After Fu Xiaotian hurriedly put on his clothes, he followed the little maid to the scene of the crime. According to what this little maid said, the dead person was their master, who was on an errand in the yamen ten years ago, named Jia Xiaoguang, and everyone called him Master Jia.

Soon, Fu Xiaotian and the others came to this Jia family, and it can be seen that this Jia family is not very big, just a small courtyard and a few rooms. But the situation is generally good.

After all, in this era, there are still maids to take care of it, which is still very good.

Fu Xiaotian walked in with everyone, because of Master Jia's death, the whole room was brightly lit, and an old woman and one or two maids knelt in front of the door, as if waiting for something.

Seeing Fu Xiaotian walking in, the old woman hurriedly cried and shouted: "My lord, you are here, our master died so miserably, I don't know which god killed him, he wanted to do this to us!" ”

Fu Xiaotian helped the old woman up and asked suspiciously, "Let me ask you, when did you find out that the old man died." What were you all doing at the time, and was anything out of the ordinary? ”

The old woman frowned, as if she had thought for a long time, and then said slowly: "It's such an adult, after the master came back from watching the play today, he first happily took a sip of wine. Then he turned and went to his study. ”

"I don't know what happened to him in the study, we just heard the old man scream, and then there was no sound. When we got in, the old man was dead. ”

"Oh, that's right, there's no movement, right?" Fu Xiaotian then asked.

The old woman shook her head: "No..."

Afterwards, Fu Xiaotian took Ban Yunyun and the two of them in, and all the others stayed outside to watch. Walking into this study, you can see that this old man Jia is sitting on a stool, and his head is resting on the table. At first glance, it was thought that he was just asleep.

However, when I looked closer, I found that behind the head of this Master Jia, there was a small section of the pen. What's going on? At this time, Fu Xiaotian slowly raised the head of this old man Jia. Only then did he find out that the rod had passed directly through his throat and pierced his head.

That's when the scene just came about.

Moreover, this old man Jia's lips were purple, and his eyes were wide and white. Along the tip of the pen, you can also see a puddle of coagulated blood on a piece of paper underneath the nib.

"This, it should have been poisoned. If I'm not mistaken, this Master Jia must like to bite the pen barrel, so the murderer just took advantage of this and smeared poison on the tail of the pen barrel. The time of death is probably the time of the child. Fu Xiaotian held his chin and reasoned.

At this time, Ban Yunyun pointed to a puppet next to him and said, "Look, the puppet, it still has no arms, what's going on?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Fu Xiaotian hurriedly picked up the puppet, and sure enough, it was still a puppet for five nights, and there was still a spell drawn on the back of the puppet.

"This, there is really another person dead, what is the relationship between this Master Jia and the other two deceased?" Fu Xiaotian was even more puzzled at this time, it stands to reason that there should be no connection between the three of them.

But there is still a suspicious place, that is, why does this old man come to the study in the middle of the night? I can't tell.

At this time, Ban Yunyun on the side shouted in some surprise: "Xianggong, look, how can there be a blank piece of paper here?" There's nothing on it. There are only traces of folds. ”

As soon as the words fell, Fu Xiaotian hurriedly walked to Ban Yunyun and picked up the paper, which could be seen that the white paper was boxy, and there were traces of being folded on it. It looks like it's wrapped in something?

"This piece of paper should also be a clue." Saying that, Fu Xiaotian carefully folded this one in half according to this pattern, it seems to be a long strip of wrapping.

Thinking of this, Fu Xiaotian put the paper in his pocket.

The scene has been investigated, but there are still many suspicions, this is another case of murder in a closed room.

Then, Fu Xiaotian walked out and asked the old woman, that is, Master Jia's wife: "Let me ask you, does your master usually have any hobbies, such as liking to bite the pen?" ”

The old woman hurriedly said, "Yes, my lord, basically everyone who is familiar with him knows this. When our lord is usually thinking or upset, he likes to bite the pen. Moreover, because the master used to be an errand boy in the yamen, he liked to stay in the study at night. This habit has been adhered to for many years. ”

"I see, it seems that this murderer has indeed taken advantage of this old man's habits. But how to explain when the puppet appeared, and what is wrapped in the paper? ”

Fu Xiaotian frowned at this time, and kept pacing in the courtyard. At this time, Xie Feikui's inquiry also rushed over, and now he was supposed to monitor them at the inn of the troupe.

Actually, Fu Xiaotian called him here, in order to ask if anyone could go down during this period of time.

"My lord, from the time these troupes left until they left, I was closely observing, and I didn't find anything abnormal, they all stayed obediently in their respective rooms." Xie Feikui said.

"Alas, okay, I see, you go back first, and continue to spy on them." Fu Xiaotian instructed.

Subsequently, the yamen carried the body of Master Jia to the yamen and waited for the autopsy. On the third night, another person died, still a puppet, is it possible, is there a fourth?

In desperation, Fu Xiaotian left with someone, and he didn't find any news. But what they didn't notice was that when they had all left, the old woman visibly relaxed her tense appearance, and breathed a sigh of relief, as if she was hiding something.

After returning to the Yamen, everyone was already tired, after all, they had just fallen asleep, and they were woken up, and their sleep was seriously insufficient. So, everyone didn't have time to think about anything else, so they just fell asleep.

Because he was too sleepy, after Fu Xiaotian woke up, it was already noon the next day, everyone else had already finished lunch, and Fu Xiaotian and Ban Yunyun were still sleeping.

But no one came to wake them up, and after waking up, Ban Yunyun didn't know what was wrong, and wanted to cook by herself, so she came to this firewood room and started to cook on the fire, but her face was covered with black ash, and she looked very cute.
