late night song

Chapter 278 Picking out the gold from the sand
Shi Shi was seriously injured and Ji Huan was still sleeping outside. Princess Helan didn't care whether her son could change his mind, so she had a good sleep for several days due to the current favorable situation.

Although Gu Yuchu's injuries slowly recovered, the worries in his heart continued to increase.

Today, the sun was just right. She was leaning on the deck chair in the yard to bask in the sun, her thoughts wandering.

Gu Fan was holding the soup and sat naturally on the wicker chair beside her without saying anything.

"Sister, it's time to take medicine!"

"Put it there, I'll drink it later." Gu Yuchu replied lazily.

"No, I've deliberately cooled it down. Now it's just right to drink it in one sip. Once it cools down for a while, the medicinal properties will fade away. Hurry up!" After saying that, Gu Fan directly picked up the porcelain bowl and brought it to her mouth while ordering road.

"Okay, okay, I just learned some medical skills, and no matter how much I talk about it, I still look like a ghost!" Gu Yuchu frowned and muttered, and drank it all in one gulp. Gu Fan happily took the porcelain bowl and stuffed another candied fruit into it. In her mouth.

The sweetness of the candied fruit outweighed the bitterness in his mouth, and Gu Yuchu's mood suddenly improved a lot. The two looked at each other and laughed.

This was the first time she showed her face in these days, but it passed by in a flash. Gu Fan quickly noticed and didn't want to waste words to comfort her, so he stopped the pain and took the initiative to chat with her about Shu Yuan's case.

"Sister, what do you think of Shu Yuan's case?"

"There are currently several difficulties in his case. First, both the deceased and the murderer are dead, and there is no evidence of death, which cuts off direct clues; second, when the crime occurred, no witnesses were found; third, there are both real and fake crime scenes. Evidence of Shu Yuan's presence; fourth, the process of the deceased's change of registration has yet to be verified." Without thinking, Gu Yuchu clearly listed the key points of the case, which he had been thinking about in detail for a long time.

"The first three doubts are all related to the case itself. The killer is dead, but his method of committing the crime was clean and neat, and there are no witnesses. It is difficult to find a breakthrough to overturn the case."

"No case is flawless, it's just that we haven't discovered it yet." Gu Yuchu sighed helplessly.

"In my opinion, only by finding out the tricks behind the deceased's relocation can we directly find out the person behind the scenes. What is said about the messenger of embroidered clothes is comparable to the arrow in the dark night. I have been investigating for so long, but I still don't have a clue."

Gu Fan was also worried about Shu Yuan's dilemma, and unconsciously made a few remarks about the embroidered cloth messenger's ability and efficiency in doing things.

"That woman's strength in Yunjing cannot be underestimated. Give them some more time." Although she had the same complaint as Gu Fan in her heart, she still put herself in their shoes and considered their difficulties.

The two were silent for a while, and Gu Fan also felt that he had made a mistake. After all, the Embroidered Clothes Messenger was Ling Buhuo's direct subordinate. This was tantamount to a slap in his face, so he turned to talk about the findings of his investigation in the past few days. .

"I have carefully inspected the cup and flask that Shu Yuan mentioned. The wine is clean, but one side of the cup wall is indeed coated with special Mongolian perspiration powder. However, the cup is only that big in total, and Shu Yuan has a lot of With a solid foundation in martial arts, it was impossible for me to fall asleep all night after just one sip of wine, so I checked the incense burner in the room. There was indeed a very strong ecstasy incense burning in it. The combination of the two was probably the reason for Shu Yuan's attack. "

"The person who set up the trap is also very thoughtful. It takes a lot of effort to find such powerful medicines and incense on the black market. How could a woman in a red mansion have it... The murderer should have given it to her..."

Regarding Shu Yuan's case, the evidence of drugging was far from enough, and Gu Yuchu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

She thought about the day when the murderer appeared, in order not to alert the snake, there was no secret tracking. Now that she thought about it, it was really ill-considered. If she could determine where he was hiding, there might be new clues.

"Dali Temple arranged for the women who visited the house to identify the killer's body. They all confirmed that he was the one who ordered it, and some claimed to have seen a relationship between the deceased and the killer."

Gu Fan saw what she was thinking, so he talked about the news just confirmed by Dali Temple.

"When Qingyu Building reopened, the murderer came to the door specially and spent the two ingots of silver marked by Shu Yuan that he took from the deceased. This also shows that after Shu Yuan went to Qingyu Building, the murderer had contact with the deceased. , but it does not directly prove that he killed the person."

"Shu Yuan entered the Flower House after beating the dusk drum. The curfew that day was at three quarters, and the interval was only one hour. Moreover, people in Qingyu House said that the door of the wing was locked before the curfew, so they didn't look at it. There were people coming and going, so it can be judged that the contact between the deceased and the murderer was after curfew."

