Nian Su's body relaxed, she waved her hand, and said, "It's okay, I'm going to make tofu, you can do it yourself." ”

With that, she walked to the stove, skillfully lit the fire, and then made tofu, Su Jinshi looked at Nian Su's somewhat indifferent face, sighed, and left, but his heart became more and more interested in Nian Su's family.

She didn't want to go home yet, so she walked around the town casually, and before she knew it, she walked to the yamen, and the noise inside disrupted Su Jinshi's thoughts, and a group of people were gathered at the yamen.

Su Jinshi squeezed forward curiously, and finally squeezed to the front, she stretched out her head to look inside, only to see two people kneeling in the yamen, and there was a corpse on the ground, the corpse was hugged with a mat, but the blood still oozed out.

"Auntie, what's going on? Why did this man die? Su Jinshi pulled the person next to him and asked curiously.

The aunt glanced at Su Jinshi, frowned and said, "Why did you come here, this little girl?" It's better to see less of this kind of bloody thing, don't dream at night! ”

"No, auntie, just sue me, I also have a nickname among the neighbors called Su Daring, I see that this person seems to have been killed." Su Jinshi looked at the people in the court intently.

When the aunt saw Su Jin, she didn't seem to be a scared person, so she said, "That Wang Youhan also deserves it, he beat and scolded his wife before he was alive, and he must be beaten when he drinks, this Xu's injuries are not better, not only for Xu's, but even his five-year-old son will not let go, if he is unhappy, he will fight, and now that he is dead, it is good!" ”

The aunt knew a lot, and Su Jinshi asked again: "Auntie, do you know how the corpse was found?" ”

"It's also unfortunate that this Xu went to the field to get vegetables, and the child also followed, this Wang Youhan was alone at home, and I don't know who he provoked, he didn't come back that night, Xu didn't see Wang Youhan in the morning, so he went out to look for him, and it took a long time to find him in the grove outside the town."

Su Jinshi frowned, and she continued to listen to the people in the court.

"Xu, you said bluntly, is it because he has been beating and scolding you for a long time that you killed your father-in-law?" Zhao Wenshui, the county magistrate of Peach Blossom Town, patted the shocked wood and said sternly.

When Xu Shi heard this, she immediately panicked, she hurriedly shook her hand, kowtowed and cried, and said: "My lord is aware of it, this matter has nothing to do with the people's daughter, how did Youhan die, the people's daughter really doesn't know!" ”

"Then when you didn't see Wang Youhan that night, why didn't you go out in time to look for it?" Zhao Wenshui asked again.

"This ...... Really, the folk girl is used to it! Xu's tears were still flowing, but he said a little hesitantly: "You Han usually comes back very late, and at first the folk girl will wait for him to come back, but then ...... The folk girl didn't bother to wait, she thought that yesterday was the same as usual, but she didn't come back as soon as he went out! ”

Zhao Wenshui waved his hand and said impatiently: "Drag it out and put it in prison, you don't have to quibble, you are the only one who is suspected!" ”

After speaking, two officials dragged Xu away, but Xu refused to leave, and shouted loudly: "Lord Zhao! The sky can see that I didn't kill Youhan! If you lock me up, what will you do with this little god! ”

Xu's voice was still echoing in the court, everyone saw the case, and the excitement dispersed after watching it, only the aunt just now said with some suspicion: "I said that this Wang Youhan was killed last night, but I stayed at Wang's house for a long time last night before going back, how did this Xu have time to run into the woods to kill Youhan?" ”

The aunt didn't dare to go to the court to give testimony, Su Jinshi silently wrote down the aunt's words, she looked at Wang Youhan's corpse again, and just a gust of wind came, but the mat covered by the corpse was blown down.

Su Jinshi looked at it, and suddenly felt a little sick to his stomach, there was almost no clean place on Wang Youhan's body, there was blood, mud and even some leaves sticking, and vaguely she could see those wounds.

It was cut very neatly, and the distance between the wounds was almost the same, the wound on the throat should be fatal, Wang Youhan's expression was hideous, a pair of eyes were prominent, and he seemed to have seen something terrible before he died, and he seemed to have died at the most frightened moment.

Su Jinshi's stomach was churning, and the lunch she ate at noon was almost up to her throat, and she didn't leave the court until the official moved Wang Youhan's body away, and ran outside to retch against the wall.

After a while, her stomach calmed down, and there was no longer a feeling of nausea, but the nausea kept wrapping around her chest, pressing her uncomfortably.

"This Peach Blossom Town is not very peaceful, only one person died half a year ago, and another one died yesterday, I heard that the death is very ugly!"

"But no, alas, I've only been in Peach Blossom Town for less than three years, and this kind of thing happened one after another."

"Speaking of three years, I still remember that there was a big case in Peach Blossom Town three years ago, but in the end, it was also closed."

"Oh? What kind of case? ”

"It's similar to these two cases, the people who were killed were all infamous in Peach Blossom Town, but the case three years ago was not as disgusting as yesterday."

"Are they all infamous?"

"Yes, the few people who were killed were either drunkards or gamblers, and they didn't have a good reputation......

“……”

Su Jinshi stood by the wall and listened to the conversation of two passers-by, and became suspicious.

Obviously, these three cases are very likely to have been committed by the same person, with similar methods and similar identities of the victims.

The interval between the three cases is getting shorter and shorter, which means that soon the next person will be killed.

Cold sweat broke out on Su Jinshi's forehead, in modern times, she was keen to watch all kinds of TV dramas, movies and novels that solved crimes, which she only regarded as a hobby, and the knowledge she learned from it, she never felt that it could come in handy.

But now......

She was sure that Xu was not the murderer, but she could not find the real murderer.

Su Jinshi sighed and was about to leave to go home, but she saw her brother Su Huaijin at the yamen.

Su Huaijin stood at the entrance of the yamen and pondered, even when she arrived in front of him, he didn't react, Su Jinshi patted Su Huaijin on the shoulder vigorously and said, "What are you thinking?" ”

Su Huaijin was taken aback, he came back to his senses, and when he saw that it was Su Jin, he relaxed, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I was bored and walked here, and I also watched a wonderful 'solve the case'." Su Jinshi clasped his hands in front of his chest and said with a smile.

Su Huaijin raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Exquisite? Haha, it's indeed 'exquisite', so my sister also thinks this adult is misjudged? ”

Su Jin looked at him, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Guess? ”

When Su Huaijin saw her, she was waiting for herself to say first, "This Zhao Wenshui is not a misjudgment. He paused and continued: "It's a complete blind judgment, he doesn't know who the killer is, and he doesn't investigate. ”

"He just wants to find a random murderer to settle the matter."

Su Jinshi frowned when he heard him say this, "What do you mean...... This Zhao Wenshui knew who the murderer was, but he didn't dare to say it? ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Huaijin's eyes, he smiled, but said: "Sister, you can't talk too much, Zhao Wenshui knows whether we are not sure or not, but he must know some clues, and the people these clues point to are people he can't afford to offend." ”

"Brother, do you still have any impressions of the case from three years ago and half a year ago?" Su Jinshi thought about it and asked.

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Su Huaijin's face suddenly disappeared, and he said with a solemn face: "Do you think the three cases are related?" ”

"I just heard two passers-by on the side," Su Jinshi's expression was also stern, she stared at Su Huaijin's eyes, and asked softly: "But I'm not familiar with these two cases, can you tell me about it?" ”

Su Huaijin's eyes suddenly became complicated, and after a long time, he smiled and said, "When did my sister become interested in this kind of thing?" ”
