I see You Lian is the ally

Chapter 98

The rain hits the glazed tiles lightly and heavily, bit by bit, like a child who is just learning to play the piano, playing a stringed sound mischievously.

The branches of a locust tree swayed outside the window, and the leaves of the tree were covered with rainwater.

Mrs. Yu stood by the window with her hands behind her back, looking at the boundless cold rain outside, her heart seemed to be filled with a boundless chill.The guard standing on one side reminded in a low voice: "Captain Yu, Commander Lei is here."

Yu Taiqing turned around and walked towards the bed frame on one side, on which were displayed two corpses, the corpses of Yinniang and Kong Yu.This is the mortuary where Tianshusi placed the corpses, and the room is filled with the smell of balsam to prevent corpses from decomposing.

Lei Yan quickly walked into the room.

The time limit given by the emperor to solve the case was only one month, several days passed in a blink of an eye, and the case has not made any progress.

Lei Yan has become the commander of the Tianshu Division himself, and has never encountered such a difficult monster.It came and went without a trace, harmed people, and left a mess, but no clues were left behind.

He read the case files for a while, and after listening to Shuwei's report that Yu Taiqing was waiting for him in the mortuary, he hurried over.

"Yu Dujian, do you have a clue?" Lei Yan asked as soon as he entered the room.

Yu Taiqing took the sheepskin gloves handed over by the guard and put them on slowly, and lifted the white cloths covering the two corpses.The body was dark like a charred corpse, and at first glance it was creepy.

Yu Taiqing pointed to the gold collar on Kong Yu's corpse and said, "Commander, do you see that there is a piece missing here?"

Lei Yan leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, he saw a gap in the middle of the gold collar.

Yu Taiqing said: "I don't know much about women's accessories. I can see that the opening is round. It should be inlaid with pearls and jade, but there is nothing there. According to Zheng Min's confession, on the day of the Peony Flower Banquet, Kong Yu wore On the gold collar, there is a piece of red jewelry, it seems to be here."

Lei Yan frowned and pondered: "Maybe it fell into the flower shed, and I ordered the guards to search for it later, but what's the importance of it?"

Yu Taiqing said: "When Yinniang died, the hairpin was wearing bracelets, but she did not wear earrings. Later, during the interrogation, her Aunt Wang once said that Yinniang got a new pair of earrings, which were given by her lover. As a gift, she likes it very much, and she will wear it every day, but there are no earrings on the corpse."

Lei Yan frowned: "Maybe, she didn't wear it that day."

Yu Taiqing shook her head, took the file of Yinniang's case from Shuwei's hand, took out a piece of paper from the file, handed it to Lei Yan, and said, "This is the style of the earring I asked Mrs. Wang to draw."

A pair of earrings were drawn with a few strokes on the paper. The artist's drawing skills were quite clumsy, and he could barely see a round gemstone inlaid on the earrings, whether it was a pearl or a gemstone.

Yu Taiqing saw Lei Yan's doubts, and said: "I asked, Mrs. Wang said that the inlaid ones are red beads."

"What happened to the red beads?" Lei Yan asked.

Mrs. Yu frowned and said: "There are red pearls on Yinniang's earrings, and red pearls on Kong Yu's collar. It may be a coincidence. But, these two things disappeared in the end, is it a bit strange?"

Lei Yan frowned and considered: "You suspect that monsters harm people in order to get jewelry? No..."

Lei Yan was taken aback in horror: "Could it be that the monster becomes a demon from pearls and jade?"

"Not necessarily." Yu Taiqing stood up and said, "However, monsters are always related to pearls and jade. If the loss is not a coincidence, but the monster took it away, I always feel that this will be the key to the case. I will go to the jewelry store later Take a trip."

Lei Yan nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "I heard that you sent the little lady of Zheng Zhongshuling's family to the fierce prison that night, and the enchantment of the Nether Formation suddenly broke, and you arrested Lady Jiang in the formation. Xian destroyed the Nether Formation."

Yu Taiqing took off the sheepskin gloves in her hand, followed Lei Yan slowly out of the mortuary, and said: "Ms. Jiang has a strong temper. After arguing with me for a few words, she wanted to set fire to my guard house. I just wanted to Threatening and frightening her, she was locked up in the Fierce Prison. Who would have thought that the Nether Formation would arrest her by mistake. The Nether Formation has been in existence for many years, and even human beings are not distinguished. It should have been repaired long ago. If it wasn't for Chu Xian, Jiang The lady died in the battle."

Lei Yan laughed, half-believing.

Ever since Yuan Feng's Sky Eye was abolished for checking Yu Taiqing's background that day, Lei Yan had some doubts about Yu Taiqing's identity.

The two stood on the porch on the second floor with their own thoughts. Through the rain and fog, they could see a carriage coming through the rain and fog on the long street outside, and stopped in front of Tianshusi's gate.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a little lady in a light red shirt and a bun jumped out of the carriage and opened the oil-paper umbrella in her hand.

Lei Yan glanced at Yu Taiqing in surprise, and said, "Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, but you are going to interrogate Mrs. Jiang today?"

"No, maybe he came to visit Commander Lei." Mrs. Yu said with a cold expression on her face. After saying that, he went downstairs with his hands behind his back and went straight to the valet.

Lei Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said: "Since that's the case, I will order someone to send Miss Jiang away. I don't want Tianshusi to be set on fire by her again."

As soon as Yu Taiqing took her seat in the duty room, a guard came in and reported: "Yu Dujian, Zheng Zhongshu ordered the lady Jiang in the mansion to ask to see her."

