Ye Caitang was very able to understand Chu Shijing's mood.

Whoever has such a bloody case in his family will become a knot in his heart. So many people died inexplicably, and for some reason my younger brother was taken away for several days, more than ten years, and there is still a shadow in my heart.

"But what can I do with this case from so many years ago?" Ye Caitang said: "Chu Shixuan has seen me several times, and he hasn't brought back any memories of the past, so it can be seen that it is useless." ”

And Chu Shixuan was seven years old at the time, not to mention that he couldn't remember it now, even if he did, he might not be able to know too much about it, let alone clearly remember what the murderer looked like and who it was.

Xia Yue said: "The old case is really difficult. But Chu Shijing insisted, it's not all up to you, he hopes that the six doors can re-investigate the case, whether it is successful or not, it is also a knot in his heart. ”

Ye Caitang was very keen, and he heard something from it.

"My lord, did Chu Shijing promise you any benefits?"

Xia Yue smiled: "You are quite keen, can't I be for the sake of justice and justice in the world?" ”

"It's not a contradiction." Ye Caitang said of course: "There are so many unsolved cases, which one is not solved, of course, you have to choose the cost-effective one." ”

"Value for money?" Xia Yue repeated it and said with a smile: "You're right, it's really cost-effective." Just like you. ”

Two taels of silver a month, especially valuable.

Ye Caitang sighed, feeling that Xia Yue couldn't speak, so he didn't have to say it.

But she can't raise an objection, otherwise she will fall into an endless cycle of whether I am something or not, which is an unsolvable question.

The bloody case in the Chu family's courtyard was a big case that shocked the capital, and the file was quickly transferred out.

Although there is a lot of chatter in the file, most of it is how to investigate and deal with the case after it happens.

For the case itself, not much is recorded.

And they all sat in their studies, reading the dossier.

It was an inexplicable killing.

The Chu family is relatively peaceful in the court, at least there is no sharp enemy on the surface, besides, Chu Shixuan was young at the time, he had an elder brother, although he was a sister-in-law and not a single seedling, even if something happened to him, he would not bring a blow to the Chu family.

Not to mention the others, they are all ordinary maids.

The annex is used for weekday vacations, and there is no gold and silver money in it, not to mention that after the incident, the annex has not been looted and looted.

Neither for revenge nor for money, but as soon as he came up, he killed the people in the courtyard, and then disappeared without a trace.

"The deceased are all maids who don't know martial arts, scattered all over the place, basically killed with one knife, and some made up for it while escaping."

"Simple, not a massacre for what." Ye Caitang said slowly: "If it's for something, it's easy to do." ”

For what, there is a goal to track.

No, after the killing, it was broken into pieces, and the murder weapon was lost as soon as the clothes were changed, even if it was standing at the door of the yamen, who could know.

Xia Yue frowned and said, "Impossible." If you want to say manslaughter, there were more than a dozen people in the courtyard at the time, and there was no reason, killing people? ”

Ye Caitang said in her heart, I have really seen a case of murder, but she didn't say it.

The motive for the murder was set as a play at the beginning, which was not conducive to later investigation.

Liu Sha flipped through the file in a hurry: "But I didn't find out why I searched for it back then, and now after so many years, how should I start this case?" ”

Without motivation, there is no direction.

Everyone looked at Xia Yue together, but unfortunately, Xia Yue couldn't give them any hints.

"It's late tonight, everyone rest first." Xia Yue said: "Tomorrow we will go to the scene of the crime." ”

After the murder in the Chu family's courtyard, the place was sealed off. Later, the case really couldn't be found, but no one went to the other courtyard again, so it was always empty.

Thirteen years have passed, and an abandoned house should have been dusty, overgrown with weeds, and a house that has not been repaired may be crumbling, and no one knows whether it can find clues about the past.

But this one has to be taken.

Xia Yue asked someone to find Chu Shijing and asked for a specific address and key, and Chu Shijing not only sent the key, but also directly sent someone to lead the way.

But he was not involved.

He told Xia Yue that I had paid too much in this case, and I was always afraid that I would end up in a dead end. Please Lord Xia re-examine this case, which is also what it means, a different person, maybe a different way of thinking, or there are some details that I haven't noticed, you can notice.

"Chu Shijing is right to be worried." Ye Caitang said: "People's thinking sometimes really leads to a dead end, and in cases, we usually let people with relatives avoid it, and there are also reasons for this." ”

Blinded by hatred, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to ignore.

Then Xia Yue looked at Ye Caitang very strangely.

"What's wrong?" Ye Caitang was inexplicable: "Am I not right?" ”

I didn't know what Xia Yue wanted to say, but he still nodded.

"You're right."

I was right.

Ye Caitang patted his pony: "Biscuits, drive ......"

The pony is already very familiar with Ye Caitang, and Ye Caitang officially gave the name Biscuit.

No one knows what the cookie means, or what the name means.

Ye Caitang shrugged his shoulders and refused to explain.

My biscuits, my horse, I name my house.

Sugar and biscuits, what a good partner.

Biscuit Kick Tap, although it is still a little small, although it is still a little young, but it has begun to show its handsomeness, but this owner is a little unworthy.

The courtyard of the Chu family is not big, this kind of courtyard in the suburbs of the capital, where large families occasionally come to live for a small stay, is not big, but it is very exquisite.

After getting off the road, Ye Caitang looked at it and raised his doubts.

"My lord, when we went to the Red Leaves Courtyard before, did we take this road?"

She is not road blind, but this era is too desolate, and when she goes out of the capital to the suburbs, she looks similar.

Mountains and trees, the occasional hamlet, weeds and barrenness, are hard to identify.

"No, but not far." Xia Yue said: "If it's late tonight, we will also live in the Red Leaves Courtyard." ”

Ye Caitang likes that place very much, the only pity is that it is summer.

The last time I had to go to the hot springs, I had to go again, and it would be boring to soak in them.

After walking a little more, a sheep's intestine path, at the end of the road, you can see the eaves courtyard buried in the weeds and dead trees.

It used to be an elegant and exquisite house, but now, it looks like a haunted house.

The person sent by Chu Shijing dismounted at the door and said, "Lord Xia, it is our family's other courtyard." It has been uninhabited for many years and has been deserted. ”
