Patriarch Sun flashed a little disappointed on his face, and said, "Naturally, I won't spread this matter, but it's not for you, but for the dead Ying clan." ”

Sun Ercai didn't care what the reason was for Patriarch Sun, seeing that he agreed, he breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his hands.

Patriarch Sun Fu sat down at the stone table again, stared straight at Sun Er who was sitting on the ground, and said in a deep voice:

"Later, I will order someone to come here to take a good look at Ying's corpse, don't do anything wrong for me. If I find out, don't blame my men for being ruthless! ”

Sun Er didn't care in his heart, but his face was a cry of response.

Patriarch Sun couldn't see his thoughts, and warned him:

"You'd better take my words to heart! Ying's corpse was requested by the Yamen, and if something goes wrong, I am afraid that you will be imprisoned. ”

Sun Er's heart tightened, and then he paid attention to it. He's a good man, but he can't go to the cell.

After Patriarch Sun left, Sun Er glanced at the coffin that was quietly placed in the hall, only to feel a cold air coming, and couldn't help but clench his arms and rub them.

The sky gradually darkened, and now he was the only one left in the family, and Sun Erhou realized that he had a heart.

But seeing him fold his hands, he bowed in the direction of the coffin, closed his eyes and muttered to himself:

"Ying, you just have to go to the person who harmed you, and you will repay the wrongs and revenge. We're a good husband and wife, and I'm pretty good to you on weekdays, so don't come to me! ”

As the words fell, he cautiously headed towards the kitchen.

Xie Jinlan and Ruan Yezhen on the roof were not in a hurry to show up.

After Sun Er had dinner very casually and left the house, he fell in the courtyard.

Both of them looked at the coffin in the hall.

Ruan Yezhen said: "But you want to open the coffin? ”

Xie Jinlan groaned slightly, then shook his head, and said, "Now I don't have any autopsy tools on my body, so let's put it aside for the time being." ”

After a pause, his gaze fell not far from the gate, and said, "Let's investigate the crime scene first." ”

Ruan Yezhen bowed her head slightly in agreement.

According to the direction described by Mo Yan before, the two came to the stone table.

Ruan Yezhen's sharp eyes saw the blood stains on the ground that had not been cleaned up, and pointed to that place:

"There are blood stains here, it should be the scene of the crime."

As the words fell, she squatted down and carefully observed the bloodstains.

Xie Jinlan bent down to check around her.

Ruan Yezhen didn't care about Xie Jinlan, she looked in the direction of the bloodstains, and saw that the bloodstains had been winding all the way to the bottom of a stone bench.

Because there are traces of random cleaning, this blood stain is very faint, if you don't observe it carefully, I'm afraid you won't be able to find it.

Ruan Yezhen wanted to remove the stone bench with a faint blood stain to check, but inadvertently, she found that the stone table was a little strange, and her hand movements couldn't help but be stunned.

When she looked down, she saw that the stone pillar supported under the stone table was stained with a trace of dark red foreign matter.

Raising her hand and rubbing it gently, Ruan Yezhen put her finger between her nose and sniffed.

The smell of blood crept into her nose.

Ruan Yezhen said secretly: Sure enough!

Judging by the color of the bloodstains, it must have appeared recently. It is very likely that it is Ying's bloodstains, or it was inadvertently left by the murderer!

Thinking like this, Ruan Yezhen's eyes lit up, turned her head to look at Xie Jinlan, who was facing her back, and said with a smile:

"Xie Jinlan, come and see here!"

When Xie Jinlan heard this, he paused, and then turned to look at Ruan Yezhen, who was smiling and smiling.

Ruan Yezhen pointed to the stone pillar and said, "Look at this bloodstain, isn't it strange?" ”

Xie Jinlan came to Ruan Yezhen and squatted down, looked at it carefully, and then rubbed it a little and sniffed it under his nose for a moment.

The conclusion he came to was no different from that of Nguyen.

But seeing that his eyebrows were frowning, he said thoughtfully:

"Even if it rains, as long as it's not a storm, it won't be washed away. In this way, it seems that someone with a heart did it intentionally. ”

Ruan Yezhen's eyes widened slightly, and she had a guess in her heart: "Could it be that this is the evidence that Ying's family deliberately left behind to point to the murderer?" ”

That's what Xie Jinlan meant, but he couldn't guess the deep meaning:

"It's just, what does this inconspicuous bloodstain prove?"

Ruan Yezhen went directly to the stone table and got closer to see the traces of blood.

It would be more accurate to say that it is not so much bloodstains as bloodstains.

The three were twisted, side by side with blood not too far apart. At a rough glance, it looks like a 'one', but if you look closely, it's a 'three'.

