"We just don't know about it." Su Mu quickly pulled out the things and hurriedly helped people, Lin Jian went to cover his heart, but felt that the sound of the pounding could no longer be hidden.

Perhaps, they stumbled upon the key evidence to solve the case.

The case will not be troublesome, and it can be determined to be homicide from the moment the cause of death is known.

And what she desperately wants to stay behind is naturally the most important.

This thing is not unusual, and it is seen every day.

"You say, what do you mean by Xiangwu leaving these mulberry confetti?" Lin Jian unfolded all three groups, and took them and compared them with the paper on the bookcase repeatedly. Although the facts are right in front of me, it really feels a bit headless and brainless.

"Paper can be used for many purposes, it can be used for writing, rubbing. But the most natural is to write. Su Mu also looked at a few small paper balls, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Didn't we talk about it at that time, where did Xiangwu read the horse character?" Maybe it's not so peculiar, it's just on paper. ”

"On paper?" Lin Jian shook his head suddenly, "That's right, but the words on paper are too general." And this is something she desperately left behind, presumably related to the case. ”

"Xiangwu never reads, right?" Su Mu asked again.

"Well, yes." Lin Jian nodded, hoping that Su Mu would come to a new conclusion. He was a mess of his own head, and he couldn't remember anything in front of him.

Su Mu looked at him and didn't speak, and finally lowered his gaze, "If it's not a book, it may be letters, papers, lamps, and other things that haven't been thought of for a while." ”

These are still space-bound, Lin Jian bit the fine flesh on his lips, and was about to remind, but Su Mu followed closely and analyzed, "The words of the lamp are the most unlikely, and the lanterns in the house generally do not have inscriptions." Unless it is used as a festival or prayer. She couldn't reach the paperwork, and my father and I didn't find anything ......."

"Don't talk too much, let's look for it, it stands to reason that three such heavy scratches are not difficult to find." Lin Jian said that he was about to go through it, but when he thought of Su Mu's difficulty, he still paused, "What did you mean just now, that the letter is the most likely?"

"It may be so, but it cannot be confirmed. At present, the only way to solve the doubt is to find out where the confetti came from. ”

Su Mu replied slowly, and sat up straight after putting the evidence away. Lin Jian's hand was completely withdrawn, "On the side of the paperwork, you should read it yourself." ”

After saying this, Su Mu still stared at this side, Lin Jian couldn't bear it anymore, and he spoke, "This case has not been reported to the official, so some teachers are unknown." ”

"The teacher is unknown?" Lin Jian was reminded like this, and then he realized that he was involved in a strange circle. First, he was anxious when it came to Xiangwu, and secondly, during the period of time he stayed in the academy, he was already used to following Su Mu to control most of the case.

"In addition to this, the key is that this thing still happened in the house, which is different from the outside." Su Mu said it and was a little unbearable, and hurriedly added, "I know what the accident in Xiangwu means to you, but you can't think about nothing." ”

Immediately afterwards, Lin Jian's eyes turned a little red, and Su Mu said in his heart that he had said something serious, so he hurried to hug someone, but he was also ready to be pushed away.

However, the expected blow did not fall on his shoulder, Su Mu looked down and saw that this person was already nestled obediently in his arms like a kitten, "If it was before, I may still have a lot of grievances." But now, how can there be. First, I know your personality very well, and I understand your hard work. Moreover, I have been reminding myself all the time in the past few days that you have experience in solving cases, and what you put forward is the result of careful consideration. And I have to calm down so that I don't help and Xiangwu can get snow as soon as possible. ”

"It doesn't have to be so hard, I understand." Su Mu leaned over and rubbed his chin, and the pain in his eyes made him sink too.

After a long time, Lin Jian said a sentence, "Then let's go and discuss with my father and mother tomorrow, so that we can investigate the case, okay." ”

Su Mu responded by kissing him, and he glanced out, only to realize that the night had fallen.

On the second day, Lin Jian came out of the main courtyard, and before he could take a few steps, he couldn't help but pull Su Mu's sleeve, "Do you think everyone was weird just now." ”

"What's weird?" Su Mu replied stiffly.

"My father and mother agreed to the investigation, but there is nothing strange about it. It is estimated that my mother came to visit that day, and it should have been discussed in advance. It's just that I don't know if you noticed, but when I spoke, they all looked at me. ”

"What have I done lately?" Lin Jian was almost so anxious that he jumped to his feet. He had planned to go home first to see what there was going on, so as to guess what Xiangwu wanted to say that night. But at the moment, it seems that the most important thing is to investigate the scene of the crime and the people in the house, and there must be no mistakes.

It's not that he thinks too much, but ...... That strange atmosphere was almost like a substance, until it came out and was blown by the wind, Lin Jian could still feel the embarrassment all over his body.

Being looked at by such a pair of bright eyes, Su Mu had no choice but to lose, and he knew that he couldn't hide it for too long, so he simply said.

"The pregnancy before is now broken."

"Oh, it's nothing." Lin Jian waved his hand as if he didn't care, but only halfway through the wave, he stopped, "When did it happen?" Did I say that I missed my mouth? It was because I didn't have time to pull the cloth towel and stuff it, so I was able to see the clues. So what now? Wouldn't it make them rejoice in vain? And my identity, it's not revealed. ”

These words were so urgent and fast that Su Mu didn't know how to answer for a while. Lin Jian didn't wait for him to answer, and comforted herself, "I didn't say anything about pregnancy in the first place. I just threw up for a while, and they thought too much about it. ”

"Yes, we've never made any cover-ups." Su Mu also nodded solemnly.

