() The fire on Midsummer Eve six years ago burned for a whole day and night, destroying countless neighborhoods and causing immeasurable property damage. That night has become a nightmare in the hearts of many people.

Fortunately, after the fire was extinguished, Huang Zhong, on behalf of the entire Nanyang County, called on wealthy businessmen to raise donations, and used the money raised to rebuild their homes for the affected people, so that the Guanzhou capital could be stabilized. The prestige of the county guard Huang Zhong also skyrocketed in that incident, and he became the most beloved official by the people.

Jun Qinglan took a deep breath, and it took a long time to calm down her breath.

"That fire burned for too long, and everything that was attached to the corpse would be completely refined together with the corpse because of the fire. If they die in a fire, the large amount of soot inhaled from their mouths and noses will become char after a day and night of burning, and eventually attach to the bones. However, the bones in the muzzle and nose of all the bones did not appear to be unusually protruding. ”

Jun Qinglan's expression gradually became solemn: "This is enough to show that they died long before the fire." Fire is just a means to cover up people's eyes and destroy corpses. ”

"And the real cause of their death ......." Jun Qinglan frowned fiercely: "It's old, and the corpse is not well preserved, it's really ...... I can't see it. ”

When she said this, she was very regretful. Jun Qinglan is a man, she has always known the importance of corpses to solve cases, she has investigated and examined countless corpses in her life, but today she examines the corpses of her relatives...... Unable to get the corpse to speak. Jun Qinglan frowned slightly, the pain in her heart couldn't be expressed in words.

"If you're not calm enough, you're going to miss the opportunity." Li Congyao stood with his hands tied, staring at Jun Qinglan with long and narrow phoenix eyes for a moment. His eyes moved slightly, as if he was a little unbearable, but he didn't say anything to comfort him, and he didn't tell himself to be closer to her.

"Opportunity?" Jun Qinglan raised her head, slightly confused in her eyes.

The body has long been destroyed, Huang Yuan is dead, and he is riddled with lawsuits. Does she have any other head start?

Li Congyao looked at her for a long time, but only shook his head: "You just checked it, but you weren't careful enough!" ”

Jun Qinglan lowered her eyes, she asked herself about the week, and she was never hasty. But, where would Li Congyao wronged her casually? What exactly was she missing?

The woman's clear eyes looked at the four scorched bones on the ground one by one, but the bottom of her eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately squatted down. The slender fingers caressed the most slender and small corpse.

That's the body of the pendant!

Shen'er was able to be buried with Qin Yu's family because the world regarded her as Qin Wei. But Jun Qinglan knows better than anyone that she is just a poor child who died for herself. So, after digging up the bones, she focused her attention on her parents and brother, and the bones of the pendant were always put aside and never looked at.

Ms. Li said she was not careful in examining the body. Isn't it careless? She hadn't even seen the pendant!

Now looking at the thin bones, Jun Qinglan only feels mixed feelings. Just a little bit, the person lying here has become her, then, the Qin family will never see the light of day again. This kid ...... After all, she can't be allowed to die in vain.

She scrutinized the bones in front of her.

He was just ten years old when he died, he was about malnourished, very thin, and not very tall. In fact, the gap with Qin Wei at that time was still a bit big, and it was really not easy to deceive those officers and soldiers. Jun Qinglan's hand

His finger slid slowly over the bones of the pendant, and suddenly stopped somewhere, and his eyes gradually narrowed.

"It's ...... here." She pondered for a moment, and then her expression added a little horror: "There is a dent here, three inches long and two points into the bone, as if it was left after being cut by a sharp weapon. She ...... the pendant. ”

Jun Qinglan raised her head and looked at Li Congyao, and anger gradually grew in her eyes: "Shen'er died of this knife wound!" ”

The flesh of the pendant had long since disappeared, and the scars of the two parts could still be seen on her charred bones. Naturally, the knife had to cut through her flesh and skin to achieve such an effect. An injury so severe that it could kill a person.

Li Congyao narrowed his eyes: "Are there any others?" ”

"Not really." Jun Qinglan's eyebrows were never relieved: "The bones of my father, brother and mother ......." ”

She turned her head slightly, looked at the three bones placed on Shen'er's side, and said, "Their bones have no obvious external injuries, their legs curled up when they died, and their knees almost reached their chests. The hands are clenched into fists, which shows the ...... He had experienced great pain before he died. ”

"Being burned by the flames should be the ultimate pain in the world."

"You can say that, but ......." Jun Qinglan groaned and said: "There is no soot in their mouths and noses, and if such a death is said to be burned, I think it is more like ...... Poisoning. ”

Jun Qinglan pondered for a long time, and finally came up with a conclusion.

Poisoning? It's poisoning!

She had such suspicions in her mind for a long time, but she couldn't think of a reason for their poisoning, so she always hesitated. When he really told him about the poisoning, he immediately strengthened his faith. The posture of Qin Yu, Qin Zhao and Mrs. Qin's corpses is indeed the same as the posture presented after the poison death.

