Early the next morning, Lin Boqin took people to Niuzikou to check the coachmen who came and went, looking for clues. The task of bidding farewell to Mrs. Lin fell on Chu Hui.

Before leaving, Mrs. Lin held Chu Hui's hand with a complicated expression: "Siniang, I know that you have not lived in the same house since you got married. In fact, this kid is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, if you talk to him more on weekdays, many estrangements can be resolved...... As a woman, you must always have a son and a half daughter by your side, if nothing else, you also have to think about yourself. ”

Chu Cheng was noncommittal, and said with a perfunctory smile: "Mother's words, Siniang understands." ”

Old Lady Lin sighed, and told Chu Cheng to take care of herself, and then stepped into the carriage and left.

When Chu Cheng returned home, she happened to meet Wen Lanxin coming to her.

Wen Lanxin carried a basket of delicate snacks and asked with a smile, "Siniang, do you have time to go to the yamen with me?" ”

Chu Cheng was stunned: "What are you going to do in the Yamen?" ”

Wen Lanxin pointed to the dim sum and said, "There was a murder in Honghu, I heard my aunt say that my cousin has been busy for the past two days. I slept directly in the yamen last night, and I don't know if I've eaten at this time. Anyway, I had nothing to do, so I made some osmanthus cakes and brought them to him. At this point, she asked, "Presumably Lord Lin is also busy, right?" Siniang doesn't go to take a look? ”

Chu Cheng thought to herself, it's too late to hide, and you still have to go to see it?

But looking at Wen Lanxin's big bright eyes, she couldn't say anything. But it's not good to go empty-handed, thinking about it again and again, Chu Cheng said: "Then you wait for me, I'll ...... I went to the kitchen to decorate and eat. ”

Wen Lan nodded hurriedly and replied.

Chu Cheng moved to the kitchen slightly reluctantly, looking at the unfamiliar pots and pans a little at a loss.

She can dance knives and guns, write and draw, but she doesn't know anything about female celebrity cooking.

I wanted to find some food in the kitchen to bring over, but the kitchen of the Lin family was very clean, and I couldn't find any leftovers when I was not eating. Helpless, Chu Cheng had no choice but to boil the pot of boiling water, add some white sugar radish, boil it into a bowl of sticky sweet soup, put it in the food box, and go over with Wen Lanxin.

Walking on the road, Chu Cheng thought, probably Lin Boqin would run away when he saw this bowl of things......

"Eh, it's the funeral of the Du family in Yuxuan Building!"

Wen Lanxin suddenly pointed to the street in front of her.

Chu Ji looked in the direction of her finger, but saw the Du couple walking in front, wearing white linen, and their eyes were red from crying. And the funeral procession's gongs and drums are playing suona, and the funeral music is intermittent, sounding as if someone is whimpering.

"Before the first seven have passed, the Du family is in a hurry to go out of the funeral and bury?"

Wen Lan frowned when she heard this: "I don't know, maybe it's because it's hot now, and it's not good to be mortuary for too long." ”

Chu Cheng planned to arrive at the yamen later, and asked Lin Boqin by the way. Her gaze fell on the person who was beating the white flag, and she was suddenly stunned.

"The one who made the white flags for the funeral...... Is it an adult or a child? ”

is obviously less than three years old, but his face is extraordinarily vicissitudes, and he looks at least forty years old.

Wen Lanxin glanced at it and explained: "That person is a white man who specializes in white things in Qingyuan County, and he is a dwarf by nature, and many families look for him to do white things." ”

Chu Cheng let out an "oh".

While speaking, the funeral team of the Du family passed by the two of them, and the coffin lid was not lowered, and the corpse covered with a white cloth could still be seen. Just as a summer breeze blew, blowing up the corner of the white cloth, revealing the delicate satin beaded shoes.

