"Two murderers, one murderer is enough of a headache, there are even two more, there are no clues about the murderer at all now, and time is running out." Li Yutang sighed, unspeakably depressed in his heart.

"My lord, block Qingyue Tower first, the more murderers commit crimes, the more horses and feet will be exposed." Yu Qiye said.

"How?" Li Yutang was puzzled.

"My lord, you see, when Xiao Gu and I came in before, the doors and windows were locked, I took a look, there is no other place to enter this room, if you enter from the roof, it is impossible, the roof of this room is not like the roof of our county government, it has a compartment.

But I found a thin mark on the latch of the door, which was a kind of hidden weapon similar to silk thread. ”

Yu Qiye picked up the small dagger and continued: "According to the comparison of the wounds of the old bustard and the fourth lady, this dagger is not the dagger that killed the fourth lady. ”

"This is indeed not the dagger that killed the fourth lady."

Li Yutang said: "Just before coming here, the dagger that killed the fourth lady had been salvaged in a small river in the courtyard of the Lin Mansion. ”

"Such a cunning murderer, he really snuffed out one clue after another."

Yu Qiye pointed to the envelope and said firmly: "After the murderer killed the old bustard, he left this letter, he must have wanted the adult to overturn the case for Lu Yan, when the adult overturned the case, in view of the murderer's behavior of following us to the mass grave, the murderer must be a careful and bold person, and the murderer will definitely come to the county government to watch. ”

"Well, the official will arrange it properly." Li Yutang nodded.

Coming out of Qingyue Tower, Yu Qiye took Xiao Gu and Zhao Zhongjun to have a lunch first, and then went to Lu Yan's house.

Lu Yan's house is not in the county, at the foot of a low mountain outside the county, here is sparsely populated, surrounded by a small forest, not far from the front of the house there is a small river flowing down from the edge of the low mountain, early that morning, Lu Yan said that he was fishing by this river, and swimming fish could be seen in the river.

Yu Qiye opened the door of the fence yard and walked into the yard, the weeds in the yard were scarce, if no one lived here for three years, it should be overgrown with weeds, and someone deliberately cleaned it regularly.

The door lock is an old lock, but the keyhole is not rusty, and someone often rubs the key to insert it.

With a bang, slam the door lock.

With the crunch of the door being opened, the three of them walked into the room.

Well ventilated and no musty smell.

There is no dust on the tabletop.

The room, bedroom, hall, study, cleaned up very clean.

"Somebody lives here or comes here every few days to clean up." Yu Qiye made a deduction in his heart, and he picked up a painting on the desk, which was Lu Yan's painting, with Lu Yan's title on it.

Low mountains, rivers, fishermen, a beautiful back silently stood beside the fisherman, watching the fisherman catch a big fish.

This painting depicts the scene in front of Lu Yan's house, the fisherman represents Lu Yan, and the beautiful back next to him may be someone close to Lu Yan, or Lu Yan's friend or confidante.

There are also several paintings on the desk, all of which are landscapes, and each of them mentions a poem.

Feng Lang bowed his head and smiled, and Biyu scratched his head and fell into the water.

This is Bai Juyi's lotus picking song in the Tang Dynasty.

"What a bamboo pole, what a fish tail!"

This is the white-headed chant of Zhuo Wenjun of the Western Han Dynasty.

It turned out that this was the process of Lu Yan and the woman in the painting falling in love, from knowing each other to falling in love, it was really a good dog food.

In this way, the murderer may be the woman in the painting, and the woman who fell in love with Lu Yan came to avenge Lu Yan, but this woman was not mentioned in Lu Yan's case file.

The figure that Xiao Gu saw, the figure was not tall and thin, it must be the woman in the painting, this is the murderer outside, so who is the woman in the Lin Mansion and the woman in the painting who reported the news?

Zhao Zhongjun walked over, looked at the painting and said, "Brother Yu, is the little lady in this painting Lu Yan's sweetheart, but I haven't heard of Lu Yan's sweetheart?" ”

"If I had heard that Lu Yan had a sweetheart, Lin Jiu'an's case would have been solved a long time ago." Yu Qiye said with white eyes.

"Brother Yu, do you think the little lady in this painting is the murderer?" Zhao Zhongjun exclaimed.

"Five-five."

……

Lu Yan's theft case was the case of the previous Jiangning County magistrate and the previous Sentencing Department three years ago, and now both of them are dead, with ironclad evidence, Wang Anshi quickly passed the trial.

Li Yutang received the approval letter sent by Wang Anshi, and immediately mobilized and arranged for the arrest of the officials to walk the streets and alleys, informing the people that Lu Yan would be rehabilitated.

For a time, at the entrance of Jiangning County, there was a surge of people.

Li Yutang sat in the hall of the county government, announcing the verdict of Lu Yan's case, while secretly observing whether there were any people with abnormal behavior in the crowd.

This redress of unjust cases is a good thing, the people who heard the trial outside the county office applauded one by one, many praised Li Yutang for being a good official who redressed the grievances of the people, and some people said that there was the merit of Yu Qiye, and some people scolded the previous magistrate of the county and the punishment Yunyun.

In short, the people talked a lot and were very lively.

But that's just it, the people didn't smash any rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, after all, three years have passed since Lu Yan's theft, and all the people involved in the case have died, and the people in the case will soon be forgotten.

After Li Yutang rehabilitated Lu Yan, he sent a quick official to select a feng shui treasure for Lu Yan to be reburied as a jinshi.

As a government official, Li Yutang can only do it here, speaking for the dead and the rights of the living.

On the seventh night of the fish, when Xiao Gu and Zhao Zhongjun returned to Jiangning County, the people had already dispersed.

In the county government meeting hall, Li Yutang sat on the top, looked at Yu Qiye, and said: "There is no abnormal situation, and the fast officials who are secretly monitoring around have not found any suspicious figures. ”

I didn't find it, this is not in line with the logic of the murderer's behavior, Lu Yan rehabilitated the case, the murderer will definitely come to the scene, it seems that the murderer is very smart, hiding in the dark and hiding from Li Yutang and all the fast arresting officials.

The murderers are cunning on the outside and on the inside.

Li Yutang continued: "As for the martial arts masters who use silk thread-like secret weapons, no one in Jiangning County has ever heard of this person. ”

Yu Qiye narrowed his eyes, and after a deep groan, he said what he found in Lu Yan's house.

Li Yutang nodded, thinking of what he found in Qingyue Tower, and said: "The motive of the second lady to frame Lu Yan has been found, the second lady and Lu Yan had a conflict before, and the second lady was resentful, so she blamed Lu Yan for stealing her silver, this contradiction was said by a young lady who has been in Qingyue Tower for a long time, it seems that because of a hosta, the specific details are not clear." ”

Hosta?

Feng Lang bowed his head and smiled, and Biyu scratched his head and fell into the water.

In this poem, it is mentioned that the hosta on the head of the little lady who picks lotus fell into the water, and the hosta in the contradiction may have been bought by Lu Yan for the woman in the painting.

Therefore, the second lady knew that Lu Yan had a sweetheart, so she wrote it in a secret letter.
