Yuan Yu returned to the government office, and went straight to the study without stopping.Zhong Zhi didn't know where he came from, said something to Yuan Xi, and then withdrew.

Yuan Xi thought about it thoughtfully, and suddenly realized.

Walking quickly into the study, as soon as he entered the study, he found a letter on the table.Picking it up, it was a letter that Sikong Lu handed to her for her to stamp.

It should have written the property distribution of the Sikong family, Yuan Yan looked at the letter and suddenly opened it.It is indeed Sikong Lu's handwriting, it may be that the writing is not stable, and the handwriting is a bit messy.

In addition to the property distribution, there is a last sheet with a few words, "Little girl Sikongsha, please take care of me. When the dust settles, old man, Yu Jiuquan is determined to thank you."

"You thought the matter would be settled, but you didn't know that your painstaking efforts were in vain. I can't bear your worship." Yuan Yu threw the letter on the table and said with some regret.

If she had gone back to her study, she would have seen the letter, but it was already midnight and she didn't notice it.Although it was suspected that Sikong Lu's behavior here was a bit weird, but he did not expect him to say his last words.

If he had seen the letter at that time, maybe Sikong Lu would not have died.If Nie Xun didn't die, maybe this matter would have settled down like this, but now there is an extra body, the murderer will definitely not be able to escape.

As soon as Yuan Yu sat down, He Yan walked in, saw her sitting, approached and saw the letter, and took it too.After reading it carefully, he also sat down, "If death can solve all problems, the most damnable thing is the murderer!"

"Master Sikong suffered for his children, maybe he didn't expect that the murderer would commit another murder." Yuan Yu said, tapping the table lightly with his fingers.

He Yan glanced at her, "You seem to be hiding something."

"Can you see that?"

"Just now you talked to me with confidence, but now you are a little hesitant, which means that you must have some new clues, why don't you tell them?" He Yan folded the letter and put it back on the table intact.

"You and I are indeed right. The murderer is a member of the Sikong clan, but it is still unknown whether the murderer is a man or a woman."

"What do you mean?" He Yao asked in surprise.

"The person who attacked you and Sikong Sha is most likely the murderer, but when Ye Che saw the back, it was a man with a hulking back." Yuan Xi said softly.

He Yan felt his throat growl, and continued in disbelief, "You mean, Jiang Li and Nie Xun have a habit of breaking sleeves?"

"Is it strange?"

"Jiang Li and Nie Xun have both flirted with me. You said they are such good girls. How could they have a habit of breaking their sleeves?" He Yan looked at Yuan Yu suspiciously.Is this just such nonsense that I couldn't think of it?

"There should be no conflict between having this habit and liking women at the same time. If a man is handsome and handsome, like Yuan Ting, there must be many men flocking to him." Yuan Xi said after thinking for a while.

"So, you doubt even Sikong Ye and Sikong Hao? Don't tell me, you doubt even Sikong Shou!!" He Yao was a little hard to accept.

"I already know who the most suspicious person is." Yuan Xi nodded.

"Yes, Sikong Hao?" He Yao thought of Sikong Hao, a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, thin and handsome.If you want to talk about seducing people, out of the three men, only he is the most likely.

"Sikong Hao's figure doesn't match that of the man that day." Yuan Xi said with his hand on his chin.

He Yao immediately thought of Sikong Shou again. Sikong Shou was also not tall, and he was drunk in the gentle country all year round, and he was withered and weak.No matter how you think about it, it's not him.What's more, if these three men are really the ones, it means that one of the three loves to wear face powder. He Yan couldn't help shivering at the thought of a big man wearing face powder.

Since two are excluded, the next one is easy to guess.

"It's Sikong Ye." He Yan said.

"Sikong Ye is the eldest son of Sikong Lu, the number one heir. If he was the one who killed Jiang Li, it would be easy to move the corpse. Killing Nie Xun is even easier. Now there is only one question I can't figure out. What is it? It disappeared in the secret room. His size may not be able to get out of the skylight at all."

