When Lu Jinping was secretly admiring Yunzi, Yunzi slowly opened his eyes, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Are you awake?" ”

"How do you know I'm awake, I haven't moved." Lu Jinping was a little surprised.

"Because your eyes are so sinister that I feel hot all over." Yunzi said half-truthfully.

Lu Jinping quickly changed the topic: "Do you have to meditate cross-legged every morning?" ”

"Well, this is a daily compulsory course, to cultivate internal strength."

When Lu Jinping heard this, he suddenly remembered a sentence he had seen somewhere before, and said casually: "If you don't practice boxing, you will be empty when you get old." Right? Hey, hey, hey. ”

Yunzi was very surprised and said, "Don't you know martial arts?" How can you say such profound words, listening to your words, it seems that an old boxer who has practiced for decades has the feeling, it is really right, my master also said that practicing internal skills is very, very important, and it is the foundation of all martial arts, but he has not summarized it so incisively as you, you said it so well. But my master also said that if you just practice internal skills and don't practice fists and feet routines, it will be useless. ”

"Of course, if you don't practice boxing, you will end up without a rudder boat, and you can't find the north."

This Yunzi was even more surprised, looked Yi Xingchen up and down and said, "To tell you the truth, have you ever visited a famous teacher?" Or get the guidance of a famous teacher, although I haven't been able to practice martial arts, but I know a lot of profound truths? ”

The two sentences that Lu Jinping said are actually the summary of countless martial arts practitioners in China for thousands of years, of course, in the Tang Dynasty 1,500 years ago. People at that time certainly didn't have such a deep understanding, no wonder they were so surprised.

Yunzi was still about to speak, and it was at this time. I heard the frightened cry of the big man with a knife outside the house: "Come on, someone is dead again!" Come on! ”

When Lu Jinping and Yunzi heard this, they were taken aback, turned over and got out of bed and opened the door and came out. It was still dark, but with the help of the reflection of snow. You can see the figure of a strong man standing at the door opposite.

The strong man with the knife cried out in horror, and when he saw them, he hurriedly beckoned, and pointed to the door of the wing behind him, and said, "The bookkeeper is dead, dead inside." It's scared to death! ”

And the people in the main hall also came out, and when they heard this, they all came to the door of the wing. Lu Jinping and Yunzi stepped on the thick snow on the ground, creaking, and rushed to the door quickly, Lu Jinping waved his hand and said, "Stop, don't go in, this official investigates the case." ”

Everyone hurriedly stopped, and Lu Jinping asked, "What's going on?" ”

The strong man who took the lead swallowed his saliva with difficulty. Apparently frightened by the serial murders, he said, "When I get up, I want to come here to see this bookkeeper......"

"Is it really just for the sake of seeing? I'm warning you. If you don't tell the truth at this time, it proves that you have a ghost in your heart! ”

The strong man snorted in panic and whispered, "I, I'm still angry that he peeped into my lady's affairs, and I want to slap him a few times." As a result, I didn't expect him to die. ”

"What do you see?"

"I got to the door and was about to open it. Finding that the door was hidden, he pushed it open. He was lying on the ground, looking weird. I felt that something was wrong, why didn't he lie on the ground on the bed, and like this, he called twice, he didn't answer, went up and touched his hand, found that there was no pulse, turned him around, his eyes widened, probed his nose, only to know that he was dead, I shouted. ”

Lu Jinping didn't say anything more, he checked the door first, the door was wide open, and it was probably pushed open by the strong man. I looked at the ground, and there were footprints with snowflakes on the ground. Judging from the size of the footprints, it should have been left by the burly and tall strong man.

There was a corpse lying on the ground next to the earthen kang, it was the squinting tent gentleman, his eyes were wide at the moment, and after turning it over, his hand that was originally lying on his stomach was still raised in the air and did not fall, which was evidence that the corpse had been formed. Proof of death for at least two hours or more.

The window on the opposite side is the rear window, which is tightly closed. Lu Jinping avoided the footprints with snowflakes on the ground and walked in from the side. Carefully inspect the ground for suspicious marks with every step you take. All the way to the deceased, crouching down to examine the body.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he found a long gray hair on the bookkeeper's erect neck.

After a moment of silence, he said to Yunzi, "Go and bring my box, I will inspect the body and the scene." ”

Yunzi agreed, rushed back to the wing, and brought Lu Jinping's forensic investigation box to Lu Jinping. Lu Jinping asked Yunzi to close the door and monitor no one to talk or move, let alone leave.

