The two stood on the bank of the river, Zhang Tong was afraid that Yunsheng would fall, and when he stood next to her, one hand did not forget to hold her arm tightly.

"There is no trace of rope binding on Chen Jinzhi's body." Yun Sheng looked at the rippling blue river and said.

"Yes."

Yun Sheng frowned slightly, but instead asked, "Why?" Sink the corpse, unless the rope is gnawed by the fish, the corpse will never float up, and Chen Jinzhi will never be found. ”

Or...... The murderer wanted to sink him, but he didn't expect ......" Zhang Tong hesitated.

"He jumped down on his own, so the murderer didn't have time."

It's a possibility.

People who practice martial arts, especially those who wander the rivers and lakes, have more or less experienced the days of licking blood from the knife edge, and if they don't have that little adaptability, they won't live that long.

Chen Jinzhi hid in Fan County, because Fan County is remote, even if he is a businessman, he rarely passes by here, and no one can find him so easily.

Yun Sheng walked slowly along the bank of the river, Zhang Tong following her.

The place just now was the place where Chen Jinzhi's body was found, not the place where Chen Jinzhi fell into the water.

The moat is very big, so big that if someone is sunk in it, it is unlikely that it will be found even in the past fifty years and one hundred years, Zhang Chi was lucky at the beginning, and Chen Jinzhi is also lucky now.

But they were not lucky enough to die.

Suddenly, Yun Sheng stopped in one place.

Zhang Tong leaned over and saw that there were two pairs of messy footprints in front of Yunsheng's toes, some overlapping and some relative, and some weeds had been trampled off their stems and leaves, and they could be crushed to the side, dying.

Yun Sheng could almost imagine what kind of confrontation Chen Jinzhi had with his murderer that night.

The moss near the river bank was trampled on a little, Yun Sheng pointed and said: "This is the place where Chen Jinzhi fell into the water, the murderer saw him fall into the water, and he was afraid of alarming others, so he didn't continue to chase him, but turned around and ran." ”

"Yes."

"But ......"

Yun Sheng straightened up, looked around, and found that the area around the east of the city had become much less crowded than before, she thought about it, and quickly understood, because Zhang Chi's body was found here before, and the people were always afraid of bad luck. They avoided it, so it took so long for Zhang Chi's body to be found by the city patrol hunters, not by the people.

"Other than that, we don't have any other clues, do you want to go to Chen Jinzhi's house and have another look?"

"Yes." Yunsheng immediately responded.

The two rushed to Chen Jinzhi's house without stopping, which was in the east of the city and not far from the moat. Thinking about it this way, it is reasonable that Chen Jinzhi will have an accident in the moat in the east of the city.

Chen Jin lived alone, he was murdered, there were only two white lanterns hanging in front of his house, presumably a kind neighbor helped him, in order to show his heart, after all, when they meet, people's hearts are flesh and blood.

Pushing open the door, the courtyard was extremely clean, but because of Chen Jinzhi, there were more fallen leaves in the yard.

The neighbor who reported the crime was only separated from him by a wall, and the sound insulation was not very good, and as soon as the wooden door was opened, there was a slight movement, and the other side heard it through the wall, and the neighbor also came out and poked out half of his head from the other side of the wall.

"Who's coming? Is it Nishikiyuki's family? The neighbor asked.

Zhang Tong looked at the past, he was a middle-aged man, honest and honest, and at first glance he was the kind of honest and honest people, who had never experienced much turmoil in his life, and spent his life in peace and stability, which was their greatest blessing.

"We belong to the Yamen." Zhang Tongying said.

The middle-aged man blinked, and then half of his head disappeared behind the wall, and after a while, there was a slight sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and the neighbor actually came directly.

"Although I met Jinzhi in Pingshui and only drank wine once, he is really good, he just doesn't like dirty, everything else is good, and he also taught a few tricks to my youngest son, the two officials must avenge him, looking for the murderer who killed a thousand knives, I Hou Lao Liu is grateful." The middle-aged man bowed his hand as he spoke, and Zhang Tong hurriedly held his arm.

"It is the duty of our yamen to catch the murderer and solve the unjust case, you can rest assured."

"Okay, okay." Hou Lao Liu said again and again, and did not leave after speaking, following behind Yun Sheng and Zhang Tong, as if he wanted to look at them.

Zhang Tong felt constrained, turned his head and asked, "Don't you have to work?" ”

"No, no, I'm resting at home today, my son took his daughter-in-law out of the stall, I'm here, you two can ask me anything at any time, you know everything." Hou Lao Liu was extremely earnest.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Everyone said so, so Zhang Tong stopped driving people and took Yunsheng into the house.

As Zhang Tong said, Chen Jinzhi's house was clean and dusty, and Yun Sheng stood there, as if he saw a person who was working hard to survive.

This house is not too big, but Chen Jinzhi's intentions are everywhere.

Two or three potted plants, lush and verdant, actually made Yunsheng see a little warm spring in this cold day. The tea cups on the table are neatly arranged, and the beds, pillows and quilts are also neatly folded, as Zhang Tong said, there is indeed a faint aromatic smell, the smell is refreshing, Chen Jinzhi is very attentive to the environment he is in.

