Chapter 7 The Sad Cui's Daughter (5)

The gray clouds blocked the cold moonlight, and the bamboo leaves rustled by the fish pond. The wind passing through the corridor in the distance was sobbing and whimpering, as if I had seen too many desolate scenes, and I couldn't help but tell the stalker in the dark night.

Ningzhu held her anger and gently heeded behind Meng Hui. The words she had just heard kept echoing in her mind. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her girl's life was miserable.

Half a stick of incense sticks, Meng Hui told her that Lord Zheng’s marriage was decided and that his parents’ orders should not be violated. If you want to break free from fate, you can only cause the murder of Cui’s mansion, except for slapping your neck and hanging it.

When Cui Yuying died, there were no visitors in the mansion. Erwei made a fuss, so it could only be done by people in the mansion. As long as you find tangible evidence and spread the matter, Master Cui will definitely be in a state of anxiety. Lord Zheng will definitely not make such a drag on his face.

Ningzhu was so angry when she heard about the marriage, she felt sad again when she thought of the eldest girl's death. Seeing Meng Hui pulling her out of the yard with a calm expression on her face and heading straight to the Yuchi, she thought to herself that after this stimulation, her girl's temperament finally became tougher.

The Cui Mansion has a small population and is not a high-ranking family. At night, there are only two old men guarding the outer and back doors. The inner courtyard never sends people to patrol the night.

"Girl," Ningzhu came to her senses and pressed her voice down so low that it was almost swallowed by the wind. "What are we looking for here? If the person Li Ma Ma saw this morning was really a master, then he... then he..."

Meng Hui knew what Ningzhu wanted to ask, but she didn't answer.

She was squatting by the bamboo forest and looking down at the ground, pressing her voice and said, "First look at the footprints on the ground. If not, we will go in and see if we can find missing objects."

Can't Conan and Sherlock always find something from the crime scene and follow the clues? She can also try it! Regardless of whether the person Li Ma saw was Mr. Cui, the person appeared here sneakily before dawn, which is definitely questionable.

"Girl, look at those very yellow bamboos, are there footprints under it?" Ningzhu squatted beside Meng Hui's side with a sharp eye, pointing his finger to a place that is very difficult to stand.

Following her hand, Meng Hui saw five or six messy footprints, which were clearly someone passing through the path on the other end of the bamboo forest and stopped there for a while.

The man was definitely not standing there in a daze, but turned his direction several times, with six identical footprints, and his toes headed towards three different directions.

If you have big footprints, you must be a middle-aged man.

“The young man who can walk around in this backyard…”

"There are only the master and the eldest son."

"Big Young Master?" Meng Hui was stunned when he heard Ning Zhu's words, why did he forget him!

There are two young men in the Cui family. One is Cui Er, born by Wang, who is ten years old this year. He is not tall and has little strength. The suspicion can be ignored. The other is Cui Da, born by Aunt Li, who is fifteen years old this year, younger than Cui Yuying and Cui Yuwei, and one year older than Cui Yuzhen.

Cui Da and Mr. Cui both have very similar figures and faces, and they are simply carved from the same mold. Cui Yuzhen has made shoes for them, and their feet are about the same size.

Cui Da rarely wanders in the backyard, and the young master has no conflict of interest with the girl. Meng Hui subjectively eliminates his suspicion, just like excluding Mr. Cui and Wang.

The more Meng Hui thought about it, the more he felt that he was too rash.

"On the day when the eldest sister was killed, were the master and the eldest son in the mansion?" Cui Yuzhen fainted when she heard the bad news, and her memory was very blurry. Meng Hui asked Ningzhu. She was reluctant to call Mr. Cui father, but fortunately Ningzhu didn't care about this either.

"In the morning when I discovered that the eldest girl, the master and the eldest son were drunk. Because the day before was Aunt Li's birthday, the master gave the eldest son a letter to stay in the backyard and asked the second daughter to go there too."

Meng Hui frowned after hearing this, feeling that he shouldn't have easily erased anyone's suspicion, because judging from the current situation, these four people are all very suspicious.

Cui Yuwei may be murdered because of jealousy, Aunt Li may also take action for her daughter's marriage, and the footprints in the bamboo forest belong to men, so Cui Da and Mr. Cui are both suspicious.

It is impossible to determine which of them is based on footprints alone. Madam Li's fear can only be used as a reference, and she cannot make a decision based on this point. After all, it was not dawn in the morning, and from a distance, Cui Da and Mr. Cui are really similar.

Cui Da is as lustful as Mr. Cui. At the age of fifteen, he was just as good as a student. He was unpredictable. He skipped classes and fought. He also often sold Aunt Li's gold and silver jewelry to visit the kiln.

Not only did Wang not care about Cui Da, he also deliberately instigated him, and even he and the maid in the mansion turned a blind eye. Last year, Cui Da snatched a little maid in Cui Yuwei's yard, which made Cui Yuwei so angry that she didn't go out for several days.

Later, Wang rewarded Cui Yuwei several times and advised her not to argue with her younger brother. This matter passed so lightly. Later... "Ningzhu, I remember the maid the eldest son robbed last year, and it seemed to be dead?"

Ningzhu squatted behind her and replied softly: "Yes, I'll be dying after not serving the eldest son for a long time."

"It's another emergency. There are so many emergency diseases in this mansion!" Meng Hui felt suspicious and felt something was wrong when he saw anything.

After hearing this, Ningzhu asked in a low voice: "Is there something wrong with that girl's death? Is it the eldest son..."

"I can't say it well. Before I figured out, everything was possible." A cold wind blew, and the sound in the bamboo forest seemed a little cunning at night.

Meng Hui suddenly thought of something, stood up and asked, "Big sister, someone has hit the back of her head and then fell head-on in the fish pond?"

"Biqing next to the eldest girl said this. She woke up early in the morning and found that the eldest girl was missing. She quickly searched for her in the mansion quietly, but she found her at the edge of the fish pond. There was a hole in the back of her head and blood was everywhere."

"She was so scared that she turned the girl up and saw that her mouth and nose were covered with mud, sand and water plants..." Ningzhu couldn't bear to continue talking, bit her lower lip hard, for fear that she would sobb.

After hearing this, Meng Hui thought about something and had two doubts in his heart.

First, assuming that the owner of the footprint is the murderer, lost something, and searched everywhere for no results, he thought of going to the crime scene to find it. But why did he go to the bamboo forest instead of the fish pond?

Second, after Cui Yuying died, there was mud and sand in her mouth and nose, and the cause of death in the King of Hell was also drowning, which shows that the moment she was smashed on the back of her head was not a fatal injury. Since the murderer decided to smash someone, why didn't he smash it to death directly, and had to knock it out and drown? This extravagant behavior could not conceal the fact of murder.

Meng Hui had some speculations in his mind, but because there were too few clues, it seemed that it could not be pieced together. At this moment, she heard Ningzhu's lowered screams.

"Look, girl, there is blood under the ground!"
