Chapter 45 Xiaoqiao Village

Hong Liangcai didn't know why, took off the mourning clothes on his body, and directly called all his relatives and friends to return the same way, leaving Shi Chunfang very excited to kneel in front of Xiao Chuyun, almost three kneels and nine knocks and cried with joy excitedly, and said a word: "The benefactor is above, Chunfang has thanked the benefactor!" ”

Xiao Chuyun hurriedly pulled Shi Chunfang up, and asked again, "How can you kneel me?" You're a year older than me! However, I haven't finished talking just now, I want to know, in addition to Hong Liangcai, does your sister have a grudge against any woman? For example, if you have a ring on your hand? ”

Shi Chunfang wiped the tears on her face, lowered her head and thought for a long time, so she said, "No!" Since my sister married into the Hong family, she has not gone out of the door, except for me, there is only Hong Liangcai's mother, but Aunt Hong has not beaten and scolded her sister. Benefactor, but what did you find? ”

Jiang Yue stood beside Xiao Chuyun and stared at her for a long time, the feeling came to her mind again, this Xiao Chuyun was too bold, not at all like the appearance of a fourteen-year-old girl, but she was in her twenties, even if it was the result of the cultivation of the mind in the Buddhist temple in the past four years, but Qixiaguan was a nun temple, where killing was prohibited, where did her ability to test death and injury come from?

"Jiang Yue, can you still hold it? If you can't support ......," Xiao Chuyun turned to look at Jiang Yue beside him and said with concern.

"It doesn't matter! There was a murder here, and as a fast catcher, how could he retreat. Jiang Yue replied.

At this time, Jiang Yue's horse when he came over just now slowly walked over, originally wanting Xiao Chuyun to ride, but she was unwilling, and persuaded the horse to be ridden by Jiang Yue by discussing the case with Shi Chunfang, so that she could save some physical strength.

The winter of the shore tomb, although it is almost the end of the year, the warm spring seems to be far away from here, this time is still cold and frozen, after noon, the temperature in the afternoon will become colder and colder.

I heard Shi Chunfang say that the village they live in is called Xiaoqiao Village, ten miles outside Anling City, this small village has no county office, and all cases are under the jurisdiction of the prefect of Anling City.

And this Xiaoqiao village also has a story, word of mouth has been passed down for more than 400 years, legend: when the Holy Ancestor conquered the Quartet, he once obtained a beautiful woman with a sinking fish and a wild goose, a beautiful woman named Die Danjiao, who is very good at dancing. Once used to dance the world with "Immortal Descent", and even subdued the enemy generals with this dance, and 100,000 soldiers and horses turned against the situation, and the soldiers were bloodless.

And this Die Danjiao was born in this village, the people in this village, in order to thank her for her merits, took the "Jiao" in her name as the name of the village, and over time, Xiaojiao Village became the current Xiaoqiao Village.

Along the way, Xiao Chuyun also listened to Shi Chunfang explain the whole case in detail:

In the early morning four days ago, Hong Liangcai, as usual, picked up a hoe and went to the field to do farm work, while Shi Chunfang was doing chores in a show, leaving only Hong Liangcai's parents and her sister Shi Chunxue at home.

And Shi Chunfang thinks that the reason why her sister Shi Chunxue did not hang herself is that when she returned home, her sister was still hanging on the beam, and her brother-in-law Hong Liangcai was sitting aside, and when she lifted the stool on the side, she found that the stool was three centimeters short from her sister Shi Chunxue's feet.

"Three centimeters? Didn't Hong Liangcai find out? Xiao Chuyun asked in surprise.

Shi Chunfang shook her head and said with a sad face: "My sister was still untied by me, and at that time, Hong Liangcai was sitting on the side, motionless and in a daze. For this reason, I fell on my waist, and I still have some soreness! ”

Jiang Yue heard some clues on the horse, and asked as he walked on the horse, "Miss Shi, where was her in-laws at that time?" ”

"My uncle broke his right leg seven or eight days ago and was bedridden, and my aunt had been waiting by the bedside that day, so she wasn't there at the time!" Shi Chunxue replied with her head down.

"Uncle and aunt?" Xiao Chuyun was suddenly a little curious about the title.

"Oh! After my sister got married, she didn't worry about me alone, so she brought me to the Hong family together, and the two old men took me very well, so I called them uncles and aunts! For this question, a smile finally appeared on Shi Chunfang's face.

Xiao Chuyun suddenly remembered something, and then asked, "Chunfang, let me ask you, are your uncle's ears okay?" Do you have deafness behind your ears or something? ”

Shi Chunfang shook his head and blurted out: "They have good ears, and when the neighbor's cat barks in the middle of the night, they are still noisy!" ”

After listening to everything Shi Chunfang said, Xiao Chuyun was suddenly a little silent, according to the results on the corpse, it was clearly two murderers, since this father-in-law and mother-in-law's ear power is so good, it shouldn't have been heard without anything!

Could it be that it was really this Hong Liang who saw his wife Hongxing coming out of the wall, and killed her in anger?

That's not right! Even if Hong Liangcai strangled Shi Chunxue with a rope, there should still be someone who grabbed Shi Chunxue's feet to prevent her from struggling, so there would be a handprint left on her foot.

