"Your Excellency, you mean, another dancing girl died?"

"If you don't believe it, you can send someone to the post station to take a look, that girl is also fatal, the murder weapon is no different from the one who killed Jiang Zhong, no accident The murderer is actually one person."

Xia Guan was just shocked, not unconvinced. So I filmed a few people going to the post house to inspect the corpse, so as not to stain the eyes of adults. Nian Zhongjun hurriedly smiled, "Then, in this way, does it prove that the murderer is someone else, and the Yi girl who is locked up in the prison is innocent." ”

Chu Nian paid attention to our conversation, I pretended to think about it and glanced at him, he just gave me a look, and continued to work.

"Let's let it go first, inform Steward Liu of Yunjiaofang, before everything comes out, always pay attention to Yi Qinghuan's movements, and don't leave Licheng for the time being." Although Yi Qinghuan ruled out the suspicion for the time being, I felt that it was very wrong for her to hide that person.

"Xiaguan will arrange it."

Taking advantage of the fact that Nian Zhongjun was temporarily unable to clone, I came to Chu Nian's side to report Su Qian's situation, looked at the letters in their hands and asked curiously, "Where did you find these?" ”

Tang Li handed me a few letters in his hand and a delicate sachet together, "There is a secret compartment under Su Qian's bookcase. ”

"Darkness again? How do love letters make them like secret reports! "I'll take it over and take a closer look, it's you and me feeding dog food to others." This is the same as the letter in Yi Qinghuan's room, what's wrong with this letter? ”

Smelled the sachet, it tasted the same as Yi Qinghuan's sachet.

Chu Nian shook his head, "No, I just think that Yi Qinghuan in the later period expressed himself too bluntly in the letter, not as tactful as the previous letters." ”

"I heard yesterday that Yi Qinghuan was sent to Danzhou, and after she came back, everyone said that she had changed a lot, could it be that she received any stimulation in Danzhou? In addition, Jiang Qingping and others exerted pressure in Yunjiaofang, which made her gradually develop a negative psychology, so the words in the letter were too straightforward. ”

Chu Nian listened thoughtfully, and said lightly: "Maybe." ”

Over there, Nian Zhongjun brought a little guy over, and the little guy seemed to recognize Tang Li, looked at him politely, and hugged his fist to me and saluted, "Little Su He, I've seen an adult." ”

Su He is a child who looks very gentle, and he has seen the world by Su Qian's side, so he has no stage fright in the face of us.

"I heard Lord Nian say that you accompany Master Su on weekdays, when did you find out that something was wrong today?"

"Back to my lord, my family must get up at the end of the day to freshen up, even if it is a rest. Today, the little one somehow overslept very hard, and hurriedly went to the door of my adult's room to wait, and found that he had not come out and the door was cumbersome. After shouting for a long time, no one answered, so he had to call others to break down the door together, but he didn't want to ......" Speaking of this, his eyes turned red.

"Do you know who he saw yesterday? Or is there an emotional abnormality? ”

Su He shook his head at first, and then seemed to think of something, "I haven't seen anyone in my family, but I went out alone yesterday after visiting the adults, and I only came home at the end of the year, looking very tired." ”

"Hey? In this way, Master Su had an accident after the time. ”

Su He nodded.

"Can your lord tell you where he went?"

Su He thought for a while before saying, "The little one asked, the adult didn't seem to be in a good mood, and he gave a bag of chestnut cake specially given to Miss Yi's favorite to give it to the little one." My adults are usually very precious chestnut cakes, and they are never willing to give them to anyone, but yesterday they were rewarded with smaller ones, and they looked at the chestnut cakes in a daze for a long time after washing. Not only that, but he would read a book and rest at night, but after the little one left yesterday, the lights went out in my family. If there is an abnormality, that's all there is to it. ”

Saying that, Su He also took us to the bookshelf, and opened a secret compartment from the side, in which a bag of unopened chestnut cake was stored. It's just that although it is opened, the outer packaging has been ravaged and messed up.

I took it from Su He's hand, opened it and looked at the chestnut cake that had become scum inside, and asked Su He uncertainly, "This is it?" ”

Su He also looked puzzled, "This, it was fine yesterday, why did it become like this?" ”

Although it became slag, it smelled good.

Chu Nian didn't like the taste of chestnut cake very much, took a step back behind me, and whispered beside me, "If I remember well, chestnut cake is abundant in Danzhou." ”

Danzhou? Isn't that Yi Qinghuan's hometown? What did Su Qian do in Danzhou?

Over there, Nian Zhongjun was also puzzled and said: "Xiaguan remembers that this chestnut cake is a specialty of Danzhou, Lord Su is really interested in this Yi girl, and he smiled for the beauty, and actually traveled thousands of miles back and forth, just to buy chestnut cake?" ”

"Nian, how far is Danzhou from here?"

Nian Zhongjun thought for a while, "Xia Guan passed through Danzhou when he came to Licheng to take office, if he bought a good horse with a faster foot, he could go back and forth in less than a day." ”

I looked at the chestnut cake that was broken into slag, and thought of Chu Nian's reminder, and looked at Tang Li, "Tang Li, go and check Su Qian's footprints yesterday, the finer the better." ”

Tang Li naturally understood what I meant, and went out after receiving the order.