At this moment, Lin Jian was amused.

However, this ease could only last for a short time, and soon, Lin Jian couldn't laugh. Because the two of them have already arrived at the scene of the crime.

All the servants of the Su Mansion lived in the backyard, and the houses of the family and the girls were separated by only a wall.

Because of the winter, the courtyard is even more empty, except for the steps, there is only a row of low houses.

Xiangwu and Xiangling lived together, two wooden beds, separated by a simple screen.

The rest are just simple furnishings, and they don't look much different from the other rooms, just smaller and cramped.

However, Lin Jian only turned around, and found something different, where he was at the door under the window, he found a drop of blood.

When I squatted down and looked carefully, I found that it was not a drop, but as many as four or five places, long and connected into a line. Some are round, some are thin and flat, and they are always irregular.

Su Mu came over to explain to him, "This kind of bloodstain proves that the murder weapon was thrown out after being stained with blood, and if you hold it in your hand and don't move, you can't shake it off for such a long time." ”

What couldn't be concealed under the wide eyes was the despair that was difficult to speak, and Lin Jian trembled with anger when he thought of that scene, "Then can you assume that this blood was left when Xiangwu's tongue was scratched." She struggled desperately, and the murderer couldn't control it, so she threw the murder weapon out, leaving such blood stains. ”

Moreover, the cause of death was not blood loss but death from exhaustion. Perhaps she was about to call for help, but her tongue was inconvenient, her voice was muffled and terrifying, and the killer was in pain to avoid alarming the others. ”

Why the tongue?

The answer is simple.

Without a tongue, naturally you can't speak.

It's just paper in the middle of your fingernails, how can you explain it?

And what's the connection?

The most urgent task at the moment is to be tried.

However, the two of them still carefully searched this place, Lin Jian was still squatting in the corner, but Su Mu called him over, "Find Dr. Lin to see what kind of herbs these are." ”

Herbs? Lin Jian ran over and found that there was a pile of leaves scattered on the bed, Su Mu was half-lying on it, his right arm stretched out from the gap, and after a while, he fished out some more.

Angelica, safflower, motherwort, Lin Jian easily identified some of them, and pointed them out to Su Mu one by one.

"How did Jane know this?" Su Mu went to wipe the ashes on his hands, Lin Jian was a little weak when he was stared at, and hurriedly waved his hand, "It's just a fluke that I know a few, most of them don't recognize, I guess I saw it from somewhere, I forgot it myself." ”

"Why didn't I know that Ah Jian still reads medical books?" Su Mu chased after him.

"Gee, I promise I won't look at those things again." Lin Jian laughed a few times dryly, and said, "Anyway, I don't have the courage to really refine any pills, I just watched it and enjoyed it." It's not completely unbeneficial, at least I know a lot of herbs.

"Hmm." Su Mu didn't say anything more after answering, and instead found a cloth towel to wrap things up. Lin Jian stood aside a little embarrassed, at this moment, he really remembered Su Mu's reaction when he saw his treasure jars, it was just as scary as now.

In addition to these, until half an hour later, the two had no other gains, so they had to take a cloth towel and go to Dr. Lin.

He has a small courtyard in Su Mansion, and the daylight is not bad, and when they arrive, they see people reading books under the eaves, and the whole person looks warm.

Lin Jian unconsciously avoided a little farther away, and the other party smiled but didn't say anything, but when he took a look at the cloth towel, he raised his head and looked this way.

"Have any of you sprained? Come into the house and I'll show you. It's probably because the little boy jumped up and down again and hurt himself. ”

Lin Jian dodged before the other party caught him, and then shouted unconvinced, "What's wrong with these herbs?" Does it have anything to do with sprains?"

"It's a medicine that invigorates blood and dispels blood stasis, what are you doing with it?" Lin Jian's dodge just now was not slow, it didn't look like he was injured.

As for Su Mu next to him, he didn't speak until now, and only now did he add, "We found this medicine in Xiangling and Xiangwu's room." ”

As soon as they were mentioned, the atmosphere became solemn, Su Mu and Lin Jian didn't say anything to each other, but Dr. Lin's face changed instantly.

"What's wrong?" Lin Jian was a little surprised.

"What's wrong!"

Lin Jian stood next to him, so startled by this sound that he almost wanted to cover his ears, he had never seen the other party so excited since he could remember.

"These are all medicines that invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, and Xiang Ling is pregnant, if it is misused, it will definitely be bad."

On weekdays, Lin Jian often has to trouble people, and now that he has been bumped into, he is naturally a good advice.

Lin Jian walked a little fluttering when he came out, and he forgot the words of Old Man Lin, and only remembered what he said to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis.

Xiang Ling hid the medicine under the bed for fear of being detected by another person who lived in the same place, which was reasonable. But now that she is pregnant, as long as she uses some strength, it is not difficult to live in the West Courtyard. Why did you kill this child?" Lin Jian muttered unconsciously, "Unless ......"

"Unless the child is not liked, she also feels hopeless." Su Mu took it, and Lin Jian shook his head even more, "No, according to Xiangling's strength, she is not a person who is easy to say and let go, she is about to lose her support that day, and she has to stay there." Now that I have a child, I naturally want to seize the opportunity. ”

So...... It's that the child's father is unwilling to accept it for some reason. Su Mu was in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it. He knew very well that for that younger brother, Lin Jian really didn't like it at the moment.
