Yun Sheng and Zhang Tong were discussing with each other in the autopsy room, Guan Chu stood aside and watched, and when he was tired of watching, he casually took a chair from the side and came over to sit and watch, and at that time Zhang Jiusheng was already asleep in the back room.

It's getting late.

I don't know if it's because of the medicine, Yun Sheng is not sleepy at all, but very excited, and even Zhang Tong couldn't help yawning in the end.

The upper and lower eyelids fought, and when he looked back at Guan Chu, he had already dreamed by leaning on the back of the chair.

"No, I have to lie down for a while, I'm too old to stay up." Zhang Tong finally waved his hand and surrendered.

"Then you go, I'm here." Yun Sheng glanced at him and took the pen in his hand.

The day Lu Zhi disappeared was the day Yun Sheng woke up from a coma.

According to the clues provided by the inn Xiaoer, Lu Zhi went out in the morning, with something bulging in his arms, but when Guan Chu and the others found the body, Lu Zhi had nothing on his body except the clothes he was wearing.

According to the corpse spots on his body and the stiffness of the corpse, it is enough to prove that Lu Zhi died after going out that day, perhaps he was killed after meeting with the person he wanted to meet, or maybe he was killed when he came back after the meeting.

The cause of Lu Zhi's death was different from the previous deaths, he was stoned to death, and the murder weapon was thrown into the grass by the murderer.

Yun Sheng frowned and checked Lu Zhi's whole body, there were no other wounds on his body, there were some small scratches on his arms, she couldn't tell what caused it, and when it was dawn, she had to go to the scene to take a look.

When he turned around, Guan Chu was already unconscious, and Zhang Tong and Zhang Jiusheng were lying in the back room, Zhang Tong naturally didn't dare to sleep in the same bed with Zhang Jiusheng, so he took a blanket and slept on the couch a little outside.

She was the only one awake.

Glancing out the door, it was slowly dawning, but she was inexplicably sleepy.

She thought about it and went to the kitchen.

Because Zhang Tong didn't go home, Zhang Jiusheng simply set up a courtyard for him in the yamen, and let Zhang Tong live there, with all the kitchen and toilets, but there was no one to do.

In the past, Yunsheng was thinking about whether to match Zhang Tong with a subordinate, but Zhang Tong refused, saying that he was very comfortable living alone, but suddenly multiple people came out, and he was not adaptable, not to mention that he was just a fool and couldn't treat himself as a master.

After that, Yun Sheng didn't mention it.

In the kitchen, it was all the dishes that Zhang Tong bought by himself, but they were complete, Yun Sheng pondered that he didn't need to eat too greasy in the morning anyway, just make a rice porridge, and the whole two side dishes could be eaten.

Although she used to be in the Prime Minister's Mansion, no one asked her to do these jobs, but Yun Sheng was not a person who sat and waited for death, at that time, in order to get her father and brother to agree to let her investigate the case, she didn't have to worry a lot, let alone cooking, and she did a lot of dirty work, and she didn't have the slightest taste of squeamish and willful eldest lady.

Zhang Tong's kitchen is not too far from the autopsy room, which is a good thing, at least Yun Sheng doesn't have to work so hard when he brings those dishes and chopsticks back and forth.

Xu was busy and tired a few days ago, and when Yun Sheng was ready to use breakfast, the three big men hadn't woken up yet, and they were snoring loudly.

Yun Sheng stood at the door, sighed, held a bowl of porridge by himself, sandwiched a little side dish, and sat at the door and ate slowly. She didn't expect that Zhang Jiusheng was the first to wake up, with sleepy eyes, standing behind her, like a big fool.

"Awake? The rice porridge is hot in the kitchen, so serve it yourself. Yun Sheng didn't reply.

Zhang Jiusheng, who was standing in the back, didn't speak, just listened, and then went to the kitchen by himself very obediently, and came back with rice porridge very obediently, without saying a word the whole time, sitting in front of Yun Sheng and began to bury his head in pulling.

"Still sleepy?" Yun Sheng asked.

Zhang Jiusheng stopped his chopsticks, raised his head, and yawned at Yun Sheng, holding back a few tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Sleepy." He said.

Yun Sheng smiled: "After eating, go back to sleep for a while, it's still early." ”

Zhang Jiusheng half-squinted his eyes, he was so sleepy that he couldn't open them, so he only glared in a daze: "I know Mother." ”

Yun Sheng was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what expression to use for a while.

Before she could say anything, Zhang Jiusheng walked away with the empty bowl, but he was very well-behaved, and he remembered to wash the dishes and chopsticks before going back to the back room to continue sleeping.

"If I had such a son, three beatings a day would not be too much." Yun Sheng muttered.

After the three of them were completely sober, Yun Sheng took Guan Chu to take her to the scene.

The scene is far away, after all, it is on the outskirts of the city, Yun Sheng's body has improved a lot recently, I don't know if the medicine is starting to work, she always feels very energetic, she used to walk a little farther, she was tired and panting, and now she followed Guan Chu all the way to the outskirts of the city, and there was only some fine sweat on her face.

