Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang followed a few small officials back to the city, and at the gate of a jade shop, there were many people around.

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were maintaining order, and a lot of officials came, and Gongsun was riding a black owl with a small medicine box.

"Who died?" Gongsun asked when he got off the horse, and the black owl flicked his tail and looked around, as if he was looking for Zhao Pu.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had just arrived, shook their heads, and signaled that they had just arrived.

At this time, I saw a person in the palace walking out, it was another commander of the Imperial City Army, Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi scratched his head, "I just changed shifts with Cao Lan, and this morning we laughed at him for his decline, looking for a street in the middle of the night and bumping into a murder case, but I didn't expect it to be my turn in less than half a day." ”

Bai Yutang and Gongsun both glanced at Zhanzhao silently - it seems to be you who is in decline.

Zhan Zhao looked at the two of them, that means - you two are also suspicious, don't blame them all on me!

Zhan Zhao was making a disgusted expression, and the black owl on the side suddenly flicked his tail, and the swarthy tail hair shook Zhan Zhao's face.

Zhan Zhao grabbed the black owl's tail and suddenly asked, "Did you give birth to more?" ”

Gongsun and Bai Yutang looked at the face holding the black owl and asked it seriously, "Is Duoduo born?" Boys or girls", sighed.

"Who died?" Gongsun took a step back, raised his face and looked at the plaque at the door, and touched his chin, "Zhaoyue jade line?" ”

"Is it the shopkeeper who died?" Zhan Zhao asked Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi shook his head, "The shopkeeper's daughter-in-law is dead." ”

Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned.

"And the death is still quite terrifying." Jiang Yi motioned for Zhanzhao and them to go in and take a look.

Bai Yutang frowned and disgusted when he heard that the death was ugly, he could help investigate the case, but there was no need to admire the corpse......

The fifth master is looking around, otherwise which herbal tea shop to go to sit and wait for Zhan Zhao and Gongsun to finish reading it...... was grabbed by Zhan Zhao's wrist and dragged into the jade shop.

The fifth master is also quite helpless, this cat is too fast to claw, and it is impossible to prevent it.

When he entered the courtyard and saw the corpse at a glance, the fifth master regretted it.

Bai Yutang sighed, he knew he wouldn't come in...... I'm going to vomit out my overnight meal.

At this time, I saw a woman's body in the middle of the courtyard. The woman was probably in her forties, and she was kneeling on the ground. Her neck was broken entirely, hanging limply on her right side. On the left side of the neck, there are two bamboo sticks, and on the bamboo sticks, there are fat □□ that are the size of two bowls and blurred flesh and blood.

Zhan Zhao opened his eyes wide and looked at the strange female corpse, and circled around, "The one who killed Xie Yiting seems to be a murderer, right?" They all like to stick things into their necks, although one has a paper flower and the other has □□.

Gongsun squatted down to examine the body.

After a cursory look, Gongsun raised his head and said, "He died after his neck was broken." ”

As he spoke, Mr. Gongsun added, "□□'s neck is also broken." ”

Bai Yutang looked at the two □□ with blurred flesh and blood with disgust, feeling that his stomach was overturned, and he said in his heart, how can the murderer of this year be like this-kill people, kill people, what are you doing with so many tricks?

Zhan Zhao called the shopkeeper of the jade shop who was crying on the side.

The shopkeeper is called Wang Shouye, and the three brothers in the family are all jade shopkeepers, and he is the second in line. Wang Shouye lost his wife in middle age, his original wife was his childhood sweetheart, the two had a deep relationship, ten years ago, his original wife died of a serious illness. After that, Wang Shouye has been alone, about three years ago, he met the current lady Pei.

The lady who died in the yard was named Pei Qin, she was very beautiful, don't look at her forties at this time, but she still has charm and a good figure.

Pei Qin was picked up by Wang Shouye when she was hiding from the rain outside the jade shop, when she was penniless and sick, and she was very miserable.

Wang Shouye took her in.

After getting along for a while, the two had a relationship.

Wang Shouye married Pei Qin.

Pei Qin never said about his previous experience, nor did he say why he was so miserable on the streets, and Wang Shouye didn't ask.

At that time, many people persuaded Wang Shouye, although this woman is good-looking, her origin is unknown, don't be a dusty woman, and there may be trouble if she is just by her side. But Wang Shouye didn't listen, he felt that he had no money and no power, and he had nothing to covet, besides, who didn't have a bad past to talk about in these years, anyway, he looked at Pei Qin very well.

After the two got married, they have been living very well in the past few years, the husband and wife are loving, Pei Qin is very virtuous, and her personality is also very gentle, and Wang Shouye's friends, who had a lot of complaints about her before, also praised her.

