In the winter of last year, Miss Ding San rushed back to Dingfu from the capital to congratulate her grandmother, Mrs. Ding, on her 60th birthday. After living at home for half a month, he rushed back to the capital with his subordinates early in the morning on the third day of the lunar month.

The family thought that she had returned to her mother-in-law's house in the capital safely, but they never thought that just before the New Year's Festival, her mother-in-law sent someone to Ding's house to pick up people, only to know that Miss Ding San had not returned to the capital.

The Ding family sent people to search for a few times around, but they couldn't find any news, and even the accompanying subordinates didn't find one.

Jiang Ruoning listened and asked, "How is Miss Ding San's return to her parents' house this time different from the past?" ”

Ding Dagongzi shook his head, "My sister and I were born to a mother, my mother died early, my father was afraid of wronging us, and married my aunt as a stepmother, my grandmother loved, and my stepmother spoiled, my stepmother treated our brothers and sisters very well, and after my stepmother passed the door, she only gave birth to a younger sister, because my sister was young at the time, and said, 'Mother has a sister, is it not that she loves me and my brother.'" For this reason, my stepmother took a casual suit. My sister died tragically, my grandmother was old, and my stepmother loved her again, so I didn't dare to tell them the truth, so I came to Qingxi County alone with the arrest. ”

It can be seen that the Ding family, the stepfamily, treats the brothers and sisters of the eldest son of Ding as his own, and for the sake of a child, he actually surrenders to his son. It is not difficult to see that the eldest prince Ding has a lot of respect for this stepmother.

Jiang Ruoning said: "People are burned like that, how can you be sure that person is Miss Ding San?" Just because of the portrait? ”

Deputy Yang took over and said, "Back to Mrs., Master Ding found this in the chest of the scorched corpse. ”

Jiang Ruoning looked at a copper coin in the palm of Deputy Yang Catcher's hand, "Plum blossom copper coin?" ”

"Our Ding family was the first to open a money bank, pawnshop, but all the children of the Ding family, born will have such a copper coin, this copper coin is made by my grandfather himself, I also have one, the front is a plum blossom pattern, behind our name."

Ding Dagongzi took out a long-life lock from his neck, which looked no different from ordinary locks, but there was something else in the lock. As soon as I pressed the mechanism, it bounced open, and inside was a plum blossom copper coin, with the words "Ding Ji Qianzhuang" written on the front, and his name on the back.

The copper coin found by Deputy Yang on the scorched corpse. Except for the words on the back, everything else is almost identical.

Deputy Yang said: "The appearance and portrait restored by Madame are indeed similar to Miss Ding San, but the difference is that there are two tear moles in the left corner of Miss Ding San's eyes. And the portrait does not. But when the subordinates went to Ding's house to visit, Ding's grandmother recognized it as Miss Ding San at a glance, and the copper coins found by the subordinates from the scorched corpse further confirmed Miss Ding San's identity. ”

Jiang Ruoning and Ah Huan winked.

Ah Huan opened the blue lacquer box and took out five portraits from it, "This is the portrait of the deceased restored by me and my senior sister, Master Ding, let's see how many of Miss Ding San's entourage went back to her parents' house to celebrate her birthday?" There are still seven people who have not yet restored their appearances, and if they do, they will definitely be able to find clues from them. ”

Ding Dagongzi swept the portraits one by one, but he was the master. I don't have any impression of my sister's subordinates, "This is Mrs. Ding, my sister's housekeeper, and my sister's nurse." Oh, this is Xiao Yan, this is Xiao Ying, they are my sister's dowry girls......"

The more he spoke, the more the hearts of the people sank.

Miss Ding San's death was not an accident, but a premeditated murder.

Even her henchmen and dowries were all killed.

Ding Dagongzi only has an impression of these people, and then looks at the others. With a blank face, "I...... I can't remember the others, but I remember these three and two serving servants, because they were originally my Ding family's subordinates. ”

And Jiang Ruoning's best restoration is the mother-in-law and the two girls. Two little guys.

