Chapter 40: Broken Bodies in the River

Lin Jingman talked about Lin Zhiruo's tragic past, her eyes were full of sympathy and indignation, and the more she talked, the more angry she became.

"These are not the worst, the eldest sister lost her mother at the age of ten, she didn't do it on her ten-year-old birthday, and every birthday in the future is a person, the sixteen-year-old and the gift of the Xuan has not yet arrived, she was framed and broke her father's favorite word, Daddy was angry and locked her in the small black room for five days, and the ceremony of the Xuan did not work, out of the small black house and a serious illness, Daddy listened to Aunt Luo's words to send her half-dead to the temple to recuperate, I thought she might not live, fortunately, God has eyes......"

Before Lin Jingman finished speaking, she heard Lin Zhiruo's voice outside, so she changed her words: "Big sister is back......"

Lin Zhiruo entered the door and saw Lin Jingman, remembering that she was still good to the original owner in the past, so she smiled at her: "Seventh sister is here?" ”

"Big sister, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I'm just telling my brother-in-law about our sisters' past." Lin Jingman said and took out a bag from her body and handed it to Lin Zhiruo's palm, and said mysteriously to her ear: "This is the blessing I asked for in Daming Temple for you......

Lin Zhiruo's face suddenly cramped, smiled awkwardly, and put the bag into the cuff, "It's hard for my sister to worry about my eldest sister at a young age, although I don't believe in these vain heads, I shouldn't have brushed my good sister's heart, so I'll accept this." ”

Lin Zhiruo turned her head and saw that Qin Zimo's eyes seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and she was about to open her mouth when he asked her first: "Where have you been, for so long?" ”

Lin Zhiruo smiled, poked her left hand out of her sleeve and raised it in front of Qin Zimo's eyes, and the crimson sleeves slid down, revealing a jade hand holding two late-blooming white plum blossoms.

She grinned, "I went around the garden and found this, isn't it?" Isn't it fragrant? As she spoke, she brought the flower branch closer to her nose and took a long breath, narrowing her eyes contentedly.

No wonder as soon as she entered the door, he felt the fragrance was fragrant, it turned out that she had come back with plum blossoms. Qin Zimo looked at her innocent appearance, and couldn't help but smile a little at the corner of his mouth, "The boss is not a small person, and he still does this child's trick." ”

teased with his mouth, but raised his hand to gently remove a leaf that she had fallen between her hair to break the flower branches, put it in front of her eyes and shook it: "I know that you accidentally got it, and I don't know that I thought that this king let you live in the woods." ”

Lin Zhiruo took his hand and arm aside, turned around and said to Lin Jingman with a smile: "I passed by the West Chamber just now, and I heard that my father invited the opera troupe to sing, I estimate that I should send someone to invite us all to watch the play in a while, why don't we go to see them set up the stage first......

Before Lin Zhiruo finished speaking, he saw Qin Zimo's men coming in from outside, walked straight to Lin Zimo's side, whispered a few words to him and ran out of the door.

Then Qin Zimo said "I'm out of company" and went out.

She hurriedly chased out the door and stopped him: "Where are you going?" ”

Qin Zimo jumped onto the roof without looking back, and soon disappeared without a trace. Lin Zhiruo looked at the empty roof, and suddenly felt that she had no face in front of Lin Jingman.

"Brother-in-law, he is Dali Siqing, did he leave suddenly in an emergency, right?" Lin Jingman asked her in her ear.

Lin Zhiruo turned her head to look at Lin Jingman, and didn't answer whether it was or not, but just said to her, "Let's go to the play." ”

Today, Prime Minister Lin Cheng invited the most popular opera troupe in the capital, singing a play in which a good wife and husband work together to tide over difficulties and stand up to the world, and his intentions are obvious. However, after everyone in the Lin family arrived, when they learned that Qin Zimo had something to do temporarily and could not watch together, they all made excuses to leave.

Lin Zhiruo was also not interested in watching the play, so it didn't affect everyone's mood, and directly deduced that she was unwell and said that she would go back to Duanwangfu in advance, so that the troupe received the reward and went back to their respective homes. Then he played a superficial scene with the Lin family, got into the carriage and rushed back.

Sitting in the carriage, Lin Zhiruo thought about Qin Zimo's appearance when he took out the leaf from the top of her head with a smile just now, and his back without hesitation when he left, as if he had been stabbed and pulled out hard, and she was so uncomfortable.

It's really hypocritical, it was originally two people who went back to the door to act together in a play, what did she have to figure out? is not the heroine of a romance drama, she is so bitter and overly sensitive, I'm afraid she is not sick! Lin Zhiruo despised herself fiercely, and simply took a nap by leaning on the carriage, after all, she was still a wounded, but she had to worry about herself, after all, she would have no relatives and no reason when she came here.

The carriage was shaking, and it didn't take long for Lin Zhiruo to dream. The ancient and modern episodes of the dream are interspersed, sometimes sad and sometimes funny, but gradually it becomes a picture of only one person. That person, although Lin Zhiruo thought he hated it in her dreams, she couldn't get rid of it.

"This is the fifth corpse in three months, the same woman's corpse, I really don't know who is so vicious, every time it is a weak woman, and the means are so cruel and bloody, it is simply heartbreaking and outrageous......"

Qin Zimo interrupted the words of the Criminal Department Shangshu complaining about the murderer, and asked him continuously: "Have you done the test?" What is the conclusion? What about eyewitnesses? ”

When Master Wei of the Criminal Department heard this, he immediately beckoned to call the old Chen Tou and the witness, "Mr. Xing, and that old Chen Tou come over quickly, the prince has something to ask you!" ”

"The little one has seen the prince!"

Qin Zimo interrupted the two of them and asked the old man, "How did you find these corpses?" ”

Old Chen Tou Nuo Nuo responded: "The small is the farmer of the four villages outside the city, who has always made a living from farming, and today he entered the city to buy seeds on the way through the Qingshui River, and the accompanying family dog Ah Huang suddenly did not listen to the call to drill into the reeds, and the small one thought it was naughty and didn't care much, and sat on the side of the road and nibbled on two mouthfuls of dry food......

Old Chen Tou said as he spoke, and the fear on his face that could not be concealed collapsed instantly, "After a while, Ah Huang suddenly yelled at me, and I followed the sound and saw Ah Huang's small body drilling out of the reeds, and waited until it came out completely, hey! Good fellow, I can't see it when I see it! It has half a human hand in its mouth! The blood is rolling, a smell! ”

"No, the prince and this lord, although the old man is also a person who is close to the age of sixties, he has done a lot of things to kill pigs and cattle, and it is not unseen that the dead have not been seen, and it is the first time to see such a fragmented dead person! At that time, I was so frightened that I was exhausted, and it took me a long time to get up and pick up the reeds to take a look......"

Old Chen couldn't find any flaws when he spoke, Qin Zimo listened to his words, brushed away the person in front of him and walked to the grass on the side of the road, lifted the white cloth and saw a pile of broken carrion, he frowned and covered it again, and asked in a cold voice: "What is the result of the autopsy?" Did you find anything? ”