But who knows, Pei Qin was suddenly killed.

Wang Shouye was doing business outside just now, when he heard a maid screaming in the backyard, he ran back to take a look, and he fainted at that time, he had just woken up.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Wang Shouye crying silently, knowing that the two husband and wife really had a good relationship, and they also had some sympathy for this gray-haired middle-aged man who had lost two lovers.

But sympathy is sympathy, and the case still has to be investigated.

Zhan Zhao asked Wang Shouye, "Has Mrs. Zun offended anyone?" Can you think of someone trying to harm her? ”

Wang Shouye shook his head, saying that his daughter-in-law had never seen anyone without leaving the door, and he really couldn't think of anyone who wanted to harm her.

"She was on the streets before she met you." Bai Yutang asked, "Could it be that you are hiding from some enemy?" Did she mention it? ”

Wang Shouye sighed, "I can also see that she seems to have experienced a lot, but she has never mentioned it, and I don't want to ask, who would have thought that it would be a murderous disaster." ”

"Do you know Xie Yiting?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Wang Shouye was stunned and frowned slightly, "The shopkeeper of the Freehand Art Gallery?" ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded, and said that there is a door! It seems to be recognized.

"I've had a few encounters." Wang Shouye recalled, "He came to my shop to buy a few pieces of jade to engrave seals, and asked me to help his friend appraise some jade artifacts and help them estimate the price." ”

"What kind of jade is it?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"It's all Jade Buddhas, and he has a friend who seems to be collecting Jade Buddhas." Wang Shouye said, "There are a few really good things, all of which were used in the court of the previous dynasty, and I estimate that his friend should be either rich or expensive." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other - Xie Yiting helped people sell the stolen goods, and it was reasonable to find someone who knew how to estimate the price.

"Has Mrs. Zun also seen Xie Yiting?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Wang Shouye shook his head, "Of course I haven't seen it, Xie Yiting and I are not friends, and my wife also avoids meeting people I know." ”

When Zhan Zhao heard this, he asked, "Shopkeeper Wang, to be honest, do you think that your wife deliberately avoided seeing people, as if she was hiding from someone?" ”

Wang Shouye didn't speak, frowning slightly, for a long time, he sighed and nodded, "She is indeed always cautious, as if there are some very scared people and things, and occasionally she will wake up in the middle of the night and ask her what is wrong, but she will not say." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, and then at Pei Qin's corpse, the other party could kill people and leave so unknowingly, indicating that the kung fu is not low, if it has something to do with Wang Shouye, this shopkeeper will definitely not be able to escape...... can just kill Pei Qin without hurting others, indicating that it has something to do with Pei Qin's past. But it's hard to find out at this time, Pei Qin is dead, Wang Shouye doesn't know what to ask, and the clues are broken again.

In the end, Gongsun asked people to carry the body to Kaifeng Mansion, ran over and asked Wang Shouye, "The ...... that Mrs. Zun has stuck in her neck"

Wang Shouye nodded and sighed, "It's just inexplicable, everyone is dead, why do you humiliate her like this?" ”

"Do you know what that means?" Gongsun asked.

Wang Shouye shook his head.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang look at their grandsons.

Gongsun stretched out his hands, and the meaning was the same as the paper flowers on Xie Yiting's corpse, the meaning was unknown!

Gongsun left the jade shop with Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and asked the two, "Where is the little fourth son?" ”

Zhan Zhao said that he would stay in Taixue.

Gongsun looked at the sky, "It's time for lunch, I'll pick him up." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang thought about it, and then they also went to Taixue.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the gate of Taixue, they smelled a scorching smell, and the black owl screamed twice and looked up.

The three of them looked up and saw smoke billowing from Taixue.

Zhan Zhao was shocked.

Gongsun jumped up, "Why is it on fire again!" ”

Bai Yutang shook his head.

In the distance, Jiang Yi led the Imperial City Army to kill, shouting as he ran, "I said!" What is going on with learning this Nima! ”

Gongsun was a little worried, why did he catch fire but no one escaped?

Everyone ran into Taixue to take a look, but they were stunned.

Taixue did burn a fire at this time, but it was obviously not a fire, but someone was burning something.

I saw that there were several identical bookshelves in the middle of the empty courtyard, just the one in Lin Fuzi's study, which was also full of useless books and files, and they were placed in the same way as before Lin Fuzi's bookshelf was burned.

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, "Very clever to do." ”

Gongsun leaned over and picked up the little fourth son who was excited to watch people set fires.

At this time, I heard Bao Yan shouting, "It's time!" ”

As Bao Yan's voice fell, Bai Yutang flicked his sleeves...... According to the way he put out the fire, he put out all the fires.

