Chapter 78: Wolf Tooth Moon
"Benefactor!" Mrs. Wang was originally a bit of a guard against the government office, but now she opened up and said, "Since you are on an errand in the government office, then I have nothing to hide from you, if you really want to know who Ming Gongzi is, go to the backyard to find that woman!" That Ming Gongzi was introduced to the master by her. As for the reason, the master just mentioned this, and I really don't know anything else. ”
"A woman in the backyard?" Jin Yue frowned fiercely, "Madame is talking about ......"
Mrs. Wang sighed, "Who else can it be, naturally it is the master's concubine, she is called hate, she hides in the courtyard all the year round, and lives in a simple house, I have never seen her." If you can find her, you'll probably find a clue. ”
"Why didn't you say it before?" Luo Zhutou was anxious.
Mrs. Wang looked away, "After the master's accident, she has not appeared, and I don't know whether she is still there." ”
Everyone looked at each other, Luo Zhutou took the lead and walked out, An Kangsheng followed, but when he left, he didn't forget to look back at the things in Jin Yue's palm, and his expression was a little sick.
"Madam, I'll go take a look first!" Jin Yue got up.
Mrs. Wang bowed her head, "Be careful, that woman may be martial arts." ”
Jin Yue had already taken a step, and when she heard this, she turned around suddenly, "What? ”
"When she first entered the house, I asked people to investigate, who knows...... When he came back, he was either lame or injured, and no one could see the movement inside. "When Mrs. Wang was young, she followed Master Wang around the business field, she had never seen anything, and some of the doors were still clear, "The benefactor has strong martial arts, but the open gun is easy to dodge and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, so you still have to be careful." ”
Jin Yue nodded and hurried out the door.
Out of the door, Frost Branch quickly greeted him, "Young lady, what is this?" ”
Jin Yue looked at the handkerchief in his palm, stood and opened it, there was a red rope inside, and a beast's tooth was tied to it, "It looks like a ...... Spike? It seems to be a wolf's tooth. ”
"Wolf fangs?" Frostbranch was puzzled, "What is this thing for?" ”
Mingzhu narrowed her eyes, "Young lady, let's put it away quickly!" ”
Jin Yue quickly put away the things, this thing belongs to her sister, if it is seen by outsiders, the people of Yanwangfu will definitely find her trouble again when they hear the news, she doesn't want her sister's things to fall into the hands of those hypocritical villains.
to the backyard.
Luo Zhusheng stood at the gate of the courtyard with his head on his waist, An Kangsheng's face was solemn.
"What's wrong?" Jin Yue asked hurriedly.
"No one!" An Kangsheng seemed to have expected this result for a long time, but in this way, the clue was broken again.
Ming Gongzi?
Hate late?
Mr. Wang's payment?
These seem to have become mysteries, and if you want to solve them, you must solve the links.
"Mrs. Wang said that hating the night may be martial arts." Jin Yue looked around and slowly walked into the courtyard gate.
The courtyard is not large, but it is very elegantly arranged, and the only thing that arouses suspicion is the bamboo curtains hanging in the cloister, if these bamboo curtains are all hanging down, it is impossible to see the people in the cloister clearly when standing in the courtyard.
"It's really secretive." Jin Yue put her hands around her chest, thoughtfully climbed the stairs, and walked slowly in the corridor, Rao also needs to light the lamp to travel during the day, otherwise the entire corridor will be dark and extremely gloomy.
Frost Branch shrank back, "It's okay during the day, and you can still seep in a little light, but if it's night, don't you be scared?" I'm afraid I don't even dare to get up alone at night. ”
Jin Yue is also playing the drum in his heart, no one likes to be in the dark, unless there is an unsightly secret.
"There's the bedroom in front." Luo Zhutou took the lead in the front, "It's really a road to the dark, I look at it and I am panicked, I don't know what that Master Wang likes about her?" ”
"I like people to be young and beautiful!" Jin Yue stepped into the bedroom, and suddenly covered her mouth and nose, only to feel a strange smell circulating in the room, which stimulated her to almost nause, and she didn't know why.
