Listen to my heart in the morning and eat melons in the afternoon.

The bailiff found Tian Xingjian while he was shopping and told him the case in general terms.

It turned out that Lingshan's son Lingyu went to the toilet after selling buns in the morning and found the soup pot and meat pot left there by Qingchen.

Ling Yu is eighteen years old this year and has been making buns with his father in a bun shop.

He smelled the meat and soup; they tasted sour and were unlike the soup and meat he usually prepared.

Driven by curiosity, he stirred the broth and found a human finger at the bottom of the soup pot.

To be exact, it is a human finger made of iron.

I quickly went to the county government to report the case.

The people around listened with great interest, surrounded Tian Xingjian, and were unwilling to leave, wanting to be the first to eat the melon.

This was the first time in all these years that they had watched the county magistrate handle official business up close.

Tian Xingjian put Tian Xiaoxiao down, squatted on the ground, and said to Tian Xiaoxiao lovingly: "Xiaoxiao, Daddy has to go take care of official business, you and mom can go shopping!"

After saying that, he took out a piece of silver from his pocket and put it in Tian Xiaoxiao's little hand.

He stood up again and looked at Lin Yunzhi apologetically:

"Madam, I have urgent business to attend to. You can go shopping with Xiaoxiao and the others, buy some clothes and jewelry that you like, and buy two sets of clothes and four study treasures for Bingsheng."

"Husband, go ahead and do your work. I'll take care of it. I'll just take them around. Nothing will go wrong."

Tian Xingjian followed the yamen runners and quickly went to the crime scene. The candy bean shop was in the southeast of the city.

Along the way, Tian Xingjian arranged various tasks, and the yamen runners were orderly and went to do their work after receiving the orders.

Ten yamen runners were dispatched to seal up the bun shop.

Send two more constables to guard near the candy bean shop to prevent Ling Feng from escaping.

A constable returned to the county government office. There was a hunting dog named Xiao Wei in the Wucheng County Government Office, who was Tian Xingjian's little helper in solving cases.

The candy bean shop not far from the steamed bun shop is doing very booming business, with people lining up to buy candy beans.

Ling Feng was sitting at the counter counting money.

At this time, a curious person arrived at the candy bean shop one minute before Tian Xingjian arrived in the southeast of the city and brought the melon he had just eaten to the scene.

When the people in the queue heard that the owner of the candy bean shop was so heartless, they spat at the candy bean shop and dispersed.

I went to buy Hongji candy beans from another store which tasted worse.

Ling Feng saw that the customers ran away in an instant, and he cursed, asking which bastard had used despicable means to deceive his customers.

He didn't know at the moment that his murderous melon had spread throughout Wucheng.

Ling Feng thought he had done a perfect job and those buns and soup had already entered the stomachs of the people of Wucheng.

Because when he woke up in the morning he found that Lingshan's bun shop was doing a booming business, so he went back to take a nap.

When he got up to open the shop, he looked carefully and saw that Lingshan's buns were almost sold out.

The soup was almost gone.

People in Wucheng have the habit of eating breakfast in the store and never buy food to take home.

They believe that freshly prepared food loses its flavor once it leaves the restaurant.

Lingshan Baozi business is booming. Firstly, the fillings are made of real meat and the quantity is large. You can taste the meat filling in one bite, unlike other restaurants where you can't even see any meat.

Secondly, every bun in Lingji Bun Shop comes with a bowl of premium beef bone soup.

Thirdly, the price is reasonable and ordinary people can afford it, even if they eat it for a long time.

Ling Feng regretted that he killed the people from the Western Regions too late. Seeing Ling Shan's wealth increasing day by day, he was extremely jealous.

If he had taken action a few years earlier, he would probably have become the richest man in Wucheng now. How could Ling Shan possibly surpass him?

However, it is a little late, but the money I earn in one year now is equivalent to what I earned in the previous three years, which is enough.

Ling Feng laughed like a pig when he thought about how his wallet would be full in the future.

The bones of the Western Region man had been stewed and broken into pieces by him last night and fed to the dogs. No one could hope to find any trace of him.

Even if Wucheng County Magistrate Tian Xingjian had the ability to go to heaven and earth, he could not catch Ling Feng.

People who bought candies at Hongji Tangdou saw Tian Xingjian working and, out of curiosity, stood aside to watch.

Tian Xingjian had already given instructions for the work on the way to the southeast of the city, and he went straight to investigate after arriving at the scene.

The coroner was already on site when Ling Yu reported the case, and was still carefully examining the pot of soup and the meat filling.

The iron finger that Ling Yu fished out was placed on a tray covered with white gauze.

The coroner used a magnifying glass to carefully search the iron finger, and found a piece of nail at the top of the iron finger with tweezers. It was a human nail.

However, this nail was relatively small, like a deformed fingernail. Because it was relatively small, it just happened to be embedded in the top of the iron finger.

The constable also arrived at the scene with Xiao Wei.

A yamen runner, panting, put a piece of clothing in front of Xiao Wei and reported to Tian Xingjian.

Alahan Jipu, a man from the Western Regions, went out the night before and never returned to the post station.

Jeep often disappeared for a few days and then reappeared, so they didn't realize that anything had happened to Jeep.

As for where Jeep went the night before, no one knew.

Xiao Wei sniffed it, then ran to the broth and barked.

Those who are familiar with Serena Williams know that the owner of the clothes is in the soup.

The stationmaster of the post station was also brought to the scene by the yamen runners.

Tian Xingjian asked the stationmaster if he knew the characteristics of Jip's fingers?

The stationmaster tried hard to recall and told Tian Xingjian nervously that Jip had a deformed finger, so he made a piece of iron that looked exactly like the finger and put it on his body.

He usually wears gloves and rarely takes them off.

The stationmaster knew Jeep's secret because one time Jeep forgot to take his gloves. When the stationmaster brought them to him, he saw Jeep wearing the finger that looked so lifelike.

Tian Xingjian asked the stationmaster to check if the iron finger on the tray belonged to Jeep.

The webmaster nodded first, then shook his head.

"Jip's fingers look real, not like this."

Tian Xingjian was curious about how the webmaster could remember it so clearly after only meeting him once?

The webmaster explained that it was really weird and that severed finger left a deep impression on me.

When Jip put on his gloves, he accidentally knocked off his iron finger. The stationmaster saw Jip's finger.

It was a middle finger, but the size of a little finger, with a small golden snake wrapped around it.

When Tian Xingjian heard this, he asked the coroner to look for the little golden snake in the pot of soup again.

As a result, after filtering it through a sieve, I actually found a little golden snake.

When the broth was filtered, there was an indescribable smell, and some people in the crowd were moaning “yue, yue, yue”.

The constables and yamen runners had very firm professional ethics and resisted the urge to vomit.

Since the pot of meat soup was found in the toilet in the backyard of the bun shop, Tian Xingjian first ordered the arrest of Ling Shan, the owner of the bun shop.

Ling Shan, the owner of the steamed bun shop, kept crying out that he was innocent.

At this time, a night watchman in the crowd spoke up: "Master Tian, ​​I saw Jipu leaving Lingfeng's house in the early hours of the night before last. Lingfeng was the last person to see Jipu."

"Oh?" Tian Xingjian thought, now he can arrest Ling Feng, otherwise he would still be worried about what reason to arrest Ling Feng.
