Chapter 48: Don't tease me all day
Shunhua lowered his eyes and smiled, teasing.
"If you want to find clues in the suspect, you have to sacrifice the hue of the lady and coax them to take off with a beauty trick, this song is okay, they are all men, but the old widow... I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it. β
Fu Mujin choked and gently tapped her head.
"It hurts. Why are you knocking on me again? β
Shunhua held his head in his hands and looked at him innocently.
"There are mosquitoes."
"Where, will there be mosquitoes on such a cold day?"
She turned her head around and looked for half a circle, but no.
"Flew away."
Fu Mujin gently brushed it over, picked up the egg, and was about to peel the shell, but it was too hot. The egg rolled out of his hand, and Shunhua reached out to catch it and rolled the egg to the other hand.
"It's hot, it's hot."
With that, she stretched out her hand, which had just been scalded by an egg, to Fu Mujian's earlobe.
He looked at her in a daze, his earlobes pinched by his warm fingers, and the roots of his ears gradually turned red.
"I'm ......" Shunhua opened her mouth, her face full of panic.
Oh no, she's used to it, if she used to eat eggs, she would always sneak Frosty's earlobe and see Frost's surprised little appearance.
Yan Shunhua, Yan Shunhua, how old are you.
Why are you still so naΓ―ve!
How does it end now? Or take your hand back?
Her fingers trembled, and the back of her hand unexpectedly touched a warmth, and she looked at Fu Mujin in surprise, but he grabbed his hand and didn't let go.
The big gentle palm gently covered the back of her hand, and the soft warmth spread from the back of the hand to the palm, making her palm sweaty.
"You..."
Fu Mujian didn't speak, just slowly lowered her hand. The eyes as clear as the stars looked away slightly, and opened their palms to her shyly.
"Brother Yan, I'll peel it off."
She nodded confusedly and put the egg back in his palm.
"Okay."
For the first time, she blushed and watched someone peel an egg, as if she were watching him do something big.
With his fair-skinned wrists and slender fingers, he flexibly peeled off the eggshell, as if every little action he made added points in her heart, and Shun Hua deeply understood that Fu Mujin was definitely the best-looking and most handsome man in the whole country of Qiongguo.
"Come on."
He handed the peeled egg to her mouth.
She pursed her lips, sweating on her forehead, and didn't dare to open her mouth.
No, he actually had to feed her.
Two 'men' like this, will it be too close.
She was a little shy, quickly took out the egg and swallowed it in one gulp. With lightning speed, the eggs are eliminated.
"Ahem... Thank you... Tutor... Son. β
She covered her mouth and stuffed her cheeks with eggs.
Fu Mujin was stunned, the egg was gone, and it took a long time to react, and he sneered, "Brother Yan, it's really interesting." β
"You... Don't tease me all day... Play. She muttered as she chewed.
Fu Mujin raised his head slightly, looked at the leaky ceiling, and raised the corners of his mouth charmingly: "Obviously, you often tease me." β
"Huh?"
She choked nervously and muttered, "Also, let's talk about the case, there are only seven days left, I'm in a hurry, cough..."
"Okay."
With that, Fu Mujin peeled off another egg.
He thought for a moment and said, "According to the confession of the Fat Worm Five Tyrants, the deceased went to the black shop to wait for someone. β
"A single woman goes out, either to elope or to escape marriage, and nine times out of ten she elopes."
Fu Mujin nodded.
"They saw the deceased, they got upset and bullied her, and it is estimated that the deceased was not disfigured at that time."
"But why, didn't the person you made the appointment show up?" Fu Mujin asked rhetorically.
"Maybe it is."
Hearing this, Fu Mujin looked at Yan Shunhua in surprise, "What do you mean..."
Shunhua put down the dishes and chopsticks, swallowed the rice in his mouth, and said as he walked:
"The man arrived late because of something, and when he arrived, the deceased had already been murdered and sold here. Since it was an elopement, the man couldn't see her, so he naturally wondered if she didn't come at all. β
Fu Mujian was silent.
Shunhua told this sad story.
"And she, alone imprisoned here, waiting for someone who will never come."
The gossip mirror behind the door of the firewood room, the yellow talisman on the wall, the incense burner on the ground, the leftover Yin Si money, the iron chains embedded in the wall, and the large pool of blood on the ground all hint that a person was once imprisoned there, and that person's freedom and all dignity were once taken away.
She was beaten, disfigured, and even forced to marry someone she didn't like.
The villagers here witnessed the tragedy.
No one, no one showed up, no one stopped, no one was angry.
What a sad and angry thing it is for everyone to treat this vice as a trivial matter.
So, she must have just caught the murderer.
She was going to tell everyone that it wasn't right, that it shouldn't have happened at all.
"What a girl, being tortured like this, if you don't catch the real murderer, it's hard to get rid of this little master's bad breath!"
"That's right, we'll catch the killer."
Shunhua looked at Fu Mujian and nodded, picked up the pot, and ate it like a hamster.

In the middle of the night, the two sat on the bed again.
Compared to the first night, it was clear that both of them were bold.
"Fu, Fu sits and sleeps." He was the first to speak.
"I... I slept inside. Shunhua pointed to the side of the bed and quickly pulled the quilt.
As the night darkens, the two of them hold their breath and try to fall asleep.
"Tick-tick-tick-"
Yan Shunhua really wants to sleep with her eyes closed, but who can sleep in this situation.
It was raining heavily outside, and the house was leaking, and whenever she tried to sleep with her eyes closed, a drop of rain would fall from the roof, right in the middle of her eyebrows.
She had no choice but to sleep with a bowl on her head.
Where the water leaks, like a drum, ticking the bowl.
In this way, she watched the dawn with her bowl on her head, her eyes bursting red and waiting for the rain to stop.
Fu Mujin was good, meditated and recuperated, and slept until dawn all night.
Suddenly hearing the sound of chickens crowing, Shunhua, who was distracted, shook Fu Mujian vigorously, and the whole bowl of rainwater fell into her mouth, wetting her neck.
"Ahem," she was going crazy.
"What's wrong?" Fu Mujin opened his eyes slightly and asked softly.
Shun Hua looked at the hanging beam, and suddenly said coldly: "Quick, go buy a pig's head." β
Ha? Brother Yan hasn't woken up yet?
"Are you sure you want me to buy a pig's head and come back?" Fu Mujin asked again.
"Well, it's about the same size, not too big, not too small."
Shunhua sat up and actively gestured with his hand.
"Do you suddenly want to eat pig's head?" He asked cutely.
Shun Hua shook his head, leaned close to Fu Mujian's ear and said a few words.
Fu Mujian's eyes widened, "Are you really going to do this?" β
Shunhua nodded excitedly, this is a clever plan she came up with without sleeping all night with a porcelain bowl.
"Wouldn't it be too bold?" Fu Mujin hesitated.
Shunhua hurriedly waved his hand, "You look so good, if you are willing to wear it, no one will believe it." β
"It would be a shame if it was exposed."
