Chapter 61: Cruel Methods

"How did you get this?"

Xie Xiaoer didn't answer immediately, he looked left and right first, and then pulled Qu Youying to sit down again.

"It was given to me by Yang Wan'er."

His voice was low and gloomy, and a slight cool breath sprayed on her face.

It's like a midnight ghost, and it's creepy.

"Yang Wan'er?" Qu Youying pushed him away a little uncomfortably, swallowed her saliva, and then asked, "How could she have this?" Why should it be given to you? And when was it given to you? ”

Xie Xiaoer sat down on the chair again, his tone was still cool and gloomy, his sexy lips closed one by one, and he spit out two words, "Last night." ”

"Last night?"

"After we left Lingnan Fang last night, I went home. When I returned to the house, I met Yang Wan'er. She seemed to be hiding from someone, very mysterious, and was startled when she saw me, and then she gave me the box and left. Unexpectedly, early this morning, the news of her disappearance came out. ”

"She didn't tell you why this is in her hands?"

"Nope." Xie Xiaoer shook his head regretfully, "If I hadn't been so sleepy at the time, maybe there wouldn't have been an accident with her?" I was also cut off my tail finger, what a pain it must be! ”

When Qu Youying heard this, she shook her head, leaned back in her chair, and said, "I don't agree with this. ”

Xie Xiaoer blinked and asked, "Why?" ”

"My aunt told me that the biggest reason why Taiwei thought that Yang Wan'er had an accident was because of the amputated finger. But even if it is a similar severed finger, it is impossible to conclude that it is my own. Just like the spliced bones, if you don't study the white bones, you can't see the abnormality. ”

"So you don't think that tail finger belongs to my daughter?"

Suddenly, the voice of the captain came from outside, and the two people inside were startled at once.

Xie Xiaoer reacted quickly, closed the box, and hid under the bed.

Qu Youying saw that he was hiding well, so she went to open the door.

Outside, in addition to Taiwei, there are also Master Xie and Thirteen Chuan.

Seeing Thirteen Chuan, Qu Youying couldn't help but cringe a little.

"Captain, Uncle Xie." Qu Youying didn't hear what she said just now, and greeted with a smile, "Why are you here?" ”

"Master Xie and I passed by here, and when we heard you talking, we came over to take a look."

Taiwei's words can be regarded as fake, they can't be faked anymore, there are many roads outside the courtyard here, he can hear it, how strong is the martial arts?

But Qu Youying and Xie Xiaoer still cooperated with him to do enough and invited the two to sit down in the flower hall.

After the next person served tea and snacks, the captain spoke.

"Qu Youying."

Qu Youying, who was waiting on the side, immediately stepped forward and replied with low eyebrows, "The folk girl is here." ”

"I heard you say just now that you don't think that tail finger is my daughter, but are you completely sure?"

Qu Youying smiled slightly and said, "The folk girl has learned the art of making since she was a child, and she has a certain understanding of white bones. The captain only needs to show the severed finger to the people's daughter, and he will know. ”

"Okay."

Taiwei glanced at Thirteen Chuan, who quickly sent someone to fetch it.

After a while, the guard came over with a box and handed it to Thirteen Chuan.

He took the box, walked to the flower hall, and placed it on the table.

When leaving, he glanced at Qu Youying, his eyes were gloomy, and he didn't say anything.

Qu Youying was a little afraid of him, and waited for him to leave before she stepped forward to open the box.

The box was the size of a palm, and inside lay a slender little finger, which was cut off entirely.

"What was left in Wan'er's room at that time was this box, and there was a bloody severed finger in the box."

Such a bloody severed finger, others didn't want to touch it, but Qu Youying was fine, and picked it up with his bare hands, and the disgusting Xie Xiaoer trembled for a while, and was glared at fiercely by his father.

Qu Youying took the severed finger and studied it carefully, and said after a while.

"Captain, this little finger will not be broken for more than two days, the blood at the wound is fresh, and the bones under the skin and flesh are sensitive, which is a sign that it has only been broken for a short time. So when did Miss Yang break her finger? ”

"The old injury, for a year, missed the best treatment, so it could not be fully recovered, and from the outside, it was slightly deformed."

"That's right." Qu Youying continued to explain with a smile, "After the fracture, due to the damage to the joint capsule and ligaments, the joint will be stiff, and after a long time, it will stiffen. ”

"No wonder I didn't look at her little finger before, so it was!"

Xie Xiaoer opened his mouth instinctively, but he was glared at by Master Xie again, and he immediately pursed his lips and stopped talking.

"Are you sure?"

Taiwei still had some doubts, Qu Youying nodded.

But he still didn't fully believe it, but glanced at Thirteen Chuan.

Just when Qu Youying was curious about what he was going to do, he saw Thirteen Chuan walking up to a guard.

Qu Youying recognized the guard, the one who stopped her when she entered the mansion today.

I saw that Thirteen Chuan asked him to put his hand on the ground, and then directly smashed his tail finger with the hilt of his sword.

The man didn't say a word, but Qu Youying was so frightened that she took a step back.

Taiwei's face did not change, and he said to Thirteen Chuan, "Compare." ”

"Yes."

Thirteen Chuan took the severed finger in Qu Youying's hand, and then groped and compared with the guard's severed finger.

"Captain Yu, it's the same."

