Yu is dead.

Unexpected.

Hou Jiuhong's news arrived quickly, and Chao Muyun and Dali Temple officials were also the first group of people to arrive at the scene.

Still the same scene, the old and slightly decayed white boat, covered with white chrysanthemums, on the side of the boat, and on the body of the corpse, the clothes on her body are very familiar, the one she wore when Muyun saw her yesterday The autumn-colored dress looked clean and tidy, not dirty, but it was obvious that she hadn't changed it, and she might not have been home at all.

The face is also covered with a Supa, which is white and soft, the same as the previous two corpses.

Chao Muyun and Wu Zuo carefully inspected the traces on the corpse. The symptoms of poisoning and death were obvious. The state of the corpse was also the same as the previous two times. There was an obvious sense of fear on the expression. There was no trauma on the body, and there was no trace of struggle and resistance. And this time the teeth bite marks are very clear, on Yu's left forearm, there are two not wide but deep holes, not much bleeding, but there are slightly light purple marks.

If it was still a guess twice before, it is almost certain now that the murderer in this case used poisonous insects, and the traces are likely to be some kind of poisonous snakes.

The difference is the floating location of the little white boat.

The previous two innovation locations were calculated and estimated, probably near Jinwei’s dowry Zhuangzi and Jiang Xiangyu’s flower house. Every area where boats can sail is very suspicious, but this time is different. Probably the water flow is gentle and the wind direction is unfavorable. Without floating too far, anyone can easily conclude that it started from the river near the Jin family's ancestral grave.

The terrain of the Jin family's ancestral tomb has nothing to do with Jinwei Zhuangzi and Jiang Xiangyu's flower house. One east and one west, walking diagonally, the distance is very far.

The murderer changed the location of the killing...why?

When he was thinking, a figure came from a distance, with a slightly round figure, but his walking speed was quite fast, and his voice was even more thunderous, resounding: "Jing Zhaoyin is coming soon, why are you still here!"

Looking back towards Muyun, he saw that it was Li Huai: "The murder case happened again, I'm not here, where should I go?"

Li Huai stomped his feet, hating iron for being weak: "Why don't you understand! You said there was a murderer who committed serial crimes, but the current evidence no longer supports your inference. Look at the place where this boat is, which is obviously different from the first two. Similarly, it is really possible that the Yu family committed suicide, and Jing Zhaoyin will come to show off later, how do you deal with it?"

Chao Muyun slightly raised his eyes to look into the distance, still calmly said, "Do whatever you want."

"Why don't you understand! Dali Temple is a government office. It needs to solve cases and achieve political achievements, but it is also a government office. It needs face and style!"

Seeing that Li Huai refused to listen, he was furious: "I see that no matter what the truth is, the ending has already come out. Don't worry about this case, obediently admit defeat and hand it over to me!"

Zhao Muyun glanced at Li Huai, the other party was sweating, and his expression was full of anxiety. It was true that he was dissatisfied with him, but his desire to solve the case was also true.

"It's just that the location of the murder is different." Chao Muyun was still not in a hurry, and took his time. While sorting out his thoughts, he also gave the other party time to think. Chao Mou disagrees."

Li Huai did not criticize for no reason. On the way here, while hurrying, he quickly read the news that the officials found. I have the right to ask and look through it: "But these white chrysanthemums were bought by Mrs. Yu herself!"

"You also know that she went to the flower house of Jiang's family yesterday. She picked a lot of white chrysanthemums when she went there. When she went back, she thought it was not enough, so she picked some more from her daughter Jinwei Zhuangzi. There are so many white chrysanthemums, just enough to cover a boat. Nothing, just here, you said she wasn't prepared for you, who else could it be!"

Chao Muyun's eyes fell on the hillside: "The river here is next to the Jin family's ancestral grave."

Li Huai stared: "That's why I said, it's different from the previous two little white boats!"

