After a hurried lunch in a restaurant, the two began to set off on their way. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Gu Xiao always felt as if something was missing today, but she couldn't remember what it was for a while, until after walking a long way, she suddenly remembered that it was the kid who was missing Nighthawk.

"Why didn't you see Nighthawk?" She was a little confused.

Tang Jing glanced at her lightly, and didn't speak, he only felt that this woman was lacking in heart, and the nighthawk hadn't been seen for a long time, and she only found out now.

Gu Xiao saw that Tang Jing didn't pay attention to herself, but didn't continue to ask questions, but followed him step by step, stepping on Tang Jing's shadow reflected on the ground with her foot from time to time.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the gate of the town, they saw a group of people gathered there, and there were even disgruntled noises and stern shouts and curses.

"What are you doing today, you can't even go out of town, what the hell is going on?"

"Who knows, I was fine when I entered the town yesterday, but why can't I get out now."

Gu Xiao was a little curious, so she strode forward, grabbed a woman and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, what's going on in front?" ā€

The woman's face was full of sorrow, and she sighed in a low voice: "Who knows, yesterday was fine, but today I can't get out and can't get in!" ā€

Gu Xiao saw that he didn't hear any answers, and was immediately a little disappointed, so he had to look back at Tang Jing, but saw that his expression was calm, and he walked unhurriedly towards the officers and soldiers blocking the door.

Gu Xiao saw Tang Jing and the officers and soldiers muttering something from a distance, and then took out something.

When those officers and soldiers saw that thing, they bowed to him respectfully, and then began to explain something again, only to see Tang Jing nod thoughtfully, and then turned around and walked back towards her.

Seeing him returning, Gu Xiao hurriedly ran towards him, and his eyes turned several times before he asked, "Eh, did they say anything just now?" ā€

Tang Jing didn't ignore her this time, but looked at her expressionlessly for a long time before he spoke lightly.

"Last night, the eldest lady of the Li family in Qingfeng Town was killed, and the murderer has not been identified for the time being, in order to prevent the murderer from escaping, the town gate cannot be left for the time being."

When Gu Xiao heard this, she suddenly became interested, "Can you take me to see the scene of the crime?" ā€

Who knew that Tang Jing heard this, but he looked at her with a strange look.

This woman's courage is really not ordinary, it stands to reason that the girl's family should not be shocked and frightened when they hear that there is a dead person? Why is this woman so excited?

Sure enough, this woman can't be commented on with common sense!

"What are you going to do there?"

No matter how Tang Jing thought about it, she would never have thought that Gu Xiao had specialized in this business in her previous life, so dead people had long been commonplace for her, and she was not afraid at all.

"Nothing, I'm just curious! You know, people, are always curious about things. ā€

Tang Jing raised his eyebrows, "You're not afraid?" ā€

Gu Xiao shrugged her shoulders and said disdainfully, "What's there to be afraid of?" ā€

Tang Jing was dumbfounded, thinking: Also, this woman is not afraid when she sees bandits, how can she be afraid of this dead person?

"But then again, you can't always keep the town door closed like this, can you?"

You can't just keep it locked up just because you can't find the murderer, right? If the murderer had already fled last night, wouldn't it be necessary for the people to keep waiting?

Tang Jing shook his head slightly, "No, they said that if the murderer can't be found today, the town gate will be opened tomorrow morning." ā€

Gu Xiao listened and nodded, "This is about the same, although it is important to catch the murderer, it affects the normal life of the people, and it is not good!"

Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, and the murderer will be brought to justice one day. ā€

"Hmmm! Let's go. Tang Jing turned his back and walked back.

"Hey~ Where are you going?" Gu Xiao hurriedly trotted to follow.

He spit out two words without looking back, "Yamen." ā€

After Gu Xiao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, was he going to take himself to the scene to have a look?

……

Inside the yamen, the county magistrate glanced at Tang Jing with some hesitation, and his face hesitated.

"Tang Gongzi, it's not that the lower officials won't take you there, it's really that the crime scene can't be destroyed, you see-"

Before Tang Jing could speak, Gu Xiao had already spoken out: "Lord County Order, look, you can't see any clues at the moment, it's better to let my son-in-law take a look, my son-in-law has been studying for many years, maybe he can find out one or two!" ā€

The corners of Tang Jing's mouth rose slightly, but he secretly sneered in his heart, this girl, obviously she wants to go, how can she say that it seems that he wants to go?

He didn't tear down her platform, but followed her words and said:

"What Xiaoxiao said is very true, Lord County Commander, I didn't want to pay attention to it, but now that the town gate is closed, we can't go out for a while, we just want to take a look at the crime scene."

Meaning, if it weren't for the fact that the town gate was closed, we wouldn't have been able to get out for a while, and we wouldn't have been idle enough to wade through this troubled water.

Gu Xiao couldn't help but shudder, Xiaoxiao? This man had never called her name before, but when he shouted, he shouted such a nickname that made her scalp tingle!

"This ......"

The county order is still a little hesitant, this is a matter of the yamen, how can outsiders be allowed to interfere? Although the identity of this Tang Gongzi is different, he is not a person in the yamen after all!

"Oops! Our son-in-law is also for the good of you and the people, could it be that the county magistrate doesn't want to catch the murderer as soon as possible? ā€

Gu Xiao, who was a little upset by the indecisiveness of the county order, couldn't help but ask impatiently.

"Naturally, I thought about it, so I'll ask someone to take you there, and ask the two of you to wait a little longer."

Seeing that they insisted on going, the county magistrate knew that he couldn't stop it, so he also waved his hand along the way.

"Has the corpse been examined?" Gu Xiao pretended to mention it unintentionally.

The county magistrate nodded, "I have checked, there is poisoning in the body, and it is currently determined that it is poisoning." ā€

"Poisoned?" Gu Xiao frowned, "Have you ever suspected that it was suicide?" ā€

The county magistrate glanced at her strangely, how did he think that this little girl seemed to know a lot about this kind of thing? Thinking about it, he secretly glanced at Tang Jing again, but saw that he was drinking tea by himself, and he didn't care about this side at all.

Although he was puzzled, the county magistrate obediently replied, "The possibility of suicide has been ruled out." ā€

"Why?"

"According to the Li family, this eldest lady will marry her beloved in another month, and it is absolutely impossible for her to commit suicide."

Gu Xiao frowned again, "This doesn't fully explain anything, what if it's her beloved who cheats?" ā€

Most of these ancient women are dead-eyed, who knows if it will be the man's cheating, so that the woman will break it, and she will be sad, and she may not be able to commit suicide by taking poison for a while.

"Cheating?" The prefectural magistrate didn't quite understand what this meant.

Gu Xiao was stunned, and then remembered that they didn't understand the meaning of cheating, so they hurriedly explained: "Cheating means that the man has another woman!" ā€

"Oh!" The county commander nodded clearly, then shook his head and denied: "This is impossible, we have also asked about the man and his neighbors, that person has a simple personality, is honest, and has a soft spot for the eldest lady of the Li family, so it is absolutely impossible to do such a thing." ā€
