After speaking, he led the two of them into the morgue, and pointed them to the wound on Hong Chengyu's neck.There were two marks on Hong Chengyu's neck that were clearly visible, one crossed at the top, and the other circled the back. They were marks in two completely different directions.

Su Mu explained: "Many scars on a person's body may not be fully visible for a period of time after death, but after a period of time, the skin will undergo... some changes, making the wounds that were originally invisible become clearer.That's probably how it is now."

"Not only that, look here." Su Mu stretched out his hand and pulled Hong Chengyu's clothes, revealing the trapezius muscle at the back of his neck. There were a few purple-red scratches on it. Although the color was not as deep as the neck, it was enoughIdentify, "From the trace here to here, the thickness of the rope is the same, and the traces are all similar, so I guess..."

Su Mu walked behind Liu Xiaoran, and gestured vaguely on his neck: "He should be sitting on a chair, and someone strangled his neck from behind, and that person should not have much strength.The posture of squatting is mostly to increase the strength of the hands with the help of one's own weight when squatting."

"Yu Zhi." Hearing Lu Lingjue's words, Man Nan's eyes were full of admiration, "You can see so many things from a dead body. I thought I could deduce when he died.You are a very powerful person, but I didn't expect you to know so much! You simply know more than the old master in Jingzhao Mansion!"

After saying this, Lu Lingjue suddenly reacted unsteadily: "But where did you learn all these skills? You are the little Marquis of the Marquis of Anding. Usually, those young masters would like to escape as far as possible when they see a corpse.Far, but you are neither afraid nor shy, and you don't feel dirty when you get started, which is really rare."

Su Mu also felt that this was unreasonable. The ancients had a lot of taboos about these gods and ghosts. Ordinary Marquis would personally inspect the corpse.

But what can be done?

sit idly by?

If he could do it himself, he wouldn't have traveled here by mistake.

Su Mu smiled rather guiltyly, and said vaguely: "It's not that magical, it's just that I read some books at home before, and I was quite impressed. Who wouldn't learn from others, right??”

Lu Lingjue wanted to continue asking which book it was, when his lord's cold voice sounded.

"Didn't you say you found a lot of things? When will you finish listing today and when will you have dinner?"

Now Lu Lingjue jumped up as if being burned by a fire and groaned.

"I'm just starting to talk!"

Seeing this, Su Mu also heaved a sigh of relief, and carefully glanced at Liu Xiaoran's expression from the corner of his eye. Logically speaking, even Lu Lingjue could tell that something was wrong. This Liu Shaoqing must have thought that there was something wrong with him, but now his expression is normal, it seemed that he didn't care about Lu Lingjue's questioning, which made Su Mu a little confused.

After pondering for a long time, Su Mu came back to his senses.

The scars on the corpse are obvious to all, and the footprints by the pool are also real. As Liu Xiaoran said, he only believed in his own judgment from beginning to end.

Therefore, it's not that Liu Xiaoran didn't become suspicious because of this matter, but that he probably didn't believe it from the beginning to the end.

Just when he was in a daze, Lu Lingjue waved his hand in front of him.

"What's the matter, I've been calling you for a long time and you still haven't responded." Lu Lingjue pouted angrily, "My lord told us to go to the main hall, it's not convenient to talk here."

"Okay, let's go." Su Mu nodded, covered the white cloth on the corpse and said, "I'm going to wash my hands, you go first, I'll be back in a while."

When he stepped into the main hall, Lu Lingjue was telling Liu Xiaoran vividly about the wonderful drama he heard in the Hong Mansion.

"He took a look, hey, he saw his second sister-in-law's clothes on the ground, so he felt that the eldest brother did something wrong, and Madam Liang committed suicide because of shame. It's just, let me say—" Lu LingjuePutting his hands on the table, he tapped his fingers lightly, "This is a difficult matter to be honest. If people on both sides don't say anything, who knows who knows, but this Hong Chengyu actually agreed to Hong YichenIsn’t this a clumsy denial resulting in self-exposure. So if you do something bad, it’s a big taboo to be guilty.”

