Glancing at the wooden box, he wondered, "This is?" ”

Qu Zaichen: "Open it and see for yourself." ”

Congxi stretched out his hand to lift the lid of the box, a complete jade screen lay quietly at the bottom of the box, and Congxi looked at Qu Zaichen in surprise: "Give it to me, why?" ”

Qu Zaichen said lightly: "Lest you faint your mother again, and lest you be sleepless late at night and disturb my dreams." ”

Congxi's eyes flashed again, looked at Qu Zaichen and said: "Qu Ergongzi's filial piety touches the heavens and the earth, which is admirable, in order to fulfill your sincere filial piety, I will accept this screen unceremoniously." Also, I will never do anything to disturb your dreams in the future, if you have insomnia, I will go to Grandpa He to help you get tranquilizers... ”

Qu Zaichen glanced at Yun Xian and interrupted lightly: "Sister-in-law Yu saw you coming back, and she has delivered the food to your room, and I am afraid that it will be cold for a while." ”

Cong Xi Huanyan did not retreat: "Oh, I haven't eaten for most of the day, and when it comes to food, I'm really hungry." Congxi turned his head to look at Yun Xian: "I'll go back first, put the screen here for you, and remember to bring it to the dart game tomorrow." ”

Yun Xian smiled and nodded, and then stood up, walked briskly, and left happily.

Yun Xian looked playful, stared at Qu Zaichen and joked: "The food was delivered in a timely manner, when did the second son of Qu learn to be considerate and care about others, you are empathetic and don't fall in love, you want to abandon this son, this son is really sad..."

Qu Zaichen ignored Yun Xian, turned around and paced away.

In the early morning of the next day, Congxi, Qu Zaichen, Yun Xian, Lan Chu, Congran, and Luo Yi had just sat down for breakfast, Qu Zaifan hurriedly walked into the dining room with Yu Zhuo, and without waiting for everyone to ask, Qu Zaifan asked first: "Zaichen, this morning the government received a report, and another person died in the Lu family." Lord Jian wants to recuperate from his injuries, Lord Prefect asked me to investigate the case, you inquired in the Lu Mansion for a day yesterday, you should be familiar with the affairs of the Lu family, you will go to the Lu family with me today, right? ”

Everyone was surprised, and Qu Zaichen said, "Who is the deceased?" ”

Qu Zaifan: "Yan Lin, it is said that he was stabbed to death by his own saber, and the Lu family said that Yan Lin died in Lu Suyun's mourning hall, as if he was martyred for Lu Suyun, and I have asked Liang to rush to the autopsy first." ”

Qu Zaichen nodded and said, "Okay, let's go now." ”

Yun Xian said: "Interesting, I'll go too." ”

Congxi said: "I'll go too, Sister Lan, don't go today, take care of your injuries at home, and let Congran accompany you at home." ”

Lan Chu hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Qu Zaifan, Qu Zaichen, Yun Xian, Congxi, and Yu Zhuo got into the carriage together, and Luo Yi and Qu Zaifan sat side by side outside the car and drove to Lu's house.

Yun Xian hugged the wooden box with a jade screen and said with a wicked smile: "Starting from Yu Zhenzhen, one person died in one night, and Governor Xu couldn't sit still, right?" ”

Qu Zaifan sighed and said: "Yes, if one more person dies tonight, the prefect may be able to conduct an autopsy in person." What did you find? ”

Congxi looked at Yu Zhuo: "Yu Zhuo, did you and Cang Ze find out yesterday, who went to Jin Hui's house the night before?" ”

Yu Zhuo shook his head and said: "No, the murderer should have quietly entered Jin Hui's house while there was no one on the street late at night, but the neighbors on the left and right said that they didn't hear a knock on the door of Jin Hui's house at night, and they didn't find any climbing marks on the courtyard wall, so we think that the murderer either knows martial arts and leaps into the courtyard with light skills, or Jin Hui didn't lock the door in order to wait for the murderer, and the murderer came to Jin Hui's door and pushed the door directly into Jin Hui's house." ”

Cong Ning frowned and said: "If this is the case, it will be difficult for Jin Hui to investigate here." What about Yu Zhenzhen's side, did Luo Yi find anything? "Looking from Xi to Qu Zaichen.

