In the early morning, the inner house of the Wei Mansion became busy. Mayuko got up habitually early. She woke up before five o'clock. She could not change the habit she had developed since she was a child. She got out of bed lightly, washed up, ran to the kitchen to help make breakfast, and grabbed a
One has to catch this person's taste buds, and Mayuko put her knowledge to use and can even cook Western food. Others like to enjoy life, but she likes to serve others.
Li Guolou was the second to get up. When he woke up, Chen Xiangfang woke up next to him. The two of them enjoyed a good time from the decadent nightlife and transformed into heroic heroines with ideals and morals. They put on flowing brocade and practiced martial arts.
Wearing clothes, we ran to the courtyard to practice Qigong hand in hand. Several other grandmothers would also come out to exercise after three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. Today, it seemed that they had agreed that all the grandmothers in the inner house would stretch their muscles in the courtyard.
The air was fresh, and the charming grandmothers were wearing very few clothes. Some were running and some were boxing. Li Guolou ignored everything around him and concentrated on practicing, relaxing his body, pressing his legs, exhaling, inhaling, and lightly boxing.
There were constant scoldings all around, and beautiful figures kept appearing in front of Li Guolou. Li Guolou had long been accustomed to it, nodded his head with a smile to express approval, and ignored the grandmothers.
Exercising is a routine, and yesterday's craziness is rare. Grandmas also know this truth. If you want to have a harmonious family, you must understand the importance of rules.
With a look from Chen Xiangfang, the other grandmothers knew that Li Guolou finally agreed with their proposition, and they laughed continuously, as if they were mocking Li Guolou for being such a villain and a hypocrite.
Who could tell how angry he was yesterday.
Zheng Lingling also got up early and ran around in the courtyard to cause mischief, using branches to fight with the air as a Kung Fu heroine.
In the morning, the family was having dinner in the dining room. Zhen Yuhuan said softly: "Mike and I are going out together. Don't tell me that you are busy with business."
"Oh;;;;;" Li Guolou looked at Zhen Yuhuan and had many strange ideas in his mind. How should he deal with this powerful woman?
Li Guolou was thinking about how to plot against Zhen Yuhuan. Xie Ma walked in and said, "Master, Ai Hai is here and said there is urgent business."
"Ah!" Li Guolou looked unhappy, but his heart was filled with joy. He got whatever he wanted, and he was finally liberated.
"Mike, I'll go with you." Yelia was so depressed at home that she had already told Li Guolou that she wanted to see the crime scene, and she had waited for the opportunity.
"Oh! Hurry up, hurry up, life is at stake!" Li Guolou picked up two pieces of meat floss bread and a glass of milk to reward Ai Tuozi.
Yelia wanted to lose her temper at first, but when she saw that Li Guolou kept his promise and showed her the scene of the crime, he jumped up happily, hugged Li Guolou and gave her a kiss, regardless of the old lady beside him.
"Mike, you are the best man!" After saying that, Yelia turned around and went back to the room to change clothes. She was Li Guolou's favorite grandma. Li Guolou favored her the most. Only He and Dare to talk to her.
Zhen Yuhuan challenged her. Everyone here knew that Yelia had privileges and no one dared to go against her advice.
Li Guolou still likes to wear casual clothes when going to the crime scene. This makes it easier to move. It doesn't matter if his clothes and pants are dirty. After changing into foreign clothes, Li Guolou first goes to the living room of his outer house to meet Ai Hai and learn about the case. Today is different from the past.
He would not be allowed to handle small cases. Li Guolou was so excited that his whole body was shaking. This was called exciting.
"Mike, I'm going to work first. Come to my house in the afternoon. Don't play tricks!" Zhen Yuhuan said loudly to Li Guolou's back. She was the only one here who dared to talk to Li Guolou like this in front of the servants.
"Oh, I got it! Anita, if I really don't have time, I will ask my subordinates to tell me." Li Guolou didn't even look back. If a case happened, even eight cows wouldn't be able to pull him back.
Yesterday in the middle of the night, Cheng Xiaochun, the fiancée of Prince Li Chenghou and the daughter of Cheng Kunyu, the left minister of household affairs, was killed in her daughter's building. Although Cheng Xiaochun will only be crowned Prince Li's side brother in the future, the nature of this case is too bad.
