Wrap the veil around my eyes, watch me drink the medicine, Zheng Zhuzhu went out briskly, I don't know why, listening to her footsteps, I feel that she is very happy, this kind of happiness at this moment, is it suitable?

"Hey, Shangguan Gongzi-" Zheng Zhuzhu seemed to be about to go out, and met someone at the gate of the courtyard.

"Oh, I'll come and see Miss Yan." The visitor replied with a smile in his voice.

Shangguan Gongzi? In the entire town, only the newly arrived county official Shangguan Yan was resurnamed.

Zheng Zhuzhu said softly: "She just drank the medicine, and she shouldn't have fallen asleep at this time." I'm going to call her. ”

I stood up because the window of my door was facing the courtyard, and if the window was open, I could see my room from the courtyard, and I could see everything in the courtyard when I stood in the room.

Shangguan Yan obviously saw me, quieted down, and greeted warmly: "Miss Yan's eyes, are they better?" ”

He didn't seem surprised that my eyes were sick, so I touched the wall and walked out, saying, "Thank you." Sir, please be seated. ”

At this time, Zheng Zhuzhu had already come to help me, took me to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down, poured us tea, and then said, "The two of you are chatting slowly, I'll go out and get busy first." ”

As soon as Zheng Jewel left, I was a little inexplicably relaxed. I know she's helping me in everything, but if she has other purposes, it will frighten me.

Shangguan Yan pushed the teacup to my hand, and I felt the heat of the hot tea spreading to my hand through the wall of the cup, but I was always hot when I was sick now, and warm and hot things made me very resistant, so I shrank my hand and said, "Lord Shangguan came to me because of the murder?" ”

Shangguan Yan said sincerely: "It is really helpless to take the liberty of disturbing the girl's recuperation, but the matter of the death case cannot be delayed, and the longer it takes, the more difficult it will be." ”

I suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "How could Lord Shangguan know that I have a disease in my eyes?" ”

Although Han Sanxiao is gossipy, these things will not be said to others, and Song Lingjian is even more impossible. Xia Xia hasn't been there at all these days, so why is this Shangguan Yan not surprised by the matter of my eyes, as if he should have known about it?

Shangguan Yan was quiet, his voice was very soft, slightly embarrassed, and said, "Last time I read the letter in the girl's room, I was also in the courtyard ...... below."

I was stunned, the afternoon I read the letter, and in my madness it was true that I had caught a glimpse of a number of people standing outside the door, but I had no mind to pay attention to it, and had already been swallowed up by grief.

"On that day, the adults also came?" I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, that stupid appearance made outsiders look at me.

"As soon as the Kim case came out, I sorted out some of her contacts before her death, and I wanted to ask for some clues...... But I didn't expect it...... It's presumptuous......" Shangguan Yan said very tactfully.

"That is to say, on the day I read the letter, Jin Niang's body had been found by Xia Xia, that is, Xia Xia had already gone to Liucun since that day, and she ...... She was there for three days and three nights before I remembered that I was gone......"

Shangguan Yan sighed and said: "I am quite self-reproachful for this matter, I have visited Liucun so many times, and I am close at hand, but I didn't notice it. ”

"So where is she these three days? They said they had found her near the foggy slope, how could she have been in a coma there for so long? ”

Shangguan Yan said: "It seems that Miss Yan's two friends didn't tell the girl that Xia Xia was found at the door of Granny Xie's house on the edge of the foggy slope. ”

I stood with a chill: "Granny Xie?!" ”

From the discovery of the Kim family to the discovery of Xia Xia in the past three days, only she knows her whereabouts. How is she now? ”

I nodded plausibly, okay? It's not good, what happened in the past three days made her seem like a different person.

"That, it's not that Xia Xia found gold...... Mother? How could no one see her? ”

It was the passers-by who heard her scream, and by the time the sound passed, there was no one left. There were still her baskets scattered on the side, and the villagers were not at ease so they reported the case to the yamen. ”

My head was hot, my eyes began to hurt again, and I smiled bitterly: "Am I now, only by remembering as many things related to Jin Niang as possible, can I be considered to be able to help, and I am not considered a complete waste?" ”

Shangguan Yan said softly: "This incident happened suddenly, and the girl has no choice but to be ill, so you don't have to be too yourself."

I sorted out my thoughts and recounted the things I had remembered a long time ago: "The last time I saw Jin Niang was on the first day of this month. Business dealings with her are generally set to pick up the goods on the first day of the new year and settle the account once on the fifteenth. After the first day of junior high school, I haven't seen her again, fifteen books are going to settle the bill, but this time the volume of goods is more demanding, so I negotiated with her at the time, and I will check out when the goods are all delivered. She was very talkative and readily agreed. ”

"That is, after the first year of junior high school, the girl has not seen death again-Jin?"

I nodded, "Yes." Jin Niang never goes out of the foggy slope area, if I don't go, it is impossible to meet her. ”

"Did you leave the note on the Kim family's door?"

