"What do you think?"

The other three asked Ye Heng in unison, Ye Heng didn't say a word, pulled Luo Ying and ran upstairs to the inn.

Li Xin and Liu He followed, and when they saw the closed door of the room, Liu He was stunned and asked, "This is not ...... Not that...... The room where the murder occurred? ”

"Not bad!"

Li Xin nodded, and then said in Liu He's ear: "Don't make a fuss, do you know what Brother Ye's identity is in addition to being a student who came to take the exam like us?" ”

Liu He asked, "Could it be ...... Is he that Ye Heng? ”

"Not bad!"

Li Xin nodded, and then he looked at Liu He with a smug look, as if knowing Ye Heng was something worth showing off!

Indeed, although Ye Heng didn't know, his name was at least thunderous among these students in Jiangning. At the age of fourteen, he can write words, even Liu Yong sighs to himself, and he is also an official, and he is a complicated case......

To be honest, even Liu He, who was in his twenties, was a little stunned when he saw this room, but Ye Heng pushed the door and walked in without thinking!

The light in the room was very dim, but Luo Ying also followed in, only Li Xin and Liu He were guarding the door, they were afraid, after all, they were not the people who investigated the case, and there would be taboos when they entered, the ancients...... All believe this.

After Ye Heng entered the room, he directly found the corner where he found the strange tiles, and stood below for a while.

"Cloth, cantilever beam...... So that's it...... Shadow puppetry? ”

Ye Heng muttered to himself, just now he was inspired by seeing the diligent student on the second floor reading with his head hanging from the beam, not only figured out how the murderer escaped from the secret room after the murder, but also thought of the principle of shadow puppetry!

After figuring out these things, Ye Heng had already figured out the identity of the murderer, so he immediately said to Luo Ying: "Brother Luo, let's go!" ”

"Where to go?"

"Find someone, find the murderer!"

"Hold on, do you know who the murderer is?"

"Nope!"

Ye Heng paused suddenly, he frowned, and said, "Without evidence, you really can't act rashly now......

Thinking of this, Ye Heng said to Luo Ying: "Brother Luo, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you!" ”

Luo Ying nodded and said, "Hold on, you can say it!" ”

"You go to Wuyi Lane now, find Brother Hu, and then the two of you will go to check together, you have recently come to Jiangning City or the opera troupe stationed in Jiangning, remember! The murderer's body shape should be very well-proportioned and definitely not fat...... Moreover, this person should also be very good at imitation, especially disguise into someone else's appearance, and then learn someone else's tone! Ye Heng confessed a lot of information about the murderer to Luo Ying in a row, and finally confessed: "Remember, you have to inquire secretly, and don't let the people in the troupe know, so as not to startle the snake!" ”

Luo Ying nodded, in fact, according to Ye Heng's requirements, he was afraid of startling the snake, maybe things were indeed a little difficult to do, but it was still very simple to find a character who played in the hook bar.

Because the actors don't care about men and women, if they want their performances to attract more people to watch, they have to give full play to their advantages. The origin of Chinese opera art can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, and it has been developing, from the very beginning of simple individual opera performances to the Northern Song Dynasty, and the professional art performance group of opera troupes has also been initially formed.

There are several opera troupes in Jiangning City, but at this time, the art of opera is not as prosperous as in the later Ming and Qing dynasties.

This kind of troupe is also easy to find, Luo Ying and Hu Buxiu wore the robes of ordinary men, and went to the door of the hook bar to watch the play, and after a while, they got to know the troupe.

Then Luo Ying asked someone about the appearance of these actors, and finally in the early hours of the morning, Luo Ying returned to the Splendid Inn with a few portraits.

When Luo Ying came back, Ye Heng had already sent Li Xin and Liu He away, and they had already fallen asleep.

Luo Ying didn't bother Ye Heng, but after being woken up by Ye Heng the next day, he handed over the portraits to Ye Heng.

Coincidentally, just when Ye Heng just grabbed the portrait in his hand, someone knocked on the door outside, saying that he wanted Ye Heng to hurry to the mansion.

Ye Heng immediately walked outside the room, Luo Ying was in a daze, and immediately woke up at this time, and then hurriedly dressed to chase Ye Heng, and when he arrived at the yamen, the head catcher who had been waiting at the door came up and said to Ye Heng: "Ye Gongzi, Li Yucheng's concubine and mother have come to recognize the corpse!" ”

"Where?"

"Li Yucheng's corpse has been transported from Yizhuang, I'll take you there!"

followed the head catcher to the scene of the identification of the body, only to see Yan Shu, Zhang Shixun and Gongsun Hou were also there, in front of the coffin, a white-haired old woman sat weakly on the ground, and next to the mother-in-law, a woman in her twenties was crying.

"The body has been confirmed, and it is indeed Li Yucheng......"

Hearing that the head catcher said that Li Yucheng's family recognized the corpse, Ye Heng couldn't help frowning, and then he looked at Li Yucheng's mother a few times, and found something, so he asked the head catcher: "What is the old woman doing?" ”

I saw Li Yucheng's mother suddenly crying in the direction of no one, and after the correction of the woman next to her, the mother-in-law turned around and faced the coffin.

The head catcher explained: "Li Yucheng's old mother is said to have been blind for some time......

"Son...... My son ......"

Li Yucheng's mother burst into tears, and after crying for a while, the relationship became more and more difficult to contain, and she actually raised her head and scolded: "God, why are you so ruthless? Even if my son is a bad country, you have already punished the old man, why do you still take my son's life? ”

"For the Bad Country?"

Ye Heng's mind moved, and then he continued to watch things develop quietly.

"Auntie, you mourn and change, don't cry your body!"

A man stepped forward and helped Li Yucheng's mother up, and after seeing this man, Ye Heng's eyes suddenly widened, and then he asked the head catcher next to him, "Who is he?" ”

The head catcher replied: "It is said that it is Li Yucheng's cousin, but he is from Luzhou, named Jiang Shengwen!" ”

"Jiang Shengwen?"

Ye Heng frowned, his hand involuntarily touched his chest, and inside, there was the portrait that Luo Ying and Hu Buxiu found last night!