"White chrysanthemums are used to pay homage, so why must it be me who prepares water burial for me?" Chao Muyun turned his head and looked at Li Huai, "The husband of the Yu family who died early, the head of the Jin family, died today."

Li Huai was stunned for a moment: "The date of death?"

Chao Muyun casually dug out the file and handed it to him: "Jin Boguan died in 33 years. Although his life was short and he had no achievements, everyone in the world can forget him, but not his wife and daughter. The day of his death is approaching." , to buy white chrysanthemums to pay homage to, to comfort the missing, is there anything wrong?"

Li Huai quickly read the information on the paper. He really ignored this point. He never expected that it would be the anniversary of the death of someone who had been dead for so many years: "But she waved away all the servants on the way home, and the servants said that she was in a strange mood. , seems very unhappy..."

"To pay homage to a husband who gave me pain and loneliness, didn't help me at all, and had to remember the memorial every year so that outsiders wouldn't pick me up. If you were the Yu family, would you be happy?"

"You can retreat without a witness..."

"It can only be said that she has an appointment with someone and doesn't want to be seen."

"Hahaha--"

The two were talking, and another person came from a distance. Regardless of his posture or voice, he was familiar and proud. It was Qu Caiying, Jing Zhaoyin's master: "It seems that I won this round. There is no such thing as a serial murder." , this is clearly still suicide."

When the enemy met, he was extremely jealous, Li Huai immediately forgot to look at Muyun, turned around and confronted him: "The exact same way of death, the exact same details, you must say suicide, your eyes are covered with shit!"

Qu Caiying narrowed her eyes: "Don't think that Jing Zhaoyin can't find the things you found in Dali Temple. These white chrysanthemums were bought by Mrs. Yu himself! The large quantities of purchases are just enough to cover the whole boat. There is no trace, everything is here, you say she is not prepared for yourself, who else can it be!"

Li Huai immediately took out the news file and slapped it: "Do you understand the anniversary of the death of your husband? Buying white chrysanthemums is not necessarily to commit suicide, but to pay homage to the dead! You don't understand, you can be a little more open-minded." , ask an ordinary person, it won't be so embarrassing!"

Qu Caiying was stunned for a moment, her face flushed red: "But when she swung her servants away, her mood was obviously depressed, and she seemed to commit suicide—"

"Bah! Paying homage to a man who saved a seed and then left. I can't help you at all, and you have to remember to kill a man with a thousand knives. Who can be happy!"

"Then why do you wave back—"

"It can only be said that Yu's murderer has an appointment! This murderer has a very high position and powerful wrists, allowing the deceased to help create space!"

Chao Muyun: ...

Master Li's performance not only used his words to turn the other party back, but also was so high-spirited and fierce that he directly made Qu Caiying speechless, not to mention the complete defeat of his arrogance and attitude, and lost all face and face.

After winning the quarrel, Li Huai felt refreshed, and after looking around with his hands behind his back, he drove Qu Caiying away, and he didn't stay.

He coughed twice, and looked at Mu Yun with a slightly awkward look: "I will give you this place, the case is well solved, I will go first, and the one surnamed Qu will come again, you don't have to worry about it, just ask someone to call me."

Chao Muyun cupped his hands politely: "So, thank you."

He could see that Li Huai's attitude towards him had softened, but it was only for now, and more would have to be seen later.

This person has a bad temper, and he values ​​his official career very much, but he will respect those who are truly capable. If he can show more and convince this person, Dali Temple will be a very friendly place.

Chao Muyun is not afraid of fighting, but if the team competes healthy and the atmosphere is comfortable, he will naturally be more satisfied.

A third identical corpse appeared, and the officials had already invited the family members of the deceased according to the regulations, and they all arrived at this moment.

When Chao Muyun turned around, he saw the juniors were kneeling and crying, all wiping away their tears, but their expressions were different.

"Mother... Mother... Why did you leave... What can I do if you leave..."

