I picked up fragments in Tiantian Film and Television

"Dad, Mom, what happened to the bride?"

As soon as Fang Duobing entered, he hurriedly asked He Xiaohui and others.

Zhan Yunfei pointed inside the house, only to see blood all over it, but no human figures or bodies.

"Master, it's so scary. Something happened to the groom last night and his body disappeared. Now only a piece of human skin is left." Li'er said to Fang Duobing with a frightened look on her face.

After Li Er finished speaking, He Xiaofeng also cried, "Xiao Bao, aren't you a criminal detective? You must help me find the murderer this time and seek justice for my husband who died unjustly."

The group entered the bridal chamber.

Looking at the human skin on the bed, Li Lianhua asked He Xiaofeng, "Miss He, how did you determine that this human skin was the groom's?"

"Before this, Wei Lang was injured. When he was applying medicine, I saw this tattoo on his back. Poor Wei Lang, on his wedding night, there was not a single bone left." He Xiaofeng said in tears. "All that was left was this bloody human skin."

He Xiaohui said in a cold voice, "If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body. This groom isn't made of water, how could he just disappear out of thin air?"

After staring at the bed for a while, Fang Duobing said, "The bedding and clothes are intact. There doesn't seem to be any traces of corpse-dissolving water."

Li Lianhua did not answer his question, but looked at He Xiaofeng, "Miss He, do you remember what happened last night?"

"Yesterday evening, after Wei Lang and I finished our wedding ceremony, we returned to the courtyard. Since it was still early, we sat together in the courtyard for a while until the moon rose above the branches, and then we returned to our room." He Xiaofeng said, "After drinking the wedding wine, I felt a little sleepy, so Wei Lang helped me to bed to rest, and I didn't know anything after that. When I woke up, I saw that he had turned into this bloody human skin."

When she finished speaking, Fang Duobing couldn't help but frown, "Are you sleepy after drinking the wedding wine? Auntie, think about it carefully, is there anything else suspicious?"

"Suspicious place?" He Xiaofeng fell into recollection, "I lost my body and reached bliss, ascended to the Jade Capital. When I was half asleep, I seemed to hear Wei Lang reciting these two lines of poetry. I had never heard that Wei Lang liked poetry before."

A line of poetry?

Poetry, human skin…

Li Lianhua stared at the human skin and felt that the tattoo on the skin did not look like an ordinary pattern. It might have some special meaning. "This groom seems a little weird."

"Weird?" He Xiaofeng hesitated.

Looking across the room, Fang Duobing saw the marks on the ground and hurried over. "There are signs of a fight here. Someone must have broken into the bridal chamber last night, but did not hurt my aunt at all."

"What is certain is that no one else was harmed in Tianji Villa," Zhan Yunfei said.

He Xiaohui frowned, "So the murderer came for Wei Qingchou? After killing the person, he took the body away."

"Impossible. After I came back from delivering the treasures last night, the Second Hall Master and his companions even gave me a box of wedding candy." Zhan Yunfei said, "No one else has entered the bridal chamber since then. Otherwise, they would have definitely escaped my sight."

Hearing him say this, Li Lianhua said, "That means Wei Qingchou must have died after Brother Zhan came back. Brother Zhan stayed across from the house the whole night, so the murderer couldn't have entered or exited from the front. There is no entrance to the cliff behind the window. The mechanism of Tianji Hall must be famous. Could it be that there are other mechanisms and secret passages here?"

"This small building is a very ordinary place. There is nothing else about it." He Xiaofeng shook her head.

Fang Duobing said: "The body is gone, but the carved green human skin is left here. If the murderer killed Wei Qingchou for the carved green human skin, why didn't he take the human skin away?"

"Madam, my third sister must have been quite frightened. Why don't we go somewhere else to rest first and leave this place to our sons and others," Fang Zeshi suggested.

Hearing her husband's words, He Xiaohui nodded, "Okay, Li'er, you have been waiting outside the door since last night, so continue to stay and listen to the young master's instructions."

"Yes." Li'er and other maids quickly agreed.

After He Xiaofeng and the others left, Fang Duobing looked at Li Lianhua, "What are you thinking about?"

"Since no one went out the whole night, the murderer and the corpse may not have left at all." Li Lianhua guessed.

Hearing his words, Fang Duobing immediately started searching the room, even searching the box that could not possibly hide anyone.

"Li'er, why are there such big red candles here?" Seeing the red candles on the table, Li Lianhua asked Li'er.