Yun Sheng was very distressed.

She took a deep breath and began to search separately from Zhang Tong.

Chen Jinzhi placed things very well, one by one, they were all placed in the cabinet and lined up in turn. From top to bottom, from left to right, spring, summer, autumn and winter, at a glance.

"Brother Hou, I want to ask, when you drank with him before, did he only talk about his age?" Zhang Tong asked while flipping through the futon.

Hou Lao Liu was standing at the door, he didn't dare to go in, for fear that he would touch somewhere.

"Actually, I asked him for a drink that day to thank him."

"Oh?" Zhang Tong stopped what he was doing and listened intently to what he said.

According to Hou Laoliu, that afternoon, Hou Laoliu's eldest son Hou Ze came back from the stall, and he didn't know how to provoke a few gangsters on the way, so he had to collect any money from them, otherwise he would smash the guys in his stall.

Hou Ze was short-tempered, and immediately said why should he give it, and blurted out three words, those little gangsters saw that they were hard-boned, so they gave Hou Ze a stick on their heads, and Hou Ze's head was broken at that time, and he was bleeding all over his face.

Hou Ze's mother-in-law was unfrightened, and when she saw the blood, she howled. It also happened that Chen Jinzhi bought a few side dishes from outside and was going to eat them at home, and when he saw the injustice on the way, he pulled out his knife to help, beat up the gangsters, and saved Hou Ze.

Hou Laoliu's family was grateful to Dade, and when they saw the dinner point, Chen Jinzhi still had cold dishes in his hand, so he invited them to drink and eat together, which was regarded as a thank you. Chen Jinzhi was unhappy, and he shirked it vigorously, but he couldn't bear the enthusiasm of Hou Laoliu's family, and finally sat at someone's dinner table.

Chen Jinzhi's amount of alcohol is actually not very good, and it is okay to have a few drinks at home, but on this day, Hou Lao Liu's house, he drank more than twice as much wine as usual, and the conversation began to increase. It can be said that whatever Hou Lao Liu asked, he answered, but Hou Lao Liu didn't ask a few words, Chen Jinzhi was drunk and unconscious, and Hou Ze carried him home later.

When he woke up the next day, Chen Jinzhi knew that he was too bad for drinking, so he hurriedly asked Hou Lao Liu if he had any nonsense.

Hou Lao Liu said no, but Chen Jinzhi didn't believe it, and forced Hou Lao Liu to five taels of silver, no matter what he said, it was all as if he was farting.

In fact, on that day, Chen Jinzhi really said a lot of things about himself.

It's not just about age.

Zhang Tong frowned and looked at Hou Laoliu with a mysterious look on his face.

"Is he from the capital?" Yun Sheng was rummaging through Chen Jinzhi's wardrobe, but his ears kept listening to Hou Lao Liu's chatter, and then he interjected and asked.

Hou Lao Liu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that the handsome young man in front of him was really flexible, and nodded again and again: "He is from the capital, and this official is so smart." ”

Yun Sheng stopped what she was doing, she was holding a pair of Chen Jinzhi's black boots in her hand, and there was a pattern on the bottom of the boots, which Yun Sheng was very familiar with and had seen several times.

once

It's under the Prime Minister's table.

Another time, it was the place where Lu Zhi died.

Half a plum blossom.

These black boots were hidden at the bottom of the wardrobe by Chen Jinzhi, Yun Sheng had just turned them out, and the half of the plum blossoms had no beauty in Yun Sheng's eyes at this time, only thick fear and hatred.

At that time, Zhang Jiusheng said to help her check, but in the end he still didn't reply to her, he said that he didn't find it, and Yun Sheng believed it at that time.

But now they don't believe it.

Zhang Jiusheng found out, but didn't tell her.

Now, she saw it again in a dead man she had never met.

Lu Zhi did things for Wu Zhidun, and later he had palpitations and wanted to accumulate some yin virtue for his youngest daughter, someone knew about his possible betrayal, and he knew that he was going to die, so he left a clue for Yun Sheng.

Someone killed Chen Jinzhi again, what did Chen Jinzhi do?

Yun Sheng's hand holding the boot trembled imperceptibly.

Her mind was in disarray, and her body could barely support herself.

Zhang Tong noticed that something was wrong with her, and hurriedly ran over to help her: "What's wrong?" Is this uncomfortable? ”

Yun Sheng had a miserable white face and shook her head vigorously, but in the end, the world was spinning, she handed the boots in her hand to Zhang Tong, and then a large darkness covered her head, and Sheng Sheng covered her and fainted.

Zhang Tong was frightened, he didn't dare to stay in the Chen family for a moment, hurriedly said goodbye to Hou Laoliu, and rushed to Baishitang with Yunsheng in his arms. If something happens to Yun Sheng, he will not be able to cut off eighteen heads, what kind of face will he use to meet the eldest grandson Prime Minister who has a spirit in the sky?! Not to mention that Li Hongzhi, who was sitting in the capital, would not let him go, even Zhang Jiusheng would kill him first.

When he rushed into Baishitang, Zhang Qiye happened to be taking the pulse of a patient.

"Young Master, help! Help me! Zhang Tong shouted, he has lived for decades, and he has never been so out of shape.
