Lan Qing was covered by no clothes, her eyes were hazy with tears, and she finally restrained her emotions, lowered her voice, and said, "I am pregnant with Mr. Zhou's child." ”

Wuyi was stunned, she really didn't think of this, hurriedly held down Lan Qing, signaled her not to speak, and then Wuyi walked to the window again, looked outside a few times, turned around and quickly returned to Lan Qing's side, and said: "These days, you live in my room, and I will tell people to the outside world that you have saved enough money over the years and redeemed yourself." ”

Lan Qing listened and nodded repeatedly.

"From now until the case is closed, you are not allowed to take a single step out of this house, nor can you make a sound, for the sake of your child to survive safely, you know?" Wuyi grabbed Lan Qing's hand tightly, his eyes full of seriousness.

"I understand."

Lan Qing is a smart girl, although the government has blocked the news at present, and even Wuyi does not know the cause of Zhou Xuanming's death and death, but she can almost guess that a person like Zhou Xuanming, if there is an enemy, it must be a shocking hatred, she still has a child in her womb, and she must not let herself have an accident.

"Sister Xuedian, there is one thing I don't know whether to say or not." Lan Qing wiped her tears and sat down with her clothes.

"You say."

"Xuan Ming seemed to know that something might happen to him, so he came to me that day and gave me two booklets. Originally, I wanted to tell him that I had his child, but looking at him like that, it seemed serious. ”

Wuyi frowned: "What booklet?" ”

As he spoke, Lan Qing took out a book wrapped tightly in a handkerchief from his wide sleeve and handed it over: "I don't know, Xuanming said that it is very important, it is not safe to put it with him, so he wants me to keep it for him, and he will not let me see the things inside." ”

Wuyi took it, took the candle that was placed aside a little closer, carefully lifted the veil, and saw that on the outer cover of the booklet, the word "directory" was written with a gold pen, and in his hand, two thick copies.

Open it carefully, there is a series of names written in it, and below the names are official positions and time in office, as well as what they have done during their tenure.

"Sister Xuedian ......"

Lan Qing is an orphan who has never left Fan County since he was a child, so he naturally doesn't understand what this booklet means, but Wuyi is different, under the indoctrination of red beans, even if Wuyi has never seen it, he can name almost every official in the court.

The officials in the first booklet were students taught under Zhou Xuanming.

The officials on the second booklet are the protégés of Vice Prime Minister Wu Zhidun, as well as the officials who fell into the ground because of the prime minister's case.

Their net worth is not innocent, but Zhou Xuanming has been in Fan County for decades, but he has found out all these pickled things, and there are nothing more than his students helping.

With these two booklets on him, it is no wonder that he was killed.

Wuyi wrapped the two booklets in a handkerchief again, she thought, this booklet is not safe to put here in Lan Qing, she is pregnant with a child, her emotions can't fluctuate too much, and it is also unsafe to put it here for her, although she cheated to death through the case of red beans, but the other party is also a smart person, and he may not be tricked.

Wuyi's eyes narrowed, and he thought of someone.

After carrying the booklet, Wuyi patted Lan Qing on the shoulder: "Don't worry, since I know about this matter, I will definitely help you, and I will wronged you during this time." ”

"It's been so long, I haven't done anything for Xuanming, this grievance is nothing, I can bear it." Lan Qing wiped her tears and sat down quietly.

After comforting Lan Qing and going to sleep, Wuyi touched the two booklets in her arms, and suddenly felt that she was weighing a thousand pounds, and after putting it for a while, she felt a little unable to hold back, and the pressure was quite high.

Sleepless nights.

simply take advantage of the night and do things first, so as not to have too many dreams at night, thinking about this, and going out of the window without clothes.

Since the opening of Baishitang, Zhang Qiye has hardly slept a single night, and when the rooster crows, he has already sat in the front hall dressed up and packed up the medicinal herbs.

But today, Baishitang is not open.

When he knew about this, Zhang Jiusheng was still squatting outside the autopsy room in the Yamen, while Yun Sheng and Zhang Tong were comparing what the murder weapon that caused Zhou Xuanming's death was.

"What's going on? What about my eldest brother? ”

"I don't know, you go and have a look first, in the past, Dr. Zhang opened the door, but when we arrived today, the door was closed, and no one responded after shouting for a long time." A little medicine boy from Baishitang said timidly.

"Didn't tell me my father, did you?" Zhang Jiusheng squatted at the door and glanced at the room.

"No, we don't dare to tell."

Zhang Jiusheng pondered, patted his clothes, and said, "That's good, let me take a look." ”

In the autopsy room, Zhang Tong listened to the two of them, and after Zhang Jiusheng left, he poked Yunsheng's arm: "Do you want to go and see it too?" ”

"Don't worry, the eldest young master is not so easy to get into trouble." Yun Sheng didn't raise his head, after these days, she saw that the blood and flesh in front of her were completely immune, as Zhang Tong said, her eyes were as calm as water when she looked at the past.

"You have so much confidence in the eldest young master?" Zhang Tong was surprised.

Yun Sheng raised his head, held a square piece of meat in his left hand, and said extremely seriously: "Mr. Zhou was skinned when he was alive, and a little mercury penetrated into this meat. ”

Zhang Tong raised his eyebrows and didn't speak.

