The atmosphere in the room was quiet and a little terrifying, the most unconsciously were Xiao Song and Ran Yan, one still looked idle and powerful, and the other was hidden behind the fence, hanging his eyes and staring at the tips calmly, but he didn't know that the rest of the people were already sweating.

There was a string of footsteps outside, and Liu Pinrang's inquiry, and then Liu Pinrang, who was wearing a scarlet robe, hurriedly walked in, and saw Xiao Song hurriedly arched his hand, "According to the inspector, a pair of cloth shoes were found in the house of Master Jingyuan, and the pattern of the sole of the shoes is very similar to the shape of the chest of the first deceased, and the cloth shoes are stained with the soil of the back mountain, which has been dried and fallen off, and it is very likely that it was stained a month ago." ”

Jingyuan is not in charge of Yingmei Nunnery, and Ran Yan has only seen her once, and has the impression that she is a nun in her forties, and her appearance is not good-looking, but it gives people a sense of peace and tranquility, and in addition, she can't remember her specific appearance.

"Liu Tingshi is in charge." Xiao Song replied.

"The lower official plans to interrogate in the nunnery, and if he can't get rid of his involvement, he will be brought back to the yamen." Liu Pinrang didn't scruple and didn't take people away immediately.

Xiao Song nodded and said, "Then let's go." ”

Liu Pinrang's face was calm and waveless, in fact, his heart was already about to be scorched, the impact of this incident was extremely poor, the emperor sent an envoy, obviously to give him a chance, if this case is solved beautifully, this matter is mostly ambiguous, if the case cannot be solved for a long time, it will undoubtedly be worse.

Xiao Song walked to the door and suddenly stopped, looked at Ran Yan and said, "Seventeen Niang might as well come and listen." ”

What he said was exactly what Liu Pin wanted, because Xiao Song was present, he didn't want to let a little lady follow him, since Xiao Song proposed it first, he had no scruples, and immediately said, "Ran Niangzi has quite an opinion on prison, please don't shirk." ”

The two fourth-grade officials have said so, can Ran Yan say it? I had to say a polite word or two, and followed them to the front hall.

When Xiao Song and his entourage arrived at the front hall, there were already twenty or thirty officials and nuns waiting in the hall. Ran Yan looked at the outfits of the nuns, there were three Haiqing robes with wide waists and wide sleeves, round necks and square plackets, neat and groomed, solemn and solemn, it was Jingyuan, Jinghui, and Jingxue, and they were each followed by a little nun, and it was the Phantom Sky standing behind Jinghui Shitai.

These three female nuns with higher status, Shu Jingxue is the youngest, about twenty-four or five years old, with round faces and big eyes, plump lips, and smiles at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, looking extremely kind; Jinghui is slender and long, about thirty years old, with a thin melon seed face and extremely light eyebrows.

Most of Ran Yan's attention was on Jing Yuan, this nun in her forties, her size, etc., at first glance she didn't look special, her facial features were upright, but she wasn't outstanding, but she stood there, quiet as air, if it wasn't for her interrogation today, ordinary people wouldn't have noticed this person at all.

Several female nuns bowed to Xiao Song and Liu Pinrang and bowed down to make a Buddhist salute.

Liu Pinrang glanced at Xiao Song, and saw that he didn't mean to ask, so he opened his mouth to invite a few teachers to take a seat, and then began his official and enthusiastic opening remarks, "Several teachers are all outsiders, logically speaking, this official should not disturb your Qingxiu, but this serial murder case is really inhumane, outrageous Suzhou City people panic, this official does not catch the murderer, betrays the emperor's trust, and is sorry for the trust of the people......"

Xiao Song took a cup of tea, took a sip, as if he was very patient, gently put the cup on the table, and waited for him to continue.

Liu Pin swept the afterglow, coughed dryly, and then said, "Today, I searched Gui'an and found these shoes in the Jingyuan Master's room, it just so happened that these shoes were stained with the soil of the back mountain, and the pattern on the soles of the shoes was also very similar to the marks on the chest of a deceased, the official had to ask clearly, Jingyuan Shitai, where did you go from the end of the seventh month (21:00) to the next day (1:00 in the morning)?" ”

This is the death given by Ran Yan when he examines the first corpse, if the corpse is dissected in time, this segment can be shortened to within an hour, if the death is not long, it can even narrow the error to less than a moment, but unfortunately, after a month, the current autopsy may not be so accurate.

"It's rested." Jogaki answered almost without thinking.

"Why are you so sure?" Liu Pinrang asked.

Jingyuan still had a faint expression, his eyes were closed, and he never looked directly at anyone, "I rest every day, and I never make a mistake when I rise and fall." ”

This is indeed a normal rest, and because of this, the possibility of witnesses is very small.

Regarding these shoes, Ran Yan felt a little strange, after a murderer killed someone, he must have to eliminate the traces, and he would be careless enough to leave the mud from a month ago on the shoes? Even if the last killing was a rainy day, and it was more than a day since now, even if you keep your shoes, why do you still keep mud?

"Did Master Jogaki kill anyone?" Xiao Song, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, changing the way he asked in circles, which was very sharp.

