This sleep was a little restless, I felt cold all night, and I felt better when I curled up in a ball to sleep.

He sat up and let out a long yawn.

"Awake?"

When I heard this, I trembled with fright. Following the prestige, I saw a red figure sitting at the table with his back to me.

I'm a little surprised that he actually kept a watch here all night?! And still sit there honestly ?! Is he really the swinger in the eyes of the world?

For some reason, I gradually let down my guard against him, and even felt a little warmth in my heart. Maybe I wasn't wary of him at all, or I wouldn't have fallen asleep last night with a man in my room.

"You ......" wanted to say something to him, but he didn't know how to say it.

As I was hesitating, I heard a scream from the opposite room without warning, so terrible that I jumped straight from my bed to the floor.

Something happened! This is the only signal my brain sends to me.

The doctor's professional vigilance prompted me to throw on a casual garment and rush out the door, not wanting to be clutched by my wrist.

I turned around and saw Shen Fengyue shaking her head at me. I knew that whatever happened to the door had nothing to do with us, but I couldn't pretend that nothing had happened.

I shook his hand away. "Something must have happened to you, there are only two groups of us living in this inn, and it's difficult for us to avoid it even if we want to."

Shen Fengyue let go when she heard this.

I pushed the door open and stood in front of the opposite door and tapped it three times, and there was a dead silence in the room. I no longer hesitated, and directly pushed the door into the house, and Shen Fengyue followed me in the same steps.

As soon as I entered, there was nothing unusual in the room, and even the tables and chairs were neatly arranged, which made me feel a little relieved.

Walking further in, the bed curtain has not been lowered, but a man in a white bedrobe is lying sideways facing the wall, and the quilt is only up to his waist.

"Childe?" I tried to call, but I didn't get the slightest response, and I vaguely felt that something was strange. Glancing at Shen Fengyue beside him, his face was also a little solemn.

I took a few more steps forward with him, and I could faintly hear the sound of heavy breathing.

We looked at each other, and when we walked directly to the bed, we saw another person lying on the bed, and it was the woman.

She lay on her back, her face pale, her eyes a little glazed, her mouth slightly open, inhaling and exhaling heavily, and her waist was held in the crook of the arm by the man beside her. But the strange thing is that the two of them don't seem to notice the intrusion between me and Shen Fengyue at all.

I was puzzled and called out again: "Childe? At the same time, he looked at him.

Because the man was lying on his side, he had to see his side face. The side of his face was also pale. However, when I saw the man's color, my body could not help but stiffen, because I knew very well that such a pale complexion can only be found by the dead.

Shen Fengyue also saw the clue, and directly raised her hand to pull the man's arm around the woman's slender waist, but naturally she couldn't pull it at all, just because the arm had already stiffened like a stone.

My heart sank, and I called the woman in as soft a voice as possible: "Girl? Girl? ”

However, the woman did not react in the slightest, still looking up at the top of the bed, and if it weren't for her slightly open mouth panting, people would think that she was also a corpse.

The guy from the inn also came at this time, and when he saw this, his legs were weak, and he almost fell to his knees, but he still forced himself to withdraw and call someone......

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, even the official servants came a little late. Shen Fengyue and I stepped aside and watched the four officials go into battle at the same time, pulling the man's arm that trapped the woman firmly in his arms.

The woman finally had some reaction, looking sideways at the man's gray face, but she didn't overreact, just stunned.

The man had been dead for too long, and his body was so stiff that the four officials in the prime of life could not shake his arm at all and could not rescue the woman. But the woman didn't seem to care, just stared at the man's bloodless face stupidly.

I can't help but be moved by this situation, even if the man dies, he still can't let go of the woman, and the woman doesn't care about the man's captivity at all. Looking at her obsessive eyes, it seemed that she didn't want to leave his embrace that had long since lost its temperature......

The four officials tossed for a long time, but they couldn't rescue the woman. One of the officials gritted his teeth and pulled out his saber. I couldn't help but turn my head and couldn't bear to look at it.

"Wait." Shen Fengyue let out a low voice.

I was a little surprised, although he was always on the scene, he had always disapproved of my nosy behavior, but I didn't expect him to stop it at this time.

I looked at him, and his face was a little ugly, but he walked to the bedside and reached out again to pull the man's arm, but I didn't want to pull a little bit this time. The four officials were almost startled for a moment, and hurriedly helped, and actually broke the man's arm away.

Shen Fengyue stepped aside again, and the four of them all looked relieved, and they didn't hesitate to move the man's body.

The woman, who had not reacted from beginning to end, seemed to be crazy at this moment, hugged the man, and shouted that the official would not be allowed to take him away. Seeing this, one of the officials directly pulled the woman away and threw her aside.

The woman fell heavily to the ground, and I hurried to help her. Seeing the man's body being carried out, she tried to shake me off, but she couldn't succeed because of her weakness.

