Yang Xiu secretly admired Ji Nuan's courage, a headless female corpse, she was a little afraid and disgusted when she first saw her, but she didn't have any mood swings at all.

"The first person to find her was a tofu seller, Grandma was frightened, and now she should still be with Dr. Zhang, we also looked around for her head after we arrived, but we didn't find it. ”

"Has the identity of the deceased been confirmed?, but someone has come to report the case?" Ji Nuan asked while continuing to check the female corpse, and found that the corpse was gorgeously dressed, with slender and smooth fingers, and a heavy smell of fat powder on the body.

Yang Xiu: "The head of the deceased is gone, the identity is not clear, and no one in the yamen has reported the case. ”

"Judging from the current situation, if the deceased is not the daughter of a rich family, there is only one possibility, she is a woman in a green house. ”

Yang Xiu also does some idle work every day, and he is really not good at detectives, so he immediately wondered: "How can you see it?"

"If there is a woman missing from a rich family, he must come to the government to report the case as soon as possible, there are many people in the Qinglou, there are more or less people in it, so naturally he will not be found immediately. ”

"A few of you go to a few Qinglou in the town to inquire, Yang Xiu and I will go to the scene of the murder first, and then go to meet the witnesses. Remember, find out which Qinglou has lost someone, don't lecture first, wait for me to ask. ”

"Yes," the officials departed respectfully.

Ji Nuan couldn't help but be a little annoyed, they didn't know how to protect the murder scene, and brought the body back. For now, I can only try my luck again, and see if there are any clues left at the scene, and the head must be the key.

............

The scene of the murder was even more damaged than expected, because the crime occurred earlier and it was located in the center of the market, there were too many pedestrians coming and going, and the blood stains on the ground were blurred, not to mention the clues.

Ji Nuan also came here to feel if there was any demonic aura, but after some investigation, he didn't find any demonic aura, if the murderer was a human, the matter might be easier to solve.

"Let's go, go to Dr. Zhang's place to see Grandma. ”

Dr. Zhang's pharmacy is next to the market, just a few steps away from the scene of the crime.

There was only one disciple in the pharmacy, and when he saw someone coming from the yamen, he immediately greeted him: "Brother Guancha, grandma is in the backyard wing, I'll take you there." ”

Doctor Zhang shook his head and walked out of the room, and when he saw Ji Nuan and a few people coming, he immediately said: "Grandma is a lonely old man, and she was seriously frightened, and she was already a little delirious at this time, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to ask anything." ”

After Ji Nuan nodded in response, he walked in directly. Seeing Grandma sitting on the bed, staring out of the window with a dull expression, she immediately smiled: "Grandma, what are you looking at?"

Grandma pointed to a string of red in the yard and grinned: "Look how gorgeous the flowers are! It's like blood, blood, red blood, a lot of blood......

Grandma suddenly lost control of her emotions, her body trembled constantly, and then she pulled up the quilt on the bed and got in.

"Grandma, where is the blood, what have you seen, have you seen what the murderer looks like?"

Grandma just hid in the quilt and kept chanting: "Blood, a lot of blood, a lot of blood......"

Ji Nuan wanted to continue to ask, but a servant suddenly came outside the door: "The identity of Ji Zhutou and the deceased has been confirmed, it is Guixiang, a famous prostitute from Wanhualou, we have surrounded Wanhualou, just wait for Ji Zhutou to go and interrogate." ”

"Okay, you stay here and continue to observe Grandma's situation, and let me know as soon as she remembers something. Yang Xiu, let's go to Wanhualou. ”

............

Wanhualou was surrounded by the people, they knew that there was a murder in the town, and they saw that Wanhualou was surrounded by officials, so they came here to join in the fun.

"Get out of the way, the yamen will handle the case, and the idle people will avoid it immediately, otherwise they will all be taken to prison. ”

Although Yang Xiu is not good at investigating cases, he is still very good at dealing with a few people, and as soon as this remark came out, the people who watched the excitement immediately avoided him.

The old bustard in Wanhualou is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, this is making a fuss, how can he do business?

Seeing that someone was coming from the yamen, he immediately threw his flattering eyes and greeted him warmly: "Yo, the official is here, hurry, please sit down, the girls are coming and waiting." ”

The girls inside looked at Yang Xiu and the others were all fierce and vicious, you pushed me, I pushed you, no one dared to approach.

Yang Xiu: "Okay, our Ji Zhutou is here to handle the case, and we will give me an honest reply, and if we don't find out why, don't even think about opening your Wanhualou." ”

Seeing that Ji Nuan was a woman, the old bustard disdained it in his heart, thinking that the matter of losing some money would be over: "Ji Zhutou, a small meaning is not a respect, so you can withdraw those people outside the door! ”

Ji Nuan took the money bag, bumped back and forth in his hand, and showed a wicked smile: "You are bribing me!"

With the sound of the money bag falling to the ground, the ingots inside were scattered all over the ground.

"You are so bold to openly bribe and say, how did Guixiang die?"

Seeing that the situation was not right, the old bustard immediately staggered and fell to his knees: "Ji Zhutou, I know it's wrong, I don't dare anymore." Cinnamon, cinnamon, I don't know!"

Yang Xiu: "Hugh has to deliberately conceal it, otherwise he will be punished as an accomplice to the murderer, the murderer has not been found for a day, all of you are suspicious, let alone doing business, it will be difficult to clear the customs and go to prison." ”

"Official, official, I really don't know anything! Guixiang has always been outsourced by Hong Yuan, and left with him last night. We also thought that she spent the night at Hong Yuanwai's house, who would have thought that she would lose her life!"

