Chen Anning had a cold light in his eyes: "How do you want to cooperate?" ”

"It's very simple," Xie Xun said bewildermently, "You follow me to investigate the case, and my connections are at your disposal." ”

Chen Anning was unmoved and said, "How long is the deadline?" ”

Xie Xun pondered for a moment and said, "Five years." ”

"Five years?" Chen Anning looked at him with a smile, turned around, and said as he walked, "If the slaughter of Yaowang Valley is related to the war between Wei and Jin, then the murderer is almost the people of these two countries. ”

"What kind of deep hatred can force the murderer to kill the Medicine King Valley regardless of the battle?"

Chen Anning stopped, looked at him again, and said word by word: "The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty!" ”

Without waiting for Xie Xun to answer, Chen Anning smiled and said again: "I accepted Lord Xie's suggestion, and it should be regarded as the reward for today's trip to Wuzhu Village." The hour is not early, Lord Xie should rest early. ”

Looking at her neatly departing back, Xie Xun laughed silently twice.

knew that she would not easily agree.

After walking a few steps briskly and catching up with her footsteps, Xie Xun spoke: "Isn't Miss Chen Er hungry?" ”

Chen Anning slowed down, "Drunken Immortal Building? ”

Xie Xun chuckled, "Drunken Immortal Building." ”

Chen Anning slowed down again, "Qingzhi Courtyard or Wuwu Courtyard?" ”

Xie Xun couldn't stop laughing, "Wuyuan." ”

Chen Anning immediately turned his feet and strode towards the Wuwu Courtyard.

The meal was already on the table.

Judging from the slowly rising mist of various hot dishes, it has not been long since they were put on the table.

Looking at Chen Anning's familiar action of sitting on the table and placing the dishes and chopsticks in front of him after washing his hands, Xie Xun smiled and said, "You're welcome." ”

Chen Anning didn't raise his head, "Why, it's been too long, and you've learned to be humble and wronged?" ”

Xie Xun sat down next to her, picked up the chopsticks, took the soup bowl handed by the maidservant, and hummed: "It is said that eating people is soft-mouthed, I thought that Miss Chen Er refused my invitation to cooperate, and I would always be a little embarrassed." ”

Chen Anning sneered, "I refused your invitation to cooperate, you are embarrassed to continue to live in the Chen family, why should I be embarrassed to eat this meal?" Besides, you don't need my help later? ”

Xie Xun gave her a bowl of soup with a toothache, "Hey, I was wrong, you eat quickly, go back and rest early when you are full." ”

Chen Anning glanced at him with a smile and didn't say much. After a simple meal, I went back to Qingzhi Courtyard to rest.

The moonlight was like a shy little girl, hiding in the thick clouds, looking around from time to time.

Finally, I was tired of looking, so I reluctantly went back to sleep.

As soon as it left, the heavens and the earth fell into darkness that could not be seen.

South of the city.

Boryeong Place.

The mournful sound of 'help' pierced through the darkness.

The sleeping neighbors heard the sound, wrapped themselves tightly in the quilt, and fell into a deep sleep again.

The red sun hides behind the clouds, only faintly revealing a little edge.

A guard who fell into the shadows when he entered Chen's house last night quietly appeared in the Wuyuan Courtyard, "My lord, something happened to Baoning Fang!" ”

Xie Xun opened his eyes, and a cold light appeared in his eyes, "Say!" ”

The guards quickly reported: "The news just came from Mu Jiao's side, someone died in a deserted house on East Second Street of Baoningfang!" In addition, from the onlookers, it was learned that this person had coaxed a teenager who went to work this morning, and the teenager's whereabouts are currently unknown! ”

As soon as the guard's voice fell, Xie Xun had already opened the door and came out. Glancing at the sky before dawn, he commanded in a cold voice: "Prepare the horses!" ”

The guards retreated.

Xie Xun glanced at Qingzhi Courtyard and paced over.

The maidservant who guarded the door of Qingzhi Courtyard did not dare to stop him.

Xie Xun walked straight to the door of the house as if he had entered a no-man's land, only to be stopped by Hexiang.

