Shui Qingxiang walked out of the Confucius Temple and saw a servant interrogating a white-robed elder, and there were many villagers gathered outside.

No matter what era it is, there is no shortage of spectators who love to watch the excitement.

This is not to blame them, Dongzi Town is peaceful all year round, and the sudden occurrence of such a bloody murder case is also a strange news, and it is indispensable to see the lively gossip.

Shui Qingxiang glanced at the crowd of onlookers, trying to find some clues.

In her previous life, when she was handling the case, there was no rare kind of psychopathic killer who returned to the scene after the killing, as long as she carefully observed her facial expressions, she could find a few clues.

Shui Qingxiang looked at the villagers standing outside the Confucius Temple, there were women with good deeds, and there were also schoolchildren from this private school, either surprised, or frightened, gossiping, but she didn't see anyone with a particularly abnormal look, Shui Qingxiang turned her eyes to the old man who was interrogated.

The old man in a white robe, with a long white face and long beard, gray hair, and a beautiful dress, knew at a glance that he was the master of this private school.

Shui Qingxiang walked over to hear the master's opinion on the death of the deceased.

The official who interrogated the master knew that Shui Qingxiang knew the county magistrate, but he did not refuse her to come over and listen to the root of the wall.

The white-robed old man's face turned pale, and he sighed: "He is the master of my private school, named Qian Yukun, who came here seven years ago, and usually lives in a simple place, but he didn't expect to be poisoned by this kind of murder, it's really incredible." ”

Seven years ago? It seemed to be about the same time as Butcher Zhang came to the town, Shui Qingxiang thought in her heart.

"Did the deceased have family or friends? Where to stay? Who do you usually interact with? The official threw out a series of questions.

"This ...... The old man is actually not familiar with him. ”

Shui Qingxiang saw that Lao Xiucai was a little flickering, and from the observation of his facial expressions, he felt that he might have something to hide.

"Master, concealing the situation is considered to obstruct the handling of the case, if you tell the county magistrate, you will be punished." Shui Qingxiang stared at each other with half-squinted eyes.

But the old Xiucai twisted his beard, raised his face arrogantly, and looked like he was going to deceive the old man: "What the old man said is true, and he has not concealed it." ”

Shui Qingxiang looked at a few schoolchildren not far away, and looked at this side with blank eyes.

She smiled at the children: "Do you recognize the dead Master Qian?" ”

Several of the children nodded.

"What about Master Qian? Are you usually fierce in class? ”

Several children didn't say anything, and some even glanced at the old Xiucai standing next to them with their small eyes.

Oh, it turned out that I was worried about the old headmaster, so I didn't dare to say it.

Shui Qingxiang immediately took out a few copper coins from her body, "Whoever told me, these money will be given to him to buy sugar gourds." ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of several children suddenly lit up. The principal's punishment and the like were also thrown out of the clouds.

"Mr. Qian often takes sick leave, and he hasn't been in class for more than ten days."

"Master is very good, he never beats and scolds us."

"The master loves to drink, and once he was drunk and listened to what he said about Yichun Courtyard......"

……

"Don't talk nonsense!" When the gray-haired old Xiu heard this, he was so angry that his beard trembled, for fear that the boys would say something unfavorable and affect the reputation of the private school.

A few children were suddenly too frightened to say any more, Shui Qingxiang put two copper coins in each person's hand, and several children took the money and ran away happily, some were naughty, and even made a grimace at the old master who was blowing his beard and glaring.

The inquiring official heard the conversation between Shui Qingxiang and a few children, and said to Lao Xiucai in an unkind tone: "Adults handle the case, if you don't report it, you should be punished as an accomplice, you can be careful." “

Lao Xiucai's face sank, and he had to start telling the truth: "Speaking of this Qian master, he is really a strange person. He usually has little contact with other people, and he is not married at a young age, so he rents a courtyard on the outskirts of my brother-in-law, not far from the private school, but he often takes leave. Occasionally, when I went to the town to drink flower wine, I advised him not to let loose his wreckage, but he turned a deaf ear, and I did not know if it was a romantic debt that he had incurred. ”

Liu Yingyi walked out of the Confucius Temple, and as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Shui Qingxiang standing with the official and walked straight to this side: "Water girl, have you ever had clues related to the case?" ”

"Lord Hui, this deceased Qian Yukun and Butcher Zhang, both came to Dongzi Town seven years ago, and the two don't seem to have any clear dealings, but this Qian Yukun usually falls in love with the Qinglou and drinks, and the villain guesses that this Qian Yukun must be familiar with a woman in the Qinglou, and I want to find out another day."

"It's good to have new leads so quickly. Another day, the official will go with you to this green ...... Check it out. Liu Yingyi narrowed his fox eyes slightly, and there was a sly sparkle in his clear eyes.

