This bloody footprint at least proves one thing, that is, the murderer is not a man, at least not a man of this shoe size. After killing someone, he left a bloody footprint in a superfluous way. He must be trying to set the blame on someone.

Who does he want to blame?Shi Yun?

But Shi Yun's shoes were not in this size, otherwise the arbitrary Sergeant Lin would have convicted him long ago.

"Officer Lin, please send someone to call the housekeeper and A Xiu." Qiu Lingxuan clearly remembered that when she arrived, Chief Lin was interrogating the housekeeper. The housekeeper said he didn't see the bloody footprints when he came, ya Huan Axiu said yes, and someone must be lying.

Sergeant Lin was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to his senses, "I remembered when you said that, but the housekeeper hasn't explained what's going on with that bowl of tea yet! Come here..."

"Wait a minute." Shi Xue stopped him, "If Uncle Liu said he was too nervous about Dad and didn't pay attention to the bloody footprints, what do you guys do?"

"This..." Sergeant Lin was as rude as ever, "People don't cry until they see the coffin, so give him fifty slaps first, and he'll take anything, and then just a hundred."

"No, Uncle Liu is a member of the family, and he is too old to take it." Shi Xue disagreed, "Furthermore, Dad's blood flowed from the chest down to the left along the trousers, and the bloody footprints were slightly to the left of the desk. At the back, the butler came in through the main entrance, if you go around the desk to see Dad from the right, you may not be able to see the bloody footprints."

Qiu Lingxuan turned the wheelchair and walked to the right side of the desk. In this position, no bloody footprints could be seen.

Sergeant Lin was in a dilemma: "I can't interrogate, I can't beat me, what do you think should I do?"

Shi Xue thought for a while: "Don't make public about the bloody footprints, go and see the housekeeper's situation before making any plans."

Yesterday, the butler drank tea with drugs or narcotics to prove his innocence, and managed to induce vomiting and was rescued. Because he couldn't explain what happened to the drugs in the tea, he was locked up by Sergeant Lin, and a policeman kept watching him.

"How's he doing? Is there anything unusual?" Sergeant Lin asked the patrolman guarding the gate.

Seeing him, the patrolman immediately put away his cigarette and saluted, "Nothing unusual, just wanting to go out all the time, but how dare I let him go out, I keep watching! No one dares to come and see him."

Before the words finished, the housekeeper opened the door, and said tearfully: "Miss, I really didn't harm the master, the life of my family is given by the master, and the whole family depends on me to support, I just don't Think about yourself and your family, what good will I gain by killing the master? You believe me, believe me, I really did not harm the master. "

Shi Xue quickly helped him up, "Uncle Liu, get up first, I believe you won't do this... But what happened to that bowl of tea, did you brew it yourself? When did you send it there? Did you encounter anything on the way?" people?"

"No, at about 11:[-] in the evening, the master called someone to say that he was a little sleepy, and asked me to make a bowl of refreshing tea, so I went. At that time, everyone was almost asleep, and no one..."

"Then when did you leave? Was there anything unusual about Dad when you left?"

The housekeeper recalled carefully, "No, the master told me to go to bed first, he didn't need me to serve him, so I couldn't help it, so I went back. When I left, the master was fine."

"Hmph—" Sergeant Lin rolled his eyes, "Butler Liu, it's not that I don't believe you, but that your words have too many loopholes. You were the last one to see Master Shi, and you were the first to find out that Master Shi was dead. , has to be suspicious! We also found that..."

"Butler Liu." Seeing Sergeant Lin was about to say something, Qiu Lingxuan hurriedly interrupted him, "Does Uncle usually go to bed so late? What is he doing in the study?"

Qiu Lingxuan has been wanting to ask for a long time, whether it is Yingying's two points or Shi Yun's five points, it is too late. Shi Wensheng is an old man in his seventies, isn't he sleepy?

Uncle Liu looked at Qiu Lingxuan curiously: "Miss Biao, don't you know?"

