Ji Ketian and Lian Yan came out of Zhang Er's house, and met a woman, a woman dressed as a village woman, and when she saw the two of them coming out of Zhang Er's house, she felt strange, and hurriedly asked in her throat:

"Who are you two? Why is it at my cousin's house? ”

When Ji Ketian heard the woman say that Zhang Er was her cousin, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked:

"What do you mean? Zhang Er is your cousin, what about others? We're in a hurry with him! "It's urgent.

The woman looked them up and down, the two of them were gorgeously dressed, and they didn't look like Zhang Er's friends at all, so she asked suspiciously:

"Are you looking for Zhang Er? What's the matter with him? Besides, how do I know who you are, and why should I tell you where he is? ”

"That's the case, we were sent by the government, he ......" Ji Ke pointed to the lotus death, "He, he is fast, I ...... I'm his sister-in-law, we are here this time to investigate the murder of the maid of the Jin Dynasty's mansion, we just want to find Second Brother Zhang to understand the situation, this sister-in-law, you can do it conveniently! After speaking, he took off a jade bracelet from his hand, put it on the woman's hand, patted her arm, and smiled slightly, "Show us the way, take us to find Second Brother Zhang!" ”

Lian Yan watched Ji Ke's every move from the side, and couldn't help but want to laugh a little, this woman is simply a ghost clever, at this time, she still knows how to buy Zhang Er's cousin!

The woman looked at the jade bracelet in her hand, and was overjoyed, and hurriedly hid it in her sleeve, but then she frowned and said, "I said girl, it's not that the eldest sister doesn't take you to find my brother, it's that you are late...... My poor brother committed suicide by throwing himself into the river the day before yesterday! ”

"What?" Their eyes widened at the same time.

"Dead?" Lian Yan couldn't believe the woman's words, "This eldest sister, didn't you take something and try to trick us again, right?" ”

As soon as the woman heard Lian Yan's words, she hurriedly hid the sleeve with the jade bracelet behind her:

"This sister said just now, you are from the government, I am a country woman, where do you dare to deceive the people of the government! My hapless brother really committed suicide by throwing himself into the river the day before yesterday! ”

Ji Ke leaned up and down at the woman, feeling that her appearance was very sincere, not like she was lying.

"This eldest sister, since this is the case, can you take us to see Second Brother Zhang's body? Maybe he has any grievances, we, as people from the government, can also help him avenge his grievances, and you don't want Second Brother Zhang to die in vain. "Send it to you.

"You can't see it, my brother is already buried!" The woman looked at the two of them with pity.

"What!" It's so infuriating!

"Why didn't you report it to the government for an unnatural death?" Lian Yan asked the woman seriously.

Ji Ketian looked at the appearance of the lotus death, and there was a little bit of a quick tone.

Second cousin Zhang was so frightened by Lian Yan that she almost fell to the ground, hurriedly took two steps back, and cried and shouted: "The eldest lord spares his life, where do we know so much in this rural place, people are already dead, we just want him to be buried as soon as possible, where would we think that his death would be related to the case in the palace!" Countrymen like us don't dare to think like this in this life! ”

When Lian Yan heard this, he felt that this seemed to be the truth, so he looked at Ji Ketian.

At this time, Ji Ke stared intently at this woman who claimed to be Zhang Er's cousin: they found Zhang Er, and came to Zhang Er's hometown to find someone, this woman appeared and claimed to be Zhang Er's cousin, as soon as she said that she was looking for someone, this woman said that Zhang Er committed suicide, and as soon as she said that she looked at the corpse, the woman said that she was buried, which is too coincidental.

Look at the woman's appearance again, although she is wearing coarse cloth clothes, but what she said just now is orderly, although she has always claimed to be a countryman, but she can't see where she looks like a countryman!

Moreover, the ordinary people in small places generally talk about the change of color in the official mansion, this woman, not only is not afraid of the two of them from the official mansion, but also her eyes lit up after receiving her gift, and it is obvious that she has recognized that the jade bracelet is invaluable.

Although he found out that there was a problem with the woman, Ji Ketian didn't say it explicitly, just leaned on Lian Yan's ear and whispered: "This woman has a problem, find someone to stare at her, let's go back first!" ”

Lian Yan nodded, not making a sound.

The two returned to the capital and asked Lian Yan to deliberately release the news of Zhang Er's death!

returned to the palace and went to find Li Decheng.

"What? He's dead? Still suicidal? How is this possible? Li Decheng was shocked after listening to the relay.

Li Decheng glanced at Ji Ke's face, that look was a little curious, a little inquisitive, after all, it is not a woman to investigate such a thing, let alone a princess.

"Why can't it be?" Ji Ketian discovered the abnormality on Li Decheng's face.

"The slave thinks that this Zhang Er is very likely to be the one who raped Qiao'er's girl!"

"How? If Zhang Er was really the one who raped Qiao'er, then why did he commit suicide by throwing himself into the river? Ji Ke poured out his doubts.

"The slave thought that he should have raped Miss Qiao'er first, and then killed her, and finally his conscience couldn't stand the torment, and then he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river!" Li Decheng analyzed.

At this time, Lian Yan suddenly recalled Qiao'er's corpse, and felt that something was wrong, Ji Ketian saw that Lian Yan was in a daze, and hurriedly approached her, saw a strange look in his eyes, pulled the corner of his clothes, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Lian Yan whispered in Ji Ke's ear:

"I think of Dongfang Qiao's corpse when I think of the autopsy at that time, it's a little strange!"

"What's strange?" It can be incomprehensible.

"Qiao'er was poisoned, but the other party's target was you, why did you rape her before the incident? How did the murderer know that Qiao'er would drink your chicken soup? If it is the same person who was raped and poisoned by Qiao'er, then only one thing can be analyzed, that is, the other party's target is not you, but Dongfang Qiao! Lian Yan explained.

Ji Ke opened his mouth suddenly, and his eyes lit up instantly: "I understand, that is to say, if Zhang Er is the one who raped Qiao'er, then he must have seen something and was killed!" If Zhang Er is not the one who raped Qiao'er, then he must be the one who poisoned and killed me, as long as we can prove whether Zhang Er is the one who raped Qiao'er, we can prove whether he is the murderer who wants to kill me! ”

Lian Yan nodded with satisfaction and added: "In short, what Li Desheng said just now, Zhang Er found out in conscience that he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, it is absolutely impossible, there is only one possibility for his death!" ”

"He kills, kills!" At this moment, the idea of sending a leaning is exactly the same as that of the lotus death!

Coupled with the many performances of Zhang Er's cousin, then Zhang Er's death must not be simple!

But Li Decheng still doesn't agree with their ideas:

"Niangniang, I still think that Zhang Er is the one who raped Qiao'er, since his cousin said that he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, it must not be wrong!"

The corners of Ji Ke's mouth went up, and he didn't continue to argue with him
