“…… Little Hou Ye, Xiao Hou Ye, is this it? Suddenly, there was a clear voice in his ears, which made Pei Shuyi come back to his senses.

He hurriedly turned his head, but saw Chen Ying looking at him, and there was a trace of doubt in his clean eyes.

Chen Ying called for a long time, but Pei Shu seemed to be gone, and she didn't know what she was thinking, she was strange.

Looking at these eyes, Pei Shu suddenly felt that his waist and eyes were hot, and he hurriedly looked left and right in disguise.

At this time, they are standing in front of a small courtyard, the lintel on the word "Liufang" is golden and bright, lined with thin clouds, the sun is like a bundle, but someone is dipped in the sun for ink, waving this word.

"It's here, I'm sorry, I'm a little distracted." Pei Shu coughed and stepped forward to push the door.

"Dumb", the wooden door slowly opened, and he stretched out his arm to make a "please" movement: "It's all in the main room, please come with me." ”

Chen Ying nodded, lifted the hem of her skirt, climbed the stairs, looked around, and asked, "Is there still anyone living in the compound now?" ”

The location where they are is the compound with many exquisite guest houses, where Mo Zijing, Qian Tianchuan, Lao Meng, and Lao Ge all lived in the courtyard.

Pei Shu led Chen Ying to step onto the verandah, and said in a deep voice: "This courtyard has been cleared, and now it is not inhabited, Lao Meng and Lao Ge will set off tomorrow and go back to Ningxia." ”

Chen Ying nodded silently.

That's fine, otherwise there will be a lot of people and people will always be uneasy.

Keeping everyone suspicious is Mr. Detective's criterion, and Chen Ying is not immune to its influence.

After walking along the verandah, Chen Ying suddenly remembered something, hurriedly stopped, and said to Pei Shu: "Can you please help Xun Zhen and Zhishi find a place to rest?" ”

In the next autopsy work, it is better that these two little girls are not present.

Pei Shu understood, and immediately ordered Lang Tingyu to find a housekeeper's mother and take the two maids to the side compartment to rest, and Chen Ying went to the main room with him.

Speaking of which, these small courtyards have a similar layout, with only three main rooms. After the two entered the house, Pei Shu said: "The two corpses are separated, the male corpse is in the west room, and the female body is in the east room, which one does Ah Ying want to see first?" ”

"Male corpse." Chen Ying picked one at random.

Pei Shu had nothing to do, and the two of them then moved into the western room.

As soon as I entered the house, the candles filled the room and the bright light was dazzling, which was much better than the outdoor light.

"According to your previous arrangement for Qian Tian's autopsy, I asked someone to light the candles first, and this corpse bed is also set up on a high place to facilitate your actions." Pei Shu explained authentically.

Chen Ying was happy to see such a tacit helper and fiancé, so she smiled and bowed to him: "It's good to do this, thank you." ”

This was just the most common sentence, but Pei Shu listened to it, but the boss was uncomfortable, and his waist and eyes were hot again.

He subconsciously wanted to touch it, but he suddenly felt something was wrong halfway, and hurriedly raised his arm and waved it a few times, laughing a little embarrassed: "What's that...... That's what I should do, why should Ah Ying be so polite. ”

When he said this, he tilted his head slightly, his eyes did not make contact with Chen Ying, and the original color could not be seen on his black face for a long time, and his expression was even more uncertain.

Fortunately, Chen Ying didn't notice his strange appearance at all, and was carefully looking at the corpse bed at this time.

The corpse was wrapped in a white cloth, and the bed was surrounded by a circle of thick copper pipes, and the walls of the pipes were so dense and cool that the whole room was cold.

"There's no ice in this brass pipe, right?" Chen Ying couldn't help but ask.

Pei Shu was pulled back to his senses by this question, stunned, and nodded and said, "Exactly." This is what Lao Jiu came up with, after the ice cubes in the copper pipe turn into water, they can be poured out and replaced with new ice cubes. Thanks to this method, the body was not damaged much along the way. ”

Chen Ying couldn't help but praise it: "This method is really wonderful." ”

Lao Jiu, a former bandit military advisor, is quite wise, and the method he came up with is really good.

It is not surprising that ice cubes are used to store corpses, but this method can be used to cool the corpses without contaminating the corpses with ice water, which is really a double win.

Hearing what Chen Ying said, Pei Shu grinned: "No matter how smart Lao Jiu is, he can only be deflated in front of Ah Ying." ”

He laughed with white teeth, and said: "I heard Lao Jiu complain to Lang Tingyu, saying that although he is good at using tricks, but fighting wits with Ah Ying is the most unwise move in his life, and he really regrets it." ”

After that, he finally laughed, and his smile was so bright that he was happy to be praised by others.

In the battle of the first line of heaven that year, "Nine Lives" and Chen Ying fought several battles of wit, all of which ended in failure, and then, Chen Ying led everyone out of the labyrinth of Beizhuang. Since that time, Pei Shu has decided that the smartest person in the world, if his daughter-in-law is called second, no one dares to call him first.

Chen Ying also smiled when she heard this: "No matter what, Lao Jiu is now used by you, and it is better than fooling around on the rivers and lakes." ”

As she spoke, she stepped forward, lifted the shroud, and lowered her eyes to look at it.

The body is in good condition, however, there is still some degree of decomposition.

Under the conditions of the Great Chu Dynasty, and in the hottest summer, this situation was inevitable, and Chen Ying had already prepared.

She took out gloves, masks, charcoal and other things from her sleeves, and nodded to Pei Shu: "You can start." ”

Pei Shu immediately retreated a few points next to him and adjusted the position of the butter candlestick to keep the light in the best condition.

Taking this opportunity, Chen Ying took out the briefing and reviewed the incident again.

According to Lao Jiu's account, when they were tracking the whereabouts of the silver two in the ink embezzlement case, they stumbled upon a Penglai County scribe named Liu Pan, that is, the male corpse in front of him, whose whereabouts were very suspicious, so they decided to follow up and investigate.

Only this Liu Pan is very alert, although Lao Jiu and they are extremely careful, they are still discovered by him. He was also calm, on the surface everything was as usual, and secretly planned to sneak away.

Fortunately, that Lao Jiu also has a brain, and he saw the clues from the clues, and immediately decided to arrest him.

The arrest operation was just six days ago, Lao Jiu and his entourage touched the door at night, but unexpectedly, Liu Pan was killed at home, and there was a female corpse with a broken face in the yard.

The strange thing is that the female corpse was bleeding from seven holes, and she was actually poisoned to death.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Lao Jiu simply revealed his identity to the government, and then used both open and dark means to find out Liu Pan.

It turned out that this Liu Pan was an orphan, no old and no young, although he was forty years old, he had never married a wife, and he had no good children.

This raises the question: why is there a female corpse in the courtyard of a man who lives alone?

Who is this woman?

Why did she die in Liu Pan's house?

In order to find out the truth, Lao Jiu dug Liu Pan's residence three feet into the ground, but found nothing.

Liu Pan already had the intention of absconding, and he would not leave any clues, and Lao Jiu and they didn't even find a piece of paper, let alone anything else.
