"Did you see the deceased by the lake?" Song Ling asked again, she always felt that this time the death of the little prince of the Ankang Hou Mansion was very likely to be related to the party.

"Yes, he had breakfast at Zheng Kee Restaurant, I wanted to have a meal with him, and then a few friends told me to hurry up, so I urged him to hurry up, and he answered at that time, and said something about it, I will be there later, and then I left. ”

The second son said, and then his expression was a little gloomy, "I know that you didn't kill him, Han Sheng is having a hard time, and it's a good thing that he is gone, but this son asks you, you must find the murderer and seek justice for Han Sheng!"

The second son has changed his previous disdain, and at this moment he is more like an ordinary person who feels sad because of the unknown death of his brother.

Song Ling nodded, and then took Qi Zuo and Chu Linyuan to the alley where the body was found, and at this moment, the basket in the alley had been removed, and there was nothing left.

"Where's the thing, who told you to destroy the scene!" Song Ling couldn't help but say angrily as he looked at the corner of the wall.

"Wei Gongzi, those baskets are in the back hall...... There were many noisy people here, and in order to appease the people, the prefect moved everything to the back hall. He explained.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Song Ling said.

"I thought Miss Song would find something else when she came here. "Excuse me.

Song Ling angrily supported his forehead, raised his foot and was about to leave, when suddenly Chu Linyuan behind him stopped everyone: "Wait a minute, you guys come and see, the color of this soil is different from the surroundings." ”

"Where?" Song Ling immediately walked over, looking at the red dirt on Chu Linyuan's fingertips, and then at the yellow dirt all around, it was really different!

"Go back to the back hall!" Song Ling said.

The back hall is located at the back of the yamen, and at this moment it is already full of baskets, Song Ling stepped forward to look carefully, and sure enough, he saw a touch of red soil, scattered, it seems that it should be left by the murderer when he carried the body.

"Miss Song, there are also on the shoes of the deceased, as well as on the clothes. Chu Linyuan said: "Earlier, the second prince said that the soil of Taihu Lake is red, and this king thinks that Taihu Lake should be the scene of the crime. ”

"Yes, I think so too. ”

"Then let's go to Taihu Lake and have a look. ”

Song Ling and Chu Linyuan hit it off, and then walked towards Taihu Lake.

Taihu Lake is located in the south of the city, is the favorite place of the sons of the family, the red soil has become the symbol of Taihu Lake, several small restaurants on the shore have already hung out the business signs, the sunset, the lake is connected with the soil is a red color, it is really beautiful.

"It's so big, how can you find it?" he looked at the wide shore, a little worried.

Song Ling smiled slyly and said, "He ate at Zheng Ji Restaurant, let's go and ask." ”

Zheng Ji Restaurant is in the last corner, if it weren't for Chu Linyuan's sharp eyes, it is estimated that Song Ling would have to look for it for a long time.

As soon as the three of them entered the door, Xiao Er came running diligently, with a sweat towel on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "What do the three guest officers want to eat?

Song Ling laughed, found a place to sit down, took out a few pieces of silver, put them in the little second-hand boldly, and said with a smile: "Little Er, let's ask you a few questions." ”

"Ask, promise to know everything!" Xiao Er saw that he had received the benefits, and immediately flattered.

Seeing this, Song Ling went straight to the point and said, "I just want to ask the son-in-law who is waiting for health in the morning after eating breakfast at your place, what is wrong?

Xiao Er's originally smiling face, when he heard Song Ling's words, he immediately turned pale, hurriedly returned the silver in his hand to Song Ling, and said "I don't know, I don't know," and then ran towards the back kitchen.

"Hey, this guy, frizzy!" said a man who looked like a shopkeeper was bumped by Xiao Er, and said unhappily.

Song Ling looked at Xiao Er's back as he left in a hurry, and seemed to be a little scared and frightened, could it be that Xiao Er knew something?

"Shopkeeper, come here. Song Ling immediately shouted at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper immediately walked over and said with a smile: "What do the guest officers order?"

"Let me ask you, what was wrong with the son who was waiting for him to finish breakfast with you this morning, and where did he go after eating?"

"This, I really don't know, I'll go out to collect in the morning, you should ask Li Xiaoer, I'll go and call you." The shopkeeper went to the kitchen as he spoke, and after a while, he came out scolding and said, "This Li Xiaoer, he ran away without saying a word!"

"Where did you go?" Song Ling asked nervously, if he didn't guess wrong, there was something wrong with this little two.

The shopkeeper looked at Song Ling's overreaction and said Li Xiaoer's address.

After Song Ling heard this, he threw down a tael of silver and thanked him, and walked out.

"Hey, this boy is rich, and he actually gave broken silver as a tip. The shopkeeper picked up the broken silver and said with a happy smile, and the anger that Li Xiaoer had left inexplicably had vanished at this moment.

Chu Linyuan and Qi Zuo also saw that there was definitely something wrong with Xiao Er, and the three of them hurried to Li Xiao Er's house.

The black tile and gray walls, the dark wooden door is stained, the buckle has long been rusted and cracked, and the cornices on the roof are missing a corner, which is hideous in the sky.

"Buckle buckle, buckle buckle. Song Ling tapped dozens of times in a row, but there was no movement inside, and Song Ling felt the slightest bit wrong.

Suddenly, there was a cracking sound inside, and Song Ling immediately flew up the wall, only to see Li Xiaoer fall to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and the black-clothed man on the side saw Song Ling, and his exposed eyes immediately became vicious, and he attacked Song Ling with his bare hands.

Song Ling dodged sideways, at this time Chu Linyuan also climbed over the wall, the man in black saw that the other party turned around and was about to leave, Song Ling immediately kicked it, the man in black was annoyed and angry, only to see a flash of cold light, the man in black had an extra dagger in his hand, and stabbed straight towards Song Ling!

Song Ling looked at the sudden dagger, a little panicked.

The dagger was getting closer and closer, and Song Ling couldn't avoid it at all at this time, and he was ready to be stabbed.

With a pop, he only heard the blade cutting through his clothes, and the smell of blood dispersed, but the pain came later, and Song Ling opened his eyes.

Chu Linyuan didn't know when he was in front of him, and one of his arms had already been stabbed.

I saw Chu Linyuan glance at his arm, his eyes were as cold as a leopard in winter, and he said in a low voice: "You go and wake up Li Xiaoer, and leave it to me here." ”

"Your injured ......" Song Ling was a little worried, this was the second time Chu Linyuan had saved himself.

Chu Linyuan said that it was okay, and then flew up and scuffled with the man in black.

Where is the man in black who is Chu Linyuan's opponent? Seeing that he couldn't beat him, he turned around and ran.
