The murderer kills people, but the purpose is only for the buns in the hands of the deceased. Could it be that this murderer is a monster who likes to eat steamed buns?

Since the murderer's purpose was the bun in the deceased's hand, he could have snatched the bun and left, and he couldn't commit murder at all. Even if he has a big temper and thinks it is more interesting to grab a bun and kill people by the way, then why only take a piece of skin from the deceased's chest. Could it be that this ancient monster is also similar to some modern serial killers, and every time they finish a crime, they have to leave a mark on the deceased?

This case is strange, but it is somewhat unreasonable.

Xing Ruyi's brows tightened, and the fox frowned.

"What is Madame bothering about?"

"What is the reason why the murderer chose these people as targets, who were of different ages and engaged in different professions, and who did not seem to have any communication with each other...... Could it be really random? ”

"What does Madame seem to have overlooked?"

"What was overlooked?" Xing Ruyi looked at the fox.

"Well, a very important thing, and the only thing these dead people have in common."

"Buns!" Xing Ruyi's eyes lit up: "Before these deceased died, they all went to Yingniang's bun shop to buy steamed buns. ”

"Madame, so amazing!"

"Go!" Xing Ruyi glanced at the fox: "That Yingniang is indeed a little weird. Remember the coffin? In order to support him, his mother often gouged some copper coins in the cemetery and took them to Yingniang's shop to buy steamed buns for him to eat. I have seen those copper coins with my own eyes, and each copper coin is stained with yellow mud, and it is not a serious way to come from at first glance. But Yingniang didn't seem to care about the origin of those copper coins at all. Also, in order to cover up the dead man's anger on her body, the coffin mother dressed very strangely, if it was an ordinary person, she would definitely look at it twice, but Yingniang didn't care at all. ”

"Perhaps, this Yingniang is a strange person, and she also knows some ghost and god techniques, and she has long seen that the coffin is a ghost and not a human."

"You're right. The coffin mother also told me so, she said that Yingniang had known her identity for a long time, but it was exactly the same reaction as when I saw her, and even she felt that this Yingniang was not an ordinary person.

But I, no matter how I looked, I couldn't tell what was unusual about this tassel girl. If it weren't for her strong spells, she would be good at hiding. ”

"No matter how good you are at hiding, there will still be mistakes."

The fox said, pointing to the front left. Xing Ruyi noticed that the fox had slipped away with her outside the county office. I don't know what kind of excitement there is to see in this county office, but there are a lot of people gathered, and the tassel girl in plain clothes and with a cloak is standing in the crowd, the place that the fox is pointing to.

"What are they looking at?"

"Trial!"

"Trial? What kind of case is being heard? ”

"Trial of last night's case."

"Last night?" Xing Ruyi thought of the corpse lying in the morgue, raised his hand and pointed to his nose: "You mean to say that the county master of this county government wants to interrogate you and me in the lobby?" ”

The fox nodded, with a smile on his face: "It's not you and me, it's you." You forget, you are a murderer, and the husband who fights is a witness. ”

"But I obviously didn't kill anyone!"

"You know, I know, and the person who deliberately brought the husband here also knows, but the lord in the yamen doesn't know, and these people who are watching the excitement don't know."

"In this way, I'm also unlucky enough, I don't know if the county master here is Qingming or confused. If you are confused, I am afraid that I will become the next person on this Yang family set to die in vain. ”

"It's not confused, let's see it and we'll know." The fox said, and dragged Xing Ruyi into his arms.

The stealth technique used by the fox, the closer it is to him, the safer it is. Especially when Yingniang's eyes turned to herself, she didn't need the fox to do it, and Xing Ruyi pasted it by herself.

In the lobby, the fake Xing Ruyi was really brought up. The county lord dozed off, slapped a startled wood on his stomach, and asked in a raised voice: "The person who kneels, are you willing to confess?" ”

The fake punishment Ruyi kept his head down, until the fox flicked over, and then he spoke: "The concubine is not guilty, how can she confess?" ”

"What a clever tongue, there are all human and material evidence, how can you deny it."

The county lord waved lazily, and Liu Sheng, who was standing on the side, walked out and said to the officer: "Bring the witness husband up, and also, bring the buns we found." ”

"Buns? What buns? Xing Ruyi heard the key nature, hooked the fox arm and asked, "Could it be the deceased's lost bun?" ”

The fox patted Ruyi's hand and motioned for her not to be in a hurry and to keep looking. Xing Ruyi had no choice but to endure the curiosity in his heart and continue to look at the court.

The first to be brought up was the husband, who knelt on the ground tremblingly, and when Yanagi asked, he answered.

"You said you followed the woman to the inn, and she never came out again after she entered the inn, right?"

