The inner courtyard of the Han Mansion is quite simple, but when I entered the banquet room, I saw a longitudinal row of multi-treasure grids, on which many treasures such as jade, white jade, and golden lions were placed.

Even the blankets on the kang are foreign.

Quite luxurious.

Song Ning and Zhao Yi stood in the banquet room, and He Lian followed behind them.

"It's all new." Zhao Yi sneered.

Song Ning replied in a low voice: "Look at the lower bunk of the kang." ”

Under a layer of camel-colored adhesive blanket a gray corner of cotton linen, coarse and old, she walked over and lifted it, and the rag still had patches on it.

Compared with the priceless furnishings in the banquet room, this rag has the feeling of a glamorous nouveau riche.

"Is it genuine?" Song Ning couldn't help but be suspicious.

Zhao Yi picked up a jade Buddha, raised his eyebrows and said, "Although it is not excellent, the market price is not low." ”

It's really a nouveau riche.

What is rich?

"Two!" It is rumored that Han Ye, who is admired by thousands of people and has the secret recipe of immortality, appeared at the door, Song Ning turned around to look at the other party, about fifty years old, with long eyebrows and sideburns and eyes as bright as torches, tall and thin, covered with a gray robe, standing outside the curtain strung with pearls in his hands, quite a feeling of fairy wind and bones.

In this shape, it is much more pleasing to the eye than the horse tee.

I don't know who has the better character compared to the two Taoist priests.

"In Xia Hanyu, I don't know where the two of you came from, what are you looking for?" Han Yu entered the door and claimed to be a Taoist priest.

Zhao Yi clenched his fists and said, "The two of us are from Huang County, and I have something to ask you." ”

"Really? Two please. Han Yu was sure that they had come for the matter of buying shares in the gold mine, but who expected the tall and outstanding-looking young man to ask, "We came to find someone, a friend came to you on the evening of the 21st, but he has not returned home, do you know where he went?" ”

Han Yu was stunned for a moment, and his face changed: "I came to find the poor road and didn't go home?" How can this be asked of the poor? However, since you are here, it is not good for you to run in vain, is he a man or a woman, what does he look like? ”

"My brother is as tall as this Brother Song, his skin is very dark, tall and strong, by the way, he ...... here" He Lian raised his hand, "He has no index finger on his left hand, he was bitten by a fish when he was a child and cut off." ”

Only then did Han Yu find the black and thin He Lian, and frowned and said, "I came to look for it at night, but I haven't seen such a person in the poor way." ”

He recalled: "On the evening of the 21st, Tianxianglou of Poor Road talked to friends and didn't go home until dawn. I didn't see your brother on the road, and I was at home during the day, and no one came to look for me, will your brother go somewhere else? ”

Zhao Yi asked, "He didn't come to you in the past two days?" ”

Han Yu shook his head: "No." If I say for sure that I'm just alone, and people come to me every day, I don't have to hide it. ”

"Three, if there is nothing to do, I will not accompany you, Poor Dao still has something to discuss." Han Yu said, motioning for them to leave.

Zhao Yi and Song Ning didn't plan to stay, and after walking a few steps, Song Ning suddenly came up and asked Han Yu: "I have a friend who said that I still have a share of shares in my hand, can I still get it now?" ”

Han Yu was stunned.

Song Ning let out a "click" and squeezed his eyes at him.

"Yes!" Han Yu got goosebumps, "If you don't have to find your friend, wouldn't it be better to go directly to me?" ”

Song Ning "clicked" again, and winked at him: "It's also 15,000 in three months?" ”

"Of course! You have to do it as soon as possible, it will be completely over on the first day of the seventh month, and you won't collect any money in the future. After Han Yu finished speaking, seeing that Song Ning was going to speak again, he hurriedly stopped her, "You, you talk well, don't frown." ”

Flowing in and out.

Zhao Yi couldn't help but smile.

"Then this number is more than one hundred and fifty copies, who signed a contract with me, are you sure that you can get it back?" Song Ning asked with a smile.

"Sign with me, don't worry, since you have received the money, you will definitely give you the money according to the contract." Han Yu said, "You just have to wait to get the money." ”

"It's also in the second batch, and when the time comes, we will return the money together?"

"Of course, they will come back in early October, and we will be two in this batch, although rest assured."

Song Ning squeezed his eyes again: "Then I'll raise money." ”

Han Yu wiped his sweat, saw Song Ning and the three of them leave, and said in disgust: "Now young man, why are you so unserious?!" ”

Feminine in woman.

The three of them left the house and stood in the alley, Song Ning asked Zhao Yi, "How do you feel?" ”

"It's not like lying." Zhao Yi said.

Song Ning also thought that Han Yu was not lying, when he suddenly saw them being asked about He Tian, he told his whereabouts very naturally, and his expression and tone were very natural, without any trace of lying.

He Lian said anxiously: "I didn't lie, really. ”

"That night, the people in your village went to chase your brother, are you sure you didn't catch him?" Song Ning asked her.

He Lian nodded: "Yes, my father and the people in the village have not chased after me." ”

"My dad said he ran along the road and didn't find my brother."

"But my brother must have come to Lai County."

Go out around the 21st hour, and walk for two hours to get to Lai County. Even if you can't find Han Yu at night, why don't you come during the day the next day?

Such a stubborn person rarely gives up on something halfway.

