"Naturally, take it seriously, the water that I spilled out of what Xiao Song said." How could Xiao Song not see her idea, "Isn't Seventeen Niang just trying to let me cancel the proposal?" As long as you help Liu Tingshi solve the case within five days, your request will naturally not be a problem. Xiao Song has some thoughts about Ran Yan, but the current situation is not suitable for marrying a wife, and he doesn't like Ran Yan to the extent that he doesn't marry, so why drag an innocent lady to his house to die?

Besides, this pro was not sent by Xiao Song to mention, he had long prevented the old lady from keeping a hand, so he learned that the old lady sent four teams of relatives, Xiao Song asked people to chase and intercept all the way, but I didn't expect the old lady to let Shu Niang personally bring the dowry, and she had already sneaked to Suzhou secretly, and she was mentioning the family matter yesterday.

Xiao Song is twenty years old this year, and he will be twenty-seven after the New Year, and other people's families are running all over the ground, he doesn't even have one, the old lady is anxious to sleep and eat all day, as soon as she heard Shu Niang say that Xiao Song seems to be a little different from Ran Seventeen Niang, she immediately sent someone to propose marriage, where to care if the door is enough

Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy. This time, it was obviously Xiao Song who had the upper hand, but before the end of the matter, it was not too late for him to take back the initiative.

"I don't believe you." Ran Yan's words made Xiao Song angry and wanted to vomit blood, and the always perfect disguise was a bit broken.

He Xiao Song has never been so gentlemanly, although he has already guessed the result, but listening to Ran Yan's straightforward words, there is still a sour feeling in his heart.

Ran Yan didn't know what he was thinking, and continued, "Unless after you go to the official office, Liu Tingshi testifies and makes an oath, and you sign and draw the pledge." ”

Xiao Song's face darkened, thinking about when he had been insulted like this, and said with anger at the moment, "Believe it or not, I won't suffer if you marry me anyway." ”

"It's up to you whether you draw or not, anyway, I'll get married, but it's just a death, it's not a big deal." Ran Yan put down this sentence and asked him in a cold voice, "Is it possible to let go of my maid?" ”

Xiao Song raised his hand slightly, and when Bai Yi and the soldiers saw it, they let go of Song Blue and Evening Green at the moment.

This case doesn't have much to do with Xiao Song, he cares so much about the case, I'm afraid he has other thoughts. For an important matter, since he has taken a step back, it is possible to take another two or three steps back, and Ran Yan's request is not too excessive, the contract is a private matter, so that he will not be able to wipe his face, at most he will feel uncomfortable, Xiao Song has been in the officialdom for many years, and some things will weigh the pros and cons, so Ran Yan bets that he will compromise.

"Okay, I promise you."

Before Ran Yan could take three steps, Xiao Song called out to her.

Ran Yan's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he paused and said to the evening green road, "Take the medicine box I usually use." ”

Wan Lu secretly glanced at Xiao Song, who had a black face, shrunk his neck, and quickly ran back to Yingmei Nunnery.

Xiao Song glared at Ran Yan, and his already bright eyes were almost spewing fire. The desireless are fearless, Ran Yan doesn't even care about life and death, he really has no better way to take her. He could see that Ran Yan didn't care about the interests and reputation of the Ran family at all, the only thing she cared about was probably Ran Shilang, and he didn't do a lot of dirty things, but he didn't want to threaten her with this.

While waiting, Xiao Song didn't intend to let Ran Yan go, "Now that an agreement has been reached, can Seventeen Niang talk about her views on this case?" ”

"There is only one suspect at the moment. Since it is a business matter, Ran Yan is absolutely public and will not carry the slightest personal emotion.

"No, it can be said that everyone in the entire Shadow Plum Temple is suspicious, and I am more suspicious of Jinghui Shitai than Jogaki Shitai." Xiao Song said.

Ran Yan was stunned for a moment, she really didn't notice that Jinghui Master was too suspicious, "Why?" ”

"Her meditation room is only two zhang away from the meditation room of Master Jingyuan, and it is said that she did not do needlework before becoming a monk, but she has done less in recent years, but my news is not true, there is a needle-point wound on her right index finger, it seems that it was formed recently, and Mrs. Jingyuan's confession said that the shoes were made by her apprentice Phantom Wu, but compared with the needlework in the past, it can be significantly different." Xiao Songjiang said them one by one, and finally added, "Of course, that Huanwu is also suspicious, maybe she usually hides clumsiness, and there is also a suspicion of Jinghui's apprentice Huankong, I heard that Jinghui Master often instructs her to make needles, and the little nun is very unskilled." ”

Ran Yan looked careless when he looked at Xiao Song when he investigated the scene, but he didn't expect that he didn't even let go of a pinpoint-sized scar on the index finger of a nun.

Hearing him mention Phantom Sky again, Ran Yan suddenly thought of an incident that happened a month ago, "Phantom Sky once asked me to help her perform an autopsy, but I refused. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Song turned his head to the soldiers behind him and said, "Invite the little master of the phantom sky to the Yuncong Temple at the bottom of the mountain." ”

The government soldiers were ordered to retreat, and Wan Lu just trotted out of the Shadow Plum Nunnery with a toolbox.

In order to facilitate Ran Yan's autopsy, Xiao Song ordered the body to be transported to a remote and abandoned meditation room in Yuncong Temple in advance.

In order not to be noticeable, Xiao Song led them through the side door of the temple. Just before the monks' dinner, there are many monks on the main road, so you can only take a detour through the path.

