Ninth Thuan 6th year, April.

On the futon on the Luo Zhang bed in the main public room of Dali Temple, there was a white and tender little boy. The little boy's hair was oily, tied in a small bun on the top of his head, and the small pieces of hair stuck to his forehead.

The boy was reading a book with his eyes down, his long and thick eyelashes flickering like a fan, and under the high bridge of his nose was a small red and bright little mouth, which was smashed a few times, cute and smart.

As if he had encountered a problem, he propped his chin with his chubby little white hands and stared at the words in the book.

"Peace, this ...... What word? ”

His chamberlain came up and said, "It's a pimple, a small lump on the silk." ”

"Blemishes?"

"Yes, it's a flaw, Your Highness, you can be smart!"

"Shhhh Brother Yuandao.

Ping An smiled and grinned.

Brother Yuan was born in March of the second year of Ning Shun, just turned five years old, knows a lot of words, and his daily pastime is all kinds of books.

Brother Yuan put down the book and looked at the door, "Why hasn't the queen mother come yet?" ”

"It's not time yet, and I don't know you're coming. I knew you should have come with my mother. ”

Brother Yuan shook his head: "It's okay, I'm here to wait for him to be the same." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Song Ning coming in from the door, and explained to Qiao Si as he walked: "You go and get my box, and then call Xu Xu to scoop a few people, I will go to the scene after I take the corpse." ”

"Queen Mother!" Brother Yuan pulled out from under his ass in a short time, jumped down and got up to greet him, and helped Song Ning up the steps, "Queen Mother, you have to walk slowly, my sister who walks so fast will be afraid." ”

Song Ning looked down at Jiuyue's belly, and then looked at Brother Yuan who was standing next to his legs: "You came here, Mr. agreed?" ”

Brother Yuan said in a milky voice: "It's okay, my husband and I both think that taking care of you is more important than me studying." ”

Song Ning glanced at his son, flipped through the blank corpse compartment on the desk, and stuffed the pencil case into his bag: "Are you sure Mr. thinks so too?" Didn't you bewitch Mr.? ”

"Queen Mother, Sir is a great Confucian who can read poetry and books, and you are disrespecting Mr. when you say this. Of course, the gentleman's idea is his own independent idea! Brother Yuan climbed on the chair and sat down, and Song Ning could look at eye level.

Song Ning sneered, and put the small schoolbag on his son's shoulder: "Brother Yuan, today is another hard day for you." ”

"No hard work, no hard work." Brother Yuan grabbed Song Ning's hand, "Taking care of the queen mother, the child is very happy." ”

Song Ning knocked on his son's head: "My mouth is so sweet, do you want to eat Shijiao Hutong lipstick sugar glutinous rice cake?" ”

"If the queen mother is willing to buy it for the child, the child will thank the queen mother a lot." Brother Yuan hung his little face, his eyes rolled and he swallowed his saliva.

Song Ning took his son and strode out of Dali Temple.

Qiao Si and the others followed with her tools.

As soon as the mother and son went to the street, the people on the street came up to salute, and it was not a big gift, but everyone came, like a greeting from the neighbors.

"Lord Song, is it the case of the Wen family in the four alleys?" Someone asked Song Ning.

Song Ning nodded: "Yes, uncle, have you heard anything?" ”

"Everyone knows that there are two dead husband and wife, the male is the buddy of the Mao family's goods store, called Xu Er, and the female Xu Yao's family, they all know each other."

Everyone followed Song Ning to the four alleys.

The case was reported in the morning, and the dead were a husband and wife, the man's name was Xu Erjin Chinese New Year's Eve two years old, the woman Xu Yao was thirty years old, the two had a pair of children, a son was ten years old and a daughter was two years old.

The neighbor was startled by the crying of the two children in the morning, and shouted that people should not climb over the wall to check, and only then did they find out about the homicide.

The two children are now accompanied by their aunt Cai Wen's family, waiting for Song Ning next door.

Song Ning chatted with everyone about the Wen family, and Brother Yuan didn't rest, protecting her mother's belly while chatting with the men and women on the other.

"Your Highness, didn't you go to school today? Accompanied the mother to investigate the case again? A woman asked him.

Brother Yuan nodded and said, "Yes." Is my aunt also idle today? ”

"I'm not idle, I was going to go to my daughter's house, she is also going to give birth, I'm going to give birth, look at me not carrying meat and cloth!"

