"Oh~ that's it."

Xin Du looked at the corpse covered with a straw mat in front of him, as if he was thoughtful.

"My lord, do you hear something?"

"I don't know."

Hu Xiu spread his hands helplessly, he could hear something, he was just a half-ass, and he wouldn't do an autopsy, if he could hear something, something strange would happen.

"And this case..."

"I have to continue to investigate, go to Yan Yun's house first."

"Oh~"

Xin Dutou subconsciously responded, but saw that Hu Xiu had already walked towards the outside of the mortuary, and hurriedly followed.

"Huh? My lord, the two little apprentices of Doctor Zhang, shouldn't the suspicion be greater, besides, Yan Yunzi returned home to rest, and the time to commit the crime was not right. ”

"Do you really believe it? That Sangping boy must not have said the right time, and he must not have known the right time, and I happen to know. ”

"And how did the adults know?"

Xin Dutou was shocked.

"Do you remember what the fat boss of the gambling house said?"

"The man was arguing with me, and I couldn't pay attention to what he said."

Hu Xiu held his forehead painfully, he had a headache, and the boss was quibbling? He really shouted for the fat boss.

"Did you notice the 'leak' in the backyard?"

"That backyard, it seems that there is really one."

Xin Dutou thought for a moment and said.

"The time that the boss said should be right, before the ugly time, Doctor Zhang was still alive, and I went to find the medicine boy Yan Yun, and then went to Doctor Zhang's house, and broke into the door when it was Chenshi.

In other words, the murderer completed drowning, dragging the corpse, and then camouflaging in just two or three hours! This is not a casual murder, it must be a planned, premeditated murder! ”

Hu Xiu's words were conclusive, and they were already in an affirmative tone.

"The scope of the murderer's crime can be narrowed down even further, Xin Dutou, in this way, you send people to search within five miles of Doctor Zhang's residence and the gambling house, focusing on finding a pond two to three meters deep.

It is likely that Dr. Zhang's clothes and the like will be found, and if the murderer is careless, he can even find his clothes. ”

"This..."

"Difficult?"

There are so many people in this yamen, can the population be insufficient?

"No, it's just that such a large-scale search will definitely disturb some people, and if some people in the court know that the adults are fighting so much for the sake of their own doctors, those people will definitely give His Majesty a twist and cause unnecessary trouble."

Hu Xiu frowned, and was about to say something, after all, he felt that he had done nothing wrong, after all, it was a human life. But when I turned my head and thought about it, it was no longer the present world, and human life in this era was like a mustard, especially the life of the "grass people" was not a human life.

"Alas~ That's good, let's go over this matter, now go to the medicine boy Yan Yun's house to see, that person told me a lie in the morning..."

"Told a lie? But I see that he is honest, and I heard Xiao Shi in the yamen say that he also looked calm when he made a confession, so there should be no problem. ”

"I can't say it, I can't say it."

Hu Xiu smiled mysteriously and ignored it again.

~

Yan Yun's residence is also near Suzaku Street, and the yamen is in the south of the city, so you don't have to go far to get out of the yamen, and you can get to Yan Yun's house.

The house was a wooden house, covered with wool grass, and there were a few holes in the corners, and it seemed that the family was not very wealthy.

"Bang Bang~"

Hu Xiu stepped forward and knocked lightly on the wooden door, and the person who opened the door was a woman with red eyes, looking like she had just cried.

"Who?"

After glancing at Hu Xiu slightly, he pouted and asked.

"The people from the Yamen are here to investigate the case."

"Uncle Zhang's?"

Uncle Zhang? Hu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and immediately responded:

"Hmm."

"Father, child, come out quickly, someone from the yamen is coming."

The woman shouted excitedly into the house, and a man also came out, since today's Yan Yun, seeing his face, hurriedly greeted and came in.

"It turned out to be two adults, the first time they came to the cold house, it was a sin to not be able to welcome them from afar, it was cold outside, if the adults didn't dislike it, they could go to the house and sit."

Hu Xiu was stunned when he heard it, didn't he just enter the room, why did he start to pull up the words.

"Okay."

The hands fell back, crossed the threshold, and went into the house, dragging this sour text We can't do it, but pretending to be proud will still be a little bit.

The house was small, but the furniture was complete, and there was a young girl, two or three years old, who was staggering by the bedside, holding a small wooden ball in her hand, which was supposed to be her toy.

At this age, he has passed the age of babbling, and when he saw Hu Xiu and Xin Dutou coming in, he called "uncle, uncle", which was very cute.

It's also because the room is small, there are not many rooms, and there are only two rooms, one room, and the other is this.

The woman took the child in her arms and went into the room under the pretext of preparing tea.

"Your wife seems to know Doctor Zhang."

Hu Xiu asked casually.

"My wife was rescued by Mr. Zhang, and my wife and I are naturally grateful to him."

"That's right."

"If the prince and the cha ye still have any questions, ask me, and I will naturally know everything."

"There's nothing to ask for the time being, then, can we take a look at your house at will?"

"Huh...? Naturally, yes. ”

Yan Yun seemed to be skeptical, but quickly agreed.

Hu Xiu stood up with his body propped up, the chairs in their house were low, and it was a little troublesome to sit and stand.

This sleeping place is naturally nothing to look at, so I entered the room, but saw the woman rummaging through the kitchen cabinets, as if she was looking for something.

Hu Xiu was embarrassed to come forward and bother, so he stood there and watched the little girl of her family squatting on the ground holding her small ball, until the woman found that she was tired and raised her head, and then she saw him standing there.

"Honorable guest, how did you come to where this woman came?"

"Just wandering around, besides, when did this kitchen become only for women?"