"Yunjing Mansion has confirmed that the crime scene in the suburbs is fake, and that the wing room in Qingyu Building is the one. At that time, it was found that there were traces of moss under the feet of the deceased, but Shu Yuan did not. This means that Shu Yuan did not leave the wing room, but the deceased did, and Went outdoors. If the guess is correct, after the deceased fainted Shu Yuan, he took the jade pendant he was wearing as evidence and went to the murderer to ask for a reward. Then he was followed by the murderer until he was killed in the wing, so as to frame Shu Yuan. Yuan, the deep and continuous moss marks formed by friction on the floor of the wing can also prove it." "Then where will they meet? Is it the fake crime scene where the jade pendant was picked up?" Gu Fan asked.

"The author determined that the time of death of the deceased was midnight. Qingyulou's testimony was that the deceased did not leave the room before the curfew. The fake crime scene was ten miles away from Qingyulou. The deceased came and went for an hour. It's not enough at all, and even if there is enough time, it is impossible for a woman to wander out during the curfew without being discovered by the officers and soldiers of the patrol camp. Besides, if the so-called crime scene in the suburbs is really the place where they met, who would be stupid enough to expose themselves, so that The missing jade pendant is purely to confuse the public." Gu Yuchu immediately rejected this speculation.

Gu Fan felt that what she said made sense, thought for a while, and continued to analyze along with her train of thought: "The murderer deliberately threw that jade pendant because the Yunjing Mansion verified that Shu Yuan had not left the wing, and in order to lock down Shu Yuan's suspicion, He fabricated a fake murder scene and chose the outskirts of Liyun Jing City to divert everyone’s attention, so that no one would discover the real meeting place between him and the deceased!”

Gu Yuchu nodded in approval.

"After the incident, the murderer cleaned up the scene. Due to time constraints, he might be discovered immediately, so I guess the place where they met might be near Qingyu Building. This would make it easier for the murderer to do his job and save time."

Gu Fan thought for a while and seemed to think of something.

"Qingyu Tower has a small garden. I checked the terrain and found that the back garden is connected to a restaurant. However, officials from Yunjing Mansion went to investigate and found nothing wrong."

"At that time, the murderer did not show up, and there was a fake crime scene to confuse it. They were just doing a routine thing and the questions were not detailed. But now that the murderer has been identified, even though the person is dead, the restaurant owner and the waiters can go and identify the body. Maybe there will be something special discovered.”

"That makes sense! I'll do it right away!" Gu Fan stood up and was about to leave, but Gu Yuchu grabbed him, obviously he still had something to say.

"There is no rush now. Let me ask you, how is the injury of the woman in the prison?"

"It's about the same as you."

"She is stalling for time now. When her injury improves, she will definitely try her best to escape. Do you have a formula like Ruanjin Powder that can be added to her soup and meals to cut off her chance."

"Isn't drugging a bit despicable?" Gu Fan hesitated and laughed at himself.

"Special circumstances require special means." Gu Yuchu rolled his eyes at him, not understanding his hesitation as a doctor.

"That's what I meant, don't worry." For the sake of his brothers and close friends, the young man completely put aside his principles of practicing medicine to save people, smiled sincerely, and readily agreed.

"Also, how about Shi Shi? Is Ji Huan still staying in Jianghuaiyue?"

"Shi Shi is also gradually recovering. When you were bitten by the murderer, Ji Huan thought you were seeking revenge, so he stayed with Shi Shi every day and took good care of him. Later, when Shi Shi woke up and said that you saved him, he realized It seemed that I might have fallen into a trap, but it was already known all over the city that he ran away from home for his confidante, and he didn't want to take the initiative to go back and admit his mistake, so he opened another wing and hasn't seen Shi Shi for several days."

"As expected." Gu Yuchu sneered.

"But there's something unexpected!" Gu Fan blinked and pretended.

"It's just a clichéd thing like beauty bringing disaster and men being unlucky. What's new about it?"

"It's boring."

Gu Fan was obviously very disappointed with the woman's reaction, so he waved his hand and told the truth: "A few days ago, Ji Huan thought you were seeking revenge and wanted to kill you with his own hands. While taking care of Shi Shi, he let something slip. Old things, do you still remember the murder case of the Postmaster of the Eleven Blackwater Clan? The third carriage driver was killed, and the female killer who pretended to be you was specially arranged by Princess Helan in order to take the opportunity to get rid of you."

"She really hates my mother. Huh! It seems I don't have to feel guilty for plotting against her children."

Gu Yuchu said with a sideways glance, then she thought for a while, approached Gu Fan and said a few words, then the young man smiled slyly, said "Just do it", and then quickly exited the yard.
