Hua Wuxian and Xiao Mingzhu had already come back at this time, because the two of them were also suspicious, so they couldn't walk around. At this time, Hua Wuxi was rolling her eyes, helplessly looking at Xiao Mingzhu who was walking around the house, seeing that she frowned for a while and threw the whip to run out, she couldn't help but drop the tea cup in her hand and hurriedly said: "My aunt, you can stop for a while, don't make trouble." Your third uncle is dead, and you are not allowed to walk around at will. ”

Xiao Mingzhu was obviously fattened by Xu Chu's courage, and stopped her small chest unconvinced and said, "Hmph, who went to make trouble?" Root...... Miss Ben is learning autopsy from Sister Chu in a dignified manner, speaking of which, maybe I am more useful than you. ”

"Yes, yes, you're good." Seeing that she was proud, Hua Wuxian hurriedly coaxed and said. "You have to be calm, when your sister Chu came back to discuss the case with you in a while, you ran out, isn't it a waste of time?"

Xiao Mingzhu listened to him at the beginning in a tone like coaxing a child, and she was very dissatisfied, feeling that she was underestimated by this peacock again. But when I heard the second half of the sentence, I felt that this was indeed the case.

She thought about it for a moment, and instantly wilted. But although she can't get out, it still doesn't prevent her from fighting with the peacock.

"Don't be unconvinced, when Sister Chu performed the autopsy at that time, I could see it clearly, you dodged your eyes, and then I didn't see Xie Niang's corpse at a glance."

"......" Hua Wuxian exhaled deeply, where was he afraid, obviously ...... Stick to the gentleman's behavior, and ignore the incivility.

Xiao Mingzhu saw that he didn't refute, but only acquiesced.

Now she can't get out anyway, she simply sat next to Hua Wuxi, blinked her head and said, "You can't stand that corpse today, and you must be even more unbearable when Sister Chu performed an autopsy in the mass grave." Let me tell you, Sister Chu steamed the corpse ...... back then."

At this point, she suddenly remembered something, coughed lightly unconsciously, and then continued with a soothing voice: "The corpse has been examined properly, regardless of whether it is white bones or rotten, and even those that have been scraped alive have been examined. And the third uncle relied on Sister Chu's autopsy results and speculation to find the real culprit......"

Although she doesn't often deal with those old-fashioned and ignorant officials in the imperial court, she also knows that Sister Chu's method of steaming corpses in mass graves is very shocking. If it spreads, I am afraid that it will be beneficial and harmless.

Although she didn't think that the peacock would harm the third uncle and Sister Chu, but at that time, the third uncle had privately looked for herself, and she said it very seriously, and it was impossible to think about it just to scare herself. So no matter whether it's for the third uncle or for Sister Chu, she should keep her mouth shut.

However, although she can't talk about the detailed legal system of the autopsy, it does not prevent her from telling it with great interest.

Hua Wuxian looked at her with admiration in her eyes, and she hated to praise Xu Chu to the sky with excitement, and a sour feeling rose in her heart.

He had thought of many possibilities before, such as the emperor marrying Mingzhu, or which talented family in the capital admired her, but he didn't think that his rival in love was actually a woman......

On the contrary, the woman is still a person who can perform an autopsy and solve the case, saying that she is doing what she likes, but she is afraid that it will be light. Thinking like this, he couldn't help but sigh. I'm afraid that in my own life, I won't have the opportunity to let Mingzhu look at myself with admiration.

Thinking of this, he could only take a deep breath, then reached out and rubbed her head.

"Your sister Chu is naturally powerful, otherwise how could your third uncle be different from her alone?"

The two of you were talking as soon as I was talking, when I heard the voice of the guards outside, it was Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu who came back with Wei Guang.

It was busy for most of the night, and when the three of them returned to the room, it was already around the clock.

However, due to the matter of human life, several people did not rest separately, but gathered in Xu Chu's room to discuss the case.

At this time, what Xu Chu got in his hand, in addition to the blood-stained paper piercing man, there was also the unreasonable wire that happened to strangle Xie Niang.

Outside the house, the mountain wind is howling, the wind and snow are coming, and there is a dead silence everywhere, but whenever there is some wind and grass, it is particularly terrifying. And in the house, on the side of the warm fire, Xu Chu and the others looked extremely cautious.

During the day, she and Xiao Qinglang had analyzed that the haunting of the villa was only aimed at Jin Manshan alone, and there was no real danger. But I didn't want to, just after night, such a tragedy happened.

But why did the murderer choose to kill Xie Niang? Where did the kiss marks on Xie Niang's back come from, and is it related to this case? And what is the connection between Xie Niang and Jin Manshan, so that the haunted paper man who has been trapping Jin Manshan will appear at the scene of Xie Niang's death.

