Jiang Shi calmed down, and explained everything in the end.

She and Lu Hua have only known each other for a year.

"It was Lu Hua who took the initiative to talk to me...... Actually, I didn't know him well at first. Jiang didn't dare to look at the prayer wheel, she twisted her head to the side, "He always comes to me to buy straw paper, and there is nothing to ...... Suddenly, one day, Lu Hua asked me what was going on with my hand. ”

Jiang raised his hand and began to tremble unconsciously.

She was obviously in pain, but it was stylish and tolerable.

"When I was a child, I had paralysis, and when I got better, my hands fell to the root of the disease, and I hurt almost all the time, every day. Especially in winter, when you touch the water, it hurts to the bone, and it will be red, swollen and ulcerated...... I told Lu Hua about this, and he actually said that he could help me heal my hands. Jiang Shi's lips trembled when he said this, "But I need my nephew's help." ”

Xu Yue'e covered her ears and hissed, "To help is to kill him?" Sister-in-law, for so many years, how has my family ever treated you badly, why did you do this? ”

"I just want my hands to get better!" Jiang Shi cried and retorted, "I didn't know I was going to kill him!" I didn't know that I was going to dig out his heart and take his lungs! If I knew...... I will never allow Lu Hua to do this! ”

Jiang Shi thought of his well-behaved nephew, and couldn't help crying, trembling all over: "I like my nephew too, he is the most obedient...... It was because I was so obedient that I was called to the bushes at the base of the wall...... was poisoned by Lu Hua. She wiped away her tears and continued, "I really didn't know that Lu Hua was going to kill him, I thought ...... He asked for a hair from my nephew, or something...... On that day, I asked my nephew to wait for me at the place where the crime occurred, and I told him that I had bought him a delicious sugar gourd and would give it to him later. In fact, Lu Hua was ambushed there early in the morning...... He succeeded and left. ”

Xu Yue'e was almost unsteady on her feet, Xu Changqi supported her, and her voice was astringent: "So, when you saw your nephew's corpse, you cried and almost fainted?" ”

"Husband, I really didn't know that Lu Hua was going to kill him...... " Jiang's expression didn't look like a fake, she hammered her chest with great remorse, "It's still in that cruel way." ”

Lin Boqin lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Since you know that Lu Hua is the murderer, why don't you come to report the case?" ”

Jiang Shi choked up for a while before replying, "I'm afraid...... I'm afraid that this matter will involve me, after all, I coaxed my nephew over. And...... And Lu Hua kept his promise, he took the five manna made and gave me one to eat, my hand, really it didn't hurt for a while, so ...... That's why I didn't say it. ”

"Five nectar?"

Jiang Shi shook his head: "I don't know how Lu Hua did it, he only said that this magic medicine needs my nephew to guide the medicine." ”

"How have you seen him do it?"

"I don't know anything about it, it was Lu Hua who brought me the finished five manna dew, and by the way, let me keep it a secret, he also said...... Everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, one is prosperous, and the other is lost. Jiang sobbed and said, "But I didn't expect that he didn't take his hand and killed Aunt Liu's grandson." ”

Lin Boqin thought of the five-element prayer wheel, so he asked her: "You told Lu Hua about your nephew's birthday?" ”

Jiang Shi was stunned, and it took a while to react, and he said with red eyes: "I haven't mentioned it...... On the contrary, it was Lu Hua, when he gave me five nectar, he said that my nephew's birthday was very good...... I don't understand how he found out about his nephew's birthday. ”

Lin Boqin frowned slightly.

"Why did the lung-eating dog appear at the location of the crime?"

Jiang still didn't know: "Lu Hua didn't mention any cats or dogs at all, he said that someone would take care of this matter...... As for the dog that appeared, Kenneng was a coincidence. ”

Lin Boqin only said coldly: "There are not so many coincidences in the world, Jiang family, so far, you still refuse to recruit from the truth?" ”

"My lord, the folk woman really doesn't know what a lung-eating dog is!" She stepped forward on her knees and said in a wailing voice, "The woman of the people killed her nephew, and her sin is extremely heinous, and she deserves it." The matter has come to this, and the women will not dare to hide it! ”

She wiped the tears on her face indiscriminately: "Regarding this case, I only know that Lu Hua killed my nephew and Aunt Liu's son." ”

Lin Boqin felt that the matter was not over.

He asked coldly: "Then why was Uncle Cui's granddaughter killed after Lu Hua's death?" You really don't have an accomplice? ”

"Except for Lu Hua, I don't know......" Jiang's crying voice was a little hoarse, and she fell to the ground, panting.

She doesn't look like a fake, Lu Hua's death is strange, maybe she was poisoned by the person behind her.

Lin Boqin temporarily took Jiang into custody, he pondered for a moment, and ordered Gu Jingtong to take people and continue to search door to door.

He originally thought that Jiang was the person behind the manipulation, but at present, it seems that Jiang is just a chess piece, or a chess piece that doesn't know anything. can commit crimes in the county town continuously, this person must have a very powerful disguise. Even if he finds Qingyuan County upside down, he has to find clues!

***

Chu Cheng woke up and ate enough, feeling comfortable.

She thought about the case of the lung-eating dog, so she went to the county office to hang around.

