Chapter 49: Murderous Nursery Rhymes (13)

"Yes." Su Yun opened his voice slowly, "Maybe it's too much of a coincidence, so there is always a cloud of doubt in my heart that can't be dissipated." The suspect hadn't killed anyone before, but the murder came when the investigation into the stolen goods in the tree hole began, and it was clearly to drive us away. But the treasure has been transferred, and there is no need for the person hiding the thing to do so, so we have stepped on the murderer's bottom line. ”

"Is that the owner of the stolen goods responsible? The mysterious dart man? ”

"This is not necessarily, I said before, the stolen goods are very important to the dart people, but they can't see the light, the stolen goods appear nothing, but there is a murder case, the matter will be more complicated, and the government is bound to investigate to the end, since the stolen goods can't see the light, why do the dart people do this kind of smashing thing?"

Mingyue felt that she was still thinking too simply, and she straightened out her thoughts after he said this, "In other words, the dart man is not a murderer, the one who hides the treasure chest is not the murderer, and the murderer's purpose is not to protect the treasure chest, so what is his purpose?" She suddenly felt a headache, "It's over, there are more cases in one analysis." ”

There is still a case within a case, Mingyue feels that this kind of brain-consuming thing should be left to Su Yunkai to think about, the more she thinks about it, the more chaotic it becomes.

Su Yunkai couldn't figure out what the murderer's purpose was, what was that person hiding about?

He had already instructed the officials to find a place near the banyan tree where Ordinary De was killed, since he was hung on a tree not long after he was killed, and his blood was also coagulated, it must be in that vicinity, and presumably there will be a report from the officials soon.

Sure enough, before the two of them reached the entrance of the village, a government official came to report that they had found that place.

&&&&&

The place where Changde was killed is not bad from what Mingyue said, it is a wasteland that no one cultivates, and it was used as a place to fire porcelain, but now it is scattered with stones, and there are blood marks that cannot be ignored.

The servant found this place from the vicinity of the banyan tree along the bloodstains, the wound was in the throat, and the blood flowed a lot, spilling into a bloody path, which was not too obvious to see at night, but it showed the cruelty of the murderer.

Mingyue walked forward along the bloodstains, found a bloody beach, and looked further, there was no trace of blood, it seemed that this was the place where Changde was captured and killed. Xu has struggled, and the stones on the ground have been arched into a pit, and the rough friction marks are consistent with the injury on Changde's back.

"Uncle Chang was killed here."

Su Yunkai looked around, the weeds around him were extremely high, and if he hadn't cleared the bushes in advance when he came in just now, he thought there was no way out. He walked to the stone cave where the porcelain was half collapsed, and saw that the stone wall was slightly worn, and there were filaments hanging on it, which was the same as the careful thinking of the clothes Chang De was wearing, "This should be the place where Uncle Chang is bound." ”

Mingyue also went over to take a look, twisted the silk thread to take a look, and saw a piece of clothing the size of a fingernail hanging on it, sniffed it gently, and said, "Uncle Chang likes to drink two sips when he has nothing to do, and he often smells of wine on his body, and this fragment also has it, and the smell is almost the same." It's just strange, why was Uncle Chang dragged into such a place, but no one saw it, it wasn't dark at that time, right? ”

Su Yunkai looked around carefully, and said after a while, "Uncle Chang was not dragged in, but came in by himself." He pointed to a small puddle of half-broken porcelain in the distance, "It hasn't rained in the past few days, and this is also a wasteland, no one walks, so it's not as good as the small puddle we just encountered, which happens to be fields on both sides, and it's not strange that there is water in it, but it's not here." ”

Mingyue waited for him to continue, who wanted to do it, and saw him pause, but Lord Xu next to him added, "My lord is saying that the coachman is looking for a convenient place, and it happens to be there." ”

"Ah......" This circle is full of adult men, and she hasn't left the cabinet, Mingyue feels a little embarrassed, "So that's the case." ”

Su Yun diverted the topic and said, "The murderer shouldn't have been ambushed here a long time ago, after all, Uncle Chang's actions are unpredictable, so he may have been followed." ”

As soon as he said it, everyone present looked at him, and no one paid attention to Mingyue.

Lord Xu was puzzled, "But why does it have to be an adult's coachman?" ”

"Because his purpose is to stop me from pursuing this matter, although I don't know what he is trying to hide. Mingyue and I have always been together, Qin Fang has been in the courtyard of the house, and Bai Shui is also with other officials, only Changde is alone, and the murderer wants to kidnap him, which is the easiest, and at the same time, the least noticeable. ”

Lord Xu has a general understanding, but there is still one thing that has not been solved, "What did the Lord send someone to follow Sun He for?" The other two are not familiar with the officials, and they have never said a word, but Sun He is quite knowledgeable and has a good understanding, or is it my county student, what has caused the adults to suspect? ”

Not everyone can do it, and those who pass the exam are those with good knowledge, and they can go to the county government office every month to receive a certain amount of money and food. It is a measure taken by the imperial court to let Confucian students study with peace of mind, but if they have good knowledge, they are very likely to be admitted to the township examination in the future, and that is to be famous. Therefore, the county officials who are not too confused will have a good relationship with the students, and they will be regarded as their protégés if they become officials in the future.

