Meng Tianchu saw Cai Zhao standing there awkwardly and didn't know what to say, so he said, "Xiaonuo, don't talk like this." ”

Cai Zhao hurriedly said: "What the fifth lady said is, then let's go." ”

Xiaonuo: "My name is Shangxue." ”

Meng Tianchu: "It's okay, then let's talk while walking." ”

As soon as he went out, he saw Zuo Jiayin and Chai Meng coming, and Meng Tianchu said, "Xiaonuo, you, Lord Cai, and Zhen Xue are waiting for me at the door, and I will come immediately." ”

Xiaonuo took Cai Zhao away, and Zuo Jiayin stepped forward and said, "Tianchu, Slayer Long said that you are looking for me." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Something happened, I'll go out first, and I'll come back to talk to you in detail, and you can find out if there's anything about this... This..."

Meng Tianchu didn't know if Zuo Jiayin could understand sleepwalking, after all, this statement was limited to modern times, and ancient people might not understand.

Zuo Jiayin smiled and said, "Slaying the dragon told me about the ear, what you want to ask is to see if he is considered a disease?" ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "It's still good news." ”

Zuo Jiayin: "Okay, I'm leaving, Chai Meng also said that I have something to do with you, I'll go see Feiyan and the two children." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Then you can tell Feiyan and go over to see her and the child when I'm done." ”

Zuo Jiayin nodded and said, "By the way, why did you let Spruce take care of Xiaowei last night?" ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "It's hard to say, I'll talk about it when I come back." ”

After Zuo Jiayin left, Meng Tianchu and Chai Meng said as they walked.

Chai Meng: "My lord, I went to Yuqin and their village, and there was indeed a man named Xu Hai in the village, but two years ago because the people in the village got a rare plague. Many people died in that plague. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Could it be that Xu Hai is one of them?" ”

Chai Meng nodded. ^^

Meng Tianchu felt that things were really not as simple as he imagined, could it be that Yuqin was a woman with deep affection and a dead childhood sweetheart? People are already dead, and if the living are really mourning like this, and are unwilling to accept another feeling, it is really admirable.

Chai Meng continued: "But I heard from the people in Yuqin Village that Xu Hai had broken off his marriage contract with Yuqin when he was alive. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Why is this?" ”

Chai Meng smiled and said, "I heard that Yuqin changed her mind." ”

Meng Tianchu listened to how he became more and more confused, at this time the two of them had already walked to the door, Cai Zhao came in a sedan chair, Xiaonuo and Murong Yuxue had already got into the carriage and waited for Meng Tianchu in the car.

Meng Tianchu walked into the car and said to Chai Meng: "Something happened to the Li family in Dongcheng. Or you and I will forget it, we will say on the way. ”

Chai Meng nodded and flew into the car, letting the driver catch the car and sit in the car himself.

The carriage was about to leave, when he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly outside the car, Meng Tianchu: "Xiaonuo, look at what's going on Xiaonuo lifted the curtain and saw that Xiaowei was chasing the carriage." So he hurriedly asked the coachman to stop the car, and then said to Meng Tianchu: "It's my sister chasing the carriage." ”

Meng Tianchu followed the probe to take a look, only to see Xiao Wei chasing in front, followed by Wanyan Spruce and a few maids and subordinates.

Meng Tianchu frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "How did Xiao Wei wake up and become the same as Xiao Nuo. ”

Xiao Nuo gently slapped Meng Tianchu behind his back and said, "I'm not crazy like my sister. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Don't talk about your sister like that." ”

Xiao Nuonu pursed his lips and said, "It was originally so." ”

Xiao Wei panted and caught up, and went to the car without speaking, the coachman hurried to help, and Xiao Wei pushed the coachman away. His eyes glanced at the coachman coldly, the coachman quickly got out of the way, and Xiaonuo hurriedly went to help Xiaowei. Meng Tianchu looked at it coldly, and wanted to help, but because of Xiao Wei's glance just now, that sharp and indifferent and even fierce look, made Meng Tianchu retract his hand, he felt that Xiao Wei didn't really forget anything, but remembered everything, at least partially. Although she was crazy in front of everyone, and even untidy, her eyes couldn't deceive people, she wanted to protect herself, and she was worried that she would be sent back to the palace again, so she was like this, which is very similar to Xiaowei's character, and she didn't trust anyone. Ground is true. You can't trust anyone casually with such a thing. Meng Tianchu was thinking. Xiao Wei had already gotten into the car, smirked at everyone, and then sat down beside Meng Tianchu.

Meng Tianchu didn't say anything, and said to the coachman, "Let's go." ”

At this time, Wanyan Yunshan caught up, Meng Tianchu opened the curtain, and when he saw her guilty, he smiled and said, "Don't worry about handing her over to me, don't blame yourself, she just wants to come out and breathe." ”

Wanyan Spruce saw that Meng Tianchu did not mean to blame, so he breathed a sigh of relief, Meng Tianchu saw that Wanyan Spruce seemed to have something to say, so he said: "There is a case, we have to go out." Then his mouth turned towards Xiao Wei, and after Yan Yunshan understood, he nodded and smiled, got out of the way, and said, "Then Brother Meng is slower all the way, and the idea is safe." ”

Meng Tianchu nodded, the car slowly drove past Wanyan Spruce, Xiao Wei leaned out of the car and made a grimace for her, Wanyan Spruce shook his head helplessly, and said to the subordinates and the maid behind him: "Okay, let's go back." ”

On the road.