An Kangsheng went to open the window, and the dark room was bright, and the strange smell was slightly blown away by the wind. Only then did everyone see clearly that there were a lot of strange things hanging in the room, fluttering, yellow and clear, similar to the yellow charm in the temple.
"It's not just a road to the dark, it's like going to the Western Bliss." Jin Yue frowned, "What is this god Shinto trying to do?" ”
"Ordinary yellow charms, using cinnabar, but this ...... It's different, it's blood, and I don't smell like human blood. An Kangsheng explained.
Jin Yue looked around, "It's animal blood, and it tastes very different, but it's hanging in the bedroom, but it's the first time I've seen it, and I'm not afraid of taboos." ”
"I've searched for everything, but I didn't even see a figure." Luo Zhutou suddenly pressed his throat and asked suspiciously, "You say, could it be a mountain spirit monster or something?" ”
"Vixen?" Jin Yue asked in a low voice.
Luo Zhutou nodded.
"You two can go to open a teahouse and sing together." An Kangsheng's eyes swept over the two of them coldly, and he walked out of the bedroom without looking back, the smell in the room was a little heavy, how could a scholar stand this.
Jin Yue was not in a hurry, and told Shuangzhi and Mingzhu to look around.
The clothes in the wardrobe are all there, some are even brand new, they haven't been touched at all, Jin Yue put the clothes on the table, and compared the measurements, "The body is slender, it's really good!" ”
Looking at the frost branch and writing down the dimensions, Luo Zhutou stared at Jin Yue like a ghost, "It's the first time I've seen you solve the case like this." ”
"Isn't it a way for the sword to go sideways?!" Jin Yue smiled and opened the makeup in front of the dressing mirror, "It shouldn't be for money, this gold, silver and jade has never been moved, and even the seal on the hairpin box is not worn, which shows that it is not often opened, which means that she doesn't like these things!" ”
"How can a woman not love these things?" Luo Zhutou was puzzled, "This woman married Master Wang as a concubine at a young age, is it possible that he can be a father at a young age?" ”
Jin Yue pinched the fat powder box, "The same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, it's really hard to say!" ”
The feather eyelashes rose suddenly, Jin Yue sniffed twice, and felt that this fat powder box was a little weird, "Master An?" ”
An Kangsheng turned around and walked in the door, "What's wrong?" ”
"This fat powder doesn't taste right!" Jin Yue sniffed, "A little sassy?" ”
Luo Zhutou laughed, "Sao fox! ”
"Phew, I'm serious." Jin Yue handed over the fat powder box.
Not to mention, Ankang Sheng also smells of sass, like the smell of animal fur, it stands to reason that the fat powder of the daughter's house should be a variety of floral fragrances or other blended fragrances, I have never heard of it, there are sassy fat powders.
"I sniff!" Luo Zhutou frowned, and then stepped forward and took two sips, "Oops, it's really smelly?" ”
Shuangzhi shook his body, his face turned a little blue, "Young lady, is there really a goblin?" ”
Goblin?
Jin Yue shook her head, if there was really a goblin, it should be the male fox in the family, so she didn't believe in any ghosts at all, most of these things were used by the woman called "Hate Night" to fool Master Wang.
"Bring this back!" An Kangsheng handed the fat powder box to the official outside the door.
Jin Yue opened the drawer, and Luo Zhutou said, "I've checked, the drawers are all empty!" ”
Indeed, every drawer was empty, and when I reached out, it was clean, and there was not a trace of dust on my fingertips.
The traces of the entire bedroom were extremely light, as if they had been quietly erased, leaving nothing, the only thing left was the yellow talisman that filled the room, and the fat powder box with the smell of scorch.
"What the hell is this monster?" Luo Zhutou stood in the courtyard, the corridor was dark, and the house was also very weird, and he felt full of discomfort when he walked around here, let alone living here.
"Let's go back first." An Kangsheng walked out.
When I went out, there were many people outside the courtyard gate, all of whom were stopped by the officials, probably because they were curious. There are three familiar faces standing not far away, aren't they the three sons of the second room!
Return to the palace.
Su Lizhou was not there, saying that he was going out, and he sent someone to pass the word, saying that the autopsy had the results.
"It's hard to judge the cause of death, but ...... It could be drowning! "Said the truth.
