Su Jingliang coughed awkwardly and said, "Little Brother Su is here!" ”

Brother Su is talking about the son of the nurse, judging from this name, I know that it must not be a scientific name, but a nickname that the Su family is used to.

Xing Ruyi glanced up, and saw that there were more people in the courtyard. Thirteen or fourteen-year-old children, in her time, were just hairy boys who had just read junior high school, but in the Tang Dynasty, children from poor families set up the door early. Junior Brother Su was lucky and reincarnated in the Su family, although his father was only a housekeeper of the Su family, but the food and clothing were not much worse than these young masters and young ladies.

It's just that this kid doesn't seem to be good at words, and his eyes are cold, as if he doesn't have much emotion, until he heard Su Jingliang explain his intentions to him, and there was a trace of fluctuation in his eyes. only glanced at the ground, and then said to Su Jingliang: "She is not my mother!" ”

"You haven't even looked at it, how do you know that it's not your mother lying on the ground?" Xing Ruyi asked, quite curious about this little brother Su's affirmation.

"My mother didn't die, she just disappeared and was taken away by my cousin's soul." Little Brother Su bit his lip slightly, trying his best to restrain his gaze and not let him look at the ground.

"Who told you that?" Xing Ruyi asked again.

"No one told me, I heard my father tell the third young master. He said that my mother could not have disappeared, she was just called by her cousin, and she would naturally come back later. "Little Brother Su is very stubborn, but his voice is still empty. Xing Ruyi also came from such an old age, and he knows what children of this age will think. When she lost her parents, she was not very old, and for a long time, she didn't want others to mention her parents, especially the dead word.

"I know what you're thinking, no child in this world wants his mother to suddenly suffer a catastrophe, but Brother Su, have you ever thought about it. If the one lying on the ground is really your mother, if your mother is really murdered by bad people, and she is sealed in this wall, and she can't even live in peace after death, as a son of man, you really don't feel distressed? ”

Junior Brother Su bit his lip tightly and didn't speak.

Xing Ruyi's tone couldn't help but soften: "Go, just go over and take a look, let if she is not your mother, let the government find out the truth as soon as possible, and let her be buried in peace." If she is your mother, you must find out the truth and let her go with peace of mind. ”

Junior Brother Su looked up at Xing Ruyi and asked her, "Are you also from the yamen?" ”

"I'm not, I'm barely a guest of the Su family, but I just happened to encounter this incident." Xing Ruyi pointed to the guest room where the body was found: "The two family members who traveled with me happened to live in this room, and among them was a little girl named Bell, who was about the same age as you, and you should be able to imagine how panicked she was when she encountered this kind of thing." But she was not afraid, but chose to ask me for help, and chose to tell the second young master about this matter. You're a boy, and you're supposed to be much stronger than my little bell, right? ”

Junior Brother Su nodded, "Okay, I'll see!" ”

"A warm reminder to you, her face has rotten, you just look at her body, see if the clothes and accessories on her body are your mother's, and you can also tell your mother what obvious characteristics you have, so that you can further verify it."

Brother Su still only glanced at it and replied.

"The clothes belonged to my mother, and I remember that in the days before she disappeared, she was wearing exactly the same clothes. This dress was made by my sister for my mother, and she liked it very much, so she never changed it in those days. There is also the silver hairpin on this head, although it is a little deformed, but it is also very similar to the one on my mother's head. Although Brother Su tried his best to endure it, he gradually overflowed his crying: "This silver hairpin is a gift from my father to my mother." My father said that when he married my mother, he was just a little scholar of the Su family, and he had no long things, so when my mother married him, there was nothing but a red hijab that my cousin used when she got married. Later, my father also mentioned some compensation for my mother, but my mother always said that she still had two children to raise, and she also had to buy a dowry for my sister and prepare a bride price for me, so that my father would not break the bank. I remember that all day, my father was very nervous, and when he chose the pattern, he was a little absent-minded, so this pattern was still given by me. ”

The speaker had no intention of listening to the heart, and Xing Ruyi soon realized that he had grasped the key to another problem. She looked into Brother Su's eyes and asked, "Since this silver hairpin is a gift from your father to your mother, why are you absent-minded when you choose?" ”

"Maybe it's because there are more things going on in those heavenly mansions, right?" Little Brother Su sighed: "I remember very clearly, just a few days before my father bought this silver hairpin for my mother, there was a haunted thing in the house, and the person who saw the ghost was my mother." followed the eldest lady to catch ghosts, but the ghosts were not caught, and she herself became ill. The eldest young master has a great temper because of the eldest lady's illness, and my father was a housekeeper at the time, so he had to be dragged to be scolded.

