eye-catching

The next day, Lin Xie followed the prince to look inside the tomb. The boxes containing gold and silverware were placed next to the place where the coffin was originally placed. The box on the east side was empty on the eighth day of March. It is said that it was because When Ji Hong heard that someone had robbed the tomb, he was worried about his own tomb, so he went to have a look, and found an empty box.

The boxes on the west and north were not found on March [-]th, and all three boxes were empty.

"The scholar, what's his name?"

"Go back to your lord, Qian Wushuang."

Fuyi nodded, and said: "Strange, this case has already been spread to the capital, so you should already know about it, why don't you come back and see the woman who committed suicide for him?"

Lin Xie speculated, "Could it be that she changed her mind, or didn't dare to come back to see her?"

"Then what do you want to say, this man is too ruthless, this woman is not worth committing suicide for him?"

Lin Xie tilted her head and said nothing.

Fuyi asked, "Where is he from?"

"It's the people around here."

"Any family?"

"There is only one elder brother in the family, and both parents have passed away."

"Where's his brother? Call him over."

The county magistrate agreed, and hurriedly sent someone to call for him.

When Qian Wushuang's elder brother came, he fell to his knees.

"My lord, Xiaomin's younger brother hasn't heard from him since he went to the capital to take the imperial examination!"

"No more news?" Fuyi frowned and asked, "Is he gone now?"

"Yes!"

Fuyi sneered and said: "Hmph! No wonder the Dali Temple couldn't find anything. All the people with clues have disappeared!"

"The main thing is, how did those things get stolen?" Lin Xie pondered, "It can't just disappear out of thin air, right?"

"Of course this king knows." Fuyi snorted coldly and said, "Isn't there just one way to steal so many things under the noses of everyone!"

Lin Xie's eyes lit up, and said, "My lord, do you know?"

Fuyi stood up, grinned, and said, "I just don't know what Lin servant thinks is the same or different."

After finishing speaking, he waved away Qian Wushuang's brother and asked the county magistrate, "Is there anyone who went with Qian Wushuang to take the imperial examination?"

The county magistrate hurriedly nodded and said, "We have checked this, and there are two of them, and they are all back now."

"You call them here."

"Yes."

After the county magistrate went out, Fuyi looked at Lin Xie and asked, "What do you think?"

Lin Xie smiled, and said: "I think it must be brought into the coffin and sent out. Since the things are still there after checking in the morning, then put all the gold and silver wares into the coffin after the inspection. Can move out."

Fuyi nodded and agreed: "I felt something was wrong when I heard that there were six people carrying the coffin. If six people were needed, the coffin must be very heavy. That's the only way to make sense."

Fu Yi paused, with a puzzled expression on his face, and said: "I can't figure it out, what is this family doing by acting for themselves?"

Lin Xie guessed: "Could it be that you want to transfer things to another tomb?"

Fuyi suddenly remembered that the previous homicide case of the Hu family was because she wanted to conceal the fact that the thing was in the tomb, so she pretended to act in a play. Could it be that this time it was also because...

Fuyi shook her head and said, "No, if that's the case, then Ji Hong's performance yesterday was too exaggerated."

"However, what is certain is that," Fuyi said with a glint in his eyes, "Ji Hong must be hiding something."

Just as he was talking, the county magistrate over there had already brought people over.

There were two younger men who went to the exam with Qian Wushuang. When they saw the prince, they knelt down hurriedly.

"Let me ask you, did Qian Wushuang go to the capital with you?"

Hearing the prince's question, the two nodded in unison.

"So, where did he go after the exam?"

The person on the left replied: "Go back to the lord. After the exam, the two of us came back first. Wu Shuang said that he has an uncle in the capital and wants to go and see him."

"Uncle?" Fuyi nodded and asked, "Which uncle? Do you know?"

Both of them nodded. It seemed that they were not interested in relatives from poor families.

Fuyi looked at the county magistrate and said, "Go and check to see if Qian Wushuang has been to his uncle's house, when did he go, and when did he come back."

The county magistrate responded quickly.

Fuyi asked again: "Then Qian Wushuang, what kind of person is he?"

The two looked at each other, and the one on the left spoke first: "Go back to your lord, Qian Wushuang doesn't make friends with rich children, and he is a man of few words."

"How do you treat your friends?"

The man on the right said: "Not very close to friends."

Fuyi nodded, understood.

After dismissing the two, Fuyi went to see Yuanqi.