"Have you met Sikong Ye? Impossible! Sikong Ye is far away in Yunnan! You told me this." He Yao felt that something had been shattered in his head, and he needed time to digest it.

"No, he didn't leave the city at all." Yuan Xi threw out a sentence.

"You are kidding?"

"How much time do I have to joke with you? Sikong Ye returned to the mansion a few years ago to celebrate the New Year, but he still didn't leave. He was supposed to leave Ping Anjing ten days ago. Records, there is no proof that he left Beijing at all!" Yuan Yu said coldly, and stood up.

"But he's not in the Sikong Mansion either. Do you suspect that he's hiding and acting in the dark?"

"His father, Sikong Lu, passed away this morning, and his family must have sent someone to Yunnan to bring him back home. He is still in Ping'an, knowing that his father passed away but he cannot return home. He must be in a moody mood. Maybe something will happen. "

"Could it be that Master Sikong doesn't want to clear up Sikongsha's grievances, but instead, wants to take the blame for Sikong Ye?"

"Sikongye is the eldest son, and Sikonglu may just not want Sikongye to do evil again, and wants to warn him with his own death." Yuan Xi couldn't help looking at the letter, picked it up, and stuffed it in his sleeve.

Said to He Yan, "It seems that I, the magistrate, have to go to pay my condolences, the local gentry."

He Yao hurriedly stood up and wanted to accompany her, but was rejected by Yuan Yu, "You have already been there, and if you go again, it will only make Sikong's family feel disgusted. In this way, you take Ye Che and other arrests to search the whole city. Anyone who has seen Sikong Ye should ask an artist to draw his appearance, pay attention to one thing, this person should be tall, with a strong back, very easy to identify, and he is likely to have strong martial arts, if you find it, don't act rashly. Send someone to notify me immediately .”

He Yao couldn't refuse, so he had to obey her words, let Ye Che order to go down immediately, and led people out of the yamen.

Yuan Yu also went out of the mansion and went straight to Sikong Mansion.It's already night, and the Sikong Mansion is still brightly lit. Tonight is the first night that Master Sikong left.

Yuan Yu entered the gate of the mansion, picked up a white gauze garment from the servants, got on the boat, walked to the mourning hall, and saw Mrs. Zhang sitting in a chair in a daze.

Sikong Li, Sikong Xin, Sikong Hao knelt on the left, Sikong Rui and Sikong Sha knelt on the right.

The mourning hall was quiet, there was no sound, only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the paper money. In front of the hall stood two life-sized paper-wrapped figures, showing strange smiles.

Yuan Xi glanced at the left side and then at the right side.Fortunately, nothing happened.

After burning a stick of incense, Yuan Yan silently looked at the coffin placed behind, for a long time, before letting out a sigh.

Mrs. Zhang didn't salute anyone, and Yuan Yu didn't mind, after all, no one would be able to stand this matter on anyone.

Sikong Li and Sikong Xin responded to Yuan Xie, although he did not speak, tears were already falling.

Sikong Hao looked up at Yuan Yu, and softly said to her, "When will the matter end?"

Yuan Yu squatted down, Sikong Hao was younger than Yuan Ting after all, he was still a child, maybe he had just lost his father, which made him look very sad, it was real sadness, although he didn't cry in front of Yuan Yu, But he dared not look her directly in the eyes.

Yuan Xi patted his hand gently to show comfort.

"Soon." Yuan Xi said, standing up.

Yuan Xi walked up to Sikong Sha again, wanting to hand over the letter to her, but Sikong Sha didn't raise his head, and burned paper money one by one.

She had no choice but to squat down and look at Sikong Sha.It took a long time for Sikong Sha to raise his head, his face was flushed, his eyes were blinking, a tear fell on the paper money, and then he lowered his head again.

Yuan Yu finally did not give her the letter, walked out of the mourning hall, and said to the servants, "Can you show me Sikong Xiao?"

