The reborn first wife is a male

Joey nodded. "At that time, it was the ninth day...the ninth day came to report the incident, and my father asked us to go and have a look." After finishing speaking, Qiao Lai looked at Lu Zhongyuan, hesitant to speak.

What I want is that you hesitate to speak, Mao Zhou swept away the sleepiness in the afternoon, and immediately regained his energy.The tone can be called soft-spoken: "You two think about it carefully, but what else is there? Maybe it's a trivial matter, maybe you didn't see it clearly, it doesn't matter."

"No more." Lu Zhongyuan said.

Qiao Lai glanced at Lu Zhongyuan, pursed his lips and shook his head.

Except for Gu Li, everyone present was from a criminal background, so it was obvious that Qiao Lai seemed to have something hidden at a glance.

"Sister-in-law, let's talk about it." An Shaohua said, "There are some things that you don't think have anything to do with the case, but maybe not. Tell us everything you can think of. Even if it's nothing to do, we can only confirm it after we investigate."

Qiao Lai hesitated when he heard the words.Lu Zhongyuan looked at her in surprise, "Did you see something? Tell me quickly."

"I didn't see something. My father told us to go over and said that from today onwards, the Lu family would let me be the head of the family. He also said that after my father remarried, he would give all the business to Huanlang. Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu, enjoys the flowers and walks the birds, entertains her grandchildren, and takes care of her life." Speaking of which, facing the eyes of everyone, Qiao Lai did not rush to argue for himself, "It's more than that, my father didn't mention the continuation at all. The candidate, Er did not say that the entire Lu family had been handed over to others. On the contrary..."

Lu Zhongyuan looked at Qiao Lai with disappointment in his eyes: "Father is... like this, what do you care about is the family power?"

"Do you think what I see in my eyes is the power of the family?" Qiao Lai's eyes turned red, and tears fell down.She took half a step outward with one foot, then stopped abruptly, took a deep breath, lowered her gaze, bowed to the few people, and lowered her head to ask, "Is there anything else to do, sir? If not, Qiao Lai still has some trivial things to do." Do it. Your lord knows, it's troublesome."

"One more thing, when did my sister-in-law order the kitchen to make hangover soup for everyone last night?"

Qiao Lai was taken aback, "Not at all." After finishing speaking, he frowned, "I didn't order hangover soup, but a little girl gave me hangover soup before going to bed. What's wrong, is there something wrong with this hangover soup?"

"Just thank you."

"Master An is polite."

"Sister-in-law, do as you please." An Shaohua returned a gift and sent Qiao Lai away.Turn around and say to Lu Zhongyuan: "Huanlang, you..." You are wrong.Lu Zhongyuan suffered a sudden change. He seemed to be doing well at the moment, but in fact he was just holding on to his breath, and he was already panicked inside.In the eyes of others, what Qiao Lai said pointed to Chu Jiu, but it was a pity that Lu Zhongyuan was upset and didn't understand.

"Master Lu, did your father ever say that?" Mao Zhou interrupted An Shaohua.

"Yes. But is it really important who is in the family? No matter who my father marries, that person is my stepmother. I can see how much my father has suffered for my siblings these years. A man I have to do business and take care of my children. I really can’t understand the hard work without first-hand experience. Many people saw my father’s hard work and wanted to help him find a continuation string. Love is deep and righteous, and I want to marry my father, but my father refused. This time my father decided to remarry. This person—no matter how she came from, I will respect her as my own mother. How can a daughter-in-law be in charge of her parents? Home?" Lu Zhongyuan said, his eyes full of heartache.

An Shaohua exchanged glances with Gao Xinli, and Gao Xin immediately ordered someone to check whether Master Lu had revealed that he would hand over the Lu family to Lu Zhongyuan after Lu Zhongyuan got married.

Mr. Zhao, the former Minister of Criminal Affairs, once said that when a case reaches a dead end, if you study the victim carefully, you may be able to restore the whole incident.So what about the victim in this case?It was before Lu Zhongyuan got engaged that Lu Quan visited "Baby" in Yonganjing, so what exactly is Lu Quan's plan?Could it be that Lu Quan's death was really due to the Lu family's property?