Su Yunkai said, "I suspect that he has a nursery rhyme...... Wait, Daddy? Is Sun He a student? ”

The tone of his voice suddenly changed, his face was solemn, and he was nervous when he saw that Lord Xu didn't know what he had said wrong, "Yes, Lisheng." ”

Su Yunkai frowned and asked, "I remember that when we went to the county government to investigate the case, there happened to be a group of people who came to the yamen to receive money and food?" ”

Lord Xu nodded, "Yes, then Sun He is also there, but the adults were about to go out at that time, and they didn't stay, they all stepped aside to send you off." But Sun He must have recognized you, my lord, and after you left, he asked me who you were. He has a good brain, and he is also a must to recognize people. ”

When the words fell, he saw that this handsome scholar had a slight sneer on his face, and he didn't dare to squeak when he saw it.

Mingyue knew what he was thinking, and Sun He obviously recognized the group of them, but pretended not to know that day.

And...... And Sun He and Zhu Ankang Andexing are still friends who talk about everything, so it is very likely that Zhu Ankang Andexing has long known their identities.

"Your Excellency." Someone from afar came to hear it, it was Bai Shui. She stepped through the grass, went straight to Su Yunkai, and whispered in his ear. Just one sentence made Su Yun's chaotic thoughts in happiness find an outlet and began to peel off the cocoon.

When he spoke again, he was more calm and calm, "Lord Xu, find two reliable officials." ”

There was one more thing he hadn't figured out, and he just had to find out what he needed to know in the end, and he would be able to solve all his doubts.

He decided to go back and think about it again, there must be something he hadn't figured out, and he was just a bit away. Without taking two steps, Mingyue's steps slowed down, Su Yunkai looked back at her, saw her bending over and touching her shoes, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I don't know what it is." She touched the place but didn't touch the stone, frowned before she thought, grabbed his arm with one hand, stood on one foot, looked at her left foot, and on the sole of the shoe, there were some broken ceramic pieces, "No wonder it hurts so much, it turned out to be pierced into it." ”

The shoes that appeared in Su Yunkai's eyes for the third time were punctured by slag, and they were even more torn. He stood like a pine and cypress and asked her to shake off her shoes, and after a while, he saw her look up suspiciously, "You were walking around there just now like me, why are you okay?" ”

Su Yunkai then remembered, looked at the soles of his shoes, and understood at a glance, "The soles of my shoes are thick, and the general debris can't be felt, and the ground here is uneven, let alone felt." ”

Mingyue thought about it, but it made sense, and finally cleaned it up, so she felt comfortable, "I'll go and change to a thicker one next time." ”

Su Yunkai looked at her shoes again, it was indeed time to change.

Back in the village, Yang Jing had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw it from afar, he ran over. Su Yunkai looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yang Jing said, "My lord, our dart bureau was involved in this matter is really wronged, half of our dart board is gone, stay for a few more days, it is estimated that this month's wages will not be able to pay, can we be allowed to leave first?" ”

"I hope the chief dart head understands that there is a murder now, everyone is suspicious, and no one can leave until the case is solved."

Yang Jing hesitated for a moment before he said, "Actually, it's because my son's wound attacked, and there is no doctor in the village, so I'm afraid that the wound will spread and hurt my muscles and bones." ”

Only then did Su Yunkai understand the reason why he was in a hurry to leave, and said, "It just so happened that when I was poisoned before, I invited a Lang Zhong outside, and he still lives in the village, so I might as well invite him to take a look." ”

Yang Jing can't leave here, and the one who can treat this adult shouldn't be a straw bag, so he can only agree, "Then I'll take that Langzhong over." ”

Su Yunkai asked the official to go in and invite Langzhong, and when the two of them walked into the courtyard and went to the well to fetch water and wash their hands, they saw Mingyue standing there full of doubts, and they didn't know what they were thinking. Mingyue thought for a while before frowning and said, "It stands to reason that Yang An's hand has been injured for so long, even if it is very serious, it should have healed, but why did it suddenly crack?" Could it be because I was in too much of a hurry last night? ”

The two words she muttered were like clear well water pouring out, the rope in Su Yunkai's hand quietly fell off, and the bucket of water fell back into the well with a "bang", splashing half of the well.

"Mingyue, did he hurt his arm?"

Mingyue, who has always been sensitive to wounds and blood, replied without thinking about it, "That's right." ”

Su Yunkai thought for a moment and said, "Let the officials quietly call a few dart masters from the Bafang Dart Bureau...... Except for Yang An. ”

Mingyue frowned, not knowing why he was so shouting and questioning. The official didn't know either, but he passed it immediately after receiving the order, and he didn't think as much as Mingyue.
