"……Um"

Si Lian nodded, thought for a while and asked,

"When did you and Xiang Ling begin to have skin-to-skin contact?"

Li Wu's dark face was almost bleeding.

"She...she is sixteen this year, we...we just...just...last year...last summer..."

Silian nodded again and asked again,

"When you left...Xiang Ling was naked?"

Li Wu shook his head,

"She...she is wearing..."

Si Lian nodded again, frowned and thought for a long time,

"Have you and Xiang Ling ever said in private who she has good relations with in the house and who she has bad relations with?"

Li Wu thought for a while and said,

"Xiang Ling is just a rough girl, and she is in the madam's yard. As long as she does things honestly, no one will bully her..."

After thinking for a while he said,

"Xiang Ling did say that her mother Kuang, who usually takes care of things, doesn't like her very much and often asks her to do dirty work that others are unwilling to do. I also advised her... I just said that she will do it next year.

You have left the house, there is no need to offend the mother in charge, just ask her to endure it, half a year will pass quickly..."

Si Lian nodded,

"Okay... this matter needs to be investigated in detail. If you are willing to stay here safely, until we find out the case, I will let them not have to tie you up..."

Li Wu hurriedly kowtowed to Silian,

"Mrs. Eight Young Masters, I really didn't kill Xiangling. I...I asked Madam Eight Young Masters to make the decision!"

Si Lian responded,

"Don't worry, our family will never wrongly accuse a good person!"

Immediately when I stepped out, Wang's mother came up and asked,

"Madam, where are we going now?"

Si Lian thought for a while and said,

"Let's go to Xiang Ling's residence and have a look..."

Xiang Ling is a rough girl, and her residence is a wing room for four people. When Si Lian passed by, the servants in the wing room were packing Xiang Ling's things. They all saluted when they saw her coming.

"Mrs. Eighth Young Master..."

Si Lian nodded and asked,

"Which shop is Xiangling?"

Someone pointed to a bed against the east wall,

"This is it..."

Si Lian went over to take a look and saw that the clothes on top were packed into a bag and the bed was rolled up. Someone on the side responded,

"Mrs. Eighth Young Master, these are all Xiangling's things. She...she is dead now. Madam has ordered us to pack up her things and send them to her parents tomorrow..."

Si Lian nodded and asked again,

"Are all her things here?"

The person below responded,

"Mrs. Eighth Young Master, are all the things here?"

Si Lian gave an order,

"Open……"

Someone came over and opened it. There were not many things inside Xiang Ling, a few summer clothes, and a money bag with more than one tael of broken silver in it. I guess it was Xiang Ling's savings, and the rest was nothing!

After Si Lian looked at it, he ordered others,

"Put it away!"

He turned around and came out, thought for a while and said to Mama Wang,

"Mom, I can go back to the city tonight..."

Mother Wang nodded,

"Then please mother, please go back home and look through Xiang Ling's residence to see if there is anything suspicious..."

Mother Wang asked curiously,

"What did you see, Madam?"

Four Lotus Road,

"I just have a vague feeling that there must be something going on here, but I can't tell what's wrong. I have to ask again..."

At that moment, Wang's mother returned to the house overnight. Wang's mother was very skilled and could fly over eaves and walls. She returned to Mou's house without anyone noticing. Si Lian went to see Mrs. Liu again and told her everything Li Wu said.

road,

"Mom, my daughter-in-law was also on the mountain yesterday, and she also saw Li Wu and Xiang Ling.

..."

So he talked about what he saw on the mountain and said,

"When my daughter-in-law saw the two of them, they looked very friendly, and there was no sign of any antagonism. Li Wu didn't carry any ropes with him. My daughter-in-law was 70 to 80% sure that Li Wu was not the murderer..."

"Then...who is the murderer?"

Mrs. Liu also sensed something was wrong, thought about it and asked, Si Lian said,

"Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law wants to see Xiangling's body again..."

After a pause he said,

"My daughter-in-law wants to do an autopsy..."

Mrs. Liu was shocked,

"Do you dare to conduct an autopsy?"

Four Lotus Road,

"This is also the first time for my daughter-in-law, but she has often seen her father perform autopsies since she was a child, and she also knows some autopsy techniques..."

After a pause he said again,

"If the mother-in-law is worried about her daughter-in-law, she can also report it to the official, or ask the widower from the father-in-law's yamen to come over..."

Mrs. Liu waved her hand,

"This matter...we can do it ourselves if we can..."

Si Lian nodded,

"Even so, my daughter-in-law asked someone to prepare things..."

Mrs. Liu nodded,

"Go!"

That night, dozens of candles were lit in the abandoned water cellar where Xiang Ling was parked. Si Lian wore a linen dress and gloves on her hands, but in front of her was Xiang Ling's body that had been brought back from home.

Corpse.

Naturally, Xiangling's parents were unwilling to hand over their daughter's body again. They just said that it was buried in peace. Xiangling died in disgrace, so they should not make this matter more serious.

Someone went to the house and said that Madam wanted to investigate the case. Regardless of Xiangling's parents' pleas, they took the body back and put it back in the abandoned water cellar.

Si Lian only had Cuiqiao with her, but she was not allowed to come in and was only allowed to stay outside. The Liu family and Guan family also each brought two women to stand in the forest. On a midsummer night, this abandoned water

The cellar was in a remote orchard. It was completely silent at this time, and the night wind was blowing. It should have been cool and pleasant, but standing there, Guan could only see the figures of people in the cellar moving around, and from time to time.

There was also cold light reflection, which was caused by the dissecting knife in Si Lian's hand. How could Guan, a lady of a wealthy family, have seen such a scene? She just felt that the night wind was blowing, and the hairs on her back stood up.

My legs are also feeling weak, and I still want to pee!

She glanced at the stern-faced Mrs. Liu next to her, and secretly cursed her homeless man.

"I don't know where the second master ran away, why haven't he come back yet?"

The servant who was looking for Mou Liang came back and reported that the second master and his friends got on the boat and went up the river, but now they don't know where they went!

"If he were here, why would I be here?"

If something happens, man, come on!

Guan was so frightened that she looked at Liu again and asked in a trembling voice,
