The Lady Rose Petal Chapter 6

Before Wesley realized what mandala is, he listened to Howard’s question, “After the Ophelia’s death, can the incense be burned in the incense burner?”

Wesley shook his head blankly, “After my mother died, she was busy with her mother’s funeral. The things in this Buddhist hall have only been collected from her mother’s relics, and nothing else has been moved.”

Howard’s brows suddenly frowned, and there was a mandala in the Yueyue Pavilion and a mandala in the Buddhist hall. Could it be the same murderer?

Howard looked at Harrison, “You have searched the Buddhist hall before, why didn’t you notice it?”

Earlier, although Wesley was holding Walter’s body and not letting it be inspected, the land related to the Ophelia was still allowed in. Harrison wiped a sweat. “At that time, the government officials came to search. abnormal.”

Ruby hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: “The mandala is almost tasteless after it burns out, except that the color of the incense is different. If you don’t know some medical experience, ordinary people can’t find it out.”

Howard glanced at Ruby, and then held back what he wanted to say, before asking Wesley, “Are all the people in the house gathered?”

Howard arrived at the mansion yesterday afternoon, and it took a lot of effort to examine the body. There will be time to summon the whole mansion in the future. According to the current situation, most people in the mansion have a crime environment, but the motive needs to be investigated.

Wesley hurriedly said: “It’s all gathered, and we are all waiting in the flower hall at this moment.”

“Take the incense ash away.” After giving Harrison instructions, Howard said to Wesley: “You lead the way.”

Ruby didn’t follow up at this moment. She was doing the work. The autopsy was inspected for evidence, but there were very few suspects. She turned the incense ash in the oven again, and saw that the amount of incense ash was small, and she didn’t know what she thought of. I went to the surrounding windows and looked around. As expected, a broken window paper was found on the northwest corner of the place where the Ophelia copied the scriptures.

Harrison followed and saw the broken hole with black stains that had been smoked on it.

Ruby said: “When the man came to know that the Ophelia was copying the scriptures, he first used drugs, but he did not completely stun the Ophelia. There was no trauma on the Ophelia’s body, which shows that the murderer had not used force. He was mostly angered at first. I missed the Ophelia, and then watched the Ophelia become ill, but it saved him trouble.”

After speaking, Ruby asked again: “My lord, is there a medicine storehouse in the mansion?”

Harrison hurriedly said, “It should be there.”

Most of the Houmen family had pharmacies to prepare for emergencies, and said thinly: “Datura is expensive, and this medicine is not used for common diseases. If you buy it specifically, it will probably attract attention, but if it is in the Chinese medicine storehouse With this medicine, it will be much easier for the murderer to start.”

After a pause, Ruby went on to say: “With the use of mandala, the murderer’s assault methods are a bit clumsy. This drug is not difficult to find, and once the drug is discovered, the so-called ghost killing is no longer valid. What is the murderer still pretending to be an Ophelia?”

Harrison heard the words and ordered the clerk, “Go and ask if there is a pharmacy in the mansion.”

The ya chap was ordered to ask immediately. Everyone knows if there is a pharmacy. The ya chap casually asked a steward to get it right, and came back a moment later, “My lord, there is a pharmacy in the house.”

Harrison must be sure, “Go, and see Lord Hou.”

Now that Marquis Wu Zhao is in the mansion, such a thing must be told to Marquis Wu Zhaohou, and Ruby then followed Harrison to the flower hall of the mansion.

Just before walking to the Flower Hall, I saw that the room was full of people standing in the dark, all of them were the masters of the palace.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard Howard asked in a deep voice, “Where is the lady?”

Ruby swept the hall. The second wife and Xavier that he had seen last night were there, followed by Wesley and another woman. The woman was also followed by a seven or eight-year-old boy who wanted to be the son of the third wife and Wesley. Standing Zheng Wen’an and his wife, but at the front, there was only a tall woman of fifteen or sixteen years old. Looking at the profile, Ruby felt that this goddess was tall and beautiful, and she thought that she was about to marry the second highness. Miss Ophelia Zheng Yunni.