As a result, the county government went up to Lin Boqin, down to the government officials to catch fast, and they were all busy. Chu Cheng finally grabbed Hu Yu and asked, only to realize that half of the case had been solved in the morning.

The murderer has been caught.

Lu Hua, Jiang Shi.

After listening to the cause and effect, Chu Cheng only felt cold. What kind of behavior is it to take the lives of others as medicine because of one's own physical pain?

She thought of Emperor Taizu.

The one who believed in Tantra in order to pursue immortality, under the bewitchment of the Tibetan master, did what he did better than Lu Hua and Jiang? Some of the royal family's records of tantra are blank, perhaps because the method is too cruel and unreasonable, it will become a scandal that cannot be known to the Dayuan royal family......

At this critical time, Chu Ji didn't dare to disturb Lin Boqin.

She thought that she had to communicate with Su Yu, so as not to be guessed by Lin Boqin that she was the one who reported the news last time, so she went to the Li family at the root of the north wall to find him.

At this point, he should be inseparable from Xie Tongtong.

Although Li Zhongyi is a merchant, his family is wealthy and the place where he lives is not small. He recently went to Fengshui to find Ke Zhixi to discuss Ke Zhixi's move to the next door, and he was not at home for many days.

Chu Cheng arrived at Li's house, Su Yu was reading and writing at home, and Liang Xiuyun was standing next to him.

When Liang Xiuyun saw her, her eyes were afraid, and she stood in the corner with her shoulders bent, as if she was afraid that Chu Ji would beat her.

"Madame is here."

Su Yu put down his pen and jumped over.

Chu Ji touched his head and asked him, "Last time you reported to Lord Lin, he didn't find anything, right?" ”

Su Yu stuck out his tongue, a little embarrassed: "Lord Lin is so smart, he must have doubts about me, and then he asked me a lot of things, but I couldn't answer them all...... But I never mentioned Madame! ”

Chu Cheng sighed and said, "It's hard for you to say it." ”

"Madame, don't worry, even if the adults want to ask, I am sure that I read the book myself, and he will not take me seriously." Su Yu patted his chest, looking like a little adult, "Anyway, Lord Lin won't torture me to extract a confession." ”

When Chu Cheng heard this, she laughed "poof".

The two of them have already thoroughly understood Lin Boqin's temper.

At this time, Chu Cheng looked around and found that Xie Tongtong was not there, frowning and saying, "By the way, what about Tongtong?" She didn't play at your house? ”

Su Yu shook her head, and it was also very strange: "At this time, she should come to me to bow together...... It is estimated that Sister Xie has something to go out and let her guard the grocery store. ”

Chu Cheng said "oh", and just as he was about to answer, he saw a person hurrying outside the door, he stood outside the window, and reported: "Young Master Yu, Xie Tongtong's sister is here." ”

"Come in, please."

After a while, Xie Luoying stepped into the house.

Today, she wore her hair on top of her head, wearing a thin green cotton jacket and light white loose trousers, which made her even more heroic.

Xie Luoying didn't expect Chu Cheng to be there, so after saying hello, she asked, "Su Yu, where is Tongtong?" ”

Su Yu was stunned when she heard this: "She didn't come...... Didn't Sister Xie let her stay at home? ”

"Nope." Xie Luoying frowned, "She woke up from a nap, brought a rattan ball, and said that she came to you to bow together, it's been a while, and she didn't come?" ”

Chu Cheng also felt that this matter was not quite right.

She asked, "Have you looked elsewhere?" ”

"Found it."

Xie Luoying clasped her hands, frowned, obviously a little flustered: "But I didn't find it, I thought she was with Su Yu!" ”

Everyone thought of the so-called lung-eating dog case.

Su Yu stood up and said busily: "Then let's go and find it, it's going to be dark this day!" ”

The three of them hurriedly went out to look for her, went to a few places where Xie Tongtong often went, and asked the people around them, but they all said that they didn't see her. Chu Cheng felt that things were not very simple, she thought of the "lung-eating dog" that she hadn't found yet, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

She suddenly asked Xie Luoying: "When is Tongtong's birthday?" ”

Xie Luoying was stunned, not understanding what Chu Cheng meant when he asked Xie Tongtong's birthday.

She lowered her head and thought for a while, and replied seriously: "Tongtong was born at two o'clock on the seventh day of July in the thirteenth year of Jianwu. ”

"Thirteen years of Jianwu......" Chu Cheng counted with his fingers, and his heart was cold, "Hugou, the five elements belong to gold!" ”

"Siniang, what's wrong?"

Xie Luoying saw that Chu Hui's face had changed, her heart jumped, and she also knew that something was wrong: "Could it be ...... Tongtong she ......"

"Quick, don't care, knock on the door and ask!"

The two of them didn't care about looking for someone, but they didn't expect to really ask outside Fushou Street. An uncle who sells sugar gourds said, "Is that little girl wearing a red double blessing skirt?" Two pigtails on your head? I had seen her playing with rattan balls here, and then ......," he said, "and the rattan balls fell into the yard of the house. ”

Chu Cheng and Xie Luoying thanked each other, and hurried to the door of the family in three steps and two steps.

But on the newly painted wooden door, the few footprints she left with Xie Tongtong that day had not been erased.
