In a few days, it will be a new year, and the streets will be much more lively than usual.

The hawkers and shops along the streets are full of ordinary people buying New Year's goods.

Wang Erniu gave birth to a mouth that could speak, and the rosary was also a talker, and the two chatted very speculatively through the car curtain.

Lu Qinghuan listened interestingly, and interjected a sentence or two from time to time, but most of the time he looked at the pedestrians and businessmen outside through the gap in the car window.

was looking at the bustle, a stall selling flowers on the side of the street attracted Lu Qinghuan's attention. She always felt that those flowers were familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them for a while.

After thinking about it for a long time, she didn't have a clue, and the carriage soon overtook the flower stall, so she didn't bother with this problem anymore.

When he arrived in Yizhuang and got the preliminary autopsy results of Helan Xuanyi, Lu Qinghuan had a headache - according to the missing person files within the time of the crime, the identity of these broken corpses could not be found at all.

The autopsy revealed that the body was between 40 and 50 years old, a man of fat stature, and in addition to the gold tooth found, a small number of black-brown unidentified objects were found from the incision of the fragment.

And Helan Xuanyi's judgment is that after the deceased was killed, he was divided into more than 100 pieces with a sharp weapon, and the specific amount is because the body is rotten after too long, and it is impossible to verify it conclusively.

And that pile of broken bones, Helan Xuanyi is still in the process of splicing, from the bones found, it is estimated that there are about three people, and the time of death of these three people is different, obviously it is not a one-time crime.

For such an autopsy result, Lu Qinghuan was already quite satisfied.

At least she knew that the deceased who had recently been discovered should be a middle-aged man with an identity, and as for why there was no information from the missing person file, there were only two questions.

One point is that the family of the missing person did not report the case, and the other point can only be that she made a mistake in the time of the investigation and omitted the information of the deceased.

Either way, just check carefully, there will always be clues.

Lu Qinghuan asked Wang Erniu to report the autopsy results back to the yamen, and to see what the Lin County Order had to say, so he took the rosary and planned to return home.

Helan Xuanyi saw that Lu Qinghuan just came to ask about the autopsy results, and was about to go back, feeling a little unclear loss in his heart.

"You...... Going back? ”

"Huh?" Lu Qinghuan didn't expect Helan to suddenly take the initiative to talk to her, she was a little surprised, she looked back at Helan with wide eyes, and nodded, "Yes, it's almost the New Year, I want to go shopping on the street." ”

Helan Xuanyi stared at Lu Qinghuan, seeing that her clothes were not thick, her little face was slightly red, even the tip of her nose was red with tender pink, her long hair was tied in a bun at the back of her head, and she was tied with a red ribbon, which looked like a porcelain doll coming out of a New Year painting, delicate and cute.

I was stunned for a while, and I forgot to answer.

Lu Qinghuan saw that Helan Xuanyi was just stunned, ignoring himself, thinking that he was no longer talking, so he was about to turn around and leave, but he heard Helan whisper: "Then you pay attention to safety." ”

After speaking, he lowered his eyes and looked lonely.

Lu Qinghuan suddenly remembered that Pei Yuan had mentioned that when Helan Xuanyi was assassinated, everyone in the family was sick and died, and he was the only one left in the huge Helan family.

It's almost the New Year, so he must be homesick!

Raising the corners of his lips, Lu Qinghuan showed a sinister smile, looked at Helan Xuanyi and squinted his eyes: "Helan, on Chinese New Year's Eve, please have a meal?" ”

The voice was crisp and pleasant, but Helan was shocked when he heard it, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Lu Qinghuan for a long time before nodding lightly, "Okay." ”

With Helan Xuanyi's promise, Lu Qinghuan was in a very good mood, and happily left Yizhuang with a rosary.

As soon as he came out of Yizhuang, the rosary pulled Lu Qinghuan's sleeve and muttered in a low voice: "Lady, are you going to Dr. Helan's house for dinner?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?"

"Yes...... But ......" When the rosary heard this, she scratched her head anxiously, and looked at Lu Qinghuan with an embarrassed expression, "Doctor Helan used to be a guilty person, although he is now pardoned, he always has a criminal record, and the lady should not be so close to him!" ”

Lu Qinghuan twisted her eyebrows and glanced at the rosary, of course she knew Helan's identity, but she didn't think it was a shameful thing, no matter what the Helan family did back then, the whole family was guilty, Helan was not guilty, not to mention that he was a kind person himself, how could she treat others differently?

"Rosary, in this case, I don't want to hear you talk about it in the future, no matter what kind of person he was in the past, now, he is my friend."

Lu Qinghuan's rare expression of stern expression made the rosary inevitably frightened, and she was a little shocked for a while, and only nodded weakly for a long time, saying that she would not mention it again.

Seeing that the rosary nodded in response, Lu Qinghuan immediately showed a smile, reached out and grabbed her cheek, with a hooligan attitude, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go shopping on the street!" ”

Seeing Lu Qinghuan's smiling face, the rosary just now relaxed, put on the hat in her hand for her, and tidied it up, before the master and servant walked down the street.

Lu Qinghuan went shopping, in fact, not only to buy some gifts for Gui Niang and the others, but also because she asked Pei Yuan to help her post notices, she wanted to come out to see the results.

Although her writing was simple, no one here had ever seen English, and she didn't know what the notices had been copied into, so she was a little relieved not to look at them.

Wandering around with the rosary, buying while walking, after a while, the rosary was full of things in his hands, and even Lu Qinghuan carried two large paper bags in his hand, which were mostly pastries and snacks, all of which were Gui Niang's favorite food.

The rosary was holding a few pieces of cloth and some rouge gouache, all of which were given to the three of them.

The rosary followed behind Lu Qinghuan, looked down at the pile of things he was holding in his hand, and his heart was warm. These things were specially bought for them by Lu Qinghuan, but she didn't buy anything herself.

In the past, although Lu Qinghuan treated her well, but in the end, she was arrogant, and the so-called good was just less beating and scolding, and she would be rewarded with some good things, and it was the first time to buy gifts for them like this.

Although he knew that it was wrong to think so, the rosary still couldn't help but feel that Lu Qinghuan's fall from the cliff was a good thing. Because her transformation all started after falling off a cliff.

Seeing that Lu Qinghuan was no longer shopping, and he didn't have the idea of buying things for himself, Rosary felt a little apprehensive in her heart, and felt that she had trespassed, so she hurriedly asked Lu Qinghuan: "Lady, the maid looks at your cotton jacket for the winter, why don't you go to the ready-to-wear store to take a look?" ”

The ladies of the Lu Mansion will add some new clothes every season, and Lu Qinghuan's clothes are not lacking, but compared to Lu Yuge's clothes and accessories, there is only no shortage.

For the mention of the rosary, Lu Qinghuan was not too interested.
