The root-haired aunt tilted her head and looked at Yu Deqin, her eyes full of love, and the hand she was stroking was replaced by a gentle pat.
Mu Tian lifted his butt off the chair a little, leaned forward and said, "In that case, I want to take a look at their room without messing up their furnishings. Is that convenient?"
"Of course, right, Mom?" Yu Deqin was the first to express his opinion, shaking his hand on his mother's shoulder.
"Oh, it's not inconvenient. Let Qin'er take you there." Aunt Genfa patted her daughter's hand again and said to Mu Tian and Jin Hu.
Jin Hu looked at Mu Tian, pointed at himself, and opened his mouth. He meant to ask Mu Tian: Should I go too?
Mu Tian had already stood up, stepped down from Jin Hu's shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Of course you have to go, so you can report to the prince, what else can you say?" After saying that, he stretched out his hand to signal Yu Deqin in front.
Leading the way, he turned back and blinked at Jin Hu.
Hey, this man is quite a thief, he looks honest and honest. He really knows how to do things in the city! Don’t trust the people in the city. Jin Hu thought, got up and followed him.
This is a typical room for a young couple from a wealthy family. The outside room is a flower hall, with a carved huanghuali screen separating the couches inside. Lingluo's bed tent is still new, but the large furniture has been covered with white cloth.
Cutting off the romance and tenderness that once existed. If there ever was one, Mu Tian thought to himself.
He stood in front of the bed and asked Yu Deqin, who had been following him: "Is this where your brother is dead?" He gestured with his hand the direction of the human body while sleeping.
"Yes, that's true." Yu Deqin said firmly.
"where were you?"
"I, I'm learning to knit in Aunt Zhang's house. Yes, Aunt Zhang is my nanny." Yu Deqin explained calmly.
"Are the things here untouched? After your brother died and was moved to the icehouse."
"We haven't touched it, but my sister-in-law doesn't know." Yu Deqin seemed to want to explain something.
"So, didn't you know immediately that your brother was dead?" Mu Tian asked immediately.
"I don't know either. Anyway, I heard my sister-in-law shouting in the yard that my brother was in trouble. I lost my temper and ran over."
"Then look, is this what it looked like when you came in?" Mu Tian lifted the white cloth covering the bed.
Yu Deqin trembled subconsciously, and then looked intently.
"Yes, that's right."
"you sure?"
"About that. They all have several of the same things, at least two or three. They were only married three months ago." Yu Deqin seemed to be anxious because he couldn't remember clearly. His voice was much higher.
Jin Hu felt that this person did not look like a lady, Yingzi was never in a hurry, and she was still studying martial arts.
Mu Tian smiled at Yu Deqin, as if he was comforting, but also seemed to have other intentions. Then he stretched out his hand to pick up the white cloth, and carefully bent over to cover it, as if someone was sleeping on the bed.
The moment the white cloth was covered, there were three large marks on the silk tent, and they gradually became smaller and smaller, turning into dark traces showing rays of radiation, which made his eyes light up.
Mu Tian put down the white cloth in his hand, took two quick steps back, and looked at the bed.
Yu Delin didn't know why, so he followed Mu Tian back, looked at the bed doubtfully, and then stared at Mu Tian.
"Isn't your bedside against the wall?" In fact, he found something wrong when he entered the room, but he didn't know what was wrong because it was blocked by Lingluo's curtain.
"All the homes on the island are like this. Because of the heavy humidity, the beds are placed away from the wall. In ordinary homes, the beds in small homes are only one and a half feet tall, while in large homes, beds are generally over two feet tall." Yu Deqin explained.
Without listening to her explanation, Mu Tian got into the gap between the head of the bed and the wall, rubbing his body and groping on the wall.
His heart went cold, and he subconsciously grabbed the head of the bed. The head of the bed seemed to sink a little, and there was a clenching sound.
Mu Tian came out of the gap and clapped his hands, "Is your bed removable?" Mu Tian pointed to the frame supporting the Lingluo tent and asked Yu Deqin.
"There are some that can be dismantled, but my brother thought it would get damaged easily if taken apart, so he made it dead at that time. Only the headboard of the bed is alive. It was removed so that it would not block the wind and keep cool in the summer."
"Do you have a good relationship with your sister-in-law? Do you mean close?"
"I can't say whether it's good or bad, but my sister-in-law is a very nice person and doesn't mean anything. Sometimes we make appointments to go out together?"
"Traveling? Where have you been?"
"There are so many places. I have visited all the islands in Dangzi, as well as Shajiabang and Wantoubang. Of course, I have also been to several counties to the west of Dalong Lake."
“Have you ever been to Partridge Island where the fishing boats sing late at the Partridge Festival?”
Yu Deqin hesitated for a moment, then said with a clear face: "I've been there two or three times. I also went there last year. My sister-in-law also went there together."
"Last year? Your brother and she were already engaged by that time, right?"
"You also know this?"
"Guess."
"You guessed it right. They were engaged a year before they got married. So her father, the owner of Pang Island, was very strict with her. He said that an engaged girl should not appear on such occasions, so she asked
Someone sent me a message asking me to go find her that day, so that she can tell Master Pang that she is going with me, and her father will let her go."
"Did you go in the end?"
"I went. But don't mention it. I didn't pay much attention to her after that time. It wasn't until she got married that things got better."
"Why?"
"Don't mention it. As soon as I entered the venue and sang a song that day, she disappeared. I didn't see her until the venue was over. Fortunately, my brother came to see me, otherwise I would have had to go home alone that day.
It turns out that she can accompany me home first, and then my brother will take her home. They are both engaged anyway, so it doesn't matter if it happens sooner or later."
Mu Tian stared at her, images of what might have happened during last year's fishing boat singing night spinning in his mind.
"Two days later, she came to me and gave me ten ocean dollars to compensate me for the money I paid for singing that day. You know, it costs money to sing late at night on a fishing boat. One ocean to sing one song."
Mu Tian felt that she had said enough, so he said, "Do you have plaster at home?"
"Gypsum? No, why would anyone use that thing if they have nothing to do?"
"Candles, candles are fine too. Are there any?" Mu Tian asked again.
"Yes, how many do you want?" Yu Deqin thought this Mr. Mu was very strange. It was dark, and he had just ordered his servants to light the gas lamps. The room was so bright, why did he need candles?
"The more the merrier, the more the merrier. Also, please find a few people to move the bed further out and leave a larger gap at the head of the bed, maybe four or five feet."
"You want to move the bed, but that's not okay. My mother said that everything should be kept as it was when her son was alive. Nothing is allowed to be moved!"
Mu Tian was angry when he heard this, but then he thought about it. This paranoia accidentally protected the crime scene and allowed him to find evidence that even the murderer himself had ignored.
God is really helping me.
While Yu Delin went out to call his servants to find the candle, Mu Tian told Jin Hu what to do after getting the candle, and then went out to look for the hair aunt, because he wanted more confessions to determine who the murderer was.
