The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 260: To Die

After a while, on March 15th, Siqi got up early in the morning for a simple wash and sat in front of the dressing table, stunned and lost in thought.

Because she was the big maid next to Yingchun and usually had a hot temper, no one dared to criticize her. Regardless of whether they were happy or not, they could only share her work separately.contemporary romance

So it wasnt until noon when Xiuju saw that lunchtime was up. Just as she was about to enter the room to inquire, she saw a woman flying outside, it was Qiutong, the eldest maid in Madam Xing's room.

Is Siqi in the room?

Qiutong asked Xiuju, but she had already burst in. Seeing Siqi stunned in front of the dressing table, she doubted and said, "Why? Have you already known about the matter of your cousin Pan You'an?

Siqi originally regarded Qiutong as if she were nothing, but after hearing the words Pan Youan, she suddenly jumped up and raised her arms, glaring at her eyes, posing as if she wanted to eat people. "Don't mention him to me, he is him and I am me. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. Even if he suddenly dies someday, you don't need to tell me!

Qiutong choked and stared at her. They had been friends for a long time, so simple words like these shouldnt make her angry. But Qiutong's temper has grown a lot since she climbed into Jia She's bed.

Therefore, seeing the tone and expression of Siqi, she also stamped her feet, turned her head in anger, and left.

Siqi didn't mean to stop her at all, but Xiuju couldn't let Qiutong leave like this. She quickly joked and said, "Qiutong, why did you just come and leave now?

Hmph~ Didn't she just say

Qiutong stamped her foot and while speaking to Xiuju, she loudly shouted to Siqi, "Even if Pan You'an is dead, there's no need to come over and tell her that I'm here to report his funeral, so there's no need to waste my saliva anymore."

You... What are you talking about?!

Before Qiutong could finish speaking, Siqi stumbled over and held onto the door frame, trembling, saying, "You said you... came... came to..."

Seeing her appearance, Qiutong felt a bit more pitiful in her heart. She slowed down her tone and advised, "You should also restrain your grief and accord with inevitable changes. There are unexpected events and misfortunes. Who could have thought that Pan You'an was killed by someone for no reason?

Putong~

Before the words fell, Siqi fell to the ground and blacked out!

Siqi

Sister Siqi

Xiuju and Qiutong rushed forward and helped her up with all their hands and legs. They both stroked her chest and pinched her philtrum and after a lot of twists and turns, Siqi finally regained her consciousness.

You

As soon as Siqi woke up, she desperately grabbed Qiutong's wrist and forced a smile, saying, "You were just joking with me, weren't you? He was fine... He was so healthy

Although Qiutong was not shrewd, she had some experience in matters related to men and women. Looking at her actions, she immediately guessed that apart from their relationship as cousins, they were afraid of having some other involvement.

Originally, she would be gossiping about such secrets, but now that Pan You'an has lost his life, it was not easy to immediately inquire.

So she only shook her head and said with a bitter smile, "I would like to joke with you, but this matter... I heard that the Second Master just sent Butler Zhou to take care of it

Pan You'an was the servant who worked beside Jia Lian. Both parents were in charge of other villas, so when he suddenly encountered an accident, it was natural for Jia Lian to send someone to take care of him.

How about the murderer? So he... Was he killed by someone?

Seeing Siqi seemed to have lost her soul, she muttered, while Xiuju was waiting to comfort her for a few words. However, she suddenly took advantage of her strength and stood up, running out without saying a word.

Xiuju suddenly became anxious and quickly chased after her, shouting, "Sister Siqi, what are you going to do

I'll go find Butler Zhou and go with him to collect the body of Youan!

Without looking back, Siqi left behind such a sentence and quickly walked away, with Xiuju catching up a few steps behind. Seeing that she couldn't catch up, she stomped her feet and went back to find Jia Yingchun to report the situation.

Siqi listened to the news and rushed to the front, intercepting Zhou Rui outside the east gate.

Originally, when Zhou Rui heard her say that she was going to collect Pan You'an's body, he shook his head like a rattling drum.

However, he couldn't fight against the name of her grandmother from Wang Baoshans family as a pretext. Although the Wang Baoshans family was in the mansion and didnt have much real power, she was after all the housekeeper of Madam Xing's companion, and no matter what, he had to give face.

