For a while, the atmosphere was quiet because of Jiang Zhu's words, and even the leaves blown by the wind outside could be clearly heard.

Xie's case has had a great impact on Song Lier, if she is wrong now, whether Xie is innocent, then why did she commit suicide and list her crimes in her suicide note.

"It's not that Xie is innocent, it can only be said that she is an accomplice in this case, or this long list of cases." Jiang Zhu's voice was cold, and the atmosphere was even lower.

"Let's eat first." Song Lier chose to ease the atmosphere: "A-Niang said that eating is the most important. ”

"Yes, yes, this winter meal is the most likely to be cold, eat first. After eating, everything is easy to say. Chen Xueqing also followed suit.

Song Wanjing patted Jiang Zhu on the shoulder.

"Even if the Xie clan really didn't kill anyone, she definitely knew who those dead people were killed for, she was an accomplice, how could she not be guilty?" After Song Li'er was quiet for a long time, she quietly looked at Jiang Zhu and said.

Song Wanjing and Chen Xueqing both looked at Song Li'er, "Isn't this not a no-nonsense?" Why did you say it again" looked at Song Li'er.

"Hmm." Jiang Zhu responded lightly and continued to eat.

The climate outside seemed to get colder, and the wind was getting louder and louder, and a gust of wind blew, and a cool air poured into everyone's necks, and then the door was closed with it, leaving only everyone shivering.

"Why did it change all of a sudden?" Chen Xueqing couldn't help but shrink his neck, trying his best to keep his body next to the stove and absorb the heat.

After the meal was eaten, let people clean it up, and the table was full of various texts, densely packed with words and symbols, which made Song Lier have a headache. Holding the soup woman who Li asked her to take when she went out, she sat on the side and was stunned.

"There is only one time left before this case can be closed." Jiang Zhu's thinking was clear, but there was no joy on his face, but his face became more and more gloomy.

Song Li'er didn't know if she heard their words, she looked at the rustling trees outside and said, "Today I met a person who came to find the Zhou family, saying that it was the former nurse of the Zhou Mansion. ”

"Where are the people now?" With a hint of joy on his face, Jiang Zhu turned around and asked.

"I saw that she had nowhere to go, so I arranged her in Fu'an Hall." Song Li'er turned her head and looked at Jiang Zhu, seeing a slight glimmer in his eyes, she probably guessed that this Manniang was probably related to this case.

"Then what are you waiting for, go now!" Chen Xueqing can't wait to hear the truth of this case.

"Yes, yes, it's just that at this hour, Manniang should have rested." Song Lier was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, just ask a few words, and it won't take much time." Jiang Zhu said.

Seeing Jiang Zhu so persistent, Song Li'er thought that it would only take a while, and there should be no problem.

But when they arrived at Fu'an Hall, they found that all the people in Fu'an Hall were surrounded by Manniang's house. Man Niang was resting with her eyes closed, her face was pale, and there was no blood.

"What's going on?" Before she left, Manniang was fine, but it was only half a day's work to become like this, and there was a clear and audible blame in her words.

"Little lady, we don't know what's going on. Ah Qi got up and went out of Gong, and saw the shadows of other people in Manniang's room, and then heard Manniang's scream, and Ah Qi woke us all up. When she arrived in Manniang's house, Manniang was covered in blood. If it weren't for Uncle Qian's good craftsmanship, it is estimated that Manniang's life would not be able to be saved at this time. The shopkeeper hurriedly explained, telling all that Ah Qi said before, and didn't dare to hide it at all. Although I watched some dramas and kills on weekdays, it was the first time I saw real blood on people's bodies, and I was so scared that my body was trembling now.

"How is Manniang now?" Jiang Zhu asked.

Uncle Ah Qian looked at the official mansion of Dali Temple on his body, thinking about the recent rumors outside: "Back to Jiang Shaoqing, Manniang is now fainting in pain, and there is no big problem, but she needs to recuperate for a while." ”

Jiang Zhu nodded, and turned his head to look at the shopkeeper and men of Fu'an Hall: "Please tell me what you see one by one." ”

"I'll start with that." Ah Qi, who was the first to speak, looked tall and big, much stronger than Jiang Zhu, but he looked at his face and looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the overall look looked very disobedient: "I got up and went out of courtesy, because the toilet was next to Manniang's house, when I walked over, I looked up at Manniang's house, and I saw someone inside, holding a dagger and stabbing down, I shouted, that person ran away in a hurry, and the shopkeeper also woke up." Uncle Qian was the closest and the first to go out, so I pulled him into Man Niang's house, lit the oil lamp, and found that Man Niang had been stabbed and the blood was flowing. Fortunately, Uncle Qian's craftsmanship is good, otherwise it would be a full mother."

What Ah Zhong has not said, everyone can know what it is.