“In response to Lord Hou, my mother is seriously ill, and it is not convenient to come out to meet guests at the moment.”

Zheng Yunni has an elegant voice. Although she is a woman, she is still a junior, but she has an important position in the family.

Howard frowned slightly and turned to look at the embroiderer next to him. The embroiderer seemed to have investigated the people in the Ophelia. He leaned forward and said something in the ear of Howard. Howard’s frowning brows were slightly loose, but it was again. Did not ask.

“The deaths of the Ophelia and Walter must be known to you. It was difficult to determine whether this case was a homicide before, but now it can be concluded that both of them were murdered and killed. Opportunity to commit crimes.”

These words made everyone slightly discolored, Zheng Yunni said: “Honor, the night when grandmother died, the night when my second uncle died, all of us were at the place where our grandmother stopped, and we can all witness each other. “

The others nodded, and Howard looked at Zheng Yunni with a gloomy expression.

Zheng Yunni’s posture is extremely straight, she has something to rely on, and the fear of Howard is not even as great as Wesley. After all, if she becomes the second prince, she does not need to bow down to see Howard. And everyone knows that the current Emperor Jianhe dotes on the son of the imperial  c0ncubine, and if the second Royal Highness is registered as the prince, there may be Howard kneeling on her day.

At this moment, Harrison entered the Flower Hall, walked to Huo Wei Building and whispered a few words. Huo Wei Building stared at him. The next moment Ruby looked at Ruby. Ruby walked to the entrance of the hall and did not enter again. At this moment, Huo Wei Building looked , The other people who were attracted looked over, and when they saw a beautiful woman standing outside the hall, everyone’s expressions changed.

After hearing Howard’s question again, “Who is in charge of the Fuzhong Pharmacy?”

At this time, Wesley stepped forward, “Going back to Lord Hou, you are in charge of you.”

Howard took a deep look at him and then at Harrison. Harrison beckoned Wesley and made him walk out of the hall. Without knowing what he said in a low voice, Wesley changed his expression: “I remember. , This medicine is indeed in the library, but the key to the medicine library is with me on weekdays. Without my key, the medicine library cannot be opened.”

Harrison engraved, “Thank you, Sanye, quickly send someone to get the key, and I will take someone to the mansion to have a look at it later.”

Wesley beckoned to be with him, and the man turned and left after giving orders. In the hall, Huo Wei said: “From now on, everyone will enter the hall in turn. I have something to ask.”

Howard got up and went to the side hall. Father Fu and Harrison followed. Only the embroiderer was left in the flower hall to watch. Ruby was conscious of his low status. He just stood outside the door and waited. But soon, Father Fu followed the side hall. Come out and beckon her, “Boy girl, come...”

Ruby was a little surprised, and entered the side hall under the gaze of the Zheng family.

As soon as she stood still, Zheng Yunni walked in, Howard sat coldly on the main seat, and Father Fu and Harrison stood around, but he was not the one who asked.

Father Fu smiled and said: “Miss, dare to ask where were you the night the Ophelia died?”

Zheng Yunni has a beautiful appearance and elegant demeanor. You can tell with a frown and a smile that she has an excellent education. She is even taller among women. She Shi Shiran is standing in the hall with her jaw raised. The question is Father Fu, she But he looked at Huo Wei Building, as if only Huo Wei Building was qualified to ask her, “That night my second uncle and grandmother had an unpleasant relationship. I went back to the yard before the New Year’s meal. In the early morning of the second day, I hurried to the Buddhist hall when I learned that my grandmother had an accident. This can be testified by my maidservant’s ink writing and painting, as can other little girls in the courtyard.”

Howard didn’t look at Zheng Yunni. He had a black jade pull finger on his left thumb. At this moment, he was playing with the black jade pull finger carelessly.

Father Fu asked again: “Where was the night when the second master had an accident?”

Zheng Yunni glanced at Father Fu, his tone was impatience, “I just said that all of us were in the grandmother’s mourning hall that night, because it was the first seven, we had to do things.”

Father Fu didn’t have the slightest smile on his face, “Everyone? Missy, have you figured it out?”

