"It is said that the child is the mother's heart, and the mother seems to be too ruthless."

"That's what makes us feel weird. It is said that such a young child, such a thing happened, for the mother, either blame herself and regret it, or her heart is painful, and she can't wait to guard the child day and night, for fear that she will be afraid if she stays alone in Yizhuang. But Wanwan's mother seems to have a big heart, except for crying a little miserably on the day of the incident, these days have never been. ”

"What did Daddy Wanwan say?"

"He said his wife was heartbroken and couldn't bear to see her children again." Chang Tai shook his head: "I have been a fast catcher for so many years, and I have seen many extremely vicious people. Even a vicious person who kills people without blinking an eye will have some good thoughts in the last days of his life. What they miss the most is their own mother. Those mothers, as long as they are still alive in the world, will also work tirelessly to give their children a ride, hoping that in the next life, they can be innocent and stable people. Wanwanniang's words are suspicious. ”

"If this evening is the evening I heard from Mrs. Chen in the morning, and if the mother of Wanwan is the Mrs. Chen who came to my rouge shop in the morning, then Wanwan's death must not be as simple as it seems."

Xing Ruyi said, blowing lightly at the child in his arms. The child stubbornly pouted and rubbed his eyes with his hands, but after all, he couldn't resist the onset of sleepiness and fell asleep. The faint white light quickly shrank into a ball, and Xing Ruyi carefully tucked it into the placket and placed it near his chest.

It is said that hearing the sound of the heart beating will make the child sleep more peacefully.

"Can Brother Chang be trusted with Ruyi?"

"I believe it, otherwise why would I go to the door and ask you to come over."

"Good! Then I told Brother Chang that this child was not burned to death by the fire, but someone set the fire after the child died. ”

"Was it an accident?" Chang Tai asked, frowning.

"It can't be an accident! If it's just an accident, why cover it up with arson. That person must have another purpose. ”

"Can you find out the truth?"

"It's not that you can, it's that you have to. With such a small child, I really can't imagine how ruthless the heart of the person who did it was. Xing Ruyi took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and opened them again. Bow your head and cautiously, inch by inch, look at the child's body.

"If the body is burned before death, it will show a variety of phenomena such as burns, erythema, blisters, and inflammation on the scab after death, but these will not appear if the body is burned after death. In addition, if she was burned by fire before her death, she could find the charcoal dust of soot in her respiratory tract. Oh, and the respiratory tract refers to the area below the throat. ”

Xing Ruyi said, gently picking at the child's throat with his fingernails: "Is there anything like small tweezers?" ”

"Is the girl looking for this?" The janitor handed over a cloth bag of things, "This is left by the previous adult, and it is said that when Lord Chang came over, he may have used it." ”

The janitor's words, naturally, can't be taken seriously, don't say that ordinary people won't leave the guy they use for eating, even if they will,

It won't be so neat. The bag was obviously some years old, and many places had been whitened and even patched, but it was cleaned very cleanly and there was no odor. The things in it are all commonly used, like the original versions of the tools used by forensic doctors in later generations, although they are a little clumsy, but they can be improvised.

He picked out a pair of tweezers, carefully cut the child's throat with a razor blade, opened it, and showed it to Chang Tai: "The child's respiratory tract is very clean, and no soot and charcoal dust was found, which means that the child was burned after death." ”

Chang Tai kept a calm face and did not speak.

Xing Ruyi put down the tweezers, removed all the white cloth covering the child's body, pointed to the child's body and said: "Also, if the child is alive when there is a fire, such a big fire, when it burns on the body, the child will move even if he is asleep." But Brother Chang, look, this kid looks like he's struggling? She was calm, calm as if in her sleep. ”

"That's true!" Chang Tai turned his face: "Over the years, I have also been in contact with many cases, among which there are also those who were burned to death by fire, such a calm one, but it is very rare." It's no wonder that the first time I saw this corpse, I thought something was unusual. It's just that I didn't think about it deeply, thinking that the child was young and would be a little different from adults, and thought that the child was stunned by the smoke and dust before he woke up. ”

"In any fire, very few people are really burned to death, and most of them are smoked to death by smoke and dust, so Brother Chang, your previous inference is not wrong. It's just that people who are killed by smoke and dust will have black and gray faces. But Brother Chang, take a look at it again, this child has burns all over his body, and his face is even more seriously burned. It shows that the fire started very close to the child, or even started from the child's side. ”

"I asked Xiao Shengzi to inspect again, and I estimated that I could find something useful from the burned house."

"Yes, there will definitely be, but even if Xiao Shengzi finds it, that person may not be willing to admit it." Xing Ruyi sighed lightly: "Can I see that Chen Gongzi?" ”

Chang Tai hesitated, nodded and agreed.