Chai Meng continued: "Yuqin and Xu Hai did grow up together, and I heard from the people in the village that Yuqin, this girl is quite a city, careful in her work, and very high-spirited, and there is only one old mother in the family, but the plague two years ago also took the life of Yuqin Niang. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Then Yuqin won't become an orphan?" ”

Chai Meng: "No, Yuqin also has a younger brother who depends on Yuqin for his life." ”

Meng Tianchu: "What about her brother?" ”

Chai Meng: "It's in our house, it's also a new one this time, it's called Yuming, I've seen it, the young man is about sixteen years old, and he looks very smart." The mouth is also very sweet, and he is not bad in the world, and his hands and feet are also diligent. ”

Meng Tianchu sighed and said, "You still know a lot!" ”

At this time, Murong Zhenxue said: "It turns out that Yuming is Yuqin's younger brother. ”

Meng Tianchu became interested and said, "Why do you all know each other?" ”

Murong Yuxue nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, every morning he and a few subordinates carry water to various courtyards very early, just two days ago, I said that I want to use a honeysuckle robe to drink some water, the weather is too hot." But the maids didn't dare to go, saying that after the Yuqin accident, no one dared to pick the honeysuckle, for fear of being wrong, and they were also afraid of snakes. Then let the maids divide the rest of the land into the courtyards, and get some for the other ladies. ”

Meng Tianchu thought about it, smiled meaningfully, and didn't say anything. Xiao Wei on the side looked at Meng Tianchu curiously, touched his cheek, and said, "Hey, what are you laughing at, tell me." ”

Meng Tianchu looked at Xiao Wei and said, "What am I thinking, you know." ”

Xiaonuo: "Tianchu." Do you think my sister is still the same brilliant woman she used to be? ”

Meng Tianchu smiled, held Xiao Wei's hand tightly, and said, "I think it's the ground." ”

Xiao Nuo waved his sleeve disdainfully. said: "I see that you are about to make my sister crazy with infection." ”

East of the city, Li family.

Red bricks and blue tiles, pavilions and pavilions are in the high wall, small bridges and flowing waters, the water is murmuring under the pavilion span, the artificial stone mountains that rise from the ground, the piles are very chic, and the flowers and trees on both sides of the corridor are jagged and fragrant. And then in this fragrance there is a taste of blood.

The gate of the Li family is taller and wider than the door of the average large family, and there is lush grass climbing down the wall on the door, mixed with some well-growing creepers, and some unknown wildflowers dotted with it, which is very beautiful, and then splashed with dried blood on this green wall.

Meng Tianchu stood in the corner of the wall and looked at these bloodstains for a long time, Xiaonuo stood beside Meng Tianchu, saw Meng Tianchu's eyebrows tight, and put his thumb in his hand. She had never seen Meng Tianchu like this.

"Tianchu. What's wrong? ”

Meng Tianchu pointed to the wall and said, "Look at these blood splatters"

Xiaonuo: "I watched. You taught me that such blood stains should be caused by the murderer wielding a knife from the bottom up. ”

Meng Tianchu did not show an approving expression as before, still frowning, and Murong Yuxue said aside: "There is another possibility, that is, after swinging the knife, the blood stains on the knife are formed after swinging. ”

Xiao Nuo and Murong Zhenxue saw that Meng Tianchu still didn't speak, and carefully watched the changes on Meng Tianchu's face.

Sitting on the stone bench, Xiao Wei suddenly burst out laughing at this time, Meng Tianchu and the three of them looked at Xiao Wei strangely, only to see that Xiao Wei couldn't help laughing, and he was laughing forward and backwards, Xiao Nuo stepped forward and said angrily: "Sister, what are you laughing at?" Tianchu is about to die of sorrow, you are still in the mood to laugh, you are really angry. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Xiaonuo, you can't say that about your sister. ”

Xiaonuo: "She's just making trouble." ”

Meng Tianchu turned to look at Xiao Wei, who was trembling with a smile, walked up to Xiao Wei, and said, "Tell me, what are you thinking." ”

Xiao Wei stopped laughing, got up and walked to the corner, then beckoned Meng Tianchu over, pointed to the corpse on the ground that had not been removed, and said, "Hey, this child is just a six-year-old child, they say that it is made by wielding a knife, such a young child should generally be from top to bottom." ^^^^For example..."As he spoke, Xiao Wei broke off a branch from the side and threw it at Meng Tianchu without saying anything.

