At night, Gu Yuchen looked at the dossier, and wondered in his heart, the four people who died had no connection at all, a child, Lin An'an, was only six years old, and when he was found after his death, his body was also swollen, and he was noisy on weekdays, bullying other children, and he was an only child.

Li Dalin, about 30 years old, has not yet married, the neighbor said that after going to the field to farm, he did not come back, and appeared by the lake the next day, because of his short temper, so no girl was willing to marry him.

Wang Mei, about 50 years old, husband and son, old and young, was a tofu seller before her death, she was stingy on weekdays, and was found by the willow tree.

And the one who died the day before yesterday was just a watchman, named Hu Shengquan, an honest man, just a night watch.

Looking at the files of the dead people, Gu Yuchen frowned, if you say it like this, the first child loves to be noisy, the second is short-tempered, the third is slamming the door, and the fourth is beating the watch, these people seem, the only and biggest common denominator is that they are loud.

Could it be that as the county order said, there is really such a strange killer who specializes in killing people who are loud on weekdays?

No, no, no, it's impossible, no matter how indifferent the killer is, he will only kill me, or the order of the gold master, so it may not be a killer, but a murderer.

Feng Ran picked it up and looked at it, focusing on the same as Gu Yuchen's, "Alas, Yuchen, you say, how can there be such a strange murderer?" ”

"I don't know, it's just that this murderer kills people, except that the personality is the same to some extent, and the other things in common, no."

Gu Yuchen looked at Feng Ran, with some expectations, the woman's mind is more meticulous than that of the man.

"How did these four people die? The dossier says drowned, and if it did, someone would definitely find out, so ......"

Gu Yuchen stood up and walked around the room, "Wu Yin said that these four people were indeed drowned, and there were no other traces on their bodies. ”

Feng Ran bit her lip, and the corpse she saw in the morning flashed in her mind over and over again, without any scars, but there was always an indescribable weirdness that made people panic.

"Gu Yuchen, the person who beat the watch, you said, is it buried?"

"Seven days, the custom here is that the dead are buried in three days, but those who die unnaturally can only be buried in seven days."

Feng Ran raised his eyebrows, "You set it?" ”

Gu Yuchen nodded, "At the beginning, He Jun's family died tragically, and I begged my father to give him seven days to investigate the murderer, and later, I gave an order, and after I succeeded to the throne, I put this rule into the regulations of the dynasty." You mean......"

Feng Ran hooked the corners of her mouth, although the matter she was thinking about was a bit terrifying and immoral, but a few people knew about it, so they shouldn't blame her, "Well, that's right, go and explore the corpse!" ”

Gu Yuchen frowned slightly, "I don't know where the body is, why don't we wait until tomorrow, I asked the county order, are we going?" ”

I don't know the place, it's really not easy to do, Feng Ran nodded, "Okay, the court will be held tomorrow, and the witnesses will be collected in the hall and testimony." ”

Gu Yuchen nodded, walked to the window, looked at the bright moon, and found that the moon had been somewhat obscured by dark clouds.

After Gu Yuchen turned around, he saw that Feng Ran was about to lie down on the bed, spreading his hair, fluttering in an instant, and a casual look made Gu Yuchen change a certain part.

After falling asleep for a long time, the door bolt rang gently, and Gu Yuchen, who was very vigilant, squinted his eyes, covered the quilt with a seal, and closed his eyes again.

"Squeak-squeak-"

With a very small voice, a man in black flashed in, the knife in his hand, clenched in his hand.

The man in black moved over steadily and carefully, and when he saw the two sleeping peacefully on the bed, he suddenly raised the knife in his hand and was about to stab him.

Gu Yuchen suddenly opened his eyes and kicked away the man in black at once, and the man in black didn't expect this Gu Yuchen to be so powerful, so he hurriedly jumped out of the window and ran out.

"Who......"

Feng Ran's eyes were half-squinted, his consciousness was not yet awake, Gu Yuchen, who wanted to chase him, stopped, closed the door, lay down next to Feng Ran, and patted Feng Ran's back, "It's okay, let's sleep." ”

Until Feng Ran fell asleep again, Gu Yuchen darkened his eyes, looked at the window where the man in black escaped, and broke ground on Tai Sui's head, I am afraid that he was impatient.

Following.

Feng Ran got up, but he didn't see Gu Yuchen, and at this time, Hua Zhi opened the door and walked in, "Sister, the son is in the court." ”

After a simple tidying up, Feng Ran and Huazhi walked towards the public hall, passing by those bright flowers, Feng Ran couldn't help but stop for a while.

"My lord, there are no witnesses."

As soon as Feng Ran came, he heard the information reported by Wu Yin, and his heart sank, were there no witnesses?

"Lord Wu, dare to ask where Hu Shengquan, who beat the watch, is now?"

Wu Yin turned around and looked at Feng Ran, "Madam, this deceased has been put into the morgue and is waiting to be buried in five days." ”

Feng Ran nodded and walked towards Gu Yuchen.

