The seven bodies were re-buried, and the people went out of the bay.

It's just that when I came, I talked and laughed, and on the way back, I was all stunned, and I was worried about it.

Chu Cheng, Yang La, and Hu Yu were because they didn't have enough to eat, and Su Yu, Li Zhongyi, and Lin Boqin were considering the murder of Zhu Chengye's family of six.

Li Zhongyi said with emotion: "I don't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, but yesterday a sudden rainstorm trapped us here, and the thunder from the sky split the coffin of my father-in-law. ”

When Chu Cheng heard this, she looked around, only to feel that the sky was dark again, and she felt a little chilled.

Lin Boqin paused and asked Li Zhongyi: "Who does the Zhu family have a grudge with, you don't know anything about it?" ”

Li Zhongyi spread his hands and stomped his feet: "I don't come to Shiliwan often, except for my father-in-law's family, I don't know anyone at all." And Xiujun is introverted and never tells me about her family affairs. He seemed a little bitter when he said this, "Xiujun she...... rarely confide in me, otherwise my wife and aunt won't hide it from me. ”

Chu Cheng subconsciously asked, "Then who does your wife have the best relationship with?" She doesn't tell you, maybe she tells someone else. ”

Her unintentional words made Li Zhongyi and Lin Boqin stunned.

The two turned their heads, looked at her, and said in unison, "Su Mei." ”

Zhu Chengye's family of six was poisoned, and Lin Boqin was determined to find the real culprit. He postponed the matter of persuading Nongsang for the time being, and went straight to Qinghe County.

The horses kept going all the way, and Chu Cheng was about to be shaken and vomited in the carriage.

She took two sips of water, and seeing that Lin Boqin was still as steady as Mount Tai, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Aren't you uncomfortable?" ”

Lin Boqin glanced at her and said lightly: "I'm thinking about the case of Zhu Chengye's family." ”

Chu Cheng put down the water bladder and looked at Li Zhongyi's carriage, which was still some distance away from them, and then whispered, "Actually, I doubt it...... Could it be that Li Zhongyi killed him? ”

Lin Boqin tilted his ears, as if he wanted to hear her analysis: "How to speak? ”

"I don't know."

“……”

Lin Boqin was speechless for a while, and vetoed: "It won't be Li Zhongyi." ”

Chu Cheng asked, "Why?" Don't you think that anyone can be a murderer until the truth is known? ”

Lin Boqin reluctantly explained to her: "I don't remember Ke Zhixi said that because Li Zhongyi suddenly fell seriously ill and had difficulty getting out of bed, he entrusted him to send the spirit to Shiliwan." Li Zhongyi did not appear at the scene of the crime, and it will definitely not be him. ”

"Maybe he came with him quietly."

"How do you come quietly? There is movement on horseback and car, and paperwork is required to go out of the city. You also saw that there is only one road to enter Shili Bay, and there are at most two carriages parked at the mouth of the bay, and Zhu Chengye's family died on the night of the stoppage, Li Zhongyi could not have arrived at the same time as Ke Zhixi unless he rode a horse. But if he really rode a horse, how could Ke Zhixi not find him. ”

"If he digs a tunnel, he won't be able to avoid everyone's eyes and ears."

Lin Boqin glared at her: "Nonsense." ”

"In case Ke Zhixi lies."

"It's possible."

Lin Boqin bowed slightly: "But what is the truth, I still have to ask Su Mei first." Maybe Zhu once told Su Mei that she had a deep feud in her family. ”

Chu Cheng also echoed: "Yes, if you can brutally kill all six members of the family, this hatred must be very deep." ”

Because they were in a hurry, the group stayed in the carriage that night.

passed by the black shop where the second sister of Chun was, but found that the inn had been burned to the ground, although the fire had been extinguished, but the scorching heat could be felt from afar.

Lin Boqin got out of the car to investigate, frowned and said, "Who burned this place?" ”

Chu Cheng answered: "Maybe it's Second Sister Chun, maybe it's Xiao Xu, who knows." It would be better if such a place should be burned, lest another wave of robbers harbour the travelers passing by. ”

Lin Boqin thought that what Chu Cheng said made sense, so he didn't stay too long, and hurried to Qingyuan County before dusk.

At that time, Gu Jingtong was leaning outside the Yimen, talking nonsense with the two officials.

Seeing Lin Boqin and Chu Cheng walking down from the carriage, their jaws couldn't close in shock. He shook his fan and walked briskly, with a look of surprise: "So quickly, he has finished inspecting all the villages and towns?" You're amazing, aren't you? But the time is too short, and the government will not believe it when I report it, so I will walk around again and come back in a few days. ”

As he spoke, he pushed Lin Boqin into the carriage.

Lin Boqin couldn't cry or laugh, and held his wrist: "Sheng Feng, I didn't go to persuade Nongsang." ”

"What?"

Gu Jingtong subconsciously glanced at Chu Cheng, thinking that it was a moth she made.

Chu Cheng sensed his thoughts and raised her fist at him.

Lin Boqin took Gu Jingtong to the county office, and told him about the serial events of the past few days as he walked, first in distress in the black shop, and then found an old case in Shiliwan, Gu Jingtong plucked out his ears and was shocked.

"You now go and find out the file of the thirteenth year of Jianwu."

Gu Jingtong took the key, and asked with some hesitation: "This case has been ten years, you ......" He thought of Lin Boqin's temperament, sighed, and didn't say the rest of the words.

There are only a few words in the record of the case of Zhu Chengye's family of six: on the sixth day of the winter month of the thirteenth year of Jianwu, six members of Zhu Chengye's family died in Shiliwan. It was ignited and accidentally caught fire. It's not a homicide.

