Yin Seventeen glanced at Ye Ziluo, who was obviously also puzzled, and Jiang Sheng, who asked directly, replied with a light smile:

"Sometimes the murderer will do some extra cleaning in order to destroy the body and destroy the traces, or clean up the murder scene, which can effectively remove some traces of the crime, but on the contrary, this conscious cleaning can sometimes unexpectedly bring us some useful clues!"

Jiang Sheng looked at Yin Seventeen, who had an indifferent face, and said something that seemed to be very profound, he was a little confused:

"What do you mean?"

Ye Ziluo couldn't figure it out, he shook his head at Jiang Sheng, who was looking at him for an explanation:

"I don't quite understand it either. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Yin Seventeen didn't plan to explain in depth, but asked Jiang Sheng to say something about Yang Licong's family.

After finding out that Xiaoyaozi was sitting in Linfeng Pavilion and committing suicide by taking poison facing the Zhaishan Hall outside Wuzi Lake, she asked Jiang Dapeng to check Yang Licong's home situation, and Jiang Dapeng asked Jiang Sheng to do a thorough investigation.

Jiang Sheng couldn't figure out the meaning of Yin Seventeen's words, and Yin Seventeen was obviously unwilling to explain more, after all, time is limited now, it is still important to catch the murderer, as for these things that he doesn't understand, there will always be an opportunity to ask for advice after solving the case.

Without any more superfluous nonsense, Jiang Shengkairu talked about Yang Licong's family situation.

The three of them didn't change places, it just so happened that Qili Hutong had its own servants guarding Ji Guang's house, and the residents in this alley could almost detour around the road, and those who couldn't detour tried not to go out.

Because there are no cases in Jiebei County recently, one of the largest cases is three cases of death by poisoning, and I see that Jiang Dapeng and Jiang Sheng are two officials who often go in and out of Ji Guangfa's house, although I don't know what the identity of Yin Seventeen and Ye Ziluo is, but the people who live in the alley probably also smell some blood, and they are mainly to save their lives, so they are afraid that one will be accidentally contaminated with bad luck for no reason.

It can almost be said that everyone outside is speculating that Ji Guang may be the next person to commit suicide by taking poison.

Sometimes I have to say that the little people are the wisest.

I haven't even understood the slightest bit of the case, but if you guess, you can guess it straight to the bull's-eye.

At the root of the outer wall of the courtyard wall of Ji Guangfa's house in Qili Hutong, except for the two officials who used to guard the door on the right, there were no idle people waiting next to them, and the three of them could talk freely.

Yang Licong's family is a wealthy family in Jiebei County, and Yang employees are the leaders of business, and they have a lot of business minds and means.

Therefore, although the Yang family's industry is very wide and successful, it has not offended people much, and Yang Yuanwai is a benevolent person in Jiebei County, so many people are puzzled by the case of Yang Licong's unprovoked drowning a year ago.

They all feel that Yang Yuanwai is kind and kind, and he has done a lot of good things to build roads and bridges in Jiebei County, why was his only sister-in-law killed so inexplicably?

Yang Licong is the youngest son of Yang Yuanwai, with three sisters-in-law and five sisters.

Yin Seventeen was surprised: "Yang Yuanwai actually has so many daughters? ”

Jiang Sheng smiled: "Isn't this a group of Yang Yuan's wives and concubines, but it's a pity that except for Mrs. Yang, who gave birth to three young ladies in a row, was blessed by the ancestors of the Yang family, and finally gave birth to such a son-in-law as Yang Licong, the other concubines gave birth to a son, and Yang Yuanwai gave birth to a son, but the daughters gave birth to a lot!" ”

Yin Qiqi unconsciously glanced at Ye Ziluo when he heard this: "Is it that rich and powerful people like three wives, four concubines and five rooms like this?" ”

The leaves are a little embarrassed to fall, and there is a little suspicious red at the root of the ears:

"No, it's not always ......"

Jiang Sheng felt that Ye Ziluo's expression was a little strange, but due to the problem in the corner, he didn't see the red at the root of Ye Ziluo's ears, and only answered the question that Yin Seventeen suddenly couldn't get along with the eight poles of the case:

"Isn't that it? Men, who doesn't want to enjoy the blessings of all people? ”

Yin Seventeen looked at Ye Ziluo again with such an expression, then turned to Jiang Sheng's face and said with a smile:

"It seems that Brother Jiang also has this ambition!"

Jiang Sheng smiled, a little embarrassed, scratched the back of his head twice, and turned the topic back to Yang Licong's case:

"Yang Licong was twenty when he died, and he was not young at this age, it stands to reason that he should have married a wife and had children, but I heard that it was a woman that Yang Licong had already liked in his heart, but Yang Yuanwai has not been able to agree, as for who the woman is, even Yang Yuanwai doesn't know!"

