Jin Xiaolou calmed down, turned his head sideways and looked at the handkerchief in Guo Ruyue's hand.

Thin, small needles glittering with cold light.

"Shopkeeper, I think she has to make something happen before she stops, today this thin needle was taken out by me, I think she will put it in tomorrow, should we take advantage of the little hoof to put it again, catch her?" Ruyue said indignantly.

This Ruyi's hands and feet are not clean and have been driven away once, but he still sees that she is pitiful and brings people to Jin Xiaolou and persuades her to give her another chance.

Who knows, not only did she not repent, but she also intensified her efforts to do such a thing, she was really a farmer and a snake, and kindness was exchanged for cold-blooded sausages.

Jin Xiaolou took the thin needle, took out the brocade from his arms, and put it together with the one the day before yesterday.

"No waiting." Jin Xiaolou pinched the brocade hand, she asked herself that it was very good to treat her buddies, and she was even more benevolent to this Ruyi, Jin Xiaolou wanted to ask Ruyi in person, why did she do this.

"Now let's go to the wishful room and ask clearly."

Guo Ruyue nodded, led Jin Xiaolou through the courtyard and walked to the left wing.

"She had a headache after lunch today, and she didn't see anyone all afternoon." Ruyue muttered, "The cat has been in the house every afternoon these days, and I don't know what the hell is going on!" ”

Standing in front of the door of the wing, Guo Ruyue reached out and knocked on the door.

For a long time, there was no movement inside.

Guo Ruyue was a little panicked: "Don't let her see the clues, she has already escaped, right?" ”

With that, he raised his leg and kicked at the door.

This first kick went down, and the door fluttered, but it didn't move at all, but it shook Ruyue back three steps, grinning and only crying out in pain.

Jin Xiaolou hurriedly helped her.

"Looks like this door is bolted." Jin Xiaolou took two steps forward to push the windows of the wing room, the windows on both sides of the backyard were facing the courtyard, Jin Xiaolou raised his hand and pushed hard, but he still couldn't push it, "The window is also locked." ”

For some reason, Jin Xiaolou had a bad premonition.

She quickly called two cooks and told them to slam the door open.

The two cooks were both strong men, tall and strong, and they bumped into each other several times in a row, and the banging sound attracted the maids and maids in the room to come out to see the excitement.

Huang Guizhi saw that Lin'er was awakened by the sound, and was humming and chirping to find someone, so he hurriedly put down the needlework in his hand, went to pick up Lin'er, and stood at the door of the opposite wing room to watch.

The two cooks, their faces flushed, took a deep breath, and slammed into the wooden door again.

I heard a loud bang, and the wooden door was finally slammed open, and Lin'er was so frightened that she cried loudly.

The scene in the room caused the two people at the door to turn pale and retreat again and again.

Jin Xiaolou took a step forward, and only then did he see that the door of the cave was full of red blood, dripping all over the house.

There was a large wooden barrel in the middle of the room, and in the bucket was a pool of turbid blood, and Ruyi only left one head exposed, his eyes closed, and his black hair was scattered but his clothes were neatly soaked in this blood water.

Seeing that the three people in front of him didn't dare to take a step into the house, Ruyue gritted her teeth, ran in, and reached out to probe Ruyi's snort.

The body is still warm, but there is no breath in the mouth and nose.

"Ruyi committed suicide!" Guo Ruyue blurted out, "Quick! Go to the officer! ”

Lu Yun on the side trembled, pulled his legs and ran towards the yamen.

The maids and maids in the courtyard were so frightened that they vomited two on the spot, and two more hurried to take leave and go home.

Jin Xiaolou stood in front of the door of the wing room, and she was also frightened, she thought that she was quite bold, but she couldn't stand such a scene.

But at the same time, I was scared, but I felt that something was not quite right.

Seeing that the yard was in a mess, Jin Xiaolou asked Gui Zhi to take the guys to rest in Shanji, and separate the backyard first, so as not to destroy the scene by too many people.

Jin Xiaolou can't solve the case, but she has watched a lot of TV and knows the importance of the first scene, so she didn't even go inside.

Those guys who want to take leave can't let them go, presumably someone from the government will ask them one by one.

After the situation came out, the blood stained on the cloth shoes imprinted the bright red footprints in the courtyard, and Jin Xiaolou finally understood that something was wrong.

She squatted down, reached out and touched the bloody footprints that Ruyue had just brought out on the ground, and frowned: "This is not blood." ”

It seems to be some kind of red dye, no wonder Jin Xiaolou felt strange at the beginning.

This room was full of bloodstains, and there should be a bloody smell, but not only did she not smell a little fishy, but the air was filled with a faint fragrance.

What's even more strange is that this big wooden barrel has long been unused, because a wooden board at the bottom of this barrel has turned up a few long and thick wooden thorns, and people will puncture their feet as soon as they enter.

At the moment, the guys in Shanji are bathing in another small wooden barrel.

was thinking about it, but before he got up, he saw Gui Zhi hurriedly running from outside with Lin'er in his arms: "Xiaolou, that Ruyi's brother is here, and he is making a big fuss in front of him." ”

"How did he know so fast?" Jin Xiaolou was stunned and surprised, got up and walked out with Guizhi.

