On the way back, the snow has not cleared, and the snow is walking, leaving footprints every step of the way.

Lu Anran didn't speak for a while, until Yunqi broke the silence and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Standing not far from Village Chief Yin's house, Lu Anran looked up, his voice spread out in the cool breeze, dyed with a hint of coldness, "Widow Wang and Wei, who is telling lies." ”

Yunqi held the fan and stood with his hands in his hands, the sound of pine waves blown by the wind, the clouds came and went, all of them became his eyebrows and style, he smiled lightly, all kinds of romantic charm, and the understatement tone was full of the uninhibited frivolity of the game world, "Half-truths and half-falsehoods, sometimes and sometimes." ”

Lu Anran didn't make this person stunned in the world, and his vocal cords hesitated: "We have been speculating about how Yin Tianxiang died outside, how did the murderer bring back such a heavy wooden barrel with the corpse, and when I saw that thing just now, I suddenly had an idea in my heart." ”

Yunqi flicked the fan pendant and said casually: "Oh? ”

Lu Anran: "On the day Yin Tianxiang died, you told me that in addition to the fact that there was a lot of water in his room, there was also a little more. ”

Yun Qi looked at the sky, tapped his back with the handle of the fan, and recalled: "The second son of the Yin family seems to be very afraid of the cold, and there are a lot of charcoal basins in the house? ”

"Yes." Lu Anran turned around abruptly and looked at Yunqi, "Even if the room is ten times bigger, there is not so much charcoal basin, not to mention that if it is lit together, how can you still stay in the smoke-smoked house." ”

Yun Qi's eyes rolled slightly: "You mean, just like the ice plate that Widow Wang used for her child to play with?" ”

Lu Anran's eyes lit up with a bright light, faintly revealing a bit of eagerness and joy, "If you water it to make an ice panel, and then pour a few rollers with snow water under the bath barrel, it won't take long for such a cold weather, right?" In this way, no matter how heavy the tub is, it can be pushed. When the charcoal basin in the room is burned, the corpse will be destroyed and there will be no trace. ”

The more I thought about it, the more I became more emotional, "That's why there was so much more water in the room, not from the tub, but from the ice under the melt." ”

"There's some truth to what you're saying, but there's a problem." Yunqi had never seen Lu Anran, who had never been calm and self-controlled, so excited, he couldn't help but feel a little fun, and couldn't help but want to hit it, "It's not a small move like this, how can you avoid the eyes and ears of the Yin family, or according to the original speculation, the murderer is the Wei family." ”

Lu Anran calmed his mind slightly, "When Su Su and Old Lady Yin died, the Wei family looked frightened, but there was no panic. ”

Yun Qi spread his hands: "You have a conflict with yourself." ”

Lu Anran rubbed the Kunlun nephrite jade with the palms of his hands, and the warmth was ironed to his limbs a little bit, and his tone had returned to calm, and said: "Wei's words are unknown, the widow Wang is divided, what are the two of them hiding." ”

Yun raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "In a small village, there are many ghosts hidden in my heart, and strange things are constant. After speaking, the words changed, and there was a bit of mystery in the ridicule, "First there is a mountain rock collapse, and then there is a bridge cable breaking, just like a shallow trapped dragon, called every day, what kind of god did you say this Yinjia Village offended." ”

The two were talking, and a loud voice next to them suddenly interjected/came in, "Yo, no wonder the magpie called all the way, I didn't think that I met Yun Gongzi and Miss Lu halfway, aren't the two nobles the cloud Gao Yang, the bright moon in the sea, the high branches, the big golden phoenix, I met it, but I also have to get some blessings from the two." ”

It is said that nine and a half out of ten sentences in the matchmaker's mouth do not need to be heard, and there are half sentences, I am afraid that only the surname is true. But the matchmaker said that this man had a small defect in his legs and feet, and when he saw it, he found that he had no legs, and then the matchmaker said that the girl's eyes were not clear, and she turned out to be blind.

So Sister-in-law Tian roared so exaggeratedly, and Yunqi and Lu Anran still greeted each other with a smile out of politeness.

"The relationship between the little couple is really good, standing in one place is like what fish and water are said in the ancient texts, and there are dumplings thrown into the stream." Sister-in-law Tian looked at the two of them kindly, and nodded with satisfaction from time to time, as if she had a sense of accomplishment that she had matched.

Yunqi used a fan to point out the air and corrected: "The fish and water are deep, like glue and paint." ”

Sister-in-law Tian sighed, clapped her hands and said: "We countrymen are vulgar, but the son can speak, four words and four words jump out, listening to it is very profound, Miss Lu will be blessed in the future." ”

Lu Anran's eyebrows twitched: "We don't ......"

Yun Qi cut off the conversation and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law Tian is going to Village Chief Yin's house?" ”

"Alas......" Sister-in-law Tian sighed and pouted: "These things happened to the village chief's family, they are all from the same village, and they should also help each other.

However, the village chief has an idea, and he is now holding a mourning watch, saying that in a day or two the road to the village will be opened soon, and then someone from the yamen will rush over to make it clear. ”

Sister-in-law Tian grabbed the handkerchief and patted her body, glanced at the village chief's house, leaned over, and said in a low voice: "I'll tell you two the truth, everyone wants a way to live, each family has its own difficulties, the village chief doesn't want us people to help, I thought about asking him when he can get through, I went next door to sit down on the family matter, and it only took a day or two to go back and forth, and then the Yamen case was almost over, isn't this ...... Hey, it's on both ends. ”

Sister-in-law Tian is a straight person, she talks and does things in a hurry, and after saying a few words, she hurriedly ran in to find Village Chief Yin, leaving Yunqi and Lu Anran behind.

