The backyard of the Supo Pavilion, inside the hall house.

Su Duchen sat on the top, and in front of him stood Fu Lengshuang, who had bowed his head and wept softly, he hadn't seen for a long time.

When he was still in Huaizhou, Su Duchen received a letter from Cuizhuzhuang. The letter was written by Fu Lengshuang, and the general content was: I met a fellow villager on the streets of Xuzhou, and learned that my sister was in Qi County, and she wanted to find someone. Cuizhuzhuang is short of manpower, and Wanggongzi sends someone to take over her work. Su Duchen asked Wu Zhongzheng to take his daughter-in-law to Cuizhuzhuang to take over.

Fu Lengshuang, who has not heard from him for nearly two months, is actually in the capital. What I didn't expect was that one of the two surviving women was actually her sister.

After some questioning and verification by the government, it was believed that they did not have the ability to commit the crime - the powerlessness of the chicken was one of them, and the source of the poison was unclear, mainly because they did not have the way and time to buy the medicine. The woman fled more than half a month ago, and the guards in the courtyard were strengthened, and except for one hour in the courtyard to practice walking, the rest of the time was locked in the house. The room can't take a single step, where does the poison come from.

Fu Lengshuang's younger sister's name is Fu Xuening, nicknamed Xue Niang. The other is called Jinyu, one year older than Xue Niang, seventeen years old. The spirit of the two people after waking up is not bad, but the body is weak and needs to recuperate for a period of time. Su Duchen found a small courtyard on South Street for the Fu sisters to live temporarily. As for that Jinyu, it is said that a fellow villager took her home.

"Thank you for your kindness, Leng Shuang doesn't know what to ......," Fu Lengshuang choked up.

"You know my temperament, so there is no need to say polite words. During this time, it is most important to appease your sister well. Say something about what is missing in the yard and let Chen Yong buy it. Su Duchen waved his hand and said softly.

Fu Lengshuang nodded shyly and said, "Thank you, Childe!" The cold frost said goodbye first. ”

"Hmm."

……………………

Inside the restaurant box.

Su Duchen looked at Tang Yunwen, who was frowning, and put a piece of meat into his bowl, and said, "In other words, the case is frozen, and that grandma has been killed?" ”

The case of the Dongjie Courtyard was confusing, first the owner of the courtyard came out to interfere with the Yamen's handling of the case, and then the backer behind the owner of the courtyard also spoke: Such a simple case cannot be handled, what use do you want! Such an obvious means of killing people must have been done by people who entered and exited the courtyard, and if they didn't arrest people, what were they doing in the yamen! In and out of the words, the real murderer can't be caught, and it is better to catch a few dead ghosts and close the case, which is better than now.

The tall man was so anxious that his mouth was blistered. He has been checking for so many days, and there are indeed two suspects, but unfortunately the building was empty when he went to look for it. In a hurry, one of the suspects, Mama, showed her traces.

After investigation - in half a year, this grandmother went in batches and made dozens of trips to buy machine pulling drugs (also known as strychnine) in more than a dozen pharmacies. From the bodies of the deceased, it can be seen that the dose of poison they gave was so heavy that not only did their bodies twist to the point that they could not be formed, but they even bled to death.

When the tall man led people to find Mama, the people had been killed. The tall man was so angry that he stomped his feet and shouted a step too late. Now the yamen has designated another suspect as a repeat offender and is making an all-out search.

"That Jinyu is not lightly ill, and yesterday I asked a doctor to go to the outpatient clinic for treatment. I can't sleep, I can't sleep, I have nightmares when I close my eyes, poor thing! By the way, what's the situation with that snow lady? Do you need me to ask the doctor to come to the door, he has good medical skills. Tang Yunwen sighed again and again. The tragic situation at the scene flashed in front of him, and he couldn't sleep well when he saw it, let alone a weak woman.

"Did you meet that Jinyu?" Su Duchen asked with a twisted eyebrow.

"I met two days ago, skinny, with a bad face, and asked if Xue Niang's body was better. It's rare to be able to care about others when you're too busy to take care of yourself. Tang Yunwen sighed again.

Su Duchen touched his chin and frowned, "Didn't she go back with her fellow countryman, where did you meet her?" ”

"Two days ago, I was going to meet in the middle of the Yamen. She is too poor to walk far, and plans to recuperate for a while before leaving, and currently lives in an old house on West Street. Tang Yunwen thought for a while.

Su Duchen frowned, always feeling that something was wrong with this woman. But on her own, it is absolutely impossible to kill more than two dozen people, if she has helpers—Mama counts as one—the escaped nursing home counts as one. It is reasonable for the servants to join forces, poison and then slaughter. The question is, why didn't she kill Xue Niang?

"What, you think there's something wrong with her?" Tang Yunwen looked at Su Duchen and frowned and didn't speak, and asked.

"Did Jinyu ask you about the progress of your case?" Su Duchen said.

Tang Yunwen thought about it, then shook his head and said, "She didn't ask." On the contrary, I saw that she was in too bad condition, and comforted her that the suspect had a goal. asked her casually, do you know if there are any acquaintances in the courtyard. ”

This coincides, and Su Duchen connects a line in his heart. But the most important link of this line is blocked, and Xue Niang can't get through. I don't understand why more than 20 people have died out, why she is left alone?

"I still have some things to figure out, I'll tell you when I've figured it out." Su Duchen said.

……………………

South Street Courtyard.