After closing the door, Lu Jinping took out fluorescence-enhancing glasses from the forensic investigation box and put them on, and then took out the ultraviolet laser physical evidence detector and began to search for clues in the house.

After the light of the ultraviolet laser detector swept through the room, Lu Jinping couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at it.

…………

Outside.

The young woman held the arm of the strong man with the knife tightly, and trembled with fear, and the big man hugged her very pitifully, and comforted her in a low voice, telling her not to be afraid.

The young woman said, "Can I not be afraid that three people will be killed in one night?" There must be ghosts here. ”

The strong man said, "Don't worry, it's already dawn and the snowstorm has stopped, let's go immediately." ”

The young woman said, "No, the lord said, no one will be allowed to leave the murder case here, I am afraid that we will be allowed to go only if the facts of the case are investigated." ”

The strong man sighed and said: "Yes, even if we are forced to walk, we are afraid that we will be considered a suspect by the yamen, and it will be miserable, so let's wait for the lord to find out the facts of the case." ”

The hunter snorted, straightened the longbow on his back, and said, "Anyway, I didn't kill anyone, I still have to go up the mountain to hunt, so I won't waste time here to accompany you to solve any crimes, and when the lord comes out, I will tell him that I am leaving." My family is still waiting for me to hunt and sell the money to go back to support my family. If you have money, you don't have to be afraid. ”

"Who's rich?" The porter said with a bitter face, "If you want to go, I'll go too." I can't delay my affairs. This car of things is said to be pushed by the time, and if it is not delivered at the point, the wages will be deducted. I can't afford it. ”

The farmer who was visiting his relatives said with a bitter face: "My father-in-law has a 50th birthday, and in just these few days, if I don't arrive in time and go after my birthday, my father-in-law is afraid that he will scold me severely." ”

The strong man hesitated a little, glanced at the young woman, and said in a low voice, "Or." Let's go too, shall we? Let's go together, the lord can't all force us to stay. ”

The young woman snorted. Said: "Can't go!" Can something bigger than a murder? The lord said, whoever wants to leave is a suspect, and he will be directly caught in the prison and tortured, if you have the guts, you can go. ”

These people are just whining. Who would dare to openly oppose the yamen? When they heard the young woman's words, they all bowed their heads and stopped talking.

The old woman behind her looked frightened: "I have never encountered such an evil thing." How many past merchants have stayed with me, but they have always been good, what is going on? Did you really see a ghost? ”

The young woman hurriedly let go of the strong man, went over to comfort her, and took the old woman's hand and said, "Old woman, it is certainly not a ghost, but someone who kills someone." You can rest assured. The lord is here to solve the case, and the yamen tolerance will definitely be able to find out what is going on in this case. ”

The old woman said, "Can you find out?" I'm afraid it's really haunted, and I've heard that there are often some strange things in the blizzard....... Alas! Forget it, let's not talk about it. I got up early and cooked bone broth to warm you up, last night there was a snowstorm, everyone must not have slept well, I don't have much cover, a few of you are lying in the main hall. But it's all frozen, and if you don't drink a little hot stuff, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold. ”

When the strong man heard the words bone broth, he swallowed and said, "This is really a good thing." By the way, how do you get the bones to make the soup? Didn't you say you only eat vegetarian dishes? If you haven't eaten meat, you'll lose all your teeth. ”

The old woman grinned and showed a few yellow-orange teeth, and said, "These bones are the bones of the two rabbits that this hunter's eldest brother hunted and sold to you yesterday, and you threw them there after eating the leftovers, and I thought it was quite good, so I washed it, and boiled bone broth this morning." ”

The hunter rubbed his eyes and said, "No wonder you made a fire in the kitchen early in the morning, and asked you what you were doing, but you didn't say, it turned out to be bone broth." ”

The strong man said: "I think there is a smell of meat, I thought it was the smell of meat left over from the rabbit we ate yesterday, it turned out that you were boiling the broth, and you didn't say a word, I thought you would warm up water to wash our faces, and you didn't bring this thing?" Hurriedly! ”

The old woman hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, it's all boiled in the pot, and when the lord is done, I'll serve it to you and drink it." ”

The strong man said: "I can't wait, I will suppress the shock with a bowl first, it scared me enough just now." ”

The young woman on the side said: "That's not possible, the lord is here, the lord hasn't drunk it, how can you drink it first, what is it, the lord knows that he will be angry." ”

"I'm not going to be angry, let him drink it first if he wants to!" saw the door creak open, and Lu Jinping walked out while pacing behind his back.