It's just that after Fang Cai, she and Xie Jinlan rubbed against each other for a while, and the word 'three' became even less obvious.

Fortunately, she has good eyesight, but she can see clearly.

After getting out of the stone table, Ruan Yezhen informed Xie Jinlan of her discovery.

Xie Jinlan's eyes drooped slightly, and he said: "I just don't know whether this 'three' character is a word that has not yet been written, or what pattern it represents." Or maybe it's a simple 'three'. ”

Ruan Yezhen clapped her hands and got up, and said with a smile: "Let's put this aside for the time being, let's see if there are any other clues here." ”

Xie Jinlan bowed slightly, and returned to the place he had searched before.

Ruan Yezhen took a breath, and then directly removed the stone bench with blood stains, and then gently put it down.

Xie Jinlan turned his head to look at the sound when he heard this, but he was not surprised when he saw Ruan Yezhen's actions, and continued to look back at Fang Cai's discovery.

Ruan Yezhen was not aware of Xie Jinlan's actions. Her full attention was on the stone bench.

After carefully looking at the bloodstains on the stone bench, and then observing the bloodstains on the original position of the stone bench closely, Ruan Yezhen did not find anything wrong. I could only silently move the stone bench back to its original position.

Just as she was about to observe elsewhere, Xie Jinlan got up and said, "It's getting late, presumably Xiaoyu Pavilion should have opened for business at this moment." ”

Ruan Yezhen said: "Then don't you continue to investigate here?" Sun Er's bedroom is not investigated? ”

Xie Jinlan shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "That Sun Er is not the murderer of the Ying family, and his bedroom is not to be seen." ”

Ruan Yezhen disagreed:

"How can we conclude before the truth is revealed? Judging from the current situation, the possibility of Sun Er's murderer is indeed very small. But that doesn't mean he's unsuspected. ”

When Xie Jinlan heard this, he looked at Ruan Yezhen deeply, but he was silent.

Ruan Yezhen was quite uncomfortable by him, and her eyes were a little evasive:

"Why do you look at me like that? Didn't you tell me that? ”

Xie Jinlan smiled slowly and said, "Not bad! It's just that I didn't expect you to remember it so clearly. ”

Ruan Ye Zhenquan took this as a compliment, his chin was slightly raised, and his tone was a little proud: "That's natural, I have a good memory since I was a child!" ”

Xie Jinlan couldn't deny a smile.

Ruan Yezhen asked, "Well...... But do you want to investigate Sun Er's bedroom? ”

Xie Jinlan shook his head and said, "No, let's go to Xiaoyu Pavilion first." If there was really any evidence in his room, I am afraid that he would have destroyed his body a long time ago. ”

Ruan Yezhen thought about it and felt reasonable.

But when she left the alley and came to the crowded street, she felt that something was wrong.

This Sun Er's bedroom will have to be investigated sooner or later, since they all went to his house, why not check the bedroom first?

The back kitchen of Xiaoyu Pavilion is where Sun Er was an apprentice, shouldn't his bedroom be more important in comparison?

Ruan Yezhen looked hesitant, and glanced at Xie Jinlan beside her from time to time.

Xie Jinlan felt a little funny: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly." It's not like you who hesitate like that. ”

Ruan Yezhen waited for his words, and said her doubts without hesitation.

Xie Jinlan didn't answer and asked: "In your opinion, what is the difference between Xiaoyu Pavilion and Sun Er's bedroom?" ”

Ruan Yezhen knew that he was guiding himself, so he was not impatient, and immediately stopped and seriously thought about the gap between the two.

Xie Jinlan was not in a hurry, so he quietly accompanied him on the side.

The two of them are standing next to a big tree at the moment, but they are not afraid of blocking the path of others, and they will not attract everyone's attention.

After a while, Ruan Yezhen looked at Xie Jinlan with bright eyes:

"I know, the biggest difference between the two is that the people in Xiaoyu Pavilion are too talkative. Maybe you can find out who is with Ying, or Sun Er has a grudge! ”

Xie Jinlan looked at Ruan Yezhen with a 'teachable' expression.

Ruan Yezhen smiled happily, and then she was still a little puzzled: "But the investigation between the two is not in conflict, why didn't you check Sun Er's bedroom first?" ”

"Well...... this"

Xie Jinlan dragged out the last note, and in Ruan Yezhen's expectant eyes, he said, "I just want to see Xiaoyu Pavilion first." ”

Ruan Yezhen didn't expect to get such an answer, and was stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, she looked at Xie Jinlan carefully, and after making sure that he was not joking, an indescribable anger suddenly surged in her heart.

After snorting heavily, he didn't say hello to Xie Jinlan, and walked forward immediately.

