Childe, girl, according to the instructions of the two, his subordinates took Zhang Xiao's drawings back to the countryside to find his neighbors in his hometown. But the people in the village recorded in the dossier, men, women, and children, all said that they had never seen this person. ”

"In order to prevent mistakes, my subordinates redrew their drawings according to what Zhang Xiao's hometown neighbors said." The guard handed over a portrait, and after a moment, he continued, "In addition, according to the people of the Xiao family, the Xiao family is headed by the stepmother, so the life of the children is very difficult. And Zhang Xiao's family should have a brother, the family was poor at the beginning, and his brother sold himself in front of Renya in order to prevent her from being sold by her stepmother at will. It is said that he was later bought by a large family and made a small house, and has not been heard from since. And Zhang Xiaoshi was also sent to work in a wine shop when he was ten years old, and because he was young, he was often beaten and bullied......"

"And Aunt Yang, her subordinates have been looking for a long time, but they have never found anyone related to her."

Xu Chu frowned, thought for a while and said: "According to the dossier, Aunt Yang is a native of Qinghe County, and when Qinghe County sent water, she destroyed all the documents and records in the county. Later, when the county household registration was added, it was supplemented according to the identification of each household and his own oral account. ”

"In the black market, people often use this to fish in troubled waters, and then falsify household registration information to resell people. This matter is expressly forbidden by the imperial court, but unfortunately it has not been able to put an end to it. Xiao Qinglang frowned and said, "However, the household department has the household registration of all the families in each county, but it is quite difficult to find it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a fluttering sound outside the window.

Before Xu Chu could look back, he saw that Xiao Qinglang had already stretched his eyebrows, and said in response: "Come back really immediately." ”

With that, he got up and walked to the windowsill, and a moment later a pigeon with white fur and a red mouth stopped under his hand.

"This is a carrier pigeon?" Xu Chu does not have a deep understanding of carrier pigeons, in fact, she still has many doubts about using carrier pigeons to send letters. After all, the world is vast, and even if the pigeon has a strong nest love, it can't avoid getting lost.

Xiao Qinglang took down the letter tied to the pigeon's leg injury, and saw that Xu Chu's probe seemed to be puzzled, so he explained: "This is a special carrier pigeon used in the army, the delivery speed is fast and extremely accurate, and the endurance is good, because of long-term training, it can adapt to all kinds of complex weather and terrain." If you encounter a natural predator, you can get rid of it on your own. Of course, for some people with ulterior motives, as long as they don't shoot it with an arrow, it can escape. ”

The Great Zhou Dynasty has a long history of training military pigeons, as early as the time of the Holy Ancestor, a flip through the historical records found that the "History of the Song Dynasty" written by Arutu had recorded, during the Qing calendar of Song Renzong, the envoy Yuan Hao's Sang Xue, saw a few white boxes on the side of the road, and heard the sound of jumping in the box, and the guards did not dare to step forward. In the end, Ren Fu, its chief manager, ordered people to go and open it, and suddenly saw more than 100 pigeons flying out of it and hovering over the Song army. After getting the signal, the Xia army ambushed around surrounded it from all directions, and as a result, Ren Fu's army was completely annihilated.

This is the first record of military pigeons in ancient books, although it is not very clear, but it has attracted great attention from the Holy Ancestor. Since then, Shengzu has specially found many masters of raising and training pigeons among the people, and opened domestication circles for use. Ten years later, the military pigeon was developed and became the key to the success of several military campaigns against the barbarians.

The military pigeon was very cautious, and when he saw that his master had taken the letter, and a stranger approached, he directly flapped his wings twice and flew away. Mo said that he was fed and arrested, but he didn't give people a chance to get close.

Xiao Qinglang looked at Xu Chu's regretful expression with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Now there are very few carrier pigeons around me from Jinzhou City to my home, so I can't let you play and study, if you think it's strange, just wait until you go back, I'll take you to domesticate the circle and take a look." Where the carrier pigeon is the originator of all the carrier pigeons in the Great Zhou. ”

Xu Chu nodded in response, but he didn't have much enthusiasm. After all, curiosity is there, but it's not enough for her to put her mind into it. It's like she's seen a lot of juggling with Mingzhu, and she's quite curious, but she's not very interested in exploring the inner reason.

After sitting down again, Xiao Qinglang unfolded the letter in his hand, and after a moment, he raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

Xu Chu didn't know what he meant, so he immediately came to his side to look over, but saw that it was the so-called household registration information of Aunt Yang's mother's family in the capital. On his household registration, there are now only four boys and a few wives and children. But it does not show that the father and mother of the Yang family, who have long since passed away, have had a daughter.

The household department of the capital is in charge of the household registration of all states and counties in the world, whether it is a female household or a person who has died in the household, even if the file file cannot be found, it will be reflected in the original household registration. And this embodiment is generally destroyed once every fifty years, according to Aunt Yang's age, even if she is sold or married, her name should be ticked off from the original household registration. No way, no sign of existence.

Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Xiao Qinglang's side face and asked, "In other words, Aunt Yang is really fake." ”

She seemed to have completely sorted out the ins and outs of the case, and confirmed to Xiao Qinglang with a little excitement and depression.