"The knife used by the murderer to cut the flesh was a sharp knife, very short and thin, and it was also the murder weapon that caused Mr. Zhou's death. We have roughly restored the original appearance of Mr. Zhou's neck, it seems that the murderer killed Mr. Zhou like killing a chicken, a knife directly wiped the neck, cut Mr. Zhou's throat, we did not find other holes in Mr. Zhou's skin, so Mr. Zhou finally died of blood, or ......" Yun Sheng frowned, paused before saying: "It was the blood that flowed into the trachea and suffocated to death." ”

If this is the case, Zhou Xuanming died little by little in despair, which is too cruel.

Zhang Tong neither nodded nor shook his head, let alone bothered that Yun Sheng did not answer his question just now, but just picked up a narrow section of fleshy tissue on the table and said, "This is Mr. Zhou's throat, because the murder weapon is sharp enough, and the murderer did not hesitate to move, so the incision is very smooth." ”

Immediately after that, Zhang Tong pinched up another piece of skin and two small pieces of meat, and pointed: "This piece of skin is near Mr. Zhou's neck, although this place is not obvious, there are traces of compression. These two pieces are pieces of meat near the neck, and if you look closely, there is bleeding, and both pieces are there. ”

Yun Sheng took it and looked at it carefully with a frown: "What does this mean?" ”

Zhang Tong took a deep breath: "This shows that when the murderer cut Mr. Zhou's throat, he covered the wound with something, so that the blood did not flow out so quickly, and Mr. Zhou did not die so quickly." ”

"My lord found Mr. Zhou's body at the end of yesterday. According to the residue of Mr. Zhou's stomach contents, it proves that those are the snacks in Miss Lanqing's room, and it also means that Mr. Zhou has not eaten anything since he left Hongdoutai. Coupled with the fact that there is still some undigested left, it can be roughly guessed that Mr. Zhou should have died within an hour and a half after leaving Hongdoutai at the end of the hour. Yun Sheng swallowed his saliva and continued: "It also shows that Mr. Zhou may be tortured for at least half an hour. ”

Yun Sheng couldn't accept it all of a sudden, letting a person watch himself being skinned, and then cutting off the flesh on his body like Ling Chi, and putting it in the basin one by one, this kind of torture method is too cruel, what kind of deep hatred and hatred can make a person so mad.

patting Yunsheng on the shoulder, Zhang Tong said softly: "Many things happen in this world, and there is not necessarily a reason for righteousness and brightness. ”

Yun Sheng didn't speak, only a little stunned.

"Didn't you roughly guess the height of the murderer before, how did Guan Chu lead people to search?" Yun Sheng didn't let himself be immersed in the memories of the past for too long, sniffed, looked up and asked Zhang Tong.

Zhang Tong licked his lips: "Guan Zhutou hasn't come back yet, I'll see if there are any other clues on these corpses, right?" ”

Yun Sheng nodded, but took off his gloves, Zhang Tong was a little surprised: "What?" Are you untested? ”

"I'm also going to visit Mr. Zhou's neighbors, maybe I can ask some clues, and I happened to go to Baishitang to have a look."

"Okay, then you can go."

Yun Sheng didn't hesitate too much, turned around and went out, all the way to Baishitang.

When she arrived, Baishitang had already opened the door normally, but she didn't see Zhang Qiye or Zhang Jiusheng, Yun Sheng greeted a few medicine boys in the front hall and walked to the back hall. Because of his body, Yun Sheng used to walk around Baishitang a lot, so he was very familiar, and he arrived at Zhang Qiye's room all the way, and before he knocked on the door, he heard faint voices in the room.

"Brother, this ......"

"Shh......h

Yun Sheng just wanted to stick it on the door frame and eavesdrop, but saw the door suddenly open, Zhang Qiye stood straight in front of him, Yun Sheng smiled: "Young Master, I heard that Baishitang didn't open the door this morning, are you okay?" ”

Zhang Qiye smiled warmly: "I'm fine." ”

Other than that, there is nothing else to say.

Yun Sheng waited and waited, and the smile on his face couldn't hold on, and then he asked again, "So what happened in the morning?" Can I listen to it? ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw Zhang Jiusheng poking out half of his head from behind: "What are you doing, men's affairs, women don't interfere." If you don't follow Zhang Tong in the yamen for an autopsy, what are you doing in the hospital, do you want to take medicine? Or do you want to get a needle? ”

Yun Sheng rolled his eyes extremely cooperatively: "Second Young Master, can you die if you don't scare me for a day?" ”

"Yes."

"I ......"

Zhang Jiusheng was dumbfounded, Yun Sheng waved his fist, and turned to smile at Zhang Qiye: "Young Master, it's best if you're fine, then I'll go back first." ”

Zhang Qiye's smile was impeccable, so that Yun Sheng couldn't catch any traces, because the atmosphere was too embarrassing, Yun Sheng stayed for a while and was driven back to the yamen by Zhang Jiusheng.

After Yun Sheng turned around and walked back step by step, Zhang Jiusheng breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Zhang Qiye helplessly: "Brother, what should I do with this booklet?" ”

Zhang Qiye didn't answer, but just stretched out his hand from behind his back, holding the two directories that Zhou Xuanming gave to Lan Qing before he died.

"Hot potato." Zhang Qiye muttered.