Chu Cheng couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and buried her head and said, "Let's go." ”

The two chatted and came to the county office, and the officials guarding the door recognized it, and said busily: "Lord Lin and Fang County Cheng are discussing in the three halls, and Mrs. can go over directly." ”

As soon as Chu Cheng and Wen Lanxin walked outside the door of the third hall, they heard Fang Shuangping's voice coming from inside: "...... My lord, if this matter is known to Mrs. Ling, I'm afraid it won't be good, so let's throw it away. ”

Chu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously paused.

Wen Lanxin heard this, and did not go any further.

I only heard Lin Boqin in the house say in a deep voice: "Next time Ye Fangxuan comes over, let the official ......"

Chu Cheng felt funny when she heard the word "Ye Fangxuan", and pushed the door directly in, startling Lin Boqin and Fang Shuangping in the house.

But I saw a lacquer-carved food box on the table piled with official documents, which contained two plates of delicate side dishes and a bowl of green stem rice.

Yo, dare to love that cousin is still "a thief is not dead", and hooked up with Lin Boqin.

Although Chu Cheng is an imposter lady, she is always very disdainful when she sees this behavior. Fortunately, Li Siniang put a green hat on Lin Boqin, otherwise she would have been a little upset.

Fang Shuangping saw that Chu Cheng was also carrying a food box, and couldn't help but be embarrassed and said, "Madame is also here to bring food to adults......

"What do you mean by 'also'? Which confidante of Master Lin has been here again? ”

Chu Cheng approached the house and put the food box in front of Lin Boqin.

Lin Boqin couldn't help frowning when he heard her words: "Don't talk nonsense, Ye Fangxuan came just now, I didn't know before, otherwise I would have let the officials stop her." Wen Lanxin, who was on the side, handed the osmanthus cake to Fang Shuangping and said, "Lord Lin, Siniang cares about you very much." I heard that you haven't eaten yet, so I made a sweet soup for you. ”

"Sweet soup? Adults never eat sweets......" Fang Shuangping swallowed half of his words.

Chu Cheng was happy when she heard this.

Don't eat sweet, do you? Today, she had to eat two bites of Lin Boqin.

Chu Cheng had bad intentions, deliberately opened the lid of the food box, took out a spoon and stirred it in the unpretentious radish sweet soup: "Since my husband said this, then naturally I can't misunderstand you, but if you eat what Ye Fangxuan made with her own hands, and don't eat what I made, I feel very sad......" She bit her lip, her eyes were pitiful, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Chu Cheng is a beauty, not to mention that this beauty is so pitiful.

Lin Boqin knew that Chu Cheng was making things bad, but he couldn't say a word of refusal.

It took a while to hold back a few words: "I didn't eat Ye Fangxuan's dishes......"

Chu Cheng couldn't help but laugh, and said softly: "Then do adults eat what I made?" After speaking, she scooped a spoonful of sweet soup and sent it to Lin Boqin's thin lips.

Lin Boqin couldn't avoid it, so he had no choice but to eat it with her hand.

…… The taste is hard to describe.

Lin Boqin's sword eyebrows tightened, and he thought: Sure enough, sweetness is the most unpalatable taste.

Fang Shuangping had never seen his family so stiff, and he almost laughed back to his heart. Wen Lanxin was ignorant, and said in a low voice to the other party: "Lord Lin and Mrs. Lin are really affectionate, and they raise their eyebrows." ”

Chu Cheng still wanted to feed him, but Lin Boqin came back to his senses.

He resistantly grabbed Chu Hui's wrist and said, "I've eaten well." ”

Chu Cheng reached the goal and temporarily withdrew and let him go.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside the house, but it was Yang La who came in to report the situation.

"My lord, no suspicious characters were found in Niuzikou, and the coachmen who came and went were interrogated, but no one pulled a woman back to the county seat in Honghu."

Lin Boqin frowned when he heard this.

He said: "Go to the detention center and ask Song Zhihe." ”

Chu Cheng has been here for so long, and she hasn't seen the interrogator yet, so she hurriedly said, "I'll go with you." ”

"The torture chamber is dark and smells bad, what did you do in the past? Stay here and don't wander around. ”

Chu Ji was beaten to death, playing coquettish, Lin Boqin couldn't be entangled, so she had to let her follow.