Ye Ziluo said: "How is it possible? ”

Jiang Sheng said: "I don't believe it either, but Yang Yuanwai insisted that he really didn't know, and I asked other people outside Yang's mansion again, and they all said that they had never seen that woman, but they all knew that such a woman existed." ”

Yin Seventeen asked, "Do you know the woman's appearance and age?" Or are there other characteristics? ”

Jiang Sheng shook his head: "It's just three words - I don't know!" ”

But whenever Jiang Sheng asked about this woman, there were more than 100 masters and servants up and down the Yang Mansion, and they all expressed one meaning in unison - I don't know.

Yin Seventeen was silent for a while, and then asked Jiang Sheng to continue talking about the other situations in the Yang Mansion.

Yang Licong's three sisters-in-law have already been married, and four of the five sisters and sisters have been married, leaving only one thirteen-year-old sister who is still waiting to be in the boudoir, and most of the married Yang family daughters have been married to Jiebei County, and the people who are married are more or less merchants who have some dealings with the Yang family.

The concubine is a wife, and the concubine is a concubine, Yang Yuanwai almost married his daughters into a business network that brings unlimited benefits to the Yang family, but because Yang Yuanwai has done a lot of good things for Jiebei County, even the magistrate of Jiebei County has personally praised it, so even if people outside know that Yang Yuanwai is using the marriage of his daughters to pull business opportunities, few people chew the root of their tongues.

Jiang Sheng said: "This is what I told me when I asked a rival in Yang Yuanwai's camp, otherwise everything I asked was saying good things about Yang Yuanwai...... But seriously, this Yang Yuanwai has indeed done too many good things for us in Jiebei County, not to mention that the young ladies of the Yang family are said to have a good life after getting married, but because they are married far away, they rarely return to their parents' homes. ”

Yin Seventeen said: "In this way, there are only Yang Yuanwai's husband and wife left in the Yang family today, as well as Yang Yuanwai's concubine room, and the youngest concubine is unmarried, and the others are no longer in the Yang Mansion?" Not even in Jiebei County for a long time? ”

Jiang Sheng nodded: "That's right, it's long since I was in Jiebei County." ”

Ye Ziluo said: "That's fine, the range is a lot smaller." ”

Yin Seventeen asked Jiang Sheng: "When you were inquiring, did you find anything wrong with the people of the Yang Mansion?" ”

Jiang Sheng said: "No! ”

Jiang Sheng went to Yang's house to investigate the drowning case of Yang Licong, except for Yang Yuan, he was very welcome, and begged to find out the murderer, so Mrs. Yang cried to death and almost lost her breath, and the concubines in the other backyards were in the room, and even Yang Licong's sister Yang Lishuang was also indifferent.

When Yin Qiqi heard this, he was a little unsure which people in the Yang family were most likely to commit the crime, or it was not the case made by the Yang family at all, but the woman who made Yang Licong insist on not marrying, and finally planned to marry through the Flower Moon Festival?

No doubt both sides have to be checked.

Jiang Sheng also understood this truth, there was no need for Yin Seventeen to say, he had already asked people to investigate.

But it is easier to check Yang's family, and the woman whose name and appearance no one even knows is impossible to find.

Yin Qiqi said to Jiang Sheng: "You can start from the places that Yang Licong used to go to before his death, especially the kind of places that will definitely go at a specific time within a month, rain or shine, as long as you find the place, it will be much easier to find out the woman Yang Licong loves." ”

Jiang Sheng mentioned this point through Yin Seventeen, suddenly realized, and said excitedly:

"That's right! How did I not think of it? Or Brother Yin is thoughtful! I'll arrange for someone to check it out! ”

As he spoke, Jiang Sheng was already like a tornado swept out of Qili Hutong, and after a few blinks, he couldn't see his figure anymore.

Ye Ziluo smiled and said: "This Brother Jiang is a good fast hand with energy and responsibility!" ”

Yin Seventeen said: "Officials should be like this, if even the officials who can ask for the people's lives are not wholeheartedly thinking about the people, then how can the little people who are succumb to the lowest level still live?" ”

Ye Ziluo listened to Yin Seventeen's words as if she had a feeling, but Yin Seventeen didn't have the intention to say more, she walked away:

"Let's go! Time is running out, we have to find the clues to find out where Qingmei is as soon as possible! ”

After walking out of Qili Hutong, Yin Seventeen did not walk to the location of the house, but went to Huanong Hutong, and Ye Ziluo was puzzled:

"Seventeen, are you going in the wrong direction?"

Yin Seventeen said: "That's right, we have to go to the Qinglou where Yahuan is located, and after understanding some of the situation first, we can better judge where Qingmei is most likely to be." ”

It's right to think about it.

The Qinglou where Qingmei is located is called Wanjiaolou, and Yahuan is called Xiaoxiang, which is the Yahuan waiting beside Qingmei.

