Murder

Chuntong is from Fangfeiji. Fangfeiji came to Xuefu and other girls, but there was no sign of Chuntong.

"Chuntong hasn't gotten up yet." Xue Fu said, "The door is closed..."

She stopped in the middle of her words, and her face changed accordingly: "I'll go back and have a look."

After Xue Fu left, Sima Feng spoke to Chi Yebai: "This is not right. Chuntong is already nineteen years old, and compared with Rongzhu Xiaoyan, he is already beyond the scope of the murderer's choice."

Chi Yebai: "How do you know she is nineteen?"

Sima Feng paused for a moment, then turned his head quickly: "Shuanghua, you have to remind the mothers in Qinshuangyuan, and let the mothers talk to each other a few more times, girls who are about the same age as Rongzhu and Xiaoyan should not Go out frequently and stay in the building more.”

The women showed apprehension on their faces, but they didn't get any comfort.Most of them were about the same age as Chuntong, if something happened to Chuntong, everyone in Jinyanchi would really be in danger.

"If you don't go out... how do you make money?" Someone whispered, "Without customers, you can't pay money, but you will be punished by your mothers."

Sima Feng and Chi Yebai asked everyone to wait for a while, and they turned to find Murong Hai and Ah Si to arrange the investigation.

As soon as he walked out of the corridor, he heard someone whispering in the yard downstairs, it was Ah Si and Murong Hai chatting with Song Beiyan.

Ah Si said, my young master is so thick-skinned that you can't make a clean mark with an axe.

Murong Hai said, my master is so thin-skinned that he turns red when the wind blows, and explodes when his face turns red.

Song Beiyan ate the pine nuts in Ah Si's hand, listening with relish: "Brother Sima and Brother Chi have been like this since they were young?"

Ah Si and Murong Hai said in unison: "That's it."

Ah Si also added: "Master Chi was very handsome when he was a child, and my wife often put on little girls' clothes to dress up. The young master blushed when he saw it, but when he blushed, he didn't forget to go over and hold his hand. Ouch, interesting Extremely."

Sima Feng came alive: "Xiaobai, I remember this, you were very good-looking at that time."

Chi Yebai: "..."

Murong Hai went on to say: "Master Sima was much cuter when he was a child than he is now, and his skin was not as thick as a city wall. He was as thin as my master. Aren't the two always going to the sea to catch shrimps and crabs? It was my master who carried him back and choked on the water again. Ouch, it was so funny, both of us were crying, and then all the adults in the family were laughing..."

Chi Yebai couldn't listen anymore, and called him coldly: "Murong."

Murong Hai shook, and the pine nuts in his hand fell with a clatter.Ah Si and Song Beiyan had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and immediately held on to their sleeves.Murong Hai jumped up to the corridor on the second floor, and landed in front of Chi Yebai neatly, without making a sound.Ah Si was laughing wildly, looked up and saw Sima Feng was also standing on top, immediately shook all the pine nuts in his sleeves to Song Beiyan, and then jumped up,

"If you have time to gossip, why don't you go and help me with errands." Since Murong Hai is a few years older than himself, Chi Yebai has no intention of reprimanding him, and it is inconvenient to reprimand him, so he quickly cut to the chase, "Before Rong Zhu disappeared, she went out to tell Yexiang, this is a Clues. You go and find out who poured Yexiang at the Golden Mist Pond that day."

"Also in Xiangzhulou and Qinshuangyuan, have there been any strange things in the past three months, disputes are fine, or guests who don't pay to play, in short, there are no big or small things, as long as there is something abnormal , and write down the rewards." Sima Feng said to Ah Si, "You and Murong can bring the rest of the people to act together."

Murong Hai and Ah Si looked at each other, bowed their hands respectfully, "Yes."

Chi Yebai: "...don't tell any more stories."

Ah Si: "Hey, Young Master Chi has wronged us. Song Beiyan has just arrived and was frightened by Gan Lingshi. Murong and I are trying to comfort him. He is young and curious, so he insists on dragging us to beg me. The two told him some stories about the family. This one belongs to the elder brother Murong. It’s not good for us to cover everything, right. After all, we are a family in the future, and we have to get along well. .”

