The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion - Chapter 921

[Chapter 911 The truth [1]]

Lin House.

Lin Zhou, who was wearing a filial attire, walked into the outer study and saw her husband [Lin Xiuyuan] sitting behind the desk with a tired face, rubbing his eyebrows with his eyes closed.

She kept silent, and went up to pick up the teapot and filled him with tea.

“go out.”

Hearing the tea pouring, Lin Xiuyuan still closed her eyes, but scolded impatiently: “Didn’t you say, do you want to be quiet?”

“master.”

“It’s you?”

Lin Zhoushi whispered, and Lin Xiuyuan knew it was her, so she leaned back and sighed softly: “Hey…Tell me, what’s the matter?”

Lin Zhou went around behind him, pinched and rubbed his forehead with ease, and after a long while, he whispered, “Even though it was a man who was checked yesterday, those wives and girls are still staying in the back house. .”

Lin Xiuyuan closed her eyes again when she started massaging the acupuncture points on her head. At this time, she didn’t even respond at all, as if she had fallen asleep.

Lin Zhoushi waited for a while, but still could not get a response from him, and then said to himself: “I see this posture, it seems that something scandalous is going to be dug up in our house, this…”

“Is there less scandal in our family?”

Lin Xiuyuan suddenly interrupted her words, but then fell silent again.

Lin Zhou was choked, and it was difficult for him to continue talking for a while, so he could only massage the acupoints for her husband.

I don’t know how long it took before Lin Xiuyuan sighed softly again: “It’s easy to ask God to send him off.”

Obviously, by now, he has some regrets about inviting Sun Shaozong to investigate the case.

but……

Even if Shuntian Mansion came forward to investigate, would it be possible to put those suspicious things aside and ignore them at all?

So right now, we can only hope that Sun Shaozong can find out the truth as soon as possible, instead of continuing to dig deeper into the scandal of the Lin family.

“Master, master!”

Just thinking of this, a servant suddenly came in yelling and screaming all the way, and found that Lin Zhou was also in the study, so he stopped embarrassingly, and bowed timidly: “Ma’am.”

“What’s the etiquette of this panic?”

Lin Xiuyuan scolded angrily, and immediately asked, “But another distinguished guest came to the door, do you need your grandfather to entertain?”

“no!”

The little servant shook his head as if he was shaking a rattle: “It’s that Master Sun, he… he asked people to find dozens of shovels and was about to dig three feet into the ground behind our house!”

Dig three feet?

Obviously, after repeated searches and found nothing, Sun Shaozong is still so certain that he must have a secret way? !

Lin Xiuyuan stood up suddenly, and suddenly felt dark in front of him, staggered and almost fell back.

“Master, you must be careful!”

Lin Zhou hurriedly supported him, but Lin Xiuyuan recovered a little, but pushed his wife away gently, and then strode out of the study with a sullen face.

All the way to the back house,

I saw dozens of yamen servants, who were already in full swing, and there were stone slabs torn open, shrubs and flowers that were dug up everywhere.

But it doesn’t look messy, and the piles are neatly organized.

“Outside the forest staff.”

Without waiting for Lin Xiuyuan to draw his attention from the hot construction site, Sun Shaozong took the initiative to look for him, first bowing his hands, then pointing to the person behind him and introducing, “This is Mr. Feng Xinfeng, whose family has been engaged in civil engineering for generations. Business – with him, no matter what clues can be dug up, it will definitely return to its original state in the end.”

These words brought Lin Xiuyuan’s question to his lips and blocked it back abruptly.

Since it is guaranteed that it can be restored as it is, in order to find out the truth of his father’s murder, what is the point of digging a few paths and some flower beds?

However, Lin Xiuyuan had a faint hunch in his heart. It seemed that if the excavation was not stopped as soon as possible, the Lin Mansion would encounter even greater disasters!

only……

In what name should the excavation be called off?

Lin Xiuyuan pondered for a long time, and finally came up with a reluctant reason. Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly found that Sun Shaozong’s attention was no longer on him, but turned to somewhere diagonally behind.

What is he looking at?

Lin Xiuyuan looked back in surprise, and saw a petite young woman in plain white, standing under the arch, staring blankly.

Is it Shen Peilan, the widowed daughter-in-law?

What is she here for?

And the expression looks very strange…

Could it be that? !