The Ding family is one of the largest families in Sanying County, just like the Li family in Qingxi County, some people in the family are officials in the court, and at the same time, they have been in business for generations, which can be regarded as a scholarly family. A solid home. It is normal for such a young lady to marry into the official family of the capital, and Miss Ding's father is in Jiangnan Renzhizhou.

Jiang Ruoning said: "Call the people who have been in contact with the followers at the beginning, and wait for me to restore the faces of all the deceased, and then carefully identify them." ”

Master said: "Lao Feng has examined, twelve corpses, all of them were killed by broken neck bones, this kind of method is not like ordinary murder, more like a killer's doing, such an accurate killing method is unusual." ”

Deputy Yang said: "Ordinary killing, or seeking revenge, or killing people and taking things, but although there are few ornaments on Miss Ding San's body, they appear on Dong's body." All the accompanying subordinates were killed, and there were many items on the carriage, so it was inferred that the other party was not trying to seize the goods. ”

Some big cases, either for money, or for profit, or robbery, if these are not, it is for love or vendetta.

Ding Dagongzi kept muttering: "Seek revenge!" Seeking revenge......" His eyes suddenly lit up, "The last time my sister came home, my sister-in-law did not return with her, she has been worried since she came back, my wife once asked her to say something considerate, but she refused to say anything, only said that she was very good at her mother-in-law's house." ”

This Miss Ding San was originally a quiet character, a taciturn person, in addition to talking to her sister-in-law, I heard that there are no good friends, this sister-in-law is Miss Ding Liu, although it is a stepmother, she also came out of the cabinet more than a year ago, I heard that she was married to a Jiangnan imperial businessman, and the Ding family is a world friend.

Jiang Ruoning asked, "I don't know ...... Miss Ding's in-laws."

"The governor of the Western Army, the Liu family of the Duke of Dingguo, my sister-in-law is Liu Sen, the second son of the Duke of Dingguo."

This is a famous family in the capital.

"How does Miss Ding get along with her in-laws and concubines in Liu's house?"

"My sister has been taciturn since she was a child, and she likes to keep everything in her heart, my wife once inquired with Mrs. Ding, saying that Mrs. Liu treats her well, and gets along well with the prince of Dingguo. It's just that the five sons of Dingguo Gong and the youngest son and daughter-in-law of Dingguo don't get along very well. ”

Jiang Ruoning said: "The Ding family sent a few subordinates who had been in contact with Miss Ding's entourage to identify them, and first confirm the identities of the twelve deceased. Yang Zhutou went to Ding's house to understand the situation, and asked the people who had been in contact with Miss Ding and her mother-in-law to see if they knew anything else. ”

She thought for a moment, "I will do my best to restore the faces of all the deceased and further confirm their identities." According to the people of Guanyin Town, at the beginning of last year's lunar month, they did not hear or see some strange things. It is also necessary to understand whether Miss Ding had a grudge against others and killed people before her death, there must always be a motive. vendettas, killing, seeking wealth, and ...... for love"

The little guy behind Master Ding couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Although it was an inadvertent move, it suddenly fell into Jiang Ruoning's eyes. "This little brother...... Do you know something? ”

Ding Dagongzi looked back, "If you know anything, you must tell the truth." Miss died so miserably, don't figure it out, how to comfort her in the spirit of heaven...... His eyes turned red, and his sister, who had been missing for a few months, suddenly appeared and had been dead for several months. How could this not make his heart ache? In the past few months, the Ding and Liu families have been looking for people everywhere, but there is no news at all.

The little maid bowed his head and said: "Just now Mrs. talked about extinguishing her mouth and being in love, I heard Ding Laishun, who was married, mention it to me, saying that our young lady and the third grandmother and fourth grandmother of the Liu family do not get along well. It is said that these two grandmothers were originally going to be promised to Liu Ergongzi. One of them is the niece of Mrs. Liu's mother's family, and the other is the daughter of Mrs. Liu's aunt, and they are childhood sweethearts with Liu's second son.