When the two arrived at Wanjiaolou, the official was asking Wanjiaolou's old bustard Wan's mother, and as soon as he stepped out of Wanjiaolou, he met the two head-on.

When the two officials saw this, they told them what they had asked.

Wan's mother said that Qingmei will not be in Wanjiaolou for three days every month, where did she go on those three days, because Qingmei refused to say, nothing happened every time, and Qingmei came back as soon as the three days arrived, so Wan's mother asked two or three times, and she no longer pursued it to the end.

If she opens the door to do business, as long as the girl doesn't run away and is still a red prostitute who can make money, Mother Wan has always been more tolerant.

Yin Seventeen said: "That is to say, since yesterday, Qingmei has not been in Wanjiao Building, and will not return until noon on August 11?" ”

The official said: "Yes, Qingmei left Wanjiaolou at noon on the eighth day of August, and it will only be the ninth day of the first month, and it will take two days to come back." ”

Ye Zi fell aside and said: "Sure enough, even if it is missing, no one will doubt whether it is a case of disappearance and having to report the case, so that when it is determined whether Qingmei will come back as scheduled, Ji Guangfa will already be a dead person by then." ”

Yin Seventeen asked: "Xiaoxiang is Qingmei's maid, why didn't she follow?" ”

The official was speechless, and neither of them thought to ask this question.

Both of them looked at Yin Seventeen with shameful faces, and one of them hurriedly said:

"Let's ask again!"

Yin Seventeen said: "No need, let's just ask for the rest, and the two eldest brothers of Lao ran to Sanzang Temple, and told Brother Jiang, in addition to searching for suspicious people and things, let Brother Jiang also pay attention to the traces of Qingmei, before leaving, you go to ask Mother Wan for a portrait of Qingmei." ”

After the official responded, he entered Wan Jiaolou and went straight to Wan's mother, who had just rested, to ask for the portrait of Qingmei.

Fortunately, Qingmei had a guest who had painted Qingmei earlier, and hung it in the Qingmei room, and Wan's mother took it down and handed it to the officials, and after making sure that it was okay, she sent the two officials back to Wanjiao Lou again.

As soon as she turned back, she saw two well-dressed sons standing at the staircase waiting for her, and Mother Wan stepped forward and asked:

"The two sons are ......"

The handyman who was waiting with Yin Seventeen and Ye Ziluo explained to Wan's mother that he was also the person who came to investigate the case from the county government and wanted to see Xiaoxiang to ask some about the case.

When Mother Wan heard this, she waved her hand and asked the helper to call Xiaoxiang out, and said with a smile to the two:

"Wait a minute, the two sons, Xiaoxiang will come out immediately!"

Yin Seventeen and the leaves fell in the lobby of Wanjiao Building and sat down.

Because it would be daytime, the girls in Wan Jiaolou were sleeping, and Wan's mother was also resting, but because of the arrival of the servants, she and the helper got up to greet her.

Just now, the two officials finally finished asking and went out of Wan Jiaolou, and Wan's mother also hurried back to the room to continue sleeping.

After giving the portrait, two sons with rich clothes and extraordinary temperament were ushered in.

Mother Wan smiled on her face, thinking that if these two sons came to her Wan Jiaolou, I was afraid that the girls would have to pounce on them and fight for them, they really had two good looks!

Just when Mother Wan was thinking nonsense, Yin Seventeen, and Ye Ziluo couldn't sit still when Mother Wan's naked eyes were about to kill people, the helper arrived with Xiaoxiang.

After Xiaoxiang sat down, Yin Seventeen asked Wan's mother and the helper to avoid it.

Mother Wan was a little reluctant, but when she thought that it was about the human life of the case, she had to get up and leave the lobby with the helper in three steps.

Xiaoxiang is a maid in Wanjiaolou, she has never had any status, she walks with her head down, and she doesn't dare to look at people.

This surprised Yin Seventeen.

She remembered that when she met Xiaoxiang in the alley at the back door of Wanjiaolou, the seductive eyes were very bold, and she was still impressed, how could she sit at the table opposite her and Ye Ziluo, but she was like a wronged little daughter-in-law who had been oppressed for thousands of years?

Yin Seventeen asked, "You are the little fragrance who is in charge of waiting for Qingmei?" ”

Xiao Xiang was still with her head down, and since she entered the lobby to sit at the table with Yin Seventeen and Ye Ziluo, she didn't raise her glance to look at the two sons who wanted to see her by name.

But as soon as she heard Yin Seventeen's question, to be precise, when she heard Yin Seventeen's voice, Xiao Xiang raised her head suddenly, her eyes full of surprise:

"Is that you?"

Yin Seventeen looked at Xiao Xiang and finally raised her little face, revealing her standard eight teeth and said with a smile:

"It's me."

Xiao Xiang asked in surprise: "How could it be you?" Are you a poor master in the yamen? ”

Yin Seventeen shook his head: "No, but we are indeed here for the case." (To be continued.) )