Qu Zaichen shook his head slightly: "No, Yu Zhenzhen went from Chang's house to Mingxiangzhai, and then from Mingxiangzhai to Chang's house, along the way, someone saw her, she didn't make any stops on the way, and no one saw her talk to other people, when she was shopping for rouge in Mingxiangzhai, there were also women around her, I didn't see her answer to any man, and I didn't find anything abnormal." ”

Congxi frowned: "How come?" According to our previous speculation, she should have met the child's biological father on the way to buy rouge? ”

Qu Zaifan: "Maybe you guessed wrong, Chang An is the real murderer." ”

Congxi pondered: "The previous speculation was inferred based on Yu Zhenzhen's heart, words and deeds before she was killed, as well as the evidence found, not a guess out of thin air, it should be right?"

Qu Zaichen said: "It's not necessarily that we were wrong, or Yu Zhenzhen only said a word or two to the child's father on the way to buy rouge, and didn't talk much, and then separated, and others didn't notice it, and Luo Yi couldn't find out the identity of that person by himself." ”

Congxi pondered: "If this is the case, it will not be easy to find that person, it seems that we have to think of other ways." ”

Qu Zaichen: "I have asked Luo Yi to send someone to track down Yu Zhenzhen's whereabouts five months ago, and I may be able to find him." ”

Congxi nodded: "I hope to find some clues, otherwise, Chang'an will be in danger." Oh, by the way, what happened to those horses of the Lu family yesterday, because they were frightened by firecrackers? Could it be that in order to prevent us from investigating the case, someone wants to use the horse to murder us? ”

Qu Zaichen: "The horses were brought by those dart masters, there were two six or seven-year-old children who were stubborn, lit a string of firecrackers, and threw them into the stable, only to startle the horses, that children are the two children of the servants of the Lu family, I asked Luo Yi to investigate, and found nothing suspicious, yesterday's incident should be just an accident." ”

Congxi: "Oh, yesterday Liang Cheng inspected Lu Suyun's body, and he said what the cause of Lu Suyun's death was, do you know?" ”

Qu Zaichen: "The frontal bone was shattered and died." ”

Congxi pondered: "Broken frontal bone? In other words, did Lu Suyun really crash into the rockery and break his skull and die? The wooden beads on the ground, the bloodstains on the rockery, and the fact that there were no outsiders present at the scene, and Liang Cheng made the autopsy results, the government can conclude that Lu Suyun died unexpectedly, right? But what happened to the black shadow that Feng Ning saw, was it really Feng Ning's dazzle? ”

Yun Xian: "Lu Suyun was pushed hard from behind and crashed into the rockery next to him, and it looked like he accidentally slipped and lost his life." Maybe Miss Fengning was not mistaken, that black shadow was the one who overthrew Lu Suyun. And although Yan Lin was sad yesterday, he didn't see that he had the idea of committing suicide, and he should not commit suicide. Maybe. Yan Lin's death is also related to that black shadow, Yan Lin may have sensed something and was killed by that black shadow? ”

Qu Zaichen nodded: "It's possible, go to the Lu Mansion to investigate and find out more clues." ”