It alarmed the imperial court. Cheng Xiaochun was killed when he was only fourteen years old. He reported the case to the Criminal Department in the morning. Bao Yiyi first thought of Li Guolou and asked Ai Hai to recruit Li Guolou, who liked to take leave, to solve the case.
Cheng Kunyu, Zuo Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, was a Manchu with a prominent family status. Because Cheng Kunyu had a bad reputation for corruption, he was arranged by the imperial court to retire in the Ministry of Household Affairs. This time, he married Prince Li sincerely and became famous in the capital with his generous wealth and gifts.
When Xiaochun got married, there was a treasure that everyone knew. Chengkunyu had a famous red diamond. It was a fifteen-carat diamond obtained from Punjab, India. This time it was also one of the dowry items. When someone died, the red diamond was stolen, and Li Guo
To solve the case, Lou also needs to recover the stolen goods, which is not easy.
Ai Hai still wanted to eat after eating. Li Guolou rolled his eyes and said: "Ai Hai, don't be greedy, hurry up and leave."
Ai Hai saw Li Guolou walking with the blond foreign girl Yelia. He Yanyan moved his mouth a few times but did not dare to speak out. No one could imagine what Li Guolou would do next.
.
Diao'er Hutong in Zhenglan Banner in the east of the city is located in the palace of Cheng Kunyu, the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Chang Shikuan, the general manager, wanted to stop Yelia, but was scolded by Li Guolou. Who dares not to give him face now!
Entering the mansion, you can see the majestic courtyard of the deep house, and you can hear bursts of crying in the courtyard. Chang Shikuan came to the hall in grief and choked up the details of the case.
After the wedding date was set by Prince Heli Chenghou, Cheng Mansion hung up red lanterns and decorated the house with joy. Cheng Xiaochun lived upstairs with his daughter in the boudoir deep in the compound every day, watched dramas, tried on new clothes, and had fun.
Cheng Kunyu lived the last three days of her daughter's life carefully, and assigned two maids, Dongxue and Qiuju, to serve them every step of the way. As the wedding day approached, Cheng Kunyu invited famous opera troupes to the theater in the compound to make it festive and lively.
After three days of singing, the servants were ordered to form a guard team to patrol the courtyard walls day and night to prevent criminals from entering the courtyard and stealing.
Chang Shikuan cried and said: "Unexpectedly, in the early hours of this morning, Dongxue and Qiuju hurriedly came to report that the young lady was killed above their daughter's building. It was too horrible to watch! I fainted when I heard it;;;;;;" Chang Shikuan said
He stood up, his body started to sway again, as if he was about to faint, and then he said as if to demonstrate his merit: "Captain Li, our escort team did its duty last night, and we didn't even dare to blink an eye. I dare not say that there are any evil people, just
Not even a night owl entered the compound! The murderer of the young lady must be in the compound. After learning about the incident, I immediately ordered people to protect the scene, especially the two maids. The young lady was killed and she
How can the two escape their relationship? I want to enforce the family law! Finally, I went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to report the case."
Li Guolou glanced at him and said, "Let's go to the daughter's building first."
With the support of the general manager Chang Shikuan, Cheng Kunyu, the left minister of the household department, stumbled and led everyone through the twists and turns of corridors and corridors towards the daughter building.
Regardless of Cheng Kunyu's unhappy expression, Li Guolou still walked side by side with Yelia, taking a peek at the architectural layout of this rich man's house. It was no longer on the same level as the buildings of rich families. The majestic buildings, gardens and gardens followed.
The owner walks through the main entrance and has a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery on both sides.
Yelia looked left and right, dragging her feet and walking at the end. Li Guolou turned his head and glared at her angrily, telling her to walk faster.
The daughter's building is located to the right of the owner's inner house. The undulating red walls on the surrounding high ground are very beautiful. The small crescent-shaped arch left on the west wall is connected to the parents' inner house. When the door is closed, the daughter's building is a separate small courtyard, surrounded by sparkling water on the north.