Seeing this, Murong Yuxue pushed Xiao Wei away, and then scolded loudly: "Are you crazy? ”

Meng Tianchu smiled, grabbed Xiaowei's hand, and said, "By the way, I think so too." ”

Xiaonuo: "What are you talking about?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "According to common sense, ordinary people can only hurt the other party from the bottom up if they stand in front of someone who is much taller than themselves and draw their swords, so that there will be a splash on the wall now, but you two look at it, there is a person lying on the ground who is only six years old, about one meter tall, how can such a child form such a bloodstain shape?" Besides, the height of this blood splatter is not right. ”

Xiao Nuo walked to the wall and looked at it carefully, and said, "In this way, this height shouldn't be this child?" ”

Meng Tianchu nodded.

Murong Zhenxue: "However, there is only the corpse of this child in this place, Tianchu." Do you mean there should still be a corpse in this place? ”

Meng Tianchu: "I don't rule out this possibility. ”

Xiaonuo: "But there is no here, and there are a total of four people in the Li family, one old man, who is the brother of Li Gonggongdi, one is named Li Qian, and the other is Li Qian's wife, and this is Li Qian's son." Nothing else is going on. As far as the four people in the dead place are concerned, they all died at the first scene, and there is no sign of being moved. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Yes, so let Wang Yi take people around this Li Mansion and search me carefully again." Don't miss a single bit."

Xiao Nuo went, Meng Tianchu walked to Xiao Wei's side, seeing that Xiao Wei was still looking at him stupidly, Meng Tianchu wanted to say something, but after all, he only smiled, stopped talking, and was about to turn around. I only heard Xiaowei say: "There is another possibility. ”

Meng Tianchu immediately turned around, only to see Xiao Wei smiling and saying, "That is probably because the murderer was so hungry that he ate it to his stomach." ”

Meng Tianchu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, and Murong Yuxue said on the side: "Sister Xiaowei, I beg not to make trouble, okay?" Xiaowei: "I didn't make trouble, or you tell me, how could such a big person disappear out of thin air?" Didn't you eat it, could it be that you dug three feet into the ground and buried it overnight? ”

Murong Zhenxue: "How do you know that you are an adult?" Then why didn't the murderer bury the four of them together? ”

Xiao Wei pointed at Meng Tianchu and said, "So I'm going to ask him." ”

Murong Yuxue said disdainfully: "It's not a troublemaker." ”

Meng Tianchu's mind moved, and he looked at Xiao Yi's eyes meaningfully. Seeing that Xiaowei was smirking at herself, she walked over to the child and squatted down to look at the wound carefully, and then said to Murong Zhenxue, "Bring me my investigation box." ”

Cai Zhao walked over. Carefully squatting beside Meng Tianchu, he looked at the knife that was deeply cut in the middle of his body, looked at Meng Tianchu with a frown, and said in a low voice: "Tianchu, I have already informed Li Xin." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Who is Li Xin?" ”

Cai Zhao: "It's Li Qiandi's younger brother and the godson of Father-in-law Li." ”

Meng Tianchu looked up at Cai Zhao and said, "Godson? ”

Cai Zhao smiled and said, "Now the father-in-law who has no money is happy about this." He had no heirs, so he looked for a person among his relatives who was still kowtowing to tea and would be written into the family tree in the future. ”

Meng Tianchu frowned and said, "Have you asked before, does this Li Qian have a grudge against anyone on weekdays?" ”

Cai Zhao: "I have asked, Li Qian is modest, never has bad relations with others, and is very kind when talking to people in the house on weekdays. The people had a good impression of him. But his wife just..."

Murong Yuxue brought the box over, and Meng Tianchu suddenly changed his mind. Deciding to take all the bodies back for examination, he got up and clapped his hands, saying, "What's wrong with his wife?" ”

Cai Zhao whispered: "Once upon a time, it was a crisp red mansion... Hey..."

Meng Tianchu saw Cai Zhao's ambiguous expression and already knew what he meant omitted, so he said: "There are a lot of these women who are good now, what's so strange." ”

Cai Zhao leaned into Meng Tianchu's ear and said: "The problem is, this woman was redeemed by Li Xin, and she originally wanted to be a concubine for herself, and whoever wants to leave the capital for a month and come back will become my brother's wife." ”

Meng Tianchu was very surprised, and said, "It's still a main house?" ”

Cai Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, I have seen this lady, she looks very charming, he, I must have known that it is better to be a wife than a concubine, so I took advantage of Li Xin's absence to seduce Li Qian, so..."

Meng Tianchu didn't like Cai Zhao's expression of talking about right and wrong, how could an old man talk about this kind of thing, he was even more frowning than talking about the case.

Meng Tianchu interrupted Cai Zhao's words and said, "Okay, tell me what you heard." ”

Cai Zhao saw that Meng Tianchu was unhappy, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "I heard the maid who has been serving this woman say that although this woman is married to Li Qian, she has never broken off contact with Li Xin in private, and once Li Qian found out that the two brothers almost fought. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Where was Li Xin last night?" ”

Cai Zhao: "Crisp Red Mansion"

Meng Tianchu sneered and said, "This Li Xin is really not simple, okay, then Li Xin's wife doesn't care?" ”

Cai Zhao: "Li Xin has never married. ”

Meng Tianchu was stunned and said, "How old is this Li Xin?" ”

Cai Zhao: "Two out of twenty." ”
