Soon, the two came to the prison of the county government, fortunately, there were still a lot of new silver taels sent a few days ago, and a few broken silver were given to the errand, and the two entered the prison smoothly.

"Suspect Duan Xin, someone came to see you. Go in, and remember to hurry. The errand guard made a noise, locked the door and left.

"Duan Xin, have you ever killed someone? Where were you on the day of the crime? Has anyone testified to you? Ou Zhengxue was straightforward.

Duan Xin was startled, he looked at Ou Zhengxue, who was wearing cyan men's clothes, his hair was pulled up into a neat little pill, his face was calm, and his voice was flat, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while.

The woman in front of him with a detached and cold expression, deep and wise eyes, and crisp and confident words, is it really the Ou Zhengxue he once knew?

That Ou Zhengxue who kept calling him Brother Duan? often sticks to herself and pretends to study medicine, but in fact, the little woman who only loves singing, dancing, playing the piano and writing poems in Xianyin Pavilion who has a soft spot for herself?

"Don't be in a daze, you don't have much time, if you want to live and clear your grievances, just tell the truth, you can't hide half a sentence." Ou Zhengxue sat opposite him, her demeanor was solemn and her voice was low, not angry and arrogant.

Since entering the cell, Ou Zhengxue's eyes have not left Duan Xin for a moment, if you want to find out the case, you must first at least determine whether Duan Xin is innocent, and you can't arbitrarily think that he is innocent just because he saved himself.

At this time, Ou Zhengxue did not regard this new "benefactor" or "Langzhong", in her eyes, he was the first suspect in a serious case.

"My lady asks you something, Duan Langjun, you should say it quickly, otherwise we will come in vain." Qing'er was anxious in her heart, thinking about the broken silver she had just handed over, her heart hurt! And for returning the innocence of "Doctor Duan", of course, the little girl is also very anxious.

"On the next day, I picked herbs in the forest, who knew that picking a herb was plausible, and I couldn't tell it for a while, and I was anxious at the next moment, so I tasted it, and then I ......" Duan Xin looked embarrassed, and then said in a low voice: "I was not good at school, and I recognized the wrong herb, so I passed out, and I woke up early the next morning." As for what happened that night, I really don't know at all. ”

"Human witness?" Ou Zhengxue listened to his statement, frowned, and asked coldly.

"Nope. In the woods in the north of the city where I went alone, I woke up early in the morning, and found a herb that I had been looking for for half a year by my side, and then returned home alone to prepare an antidote for you. At noon, when he heard the news that the lady woke up, he hurriedly went to the Niangzi Xianyin Pavilion, and spent a day and a night in the forest, without certification to testify. When Duan Xin said this, he was a little desperate.

"Qing'er, give him a pen and paper, and you can draw the appearance of the herb that made you unconscious that day." Ou Zhengxue commanded, and said coldly: "Draw seriously." ”

Duan Xin glanced at her cold and pretty face, and suddenly there was a strange tenderness in his heart, and he hurriedly lowered his head and drew seriously.

The two came out of the prison and went straight to the woods north of the city.

This is the north street of the city, where people come and go, but the path into the forest is sparsely populated.

"Lady, I'm afraid, this forest is unlucky, so many people have died, Qing'er is afraid, Qing'er doesn't dare to enter. Let's not go in, okay, please. Seeing Ou Zhengxue looking inside, Qing'er grabbed her in fear, she didn't expect the lady to be so bold and want to enter such an unlucky forest to see.

Ou Zhengxue rolled her eyes angrily, she was really unlucky, and she actually brought a little kid to the scene. She should be kept at home.

She looked around, and saw a small tea shop on the side of the street, directly facing the grove, and an old woman greeting passers-by.

A few people sat sparsely at the table of the tea shop, drinking tea and chatting at the same time.

She suddenly had an idea and said to Qing'er: "You go to that tea shop to drink tea, eat snacks, and order whatever you want, but there is a task." ”

As soon as Qing'er heard that she drank tea and ate snacks, her mood immediately jumped and she said, "The lady commanded, Qing'er will definitely do it." ”

"Go to the tea shop to drink tea, chat with the old lady and a few tea drinkers, ask a few cases in this forest, what kind of people died that day, and the more detailed the details they know, the better."

"Uh...... Talking about the dead? Qing'er's little face wrinkled, and Ou Zhengxue pointed to the dark and gloomy forest.

Well, she has gone to the yamen prison, are she still afraid to talk about the dead, just go. It's better than going to the place where you've died, to the gloomy woods.

Watching the little girl walk slowly towards the tea shop, Ou Zhengxue looked at the path leading to the forest, this is not an official road, it is completely stepped on by pedestrians.

It looks like it's a shortcut from the north of the city to the middle of the city. Walking from here is half the time compared to taking the main road.

This is the reason why even if someone dies, there are occasionally a few people who will have the courage to take this road.

She took out the newly drawn herbal diagram from her bosom and looked at it. I thought to myself: This new is also a talent, the position and appearance of the growth of herbs are clearly drawn, and there is a faint sense of artistic conception and beauty of fairy grass in the mountains.

However, this is not a fairy grass, it is a mystery...... The soul grass is pretty much the same.

She picked up the sketch and walked into the forest.

If it is said to be a murderer in the middle of the night, then if you are a murderer, you will definitely choose the darkest and most remote place, far away from the official family.

She walked on, the road twisting and turning, and the woods getting darker and darker. It was almost there, and sure enough, the weeds in front of him were poured into a patch, and the blood stains in them were coagulated and blackened.

This is the scene of the crime, but unfortunately the body has already been cleaned up now, Ou Zhengxue circled around this mark, and then walked around in a small area.

Nothing special was found.

This forest is very dark, but why does this criminal repeatedly attack in the same place?

After a wide circle in the forest, a jungle is somewhat familiar. She thought about it and opened the piece of paper, and sure enough, it was the location that Duan Xin had drawn.

When I walked forward, I saw a few similar grasses.

To avoid poisoning, she found a handkerchief, pulled up the grass, and wrapped it.

came out of the forest and looked at the tea shop, and sure enough, this obedient little girl was still sitting at the table.

She walked forward quickly, and the little girl seemed a little nervous.

At this time, there were more people than before, and there were two men sitting at this table, also drinking tea.

There happened to be a vacant seat, Ou Zhengxue sat down generously, and when she saw Ou Zhengxue coming, she finally relaxed a little, and drank tea at a table with two men, this was the first time since she was born, the little girl was nervous and embarrassed, for fear of being seen through that she was a girl, where did she dare to speak.

"What, what's the catch?" Ou Zhengxue lowered her voice and asked Qing'er.

"Nope." Qing'er cried with a sad face, her little mouth was deflated, and she was about to cry.

Ou Zhengxue touched her head and expressed comfort, in fact, our Officer Ou is really not very good at comforting people.

At this moment, one of the two men on the opposite side spoke: "This Xiao Langjun, seeing you coming out of the forest, say a word more, like Xiao Langjun, a master who looks like Pan An, don't go to the forest to take risks, do you know, who died in this forest a few days ago?" ”
