Beiye Xuan didn't believe that he couldn't find this so-called master of the Liu family, so he directly went with Su Xiaoya and asked a few people who had been friends with the Liu family back then.

"You said the Liu family...... Alas, this one is really miserable. That old man Liu lost his wife at a young age, and finally brought up this only daughter, but he ...... Who do you say this kind of thing is going to be, and who can stand it? Mrs. Chen, who had been friends with the Liu family at the beginning, sighed and said.

Su Xiaoya already knew these things, so she asked, "Then do you know where Master Liu went later?" We have some things we want to find Master Liu to ask clearly. ”

Mrs. Chen shook her head and said, "Master Liu? I do not know. At the beginning, Master Liu insisted on waiting until the murderer was caught before burying Miss Liu, but the county commander couldn't catch people, not to say that the people were foreigners and had already left Jiangnan. In the end, let's talk about it, and Master Liu buried Miss Liu. It's just that the day after this burial, Master Liu suddenly disappeared. ”

Saying that, Mrs. Chen also looked in the direction of Liufu: "Well, this Liufu has fallen into this way now." The jewels, gold and silver inside have long since been taken away. ”

"Taken away?! You said it was stolen? Su Xiaoya hurriedly asked.

Mrs. Chen shook her head: "We don't know, whether it was stolen or taken away by Master Liu himself, who knows?" ”

This Mrs. Chen is also a talkative, and she has already told the news that Su Xiaoya wants to know in just a few words.

It's just that Su Xiaoya didn't inquire about the news she wanted to know the most, and smiled a little disappointed: "Thank you, Mrs. Chen." ”

Mrs. Chen blinked her eyes and asked, "Are you trying to turn over the Liu family's case?" Can you find the murderer? ”

The sudden change in Mrs. Chen's family made Su Xiaoya a little stunned: "It should be ...... It should work. ”

Sister Chen then breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good!" If Master Liu is still there...... I'm afraid he can rest assured. ”

Su Xiaoya slandered in her heart, this Master Liu may already be a murderer, even if he is relieved, he will lose his life.

After leaving the Chen family, Su Xiaoya was a little disappointed: "I thought I could ask something from the mouths of these people who were good friends with the Liu family...... Alas, where did this Master Liu go! ”

Seeing Su Xiaoya's tired face, Beiye Xuan comforted: "Master Liu's sudden disappearance is to prevent people from discovering his whereabouts, if these people know, then what is the purpose of his disappearance?" ”

Su Xiaoya was dumbfounded, what Beiye Xuan said was indeed the truth, but Su Xiaoya still had some expectations to ask some clues. Now that she returned empty-handed, Su Xiaoya was inevitably a little disappointed.

"It's okay, it's a good thing for us that this Master Liu has no news now. As long as we can find this Master Liu, we will definitely be able to find a breakthrough. Seeing Su Xiaoya's gloomy expression, Kitano Xuan hurriedly comforted her.

Su Xiaoya nodded and stopped talking.

After a few days, not only did Master Liu have no news, but he even seemed to have disappeared directly from this world, and there was no clue at all.

On this day, Kitano Xuan returned to the house with a small package in his hand.

"What is this?" Su Xiaoya looked at the things in Kitano Xuan's hand curiously, it seemed to be a bunch of wooden stick-like things, but they were just wrapped in cloth by Kitano Xuan.

Kitano Xuan spread out the things in his hand on the table, and after opening it, he found that it was a pile of plum blossom hairpins.

Su Xiaoya was dumbfounded: "This ...... Isn't this one of those plum hairpins? You went to the county office and got these things back?! ”

These plum blossom hairpins were all found from the corpses, and I don't know what means Kitano Xuan used, but he actually persuaded the county order to take these hairpins back.

Kitano Xuan nodded: "Go to the county government to warn him first." Anyway, even if he didn't say anything about the Liu family, the people outside knew about it, and the county magistrate knew that it couldn't be hidden. ”

Su Xiaoya gently picked up those plum blossom hairpins, there is nothing like checking fingerprints in this era, otherwise as long as you check the same fingerprints on these plum blossom hairpins, you can immediately know who the real murderer is.

"But even if you get these plum hairpins, it's useless, after all, these plum hairpins are very common, even the workmanship and pattern are the simplest silver hairpins and ordinary plum blossoms, presumably there are many places to sell this kind of thing, right?" Su Xiaoya felt that Kitano Xuan's use of these plum blossom hairpins was simply an extra move.

