Chapter Twenty-Eight: Ten Years of White Bones (9)

There are too many reasons to put people to death, except for impulsiveness, most of them are resentments, no matter how deep or shallow the resentment is, but rarely it will be for no reason.

But this time the deceased was a fool.

Mingyue was asked, she thought for a while before saying, "According to Yang Qianli's words, Yang Baijia has a good reputation in the village. He was raised by the villagers, and he was good for the children, so what could make others hurt him? ”

"If you find the truth about his killing, you may be able to find the murderer." This is said every time a case is investigated, and this is also the entry point for solving a long-ago mystery, but it is not an overnight thing. Su Yunkai took the county chronicle again, and he had already seen that it was half an arm's height and still had no signs, "Do you have anything to do today?" ”

Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled, "My affairs are not all assigned by adults, hurry up and see if there are any errands for me to do." ”

Su Yun smiled, "Yes, you can also take a look at the county records and the files of the past thirty years to see if there is anything suspicious." ”

Mingyue was speechless, "You have to see so much, do you do this every time you investigate a case?" ”

"It's easy to decide if it's a case."

"Lord Qin never looked at it that way before, even if he really wanted to find clues from previous years, he would all throw them to the county master. Even I have been arrested and seen twice, and you know how much Lord Qin hates the girl's house entering the yamen, but for convenience, he still instructed me to work, how lazy you say he is. ”

Su Yunkai asked, "Then don't you hate being arrested to read the file?" ”

Mingyue hurriedly waved her hand, "Of course I don't hate it, I just hate Lord Qin who doesn't do business, and I don't hate contributing to the case." I know you know what I mean, or I won't say it, but I'll beat you villain in my heart. ”

Hit the villain...... Su Yun smiled openly, he was really a straightforward person.

The two of them each took the county chronicle file and looked at it carefully, and did not continue to talk. Only occasionally when I need to take notes will I look at each other when I hold a pen, and the dossier county chronicles, which are more boring than books, don't seem to be so impatient.

When the official came to knock on the door, it was already more than half of noon, and the two of them felt empty in their stomachs, and they didn't even drink tea in the morning.

"Any clues?"

"No, what about you?"

Mingyue rubbed her eyes and said, "No." ”

It is not easy to find clues from the vast sea of books, and the two of them are not discouraged, just come back to fight after dinner. When he came out of the yamen, his face was full of bright sunlight, and Mingyue looked up and said, "It's so warm." ”

Su Yunkai saw that she was just basking in the sun, so satisfied, and said with a smile, "The sun and moon are rare in the rainy season, and there are more people on the street as soon as the sun rises." ”

The yamen is built on a wide street, which is indeed crowded with pedestrians, and it is still bustling and warm at noon.

The two of them slowed down and went back to the inner office, nourishing the mildew of the morning in the house, and it was good to bask in the sun, and they couldn't wait to stuff that warmth into their bones to keep warm.

When I entered the inner office, my body was already warm, and the top of my head was still a little hot. Su Yunkai looked up at the daylight, and was stabbed all over the eyes, and the blue light appeared in front of him instantly, and he lowered his head and slowly recovered, it seems that he really hasn't slept well in the past two days. He rubbed his eyebrows, walked a few steps and paused, "Mingyue." ”

Mingyue tilted her head, saw him thoughtful, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Su Yunkai looked up at the scorching sun again, blocked it with his hand, and the light passing through his fingers fell on his face, and there was still residual warmth, "The day Yang Baijia disappeared was June 16th, it was the scorching heat, and most people hid at home to enjoy the heat, why did he run outside?" And Yang Qianli mentioned that Yang Baijia is very timid, how could he go into the woods alone where no one usually walks? ”

Mingyue suddenly thought of a possibility and was taken aback, "Could it be that he was lured in by the murderer?" That is, he knew the murderer? Her heart suddenly hung in her throat, "He is usually with the people of Yangjia Village, he was born and raised there, and the murderer is most likely to be from Yangjia Village?" ”

Although there is no evidence, it is indeed the most likely in theory, Su Yunkai did not deny it, and nodded slightly, which made Mingyue feel a chill attacking, and she felt a cold when she stood under the bright sun. The faces of the people of Yangjia Village who I had seen that day kept flashing in my mind, but I couldn't distinguish the authenticity.

"Do you remember that I asked you, what murder weapon did Yang Baijia die from?"

"Remember, it's a blunt object."

"Combined with what I just said, if the murderer was premeditated to lure Yang Baijia into the grove, then why did he use a blunt weapon to kill him, instead of using a sharper weapon that saves trouble and effort?"

Mingyue rolled her eyes and didn't figure it out. Su Yunkai explained, "There are two explanations, one is that the sharp weapon will expose the murderer, and the other is that the murderer is in a hurry. ”

"Why the hurry?" Mingyue rolled her eyes and said, "Maybe it's Yang Baijia...... Did you see something you shouldn't see, so the murderer is in a hurry to kill it? ”

Su Yunkai finally nodded again, "So what we are looking for now should be what happened to Yang Baijia a few days before he died, especially on June 15." ”

Then I have to go to Yangjia Village again!