Lu Zhongyuan's servant came over and whispered something to Lu Zhongyuan.Hearing the words, Lu Zhongyuan froze for a moment, with an embarrassing expression on his face, and it took him a while to say the words of apologizing and leaving.An Shaohua asked if he asked someone to make hangover soup, but Lu Zhongyuan didn't know who ordered it, but he drank a bowl and slept well.

After Lu Zhongyuan left, an officer from the prefect of Cangzhou came in and told everyone that after Qiao Lai returned, he moved into the wing room by himself in the name of the new funeral of the master and the filial piety of the young master and wife.Gao Xinli didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the excitement, and he couldn't stop laughing at something that came to his mind.Mao Zhou arranged for someone to invite Wu Zuo back again.An Shaohua ordered someone to call Lu Xiamiao.

While waiting for Lu Xiamiao, An Shaohua expressed his doubts about Chu Jiu.Master Lu died, Chu Jiu accepted it too quickly, she acted too calmly in the face of doubts, like a fighter ready to fight, not like an unidentified prostitute.

Mao Zhou sneered when he heard the words: "Since Mrs. An knows that she is a prostitute, she should have expected her to act like this. The so-called 'actors are ruthless and ruthless' is not groundless."

"But Master Mao also said that Mr. Lu is loyal and well-behaved. How could he be so devoted to a woman of doubtful character that he entrusted the entire Lu family?"

"Master An may not know that a man can say anything in a party."

"What Huanchang said casually, will he redeem the other party after he said it, and then bring him home?" An Shaohua tapped his index finger on the table, and said slowly, "And entrust the other party with the seal of the Lu family's head?"

"But on the other hand, he said in front of his son and daughter-in-law that he would give all his family business to his son?" Gao Xinli continued, "Isn't that the motive?"

Several people glanced at each other, Mao Zhou waved and said, "Don't call Chu Jiu, let's ask her last."

An Shaohua and Gao Xinli also nodded in agreement.Ask everyone first.

Just as he was talking, the magistrate of Cangzhou came to report that Lu Xiamiao had arrived.

Asked about Lu Xiamiao, did Lu Quan say last night that he would give the Lu family to Lu Zhongyuan, Lu Xiamiao said without hesitation: "That's natural, my father has been saying for so many years, when Huanlang and others are alone, He will give the entire Lu family to Huan Lang, and go to do what he likes by himself."

"What did your father like?"

"Embroidery."

"Embroidered screen?"

"Embroidered screens too, my father has been doing a lot of research on embroidery..."

"How much did you pay for the half embroidered screen in your father's study?" Mao Zhou suddenly interjected.

Lu Xiamiao was suddenly interrupted while she was talking, and she was stunned for a long time before she said: "Ah? Ah! That half embroidered screen is very old. When I was young, my father didn't allow me to come to the study. I saw that half embroidered screen."

"Yesterday Lu Zhongyuan got married. When did you come? And when did you come back? When did the settled kitchen make hangover soup?"

"Hangover soup?" Lu Xiamiao frowned, "I didn't order the kitchen to make hangover soup. As for when I would come and leave—my lord doesn't know, my husband's house is just across the wall from Yufu." Lu Xiamiao said Pointing to the west, "My sister and brother grew up together with my husband Yu Shan as childhood sweethearts." He smiled, and then realized that his smile was inappropriate, so he quickly restrained his smile and continued, "So I usually Both the Yu family and the Lu family were busy. I didn’t return home until midnight yesterday. I went to my father’s study before I left. I saw two figures in the study, and I knew my father was still busy. Aunt Hong from the front yard just came over. I asked Aunt Hong to remind my father to rest earlier."

"Who is Aunt Hong?"

"The old servant in the family has been working in the Lu family for more than ten years. She is the second red lady in the kitchen."

Gao Xinli said, "Call Erhong and her daughter over here."

Lu Xiamiao was stunned: "What's wrong?"

"Originally, Erhong took care of this yard. Erhong burned her hands yesterday afternoon, so she handed it over to Chushi to serve tea and rice."

Lu Xiamiao nodded, half understanding.

