Lang Xiaobai said goodbye to Shi Bao and returned to the hotel, and then he wrote a letter to Yingzi. The letter was roughly as follows:

Dear Eiko,

I am glad to hear that your body has recovered, and my heart is very happy.

I read your letter several times, and I realized a kind of stupid malice from it, so I immediately set off from Dongzhou and rushed to Luojia Town early this morning, but I happened to encounter a case, which happened to be what you talked about in your letter, the old drunkard, his son Jiang Zhize and daughter-in-law Su Fengnan, and the bizarre relationship between the young man Jin Hao and the resulting case. Indeed, it was not too much different from what you thought, a very bizarre murder case occurred between the four of them, and Jiang Zhize, Su Fengnan and Jin Hao all disappeared at once. The security bureau speculated that Jin Hao killed Jiang Zhize with a gun and abandoned his body in the well, and then escaped with Su Fengnan, and now the security guards are arresting the two of them.

But is this really the case? They weren't so sure. Unexpectedly, I was also dragged into the case, but fortunately, with the consent of the security guards, I searched the scene, and I had just returned to the hotel.

I'm really eager to be reunited with you, but, in order to solve the mystery of this case, I've decided to stay here for the time being, so that I can better explore. I think it won't be long before this problem will be resolved, and I guess I will be able to meet you again in two or three days. Goodbye.

Lang Xiaobai

The letter was sent by hand, and since the address was from a neighboring village, it took only thirty minutes to arrive. Lang Xiaobai and the messenger walked out of the hotel one after another, and wandered around the nearby place. At this time, it was half past ten in the morning, and he walked forward at will, and subconsciously walked to the road leading to the village outside the town. The morning sun was very dim, and he hung his hands behind his back, his head bowed, his eyes fixed on the ground, and he meditated as he walked.

Back at the hotel, he hastily ate a lunch, and it was already twelve o'clock. Tired of his own sake, he lay down on the bed casually, and just as he was in the midst of a chaotic wandering, there was a knock at the door. Lang Xiaobai hurriedly got up from the bed, put on a piece of clothing and went to open the door.

"Please come in!"

He said as he opened the door. As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and Yingzi walked in.

"Ah, you're coming so fast!"

"As soon as I read your letter, I rushed here. However, there was still snow on the road, and the carriage was slippery. ”

"Why don't you take a car?"

"This is the countryside, how can there be a car? It's great to meet you, though. ”

"Me too!"

The two hugged each other. Yingzi's complexion has recovered as before, and her beauty has also recovered in her.

"Seeing you get healthy again, I don't have to worry about anything anymore."

"It's not like you're in love...... However, I am indeed very worried about Jin Hao and Su Fengnan. ”

"What's wrong with them?"

"You don't know? The two of them have been arrested!"

"Oh? What time? Where?"

"About an hour ago, at the station. They were about to board the express train when the security guards who were ambushed there arrested both of them. ”

"Hmm...... It was really Jin Hao who took Su Fengnan away in a carriage. Lang Xiaobai recalled the wheel prints in front of the manor.

"The security is doing their best to interrogate the two of them, and perhaps, security is now searching the house!"

"Search of dwellings?...... Isn't that the manor?"

"Yes, that's where Jin Hao lives."

The quaint and magnificent manor that he had seen with Shi Baoan in the morning immediately appeared in front of Lang Xiaobai.

"However, I think the two of them are innocent. Do you agree with me?"

"Yes, I think they're innocent, but that's not for sure. However, now the two of them are in a very disadvantageous position, this is certain. Jin Hao is seriously suspected of killing Jiang Zhize, and the evidence seems to be conclusive. ”

"The footprints on the snow, the buried pistol, and the fact that Jin Hao was going to take Su Fengnan away all made the evidence extremely sufficient. However, the real culprit often avoids leaving any evidence. Lang Xiaobai said with his arms crossed.

"Can't you help them?"

"That's exactly what I'm thinking about right now. It would be great to be able to talk to them face-to-face and hear what they are really like. However, the security post was conducting an interrogation and could not meet with them...... Probably the search of the house is over, right?"

"No, the manor has already been searched, but Jingyuan may not have finished the search! Because when I came here just now, I ran into the driver of the prosecutor, and he said that he would immediately take the two of them to Jingyuan to do a scene investigation. ”

"Really? It turned out that he was going to take the two of them to the scene to investigate! Oops, oh no!" Lang Xiaobai's eyes shone brightly.

"Yingzi, hurry up, we have to hide there before Shi Baoan and them reach Jingyuan."

"What are you doing?"

"We're going to hide in an unseen place, listen to what Shi Baoan asked about the two of them, see how they were interrogated, and then listen to how the two of them answered Shi Baoan's questions, as well as their tone and face when answering questions. Even the slightest gesture of the eye can be an important piece of information in some cases. It would be best if you could take this opportunity to know that the two of them are innocent and innocent. ”

Yingzi rushed to Jingyuan with Lang Xiaobai at Lang Xiaobai's urging. In order to prevent pedestrians from messing up the footprints, the security guards have specially blocked all the places where the footprints are printed and created a new road for pedestrians to walk.

Lang Xiaobai took Yingzi to secretly hide at the back door of Jingyuan. No one else was present in this place, and they climbed into the house through the kitchen window and went up the stairs reserved for servants. Hand in hand, the two of them deftly slipped into a small room that resembled an attic. The room was dark, with only a little light coming in through a small round window, through which the living room could be seen.

"This may be the place of interrogation."

Lang Xiaobai took out his seven tools, cut off part of the curtain of the small window, and made a hole in the glass

After about five or six minutes, the voices of five or six people came from the old well at the back of the house, and the two of them held their breath and bent over, peering down through the hole in the glass.

As the voice drew closer, five or six men walked into the living room, and in the middle was a beautiful young woman, with a fragile walk.

"Ah, isn't that person Mrs. Su Fengnan?"

Yingzi whispered, full of pity and sympathy for her.

Su Fengnan's body was weak, and he couldn't even stand steadily. Although she was very beautiful, her face was as pale as snow, and she was full of sorrow, and her eyes were wide open, as if she were gazing at something extremely terrible.
