"Oh." Fu Mingyu knew that she was nothing and that going down would just cause trouble. "Then you must be careful to protect my sister-in-law."
"Yeah." Zi Yan responded, and wanted to walk in front of Wu Yun'er, but Wu Yun'er held her arm, "Let me do it this time!" She looked at Zi Yan.
Zi Yan raised her eyes and met Wu Yun'er's shining light. She didn't know why, but she nodded inexplicably, "Master, please!"
"Thank you!" Wu Yoona took the lead and walked to the front.
The secret room was about the same size as the room above, with a passage on one side.
Wu Yoona looked at the direction of the passage, which should be the location of the small kitchen.
The distance of the passage was not long. When Wu Yun'er reached the end of the passage, she heard the sound of a shovel hitting rubble from above.
"Cheng Yun? Qi Yunhai? Chen Chen!" Wu Yun'er shouted at the top of her voice at the end of the tunnel.
The sound of the shovel stopped suddenly, "Is there a sound?" Several people obviously heard it...
"You dig here!" Wu Yuner shouted to the top. There was an iron plate above her head that was the same as before, but she just pushed it and her hand was burned.
The iron plate has obviously been slightly deformed after being burned for a long time. Although the fire has been extinguished for a long time, the iron plate is covered under the rubble and the heat has not completely dissipated.
"Is this the eldest mistress?" Cheng Yun asked from above.
"Yes, it's me!" Wu Yuner replied below.
"Where to dig?" Cheng Yun asked again.
"Here!" Zi Yan picked up a stick from somewhere and motioned for Cheng Yun to come behind her. She jumped up with the stick and poked the iron plate a few times, "I'm knocking on the spot!"
"Zi Yan?" Cheng Yun obviously recognized Zi Yan's voice and followed the position where Zi Yan stabbed him.
"Yes, yes, it's me!" Zi Yan poked at the iron plate a few more times, "Have you found it?"
"Found it!" Cheng Yun and Qi Yunhai also determined the location of the purple smoke with Cheng Chen. The three of them unloaded their shovels. After a while, they shoveled away the layer of rubble and coke covering the iron plate.
.
Zi Yan heard the sound of the shovel hitting the iron plate and reminded, "Don't use your hands directly, it will be very hot!"
After listening to Zi Yan's reminder, Cheng Yun and Qi Yunhai wrapped their hands with the hems of their clothes and worked together to open the iron plate. Zi Yan jumped out with a swish and took a big breath, "The following is
The taste is so choking!”
Then Wu Yoona also jumped out, "You are right, there is indeed a secret passage." Her face was dark and her voice was a little hoarse.
Fu Mingyu hurriedly ran out of the house when she heard the noise. As expected, she saw Wu Yun'er and Zi Yan among the rubble and scorched earth in the kitchen. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"This further proves that sister-in-law is innocent." She walked over, handed her handkerchief to Wu Yun'er, wiped the black ash from her face for her, and let Zi Yan wipe her face by herself.
The two of them had only squatted in the tunnel for less than a quarter of an hour, and their faces were already stained a lot.
"I watched Wan Niang enter the kitchen with my own eyes, so I waited in the dark." Qi Yunhai also breathed a sigh of relief, he just said! How could someone escape under his nose? There is a secret passage.
It’s a different story! “No one has been seen coming in or out! I’ll wait until the fire breaks out and we’ll see that there’s no trace of anyone!”
"So the late wife should know that you are following him. When you entered the kitchen, she had not brought the man over yet! Or maybe she had hidden a male body in the kitchen in advance." Fu Mingyu said, "Should we do something else?
Did you find a coroner to conduct an autopsy? The coroner of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion didn't say at all whether the man was burned to death, or whether he died before he was burned to death?"
"That's right!" Qi Yunhai patted his thigh! "The princess said it was very possible. If the man was not dead and was hidden in the kitchen, he should have breath. I didn't notice any breath at the time!"
"It seems I'm going to go find my cousin!" Fu Mingyu said, "call someone to do a new autopsy!"
"Then let me go and invite the eldest son to come here." Cheng Yun said, cupping his fists. Fu Mingyu's eldest brother, who is also Xu Yingying's husband, has just been promoted to deacon of the Ministry of Justice. He must have experienced coroners and prosecutors under him.
"Don't worry, ask your mother-in-law first." Fu Mingyu asked Qi Yunhai to stay here to continue the investigation, while he took Zi Yan and Cheng Yun to the front hall.
After Fu Mingyu told Mrs. Dingguo what everyone found at the fire scene, Mrs. Dingguo thought about it and agreed with Fu Mingyu's idea of inviting Fu Chunlai. Although it is said that family scandals should not be publicized, this is not a family scandal, this is a conspiracy.
And she also believes in the character of the Fu family.
When Fu Chunlai heard that it was Fu Mingyu who was looking for him, he was about to fall asleep, so he quickly got dressed again and followed Cheng Yun to the Dingguo Duke's Mansion.
After hearing Fu Mingyu's explanation of the whole story, Fu Chunlai also understood that the matter was serious and someone had obviously set up a trap for the Qin family.
"Brother, do you know anyone who is reliable?" Fu Mingyu asked.
"Yes!" Fu Chunlai said with certainty, "Do you think your eldest brother has been in the Criminal Department for so long in vain? Wait a moment. I will go find someone for you right now."
After saying that, he wrote a letter in Qin Mansion's pen and ink, asking Cheng Yun to invite people at the address he gave.
After about a moment of burning incense, Cheng Yun brought an old man in, and Fu Chunlai introduced him, "This is Mr. Sun, the old coroner of the Ministry of Punishment. Nowadays, most of the coroners in the Ministry of Punishment are Mr. Sun's disciples." After the introduction,
He said to Mrs. Dingguo Gong, "Madam, don't worry, Mr. Sun is my friend who has been with me for many years and has a very strict mouth. He is also the authority in the entire fraternity world. No matter whether your government is willing to make the autopsy documents public or not, Mr. Sun is willing to help."
When Fu Chunlai said this, Mrs. Dingguo Gong knew something in her heart.
If Duke Dingguo wants to make the autopsy report public, Mr. Sun is willing to testify.
Since he is an authority in the writing world, his words carry full weight. Even the writing from Jingzhao Yin Mansion has to be obeyed! With the blessing of Mr. Sun's reputation, this report from Duke Dingguo's Mansion is obviously the most authoritative.
The body was still there, but it had been moved to a different place for storage. After asking about Mr. Sun's needs, everyone let Mr. Sun go ahead and do it.
Mrs. Dingguo also heard that Fu Mingyu and the others had found a secret passage, and she was furious.
The opponent even dug a tunnel into her house!
"By the way, whose room has the tunnel entrance and exit?" asked Mrs. Dingguo.
She had just finished asking, and Xia Pingting had already checked the servants again. This time she was not simply checking, but she also asked everything about what people were doing before the fire, and whether there were any witnesses.