Jin Qianyi's eyes were red, and he was thinking about it, as if he was a little dazed. He didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, and he seemed to feel that it was no big deal if it happened. The phrase "what will I do if you die" is really sincere.

Jiang Lian knelt beside him and was crying to the people on the boat, but the expressions of crying and laughing were sometimes somewhat similar. Now she was weeping at the corners of her eyes, crying really, she looked very sad, her mouth The extent of putting aside everything, but it seems to be laughing.

It is very different from his father Jiang Yuandong's performance in front of the mourning hall.

Chao Muyun could understand this not-so-intentional crying, and without her mother-in-law, the backyard was the only thing in the house, which seemed to be an irresistible benefit for Jiang Lian.

Jin Wei also arrived, her crying was different from the previous two, she was silent, she didn't have a particularly excited expression, she just shed tears, sad is sad, but more sad, like letting go, Endings like understanding and knowing early, like things hurting others, seeing a farther self.

It's obviously far away here, and it doesn't even have much to do with him, but Jiang Xiangyu also came. He didn't kneel or cry, he just stood at a side angle, looking at Jin Wei's figure kneeling on the ground, with a faint expression in his eyes. There is pain and pity.

What he is sad is not the dead, but the people kneeling here.

Obviously his sister Jiang Lian was doing her best, she couldn't help crying, she needed to be taken care of and comforted, but he didn't seem to see it.

Everyone seems to be very busy today, and they came here neatly. The Qi family also arrived. Judging by her expression, one could tell that she was chasing after her daughter-in-law Jin Wei. It's a bit like worrying about your daughter-in-law running away and leaving her a widow in the Shi family, so you have to watch it.

She came here only, she didn't comfort her daughter-in-law Jin Wei, she didn't show any distress, she just stared at Jiang Xiangyu very unkindly.

Perhaps in his opinion, any move by this man is a temptation, or deliberately splashing dirty water.

Chao Muyun was amazed to see it, not talking about the confession, just watching the expressions and positions of a few people, it was an ethical drama.

It can be seen that the sick man has been tired for a long time and is a little tired. Hou Jiuhong coughed and stood up: "Tell me, where was everyone yesterday, what did you do, and when was the last time you saw Mrs. Yu?" , let me remind you, don't lie in front of the master, you will be rewarded!"

Erdangjia followed two cases before and after, and was instigated by the sick man to run around, and he also learned some questioning skills, quite decent.

"Others are crying so hard, they seem to be slowing down, Jiang Xiangyu, come first."

Jiang Xiangyu: "I was busy all day yesterday. The last time I saw Mrs. Yu was in front of my father's mourning hall. I don't know why she died here."

Hou Jiuhong: "So you have no enmity with her?"

Jiang Xiangyu nodded: "Yes."

"Then she's dead, why are you running so fast?" Hou Jiuhong snorted, "There's no need to be so anxious about mourning, right?"

Jiang Xiangyu glanced over Jin Wei, held back for a moment, and then said: "I have been questioned by the official, and I have nothing to do right now. This incident happened suddenly, and I suspect it has something to do with my father's death. I have hidden worries, so I came here." gone."

"No way," Hou Jiuhong has been running around these days. Don't know too much about some things, so he sneered immediately, "I see that you have a lot of things to do today. This point should be settled with the shopkeeper in the store? You If you're really worried about your dead father, you won't be running around with a white hanging at home."

Jiang Xiangyu: ...

Seeing that he didn't speak, Hou Jiuhong winked at Mu Yun, did you see that, he was really worried about someone, but he was worried not about his own father, but about his sweetheart, if Jin Wei wasn't here, would you see if he would come or not.

Master Jiu found the right breakthrough point!

The scene was quiet for a moment, Hou Jiuhong continued his efforts: "Do you know that there are white chrysanthemums planted on Jinwei Zhuangzi? She usually..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xiangyu closed his eyes and changed his eyes: "She deserves to die."

Hou Jiuhong: "Huh? What did you say?"

