I was reborn with amnesia and was picked up by Lao Gong

The inside of Jia's mansion is the same as the outside, looking magnificent, but inside there is only an empty shell.There were a few wooden benches scattered in the lobby, which should be full of tables and chairs, and they were still covered with dust. It must have been cleaned very little before the Jias and his wife were taken away.

After Fu'er let the two sit down, she went to the kitchen to prepare tea with a smile.Ning Cheng wanted to follow, but was stopped by Feng Shu.

"Let's look around for any suspicious places first."

Ning Cheng was right when he thought about it, but he felt a little embarrassed that he treated you as a guest, but you searched his house without authorization—of course, there was nothing he could do to solve the case.

After the two made an appointment to search each side, they began to inspect.Ning Cheng was in charge of the east side, where there were only three rooms, which were the bedroom of the Jia couple, the study room, and the bedroom of Mrs. Jia.The study room was empty, presumably the books had been exchanged for money.

Mrs. Jia's bedroom is filled with the smell of medicine, and there are two mattresses, one big and one small.The smaller one, with the little girl's clothes laid out, should belong to Fu'er.

The Jia family's bedroom is the largest, and there is a wooden shaker next to the bed, and there is a white and tender little doll sleeping in it, which must be the "baby egg" in Fu'er's mouth.

The little baby slept soundly, its mouth opened and closed, and a little saliva flowed out.

Ning Cheng looked at it for a while, but found nothing suspicious, so he gently closed the door and walked back to the lobby.

Feng Shu and Fu'er were already there, and there was an extra woman, chatting with Feng Shu.

Seeing Ning Cheng come back, Fuer seemed relieved, immediately patted the place beside her, and said, "Big brother is so slow, Fuer has been waiting for you for a long time."

Ning Cheng glanced at Fu'er, and saw that she had a bun in her hand, presumably it was brought by that woman.

As soon as he sat down, he heard Feng Shu say: "Sister-in-law Song, you said that you and Mrs. Jia are close, so you must know what happened to Jia's family, right?"

The woman's complexion was a little yellow, she was wearing simple cloth clothes, and there was a small bundle in her arms.

She gave Ning Cheng a quick look, as if confirming his identity as an officer, then cleared her throat and began to talk.

According to Mrs. Song, the Jia family used to be rich, but after Mr. Jia passed away, Jia Shusheng didn't know how to do business, and he didn't want to make progress. Running around the Luan Pavilion, he just squandered the large amount of silver that Master Jia had obtained in exchange for his business.

Seeing her son's promiscuousness and the gradual decline of Jia's family, Mrs. Jia couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Half a year ago, when Mrs. Jia was arguing with Jia Shusheng, she was furious and rushed to her heart. Coupled with her age, she actually had a stroke, her body was paralyzed, and she couldn't even speak.

After Mrs. Jia fell ill, Mrs. Jia had to work for a wealthy family in order to buy medicine for the old lady, and she also met Mrs. Song there.

Since Jia's family was originally wealthy, Mrs. Jia now shows up in public as a servant, and she often receives supercilious looks.

She once cried to Mrs. Song in private that she married a useless prodigal son, and if it wasn't for the sake of her two children, she would have left Jia's mansion long ago.

That Jia Shusheng originally wanted to sell the mansion and use the land deed for some money to raise those Yingying and Yanyan, but he had to compromise under the pressure of the old lady Jia to die, and huddled in the house like a rice bug, waiting. Supported by his own daughter-in-law.

The old lady Jia died inexplicably that day. In order not to let others gossip that he was mad at his mother, Jia Shusheng actually said that his wife had poisoned the medicine, and directly reported it to the government, and then both were arrested in Tianyi prison awaiting trial.

After Mrs. Jia was taken away, Mrs. Song was worried that the two young children would be left unattended, so she set aside some time every day to visit Jia's mansion.

After hearing Mrs. Song's words, Ning Cheng's hands were clenched into fists, and his teeth were clenched.

That Jia Shusheng is so shameless!

The reason why Jia's mansion is so messy is probably because Mrs. Jia wakes up early and works late every day, unable to take care of family affairs, and Jia Shusheng, who stays at home with nothing to do, unexpectedly lets go.

Thinking of the case record that Jia Shusheng suspected that his wife was having an affair with other men and intentionally killed Mrs. Jia, etc., Ning Cheng felt very angry.