"This fire is wonderful!" Jun Qinglan gritted her teeth: "The flesh, blood, and even bones of poisoned people will change, no matter how clever the poison is, it can't match the strength of Huang Lao's autopsy skills after all." Therefore, after the murderer killed the murderer, he set a fire, which not only burned all the traces of the murder at the scene, but also covered up all the traces of poisoning. The flesh and blood were gone, and the bones of the incinerated corpse were originally black. What a good means! ”

Jun Qinglan really couldn't understand what kind of enemy his father and brother had provoked, and how big a grudge was this to make people resort to such a means? What's even more puzzling is that people who are obviously locked up in the same courtyard use two different methods to kill people?

There must be some secret hidden in this!

"This grudge looks like it's not small." Li Congyao looked at Jun Qinglan and said lightly: "The ** of the Ten is someone who is familiar with your father and brother. This man is even very familiar with you. ”

Whether it is Qin Yu or Qin Zhao, they are both civil and military. Especially Qin Yu, when he was young, he led the government soldiers to quell the bandits several times, and he can be regarded as a battle-hardened person. There is only one possibility for such a person to be poisoned, and the person who poisoned them is an acquaintance of them, and they have been poisoned without their defense. After all, Qin Yu and Qin Zhao's bones could not show any traces of struggle, it should be active poisoning.

Jun Qinglan did not refute, the thoughts in her heart coincided with Li Congyao. But......

"At that time, the Jiedu Envoy's mansion had been closely monitored by the soldiers and horses of the Huang County Guard, and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will. If the murderer wants to succeed, he must not only break through the control of the government soldiers, but also gain the trust of my father, brother and mother, and even more without the government soldiers knowing.

Nearly 100 people in the Qin Mansion were killed. It's not hard to do all this, but it's hard to do it quietly. I....... ”

Jun Qinglan took a deep breath: "I really can't think of when such a powerful figure is hidden in the Guanzhou Mansion." ”

"It's actually not as hard as you think." Li Congyao said: "This person only needs to be able to do one thing. ”

Jun Qinglan looked at Li Congyao quietly and asked with her eyes.

"He just needs to be familiar with both the Fu Bing and the Qin family, and even be trusted by all of them!"

Jun Qinglan frowned, is there such a person in Guanzhou Mansion? It doesn't make sense at all!

Being able to kill the Qin family must have a deep grudge against the Qin family, how can such a person be trusted by Qin Yu? The Qin family was convicted, and people who were familiar with the Qin family were suspected of rebellion, and could they still be trusted by Huang Zhong?

There are contradictions everywhere.

"Why not?" Li Congyao hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and his smile was clearly undisguised sarcastic: "You should have some rules in your heart about this person's identity, but you just don't want to admit it." ”

The man's eyes were like torches, staring at Jun Qinglan for a moment: "He is used to entering and leaving the Qin Mansion freely, and he has a close relationship with your family." At the same time, he often goes in and out of the yamen, and there are certainly not a few friends in the yamen. This man ....... ”

Li Congyao's eyes became cold: "You can think about it, there must be such a person around you." Who should have died in such a calamity, but was able to survive alone. Even, unscathed. ”

"You ...... what you say." Jun Qinglan raised her eyebrows, and there was clearly a bit of resistance in her voice: "Are you talking about Mo Bai?" ”

"He's suspicious, isn't he?"

Li Congyao looked at Jun Qinglan with sharp eyes: "He was originally a subordinate in your mansion, but he escaped from that disaster because his father recorded it in your uncle's name. Don't you think that timing is too coincidental? ”

"I ......." Jun Qinglan subconsciously opened her mouth to defend herself, but Li Congyao didn't give him that opportunity.

"It's a secret that you and I travel today, why can he keep up? I can't think of any explanation other than being secretly watching us all morning. And he appeared just to see Lord Qin's corpse with his own eyes. ”

Li Congyao sneered and said: "The bones of the Qin family, apart from you, only the real murderer cares!" ”

Li Congyao's words are reasonable, but ...... Jun Qinglan doesn't think this is true.

"Mo Bai was brought back to the mansion by my father to raise him when he was very young, he was gentle and humble by nature, he was very loved, and his father treated him like a parent, I really can't think of any reason for him to destroy the Qin family. He is just an orphan, but the affairs of the Qin family are a big net that is carefully woven, and the strength of one person is not enough to succeed at all. If Mo Bai had that ability, why did he need to send someone under the fence and be a slave in the Qin family for many years? ”

"After the accident in the Qin family, he was not unimplicated. He was imprisoned along with the nine clans of the Qin clan, and if it weren't for the emperor's gratitude to the ancestors of the Qin clan for his pardon, he would have died long ago. Not to mention the ...... later. ”

What she saw and heard in the black camp and the white camp suddenly floated in Jun Qinglan's heart, and she took a deep breath to suppress the sadness in her heart.

"And ......."

Her voice paused, and she looked at Li Congyao, and she was also a little sharp: "Why did Mo Bai follow us, don't you really know?" ”
