Chapter 17 Stripping the Cocoon

Cut, what kind of attitude? She Ye Shi was kind enough to help him, but she was so indifferent? Sure enough, men are all virtuous, what are they pretending to be? Isn't it just the point of the eyes? What's the big deal...... Ye Shi gritted his teeth and followed hatefully.

"Tell me about all the things related to Yun'er on the day before yesterday." Zuo Sheng took a sip of tea and said lightly.

Qiu smiled and fell into the memory, and said slowly:

"She came very early that day, and she was in a very good mood, holding my hand and talking about it, I didn't know what made her so happy at first. Later, Xiao Jane took a large sum of money to ask me to exchange Yun'er's deed of sale, and I found out. ”

"Wait, is this little Jane the pianist Jian Yan from the Spring Courtyard?" Ye Shi asked.

Exactly, they get close on weekdays and have the possibility of falling in love with each other, but both of them are extremely low-key and never put on the surface. Their relationship didn't surprise me, so I didn't think much about it and gave him the deed of sale. But the strange thing is that a pianist in Xiaojian District has a poor life on weekdays, how can he have so much money? Qiu smiled and frowned.

"How much did he give you?" Zuo Sheng asked out loud.

"A bar of gold."

"Go on."

"And then they went together, and I don't know why it got to this point." Qiu Han paused with a smile and said,

"Judge Zuo, you said that Yun'er, the poor child, was killed, but what suspicions do you have?"

Zuo Sheng secretly wondered: Isn't the most suspicious object now Jian Yan? She seemed to trust this man completely, why?

"Aunt Qiu, do you think it's more likely that Xiao Jane is the murderer?" Ye Shi then asked.

Qiu Hanxiao hurriedly waved his hand and said in surprise:

"Miss Ye, why do you think so? Jane is a child who is obsessed with the piano on weekdays, approachable, and extremely friendly. Although he was not a monk, he was compassionate, and he never even ate a piece of meat, and he was so thin that it made people feel distressed, as if a gust of wind could blow him away. How could a man like him kill the woman he loved? It doesn't make sense! ”

"But after the accident, Jane hasn't appeared in the past few days, right?" Ye Shi asked.

"He is a wandering musician who has no fixed place to live, not to mention that after experiencing such sadness, how can he still come to Yingchun Courtyard......" Qiu Han sighed with a smile.

"Do you still have an impression of the specific content of the conversation he had with you that day, or the tone of his demeanor?" Zuo Sheng asked.

"It'......s nothing special," Qiu smiled and muttered for a while, "He said that he came to ransom Yun'er, and then gave me a piece of gold and asked me to give him the deed of sale." ”

"Thinking about it, isn't it any different from usual?"

"If I had to be honest, it was the white silk I was carrying. He wrapped the gold in white silk for me, and then took another one out of his sleeve and wiped his hand repeatedly. It's been a long time, but I thought it was a little strange at the time. But just one action doesn't mean anything, right? After a pause, she continued:

"Xiao Jane's mood that day was also very good, he usually looks lukewarm, but in fact, his heart is very warm and will take care of people. On that day, there was a joy that radiated from the inside out, more intimate than ever, but also seemed extremely distant...... Alas, I don't know what I'm talking about. She scratched her head and smiled apologetically,

"Judge Zuo, these probably won't help you much, will they? I'm sorry, but I can only remember these fragments. ”

Zuo Sheng pondered for a while and said slowly: "It's okay." Would you mind taking out the ingot and showing it to me? ”

"Wait a minute." Qiu Hanxiao took out a small box from under the bed, opened it, and carefully took out the ingot of gold. Because the amount is too large, if it is exchanged for a silver ticket, it will be targeted. So after getting it, she just kept it carefully and didn't use it for anything.

Zuo Sheng lifted the gold wrapped in white silk and took it in his hand and looked at it carefully: the gold was very new, there were no fine scratches around, it should not have been turned, and it was taken directly from the vault or treasure chest. Jian Yan is a luthier, and it is impossible to have a vault, so the only way to get brand new gold is nothing more than two things: one is given by others, and the other is exchanged from the pawnshop after saving money himself. The second case can be quickly denied, and it is still too far-fetched to exchange the little income he already has for gold, and it can only be given by someone. That person has a treasury in his home, and he must be a person who is either rich or noble, and what is the relationship between him and this little Jane? Why help him?

"Huh? This piece of white silk looks quite familiar, and it is something used by the rich. Ye Shi raised his eyebrows and said.

"This is the unique ice cicada silk of the Di Kingdom Bingxiu Pavilion." Zuo Sheng explained, his slender fingers pinched the silk horn, turned it over, looked at it carefully, and suddenly said:

"Look at this." His slender finger pointed at one of the corners, on which was embroidered with the word "ice" in extremely thin light blue silk thread, which was completely unrecognizable unless he looked closely.