Rao is Xie Jinlan is very smart, and he was also stunned by Ruan Yezhen's sudden change of face.

After he reacted, he could only see Ruan Yezhen's back in the distance, and hurriedly caught up with her and grabbed her arm: "Wait a minute!" ”

Ruan Yezhen directly shook off his hand, and didn't want to attract the attention of others, so she shouted in a low voice: "If you have something to say, what kind of system is such a pull and pull!" ”

The words fell, and he walked straight forward.

Xie Jinlan grabbed her arm again, making it impossible for her to take a step forward.

Ruan Yezhen didn't dare to struggle too hard, turned her head to glare at him angrily, gritted her teeth and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Xie Jinlan smiled helplessly and said, "I just want to tell you that the direction of Xiaoyu Pavilion is over there." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the right.

Ruan Yezhen's cheeks suddenly turned completely red, and even her ears turned red.

His lips pursed for a while, and he glared at Xie Jinlan angrily: "Then you don't want to leave quickly!" ”

Xie Jinlan didn't care about her, and only said in his heart: A woman's heart is a needle.

Then he took Ruan Yezhen's arm and walked in the direction he was pointing out.

Fortunately, he had followed Ruan Haoxuan to the Qinglou in the capital, and at this time, walking with Xie Jinlan on this street full of Qinglou, Ruan Yezhen was still calm.

Xiaoyu Pavilion is located in the middle of this street, although it is not the largest one, but the scale is quite good.

Xie Jinlan and Ruan Yezhen had just stopped at the door of Xiaoyu Pavilion, and the old bustard with heavy makeup at the door immediately twisted his waist to greet him.

The handkerchief full of strong fragrance was thrown in front of the two, and the smile was very flattering:

"Yo, the two sons, hurry up, please! My surname is Feng, and the two of you call me Feng's mother. ”

The two followed Feng's mother into the Xiaoyu Pavilion.

Feng's mother said as she walked:

"The two sons looked at each other very much, I'm afraid it's the first time to come, right? What kind of girls do you like? We have it all in Xiaoyu Pavilion! The two of you just have to tell your mother, and I will bring them to you immediately. ”

Xie Jinlan smiled: "Mother Feng has good eyesight!" When the two of us first arrived in Lingzhou, we wanted to come and see it. ”

Feng's mother said happily: "Oh, you two are really right!" ”

As she spoke, she took the two of them upstairs to the wing.

The girls who have been in this green building for some time are very sharp-eyed. They naturally saw that Xie Jinlan and Ruan Yezhen were dressed extraordinarily and had an extraordinary bearing. I thought that this opportunity to serve would fall on me.

Therefore, they threw flattering eyes at the two of them, threw handkerchiefs, and called delicately, trying to get into the eyes of the two.

Of course, they wanted to get closer and fall into their arms.

It's just that with Feng's mother's warning eyes in front of them, they naturally don't dare to be so presumptuous.

After entering a side room, Feng's mother closed the door to isolate the noisy sound outside.

Looking at Xie Jinlan and the two who were seated at the round table, after twisting their waists and approaching, they covered their mouths and smiled, and said:

"The two sons haven't told their mother yet, what kind of girl do you like? Is it lively and lovely? Or is it arrogant? Or is it gentle and elegant? ”

Xie Jinlan smiled: "Mom, let's find a few girls who are beautiful and talk a lot." ”

As he spoke, he took out ten taels of gold from his bosom and threw them on the table.

Mother Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly put the gold into her sleeve, and smiled even brighter: "No problem!" Childe, just rest assured, Mom will make you satisfied! ”

Then he looked at Ruan Yezhen on the side: "What kind of girl does this son want?" ”

Ruan Yezhen suddenly moved her gaze to Xie Jinlan. But seeing that he looked at his nose and nose, and obviously let her solve it by herself, a little anger suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, she seemed to think of something, rolled her eyes, looked at Feng's mother and said, "Mom, is there a handsome restaurant here?" ”

When Xie Jinlan heard this, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

Mother Feng was stunned for a moment, and smiled dryly: "This son is really sorry, we only have girls here." ”

But he scolded secretly in his heart: What kind of restaurant are you looking for in the Qinglou? Isn't this a deliberate embarrassment!

Ruan Yezhen glanced at Xie Jinlan without a trace, and said with a smile: "Is there a male pianist who accompanies the girls?" ”

Mother Feng was suddenly a little embarrassed: "Son, the pianist is only responsible for accompanying the girls, and never accepts guests." ”

Xie Jinlan opened his mouth at the right time: "Mother Feng, he is just joking with you, don't care." According to the standard I just said, call a few girls in. ”