A faint gleam flashed in Yu Taiqing's dark eyes, and he asked, "Why did you ask to see me?"

Shu Wei reported: "Ms. Jiang said she was sending something to Yu Dujian."

Yu Taiqing paused while holding the file, frowned slightly and said, "You said I'm busy, if it's not something important, let her go back to the mansion, Tianshu Division is not a place for her to come and go at will."

The Shuwei went to send a message, and after a while he opened the door and came in to report: "Yu Dujian, Mrs. Jiang said that you are busy first, and she is waiting outside. It will not be too late to see her when you are done."

Shu Wei finished speaking, bowed and retreated.

Yu Taiqing flipped through the case files for a while, got up and walked to the window, and looked out through the sill window.

I saw the corner of the painting standing in the rain with an oiled paper umbrella.

The surface of the oil-paper umbrella is light red, like a blooming red lotus floating in the rain and fog.

Yu Taiqing got up and put on the outer robe hanging on a shelf, lifted the curtain and walked out.

When Hua Jiao saw him coming out, he quickly greeted him with an umbrella.Standing on tiptoe, she tried to lift the umbrella over his head.

Yu Taiqing was stunned for a moment, then looked down at her, with a look of alienation and indifference, and walked straight out.

Huajiao is shorter than Yu Taiqing in stature, so it is very strenuous to hold the umbrella like this.But she was very attentive, following in his footsteps, step by step, with a cautious look, just like an eunuch covering the emperor with a canopy.

"Yu Dujian, do you want to go out? Where are you going? I'll take you there." She asked.

Mrs. Yu paused, looked down at her and said, "The Metropolitan has something to go out, what's your matter, let's talk about it here."

Hua Jiao raised her left hand, and Yu Taiqing saw a cloth bag in her hand.

"The Dujian came to the mansion yesterday. Lin Gu said that she was going to give you a box of incense pills, but you left in a hurry and didn't bother to get it. I brought it here for you today."

Mrs. Yu narrowed her long eyes slightly, and said in a calm manner: "Guess Lin said she wanted to send incense made by Mrs. Jiang, but what she brought back was not. Gus Lin probably felt that such a deception would be disrespectful, so she just didn't feel ashamed to give it away."

Huajiao smiled and said, "The ones I brought today are indeed made by me."

Early this morning, Hua Jiao took out the fragrant pancakes from the goose pear tent that he had made a few days ago.

Originally, it was supposed to be left to dry in the shade for more than a month, but she wanted to give it to Yu Taiqing, so she took it out in advance, lit a fire in the porch, and planned to dry it.

When the shape was finished, Lin Gu asked her to use flower moulds, but she found it troublesome, so she kneaded it into balls with her hands, and pressed them into round cakes.In her words, anyway, if it is put into the smoker, it will turn into ashes after burning, and it is not necessary to fix the fake ones, as long as the fragrance is good.

This time I took it out and saw that the pancakes were of different sizes, making it hard to catch the eye.

She picked and picked out eight pieces of the same size, and put them in the pot to bake.Unexpectedly, cracks were quickly baked on the fragrant cakes.

Huajiao sighed, and could only pull out the generals from the box, picked out some that could be seen, and put them in the porcelain box.

When Mrs. Yu heard the words, her clear eyes narrowed slightly, and there was an elusive depth in her dark eyes.

At this time, a Shuwei brought an oil-paper umbrella, and Yu Taiqing took it and opened it, and went straight to Tianshusi Layman, and said as he walked, "If Lady Jiang is only here to send incense and has nothing else to do, then go back. Fuchu has its own incense pills made by the perfumer in the palace."

Hua Jiao held up an umbrella and followed Mrs. Yu out of Tianshusi. Seeing him lift the curtain and get into the carriage, he chased after him and said, "Yu Dujian, I actually have something else to report, which is about the case."

Mrs. Yu looked at her and pondered for a while, and said, "In that case, you can get in the car."

Hua Jiao got into the carriage, with a slightly condensed expression, and said, "I wonder if Dujian found Yingyu in the flower shed?"

Mrs. Yu nodded her head: "If this is the case, there is no need for Mrs. Jiang to tell, the Shu Wei has also found out."

Hua Jiao frowned and said, "Did the Dujian ever notice that at the Peony Banquet, there were wild birds. This kind of bird always lives in the deep mountains, and rarely appears in the most populated places. On the day Yinniang's accident happened, I was waiting outside Fengyang Tower, and I also saw a few wild birds perched on the eaves."

Yu Taiqing frowned thoughtfully, obviously not noticing.

Huajiao reminded: "There must be a reason for the abnormality. If Yudu inspects and investigates, there may be unexpected clues."

Yu Taiqing nodded: "That's it, thank you very much. If there is nothing else, please invite Mrs. Jiang to my carriage."

Hua Jiao hummed, opened the cloth bag in his hand, took out a porcelain box from inside, placed it on the table of the carriage, and said, "One last thing. Since you said you would send incense pills, you must not lose your word. If you dislike it, please throw it away."

Yu Taiqing opened the porcelain box and saw the fragrant cakes of different sizes and some cracked, a wave flashed in her dark eyes, but there was no trace of it.

Yu Taiqing closed the porcelain box and said, "This smells a bit sweet, do you think it is suitable for me to make incense?"

Hua Jiao hurriedly said: "This incense is not for fumigation of clothes, it is the incense in the goose pear tent, it is lighted in the room to help sleep."

Yu Taiqing twitched her eyebrows: "Did you send this incense to the wrong person?"