By the way, my father originally planned to give my mother a bead hairpin and a pair of jade bracelets. It was also because of the haunting that the pearl hairpin was changed to a silver hairpin, saying that it could ward off evil spirits. The jade bracelet was also bought later, and I specially took it to the temple to ask the master to open the light, but unfortunately my mother had disappeared at that time. ”

The crying in Brother Su's nasal voice was already very strong, and Su Jingliang could be regarded as watching Brother Su grow up, and he couldn't bear to see him like this, so he walked up to him and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"Is there anything else you want to ask? If not, I'll send my little brother back first. This kind of thing is a little unbearable for him as a child. ”

"Not yet! It's just that if the deceased is confirmed to be a nurse, it is inevitable that the yamen will invite Xiao Brother Su over in the future. In addition, Steward Su's side also needs Second Brother Su to say hello in advance. ”

"I understand!" Su Jingliang nodded.

Junior Brother Su took two steps, turned around again, and said to Xing Ruyi: "My mother's toes are a little different from others, especially her tail finger. My mother is from Hongdong, Chang'an, because her family is poor, she was sold as a girl, and later followed her cousin to the Su family. I've heard people say that only people in that place have double toe nails, so there should be no one else in the house who is the same except for me and my sister. ”

As soon as Brother Su's words fell, he went to check the toes of the deceased. Junior Brother Su also stood still, waiting for the result.

"How, is it a double layer of nails?"

Seeing that he got up, Xing Ruyi also hurriedly asked.

He nodded first, and then replied, "It's double-layered!" ”

Hearing this, Little Brother Su couldn't hold back any longer, he cautiously walked to the corpse, and gently brushed away the scattered hair covering the corpse with his hand, when he saw the distorted face, and saw the nails nailed to his hands and feet, he was both frightened and scared, and felt distressed and blamed, and even the cry was pressed in his chest.

"If you're scared, call out, if you want to cry, cry, the one on the ground is your mother, no one will laugh at you." Although Xing Ruyi had long known that the corpse on the ground was a nurse, seeing such a scene, it was still difficult to control the thought of himself back then.

Yin Yuan stood silently beside Xing Ruyi, stretched out his little hand to pull her, and when he saw her bow her head, that beautiful face instantly bloomed with a charming smile. He said: "Ruyi's mother, Yin Yuan, and the fox father, what are you afraid of?" ”

Xing Ruyi smiled! Yin Yuan, like the fox, is not a mortal, the fox can see through people's minds, Yin Yuan was brought out by the fox again, and he has already mastered the ability to see people's minds. squatted down and pinched his fleshy face: "That's right, my mother still has you, there are foxes, there are Siniang and Bell, and Brother Chang and Xiao Shengzi, so what can I do if I don't have my father?" Someone still hurts and takes care of it, doesn't it? I think that parents must not want their children to be sad and sad for themselves. ”

These words, Xing Ruyi said not only to himself, but also to Brother Su. That kid is also more mature in mind, and Xing Ruyi believes that he will understand.

Brother Su first deliberately suppressed his crying, and then cried recklessly. This crying didn't last long, he got up, wiped away his tears vigorously, walked up to Su Jingliang, and knelt down heavily: "Second young master, little brother, please beg you, you must find out the truth, my mother can't just die so inexplicably." ”

"Don't worry, even if you don't ask me about the nurse, I, Su Jingliang, will find out. In my Su family, there is a murderer who hides the body in the guest room of my house, such a person is really terrifying. Su Jingliang helped Su Xiaodi up first, walked to Chang Tai with him, and made a big salute: "Master Chang is not only the fast catcher of the Jingshi Yamen, but also a master of solving the case, please entrust you with this bizarre murder case of my Su family!" ”

"Young Master Su is polite, since Chang Tai has responded to the errand of the county master, the affairs of the Su family will definitely be dedicated." After speaking, the attendant carried the nurse's body up: "Before the case is investigated, the victim's body will be temporarily managed by the yamen, and we also need to ask Brother Su to come with us, and the yamen also needs to make some necessary records." ”

Su Jingliang looked at Little Brother Su and asked hesitantly, "Can I accompany Little Brother to go with me?" ”

"Young Master Su is willing to go together, naturally it is better, after all, this victim is a member of the Su family, if the Su family does not have a master to come forward, it will not be possible." Chang Tai said, and explained a few words to the leading officer: "Young Master Su and junior brother should go back with this He Zhu first, I still need to investigate the scene again to see if the murderer has any other evidence left." ”

Su Jingliang didn't say anything, took out the key to the courtyard and handed it to Chang Tai, and then left with the little brother with the catcher surnamed He.