And this other person must also be a woman!

Xiaoqiao Village is almost the same as the shore tomb, most of them are bungalows made of clods, perhaps because of the lack of rain, so such mud houses can persist in this place.

Hong Liangcai's home is not far from the head of the village, in a boxy yard, there is a cattle cultivating the land, there are two east and west wings and a main house, the west wing has been used as a firewood house because no one lives.

After such a fuss, relatives and friends basically left, and only a few elderly people were still sitting on the high hall.

As soon as she entered the door, Shi Chunfang ran to the coffin parked in the yard, and cried again when she lay on the coffin.

Xiao Chuyun helped Jiang Yue, who got off the horse, and saw that his face was a little pale, a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his heart instantly felt a faint pain.

"Is it made of ten spiced soft tendons?" Xiao Chuyun wiped the cold sweat from Jiang Yue's forehead with his sleeve, and asked with some self-reproach.

"I can hold on!" When the words fell, Jiang Yue grabbed Xiao Chuyun's hand that he had dried for him, glanced at the courtyard of the Hong family, and then said in a low voice, "Do you know who the murderer is?"

Xiao Chuyun lowered his head and thought about it, then raised his head and said, "I think, at least it's not this Hong Liangcai, but this second elder in his family, I think I must know something." After a pause, he smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Do you know something?" Tell me! ”

Jiang Yue looked at the person in front of him and said slowly: "The key to this case is that Wang Xiucai, if you figure him out, everything will be clear."

After that, Jiang Yue just wanted to let go of Xiao Chuyun's hand, but she didn't expect her to let go reluctantly, looking at Xiao Chuyun's somewhat wicked smile, and then said again: "Since you are reluctant to let go, then tell me, what did you promise Yeqian?"

Xiao Chuyun suddenly lowered his head without a smile, leaned on his chest without hesitation, and whispered a little nervously and scaredly: "I didn't promise anything, it's just ...... Exchange your life for a Pisces jade pendant. ”

"What did you say?" Jiang Yue gently picked up Xiao Chuyun's jaw in some surprise, and asked without a smile.

Xiao Chuyun's eyes flickered and said: "Ye Qian said that there is a treasure hidden in Pisces Jade Perry, so I lied to him, the baby is in the Xiao family, I will take him to find the baby, the premise is to give you the antidote!"

"So, let me go alone that day, also because of this! And that's true today, right? Jiang Yue suddenly said with a cold face.

Xiao Chuyun saw that Jiang Yue was a little unhappy, so he grabbed his hand, snuggled up to his chest, and said coquettishly: "Jiang Yue~ I'm worried about you, I'm afraid that something will happen to you, so I did this, don't be angry with me, okay?" Isn't it good~"

Jiang Yue sighed slightly and asked in a low voice, "Let's go and see your case!" They are still waiting for you, the great benefactor, to uncover the mystery! ”

"You're really not mad at me?" Xiao Chuyun raised his head and asked cautiously.

"No, I just didn't expect that I was so important in your heart!" Jiang Yue raised his hand and gently stroked the strand of hair on her sideburns, and said softly.

Xiao Chuyun and Jiang Yue walked into Hong's house together, and when they heard that Master Hong was bedridden due to a leg injury, they said hello to everyone, and then knocked lightly at the door of the main room, and after listening to the people in the inner room, they walked in.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw a man in his fifties and over half a hundred years old lying on the bed, and Mrs. Hong standing next to the bed, wearing a plain dress and carrying a bowl of fish soup, was about to feed it to Mr. Hong.

Xiao Chuyun and Jiang Yue walked into the hall and said in unison, "I've seen Master Hong, Old Lady Hong."

At this time, Mrs. Hong glanced at the two of them lightly, then sat on the edge of the bed, and while feeding Mr. Hong fish soup, she pretended to ask profoundly: "The old man listened to what my son said, saying that the two smart people found out the real murderer of my daughter-in-law?"

"It's Brother Hong who has an overreputation, he is stupid, and the murderer has not yet been found, but he has studied medicine with his master since he was a child, and he also knows something about this broken tendon and bone, so he wants to help Master Hong take a look." Xiao Chuyun replied.

Mrs. Hong didn't look back, but said lightly: "No need, I've already seen the doctor, it's no big deal, don't bother the girl!" If it's okay, the girl should go! ”

When the words fell, Xiao Chuyun and Jiang Yue walked out of noon, with stomach troubles, and saw Shi Chunfang take out a bundle of firewood from the west wing on the side, still carrying a bucket of water in his hand, and walked to the kitchen behind.

"I'll help you!" Xiao Chuyun walked up quickly and took the bundle of firewood in her hand.

"Thank you benefactor, these are not what benefactors should do, but Chunfang is not thoughtful." Shi Chunfang said with some reproach.

The two walked to the kitchen together, Xiao Chuyun put the bundle of firewood under the stove, untied the hemp rope tied to the firewood, and was just about to throw it aside, but found that the two ends of the rope were about five inches down, and they were a little red, and they were a little curious to put it under their noses and smell it, and then said: "Chunfang, has this rope been tied to a living thing recently?"