Song Zhihe has not been convicted at present, so he has been temporarily detained in a detention center. Therefore, when Chu Cheng saw this person, he was not wearing shackles and shackles, and was still sitting at a clean table drinking water.

Dressed in a green shirt, his hair is messy, but it is difficult to hide the scholarly atmosphere.

When Song Zhihe saw Lin Boqin, he immediately rushed over and asked, "My lord!" My lord! Can you catch the murderer of Jiaojiao? ”

Lin Boqin's eyes sank: "Not yet." ”

Song Zhihe's eyes immediately dimmed, and he murmured, "Jiaojiao...... Petite ......"

Lin Boqin said again: "From yesterday to today, the coachmen who come and go in Niuzikou have been interrogated, and no one has taken Du Jiaojiao back to the county seat, what do you have to say about this." ”

Song Zhihe shook his head with red eyes: "My lord, I have nothing to say, after all, I was careless, and I didn't see the coachman's appearance clearly...... But I swear with my life that I didn't murder Jiaojiao! I met her and made a private decision for life, and we both believed that the other would be a couple for the rest of my life, and even if her parents stopped me, they couldn't stop my determination to marry her. For her, I tried my best to make a name for myself, and I studied hard in the cold window, all for her! ”

When a big man cried like this, Chu Cheng couldn't help but feel pity.

She turned her head and said, "Didn't you say that the flower thief who committed the murder in Fengshui County should be a strong man?" ”

Lin Boqin was silent for a moment, and said: "I have asked Hu Yu to take the corpse to Fengshui County for comparison, although the death of the deceased in these two murders is roughly similar, but there is no comparison one by one, and I can never rest assured." Speaking of this, Lin Boqin glanced at Song Zhihe, "You can't leave here until you find out other clues." ”

"I—I understand." Song Zhihe wiped his tears, suddenly raised his head and asked, "Jiaojiao's body, is it still in the Du family?" ”

Lin Boqin said: "The Du family came to do the funeral this morning, and they have been buried in the city at this time. ”

Song Zhihe nodded: "That's good, on such a hot day, if the spirit is stopped for seven days, I'm afraid that the delicate soul will not be rested." ”

After he finished speaking, he buried his head in his hand, and a tear "snapped" and slipped down the palm of his hand.

Chu Cheng saw that Song Zhihe was young and gave birth to a white hair, presumably because of Du Jiaojiao's death. She felt something in her heart, and couldn't help murmuring: "Guan Shan's soul dreams are long, and the sound of fish and geese is less. The temples are pitiful and green, just for the lovesickness. ”

Lin Boqin stood very close to her, and when he heard this, he was stunned and couldn't help but look down at her.

At this moment, Fang Shuangping outside hurriedly ran over and said loudly: "My lord! The big thing is not good, I just received the news that there was another female corpse murder case in Qin'an County! ”

Chu Cheng and Lin Boqin glanced at each other in disbelief and hurriedly walked over.

"What's going on?" Lin Boqin immediately took the Qin'an County document in Fang Shuangping's hand and browsed it quickly.

The group walked to Santang, and Fang Shuangping said: "What happened last night, the deceased is the head card of the Drunken Red Courtyard in Qin'an County, Leng Qiuyue. According to the old bustard of the drunken red courtyard, Leng Qiuyue went out with the guests that night and did not return the next day, and the guests who were looking for joy were knocked unconscious in the woods, next to Leng Qiuyue's naked corpse, the cause of death was a strangulation wound on the neck, which was the same as the female corpse in Fengshui County and Honghu murder! ”

Chu Shen frowned and said: "It seems that these three cases were all committed by flower thieves, and if this flower thief is not eliminated for a day, don't think about living in peace in Wangzhou." ”

Lin Boqin walked for a moment, his face was serious: "He left Wangzhou, and he will go somewhere else." Fang Xiancheng, I then asked for a letter to Governor Chen, you must send someone to send it quickly. ”

Fang Shuangping nodded in response.
