Since the last time they met in the brothel, Shiqing has disappeared, and she hasn't even shown up on the day the Manichaeans attacked, and Shen Huan doesn't know how she's doing now and when she'll see her again.

Suppressing his thoughts about Shiqing, and Song Shi and they left the morgue, Liu Zhixian made a cup of tea early and sat them down.

"Virtuous nephew, do you have any eyebrows?" Liu Zhixian asked.

Shen Huandao: "Now it can be determined that the deceased was poisoned by arsenic, arsenic is a highly toxic thing, subject to very strict control, the pharmacy in the city will not sell at will, even if it is used to kill insects and rodents, the name and address of the purchaser will be recorded when the pharmacy is sold." We are now going to visit the pharmacies all over the city to see who has bought this poison and see what we find. ”

Song Shi interjected: "There are so many people in the city, and now that spring has just begun, it is the time when there are the most rats and insects, and I am afraid there will be no fewer people who use arsenic to kill rats and insects!" It's too much to check like this, right? ”

"You're right! However, all homicide cases, the murderer's purpose of killing can usually be divided into such categories, love, hate, affection, and hatred are nothing more than that, except for some serial killers, no one will kill people for no reason, think about it, under what circumstances will the murderer peel off the skin of the deceased and make the deceased unrecognizable? If it were you, what kind of relationship with the dead would drive you to do this? ”

Song Shi didn't want to reply: "It's very simple! I don't want people to identify the deceased! ”

"That's right! That's a reason! But we have now confirmed that the deceased is the young lady of the Gu family! The murderer did not take the body of the deceased away from the scene after committing the crime, destroying the body, and hanging it on the beams of the house in such a grand manner! In this way, how can it be said that they want to hide the identity of the deceased? Think about what other reasons there are. ”

"Uh...... I don't know......" Song Shi thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of any other reason......

At this moment, I heard Liu Zhixian suddenly say: "Do you think the murderer will be a woman?"

"Why do you say that?" Xing Zhutou asked.

"Alas...... Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read......"

County Magistrate Liu Zhi sighed and talked about the contradictions in his family. It turned out that since Liu Zhixian accepted a concubine, he more or less snubbed his wife. At first, Mrs. Liu was quite pot-bellied, but as Liu Zhixian's love for the concubine deepened, Mrs. Liu began to have resentment in her heart, and she often went to find trouble with the concubine! At first, the concubine could endure it, but since she had Liu Zhixian's old son in her belly, she also began to fight back with the child in her belly. This has come and gone, and the beams of the two are getting deeper and deeper! Although it seems to outsiders that their family is still harmonious, there is a turbulent dark tide inside! Once there was a conflict between them, Liu Zhixian even heard his wife say cruel words in a hurry that she wanted to tear off the concubine's face!

Although it was angry talk, this incident undoubtedly gave Liu Zhixian a wake-up call! It is very scary for a woman to be jealous! Sometimes once you get dizzy, you may do something out of the ordinary! For the sake of his flowery concubine, and for the sake of his precious old man, Liu Zhixian had no choice but to temporarily arrange his concubine back to his hometown and temporarily separate the two of them.

Liu Zhixian's story did not arouse Shen Huan's ridicule, since ancient times, few people can enjoy the blessing of Qi people comfortably, all the men present can understand his thoughts! However, Liu Zhixian's family affairs also provided a very powerful evidence for Shen Huan's speculation!

"That's right! Most of the people who have this kind of thinking are women, because they are jealous of the other party's appearance and family background, and because of jealousy and hatred, they will have this kind of behavior. I just found a shallow woman's footprint on the beam of the house at the scene, judging from the location and direction of the footprint, it is very likely that it was left by the murderer! But even so, there is one point that doesn't make sense! Under normal circumstances, if you are jealous, it is also disfigured, and a woman will only scratch the other party's face at most when dealing with a woman! Why is it necessary to peel off the whole face? ”

Speaking of this, Xing Zhutou suddenly remembered last year's serial murder case, and exclaimed: "Do you think this murderer is also a villain with Liang Ke who has a special collection habit?" She picks beautiful girls to start with, and then peels off the skin when she's done! As a collection? Ah! Could this be another serial murder case? ”

"Brother Headcatcher's words are good! It's very possible! But throughout the history of Jiangyin, there has never been such a case, at least none of us have heard of it, and there is no record in the county! You must know that serial murderers will arouse their killing intent every time a special environmental stimulus, which is impossible to bear, and there are a lot of beautiful girls in us, and there are not a few who marry every year. ”

After listening to Shen Huan's analysis, Liu Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not a serial murder case, then his pressure would not be too great! If you really can't solve the case, it's a big deal and drag it out! As long as you put it off until you retire, you'll be fine! Of course, he hoped that Shen Huan could help him solve this case and earn another credit! After all, who would think that their own credit is less, right?