Li Er explained, "These were specially ordered by the Second Hall Master. The Second Hall Master likes luxury in everything. She likes a lively atmosphere and hopes that the new house will be lit with candles for three days and three nights, so she specially ordered these huge red candles. There are still some in the cabinet, come and see."

As he spoke, Li'er opened the cabinet beside him.

"Hey, it's gone. It seems like they've all been burned." Li'er was a little confused.

Seeing the dripping wax in the cabinet, Li Lianhua said, "How could it burn so quickly after only one night of marriage?"

Li'er shook her head, she didn't know either.

Just then, Zhan Yunfei came over with a bottle, "Look at this, there's something in it."

Fang Duobing took it and poured out the contents of the bottle, which contained some fragments.

"what is this?"

"Fragments of a red jade bed." Fang Duobing replied. "My mother got a few pieces of fine red jade a few years ago and made us a bed. It's warm in winter and cool in summer, and it's very useful."

"Ruby bed?"

Hearing these three words, Zhan Yunfei hurried over to the bed, lifted the quilt, touched the stone surface underneath, and said, "This is not red jade, it's wax."

wax?
Fang Duobing said: "The red candles in the cabinet disappeared, and the red candles on the candlesticks are of different lengths. It seems that someone broke the bed and melted the red candles in the room to cover it."

"The broken pieces of red jade should be scattered in every corner of the house," said Li Lianhua.

Glancing at him, Fang Duobing said, "If I'm not mistaken, the body is hidden under Hongyu's bed."

The wax was quickly dug up by the guards, and a body was found underneath.

"Why is it a female corpse?" Fang Duobing was stunned.

"Judging from her hair and dress, she must be a maid at Tianji Villa." Zhan Yunfei said.

Li Er, who was standing by, looked at the corpse and was a little unsure, "This looks like E Yue."

"Eyue?" Fang Duobing was stunned. "Why don't I know her?"

Li Er said, "E Yue just came recently. The young master hasn't been home for a long time, so naturally he doesn't know her." "Just came recently." Li Lianhua muttered, "There are marks on her neck and her cervical vertebra is broken. It's a fatal injury."

Zhan Yunfei squatted beside the corpse. "Such fine marks indicate that this thing must be both tough and capable of killing people. But there is no such thing in the house, or even in Tianji Villa."

After he finished speaking, he saw the silver bracelet on Eyue's hand and wanted to check it, but a rope shot out from it.

"This is the murder weapon."

Seeing the thin rope, which matched the marks on Eyue's neck, Fang Duobing spoke immediately.

Li Lianhua said: "It seems that this woman came prepared."

"So the murderer used something from E-yue's body to kill her."

Hearing Zhan Yunfei's words, Li Lianhua stood up and said, "I'm afraid she wanted to control others, but ended up being controlled by others. However, there were only the Second Hall Master and Wei Qingchou in this room. Unless someone escaped your sight and broke in last night. Otherwise, there is only one possibility..."

Fang Duobing also thought of it, and said at the same time as Li Lianhua, "The groom is not dead at all."

From this, Fang Duobing figured out the key, "He planned all this. He deliberately embroidered the same pattern as his own on the murderer's back, pretending to be murdered, and then ran away."

"That's right." Li Lianhua nodded, "Look, there are wine stains here."

"Why is there a wine stain here?" Fang Duobing looked at the wine stain on the ground, puzzled. "Did someone spill it here on purpose?"

This location is behind the table.

The only possibility for the wine stains was that the person sitting at the table deliberately leaned back and spilled the wine on the floor.

Thinking of this possibility, Zhan Yunfei said, "That is to say, Wei Qingchou knew that there was something wrong with the wine, but he never said anything."

"It is very likely that the drug in the wine was put by Eyue herself. Eyue took a hidden weapon and sneaked into the bridal chamber to attack Wei Qingchou, but she didn't expect that she would be killed by Wei Qingchou." Li Lianhua said.

Zhan Yunfei frowned, "But I was standing guard outside the whole time, how did E Yue get in?"

"If my guess is correct, there are many ceremonies on the wedding night, and naturally there are many people coming and going. Maybe when E Yue came to decorate the bridal chamber, she never left." Li Lianhua speculated.

Fang Duobing said: "Eyue ambushed in the house first, put drugs in the wine, and then waited for an opportunity to attack Wei Qingchou. But after Wei Qingchou returned to the room, he found out the clues, so he played along, pretended to drink and prepare to go to bed, and then killed Eyue."

Li Lianhua picked up the overturned bronze mirror and said, "I was thinking before, if this dressing table was hit during the fight, shouldn't the dressing table frame and the mirror fall down together? Why are the first two able to remain stable, but only this mirror fell down?"

