Before leaving, he didn't forget to tease, Han Jingxuan looked at Li Ze, sneered, and said lightly: "It's also idle, just come out for a stroll, but look at the blanket under Li Gongzi's feet as if it has just been soaked in tea, such a good blanket, if it is not cleaned up in time, it will really be a bad scenery!" ”

As he spoke, the eyes of the three people in the room focused on the blanket at Li Ze's feet, which was originally a good blanket, but a large tea stain suddenly appeared in the middle, and next to the tea stain, the outline of some fresh soil footprints was reflected in the eyes of the three of them.

Cao Heng and Han Jingxuan saw this thing on the ground, and naturally had a thought in their hearts, looking at the dirt footprints on the blanket, which were extremely fresh, and there were still a little dead branches on the footprints, and there was a little bit of broken grass on them.

"This is just now, the little guy accidentally stepped on the dirt outside, and knocked over the tea, and the people in the house have bad hands and feet, which makes the two of them laugh!" Li Ze glanced down and explained awkwardly.

Cao Heng and Han Jingxuan also pursed their lips and smiled, nodded, and then got up and said: "Okay, it's not too early, Li Gongzi should rest early, don't be busy anymore, we should go back too!" ”

After Cao Heng finished speaking, he turned his head and walked towards the door, bowing his head As he expected, there were also dirt-stained footprints on the threshold, only to see that he deliberately scratched his feet on the dirt on the footprints, and the fresh soil was taken away by him.

"Okay, let's go slowly!" Li Ze followed behind, beckoned a small servant, and sent the two of them out of the Li Mansion.

In the carriage, as soon as Cao Heng sat in, he took off his shoes.

"I said, what kind of shoes do you take off when you come in, they stink to death!" Han Jingxuan pretended to be very stinky, covered his nose, raised his hand and hit Cao Heng's back hard.

I saw Cao Heng glaring at Han Jingxuan, picked up the shoe under his feet, handed it to Han Jingxuan, and snorted coldly: "My feet don't stink, and look at the dirt on the soles of the shoes!" ”

As he spoke, Han Jingxuan sat upright, looked down at the soil on the soles of his shoes, which was the same as the one in the room just now, and the dead grass on it was a little inexplicably familiar.

"Look down at you!" Cao Heng said to Han Jingxuan again, and then put his shoes back on his feet.

Look at the soles of Han Jingxuan's shoes, there are also exactly the same dead grass and soil, this....

In the carriage, the two looked at each other, but they understood everything.

After a while, I saw Cao Heng looking at Han Jingxuan, and said in a deep voice: "Li Ze was waiting for us early, which means that he already knew that we were coming to him, so we couldn't ask anything, and the owner of the footprints on the carpet probably gave him a message, and the tea was also overturned, coming and going in a hurry, not paying attention, there were footprints on the threshold of the study, and there was a dispute between the two of them!" ”

Han Jingxuan lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "You said that when we were in the western suburbs, that person was also in the western suburbs?" But looking at the footprints on the carpet are larger than ordinary people, and the fur on the blanket is much more collapsed than the surrounding ones, then this person should be thick and not light! ”

"There's a good chance this person is the murderer!" Cao Heng answered.

For a while, there was silence in the carriage, the two looked at each other, but neither spoke, but now, the murderer was only one step away from them.

"Li Ze has something to do with this, looking for someone to keep an eye on him?" Han Jingxuan raised his eyebrows and asked Cao Heng, who was sitting on the side.

But I saw Cao Heng shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "No need, this person will not come to Li Ze again, there should be no more contact between the two of them, now it is certain that the capital is still in the capital, and it should want to escape, just let the various exits of the capital set up more card points!" ”

Han Jingxuan nodded, after all, Cao Heng still had to make up his mind about this matter, and he had actually crossed the line when he came over today.

Now it's the middle of the night, the two of them also go back, even if this matter is to be investigated quickly, but also have to rest, the clear moon hangs in the air, the light of Qingming seems to cover the entire capital with a thin layer of bedding, so that the people here can sleep peacefully.

The next morning, the sun did not come out, the weather changed again, the wind was whistling, and the clouds in the sky blocked the sunlight that should have come out.

The wind was biting, the swallow went out and walked two steps, and felt that it was too cold, so he went back and wrapped a thick cloak, and then went out, and now they said that they were going to see Miss Chunlan, the coffin was placed on Teng Er's side, and now Qiao'er and Xiqing are taken care of by Teng Er.

Yanzi Qian Ma and Rong Yue, the three of them passed together in a carriage, and when they arrived at the door, they saw the white silk hanging on the door, and the whole courtyard was shrouded in a heavy and sad atmosphere, although Chunlan had not come to the capital for a long time, but when she arrived at the Moon Shadow Building, there were indeed many people who liked them, and now there are really a lot of people who come to send them.

When he was walking to the courtyard, he saw Qiao'er and Xiqing not far away, and the three of them glanced at each other, and then strode over, after all, this matter was their Moon Shadow Building's negligence, and it was their Moon Shadow Building who was sorry for their three sisters first.

"I'm sorry! Please mourn! Qian Ma walked in front of the two of them, bowed her head and said in a deep voice.

Later, Yanzi and Rong Yue, who followed behind Qian's mother, also bent down to apologize, looking at the two sisters, they are also a lot haggard now, and Qiao'er's eyes are red and swollen, which makes people feel distressed.

Xiqing nodded, but still stepped forward to help Qian Ma and the others, and after a few words of greeting, Qian Ma took Yanzi Rongyue and the two to incense Chunlan.

People in this courtyard come and go, although they are all here to give Chunlan a stick of incense and send her off, but out of this door, there are still a lot of gossips.

"Did you hear about it, there was an accident in the capital last night! It's in the western suburbs of the capital! A mother-in-law stood outside the courtyard and whispered to a few women next to her.

"What's the matter, this Chunlan girl from the capital has just left, why is there an accident again!"

The woman's face was solemn, she looked left and right, covered her mouth and whispered to a few women beside her: "Yesterday, three corpses were dug up in the courtyard in the western suburbs, and they were all girls, I heard that one was dug out in a dry well!" It's scary! ”

At this point, several obedient women were taken aback and hurriedly retreated.

"It's really fake, no one lives in this western suburbs on weekdays!" One of the women asked curiously, covering her daughter's ear, frowning.
