When Chu Shenxia rushed to Shangshu's mansion, King Shun and Jing Wei had already arrived for some time, and the two of them seemed to be talking about something with solemn faces. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

King Shun watched him walk up to him, and said, "Guess what we found?" ”

Chu Shenxia glanced at him again, confirming that there was not too much joy on his face, but listening to his tone, he should have found something terrible, and after a little consideration, he said solemnly: "I don't know." ”

King Shun laughed at his serious reaction, pointed to the eaves of the main gate on the east side, and said, "Assuming that the killer came from the east, it is impossible, it is too eye-catching, and it is impossible that the south and north sides are not far from the market." Only to the north, secluded backyard..."

Chu Shenxia couldn't help but urge, "What did Your Highness find in the backyard?" ”

King Shun was reminded by him, and he was stunned for a moment before saying: "There is a well in the backyard, and there is a corpse in the well." ”

Chu Shenxia looked at Jing Min in confusion, Jing Min knocked on the fan in his hand, nodded slightly, and said: "These two things must be related, it is a male corpse, and his hands are intact." The identity is not known, but it is presumed that he is thirty years old, with no injuries on his body and no signs of poisoning. ”

After a pause, he continued: "He died about a month ago, ten days before the severed palm. ”

Chu Shenxia became more and more puzzled, frowned, and said in surprise: "Since he died ten days ago and his hands are intact, what does it have to do with the severed palm case?" If it is not homicide, then what is there to investigate in a suicide case? ”

The two people in front of him didn't know, but he knew, the purpose of the abolished prince was just to kill people and kill people, how could he easily let go of people who worked for themselves but wanted to quit halfway?

King Shun looked at him deeply, with disappointment in his eyes, Xu felt that his thoughts were not quite in line with his own, so he turned to Jing Yan and said: "His identity must be found out as soon as possible, and there must be a connection with the broken palm case!" ”

Jing Min nodded quite seriously, and Chu Shenxia walked away a little helplessly when he saw the extremely solemn appearance of the two of them.

Unconsciously walked to the backyard, saw the dry well in their mouths, poked his head to see, it was deep and dark, and saw the weeds and scavenging beings next to the well, and suddenly thought of a question, who found the corpse?

The wind swept to the grass, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look, squatted down and picked up a sword spike from the grass, and looked at it intently for a while, just as King Shun and Jing Yan walked towards this side.

Jing Yan glanced at him, snatched it, and said with a smile: "Isn't this my sword spike?" It turned out to have fallen here, no wonder I just searched around and didn't find it. It seems to be dirty, so let's get another one. ”

Throwing it into the well, seeing Chu Shenxia staring at his face tightly, Jing Yan was furious by him, and said with a dry smile: "What are you doing?" ”

"You shouldn't throw it into the well wherever you throw it." Chu Shenxia slowly spit out the words.

Jing Min glanced at King Shun with some tears and laughter, turned to him again, and said helplessly: "You will never suspect that it is me, Your Highness testifies, I did drop the sword spike." ”

King Shun nodded as if he didn't care, his eyes fell on the path outside the door again, and he said to himself, "How did he manage to kill everyone in the courtyard?" There were no traces of dragging on the body, not like they were dragged out of the room after death, and there were no signs of a fight in the various rooms. How could it be so coincidental that everyone in the house was in the yard, not noisy or noisy, waiting for him to kill him. ”

"Why does Your Highness think that it was done by one person, it is impossible for such a big case to be without accomplices." Chu Shenxia's eyes flashed, and he gradually drifted his gaze to the face of the person beside him.

Jing Min looked back at him and explained: "There are not many footsteps on the eaves, and Shangshu Mansion is in a busy city, so too many people will attract attention, so..."

Chu Shenxia overturned his conjecture and said a bold idea, "What if they swaggered in from the main entrance?" ”

Jing Yan's eyes tightened, and he looked at him deeply, King Shun felt that his idea was too incredible, and his views today were too different from his own, so he reprimanded a little angrily: "Don't say such absurd things at this time." ”

Chu Shenxia bowed and said, "Yes." ”

When he looked up, he happened to bump into Jing Min taking his eyes off himself, and blurted out, "You changed your clothes today?" ”

Both of them were stunned, and Jing Min was even more confused, and said, "Yes... It's changed... What's wrong? ”

Chu Shenxia originally wanted to ask him if he had been here last night, but he was afraid that saying it would make King Shun suspicious of Jing Yan, so he said softly: "It's nothing, I just think your clothes match well today." ”

King Shun frowned slightly, and said with some displeasure: "Why don't you go back to the house first?" ”

Chu Shenxia was stunned for a moment, his gaze fell back to the ground from his face, and Jing Yan hurriedly said when he saw this: "Brother Chu's observation ability is extraordinary, and I can find things here that we can't find." ”

King Shun's face was pale, he took two steps to the side, and turned his back.

Chu Shenxia raised his eyes, looked at his back, pursed his lips slightly, and didn't know what to say, since that time outside the palace, King Shun's attitude towards him has always been hot and cold, and many times it gives people a feeling of being angry.

He couldn't tell what King Shun thought of him, but in King Shun's eyes, there was no doubt that he was hiding something.