There is a sparkling pool with fluttering willows and jagged rocks. Directly to the south is the garden. If you stand on the daughter's building and look forward, you will have a panoramic view of the beautiful garden pool.
Li Guolou stopped at the small crescent-shaped arch and looked at the door lock and latch. He saw that the keyhole and lock core were intact and there were no signs of prying. He couldn't help but look at Cheng Kunyu and the two maids supporting him.
His wife became the Huang family.
In the dining room downstairs, there were two maids kneeling with frightened faces and trembling bodies. They were Dong Xue and Qiu Ju. There were marks of whipping on their faces. When they saw their master Cheng Kunyu come in, they immediately burst into tears and complained to them.
They did not kill the young lady Cheng Xiaochun. The death of the young lady did not matter to them.
When he saw the two maids, Chang Shikuan, the manager's eyes turned red, and he cursed angrily: "Two dead girls, I told you not to leave the young lady for two days, but what did you two do last night? Why didn't you stay with the young lady well?"
"
The two little maids complained repeatedly, and Mei Xiang said tremblingly: "It's unfair! It was the young lady who asked us to go out to the front yard to watch the show! The young lady was fine when we went out, and I locked the door, and it was still intact when we came back.
.Master, please spare us. Don’t put us in a pig cage.”
Seeing the two maids howling and crying, Li Guolou felt heart-wrenching pain. He wanted to save the lives of the two innocent maids, but he had to find the murderer. The murderer was beside him, and Li Guolou scanned the people around him again.
After dinner last night, Cheng Xiaochun urged the two maids to go outside the gate to listen to the play. Mei Xiang and Qiu Ju did not dare to disobey the manager Chang Shikuan's order at first, but Cheng Xiaochun gave them two silver ingots and said
In the future, the two of them were asked to be the maids of the common room, and they were also asked to lock the door of the small courtyard from the outside, and she would bolt the door from the inside, as a double insurance. Now they were relieved, the two maids were playful after all.
At such a greedy age, they followed the arrangement of Miss Cheng Xiaochun. The show stopped at midnight, and they reluctantly left the stage and hurried back. When they arrived at the small courtyard gate, they were about to take out the key, but saw that the courtyard door was half-blocked.
When they found out that the big lock had been opened and hung on the door nose ring, they couldn't help but be frightened and hurriedly ran to the second floor of the daughter's building where Miss Cheng Xiaochun lived. When they came to the front hall, the two of them looked out and saw
Under the bright wedding candles, Miss Cheng Xiaochun was lying motionless on the floor in front of the dressing table, with a knife stuck in her stomach.
"It's murder, the lady has been killed!" The two maids ran downstairs in fear and rushed to the main building to report to their master.
After listening to the two maids crying and narrating intermittently, Li Guolou looked at Cheng Kunyu next to him and said: "I think, Cheng Shu, your stolen property has not been found, so lynching is useless. I want to take these two maids with me."
Let’s go, it’s not convenient for us to see Miss Cheng Xiaochun’s body, but the female detective must see it, there is no doubt about it, please forgive me.”
"No!" Mrs. Cheng Huang stopped crying and screamed.
"You have to do it even if you don't do it!" Li Guolou scolded, without giving Cheng Kunyu any face, as if telling Cheng Kunyu that the power in his hands was not something that an elderly Manchu minister could compete with.
Cheng Kunyu angrily scolded: "Mother Zhang, please go back and rest, Madam Fu, as long as I'm here."
After sending his wife Cheng Huang away, Cheng Kunyu pointed at Li Guolou's nose and said angrily: "I know you, and you brought foreign devils here to handle the case. Who are you?"
Li Guolou bowed and clasped his fists, saying: "Sir, it's not my fault. This lady is studying forensic medicine. The corpse here is female. Having her come to see Miss Cheng Xiaochun's body will not tarnish your reputation.
"
Li Guolou's lies sounded as if they were true. Yelia was not afraid of seeing the body. It was okay to let Yelia see the body. He also took the opportunity to prevent others from gossiping and plug his own loopholes.
Yelia stared at the Li Guo Tower with approval. Children can be taught, and her usual teachings are not in vain. Yelia is always ready to go upstairs to see the female corpse.