Lin Xiuyuan was shocked. He finally understood where his uneasy premonition came from!

There was panic and resentment at the same time, especially when he thought of the suspicious incident of his son’s inexplicable illness and then his death, he wished that he could immediately grab his daughter-in-law and torture him.

But now is not the time to settle accounts.

Because once this kind of rebellion against human ethics is uncovered, then the dead Lin Qisheng, and even the entire Lin family, will fall into the situation that thousands of people point to!

“Master Sun!”

Lin Xiuyuan took a deep breath and said categorically: “I’m afraid there is something wrong with this matter, please order your subordinates to stop first, and then decide whether to continue digging after you and I have discussed it!”

The moment he saw Shen Peilan’s appearance, Sun Shaozong knew that he had made the right bet. Now that the truth was about to be revealed, how could he just stop there?

He smiled slightly at the moment, and was about to say something perfunctory when he heard someone shout: “Dig, keep digging! Don’t stop!”

Sun Shaozong and Lin Xiuyuan looked at the sound at the same time, but saw Shen Peilan stumbling forward, looking at the shallow ravine with tearful eyes, as if there were some treasures buried underneath.

Done!

Lin Xiuyuan slowly closed her eyes and didn’t look around again.

Sun Shaozong wanted Feng Xin to wink and signaled everyone to speed up the progress.

…………

It’s evening.

A secret passage that was buried four feet underground was finally exposed to everyone’s eyes.

At the same time, there was also a corpse with seven orifices bleeding and poisonous, but with a peaceful face – after careful identification, the deceased was the little servant Liu’er that everyone had been searching for for a long time.

Around Liu’er’s body, not only the residual poison, but also several utensils useful for excavation, as well as gnawed dry food residues were found.

In the middle of the secret passage, there are a lot of excavated traces.

As for the entrances at both ends of the secret passage, it was a tight seam that was blocked by soil, and it was full of marks of tamping with a wooden mallet.

Obviously, the reason why Liu’er took the risk of being discovered and pretended to be Lin Qisheng for many days after poisoning Lin Qisheng was to make preparations and then block the two sections of the secret passage.

It’s also obvious that when he designed this poisoning, he didn’t want to leave alive!

After half an hour.

Both ends of the secret passage were dug up again, and the entrances that had been crucified were located in Lin Qisheng’s study and Shen Peilan’s bedroom.

“Bitch!”

Although he had expected it long ago, Lin Xiuyuan couldn’t hold back at this time. He rushed up and slapped his daughter-in-law in the face, and said angrily, “You…you dare…you dare…”

But while he was angry, he didn’t know how to sue his daughter-in-law for what he had done.

Shen Peilan seemed unusually calm.

To be precise, after Liu’er’s body was excavated, there was no one else in her eyes.

At this moment, the corners of her mouth were cracked, but she still stared at Liu’er in a daze, and even reached out her hand tremblingly, trying to help Liu’er smooth out the broken hair on her forehead.

“Bitch!”

Lin Xiuyuan became more and more annoyed, and stopped between the two of them, angrily said, “It’s okay for you to collude with this dog thief, how can you dare to harm the grandfather?!”

After speaking, he shouted again: “Someone, tie up this unholy and unclean maid for me, and take it to the flower hall for interrogation!”

Obviously, at this point, he was still trying to restore Lin Qisheng’s reputation – even if his son might have died because of it.

But this time Shen Peilan reacted, raising his neck like a white goose and defending: “No! He never…”

slap~

Another slap in the face was slapped hard, and Lin Xiuyuan shouted sharply, “What are you still doing?! Hurry up and tie her up to me!”

Only then did the servants of the Lin House wake up like a dream, and they rushed up from all directions.

There was a manager inside, who obviously guessed Lin Xiuyuan’s intentions, and covered Shen Peilan’s mouth with a handkerchief as soon as he came up.

Lin Xiuyuan just breathed a sigh of relief, when suddenly a tall and burly figure pushed the crowd away, and silently took off the veil covering his mouth.

“Master Sun, you are…”

“He never touched a finger of me! Liu’er… Liu’er, he has never touched a finger of me by chance!”

Lin Xiuyuan’s roar rang out at the same time as her daughter-in-law’s shrill screams, and together with the red clouds in the sky, they fell into the darkness together.