An Shaohua took advantage of her thinking about other things, and asked in a natural tone: "Then what is the origin of the ninth day?"

"Miss is the Lu family..." Lu Xia Miao hurriedly stopped talking, and looked at An Shaohua very warily, "Chu Jiu is indeed my father's favorite person. Even if my father is gone now, the Lu family will always Raising her, at least let her have no worries about food and clothing, so that she can die in peace, and she will not be wronged by her involuntarily."

What Lu Xiamiao said was categorical, but An Shaohua was at a loss, and things that were supposed to go smoothly didn't make sense anymore.Looking at Mao Zhou and Gao Xinli, they also frown deeply.

The yamen servant came to report, and Wu Zuo came back. It was a coincidence that Wu Zuo happened to come back with the guard who went to Beijing to investigate Lu Quan and Liu Xiaoxiao.Several people sent Lu Xiamiao away, Mao Zhou went to follow Wu for the autopsy, and An Shaohua asked the person who went to check on Liu Xiaoxiao.

The person said that Liu Xiaoxiao had stayed in Chunyi Building for 13 years. It was bought by the owner of Chunyi Building from Ren Yazi 13 years ago. As for where Ren Yazi brought him, it is impossible to test.Last month, when Lu Quan went back to Chunyi Building for the first time, he directly redeemed Liu Xiaoxiao's body.How the two got in touch in private, and why Lu Quan wanted to redeem her, are all unknown.

In addition, there is a little strangeness, Lu Quan only found Ren Yazi after he redeemed Liu Xiaoxiao's body, bought twenty or thirty maids, and put Liu Xiaoxiao, that is, Chujiu, among them.It is indeed unreasonable to say that it is for continued marriage.On the contrary, it is more like trying to whitewash his identity.

Not long after, Mao Zhou came with Wu Zuo.

"The truth is out." Mao Zhou was full of complacency. "The person who killed Lu Quan has been found. Mr. An and Mr. Gao, Mr. Mao will go back to write the case tonight and submit it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Tomorrow, we will hold a banquet in the Cangzhou government office. I hope the two lords will reward you. You have worked hard these two days." , gave a salute to the three present.

An Shaohua, Gu Li, and Gao Xinli looked at each other in blank dismay, all showing puzzled expressions.

Mao Zhou asked Wu Zuo to explain the results of the on-site inspection.

Wu Zuo stepped forward and told about the height and age of the deceased, Qiao Ran, and other information, "The deceased's face was bruised and purple, and there was blood in his mouth. There was no wound on his body." Then he said, "The cause of death of the deceased was poisoning, and the poison was poured by Qi Ran himself. Among the cups of rice wine, there is no poison in the jug, and neither are the other three wine glasses, so the poison was not placed on the wine vessel." After speaking, Wu Zuo took out a set of wine vessels, "This is the same wine vessel as the deceased , every room has it. This set belongs to the Four Gentlemen, and the room of the deceased is the Four Beauties. This kind of wine vessel is a set of four cups in a jug. A full jug is exactly four cups of wine, and there are still three in the jug in the room of the deceased. A glass of wine. The table is full of dishes, and the specially ordered Chengxian wine is not poisonous."

The wine in the jug is not poisonous, only the wine in the cup is poisonous, and the other three of the four cups are not poisonous, which means that the wine was poured by Qi Ran himself, which sounds like suicide.

"In the package of the deceased was half a package of poison and medicine, which was exactly what the deceased had taken. There was also a knife, which was used to kill Lu Quan."

The murder weapon, or the murder weapon that killed Lu Quan?An Shaohua got up and wanted to take a look at the murder weapon, but was stopped by Mao Zhou, "Master An, don't worry, just wait until Wuzuo finishes."

"There are indications that the poison was poisoned by the deceased himself, and he drank the poisoned wine himself, so there is no possibility of coercion." Wu Zuo finished speaking and looked at Mao Zhou.

Mao Zhou raised his head, picked up a folding fan in one hand and rolled a flower, "So, after Qiao Ran killed Lu Quan last night, he realized that he could not escape, so he committed suicide in fear of crime."
