Chapter 406 Seeing through Sakura (3)
Princess was discouraged: "Perhaps, Yaoer really fell down by herself."
Ning Yue also felt that there should be a greater possibility of falling, but her heart was always beating suddenly, as if she had an intuition that this guess was wrong.
She came to the place where the incident happened, where Xuanyin was staring at Gujing with a serious face, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Have any idea?" She walked over and asked.
Xuanyin touched his chin and said, "What's the situation with you?"
Ning Yue said: "I asked Shihua, and said that Sun Yao had no feud with anyone, so it was unlikely that she was framed. Then, I also asked other servants, and said that there was no suspicious person."
"What do you think?" Xuanyin asked again.
"I, I don't know, I want to convince myself that it was an accident, but I always feel weird in my heart." Ning Yue said truthfully.
Xuan Yin squatted down, picked up the lantern and shone it on the ground, and asked Ning Yue, "Did you find anything?"
Ning Yue gave a suspicious "hmm".
Xuanyin rolled his index finger over the wet ground, looked up, and said: "When I rescued Sun Yao, Sun Yao was holding a ladle in her hand. I think she might be washing her hands, Or washing your hands."
Ning Yue's quiet gaze swept over the water stains on the ground: "So, she spilled water on the ground."
"It seems to be true, but who washes their hands and washes out such a large water stain?" Xuanyin handed the lantern to Ning Yue, twisted up a bucket of water, and poured it down on the other side of the well. He splashed it very evenly, but the water stains formed were not as big as the one on this side.
Ning Yue instantly understood what Xuan Yin meant, lowered her voice and said, "Did someone splash the water on purpose? Why?"
Xuanyin's eyes faintly flickered with a glimmer of darkness. He is no longer that playful and flirtatious young man, and his whole body is filled with a calm and introverted aura: "Wash away the footprints."
This sentence is almost a "death penalty" for this accident, which is a murder case.
But they have ruled out all motives for killing, to be exact, no one has the motive to kill Sun Yao.
Xuanyin stood up, took out a white handkerchief and wiped his hands, and said with deep eyes: "I can't figure out why Sun Yao was killed, just think about how Sun Yao was killed."
Ning Yue looked at him seriously, expecting him to make further inferences.
"It hasn't rained these days, right?"
Ning Yue nodded: "Yes."
"The ground is dry, and most people don't leave footprints when they walk, unless he came from the grass. There is more dew on the grass, and the feet are on the dirt, and the dirt and grass clippings are easy to leave in the green. It left marks on the slate floor." Xuan Yin analyzed.
"Then...are there still footprints on the grass?" Ning Yue asked.
"There are too many footprints on the grass, and many people pass by during the day, which happens to be a place to dry clothes. However, at night, if someone can come from there to commit murder, at least it shows a problem."
"what?"
"The murderer is not someone from Qingling Pavilion." Qingling Pavilion is paved with bluestone paths everywhere, and no one would purposely run around on the grass to murder Sun Yao. Xuan Yin took Ning Yue's hand and came to the grass Going up, he pointed to the wall and said, "The murderer should have come in through this wall."
This wall is higher than Xuanyin, and there is a small dog hole below it, but the dog hole is so small that only one child can climb through it, so, after the reasoning goes to this point, both of them agree that the murderer jumped over the wall came in.
"Are there any clues left on the wall?" Ning Yue asked curiously.