******

Someone died in the inn, and the shopkeeper and the guy couldn't hide from the government's questioning. And Shen Fengyue and I were the only guests in the inn except for the couple of men and women, so we were also invited to the official office.

The government tried the case separately, but the woman held my wrist from the moment I picked it up. But whenever I struggled at all, or when someone came up to her and tried to take her alone, she got up hysterical and didn't let anyone come near.

When the official saw her in this situation, he felt a little pity and stopped being tough, and took her and me to an interrogation room to be questioned together.

Before parting with Shen Fengyue, he quietly squeezed my arm. And I instantly understood what he meant: he didn't want me to tell the government about the three men we heard last night.

I actually agree with this, first, I don't want to cause more trouble; The second is that the man has died, and his sins have been taken away with the end of his life.

As early as when I saw the man's purple-colored lips, I concluded that the man had died of poisoning.

It was not a natural death, and everyone was suspected until the government determined that he committed suicide.

For me and the woman, the government chose to question me first.

The prefectural magistrate first asked me about the basics of why I stayed overnight again, and then began to ask about last night.

What I didn't expect was that the prefectural magistrate knew that the deceased had a verbal argument with the woman last night.

"According to the innkeeper, I could hear the men and women arguing upstairs before and after the ugly hour last night, but I couldn't hear the content of the dispute. You should be able to hear clearly when you dwell opposite the two of them. The tone of the county order was flat and a little majestic.

I know very well that if I deny that I am asleep at this time, I will be suspicious if I don't hear anything. After all, even the guy on night duty in the lobby heard the noise, and it was impossible for him and I to go door to door without noticing it. So he could only avoid the serious, saying that he slept in a daze, concealed the brother-sister relationship between the two of them and the man's life, and told the county magistrate the irrelevant content, saying that he thought they were just ordinary husband and wife feuds and didn't care.

I'm calm on my face, but I'm drumming in my heart. Shen Fengyue and I have rarely had the opportunity to communicate since the official mission appeared, and we have no time to confess. In the process of inquiry, they did not have the opportunity to unify their voices when they said or not, so they felt faintly uneasy, fearing that if there was a discrepancy with what he said, they would be involved. I don't even know if Shen Fengyue's inquiry is over.

However, looking at the expression of the county magistrate, he didn't seem to doubt my words.

The woman hung her head the whole time I was questioned, as if she was completely immersed in her own world, except for her hand still gripping my wrist tightly, as if she were grasping at a life-saving straw.

Thinking that he couldn't ask for any more useful information from me, the prefectural order turned to the woman.

I thought she was in a trance and wouldn't listen to the prefectural order's inquiries, but I didn't want her to answer all the questions, and even the brother-sister relationship that I deliberately hid for them was unabashedly true, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Based on the woman's answer, plus what I heard last night, I got a little bit of an idea about the siblings:

The brother and sister's surname is Yin, a tide man. The tide is north of Biyun where we are, and it's a small town. The Yin family is not a wealthy family, but because the four generations in a row are all talents, they are quite respected in the town.

The elder brother's name is Yin Jingjie, the only son of the Yin family, he has read the scriptures since he was a child, he is kind and charitable, his temperament is famous for his gentleness, and because of his good looks, he has attracted many girls to fall in love with him, but he has never been married. Yin Jingjie was eighteen years old and became a scholar, but on the grounds that he wanted to serve his parents, he politely refused the official position granted by the emperor and stayed in his hometown Chaoshui to become a teacher.

The younger sister's name is Yin Zhiqiu, five years younger than her brother, and she has promised three families in succession since she was fifteen years old, but her fiancé died unexpectedly every time she was close to marriage, so although she is now over 20 years old, she is still in the boudoir.

Remembering that last night Yin Zhiqiu persuaded her brother to return to her hometown and turn herself in, I thought she would confess Yin Jingjie's crimes, but I didn't want her to say a word, but instead told the county magistrate about the deviant love between the two without hesitation.

What surprised me even more was that she lied that Yin Jingjie had no intention of being male or female towards her, it was her own wishful thinking, and she also deceived Yin Jingjie to Biyun, trying to force him to fly with her. said that Yin Jingjie refused, and she was ashamed and angry, so she moved to kill him, wanting to keep him in such an extreme way......

Yin Zhiqiu's face was full of madness when he told all this. No matter how many cases have been solved, the official has never seen such a crazy woman, and she has been in a trance since the early morning, and the brother-sister freak is also terrifying enough. So not long after the official sent the situation back to the county order, the county order made a decision: Yin Nu was obsessed with her brother, she couldn't ask for it, she lost her heart and went crazy, and killed people's lives. Thinking that he was delirious, he was lightly judged, with thirty rods, and driven out of Biyun City......
