Zhen Bei carefully examined the scene of the crime from top to bottom, and when she moved away from the wooden chair that had fallen to the ground next to the deceased, her eyes froze.

A pink woman embroidered with a mandarin duck pattern is lying quietly under a wooden chair.

She gently twisted the veil, and found it crumpled, as if it had been washed and crumpled before it could be dried.

At the same time, a strange fragrance faintly entered the nose, and I couldn't help frowning slightly, this fragrance seemed to have smelled somewhere!

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and a yellow Miaoman figure broke into her mind, it was her!

Zhen Bei handed the handkerchief to the handkerchief: "Please check it, there is poison in this handkerchief Liu!" ”

It didn't take long for her to get the answer she expected.

After the woman in yellow was brought to the scene of the crime, she did not appear panicked except that her face was slightly pale!

When Zhenbei brought the veil to her, she frowned.

"This girl, I wonder if you know this handkerchief?"

The woman in yellow received it in her hand with a calm expression, smiled slightly, and said, "Childe, this handkerchief was accidentally lost by the little woman when she went out yesterday." I don't know where Childe picked it up, thank you so much! ”

"Oh? It turns out that it is really a girl's thing? Zhen Bei stared into her eyes and said, "Isn't the girl curious why I knew that this veil was your belongings?" Will they call you here again to return the veil? ”

The woman in yellow shook her head lightly and said with a light smile: "Since the prince appeared here, let all the officials and adults think that you are the head of the horse, of course, you are an extraordinary person with a careful mind, how can we ordinary people speculate?" ”

She spoke so smoothly that Zhenbei's curiosity was aroused.

She decided not to play dumb riddles anymore, and simply cut into the whole, pointing to the shopkeeper Liu who was moved to Baijuan, and said, "Does the girl know who he is?" ”

The woman in yellow glanced at the corpse, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and she sighed and said, "I heard that the shopkeeper here is dead, is this his corpse?" The little woman has a bad memory, although she has seen this shopkeeper a few times, but she can't remember his appearance! ”

"Does the girl know why he died?" Zhenbei looked her anomaly in the eye and asked.

"I just heard the tenants talking about it, and the little woman also heard some news, well, looking at his death, it should be as they said, he died of poisoning!" The woman in yellow said with a sigh of infinite emotion.

"The girl Bingxue is smart, but the shopkeeper Liu was poisoned and died, and the poison in it is on the girl's veil!" Zhen Bei said word by word.

"That's what happened!" The woman in yellow seemed to be completely stunned, she looked down at the veil and said in disbelief, "Did he put this veil in his mouth......"

Before she finished speaking, she quickly stopped, revealing a shocked look.

"The poison on this veil, but you put it on?" Zhen Bei's face sank and she shouted coldly.

The woman in yellow nodded and shook her head: "The little woman likes to grind incense, but in order to make a new spice, she added some other things to this veil used to test incense!" ”

Seeing that she said lightly, there was no guilt at all, as if the murder in front of her was not because of her.

The shopkeeper who was standing on the side couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted excitedly: "Girl, do you know that someone lost their lives because of something you did unintentionally?" Since this veil was contaminated with poison and it was found that it was lost, why didn't you tell the story in time? Let everyone help find this veil that hides trouble earlier, and let the people who pick up the veil be extra careful! ”

In the face of his accusation, the woman in yellow sneered: "The little woman has lost her personal belongings, and she is still preaching it everywhere, will she want to be embarrassed in the future?" Besides, there are no ignorant children here, and how could this girl have expected that someone would be so brazen as to pick up a woman's things, and instead of destroying them as a sign of respect, she put them in her mouth and sucked them repeatedly—"

What she said is true, if a woman's personal belongings are lost among the people, no matter whether they are expensive or cheap, most of them are looking for them in secret, and they can't be hyped up and told people.

And if a righteous gentleman picks up a woman's things, he will either wrap them in other clean things to show that he has not directly touched the insult, and privately hand them over to the other party; Or, avoid the eyes and ears and destroy it directly, saving the other party from causing reputation damage!

Acts like Shopkeeper Liu's are really despicable, and they are extremely bad!

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded by her, and his face was blue, white, and red, which was extremely exciting.

"I don't know if there are any other things to do with the prince and the officials?" The woman in yellow smiled slightly and looked at everyone, "Could it be that you will arrest the little woman for such an unintentional move, right?" If this is the case, will the people who make knives and sell medicines also have to kill all of them to prevent future troubles? ”

In the laws of Nanyang Kingdom, there is no law that has provisions in this regard.

Master Guo saw that her eyes fell on her, and looked at Zhenbei in embarrassment.

What the girl said is true, but there are still some places in this case, which have not been clarified. As the holder of the physical evidence in this case, but before the case is closed, the girl is also asked to stay in the inn temporarily. Zhen Bei said.