Qiu Lingxuan's eyes widened, why would I know?Should I know?Am I losing my memory again?

Shi Xue gave her a slightly suspicious look and said, "Dad is getting old, and his eyes will get tired after looking at it for a long time. Sometimes he will ask me to read to him. When I am not around, I will ask you to read to him."

"Hmm... yes, that's right...it's a pity that I wasn't there last night, otherwise something would happen to my uncle. Since my cousin and I are not here, why is my uncle still in the room alone?" Qiu Lingxuan knew that she was covering up a little bluntly, But she really didn't remember it happening.

"It seems to be writing something. As soon as I entered, the master closed the book."

"What about the book?"

Butler Liu hesitated: "This... doesn't seem to be on the table."

Sergeant Lin waved his whip impatiently, and said, "Don't act like it, is there any?"

"This... the little one really doesn't remember." When he helped the master's body up yesterday, there seemed to be only a dagger and Shi Wensheng's usual pen on the table, and he didn't see any books. When Sergeant Lin came, He was immediately identified as the murderer, how could he care about what was on the table? "Sergeant Lin, if you want to know if there is any, go back to the study and check to find out. You don't have to interrogate the villain as a prisoner."

"You—" Sergeant Lin rarely suppressed his anger, "Okay, just wait! We'll see how you argue then!"

In fact, there is no need to wait, Qiu Lingxuan clearly remembered what was going on on the table, and she was just holding on to the last hope that Shi Wensheng would put the book somewhere after she finished writing it, but after Shi Xue searched, she only found some hand-copied Buddhist scriptures , Reading summaries, daily diaries and other things were all written a long time ago.

"Did Dad tell you what you're writing recently?" When Shi Xue asked, Qiu Lingxuan pushed the wheelchair around in the study, not to mention, it was quite fun.

Butler Liu thought about it carefully, "Master seems to have said last Saturday that he wants to write down what he has done in his life, what to say... I will reflect on myself three times a day..."

Shi Xue gave him the Buddhist scriptures and diaries found on the bookshelf, "Do you see these?"

The housekeeper shook his head, "No, the cover of the manuscript that the master used yesterday is wine red."

"Could it be...the murderer took away Dad's manuscript?" Shi Xue pretended to be suspenseful, secretly observing Butler Liu's reaction, "Look, why are there two bloody footprints here, so far away from the window? Could it be that the murderer would fly?"

When the butler saw it, he was puzzled at first, then shocked, and muttered to himself, "No, it can't be a ghost, right? They came to seek revenge? No, it's impossible, there are no ghosts, could it be... a mistake ?”

Seeing that there seemed to be other inside stories, Shi Xue hurriedly asked: "Who are they, who is the ghost?"

"No, no ghost..." Butler Liu shook his head crazily, his craziness seemed to be like that of a cook, "I was talking nonsense."

Shi Xue pressed her step by step, "No, you know, otherwise you wouldn't subconsciously say it."

"Miss, don't ask. It's been so many years. It's impossible. Besides, there are only us on the island. Even if there is a ghost, he can't come in such a big typhoon!" The housekeeper kept shaking his head. Scratching his few hairs, he seemed to remember something bad.

"Who the hell?" Shi Xue asked loudly, not to mention Qiu Lingxuan, even Sergeant Lin was startled.

"Don't ask, don't ask, I won't tell, I swear." After Liu Butler finished speaking, he really didn't say anything.

Qiu Lingxuan winked at Sergeant Lin, aren't you good at extorting confessions by torture?Now it's your turn, why are you so blind.

Unexpectedly, Sergeant Lin thought she was winking at him, and it took him a long time to react, threatening to torture him to extract a confession. Unexpectedly, Butler Liu suddenly became hardened, and he kept beating and scolding without saying a word.

