The next day, the news of Jin Chiliang's murder at home spread in the market like smoke.

After Chang Xi inquired, he told Zhao Qingmiao all in one breath without breathing.

After Zhao Qingmiao heard this, he was really shocked in his heart. Although I don't like this person, but I have a good life, how can I say that if I don't have it, it will be gone?

When she calms down, she doesn't take it seriously.

However, Zhao Qingmiao didn't know that rumors and rumors outside had sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. said that Jin Chiliang couldn't stop his bad luck after he met Miss Zhao Er, otherwise he would be killed if he was lying at home......

The prefect of Yongcheng is surnamed Tong, and he has only been in office for more than half a year. He was born as a Jinshi, in line with the principle of doing less and making fewer mistakes, not doing well, although his political achievements were mediocre, he never offended people, and in a few years, he rose steadily from the prefect to the prefect.

The light and shadow overlap silently, and the breeze blows the lake.

The sky is clear. At this moment, for the people of the Jin family, it is covered by dark clouds.

When Master Tong rushed to Jin's house with a group of officials and servants, the house was already full of vegetarian and solemn atmosphere. Old Man Jin and Mrs. Jin were sitting in the hall hugging their heads and crying, and the taste of losing their children was admittedly sad.

Master Tong first comforted the second elder of the Jin family, and then ordered the master to take the head catcher to interrogate the descendants of the Jin family, to see if there were any strange things at the time of the crime, and if there was a shortage of people.

Subsequently, he and Qi Zuocai went to the inner house at the time of the crime.

When the Jin family came to report the case early in the morning, Master Tong ordered not to disturb the scene, and all clues were still traceable.

When they entered the courtyard, they smelled a strong smell of blood in their noses, and saw a man in a single shirt and black shoes lying on his back in the corridor under the eaves.

It rained last night, and there were some traces of water on the bluestone paved road in the courtyard. The child looked around, and the room was connected to the corridor on the left and right, which could lead to the other wings. The courtyard wall is more than two people high, except for some flowers and plants, stone benches and round tables, there is nothing suspicious.

So, how did the killer get in? How do you kill someone without alarming people?

The autopsy began. First, he walked up to Jin Chiliang's side, carefully and lightly fiddled with his head, and concluded that there were no scars on his face. The same is true for re-examining the limbs. Only the chest was covered with a deep wound, and the blood that flowed to the ground was dark.

I don't know if the perpetrator is a novice or has a deep hatred, the murder weapon penetrates the chest, stirs left and right and stabs repeatedly, so the flesh wound is extremely uneven.

Tong Daren stared at the corpse and suddenly asked:

"Has anyone cleaned the floor?"

The officer replied: "No, my lord. ”

This is even more strange, the murderer did not leave footprints when he fled?

As far as the eye could see, Mr. Tong turned around and stepped into the room, and saw a woman kneeling on the ground in disheveled clothes, wrapped in an embroidered mandarin duck red belly pocket on her upper body, wearing white silk shirts and pants, and her beautiful figure loomed. It's just a bloody panic on his face, and a frightened look in his eyes.

"My lord, she is Jin Chiliang's maid. Last night, it was she and Jin Chiliang who slept together. The officer explained to him.

Master Tong groaned and asked sharply, "Did you hear the fight last night?" Do you know how Jin Chiliang is outside? ”

Chunlan shuddered when she was asked, and cried out of tears: "No, no!" Adult, it has nothing to do with the little woman...... Yes, yes, it's raining! In the middle of the night, I seemed to hear Childe say that he wanted to close the window. I, I, just slept with my son for a night, how do I know that as soon as I wake up, he, he will die! Woowoo woo ......"

The boy was about to continue the questioning when the sound of a car rolling over the ground sounded outside the door.

The woman in the wheelchair had a sad face, and her face was pale after not seeing light all year round, only showing the appearance of being sick and haggard.

Seeing this, the two officers hurriedly went up to help lift the wheelchair, crossed the threshold and lowered it gently.

She seemed to be frightened and coughed violently because she saw Jin Chiliang's death, her weak back arched slightly, and when she looked closely, she had already raised her head, except for her sad expression.

