thief?"

Gumandong said as the man had already walked to the pile of grass and squatted down.

"There was a method at the entrance of the cave at that time, which was the means of tomb robbers. They used these grass to block the entrance of the cave to avoid being discovered. It was not uncommon."

"Then have you noticed that there is blood in this grass?" Gumandong held the ball of hair in his hand, pointed to the reddish brown at the base, gathering a little and obviously felt that it was grabbed by a pair of blood-stained hands.

Zhang Dabao hurried over and saw that it was indeed as Gu Mandong said, but there was blood in the grass.

Wang Er was not injured at the time, so the blood definitely could not be his.

Zhang Dabao, who was originally skeptical, felt something was strange now.

After some searching, blood-stained grass leaves were found in the grass not far away nearby. Because the weather was clear these days, the traces were not washed away, so they were left to this moment and were discovered by the two.

After searching again, Zhang Dabao found sporadic blood in the direction to the Yizhuang Village, until the branches at a stepped intersection were slightly messy, leaving a pool of blood, and the clues were broken.

In this way, these evidences have proved that Gumandong’s words are not false. There has indeed been a murder case in this cemetery, not just the unsolved case of Red Clothes.

"Young Master Ninth, what should I do now?" Zhang Dabao asked seriously.

"Wait for the other side to investigate the results, we will also check the forest. It would be good if we can find some clues."

"yes."

Zhang Dabao, who became active, immediately looked at it seriously, but even so, he did not find anything.

At dusk, the tomb guard came to meet with another yamen runner Li Erqiu and reported the situation there. However, in the forest near the river, he found a piece of rag hooked by thorns. The colors were bright and the materials were of excellent quality. It was obviously the fabric on the woman's body, and it was stained with a trace of blood, which was very suspicious.

Although the body has not been found, these things can at least indicate that there have been cases here in the near future. As for the other party's life and death due to blood stains, they are more inclined toward the direction of more dangers.

After getting these clues, the yamen runners returned to the yamen to report to the county magistrate Jia Guanghe, while Gu Mandong returned to the Jiang family.

It was already dark when I came back today, but it was just dark, and it was a little earlier than when I came back two days ago. I accidentally found a familiar voice and hurried into the alley and returned to the Jiang family.

The one who opened the door for her was not someone else, but Yuhuan.

Gumandong frowned.

Could it be that even Yuhuan betrayed her?

Gumandong didn't hope this would be the case, but the figure was obviously Qiuyue.

Today she told her to disguise herself as she stayed in Qingping Garden, but now she came back alone from outside, and the one who opened the door for her was Yuhuan, whom she trusted, which was no wonder she was thinking about it.

Gumandong knocked on the door of the backyard a moment later. The one who opened the door was still Yuhuan, but Qiuyue was gone.

After changing the maid's clothes as before, Gu Mandong returned to Qingping Garden. After washing, he changed his clothes. After dinner, he left Yuhuan in the house to ask questions.

"Yuhuan, did Qiuyue go out today?"

"Miss, Qiuyue has not gone out, she just stayed in the yard to dress up as a lady, and her son-in-law has not gone there, so the lady can rest assured that no one will find that the lady has left the Jiang family secretly."

"Is that so? That's good."

Gumandong heard Yuhuan's hesitation, but she finally lied to her.

She was still too simple. Maybe she thought Qiuyue left for a moment and helped her cover up, but she didn't know that even if it was just a while, it might bring her immeasurable losses.

Forget it. It’s not convenient to talk about Qiuyue to Yuhuan now, so now I can only think that nothing has happened.

However, Gumandong never thought that she did not go to trouble Qiuyue, but she hanged herself that night, leaving only a piece of letter paper that "it's all my fault, I deserve to die." Every word was written in blood, and placed on the bed in her room, hanging herself with tears on her face.

With Qiuyue's death, the entire Jiang Mansion was in a turmoil.

After Jiang Tianluo learned the news, he sent Jiang Hang to investigate and confirmed that the bloody book was indeed Qiu Yue's handwriting, and that the person also committed suicide, so he sent someone to a cemetery in the suburbs for burial.

Jiang Tianluo's confirmation undoubtedly gave the servants endless imagination. Many servants talked about how understanding Qiuyue was and had a good temper. They also said that the lady mentioned in the blood book was obviously Gu Mandong herself, because Qiuyue was the maid she brought in.

But a pretty maid suddenly hanged herself, leaving behind a blood letter. Coupled with the rumors a few days ago, this is great. The storm that had just subsided started again, and the more it spread, it became more and more outrageous. It was even rumored that Qiuyue was forced to death by Gumandong, just because she knew Gumandong's secret, and was silenced.