Kitano Xuan shook his head, picked up a plum blossom hairpin casually, pointed to the last line of small characters on it and said, "What do you think these are?" ”

That line of small characters was indeed a little too small, Su Xiaoya squinted her eyes and looked at it for a long time before she saw what was written on it: "Zhang Ji Yinpu?" ”

Beiye Xuan nodded: "It is indeed Zhang Ji Silver Shop, this shop is relatively famous in the city, the workmanship and materials are among the best, as long as we go over and ask, we can know who bought these hairpins." ”

Su Xiaoya couldn't wait to pull Beiye Xuan and hurriedly went to the Zhang Ji silver shop.

Zhang Ji Yinpu is really like what Beiye Xuan said, the store not only occupies a full four rooms, but even so, the customers inside are full, and even the shopkeeper is busy sweating.

"What do you want to buy?" A middle-aged man saw the two of them walking in, and hurriedly leaned over and asked.

Kitano Xuan glanced at it and took out a plum blossom hairpin from his arms: "Is this kind of silver hairpin sold in your store?" Can you find out who has bought it recently? ”

The middle-aged man took the plum blossom hairpin and looked at it for a long time, and then said with some regret: "I'm really embarrassed, this silver hairpin is indeed made in our store, but this kind of hairpin is too ordinary, and the price is not high, so it has always been the best one to sell." Now the vendors outside have started to imitate our hairpins, so ......"

The middle-aged man smiled, and Kitano Xuan understood, this Zhang Ji Silver Shop didn't know who had bought it.

Su Xiaoya still didn't give up and asked, "I really don't know at all?" Did anyone buy several at once? You always have some impression of this, right? ”

The middle-aged man still shook his head regretfully and said, "I'm sorry madam, we really don't know about this." After all, no one buys several of these hairpins at once. What's more, this hairpin is so ordinary, we won't register it here. ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man also took out an account book, on which were written the buyers of some valuable jewelry, and ordinary things like plum blossom hairpins would not be recorded at all.

Su Xiaoya sighed in disappointment, they had already started from the two directions of Master Liu and the plum blossom hairpin, but they still didn't get any information. Not only that, but even the case has fallen into a dead end.

Seeing Su Xiaoya's disappointed face, the middle-aged man asked in some surprise, "What, is there something wrong with this plum blossom hairpin?!" ”

After all, the plum blossom hairpin came from Zhang Jiyin's shop, so the middle-aged man was a little afraid that the shop would take on any responsibility.

Kitano Xuan indifferently took the hairpin and said, "If you Zhang Ji Yinpu can tell us immediately after having any news about this, maybe your shop can not bear some responsibility, otherwise it will ......."

The middle-aged man was frightened by Kitano Xuan, and quickly nodded in response.

Just as the two were about to leave, the middle-aged man ran out with something: "I'm sorry two, our shopkeeper just found out this account book, but this is just a record of some people who bought silver hairpins, and I don't know if it's useful." ”

Su Xiaoya looked at it casually, not to mention any useful information in it, the information recorded on it was messy, I was afraid that I wouldn't even be able to understand it.

"Then we'll take this back first, and if there's anything else going on, we'll come to your shopkeeper." Su Xiaoya still put away the account books and said.

On the way home, Su Xiaoya was a little frustrated: "I really didn't expect that we would still walk into this dead end." As she spoke, Su Xiaoya waved the account book in her hand fiercely.

Kitano Xuan seemed to have expected this kind of thing to happen: "Actually, this kind of hairpin is indeed very common. However, this hairpin may be found in every corpse, and this plum blossom hairpin must be very important to the murderer, so he will put this hairpin next to the corpse...... Let's go back and have a good rest. ”

These days, in order to be able to find out the real culprit, Su Xiaoya has been accompanying Beiye Xuan to investigate the case, and even the time to rest has been reduced a lot.

Su Xiaoya frowned and thought for a while and said, "Will it be ...... If this murderer is really Master Liu, will this plum blossom hairpin be Miss Liu's favorite hairpin during her lifetime, or that this plum blossom hairpin has some other meaning in Miss Liu's case, so it will appear? ”

Su Xiaoya's speculation is not unfounded, after all, a serial murderer must have some other purpose, and this plum blossom hairpin must be a special breakthrough.

"Then this plum blossom hairpin continues to follow up as an important clue. Later, I will go to the county government to see if I can bring out the original incident of Miss Liu, and see if there are any details about the plum hairpin in the case back then. Bei Yexuan put away the plum blossom hairpin in his hand, and took the account book in Su Xiaoya's hand into his own hand.

Su Xiaoya reluctantly said: "But I still want to go to the county government with you to investigate this matter, I don't want to go back alone." ”

Since coming to Jiangnan, Beiye Xuan has found that Su Xiaoya seems to be more dependent on herself, no matter where she goes, Su Xiaoya wants to follow her side all the time.

Kitano Xuan was happy in his heart, but he was also a little helpless.
