He informed Fu Cheng of the approximate results of the autopsy, and Fu Cheng simply drafted an official document and submitted it to the emperor for review.

Mo Dongqing chatted with the old lady for a while, and found out all the details of Bicao's brother-in-law.

This person was a vendor in a vegetable market on the outskirts of the city, and he had no name, but only a surname, so the surrounding neighbors called him Chen Butcher.

When she went, it was the evening market, and the people in the market came and went, and at a glance you could see the Chen butcher selling meat at the entrance.

Chen's stall was very simple, with a few rags to protect from the wind, and there was not even any action to repel flies.

An old broken wooden table was filled with red, white and white pork, and two pigs were circled next to it.

There are many shouting vendors around, but Chen Butcher just lowers his head and kills pigs and cuts meat by himself, without soliciting business.

Chen Butcher has a cold temperament, but he never shortens the scale when selling meat, and he does business realistically, so he also has a lot of regular customers.

Pian Zheng and Feng Yin walked ahead and stopped at the edge of his butcher's stall, and the Chen butcher paused the knife in his hand and raised his eyes to attract customers.

"What, buy meat?"

Chen Butcher Yu Guang saw Mo Dongqing and Thirteen following behind, they were still wearing fast hunting clothes.

It's too late, it's too soon.

He lifted the plank on the stall with one hand, turned his head and slammed into the door behind him, staggered and fell on his heels, and without saying a word, he got up and ran.

Wind reflexively covered his back in front of the kite, stopping the pieces of flesh that were tumbling down on her.

Mo Dongqing and Thirteen Twelve didn't say a word, and immediately chased after them.

Mercy Zheng reached out and shook his shoulder: "Are you hurt?" ”

Feng Yin shook his head, "No. ”

Thirteen and Mo Dongqing had already gone to chase after him, and Pian Zheng was not in a hurry to chase it herself, but hurriedly reached out to clean up the pieces of meat on Feng Yin's body.

"It's just a piece of meat, not a knife or a gun, why do you have to block it for me, no matter how delicate I am, I won't be like this."

Feng sighed: "Because the lady is already dirty, she must have to wash it for me to comfort me." ”

"Poor mouth." Pity Zheng glanced at him.

The following few trappers had already circled a clearing around them, trapping them in it.

Pity Kite plucked the meat foam from Feng Yin's back bit by bit and put it in the palm of his hand, and suddenly frowned.

Feng Yin re-lifted the wooden table that had been knocked down.

He kneaded the minced meat in his hand and set it on the table.

He picked up the pieces of meat from the ground, looked at them repeatedly, and took a deep breath.

"This meat seems to be the same as the golden pork when the gods were rewarded."

The pigs that had been frightened and ran away had been hunted down by the rappers, and the kiteers squatted down and looked at the pigs through the broken cage that had been trampled on a few times, two of which were slightly smaller than the other.

Judging from the color, it is indeed similar to the white pear pig in Beixian, but the size is much smaller.

"What breed is this pig?" He turned to a nearby vendor.

The small vendor was taken aback by such a big battle, and was picking up the stalls and preparing to call it a day.

The eyes of the surrounding catchers were projected directly, and he was even more panicked.

"Xiu...... Suckling pig ......" the vendor shrank back, "Your Excellency...... These are related to ...... I have nothing to do with ......."

"Don't be afraid, I just want to ask you, do you know what kind of pig can be mixed like a white pear pig, but the meat is fatter than the white pear pig, and the mouth and nose are slender, and the body is smaller."

The vendor shook his head and whispered, "I don't know, but there is a Zhao butcher at the end of the street, and he will probably know......"

"Thank you." He turned back to the catchers and ordered, "Go and ask for it immediately." ”

After a while, the catcher quickly found Zhao Butcher.

The catchers are in a hurry, he didn't even have time to wash the blood on his hands before he came.

Lian Zheng repeated the question, and the Zhao butcher twisted his eyebrows and replied: "This pig is a Xiu suckling pig, because there are fewer and fewer pig dealers in Xiudu City, but there are more and more businessmen, and the number of pig eaters has not decreased at all. ”

"Not everyone has the money to buy pork, but the suckling pig can."

"Why?" Pian Zheng asked humbly.

Feng Yin thought for a moment, frowned, and said, "Could it be because of the field outside Xiudu City?" ”

Zhao Butcher nodded, "Exactly." ”

Xiudu City is now a summer retreat for the saints, so it is natural to set up some ordinary places to ride and shoot and play, but because of this, not all the wild things that have been banished are all wiped out.

This suckling pig is most of the wild boars that breed on their own in the wild, due to various reasons such as size, hunters are easy to grasp and feed, and cross it with other kinds of pigs to create new breeds, which are easy to breed and feed.

"This kind of show suckling pig is headed by Xiudu City, and wild boars elsewhere can't raise this kind of show suckling pig, so this kind of pig is fragrant in Xiudu City, and the price is gradually more expensive than other pigs."

In short supply.

I understand this truth.

"Where do you pigs usually come from?"

Zhao Butcher thought for a while, and said in a rough voice: "There are several Orion houses on the outskirts of Xiudu, and the pigs of Widow Wang's family are the most. ”

At this time, Thirteen and Mo Dongqing had already captured Chen Butcher and returned.

Chen Butcher has been tied up in a ball.

"Don't catch quickly, you take a few capable acquaintances and follow Zhao Butcher to the pig farmer's house on the outskirts of the city, especially the widow's house, to find it, see if there is anything unusual, and then go back and forth."