Ge Qing, who was about to extinguish the fire on the side, scratched his head, sure enough, Bai Yutang's internal strength was strong......

So, everyone began to compare the remaining bookshelf with the one in Lin Fuzi's study.

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Although this method can't ensure that which book is lost, it can at least deduce which layer started to catch fire." ”

Bai Yutang also nodded, "At that time, the situation was urgent, and the other party set fire to the books, and they would definitely ensure that the layer where the books were lost was completely destroyed, and the other layers were used as cover, no matter what, the first one to light must be the layer where the books were stolen." ”

Bao Yan hugged his arms, "On this bookshelf are all students' lists, one layer for five years, about two volumes a year, placed in the middle, and on both sides are students' test papers and the like." ”

After everyone compared, they finally found one of the bookshelves that burned out in the same way as the one in the study.

"It's the fourth floor." Zhan Zhao Road.

"Here's a list of students from 20 years ago, and it should be like from 20 years ago to 25 years ago." Package delay calculation.

"The oil should be poured on the left." Lin Xiao pointed, "The one on the bookshelf inside, the one on the left is a little stricter than the one on the right." If it had happened suddenly, I wouldn't have thought of misleading people in reverse, so I think it should have been close to 20 to 23 years ago, and one or a few of them were lost...... Or all of them. ”

Everyone nodded and felt that the inference was reasonable, so they turned their faces to look at Master Lin Xiao together, wanting to ask him if he had any ideas.

But at this moment, Lin Fuzi was sitting under the ginkgo tree, holding a cup in a daze.

Everyone looked at the old man's appearance and was a little curious - he didn't jump his feet when a few children set fire here, what was wrong?

Zhan Zhao looked around and asked the little fourth son, "What about Uncle Xiaoxiao?" ”

The fourth son said, "Woe went back to Kaifeng Mansion, just now Aunt Hong came to ask him to go back and take medicine." ”

Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "Take medicine, it seems to be a little cough recently." ”

Gongsun was curious, "What is the disease of the sick scholar?" It looks quite strict, so why don't you let me show him. ”

Zhan Zhao spread his hands, "I don't know about this, he was a little congenital deficient, and it seems that he got worse and worse because of his kung fu practice." But I heard my grandfather say that the four great doctors of the Demon Palace, that is, your four masters, planted immortals in his body to save his life, although he was sick and weak, but he couldn't die. And Jiu Niang is very careful to take care of him.

The fourth son asked his grandson curiously, "Daddy, what is a seed immortal?" ”

Gongsun frowned slightly, "Cultivating immortals is one of the oldest medical techniques, which is equivalent to life-saving magic techniques!" This kind of medical skill has been lost, and I probably can't do it unless my four masters join forces. And the precious medicinal materials needed are not something that ordinary Lang Zhong can get. ”

"Grandpa said the same thing." Zhan Zhao nodded.

"Master." Bao Yan ran over and poked Lin Xiao, who was still in a daze.

Lin Fuzi came back to his senses, suddenly smelled a burning smell, and jumped up, "Oops! It's on fire! This is where it's on fire again! ”

The crowd couldn't laugh or cry.

Pang Yu hugged his arms and shook his head on the side, "No wonder he didn't say anything when I asked him if he could light the fire just now, and I didn't hear it at all!" ”

Lin Fuzi came to his senses easily, leaned over and looked at the results of everyone's "experiment", touched his beard and nodded, "Well, good way!" Who came up with it? ”

Bao Yan and the others stretched out their hands and pointed at Lin Xiao.

Lin Fuzi nodded, "This row is indeed a directory file from twenty years ago to twenty-five years. ”

"Anything else?" Zhan Zhao asked hurriedly.

"It's all in stock in the Dragon Pavilion." Master Lin Xiao said, "I really can't find it in Longtu Pavilion, and there are also in the palace." ”

"Oh, so there are so many archives?" Everyone looked at Master Lin.

The old man smiled, "Of course. ”

So, everyone decided to go to Longtu Pavilion to find the file, and by the way, look through the case file of the Jin family's old mansion.

Zhan Zhao asked Master Lin Xiao again about the jade shop. Lin Fuzi didn't know Wang Shouye at all, let alone his daughter-in-law, but he was panicked when he heard the death method, "Why are there so many terrible homicides these days, who does such a thing......

Zhan Zhao felt that after checking for most of the day, there were still no clues, and he had to think of other ways.

Everyone was about to say goodbye to Master Lin and go to Longtu Pavilion, when they saw a soldier in charge of guarding outside the door running in, "Master Lin, someone asks to see you." ”