Brother Yuan didn't understand what giving birth was, so he nodded matter-of-fact and said, "Well, with you here, you will definitely be happy." ”

The woman couldn't be happier, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is really clever. ”

Someone came up to talk again, Brother Yuan walked all the way and chatted all the way, and there were more people chatting than Song Ning.

Song Ning couldn't help but look at her son, just to see that her son was coaxing a woman wiping her tears: "Auntie, what my uncle gave me yesterday, I will also give it to you today." He said, Oh, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren! ”

He said this seriously.

Song Ning couldn't help laughing, this kid pretended to be mature as soon as he arrived in front of people, for fear that others would see that he was young.

The woman was really comforted by him, wiped her tears and saluted Brother Yuan, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, if you don't think about it, it's a lifetime." ”

"Auntie, you're right!"

The woman went away gladly.

Song Ning asked Brother Yuan, "Do you understand what she said?" ”

"She said that her daughter-in-law and son were not filial, and I probably understood." Brother Yuan sighed, "Alas, everyone is so hard! ”

Song Ning knocked his son's head: "You have worked the hardest, you have to think so much at a young age." ”

Brother Yuan smiled at Song Ning, his baby teeth were shiny, innocent and cute.

"Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan!" Lu Miaomiao came up from behind, "Brother Yuan, I'm here to accompany you." ”

Lu Miaomiao picked up Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan hugged his neck, and said with a smile: "Did Uncle Miao go to the tailor shop again?" ”

"yes, yes." Lu Miaomiao took two pieces of glutinous rice from her arms, "Do you really want to eat it?" ”

Brother Yuan nodded: "Well, I think about it a little." ”

"Brother Yuan said that there is one thing that I want to think about very much." Qiao Si moved two chairs and put them in the courtyard, "It's too bloody inside, you sit in the courtyard with His Highness." ”

Lu Miaomiao nodded, and ate glutinous rice cakes with Brother Yuan.

A man posted it up, half-kneeling in front of Brother Yuan, his thin face and eyes were red, as if he had cried, Brother Yuan looked at him and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, the villain's name is Dongshun, the villain has read books for many years, and he has also learned the I Ching gossip from his teacher, and the villain can also play tricks." As he spoke, he blew it, and there was more red handkerchief in his hand, and then the handkerchief burned and burned, and it became a red flower.

The onlookers shouted wonderful, forgetting that this was at the door of the deceased's house.

Dongshun was also very proud, waiting for Brother Yuan to clap his hands in a novel way, leaving him by his side to serve and play.

Children are easy to deceive.

Lu Miaomiao also clapped her hands: "This is interesting, I have seen it once before, and I haven't seen it since, is there anything else?" ”

"Yes, there are many more." Dong Shun said, "Does Your Highness want to watch these little tricks every day in the future?" The villain can also teach His Highness, and if he learns His Highness, he will be able to make tricks to make his mother happy. ”

Brother Yuan looked at Dongshun expressionlessly, and said, "You burn alive and play with knives, but it's not suitable for children to play, I'm young, you scared me." ”

"Go, go, go."

Brother Yuan waved his hand.

Dongshun looked stunned, and said in his heart, you are not scared at all.

After everyone made a commotion, the Middle East Shun withdrew.

"Uncle Miao, you can't believe him, such a person is deliberately playing tricks to coax me. If he cheats the reward, it won't matter, but he has such a big heart and wants to stay by my side! You can't believe this kind of person. Brother Yuan said, took out a handkerchief and wiped Lu Miaomiao's mouth, "Remember?" ”

Lu Miaomiao nodded: "Remember!" ”

"Alas, Uncle Miao Miao, if you go on like this, you still can't impress Aunt Tong." Brother Yuan sighed.

"What's the matter?"

"I'll tell you......" He leaned into Lu Miaomiao's ear, and the two of them muttered and muttered......

Song Ning checked the courtyard and entered the room, the two deceased were both dead on the bed, lying with their heads down, the woman was inside and the man was outside, the man was naked, the woman was wearing a middle coat, the quilt was half on the chest, the murderer was cut through the quilt, and the cotton was turned out because of the rupture of the bedding.

The murder weapon was an axe, which was thrown on the edge of the bed, stained with blood. The ground, the tent, and the bedding were soaked with blood.

