Qiao Chu's eyes fell on the tightly closed door, and his eyes shrank, from this point of view, this Aunt Shen was the most suspicious.

It's just that she has evidence of an alibi.

After thinking about it, Qiao Chu wrapped the fish bone in a handkerchief, put it in his sleeve, closed the coffin gently, looked down at the spiritual position that was almost oblique to the ground, he hooked his lips and sneered, and walked towards the kitchen in the south corner of the courtyard.

According to the government, Zhang Jin was killed and burned in the kitchen, so he was alone when he was eating? The meal...... And who did it?

At this moment, Qiao Chuchu couldn't help but curse the incompetent group of officials in the government, and so many doubts were not revealed one by one, so he easily grabbed Jian Xiaoyun.

Thinking of Jian Xiaoyun, Qiao Chu couldn't help but think of her cunning eyes and delicate face, he couldn't help but smile, and then he was stunned again.

Qiao Chu seemed to be afraid that his mood would fluctuate so easily, put away his thoughts, and looked down at the kitchen that was burned by the fire, only a piece of ash remained, and the blackened roof of the roof wood burned by the fire lay in the middle, Qiao Chu walked to the pillar and leaned over to look, if the roof beam collapsed, the kitchen would be burned with nothing left.

He stood up, his eyes were like a pool of water under the moonlit night, his dark eyes were lined with dark eyes, cold and unusual, he pulled his lips and snorted coldly, and as soon as he turned around, he melted into the night.

The candle flame of the vigil in the courtyard was clearly extinguished in the darkness, and the sound of Bibi Bobo was made, and a gust of night breeze blew coolly, and the candlelight suddenly dimmed and went out.

Everything was once again shrouded in darkness.

Qiao Chu returned to the inn, Li Chengdu was already sitting on the soft couch anxiously waiting for his return, the window lattice sounded softly, he looked up, and a black shadow was already standing in front of him.

Li Chengdu watched Qiao Chu return safely, his heart was slightly relieved, he stood up from the collapse and asked, "The master is back, I will investigate tonight, but what clues have I found?" ”

Qiao Chu's face was obscure in the dark, and he gently bent over to sit on the edge of the bed, and said in a deep voice: "There is no major discovery, as the predicate said, Zhang Jin's body was burned too badly, and the cause of death is unknown, so it is impossible to find out how he died." ”

Li Chengdu sighed lowly: "This corpse is scorched, it is indeed a bit tricky, it is impossible to find out the cause of his death, and even the murder weapon cannot be found!" ”

Qiao Chu's eyes turned his heart, Li Chengdu's words reminded him, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Maybe the murderer burned the corpse to cover up the way the deceased died, so in this way, the murder weapon that hurt the deceased is likely to reveal the identity of the murderer, so he had to burn Zhang Jin's body?" ”

Li Chengdu also suddenly realized, Huo Ran stood up, and said angrily: "What a cunning murderer, so to speak, wouldn't you never find the murderer!" ”

"Not necessarily."

Qiao Chu snorted coldly, his eyes fell on the window, his eyes were deeper than the night, and he said, "Go and check Aunt Shen's whereabouts that day, I don't believe she will be so innocent, she must have panicked." ”

"Okay." Li Chengdu was also suspicious of the woman, and agreed very happily: "I'll go at dawn." ”

Qiao Chu frowned, lowered his head and thought for a while, seemed to be a little uneasy, and said, "That's it, it's dawn...... I'll go personally. ”

After that, he lay on the bed with a short body and closed his eyes, Li Chengdu looked at Qiao Chu in the night, and was so shocked that his mouth couldn't close a little, the master was indifferent to everything in the past, but he couldn't trust him at the moment!

Could it be that Jian Xiaoyun really had weight in his heart?

_

The sky brightened up unconsciously, the darkness faded, and the sky slowly turned white, and finally brightened.

The two stood at the door of the inn, Qiao Chu whispered a few orders to Li Chengdu, and then raised his legs and left, Li Chengdu's eyes sank slightly, he lowered his head and thought about it, and walked in the opposite direction to Qiao Chu.

The place where Shen Guzi said to do the work was a textile shop, which sold some handmade embroidery, and the backyard of the shop recruited some embroidery girls all year round.

Qiao Chu stood at the door of the shop, and when he saw that the plaque above simply said Wanhao Xiufang, he pulled the corners of his lips and stepped into the shop.

It's just that the silk, Suzhou embroidery, gorgeous clothes, and five-color brocade displayed in several rows of cabinets in this shop dazzled Qiao Chu for a while...... I saw the broken flowers, clump flowers, and broken branches embroidered on the men's and women's clothes...... Dark lines or bright embroidery, fine beads, it is really praiseworthy.

The guy immediately stepped forward and greeted Qiao Chu: "Childe, what do you want to choose, we have all ready-to-wear embroideries here, Childe can choose whatever you want." ”

Qiao Chu glanced at it lightly, and didn't seem to be particularly satisfied, and said, "Is that all?" ”

"Yes, yes, if these can't be eye-catching, there are better ones in the backyard, you can also tailor-made, robe styles, patterns, including shoes, we can customize them."

The guy hurriedly said, looking at Qiao Chu's extraordinary appearance, for fear of taking a big deal.