Shen Huan continued: "Why did the murderer peel off Miss Gu's face, it is still a mystery, but as long as it is not a serial killer who committed the crime, then the murderer will definitely be inextricably linked with the Gu family, or Miss Gu Family, as long as we exclude those irrelevant, the scope of the murderer will be narrowed a lot."

Song Shi immediately understood: "Are you saying that now as long as we find out which of the people in the * have conflicts with the Gu family, we can find the murderer?"

"Of course, not only that, we also need to go to the Gu family and ask Gu Yiming if there are any enemies in their family, or who Miss Gu has had a dispute with, and further narrow down the scope."

"Okay! I'll explain it right away! After hearing this, Xing Zhutou turned around and took his brother to the street to investigate.

It was almost dusk, and Liu Zhixian wanted to invite them to stay for dinner, but they were pushed away by Shen Huan and went to Li's house. Li Cheng seemed to know that they were coming, so he prepared the wine and food early, all of which were loved by Shen Huan and Song Shi.

Pouring a glass of wine, Li Cheng said to Shen Huan: "Virtuous nephew, seeing that this year's autumn exam is getting closer and closer, you don't have to think about the case every day, you have to review your homework well, and then it is the right way to get a fame!"

"Uncle Li, I understand this, but I'm really not interested in the imperial examination."

"What? Didn't it land a few times! I think that my two sons also fell to Sun Shan a few times before the title of the gold list, and in the end, they were not in high school! ”

Li Cheng thought that Shen Huan was disheartened by the few times he had fallen and cheered him up. However, Shen Huan didn't think so, although he fused all the memories, knowledge, and emotions of this body, but he was always a modern person who had traveled back in time, and although it was not difficult to let himself write that awkward article and strategy, he always felt nondescript and couldn't arouse a little interest. This is to let him go to the imperial examination, not to mention high school, it is difficult to say whether his essay examiner will read it...... What's more, the current officialdom is too muddy......

"Oh, by the way, did the two brothers, Yicheng and Yixian (the characters of Li Cheng's two sons), say when they will come back to visit your old man?" Shen Huan changed the subject.

"They? Busy! It is said that these two boys were transferred to Huzhou Zhizhou and Huizhou Sima respectively, and they are on their way to their posts, so I am afraid that they will not have time to come back to see me. ”

Shen Huan congratulated: "It turns out that the two brothers have been promoted?" What a gratifying congratulations! ”

"I don't think it's a matter of whether you are promoted or not, the most important thing is whether you can ensure that you are honest, in recent years, the atmosphere in the imperial court has begun to get worse and worse, and officials everywhere are corrupt, I am really afraid that the two of them will not be able to resist the temptation." Li Cheng was not too happy, but had a sense of worry......

"Uncle Li, the two brothers were personally taught by you since childhood, so don't worry!"

"Haha! That's right! A little sycophant slapped over, Li Cheng felt very comfortable!

"Uncle Li, are you worried that the two brothers can't stand the temptations in the officialdom, aren't you afraid that I will be admitted to fame, and I won't be able to stand the temptation to become a big corrupt official?"

"You? No! Li Cheng glanced at him, smiled, and looked confident!

"Why?"

Li Chengzheng said: "Because I see a trace of fearless righteousness in you, haven't you noticed this?" If one day you are in a high position, I really hope that you can rectify the situation, clear the wrongs and ban violence, and eliminate corruption! Give the people of the world a clear world! ”

"Gotta get it! Uncle Li, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes! You'd better let the two brothers go! I'm not interested! Besides, the two elder brothers are now officials of the imperial court, and I am still a grass citizen, and I don't even have a daughter-in-law! ”

"Haha! None of this is a problem! I'll give you a daughter-in-law tomorrow! Guarantee...... Oh!!!! ”

Li Cheng didn't finish speaking, and screamed in pain! was quietly pinched by Ye Feixue! Seeing that her eyes were full of threat, Li Cheng smiled awkwardly and didn't say any more. As if sensing something, Mrs. Li looked at her husband and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh secretly......
