A bunch of girls were left looking at each other, and they didn't hear what they had just said. But they all know Chen Ling's rules, don't ask anything that shouldn't be asked, if they talk too much, they will be kicked out.

At the beginning, a girl was dissatisfied with the daily training, so she confronted her, but she didn't expect to be sent back to Yapo, and I heard that she was finally transferred to Xiguan.

Chen Ling arrived at the Windward Tower, explained the matter to the shopkeeper, and then returned to the Holy Maiden Pavilion. As soon as she arrived in the pavilion, Ju'er handed over the account book, "Miss, this is the account of the clothing village and the restaurant in the past month." ”

Although Chen's Yizhuang and Windward Building have shopkeepers, the final verification of the accounts is done by Ju'er.

"Hmm." Chen Ling glanced at it cursoly, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "What has the Eighth Prince been doing lately?" ”

Ju'er shook her head and said, "It's all in the palace." ”

Chen Ling pondered slightly and said, "What about Ouyang?" ”

"The Seventh Prince is preparing to go to Xiguan." Ju'er poured a glass of water for her," said Master Kobayashi, who would leave in seven days. ”

Chen Ling's hand holding the cup tightened, "He went alone?" ”

"I heard that there was a lot of trouble over there, so the prince took the initiative to ask for help and issued a military order. The king told him to bring five thousand soldiers with him. ”

Chen Ling's brows furrowed even tighter, and his heart throbbed.

I didn't expect the king to be so protective of him, and he actually asked for a military order...... Xiguan is the clue point of the wrong Jinshi incident. If she could, of course she would like to go herself!

But how could she say that the king agreed?

She asked again, "What about my father and Yu Xin?" ”

Since that night, she has asked others to keep an eye on the affairs of the two courtyards, but the other party seems to be aware of it and never shows up again: "Miss, there is no abnormality." ”

Chen Ling pouted, and took out the case he just took today: "I'd better work hard." ”

This is a headless female corpse case, and there are no clues except for the location of the crime and a corpse. Chen Ling thought about it for a while, and went out to personally inquire about the cause of death.

"He died about last night, and he died of blood loss." "There are no traces of dredging on the body, and the broken edge on the neck is very smooth. ”

Chen Ling clasped his hands around his chest and pondered, "Check for me what birthmarks or marks she has, how many moles she has, how much hair she has, and finally draw a picture of the front and back and give it to me." ”

He was stunned and wondered: "Yu Yu is ...... quickly."

"Find someone." "There is only one sentence in this case - this morning an old man found a headless female corpse by the edge of a small river outside the mountain village in the west of the city. We only have two starting points, one is the identity of the girl, and the other is the specific location of the crime. ”

With that, she walked away.

When I arrived in the mountain village in the west of the city, I happened to meet Yu Donglin. Chen Ling smiled slightly: "What a coincidence." ”

Yu Donglin hugged his fist and said "Holy Maiden ......"

"Call me Yu Catch quickly." She was impatient. The Holy Maiden and the Holy Maiden are so screaming that the whole world is about to know me!

Yu Donglin bowed his head, "Yes." This case is really weird, and here is to find more clues so that we can solve the case as soon as possible. ”

"It's fine." There was a cooperation before, and Chen Ling was still very optimistic about his work ability, so they walked to the edge of the river together.

If it weren't for the fact that a large pool of blood stains nearby spoiled the atmosphere, it would have been a really elegant place. There is a small forest next to the river, and the water surface is about half a meter below the trail as if to store water, and the clear and slightly blue water shows the depth of the river.

An old man in his sixties stood in one place and exclaimed, "The little one was found here!" Further down this road is the crop field of our village, which I usually pass by, but I don't know if I will meet dead people. "It's so bad luck!

Chen Ling looked around, and sure enough, he saw a large area of crops not far away, and this road was the closest road connecting the crops to the countryside: "This place looks a little hidden, except for you knowing, does anyone else know about this place?" ”

"Everyone in the next village knows who let the crops be here! There are many people walking during the day, but at night, no one dares to walk, the road is small and slippery, and there are trees next to it, if you accidentally fall into the river, who can climb up?! ”

Chen Ling looked at the not shallow river, the turbulent water rushed down, the stones on the side were smooth and extraordinary, and there was a lot of moss growing on it. If you accidentally fall down, I'm afraid your leg will be broken.

Chen Ling asked, "Then is there a girl missing from your village or the village next door?" ”

The old man said, "I have asked everything, and they all said that there are no fewer people." There are only a few villages that know here, and the people in the village also know each other, if there are really few people, they would have reported to the official a long time ago! ”

She frowned: "Yu Yukuai, what do you say?" ”

"If that's the case, it's an open case." Yu Donglin said, "But this is not unusual, the Criminal Department receives not thousands of unsolved cases every year, but tens of thousands." ”

"That'...... Don't you sink your grievances? Chen Ling tilted his head, suddenly saw something, looked at the old man and said, "When you saw it, did the female corpse have clothes on it?" ”

In ancient times, clothing was also one of the criteria for judging a person!

The old man frowned suspiciously, then shook his head and said, "No, no." ”

"Really?" Chen Ling stared at the old man, took out a dagger from one waist and leg, and swiped it in his hand, "I suddenly have an idea, what if this case is a scene of thieves shouting to catch thieves?" ”

The old man was stunned, as if he couldn't really understand, and asked again: "What did the catcher say, why didn't the little one understand." ”

Chen Ling continued, "I mean, you have something to hide from us. First of all, how did you come out when you were in Yin? And again......"

Chen Ling pointed to an inconspicuous place by the river: "There are also blood stains on that broken step, it looks like it should be the fabric on the deceased's body, but you said that what you saw was a naked corpse...... I suspect that you killed this person, and then you go to report the crime, so that everyone knows about it! ”

When the old man heard this, his legs and stomach became weak, and he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "It's really not! I wake up so early every day, everyone in the village knows it! ”

"What about the clothes! Did you pick it up and sell it? ”

This is not uncommon in remote areas, but because it is a lack of morality, there are very few people who dare to do it.

The old man was so frightened by this roar that his whole body trembled, he didn't expect that the strips of cloth that were about to sink into the dirt could be found by her, and he confessed with a blind face: "Yes." The clothes are in good condition, and they look like they can be exchanged for a lot of money. I thought about it. Except for the collar of my underwear, everything else was fine, so I washed the clothes and thought about drying them and selling them...... Spare your life! I don't dare anymore! ”

Yu Donglin glanced at Chen Ling appreciatively, saw a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and raised her right hand behind her: "Hand over the clothes, don't take it as an example!" ”

With that, they followed the old man's house.
