Chu Jiu sat against the wall, picked up the straw on the ground and played with it, at this time she had tears in her eyes, and thought to herself: Is she really so unlucky? I took the money saved by my mother and went down the mountain and lost it, and then I owed ten taels to others. accompanied Miss Zhang to get married, and encountered robbers and was almost beaten half to death. Until now, he kindly picked up the handkerchief and returned it to the owner, but he was regarded as a murderer in a murder case. "Mother! Why am I so unlucky? Chu Jiu grabbed his head with both hands and shouted.

At this time, the guards outside the door fainted one by one.

Suddenly, the door of the ninth day of the first month was opened.

Twilight was swaggering in.

"Chao Daxia!" Chu Jiu was like seeing a savior, she cried so much that she cried with pear blossoms and rain, "Chao Daxia, you really have to believe me, I really didn't kill anyone!" Today, almost every time she sees someone, she has to shout loudly for help.

Twilight threw her a handkerchief in disgust, "Quickly wipe your tears." ”

"Well, thank you, Chao Daxia."

Chao Duxue looked at the surrounding environment, and then looked at the predicament of Chu Jiu at this time, he was very irritable, and he whispered: "I really don't look at you for a while, and something will happen." ”

"What did you say?" Chu Jiu didn't listen to what Qing Dynasty Duxue said.

"Come in!" Twilight shouted to Twilight, and a woman came in from outside.

Chu Jiu raised his eyes and saw that this woman actually looked exactly like her.

"Master." Chu Jiu was a little puzzled when he saw this woman's respectful appearance towards the court.

"You're not going with me!"

Chu Jiu looked left and right, and suddenly realized that Chao Daxia was talking to him. She walked up to Chao Daxia, "Chao Daxia, I'm going with you, isn't it just absconding in fear of crime?" ”

Twilight said speechlessly, "Do you want to die or do you want to die?" ”

"Why are the two choices just death?"

Twilight Xue didn't want to hear her say more, so he immediately lifted Chu Jiu to his shoulders.

"Put me down, put me down, where do you want to take me?" Chao Duxue couldn't hear Chu Jiu's shout, "Chao Duxue! ”

Finally, Twilight Snow let her down and lit her dumb hole when Chu Jiu didn't have time to react. "What, don't you call me Chao Daxia?" He pinched Chu Jiu's little face, and the corners of his mouth lifted.

"Squeak-" The outside door was pushed open again, followed by footsteps.

Twilight immediately pulled Chu Jiu into the shadows, and they saw the man walk into the cell where Chu Jiu had just come out.

The man was very puzzled why the people in the cell were unconscious, he kicked the "Chu Jiu" lying on the ground, and saw that the person did not react, so he took out a dagger with exquisite patterns from his arms.

Pull out the scabbard, the blade is extremely sharp. The man seemed to hesitate for a moment, but in the end, he still stabbed "Chu Jiu" to death.

His hand trembled slightly, he took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off the knife, and then walked away without looking back.

Chu Jiu was a little scared, so he didn't look over his head and couldn't bear to see this scene.

Just as the man walked out of the door of the cell, the sunlight shining in from the window hit his face, allowing the two people hiding in the shadows to see the appearance of the murderer.

It's him! Chu Jiu was shocked, and clutched the clothes of Chao Duxue beside him, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Chao Duxue held Chu Jiu's hand tightly, "Don't be afraid, I won't let him hurt you in the slightest." He unlocked the dumb hole of the ninth year.

Chu Jiu didn't hear it, she was most concerned about the girl who looked like her at this time, she ran in and saw the corpse lying there, her voice trembled, "Dead ......"

Twilight stepped forward and kicked the corpse, "Get up!" Everyone's gone! ”

Suddenly, the female corpse moved.

Chu Jiu was so frightened that he hid behind Chao Duxue.

The female corpse tore open her face, and a charming little face was revealed, it was Yin Xuanhong, and she said complainingly: "Teach ...... Well, really, I do every dirty work! ”

She ...... She's not dead? Chu Jiu stretched out his head and looked at Yin Duanhong.