Feng Shu at the side glanced at Ning Cheng, beckoned him to calm down, and then asked Mrs. Song, "In the three days before and after Mrs. Jia's death, who else has been in and out of Jia's mansion besides you?"

Mrs. Song said: "Probably not. This Jia's mansion is in decline now, and it's located in a remote place. If I wasn't worried about Sister Jia's child, I wouldn't come here."

"Then, have moths ever appeared near Jia's mansion?"

Feng Shu asked tactfully, he didn't want to directly say the name of the skeleton moth, so as not to frighten Mrs. Song.

Mrs. Song shook her head, her face was full of confusion: "I didn't notice, what happened to the moth?"

Feng Shu said: "It's okay, just ask casually."

He stood up and said, "Thank you Mrs. Song for clarifying the confusion, Fengmou will leave first."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Ning Cheng hurriedly stood up, but the corner of his clothes was caught.

He turned his head and saw Fu'er pouted, asking, "Big Brother, are you leaving now? Won't you stay with Fu'er?"

She looked a little aggrieved, her beautiful little face was wrinkled into a ball, like a pitiful little white rabbit.

Before Ning Cheng could answer, Mrs. Song hastily picked up Fu'er and coaxed, "Fu'er is good, the adults are here to investigate the case, it's inconvenient to play with Fuer, just let Mrs. Song accompany you. "

Fu'er seemed a little reluctant, but she nodded obediently and said, "Brother, go slowly, remember to come and play with Fu'er when you have time."

Ning Cheng smiled, patted Fu'er's head, and said, "Brother will come to see you when he is free."

Feng Shu on the side coughed lightly and said, "Let's go."

Ning Cheng hurriedly said, "Come right away!"

He took out all the peanuts in his arms and stuffed them into Fu'er's palm. After saying goodbye to Mrs. Song, he left Jia's mansion with Feng Shu.

After that, Ning Cheng and Feng Shu successively visited the residents in several nearby streets, but they didn't gain much, and the information they got was almost the same as what Mrs. Song said. struggling.

The two then exchanged their investigations in Jia's mansion, but they did not find any valuable clues.

The old lady Jia was obviously poisoned to death by the skeleton moth, but how did an old man who had been ill for a long time and was unable to move come into contact with the moths in the Wanren Mountains?

The clues here in the Jia family are broken.At Feng Shu's suggestion, the two went to the Library Pavilion in Wangyun Palace to search for information about the skeleton moth.

The name of the Zangshu Pavilion is also quite simple and rude, it is directly called "Zangshu Pavilion". After seeing it, Ning Cheng still complained in his heart for a long time.

The residences of Fengpan and Yuepan are "Fengyue Palace", the residences of Huapan and Xuepan are called "Huaxue Palace", the residence of military envoys is nominated "Wudian", and Zangshuge is directly called "Zangshuge"...

How lazy is the person who named it?Why isn't the Liyang Hall, where the Lord of Xiayun Palace lives, just called "Xiayun Palace"?

Thinking about it, of course Ning Cheng would not ask such an impolite question.He watched Feng Shu walk to the center of the Library Pavilion, then spread his hands flat and closed his eyes to recite the formula.

In the sound of Feng Shu's chanting, the surrounding bookcases trembled slightly, and then dozens of golden lights swept up, bringing out several books and scrolls from the cabinet, and stacked them neatly in Feng Shu's hands.

Ning Cheng was amazed, but right now it's important to do business.He silently memorized those spells, intending to practice them later when he has a chance.

"These are the classics related to the skeleton moth in the Library Pavilion."

Ning Cheng stepped forward and shared half of the books.The two of them held the pile of books and scrolls, placed them on the desk beside them, and began to classify them.

Almost all of those scrolls were painted in the shape of a skeleton moth, indicating the color and characteristics of this evil thing.

The appearance of that strange moth was very similar to the one Ning Cheng had seen in Lanyan Hall, only the details were slightly different.

It looks the same as a common moth, except that there are thin white fluffs on its abdomen, forming a terrifying skull-shaped mark.

There are many kinds of books. There are dossiers that seriously describe the habits of the moths, and there are also lists that record Sulan City being poisoned by the moths in the past hundred years, and many more are compiled according to the legends of the moths.

Ning Cheng remembered that Feng Shu seemed to like reading story books, so he offered to say that he was in charge of the dossier and roster, and asked Feng Shu to read those story books.