The group of people were all dumbfounded, "Aren't all the bones broken?" ”
"I opened the body, and there was fluid in the lungs, and it was very swollen, but the marks on the cracks in the bones were caused by the time of death, and I couldn't tell the cause of death in comparison." It's quite difficult.
Jin Yue frowned, "You mean, drowning people in water and breaking all the bones before dying, or maybe in the process of breaking, Master Wang directly choked to death?" ”
"It's possible!" He nodded, "The time of the injury and drowning is very close, so it's hard to judge." Mr. Wang's fingernails and mouth and nose are very clean, which means that he should not have drowned in the river, otherwise there would definitely be mud and sand. ”
"Where will it die?" Luo Zhutou was simply sad, "Died in the water, but not in the river, but the body was found by the moat." This murderer is afraid that he is sick, and he has nothing to do to run around with the corpse on his back? No one has seen it yet. ”
An Kangsheng took a deep breath, "That means that the perpetrator either has an accomplice, or a carriage or cart or something like that, which can transfer the body." Otherwise, it wouldn't be so seamless. ”
At this point, the case is at an impasse.
"That's right!" He suddenly remembered something, "Master Wang should have a wrench in his hand, but now...... Gone! ”
The position of the thumb of the corpse has a blue and white position, which shows that something has been worn on his hand for many years, but after his death, this thing disappeared, which is a breakthrough.
"Let people go to Wang's house and ask what Master Wang's wrench looks like? Then let people check the pawnshop, inside and outside the city, every household has to go. "Ankang is extremely responsive.
Luo Zhutou nodded, "I'll go now." ”
There are so many clues right now, Jin Yue followed them and ran, it would be not too early, and it was time to go.
It's just that before returning to Fu's house, she still went to the hospital.
"Yo, your complexion is not very good, where is it uncomfortable?" Jin Fengnian was washing his hands.
Jin Yue didn't speak, and walked up to the second floor.
Sihai came over, "Doctor Jin, it's not right!" ”
"Nonsense, my daughter, can I not know that she is not quite right?" Jin Fengnian glanced at Frost Branch and Mingzhu, "What's the matter?" ”
Frost Branch shook her head, and the young lady didn't let her speak......
With a light sigh, Jin Fengnian went upstairs and entered the house, and when he closed the door, he heard someone's slightly choked voice behind him, "Dad, I got my sister's relics." ”
Jin Fengnian almost bit his tongue, and it took a while to find his voice, "Relic, relic? ”
"Hmm!" Jin Yue put the wolf tooth on the table, "Look, this is given by Mrs. Wang today, saying that my sister fell that day and was picked up by her." Today she mistook me for my sister, so she gave me the item. Because it was my sister's relic, I didn't refuse and brought it back. ”
Jin Fengnian sat down breathlessly, picked up the wolf teeth on the table with a slightly troubled expression, and his eyes flickered a little, "Who else has seen this thing?" ”
"Just Frost Branch and Mingzhu two of them." Jin Yue replied truthfully.
Jin Fengnian breathed a sigh of relief, "You must take care of this thing, don't take it out casually." ”
"Does it matter?" Jin Yue was shocked, "Isn't this just the teeth of a beast?" ”
"It's wolf fangs!" Jin Fengnian tightened the things in his hand, and it was rare to stare at her so seriously, "This is your sister's personal thing, I don't want to cause trouble in the Yanwang Mansion because of this." Dad doesn't want you to suffer because of your sister's affairs! ”
Jin Yue nodded again and again, "I think so too, so before I go back to the Fu family, give this thing to my father's palm." Dad, do you want me to ...... Do you want to tell Fu Jiuqing about this? ”
"He is your husband, so he should have a discussion." Jin Fengnian's face was gloomy, looking at the things in his palm, his eyes became darker and darker, "Dad is not always by your side, only he can protect you!" ”
"Then I'll listen to my father." Jin Yue retrieved the wolf tooth and carefully stuffed it into the small bag he carried with him.