Yin Duanhong took off her coat, and inside were some bloody animal entrails, and she threw them away in disgust.

"What if he didn't stab his body just now, but wiped his neck?" The ninth day of the first month raised questions.

"He dares! If he dares to smear a knife on my beautiful neck, then I will kill him directly! Yin Duanhong gritted his teeth, and his beautiful face showed a vicious gaze.

Chu Jiu shrank his shoulders in fright when he heard the cruel words of the beauty.

****** ******

"Situ catches the head, the front is where I found the body." Jia Ding pointed to the small lake not far ahead. "I was going to come to the lake after lunch to clean up the fallen leaves, but I found the female corpse lying on the lake's edge."

"Were there any other talents nearby at the time?" Situ asked head-hunting.

"No, it's just the small one, maybe because it was noon, and everyone in the house was enjoying lunch."

At this moment, Tu Su arrived without tears, he ignored the two and walked to the lake alone.

The outer edge of the lake is planted with large trees, so the fallen leaves are swept every day, but there is a 10-meter stretch of road that is empty and nothing is planted. When Tu Su walked to this place without tears, he suddenly felt a little strange, because there were no trees planted in this place, and it was a little far from the nearby trees, so it stands to reason that there should not be so many fallen leaves. So, he swept away the fallen leaves with his feet, and faintly found some dark blood stains. "Situ!"

Situ Zhutou immediately trotted over when he heard the sound, "This is blood!" He hooked his fingers, told the servant to come over, and then commanded, "Sweep away the fallen leaves!" ”

In response, the family picked up the broom in his hand and swept away the fallen leaves, and sure enough, a large blood stain was hidden in the soil.

Since the ground has not been paved with tiles, it is still a large piece of dirt, and the blood sprinkled on it can only flow into the dirt, and it cannot be wiped away at all. They found that a small piece of dirt near the blood stain had been dug up, probably because the murderer wanted to dig up the blood-mixed soil, but found that there were too many to dig up, so they gave up and instead collected fallen leaves from the nearby ground and spread them on top to cover it up a little.

"Situ, how did that female corpse die just now?"

"The female corpse is very clean all over the body, there is no bloodstain, I only glanced at it a few times, there are obvious strangulation marks on the neck of the female corpse, and I infer that the preliminary cause of death is strangulation, but the specific cause of death can only be known after the Yamen's examination." Situ replied.

"Then the bloodstains here are ......?"

Situ Zhutou immediately picked up Tu Su's tearless words, "The real scene of the old hall master's murder!" ”

"Seeing the blood stains on the dirt shows that it took some time after the murderer killed to react and dispose of the body, which is why the blood flowed so much."

And he was a little flustered, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed to grab the dirt with his hands. But so much time has passed since the crime, and the murderer may have cleaned the dirt from his fingernails. ”

"Wait!" Tu Su suddenly remembered a person without tears, and his fingernails were indeed a little dirty. It can't be his. He was shocked but incredulous.

Situ Zhutou saw Tu Su's tearless thoughtful appearance, as if he was a little frowning, and he asked nervously, "What did you find?" ”

"Nothing, I should have thought wrong." Tu Su waved his hand without tears, but he still thought about that person in his heart. He suddenly remembered that when he came to congratulate him yesterday, he was accompanied by the girl Fluttershy, who was wearing a pink dress, and he himself praised her for dressing in good spirits. "Situ, I still have some things, I want to go to the wing room in the backyard to find my mother, and I don't know if today's incident has disturbed her."

"Okay, I understand, my subordinates and I will go around the mansion to see if we can find any other clues, and then we will go back to the yamen to find the results of the autopsy of the female corpse."

Tu Su patted Situ Zhutou's shoulder without tears, "It's hard work Situ." ”

After Situ Zhutou and the subordinates who came to find him left, the smile on Tu Suwu's tearless face instantly collapsed, he was very anxious at this time, he just wanted an answer, an answer that negated his inference and satisfied him.