Mo Dongqing had just come back from arresting Chen Butcher, and he couldn't tell what this had to do with the case.

He was stunned for a moment, scratched his face, and nodded to find a few catchers.

Thirteen took Chen Butcher to the official office.

When the pianji followed, the Chen butcher was locked up outside the interrogation cell, his hands and feet trapped on a chair and stool with ropes.

Butcher Chen was like a trapped beast, still struggling in vain.

He took a stool from behind him and sat in front of him.

Her face sank like water, her gentle eyes were a little soft, and she was as sharp as an eagle, hooking the god of Chen Butcher.

"Chen, you are guilty!" She snorted.

When Chen Butcher heard this, his eyes turned red like blood in an instant, "What a crime I have!" ”

Lian Zheng gently put it on the armrest, and said lightly: "Chen, murder is illegal, you will run away when you see the arrest, why don't you have a void in your heart?" ”

Hearing this, Butcher Chen raised his neck and smiled.

"Is there any evidence?" He raised his eyes and stared coldly at the kite.

"Thirteen." Pian Zheng turned around, and Thirteen was moved, and immediately stepped forward with a wooden box, took a wooden ruler, spread out the trapped hands of Chen Butcher, and measured them one by one.

Leaning back on the chair, one hand on the side, half-propped up her head, her eyes smiling.

"Did you know that human hands and human feet have different finger pitches and textures?" The kite dropped her eyelids.

"The marks on the people you killed are the best evidence."

Chen Butcher was taken aback, "Impossible! ”

"Why not, I caught several serial flower picking cases in Beixian County with this, and I just caught you alone, so what's the matter?"

Chen Butcher struggled with his fingers, desperately trying to keep Thirteen from aligning his fingers.

Thirteen scribbled the count, but the expression on his face was serious, and said: "It matches the traces on the deceased's body." ”

"You talk nonsense!" Butcher Chen's face suddenly turned red, "I didn't kill Li Heizi." ”

Mercy Zheng finally showed a smile: "Oh? I didn't talk about the Li Heizi case. ”

Chen Butcher's face changed, and he stared at Lian Zheng viciously, "You lied to me?" ”

"Why should I deceive you as a thief?" Pity Zheng stared at Thirteen steadily.

Thirteen continued to take off Butcher Chen's shoes, he covered his nose, took a deep breath outward, and then turned around and continued to take off Butcher Chen's shoes and socks, measuring them with a wooden ruler.

"The size of the foot is the same length as the bruise marks on the deceased Chen's body." Thirteen got the number and hurriedly withdrew.

The taste of this old butcher's feet is also greater.

Before Thirteen could get up, she saw Pian Zheng frowning, and Feng Yin, who was standing behind her, immediately glanced at Thirteen.

"......" Thirteen sighed secretly, so he had to turn his head and go back and rudely put on Chen Butcher's shoes and socks.

"Chen, I have a testimony that you went in and out of the home of the deceased Chen and his wife last month, and no one has seen Chen and his wife go in and out since then."

The testimony that Mo Dongqing got from his neighbor was written down in black and white, and it was already in the hands of the pityan at this moment.

Lian Zheng spread out the testimonies one by one, and said softly: "The neighbors have heard with their own ears that you have had a verbal dispute with the Chen couple in the courtyard, which proves that you have had conflicts and fights, and the quarrels are fierce, and the time coincides with the time of the deceased's death. ”

Chen Butcher's eyes were fierce.

Lian Zheng said again: "The motive and time for the murder are all right, plus the length of your feet and the footprints left at the scene, what excuse do you have to escape your murder charge." ”

"I didn't kill anyone." Butcher Chen lowered his head and hid the hatred in his eyes.

"Li Heizi and the Chen family were both killed by you alone, so this official will ask you one last time."

Lian Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, "Can you admit the crime of killing Bicao, Li Heizi, and the Chen couple?" ”

"I don't recognize it!" Chen Butcher raised his head suddenly, struggled hard, and shouted, "You are going to cure my sin!" ”

"Thirteen, bring the dog."

Thirteen turned and walked out of the prison door, and then led the dog that had been rescued from the low well of the City God Temple.

As soon as the dog saw the Chen butcher, he retreated again and again, barking incessantly, full of aggression and vigilance.

Thirteen was afraid of hurting someone, so he took the dog out again.

"Dogs usually remember the person who hurt them under normal circumstances, only when they are protective of their owner and threatened, and this dog is found in the low well of the City God Temple, but here it is the only one who barks at you......"

Chen Butcher smiled disdainfully, "It's just a dog, and killing it is less than a pot of meat." ”

The face of the pitiful Zheng was gloomy, and this Chen butcher was suspected of biting to death and not admitting his guilt.

Feng Yin, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly closed his cuffs and sat on the bench not far from the kite.

"I heard that a long time ago, there was an emperor who included the defeated empire in the harem as a concubine, and he was loved everywhere, and his concubine gave birth to a daughter and was named Princess Mingzhu. After the emperor's son Gongsun Lin ascended the throne, he regarded this pearl princess as a treasure......"

He didn't know what he meant, but he didn't say anything, and listened to him continue.

Thirteen brought the teacup forward, and the wind took a sip of tea, and then continued to speak slowly.

"One day, the favored minister gave Gongsun Lin a marriage and asked for Princess Mingzhu, but it attracted the wrath of the Son of Heaven, and Gongsun Lin not only divided his five horses, but also punished the nine clans."