"Lord Wu, I just passed by the garden, and I was still attracted by the flowers, I wonder if Lord Wu can take me to pay respects to Madame?" I also express my admiration. ”

Feng Ran, who thought he would agree, was rejected by Wu Yin.

"Madam, my deceased wife is buried in the mountains, and the journey is a little far away, so it's still inconvenient."

Feng Ran was puzzled, but he didn't show what he thought in his heart, "My lord, what's going on, anyway, I'm okay to stay here, I want to go and worship Madame, what's this?" ”

"This ......"

Wu Yin hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Since Madame is sincere, then Xia Guan will take Madame to his deceased wife tomorrow." ”

Feng Ran nodded, revealing a smile, "I'm bothered." ”

"It doesn't matter."

Feng Ran turned his head and looked at Gu Yuchen, "How is it?" What are the clues? ”

Gu Yuchen shook his head, without the slightest clue.

Feng Ran pursed his lips, it seems that he has to go out to see in person, and he doesn't know who the murderer's next target is, and he must not sit still in the county office.

"Auntie, hello, do you know Lin An......?"

"Bang-"

After eating the closed door, Feng Ran was helpless, and turned his head, "Let's go, the next one." ”

"Buckle buckle—"

"Hello, kid, do you know Lin An'an?"

"Recognize ...... Know. ”

Feng Ran's eyes lit up, turned his head, looked at Gu Yuchen, and continued, "Then can you tell me something about him?" ”

In front of Feng Ran's eyes, a seven or eight-year-old child should be a playmate of the same age as Lin Anan.

As soon as the child was about to speak, a woman appeared, covered the child's mouth, looked at Feng Ran and a few people, and smiled, "Tong Yan Wuji, we don't know Lin An'an, you go to another house." ”

With that, the door was closed again.

Feng Ran's confidence was hit, thinking that it was just that some people didn't want to get into trouble, so they had to continue to ask, who knew that all the people who went next would let Feng Ran eat behind closed doors, what he didn't know, and what he didn't want to say, the most strange thing was that he was not directly pretended.

"Ah, Gu Yuchen, what should I do? I don't have a clue at all, these people don't cooperate at all. ”

Gu Yuchen took Feng Ran's hand, and he was also a little embarrassed, it was good that everyone was willing to know a thing or two, but unfortunately, he overestimated the ability of his group.

"Forget it, let's go back and discuss what to do next."

Feng Ran nodded, "That's it." ”

Passing by a store, Feng Ran remembered something and stopped, "Gu Yuchen, you wait for me, I'll go buy something, flower branches, go!" ”

Hua Zhi followed Feng Ran in, watched Feng Ran buy things for the dead, and opened her eyes wide, "Sister, you, what are you doing?" ”

"Isn't this going to worship Wu Yin's wife tomorrow, these things must be missing, you have to be sincere."

Huazhi said "oh", the two walked out, but found that He Jun and Gu Yuchen were gone, Feng Ran was puzzled, the two walked a few steps, and suddenly, a trembling figure in the corner attracted his attention.

Feng Ran walked over, took out a tael of silver on his body, and bent his knees slightly, "Are you okay?" Let's buy a thick dress to wear. ”

In front of him, a man with dirty hair and tattered clothes shrank back in fear.

Feng Ran patiently said again, "You take it." ”

The dark and dirty hand was slowly raised, as if he was afraid that Feng Ran would regret it, and hurriedly snatched the silver and put it on his body to protect it.

Feng Ran chuckled, "It's already cold, go buy warm clothes, and the rest of the money should be able to do a small business." ”

At this time, He Jun and Gu Yuchen, who had left, walked back, "Ranran." ”

Feng Ran turned around and saw the hot buns in the hands of the two of them, and he knew in his heart, "You guys are going to buy buns." ”

Gu Yuchen nodded, frowning slightly when he touched the person on the ground, a little disgusted.

Feng Ran took the bun and put it in the hands of the people on the ground, ignoring the stench on the beggar's body, and even touched the beggar's skin when his hand was putting the bun.

Feng Ran turned around, and saw Gu Yuchen take out a handkerchief and wipe Feng Ran's hands, but he didn't expect that this action caused Feng Ran's dissatisfaction, Feng Ran shook off his hand and looked at Gu Yuchen, "Is this disgusting me?" ”

Gu Yuchen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly grabbed Feng Ran, "How can you dislike it?" ”

Feng Ran looked at Gu Yuchen and shook his head helplessly, "Gu Yuchen, you remember, all the people who have a bad life in this world, except for those who are not motivated, the emperor has a great responsibility." ”

Gu Yuchen understood the meaning of Feng Ran's words, if the emperor rules the world, is truly healthy and rich, how can there be beggars? After all, Feng Ran is still angry that he looks like he is high up and can't fit into ordinary life?

Gu Yuchen's eyes were complicated, and he lowered his head, "I was wrong." ”

Feng Ran, who was clasping his hands, was a little angry, and when he heard some aggrieved voices, his eyes widened in surprise, and he even plucked out his ears exaggeratedly, "What did you say?!" ”
