Chapter 429: Confusing
There was also the distance from the washroom to the crime scene. Since they were from the s.h.i.+ family and had planned for so long, they must have avoided the surveillance cameras. However, in order to prevent their guests from getting lost today, many servants would be left behind to take charge of a certain area.
In the end, they followed the path to the crime scene and surveyed all the nearby roads that could lead to the crime scene.
The room was on the second floor. It was the room of the sixth young master of the s.h.i.+ family. The person who had eaten with them a moment ago had sent a gift to old master s.h.i.+. As he was not feeling well today, he used the excuse of returning to his room to rest.
The sixth young master had not left his room since returning from the lobby. It had been about forty minutes.
Yun recalled that he had gone to the washroom about twenty minutes after the sixth young master had left. It had taken him five minutes to walk to the washroom, and it had taken him about ten minutes to walk from the washroom to the sixth young master’s room.
No matter how detailed the arrangements were, it would take more time to hide from so many people. Therefore, Yun Xian recalled that the sixth young master had been killed before he was sent in.
Song Mian stood at the door. He had a good memory. When he pushed the door open, he stood at the front. The scene was clearly imprinted in his mind.
“s.h.i.+ Liu’s wound is a major pulmonary artery? ” Although Song Mian was asking, his tone was a statement.
There was too much blood at that time. Only the major pulmonary artery would bleed so much. He only took a glance at s.h.i.+ Liu’s condition.
He covered his lungs with one hand and reached out to the door with the other. There were signs of struggle on the ground. This type of knife wound was from the front. It was obvious that it was done by someone s.h.i.+ Liu trusted.
It was definitely not a servant.
“Yes. ” The one who answered Song Mian was Yao Chengxi. “The servant outside s.h.i.+ Liu’s room was also sent out by him. He was very irritable today because he was sick. He didn’t allow any servants to get close to him. Because of this, he lost his temper. ”
Tang Zhiyu went to look for Tang Suran. Yao Chengxi and Chang Tao Stayed behind as notaries and personally checked some details.
Although they didn’t study medicine or criminal investigation, at least they had some common sense and had experienced many things.
Therefore, there was no one around s.h.i.+ Liu at the time of the murder.
Song Mian nodded and left the room, returning to the lobby. At this time, Yun Nian had already drawn the characters and handed them to everyone in the s.h.i.+ family.
Everyone looked at it and was puzzled. Their reactions told Yun Nian that this person did not exist!
Even Song Mian took it over and looked at it. She shook her head at Yun Nian and said, “There is no such person in the s.h.i.+ family. ”
In fact, seeing everyone’s reactions, Yun Nian had a guess. If there really was such a person, even if one person could deceive her through acting, it was impossible for so many people to deceive her through acting.
Now, even Song Mian was so certain that she told Yun to think about it. Then, it was impossible for the s.h.i.+ family to have such a person.
“All the women we invited today are here, ” First Madam s.h.i.+ added.
“What about this set of clothes? ” Yun did not give up after thinking about it. She drew the clothes and colored them, but she could not tell the brand at a glance.
“Can you show it to me again? ” At this moment, s.h.i.+ Youxuan asked.
She studied fas.h.i.+on design, so she had the deepest understanding of such things. Sometimes, she didn’t need to see the logo. She just needed to see the layout and style to be able to guess what brand it was.
This was the doing of the s.h.i.+ family, and everyone knew it. s.h.i.+ Youxuan wouldn’t want to protect an unknown criminal. This time, she was targeting her cousin, and it might be her turn next time.
Of course, she would not hide it. Moreover, she had always wanted to get closer to Yunxiang, so this was a good opportunity.
She took only a few glances and reported the brand of this set of equipment. The online search was indeed the same as what s.h.i.+ Youxuan had said.
However, the few ladies of the s.h.i.+ family were extremely sure that they did not buy such a set of clothes. This brand was indeed good. They had patronized the house, but they did not have this set.
The s.h.i.+ family was so big that it was impossible for them to search the house. Even if they were to search the house, who would be the one to do it? Could it be that the s.h.i.+ family’s study did not have any secrets that belonged to them?
Unless the police were invited, it would not be good for anyone to search the house in private. The s.h.i.+ family was still very big. How much time would it take to search an ordinary set of clothes?
“We won’t search other places. Let’s take a look at the closets of the uncles, aunts, young masters, and young ladies, ” Tang Zhiyu suddenly said.
“What do you mean? ” The First Lady of the s.h.i.+ family asked.
“I just want to know if the murderer is trying to frame someone, ” Tang Zhiyu answered, “If he is trying to frame someone, then this set of clothes is likely to be in a place that is more conspicuous and easy to find. If it is not easy to find, then his purpose is not to frame someone. ”
If it wasn’t to frame someone, then there was another reason. This matter also involved Tang Suran, so Tang Zhiyu’s request was reasonable.
Old Master s.h.i.+ agreed, while Tang Zhiyu avoided suspicion. Yao Chengyi and the other two went to the man’s wardrobe, while Chang Yuan and the other female guests went to the woman’s wardrobe.
At the same time, Song Mian began to ask about the people who had left the s.h.i.+ family’s hall during the period of s.h.i.+ Liu’s death.
Before the screamed, he had been in the hall, so he knew who had left.
However, he had questioned all the people who had left, and they all had witnesses who could not have lied.
Other than the people from the s.h.i.+ family, who else in the family could make s.h.i.+ Liu lower his guard and trust them so easily that he stabbed them in the chest?
Servants?
Song Mian rejected the idea. However, he was still cautious. He questioned all the servants and especially the person in charge of the bathroom to s.h.i.+ Liu’s room. There was no suspicious person.
Some of them did not have any witnesses, but the evidence could rule them out as accomplices.
This was a strange case. Even Song Mian found it interesting. Yao Chengxi, Chang Yuan, and the rest came back and shook their heads.
They could not find the clothes that Yun Zian had described, so the murderer was not trying to frame someone else. He was simply trying to frame Yun Zian so that Song Mian could get involved in this matter.
The murderer’s motive was unclear. All the smart people present were actually trapped.
At that moment, second master s.h.i.+’s phone rang. He took a few steps back and answered the call. He walked up to elder s.h.i.+ and said, “Dad, something happened at the company. I have to resolve it personally. ”
The s.h.i.+ family’s daily income, Gao Ding, was taken over by the chief branch. On the surface, the second branch was in charge of the clothing company.
“If we don’t go for a day, we won’t collapse. ” Elder s.h.i.+’s att.i.tude was very firm. “If we don’t find the murderer, no one will be able to leave. ”
“Dad, how long are you going to keep us trapped like this? If you can’t find us in a few days or even a few months, are you going to keep us trapped? ” Second Master s.h.i.+ was very dissatisfied. He glanced at Yun and thought for a moment. “In my opinion, why don’t we call the police and deal with it? ”
“Shut up! ” Old Master s.h.i.+’s sharp gaze landed on Second Master s.h.i.+.
Everyone thought that he was afraid of Song Mian and didn’t dare to let Yun think about being exposed?
Why didn’t he think about who the real culprit was? Wasn’t the s.h.i.+ family the one who lost face in the end?