After receiving such an affirmation, a slight smile appeared on the captain's face.

He looked at Qu Youying's expression and was very satisfied.

"It's worthy of Xin Niang's daughter, good, very good!"

Taiwei kept praising him, but Qu Youying couldn't laugh.

She looked at the guard who had been severed alive, frowned very tightly, and walked straight out in vain of the captain's praise.

She snapped two finger-length branches, walked over to the guard, and fixed his fingers.

"You go to the hospital quickly, your finger is broken, there is still hope for healing, go quickly."

She urged, but the guards looked at her and were indifferent.

"How did you—"

Before she finished speaking, she was stopped by Xie Xiaoer.

Xie Xiaoer glanced at her, meaning that without the order of the Taiwei here, even if they died, they would not be able to leave.

"That's power."

Xie Xiaoer whispered to her and pulled the person back.

Qu Youying knew that Xie Xiaoer's eyes on power and the like were much clearer than her.

But despite this, she still couldn't watch it, just to verify, let a person cut off his finger alive.

What if today it was not a finger, but a pair of legs and a pair of hands?

Is the captain going to ruin a person too?

She bowed her head sullenly, and felt a little self-reproach in her heart.

Xie Xiaoer helped her in, sighed slightly, and looked up to say to the captain.

"Taiwei, Xiaoying, she has been soft-hearted since she was a child, that's why she did what she did just now, and I ask you to forgive her once."

"It's not her fault." Taiwei smiled slightly, his expression restrained, "Thirteen Chuan, ask someone to send him to the hospital for treatment." ”

Qu Youying was not happy because of this, because she knew that Taiwei wanted to ask her more things, not really kind.

But she still held back the displeasure in her heart and thanked the captain.

"Don't stand, there's no outsider here, let's all sit!"

Qu Youying sat down reluctantly, and Xie Xiaoer sat beside her, for fear that she would be stimulated and do something irreparable.

After a long silence, it was the captain who broke the silence.

"Since the other party left this thing, it must be to make a mess of us. But I'm glad to have you! The lieutenant was very pleased, "Since you can identify the bones, is there a way to find out who the owner of this severed finger is?" ”

Qu Youying shook her head, shook off the small waves just now, and returned her thoughts to the topic.

She said with a serious face, "This is like a human bone, and there is no way to determine whose it is." But since the other party has made such a big move, it must be more than just such a truncated finger. ”

"Do you think there's more?"

"Perhaps, I don't know. This kind of thing should be investigated by the government, and I will only conduct an autopsy. ”

"Official, Mujing Candle." Taiwei held the teacup in his hand, groped his thick fingers on the wall of the cup, and said for a long time, "Thirteen Chuan, go to the prefect and county office, and ask Mu Jingzhu to take full charge of this matter." ”

Qu Youying frowned, and immediately retorted, "Tai Wei, Jing Zhu is investigating the matter of the white bones at the moment, if you are distracted, I am afraid-"

"There's nothing strange about the bones. The official has sent someone to find out that Xilin's place used to be a village, but then it got the plague and all died. It's just an accidental discovery. The matter of white bones, after a few days to find an excuse, they will all be burned. Now we must find the official's daughter, this is the first thing! ”

Taiwei's sudden tough tone, as well as his words, made Qu Youying and Xie Xiaoer both startled, and the two glanced at each other and understood.

Qu Youying stood up and arched her hand to the captain.

"Captain, please rest assured, the folk girl will definitely cooperate with Jing Zhu to go all out, and she will definitely help find Miss Yang."

The lieutenant was very satisfied with her attitude, "They are all good boys, and when you find the murderer who captured Wan'er, this official will definitely reward you a lot." ”

"Thank you, Captain." Qu Youying smiled, "Taiwei, the people's daughter is going to the yamen later, why don't you let the people's daughter do the work for you?" ”

The lieutenant nodded, and she didn't stay any longer, and offered her farewell.

Xie Xiaoer saw that she was going to run, so he immediately followed on the pretext of sending her.

Qu Youying saw that he was also following, looked around vigilantly, and then lowered his voice to speak.

"You thought the Captain's reaction was strange just now, didn't you? first controlled the bones in the abandoned house, and now he said that he would burn them all, judging from his words, it is a lie at all. ”

"You doubt the White Bone, and he knows the truth?"

"If you don't know, then he shouldn't be here to guard the bones of the abandoned house, even if he wants to borrow someone to help us solve the case, he will be the main force of the yamen, not even you and I can't go there."

Qu Youying didn't suspect Taiwei, but today's conversation made her feel more and more suspicious of this person.

"So be it! Xie Xiaoer, you go to the yamen to inform Su ...... No, it's Jing Candle, telling him to cooperate with the captain to find Yang Wan'er. I'll go home first, and I'll see you in Shenshi Ziyouge. ”

"Okay."

They made a decision, and the soldiers split into two ways.

Qu Youying hurried to Qu Mansion, because she was afraid of being caught by Qu Qingyang, so she went through the back door every time she went back.

The alleys are so narrow that no one passes by them day or night.

But today, when she passed, she smelled a smell of blood from afar, and then saw a person sitting under a big tree at the door.

She thought it was a bad person, so she didn't dare to get closer, so she went back a little farther away.

But she couldn't help but glance over there curiously, and then the whole person froze.

"Jing Candle!"
