Xing'er said: "When I cut the insole, I used your shoes to compare, and you went out to work at that time." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"I can't see it, you little girl is still smart. Then I'm going to wear it. Yang Tashan put two pairs of insoles on the table, took off the boots on his feet, took the pair of insoles embroidered with lotus flowers and looked at them, and sighed twice: "Such beautiful insoles, it's a work of art, it's a pity to use them to pad shoes, it's a pity." ”

Xing'er's face was flushed, she put down the pu fan, took the boots and insoles from Yang Tashan's hand, helped him put them on, and said, "If the young master can see it, Xing'er will make you a few more pairs in the future." ”

Yang Tashan put on his boots, walked back and forth a few steps, and nodded: "Well, it's really good, it's fitting and comfortable." ”

"That's good." Xing'er was very happy, "Young Master, I'll go wash your changed clothes." With that, he went into the bathroom.

Yang Tashan continued to lie on the Taishi chair and shook the pu fan to enjoy the coolness, thinking about the case that happened during the day. At this time, I heard Xing'er's voice: "Young master, how can you have a portrait of this eldest sister?" ”

As soon as Yang Tashan turned around, he saw Xing'er holding a piece of paper in her hand, which was the portrait of the deceased in today's murder case, which he took back from the yamen to ponder the case, and after undressing just now, he put it in the bathroom.

Listening to Xing'er's words, Yang Tashan's heart moved and asked, "What?" Do you know this woman? ”

Xing'er nodded: "Last year, my mother and I fled to Qingyang, there were many victims at that time, and the food from the imperial court had not yet arrived, so my mother and I lived in the Chenghuang Temple, and this eldest sister also fled the famine." My mother and I were so hungry that this eldest sister shared half of our buns to survive. ”

Yang Tashan was very excited and hurriedly asked, "Who is this eldest sister?" What is it called? Where are the people? ”

Xing'er shook her head apologetically: "I only know that she also fled to Qingyang with her family, and she also lived in the City God Temple, but there were too many victims at that time, and there was a lot of commotion in the City God Temple, and after she gave us half of the bun, she went out to ask for food, and then I never saw her again." ”

"Can you be sure of her?"

"I'm sure she's my mother's lifesaver, how could I forget. Later, my mother and I begged for food in the city and never saw her again. ”

"Can you tell where her accent is?"

"I remember that her accent seemed to be from Shaanxi, where was Shaanxi, because she left after we only spoke a few words at that time, and my mother and I were almost hungry and fainted, so I didn't carefully distinguish her accent."

Shaanxi's? This range is too large. Yang Tashan asked: "Think about it again, and see if you can think of anything that can tell the origin of this woman's identity?" ”

Xing'er asked nervously, "Is something wrong with this eldest sister?" ”

"She was killed, and her body was found in Pingtougou outside Nancheng, and this is the case I went to solve today."

Apricot sighed, took the paper, and tears flowed down her face.

Yang Tashan stood up and walked over, gently hugging Xing'er's shoulder: "The young master will definitely catch the murderer and avenge this kind-hearted eldest sister." ”

Apricot nodded with tears in her eyes and sobbed softly.

Yang Tashan said: "Think about it again, what can you find out the origin of this eldest sister's identity, because we now suspect that this eldest sister died of love murder, and we need to find her relatives." ”

Xing'er thought for a while: "It seems that she fled with a man at that time, I don't know if it is his husband." ”

"Male?" Yang Tashan hurriedly asked, "What kind of man?" Have you seen it? ”

Xing'er shook her head: "I glanced at it from a distance, and the man called her outside the City God Temple, and she left." I didn't see the man's face. ”

Yang Tashan was a little disappointed and asked, "Is that man fleeing the famine?" ”

"Judging from the clothes, he is fleeing the famine, and his accent is similar to that eldest sister, and I don't know if it's his husband or brother."

Apricot can think of so much, Yang Tashan saw that it was still early, and decided to immediately feedback the news to Cheng Ziqin.

Hearing that Yang Tashan was going out again, Xing'er hurriedly ran to get Yang Tashan's waist knife, waist card and iron ruler. Yang Tashan hurriedly came to the prefect's yamen to catch the fast class.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the thin monkey hurriedly walking out, and the two almost bumped into each other, and the thin monkey saw Yang Tashan, and said happily: "Yang Zhutou, Cheng Zhutou is asking me to go to you, you are here, it's really good, go in." Cheng Catcher is waiting for you in the living room. ”

Yang Tashan came to the living room, and Cheng Ziqin was a little surprised: "Hey, why did you find it so quickly?" ”

Yang Tashan said: "I have a situation about the female corpse case and want to report it to the head arrest, so I came." ”

