Tingting asked him, "Which young master are we serving?" ”

"Second master."

"Can Xiao An come with me?"

Steward Zou's expression was a little strange: "It's the first time I've heard this kind of request." ”

He smiled, and his expression became even stranger: "What are you anxious about?" Listen to the arrangement. ”

The two little girls were arranged in the wing room where the servants lived, took a bath first, and then changed into new clothes.

It's just a clean old clothes, and the girls are beautiful.

Then it was time to eat, and there were all kinds of delicious food on the table.

"There's a chicken leg!" There is also pork head meat, and meat that Han Tingting has never eaten. She was already hungry and panicked, so she rushed over to pick up the chicken leg and nibble on it twice, before she said to Xiao An, "Eat, come and eat!" ”

She ate so fast that she didn't notice that the people who had set the plates for them had silently retreated, not looking at them from beginning to end.

The evening breeze blew through the window, and it blew into a few words:

"It's so small."

"Shhhh It's none of our business, don't talk too much! ”

Xiao An sat down at the table and nibbled on only a small piece of chicken.

She didn't have much of an appetite.

Han Tingting swallowed and sighed vaguely: "We are really in the right place, the food in the villa is so good, even the rice is so fragrant!" I haven't eaten rice in three years, and wow, the soup is delicious! ”

Xiao An pressed her hand and whispered, "Let's go, don't stay here." ”

"Why?"

"The monster is about to catch up with me." Xiao An said timidly, "They'll be chasing here, too." ”

Tingting was taken aback: "What monster?" ”

"Monsters that can eat people, eat people without making a sound, I've seen it with my own eyes!"

"No, Green Hills won't let us go. We were sold. Although Tingting is young, she knows one thing very clearly:

To be sold means that there is no personal freedom.

Before he finished speaking, Steward Zou came in with a few healthy servants: "Full?" Wipe your mouth clean, the young master wants to see you. ”

The two girls followed him, turning around and turning through the corridor, and finally entered a courtyard.

Steward Zou, who had been holding his head high, bowed his head to the man in front of him at this time: "Second young master, the new goods are here, can you take a look?" ”

This is the second young master? Han Tingting peeked at it and couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

The second young master's chest and back are very thick, and he still has a big round face, and his eyes are squeezed by the fat.

This is different from the young master in Han Tingting's imagination. Once upon a time, she followed her father and mother into the county seat, and she heard a book once, and the stories were all handsome and clear young masters.

The second young master was very satisfied with her gaze, and reached out to touch her face.

Tingting was startled and wanted to shrink, but Steward Zou pressed her shoulder: "Don't hide." ”

I only heard the second young master say: "It's a little rough, but it looks good." Where are you from? ”

Steward Zou replied: "The big one is from the township, and the small one is picked by the people on the roadside in Chenjiazhuang." ”

"Just two?"

Steward Zou hurriedly said: "Recently, there are not many that meet your requirements. ”

The second young master snorted, pointed at Han Tingting and said, "It's her." Save the small ones until tomorrow night. ”

With that, he turned around and went into the house.

Steward Zou snorted at Han Tingting: "Why are you still stunned, follow up!" Please the young master well, you will have a good life in the villa in the future, do you understand? ”

Han Tingting grabbed Xiao An's hand and comforted her: "You go to sleep first, don't be afraid." I'll come back tomorrow and I'll bring you something to eat." ”

Xiao An nodded vigorously.

A few healthy servants sent Han Tingting into the second young master's house, and Xiao An followed Steward Zou out.

Before leaving the courtyard gate, she turned around again, and it happened that Han Tingting also grinned at her, and made a gesture of gnawing on chicken legs.

Tomorrow morning, secretly bring you a chicken leg!

Xiao An finally showed her first smile since walking with her.

If you want to go to Pei Guo to investigate the murder case, you need local cooperation.

Through the fish horror, He Lingchuan asked the monarch of Pei State for a little authority, that is, a temporary status of an envoy. Pei Jun was also considerate, and also attached an official letter, ordering the county lieutenant who stayed in the county to cooperate with the investigation.

This trick really worked. The county lieutenant's surname is Li, and he still likes to ignore He Lingchuan when he comes to the door, but as soon as the official document arrives, the county lieutenant Li immediately knows that he can't climb high, and his attitude turns 180 degrees, and he personally takes He Lingchuan to the countryside to inspect the location of the crime.

Dong Rui made a request: "Autopsy first." ”

It's been more than half a month, and it's still a damp spring, and the rancid smell of the open coffin in the ground makes people want to vomit, which can smoke the county lieutenant Li and the officers out of the way.

Dong Rui didn't even frown, rolled up his sleeves and jumped down.

The county's pretence that he can't believe it, he has to test it himself to count.

After digging up eleven or twelve corpses in a row and taking them for examination, Dong Ruicai said to He Lingchuan: "This kind of torn wound is very similar to a bear's claw, and the murderer has a sharp claw, but it is smaller and more flexible than a grizzly bear. ”

County Lieutenant Li covered his nose and approached: "How can you see that they are more flexible?" ”

"Most of the injuries on the corpses were on the chest, neck, and rarely below the waist." Dong Rui said casually, "It shows that the murderer picks the key points, basically kills with one or two hits, and does not waste his strength." And look at the wounds on the necks of these two dead men—"

He pointed out to everyone: "The distance between the blood hole poked by the big tooth is very narrow, and the murderer's mouth is smaller than that of the bear, and the tooth marks do not match the bear's teeth." ”

"I won't say much about the details, there were at least four murderers that night, and they were all different in appearance and size." Dong Rui walked to the side of another corpse, "As for these corpses, there are no obvious injuries on the body surface, and they are not poisoned. But they also have a little bit left on them. ”

He had just smeared on these "intact" corpses, and everyone saw that a faint red mark appeared on the corpses.

"Their shoulders and necks were pinched heavily." Dong Rui gestured according to the imprints, "Look, this person was pinched before he died." ”

While he was conducting an autopsy, He Lingchuan was looking through the information of the deceased on the side.

That's a thick stack.

He Lingchuan quickly swept it over and asked County Lieutenant Li: "Why is there only about 20 people's information?" ”

County Lieutenant Li didn't expect him to read the papers so quickly, and Qi Ai said after a while: "The rest, no, no." ”

"Why?"

"In those days, there was a shortage of paper in the yali." Facing the envoy sent down from above, County Lieutenant Li was a little hesitant, "Besides, the wounds of the deceased are almost the same, and the background is the villagers, so ......"

He Lingchuan looked him from head to toe: "County Lieutenant Li is really upright. ”

The work is sparse, and I don't know how to whitewash.

County Lieutenant Li's face was slightly red, knowing that he was sarcastic about himself. "Y-What do you need?"

"Take us to the Zhuangzi where the crime occurred. By the way, how many died peacefully? ”

"There are seven or eight of them."