Xiao Song's steps were very large, Ran Yan was very difficult to follow, he kept walking with his head down, and it was the first time he entered Yuncong Temple, so he didn't notice it when he passed by the Library Pavilion, until Sang Chen, who was wearing a pale robe, came to meet him, Xiao Song stopped, and Ran Yan was already standing less than five steps away from them.

Both of them proposed to the Ran Mansion, and they should be somewhat hostile, but they seem to be a little different. After a long confrontation, Sang Chen's gaze was unfocused, and Xiao Song looked indifferent.

"If you don't go through the years, you will come from afar?" Xiao Song asked.

Sang Chen frowned and replied lightly, "If you have to worry about work, everything is fine." ”

After saying that, he looked at Ran Yan again, his face was slightly red, his eyes were evasive, and his voice seemed a little erratic, "It's evening, how did the lady come to the temple?" ”

After the morning bell and dusk drum, after the dusk drum, the temple will no longer receive pilgrims, and Ran Yan naturally cannot enter the incense, most of this matter has something to do with Xiao Song, thinking of this, Sang Chen's already displeased eyes are even more unkind when he looks at Xiao Song.

"There's something to do." Ran Yan said.

Sang Chen saw the toolbox that Wanlu was carrying, so he didn't ask any more, but said, "Lady everything." ”

This is the most normal time that Ran Yan has ever seen Sang Chen, in the past, whenever he saw him, he was lively and stupid, although he was no different from ordinary people at the moment, he seemed to have lost his life, and the whole person looked pale and his expression was ercareless.

Xiao Song looked at his dejected back, turned around and said, "Let's go." ”

"You deliberately led me through the Scripture Pavilion." Ran Yan said coldly.

Xiao Song did not admit or deny it, "He is different from others, if ordinary people see you and me, they will definitely think that we are ambiguous, but you don't, all his words are just perfunctory, and there is no existence of you or me at all." ”

Looking back, it seems that this is the case.

"What does that mean?" Ran Yan has always been very confused about Sang Chen's way of thinking.

"He's thinking about things." Xiao Song's answer was concise and clear.

On ordinary people, rivals in love have to blush when they meet, but they are brought by such a faint way, Xiao Song has a feeling of being powerful and nowhere to use in addition to "sure enough".

For this kind of answer, Ran Yan is no longer surprised, but he has a little distance from Xiao Song in his heart, this person's every move and word may be calculated, for people in the officialdom, this is not a good place, but Ran Yan appreciates his father Xiao Yu's straightforward and upright personality more.

"You think I'm a small person." Xiao Song smiled faintly.

Ran Yan didn't answer, because his approach was indeed very small.

Ran Yan who watched it acquiesced, not only was he not angry, but the smile on his face was even bigger, burning like the sun, which made people dare not force his eyes.

When he arrived at the meditation room where the body was stored, Liu Pinrang had already waited in the courtyard with Yu Bohao, the prison judge.

Ran Yan saluted Liu Pinrang, and after a little greeting or two, Liu Pinrang ordered several people to enter the house together.

At this time, the light is acceptable, but the house is already lit.

Ran Yan looked at the light and said, "There is still a period of time before it gets dark, it is best to have enough light, without further ado, let's dissect it first." ”

Liu Pinrang also meant exactly that, and when he heard Ran Yan say this, he immediately nodded in agreement.

In the meditation room, a corpse was placed on each of the three wooden boards, covered with a plain cloth, and although the corpse had been preserved with ice, it was still inevitable that it would be heavily decomposed, and the whole room was filled with this foul smell.

Ran Yan quickly withdrew from the door and explained to the others, "There is no need to hold your breath in particular, don't close your mouth suddenly, for fear of rushing in." ”

Ran Yan smeared his nose with sesame oil, contained ginger slices, put on a mask at the door, lit atractylodes soaphorns and other things, and asked the rest of the people to make the same preparations, and several people entered the house together.

"Tell the officials to prepare a large amount of water." Ran Yan scolded Liu Pinrang several times in her heart, and when the body was still fresh, she was not allowed to inspect it, so she had to be shelved like this before coming to her. It's all the fault of feudal thinking.

"Which one is the newest corpse?" Ran Yan asked.

Yu Bohao pointed to the one in front of his feet and said, "This is it, a few days ago, the same as the first corpse, the deceased has bruises on the back of the deceased, like a stick, and there are also ...... on his clothes and pants Uh, filth. ”

Yu Bohao also wants to explain the facts professionally and without the slightest gender scruples, but unfortunately his skills are a little weaker, and he can't say those words to a little lady.

Ran Yan nodded, and raised his hand to signal Evening Green and Song Blue to go out. Although she really wanted to test the courage of the two, she felt that it was still necessary to take it step by step, the corpse at this time was the most terrifying and disgusting, and the gas of the corpse decay was harmful to the human body, Ran Yan didn't want them to have a psychological shadow.

Evening Green and Gelan didn't move, Liu Pinrang turned his head and said, "Two girls go out." ”

When the assassin spoke, they didn't dare to insist no matter how bold they were, so they owed themselves and withdrew from the door.

As soon as the two went out, Ran Yan uncovered Su Bu, and several people in the house were caught off guard by a body with a height of **, black all over, with distorted facial features, filled with ** gas like the corpse of a giant, and maggots were born on the lower body and mouth and nose of the corpse.

Yes By].
