Shangguan Jiyue was awakened by a rapid knock on the door, she got up and looked at her side, Huangfu Chen was no longer there.

"Brother Qi, Brother Qi......" Mo Yi's anxious voice sounded outside the door.

Shangguan Jiyue was suddenly startled, quickly dressed and got out of bed, and walked to the door to open the door for Mo Yi.

After the door opened, Mo Yi didn't wait for Shangguan Jiyue to ask, he rushed in and said anxiously: "Oh no, Brother Qi, I found the body again!" ”

"What?!" Shangguan Jiyue was shocked, "When?" Where was it found? ”

"It was found in their house this morning."

"They're at home?! Are you saying that more than one person died? The killer killed them and returned them to their home?! ”

This murderer is really too bold, he kidnaps people and kills them, and then returns the body to someone's house, which is simply a provocation to the government!

Who knew that Mo Yi waved his hand again and again: "No, Brother Qi, you misunderstood!" It's not the missing girl who died, it's two matchmakers! ”

"Matchmaker?!" Shangguan Jiyue was taken aback again, looked at Mo Yi and asked, "What the hell is going on?!" ”

"That's right," Mo Yi said slowly, "Before dawn, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Liu were found dead in their own homes. The neighbors heard their screams and went to check on them, only to find them lying in a pool of blood and dying. So they went to the government to report the case, but the young general and His Royal Highness King Chen went out of the city in the middle of the night with Feige and Liuxia, saying that they had found the kidnapped girl in a small town fifty miles south and north of the city. ”

Shangguan Jiyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked uncertainly again: "You said they found the missing girl?!" ”

Mo nodded: "Yes." But the specifics are not yet known. After a pause, he added, "Now His Royal Highness and the Major General are not in the city, and there is no one in the palace, and now there is another murder in Pingyang City, so I came to find you, Brother Qi." ”

When Shangguan Jiyue heard this, she pondered for a while, and immediately decided: "Let's go, take me to see the two matchmakers who died." ”

She didn't have time to wash, she wore a light men's clothes, her hair was tied up casually, and she looked heroic, as if she had become the female general galloping on the battlefield again.

The two of them left the post house, galloped all the way, and soon arrived at the house of Zhao Matchmaker, who was relatively close.

Mrs. Zhao is a widow in her forties, living alone in two small low-slung mud houses with grass on the roofs. A small courtyard enclosed by an earthen wall more than half a person high, grass also grew on the wall, there was moss in the shade under the wall, a few rows of cabbage and radishes were planted in the yard, and a stove was built against the wall on the east side, which should be a place for cooking.

Before entering the house, Shangguan Jiyue smelled a strong smell of blood.

The officers and men protected the scene very well, and there were no idle people around.

In the house, the smell of blood was even stronger, and Mrs. Zhao fell in a pool of blood, and the bright red blood flowed all over the ground, seeping into the soil under her.

Her face was covered in blood, her eyes were wide open, and her expression was extremely frightened, as if she had seen something terrible before she died.

Her body was covered in wounds, of varying depths, apparently bleeding to death. Before he died, his tongue was brutally cut out, and the bloody half of his tongue was thrown on the ground beside him, which was shocking.

What surprised Shangguan Jiyue even more was that this matchmaker Zhao was actually one of the matchmakers she had seen yesterday who wanted to match Jia Xingbai.

Shangguan Jiyue's heart seemed to have been knocked hard by something, and an idea appeared in her mind, and she quickly suppressed it.

No, it must be a coincidence, he is such a gentle person, it must not be him.

She quickly stood up and said to Mo Yi, "Take me to another deceased." ”

"Yes, Brother Qi."

The two of them rode quickly to Mrs. Liu's house.

Mrs. Liu's family background is similar to that of Mrs. Zhao, they are all widows and have poor family backgrounds.

Her death was as tragic as that of Mrs. Zhao, her blood was drained, and her tongue was cut off and thrown aside. Looking at the same familiar face, Shangguan Jiyue felt that her body became stiff for a moment.

She also saw this matchmaker Liu yesterday, and she also wanted to say goodbye to Jia Xingbai.

The two matchmakers were just about to say goodbye to Jia Xingbai yesterday, but they both died at the same time today. Is this a coincidence or what?

Thinking of Jia Xingbai's strange look when he talked about his deceased wife yesterday, Shangguan Jiyue seemed to understand something in a trance, but she didn't understand it very well. But, no matter what, she thought, it was time for her to go to Jia Xingbai's house.

Coming out of Mrs. Liu's house, Shangguan Jiyue didn't say a word, her expression was solemn, and she was thinking carefully about something in her heart.

Mo Yi led the horse and followed her closely, although he didn't know why, he didn't dare to make a noise to disturb. He only saw that Brother Qi hadn't shown such a heavy expression for a long time.

After walking like this for a while, Shangguan Jiyue suddenly stopped and turned her head to look at Mo Yi.

"Mo Yi, I have something to do for you now, you must do it secretly at dinner today, can you do it?" Shangguan Jiyue's expression was very calm, but her tone was unprecedentedly heavy.

Mo Yi was slightly stunned and nodded: "Brother Qi, you say, I will do my best to do it." ”

"Okay, come here."

Mo Yi walked over slowly, and Shangguan Jiyue whispered in his ear.

"It's important, can you do it?" Shangguan Jiyue asked.

After hearing this, although Mo was puzzled, he still nodded firmly: "Yes!" ”

"Okay, let's go."

"Yes."

As soon as Mo finished speaking, he turned over and hit the horse all the way.

Shangguan Jiyue looked at Mo Yi's back as he gradually moved away, raised her head slightly, looked at the gray sky, and her body did not move for a long time.

——

When Shangguan Jiyue appeared outside Jia Xingbai's door, this handsome and elegant man didn't seem to have any accidents, he smiled faintly, and turned sideways to let Shangguan Jiyue in.

Jia Xingbai's home looks plain from the outside, but when he enters the yard, it gives people a particularly clean and elegant feeling.

The three blue brick houses are lined up in a line facing south from the north, and the window lattices are bright and spotless. The surrounding walls are more than one person high, and they are also made of green bricks, and the walls are flat, smooth and clean.

In the middle of the courtyard is a large plane tree, and its lush branches and foliage cover most of the courtyard. A swing hangs from a tree, next to a stone table, four stone benches. There was a tray on the table, on which was a purple sand teapot with several teacups upside down.

As far as the eye can see, the ground is full of flowers and plants. The whole yard looks peaceful and beautiful, and it doesn't look like the yard of a man who lives alone at all.

There was a faint medicinal fragrance wafting in the courtyard, and Shangguan Jiyue was slightly stunned. The flowers and plants in this yard are actually all medicinal herbs.

As if sensing Shangguan Jiyue's gaze, Jia Xingbai smiled lightly, looked at the swing, and said in a soft voice: "That's what she likes." ”

Shangguan Jiyue also smiled, and then understood: "I see." ”

"It's nothing, she doesn't like many things, it's all arranged according to what she liked when she was alive."

"Then she is really happy, even if she is gone, there is still someone who misses her like this."

Jia Xingbai smiled and didn't speak, but Shangguan Jiyue obviously saw that the shallow smile didn't seem to reach the bottom of his eyes.

While speaking, Jia Xingbai had already let Shangguan Jiyue to the stone table and sat down beside the stone table.