Jiang Xiangyu sneered: "Shouldn't a person like Yu deserve to die? A son is a child, but a daughter is not a child, and his own can be sent to the fire pit. He is harsh on his daughter, harsh on his daughter-in-law, and not so much on his son." Well, it looks good on the outside, but in fact, it is selfish, and all it does is for its own comfort and less trouble, which mother in the world is like her, shouldn't she die!"

Qi felt offended: "What is a fire pit? Who are you calling a fire pit?"

Jiang Xiangyu sneered even worse: "Isn't that dirty place in your house a fire pit?"

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Hou Jiuhong became even more excited, and they started fighting. This wave is about to expose themselves!

It's a pity that both of them didn't give him a chance, they just choked, and both of them turned off, very restrained.

Hou Jiuhongxiang felt sorry and stroked his chin: "It seems that you hate Mrs. Yu very much."

"Why can't you hate?" Jiang Xiangyu's lips tightened, "I think Dali Temple has already investigated my matter clearly, and it's useless for me to hide it any more."

Jin Wei, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled, tears burst into tears instantly, but she never looked back from the beginning to the end.

Jiang Xiangyu clenched his fists even tighter: "I didn't kill the person, but I do have hatred for her."

Hou Jiuhong glanced at the sick young man. The young master didn't give instructions, so he went down according to his own will: "Then you should also hate Shi Zhizhi? After all, this old thing is not a good product. Anyone dares to provoke him, even his daughter-in-law Never let go..."

Jin Wei bit her lip and covered her face with a handkerchief.

Jiang Xiangyu was suddenly angry, and stared at Hou Jiuhong: "A man is upright, even if he has a little sympathy, he shouldn't say something that pokes someone's heart at a time like this! Are you capable of bullying women!"

Hou Jiuhong spread his hands: "It's clear that someone else is bullying women. If you don't answer, I will continue to ask."

"People surnamed Shi are not good things, why can't you hate them!" Jiang Xiangyu gritted his teeth, "I really don't like him, so what, you want to arrest me for this and accuse me of killing someone!"

The Qi family felt offended again, and stared at Jiang Xiangyu: "Didn't you kill someone! Of course Shi Zhizhi is not a good thing, what is wrong with my son, you are a murderer, you have no conscience!"

Jiang Xiangyu: "I said it earlier, it was an accident! If I really committed murder, the government would have arrested me a long time ago. How can I still stand in front of you now!"

"That's because you have a high wrist, and you have fooled everyone! If it weren't for you, how could my son die!"

"I didn't do anything wrong! If he had a little more heart and eyes, he wouldn't be so dead!"

"you--"

"how do I!"

"Don't say it...don't even say it." Jin Wei took a deep breath, her voice hurt, "It doesn't make sense."

Jiang Xiangyu stopped abruptly, his fists clenched even tighter.

Hou Jiuhong said slowly, "You hate your father very much, don't you?"

Jiang Xiangyu shivered.

The hairs on his back counted down, his eyes became vigilant, and he felt a special sense of crisis.

Chao Muyun looked thoughtfully at Hou Jiuhong.

Hou Jiuhong immediately froze, his eyebrows were beaming, and his eyes all hinted: Dare to say such a thing, of course Jiuye has something to rely on!

Raise your eyebrows at Muyun, flick your hands forward slightly——keep acting, let me see what you're capable of.

Hou Jiuhong's surprise: I just heard the news, but I haven't come to tell you yet.

Chao Muyun continued to stretch out his hand: No problem, just be honest.

Hou Jiuhong was even more excited, staring at Jiang Xiangyu sharply: "You are an illegitimate child."

Jiang Xiangyu's eyes shook.

Hou Jiuhong: "No matter how well the Jiang family's speech is packaged, you are not a child who was born and raised in expectation. You are like a weed, or to put it more harshly, you are raised at will like a wild dog. Even the surname Jiang is not worthy, and you have no name or surname in the ancestral house of your hometown. Outsiders mentioned it as a "distant branch". If it wasn't for Jiang Yuandong's bad luck, there was a fire, and so many people died at home, you would never be taken back. .”