Ning Cheng looked at the thick stacks of files for a long time, but all of them were written over and over again, "there is a skull mark in the belly of the sly moth", "whoever encounters the sly moth will die from its poison within three days, and the mark of a skeleton will appear on the back", "Sly moths are afraid of the sun, and hide in the tombs during the day" and other worthless information.

Ning Cheng checked repeatedly, and after confirming that there were no clues, he turned to record the roster that was killed by the skeleton moth.

"Chang Ge, eighteen years old, the son of the owner of the Chang family's pawnshop. The girl he admired called him a coward. To prove his bravery, he went to the graveyard for one night, and returned home the next day and died."

"Yao Wu, 36 years old, a sugar man peddler. He broke into the grave when he was drunk, and his body was found by grave sweepers the next day."

"Shang Yu, 72 years old, unemployed. After bickering with his concubine, he went out and took a walk near Wanren Mountain. When he returned home, there was no abnormality. Two days later, he died suddenly in the bedroom..."

——What kind of messed-up reason is this? Sure enough, only those who die will die.

In fact, the poison of the cunning moth is all on the fluorescent green phosphor powder. As long as you cover your face with cloth strips, do not inhale the phosphor powder into your mouth and nose, and clean up your clothes, you will not die from poisoning.But these people didn't do that by nature. They all knew that there were tigers in the mountains, and they preferred to travel on the mountains.

Ning Cheng rolled his eyes and continued to watch patiently.Feng Shu looked at him, smiled slightly, and buried his head in the pile of books.

The two of them stayed in Zangshu Pavilion for the whole afternoon, until it was getting dark, Ning Cheng didn't find out why.

"The ages of the deceased ranged from 16 to 80 years old, and they had nothing in common except that they were all men."

Ning Cheng was a little discouraged.He pressed his sore neck and put those books back into place one by one.

"The old lady Jia who died this time was a woman. Generally, old and weak women and children would not hang around near the cemetery late at night. Therefore, it is not surprising that the victims were all men."

Hearing what Feng Shu said, Ning Cheng sighed again, looking depressed.He looked at the dark night sky outside the window and suddenly remembered something.

"This skeleton moth only appears at night, but the victims are ordinary people who cannot hold a curfew order. Could it be that the curfew order does not include the Wanren Mountains?"

Feng Shu said: "Indeed it does not include. The curfew order is mainly to protect the safety of the city residents, and there are no people on the Wanren Mountain. Before Yue Han took office, the night patrol manpower was limited, so the Wanren Mountain Cemetery was not included. Within curfew."

Ning Cheng said: "The Jia mansion just now is less than three miles away from the Wanrenshan cemetery. If someone ran to the cemetery at night, caught a few skeleton moths and returned quietly, wouldn't they trigger the candle cage guards?"

He remembered what Xuehua had said during the previous interrogation that a candle cage had a monitoring range of about five miles, and if someone ran out of the curfew range at the right time, it was indeed possible not to violate the curfew.

Feng Shu nodded slightly, and said: "That's true. I read the script just now, and saw some very interesting speculations."

Hearing this, Ning Cheng glanced at the stack of scripts and asked, "What do you think?"

Feng Shu said: "A certain storybook says, "The monk muttered, and several golden spider webs appeared in the air instantly, covering the skeleton moths, and they were all turned into dust in a short while." "

Ning Cheng smiled and said, "This is just an idea that ordinary people who have never learned spells would come up with. In fact, how could this tricky moth be bound by the Golden Net Curse?"

The spell described in the storybook is the Golden Net Curse, but this golden net is mainly used to trap spirits or beast-shaped monsters. Although the gaps between the silk nets are not too big, they can't trap the flying moths.

Feng Shu smiled and said: "Not necessarily. The poison of the skeleton moth is all on the phosphorous powder. If a person who is good at spells casts an enchantment on himself, the moth cannot touch people, so naturally it cannot poison it. On the other hand, if the number of Sly Moths is rare, directly hitting the enchantment on Sly Moths can also lock it inside."

Ning Cheng was stunned when he heard the "Boundary Enchantment Technique". After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then the caster will not be able to touch the moth, so how can he bring it to Jia's mansion to commit murder?"

Feng Shu said: "This method is indeed not feasible, but in the future investigations will inevitably go to the Wanren Mountains. It is safer to use the enchantment technique as a defense than covering the face with a cloth."

Hearing this, Ning Cheng nodded and wrote it down.