Thinking of Siqi and Pan You'an again, they were at least cousins and could barely be said to be family members.

Therefore, Zhou Rui finally allowed it and only instructed Siqi to follow closely and not act recklessly.

Siqiwas very satisfied and asked for a carriage in the name of Jia Yingchun from the external steward, so she and Zhou Rui rushed to Wumiao Street in the southeast of the inner city.

When they arrived at an alley entrance at the east end of Wumiao Street, they saw that many people had already been surrounded inside and outside.

Zhou Rui had just gotten out of the carriage and was about to instruct the others to clear the way ahead when he saw a tall and plump figure who had already ignored him and squeezed in.

This girl!

Zhou Rui stamped his feet anxiously, disregarding the manners of the wealthy butler, and quickly led someone to chase after her.

Seeing the inner circle, he heard that Siqi had already started to wail inside, shouting the name of Pan You'an in a bloody voice.

Zhou Rui, who could manage affairs outside, was naturally a character like a human spirit. Upon hearing this news, he had already guessed 70-80 percent and couldn't help but regret not bringing Siqi over.

But now it was too late to regret it. He could only man up and put on the look of a big shot, asking, "Who's in charge here?

A few constables were originally there, and it was not surprising that the family members of the rare son were crying for the deceased. What was strange was that this woman was even half taller than the man!

As he was pondering who could subdue a woman like this, he saw Zhou Rui holding his back and playing an official tone there. He immediately knew that this was the arrival of the main leader.

So the leading Wanping County constable, Jiang Laoqi, quickly approached and smiled, saying, "May I ask if you are from Rongguo Mansion?

Zhou Rui nodded and said yes without looking at Jiang Laoqi. His eyes wandered through the alley for a while before finally resting on Pan You'an's body. He frowned and said, "What the hell is going on here? Has the murderer ever been caught?

To be a constable in the capital, it was necessary to deal with such wealthy slaves. Jiang Laoqi naturally knew that they were the most respectable, but he didnt necessarily care so much about the lives of the people below.

So he respectfully said, "Report back to you, after I carefully inspected the scene, it should be a case of murder and robbery.

That little brother probably leaked something yellow and white somewhere and was followed around here, using a blunt tool to smash his skull and die.

After that, the killer searched for valuable things on him again.

Speaking of this, he bowed again and said, "Excuse me, are you planning to bring the body back or let us transport it back to the Yamen for further examination?

In fact, according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, corpses that died abnormally were generally temporarily preserved by the Officials. However, the rules were dead, but people were alive. This law naturally became meaningless in front of the wealthy and noble.

However, Zhou Rui was taken off the topic by him, so he temporarily forgot to inquire about the true culprit and began to ponder the aftermath of the body.

But Siqi on the side refused to give up and hoarsely pursued, "Where's the murderer?! The murderer who killed Youan, when can you catch him?

Don't worry, Miss.

Jiang Laoqi immediately patted his chest and said, "I will do my best to find out the real culprit as soon as possible.

What he said was decisive, but how could Siqi fail to see that everything he said was false and that he didn't actually promise anything?

She disregarded his sayings, scolded him, and said, "I don't want you to go all out. I just need you to tell me when will the real culprit be discovered and avenged for You'an?"

So

Jiang Laoqi's face showed some awkwardness. If ordinary people had asked him about this, he might have been full of words and would have fooled them before speaking.

But in the face of these wealthy family slaves, Jiang Laoqi didnt dare to act so recklessly.

After a moment of hesitation, he carefully bowed to Zhou Rui and said, "May I ask who you are?

Zhou Rui casually said, "Our Second Lady's intimate maid, and also Pan You'an's sister.

He didn't want to reveal that Pan You'an had an affair with Siqi, so he only said it was his sister and didn't say that they were cousins.

The Second Lady from your Mansion?!

When Jiang Laoqi heard this, his eyes lit up and he quickly put on a bitter melon face and said, "Miss, I'm telling you that your Second Young Lady is about to marry off to the Elder Master Sun's house. You're her intimate maid, but you are begging us instead of Lord Sun. Whats the use of this?