Song Ning uncovered the quilt, and the interruption of the man's body was almost cut off, similar to a waist chop. The woman was slightly better, but her chest and abdomen were also bloody and blurry.

There were no lost belongings at the scene, and there were no signs of turning elsewhere in the bedroom.

Song Ning's intuitive first feeling should be vendetta. You can even imagine the murderer wielding an axe with a hideous face.

"Let's do the autopsy!" Song Ning put on her gloves, and Tang Xingye was a little worried about her, "My lord, what are you ...... Why don't you shout a puppet. ”

The due date of Song Ning's second child should be in mid-April. Today, the third day of the fourth month, is about ten days.

"It's okay, you can help me." Song Ning thinks that in addition to the inconvenience of bending over, he is as light as a swallow.

A priori male corpse.

The man was determined to be 32 years old, his name was Xu Er, a partner of the Mao family's goods store, with about 14 injuries to his chest and abdomen, three broken ribs, a split spleen, and two broken intestines out of his body. The lower limbs are intact without injury.

Although the woman is 30, Xu Yaoshi, 30 years old, has seven injuries to her chest and abdomen, a broken rib, a ruptured spleen, and her lower limbs are intact without injuries.

"Hey," Song Ning said to Tang Xingye, "pull up the tent and open the window." ”

After the light was better, Song Ning wiped the left cheek of the deceased Xu Yao, and three obvious striped marks of subcutaneous bleeding could be seen.

"Is this a slap print?" Tang Xingye asked.

Song Ning bowed: "That's right." ”

"The murderer hit him?" Tang Xingye felt that this slap was a little strange.

Song Ning said: "You go and ask the eldest son of their family, isn't he ten years old?" Asked him if his parents had quarreled last night, and if his father had beaten his mother. ”

"I'll ask." Xu Scoop said and went out to ask the child, and came back after a while and said, "The eldest is ten years old this year, and he is a little scared, he was the first to find out that his father and mother were dead in the morning, and he was scared and shouted for help in the yard." ”

"He said that his mother and stepfather didn't quarrel last night, and they didn't fight."

Tang Xingye asked, "Stepfather? ”

"Well, the surname of the house here is Wen, and this is also the surname Wen. The husband of the female deceased died three years ago, and she took her son to remarry Xu Er, and she did not move out after marriage, and still lives here. Xu scooped up, "This little daughter is Xu Er's." ”

Tang Xingye didn't pay attention to it just now, but now that he thinks about it, it really is, and when he reported the case, he also said that it was the Wen family of Sitiao Hutong, but he didn't say that it was the Xu family.

"Then there is a high probability that this slap was hit by the murderer." Song Ning asked the people in the room, "Test you, why did the murderer slap Xu Yao when he was holding an axe to cut off his red eyes?" ”

The murderer stood beside the bed and waved his right hand to slap the left side of Xu Yao's face. Judging from the wounds of the two deceased, the murderer was right-handed, what does this mean?

It shows that the murderer took the axe from his right hand to his left hand, and then used his free right hand to slap Xu Yao's face.

"I know." A small head poked in at the door, covering her eyes with one hand, but she could still see the scene in the room through the cracks in her fingers, "because the murderer didn't want to kill her." ”

Tang Xingye nodded: "My subordinates think so too." ”

Song Ning couldn't cry or laugh, and looked at his son: "What else?" ”

"Anything else?" Brother Yuan tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "And I think that the murderer hates this man even more." ”

"Mother, am I right?"

Song Ning was about to nod, Brother Yuan was picked up and put aside, as soon as he looked up, he saw a tall man wearing a hood standing at the door, he hurriedly covered his mouth, and whispered, "Oh, father, why are you here too!" ”

"Why didn't I come?" Zhao Yi said, "Let you guard your mother, and you are standing at the door and being lazy?" ”

Brother Yuan shook his head: "I'm not lazy, I've been standing here to protect the queen mother." ”

"Then you're scared." Zhao Yi entered the door, and as soon as he took a step, a villain took the lead in with his hands behind his back, his eyes flickering and looking left and right, "How can I be afraid, I'm not afraid." ”

Zhao Yi snorted: "This is what a man looks like." ”

Song Ning looked at him with disgust: "What does this have to do with men." She said and called Lu Miaomiao to come in, "Take Brother Yuan out." ”

Lu Miaomiao came in and hugged Brother Yuan out, Brother Yuan hugged Lu Miaomiao's neck tightly, but shouted on his lips: "Queen Mother, it's okay with me, I'm bold." He also sought Lu Miaomiao's affirmation, "Yes, Uncle Miao." ”

"Uh-huh. You're bold, as big as I am. ”

Brother Yuan gestured at Lu Miaomiao's head and pretended to be his body, thought about it and gave up.