Congxi, Qu Zaichen, Qu Zaifan, and Yun Xian arrived at the Lu family, and walked directly into the Lu family's spiritual hall, and saw at a glance that Yan Lin's corpse was lying sideways next to Lu Suyun's coffin, and Yan Lin had a knife in his front abdomen. Liang Chengzuo was inspecting Yan Lin's corpse, and everyone looked around, and the mourning hall was neatly organized, without any traces of fighting, and no abnormalities were found. Liang Chengzuo stood up and saluted Qu Zaifan: "Lord Qu, according to the humble examination, the deceased was killed here, the time of death was about the time of the child, the deceased was killed by a knife in the abdomen, the knife edge was deep and sloping down, from bottom to top, flat and obliquely inserted, in line with the characteristics of holding a knife with both hands and stabbing himself in the abdomen, there were no other new injuries on the deceased's body, the left hand was soaked with blood, and only the thumb of the right hand was stained with blood. ”

Qu Zaichen heard it, walked to Yan Lin's side, squatted down and carefully checked Yan Lin's hands, Qu Zaifan said, "What did you find?" ”

Qu Zaichen shook his head: "It's not sure yet, there are no traces of a fight here, Yan Lin is not weak, if he doesn't commit suicide, the person who killed him will either have too many martial arts above him, and Yan Lin will be knocked unconscious or killed directly by the other party before he has time to fight back." Either Yan Lin was familiar with the person who would kill him, Yan Lin was unprepared, so he didn't have time to fight back. Let's go to the dart master first. ”

Yun Xian said: "It's okay, this box is not light, by the way, why do I keep holding it, Luo Yi, come here, it's your turn." Yun Xian threw the box to Luo Yi.

Qu Zaichen, Qu Zaifan, Congxi, Yun Xian, Luo Yi, and Meng Xuan just walked into the courtyard where the dart master lived, and the middle-aged man he saw yesterday walked out of the house with two dart masters, and the middle-aged man bowed and said respectfully: "I've seen Yun Gongzi, I've seen Qu Ergongzi, I've seen the second young lady, I was clumsy yesterday, I don't know the true face of Mount Tai, and I'm disrespectful." ”

Yun Xian said leisurely: "You are not clumsy, yesterday it was a few of us, and today it is still, we haven't been reborn into immortals, let's just sit outside and talk, Liangtang." Yun Xian saw a stone table in the courtyard, and several stone benches were placed around it.

The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, a few please, Wang Li, hurry up and make tea." ”

Qu Zaifan, Qu Zaichen, Congxi, and Yun Xian sat down at the stone table, Luo Yi put the wooden box on the table, Yun Xian reached out and lifted the lid of the box, looked at the middle-aged man and said, "This is for you, inspect the goods, right?" ”

The middle-aged man stared at the jade screen for a while, was stunned for a moment, looked up and glanced at Yun Xian and the others did not dare to move.

Yun Xian said lightly: "This is what Master Jian paid you yesterday, didn't you be arrogant and arrogant yesterday, and asked others to compensate you for the jade screen?" Our Lord Jane did what he said, take a closer look, is this jade screen the same as your original one? ”

The middle-aged man showed a hint of shame: "Actually. I know Jane wasn't all blamed yesterday.."

Yun Xian interrupted: "The jade screen has been found for you, there is no need to say more about other useless words, if you can, you and your dart master brothers will try to dare to act in the future." ”

The middle-aged man was even more ashamed, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, thank you Yun Gongzi, thank you." ”

Yun Xian glanced at Qu Zaifan and said: "This is Master Jinzhou Tongzhiqu, the death of Yan Lin, I have a few questions I want to ask you, and I ask my brother to answer truthfully." ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly raised his hand and bowed and said, "Villain Chen Fei, I've seen Master Qu." ”

Qu Zaifan nodded and said, "Chen Fei, are you the head of the ticket bureau?" ”

Yan Lin nodded: "Yes." ”

Qu Zaifan: "Yan Lin is the deputy head of the dart bureau, you should be very familiar with him, right?"

Chen Fei nodded again: "Yes, the elders in our family are also from the dart game, I have known Yan Lin since childhood, and we have also walked darts together many times, so we are relatively familiar with each other." ”

Qu Zaifan: "With his temperament, do you think he will be martyred?" ”

Chen Fei blurted out: "No, even if he wants to be martyred, he won't die now." ”