Jingyuan still lowered his eyes, without the slightest panic, "The poor nun is a person who cultivates and can kill." ”

"Oh, then please tell me, are these shoes owned by Mrs. Shi? When and where was the mud on the shoes? Xiao Song asked.

"The shoes are mine, but they don't get muddy all the time." Jingyuan Road.

"Guan Shi is a person who likes to be clean, I don't know how often to clean clothes, shoes and socks? Look at how dry the soil is, it's been at least five days, and I wonder why it's been sitting in your room all the time? ”

"A few days ago, I was not feeling well, so my apprentices washed my clothes on my behalf, and as for why my shoes fell, I didn't know."

"From the time when the apprentice will baptize on his behalf?"

"Half a month ago."

"Dates?"

"July 17."

……

Xiao Song's questions were thrown out like flying knives, as if they had not thought about it at all, so that the person being questioned did not have the slightest defense, making both the person being asked and the person listening to it sweat.

Even if she could answer these questions without any answers, she still couldn't get rid of her suspicion, because in every death of the deceased, no one proved that she had slept in her room all the time and never went out.

In the same way, just a mud-stained sole does not prove that Kiragaki is the murderer, so the final result can only be temporarily detained.

When everyone in the hall withdrew, Xiao Song suddenly turned his head and asked Ran Yandao, "Don't you think of this interrogation?" ”

"I'll only do an autopsy and nothing else." Ran Yan's strength is to infer the death of the deceased, the position of the deceased, the place where the deceased had been, etc., according to the clues, she is a forensic doctor, not Sherlock Holmes, she doesn't even have a corpse, she plays, can she have an idea with just a few words of interrogation?

Xiao Song listened to her tone as if he was a little angry, smiled slightly, leaned forward, leaned in her ear and said, "That'...... I'll come back to you next night. ”

His voice was already charming, and he did it deliberately, which became more and more disturbing, Ran Yan probably wanted to ask her to help with the autopsy, but he just deliberately teased her, so he coldly shook him a knife eye through the soap veil, "Xiao press the inspector, you are wearing an official uniform, please respect yourself." ”

Ran Yan's original intention was: You are an official of the imperial court, and you can do dirty things that tease the little lady

But when he arrived at Xiao Song's place, he suddenly changed his taste, and he said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't wear an official uniform next night." ”

This person looks calm and magnificent, but he always acts like a second ancestor, Ran Yan gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "The parents of the body, Xiao Langjun has a good appearance, and he can't do things without this appearance, otherwise it will be a big unfilial piety." ”

With that, he got up and walked out the door.

Xiao Song had a bigger smile on his face, looking at Ran Yan's back shrouded in the power fence, even those bright eyes were dyed with a smile, he reached out and picked up the teacup, just put it to his lips, but his hand stopped, skimmed the water with the lid of the cup, and put it back on a few, the smile was a little more meaningful.

Liu Pin asked Fang Cai to secretly pay attention to Xiao Song's movements, although he had never heard the content of the conversation, but he seemed to be quite annoyed when he saw Ran Yan, so he privately thought that it was nothing more than a matter of children's affection, his heart moved slightly, and he sighed and said, "Ran Seventeen Niang is really a woman who does not lose her eyebrows, and the ability of the autopsy is by no means comparable to ordinary people, but it is a pity...... Alas, after a few days, when you get married, I'm afraid you won't be able to move easily. ”

Xiao Song stood up and straightened his clothes, looked at Liu Pinrang, and said lightly, "It is a very important time to be able to help you, Liu Tingshi should be happy, Liu Tingshi has always been conscientious, and his sleeves are clean, so that the emperor will suppress those impeachments and send me to assist in handling the case. ”

From Xiao Song's performance, it was not obvious that he paid attention to Ran Yan, Liu Pinrang was puzzled, but he made a grateful look on his face, "The old man will definitely go all out, and he will never live up to the emperor's trust." According to the inspector, he came from afar, and immediately plunged into the case without resting, which really made the old man ashamed."

In the officialdom, you can't say anything, only loyalty to the emperor, not only to be full, but also to the sky, put life and death out of the way, and don't hesitate to say a word for the emperor, no matter what you think in your heart, you will actually do it, at least you have to say it so on your lips.

The two played official tones with each other, and walked out of the Shadow Plum Nunnery, and each got into the carriage.

As soon as Xiao Song sat in the car, he put away his warm smile and said, "Bai Yi." ”

At this time, he was full of a compelling momentum, giving people a feeling of suffocation.

Bai Yi, an iron-clad man, sat at the door of the car with restraint, and said respectfully, "Lang Jun." ”

"You asked you to stop the person sent by the old lady to the Ran Mansion to propose marriage, did you stop it?" Xiao Song's sword eyebrows unconsciously folded, I heard that the old lady and Shu Niang were planning to go to Suzhou Ran Mansion to propose, he didn't feel repulsed in his heart, but before he figured out the reason for his so-called "wife", he could marry another one and go home to die. After all, Ran Yan is different from Du and Lu......

Yes By].