Zhao Yi helped Song Ning, looked at the surrounding environment, and said, "Such a cruel method, the hatred is monstrous!" ”

"You're down, nothing else?" Song Ning checked the sheets, and Zhao Yi followed her to protect her, "What's the point of spending all day, I'm efficient." ”

"Don't move, I'll come!"

Song Ning commanded, Zhao Yi worked, and threw his hat aside when he was annoying: "One of the disadvantages of being an emperor, I can't show such a good-looking face casually." ”

It's not that he's afraid of danger, but as soon as he comes out, he walks and kneels down the street, which is very troublesome.

After checking inside and out, everyone rested in the courtyard, and Cai Wenshi, the former sister-in-law of the deceased Xu Yao's family, lent them seven or eight benches, and everyone sat down.

Two children, the two-year-old daughter slept in the neighbor's house next door because she was tired from crying, and the ten-year-old son named Wen Liu'an, thin and small, snuggled in the arms of his aunt Cai Wen.

"You said that your parents didn't quarrel last night, and the atmosphere at home is very good?" Song Ning asked Wen Liu'an.

Wen Liuan nodded: "They haven't quarreled." ”

"You usually sleep next door with your sister?" Song Ning asked him.

The courtyard has three rooms and a main house, dragging the kitchen and firewood room, which is very common in the capital.

The deceased's room was in the east wing, the two children lived in the west wing, and a hut was built on the west side, and the door was open and there was an empty bed inside, and no one lived in it.

"Hmm. I took my sister to dinner and went back to bed. ”

"Did you hear anything during the night?"

Wen Liuan shook his head: "I didn't hear it." ”

There is a hall in the middle, and it is difficult to hear the sound.

Song Ning asked Cai Wenshi: "Your brother died three years ago?" How did he die? ”

"Three years ago, he went out on the 10th day of the 6th month, and he was supposed to arrive home on the 17th of June, but there was no news until the 23rd, and when he inquired, he found out that the boat he was on on the night of the 16th capsized on the canal, and a total of 14 people died on board."

"Collected the body? Death indeed? Zhao Yi asked her.

Cai Wenshi nodded: "Accepted." It was me and my sister-in-law who caught it on June 25. ”

"My brother...... He had a miserable life. Cai Wenshi cried as she spoke, and Song Ning asked her, "Xu Yao's remarried Xu Er, why didn't he move away?" ”

"Lu'an was seven years old at the time, and if she was taken away, she might as well change her surname, so it was better to let her stay here to recruit relatives, although some people gossip, it is better than taking Lu'an away." Cai Wen's said.

After he finished speaking, Brother Yuan, who was sitting on Lu Miaomiao's lap, asked cautiously, "Then, is it confirmed?" ”

"What?" Cai Wenshi was puzzled, and Brother Yuan said again, "Confirm that it is, is it your brother?" ”

Zhao Yi pointed to his son: "Yes, a little brain." ”

Lu Miaomiao was not convinced: "Brother Yuan has always been smart. ”

"Not as smart as I was when I was a kid." Zhao Yi said.

Brother Yuan nodded, and echoed Zhao Yi with a sincere face: "Yes, you are the smartest, and my intelligence has only inherited one-twelfth of yours." ”

"Almost, three or four out of ten at most."

Song Ning coughed, and the father and son shut up.

It's just that one dares to hold it and the other really dares to admit it, Song Ning glanced at them speechlessly, and said to Cai Wenshi: "You continued, did you confirm the identity of the corpse at that time?" ”

"It's confirmed, it's my brother."

Song Ning looked at the corpse and asked Wen Liu'an: "Do you often have guests coming and going at home?" ”

"Yes. Uncles and uncles often come to the house to play. ”

Song Ning said to Qiao Si: "You and Ding Bufan go to Mao Ji together, and ask Xu Er's friends who usually come and go, or if they have any enmities." ”

Write a short case, and when you finish writing, it's over.

Recently, they have been updated normally, but the number of words is uncertain, try to have as many brailles as possible, and end it early.