Yunzi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "How is it?" Is there a result? ”

Lu Jinping nodded and said: "Everything is already in my heart, but I feel a little cold, I just heard this old woman say that she boiled bone broth, I also want to drink a bowl to warm my body, so I have the strength to tell this bizarre case before and after, and find out the real murderer." Excuse me, old woman, please go and bring me a bowl of bone broth. ”

The old woman immediately agreed, grinning almost toothlessly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go and serve you a bowl of soup, and serve a bowl for everyone, don't stand in the yard, let's go to the house and drink while listening to you, everyone was frozen last night, drink soup to warm up." I don't have a lot of quilts in this house, and I can't take care of so many people, so I apologize, let's go to the house and drink bone broth. ”

Everyone was about to leave, but Lu Jinping shook his head and said: "No need to go, your house is too small, so many people really can't squeeze in, besides, the sun will come out soon, and it will be warm as soon as it comes out, and, didn't you just say, as a lord, of course I should have some priority, if I don't drink a bowl to warm up first, how can you drink it?" Go ahead and bring me a bowl first. ”

The old woman was a little embarrassed, glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "Sir, I boil a lot of soup, and there is more than half a pot, and you are afraid that you will not be able to drink it alone." ”

Lu Jinping's eyes widened, and he said with a cold face: "What's the matter?" Do you still want to drink with my grandfather? Is it possible not to take my lord in his eyes? ”

The strong man, the porter and the others were busy with a smile and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, we don't dare to dine with the lord, or the lord, you drink first, you drink, we will drink again." ”

As soon as she heard this, the young woman hurriedly took the old woman's hand and said, "Listen to the lord, hurry up and serve a bowl to the lord in a big bowl, let the lord drink first, and then everyone drink again, this is the rule in the officialdom, I heard that in the good hall of the yamen, the official has to eat first." If Shangguan didn't start eating, the lower ones were not allowed to move their chopsticks. ”

When the old woman heard this, she hurriedly agreed, and staggered over. Soon, a bowl of bone broth was served in a large porcelain bowl, with the smell of meat, and he came out to the courtyard, holding it in both hands and handing it to Lu Jinping.

Lu Jinping reached out to take the bowl, it seemed that the bowl was too hot, and let go of her hand with a scream, the old woman quickly reached out to hold it and said, "Sir, it's a little hot, be careful." ”

Lu Jinping took it with a smile, said thank you, looked at the bowl and saw that there was still a piece of meat with small bones floating in the bowl, nodded, and then put a bowl of soup to the end of his nose, took a deep breath, and then said with great emotion: "It's really delicious, why is this bone broth so delicious?" ”

The young woman winked at him and said, "That's because the lord has been busy investigating the case all night and is too tired, and he hasn't slept well, so he smells extraordinarily sweet." ”

"You have a point. But I've been checking all night and I've got some results, and now I can tell you that I've solved this case and I know who the murderer is. ”

As soon as he heard this, all the people immediately stared at him with wide eyes, and their expressions were extremely complicated.

When Yunzi heard this, he immediately became vigilant, his eyes swept towards the person's face, and he was guessing in his heart, who did Lu Jinping confirm who was the murderer? She must be on guard to prevent the killer from absconding, or even desperately fighting back.

Lu Jinping brought the bowl of meat and bone broth to his mouth again, blew it twice, sniffed it again, and praised it with satisfaction, and then handed the bone broth to the porter next to him and said, "It's too hot, let's wait first, and then drink it after speaking." You can help me get it first. ”

The porter agreed, and hurriedly took the bowl of bone broth with both hands, and held it carefully.

Lu Jinping clapped his hands, put his hands behind his back, looked at the strong man with a knife and said: "The first merchant who was killed, you were with him, and now, the third bookkeeper who was killed, you are also with him." You say, are you a murderer? ”

The porter and the farmer, who had been standing beside the strong man, immediately retreated a few steps back when they heard this, and looked at him in horror in case he would burst out and hurt others.

And Yunzi's eyes flashed with cold light, staring at the strong man with a knife. (To be continued)