"Huh!" Jin Fengnian suddenly grabbed her wrist, "Don't put it in your bag, hang it!" ”
Jin Yue blinked, "Hanging? ”
"After all, it's your sister's thing, and now that she's gone, you should keep it for her." Jin Fengnian took out the wolf tooth from her bag and hung it around her neck, "Keep it for good life, maybe one day your sister will manifest, and this thing can still be your talisman." ”
"Yes!" Jin Yue pursed her lips.
Hang it, hang it, although this wolf tooth is rough, but at first glance she feels quite familiar, and she likes it very much.
"Go back early." Jin Feng sighed young, "It's not too early." ”
"Yes!" Jin Yue got up to leave, and when she left, she glanced back at Jin Fengnian again, "Dad, is my sister very high in martial arts and has saved many people?" ”
Jin Fengnian looked at her with a complicated expression, and responded solemnly, "Yes!" ”
It has saved many people, including...... Saved him!
"I'll go first!" Jin Yue stepped out of the door and staggered downstairs.
Sent to the door of the medical hall, Jin Fengnian stood there for a long time and didn't come back to his senses, and the wolf tooth was actually found again...... Is this good or bad? may be destined to be unable to avoid those rights and wrongs.
"Doctor Jin, what are you sighing for?" Sihai smiled and asked, "The young lady is filial to you, she is a good person, and the Fu family treats her very well, what are you not satisfied with?" ”
Jin Fengnian shook his head, "You don't understand!" ”
When the moon is full, it loses, and when the water is full, it overflows.
Too much is not necessarily a good thing!
Regarding the appearance of "wolf teeth", Mingzhu naturally wanted to tell Fu Jiuqing.
There was a dead silence all around, only the night wind swept the lanterns under the eaves, and the light and shadow were dappled all over the place.
"Childe?" Junshan called low.
"Let's go down!" Fu Jiuqing finally opened his mouth.
If Mingzhu was released, he quickly saluted and retreated.
"The young lady should not know the use of wolf fangs." Jun Shan hurriedly said, "Childe doesn't have to worry for the time being. ”
Of course, Fu Jiuqing knows that she has forgotten everything now, and even if some things are in her hands, she doesn't know how to use them, but this is not very happy in her heart.
There are too many traces left in Kyoto City, one by one, like a tidal wave, gradually emerging, and sooner or later one day it will engulf her again. The killings in the past have become scars on his back, and he doesn't want that to happen again in his lifetime.
"Sooner or later, you'll know." Fu Jiuqing brushed his sleeves and walked out.
The shadow of the wind swayed, and the clothes were cold.
Jin Yue had eaten early, and after taking a bath, she sat honestly in front of the vanity mirror.
Fu Jiuqing was busy with the accounts before, and did not have dinner with her, but now that she came over, she was a little stunned. It's rare to be so well-behaved, and if you don't have any purpose, it's even better!
Fu ...... Messire! Jin Yue was wearing a middle coat, and her gaze moved with Fu Jiuqing.
The candlelight jumps, and the light goes out in the eyes.
Her eyes were bright, her smile was like a flower, and when she called him a husband, he couldn't resist it.
Sitting down with his sleeves unwavering, Fu Jiuqing turned his back to him, trying not to think about the person who had just finished bathing, and his face was still a little red after the heat. But the air was filled with a faint fragrance, like the fragrance of a hundred flowers, constantly rushing against his breath.
From the trachea to the lungs, it then merges into the blood and bones, and is sent to the heart.
Breathing the same air with the person you are connected to in your heart is probably such helpless, even your bones are full of the breath of the other party, there is no way to avoid it, and you have to pretend to be indifferent.
"Xianggong?" Jin Yue took off the hosta on her bun and walked slowly towards Fu Jiuqing.
Why doesn't this man speak today?
Didn't Mingzhu report to him what had happened?
Unlikely, Pearl is so loyal.
"Xianggong?" Jin Yue shouted again, pinching the wolf tooth she had just taken off in her palm, but she didn't get a response, which made her a little flustered, and she hesitated to tell him the truth?
"Say!" Fu Jiuqing poured himself a glass of water.
The knuckled hands, casually playing with the cup, the slightly cool fingertips gently stroked from the mouth of the cup, it seemed that there was no intention to drink water, purely to divert the gaze.