Song Ning said to He Lian: "Go to the county government to have a look." ”

"Yamen?" He Lian was taken aback, "My brother will be arrested?" ”

Song Ning bowed: "Go and ask." ”

The three of them went to the county office, and the officers inside and outside the county government were also talking about the gold mine, and finally found the knife and pen officer who registered the case, and described He Tian's appearance: "...... Have any troublemakers been caught and locked up? ”

The knife and pen officer was very impatient: "No, I haven't arrested anyone back for the past two days." ”

Song Ning sighed and said to He Lian: "You and we will go back first, we will also be here for the past two days, and then we will look for it slowly." ”

He Lian shook her head: "I, I'm looking for my brother." ”

This girl is also stubborn, Song Ning said: "Your father has no one to take care of at home, okay?" ”

He Lian replied: "He can get out of bed, I, I don't live with you, I, I'll go home today, and come back to you tomorrow morning, okay?" ”

Song Ning was about to speak, when the knife and pen officer who was about to go out suddenly paused, and asked casually: "An unknown corpse was found yesterday morning, do you want to take a look?" ”

"But the corpse was very rotten, and the autopsy said that it would be five or six days old."

Song Ning was stunned for a moment, and He Lian looked at Song Ning in horror.

"Five or six days, that's for sure...... Definitely not. He Lian shook her head and categorically denied, "My brother is twenty-one nights, and it has only been three days until today. ”

The knife and pen officer was also in a hurry to leave, waved his hand and said, "Then there is no such person, you can go." ”

"Why don't I go and see?" Song Ning asked the knife and pen officer, "Where did the corpse stop?" ”

The knife and pen officer said: "The anonymous person drowned in an accident again, so he stopped in Yizhuang, if you don't go to see it, you will go to the mass grave this afternoon." ”

Song Ning asked, "Didn't look for your family?" ”

"Aren't you looking for this? No one came to recognize it, and the corpse was so rotten that it could not be kept for long. ”

He Lian's face turned pale, and he shook his head and said, "Brother Song, you don't have to go, you definitely don't need to go to see it." ”

Zhao Yi looked at Song Ning, and when he saw that she didn't speak, he said to He Lian: "Let's go, you wait for us outside." ”

"That's—that's definitely running for nothing." He Lian said with trembling lips.

Song Ning smiled at her and said, "I'm just curious, really." ”

He Lian nodded: "Then, then I'll go with you to have a look." ”

"There's nothing to be curious about."

The three of them went out of the city and found Yizhuang.

Yizhuang only stopped two corpses, both male corpses, asked the old man guarding the door, he pointed to a corpse covered with a straw mat inside, and said: "I just sprinkled the medicine, otherwise the smell will not smell, and the maggots will grow." ”

"How old is the maggot?" Song Ning asked casually.

The old man was stunned, and immediately looked at Song Ning, and said, "Small, just ......" He pointed to the squirming one that fell on the threshold, "It's one size smaller than this." ”

"Really?" Song Ning looked at it carefully, raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't you test it and say that it has been five days?" ”

The old man nodded: "I said that I had been dead for five days, because it was too rotten." ”

"Oh." Song Ning thought for a moment, the old man bowed his hand respectfully, and said, "Childe is an expert, and the villain has been guarding Yizhuang for a lifetime, and Childe is still the first person to ask the size of a maggot when he enters the door." ”

Song Ning bowed his head: "You are also powerful, you know this." ”

Flies have time to grow. Generally one hour after death, the fly will appear in moist areas such as eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and after three to four hours, the eggs will hatch into maggots, which will grow two millimeters a day, and after four or five days, they can grow to a size of 12 millimeters to 15 millimeters.

Now there was a maximum of ten millimeters rolling on the threshold, and the old man said that it was even smaller.

Extrapolating the past, the inference of the time of death of the corpse was a little unreasonable in her opinion, of course, this was just speculation, she asked casually, after all, she hadn't seen the corpse yet.

"The villain unveils the mat to the son." The old man went in first, Song Ning thanked him and said to Zhao Yi and He Lian, "You wait for me outside, I'll just take a look." ”

He Tian has obvious physical features, which should be easy to recognize.

Despite the medicine, Zhao Yi still smelled his breath, he stood at the door and said with an expressionless face: "I'm fine, it's okay to take a look." ”

said, followed Song Ning in,

The old man uncovered the mat, Zhao Yi pursed his lips and coughed, and said to Song Ning, "I'll wait for you outside." ”

"You go farther, it's okay." Song Ning said.

Zhao Yi walked more than a dozen steps before regaining his breathing.

Every now and then, he will feel that Song Ning is not easy, but he sincerely appreciates and admires it.

Such a thing must not be supported by primitive love and enthusiasm, and the sense of responsibility and intellectual curiosity for the case is the main reason why she has been tirelessly doing this.

He was proud in his heart because this person was his Song Ning.

He Lian vomited on the side.

In Yizhuang, Song Ning looked at the corpse, and also checked the maggots, the size was indeed very small, and it was definitely not what the five-day corpse should have.

But the level of decay should be five days away.

She asked the old man, "What else did the person who sent the corpse say to you?" ”

"He was drowned, and he died in about five days, at the age of about twenty. But because the rot is so bad, the appearance is completely indistinguishable. ”

"On the beach, those who should have fallen into the sea and drowned, and those who don't know where the waves are hitting are also pitiful."

Song Ning and the old man said: "The corpse should not have been wandered away. ”

"Huh?" The old man asked, "Childe thinks the deceased died here?" ”

Song Ning asked, "Old man, do you have knives and scissors?" ”

She didn't expect to have to perform an autopsy here, so she didn't bring a toolbox.

"Yes, there are some, but, but I don't know if Childe can get used to it." The old man said with sincere fear.

"It's okay, there's not much to do." Song Ning said.
