The room was neatly tidy, and on the old table of the Eight Immortals beside the bed was a rattle that had faded a little.

Ding Yang hung on the beams of the house, his toes pointed to the ground, the whole person looked eerily calm, and under him, there was a square stool upside down, and on the surface of the stool, you could still see wet footprints with dirt.

Gu Shiwei didn't put the person down, she sighed lightly and looked towards the door.

Ding Yang's mother's eyes were extremely blank, and the flattering smile froze on her face, making her look a little dazed.

Her lips trembled slightly, her ears moved, but she didn't hear Ding Yang's familiar voice, and she began to become anxious, "Yang Zi, get up quickly!" Master Gu is looking for you...... Yes, is something going on? ”

Gu Shiwei was thinking about how to answer, when he heard a sound of footsteps in the courtyard.

She took a sideways step, walked to the door and looked out, but saw Zhang Yan leading a few soldiers of the Imperial City Division and walking in quickly.

Seeing Gu Shiwei, Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Ding Yang's mother standing at the door, "Auntie, it's me, Zhang Yan." Yang Zi has official business, see if you can go to the kitchen to cook a bowl of red date soup for the brothers. ”

"Everyone has heard Yang Zi say it more than once, and it's rare that Master Gu is here today. At this point, I'm afraid it's useless to eat! ”

Ding Yang's mother seemed to have found the backbone of the heart all of a sudden, and nodded busily.

Zhang Yan gave one of the soldiers a look and motioned for him to help Ding Yang's mother go to the kitchen, and then saluted Gu Shiwei.

Then he looked into the room, his pupils narrowed, and his hands tightened.

"It should have been hanged, and the specifics must be confirmed by doing something."

Gu Shen glanced at the back of Ding Yang's mother, and turned to look at Ding Yang's corpse, "The face is pale, the mouth is cyanotic, and although the tongue is not prominent, not all people who hang themselves will be like this." ”

"He's pointing to the ground on his toes, and his body is relaxed, which is the result of a desire to die. And there were no signs of a fight in the house, and there were no defensive scars on his body, and I had seen the cracks between his fingernails, and they were clean, and there was no dander in them. ”

"When Han Yushi and I arrived here, the doors and windows were closed, and the whole room was like a secret room. There's a new sword mark on the deadbolt that I just left to get in. ”

Gu Shiwei said, his eyes fell on the bed that was as flat as a tabletop and no one had ever been lying on at all.

At the edge of the bed lay a set of folded shirts, which were stained with blood.

Ding Yang didn't say anything, but he said everything again.

"Did Li Sansi ask you to come?"

Zhang Yan listened to Gu Shiwei's words, glanced at Han Shiyan, who was a wallflower next to him, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

"Yes. Your Excellency, you asked me to wait last night to wait for the Imperial City Division to be on standby, and soon after, Lord Li asked each of us individually. After the questioning, let us go back. Early this morning, Ding Yang did not come. ”

So I brought a few of my brothers over to see if he was in trouble......

Zhang Yan said, his eyes were red, he and Ding Yang have known each other for many years, and they have been on many missions together, not to mention what kind of friends they are between life and death, they can be regarded as close friends.

He is not stupid, Guan Zhengqing died in Luyi Building yesterday, Li Sansi, who is in charge of internal supervision, interrogated the eight of them overnight, and Ding Yang hanged himself in this stall, which is definitely a big deal.

Zhang Yan looked at Ding Yang's corpse on the beam of the house, and his heart was uneasy.

Han Shiyan is a royal history and is not on good terms with their Imperial City Division. Although Gu Shiwei has entered the Imperial City Division, she is a woman, even if Zhang Chunting values her very much now, but her future is unclear.

In this case, it is necessary to lose too much talk.

It was indeed Li Sansi who asked them to come, and he asked a few people to collect Ding Yang's body.

But he didn't dare to say much, the king of Hades fought and the little ghost suffered, and Ding Yang of the Imperial City Division killed the world-famous imperial historian Guan Zhengqing, and he could almost foresee what kind of bloody storm would be set off.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no way out, Zhang Yan would just want to roll up the cover and go back to his hometown now!

Gu Shiwei was speechless, and looked at Zhang Yan's expression seriously.

Her eyebrows moved slightly, gave Han Shiyan a look, and went straight out of the room to the kitchen.

The kitchen is a side house, the wall is blackened by firewood, Ding's mother sits quietly in front of the stove alone, holding the burning stick and not moving, the water in the pot is already boiling, and the red dates are tumbling and tumbling one by one.

Hearing the footsteps behind her, she hurriedly wiped her eyes with the corner of her clothes and turned her head, "Master Gu, Yang Zi has an accident, right......?"

Gu Shiwei took a few small pieces, sat down next to her, and said softly, "Ding Yang is a filial son, and he should have made arrangements for you in advance." ”

Ding's mother covered her mouth and cried when she heard this.

She whimpered a few times, and said with red eyes, "He said that he would go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors during the Qingming Festival, and someone from the clan came to Bianjing in two days, so I asked them to go back to repair the old house first, and when the matter at hand was over, he resigned and accompanied me back to my hometown." ”

"That's what you said the night you came back from Suzhou, and he gave me a wooden box for me to put away."

Ding Mu stood up tremblingly as she spoke, she grabbed Gu Shiwei's hand, like a drowning person grabbing a piece of driftwood, "Although there are many people who scold the Imperial City Division for being vicious, our Yang Zi is really a good boy." ”

As she spoke, she walked a few steps in the stove room, rummaged through the rice jar again, found a wooden box from it, and handed it to Gu Shiwei.

Gu Shiwei held the thing in her hand, feeling heavy in her heart, she opened it and saw that there were not many things inside. There are a few small denominations and a few pieces of broken silver, which should be Ding Yang's savings over the years.

In line with his identity as a pawn of the Imperial City Division, the money did not come out more.

In addition to this, there is also an earring.

The earrings were made of gold and emerald and looked like a willow branch.

Gu Shiwei's eyes moved, and he lowered his voice, "Did Ding Yang say where these earrings came from?" ”

Ding Mu shook her head, "I haven't opened it, if this thing is very important, you can take it." ”

Gu Shiwei hummed softly, groped in his sleeve pocket, took out a piece of silver, put it into the wooden box quietly, and returned it to Ding's mother. She held the earrings tightly in her palms and walked to the door with Han Shiyan.

"When Wu Jiang comes, let's go again."

Han Shiyan nodded, beckoned an idle man to Kaifeng Mansion to report the case, and then stood in a corner of the courtyard with Gu Shiwei.

The courtyard was quiet, and only occasionally could you hear the suppressed sobs of Ding Yang's mother.

Gu Shiwei was a little annoyed in her heart, she didn't turn her head to look at Han Shiyan on the side, since he came in and found that Ding Yang was dead, he had not said anything.

She thought about it and whispered softly, "I will find it, the murderer who really killed Guan Yushi." ”

Although Ding Yang was the perpetrator, he was just a knife in the hands of some people, and what they needed to find was the person who used the knife.