"Back to the master, yes. It was the little one who watched the woman walk into the inn with his own eyes, and the little one was afraid that the woman would come out to commit murder again, so he kept guard at the door of the inn for a long time, until he confirmed that the woman would not come out, and then hurriedly found someone to come and arrest her. ”

"During the whole process, have you ever seen the woman's face? Is she the one who kneels in the hall? ”

The husband looked up and looked at Xing Ruyi. He hesitated for a moment before replying.

"Above the court, the little ones dare not deceive. Because when the woman committed the murder, it was still dark, so the little one didn't see her appearance clearly, but the little one followed the woman all the way to the inn, and before looking for someone to arrest her, he also asked the little two in the store, and confirmed that in the past few days, she was the only one staying in the inn. If this murder suspect is not the woman who kneels in the hall, who can it be? Master Mingjian, what the little one said, every sentence is true. ”

"You haven't seen the woman's appearance clearly, you should recognize the woman's back, right?"

In the public court, the fake Xing Ruyi suddenly turned around and asked the husband.

The husband looked up at Liu Sheng, and then lowered his head and replied: "If you go back to the master, the little one will follow the woman all the way, and her back will be able to distinguish seven or eight points." ”

"My lord, Yanagi begs that the suspect be allowed to stand up so that the husband can identify whether his back is the one who committed the murder last night?"

Above the public court, the tall old man dozed off with his cheeks in his hands, and then said with his eyes half-open: "The suspect stands up!" ”

The fake Xing Ruyi didn't say anything, but stood up directly and walked in front of the husband. The husband raised his head and looked carefully at Xing Ruyi's back, and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't say a word.

"Well, maybe it's her?"

"This ......" The husband lowered his head and pinched the corners of his clothes: "If you go back to the master, the back of the woman I saw last night is very slender, and it is very the same as the back of the girl in the hall today." ”

"Don't say such ambiguous words, I just ask you, is the back you saw last night the same person as the person you saw in the hall today?"

"Small...... Small ones can't be sure! ”

"Not sure? You were the only witness to last night's murder, in court, but you told me, you can't be sure? ”

"No...... No, no, no! Small doesn't mean that. Master Mingjian, the sky at that time, and the murderous woman was walking with her head down, and she was wearing a wide cloak on her body, although the small one knew the back, but the back was a little different from today's, just this dress, it was a little different. ”

"Lord Liu, the concubine has an idea here, but I don't know if Lord Liu is willing to adopt it."

The fake Xing Ruyi spoke again, and Yanagi hesitated for a moment and stood next to her.

After a while, several officials arrived in the crowd, looked for a few girls, and brought them to the back hall without saying anything, and one of them was the Yingniang who was standing in front of the hall to watch the excitement.

This sudden change made many onlookers start to talk again, until Lin Hu led the two officials out, and the discussion became quieter.

Xing Ruyi stabbed the fox with his elbow and whispered, "You asked the stand-in to say those words just now, right?" It's just, what are you asking Yanagi to do with all those girls in the back hall? ”

"It's a bit boring."

The fox replied to the question, provoked Xing Ruyi to pinch him lightly in private.

The fake Xing Ruyi was also taken down, but then it was replaced by a row of girls wearing various colored cloaks, with their faces facing the court, their backs facing the person who was kneeling under the court, and his heart was going up and down, not knowing what he would do.

Liu Sheng first called up the husband and let him stand outside the court, and then pointed to the row of girls and said, "Take a closer look, are there any familiar ones in these backs?"

The husband opened his eyes wide, looked hard, saw that his eyes were sour, reached out and rubbed them a few times, and then made up his mind, pointing his finger at the back of one of the girls: "That like, that back is more like." ”

Yanagi nodded, walked behind the girl that the husband was pointing to, and said, "Please turn around!" ”

The people outside the hall who watched the excitement all held their breath, and even Xing Ruyi himself became nervous. Only the fox, half-squinting at the fox eyes, looked thoughtfully at the girl who was gradually turning around.

The girl, with her head half-bowed, turned around, and then raised her head to look at Yanagi.

Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the girl who turned around was actually Yingniang.

Liu Sheng waved his hand silently, and the officials took the rest of the girls down, leaving only Yingniang and the fake Xingruyi in the hall. The scene seemed a little awkward.

Yingniang smiled slightly, looked at Liu Sheng and said, "What kind of game is Lord Liu doing, but he left Yingniang in this court." Could it be that Lord Liu suspects that the murders on the Yang family set were all done by Yingniang? ”

Yanagi was suffocated, not knowing what to say.

The husband was also panicked, he first looked at Yingniang, then looked at the fake Xing Ruyi, and was about to open his mouth to explain, when he suddenly heard Yingniang say: "That's right, the murder on the Yang family set was indeed done by Yingniang, and it has nothing to do with this Ruyi lady." ”