The old bustard cried with a handful of snot and tears, this cinnamon is one of the top brands of Wanhualou, and it is not pretended to be sad when it loses a cash cow.

Ji Nuan: "Yang Xiu, let's go, go and meet that Hong Yuanwai?"

"Ji Zhutou, what should they do?"

"It's just some powerless women, even if some of them have a holiday with the deceased, with their ability, it is impossible to screw off the deceased's head. ”

Ji Nuan had already searched around when he came, and there was neither demonic spirit nor men here, and no one was suspicious at all.

"However, since the murderers have their sights on Guixiang, they may also be in danger, so you send someone to continue to guard this place so that no one takes advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. ”

After some painstaking arrangements, Yang Xiu took Li Nuan to Hong Yuanwai's house.

Before entering the door, I heard the sound of porcelain fragments, followed by a woman's scolding: "Okay, you are Hong Guangliang, last night I carried the old lady outside to find a wild woman, didn't you, there was a coquettish hoof smell on your body, how did you promise the old lady, I let you go, I let you go!"

When he entered the door, he found that the man named Hong Guangliang was kneeling on the ground with his head in his hands, and a wide and fat woman next to him was poking his head vigorously.

The woman was angry at this time, and when she saw Ji Nuan and a few people coming, she felt even more angry: "What are you doing here? The matter between our husband and wife doesn't seem to be in the way of the official!"

Yang Xiu: "You, you dare to be so unreasonable, I now suspect that you are related to a murder case, and you don't quickly cooperate with the investigation." ”

Who knew that the woman couldn't help but not cooperate, but crossed her hands on her hips and said arrogantly: "What kind of murder, what's the matter with us, hurry up and get out of my way, we haven't stuffed money into Li Xianling's hands for a year, don't bother me here, what you want, I'll send it to you in two days, get away, don't disturb the old lady." ”

Yang Xiu was forced to take two steps back, and when he saw the doubt in Ji Nuan's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little weak. Which errand person in this yamen will not occasionally loot some people's fat and ointment, and then accept a small bribe, otherwise, how can he support his family with that little moonsilver.

But just now Ji Nuan's attitude towards the bustard he also saw, knowing that she was different from ordinary people, and he would not see such an atmosphere, so he hurriedly bowed his head and remained silent.

Ji Nuan retracted his gaze, there were so many corrupt officials and corrupt officials in ancient times, can they take care of it themselves? The most important thing now is to find the murderer. It's just that this Hong Guangliang is thin and weak, and he is so afraid of his wife, it seems a little unlikely that he can screw off the deceased's head in one fell swoop.

Seeing that Ji Nuan had no intention of leaving, the woman scolded again: "Hey, I said what's the matter with you? What should a good woman arrest quickly, and what murder case should she use as an excuse to investigate, is she trying to seduce me again?"

What does this woman think, it seems that she has a few stinky money in her family, and everyone looks like a rival in love. Hearing her foul language, Ji Nuan was also a little annoyed in her heart, and said sharply: "Enough, you are so arrogant and unreasonable, no wonder your Xiang Guild went to Wanhualou to find other women." You know that the woman named Guixiang died last night, and I now have reason to suspect that you deliberately murdered her. ”

At this time, Hong Guangliang, who had not dared to gnaw on the ground for a long time, began to sob: "Guixiang, how can you ...... , hey, I should have taken you away sooner, so as not to suffer from this shrew's wretchedness. ”

When the woman heard this, she immediately exploded: "Okay, you eat things inside and outside, and you want to elope with that woman, see if I don't waste you today." ”

Ji Nuan only felt upset for a while, and had no choice but to use the immobilization technique on her, so the woman couldn't move, but she didn't stop for a moment: "Hong Guangliang, the old lady fought with you ......"

Yang Xiu immediately dragged the woman away knowingly.

It wasn't until the woman's voice gradually disappeared in her ears that Ji Nuan began to ask: "Hong Guangliang, let's talk about it, tell me what is going on between you and Guixiang?"

"Catcher, you have also seen, where does my mother-in-law look like a woman, I was forced by her to go out to look for her, Guixiang is gentle and virtuous, even my heart, I really like her. Last night Guixiang sent me out of Wanhualou, and I promised her to elope with her when she came back with the money, but I never thought that she would be killed. Woohoo......"

Men all over the world are the same, they obviously make mistakes, but they always use strong words, but instead blame the fault on the woman, making themselves like a victim.

Ji Nuan couldn't help but feel sympathy for his wife, thinking that her violent temper was because she married a man with a heart!

Hong Guangliang cried for a while, and then pointed to the direction where the woman left and said angrily: "It must be her, that mother-in-law is ruthless, anyone dares to do it, it must be that she has long known about Guixiang's existence and deliberately murdered Guixiang." ”

"Does your wife have any unusual behavior on weekdays, or she is excellent in martial arts, or maybe she is advanced in cultivation?"

"Hmph, I've known her for more than ten years, if you say something different from ordinary people, it should be that she can eat better than others, and her strength is very great, you see that she is as strong as a cow, what is there she that she dare not do. Just pity my cinnamon, woo woo ......"

Ji Nuan didn't ask anymore when he heard this, this Hong Guangliang wished that his wife was a murderer, and according to what he said, he felt that his wife was not capable of killing in such a cruel way.

"Okay, Guixiang's whole head is gone, you are familiar with her, do you know if she offended anyone when she came in?"

"No, absolutely not, Guixiang is empathetic, she hasn't taken other guests since she got along with me, how could she end up like this?

This Hong Guangliang is determined to send his wife to the prison cell, and it is in vain to ask any more, it seems that he has to start with the missing head.