Song Beiyan, who was eating pine nuts downstairs, was dumbfounded: "...I never said that! It was you two who dragged me to tell me!"

Murong Hai: "Look at this child Song Beiyan, he is so shy that he can hardly speak, hehe."

Chi Yebai and Sima Feng were very aware of the dispositions of their two personal servants, and nine out of ten sentences were mixed with water.Song Beiyan watched eagerly as two godlike martial arts masters jumped down from the second floor, took pine nuts from his sleeves one after another, and led a group of people away quickly.

"Song Beiyan." Sima Feng poked his head out, "Have you finished the autopsy?"

"It's not over." Song Beiyan said, "I vomited on Gan Lingshi, he was not happy and kicked me out."

"..." Sima Feng nodded, "You can do it, I admire you."

"But he asked me to tell you something. The little goose's tongue turned blue, it must have been poisoned. But the poison needs to be tested again." Song Beiyan said, "He went to the mass grave in the afternoon to find Rongzhu dead body, I want you to send five people to go with you."

"You are one, I will find four more."

Song Beiyan trembled: "I don't count."

Sima Feng: "Why doesn't it count?"

Song Beiyan: "I was kicked out by him... What if I go to a mass grave and spit on someone else's grave?"

Sima Feng smiled: "Don't worry, he will definitely take you there. His apprentice must go to the mass grave once before being recognized by him. The mass grave is not big, but there are quite a lot of people, and wild dogs Quite a lot, you have to be careful. Don’t stay too long, those ghosts and spirits, I like you the most, and you have to touch a few if you can’t eat.”

Song Beiyan's face was pale, and he hurriedly stuffed a handful of pine nut shells into his mouth, and bit them with a click.

The investigation at Jinyanchi didn't stop until late at night.The mothers and ghost slaves from all over the buildings came out to chase people away, and said with a smile that if they didn't play in their own buildings, they would not welcome them.Chi Yebai was groped by a woman close to his chest, Sima Feng stepped forward to push him away, and dragged him away quickly.

Bian Jiang went back to the yamen in the city before nightfall, but he tried his best but failed to persuade the lord to send a few more patrols to Jinyan Pond to investigate.Chuntong was really not in the room, she had disappeared the night before.Fangfeiji, Qinshuangyuan and Xiangzhulou gathered more than a dozen turtle slaves to search in the Golden Mist Pond, but they couldn't find it.Just as Sima Feng and Chi Yebai walked out of the Golden Smoke Pond, they saw Bian Jiang approaching with a knife.

Sima Feng is not willing to talk to Bian Jiang, he thinks Bian Jiang is stupid.

After telling Bianjiang about the kapok man during the day, the man actually said something like "Could it be that the kapok man turned into a ghost to take his life", which made Sima Feng almost roll his eyes, so he didn't want to see him even more.Bian Jiang was very happy to see the two of them, and greeted them immediately.After he went back, he told the old inspector what happened here, and now he finally knew Sima Feng's name, and quickly apologized to him.

"You came here alone?" Chi Yebai asked in surprise, "Golden Smoke Pond is big or small, how can you patrol alone?"

"...Actually, there is no one." Bian Jiang scratched his head, "I came here by myself. Since the officials don't come forward, I can do a little bit. After all, it is still a patrol, and I have to take some responsibility. "

There were two words clearly written in Sima Feng's eyes: idiot.

On the other hand, Chi Yebai at the side praised his behavior: "It's pretty good."

During the daytime of the second day, Gan Lele came to Sima Feng, told him the conclusion of going to the mass grave to find Rong Zhu's body yesterday, and embellished the tragic situation of Song Beiyan vomiting all the way to the point of weakness, and crying on the way back. .Song Beiyan, who was following behind him, turned yellow and said nothing.

Like Xiaoyan, Rongzhu's hair was also cut off by someone.Both of them were blue at the base of their tongues, and because Rongzhu had been dead for a long time, even the gums had bluish-purple scars.