"Well, I'm looking for you, too." Cheng Ziqin asked Yang Tashan to sit down, "The brothers sent out inquired about the Lizheng in the city of Qingyang Mansion and the nearby villages, but there were a few missing women, after comparing the portraits, they were all ruled out, however, when asked about a Lizheng in Xicheng, he said that this woman seemed to have fled to Qingyang Mansion, and when the victims were counted, he had a little impression, but he was not sure." ”

"Great, what Li Zheng said should be true, because when my maid Xing'er fled to Qingyang before, she once saw this woman, and when Xing'er and her mother were dying of hunger, this woman gave them half a bun and saved their lives, so Xing'er remembered this woman's appearance. It's just that they didn't talk much, and the woman left, and she hasn't seen her since, so I don't know the woman's origin. ”

Cheng Ziqin said happily: "If this is the case, there should be a registration of this woman's situation there, and the victims of Qingyang Mansion have registered the grain relief at that time." Let's go find this Lizheng immediately. ”

Cheng Ziqin and Yang Tashan hurriedly came to Xicheng with the three fast catching team leaders and found the Lizheng. The surname here is Zheng, and it is the Li Zheng of the old city God's Temple, which is equivalent to the current director of the street office. An old man in his fifties.

After Cheng Ziqin briefly stated their speculation, Zheng Lizheng was surprised and delighted when he heard that his estimate was correct, and hurriedly dug out the registration stubs of the victims during last year's disaster relief.

At that time, there were many people who fled to Qingyang Province, and the sub-districts were registered by the local li, so that the disaster relief food could be distributed according to the capita, and there were stubs for the registration of the victims in each district, and the originals had to be sent to the prefect's yamen for retention.

However, although Li Zheng had this impression, but after half a year, he could not remember what the woman's name was, according to the disaster registration register, there were hundreds of people registered in the Chenghuang Temple at that time, a thick book. Since Li Zheng can't remember clearly, he can only check one by one.

Cheng Ziqin and the others looked at the thick stack of rosters and were dumbfounded, how can so many people check this?

Yang Tashan said: "The deceased is a female surname, about twenty-three years old, according to these two characteristics, the investigation will be carried out, and the possible female surname will be found first." ”

According to Yang Tashan's arrangement, several arresters quickly began to investigate, they first separated all the victims with female surnames, and then according to the age on the registration book, they found out the victims between the ages of 20 and 25, but there were still 48. The number is still too large to investigate.

Yang Tashan thought for a while, and then said: "According to Xing'er, this woman fled with another man at that time, and that man was likely to be her husband or brother. ”

This range is smaller, and after investigation, the scope is reduced to seventeen.

Yang Tashan said again: "According to Xing'er's recollection, this woman seems to be from Shaanxi with an accent, let's check her place of origin again." ”

In ancient China, on the one hand, the common people paid great attention to the concept of the countryside, and on the other hand, the government strictly forbade the peasants to move at will, so this accent is very revealing. This famine spread throughout Shaanxi, Shanxi, Sichuan and other places, and the victims were displaced, everywhere, but most of the people who fled to Qingyang Prefecture were local victims in Shaanxi.

After the investigation of the place of origin, the scope was narrowed down to twelve.

They transcribed the situation of the twelve women, and then returned to the Yamen Capture Fast Class.

Cheng Ziqin said: "Now that the famine has basically passed, these people should have returned to their respective hometowns, we must immediately send someone to bring the portraits to the hometown of these twelve women to visit and compare." ”

Yang Tashan agreed.

These twelve women belong to different places in Shaanxi, and the farthest journey takes more than 20 days to go back and forth, for the sake of safety, each place needs to send two people, and there are only twenty-two people in the entire Qingyang Prefecture Governor's Yamen, and they can't all be dispatched, and Cheng Ziqin and Yang Tashan need to sit in command and wait for news. I had to send one to each place to catch a fast and a strong people.

After the personnel were dispatched, they waited for news. I'm busy now, and I have a hope.

In the evening, the heat finally attracted a summer rain, the summer rain is the same as the child's face, it is also said to change, just now the sunset is infinite, in the blink of an eye, it is already a heavy rain.

Yang Tashan stood on the steps of the Yamen Catch Fast Class Room, at this time, the rain had become heavier and heavier, and the whole world was shrouded in a white rain curtain, and the rain dripping from the eaves of the class house was like a pearl with a broken thread, connected into a curtain of rain beads. In a short time, the yard was already full of puddles of water of all sizes.

Cheng Ziqin lived in the yamen, and when he saw this scene, he said to Yang Tashan: "Brother Tashan, come and sit in my house for a while, anyway, you can't leave now in such a heavy rain." ”

Yang Tashan said: "Okay, but I'll go to my sister's boudoir, isn't this too good?" ”

Cheng Ziqin said with a smile: "It's all said, you are brothers when you enter the six doors, but you still have so much attention, let's go." Walking along the platform to the backyard of the fast catching class, Yang Tashan followed her.
