When Song Yan talked about the Wu family where the jade shop was opened, Han Mo had a goal in his heart. Their family was a very famous merchant in the capital, and even Mrs. Yang had visited their shops. So when he arrived outside the Wu family, he was not surprised to see their house so big.

“Where is the place where the incident happened?”

The gate of the Wu family was open, and the constable had already guarded the doors. The people in the yard were shrank and went back and forth. Although they were very busy, the tense atmosphere made all this look too silent.

A person who looked like a housekeeper came out. Maybe he didn't recognize Han Mo, but when he saw his exquisite outfit, he became more respectful:

"If the captain says, the incident happened in Liufuzhai, where the old lady lives. Our old lady had just passed away. The old lady was hurt by the old lady's death, but he has always been very healthy, and no one expected her to suddenly..."

After hearing some situations along the way, the group had already walked outside the Liufuzhai Gate. There were more people here, and there were already constables guarding the gate of the courtyard. Everyone in the Wu family gathered outside the door to cry. Only their boss, Wu Pei, was with the constables, guarding the main room.

"Criminal, Dou Yin is here."

As soon as he stepped into the yard, Song Yan pointed at them and signaled.

Han Mo turned his head and looked at it, and saw that Dou Yin had already hurried to the front, and the servant behind him was still holding a box with scratches on his hands.

"Where is the dead?"

"Inside. Go in first."

Han Mo pointed to the black-dirty house and spoke, then gave way out and glanced at the group of men and women outside the yard. He walked into the door until his eyes passed each of them.

The old lady of the Wu family was found lying in a pool of blood early this morning.

When Han Mo entered the door, the body was still lying on the ground in its original position, facing the east, and reached the door with his right hand open, with his eyes open, leaving a blood hole as big as a cup on the back of his head.

Of course the blood has been flowing out at this moment. Both the blood on the ground and the body are all black.

Han Mo looked around the room, and Yu Guang saw that Dou Yin had already stood up and asked, "How is it?"

Dou Yin locked his eyebrows: "From the color of the blood and the stiffness of the corpse, the deceased had been dead for about three hours. Inferred that it should be an accident at the end of Yin or at the beginning of Mao. The cause of death is obvious, because it was injured by a sharp weapon and caused by excessive blood loss."

"Criminal, look at this." At this time, Song Yan picked up a copper candlestick from the corner of the screen and walked over. There was a clear blood on the corner of the candlestick.

Han Qian leaned over and took a look and said, "The place where the candlestick fell was only three feet away from the corpse, and there was a blood stain in the middle. It was obvious that the candlestick was taken over after hurting people. This is strange. The Wu family is so big, so there should be someone to serve the old lady's house at that time. Why didn't anyone hear such a big candlestick rolling down the ground? But it was not until the morning when someone noticed it?"

Han Mo sent Song Yan: "Go to report all the maids and servants who worked in Liufuzhai to be tried. Then check the incense and food they lit in their house."

"Sir! I found a suspicious fragrance in the maid's house on duty!"

At this point, a guard walked in with a small piece of sandalwood: "This incense contains very strong cinnabar."

Han Mo took it in his hand: "That's right. Cinnabar is a critically ill-treated medicine. If it is put too much, it will have the effect of being confused. The murderer made a premeditation in advance and fascinated the maid, so he successfully made the case."

Dou Yin looked at the ground: "But the old lady's hair shirt is neat, she must have gotten up at that time. The reason why she died was not yet dawn, so why did she get up so early?"

Han Mo pondered for a moment and picked up the candlestick that Song Yan picked up before: "The candle in the candlestick is almost burned out. At least there must be a lamp illuminated when the candlestick is smashed down. But when the candlestick is smashed down, the candle will burn out - maybe, it was not because she got up early, or maybe she didn't sleep at all."

Everyone was stunned...

When the maid who was walking in from Song Yan happened to be in trouble when she heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she knelt down in front of Han Mo: "Master Qingtian is clear! The clothes on the old lady, the hair accessories and hairpins on her head, are indeed all dressed yesterday!

"This is what I put on for the old lady myself. Last night, I was on duty. I had to wait for the old lady to go to bed and rest before leaving. But the old lady said she would chant a few pages of scriptures and sent me back to the room first. Later, somehow, after returning to the room, I fell asleep with my eyelids. Later, I didn't know anything!"

Han Mo asked Song Yan to take her to the side for trial, and then said to Yang You: "The murderer can not only place the incense in advance, but also commit the crime in the early morning of several hours later, so he will definitely not be an outsider.

"First rule out the crime of the servants, and take all the deceased's son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren to the yard for interrogation. Then check for any missing items in the room."

Song Yan and Yang You both went out.

Han Mo walked under the corridor and began to pay attention to everyone walking in the yard.

Old Mrs. Wu's three sons were always there. The eldest son Wu Pei's eyes were red and swollen, and he kept doing things inside and outside. The other two sons stood outside the door and explained things to the butlers from time to time.

The other women and their children were also standing scattered outside the courtyard, each of whom was miserable and was interrogated by Song Yan.

Han Mo also saw a woman among them. Although she looked sad, her eyes looked at him from time to time.

He was silent for a moment and called out a constable: "Go and bring her here."

The detective walked to the woman, and the woman hurriedly lowered her head, hesitated for a while, then got up and followed the detective.

"Who are you from Old Lady Wu?" Han Mo asked.

The woman knelt on the ground, unable to control her trembling stern on her body: "I, I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wu family, and Wu Pei's wife Wu Sun."

"When did you know something happened?"

"It was this morning, and I only found out after listening to the servants of Liu Fuzhai this morning."

"As your eldest daughter-in-law, don't you go to your mother-in-law and make reservations for the morning and evening?"

"Of course I'm going! But it's too early this morning, and there's not time yet..."

Han Mo squatted down on the corridor and stared at her white face: "The whole family is busy with sadness, why do you seem to be very scared? What are you shaking?"

After asking this sentence, Sun trembled even more violently.

Han Mo turned his voice cold: "Disarity between you and your mother-in-law?"

Sun could not answer.

"Sir, the two strings of keys in Old Mrs. Wu's room are gone!"

Yang You came to report at this time.

"Key lock?"

Han Mo stood up.

"According to the maid's instructions, they were two strings of keys in the warehouse. The old man of my family passed away, and the Wu family has not yet separated. Therefore, the keys in the warehouse of the Wu family are still in the hands of the old man of Wu, but now they are the only ones missing!"