The guest laughed.

The woman said and laughed, but she looked for it again.

"What are you looking for?"

"Tea cups, last night, the child's father came back, and I waited for him very late. He felt sorry for me and brought me a cup of tea, which I drank and fell asleep. ”

"Don't you have any other cups at home?"

It stands to reason that even if the family is poor, there must always be one or two quilts for drinking water.

"Naturally, there are some of them, but the status of the guest is noble, and the other quilts in the house are either old or shoddy, I am afraid that it will pollute your eyes."

"Oh~"

Hu Xiu's eyes flashed slightly, he thought of something, hurriedly walked out of the kitchen door, and watched Xin Dutou and Yan Yun talk happily, and did not bother.

Walking quickly to the head of the bed, on the small high stool next to the head of the bed, there was a purple porcelain cup the size of a half-grown child's fist, with dense patterns on it, and it was a bit gorgeous.

The body blocked the high stool, one hand leaned back, gently twisted the teacup, and then shrunk the hand into the sleeve, it still looked a little unnatural, but only if someone didn't deliberately lift his sleeve, no one could find that he still had a teacup hidden in his hand.

"Xindutou,"

Hu Xiu straightened his face, beckoned his hand to Xin Dutou, and he came over.

"Yan Yun, then we'll go first."

"Okay, the two adults are free."

Yan Yun responded with a smile, although Xin Dutou felt a little strange, he also followed Hu Xiu out of Yan Yun's residence.

……

"What's the matter, you and Yan Yun are talking about Xingtou, and you are not happy when you are called away?"

"What's the matter, I'm also a person who has read a few sage books, and Yan Yun's guy is also very knowledgeable, uh~ Compared to me, he is very knowledgeable."

Hu Xiu looked at Xin Dutou strangely, looking at him like this, he was also a person who had read books, and he was really a person who couldn't be seen.

"Don't say whether you're knowledgeable or not, you take this."

As he spoke, he took out a glass of water from his sleeve.

"This is the cup taken out of Yan Yun's house, and there is still a trace of tea left over from his wife last night."

"My lord~ What are you doing stealing other people's cups?"

"Can a scholar take something, can it be called stealing? This is called the righteous and bright taking. ”

Hu Xiu's face was blank, and he said righteously.

"By the way, someone in your yamen can analyze what's in this water?"

In ancient times, there were no sophisticated instruments, so you need a pair of naked eyes to see what is wrong?

"Lao Ma is capable of doing this, in the past, some poisoned corpses were sent over, and he was able to find out what type of poison the deceased was, when it was poisoned, and even where it was sold.

It shouldn't be particularly difficult for adults to figure out what's in the water. ”

"Is this so demanding?"

When can a man have such a great ability?

"Lao Ma has been working as an errand boy in the yamen for more than ten years, no one knows his origin, and the people in the yamen also respect him more, I came out of a small family, and I have been working in the yamen for three years, but I don't know much about him."

"There is no shortage of capable people in the Yamen, and if you look at this peaceful city, it is also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the same outside world is even more so."

There are countless capable people, just like the one-armed uncle who has been working in the house in his palace, and the old man on the foot of the slope who guards the door in front of the Linglong Pavilion on the outskirts of Ping'an City, which one is not hiding some secrets, and it is not surprising that there is a master of drug identification now.

Ping'an City can be regarded as a river and lake, but at the feet of the Son of Heaven, although the undercurrent is surging, it is difficult to turn over the waves, but Ping'an City is still too small!

The outside world is very big, and Heian City is like a small drop of clear water, in the vast river, in the big river, only a corner of Erer.

Who has never had a heroic dream when he was a child, in the dream he held a six-foot Qingfeng sword in his hand, wore a long coat, rode a horse, wanted to be uneven, drew his sword to help him, killed the wicked, eliminated traitorous officials, drank and had fun, and laughed proudly between heaven and earth!

Hu Xiu's eyes flashed with a little yearning, I will never be able to achieve something in my last life, maybe I can be here in this life, I already have the six-foot Qingfeng sword, and I also have the heart to be happy, please wait for me in the rivers and lakes, I will stir up a wave that makes me happy!

The young man is not willing to be mediocre, his heart has drifted to the distance at some point, although he doesn't know what is in the distance, but as long as he is in the distance, there must be a different scenery.

"Haha~ Xin Dutou! Let's set off for Yamen! ”

Hu Xiu suddenly let out a long laugh, and Xin Du on his side jumped in shock, what happened to this master. But ~ at this time, he looks like a teenager, full of vitality.

……

In the yamen, in the mortuary, Ma Qizuo is still here, and he hasn't gone anywhere, this habit makes Hu Xiu think of a word: corpse lovers.

"Old horse, can you help me see if there is anything added to this water?"

Xin Du held the cup with a trace of tea left.

"He asked you to ask?"

He glanced at Hu Xiu and said lightly.

"Hmm."

"Okay, you wait here first, give me a quarter of an hour."

Ma Qizuo closed the mortuary, Hu Xiu and Xin Du glanced at each other, and smiled helplessly.

This horse is accurate, saying that it will take a quarter of an hour, that is, a quarter of an hour, but as soon as his hour comes, the door will open on time, and a yellowed piece of paper will be stuffed into Hu Xiu's hand.

"Everything the prince wants to know is here, but whether it works or not is none of my business."

Hu Xiu shrugged his shoulders stupidly, didn't pay attention to the pretense anymore, stared at the words on it tightly, and sighed secretly in his heart, "Okay, this case has finally found a breakthrough!"

PS: "Drain" is an ancient timer, made of copper with holes, can drip water or sand leakage, and has a scale mark to count time.
