Chapter 43 Drawing a Topographic Map of Luyang County
Like last time, as soon as he appeared at the door, Bai Shao, who was keeping vigil, lit Chen Chaoyan's sleeping hole.
Xie Xuan's face looked tired, but his eyes were still calm. Pacing to the bed, looking at the sleeping Chen Chaoyan, he shook the paper in his hand, looked at the 'Yongxue' poem on it, and murmured: "One piece, two pieces, three or four pieces, five pieces, six pieces, seven or eight pieces, nine pieces, ten pieces, countless pieces, flying into the plum blossoms and not visible." ”
"She said an old friend wrote it?"
The clerk said yes.
Xie Xuan tilted his head to look at Chen Chaoyan, the exploration in his eyes was as deep as the sea, and before the master could figure it out, another old friend who could dance and write ink came out, and there were more and more mysteries on her. But for a moment, Xie Xuan gathered all his emotions again, continued to look at the 'Yongxue' poem for a while, handed the paper to Bai Shao, and he turned around and walked out.
The servant also hurriedly handed over the topographic map of Luyang County to Bai Shao, and then quickly caught up with Wen Mo and followed behind Xie Xuan.
Walking to the door, Xie Xuan stopped, pinched his forehead, and then looked back at Chen Chaoyan again.
He was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, but she slept so well!
Wen Mo also followed him to look at Chen Chaoyan twice, and said distressedly: "It's already five watches, son, go back and rest, if there is anything, it's the same to leave it for tomorrow." ”
The waiter nodded in agreement.
"Let's go." Xie Xuan was indeed a little tired, and Ling Quan only brought back the fingerprints of everyone in the Silver Hook Cabinet Workshop, Shi Zhi ...... disappeared, and when his sister Shi Jiaoer was found, she had hanged herself for a long time. Chonglou also collected the fingerprints of all the people in the county guard mansion, but without Chen Chaoyan's 'eyesight', Xie Xuan did not compare more than he could, and he did not make any name for it.
In the North Prison, Meng Baishan and Lord Zhou were still arguing.
Lingyou went to Jin'an County and has not returned.
Zhou Zhongcai's death seems to have been smeared with a layer of gray mist. Even if he pushed aside one layer, there was still the next layer, and Xie Xuan's eyes were unconsciously covered with a layer of haze. Stepping on the moonlight to return to Muyuan Hall, seeing Feng Shoudao guarding the door from a distance, Xie Xuan's footsteps paused for a moment, and then slowed down and walked over, "What's the matter?" ”
Feng Shoudao waved his hands respectfully and said, "Shi Zhi...... Got it. ”
Xie Xuan's eyes sharpened, "Dead?" ”
Feng Shoudao said ashamedly: "Yes." ”
Xie Xuan stepped into the Muyuan Hall and sat down on the chaise longue. Banxia and Ziling quickly made a pot of strong tea, poured a cup for him first, and then poured a cup for the trembling Feng Shoudao. After two sips of hot strong tea, the exhaustion seemed to dissipate. Putting the tea aside, Xie Xuan said, "Say, how did you die." ”
When he woke up in the morning, he was about to watch the scene of Zhou Zhongcai's killing again through the light screen, when he suddenly heard Yuejian say that the Shi brothers and sisters were dead, and Chen Chaoyan also asked, "How did you die?" ”
While changing the dressing for her, Yuejian said: "Listening to Ling's lobby, Shi Zhi's sister hanged herself, and Shi Zhi fell into the latrine and drowned. ”
Fell into the latrine and drowned...... Chen Chaoyan took two deep breaths and asked as calmly as possible, "How did you fall into the toilet?" ”
"Listening to Ling's lobbying, Shi Zhi went to the gambling house yesterday after having lunch at the seventeenth house in the south of Changliu Street, where the shopkeeper Fang lived for his sister. After losing in the gambling house, he said that he was going to the toilet to change his luck, and then disappeared. Tsukimi endured his nausea and said, "The people who participated in the gambling together thought that he had stolen away, and they didn't care. Last night, when Lingquan took the account office surnamed Jiang to Changliu Street to find Shi Zhi at the behest of his son, he found that his sister had hanged herself, and he had lost his trace. ”
Lingquan followed the clues to find the person who participated in the gambling with him, but after failing to find him, he left Lord Feng to continue looking, and he came back with his fingerprints first. He came back for about half an hour, and Lord Feng also came back, and said that he had fallen into the toilet and drowned. ”
"Uncle Sun has seen it all?" Chen Chaoyan asked.
