Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 154 Gold Dust
Su Yizhao, who was standing beside him, was a little speechless. In fact, she also went to meet Liu Niang because of her reputation.

Coincidentally, she passed the tofu shop that day, and she took a curious look at this long-standing figure in the mansion.

how to say?It looks very distinctive, but it is different from the appearance admired nowadays, quite.
Um!Quite majestic, what Dayunchao appreciates is dignified and delicate, with snow-skinned and beautiful appearance, and the woman is said to be gorgeous, but it is not considered gorgeous, anyway, she is a little different!

However, after a few more glances, the woman is actually quite attractive.

What followed was a few people biting each other. In their mouths, everyone was suspicious, but they couldn't come up with any evidence. They were all trivial matters.

Su Yizhao was impatient to listen to their excuses, so he left the cabin and walked towards Mr. Liu's cabin.

Instead of listening to their nonsense, why don't you go to Mr. Liu's cabin, maybe you can find some clues.

Su Yizhao walked to Master Liu's door. At this moment, Master Liu's body had been carried to Master Du's cabin, but other things remained unchanged, and everything was as it was when the murder happened.

"Seventh Young Master!" The guards at the door were still the guards of the Su family, and when they saw it was their young master, they hurriedly saluted.

"Why is the second brother Zhuo guarding in person? I will buy some food and wine for the brothers later. It's exhausting, everyone has worked hard!"

Su Yizhao smiled and took out two taels of silver from his sleeve, and handed it to Brother Zhuo.

Brother Zhuo was very surprised, and after taking it, he cupped his hands.

"The young master is serious, but it is all a matter of duty, thank you for the reward, young master!"

Brother Zhuo had long thought that this young master from a concubine was a smart person, but he didn't expect that he knew how to control him well.

"Master, do you want to go in and have a look?"

Second Brother Zhuo knew that the Seventh Young Master and the Fourth Master had participated in the settlement of the case just now, and he admired the intelligence of the Seventh Young Master.

"Father's return to the hometown this time is for the rural examination. If it delays the day, what can we do? It's better for everyone to brainstorm and catch the murderer as soon as possible, so as not to delay the trip."

Su Yizhao sighed and said.

"The young master's filial piety is commendable, and the fourth master must be very anxious. But the young master is smart, and he will definitely help Master Yang catch the murderer as soon as possible."

"Master Yang is resourceful and sophisticated, so he can handle this well. It will be a matter of time before the murderer is caught. I'm just helping to run errands."

Su Yizhao said a few polite words to Zhuo's second brother, and then walked into the house.

Master Liu's room is a private room, the layout is the same as that of Su Yizhao's suite, nothing special.

Su Yizhao wandered around the room, stood where Mr. Liu was lying down, and then looked around.

Recalling the posture of Master Liu when he fell to the ground, he realized that he had overlooked one point. The posture of Master Liu at that time was not with his feet facing outwards, but slightly facing the bed.

Looking at the edge of the bed, Su Yizhao sat down on it.After thinking for a while, he stood up again and stood by the bed.

From this point of view, Master Liu was wearing a coat at the time, so there must have been some unexpected situation that caused him to fall off the bed.The reason for falling out of bed must have been an attack.

Looking at the bedding on the bed, it was very messy.

Although Su Yizhao had never been in love in his previous life, he also understood the things between men and women.It was self-evident what Master Liu and my concubine were doing at that time.

After being turned upside down, it is impossible for Mr. Liu to fall asleep immediately.But the murderer entered the house at this time, isn't he afraid that Mr. Liu will find out?
At the time of the incident, Mr. Liu did not shout or ask for help, but he must be sober.Unless the murderer subdued Mr. Liu with one move, how much effort would it take?

Su Yizhao carefully searched the bed, and suddenly found the carved bed frame beside the bed, and found something abnormal.

The bed in this room is a six-post beech canopy bed, the color of red copper, carved with swastika patterns.

Su Yizhao looked closely at the bedpost, and found that the color in a hollow carving was different from other places. It was golden yellow and about the size of a fingernail.

She quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it on that spot.

Su Yizhao rubbed the veil a few times, and the golden color was stained on the veil.

"What is this?" Su Yizhao looked at the golden color on the veil in wonder, it was in the form of powder.

However, in the Dayun Dynasty, the golden color was exclusively used by the emperor, and ordinary people and even officials could not use it.

Su Yizhao immediately thought of gold powder, could it be gold powder?Su Yizhao came closer to smell it, but there was no peculiar smell.

First put away the handkerchief carefully, and Su Yizhao continued to check in the room.

After looking at the rest of the layout one by one, nothing else was found, and the murderer didn't even leave any footprints.

Su Yizhao accidentally glanced at the corner of the window edge, was puzzled, and walked over immediately.

Su Yizhao walked up to the window and took a look, then hurried out of the cabin.

Standing still in front of the window, Su Yizhao glanced behind him, which was near the stern of the ship.Open this window from inside the house, and you can see the blue sky and the distant river view.

Open the window and look in from the outside, the bed is directly opposite.

After closing the window again, Su Yizhao glanced up, and then called Zhuo Erge.

"I don't know who made a hole in the window paper here. Brother Zhuo, take a look and see where it is inside?" Su Yizhao pointed to a place above the window paper.

Brother Zhuo couldn't help raising his eyebrows and said: "Hey! This is hemp paper brushed with tung oil, and it can poke a hole."

This ancient ship also encountered wind and waves, so the window paper must be strong.After Su Yizhao asked Brother Zhuo, his knowledge increased.

Second brother Zhuo bent his body and looked inside from the small hole.

"It's facing the bed, and I can see it clearly!" Brother Zhuo took a closer look, but found that he couldn't see anywhere else, after all, the hole was too small.

Su Yizhao glanced at Zhuo's second brother's height. The guards of the Su Mansion were all trained by their own family from a young age. When they grow up, those who are unqualified will become servants.

The first condition is height.

Brother Zhuo and Su Wenqing are about the same height, so they are already considered tall.

Su Yizhao estimated the height of the voyeur, and found that it was comparable to the murderer.And this hole is still new, obviously just broken not long ago.

After thanking him, Su Yizhao turned around and went to Mr. Yang's cabin. As soon as he entered the room, he heard Su Wenqing's voice.

"According to the students, it's the quickest way to search luggage. Since the man murdered for money, the money must still be on him. If we found the dirt, wouldn't we be sure of the murderer?"

Su Wenqing thinks this method is simple and crude, but it is useful.

"But the passengers on board all disagree. If there is a commotion, we will not have enough manpower to deter us!"

Shopkeeper Zhou was in trouble, and his face was full of sorrow.

Su Yizhao took a look and found that the suspects just now were no longer in the cabin.

Master Yang didn't express his opinion. When he saw Su Yizhao coming in, he said, "Yizhao, did you go to Mr. Liu's cabin? Have you found any clues?"

"Your Excellency has seen the details, and indeed found some clues!"
