Chapter 48: The Year of the Dancing Elephant

Fuyi picked up the writing brush that fell aside, reached out and wrote a few words on the paper:

Ma'am, I miss you very much.

"What are you doing?" the prince sulked.

Fuyi put down the brush and smiled: "Isn't that what you should write?"

"If you want to write it yourself, please take a piece of paper."

The prince got up and planned to ignore him.

Fuyi hurriedly grabbed him, and said with a smile, "How's the case?"

"nothing at all."

Seeing that he was obviously angry, Fuyi didn't let go of the man, and continued to laugh: "Then you still have the mood to write to Madam?"

"None of your business." The prince shook his hand sullenly.

Just when he was about to go out, he was hugged from behind, and the prince froze.

"what are you doing?"

"Just now the county magistrate told me that no silver was dug in the yard, they even dug under the rockery."

Fu Yi paused, then said briskly: "I probably know where the silver is."

The warm breath in his ear made him tremble.

"Oh."

He imitated Fuyi's previous tone and said nonchalantly.

Fuyi chuckled and said, "I'm helping you, otherwise what do you think I'm here for?"

As he said that, he was about to let him go, but he saw that the prince's ears were red, which immediately aroused his interest, and deliberately whispered: "Why don't you answer me?"

"You...you let me go."

"What's the matter? Just give you a hug." Fuyi pretended to be wronged.

"What are you doing?!"

The prince became furious, pulled his hand away, and stayed away from him.

Fuyi curled her lips and said, "This case is a bit complicated."

"I know."

The prince was not in a good mood and said, if it is that simple, do the people in Dali Temple eat dry food?

"Where is the silver?"

Fuyi smiled: "Don't you care?"

"Whether you say it or not!"

The prince shook his sleeves and left.

Talking to him is really annoying.

But I have something to ask for from others...

The next morning, the prince got up early, wanting to see what the courtyard that had been dug three feet looked like, but Fuyi got up here too.

He usually sleeps until the sun rises before getting up, but this time it's so early?fraudulent.

The prince just ignored him and left in a hurry after eating.

When we arrived at that family's house, the yard was already in a mess, and the old lady was just asking if the murderer had been found.

The prince was about to explain, but someone behind him said loudly: "I didn't find the murderer, but I found out where the silver is!"

The prince turned around, and saw Fuyi walking towards him with the wind blowing under his feet, until he stood beside him.

The two sons of the family obviously didn't believe it, and asked, "How is it possible? My father kept telling us that the money is buried in the yard!"

"Have you always said that?"

Fuyi's question caught the two of them for a moment, and then the eldest son said, "Yes."

Fuyi pondered, and the second son asked: "My lord, is what you said true?"

"You have also seen that there is no silver in this yard at all." Fuyi glanced at the messy yard, frowned and said to the prince, "Does everyone in the village know about this?"

The crown prince shook his head: "The county magistrate brought people here, and the voice is so loud, everyone must know about it."

"That's..." Fuyi hesitated to speak, smiled at the prince, and then fell silent.

"You didn't tell me..."

"Now that everyone knows it, there are two situations. One is that there is no so-called silver at all, and the other is that the silver is elsewhere."

Fuyi's eyes sparkled as she looked at her two sons.

"Father rarely mentioned this matter, and never said that the money was elsewhere."

The old lady also nodded and said: "My husband has never said anything similar since he came here."

"That's it." Fuyi narrowed her eyes and said, "The money is elsewhere."

"Where is it?" the eldest son asked eagerly.

Fuyi smiled and said, "What are you in a hurry for?"

The eldest son seemed to know that he was rude, so he quickly apologized.

"how do you know?"

It was only after the prince asked this that he realized that he seemed to be going to tell him yesterday.

"Your Highness, let's talk about this when we go back." Fuyi smiled at him, and then said, "You said that day, which family took in the three men?"

The prince stared, it turned out that this person really remembered what he said!

Seeing him standing still, Fuyi went to hold his hand, but unexpectedly was avoided, the prince only said: "Let's go."

Fuyi just smiled and followed.

The family was located on the west side of the village. When the male owner saw that it was the prince and prince, he quickly knelt down.

"At that time, the three people only said that they were going to the capital for business, because they lost something on the way, they passed by here, and asked for a few nights' accommodation."

"How many nights did you stay?"

"Six nights in total."

The host wiped his sweat.

"When did you leave?"

The host flipped through the book and said, "It's August [-]th."

The crime happened on August [-], and he left the next day?

The son added: "They said there was a murder and they felt a little ominous and left."