At this time, Zhao Zhutou came over and reported: "My lord, Wang Chengzuo has finished his corpse. ”

Let's put aside the chestnut cake for the time being, and listen to Wang Yan's explanation.

Wang said that judging from the stiffness of the corpse, the time of death was from the time of the child to the time of the ugly, the cause of death was suffocation, there was no resistance, and the body did not have any injuries.

"Strangled?" I interjected?

Wang Yanzuo touched the back of his erect neck, as if he was confirming and then nodding affirmatively, "What the lord said is that he was indeed strangled to death before being hung on a beam and pretending to commit suicide." ”

Nian Zhongjun squeezed out the word Sichuan between his eyebrows, and his face was sad, "Even if he was unjustly killed, that letter, the lower official will send someone to seriously compare the authenticity of Master Su's letter and say goodbye." ”

With that, they left Zhao Zhutou and left in a hurry.

There are too many suspicious points in this case, and I can't have a clue for a while, but I always feel that if I want to find out the truth, I must wait for Tang Li to find out a clue, and then follow the vine.

I turned my head sideways and saw Chu Nian looking up at the beams of the house, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Do you think that no matter how heavy a person sleeps, why don't you resist if he is strangled to death?" He looked back at me.

"Childe, what do you want to say?"

"Do you remember what Su He just said?"

I seriously recalled, "Childe is saying that someone used medicine to stun the Su family?" This person is very clear about controlling Su Qian's actions, and secretly has insight into everything? ”

The corners of Chu Nian's mouth rose slightly, "Yes, although I don't know who the person behind the scenes is, it is not difficult to find this executioner." ”

I carefully tasted the meaning of his words, and asked uncertainly: "Childe is saying that he will lead the snake out of the hole?" ”

Chu Nian's anger has disappeared now, and that smile makes me feel like a spring breeze, as if I have seen the warm sun in winter, it is really not easy!

"What are you looking at me like that?" He whispered and pulled me back to reality.

"No, I just feel that it is not easy to make the adult's face turn from cloudy to sunny, and I am reflecting, reflecting. Now that Childe has an idea, why don't you arrange it? ”

Chu Nian shook his head, "Not for the time being, now the arrangement will only startle the snake, and I will leave this matter to others." ”

Is this someone who doesn't trust the prefect's yamen?

"Gollum ......"

I was a little embarrassed, and peeked outside only to realize that it was almost noon. I didn't stop eating in the morning, so it's no wonder I called it again.

"Let's go, let's eat."

I glanced at the officials who were there, and was a little embarrassed to throw them down, "Do you want to find a clue about the secret room?" ”

"There is a thin line on the deadbolt at the door, but it is the simplest way to seal the door, so you don't need to check it." He pointed at Zhao Zhutou and the others as if they were putting down a new continent and studying the door bolt very speechlessly, and sighed helplessly, "Also, why are you confused for a while and understand?" You're me now, not a pawn, understand? ”

Even if I was reprimanded, I had to straighten my waist, and after leaving Su Mansion with Chu Nian, I found a snack bar to rest.

When the shopkeeper came in with food, I choked half of the water I just drank in, and subconsciously raised my right hand to cover my mouth, which involved the wound again, which was even more uncomfortable.

Chu Nian covered his head with one hand and disgusted me for being useless, and with the other hand, he reluctantly gently patted my back and smoothed my back.

The shopkeeper hurriedly wiped the water stains on the table with a hand towel, put down the meal, and teased me with a smile, "This guest officer, the small one is only five big and three thick, and the person is still very kind, so you won't be scared like this!" ”

I'm just giving a thumbs up, and I'm going to have to take a break.

Chu Nian took out some broken silver and handed it to him along with a letter, "It's okay, my family has been looking for wind and cold in the past two days, it has nothing to do with you, go down!" ”

"Thank you, officer, use it slowly!" Feng Yong cooperated decently, accepted the money and letters, and withdrew without any flaws.

I waited a long time before I spoke, "He ......"

"To be a man again, the adults gave him the opportunity to change his past, and he is very grateful."

I glanced at the back of Captain Ma Du leaving and grinned, his group of actors were quite in place, "Childe, you could see the appearance of those two fine works yesterday, if we visit now, can you still recognize them?" ”

Chu Nian shook his head, "Yesterday, I was afraid that I had already scared the snake, and that fine work would definitely not stay in the city defense camp again, we had no evidence, we would only expose ourselves." ”

"Aren't you hurt in vain? Lord Zhou's clue was also broken. ”

"You, worried about me?" Chu Nian looked at me curiously.

I replied without hesitation, "Of course, Childe's comfort is greater than anything else, and of course, I would be more grateful if Childe also let me participate in the action." ”

Chu Nian listened to the bright black eyes that dimmed a lot, and asked expressionlessly: "What, are you unwilling to do decorations?" ”

How can this guy always see through my careful thoughts, and immediately denied it, "What's the matter, I just feel that it's a shame to let Childe face danger at any time and enjoy himself by himself." ”

Chu Nian was about to say something but was cut off by an annoying voice, "What's wrong with this, if I were you, he would doubt his life!" ”