Guo Ruyue also followed: "Didn't Lu Yun report to the official, Xu heard the wind from the yamen." ”

As soon as he turned around, he saw a man sitting at the door of Shanji.

The man was dressed in gray and had a pair of triangular eyes, and he was crying with snot and tears, and he was shouting for Shanji to return his sister's life.

It was already the time to return home, and there were fewer pedestrians on Xiangshui Street.

But as soon as the man began to cry, from time to time a large number of pedestrians gathered.

"My sister and I depend on each other, Jin Xiaolou, the boss of your mountain record, has a black heart and a poisonous heart, I don't know why I want to kill my sister! Dear fathers and fellow villagers, please help me to denounce justice! ”

Jin Xiaolou listened to him shouting more and more outrageous, he sympathized with him for losing his relatives and didn't drive him away, and couldn't help shouting at this moment: "Ruyi is a suicide, the doors and windows of the house are locked to death, everyone in the mountain can testify, you don't want to talk nonsense!" ”

"Is it wronged, it is up to the county lord to decide!" The man looked sad and broken, and after shouting this, he saw a group of officials carrying torches coming here, and the old lord Bo walked in the middle.

The man knelt down and stepped forward to hug the thin leg of the young man: "My lord, you have to make decisions for the grass people's sister!" ”

The young lord is young, but he is the most upright, and he picked up the man and promised him: "Don't worry, I will definitely find out the cause of Ling Mei's death and give you an explanation." ”

The official messenger guarded outside, and everyone in the mountain record followed the young master Bo to the backyard wing.

At this time, the moonlight was thick, and the moonlight as cold as water shone in the courtyard well, adding a sense of sadness.

As soon as she saw Ruyi's corpse, Song Yitao cried bitterly again, whimpering and holding on to the magnolia tree in the courtyard, while pitying her sister-in-law, she cursed Jin Xiaolou for not dying well.

The old lord Bo ordered to check the body, but it took a moment to get results.

He retreated with the box on his shoulder, and arched his hand to the young lord and said: "Song Ruyi girl has two turns of hemp rope around her neck, her face is bruised and swollen, and there are blood spots on her eye membranes. ”

He continued: "As for whether there are any other injuries, we will have to go back to the yamen for a careful autopsy." ”

As soon as the words fell, Song Yitao immediately jumped up and pointed at Jin Xiaolou: "Master Guan, I'm right!" My sister is the one who killed this Jin Xiaolou! ”

"Why do you say that?" The old lord Bo turned his head and asked him.

Song Yitao paused, his eyes bulged, and he opened his mouth and said: "A few days ago, Boss Jin sent my sister home, saying that her hands and feet were not clean, I don't know what kind of person my sister is?" Where is her hands and feet not clean, my sister is stupid, she saw things she shouldn't see, and said things she shouldn't say! ”

"I didn't know at first, but if I forced my sister to beg Boss Jin to return to Shanji, how did I know that this was pushing her into the fire pit!" Song Yitao's tears were like rain, with a look of regret, "Yesterday my sister also said that this Jin boss was not kind to her, she was afraid, afraid of dying in this mountain record, I persuaded her to do the New Year, let's leave after the New Year, how do you know today...... She is really dead today...... It's all my fault! ”

The old lord Bo nodded, and Chong Jin Xiaolou said: "This incident happened in Shanji, no matter what, I have to ask Boss Jin and Shanji's guys to go to the yamen with me, and this Shanji must also affix the seal of the yamen, close the door for a few days, until the murderer is found out, please don't mind Boss Jin." ”

……

The seal was quickly pasted, and the officials guarded Shanji inside and out, and the backyard of Shanji was used as a murder scene to prevent any idlers from entering.

Shanji's men were all detained in the yamen, tossing back and forth all night, and questioning everyone to the bottom.

But the door and window were tightly closed, which everyone in the mountain record saw, and the two cooks slammed the door open before entering.

Unless the murderer was a mosquito, he couldn't fly into the tightly locked room, and no one could kill Song Ruyi.

Until dawn, when everyone was sleepy and crooked, the man who had examined the corpse all night came up to the hall and whispered a few words in the ear of the young master.

The old lord Bo nodded, and immediately ordered someone to come and search his body.

After searching for a while, there were all bits and pieces of innocuous things, until a mother-in-law found a Jinpa from Jin Xiaolou's body.

When he opened the brocade handkerchief, there were two thin needles wrapped in it.

The mother-in-law immediately presented this handkerchief to the old lord Bo, who raised his eyebrows, glanced at Jin Xiaolou, and said loudly: "This thing is yours?" ”

Jin Xiaolou was shocked, shook his head, and said truthfully: "This is Ruyi, Ruyi doesn't know why, I put a thin needle into my Shanji's food for two days in a row, and yesterday I went to Ruyi's door to ask about this matter, this matter Ruyue and Lu Yun both know, they can testify." ”

"Alright, everyone else can go back." The people under the old lord Bo Chongtang arrived, "If there is something, I will summon you to come and inquire again, Jin Xiaolou, Lu Yun, and the situation is like the moon, you all stay." ”

Jin Xiaolou hurriedly asked: "But what does it have to do with this silver needle?" ”

The young lord nodded: "Do you know that Song Ruyi's eyes, ears and mouth were all pierced into this thin needle!" ”