Tsukimi nodded, "I've seen it all, and according to the method you used to dissect the corpse yesterday, I've also dissected it." It was determined that Shi Zhi's sister had hanged herself, and it was also determined that Shi Zhi had fallen into the toilet and drowned. ”
"One hanged himself, the other fell and drowned, how could there be such a coincidence." After changing the medicine, washing and dressing up, when the moon saw that the maidservant girl was sent to deliver food, Chen Chaoyan said, "Go to Muyuan Hall first." ”
After the moon saw the maid to continue preparing the meal, he stopped and said, "The son only fell asleep when it was almost dawn, and he hasn't gotten up yet." ”
Chen Chaoyan glanced at the sunshine outside and said casually: "There is such a big case, he is not in a hurry at all." ”
"Childe, why isn't he in a hurry?" Yue Jianming said unevenly, "Childe stayed up late, and it wasn't all for Miss Chen. ”
Chen Chaoyan looked at her inexplicably: "For me?" ”
"Of course, it's to draw a topographical map of Luyang County for you." Tsukimi said dissatisfiedly, "The topographic map of Luyang County kept by the county guard is not complete, and the complete topographic map of Luyang County is only available in Changsha County, the nearest governor. But Changsha County is back and forth from Luyang County, and it takes four or five days even if it is a fast horse. Gongzi took pity on your injuries before he recovered, so he checked the county records overnight to fill in the gaps and complete the topographic map of Luyang County. ”
"The prince has never been so attentive to the emperor."
"You're still talking about Childe!"
Chen Chaoyan was very knowledgeable and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I didn't know that he was busy so late to draw a topographic map of Luyang County for me." ”
"It's not all about drawing a topographic map of Luyang County for you." Yuejian snorted twice, and after accepting her apology, he continued, "Childe finished making up the topographic map of Luyang County and rested for a while, and Lingquan came back." Not long after finishing the incident of Shi Zhi's sister hanging herself with Gongzi, Lord Feng also came back and replied that Shi Zhi had fallen into the toilet and drowned. Childe also said the same as you said, I didn't believe that there would be such a coincidence, so he personally took Uncle Sun to Changliu Street and the gambling house, and asked Uncle Sun to check the bodies of the Shi brothers and sisters according to the method you dissected yesterday. ”
"When I come back from work, it'll be almost dawn."
Chen Chaoyan was surprised by Xie Xuan's action, and after saying, 'Your son has worked hard', he said: "Next time you encounter such a situation, call me up." ”
"Childe won't let me." Yuemi glanced at her knees, "Childe said that your legs have been tossed back and forth several times, and if you continue to toss, you will have scars in the future, and the scars will become ugly." Childe hates ugly things the most. ”
She's not ......
Well frogs can't talk to the sea, and they are confined to nothingness; Summer insects can't talk to the ice, but to the time; Qushi should not speak to the Taoist, and be bound to the teaching.
Never mind.
Chen Chaoyan endured the argument in his mouth, and changed the topic: "After Uncle Sun dissected the corpse, didn't he find any abnormality?" ”
Yue saw the bookcase in the southeast corner, took the stack of papers that was resting on it, and handed it to her: "It's all here, you can see for yourself." ”
Chen Chaoyan took it and looked at it casually. The corpse table of the Shi siblings and the silver hook cabinet shop, the fingerprints of all the people in the county guard's mansion, and the topographic map of Luyang County are all here. Put the fingerprints and topographic map aside first, hold the corpse table alone, and ask while looking at it: "Lingyou came back from Jin'an County?" ”
Yue saw that it should be, and said: "He was ordered by his son to go to Jin'an County, and he only came back when it was almost dawn." ”
After Chen Chaoyan said a hard thing as usual, he asked, "Did you find anything?" ”
Yuejian shook his head, "Mrs. Zhou's father and younger brother are both honest and responsible people. The more than 100 acres of fertile land, according to Mrs. Zhou's father, was forcibly registered in the name of Mrs. Zhou's younger brother, saying that it was to let them have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. The title deed and the deeds of the hard work are all in the hands of Mrs. Zhou's father, and Ling You has seen it, and there is no problem. ”
After a pause, she seemed to remember, and then said: "Mrs. Zhou did not send someone to Jin'an County to inform Zhou Zhongcai of the accident. Mrs. Zhou's father and mother didn't know about Zhou Zhongcai's accident, it was after Ling You inquired about those fertile fields when he inquired about those fertile fields, and they didn't want to say anything, they found out about it, and they came to Luyang County with Ling You. ”
I have no intention of leaking my mouth...... Whether it was unintentional to say that she was leaking, or did it intentionally, she rushed to Luyang County with Mrs. Zhou's father and mother, hoping to 'leak' more clues, Chen Chaoyan didn't pierce it, and she didn't answer the words of the moon again, her attention was all focused on the corpse table.