When I got up today, the Yuanqi sidewalk was unaccustomed to the water and soil, and he didn't eat anything, so he lay on the bed and couldn't move. It seemed that he had a high fever.

Lin Xie followed into the hall, saw Yuan Qi lying on the bed, and said: "My lord, what happened to Brother Yuan Qi?"

"Of course I'm sick."

Fuyi glanced at Lin Xie, told the servant to make medicine for him, and went out.

Seeing the prince going out, Lin Xie naturally understood that it was on purpose, so she just stepped forward and looked at Yuan Qi's sleeping face.

The man who is not as good as the weak crown, his fair face is now dyed with a light pink, which looks very cute.His face is not thin, but a little fleshy, which makes people want to go up and pinch it.

Lin Xie had seen enough, and then reached out to touch his face, and also backed out.

The next day, the county magistrate inquired about Qian Wushuang's uncle. His uncle happened to be returning to his hometown at this time, and he found someone without much effort and brought him to the prince.

Qian Qing is Qian Wushuang's only relative. He has not married a wife at this age. It seems that his family is poor. He only makes a living by selling things in the capital.

When this person saw the prince, he didn't show any fear, probably because this Fuyi was in his 20s and had a smile on his face, so naturally he didn't have any fear.

The prince only said: "What did the magistrate ask you, tell the truth."

"Yes." The man nodded and said with a nod, "my nephew arrived at Cao Min's on January [-]th. He stayed there for a few nights and then left. Cao Min thought he was going back. Why, no come back?"

It seems that he didn't even know that Qian Wushuang hadn't come back.

"Of course I didn't know where he was before asking you."

Qian Qing also felt strange, and said: "Caomin remembers that he said he was going back, and Caomin asked him to bring something to eat on the way."

Fuyi frowned, this is good, this person really disappeared.

Lin Xie was also speechless. It seemed that the case had reached an impasse.

Fuyi asked again: "Has he mentioned his sweetheart?"

"He still has a sweetheart?"

Qian Qing's eyes widened, too, in his opinion, it's not right that he has no money to marry a wife, but his nephew has a sweetheart.

Fuyi smiled and said: "Yes, it's Ji Hong's daughter, do you know her?"

How could this not be known? !Ji Hong is a well-known rich family in the local area, and his daughter is even more coveted by many people!His poor nephew actually fell in love with her?

Qian Qing's eyes widened in astonishment, as if he didn't believe what Fuyi said.

The county magistrate explained to him: "Ji Hong's daughter committed suicide because she fell in love with a man. The man was buried on the fifth day of March. That man was your nephew. You have been in the capital for a long time, so you probably don't know about it?"

Qian Qing immediately stood up, his eyes were wide open, his hands were full of veins, and he asked, "You said that daughter committed suicide because of my nephew?"

Seeing his reaction, Fuyi waved to the magistrate impatiently, and the magistrate tactfully took him away——

It seems that he is another person who has nothing to do with the case.

Obviously the method of committing the crime is very clear, but the relationship between them is still unclear. First, where did Qian Wushuang go?Why is it as if it has evaporated from the world, and there is no trace at all?Second, since the coffin was used to transport the things out, did Ji Hong know about it?If so, why do you do it?If not, then who is causing the chaos?

The man who was thought to be a lunatic has committed suicide, so naturally he did not steal. So, who is the thief?Did he bribe the servants of Ji Hong's family to help him pack things?

Fuyi shook her head, that's impossible, the county magistrate said that when the coffin was being moved, there were police officers watching.

So, if it is in the morning, the guards outside have already gone in to check the box, and then sneak in, put the things in the coffin, and then come out?

Fuyi frowned, it was too conspicuous, the guards were not blind, there was only one entrance to the tomb, how could they escape their eyes and enter?

Suddenly, something flashed through Fuyi's mind, and he jumped up immediately.

Lin Xie looked at the prince who was still pondering just now and immediately stood up, his eyes were still blurred, his hands were clutching his skirt, and he was muttering something.

Lin Xie listened closely and heard him clearly:

"When was the corpse shipped out?"

Lin Xie suddenly came to his senses, slapped his head, filled with regret.

He also forgot this detail!

If you want to put gold and jade into the coffin, then the corpse in the coffin must be transported out!Otherwise, how can it fit, after all, there are some clothes beside the corpse.

However, how to ship this out!How to enter the tomb in front of so many guards, and then transport the corpse out?

Lin Xie took a few steps back. If this is the case, it seems that this thief is extremely smart!