Note?

"It should be Xia Xialiu. Recently, there was a problem with her business dealings, so I sent Xia Xia to find her several times, but it was all in vain...... I should have thought that something must have happened...... Jin Niang never leaves the house, and if she suddenly disappears, something must have happened......"

"Something is wrong with your business? May you take the liberty of asking what the question is? ”

I sighed: "There is adulteration in the gold thread, but fortunately it was discovered early, otherwise...... It is precisely because of this incident that we go to Jin Niang so often, hoping that she can give us an explanation, but she ......"

But she's dead.

"But there's one thing, it's weird." I'm trying to make a contribution.

"Huh?"

"On the fifth or sixth day of the Lunar New Year, a basket was placed in front of my house. The basket was left on the road when I went to Liucun to look for her, and I thought that Jin Niang recognized the basket and asked someone to help me bring it back. ”

"How can the girl be sure that it's the Kim family?"

"Because, because there are some gold threads in it, who else will there be besides Jin Niang?"

"Is there anything else in the basket besides the gold thread?"

There's also a little dumbbell, but let's not mention something so insignificant. I shook my head.

"What does the girl know about the Kim family?"

"She is very nice, good-looking, gentle, and cheerful in business, never caring about small money. So although the foggy slope is so remote and scary, I haven't changed the line for so many years. ”

"Did the girl hear her mention having dealings with the rest of the town?"

"It's not clear, it should be very little, she doesn't seem to like to have contact with outsiders. As for who to argue with, it shouldn't be, she has such a good temper. I really don't understand why someone would want to kill her......

Shangguan Yan said softly: "Killing people is often a moment, and all grievances and hatreds are just that moment's anger is not well controlled. ”

"No matter how angry you are, you won't want to kill......"

"The girl is kind-hearted, so naturally she can't be alike."

I'm not kind-hearted, I'm cowardly.

"Lord Shangguan—" I wanted to say something.

"Does the girl remember anything? It doesn't hurt to say that. Shangguan Yan said patiently.

"Golden Lady...... Jin Niang was strangled to death, wasn't it? ”

Shangguan Yan sighed: "The details of the case, the girl still knows less." ”

I clenched my fist hard and said, "The outside world said that she was strangled by her own hair...... Could it be—could it be that it was just an illusion, that she was strangled to death by a golden thread? Can you find out ......?"

I heard Shangguan Yan's heartbeat suddenly speed up, and the voice that had been gentle suddenly became a little cold: "Where did the girl hear these rumors?" ”

"No—no—I didn't hear it anywhere, I guessed it myself."

Shangguan Yan's reaction made me more sure of my guess, Jin Niang was strangled by the golden thread, and the prediction of my nightmare always had a certain accuracy, just like the position of Lian Xiao falling off the cliff, which was heartbreakingly accurate.

"How can you guess about the death case?" Shangguan Yan was skeptical.

My eyes were hot, maybe tears were oozing again, I stared hard, trying to see Shangguan Yan's face through the gap in the gauze, I stood up, leaned down at him and said, "Does Lord Shangguan believe in dreams?" ”

"Dreams?" Shangguan Yan was stunned.

"That dream made me uneasy, so I kept destroying Xia Xia to find Jin Niang. I had a similar dream many years ago, and soon the person in the dream died, very similar to the plot in my dream, and I thought that this dream might also be related to the death of Jin Niang. ”

Shangguan Yan was curious: "Oh, what kind of dream?" ”

"I dreamed that I went to her house to get thread, and she was happier than usual, wearing her favorite orange dress with big sleeves and waist and lake blue gold leaf shoes, and she was dressed beautifully. Her long hair is like a pearl, and there is a beautiful little flower pinned to her hair. She always cared about what she was wearing, and she said that she would always be in the best shape so that she could wait for the person to come back. ”

Shangguan Yan didn't interrupt me, and I don't know if he was listening carefully.

I suppressed the urge to vomit and continued to talk about my dreams:

She told me happily that the person she was waiting for had returned, and she had made a long necklace out of gold thread and said that she would wear it to her when he returned. But before she could talk, she was strangled by the gold necklace she wore around her neck. She was angry and sad, and said that her beautiful appearance was flawed, and that the man would never want to see her again, and then she ran back to her room, and refused to come out to see me again. ”

Shangguan Yan didn't think I was talking crazy, and asked me in surprise: "Who is she waiting for?" ”

I shook my head, "I don't know. I only know that she lives in Wupo for a long time and doesn't go out, just to wait for someone. ”

Shangguan Yan seemed interested and continued to ask me, "Are there any other unusual things in that girl's dream?" ”

Of course there is, I also dreamed that Song Ling's arrow looked through the mirror and choked Jin Niang's neck!

No, no—

I thought back to that dream, and slowly rewind the plot, back to the moment when Jin Niang beckoned me to enter the door-