"You mean, this mirror is the tool Wei Qingchou used to kill E Yue?" Fang Duobing asked.

"After Wei Qingchou helped Miss He onto the bed, he pretended to get a mirror to tidy himself up. Eyue thought Wei Qingchou had been drugged, so she prepared to kill her." Li Lianhua speculated on the course of the crime last night, "But Wei Qingchou had actually already noticed Eyue's every move, and when Eyue made her move, he killed her instead."

"So this mirror is the evidence that Wei Qingchou killed Eyue." Li Lianhua said, "However, the marks on the neck of the corpse are very clear. It is obvious that it was a fatal move, proving that the murderer's martial arts skills are definitely not bad. Brother Zhan, are you sure that Wei Qingchou's martial arts skills are very poor?"

Zhan Yunfei nodded, "I have tried his martial arts before. His moves were clumsy and he was timid. His internal strength was also very shallow. He gave in within three or two moves."

"That's strange. Who exactly is Wei Qingchou? Why did Eyue want to kill him?" Fang Duobing frowned. "Also, how did he escape from under Guard Zhan's nose?"

Li Lianhua took Eyue's hairpin off her body and said, "Eyue's hairpin seems to be different from yours. The shape carved on the silver piece seems to have been seen somewhere before."

Li'er touched the hairpin on her head, but she couldn't answer his question.

Fang Duobing, who was standing aside, looked at the hairpin and thought, "This pattern is the same as the one on Xing Ziru's jade pendant. Could it be that E Yue is Xing Ziru's spy? Do they use this pattern to identify their identities?"

"Oh no! E Yue also came here for Luo Mo Tian Bing and went to see Xing Ziru's condition." Li Lianhua said.

The group hurried out of the bridal chamber and prepared to go to the outer courtyard wing, but just as they walked into the courtyard, they ran into the guards who came to report. The leader said to Fang Duobing, "Master, Xing Ziru is missing."

"What's going on? Didn't I tell you to keep a close eye on it?" Fang Duobing was angry.

"It was our subordinates' fault. We had originally sent people to keep an eye on Xing Ziru, but an accident suddenly happened at the bridal chamber, and many people from the villa were attracted here. Xing Ziru took the opportunity to blend into the crowd and disappeared." The guard replied.

Li Lianhua looked at him, "Is there anything wrong with Luo Mo Tian Bing?"

"The secret vault is being watched by Guard Zhan, so it's safe and sound. But not long before Xing Ziru disappeared, he did linger in front of the secret vault for a while. Then he disappeared," the guard replied quickly.

Zhan Yunfei said, "The entrance to the villa is still sealed. This person will definitely not be able to escape from the villa. You should quickly lead people to search everywhere."

"Yes."

The guards left in a hurry.

After they left, Li Lianhua said, "Since E Yue is the person connecting Wei Qingchou and Xing Ziru, let's go see if she has any other clues."

Li'er took them to Eyue's residence.

"Eyue sleeps here." Pointing to a bed, Li'er said to Li Lianhua and the others.

After searching around the house, Li Lianhua took down a bundle from the cabinet. After opening it, she found a book inside, titled Three Hundred Poems.

"Three hundred poems?" Li Lianhua frowned.

Seeing the book, Li Er hurriedly said, "Yes, E Yue often sits in the corner and reads this book."

"When he comes to kill people, he still has the leisure to read books. He has the same elegant hobby as Xing Ziru playing chess." Li Lianhua sighed.

As he said this, he handed the book to Fang Duobing and said, "Take a look, which of the three hundred poems is this?"

Opening the book, Fang Duobing saw the chess manual inside. "Are you kidding me? This is not the Three Hundred Poems." He tore off the cover of the book, revealing the title of Wangyou Qingyue Collection. "This is clearly a chess manual."

"Look, Xing Ziru is playing the chess game of Wangyou Qingyue Collection, and Eyue also has a copy of Wangyou Qingyue Collection. Isn't this a coincidence?" Li Lianhua took out the chess game that the guard had drawn earlier. "The picture of the four fairies in Chengdu Prefecture is indeed like this."

Fang Duobing, who was confused by what he heard, asked, "What do you mean?"

"In this collection, the annotations on the right side of each chess game are exactly 19 rows and 19 columns, which is exactly the same as the horizontal and vertical lines on the chessboard."

After Li Lianhua finished speaking, Fang Duobing hurriedly asked, "You mean, each word corresponds to the intersection position on the chessboard?" (End of this chapter)
