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

Liu Ruyan: "Your Excellency, Yang Fugui is a frequent visitor to my place. Last night he came to my room as usual. He looked sad and worried. He didn't say anything when I asked him, and only took it out on me. I still have many scars on my body. Your Excellency can check if I am lying."

Tian Xingjian asked a yamen runner to come forward to help check. After checking, the yamen runner replied: "Sir, Liu Ruyan does have scars of being hurt by someone."

"Go on!" Tian Xingjian motioned for Liu Ruyan to continue.

"Yang Fugui used to love me, but last night, he seemed like a different person. He was so exhausting that I fell asleep. I had no idea what happened next. I woke up and called him but he didn't respond. I checked his breath and found he was dead and his body was ice cold. I immediately reported the case."

Combining the evidence he had just found and the results of the surface examination of the body, Tian Xingjian deduced that Yang Fugui might have died suddenly from a heart disease.

There were no external injuries on Yang Fugui's body, his lips were not black or purple, and other parts of his body looked like normal death.

However, there are two suspicious points. The two did not seem to have had sex last night, because there was no trace in Liu Ruyan's room.

No residue was found on Yang Fugui's lower body.

Liu Ruyan said that Yang Fugui tortured her until she was so tired that she fell asleep. This testimony is very problematic.

Another suspicious point is that Liu Ruyan's performance was beyond ordinary people, she was too calm.

Tian Xingjian carefully observed Liu Ruyan's expression. She was dressed neatly, with a complicated lily bun on her head, and her makeup was delicate and flawless.

There is only one possibility, that the time when Liu Ruyan discovered Yang Fugui's death was not the time she said.

This time, Tian Xiaoxiao and Daju changed the place where they ate the melon. They no longer lay on the doorstep, but went to the side hall of the court and sat down to eat the melon openly.

Daju: [This woman remained calm in the face of danger. She is a tough character. ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Could it be that Liu Ruyan killed Yang Fugui? ]

Daju: [She didn't kill him, but she is also responsible. ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Is this another murder case caused by two clients being jealous of each other? ]

Daju: [Almost. Liu Ruyan is a smart and courageous character.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Is there a big melon here? ]

After hearing Tian Xiaoxiao's thoughts, Liu Ruyan remembered that the young lady of the prefect's family loved to eat melons.

But she didn't get involved in this matter, and she had no evidence, so she couldn't just say it was related to her without any evidence, right?

Daju: [Yang Fugui is rich, but he is old and weak and is a fat pig. There is a poor scholar who has no money, but is gentle, handsome and young.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Women can’t escape from young and handsome men! Just like men like young bodies.]

Daju: [Yang Fugui has one wife and four concubines, but none of them has a child.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Yang Fugui is infertile? ]

Daju: [At first, Yang Fugui should have had no physical problems. The problem occurred in the ten years after Yang Fugui became Liu Ruyan's patron. She spent ten years playing a good game of chess.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Tell me quickly.]

Daju: [You should be able to infer this gossip from the scholar! ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [I can’t think of it. Give me some more hints.]

Daju: [When Liu Ruyan met the scholar, he was still a ten-year-old child. But it was strange that the ten-year-old child was determined to redeem Liu Ruyan and was very concerned about the fact that Yang Fugui always stayed in Liu Ruyan's room at night.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Precocious breed, possessiveness is so strong at the age of ten. ]

Daju: [Liu Ruyan seems to have developed unusual feelings for that ten-year-old child.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [So Liu Ruyan drugged Yang Fugui so that he could not have children, and thus made the ten-year-old child his adopted son?]

Tian Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of the melon she had eaten in her previous life, which was so similar to what happened to Liu Ruyan.

Daju: [He is very teachable. When the child was sixteen, he became Yang Fugui's adopted son. Before he became the adopted son, Liu Ruyan used her own private money to send him to school and learn to read. The boy also worked hard and passed the examination to become a scholar at the age of fifteen.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [But you just said that he was a poor scholar. Now that he is Yang Fugui's adopted son, he should have money to spend, right?]

Daju: [Yang Fugui is willing to spend money on women. His wife at home does not control the money he spends on women, but if others want to take a little more, it is impossible.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [They want to kill for money? They have to kill all the people in the Yang family to get the money, right?]

Daju: [Liu Ruyan coaxed Yang Fugui, so the scholar went to coax Yang Fugui's wife. Besides, she's pregnant.]

Liu Ruyan: Pregnant? He actually made that ugly girl from Yang Fugui's family pregnant?

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Yang Fugui is dead, and his adopted son also has the right of inheritance, but the scholar definitely wants all the property.]

Daju: [The child in Yang Fugui's wife's belly is his, which means that all the money of the Yang family has gone into the hands of the scholar.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Will he still like the prostitute Liu Ruyan at that time? ]

Daju: [Having seen a man of wealth and glory, you should be very clear about this, right? ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [I understand it too well. The scumbag married the beautiful, rich woman for money.]

Daju: [In this case, the scholar asked Yang Fugui’s wife to give him the medicine, which can cause a person to die of a heart attack.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Does Liu Ruyan know about this? ]

Daju: [Of course he knows. The two of them conspired to have Yang Fugui die in a brothel. There are precedents of patrons dying in the beds of prostitutes in brothels. The scholar has been with Liu Ruyan for so many years, and he has seen several such cases.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [What will Liu Ruyan get in the end? Nothing at all. ]

Daju: [What's even more ridiculous is that she and the scholar are in a spiritual relationship, not a physical one.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Why are there so many women who are obsessed with love? ]

Liu Ruyan: How come they both know what I'm thinking? Can they read my mind?

Daju: [The good looks of the scholar made Liu Ruyan unable to stop, because she had been a prostitute for many years and had never slept with a man as good-looking as the scholar.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [In the end, she didn’t get to sleep either! ]

Daju: [She is dressed so beautifully today, why do you think so? ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Is today the day she and the scholar consummate their marriage? ]

Daju: [Yes.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Oh no, this young man won’t be able to sleep well now, he has to spend the day in jail. Oh, by the way, where is their evidence? My dad doesn’t seem to have found any?]

Daju: [We found out, but we didn't find the scholar. Your father already suspected that Yang Fugui's death was not natural.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Let's go for a walk. We haven't been out for a few days. Now that we've finished eating this melon, we'll come back and hear the result.]

Daju: [Let’s go, let’s go to Fengyu Bridge again, there is a voice calling me. ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [I'll go call Ade.]