Lu Zhi suddenly came quickly, clenched his fists with a face like dirt, and said, "Your Highness, we have found something in the case file of the Criminal Department. ”

King Shun asked lightly, "What?" ”

"On the eaves, under the plum blossom trees, and in several places in the house, there are a few footprints stained with mud, and we are shocked when we compare them." Lu Zhi swallowed his saliva and said nervously: "Unexpectedly... It turned out to be the footprints of the man in the dry well. ”

"Could it be a coincidence? After all, there are many people who have the same footprints. King Shun was slightly shocked, and he didn't dare to think in the direction Lu Zhi said.

Jing Yan shook his head and said, "The man in the dry well is long, so the shoe size is also larger than that of ordinary people, which is far from being comparable to the Shangshu Mansion family. ”

Several people are silent, if the case of breaking the palm is really committed by a man in a dry well, then this mysterious case has been turned into a ghost case. How can a man slaughter all the people of this province on the tenth day after his death?

Unless, this is not a person.

The fan in Jing Yan's hand quickly closed and said, "By the way, I remember that his shoes and boots were embroidered with gold wire." There are not many shoe shops that can embroider gold wire, and this man's shoe size is much larger than that of ordinary men. If you go to those shops and ask, you should be able to know who he is by eliminating them one by one. ”

Chu Shenxia gave him a meaningful look, but Jing Min didn't seem to notice his eyes at all, and only cared about talking to King Shun.

After returning home, I originally wanted to ask him, but I went twice and found that he was not in the room at all.

I didn't see him for several days, and I rarely saw King Shun, until today, when the news of the trial between the Criminal Department and the Si Xing Temple came, Chu Shenxia didn't know that the case had been solved.

Just as she was about to leave the house, she bumped into Banrong, she looked at him in surprise, and blurted out and asked, "Shouldn't you be in the criminal department?" ”

Chu Shenxia understood the reason why she asked, and also knew that the people in King Shun's Mansion treated him as King Shun's staff, even if he had made several suggestions for King Shun, but to Chu Shenxia, he was always a personal soldier.

"No, you're going out?" Chu Shenxia put aside the topic and said.

"Yes, I don't have a medicine, and I'm going to look for it in the nearby mountains." Hanrong looked a little anxious.

Chu Shenxia changed his original idea of going to the Criminal Department to see the case, blinked his eyes and smiled: "I'll go with you, how can I say that a girl's house in the wilderness is not safe, a few days ago, there was a young girl who was several..."

Halfway through her words, she was greeted with a great roll of the eye, and when she saw her walk away, she hurried up to keep up.

Passing through the bustling bazaar, out of the guarded city gates, there were fewer and fewer people on the road, and only the two of them were on the back road.

From time to time, a few rugged mountaineers with firewood on their backs walked by, Chu Shenxia approached her and whispered: "Look, I'll just say it, it's not safe, that man has been looking at you just now, and both eyes are about to fall out." ”

As he spoke, an old man walked tremblingly towards here, and half-trotted up two steps and said, "Uncle, do you know where the forsythia in this mountain is?" ”

The old man pointed his hand to the east, and a whining sound rolled out of his throat, and then he frowned and waved his hand desperately. Seeing the fear on his face, Banrong knew that he meant to persuade himself not to go, and after thanking him repeatedly, he helped him through the difficult road.

Only then did he turn around and walk up, the corner of his clothes was suddenly tightly pulled, and he looked back and saw that the old man kept shaking his head, so he comforted: "It's okay, uncle, I'm not alone, don't worry." ”

The old man glanced at the people on the side, his brows furrowed deeper, but he could only make a snorting sound when he opened his mouth.

Banrong glanced at it and said, "Uncle, forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, your voice is not born like this, is it?" ”

The old man's eyes tightened, the fear on his face deepened again, and his hands were shrunk in his sleeves and his head was lowered gloomily.

"Uncle, I didn't mean that, I'm a doctor, I'm still a little sure of the problem in my throat, but I don't know how long the old man has been sick, maybe there is a chance to save it."

The old man's eyes lit up, but they quickly dimmed, and he shook his head a little resignedly.

"Since the old man refuses to let me diagnose and treat, then I will pick some strong medicinal flavor and dendrobium, dry it and soak it in water to drink, which can relieve the pain in my throat." Banrong bowed slightly, and walked up.

The old man whimpered twice, and the hand he held was in the air and did not retract it.

"What you're looking for is forsythia? I'm afraid it hasn't bloomed yet at this time, and besides, there are many forsythia in the pharmacy, so why bother to pick it in person? Chu Shenxia wondered.

"It's stone fungus, and there are almost all stone ears on the edge of the cliff near Forsythia, which is very convenient." After Banrong knew the location, the speed of climbing the mountain became faster, and he didn't even breathe when he spoke, it seemed that he was very familiar with the mountain road.

"Since it's convenient, why don't you buy it at the pharmacy?"

Banrong glanced at him, and said angrily: "Do you have to buy everything at the pharmacy?" The stone fungus I am looking for must be several times better than the pharmacy, and I may be able to find other medicinal materials. ”

As she spoke, a yellow hair flashed in front of her, half startled, and almost rolled down the mountain, but fortunately, Chu Shenxia helped her in time.

"There are still people on this mountain who raise mountain honors." Banrong muttered to himself.