With just a few words, Lin Boqin couldn't see anything strange at all.

As soon as his mind changed, he immediately ordered Hu Yu Yangla to take Su Mei to the county government for questioning.

Su Yu hasn't had Su Mei for a long time, so she misses it a little, so she wants to go together. Li Zhongyi and Liang Xiuyun naturally had to go over, and Chu Cheng had nothing to do, so she simply followed.

While the group was talking, they turned a few long streets and came to an alley.

Su Yu looked at the familiar house, his eyes were a little hot, he took Chu Cheng's hand and said in a low voice: "Madam, I have lived here for ten years. ”

Chu Ji heard the bitterness in his words, touched his head, and comforted: "You will spend the next countless decades with your mother and uncle." Su Yu laughed out loud: "You lie to me, people live to be ninety years old at most, and I have eight more decades to live at most." ”

"Whoever said that, I knew there were people who lived to be thousands of years old."

Su Yuxin thought it was true: "Who? ”

"Guanyin Bodhisattva."

When everyone heard her two jokes, they all chuckled.

Samui's home is in the alleys and alleys.

A small green lacquer door has been a little mottled, and the door knocker has not been changed all year round, and it has been touched a little shiny and shiny. On both sides of the door, there is a Spring Festival couplet, which is broken and faded by the wind, and it is vaguely recognizable that it is "spring is coming to the earth with a hundred flowers, and the festival is new to the world".

Chu Cheng swept her eyes and estimated that the horizontal criticism was "all the best".

Su Yu stepped forward and knocked on the knocker: "Aunt Mei." ”

That's what he called Su Mei since the last time.

The room was silent, and no one answered.

Li Zhongyi asked: "Could it be that you are not at home?" ”

Su Yu looked up at the drowsy evening sky, shook his head, and said with great certainty: "Aunt Mei is definitely at home at this time, she won't go out so late." Hu Yu interjected: "Could it be that you have already slept?" ”

"Possibly." Su Yu knew that Su Mei was not in good health and occasionally slept early.

He rolled his eyes and said, "I know there's a place to go in, come with me." Then he went next door and knocked on his neighbor's door.

After a while, the sound of footsteps came from afar, and a round-faced woman of forty-seven or eighteen opened the door.

When she saw Su Yu at a glance, she showed a surprised smile: "It's Yu'er, why are you here?" ”

"Auntie, I'...... Is my Aunt May at home? ”

Su Yu almost became a mother again, and he subconsciously glanced at Liang Xiuyun beside him. Fortunately, Liang Xiuyun's brain was not bright, her expression was stupid, and she did not react.

The aunt pointed to her head and replied, "Yes, she had a headache yesterday and hasn't been out since she came back from buying medicine." After speaking, she looked at the late sky, "I guess it's because I'm not in good health and went to bed early, so let's go in from me." She leaned slightly to reveal an iron door in the walls of the two houses.

Su Yu thanked him and motioned for everyone to go inside.

Taking advantage of the aunt's unlocking, Su Yu explained: "Originally, the yard where Aunt Mei and I lived was also my aunt's house, and later they sold it to us, but the wall of the two families has not been sealed, but only a door. Chu Cheng bowed: "It seems that you two families often move around, and the neighborhood relationship is very good." ”

The iron gate opened, and everyone approached the courtyard of Su Mei's house.

The flowers and plants in the yard are neatly trimmed, and there is a spinning wheel under the eaves, Su Yu pointed to the spinning wheel and said, "Aunt Mei usually makes silk flowers and embroiders clothes there." ”

There was no door in the kitchen of Su Mei's house, and at a glance, I could see that there was a medicine pot on the stove, which was boiling over a low fire, and the smoke was very thick and smelled of mush.

Yang La walked over and opened it with his hand, but saw that the water in the medicine jar had been boiled dry, and the medicinal herbs were dry and sticking to the jar, all of which had turned charred black.

Hu Yu frowned and said, "How long does this have to last?" Su Mei was also too careless. ”

Seeing this, Su Yu hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Aunt Mei!" Aunt May! You're drugged! ”

No one answered.

Su Yu pulled the door and didn't open it. He put his hands to his lips again and shouted even louder: "Aunt Mei! Hu Zhutou Yang Zhutou wants to take you to the county office, and Lord Lin has something to ask you! ”

After shouting for a long time, there was no movement in the house.

Chu Cheng keenly felt that something was wrong, Su Yu was about to shout, she grabbed his hand and shook her head.

Then he turned his head to Yang La and Hu Yu, and the two of them understood, borrowed a thick wooden stool from Su Yu's aunt's house, rushed over quickly, and slammed the door open with a loud "bang".

There were no windows in the house, and it looked very dim.

Li Zhongyi touched the edge of the table and lit the candle, but saw Su Mei lying on the bed with her head down.

He stepped forward, a little stunned, and raised his hand to push: "Su Mei, what's the matter with you, so many people have called you outside for a long time, and you are still sleeping......" Su Mei's body was like a broken sack, pushed by Li Zhongyi, turned over, under the swaying of the candlelight, a face was black and blue, his eyes were wide open, and the bleeding was extremely terrifying.

"Oh my God—"

Li Zhongyi, a big man, was so frightened that he sat on the ground, retreated again and again, and threw the candle on the ground unsteadily.

Yang La and the others hurriedly rushed forward to help him up, shocked and surprised.

She picked up the candle that Li Zhongyi had dropped, looked close to Su Mei's face, and said in a daze, "She died of poisoning." ”
