Chapter 171
As for the cousin, she is still a cousin, but people like Mr. Pei Shijiu have a common problem like many men. Although he regards this cousin as a younger sister, but because he can't respond to the other party's feelings, he can't help but keep a little bit in his heart. Guilt, in some ways, condones a lot.

Let's say that Mr. Pei Nineteen came to Cui's house to ask for marriage three days ago, and he immediately provoked Mr. Li. Although Mr. Li was in the temple, although this guy was a demon king, he was not an idiot. Not everyone is capable of this demon king. That's right, all the information about Mr. Pei Nineteen was quickly sent to him by the dog-legged little four. In Mr. Li's heart, since Mr. Pei Nineteen planned to rob him of a woman, he would give it to Mr. Pei. The nineteenth son and several women are so entangled with him that he can't get away. See if he still has time to rob Dou Zihan from him?
This aunt and cousin is ready-made, not only that, but Mr. Li San has always been unscrupulous, and he also found out several confidante of Mr. Pei Shijiu before. Most of these confidante are women from brothels. It's not the kind of romantic wanderer, but most of the literary and elegant people go to these places, just to chat and appreciate each other's talents, and nothing has happened to make them popular.

But Mr. Li San felt that the aunt and cousin alone were not enough, so he gave these confidantes and other women who had ties to Mr. Pei Nineteen to coerce and lure him. Xiao Si used various methods in private, the purpose was to It made Young Master Pei Nineteen at a loss.

The cousin of Mr. Pei Shijiu's aunt came to Pei's house the day after Mr. Pei Shijiu proposed marriage to Cui's family. Although Mr. Pei Shijiu was very troubled by this cousin, he still couldn't drive his cousin away. Going home, so this aunt and cousin stayed at Pei's house. Coincidentally, the guest room in the eighth room was not far from Miss Pei Shiwu's yard, just separated by a bamboo forest.

This aunt stayed here for a day, that is, today, coincides with Mrs. Pei's birthday, Dou Zihan also came to Pei's house, this aunt wanted to meet Dou Zihan in private, and sent her maid to send a message .

But this maid was not familiar with Dou Zihan and Fourth Miss Cui at all, she only heard that someone from Cui's family sent the message to Fourth Miss Cui by mistake.

At first Miss Cui didn't understand the message when she just received the message, but later she heard the servant girl mentioned Mr. Pei Nineteen vaguely. Although she knew in her heart that this maid had found the wrong person, Fourth Miss Cui understood. I hurt myself, otherwise, the unlucky one might become Dou Zihan.

Miss Cui Si had selfish intentions, she wished that the marriage between Young Master Pei Nineteen and Dou Zihan would not work out, so she found an excuse at the banquet and came to the appointment instead of Dou Zihan, planning to meet the aunt of Young Master Pei Nineteen Cousin, anyway, is malicious, no matter what, she can't make this marriage a success, but who would have thought that as soon as she walked to the edge of the bamboo forest, she ran into someone head-on, and then she met a cold look, and then The person passes out, and when he wakes up, he becomes a murderer.

"Young Master Nineteen's distant cousin? Who is she?" Dou Zihan became more and more strange.At this time, he did not put himself in the position of a rival in love at all.

"You don't even know what I said, Mr. Murong, you can ask the girl's personal servant girl, she is the one who asked me out, so you can know that the minnv did not lie. When the minnv just arrived at the small bamboo forest, she ran into a mother. The dressed woman was then knocked out by her, and after waking up, she went to Miss Pei Shiwu's room, saw the lord, and asked the lord to look into it and return the girl's innocence."

"Go and find out if this is the case? Bring that girl and her maid to me." Murong Yue ordered the people around her to say that he suddenly became interested, and he is not afraid of many things to investigate. What I'm afraid of is that there is nothing to investigate. Fourth Miss Cui must not dare to lie now. Just like what Dou Zihan thinks, Murong Yue doesn't think Fourth Miss Cui is the real murderer. In his opinion, Fourth Miss Cui hasn't killed anyone yet. guts.

The people under Murong Yue went to look for the cousin of the nineteenth son, Dou Zihan glanced at Miss Cui Si, still a little puzzled, why the cousin of the nineteenth son wanted to ask Miss Cui Si, she always felt that this matter How come something sounds wrong.But thinking that the cousin of Mr. Pei Nineteen will come over soon, Miss Cui must not have the guts to lie in front of Mr. Murong!

Dou Zihan stopped talking to Miss Cui Si and checked the room again. At this moment, he suddenly thought of a question, and looked up at the beam of Miss Pei Shiwu's bedroom.

In fact, Murong Yue has been paying attention to Dou Zihan's every move. Seeing her eyes cast on the beam at this time, she can't help but look at the beam.Concurrently asked: "What did the girl find?"

"Returning to my lord, Zihan is just a guess. Just imagine, my lord, from when Miss Pei Shiwu found the lotus letterhead to when she was killed, the time gap is not that big. The people around the yard are suspicious. If the murderer came to kill at this time, the risk would be higher. Therefore, Zihan has a guess... that is, the person who sent the lotus letter and the murderer may be the same person. Not only that, the murderer sneaked into the room when Miss Pei Shiwu and the maids around her were not in the room, put the lotus letter paper in a place where people could see it at a glance, and did not leave immediately, most likely Hiding in this room. And above the beams, it is often the best place for Tibetans, why don't you send someone to check it out and see if you find anything?"

"Ma Qi, go up and have a look." After hearing this, Murong Yue made some sense. Just like what Miss Dou said, the lotus letter papers received by the deceased famous ladies were indeed very close to the time of the deceased's death. Before receiving the lotus letter paper and before the deceased was killed, there was really no suspect who entered or exited the scene of the crime. Then, did the murderer really hide in the room after sending out the letter paper?
"Yes, my lord." A capable guard beside Murong Yue replied.Then, with a straightening of the body, he climbed onto the beam in the bedroom and inspected it carefully.

Dou Zihan and the few people below cast their gazes up, and after a while, the guard named Ma Qi jumped down from the beam, and said respectfully: "Returning to my lord, the dust on the beam is indeed a sign that someone has been hiding. Judging from the shape of the traces, the person hiding on the roof beam is relatively short in stature, and the subordinates also found these few strands of silk thread, which are a few strands of silk thread hanging from the wood on the roof beam."

There are several brightly colored silk threads in Ma Qi's palm.

Ma Qi's words proved Dou Zihan's guess, and Han Wuzuo and Master Liu's eyes on Dou Zihan became more scorching.

Dou Zihan reached out to get the few silk threads, Ma Qi raised his head and glanced at Murong Yue, seeing that his lord had no intention of objecting, so he handed the few silk threads in Dou Zihan's hands.