A dark color flashed through Zheng Yunni’s eyes, but he glanced at the Huo Wei Tower and was afraid to be presumptuous. “The fifth uncle and fifth aunt arrived first, and then I was followed by the second sister-in-law and Xavier, then the third aunt and Zheng. Hao, in the end it was the third uncle. The second uncle never came. We all felt weird. The third uncle sent someone to look for it. After a short time, someone came to report saying that the second uncle entered the Yueyue Pavilion with a strange look and brought the door from the inside. It’s locked up, so I shouldn’t call it...”

“I didn’t want to bother about it, but I heard that the young man said it was strange, and the second uncle must be present in the ceremonial ceremonies, so I went to the Yueyue Pavilion with other people…”

Father Fu asked: “When I go, will everyone go together?”

Zheng Yunni frowned, “No, the third uncle stayed, because the masters who did the work were still there, he wanted to entertain the masters, but in the end, the third uncle came.”

Father Fu asked again: “The eldest must make it clear that the third master came before the second master fell, or after he fell?”

Zheng Yunni furrowed his brows even more tightly, then glanced at Howard, and said restrainedly: “I don’t know, I stood in front, and everyone was terrified when something happened. The third uncle was there as soon as I turned around. I don’t even know. When did he come.”

The corners of her lips were slightly pursed, and Zheng Yunni’s jaw raised higher.

Father Fu glanced at the Huo Wei Building, then turned his head and smiled: “Well, the eldest lady will ask here. After going out, let the second lady and the eldest son come in.”

Zheng Yunni glanced at Huo Wei Tower, which had never looked at her, and seemed a little dissatisfied, but after all he turned around and walked out.

As soon as she left, Father Fu sighed, with a helpless smile on her face, Ruby felt a little mockery at that moment.

The second lady and Xavier walked in.

Compared with yesterday, the second lady’s complexion seemed to be worse, Xavier’s eyes kept sweeping over Ruby’s body. Howard raised his eyes at this moment, and the second lady’s expression was panic when he glanced at it.

Father Fu is still amiable, “Don’t be afraid of the second lady, just ask some simple questions. If you want to know why the second master died, you can answer all the truth.”

The second lady nodded, Xavier nervously clutched the second lady’s dress, half of her body tucked behind the second lady.

Father Fu didn’t care, but just said: “The night the Ophelia died, when did the second master leave you? How was his mood when he left?”

The second wife did not look at Father Fu or Huo Wei Building. Her gaze fell on the ground two feet in front of her, her expression dazed, and her voice was low like a mosquito, “He…he left when he was in Haishi. Is angry…”

“Have you ever said radical words?”

“He…he just said why his mother turned her back…”

Howard raised her head, and the second wife pursed her lips: “He said that his mother had told him before that he would pass on the title to him, and that he would be allowed to change his son, but this time the New Year’s handbook should be awarded for him. But his mother was lingering. He said that her mother was not keeping her promise.”

Father Fu looked serious, “What happened later?”

“Later he slammed the door and left. It was not until the next morning that we knew that his mother had an accident. We only saw him in the Buddhist hall. He looked sluggish, as if he was not awakened from a hangover. The third brother asked him where he was last night. I said that I was in the study, and my third brother said that there was no one in the study when he delivered him food and drinks, saying that he was lying, so the two quarreled, and then they reported to the officials.”

At this point, the second lady suddenly raised her eyes, because her eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, she felt a sense of weeping blood for a while, “but he will not kill, the third brother insisted that it was him, but he wanted to win the title. We handed over the mother’s paper, which shows that my mother is really ready to ask the paper to be her husband. It is the third brother who should be anxious. If someone really harms others, it shouldn’t be the husband…”

While talking, the second lady’s tears flowed down, Xavier’s mouth flattened, and she seemed to cry. At this moment, a government official appeared at the door, and Harrison hurried forward when he saw it, and listened to the government official. After saying something, quickly walked back to Howard’s side.

He said with a heavy face, “San Ye didn’t find the key to the pharmacy, saying that the key was gone.”

Howard’s frosted jade fingers stopped, and now he raised his eyes and asked: “Last night, why did Xavier say that Wesley was a bad man?”
