Seeing that she was about to walk to the side of Master Chen and the others, Ruan Yezhen's heart was in a hurry, and the words that had been brewing for a long time finally came out of her mouth: "Xie Jinlan, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that about you!" It's that I don't know the hearts of good people! ”

Xie Jinlan quietly made a gesture to her that he didn't care.

Ruan Yezhen breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and at the same time, she felt that her previous reaction was a little too much.

Although they haven't been together for a long time, she knows that Xie Jinlan is not such a hypocritical person. Since he showed that he didn't mind, he really didn't take it to heart.

Seeing Xie Jinlan coming, Master Chen and the catchers stopped their movements and bowed to him: "My lord! ”

Xie Jinlan bowed slightly, and then looked at Master Chen: "But what did you find?" ”

Mo Yan, who followed the search with the arresters, immediately stopped what he was doing, and then walked behind Xie Jinlan.

"My lord, Master Chen, there is something unusual here!"

Just as Master Chen opened his mouth to speak, Li Zhu quickly turned around and shouted loudly.

When the two heard this, they walked quickly to where Li Zhukuai was.

Li Zhukuai slightly sideways to give way to Xie Jinlan and the others, and then pointed to a meadow and said, "Lord Chen, please take a look, there are traces of being crushed by heavy objects here." ”

Xie Jinlan and Master Chen squatted down, looked at the drag marks on the ground about a foot wide, and couldn't help but glance at each other.

Master Chen said: "Presumably, this should be the trace left by the murderer when he dragged Wang Tianci's corpse. ”

Xie Jinlan nodded approvingly: "Yes, following this trace, you may be able to find the scene of the first crime." ”

Master Chen called softly: "Li catches quickly." Then he stood up.

Xie Jinlan also stood up.

When Li Yu approached, Master Chen directly took the lantern in his hand and followed the traces on the ground.

Xie Jinlan shook his head with a smile, and then strode to catch up with Master Chen's pace and walked beside him.

Mo Yan didn't say a word, and followed behind Xie Jinlan.

The catchers glanced at each other, and then Li Catcher followed with a few people, and the rest stayed where they were to continue the search.

Although Ruan Yezhen also wanted to go over and take a look, she couldn't take a step further. I could only watch a few people walk away.

All the way through, the trail of drag reached a gazebo.

After a survey around the pavilion, Master Chen determined that the traces ended here.

Looking sideways at Xie Jinlan, Master Chen said with a straight face: "My lord, maybe the pavilion here is the scene of the first crime." ”

Xie Jinlan bowed slightly, and then turned his face slightly: "Li Zhu, hurry!" ”

Li Zhu, who was behind, took a step forward and arched his hand: "Humble duty!" ”

Xie Jinlan raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the pavilion: "Take someone to check if there are any clues!" ”

Li Zhu quickly responded in a loud voice, and then beckoned several brothers behind him to quickly enter the pavilion together, and searched carefully by the bright light on the lantern.

Seeing this, Xie Jinlan turned around and walked directly in the direction he was coming from.

Master Chen's face was surprised, and then he quickly stopped his way: "Where are you going?" ”

Xie Jinlan said with a smile: "Now that the scene of the first crime has been found, the official will naturally go back and wait for news." Is it possible to stand here stupidly? ”

Master Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Your Excellency can search the pavilion with the lower officials, and you may be able to find something." ”

Xie Jinlan shook his head with a smile: "This kind of hard work is not suitable for this official to do. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and gently patted Master Chen's shoulder, and said with emotion: "Master Chen, I'll trouble you and Li Zhu to hurry up with them." ”

When the words fell, Xie Jinlan directly crossed Master Chen's book. When he passed by, he also took the lantern in the hand of Master Chen.

Mo Yan glanced at Master Chen very quickly, secretly held back a smile, and then followed Xie Jinlan's footsteps.

Master Chen looked at his empty right hand in a daze, and then turned around to look at the direction where Xie Jinlan and Mo Yan left, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in his heart:

If it weren't for the previous Li Bao'er case, he would have witnessed the time and energy that adults put into it. With the adult's current attitude of not caring about it, he is afraid that he will misunderstand that the adult does not take human life seriously......

Seeing Xie Jinlan coming back, Ruan Yezhen suddenly looked at him with a look of surprise: "Xie Jinlan, but what have you gained?" ”

Xie Jinlan seemed to inadvertently glance at the direction where Ruan Yezhen was.

Ruan Yezhen instantly understood that this meant that there was something to be discovered. I couldn't help but show a hint of joy on my face.

Seeing that Xie Jinlan was about to go away, she hurriedly shouted: "Xie Jinlan, you quickly bring Xiaobai here to be my companion!" ”

It wasn't until Xie Jinlan's figure disappeared at the arch that Ruan Yezhen retracted her gaze and muttered, "I don't know when he will bring Xiaobai over." ”

When Xie Jinlan returned to the hall with the ink inkstone, the place had been cleaned up and all the festive things had been removed. Only four of the servants hung white lanterns at the door.

Hearing the movement, whether it was the little guy on the ladder or the little guy holding the ladder below, his eyes invariably fell on Xie Jinlan.

The four of them were shocked in their hearts, but before they could make a move, Xie Jinlan immediately raised his hand to stop him: "Don't be busy, do what you have in hand first." ”

The four of them showed gratitude: "Thank you, Lord Prefectural!" ”

After seeing Xie Jinlan enter the hall, they continued the matter at hand.

After hanging the white lantern at the entrance of the hall, the small servants on the escalators on the left and right sides slowly descended.

After the two landed safely, the four of them looked at each other, and then bowed slightly and stepped into the hall.

After consciously standing in a row, they knelt down and saluted to Xie Jinlan, who was seated: "The little one has seen the county commander!" ”

Xie Jinlan smiled very gently: "This is not a public court, you don't have to be so polite, get up and talk back." ”

The four of them said in unison: "Thank you, Lord County!" ”

Then he got up from the ground, hung his head slightly, and waited for orders.

Xie Jinlan's gaze quickly swept over the four of them, and then asked, "Where is your master now?" ”

One of them said respectfully: "Back to my lord, the little one saw my master hurrying to the backyard, and he should be in the courtyard of his wife at this moment." ”

Xie Jinlan bowed slightly, and then his eyes fell on the person who spoke: "You go and inform your master, and say that the official is waiting for him here." ”

The man departed.

Seeing the other three people moving their hands and feet slightly, quite uneasy, Xie Jinlan raised his hand and waved: "This official is here just to find your master." Go down and get busy. If there is anything, the official will instruct Mo Yan. ”

The three of them suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, quietly exchanged a look, and then bowed down.