"My lord, I am Jin Chiliang's wife, Yu Yao."

Master Tong sighed slightly: It turned out to be the new lady who was paralyzed. He heard people sigh and mention it at a banquet, but it was difficult for the Qing official to cut off family affairs, and he couldn't do anything.

Thinking of this, Master Tong's eyes lit up and asked, "Last night's third watch, where is the new lady?" “

Min'er patted Yu Yao on the back and smoothed her breath, and then replied: "My lord, my wife has been staying in the West Wing, not to mention coming here, she doesn't even come out of her own room." ”

Yu Yao pulled La Min'er's sleeve and said to the child's expectant Ai Ai: "My lord, my body just wants to move around freely, I'm afraid I am also powerless......

The boy cleared his throat in disobscation. This investigation of the murder case has always been the suspicion of close relationships around him, so he is not aimed at anyone.

The perpetrator faced Jin Chiliang, and it can be seen that the size and physique will not be a weak woman, so a group of female dependents and maids were excluded first.

At this time, the headhunter hurriedly reported:

"My lord! There were footprints found at the side door of the backyard! The subordinates have measured, about the size of the adult man's feet, the shoe prints are of different shades, it seems to be a lame, and the subordinates have already rubbed it down first. ”

The child's eyes narrowed and he began to think. It rained overnight, and the footprints were either left by the murderer last night or by the people walking around the house early in the morning.

"Is there anyone in the house who is lame?"

The head catcher replied: "The subordinates checked, but no." And the side door is not very open, so only the cooks, handymen, and people who pour night incense in the backyard will enter and exit. ”

"Your Excellency." The master also walked in and arched his hand.

The child then asked, "How?" ”

The master looked past Master Tong and threw himself at the three women in the house, and only after hesitation did he say to him: "I just inquired, Jin Gongzi's little servant was not in the house last night, and he only returned this morning." ”

Master Tong's eyes sank, and he immediately said: "First bring Jin Gongzi's body back to the mansion first, and the little guy will also be brought back for interrogation." ”

When they went out, they heard the second elder of the Jin family crying behind them......

When he returned to the mansion, the little servant saw the two rows of standing guards screaming, and immediately knelt down with frightened knees.

"Great, sir! Not me! It has nothing to do with me! Yesterday, my mother was seriously ill, and I went back to get medicine for my mother. ”

'Knock knock', the three heads knocked down without waiting for a moment, and the little guy suddenly had gold stars in his eyes, and his forehead was red and swollen.

Seeing that his expression and demeanor did not seem to be fake, Master Tong sent the head of the arrester to the pharmacy and the house of the servant to investigate.

Half an hour later, he replied: Indeed.

This clears the suspicion of the little guy.

The child was silent.

But the master standing on the side, short body reminded him.

Master Tong immediately stretched his brows, and asked again to the little maid in the hall: "Does your master have a grudge or quarrel with others?" ”

The little guy saw that he was no longer suspicious, so he relaxed. Touching his forehead and thinking about it, he suddenly lit up, and his eyelids raised: "There is one, but it's not a grudge......"

Wang Kee Restaurant.

I don't know if I said the right and wrong of the dead, Chang Xi began to have a toothache.

She looked at Shen Xiao with a blank eye, and said weakly: "Sen Jiu, I'll talk to you, when you step into the vegetable for a while, ......"

This step is a painstaking task. Zhao Qingmiao doesn't like green onions in dishes, shrimp have to be shelled first, fish has to pick thorns, and chicken has to be cleaned with skin.

Shen Xiao looked at Chang Xi, and the corners of his mouth twitched: Toothache, you don't have a hand ache.

Of course, Chang Xi has another purpose. She said goodbye to Zhao Qingmiao, and closed the door with her cheeks.

The storyteller downstairs is talking about "It turns out that the young lady is dead, but the soul is on the cat, and the blind violinist actually has a feud with the young lady......"

The wind blows and destroys the flowers and leaves in the bottle.

The light gap outside the window flicked by, and the screen shadow moved forward during the banquet.

"Miss, let's eat."

Zhao Qingmiao slowly withdrew her gaze from the window, fell on Shen Xiao, and moved to the dining table in a moment.