The place where Lu Zhi fell was overwhelmed by a large patch of weeds, the weeds were strong, although it was already autumn, the grass leaves were a lot yellower, but they were still standing half-straight on the rocker, some of them had been broken, and they could be put to the side, and there were dark red blood stains.

The messy traces of the fight were in front of him, and Yun Sheng put on the gloves handed over by Guan Chu, and carefully fiddled through the weeds, hoping to find some useful clues.

"It's not too far or too close to the inn where Lu Zhi lives, but it's remote enough, and the weeds here are more than a person tall, so they can indeed hide him and the people he wants to see." Yun Sheng stood on tiptoe and looked out of the weeds.

Guan Chu nodded: "That's the case, we guess that when Lu Zhi left the inn at that time, he probably felt that he would not be able to go back." Or rather, someone deliberately asked him to tell the government that the Xiao family was destroyed. ”

"Lu Zhi is very smart, such a smart person will definitely leave more information for us, he will not be willing to die like this." Yun Sheng said lightly.

"Yes."

"We have to figure out a little bit now, what did Lu Zhi bring out when he left the inn that day?"

"When I found the corpse, I had already asked my brothers to search within a radius of five miles around Lu Zhi's corpse, and I didn't find any useful information."

"Are there no footprints?" Yun Sheng frowned.

"Yes, you come to me." Guan Chu stood there and pointed to his feet.

Yun Sheng leaned over and saw that there was a footprint at his foot that had begun to blur, Lu Zhi had been dead for too long, and the footprints left at that time had begun to become shallow now, but it simply did not rain in the past two days, leaving them a little room to find.

"There is a row of footprints here, we have done a basic comparison, it is Lu Zhi's, the footprints are only those who come in, not those who go out, Lu Zhi died here, so he didn't go out, so what about the murderer's footprints? Why isn't it here? Did he have wings? Guan Chu touched the back of his head.

Yun Sheng looked up at the sky, looked around again, and searched in the grass for two or three hours, but they found nothing except the row of footprints that had entered and exited.

A dozen paces outside the grass was a stream, which was just below the knee of an adult, and there were no people living on the banks of the river.

"Isolated enough." Yun Sheng muttered.

Zhang Jiusheng came at some point, stood behind her, and suddenly said: "It's an excellent place to kill people and throw corpses." ”

"Why are you here?" Yun Sheng was a little surprised.

"It's also a county order, and if there is a murder in the place under the jurisdiction of Lord Ben, Lord Ben has to come and take a look." Zhang Jiusheng said official words and yawned, obviously not sleeping well.

Yun Sheng rolled his eyes.

Seeing that Yun Sheng ignored him, Zhang Jiusheng asked, "What did you find?" ”

"Lu Zhi died here, there are footprints here that go in and out, how did another person appear here?" Yun Sheng looked at the river, not knowing whether he was asking himself or Zhang Jiusheng.

Zhang Jiusheng glanced back at the direction of the scene, he came from the scene, and he also got this important question from Guan Chu's mouth, and said: "Don't think about this matter too complicated, if a person wants to get rid of his suspicion, he will do everything he can." ”

"Do whatever you can, my lord, have you found anything?"

Zhang Jiusheng thought for a while and said, "The scene was very messy, indicating that the two people had scuffled or pushed. But did you see the footprints that went into the grass? There is only Lu Zhi's, which means that before Lu Zhi went in, the murderer was already inside, Lu Zhi invited or he asked the murderer to come out to talk about things, because he didn't talk about it, so Lu Zhi died, or he was killed by mistake, because the murder weapon is a stone that can be seen everywhere. ”

Yun Sheng nodded, she knew what Zhang Jiusheng said, and she even deduced the process in her mind.

Suddenly, Yun Sheng turned around and walked into the grass, looked around inside, and said, "There are a lot of stones." ”

"yes, do you see the mountain on the other side?" Zhang Jiusheng pointed to a mountain not far away that was neither tall nor low and asked.

Yun Sheng looked over, half of the mountain was bald, revealing a lot of rocks, and some wild trees occasionally grew between the rocks, but they were not so strong tree species, they grew crookedly, and the other half of the mountain grew a lot of straight and tall trees, some of which were almost towering to the sky.

Yun Sheng suddenly understood: "It's a mine. ”

"Yes, it was about six or seven years ago, there was a stone mine in that mountain, and some businessmen who were engaged in the stone mining business came to negotiate with the previous Mu County Commander, and the only requirement was not to affect the lives of the people of Fan County. The merchants only mined for three or four years, and then they gave up the place and went somewhere else, so the mountain was empty. In addition, according to some of the records left for me by the Mu County Order, the route used by those merchants to transport ore was to pass through this area, and the stones here should be from that mine. ”

Because of the long time, some of the stones were embedded in the soil by the wind and sun, and some were blocked by weeds, so Yun Sheng didn't pay much attention to it at first, but now that he thinks about it, there is a loophole.

"I probably know how the murderer got in and how he got out?" Yun Sheng bent down, his fingers lightly touched a piece of ore embedded in the soil for almost half of his body, and said slowly.