Qiao Chu seemed to be interested, raised his eyebrows and said, "So, your embroidery skills are excellent?" ”

The guy said with a smile on his face: "This is natural, not to mention the craftsmanship of our proprietress Wang's mother, let's just say that Aunt Shen in our town, her handiwork is one top and one top, the son can go and inquire, her embroidery is only in our shop." ”

When the guy talked about that sister-in-law Shen, his face changed, and his eyes were admired and proud for a while.

Qiao Chu smiled, seemed extremely satisfied, and said, "Okay, that's her." ”

But when the guy saw that Qiao Chu really decided on Aunt Shen, he was a little embarrassed for a while, and thought about it: "If the son is not in a hurry, can you wait for two more days, something has happened to her family recently......

"No, my son will leave tomorrow." Qiao Chu flicked his sleeves, and his tone was light.

Seeing that Qiao Chu seemed to be leaving, the guy was afraid that he would miss the big guest, so he hurriedly said: "Then ask our boss lady to measure your clothes, and after the son picks the pattern, he will embroider when he is free at night." ”

Qiao Chu frowned, as if he was a little reluctant, waved his hand and said, "That's it." ”

The guy immediately smiled happily and said to Qiao Chu, "Childe, please in the backyard." ”

_

There is a wing room in the backyard of the shop, and there is a small hall outside, and there is a screen in the small hall, and there is a thick curtain hanging behind the screen, and some measuring utensils are hung.

Mother Wang is a woman about fifty years old, with a simple and honest face, and at this moment she is holding a ruler to carefully measure Qiao Chu's clothes, and she doesn't have much to say.

Qiao Chu's eyes fluttered, he raised his eyebrows and thought about it, and said casually: "Then something happened to Aunt Shen's family, can this embroidery still be done?" ”

Mother Wang sighed low when she heard this, and said with a hint of pity in her tone: "Yes, that sister-in-law Shen's life is very miserable, his father-in-law is a lazy person, and he likes to gamble, but he has a lot of foreign debts, if Aunt Shen doesn't work, how can he repay the debts?" ”

Qiao Chu pondered for a moment, and also sighed lowly, as if he was also lamenting the unfairness of the woman's fate, and said in a low voice: "It's really a tragic woman, so how did her husband die?" ”

Mother Wang shook her head again and again while measuring Qiao Chu's clothes, and sighed: "I don't know how she died, even the government can't say why, she has been working here for me that day, or the neighbor saw that her kitchen was smoking all the time, and it was on fire before she came here to inform her, poor woman, I was going back with her at that time, hey, didn't you see that scene at that time......"

Mother Wang's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was recalling the scene of that day, she couldn't bear it, stopped the movement in her hand, raised her hand and touched her tears, and sighed: "One day husband and wife hundred days, although that gold is not good to Aunt Shen, but after all, a husband and wife, that Aunt Shen was crying in the dark, if I didn't pull it, she would have thrown herself into the kitchen, and she would be buried with that gold, the pillar of the kitchen is not strong, if she is smashed in, she really can't get out!" ”

"Oh?" Qiao Chu raised his eyebrows, as if he had gotten a clue from Wang's mother's mouth, and he said in a deep voice: "The pillars in the kitchen are not strong?" ”

Mother Wang nodded and said sadly: "Yes, that Zhang Jin is a master who does not learn and has no skills, it is too difficult for him to squander the house, and he does not repair it, the roof and pillars of the kitchen are already crumbling, and the fire has been burned for a while, and it is even more tilted, the one that Aunt Shen accidentally did, the entire kitchen collapsed, and Zhang Jin's body burned for a long time before it was extinguished." ”

Mother Wang recalled the scene at that time, and patted her chest again and again, as if she was still afraid: "Fortunately, I quickly pulled Shen out of my eyes, otherwise she would have been martyred with Zhang Jin." ”

Qiao Chu's eyes shrank, his eyes flashed, and he hooked the corners of his lips, but his voice was faintly emotionless, and he said meaningfully: "Their husband and wife are really in love......"

"Yes, yes, Aunt Shen is really an infatuated woman."

Mother Wang really sighed, and began to measure Qiao Chu's clothes again, Qiao Chu sneered lightly and asked, "Mother Wang, can you be sure that on the day Zhang Jin died, Aunt Shen was here all the time and didn't leave for a moment?" ”

Qiao Chu's question seemed to stump her for a while, Mother Wang stopped what she was doing again, scratched her head, her eyes lit up for a while, as if she remembered something, and said: "When Gongzi said this, I remembered it, that day, Aunt Shen seemed to have left for a while." ”

"Gone for a while?" Qiao Chu turned his head to look at her, with a slight smile on his face.

Mother Wang patted her head, seemed to really remember, and nodded again and again: "Yes, the old woman remembered, when Aunt Shen was about Shenshi, she left for a while, she said that she was going to cook fish for her father-in-law, and he wanted to eat dinner!" ”

"Fish?"

Qiao Chu's eyes fell on the void, sank slightly, and the smile on her face became more and more obscure, Mother Wang was a little suspicious at the moment, looked at Qiao Chu with a trace of vigilance in her eyes, and asked, "Why is Childe so interested in Zhang Jin's affairs?" ”

Qiao Chu glanced at her lightly, the smile on the corner of his lips became deeper and deeper, and said meaningfully: "I, yes...... Shen Guzi is interested. ”
