The reborn first wife is a male

An Shaohua picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

It was about to rain, and the sweltering weather suddenly became a bit cooler. "This is not my one-sided statement."

"Oh?" Mao Zhou had a smile on his face, but his voice was sinister, "Really? Mr. An? Why do you think that Qi Ran didn't commit suicide in fear of crime? Does Mr. An know something that Mao doesn't?"

This is meant to be an accusation. "Master Mao finalized the case too quickly. Many people saw some things at the time and thought they were irrelevant. It is not surprising that they only remembered something strange when they heard that Qi Ran had died." An Shaohua had no intention of talking to Mao Zhou. If the relationship gets stalemate, they speak up to defend themselves.

Mao Zhou snorted and started drinking tea.

Gao Xinli said: "Master An, why do you say that Qi Ran will not commit suicide?"

"That day when the maids were serving meals in each room, a son of the Li family asked Qi Ran if he wanted to have dinner together." An Shaohua glanced at the crowd, "Qi Ran said he already has an appointment."

Hearing this, most of the crowd showed a hint of sarcasm, only Li Cun pursed his lips and looked at An Shaohua.An Shaohua gave him a calm expression.

"This...hehehe..." Mao Zhou smiled, "Lord An, forgive Mao for speaking bluntly, I'm afraid this is just an excuse that Qi Ran didn't want to eat with others. It's not a big mistake. Could it be that someone Did you kill him for that?"

"Oh, that's not the motive." An Shaohua acted as if he didn't hear Mao Zhou's sarcasm. "However, someone did hear that Qi Ran made an appointment with him to meet him at the first shift on the night when he took the poison." An Shaohua I intentionally said the four words "Chufen Shifen" slowly, and the words were sharp and full of coldness like a knife's edge.Sure enough, when she said these four words, Chu Jiu raised her head and looked at An Shaohua fiercely, her eyes were full of fear, but she soon calmed down, looked at An Shaohua with a smile, and nodded.Just like an actor in an ordinary banquet.An Shaohua looked at her and narrowed his eyes.

"Even if someone hears that Qi Ran made an appointment to meet someone, it doesn't mean anything. Maybe it's just casual greetings. It's like you people in Yonganjing always say 'we'll have dinner together', but it doesn't matter how many times you look back. We can really eat together."

"No, it's not a random agreement on the scene, but the next meeting agreed during the private meeting between men and women."

Mao Zhou raised his eyebrows, but didn't answer.He was waiting for the people from the Lu family to speak for themselves.Private meetings between men and women?Who is having a private meeting with Qi Ran?Mao Zhou secretly laughed, this An Shaohua didn't know how to speak and read the occasion, this time when Lu Zhongyuan got married, the Lu family threw a big banquet.But most of the guests are students of Yonganjing and the sons of the gentry, and there are no women.If it is said that Qi Ran has a private meeting with the woman, the woman cannot do without the local squires in Cangzhou and relatives of the Lu family, but the Lu family has no distant relatives, only such a family.The ladies and wives of the squire's family don't spend the night in Lu's residence, so the private meeting with Qi Ran——

"Hmph." Mao Zhou waited with his mouth closed, but couldn't help laughing out loud.So he said, "Private meeting for men and women, although there are many guests at the Lu family's banquet in Mr. An, there are not many female guests. Private meeting for men and women...puh haha..."

"Lord Mao," Seeing that all the Lu family members changed their faces, An Shaohua interrupted Mao Zhou's wild imagination, "Be careful!"

"I'm cautious?" Mao Zhou smiled unkindly, "Master An, I'm not the one who said that the Lu family has a private meeting between men and women, why should I be cautious? If you want me to say it, I'm afraid someone is talking nonsense and sensationalizing the public."

Li Cun stood up and walked forward: "Lord Mao, what Master An said is true, Wan Sheng saw it with his own eyes."

"You're everywhere." Mao Zhou didn't speak loudly, but gave Li Cun a hat of sensationalism.

However, Li Cun didn't seem to care much about Mao Zhou's unprovoked responsibilities.He described what he saw by the window in a straightforward manner, but he didn't specifically say that he didn't intend to spy on someone's privacy. After all, no matter whether it was intentional or not, he saw it and said it in public. In Li Cun's opinion, it was indeed not the behavior of a gentleman.However, things should be done urgently, the dead are the most important, and Qi Ran is already dead, so he really shouldn't be buried for the crime of murder that he never committed.