The eldest prince of the Dingguo Mansion has been frail and sick since he was a child, and it is the second son of Liu who is in charge of the affairs of the Governor's Mansion in the palace. Ding Laishun said that my young lady's life in the Liu family was not good, and the third and fourth grandmothers often bullied our young lady by relying on the cousin of the Liu family, and they also squeezed her with words. Especially the fourth grandmother, once in the back garden of Liu's house, directly made things difficult for our young lady. said that the young lady snatched the second son of Liu ......"

Jiang Ruo listened silently.

Deputy Yang asked, "Master Ding, is what this little guy said true?" ”

"My father was an official in Jiangnan and had been away from home for six years. The second uncle and the second aunt were in the capital, and they had indeed heard people talk about the affairs between Liu Ergongzi and the third and fourth grandmothers, and I heard that the two of them had several quarrels in order to rob Liu Ergongzi. It is precisely because of this that Mrs. Liu later fell in love with my sister's gentle and virtuous lady and hired her as the second son-in-law. ”

Jiang Ruoning stopped interjecting, and let Deputy Yang Catcher, He Seventeen, and Luo Zhong take turns to ask a number of questions.

The more you ask, the more you confirm. Before Miss Ding San married into the Liu family of Dingguo Gong, Liu Ergongzi had an affair with several cousins, but in the end, because of their fight, Miss Ding San, who was not among the candidates for the second son's daughter-in-law, was cheapened in vain.

Love kills! Or he was killed when he learned about the secret of a wealthy family.

To learn more. Yang and He 17 each led a team of people to Dingjia and Guanyin Town in Sanying County to investigate, and Sanying County heard that although the case occurred in Guanyin Town, it actually involved the Ding family in Sanying County, and also sent five capable catchers to cooperate with the investigation.

Jiang Ruoning finally restored the faces of the remaining seven dead bodies.

She's getting more and more proficient now, and she remembers before the crossing. This part was restored by the computer system, but now she is using it to explore, thinking that it will be successful if she can make a six-point similarity, but the facts have proved that the clay figure she has created has reached a seven-point similarity, and some have even reached an eight-point similarity.

Just like the Dong family she sculpted, it is eight points similar, and it is precisely because of the similarity that the identity of the Dong family has been successfully confirmed.

Ding Zhutou of Sanying County was originally of the same clan as Ding Dagongzi, and when he heard that his niece was killed, he was quite angry, and led Sanying County to live in the county government quickly, and circled around Guanyin Town for several days.

On this day, the two counties gathered together, and the subordinates of the Ding family who had contacted Miss Ding San's entourage also came to Qingxi County, and the county order of Sanying County arrived in Qingxi County one day ahead of schedule in order to show its attention.

The case was also named "Liu Ding's Murder Suspected Case", and on the first day of the trial, many people gathered outside the yamen to watch the excitement.

Deputy Yang hugged his fists: "Lord Wen, Master Si, I want to ask a few witnesses." ”

"Witnesses, how do you answer Yang Zhutou's reply."

"Yes."

Deputy Yang said: "When did Liu Ding return to Ding's house last year to congratulate Mrs. Ding on her birthday?" ”

"It was the sixteenth afternoon of the winter moon last year."

"When is Mrs. Ding's birthday?"

"Winter Moon Twenty-Three."

"When did Liu Ding leave?"

"Early in the morning on the third day of the lunar month."

"She's a heavily pregnant woman who wants to return to Beijing, isn't the Ding family worried?"

"Our uncle and grandmother chose two martial arts high-strength nursing homes to accompany them, and they are all commonly used by my uncle."

"That is to say, among the six nurses, there are two people from your Ding family, you have to argue, which two are from your Ding family." (To be continued.) )