The little catcher next to him was dumbfounded, what, the county magistrate wants to go to the Qinglou with the "Night Pot Girl" to investigate the case, what kind of operation is this?

Qin Zhutou, who came out later, turned his face black and turned to ashes, and his career was in jeopardy.

It was just getting dark, and Shui Qingxiang came out of the Confucius Temple and walked towards her grocery store.

Although this town is not big, there is also some distance from the Confucius Temple to the grocery store in the town, and Shui Qingxiang walked all the way, and suddenly felt as if someone was following behind.

She has also traveled to this world for a while, although the business of the grocery store is average, but it is enough for her and Shui Dali to spend two people, just afraid that any blind little thief will attack them, it is not interesting to be self-deprecating.

It's a pity that there are always so many people who are not afraid of death these days.

Shui Qingxiang has just turned the mouth of an alley, this alley is located in the middle of nowhere, the house is dilapidated, it is the old site of the residents of the new city, and now almost no one lives, Shui Qingxiang deliberately took this road today.

When it gets dark, passing through this place, it always makes people feel a gust of wind and a chill down the spine.

Out of nowhere, a wild cat came out of nowhere, and it screamed heartbreakingly, which can make people's scalps tingle and sore brains.

A figure followed Shui Qingxiang to the alley, but as soon as he turned the intersection, the light figure before disappeared, as if it was like a ghost in the night, making people unable to find a trace.

The visitor suddenly felt bad, turned around and wanted to leave, but saw that the figure who had been following just now didn't know when to stand on the alley wall, and then a relaxed swallow stroked the water, standing lightly in front of the figure.

"Qin Zhutou, I've been following me for so long, so it's better to just make things clear here. I wanted to be an errand boy in the yamen, but I wasn't ambitious enough to take your place, so you refused to let me go? "Although I have the ability to sit in your position.

But Qin Zhutou didn't answer at all, and directly drew his knife at each other, and the blade forced Shui Qingxiang everywhere.

Shui Qingxiang took retreat as advance, and was not frightened by Qin Zhutou's sharp blade, she took two steps back very steadily, and then turned sideways, dodging a blow like an agile deer, and then turned her two fists into powerful weapons, swinging towards the opponent with one blow.

Although Shui Qingxiang in the previous life also knew some life-saving kung fu, compared to Shui Qingxiang, who had received modern professional training, those flower fists and embroidered legs were still a little worse, and the set of close defense techniques she was using now was a defensive fighting technique.

This set of defensive fighting techniques can be used to defend oneself and move to control the enemy, in the previous life, Shui Qingxiang used this set of boxing techniques to subdue many bad guys, but today it is a little overkill to use it on Qin Zhutou.

Although Qin Zhutou was holding a big knife in his hand, in front of Shui Qingxiang, this big knife that usually made him more and more stiff and stiff, and after a few rounds, Shui Qingxiang could fight a draw with Qin Zhutou according to his fist strength.

Qin Zhutou gradually felt a little difficult, but there were some calculations in his heart, this night pot girl looked thin, I didn't expect to be able to fight like this, if such a person stayed in the county government as an errand boy, where would he still be enough to see this head catcher?

In the blink of an eye, there was jealousy and resentment, although Qin Zhutou had a tie with Shui Qingxiang in terms of tricks, but in the blink of an eye, the strength of his subordinates increased a little.

Shui Qingxiang didn't know what Qin Zhutou was thinking, she only felt that this big boss suddenly increased her strength, and the knife attacked her life, as if she really wanted to put herself to death.

This damn old man, what kind of medicine did he take wrong, I have no grievances with him, why do you want to compete with me desperately?

Taking advantage of the night, coupled with her familiarity with this terrain, Shui Qingxiang did not fall behind even if she did not have weapons, and in the next battle, she gave full play to the characteristics of her physical dexterity, turned defense into offense, and the strength in her hand also increased a few points, and her fists were to the flesh......

Half an hour later, Qin Zhutou walked in front of the county magistrate with tired steps.

"How?" Lord Liu put down the case file in his hand and looked up and asked.

Qin Zhutou said a little frustratedly: "Go back to the adult, the villain is not her opponent. This night pot...... The water girl is very strange, and she doesn't know what trick it is, but she can dodge my big knife. ”

"And beat you to a bruised nose and swollen face?" Liu Yingyi looked at the bruise on his chin with interest, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"Okay, I see, you go down first."

Qin Zhutou turned to leave, he gritted his teeth, and looked very unwilling.

Liu Yingyi's peach blossom eyes were shining with a hint of a smile: "It's really interesting to be able to investigate the case and fight like this." ”
