Chapter 101 Octagonal Rice Dumpling (2)
"She said that her husband-in-law went to a private meeting with a mountain villager's wife last month, and because he was discovered by the mountain people, he panicked when he fled. He didn't pay attention, stepped on the air, fell down and fell to his death." Wei Fu said.
Liu Yuan: "...Then these two people are really like each other, a match made in heaven!"
Wei Fu let out a "huh" and didn't mention the main point until now, he looked at Lin Fei and said, "Lin Shaoqing, after listening to this, I asked her about which mountain would her husband fall to his death? Do you know what she said?"
Lin Fei glanced at Wei Fu's dignified expression, frowned, and said, "That mountain behind Yishan Academy?"
"That's right there!" Wei Fu said.
So far, both the dead Han Jun and the owner of the study who fell to his death are all related to Yishan Bookstore.
Lin Fei looked at the name of the mountain people on the file handed over to Wei Fu, and it matched the name of one of the mountain people that Liu Yuan brought over: "Zhou Dagui?"
"That's him." Wei Fu said this, looked at Liu Yuan who was on the side, and asked, "Do you have any impression of this mountain man named Zhou Dagui?"
After all, it was only during the day, and the memory of the officials of Dali Temple will not be bad. Liu Yuan closed his eyes and thought for a while, then remembered: "I have some impressions. This is Zhou Dagui's figure. He's not tall, but he's quite a strong man. He looked a little dull. When I went to ask questions, he was chopping firewood, and he answered every question. I walked around his house and saw nothing unusual, so I came out .”
"Where's his wife who stole with the owner of the study?" Wei Fu asked.
Liu Yuan glanced at him, and said: "I was just about to say it! I asked the neighbors, and it was Zhou Dagui and a few mountain people who came across the thief. The woman and the concubine saw so many people, and they danced instinctively. After escaping from the window, Zhou Dagui and several mountain people chased after them. On the way to escape, the mother-in-law and his concubine passed under a tree. Some woodcutter inserted the ax into the tree pole conveniently. When the two passed under the tree , the ax loosened and fell from the tree pole, hitting his mother-in-law on the spot, and her head was blown out. The mistress was so frightened that she stumbled and fell directly from the mountain to her death."
Zhou Dagui and the mountain folk were stunned by such a mysterious cause of death.
"The concubine who fell to death was the same person as the owner of the study who died." Liu Yuan couldn't help frowning and said, "This is too coincidental!"
Wei Fu nodded: He also felt that this incident was too coincidental, and he always felt that no matter whether it was Zhou Dagui or the owner of the beautiful woman in the study, they were inseparable.
"That Zhou Dagui was a woodcutter, and his wife who stole was killed by an axe. It's really a coincidence!" Liu Yuan said, "But it was the same concubine who ran away in a panic. It happened under the watchful eyes of everyone. Even if the ax stuck in the tree belonged to Zhou Dagui, it cannot be said that Zhou Dagui killed the person."
After all, if the two of them didn't run away, they wouldn't be beaten to death by an axe.
Hearing this, Lin Fei said "Yes", raised his head, met the gazes of Liu Yuan and Wei Fu looking at him, passed the dossier in his hands to the two of them, and said, "I'm looking for the boss of the rouge shop in the city. The craftsman took a look at the balm, and the old craftsman said, the ingredients and proportions of this balm are very fine, it must be top grade, and the price is not cheap."
Hearing this, Liu Yuan let out an "oh", and couldn't help muttering, "The expensive lip balm doesn't necessarily look good when you put it on!"
Han Jun's lip smeared mouth was frighteningly tight.
Lin Fei ignored Liu Yuan's muttering, and continued: "The rouge doesn't come from any rouge shop in the city, it should be made by a person who can make rouge."
Lin Fei glanced at him, and said: "However, the method of matching rouge is not fashionable today, it seems to be the method of twenty years ago."
"Is that a rouge craftsman from 20 years ago?" Liu Yuan thought for a while and said, "Then you changed your career and stopped making rouge?"
Lin Fei was noncommittal about this, just paused, and then said: "I checked the case in the warehouse of Dali Temple that was related to the rouge craftsman 20 years ago, and found one."
As he spoke, he handed over the case file in his hand.
"Twenty years ago, there was a very famous rouge lady in Chang'an City. She made good rouge and was well-known among rouge craftsmen." Lin Fei said lightly, "The rouge lady was later born by the same scholar. When I got married, she made rouge for the scholar to study, and the scholar promised himself to study hard, and he would find a way to go to high school in the future."
This routine... Liu Yuan rubbed his hands, feeling very familiar: "I know, Lin Shaoqing. The scholar must have been in high school, and he disliked the rouge lady as a craftsman, so she became a heartless person, divorced his wife and married someone else , and then that Rouge lady changed her temperament drastically and started killing people..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wei Fu who glanced at the file: "No. This scholar doesn't even have high school skills, and he started to be a heartless person after entering the academy."
The scholar in the case twenty years ago was not very good at reading, but he was quite romantic. As soon as he entered the academy, he squandered the money provided by the Rouge lady while having fun with various women.
"Later, Lady Rouge found out about the matter, so she made poison into the rouge, and all the ladies who had a relationship with the scholar were poisoned to death by her rouge."
Liu Yuan asked Wei Fu: "What about the scholar?"
Wei Fu glanced at him, and said: "The scholar died with her in the end. The rouge lady had her mouth covered with lip balm. When the scholar was having a good time with her, she stained her lip balm, and the two of them fell in love with each other." They died together like this."
Hearing this, Liu Yuan couldn't help but said: "...That's really not worthwhile. It's better to let that **** scholar die by himself, she'd better live."
"Then I can't live." Wei Fu said, "She poisoned so many women, although most of them were prostitutes, but there were also girls from good families who were coaxed by scholars, according to the law, there is no escape from death. "
Lin Fei deliberately took out the file of this case, of course not only because of the rouge in the case.
There was a portrait of the scholar painted in the dossier. After opening the paper of the portrait of the scholar, the expressions of Liu Yuan and Wei Fu changed at the same time.
"This man..." After seeing the portrait of the scholar, Liu Yuan gasped immediately, "He and Han Jun and Ruan Zhan..."
Equally gentle and handsome, according to Wu's recorded figure, it can be seen that he is tall and thin.
the most important is…
仵 painted the appearance of this person when he died: he was wearing a toga with long sleeves in the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, his face was covered with a layer of powder, and his mouth was stained with the blush of a rouge lady.
The romantic scholar on the drawing paper is really too similar to the Han Jun he saw that day.