According to Li Cun, when Lu Quan was killed, Qi Ran had a private meeting with Lu Quan's stepmother in the back of the house. His words were excessive and his behavior was presumptuous. The expressions of the people present were not very good.

"You're talking nonsense!" Lu Xia Miao snapped.

Li Cun glanced at her, but did not answer her words, but continued following what he just said.When he said that a cloth bag fell out of Chu Jiu's arms, his eyes flashed and he said, "After all, it was night, so I didn't look at it carefully. I only vaguely remembered that the color of the cloth was strange, half dark and half light." , and at that time Qi Ran picked up the cloth bag and asked, 'What are you doing with a knife?', I'll..."

"No! He didn't..." Chu Jiu exclaimed, and everyone looked different.An Shaohua leaned on the back of the chair with folded arms after hearing the words, wanting to see what else Chu Jiu had to say.Gao Xinli raised his legs, straightened the hem of his clothes, and finally put his hands on his knees, playing with the jade bone fan in his hand.

Chu Shi put a hand on Chu Jiu's shoulder when Chu Jiu just uttered his voice, and squeezed it.Chu Jiu also soon realized that he had said the wrong thing.In the middle of the sentence, I hurriedly changed it: "Master Mao, you have to make the decision for Chujiu. I don't know where Chujiu offended this young master, and he wants to force me to death!"

Mao Zhou lowered his eyes, unwilling to care about these trivial matters.He just wanted to close the case quickly, report it, and end the matter here.Who knows there are always trivial matters.He looked up at Chu Jiu, then at Li Cun.

"On the ninth day of the lunar new year, did you ever meet Qi Ran behind his house on Twelve Nights?"

"Returning to your lord, no! Mr. Qi is a guest, but Chu Jiu is the one who serves the master! If you don't need me to serve tea and water, instead of serving water and vegetables, Mr. Qi may have seen Chu Jiu, and use this Blackmail the master, but Chu Jiu has nothing to do with him!"

"Then where were you in Twelve Nights?"

"..." Chu Jiu was also stunned, and said after a long while: "Chu Jiu was just an ordinary maid at the time, so naturally she was busy in the front and back yards." She lowered her head as she spoke.Lu Xiamiao sat next to Chu Jiu and brought Chu Jiu a glass of water.

An Shaohua looked at Lu Xiamiao and Chu Jiu with dark eyes.

"Li Cun, only you saw this matter..."

"Master Mao." Zhao Baihu, who had been silent all this time, spoke at this moment, "I saw that this woman was dragged by Qi Ran to a secluded place from Lu Quan's study."

"When?" Mao Zhou asked.Why did no one say what they saw after Lu Quan's death, and no one said after Qi Ran's death that he had a certain case here and saw everything all at once?

Zhao Baihu felt miserable in his heart.He did see some things, but it was really inconvenient to say.

It rained all night on the [-]th, and it was very cool in the morning on the [-]th, but it became sweltering again at night on the [-]th.He drank some wine and was so hot that he couldn't fall asleep. He thought of Gu Cheng's demeanor when he played Du Liniang, and his whole body became hot all of a sudden, and he couldn't even lie down.So while everyone was asleep, he hid from people and went towards the direction of the Yangyang courtyard. Unexpectedly, he saw the old maid stumbled out of Lu Quan's study by accident, and ran to a place where there were few people in a panic, and ended up with Qi Ran. Hit a full bosom.When Qi Ran saw the person in his arms, he pulled the old maid to the side.At this time, an old woman came over, Qi Ran let go of him, and the old maid followed the old woman away.Zhao Baihu also left.

This matter is not complicated, but why did I go to Lu Quan's study?

"Zhao is a rough man, and he speaks straight, everyone forgive me." As he spoke, he bowed his hands to the right, without looking at who was sitting on the right. "Mr. Lu got married that day, and it was very lively. After eating and drinking, Mr. Zhao wanted to thank Mr. Lu for his hospitality..." After that, he didn't lie, so his expression was calm.Most of the people here didn't care why he went to Lu Quan's study, so they focused on what he saw.