"Even if you are taken to the capital, Jiang Yuandong still keeps you under strict control. He won't let you do this or that. If you are picked on by others, he will punish you for not doing well. Outsiders said Wake up, you are his only son left, he gave you everything and loves you extremely, but in fact he is dissatisfied with you everywhere, thinks you are lowly, worthless, unworthy to be his son, and always blames you, he will do anything else If you go all the way, you won't choose to support you."

"He can pick out dozens of problems with your basic necessities of life, your temper and habits, let alone your marriage, whether you like it or not, he will never support you and encourage you, will he?"

Hou Jiuhong took a step forward: "He never gave you any paternal love and warmth. He has been exploiting and taking away the little things you have left. Don't you hate him?"

Jiang Xiangyu closed his eyes: "Since the words have come to this point, there is no need to say more. Dali Temple suspects that I am the murderer, so please show evidence."

"Tsk, don't cooperate," Hou Jiuhong said, "Then I can only invite you to Dali Temple to talk."

The government's promotion of key suspects is not considered jail time, and it does restrict personal freedom. Before the case is solved, they cannot be released easily.

Jiang Xiangyu didn't say a word, even turned around by himself, and followed Zao Li away.

Just before leaving, he took a deep look in Jin Wei's direction.

I couldn't see clearly because Mrs. Qi suddenly stood in front of Jin Wei and gave him a hard look.

Jin Wei didn't speak all the time, she was indifferent, but her expression... was much richer.

Hou Jiuhong dealt with Jiang Xiangyu. The son and daughter-in-law who were kneeling on the ground hadn't finished crying. If this went on forever, he gestured to Chao Muyun and pulled the two of them aside. , Interrogate yesterday's timeline.

Chao Muyun looked at Jin Wei who had adjusted her emotions and restrained herself: "When was the last time you saw your mother?"

"Yesterday afternoon," Jin Wei closed her eyes, "my father's death day is coming soon, I went to ask her for arrangements, before I reached the door of the house, I met her halfway, she said that I am a married woman, and all the rules and etiquettes have been reached in previous years, This year coincides with the death of my father-in-law, so it is important to observe filial piety here, so there is no need to go to the funeral ceremony at the grave."

"Only these?"

"Yes, that's all."

Chao Muyun looked at Jin Wei: "You hate your mother?"

Jin Wei looked at the silent people on the little white boat, her lips were slightly pursed, and she didn't speak.

"You know she has done a lot for you, and you want to be grateful, but you can't help but hate, right?"

"……Yes."

Chao Muyun asked again: "Your mother has been working hard for something recently, do you know?"

Jin Wei lowered her eyes: "I don't know."

"But you know for whom."

"There is no second one she really cares about."

It's just the man in the family, the elder brother who supports the lintel.

Chao Muyun was thoughtful: "How good is your relationship with your brother?"

"How can you count as a good relationship, and how can it be a bad relationship?" Jin Wei's eyes are light, like the surface of a river in early winter, which has not frozen, but is bone-chillingly cold. "The details of the past must be found in the official uniform. Adults can judge for themselves."

Chao Muyun: "You and Jiang Lian used to be handkerchief friends, and you had a very good relationship when you were young, but it seems that you haven't had much contact with each other in recent years."

Jin Wei: "People have to grow up, and each has his own life, so let's not mention the past."

"Have you asked enough?" Mrs. Qi seemed a little impatient, and tapped the crutch in his hand, "What does the affairs of the Jin family have to do with us people with foreign surnames!"

Looking at her, Chao Muyun suddenly said a name: "Do you know Zhan Shuyi?"

Qi Shi was startled, as if he didn't hear clearly: "Who are you talking about...?"

But Chao Muyun knew that she heard it, and she heard it very clearly.

It seems that this man buried in time is not that far away from this case.