The woman in yellow was slightly stunned, and then chuckled: "Okay." As long as you don't have to delay, this girl can participate in the carving competition! ”

After seeing her leave, Zhen Bei frowned and fell into deep thought.

The shopkeeper was allowed to go to the deceased's only daughter and pass on the bad news, while busy with the funeral of the shopkeeper.

And because the carving contest was about to begin, there was no other place to stay in the town, and the other customers of the shop did not choose to leave because of the dead and the shopkeeper's lack of time.

So, in this Jufu Inn, there was a very incredible scene.

The tenants boiled their own water, and some people, even made new friends in the process, and simply put together a table to talk and laugh.

After learning the cause of Liu's shopkeeper's death, everyone invariably put away their pity, and even some people secretly spit on it when they mentioned it in private.

Unlike them, the guys in the store are in a much more complicated mood, although they usually have a lot of nostalgia for their pleasant shopkeeper, but when they think that behind his back, he is such a dirty person, they faintly have a little disgust, and even a chill.

No matter what they thought in their hearts, the chain of rituals buried by the shopkeeper continued, and they had to run around with fatigue on their faces.

Because the woman in charge of Liu had just given birth and had not yet been confined, her husband was worried that she would be overwhelmed after learning about it, so he suppressed the matter and came here alone to mourn.

On the day of the funeral, to the unbridled laughter of the tenants, the group carried the undignified coffin and walked out of the city.

Zhen Bei stood in front of the window on the second floor, watching the honor guard go away and disappear at the end of the road.

Nangong Ke and Princess Keya were repeatedly begged by the county lord to live in the county office, but she insisted on staying in the inn.

Because of this case, they stayed in this small city for an extra day.

Zhenbei looked at the gray sky and sighed deeply, everything was over, and they would leave here tomorrow.

It's just that before that, there are some things that need to be clarified!

Thinking of this, she walked towards the door, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw the yellow figure standing in front of the corridor window.

"How? What does it feel like to get revenge? Zhenbei walked up to her and whispered.

The shadow flickered slightly, turned its head, and looked at her in shock, with panic in its eyes.

Soon the woman in yellow came to her senses, opened her eyes, and reluctantly smiled: "Gu Gongzi, what do you mean by this?" ”

"It's a small place, but it's also a lot of people, and it is said that a hundred years ago, the person in charge of carving the jade seal for the royal family, the ingenious Master He, was born in this town! It is precisely because of this that people in the vicinity of this town have become obsessed with the art of carving. They regard themselves as the descendants of Master He, and only look forward to the day when they can become the holy hand of the royal family like Master He, carry it in the annals of history, and glorify their ancestors! Zhen Bei didn't answer her question, but changed the topic and said, "I heard that this carving contest is only held once every four years, but is it true?" ”

The woman in yellow was stunned, nodded and said, "What Gu Gongzi said is true. Although it is not far from the prosperous Wucheng, the land is barren, and there is no landscape to rely on, which is completely different from the rich life of the people there, and lives a completely different life! Yes, since the emergence of Master He, a powerful character, everyone has finally rekindled their fighting spirit! Becoming a top engraver has become almost every young man's dream! And this carving contest is undoubtedly the easiest way to let the world notice yourself! ”

When she said these words, she kept her head down, and her expression was gloomy.

Zhenbei looked away from her and looked out the window.

After a long time, he suddenly said: "I don't know what kind of girl the girl was that Miss Feng who died four years ago?" ”

The woman in yellow turned her head sharply, looked at her, and muttered, "You, what did you say?" ”

Zhen Bei turned her face sideways, looked directly into her eyes, and said slowly: "Master Guo once said that on the day of the carving competition four years ago, there was a young lady surnamed Feng who was ** and chose to commit suicide in the inn where she lived!" ”

The woman in yellow looked at her blankly, suddenly laughed a few times, looked at her with disdain, and said, "Gu Gongzi really likes to laugh, so what does Miss Feng have to do with me?" Could it be that you can't find evidence to cure my crime, and you want to make something out of nothing, and insist on charging a little woman with a false crime? ”

Zhen Bei smiled faintly and said, "Before I answer your question, I also ask the girl to answer the next question first-where is the purse you wore on your waist when we first met the girl that night?" ”

A look of panic flashed on the face of the woman in yellow, but she barely managed to stabilize her mind and sneered: "I have been wearing that sachet for too long, and I have been tired of it, so I threw it away!" Childe asked what this was about? ”

Zhen Bei looked at her and smiled, and said, "Girl, do you know that our Master Guo here loves to draw portraits. Just last night, when I went down to the official office for a banquet, he drank a few more glasses, and then took me to see the lifelike portraits he painted, one of which was the scene of the death of Miss Feng who committed suicide that year. It can be said that the memory is still fresh below, and the purse next to Miss Feng is exactly the same as the one worn by the girl! ”