Only Zhao Jun, looking at his cousin's expression and thinking about what Ling Bing said about Bai Hu's actions in the past two days, felt disturbed for a while.

When Zhao Baihu said that Qi Ran appeared, Chu Jiu let out a cry of grief.Lu Xiamiao also cried.It's just that although the cry was loud on the ninth day of the ninth day, it was pear blossoms with rain.Zhao Baihu was not moved at all, he raised his eyebrows and told what he saw.

Chu Jiu cried and yelled at her injustice, saying that she and Qi Ran hadn't met or talked to Qi Ran on the twelfth day!

"No." Li Cun interrupted her and told what he saw at the pier early on the [-]th.

"Oh! Misunderstood, misunderstood!" Lu Zhongyuan was trying to appease Xia Miao, but he came over to mediate with a smile when he heard the words, "This Mr. Li must have admitted the wrong person. When I returned to Cangzhou, my father left Miss Chujiu behind." Dealing with some things in Yonganjing, and leaving Xiaobei to her orders. Miss Chujiu arrived in Cangzhou at the end of the twelfth day."

Mao Zhou also agreed, and took out the case file, pointing to it and said: "Yes, when it was said that the ninth day of the ninth day was the continuation of strings, we asked the driver according to what the ninth day of the first day said, and the driver said they were the seventh day of the first day. Walking from Yonganjing, who knew there was a delay on the way, and arrived at noon on the twelfth, almost missed the job."

There were witnesses and transcripts, and everyone looked at Li Cun.

Li Cun said slowly: "I also have witnesses. I came with several young masters of the Li family on the morning of the twelfth."

"There are also porters." After An Shaohua finished speaking, he waved to Fugui.

Fugui bowed and stepped back, and brought up a barefoot and skinny man after a while.The porter claimed to be surnamed Zhang, and when An Shaohua asked him a question, he said a lot.Although verbose, it is clear.

"The eighth day of the eighth day, no, the ninth day, the old man who sold the cakes sprained his head that day, and I ate buns. It was the ninth day of the ninth day. At night, when it was dark, a boat came ashore. There was only one person on board. This is the girl in front of you." The porter said, he wanted to use his finger, as if he felt disrespected, he stretched his hand halfway, then retracted it timidly, smiled, and finally pointed his head towards Chu Jiu and Lu Xiamiao. The direction wobbled.

Mao Zhou walked over and pointed out Lu Xiamiao, Xia Miao's maid, the ninth day, and the tenth day one by one, and finally confirmed that it was the ninth day.

The porter said that on the night of Chujiu, Chujiu rented a boat from Yonganjing and came to Cangzhou.Speaking of this, I am still sighing. It costs five taels to charter a boat to cross the river during the day, 15 taels at night, and three taels to stay in a hotel after coming.But if you take the boat again the next morning, you have to cross the river for a penny, and you will lose a day's money for staying in the hotel.

It's a pity that no one present felt sorry for the 15 or [-] silver, and they were all wondering where they went on the ninth day of the day.

Soon the porter solved the problem for them.From the ninth to the twelfth day of the ninth day, the ninth day waited at the ferry from morning till night.

wait?

Who are you waiting for?

"It's a young man." The porter smiled a little shyly, "The two hugged each other as soon as they met."

Mao Zhou took out a portrait from the case file, "Is this the person she picked up?"

The porter shook his head.

Mao Zhou put the portrait on the table, it was burning together, [-]% similar, [-]% vivid.

"It's him, it's him." The porter pointed to another portrait and said.

"This is..." Misplaced, the nameless body that was found dead in the river yesterday was probably misplaced by Wu Zuo and included in the case file.Mao Zhou picked up the portrait and asked again, "Is that him? Can you see it clearly?"

"Back to the old man, I can see clearly! It's him."

Mao Zhou put the portrait on the table, and everyone gathered to look at it.Exclaimed in unison——

"Xiaobei!" Lu Zhongyuan exclaimed.

"Ah!" Lu Xia Miao sat down on the chair and almost slipped, but fortunately the servant girl quickly caught her.

"Brother Nan!" Gao Xinli gave An Shaohua a hand, "This is the Brother Nan who can't be found!"
