At this moment, on the way back from Zhuangzi, I was passing through a village, and Lian Yan and Ji Ke were settled down to eat in a people's house.

The old woman warmly entertained them, "The two nobles use it slowly, and the coarse tea and light rice at home are only afraid that the two nobles will not be used to it." ”

"No, grandma, that's good."

Ji Ke poured a mouthful of pickles, and ate very satisfied, without any dislike.

After eating, Ji Ke leaned up. was about to go to the backyard to help the grandmother clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but as soon as he stepped into the backyard, a smell rushed into Ji Ke's nose.

This smell seems to be ......

Ji Ketian enthusiastically stepped forward to help the grandmother pack up her things, chatted with the grandmother, and quietly looked at the surrounding environment.

Looking at the smell, "Grandma, why is there a strange smell in this backyard?" ”

"Girl, you smell it too, I don't know what's going on these days? There was always a strange smell, and the neighbors complained several times, but I couldn't figure it out, thinking that it would disperse in a few days, but I didn't expect the smell to get stronger and stronger. ”

Observing the old woman's expression, he felt that she did not want to lie, so he asked, "Grandma, I see some men's clothes hanging outside the house, are they your son's?" ”

"The little lady is really careful, that's my son's, today he went to the town to buy things, and he won't go home until later."

After saying goodbye to the old grandmother, Ji Ketian's face was heavy, and he looked at the old grandmother who said goodbye to him with a smile, and his heart was a little mixed.

"Tilt, what's wrong, you just came out of the backyard, and you were worried."

"Lianyan, it looks like we have to go to the yamen."

"What?"

Ji Ketian told Lian Yan about his suspicions.

……

When he arrived at the Yamen, Ji Ketian told the county magistrate about his suspicions, but the county magistrate glanced at Ji Ketian in disbelief and was a little disdainful.

Subsequently, Lian Yan took out the gold medal that Xiao Jin gave to Ji Ke before leaving, so that it was convenient to send Ke Lean.

When the county magistrate saw it, he was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, breaking out in a cold sweat and trembling, "I don't know if the mother is coming, please forgive me." ”

Ji Ketian was too lazy to bother with the magistrate, so he said directly, "Send someone to the palace." The others remained in the yamen and waited for arrangement. ”

"Obey the order, the minister will go and arrange it."

Returning to the grandmother's house again, Ji Ketian instructed the officials not to be rough with the grandmother, and then waited in the carriage.

After a while, one of the officials came to report, "My lord, two bodies have indeed been exhumed, a man and a woman. The old lady fainted with fright. ”

"Lord Gao, let's go down with this palace and have a look."

disguised as Ji Ketian followed Master Gao into the backyard, looked at the corpse lying on the ground, and directly crossed Lord Gao to observe the corpse.

When Master Gao was about to stop it, he was stopped by a look from Lian Yan.

Ji Ketian touched the dirt and found that the deceased had some wounds on his neck, which were obviously wounded by a sharp sword, and the knife was fatal.

It seems that this person's kung fu is very high.

"My lord, I caught Li Si who wanted to escape."

Seeing that the official escorted Li Si in, Master Gao said angrily, "Li Si, you dare to commit murder in your house, and this official will definitely bring you to justice." ”

Li Si was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and kept shouting that he was wronged, wronged.

After reading it, Ji Ketian listened to Lord Gao's words and raised his eyebrows, "Lord Gao is really wise, how do you know that the murderer is Li Si?" ”

"The two criminals were found in Li Si's backyard, and there were only him and an old mother in the house, plus he was about to run away. Obviously, these two people were killed by Li Si. ”

Lian Yan looked at Master Gao with some idiocy, and was very disdainful in his heart, he didn't expect to be so hasty about the lawsuit against human life.

"Hmph, Lord Gao, the injuries on the bodies of the two deceased were wounded by sharp swords, and a sword sealed the throat, it can be seen that the murderer's martial arts are very strong, and Li Si is good at martial arts."

When the people around heard this, someone shouted loudly, "Li Si doesn't know martial arts." ”

"Lord Gao, you can see that Li Si's hands are hands that have been practicing martial arts all year round, and the nails of those hands are covered with mud," he said and grabbed Li Si's hand to show Master Gao, "Look, isn't this full of traces the result of farming, if you believe it, you can find someone here to compare, and if he is strong in martial arts, how can he be so easily caught by the officials?" ”

Ji Ketian's face became more and more cold, and every sentence hit the heart of the tall man, making the tall man unable to refute.

When the surrounding people heard this, they all nodded in praise.

"Yes, yes, but at your command."

"First bring the body back to the yamen, I will personally conduct an autopsy, and put Li Si in a prison to listen to interrogation, and then take Li Si's mother back to the yamen to take care of it."

Seeing that the official didn't react, "Don't hurry up and do it." ”

……

In the morgue at night, Lian Yan stood next to Ji Ke Tilt, looking at a person's own corpse, although he didn't want Ji Ke to touch these things in his heart, but because he knew her, he didn't speak, just watched from the side, and sometimes took a hand.

After everything was done, Ji Ke took off his gloves and washed his hands with water.

"How?"

"According to observations, the man had fought with people before his death, and the woman had only one wound on her body, which was obviously a one-stroke killing. The woman's skin was very well maintained during her lifetime, not at all like the hands of a poor lady who worked all year round, and the clothes of the two people today are made of relatively expensive materials, which shows that these two people should be rich businessmen. ”

"What else?"

Ji Ketian walked out of the morgue, and the two of them came to the courtyard together, "Don't you think you're missing something?" ”

Think about today's scene. Ji Ketian always felt as if he had missed something, but he didn't find it.

At this moment, Lian Yan laughed out loud, as if he had thought of it, and looked at Ji Ke with a confused face, how could he think that sometimes a very shrewd person would forget such an important thing.

"Looks like you've got it in mind."

Lian Yan smiled mysteriously and did not speak.

"Lian Yan, are you still playing dumb riddles at this time?"

Ji Ke glared at Lian Yan and pouted, slightly dissatisfied.

Lian Yan accepted it when he saw it, "But it can be tilted, where did the burden go?" ”

"That's right, I searched Li Si's house and fields today and didn't find any baggage, and there must be the identity documents of the husband and wife in the baggage."

"It seems that the burden was hidden by the murder, and the murder is so worried that we know the identity of the deceased, it seems that as long as we know this, the case can be solved."

Ji Ketian nodded approvingly.

I don't know why, Ji Ketian was faintly uneasy in his heart, thinking about the TV series he had watched before, and always felt that according to the development of the plot, the murderer would go to the cell at night tonight and threaten Li Si.

So, he told Lian Yan to go to the prison cell.