Xiao Qinglang looked at the eyes that were close at hand, his eyes were shining, and he said with a gentle and shallow chin: "As you think." ”

Xu Chu was just about to say something more when he heard a crisp sound outside.

"Sister Chu......"

Then, Xiao Mingzhu probed his brain and looked out of the door. Xu had been specially instructed by Hua Wuxian before, so at this time, when she saw that her third uncle and Sister Chu were standing very close, and her bodies were almost close together, she immediately covered her eyes and said in a loud voice: "I haven't seen anything, I haven't seen anything......"

Xu Chu, who was startled by her, only found out at this time that she had just leaned over the desk to study the letter, and when she stood up, she was almost covered by Xiao Qinglang's body. If you look at it from the door, it is really ambiguous.

Her body stiffened, and she subconsciously took a step back. However, in her hurry, she forgot about the stool behind her and leaned back directly.

Xiao Qinglang suddenly made a move, pulled the person back to his side, looked at her with a deep frown and said, "Be careful." ”

In this way, Xu Chu couldn't help but blush his cheeks. Especially after seeing Xiao Mingzhu's strange elf open her fingers and look at it, she was even more ashamed to quickly withdraw from Xiao Qinglang's arms and stand firm.

"Now that the details are clear, the case will almost be closed tonight."

Xiao Mingzhu, who was just about to ask for a few joys, heard this, and didn't care whether it was annoying or not, so he directly rushed over and wondered: "Didn't you just start investigating?" Aunt Liu was killed today, and the third uncle and Sister Chu only examined the body, why did they suddenly close the case? ”

She is still confused, although she has found out a lot of information, but she always feels that it is useless. And the third uncle and Sister Chu have only been out for half a day, and it is less than two hours, why are they about to end?

Xu Chu saw that she was stunned and very cute, and the little embarrassment in his heart gradually fell.

"Actually, this case is not too complicated, if nothing else, after I have examined Aunt Liu's body, I can let the murderer be present before tomorrow at the latest. But the difficulty lies in finding the murderer's motive for the crime, as well as the haunted things that have plagued the Song family for many years. ”

"Who is the murderer, and why did you kill Aunt Yang and Aunt Liu?" Xiao Mingzhu became interested, almost hanging on Xu Chu, and asked one after another, "What's the matter with the haunting that Old Lady Song and Old Lady Song saw, is it the same as Jin Manshan, who was frightened by the people around him pretending to be ghosts?" ”

"No, no, the sixteenth day of the lunar month, does that have anything to do with Zhang Qiu's birthday?" She still remembered the last time Sister Chu specially let her see this day, according to Sister Chu's temperament, if she didn't have suspicions, she would never have said it alone.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Qinglang said casually: "Zhang Qiu...... It's better for you to guess, if you can guess, after returning to Beijing, I will have someone take the file of the top ten mystery cases of the Great Zhou for you to study, and let Lord Cheng Min of Dali Temple personally explain it to you and teach you how to solve the case. ”

The Big Zhou Ten Mystery Case can be called a classic in prison, because it involves many confidential and unexplained phenomena, so even though the case has been solved, it is still sealed and not allowed to be circulated. Now in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are only a handful of people who have read the detailed dossier.

As soon as Xiao Mingzhu heard this, a pair of starry eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "The third uncle has to be counted when he speaks. ”

After she finished speaking, she thought hard.

"Could it be Aunt Yang's illegitimate son?" She remembered that someone once said that Zhang San had a hard relationship with Aunt Yang, and Aunt Yang had also gone to look for Zhang Qiu.

And Sister Chu also said that if you only rely on Zhang Sangen and Zhang Xiao's family, you can't support a student like Zhang Qiu at all.

Xiao Qinglang shook his head, his expression remained unchanged, and he calmly lowered his sleeves and said, "Guess again." ”

"That's Song Derong's illegitimate son?"

Xiao Qinglang glanced at her, "Do you think that with Song Derong's power, if Zhang Xiao's family conceived his heir before he got married, he would watch Zhang Xiao's marry a gangster?" ”

Hearing him say this, Xiao Mingzhu also felt that his conjecture was a little out of bounds. She scratched her head, racking her brains to think hard.

She excluded all the people that Sister Chu had asked her to inquire about, but in the end she still didn't come to a reliable conclusion. So, she could only look at Xu Chu pitifully.

The file of the top ten mysterious cases, just thinking about it, you can imagine the degree of twists and turns. It is estimated that the case in it is much more exciting than the book.

Xu Chu saw that she was only turning in circles in distress, and hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "What did the old lady shout when she was sick and scratched Lord Song?" ”

Xiao Mingzhu raised his head and recalled for a while, before he hesitated: "Haunted?" ”

Xu Chu was choked for a moment, but seeing that she was still staring at herself, she could only patiently continue to guide: "What else? ”

"If you think about it carefully, what does the old lady see before she shouts that it is haunted, and it should generally be a person who sees the dead and comes back to life...... What if that day, what if she saw Zhang Qiu? ”

As she guided her step by step, Xiao Mingzhu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she exclaimed: "It's Xiao Hua and Shuangniang!" ”