The servant immediately nodded and bowed to lead the way ahead.

Walking in the backyard, suddenly, Yuan Yu heard a meowing sound, and the servant immediately said to her, "Don't mind, I don't know what happened these two days. There is always a cat meowing, but I can't find where it is." .Surprised you."

Yuan Xi nodded with a smile, and looked at the courtyard not far away.The servants introduced the layout of the backyard to Yuan Xie. Several young masters and ladies are all independent courtyards with luxurious decorations. Only Miss Sikongxiao lives in the corner in a simple and rough way.

After walking for not long, they arrived at Sikong Xiao's house.

Yuan Yu asked, "Does Miss Sikong Xiao often get sick?"

"No, Miss Xiao is just weak. She seldom faints. She was found to have passed out in the room this morning, and she hasn't woken up yet. Others say it's an illness. I think it's like being drugged. "

"Oh? Who will drug Miss Xiao? I heard that she has nothing to do with the world."

"That's right, but people from the government said today that they would invite Miss Xiao to testify about Miss Sha's actions last night. This morning, Miss Sha ran out of the mansion in a hurry, and many people saw it. Then Miss Xiao was discovered .”

"Oh? What you said is interesting. Don't you just say Sikong Sha's hands?" Yuan Yan smiled at the servants.

"My lord doesn't know. Everyone in the house now says that Miss Sha is a murderer, and even the madam dare not provoke her. Miss Sha likes to fight, who dares to say more, we are servants."

"Which room are you a servant?" Yuan Xi asked with raised eyebrows.

"Hey, I am. I'm here to help in the mansion. You are busy." The servant left in a hurry.

Yuan Xi sneered a few times, and walked to Si Kongxiao's room.

Sikongxiao's house is as simple as He Yan said, but the bowls for cat and dog food are very expensive.It's not wrong to say that she is a lady, she can't walk out of the boudoir in three steps.

Yuan Xi picked up the powder and smelled it, then threw it aside in disgust.Picking up Sikong Xiao's arms, he really didn't find Shou Gongsha.She is a girl in a boudoir, why is she not a virgin?

Yuan Xi pondered for a while, saw her hairpin, took it off, and found that it was just a piece of wood, then went to look through her dressing table, the most expensive one was a step shaker.

Is this the murderer?How cumbersome is it to kill people with walking steps?

He went to the medicine pot where Si Kongxiao drank the medicine, the medicine in it hadn't been changed yet, Yuan Xie poured some, pointed it with his little finger, and took a sip.

After waiting for a while, nothing unusual was seen.Explain, it should not be drugged.

Because there was no food left in her room, it should be that the cook hadn't brought it yet.Since the three meals are regular, it is most likely that she is really sick.

"Is there any extension doctor for diagnosis and treatment?" Yuan Xi greeted the maid at the door.

"Yes, Miss Xiao's doctor is fixed. The doctor came and said that Miss Xiao's old illness has relapsed and cannot be cured. Now she is suddenly in a coma and may not wake up for a while. The doctor said that she will go back and prepare medicinal materials. Some precious herbs are still available. Going to find it. Probably won't come for a while."

This is really bad, it's really time for him to be in a coma, Sikong Sha has no one to testify, and he was charged with drugging.If there are more lives, if Sikong Sha is not arrested, I'm afraid it will cause public anger.

It seems that Miss Sikong is really unpopular.Yuan Xi couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

However, who asked her to check it out?Don't try to escape her eyes with any tricks.

"Miss Xiao, do you have a cat?"

"It's a wild cat. I don't know where it came from. It comes to Ms. Xiao's place every day to look for food, and when it's full, it will take some away. It doesn't count as Ms. Xiao's raising."

After listening to Yuan Yu, she thought about the whole case again, and then resumed her confident attitude, and the matter was clear.

Thinking about it carefully, this case may end up being far less peaceful than Sikong Lu imagined.