"Tell your young lady, there is a murder case in Boryeongfang, which is related to the case of a missing juvenile, please get up quickly and go together." Xie Xun commanded.

After He Xiang should be, he looked at him vigilantly and made sure that he had no intention of entering the house, so he turned around and went to the back room and relayed his words to Chen Anning, who had already opened his eyes.

Chen Anning sat up with his hands propped up, and under the service of Chunrui and Chuntao, he quickly put on yesterday's guard uniform, and hurriedly came out and asked, "When is it?" ”

The guards have already prepared their horses and are waiting outside the Qingzhi Courtyard.

Xie Xun motioned for her to walk and said, "Half an hour ago." ”

After Chen Anning turned over and got on the horse one step ahead of him, he asked, "Is the scene protected?" ”

Xie Xun nodded.

The two stopped talking and galloped all the way towards Boryeongfang.

Boryeong Fang is adjacent to Kaiming Fang.

Not a single cup of tea.

The two arrived at the scene of the crime.

When the two arrived, Lord Feng, the county commander of the Wannian County Ya, and the official had not yet arrived.

It was the guards secretly arranged by Xie Xun who maintained the scene.

Following Xie Xun and passing through the layers of lively people, Chen Anning walked into the center of the crime.

The center site is located in a derelict residential hall.

The roof is almost rotten.

The walls also collapsed more than half.

Weeds take root between the cracks in the ground and between the walls, and grow vigorously.

After Chen Anning quickly glanced at the environment of the center site, his eyes fell on the corpse ten steps away from the door.

The corpse's feet are facing outwards and its head is facing inwards.

Male.

Judging by the physiognomy, he was about forty-five to fifty years old.

He is about five feet tall and weighs about one hundred and thirty pounds.

There were five sharp wounds to the upper abdomen and three sharp wounds to the left chest.

The corpse spots are not yet noticeable, and the time of death is around two hours.

There were four lines of blood trails behind the body, two of which belonged to the deceased. Next to the blood footprints of the deceased, there are dripping blood stains. The other two lines of blood footprints are supposed to belong to the murderer, with shedding blood.

The murderer's bloody footprints paused next to the corpse, followed by rubbing against the nearby weeds.

After that, the murderer stepped on the weeds to the northwest corner of the hall, and after turning around in the northwest corner, he stepped on the weeds and left the house.

In the courtyard outside the house, the murderer's footprints can still be found.

The footprints disappeared ten inches within the guards' encirclement.

In their place, horses' hooves and wheels were replaced.

After carrying the lime and marking all the traces in the yard, Chen Anning raised his feet into the house and drew circles with lime as he walked.

Xie Xun followed behind her.

Following one circle after another, slowly come to the northwest corner of the hall.

"This is a splattered bloodstain," Xie Xun looked at the large scattered bloodstains on the wall and the ground, and said with a cold face, "The deceased was stabbed here, and when he fled, he fell at the door." ”

Chen Anning said 'um' and did not answer.

Her eyes were fixed on a weed against the wall.

After Xie Xun glanced around, he saw that she was still motionless, and couldn't help but follow her gaze and look at the weed.

The weeds are a bit big.

The weeds are nest-like in the middle.

Judging from the traces of weeds lodging or breaking, it is still fresh and proves that it has not been for a long time.

"What's wrong with this grass?" Xie Xun squatted in front of him and asked while studying.

Chen Anning also took two steps forward and squatted to his side, "Look at the shape of this grass lodging, what does it look like?" ”

Xie Xun studied it for a while, and then said uncertainly: "You have a nest?" ”

Chen Anning glanced at him, "It's not just like a nest, it's also like an old hen's nest for hatching eggs." ”

Xie Xun said solemnly: "Don't say it, look at it seriously, it's really exactly the same." ”

Seeing that Chen Anning was about to make a move, Xie Xun hurriedly begged for mercy: "You mean, that missing teenager used to sit in this position?" ”

Chen Anning got up, and after enclosing the grass with lime, he said lightly: "After the murderer chased the deceased to the door, he came back here. You look carefully at the grass that the murderer stepped on when he chased the deceased to the door, and then look at the grass that the murderer stepped on when he went out after he came back here, and see what the difference was? ”
