Thousands of doors and thousands of snowflakes float, a little silent tile ditch, all like jade dust to eliminate more accumulation, half into the ice knot still flow, the light contains the dawn of the Qing Tianyuan, the breeze around the royal building. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At night, the snow fell more and more, and the next morning when I woke up, it was already a large white expanse. The streets that were bustling yesterday were suddenly deserted, and every house was closed to resist the cold brought by the first snow of winter.

The tawny roofs, the crumbling walls, the scattered and uneven fields, the dry and bare branches, the unkempt haystacks...... It is covered in pure snow, and it is extremely beautiful and quiet.

The endless plum ridge is like a layer of light white veil, but there is a faint little red plum like cinnabar sprinkled on the white veil, and the wind and bones proudly bloom in the snow. The dazzling but temperatureless sunlight occasionally shines through the thick clouds on the frozen lake, refracting a rippling silver light, which is unusually beautiful!

There are no merchants on the road, and the always noisy and lively Wufu Building is also leisurely.

Boss Xiao, who likes to hide in Wufu Building and drink alone at the table, walked out at this moment with great rarity. She wore a plain velvet embroidered jacket, a brocade fur cloak over her shoulders, and small brown cowhide boots creaked in the snow by the lake. Under the hood, her face was snow-white, but her eyes were surprisingly black, as calm as the still water of a deep pool.

After walking for half an hour, the snow gradually fell on her boots and the hem of her cloak. Ah Tong, who had been following her, couldn't help but persuade: "It's freezing outside, be careful of the wind and cold, let's go back and rest early!"

Boss Xiao raised his wrist lightly, picked up the magnolia hairpin that was about to slip off his sideburns, and said lazily: "It's rare to enjoy such a clean and clean beauty, but you are making noise on the side." ”

Ah Tong said with a smile: "Wait for two more snowfalls, and all the plum blossoms on the mountain will bloom, and then I'm afraid that I won't be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery?"

Boss Xiao said with some interest: "I'm afraid that those conceited talents who are full of wealth will come to smell the fragrance." At that time, a group of people in Wuyang, the originally sweet and light plum fragrance will also be smoked with a sour smell. ”

Ah Tong sneered, covered his mouth and chuckled: "Boss, if those sour people know that you think they are sour, I'm afraid they won't come to take care of our Wufu Lou's business again." ”

Boss Xiao himself chuckled and said, "That's it, that's it, I think they are sour, they may not dislike us full of copper smell!"

While the two were talking and laughing, an elderly woman staggered to the lake with a bucket of water. The villagers who live by the lake are accustomed to taking water from the lake, whether it is washing or drinking.

Although a heavy snowfall last night temporarily froze the surface of the lake, the bottom of the lake has been flowing because the water is the same as the river. The ice crust on the surface of the lake is so thin that it can be broken to get water with just a light tap.

Ah Tong helped Boss Xiao Yingying to turn around, and was about to go to Wufu Building, but the old village woman who heard the sound let out a terrible and frightened scream: "Ah...... There are dead people!"

The two turned back in surprise, but saw the old village woman crawling out of the distance. The snow was already slippery and slippery, and in her eagerness, she stumbled and fell on her heels.

In just an instant, the old village woman quickly got up again. didn't care about slapping the mud and snow on his body, and hurried away in horror. All that was left was the bucket she had thrown down in her horror, still whirling around on the ice.

Boss Xiao held Ah Tong's arm and came to the lake with curiosity on his face. When I looked closely, I saw that under the crystal clear ice, there were two bulging sacks overlapping and frozen at the bottom of the lake. One of the strips of cloth that bound the mouth of the sack was half loose, revealing half of the head, which was disheveled.

Hidden in the unkempt hair was a pair of gray-white cloudy eyeballs, which stared motionlessly at the dark sky above through the swaying hair like aquatic plants, looking eerie.

Yizhuang!

Next to Zhou Tianhe's corpse, there were two more male corpses that had just been salvaged from the lake. Although they were all soaked and deformed, it is not difficult to see that one of them was as thin as a monkey and the other was as black and fat as a bear.

These two people are somewhat famous in this small county town, so everyone in the yamen present recognized them at a glance. It was Wang Shengrong, the owner of the silk shop who had been missing for a few days, and Ma Cailiang, who specialized in lending.

Hua Lianyue hugged the hollow entwined lotus pattern copper hand warmer that Xiaoshuang forced into her, and sighed: "Yesterday, I suspected that these two people were the suspects who killed Zhou Tianhe, but I didn't expect them to be companions of Huangquan Road." However, the three of them are the masters of their whereabouts on weekdays, and none of the three families suspected that their disappearance was due to an accident. ”

The old servant had silently removed their clothes and began to carefully examine their rotten corpses, which had been soaked like steamed buns.

The abdomen of these two corpses was already high and bulging, and the old man took out a sharp knife and touched it lightly, and Ma Cailiang's stomach cracked directly. All the highly rotten internal organs in the abdominal cavity flowed out, and a foul rancid smell instantly filled the room.

Despite being mentally prepared, Hua Liyue was still smoked so that her stomach and intestines tumbled, and her already plain little face became without a trace of blood. Huo Lianjue glanced at her and said lightly: "Don't get in the way here, go outside and see what clues are on the sacks and stones that contain them." ”

"Okay!" Hua Lianyue knew that she couldn't help, so she obediently retreated.

The stones are of the very ordinary kind, and they can be found everywhere on the streets. On the day of the market, some villagers will carry a stone to occupy a position. Hua Liyue glanced at it for a few moments and ignored the past, she focused all her attention on the two sacks.

She crouched down and picked up the sack with a stick to take a closer look. This is an ordinary sack, which is used by shops, cargo ships, and freight trucks. Because of the long immersion in the lake water, there are some aquatic plants outside the sack.

As she watched, her eyes lit up, and she held the sack up to the not-so-bright sunlight, and she saw some gray-black granular debris in the cracks in the corners of the sack. "Go find a clean bowl. "These debris are very inconspicuous, and if you use something next to you, I am afraid that it is easy to lose them.

Where are the bowls in Yizhuang?

Xiaoshuang searched for a long time, snatched the half-broken bowl from the black dog who guarded the door, washed it and put it in front of Hua Lianyue. Hua Liyue carefully poured these strange crumbs into the broken bowl, the white bowl was lined with gray and black crumbs, which was extremely eye-catching.

"Come and see, what is this?"

So all the people of the yamen gathered around, and the broken bowls passed through them one by one. An elderly catcher glanced at it, then patted his thigh and said categorically, "Aren't these iron filings! ”

Iron filings! The sack containing the corpse was actually filled with iron filings. Hua Lianyue's heart trembled, and a thought popped up in her mind, could it be that reckless and violent teenager was the murderer?