The wind and snow were blowing, and the white plums on the trees trembled slightly, blowing the brocade cloth covering Lu Anran's face, she raised her hand and rubbed her nose.

"Sister-in-law Tian is also a wonderful person." Yunqi Road.

Lu Anran thought that he had been misunderstood by Widow Wang and Sister-in-law Tian today, and the person in front of him was the culprit, so he couldn't help but say sarcastically: "It's not as brilliant as the son of the world." ”

But obviously Lu Anran misestimated Yunqi, not only did he accept it calmly, but he also held the fan and hugged his fists, and said with a reasonable face: "Be polite." ”

Lu Anran stepped into the threshold of the compound with one foot, remembered something, and reflexively returned the Kunlun nephrite in his hand to Yunqi.

Yun Qi twisted his fingers, and there was still a trace of warm fragrance on it, and he didn't care very much: "It's just a gadget." ”

Lu Anran smoothed his sleeves with his backhand, and said with a straight face: "Although the prince doesn't think anything, but you and I are not relatives, I really don't have a clear conscience to accept this gift, just now the prince borrowed me for use, it is already the kindness of the prince, I want to get an inch, but mine is not, it is inevitable to violate the Lu family's family education." ”

Yunqi snorted softly at the empty door, as if his teeth were sore, "I am not a person with many rules on weekdays, and the rules are worse than old pedantic." ”

—

Su Su and Mrs. Yin's body were moved to the Buddha hall together, the place where Mrs. Yin prayed most sincerely during her lifetime.

The Buddha fell, and three incense sticks were re-lit in the incense burner, but this time it was not to ask the Buddha to worship God, but to sacrifice to the dead.

Lu Anran stepped forward to put a stick of incense on the deceased, took a few steps back and looked at the little child, thinking of what Yunqi said to her not long ago.

"Guanyue went to check the place where Su Su had an accident, where people moved their hands and feet, looked at the solid ground, but in fact the inside was empty, filled with dead branches and grass and covered with snow, if a person stood on it, he would step on the air and slip and fall off the cliff."

"Although it has been restored afterwards, the moon can tell the traces of turning from the softness of the soil and the color."

Chunmiao squatted next to her and burned paper money, followed Lu Anran's gaze, recited Amitabha Buddha silently in her heart, and said: "Miss went out for a long time, and when she came back, she said that she wanted to worship the ancestors and grandchildren, not to mention that the village chief's family has no conscience, and I don't know what to think of Miss when I look back." ”

Lu Anran didn't speak, Chunmiao said to herself: "But this kid is also pitiful, she was very disgusted by the slave and maid who cheated and played tricks before, and now the person is suddenly gone, and the slave and maid are not very good in their hearts." Now burn more paper money for you, you took the money to bribe and bribe the judge of the Hades of the Prefecture, and devote yourself to a good baby in the next life. ”

After chattering like this for a long time, the paper money was burned, and Chunmiao patted off the crumbs and stood up, "Miss, let's go." ”

Lu Anran looked outside: "Wait a minute." ”

Chunmiao doesn't understand, does Miss still have to keep a vigil for others?

Just thinking about it, Village Chief Yin appeared at the door, looked inside, and unexpectedly saw two people, and said in an unkind tone: "Why are you here?" ”

Chunmiao rushed to Lu Anran, unconvinced: "Our young lady is kind......"

"Chunmi." Lu Anran called, Chun Miao stopped talking, and then she looked at Village Chief Yin, "I want to go to Yin Tianxiang's room again to have a look." ”

After Yin Tianxiang's accident, the room was locked by Village Chief Yin, who originally intended to wait for the people from the yamen to come and see, and locked it for so many days.

"Miss Lu!" Village Chief Yin stood at the door, shouted heavily with a gloomy face, and then said: "Since you are passers-by, I also accepted your money, it is not good to go back on your word, you can use it here, but any other affairs of Yinjia Village have nothing to do with Miss Lu." ”

Lu Anran's gaze was always calm, but there was a rare sharpness in his eyes, "Yin Tianxiang had suffered a heavy blow to his brain, so there was no trace of struggle when he died, and a little dirt and foreign body were found in his mouth and nose, indicating that he was suffocated by someone in the snow, not died in the room bathtub as we saw."

Besides, Mrs. Yin, she knelt in front of the Buddha statue every day and prayed to the Buddha, but the Buddha statue suddenly collapsed. However, I found that the original mechanism of the Buddha statue's base was artificially damaged, so the Buddha statue was unstable and could fall down with a gentle push.

And Susu, why did one of her children suddenly appear there in the middle of the night? We have checked, the cliff mouth has loosened the soil, it is obvious that someone did it deliberately, who would calculate a child to this point? ”

Village Chief Yin listened so much at once, as if he couldn't bear it, his body shook, he held on to the door frame and panted for a while, and his voice became hoarse in an instant: "What do you want to say?" ”

Lu Anran took a half step forward: "These are all well documented, does Village Chief Yin still think that ghosts are doing it in secret?" ”

Village Chief Yin didn't speak for a long time, hung his head, and his back was arched overnight, not as straight as before, and when he stabilized his breathing, he gritted his back molars and said: "The ghosts and gods will come to collect it one day, and the wicked will be judged by the yamen, so Miss Lu won't bother." ”

Lu Anran's eyes shone slightly, and his voice was clear and clear, as if he was pouring a basin of cold water on someone's head, "The murderer is well-planned and calculated, if he doesn't stop here, who does Village Chief Yin want to bet on who will die?" ”
