Chapter 1848 The 3th Person
When talking about the new acquaintance, Yu Dalang seemed to be thinking about something.
Yu Xiaoran looked up and blurted out, "No."
Huo Changhe glanced at her disdainfully and said nothing.
Yu Dalang also looked at her, frowned slightly and then relaxed.
"I work in a grain store, and I see new faces every day. It's impossible to say that I haven't met any new people. However, they are all nodding acquaintances, not deep friendships."
"And I won't know my wife."
This is true and reasonable.
Huo Changhe nodded. At this time, Yan Ruyu came out of the mourning hall. She had already taken some samples and put them into the space.
Yan Ruyu took out the hairpin and asked Yu Dalang, "After you left last night, this princess and the prince went to the crime scene again, and this was found there."
"Your wife's, right?"
When Yu Dalang saw the hairpin, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he turned to look at Yu Xiaoran.
There was a hint of panic in Yu Xiaoran's eyes. She pursed her lips and said nothing, with her fingers twisted together.
Yan Ruyu immediately determined that she was probably involved in this matter.
Yu Dalang took the hairpin and held it tightly: "Yes, it's Qingniang's."
Yan Ruyu remained calm: "This hairpin is very beautiful, I think you bought it for her."
Yu Dalang took two breaths and said, "Yes, she is pregnant. I was happy and bought it for her with my monthly allowance."
"Did you buy it yourself?" Yan Ruyu asked, "Where did you buy it?"
Yu Dalang paused, and before he could answer, Yu Xiaoran said, "No, my sister-in-law and I went to buy it together."
"At Bai Xiaohuo," Yu Xiaoran looked at the hairpin, "My sister-in-law didn't know I was going to buy it for her at the time. My brother told her when we got home."
Yan Ruyu followed her words and asked, "Where were you when your sister-in-law was murdered yesterday?"
Yu Xiaoran pursed her lips hard: "Me? I was at home at first, and then my mother said she wanted to buy some silk thread to embroider a bellyband for my unborn nephew, so I went to chase my brother and sister-in-law, but I didn't find them."
"Later I heard a commotion and someone said there was an accident in the alley ahead. I went over to see and that's when I found out..."
Before she finished speaking, tears rolled down her cheeks.
Yan Ruyu sighed softly: "My condolences."
As they were talking, Mao Xiaowei and her elder brother arrived.
Yan Ruyu turned her head and saw that Mao Jia Dalang and Mao Xiaowei had similar eyebrows and eyes, also with happy eyebrows and big eyes, looking smart and upright.
He was more than a head taller than Mao Xiaowei, wore a blue cloth robe, and was thin but not weak.
When Mao Xiaowei saw Yan Ruyu, his eyes lit up slightly and he said something to the eldest brother beside him. Mao Dalang hurried over to greet him.
Yan Ruyu noticed that there was a hint of envy, surprise, jealousy and unwillingness in Yu Xiaoran's eyes.
It only took a flash, but it was quite complicated.
Yan Ruyu confirmed once again that her previous guess was correct. Yu Xiaoran often talked to Mao Xiaowei about her in-laws' family and dowry. This was her way of showing off and calming her jealousy towards Mao Xiaowei.
The Mao brothers and sisters burned incense and came to comfort Yu Dalang.
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe also said goodbye, and the Yu family saw them off to the door.
"What can you see?" Yan Ruyu asked.
Huo Changhe replied: "Yu Xiaoran didn't tell the truth. She said she went there after hearing that someone had an accident in the alley. But it is said that the deceased was not found until almost an hour after he disappeared."
"Within this hour, the Yu family asked many neighbors to help look for it. How could Yu Xiaoran not know about it in just one hour?"
"The hairpin belongs to her, but she lied. This matter must be related to her."
"I share the same view as the prince," Yan Ruyu thought, "and there is another interesting point. I deliberately asked Yu Dalang if the hairpin belonged to his wife, and he said yes."
"But he took one look at Yu Xiaoran," Huo Changhe took over and said, "He should have known something, but he chose to cover up for Yu Xiaoran."
Yan Ruyu took a deep breath and said, "It's really interesting. Let's go to the crime scene and take a look."
Watching it during the day is a little different from watching it last night.
Yan Ruyu stood at the bottom of the stairs and saw the most chaotic scene, where the deceased's clothes had fallen, which was also where the deceased had been abused.
Not in the house, but at the foot of the stairs.
She looked inside the house: "No."
"We found the hairpin behind the door last night," she pointed at the door. "Your Highness, if the deceased had never entered the door, and the door was in this state, and if she had stabbed the murderer with the hairpin and the murderer got angry and opened the hairpin, then..."
Huo Changhe pointed to the steps and said, "The hairpin should be here, or in the threshold. It won't be behind the door."
"That's right," Yan Ruyu nodded, "So..."
"There should be a third person at the scene."
As Yan Ruyu was speaking, a beeping sound was heard in the space.
The test results are out.
After she took the sample in the mourning hall, she placed it directly in the space for testing.
"The blood on the door frame belongs to the deceased, but the fingerprints do not," Yan Ruyu said. "It is certain that there was a third person at the scene, and it was a woman."
Yan Ruyu's eyes were slightly cold: "Yu Xiaoran is very suspicious."
Huo Changhe's voice also turned a little colder: "Should we ask Governor Cao to send someone to arrest her and bring her back for questioning?"
Yan Ruyu thought for a moment: "Does your Highness remember? I asked if the hairpin was bought by Yu Dalang for the deceased, and Yu Xiaoran took over the conversation."
"She was telling the truth. Mao Xiaowei also said that the hairpin was bought by her and her sister-in-law at Bai Xiao Huo together."
"But the discrepancy is that the hairpin was bought by the deceased for Yu Xiaoran, but Yu Xiaoran said that she deliberately let the deceased think that it was bought for Yu Xiaoran and gave her a surprise when she got home."
Huo Changhe looked at the fingerprints on the door and said, "This shows that Yu Xiaoran is quick-witted and indeed quite clever."
"Yes, so even if we catch her now, it will be useless. Without solid evidence, we can't force her to confess."
"Why not wait a little longer? She can't run away anyway."
Yan Ruyu's tone was chilling: "Catching her is secondary. Maybe she can help us lead out the mastermind behind the scenes. If it is really related to Hua, it would be even better."
"Okay, it's up to you."
Leaving the alley, Yan Ruyu asked, "My Lord, don't you want to go and see Gong Yanghua?"
Huo Changhe didn't really want to go. First, that woman was really annoying to him, and second, he would have to change his appearance every time he went, which was really troublesome.
"We just had dinner yesterday, let's let her hang out for a while."
Yan Ruyu knew what he was thinking, but she didn't point it out.
The two men returned to the palace and were walking forward when they suddenly saw several horses coming in front of them. The one leading them was Gongyang Hua.
Yan Ruyu thought to herself, Speak of the devil and he will appear.
As soon as he saw her, Huo Changhe pulled Yan Ruyu to the side, as far away from her as possible.
But Huo Changhe was really eye-catching, and Gong Yanghua was not riding very fast, so he soon discovered him.
If it were ordinary people, Gong Yanghua would not take them seriously, but that was Huo Changhe.
How could she dare to act rashly?
Moreover, Huo Changhe was handsome, how could she miss him? Even if she didn't dare to have any other bad thoughts, it would be good to be able to talk to him.
Thinking of this, she immediately dismounted and stepped forward to greet him.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Ruyu wanted to see if she was injured.
Although it has been ruled out that she is a "flower", but what if?
Yan Ruyu switched her eyes and looked at Gong Yanghua.
This sight gave her a great surprise.