Wanwan's father, named Chen Xuan, had been a showman, but because of his family's downfall, coupled with his upright temperament, his career was hopeless, so he sought a job in a private school in the city. The salary is not much, but it is enough to support a family of three. Chen Xuan's wife, that is, the Mrs. Chen whom Xing Ruyi had met in the morning, was originally a concubine of a wealthy family in the city, and was sold to Renyazi because she angered the eldest lady. From a concubine to a female slave, and even very likely to be trafficked into the Qinglou by someone's teeth, Mrs. Chen was naturally unwilling, and it was inevitable that she would be beaten between tears. Chen Xuan, who was originally a scholar, was also vividly reflected in him for his troubles and soft-heartedness, so "acting bravely" and "pulling out a knife to help" actually took out all his belongings and bought Mrs. Chen.

It is said in the play that if the benefactor you meet doesn't like it very much, most of the rescued women will say: "The grace of saving lives cannot be repaid, just wait for the next life to be a cow and a horse to repay the grace of saving today." But if the benefactor is handsome and gentle, the rescued woman will change her words and say: "It is difficult to repay the grace of saving her life, and the concubine is willing to make a promise to serve the grace for life!" ”

Look, what a routine plot, but Chen Xuan encountered it. He saved Mrs. Chen in the future, she was a scholar and enthusiastic, but it was also a kind of fate to hold the beauty.

From a rich concubine to the wife of a teacher, Mrs. Chen also completed the last transformation in her life. Even, in order to completely forget the past, she also asked Chen Xuan to help her change her name. The surname is Li, and the name is Wan'er. The name of her daughter Wanwan is not so much because Chen Xuan is commemorating the birth of the child, but because she dotes on his wife.

The man in front of him, except for some vicissitudes in his eyes, from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, is very suitable for Xing Ruyi's impression of a scholar. Even when he speaks, this person is also a scholarly style, with a lot of rules. But many people are not to blame, Chen Xuan is not wrong.

"I want to ask Chen Gongzi, who is she carrying on weekdays. On the day of the water, will you be at home? ”

mentioned Wanwan, Chen Xuan's two eye circles turned red. He shook his head at first, and then explained: "The evening and the evening are usually carried by the lady. She is very well-behaved and obedient in the evening, and occasionally loses a little temper, but it is harmless. She's not the kind of child who is vexatious, so it's not hard to bring. On the day of the water walk at home, I was in a private school, and I rushed back after hearing the news. ”

"Can you tell us about the day?"

"Does this have anything to do with the case?" Chen Xuan's hand was first lightly shaken, and then let go: "Lord Chang has never allowed me to go to see Wanwan, nor let me take her home, saying that it is a little strange that Wanwan died." But I don't understand, how did an ordinary walker, an innocent child who was implicated, die strangely? Could it be that someone is trying to harm my Wanwan? ”

"Chen Gongzi's doubts, we will answer you later, but before that, please also answer the question I just asked. What was the situation like on the day of the water walk? ”

"That day" Chen Xuan's hand was shaken again, and even green tendons appeared on his forehead, it can be imagined that the encounter that day was a little unbearable for him.

"Everything was ok when we went out in the morning. When I woke up early, I fed her some thin rice porridge first, and then left her in the yard to play by herself. It's not that I don't care about the child, it's just that my wife has not been in good health since she gave birth late. It's good every night, as long as she doesn't make her thirsty or hungry, she won't make trouble. Usually, at lunchtime, I would go home again to check on my wife's physical condition and help take care of the next night. When I left, my wife also woke up and said that she would make another pair of shoes for Wanwan while the weather was good. I told my wife, and my wife told me that it was because she had grown up fast in recent days, and her shoes didn't fit well. When I went out, Wanwan smiled at me, thinking that when the weather got hot, she might be able to call me daddy. ”

I don't know if it was because of Chen Xuan's voice that he heard, Wanwan, who had fallen asleep obediently, woke up at this time. She stretched her small body and crawled out of Xing Ruyi's clothes with clumsy movements. It's also a small soul that doesn't frighten Chen Xuan and Chang Tai in front of him.

Chen Xuan was still immersed in his sad memories, but he staggered off Xing Ruyi's body in the evening, and then staggered onto Chen Xuan's body. The sudden chill made Chen Xuan shiver, he looked down at his knees, and actually stretched out his hand and gently stroked it in the void of mid-air.

Chen Xuan and Chang Tai couldn't see it, but Xing Ruyi could see it. She looked at Wanwan, stretched out her little hand, hugged Chen Xuan's arm, and tried hard to put her little face in his palm. She smiled so sweetly, and her expression was so flattering, but unfortunately, her biological father couldn't see anything.

Some couldn't bear to turn their faces away, and Xing Ruyi's eyes also turned red.