"Wei Guang, order to go down, let the guards divide into two groups from today onwards day and night, in addition to guarding the courtyard, the rest of the patrol bamboo forest ......" Xiao Qinglang's face was solemn, "Tonight's matter, I'm afraid it's just the beginning, that person has gone to great lengths to even destroy the mountain road, the target must not be just a Xie Niang ......"

If it was before, he thought that the haunting of Lotus Mountain Villa was just someone intimidating Jin Manshan. After Xie Niang's death, as well as the incense paper and charms found in the rockery, he decided that this case was only a long-planned act of revenge.

And the person the murderer wants to take revenge on is Xie Niang, or Siyan, or all the people trapped in the villa. What he wants is to slowly slaughter or even drive the trapped people crazy, and then let Jin Manshan live in a real fear that he may be killed every day.

"Third uncle, are you saying that there will be people who will die?" Xiao Mingzhu opened his mouth in astonishment when he heard this.

Xu Chu took a sip of hot tea on the side, and when he saw her coming over, he bowed his head to express his agreement with Xiao Qinglang's guess.

She smiled bitterly and said, "If I guess correctly, the murderer is so hateful because of something that he doesn't just want to take revenge on Lotus Villa. Perhaps, all of us are within the scope of his revenge......"

What that man wanted was to destroy the entire villa, or to die and die. However, there was so much secrecy and hatred in the villa that he was so mad.

"The mountain will never collapse for no reason, and the only way to destroy the mountain and block the way down the mountain is to blow it up." Xu Chu took out the codex from his body, and then carefully sorted out the abnormalities that had occurred since he came to this villa. "Now that the imperial court has strict control over gunpowder, maybe we can start to track it down from here."

"Wei Yan once sent someone to inspect the mountain, and he drew the drawings and came back." Xiao Qinglang said, and took out a piece of rice paper from his sleeve, "According to the purity of gunpowder that can be refined in the black workshops in the market, if you want to blow up the mountain into such a situation, I'm afraid it will take at least eight catties." ”

Xu Chu's heart sank when he heard him mention the black workshop, wouldn't he be looking for a needle in a haystack? The reason why the black workshop has continued to this day and has not been completely eliminated is that it is like a black market that is a shady business, and the people who come and go secretly are erratic. Therefore, if you want to follow this clue, I am afraid that it will be extremely energy-consuming and manpower-consuming, and you may not be able to get useful information.

Xiao Mingzhu didn't have any idea of the amount of gunpowder, but Hua Wuzhi was dumbfounded: "Eight catties, this is not a small amount, if it is checked by the government, it is enough to be sentenced to the crime of treason and implicate the nine clans." ”

Xiao Qinglang glanced at him, showed a rare look of appreciation, and then said: "So, that murderer either has some doorways, or has enough money." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand to send over the files of the people who had been invited to investigate the previous investigation and the juggling team of the troupe. These were collected by Wei Yan from all over the night from all over the world, although the time was rushed, but they were also detailed.

Several people gathered around the table to take a closer look, and when they opened the file in their hands, Xu Chu found that many names had been outlined with red pens on it.

"These people...... It's all the people who were left to spend the night today? Xu Chu looked up in surprise. According to Xiao Qinglang, he got these files last night, and he has been walking with him today and has not been separated, which means that the red seal with the name of the person circled was circled last night.

He doesn't have the ability to predict the future, and the only explanation is that these people have crossed paths at some particular time, or have been implicated in something. was then seen by Xiao Qinglang......

Before Xu Chu could ask, he heard Xiao Mingzhu say in surprise: "Third uncle, you are really like a god, otherwise how could you have prepared the information of these people early?" ”

"It's like a god, heh, it's just that someone has already made arrangements." Xiao Qinglang's eyes were deep, and when he saw Xu Chu's finger pointing to the word Xinzhou thoughtfully, he raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

"Is it NSW?" She took a deep breath and looked at Xiao Qinglang silently, and the two tacitly agreed not to speak again, but they had a new guess about the case.

For the understanding between the two of them, Xiao Mingzhu and Hua Wuxian only felt confused.

"What new state, what's wrong with new state?" Xiao Mingzhu looked at those files puzzled, and saw that Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu did not explain, so he looked at Hua Wuzhi again, but unfortunately, Hua Wuzhi was also puzzled at this time.

She didn't see a clue, but seeing what Xu Chu was carefully recording in the codex, she didn't bother. just pursed his mouth and muttered: "I don't look at this file, Xie Niang's ancestral home is not from Xinzhou, and even the families who are now in the villa are not from Xinzhou." What else is there? ”

When she followed Xu Chu and the others to investigate the case before, she still remembered looking for places where several deceased people had gone together in a pile of files, or similar experiences. But now that she looks, these people don't seem to be able to beat with eight strokes, and even the business is done separately, and there is not much involvement.