His old god was there, and just after he finished speaking, he saw Liu Xiaoran cast a glance over him.

"No, my lord, I don't mean to do anything bad."

Su Mu recalled what Hong Yichen said just now, and felt that there was another point that he was very concerned about: "Then Hong Chengyu owed a lot of debts outside, and he actually agreed to Hong Yichen's request, and he said that a sum of money will come in a few days, What kind of windfall is this, even Mrs. Hong doesn't know."

Lu Lingjue also nodded: "Yes, we asked all the people in Hong's house, and no one knew where Hong Chengyu's money came from, and where it is now.Misfortune is not impossible."

Liu Xiaoran sorted out the IOUs on the table, and said, "I visited all the creditors today, and they all said that they had never come to ask for it. One reason is that the Hong family has taken root in Bishui County for more than a hundred years, and they are already human beings.We all know the wealthy family, and secondly, they say that Hong Siqi is a very capable person, even if Hong Chengyu really can't make it, they can ask Hong Siqi for it, so they are not in a hurry."

Su Mu nodded: "From this point of view, it is even more impossible for him to hang himself. These debts have not yet reached the point where he has to repay, and since he can meet Hong Yichen's request, he must still have some confidence.It is impossible to reach the end of the mountain.”

"But if it's not suicide, then the door is closed, and it's impossible for anyone else to enter." Lu Lingjue recalled the description of the people below, "They all saw that the door couldn't be opened at first, and then they were knocked open before they could enter.Yes, it can’t be a deliberate collusion.”

This also gave Su Mu a headache. The closed doors and windows were also one of the suspicious points, and now he couldn't find any reasonable explanation, so he could only shake his head, indicating that he couldn't figure it out either.

Moreover, the time of death of the deceased was already in the early morning. At that time, the people of the Hong Mansion were still asleep, and there were no witnesses. It can be said that the murderer chose an extremely concealed time. If Su Mu hadn't seen another scar, which would again be considered suicide.

He frowned. From Liang Xuanxuan to Hong Chengyu, although the murderers used different methods to kill them, they were all extremely subtle and difficult to detect. If the same person did it, then the thoughtfulness of this person was far beyond his expectation.If it wasn't the same person, would it be Hong Chengyu who was afraid of revealing his scandal that killed Liang Xuanxuan?

The clues are so numerous and complicated that it is almost impossible to find them.

The room suddenly fell into silence, even Lu Lingjue, who was the most talkative, rarely showed a bit of sadness.

"Since the murderer's method of committing the crime cannot be found from the scene, let's look elsewhere first." Liu Xiaoran stood up, "The whereabouts of the teacup is also one of the clues.If you have any questions, go and find out if anyone in the Hong Mansion has bought any suspicious drugs recently. In addition, whether the relationship between Liang Xuanxuan and Hong Chengyu is really as Hong Yichen said remains to be verified. Since Hong Yichen said that the eldest lady also knows thisSo, let's go to her place as well."

"I never believed that there would be unsolved cases in this world."

The author has something to say:

Let me give you a quick rundown, now known:

1. Liang Xuanxuan had an improper relationship with Hong Chengyu (to be determined); 2. Liang Xuanxuan was carried and thrown into the water (according to the footprints and where she was finally found in the water); 3. There was a strangulation on Hong Chengyu's neckInjury + self-hanging injury, and the self-hanging injury has a life reaction, indicating that he was hung up while he was alive; 4. The clues at the scene; the cup is gone/the door and window are closed/the time of death is after the Yin hour of the previous day; 5.Confessions: Hong Chengyu said that he would soon have a large sum of money / Ding Ziping said that Hong Chengyu was out of his mind / Hong Yichen said that Ding Ziping knew about Hong Chengyu's cheating...

There are many clues, right~
