Distressed wife

Chapter 338 Death is a Relief (3)
"That's true." Zhang Zong suddenly realized, and quickly smiled naively, "It's my overthinking."

"Master Zhang, did you invite Master Li, Minister of the Household Department?" Mu Ziyan asked, turning her eyes to look at him.

"En." Zhang Zong nodded in response, "I'll be here in about a quarter of an hour."

"Okay, then let's go to this fake crime scene." While speaking, Mu Ziyan did not forget to look at the fake Lian'er who was following behind. Seeing that Shicai was still full of confidence, her proud eyes became a little gloomy at this moment.

Mu Ziyan immediately went up to the second floor and entered the private room. The furnishings inside were very neat, except for a puddle of blood on the floor, there was nothing else, not even the slightest trace of struggle.

Mu Ziyan bent down and stared at the blood for a while, then turned to look at Zhang Zong, "Master Zhang, have you checked the blood carefully?"

"Naturally." Zhang Zong replied affirmatively.

"Look carefully." Mu Ziyan pointed at the pool of blood and said.

Master Hou, Zhang Yi, Zhang Zhi, and Mrs. Hou all came in after them, watching curiously.

Zhang Zong squatted halfway, then carefully looked at the pool of blood, picked up some blood and sniffed it carefully, "That's not right."

"The murderer is very smart." Mu Ziyan once again set his eyes on the fake Lian'er, "Bring the clothes Mr. Li was wearing at that time."

"Yan'er, why don't I order someone to bring the body over?" Zhang Zong felt that his thoughts were completely confused, and now he might as well break the previous case-solving mode and follow Mu Ziyan.

"That's good." Mu Ziyan knew what Zhang Zong meant, did she want her to speak out?

She gave a low laugh and responded readily.

At this time, everyone present couldn't help being interested, they all looked curious and wanted to see what Mu Ziyan could find out.

That fake Lian'er thought highly of herself, and felt that no one would be able to see through her careful plan, so seeing Mu Ziyan's determined expression at this moment, she suddenly became a little nervous.

Mu Ziyan wandered around in the private room unhurriedly, then walked to the opposite wall, raised her hand and tapped lightly, then walked over again, turned her eyes to look at the fake Lian'er, and raised her hand to touch the fake Lian'er. Eyebrows, with a movement of the palm, the wall in front of him was pushed away. It turned out that this place is a secret room, and there is a house inside.

Mu Ziyan looked at the fake Lian'er, "This is the scene of the first murder."

"How could you?" Fake Lian'er looked at Mu Ziyan in disbelief.

Mu Ziyan walked slowly inside, and Zhang Zong also walked in, and saw a pool of blood on the ground inside, but it was similar to the outside, but different.

At this time, Mr. Li, Minister of the Household Department, had already rushed over. After entering, he saw Master Hou was there. No matter how resentful he was, he couldn't break the rules, so he cupped his hands and said, "Master Hou."

"Master Li doesn't have to be like this." Master Hou said in a low voice, "Why don't Master Li go in and have a look."

Mr. Li was obviously taken aback, but when he turned his eyes, he saw that there was a dark room in this private room. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and when he walked in, he saw Mu Ziyan and Zhang Zong standing inside. He had seen Mu Ziyan before, so he said in a low voice, "Master Zhang, Miss Mu."

"Master Li, may I please take a look at it." Mu Ziyan said and handed him a notebook.

After Master Li took it and looked at it, he was stunned again, and looked up at Mu Ziyan, "This is what the child did."

"Then what about these paintings?" Mu Ziyan pointed to the scrolls hanging on the wall and on the desk.

Master Li stepped forward, and after looking at it, his mind flickered, "This...what's the matter?"

At this moment, everyone also entered the room. After seeing the portraits hanging on the wall, they probably understood now. It turns out that Mr. Li has a special liking for Hou Yiyi. Otherwise, how could he see so many portraits in this dark room? Woolen cloth?
"I think Mr. Li has been fond of Sister Yiyi for a long time, but it's a pity that because of his frail body and status, he was afraid that he would not dare to climb high, so he kept hiding his thoughts. Later, he learned about Sister Yiyi and Young Master Zhang. It became more and more depressed." Mu Ziyan looked at Master Li, "Master Li, can your son drink too much?"

Mr. Li knew that he couldn't hide it now, so he nodded and replied, "Hey, it's been a while, but I didn't know it was like this."

Mu Ziyan continued, "This is the place where Mr. Li healed his wounds."

"What?" Master Li looked up at Mu Ziyan, not knowing why.

Mu Ziyan raised her eyes and saw that Hou Yiyi and Su Qinrou had come in, and there were two yamen servants behind Lady Lu carrying the corpse. She said in a low voice, "Since everyone has arrived now, the truth should be revealed."

She then looked at Hou Yiyi, "Sister Yiyi, come here."

"Oh." Hou Yiyi didn't come back to her senses at the moment. Seeing Mu Ziyan calling her, she stepped into the dark room, looked up at the portraits of her hanging on the wall in front of her, and looked at Mu Zi in puzzlement. Yan, "Sister Mu, this is..."

"This is what Mr. Li did." Mu Ziyan said in a low voice.

"Him?" Hou Yiyi was obviously taken aback.

Mu Ziyan then looked at her, "You trust me?"

"I believe it." Hou Yiyi's eyes were full of determination.

"That's good." Mu Ziyan looked at False Lian'er, "Look at it."

She looked at Su Qinrou who was beside her, "Sister Fu Yiyi is lying there."

"Okay." Su Qinrou didn't know what happened here, seeing a smile flashed across Mu Ziyan's eyebrows, she immediately supported Hou Yiyi to lie on the imperial concubine chair.

Mu Ziyan took out the bead left by the fake Lian'er from her bosom, and then looked at Hou Yiyi, "Don't think about anything, concentrate on looking at this bead."

"En." Hou Yiyi replied, staring at the bead gradually his sanity began to slacken.

Mu Ziyan then put away the pillar, motioning others to keep silent, she asked in a low voice, "Do you know where you are now?"

"I don't know." Hou Yiyi's voice seemed a little weak and dissociated.

"Then follow me." Mu Ziyan said softly, "In front of you is your own yard. You have already rested at this moment, but your sleep is restless, and someone is always calling you."

"Well, someone called me, but I can't see who that person is?" Hou Yiyi replied following Mu Ziyan's words.