"Childe, please take a seat." Fu Lengshuang was dressed in plain clothes, looking happy and relaxed. Nearly two years of running around and perilous days have passed, and she has found her only relative. Compared with the previous thorny Fu Lengshuang, the current Fu Lengshuang makes people feel warm, and the aura of maternal love is added.

"I'm used to living here for the past two days, is there anything missing?" Su Duchen smiled lightly.

"No, no, no, no. Brother Chen came to ask this morning. Oh, by the way, Xue Niang came over and saw Su Gongzi. Fu Lengshuang pulled the snow lady hiding by the door into the house with a happy face.

The same is a simple and regular clothes, Xue Niang is a little shy, her legs with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes are slightly bent, she bows her head slightly, and says: "Xue Niang has seen Su Gongzi, Gongzi An." ”

Compared with Fu Lengshuang's cold and handsome, Xue Niang's appearance is three points more beautiful than her sister, and her posture is charming and moving. Such a woman can definitely make a man feel protective and pity. The two sisters complement each other well.

Su Duchen lowered his eyes and smiled, and said lightly: "Miss Fu doesn't have to be polite. Are you used to living here? If you need something, just ask, and I'll call someone to make it up. ”

Xue Niang shook her head lightly and whispered, "Get used to it." Everything is complete, thank you Childe. ”

After a few pleasantries, Su Duchen got up to say goodbye. He couldn't stay long at the residence of the two women. Today, he's mainly here to solve puzzles.

Su Duchen walked to the courtyard gate, glanced behind him with a light smile, and got into the carriage with a light smile. Through the bamboo curtain on the carriage, Su Duchen looked out of the carriage, and the two sisters saw him leave with a smile and a reluctant look.

In just a few days, two women who survived the bloody land are two completely different sides. One is still crumbling, and now this one actually wants to be seductive with beauty. Should he praise them for their acting skills, or should he praise them for their courage!

At night, the second floor of the South Street Market Teahouse is still a window position. However, this time the window was slightly closed, and Su Duchen and Tang Yunwen sat face to face.

Tang Yunwen looked at the opposite alley through the crack in the window and said, "Jinyu will really come to find Xue Niang?" ”

Su Duchen put one hand on his cheek and said, "If there is reasonable doubt in the case, we have to verify it." ”

Tang Yunwen savored this sentence, and then began to recite the words: "The nursing home was poisoned, the women were stunned, and then hacked to death with knives, it should be said that the strength of the shot was light and heavy." If it is said that the inside should be combined with the outside, then the killer invited must be good. Even if it's not a killer, it can't be this knife technique. The poison is in the wine, and the dosage is said to be able to kill ten cows in that dose, which shows the cruelty of the heart. Knowing when they drink and when they go to bed, there is no doubt about the insiders. If it was Jinyu, then why did she let Xue Niang go? Is it because she is the only one who survives and is afraid that it will be too eye-catching, so she chooses someone to be her companion? That grandmother must have been killed because she was afraid that she would be arrested and confessed. Oops! Mama's death, I'm at fault, it's me...... I leaked! Tang Yunwen reacted in a circle, and he told Jinyu about the case.

Su Duchen smiled suddenly, waved his hand, and said, "If you don't say it, she will know." She pretended to be weak, and if she went to the yamen to ask someone, anyone would be hooked. You don't have to worry about that. ”

"Huh! Think about how reckless I was. But she, she, how could she ......" Tang Yunwen was aggrieved. After thinking about it, my back was cold, women are really ruthless!

"Fu Xiao, the two of them appeared!" The pendant on his chest flashed, and Jun Lian said.

Su Duchen got up, looked out through the crack in the window, and thought to himself: "I can't see it here, are they in the inner alley?" ”

Junlian: "Yes, we just met. There's an old tree in the alley, and you used to hide there. ”

"Let's go, they're here." Su Duchen said a word and walked downstairs.

The alley is not far from the courtyard where the Fu sisters live. During the day, Jinyu went to the Fu family's courtyard, it was estimated that Fu Lengshuang was at home, and left after saying a few polite words. Before leaving, Jinyu whispered to Xue Niang and asked her to meet her in the alley at night.

The two people hiding behind the old tree were too far away from them to hear what they were saying, and Tang Yunwen was a little anxious.

Su Duchen pulled Tang Yunwen and told him not to move. This alley is the only place where you can hide, and if you go any further, it will be exposed. There is no way, the content of the conversation between the two can only rely on Junlian.

The conversation between Jinyu and Xue Niang was not long, it was very peaceful, and there was no dispute. After a while, one left and one left.

On the way back to the teahouse, the depressed Tang Yunwen walked in front, and Su Duchen walked behind, listening to Junlian talk about their conversation as they walked.

Jinyu: "I'm going to leave the day after tomorrow, you should leave quickly, you can't stay in the capital." ”

Xue Niang: "I can't leave now, you can see it, now my sister is in charge." ”

Jinyu: "How can you lie to your sister, you should know, it's best to leave tomorrow." Sister Jinyu is for your good, if I am arrested, it will be a big deal to be locked up for a few years, you will be different, think about it. ”

Xue Niang: "If my sister doesn't leave, I really can't leave." ”

Jinyu: "I know your thoughts, do you have a crush on the one surnamed Su?" It's a pity ......"

Xue Niang: "What a pity! I'm worse than anyone! ”

Jinyu: "I'm done with what I should say, it's up to you whether you listen or not." ”

Xue Niang: "Got it, I'll find a way to go." ”

Jinyu: "Well, this is the last time I'll see you, and we'll go our separate ways in the future." ”
