Daming King of Punishment

You must know that they had asked Mrs. Hou about this matter before, but she didn't have such a reaction at that time!

Bai Zhuo looked at Song Wuya in astonishment, and asked again suspiciously: "Ma'am, do you think it's really okay to hide this from us at this time? It is said that every time this house is haunted, it is You personally ordered them to clean up the house themselves."

It is impossible for Bai Zhuo to forget this point, Mrs. Hou definitely knew about this matter, she pretended not to know at this moment, it is really hard to say what the reason is.But she obviously wanted to hide something from the two of them, at least what she knew, and she was afraid that Bai Zhuo would ask further questions, so she pretended not to know, so as to get away with it.

Bai Zhuo's words were so firm, Madam Hou's face changed, just as they thought, this Madam Hou wanted to skip this question and not answer.

"Who wants to say that their home is haunted?" Mrs. Hou admitted helplessly that she knew about it: "But the ghosts are clearly deceiving people, and there must be people who want to speak out by fooling around, so as to make Lord Hou Blame the ghost for his death. But Lord Hou’s death has nothing to do with fooling around! My lord, please learn from me!"

Hearing this, Song Wuya's heart couldn't help but move.

Earlier, when Situ Wen was at the inn, she said that she felt that Mrs. Hou was definitely not the murderer.Right now, Madam Hou's words just seemed to verify what Situ Wen said, making Song Wuya feel that this case had nothing to do with her.But all of a sudden, she lost all suspicion, but Song Wuya was always uneasy.

Chapter 120 The butler is gone

?Chapter 120 The housekeeper is gone

If Mrs. Hou is the murderer, she will definitely try her best to clear herself of the suspicion.After all, with the testimony of those servants before, Song Wuya felt that Mrs. Hou was still very suspicious.

This house is haunted, and many servants have linked this case with the haunting of this house. This is completely a good chance to get rid of the crime.But Mrs. Hou did not do this. She told Bai Zhuo that she did not believe that the house was haunted, nor did she believe that Lord Hou was killed by a ghost. This is enough to show that the possibility that she is not the murderer is very high.

Although Song Wuya was very surprised by this, there was an exception, he didn't draw a conclusion on this, and decided that Mrs. Hou was not the murderer.

There are many factors to pay attention to when committing a crime. First of all, the motive of committing the crime and the time of committing the crime must be satisfied.

There shouldn't be too much doubt that Lord Hou died at night, so those who knew Lord Hou lived here that night must be the most suspicious.

Among them, Mrs. Hou is counted as one, and the maid who served Lord Hou is also counted as one. Other people who know about it are all suspects.

But there are so many people in the Hou Mansion, it is really difficult to judge from this point.Because everyone in this Hou's mansion has a chance.Just like when they discovered that this house was haunted before, someone passed by and found that the house was lit.This is enough to show that anyone who passes by here can see Lord Hou living in this house.

Especially the person who pretends to be a ghost, he will definitely pay attention to this place, even if he is not a murderer, he will always pay attention to this place.

And if the murderer's purpose is to kill Lord Hou, then he knows Lord Hou very well, and he knows all the actions of Lord Hou.

Bai Zhuo's questioning also reached a deadlock at this time, as if there was nothing left to ask.

"Madam, please rest assured. As imperial envoys of the imperial court, we will not believe the ghost story. This case must be committed by people. Although we don't know who the murderer is yet, I think we can bring him to justice." He was found out." As for the theory of ghosts, Bai Zhuo originally half-believed, but after investigating each case with Song Wuya, he already understood the theory of ghosts, and it was completely nonsense.

Now that Mrs. Hou said this worriedly, Bai Zhuo naturally wanted to express their position, and he was also very confident in catching the murderer.

"As I said just now, every time there are bloody fingerprints in the house, Madam tells her servants to clean the room thoroughly. I don't know if Madam has noticed that when the servants are cleaning the room, can they find anything unusual in the room? Something?" Bai Zhuo was still asking the question just now, he knew that this haunting must have a deep connection with this case.

Just as he asked the question, Madam Hou frowned: "I didn't find anything either."

As soon as she heard her words, she felt a little insincere, Bai Zhuo was not a fool, and immediately heard that there was something wrong with her words.

"Mrs. Hou, do you want us to find the murderer? Or are you afraid that we will find the murderer?" Bai Zhuo asked directly this time.