The case was clear, the two talked for a long time, straightened out the clues, and when they arrived at the table, the food was almost cold. Halfway through the meal, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and he stopped when he walked to the door, poked his head out from behind the door, and turned his eyes around, only then did he move his body out, and his smile spread brightly, "Brother-in-law, Miss Mingyue, why did you only eat lunch at this hour, and your stomach has been bad like this." ”

Su Yunkai asked, "Did you eat?" ”

"Eat." Qin Fang sat down and looked behind him again, "Bai Shui is not there?" ”

"Not there." Mingyue didn't feel right after answering, "You have never been able to tell Fen Huan Yi Jun."

Brother White...... Qin smiled at ease, he was the only one in the world who knew that Bai Shui was a girl, what a wonderful thing, he was still a little happy, "It's nothing, I didn't quarrel for a day, and I was very worried about it." ”

"Brother Bai has also been busy and tired in the past two days, don't keep quarreling with him."

"Oh." Qin Fang wanted to eat vegetables, but was immediately glanced at by Su Yunkai, and he immediately withdrew his hand and came back.

"That's right." Su Yunkai then remembered, put down his chopsticks and took two letters from his arms to him, "I was busy investigating the case in the morning, and I almost forgot about this." One is your father's, and the other is for the white catcher. ”

The two letters were like hot taro, so hot that Qin Fang threw them away, "Don't read it." ”

Su Yunkai lifted his chopsticks and said happily, "Then don't read it, and don't reply to the letter, so that Yan Guogong will think that you are not in the yamen, and where did you go to play, and then send someone to arrest you and go back to Kaifeng." ”

When Qin Fang heard this, he immediately obediently took back the letter, and said at the end, "But what are you doing for me?" ”

"Mingyue and I are going out in the afternoon, I don't think we can see him, you don't want to pass by him when you go back to the room, just stuff it in through the crack in the door."

Qin Fang wanted to refuse, but it seemed to be a convenient thing to think about, so he agreed and accepted the two hot taro. He saw that Bai Shui's name was not written on the letter, and he was curious, "Why did the person in Kaifeng write a letter to your brother-in-law, but you want to give it to Bai Shui?" ”

What was written in the letter was that Su Yunkai's friend in Kaifeng inquired about Baishui's brother Bai Ying, and naturally he wanted to hand it over to her, but he couldn't let Qin Fang know, so he said, "The letter that your father wrote to you was also handed over to me, but you want me to inform your father and let him write your name in the future?" ”

Qin Fang immediately refused, his father was a celebrity in the dynasty, and it was difficult to guarantee that others would not know his son's name, in case he let the gentry magistrates hold the moon again, then it would not be fun.

After lunch, Su Yunkai and Mingyue took a car to Yangjia Village, ready to ask the people back then. It's just that there is a different situation now - the person they ask is likely to be the murderer. Although reluctant to assume so, it is the most likely hypothesis.

Qin Fang was about to go back to the room to take a nap and then go outside to play, standing in front of the white water room with the letter, thinking of yesterday's incident again, and really understood what the specific explanation of the vulgar word "fragrant" was, seeing is believing...... He shook his head, and the sage book was read in vain, so that his father knew that he would have to be whipped again.

He sighed again and again, not even knowing that someone was standing in the corridor.

Bai Shui came back for lunch, and in the morning, in order to avoid Qin Fang, he left without even eating. Running around all morning, hungry, who expected to see a person in front of her room on the way back, seeing Qin Fang, she hesitated.

Qin Fang squatted down and picked up the crack in the door, gestured and felt that the letter should be able to be stuffed in, and was about to take out the letter from his arms, when he saw someone coming here. When he looked up, he saw Bai Shui's face as cold as ice slag, and his eyes were so cold that he wanted to kill, and his anger was still conveying another meaning-

Shameless villain, actually peeping at the door, phew!

He stood up and asked solemnly, "If I explain that I'm not peeking, will you believe me?" ”

"Humph!"

Qin Fang only felt that a capital injustice had slammed on his head!

Bai Shui took the key to open the lock with a stiff face, almost kicked the door open with his foot, and the door slammed into the wall, making a loud noise, "If you want to see enough." ”

Qin Fang suddenly felt insulted, and said angrily, "I'm not a shameless villain. ”

Bai Shui snorted again.

Qin let go of his anger and stuffed the letter into her hand, this touch of white water almost broke his hand, and he reacted that he was giving himself something, so he stopped his hand and eased his face. After a slight pause, and was about to thank him, he bent over her face and stared straight at her, "Even if I'm peeking, it's not your room that I want to see, it's you!" Well, it has to be positive. ”

“……”

Bai Shui's face turned from white to black in an instant, and he was about to split him when he raised his hand, Qin Xinxin, who had succeeded in teasing, laughed aloud and ran away with satisfaction, ran back to his room and immediately closed the door, and was afraid that she would break in, so he hurriedly moved the table and piled all the chairs on it, only then did he feel relieved, but he still had palpitations, otherwise how could his heart beat so hard, it was almost about to pop out!
