After sending away the two old foxes of the Zhou family, Wen Qiran's face softened: "Qi Niang, you go to the front yard with your father, Nie Zhutou seems to have found something." ”

Wen Qiniang was slightly stunned, and then happily agreed, and she couldn't take care of breakfast, she suddenly found that Wen Qiran had changed a lot, if anyone asked him about business before, he would definitely walk away impatiently, he insisted that it was a serious matter for the women to manage the inner house well, and it was best not to talk too much about the outside affairs, which meant that you couldn't help, a waste of tongue, and just now he took the initiative to ask Wen Qiniang to discuss things together, which was ridiculous even if he imagined it before.

Nie Zhutou looked tired but couldn't hide his excitement and appeared in front of the two.

"What did you find?" Wen Qiran stood up excitedly and asked.

"Back to my lord, I measured the speed of the water overnight, and then searched in the direction of the river, it was too dark, although we did not find the location of the crime, but we found a witness.

Wen Qiran's eyes lit up and said, "Bring it on!" ”

An old man in a sixtieth armor walked up tremblingly, his hair was full of silver threads, and he rubbed his eyes and glanced at Wen Qiran: "Li Jufu, a grass citizen, knocks to see your lord." ”

"The old man is quick and exempt, give me a seat." Wen Qiran hurriedly said.

"Tell me what you saw yesterday." Nie Zhutou urged.

"Yesterday on the fishing boat, I heard someone making noise, but I couldn't hear it for a while, and I couldn't hear it when I was old, and I couldn't hear what was really said." Li Jufu said slowly.

"Have you ever seen anyone arguing?" Wen Qiran asked eagerly, if it could be confirmed that it was Zhou County's order who quarreled at that time, then it would be certain that the surrounding area was the location of the crime.

Li Jufu thought for a while and said: "I haven't seen it, there is no ghost shadow when the old man goes out to see it, but it is a tinnitus attack, if this official doesn't come to ask, the old man doesn't remember it." ”

All three of them had some disappointment on their faces, but at least they had a little eyebrows.

"Nie Zhutou, take me around there." Wen Qiniang said.

Nie Jingfeng glanced at Wen Qiran, Wen Qiran looked at Wen Qi Niang, although he faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but Qi Niang's calm and confident eyes made him have a certain hope in his heart.

"Let's go together."

Nie Jingfeng's eyes showed a hint of disbelief, but he quickly hidden, he had been handling the case for so many years, and it was the first time he had seen his relatives participate in solving the case, but judging from yesterday's performance, Wen Qiniang was assertive, not out of curiosity or other purposes.

The three of them came to the place where the fishing boat docked, which was about three miles away from the Ya of Hanjiang County, where several fishing boats were docked on the shore, the fishermen were sorting out their nets, the fish were jumping and struggling in the cabin, the rising sun was shining on every smiling face, and it was another harvest morning.

Everyone began to continue their search.

Wen Qiniang looked up at the surrounding environment and found that the air was filled with the smell of sandalwood, and there seemed to be a temple in the distance.

"Father, is there a temple around here?"

"Yes, less than half a mile away is Jiming Temple, why did Qi Niang ask?" Wen Qiran was puzzled, his eyes changed slightly, Jiming Temple

Wen Qiniang knew that her father had thought of a place with her, Mrs. Zhou went to this Jiming Temple that day, so coincidentally, or was there another hidden secret?

"My lord, there is a discovery!"

A large area of plants was crushed and crooked, and there were signs of struggle on the ground.

"That doesn't mean that this is where the crime took place." Nie Zhutou frowned and said, it's just a staggered plant, it can't explain anything.

Wen Qiniang didn't speak, and after careful observation, she remembered that during the autopsy last night, Zhou Xianling had a small bruise on his head, which should have been caused by the fight, Wen Qiniang suddenly found that there was a small stone embedded in the ground, and the surface of the stone was stained with blood, and the wound on the back of Zhou County's head should have been caused by this stone, Wen Qiniang carefully pinched the stone.

"Father, Nie Zhutou, look at this." Wen Qiniang carefully raised the stone in her hand, "This stone is stained with blood, and when Doctor Lin examined the body yesterday, he found a scar on the back of Zhou County's head, this should be the scene of the first crime, if you want to confirm further, you only need to compare this stone with Zhou County's wound to make it clear." ”

Nie Zhutou and Wen Qiran were skeptical, this way seemed a bit arbitrary, but it didn't sound impossible.

It is clear whether the bloodstains on the stone are consistent with the bloodstains of Zhou County's order under its practical modern DNA detection, but it is a pity that there was no such technology in ancient times, and Wen Qiniang suddenly missed her colleagues in the modern trace identification department very much.

Wen Qiniang suddenly found a cut of incense on the ground, and asked Nie Zhutou with her hand, "What is this?" ”

Nie Zhutou took the broken incense: "This is incense, it may be from Jiming Temple, or it may be brought here by the villagers from home." ”

Wen Qiniang was noncommittal, and pointed to the ground: "Father, Nie Zhutou, you look at a few footprints, what do you think is the problem?" ”

Nie Zhutou held his chin and said, "The size is different, like a man and a woman, there are at least two people at the scene." ”

Wen Qiniang nodded: "But how easy is it for a woman to kill a middle-aged man?" And if a man and a woman kill together, it is much easier. ”

"Oh no, sir." A servant hurried in.

"What happened?" Wen Qiran and Nie Zhutou asked at the same time.

"Mrs. Zhou Zhou took the two old men to the Liang Mansion to receive the corpses, saying that they were going to be buried." The officer panted.

"Presumptuous!" Wen Qiran's face was full of anger when he heard this, is there still him in the eyes of these people, is there a county lord, as soon as he left with his front foot, these dogs began to make trouble.

Wen Qiniang saw that the scene was almost checked, and the one that Mrs. Zhou sang was obviously three hundred taels of silver here, for fear that others would not know that she had a ghost in her heart.

Everyone hurried to the cemetery.

When Wen Qiran and the others arrived, they found that even the tombstones had been placed, and everything was going so quickly, I am afraid that they had already been prepared.

"Bold woman! You dare to dispose of the bones of an unknown cause of death without authorization, but there are still civil laws in your eyes! ”

"Lord Wen is so powerful, what law did the woman break when she buried her deceased husband? However, the adults let the dead not rest in peace, and I am afraid that it is unreasonable to be reasonable. ”

"What my nephew and daughter-in-law said is very true, and the two of us still decided to tell the lord of the house, and we must ask for an explanation for my nephew and daughter-in-law." Zhou Bingchun raised his head and said arrogantly.

Wen Qiran's face became darker and darker, and it turned out that Fang Cai's obedience was all pretended, and he suddenly said loudly: "Arrest them all back to the yamen and watch the pressure for the time being, and wait for the verdict to be announced." ”

"You dog official, we have to sue the court! You can't eat and walk around! The two old foxes said hoarsely.