In addition, the two little girls are wearing crimson headbands and blue lotus-colored embroidered shoes. The patterns of the embroidered shoes are different, but the color is almost the same.

Rong Zhu's body was already half-rotted, and Gan Le took two bones back for further examination.He recalled the situation when he found Rong Zhu's body that day, and told Sima Feng carefully one by one.

"The corpse had been left in the alley for several days, and it began to rot. I remember that there were two torn quilts covering the body. Seeing the traces on the quilts, it should have been thrown in the alley and used by the murderer. And the two The little girl's eyes are not closed." Gan Yue gestured to his own eyes, "There is a bruise on Rongzhu's forehead, which is half of the palm. The murderer kept pulling her forehead and the skin of her eyebrows to prevent her from closing her eyes. .”

Sima Feng frowned: "It's so weird? By the way, did you find traces of moss on the soles of their shoes?"

"Xiaoyan's no, the girls in Jinyan Pond washed her for her." Gan Le shook his head, "but the soles of Rongzhu's shoes have not been cleaned, and there are no traces of moss either."

Sima Feng was silent.

"I know what you're thinking." Gan Yue said, "The three things of kidnapping, rape, and murder didn't happen in the same place. The alley where Rong Zhu's body was buried also had thick moss, but there was only mud on her feet." Seal, no moss marks."

Sima Feng sighed and stood up.

"Thank you for your willingness. I'm going out to look for Xiaobai, and see how the information on Yingbeishe's side is going. I'm quite concerned about the person who poured Yexiang."

At this time, Song Beiyan, who was weak at the side, said: "I saw the visit list compiled by Brother Murong and Brother Ah. There are more than 100 people including the guests who have disputes in Jinyan Pond in the past three months. This is too difficult. checked."

"It's always difficult at the beginning." Sima Feng said, "The most troublesome thing now is that the Golden Mist Pond doesn't let me and Xiaobai's people enter. They only put a frontier, saying that they are afraid of disturbing the interest of the guests. Chun Tong I haven't found it yet, and I feel uneasy."

Gan Le was silent.He knew that Sima Feng also knew in his heart that Chuntong was in danger.Xuefu came back to Fangfeiji to inquire and found out that the night Chuntong disappeared, she wore a crimson hair band around her hair and went out wearing green lotus-colored embroidered shoes.She was invited by a son of a certain family to sing at the mansion, and after singing, she sent it back, but disappeared in the short distance between the plaque of Jinyan Pond and Fang Feiji.

Another day passed.On the evening of the third day, when Chi Yebai was sorting out the news of the two days' investigation with Murong Hai and others, Ah Si hurriedly rode to the door.

"Miss Chuntong has been found." Ah Si's face was covered with sweat, "In the abandoned alley beside the plaque of Jinyan Pond at the entrance of Zhaojia Alley."

Chi Yebai's heart sank.

"The entrance to the alley is blocked by bricks and stones. Brother Bian discovered it an hour ago." Ah Si took a few breaths, "Worse than Xiaoyan."

The author has something to say:

-

small theater.

Bian Jiang and Ah Si and the others quickly became acquainted.

Ah Si: Brother Bian, hey, I don’t know if I should say something or not.

Bianjiang: Say it.

Murong: You better stop talking.

Song Beiyan: I will be beaten to death.

Ah Si: Brother Bian wants me to talk about it. It’s not good if I don’t talk about it, right? Everyone is so familiar.Let me tell you, our young master and young master Chi, one is so thick-skinned, the other is so thin-skinned, oh, and... balabalabala...

Bianjiang: Mmmmmmm!Oh oh oh!Hahaha!

Murong: Tsk tsk, you will really be beaten to death.

Song Beiyan: Tsk tsk, big brother, misfortune comes from your mouth.

(Having said that, Murong Hai and Song Beiyan are the two who listen the most happily every time.)

Gan Lele: I also like to listen to gossip, but they don't take me to play.cry.
