Cui Jiu handed the melon to Mo Zhu and asked him to calm it in an ice basin, and then brought a bowl of soft and glutinous white fungus lotus seed lily soup and handed it to He Zhichun.

"Fifteen, you go on."

"Fang Niang and Gongsun Ying are young ladies from serious families, and it is unlikely that they will be familiar with strange men. Only a woman can make the four little ladies with different identities and statuses relax their vigilance. ”

Especially Gongsun Ying, she will never go to the temple alone to pray for blessings, Henan Mansion is not Yuezhou, Luoyang is the second capital of Daqing, even if it is a small Ming Mansion, it is a person with a great background.

Even if Gongsun Ying is not from a famous family, she is also a well-educated little lady.

Wang Wenlin frowned, "Then what kind of woman can do it, from Henan Mansion to Chang'an City, she can come and go freely without making people suspicious?" ”

All of a sudden, the people in the room stopped talking.

He Zhichun took a sip of white fungus lotus seed soup, which was not very sweet, and it happened that she had been hit crazy recently, and she really didn't want to gain weight anymore.

"There are three kinds of people, one is a female master, the second is a matchmaker, and the third is the female shopkeeper and female master in the embroidery building."

Cui Jiu looked at He Zhichun dotingly and smiled, "Fifteen is so smart!" ”

When He Zhichun heard this, he grinned and laughed silly.

Wang Wenlin and Zhang Qizuo only felt that they were blinded by their dog's eyes, and they couldn't even gnaw on the Hu biscuits.

"On the day of the student's birthday, he should rest, and the master knows it; The little lady said that she wanted to say the date of birth, and the matchmaker knew it; On his birthday, the elders of the family want to give congratulatory gifts, and the shopkeeper knows it. Cui Jiu continued He Zhichun's words.

"Now start to deny. The first type of female master, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, how many female students do you have to teach to find four of them who are born on the Dragon Boat Festival? Unlikely. And Fang Niang is a commoner, and she can't afford to hire a female master. ”

Cui Jiu said, picked up the pen and wrote down these three kinds of people, and then crossed out the first female master.

"The second type of matchmaker, the red sleeves and the little yellow warbler are flower girls, and it is when the red color is good, the bustard will not let them get married, and it is unlikely that they will deal with the matchmaker."

He Zhichun added, stepped forward and crossed out the second matchmaker.

Cui Jiu nodded, and added another kind of person: nuns and Taoist aunts.

Because Gongsun Ying disappeared in the temple and was a devout Buddha, Cui Jiu crossed out Daogu and became a monk.

In these years, who is not a fate, and it is good luck and evil, so it is easy for outsiders to know the birth date of others.

"If it's a monk, then it doesn't have to be a woman. All four of them may believe in the same master and be defenseless against him. ”

Wang Wenlin slapped his thigh, "I went to Pingkangfang and asked the bustards what suspicious characters they were around." Cui Yushi took Li Shifu to the prison of the Criminal Department to ask Qian Jia. Fifteen be careful, nine days later, the murderer will commit the crime again, and the target is likely to be you. It's because we catch the murderer before we do that. ”

He Zhichun nodded, Wang Wenlin didn't say, she must also catch this murderer, how many people she has killed.

The three of them quickly ate the morning food and went their separate ways.

When the people from the Criminal Department saw Cui Jiu, they immediately escorted Qian Jia out.

Qian Jia's face was swollen like a pig's head, his appearance was difficult to distinguish, and his clothes were tattered, and he was severely punished at first sight.

"It was fought in Jingzhao Mansion, but it has nothing to do with our Criminal Department." Seeing Cui Jiu frowning, the jailer hurriedly cleared his way.

"Qian Jia, if you ask you, you have to answer truthfully. Your wife, Fang Niang, is a trusted Buddha? Is there any familiar master in the embroidery building and silver building? ”

Qian Jia moved his mouth, his eyes were cloudy, "Didn't you admit that I killed you?" What else is there to ask. ”

Cui Jiu glanced at Qian Jia, and Qian Jia was trembling, and he was scared to pee.

The jailer of the Criminal Department covered his nose, "Niang Xipi, this dirty thing, it's really unlucky." ”

Cui Jiu shrank back, almost disgusted and wanted to vomit, pinching his nose and unable to speak.

He Zhichun knew that his Aijie's problem had flareed up again, so he pushed him back and forth, "Let's ask." ”

"Qian Jia, if you want to wash away the grievances on your body, you can answer the question well."

When Qian Jia heard this, he raised his head suddenly, trembling and trying to grab He Zhichun's hand, "You believe that I didn't kill that mother-in-law, right?" I'm afraid of killing chickens, how can I kill people! But they said, "If I don't confess my sin, they will beat me to death, and I'm afraid of the pain." ”

He Zhichun was a little speechless, and put his hand behind his back, "Answer well, otherwise, you won't be able to catch the real murderer...... You're going to kill for your life. ”

Qian Jia thought excitedly, "My family lives in Guiyifang, and she has to go to the Da Zhuangyan Temple in Yongyangfang near her home every five and ten every month to pray for blessings. That's right, on the tenth day of the new year, she still went to the incense before returning to her parents' house. ”

"As for the female master who is acquainted. There should be no silver building, we are all ordinary people, her jewelry is small, and she is still her mother's dowry. In the case of the embroidery building, she often embroidered purses and sold them to the embroidery building, as for which one, I don't know. You have to ask my aunt, or her sister-in-law. ”

He Zhichun nodded, thought for a while, and asked again: "Have you ever noticed anything abnormal about Fang Niang's right hand?" ”

Qian Jia shook his head, "What's the anomaly?" ”

"For example, she likes to apply dancôme on her right hand? For example, what is the special birthmark on the top? Or is it that the right hand is obviously better than the left hand, or is it ugly or something? It's where it's easy to notice her right hand. ”

Qian Jia held his head and thought desperately.

It took a long time before he began to mumble to himself.

"Fang Niang often has to burn the fire slurry to wash, her nails are neatly trimmed, and she never paints them!"

"Birthmark, birthmark." Qian Jia shook his head, "There is no birthmark, and it is not born different from the left hand." ”

He Zhichun was a little disappointed, she also thought like this, why did the murderer cut off Fang Niang's right hand, and not somewhere else?

This murderer does things with a very sense of ritual, birthday, red dress......

So she always felt that there was something in it that they hadn't discovered.

"Let's go, fifteen, go to their house and ask, and go to the Great Solemn Temple by the way." Cui Jiu covered his mouth and whispered.

He Zhichun nodded, Qian Jia looked like this, he shouldn't be able to ask anything.

The two spoke, turned and left.

"Wait, wait, I remembered, there was a strange thing, there was a vague smell of her right hand for a few days."

"During the meal, my mother also said that she had spilled rouge into the rice. The two also quarreled at that time, and Fang Niang scolded me for being poor, saying that there was no spare money at home, and she could afford rouge there. ”

"Fang Niang sniffed her hand hard, and showed it to my mother, there was a snake-like ...... on it"

"Snakes! Snakes, you say? He Zhichun slapped the table and said excitedly: "Is it an aconitum snake?" ”