The two policemen fought for a while, but Shi Xue finally couldn't bear it and asked them to stop, "It's fine if he doesn't want to talk, if he wants to say it, say it before the fight, otherwise he won't say it no matter how we beat him." Butler Liu carried away his wounds to heal his wounds, and sent someone down to invite a few people to dinner.

Qiu Lingxuan pushed the wheelchair and found that the left wheel was not moving. She turned her head to look and found a strange mark on the low stool beside her.

On the wall behind Shi Wensheng's desk is a huge Western oil painting. On the right side of the oil painting near the window is a pot of fir tree, more than one meter high. Spot, miraculously, no dust.

Qiu Lingxuan watched for a while, and suddenly heard a heavy bell, and looked up, it was already 12 noon.

"Qing'er, it's time to eat, why don't you leave?" Shi Xue, who had already walked to the door, saw that she hadn't followed, and came back to look for her.

"The wheelchair is broken." Qiu Lingxuan pushed hard, but it still didn't work. Shi Xue also pushed, "It seems to be stuck by something." After squatting down for a long time, it turned out that the left wheel was entangled by wire. Half the time it won't work out.

Shi Xue got up and ordered: "Come here, take Miss Biao to the dining room, and let someone see what's going on later."

The servant obediently replied yes.

The door of the Shi family generally likes to set a high threshold. If Qiu Lingxuan wants to get in and out, she has to trouble someone to carry her. Based on the experience of the past two days, she is not doing well as a cousin under the fence. The faces of the servants all depend on it.But Shi Xue was different. None of the servants dared to shake their faces, and they didn't even dare to show expressions.

The rich young lady is so cool, Qiu Lingxuan sighed.

The dining room was very quiet today, because the first aunt, the second aunt, and Shi Yun were not there, only the third aunt was waiting with her baby in her arms, and it was rare for the child not to cry today.

The third aunt saw that Ran Zhiqing had to be carried in again, so she couldn't help but say a few words: "Miss Cousin is so delicate, she needs to be carried everywhere...You servants are really too, I don't know Hurry up? Are you afraid that my child will be hungry, or that the young lady and cousin will be hungry? I won’t wait next time.”

Qiu Lingxuan didn't want to embarrass Shi Xue, so she struggled to ask the servants to put her down and leave by herself, but Shi Xue didn't agree, and the servants dared not let her go.

Shi Xue didn't seem to be able to hear her pointing at Sang Huai, and said with a smile: "Auntie is too polite, if Bao'er is hungry, Auntie can give him some milk first, we don't mind, when Baoer finishes eating, Auntie just You can eat with us."

The third aunt originally wanted to use the child's hunger to pressure Shi Xue, but Shi Xue said that the child is hungry and you can feed it. Do you have to wait for everyone to come before feeding?It was as if she didn't dare to eat first if Shi Xue didn't come. She didn't even dare to feed the child first. She was short of Shi Xue for no reason. Still not well? It's a pity that such a beautiful girl can only stay in a wheelchair in this life."

"Qing'er will be taken care of by me, so you don't need to worry about it! Auntie should think about how she will spend the rest of her life." Shi Xue said, and picked up Qiu Lingxuan herself. Falling down, "cousin, what are you doing?"

"You just sit here and eat well." Shi Xue comforted her to sit down, and ordered: "Why hasn't the carpenter arrived yet? Lan'er, let me know. If the wheelchair can't be repaired, let them carry Miss Biao, Miss Biao Even if they want to pluck the stars in the sky, they have to lift them up, understand?"

"Yes." Lan'er doubted the effectiveness of these words, after all, Shi Xue was a daughter's family, and she didn't count on Shi's family, but she still followed suit.

Shi Xue just sat down, picked up the bowl and started eating without asking Third Aunt.

The third aunt picked up the chopsticks, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she patted the table and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, but you're good, you can eat when you come, you don't even have a word to say hello, and don't you put me, my aunt, on the table?" In eyes?"

This slap startled the patrolmen who were eating at the next table, and they muttered, "It started again?"

"Eat your meal, why so much nonsense."