"What do they look like?"

"It's just like ordinary people, otherwise Xiaomin will definitely remember it deeply."

"Is there any unusual behavior?"

"That's not found."

The two went to see the room where they lived. The three of them lived in one room, which was big enough for three people to live in. At this time, the house was cleaned up and spotless.The house is located at the back, and there is a window on the east side. Fuyi went to look at it. Opposite the window is the neighbor's house, and the alley is in front of it.

Fuyi asked casually, "Do you usually receive these guests?"

"Yes, this room is for receptions."

Fuyi nodded and asked, "Did you hear any movement on the night of August [-]? It's probably around midnight."

When a person dies in Zi, it takes at most a moment from here to that family.

The man thought for a while and said: "I remember that night, probably at Haishi, the three of them were drinking and punching. After drinking for half an hour, the three of them fell asleep. Because the noise made my son sleep, so I remember very clear."

Fuyi raised her eyebrows and said, "Then, wouldn't it be like this in the past?"

"No, I usually go to bed at Haishi, so I remember clearly that day."

"What do they usually do during the day?"

"Sometimes I will go out for a walk, and when the sun sets, I will come back."

Fuyi nodded and looked at the prince.

"Your Highness, lord, are these three people related to the murder?"

Fuyi smiled: "I can't tell."

Next, Fuyi asked to go to the house of the man who was going to take care of her daughter's funeral.

This family was still a little west, and when they asked about their neighbors, they all said that they hadn't seen anyone for a long time, and they left on August [-]th.

Fuyi asked: "When did you leave? Before noon?"

The neighbor next door thought for a while and said, "Yes."

Fuyi ordered the police behind her to quickly say, "Open the door and go in."

The crown prince held him back and said, "This is not very good, is it?"

"It's okay, it's for the investigation."

A few policemen quickly knocked open the door. When the door was opened, there was a musty smell, and it seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time.

Several people looked around for a week, Fuyi entered the room to have a look, and several police officers went to the yard, the prince followed Fuyi and said: "Can you find anything?"

"do not know--"

Before he could finish speaking, a policeman ran in quickly, bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, lord, there is a corpse in the well in the yard."

"What?" The prince exclaimed, and hurriedly followed.

Sure enough, there was a dead body in the well, which looked like a man.

Several policemen salvaged the body, Fuyi led the neighbor forward and asked, "Who is this?"

The neighbor exclaimed: "This is not... this is Hu Cheng!"

Fuyi froze for a moment. Obviously, the news had a more deterrent effect. It seemed that more than one person died.

Fuyi looked at the neighbor, frowned and said, "You don't even know he's dead, but you still think they went to hold a funeral for your daughter?"

The neighbor hurriedly knelt down and said, "My lord, seeing that his wife had already left, Xiaomin just thought he left first, and didn't care..."

Fuyi pondered for a moment.

"There's a dagger on the body," put in the detective.

Fuyi took a closer look and asked, "Is it the same as last time?"

A policeman replied, "Same."

"Looks like it was the same person who killed them."

The prince was stunned and asked, "When did you die?"

"I guess, probably before August sixteenth."

The prince glared at him: "That's up to you? They left on August [-]th!"

Fuyi laughed, and said, "I didn't say that those three people killed it, how can you be sure it was them?"

The prince was stunned, then turned around and ignored him.

The corpse was already smelling like corpses, Fuyi took a few steps back and said, "Tell the county magistrate about this right away."

"Yes."

"Then what are we going to do?"

Fuyi smiled: "Last time you said how many children died?"

The two went to the north, and the three families heard that they were investigating the matter, and they looked like they were about to quarrel again. The prince hurriedly said, "Who of you will tell me about the process."

The woman in the middle stood up and said, "Your Highness, my lord, at that time, the poor woman's son was playing with their sons by the river, and her son fell into the water, so her son urged my son to go down to save others. But my son can't swim at all!"

"Your Highness, my lord, she spewed blood! It was her son who went down by himself! My son has always been the bravest, but when I arrived, her son grabbed my son and wouldn't let him go! My son drowned! "

The other woman cried: "Your Highness, my lord, it was their two sons who asked the poor woman's son to go down and catch fish for them to eat. My son accidentally drank a few sips of water and didn't swim up!"

"How could my son..."

"Okay, okay." Fuyi frowned and interrupted them, and said, "When did that happen?"

"It's about August thirteenth."

Fuyi nodded, turned around and smiled at the prince: "You can go and find out where the woman who went to do the funeral for her daughter went."