"I've got something today." She spread out her palm and handed it to him, "The wife of the Wang family gave it, saying that it was Jin Yue...... That is, my sister left behind. Dad said this thing belongs to me and let me stay with me, but I should also discuss it with you. ”
Fu Jiuqing raised her eyebrows to look at her, and her face was full of anticipation reflected in her dark pupils, "Your sister's things ......"
Seeing him reach out and take away the wolf tooth in his palm, Jin Yue's fingertips trembled slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to take it back, but after thinking about it, didn't she want to discuss it with him? Naturally, we had to let him see it first.
The wolf's tooth looked like it had been some years old, the sharp angles had been sharpened slightly, and the surroundings were getting smoother and smoother, and even the red rope that was tied to it had turned white, and the rope was about to break.
Jin Yue stared at his hand intently, watching her white fingertips gently rubbing the rope, as in the past, rubbing her jaw as softly, and felt a little strange in her heart, why is Fu Jiuqing a little different tonight?
"Your sister's things, naturally, you keep them for yourself!" He was like a trick, and there was an extra red rope in his palm.
I only heard a "click" sound, and the red rope earlier was cut on the spot by scissors, and the new red rope quickly passed through the small hole at the top of the wolf's teeth.
Jin Yue's eyes widened, looking at the white and slender hand, he was very skillful in knotting the red rope, and his movements were very fast, looking like he was doing this for the first time, "This red rope, you have already prepared it?" ”
The wind swept through the candle flame, and a candle suddenly exploded with a "pop". The cool chill spread instantly, startling the candle flame to sway from side to side, and the light and shadow in the room were dappled.
Jin Yue closed her mouth and shrank slightly, her back feeling slightly cold.
Fu Jiuqing glanced at her, his eyes were full of coldness, as if even the wolf tooth in his hand had become sharp, glowing with a wolf-like bloodthirsty intent, making people dare not approach easily.
"Come here!" His voice was cold.
Jin Yue took a step forward.
"Untie it!"
Fu Jiuqing's voice was low and hoarse, wrapped in a terrible chill, and the gloomy color in his pupils became thicker and thicker with the mottled light and shadow.
"Oh!" Jin Yue looked away and silently tore off the placket a little.
Fu Jiuqing looked at the pale ribbon around her neck, and the gloom in her eyes instantly dissipated a little, covered with a thin layer of scarlet, and even her breathing became slightly hot.
He pinched the red rope and hung his wolf teeth around her neck.
I don't know if he did it on purpose, the cold fingertips roamed unscrupulously on the back of her neck, he half-tilted his head, and his breathing sprayed between her ears and temples, from the initial cold, gradually turned warm.
With his unique breath, little by little it drilled into her ears. Itchy, which made her instantly get goosebumps, and because he was too close, she didn't dare to struggle too much.
"Okay, okay, okay?" She was half-hunched and her head bowed, naturally unable to see the change in the position of the back of her neck.
Of course, if she looked up at this time, she should be able to clearly see the fission in someone's eyes. From the cracks in the cold stones, beautiful flowers stretch out, meandering and thriving. Gorgeous, like a bright light.
"Right away!"
Fu Jiuqing's voice was still so cold, but the temperature of her fingertips seemed to rise slightly, passing between her neck, making her breathe slightly, and subconsciously grabbed his arm.
"Aren't you alright?" She was in a hurry.
Fu Jiuqing responded lightly, "Okay! ”
Jin Yue was relieved and immediately raised her head.
The next moment, her jaw was suddenly clamped, and her eyelashes suddenly rose, just crashing into those cold eyes, so shocked that she forgot to react for a while, and stared straight into the fox's eyes, as if she was captured.
"If you want it, keep it well, if you lose it......" He slowly approached her, with a clear threat in his words, and his voice was so cold and warm, "Yue'er knows, how will your husband punish you?" ”
Punish?
Jin Yue quickly pushed him away, hurriedly pulled up the placket and stood up, took two steps back, and tightly grasped the loose placket, "I, I won't lose it, this is my sister's relic." ”
Fu Jiuqing looked at her, his fingertips gently rubbed his temples, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked.
The candlelight is flickering, and the face of the demon is indistinguishable from the joy and anger.