"I heard Ah Zhong's voice, and I thought it was on fire. hurriedly got up, and saw Ah Zhong standing in the yard shouting, pulling people into Manniang's house. Wang Er pulled the wrong clothes, and when he saw Song Li'er there, he took a step back and let Ah Zhong block his body: "When I also came in, I saw Uncle Ah Zhong helping Man Niang clean up his wounds, and I will help boil water if I go." ”

"I also got up after hearing Ah Zhong's voice, and when I went out, Ah Zhong pulled me directly into the house of Man Niang. When I came in at that time, my mother was full of pain and wrinkles, her hands were covering her pipa bones, and she muttered to save me. Uncle Qian glanced at Man Niang on the bed and shook his head: "I don't know what kind of enemy it is, so ruthless." ”

"I didn't live in the courtyard, Ah Zhong told me to get up, and when I came, it was a busy mess. When Ah Zhong told me what had happened, I heard you knocking on the door outside. The shopkeeper said.

"I also woke up when I heard Ah Zhong's voice, and followed Ah Qi out of the door, I have better skills, and I am helping Uncle Ah Qian next to me." Adan still had dried blood on his hands.

Song Wanjing Jiang Zhu didn't have any doubts, and asked the shopkeeper and the others to go back to their respective rooms first.

Jiang Zhu inspected Manniang's house, but things were not messed up.

"The murderer should have escaped through the window." Song Lier had a strong interest in these, and followed Jiang Zhu with an oil lamp.

Jiang Zhu glanced at her, her face was clearly visible under the warm yellow oil lamp, and the two spots on the tip of her nose looked particularly playful at this time: "Is there anything else?" ”

Song Li'er smiled, is this to give her guidance?

"Look at the length of the shoes, it should be a man." Song Li'er took another look and found no other clues.

"This man has good light skills, and he is thin and relatively short." Jiang Zhu added two more sentences.

Song Lier gave a thumbs up.

Jiang Zhu went out to see the layout of the house. Song Lier also followed behind and guessed: "The room opposite Manniang is for the guys, and Uncle Qian's house is a separate room, living next door to Manniang." The shopkeeper's family lived in the courtyard next to it. ”

Jiang Zhu walked around to the window where he crawled out of the Manniang house, and there was nothing else to be found on the ground.

"Is Manniang the capital that she only arrived in today?" Jiang Zhu asked.

"I don't know." Song Li'er recalled that in what Manniang told her, she did not mention when she arrived in the capital: "But listening to her words, I felt that I should have arrived in the past two days, and Xie Mansion should not have asked." ”

"Go back and rest early, it's not too early." There are no other clues if you continue to ask, and now Manniang is still asleep, and she will have to ask things clearly tomorrow if she doesn't say anything: "Manniang will let people guard it." ”

"Okay." Jiang Zhu is doing things safely, and Song Lier is at ease.

"The wound is not easy to examine." Entering the house, Chen Xueqing was frowning. He has always checked the bodies of the deceased, but now that Man Niang is only injured, Chen Xueqing can't get that hand.

"It's okay, you should be able to find out by asking Manniang tomorrow. Let's all go back and rest now, and come back tomorrow. At this time, Jiang Zhu was not in a hurry. I was worried that Song Lier said that Manniang was just a liar, but now it seems that there is indeed someone.

They all went home, washed up a little, went to bed, and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Song Lier received a report from Ah Zhong, saying that Manniang had woken up.

Song Lier hurriedly changed her clothes and went to Song Wanjing's courtyard to call him, and found that the person had gone out early.

"Where are you going so early in the morning?" Li Shi watched one after another and hurriedly went out, not even having time to eat breakfast.

"A-Niang, I'll come back and tell you. I'm having something going on right now. Song Li'er lifted the hem of her skirt, followed by Xiguo, and hurriedly ran to Fu'an Hall.

Man Niang was half lying on the bed, and her body looked a little thinner than yesterday. Song Li'er told Xiguo to let her prepare some nutritious food for Manniang, otherwise how could this body and bones get better.

Song Li'er saw that Manniang's eyes had been nailed to her body, and then looked at Jiang Zhu and the others, as if they hadn't asked anything yet. Song Li'er sat at the head of the bed, took Manniang's hand, and said comfortingly: "Manniang, don't be afraid, this is Jiang Zhu, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, next to him is the master of Dali Temple, and also my brother Song Wanjing, standing next to me is Chen Xueqing and my friend." Because of what happened to you last night, ask today. ”

Man Niang nodded.

Song Li'er gave Jiang Zhu a look.

"Man Niang, when did you enter the capital?" Jiang Zhu asked.

"The day before yesterday." Man Niang's voice was very weak, as if she was gone without paying attention: "After I entered the city, I went directly to Xie Mansion, but I was dressed in tatters, and I was driven away as soon as I arrived at the door." When I saw that there was a white business going on inside, I was so worried that I wanted to go in. The gatekeepers didn't let me live or die, even if I said that I was the Manniang of my Zhou Mansion, no one would help me report it. Ahem~"

"It's okay, don't worry." Song Lier held Manniang's hand and signaled her not to worry.

"Did you meet anyone after that?" Jiang Zhu continued to ask.

"Yes, dressed in green clothes, with clusters of small flowers embroidered on it. At first, I thought it was someone's lady, but I didn't expect it to be a servant. Man Niang recalled.

"What did she tell you?" Jiang Zhu asked.

"I didn't say anything, just give me some money and get me out of here." Man Niang covered her chest, and her face became a little pale.

"You're lying." Jiang Zhu scolded.
