Since the carriage of the Hua family is here, when they go back, everyone is happy not to have to walk. The county government didn't give many clothes and shoes to the officials, and the clothes were forgotten, but they ran the case over the mountains and mountains to pay for shoes. Of course, Xu County's order can't be counted on.

"This face is raw, it shouldn't be from our Baoying County." Hu Yuhou said: "Who deliberately came here to throw the corpse after killing someone? It's not a little off the beaten track either. ”

"I'm afraid I didn't just leave it here. There was a very narrow bend in that place, maybe the corpse had accidentally rolled down from the horse or carriage, and the slope was so steep that it could not be pulled up without tools, so it was left there. Hua Qizuo added cautiously: "I'm just assuming, don't record, don't record." It had rained, and there was no evidence of the body rolling down. ”

Liao Shuren shook his head and sighed: "Yesterday one committed suicide, today he killed another, it's really not peaceful recently." Go back and let Qian Xunshu make a divination. ”

"Cut ......!" Hua Qizuo and Hu Yuhou both smiled and said: "Qian Xunshu's hexagram can be spiritual, and sows can go up the tree!" He is just able to get the county order. ”

Hua Qiao and Xu Zhijin, who were sitting in the front, remembered Qian Xunshu's appearance of pretending to be a ghost, and they also laughed.

Hua Qiao was thinking: Who is the one who died? What does it have to do with Miss Guo? They are all poisoned by mercury, and mercury is not everywhere. If the two are connected...... Could the earrings hanging on the man's belt be Guo Qingchen's?

"What are you thinking? It's time to enter town. Xu Zhijin saw that Hua Qiao had been distracted, and asked her in a low voice. Hua Qiao turned her face to look at Xu Zhijin, her eyes were bright, and there was a playful smile on the corner of her mouth.

Xu Zhijin had a "buzz" in his head, as if he had been struck by lightning. Just as his heart was beating faster, he only heard Hua Qiao ask in a low voice: "Third Brother Xu, can you do me a favor?" ”

Xu Zhijin hurriedly straightened his chest and said, "You say, I will definitely do it." ”

Hua Qiao's index finger was raised to his lips and made a silent motion, and then pointed to the carriage, and whispered: "My father is behind, and we have dinner in the evening, let's meet in the private school." ”

Although Xu Zhijin has been away from the private school for two years, he still often goes back to the private school, sometimes to consult Mr. Wu about his schoolwork, and sometimes to help Mr. Wu feed the horses, chop wood, and do some small work. This is what sets him apart from other rich kids, and it is also the reason why Mr. Wu has always liked him very much.

Xu Zhijin nodded happily, shook the reins, and the carriage quickly entered the county seat.

After hurriedly picking up two mouthfuls of food, Xu Zhijin slipped away to the private school, turned around the east chamber, and didn't see Mr. Wu, so he sat in the school and waited for the buckwheat. After a while, Hua Qiao leaned on the door frame, poked out half of her head, and asked with a smile: "Third Brother Xu, why don't you see Mr. Wu?" ”

"I didn't see him when I came, maybe he went out." Xu Zhijin stood up with a smile and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?" ”

"This is not for you," Hua Qiao held up a food box and said with a smile: "This is what my aunt asked me to give to Mr. Wu." ”

As soon as Hua Qiao's voice fell, Mr. Wu came out of nowhere, stood behind Hua Qiao and asked, "What are you two talking about, one inside the door and the other outside the door?" ”

Hua Qiao hurriedly stuffed the food box into Mr. Wu's hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. is really elusive." This is the dumplings that my aunt made, let me send them to you to taste. ”

"I ...... It's passing by, come in and see Mr. ......" Xu Zhijin's face was a little red. For so many years, he didn't change his blushing when he lied, Hua Qiao smiled secretly.

"I've seen it, then I'll go back to the room, and you can continue to talk." Mr. Wu glanced at Xu Zhijin meaningfully again, and said with a smile: "Next time, bring your newly written policy thesis, don't you have an excuse?" ”

"Okay......" Xu Zhijin replied without thinking about it. I looked down and thought about it, and I had to explain it again, and when I looked up again, the gentleman had already left with the dumplings.

"You, you can't do bad things." Hua Qiao grinned, came in and sat on the seat next to Xu Zhijin, and took out a paper bag from his arms and handed it to Xu Zhijin: "Today you invited me to eat jade siu mai, I will invite you to eat scallion pancakes." My mother's brand is better than what Ma Da Niang sells on the street. ”

Xu Zhijin took it, "hehe" laughed twice, and really opened it to eat, he was in a hurry just now, and his dinner was not delicious. He asked Hua Qiao: "What did you say you wanted me to do today?" ”

"A very important thing!" Hua Qiao hooked his finger at Xu Zhijin, and Xu Zhijin hurriedly moved his head closer to Hua Qiao.

The people on the roof were immediately dissatisfied: what stinks? To put it mildly, it has to be so close. Although Hua Qiao's voice was small, the words he said still entered his ears word for word.

"I quietly went to give Miss Guo an autopsy, she didn't commit suicide, I suspect it...... Her death is related to the male corpse we found today! ”

Hua Qiao spoke closely, and exhaled so much that Xu Zhijin's ears were itchy, he was thinking about it, and when he heard Hua Qiao's words clearly, he couldn't feel the itch, he only dropped his chin and stammered: "You...... Give it to her...... You're picking up someone's coffin again? ”

"Shh......h Be quiet," Hua Qiao hurriedly said: "The autopsy, except for my father, you know." ”

The man in the black roof snorted from his nose in disagreement.

"The time of death of both of them is basically the same, both three days ago, and both died of mercury poisoning. So, Third Brother Xu, I want you to help me check, who can get mercury in the county? Hua Qiao said seriously.

"Mercury comes from cinnabar, and warlocks refine it. There are only two warlocks in our county, one is the money training technique of the county government, and the other is the 'almost' who tells people fortunes on the East Street. Xu Zhijin didn't have to think about it, and blurted out.

Hua Qiao shook his head and said: "Not only that, mercury can be used in medicine, mainly to kill insects and attack poisons, so there will also be it in the pharmacy." The amount of mercury poured into the corpse must not be too small, otherwise it will not die immediately. ”

Xu Zhijin now knows why Hua Qiao asked him to do this. There are a total of four pharmacies in Baoying County, three of which are the property of their Xu family. Hua Qiao asked Xu Zhijin for help, he could check from the inside, and it would be easier to get the truth.

"Good! Whether it's a warlock or an apothecary, I'll look it up. Xu Zhijin is also a fan of solving crimes, and has collected a bunch of "Di Gong Case" and "Bao Gong Case", dreaming that one day he can become such a blue sky master.

"I knew I was right to look for you." Hua Qiao smiled and stood up from her seat: "I have to go back quickly, A-Niang will be looking for me in a while." There is another clue, however, it may be necessary to check in Miss Guo's boudoir, which is really difficult...... I'll come back to you. After speaking, Hua Qiao waved his hand at Xu Zhijin and ran away.

I hope that when you have something, the first person who comes to mind is me. Xu Zhijin looked at the back of the buckwheat and thought to himself.

Of course, the Xuanyi man on the roof couldn't hear Xu Zhijin's heart, and he didn't know when he left, and he didn't even hear a little movement.