He wanted to find the murderer as soon as possible, but this Mrs. Hou's speech has always been hesitant.He had already said before that if he wanted to solve the case, he had to know everything.He also warned Mrs. Hou not to hide from them, but not long after he said this, Mrs. Hou behaved like this again.

"Of course it is to find and catch the real culprit. Master Hou must not be allowed to die in such an unexplained manner." Mrs. Hou replied very simply, she hoped that Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo would catch the culprit.

"Since Madam wants us to catch the murderer, don't hide anything from us. The reason why we ask these questions is naturally because after investigating the scene, we got clues from it. The questions you answered are very It may provide us with important clues to find the murderer." Bai Zhuo said seriously after hearing this.

Madam Hou lowered her head slightly, as if apologizing for what she just said.

After a little hesitation, without waiting for Bai Zhuo to repeat the question just now, Mrs. Hou took the initiative to say: "They indeed found something in that room."

"Oh?" Seeing the effect, Bai Zhuo immediately asked, "What did you find? What kind of things?"

"Some women's things!" Madam Hou finally confessed this time.

But what she said made Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo a little surprised, they both wondered: "Women's things?"

After being puzzled by these words, Song Wuya suddenly asked in confusion: "Isn't it normal for women's things to appear?"

The reason why he thought so was because this room was originally used for other women to live in, and there were some women's clothes left in the room.

It is obviously a very normal thing for women's things to appear in this room.

"My lord doesn't know that the room was cleaned before the haunting. But after that, there was nothing in the room. But I found some women's clothes in the closet, even on the bedside cabinet. There are also things for dressing up." Madam Hou explained Song Wuya's confusion, so it turned out to be such a thing.

After understanding what was going on, Song Wuya immediately remembered that when they entered the crime scene, they saw a woman's shoe in the room and the women's clothes in the closet.

Thinking of this, Song Wuya immediately asked: "After the incident, those women's clothes in the inner closet at the scene should have suddenly become more?"

Madam Hou nodded, confirming what Song Wuya said.

This is great, originally Song Wuya thought that the clothes in this closet should come from the woman who lived in this house before, but now it seems that this is not the case.

As for the shoes they found under the bed, there is no need to ask too much about it, the shoes are the shoes of the maid in the Hou's mansion.As for why it appeared here, maybe someone hid it here, or someone put it here on purpose.

Song Wuya didn't ask about the shoes, but continued to ask about the clothes: "Then Madam is familiar with these clothes, do you know where they come from? Are they the clothes of the maids in the house?"

"No!" Madam Hou shook her head with certainty.

"Madam, are you sure?" Bai Zhuo also felt that this matter was very important, and immediately confirmed it to Madam Hou after she shook her head in response.

At this point, Mrs. Hou nodded with certainty and said: "Yes, after this incident, I also suspected that it was the maids in the mansion playing tricks. I searched all the wardrobes of everyone, but I didn't find any clothes missing. So these clothes are definitely not It’s a servant girl in our house.”

The sudden appearance of these things in the room is suspicious in itself, and they are some plain women's clothing. No matter who passes through these clothes, it is almost possible to judge the identity of the owner of these clothes.After Madam Hou saw these clothes, the first thing she thought of was the maids in her mansion.

So she investigated the wardrobes of these maids, but the result was very certain that these clothes did not come from these maids.

After getting this answer, Song Wuya fell into doubts, he didn't know the origin of these clothes.

While thinking about it, he said: "These clothes are not the clothes of the maidservant. Could it be the clothes worn by the women who were brought back by Lord Hou before?"

"No!" Mrs. Hou still said with certainty.

"Madam can be sure of this?" Song Wuya was very surprised, after all these women were brought back by Lord Hou, Madam Hou may not know their details.

And because of these things, Mrs. Hou had quarreled with Master Hou several times. How could Mrs. Hou pay attention to the clothes these women were wearing?

"Then, Madam knows these women very well?" Song Wuya followed the words and asked again.

As soon as he said this, Mrs. Hou suddenly stopped.Seeing that Mrs. Hou didn't say anything straightforwardly like just now, Song Wuya wanted to continue asking.

Before he could open his mouth, he heard a woman's voice yelling in a hurry: "Ma'am, the housekeeper is gone."

Looking back, this is the maid who was ordered by Situ Wen to go to the housekeeper just now.

The maid had been gone for quite a while, she didn't expect to come back only now, and she chose to pick at this juncture.

As soon as she heard that the butler had disappeared, Madam Hou's expression changed immediately.

"He disappeared, so where did he go?"
