Zhou Zhengnian stood at the door for a while with great grievances, and saw that Lu Yuan and the little attendant were looking at him seriously, and no one noticed him, so he coughed dryly, "Cough ......"

Ling Suwan was looking at it, heard a cough, raised his head from the case file, and saw that it was Zhou Zhengnian, so he hurriedly got up and walked out of the table, and saluted: "I've seen Lord Zhou." ”

"No courtesy." Zhou Zhengnian walked in the door, Lu Yuan put down the notebook, and slowly stood up to salute, "Lord Zhou." ”

Zhou Zhengnian said: "Lord Lu doesn't have to be polite. The main purpose of this official's visit this time is to learn about the progress of the case. Early this morning, Zhu Yushi cried in front of the saint, blaming Dali Temple for neglecting his duties and incompetence in investigating the case, resulting in the murder of his wife. The Holy Lord ordered us to solve the case within half a month, and Lord Lu will have to work hard. ”

"Zhu Dazui must not have said anything nice, right?" Lu Yuan teased. Seeing that Zhou Zhengnian's face was so stinky, Zhu Dazui must have embarrassed him in the early morning.

"Heh......" Zhou Zhengnian smiled a little embarrassedly, Zhu Chengchun's words were not only unpleasant, but made people blush.

But it's not a glorious thing, so let's not talk about it. He snorted, "That...... In the period of half a month, I wonder if Lord Lu can be sure? Do you need Lord Shen to participate in the ......?"

"No ...... required"

"The lower official is willing."

Two voices rang out at the same time.

Shen Yan stepped into the door and said to Zhou Zhengnian: "My lord, the lower official is willing to solve this case with Lord Lu." ”

"I don't need to." Lu Yuan replied stiffly. He didn't want to investigate the case with Shen Yan, an ice cube face, lest the two of them look at each other and get tired of each other.

Ling Suwan quietly pulled Lu Yuan's sleeve and whispered, "My lord, it's okay for us to listen to Lord Shen's opinion. ”

Zhou Zhengnian was also eager to solve the case, and said to Shen Yan: "What did Lord Shen find? Can you tell us about it? ”

Shen Yan stepped forward, opened the file that Ling Suwan was looking at, pointed his finger at one of them, and said: "Here, the place where the body was found, Huancui is the eastern suburbs of the forest, Ding Baozhu is the pond in the north of the city, and Mrs. Zhu is the blacksmith furnace located in the south. East wood, north water, south fire ......"

"Five Elements Orientation?" Ling Suwan suddenly realized.

The location where the murderer arranged the body was actually regular.

"So if the murderer continues to commit murder in the future, then the location is still in the west and in the city, and the gold and earth ......," Ling Suwan muttered.

Zhou Zhengnian also nodded again and again, looked at Shen Yan approvingly, and said: "From this point of view, the murderer of this serial murder case is thoughtful and seamless, and the arrangement is seamless, it is a planned and premeditated killing. ”

Ling Suwan turned to Lu Yuan on the side, and his words were rare sincere, "My lord, the sooner we catch the murderer, maybe we can stop him from continuing to harm people in the next step." ”

Lu Yuan is not an unreasonable and unreasonable person, the reason why he opposes investigating the case with Shen Yan is more because he is not used to his rigid and serious temperament and the inquiring eyes that are projected on Ling Suwan from time to time.

As for why he didn't like Shen Yan's attention to Ling Suwan too much, he didn't study it carefully.

Little Grandpa Lu was originally a perverse character who did what he wanted, but at this moment, he looked at Ling Suwan's earnest and clear gaze, and his right eye, which was slightly dark purple under a closer look, his eyes were shining, and he couldn't say anything to refuse, and subconsciously at that moment, he suddenly had a feeling that he didn't want to disappoint Ling Suwan.

After coming back to his senses, he coughed dryly and said, "Then what are you waiting for, let's act quickly." ”

Zhu Chengchun has been on leave at home since that morning, busy with the aftermath of his deceased wife.

The deceased Mrs. Zhu, Hai, was actually not Zhu Chengchun's wife, but only a stepfamily.

His wife was born in a family of eunuchs, but unfortunately she was weak and died of illness a year ago, leaving a pair of young children without anyone to take care of, so half a year later he hastily married Hai as his wife.

Hai is the daughter of a merchant, and her background cannot be compared with his wife, but she is young and beautiful, gentle and petty, and usually runs a family and takes care of Zhu's mansion in an orderly manner, so in the past six months, Zhu Chengchun is very satisfied with Hai. Now that he died suddenly without warning, it was a big blow to him, and the pain was beyond words.

What's even more hateful is that there have been rumors in Beijing recently, saying that he killed his wife hard, and killed two wives in a row. Nothing short of nonsense!

This is also one of the reasons why he repeatedly pressured Zhou Zhengnian to let Dali Temple solve the case and catch the murderer as soon as possible.

"Lord Zhu, do you know where Mrs. Ling bought this bottle of balm?" In the inner courtyard of the Zhu Mansion, after finishing the routine questioning, Ling Suwan took out a jade-colored delicate small bottle and asked Zhu Chengchun.

"This ......" Zhu Chengchun took the bottle and looked at it, shaking his head, "I see that Neiko often uses it on weekdays, and I really don't know where to buy it." Could it be that there is something wrong with this balm? ”

"It's just suspicious," Ling Suwan couldn't conclude, "Dare to ask where the maid who serves his wife on weekdays is, can you ask a question or two?" ”

"Absolutely." Zhu Chengchun shouted outside the door, "Someone! ”

A little maid ran in at the door, combing a double-ring bun, not very old, with a slightly childish face, and saluted Zhu Chengchun: "What does the master command?" ”

Zhu Chengchun showed her the bottle of balm, "Do you know where did Mrs. buy this bottle of balm?" ”

The little maid raised her head, took a closer look, and shook her head blankly, "The slave doesn't know." ”

"If you look more closely, how can you not know how you serve Madame?" Zhu Chengchun couldn't help but raise his voice and scolded.

The little maid was startled, almost cried, and kowtowed again and again, "The old man is angry, the old man is angry, the slave and maid really don't know, it has always been Sister Yingyue who has been serving Mrs. closely, and the slave and maid have only taken her job in the past few days, and the slave and maid have been using this balm when they see that Mrs. has been using, and they have never asked where Mrs. bought it from......"

"So where did Yingyue, who served Madame before, go?" Seeing that the little maid was about to break her forehead, Ling Suwan asked her, which could be regarded as helping her out of the siege.

Seeing that it was an ordinary little attendant, the little maid eased her mood a little, and sobbed: "Sister Yingyue got married a few days ago, and the slave maid was originally a third-class maid who was responsible for sprinkling and sweeping in the front yard, but she was suddenly assigned to replace Sister Yingyue, and the slave maid was very frightened, and she was always clumsy, so Mrs. Xu didn't like it, and she didn't take the slave out of the house......"

"Okay, okay, you go out," Zhu Chengchun waved his hand and sent the little girl away, frowning: "What a stupid girl." ”

Ling Suwan originally wanted to ask the little maid, so she had to ask Zhu Chengchun herself, "Master Zhu, do you know where Yingyue got married?" ”

"Alas......" Zhu Chengchun sighed, "Don't mention it, Yingyue is not married, she was driven away by Neizi, just because the maid ......" coughed dryly, seemed to be a little difficult to speak, and said with difficulty: "She tried in vain...... climbed out of bed, and happened to be discovered by Uchiko, who was angry with her for being unfaithful, so he betrayed her. ”

I see! So later, did the Hai family find this honest and stupid little girl to replace Yingyue?