"Xiao Jane shouldn't use silk on weekdays, right?" Ye Shi asked.

"I don't know." Qiu Hanxiao shook his head and said, "It looks like it's a top grade, maybe it's from this gold?" She looked at Zuo Sheng, but saw him frowning and thinking.

After a while, he frowned, and suddenly got up and said:

"Thank you, Aunt Qiu, for your trouble."

"No trouble, no trouble." Qiu Han smiled and waved his hand, "I also told Judge Zuo what I knew, I don't know if it will be useful." ”

"I basically know the direction." He slowly walked out of the door, and behind him Ye Shi said in surprise,

"Got an answer so soon?" The two walked out of the Spring Festival Courtyard, and Ye Shi asked:

"What is the connection between this murderer and Jane?"

Zuo Sheng said:

"The connection is not necessarily, but he must have been selected to target Jian Yan. On the day of the crime, the murderer imitated Jian Yan's appearance, took Yun'er away from the Spring Festival Courtyard and killed her, and then disguised herself as a suicide. ”

"How so?" Ye Shi raised his eyebrows.

"You should remember that Aunt Qiu's description just now mentioned that Jian Yan gave her the feeling of 'more amiable than ever, but it seemed extremely distant'. After a person is born, if he is not subjected to special stimuli, the feeling will change with the change of the surrounding things and time, but it is long-term. Jian Yan was still there the day before the crime, but she gave Aunt Qiu, who had been in contact with Jian Yan for a long time, two different feelings, which contradicted her past cognition, in order to make Aunt Qiu doubt herself. Even if a person deliberately pretends to do it, it is unlikely that he will do it, and Jian Yan does not need to do so. Unless, before and after, it's two people. ”

"And what if Jane was in disguise from the start? In order to better survive in this society? Ye Shi questioned.

"Of course, you can't draw conclusions from that alone." Zuo Sheng paused and replied:

Aunt Qiu said that he had a few white silk silks. If someone gives it to him, it is not necessary to wrap it in gold. And after giving away the gold at that time, he wiped his hands repeatedly with a silk handkerchief, obviously not stained with anything, what was he wiping? ”

Ye Shi frowned and pondered for a while, and said, "Think the gold is dirty?" Oh...... Is it a habit of cleanliness? But this is normal, many people have it. ”

"His cleanliness habit is more serious, and he should not usually haunt public places, otherwise the people around him will rub him and touch him, which is enough to drive him crazy. If Jian Yan is the murderer, it is extremely unlikely that he will stay in this kind of place for half a year just to kill a woman. Severe cleanliness, to put it mildly, is a mental illness that is unlikely to be eradicated; And even if you deliberately control it, you will involuntarily be exposed to your every move. ”

"But if that's the case, why did he choose Yun'er to do it?" Ye Shi frowned.

"I should have said that this murderer has a strong sense of disguise, and his entire criminal process is a complete system, and the people he chooses should also have his own reasons. For a repeat offender like him, killing is no longer just about enjoying pleasure. He knew that choosing this place might expose his weaknesses, but he did it anyway, why? Because he is conceited, he believes that even if we find a weakness, we will not be able to arrest him. This was the source of joy he could get. ”

When Ye Shi heard this, he was silent for a long time.

"You said that when you first took office, he went crazy and never appeared again, why did he suddenly ...... these days"

Maybe it's because he wants to experience life on a whim. Having had enough experience and wanting to come back and continue his 'art', it naturally appeared again, who knows. Zuo Sheng looked at the wisps of white clouds hanging in the blue sky, sighed and said.

……

The Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Qi.

Wu'er slowly opened his eyes, and the delicate and complicated curtain above his head made him stunned for a long time. A trance flashed in his eyes, remembering his mother, along with his family, who was destroyed in the fire. Tears flowed out without warning, and his heart was like a knife, and his whole body curled up together, whimpering in pain. Shen Wan on the side saw it, hugged the child in his arms, patted his back with his hand, and said:

"Child, cry if you want to, my sister is here."

When Wu'er heard this, she buried her head in Shen Wan's arms and began to cry. Beigong Han and Shen Wan looked at each other and saw the deep distress in each other's eyes. I don't know how long later, Wu'er raised his head, his emaciated face was still covered with undried tears, he hoarsely asked:

"Sister, who are they? Why do you want to hurt my mother? ”

Shen Wan was stunned and replied softly:

"They are people from outside the territory of the Divine Continent, and they have extremely vicious spells...... Their hearts are broken, they can't understand the emotions of ordinary people, and are only driven by the demon of greed to hurt innocent people. But don't worry, my sister is tracking their whereabouts, and I believe that soon, there will be results. ”

Wu'er wiped the tears from his face, sniffed, raised his head and said, "I want to be with you too." ”

Beigong Han frowned, then touched his head, and said in a deep voice:

"Wu'er, I believe you have realized that you have a special ability in your body. If you learn how to control it, we can consider it and get you together. ”
