This made Lin Xi puzzled: "Didn't you say that you were going to find Yang Shizhong, why did he come to us?" Did someone tell him the news of our arrival when we arrived in the county? ”

Shen Chen shook his head and said, "It's not because of this, but because of the woman who died next door?" ”

Lin Xi was stunned: "She? ”

Shen Chen said: "Well, I woke up early and went out to take a look." The wing room had been sealed, and there were two officials on duty. In addition, there are several officials on the first floor, one of which is the head of the local yamen in the county. ”

Lin Xi listened and understood a little.

She said: "Hey, this is not a small fight, it seems that the identity of the woman who died is very important, right?" ”

"Not bad."

Shen Chen took some snacks for Lin Xi to eat, and when he mentioned this, his brows were furrowed.

"I inquired with the innkeeper, and the woman was specially sent here to live here, and someone took care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation. In addition, I took a look last night, and the woman's clothes were extraordinary, and the clothes were also fashionable, similar to the materials that Zhuo Minghe gave you not long ago to make clothes, all of them were from the north. ”

Lin Xi subconsciously looked down at the clothes on his body.

Not long ago, Dabao's birthday, Zhuo Minghe remembered it very much, although the person did not arrive, but people sent a lot of gifts, and they had a family of six.

Her gift was a dozen pieces of silk, and the last time she heard a passing merchant mention that it was beautiful and comfortable, she wanted it a little.

After the material came, sure enough, the color and pattern were relatively novel, and it was a hobby of Helin Creek.

So Lin Xi specially asked Chen's mother to dress her first.

This is secondary, the point is that the material is not cheap.

Lin Xi said thoughtfully: "Although the woman was taken care of, she died last night, and there was no family to collect her body for so long, which means that she is alone in the county." Someone took care of her and handled her home, which means that she has no money of her own. In addition, silk is a precious item, and it is even more expensive to transport it from the north. ”

"Yes, it is indeed suspicious that an orphan girl can use this material to make clothes to wear."

An incredible thought flashed through Lin Xi's mind.

"Shen Chen, do you mean that the deceased was kept outside in the outer room? Yang Shizhong will come because of this, should not. It's Yang Shizhong's outer room, right? ”

"Ahem—ahem......"

Shen Chen was choked by Lin Xi's thought, and almost choked on a sip of tea.

He laughed and said, "No." ”

"Scared me." Lin Xi said, "I also said that Yang Shizhong is from a clan and is an official. Why do you want to raise an outer room? If you raise it...... It can't be in a remote place like a county. ”

"But the woman is pretty much the same." Shen Chen suddenly said again.

Lin Xi: "? ”

Shen Chen put down the teacup and explained: "This woman was originally born in the north, was sold by her family to Renyazi, and was brought here again. Because of her beauty, she was bought by the county lieutenant and became a singer in her house. Later, after hearing that Yang Shizhong was coming, he brought this woman to come, wanting to take the opportunity to please Yang Shizhong. ”

Lin Xi: "......"

Shen Chen continued: "This is the day before yesterday. After that, the county lieutenant left the woman behind, but Yang Shizhong didn't want it. But the woman had already stayed at Yang Shizhong's residence for the night, and the county lieutenant didn't know what to do, so he had to arrange for her to live here. ”

With Yang Shizhong's name, Yang Shizhong doesn't want it, and the county lieutenant can't bring people back to his mansion again.

Otherwise, what does it look like to say it?

The corners of Lin Xi's mouth twitched: "It's a real flower." And this Yang Shizhong, I didn't expect him to be this kind of person. ”

"In short, the woman died mysteriously in the inn, and the people who followed her had already told the county lieutenant. The county lieutenant will naturally tell Yang Shizhong. We appeared in front of the official messenger last night, and Yang Shizhong will soon know that we are here, and he will come to us when the time comes. Shen Chen said.

Lin Xi hissed, "It's only been a long time, and you've found out this, it's too powerful!" ”

Shen Chen raised his eyebrows slightly: "The lady has won the award." ”

"However, since this woman has a relationship with the county lieutenant and Yang Shizhong, wouldn't her death be very important? Who would kill her? Are the county lieutenants and Yang Shizhong's rivals? Lin Xi asked worriedly.

Her main concern was, since it was so important, would it implicate them?

After all, they also live in this inn.

The murderer is unknown, and anyone in the inn will be suspected, so it cannot be said that it is completely ruled out.

Shen Chen's eyes deepened: "I don't know." ”

He comforted Lin Xi, "It's okay, it's not us left and right." No matter how much it moves, it will never fall on us. ”

"Yes."

This made Lin Xi put a snack.

At this time, Erbao woke up and called them in a daze.

Lin Xi immediately got up and went over, and Shen Chen also went out to call the guys for breakfast.

Erbao put on his coat sleepily and said, "Mother, I probably heard what you said to your father." ”

Lin Xi pinched his nose, "If you hear it, you hear it, don't talk about it to outsiders, remember?" ”

Erbao nodded, "I can only tell my family." ”

After getting dressed and getting out of bed, Erbao asked Lin Xi curiously while washing: "Mother, who is the murderer?" ”

"I don't know, the government hasn't found out, how can we not know?" Lin Xi wiped his face with a handkerchief.

Shen Chen, who came back, heard it and suddenly asked, "Erbao, do you like to investigate cases?" ”

Erbao blinked, "Sort of, these sound interesting." ”

Lin Xi smiled: "Investigating the case is not interesting, but a very important thing. Erbao, you think, but in every case, there are deceased, murderers, innocent people who have been implicated, and witnesses who can bring truth and justice, but all of them are interlocked, and if you miss one step, it will bring serious consequences. ”

Erbao nodded as if he didn't understand.

Lin Xi thought to himself, if the plot of the original book is followed, Erbao will be the official to the first assistant in the future.

It's not from Dali Temple.

Could it be influenced by Shen Chen?

"Lady, you and Erbao are waiting in the room, I'll rush breakfast." Shen Chen said.

Lin Xi nodded.

Erbao watched Shen Chen go out, pulled Lin Xi and asked, "Mother, what are we going to do today?" Will you stay in the inn all day? ”

"No, I'll see you later." Lam Creek Road.

Erbao asked, "Who?" ”

Lin Xi sighed: "You'll know soon." ”

Before the words fell, there was a knock on the door outside.

Lin Xi asked Erbao to continue to sit, and got up to open the door by himself.

Outside, it's not an inn guy, but a thin man in a strong suit, who looks like a practitioner and has an extraordinary momentum.

Lin Xi was vigilant: "Who are you?" ”

The man glanced at Lin Xi, didn't say much, and directly took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Lin Xi.

Lin Xihu took it suspiciously and opened it, his eyes changed slightly.

On the letter was Shen Chen's handwriting, which was obviously a letter written by Shen Chen to Yang Shizhong before they came.

This person was sent by Yang Shizhong.
