Chapter 51: A Short Haircut

Although he knew that Yin De was likely to make a move last night, the best choice at this time was, of course, to wait for Yin De to catch him when he came to set fire. However, if he wants to lay an ambush, how can he, a weak scholar, and a stupid and arrogant Miss Song, be able to take care of such a large area of the Yin family's compound, and how can he know when Yin De will come, who will come, and set fire there? Moreover, it is not clear whether it is set on fire or poisoned, how to ambush?

Because of these don't know, once you miss, if it is arson, it will still be quite difficult for Song Yuner to escape from the sea of fire with the weak Bai Sumei on her back. If it's poisoning, there's no way to prevent it, so you can only wait to get the corpse.

This kind of disadvantage was only a flash in Yang Qiuchi's mind, and he already knew that he must not take risks, and since there was no way to confront him, he could only make a strategic shift and preserve the revolutionary forces. Therefore, Yang Qiuchi muttered in Song Yun'er's ear for a while last night, just to let Song Yun'er transfer Bai Sumei out of the Yin family's compound in the dead of night. Even if Yin De didn't make a move, he would have to hide for a few days, wait for Yang Qiuchi to get back the equipment on the truck, find out whether Yin De was the murderer, and then make the next step.

After the fire ignited last night, Yang Qiuchi was a little nervous, he didn't know if Song Yun'er, the little girl, had implemented it according to her own arrangement, and if there were any accidents. It wasn't until he left the fire and found the mark left by Song Yun'er at the foot of the house opposite the back garden of the Yin family, a fist-sized word "Yun", which was the code they had agreed on, indicating that he had left the Yin family smoothly, so he was relieved.

The baggage that Song Yun'er took out from home was the night walking equipment, which she specially ordered, and it was originally for fun, because she thought that as a person who practiced martial arts, it would be tasteless without such equipment, and she didn't expect it to come in handy now.

Last night, after Yin De and the others left, Song Yun'er observed the surrounding movements, and in the dead of night, tied the sleeping Bai Sumei with a cloth strap on her back, grabbed the window with a nocturnal grappling hook, climbed down the attic with Bai Sumei on her back, evaded the patrolling family, climbed out of the wall with a grappling hook, and sent Bai Sumei to Yang Xizuo's old house in the west of the city according to Yang Qiuchi's arrangement.

After Yang Qiuchi left the fire, he rushed to Yang Xizuo's old house. Bai Sumei had woken up, Yang Qiuchi asked her if she knew the real murderer, she ignored it, took a pen and paper and asked her to write, or ignored it, just coughed vigorously and cried in a low voice. Helpless, Yang Qiuchi could only tell Song Yun'er to protect Bai Sumei well, and then left the old house and returned to the yamen.

Yang Qiuchi has always been puzzled, why didn't Bai Sumei write the name of the murderer? Although Yin De is her husband, he is also the murderer of her sister, and he almost killed her, doesn't she want to avenge her sister? Definitely not.

So why? Could it be that the murderer is not Yin De at all? And she is afraid of the murderer's revenge? Or did something fall into the hands of the murderer? Or is it fearful? Or maybe she didn't see the killer at all?

Yang Qiuchi thought about it while munching on the steamed buns.

This steamed bun was made by Yang's mother who got up early in the morning and made it with Feng Xiaoxue, Yang's mother was very happy when she saw that her son liked to eat, and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke...... By the way, when you haven't gotten up yet, an official came to our house and spoke very politely, saying that when you get up, what will you do...... What......" Yang Mu thought with a frown.

"Maduma-sama's residence", Feng Xiaoxue took over and said.

"Yes, yes, yes...... Let you go to the residence of Lord Ma, and say that Lord Ma is waiting for you. Look at my brain! Mother Yang smiled.

Yang Qiuchi nodded and didn't say anything. This Ma Du called himself early in the morning, not to thank the widow for the case. How to continue this case, Yang Qiuchi didn't have any idea at the moment, he looked at the straw hat on the table, who could be the person wearing this straw hat? Where is he?

Yang Qiuchi was eating steamed porridge while taking the straw hat to take a closer look. This is an ordinary straw hat, the kind that ordinary people often wear, but the size is very large.

Looking at it, suddenly, Yang Qiuchi was shocked, threw down the steamed buns, walked out of the door with a straw hat in both hands, and observed carefully in the sun.

It turned out that Yang Qiuchi found that there was a short hair sandwiched in the gap inside the straw hat!

This short hair is only about a millimeter long, and you won't notice it if you don't look closely, so it's no wonder I didn't notice it last night.

The short hair in the straw hat was probably detached from the head of the man wearing the straw hat. Both men and women in the Ming Dynasty had long hair, and this was a short hair with a hair shaft of only about one millimeter, plus hair roots, no more than two millimeters, carefully observe this hair, there are hair roots, hair shafts, that is, there is no thin hair tip, the waist is cut off by a sharp weapon, the fracture is very neat, obviously, it should be shaved with a razor, so to speak, this hair should have just grown out after shaving. Shave? Who would shave their heads in the Ming Dynasty? Could it be......

Yang Qiuchi's eyes lit up, and the hope of solving the case flashed in front of him. He carefully placed the hat in the large cabinet in the room, told Yang and his mother not to move, and then walked out the door.

Mother Yang shouted, "Why don't you leave after breakfast?" ”

"If you don't eat it, I'm fine. Eat yourselves. ”

Yang Qiuchi went to the yamen to ask Song Zhixian for leave, and found that the magistrate did not come, and the officials were all spreading the word, saying that the fire of the Yin family last night burned the daughter of the county lord and the grandmother of the Yin family to death, and the bones were not found, and the wives and aunts of the inner government were already crying.

When Yang Qiuchi heard this, he decided to go to the inner government to take a look first, and let Ma Du go first, and he was not in a hurry at this time.

Yang Qiuchi returned home, called Feng Xiaoxue, brought some gifts, and came to the inner office, and the little black dog of course followed Yang Qiuchi closely.

The doorman who guarded the inner office took Yang Qiuchi and Feng Xiaoxue into the inner office and came to the living room.

Far away, I heard Song Zhixian shouting in a dumb voice: "What, how can you not find it?" You, have you looked carefully! ”

A voice replied, "Old man is incompetent, the great lord forgives his sins." However, the fire was so big that it burned all night and was only extinguished this morning...... Ahem......" said in a hurry, causing a burst of coughing.

Listening to the voice, you can know that it is Yang Chenzuo's master who speaks, that old man. Yang Qiuchi stood by the door and didn't go in, wanting to hear what he said.

The old man coughed for a while before continuing: "Master, you have also seen that the entire back garden of the Yin family has been burned to a white ground. The officials and I searched for the remains of Miss and Mrs. Yin, but found nothing,...... The fire was so great that even the copper incense burner had melted, not to mention the bones, which must have turned to ashes. ”

"My son......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

Then the stumbling cries of the women rang out.

Yang Qiuchi stepped into the house, on the floor of the living room, kneeling with an innocent face. Song Zhixian was sitting on a chair in the middle of the living room, and there were four or five women sitting on either side, all holding handkerchiefs to wipe their tears, and sitting at the end of a woman dressed in fancy clothes, saw Yang Qiuchi come in, and secretly looked him up and down.
