The workshop was full of noise, wood, paint buckets, and semi-finished coffins were piled up in the room, and it was difficult to find a place to stop.The air is filled with a strong smell of raw lacquer, occasionally mixed with a few wisps of strange aroma.Four or five men were running around in a hurry like ants on a hot pot. Uncle Wu stood in front of a vermilion lacquered coffin, sometimes slamming the coffin boards, and sometimes poking his fingers at the men with all his might, watching. With this posture, one can tell that someone has been scolded seriously.

As he got closer, Pan Pan's eyes were all attracted by the luxurious coffin in front of him.It's really awesome!It was taken out of a whole round wooden barrel. Under the vermilion paint, there is no seam at all. How many years does it take for the tree to grow so thick... The intricate carvings on the body of the coffin are even more breathtaking.Surrounded by the "Crane and Deer Picture in the Stele Hall", the green pines and cypresses and the red-topped and white-feathered cranes are vividly depicted, which means that the pine and the crane prolong the life.The coffin lid is densely corrugated, and the mountain scenery and clouds are engraved on it, implying that "good fortune and longevity are like mountains and seas".What's even more strange is that the vague fragrance just now came from this coffin... The nanmu coffin is really extraordinary, she suddenly realized.

"I found it! I found it!" The cat in the corner shouted excitedly at a guy, "'Children Nail' is here!"

"Bring it to me quickly!" Uncle Wu said urgently, took it and counted it, and suddenly changed his expression, "Why are there only six? One is short. Third son, Xiao Wu, go to the cabinet and look again, look See if any fall!"

Zhan Zhao's expression froze, and Pan Pan was shocked from ear to ear the moment he saw "Children Nail".She touched her bosom subconsciously: It's still short, where is it with me...

"I can't find it, Uncle Wu." The third son and the fifth boy had already moved the cabinet out and turned it upside down.

"Forget it, forget it, I'll go back to the warehouse and get another one to go with it." Uncle Wu stomped his feet and cursed, "A bunch of bastards, no one is smart, they can't keep everything."

The guy named Sanzi showed aggrieved expression, and argued in a low voice: "Uncle Wu, the longevity material was laid a month ago, and it was called 'zisun nail'. It was Lai Ziqi who went to pick it up and put it away. We don't know where he put his things, and we can't find them to ask..."

"Hey, you're making sense!" Wu Boyi became angry, "I sent a message ten days ago to send someone to pick it up tomorrow. I should have checked whether the accessories are complete a few days ago. They are all things that are in a hurry at the door. I just cleaned it up today, luckily there are still two pairs left in the storeroom. Otherwise, it would be too late to fight now!"

Lai Ziqi!Sure enough, this kid couldn't get away with it. He actually went to Laofeng's shop to work, but he was the one who touched nails. Once he left, one was missing on this end, and Zhang Ren's unlucky guy added one... Pan Pan He rolled his eyes, focused his attention, and stepped forward to persuade him: "Uncle Wu, don't be so arrogant, isn't this a lucky match? The fire will hurt your body."

The third son and the fifth son next to him nodded in agreement in a hurry.

Wu Bo slowed down a bit, and then said to Pan Pan: "You two brothers, take a look here. If you don't understand anything, you can ask the third son and the fifth son. The old man is in a hurry to go to the warehouse."

"Hey, you're busy, you're busy." Watching Uncle Wu leave the workshop, Pan Pan came closer to the high-end coffin with a lot of questions.

"Brother, what is the use of the 'offspring nails' you just mentioned? Why is it so long?" Seeing that the third son beside him had a handsome face and a kind expression, she decided to dig him out.

The third son turned his head and replied: "'Success nails' means 'suppressing nails'. There is a lot of attention to it. If you nail it well, it will not only prosper wealth, but also protect your descendants. The ordinary longevity material 'suppressing nails' is only about three inches long. This pair of gold is expensive, made of fragrant nanmu for more than three hundred years, and the material is thick and solid. Well, those nails that are almost broken will break when they are hammered."

Pan Pan clicked his tongue when he heard this, and asked curiously, "Isn't it enough to nail the nails firmly? Is there anything else good?"

As soon as the words came out, not only the third son, but also the guys beside him couldn't hold back their joy.Xiao Wu laughed and said, "Can this 'offspring nail' still be nailed firmly? The last one to seal the coffin can only be nailed in half, and it's all nailed to death. It's to make people cut off their children and grandchildren."

Pan Pan felt ashamed, laughed twice and was speechless.

Zhan Zhao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly took up the conversation: "I said Brother Sanzi, how do you calculate the wages here? Do you care about food and lodging?"

The black line on Pan Pan's forehead was reborn, why is this guy so stupid?Do you want to earn some extra money like us?But it's no wonder, the annual salary of the police in our county-level public security system is only six taels of silver, so how can he be paid as a security guard...

The third son replied: "One month and a half hangs the money, lunch and dinner are taken care of twice, the residence is ignored, and the host will give some food and clothing during the holidays."

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "That's okay. When I was about to come in, Uncle Wu said that the salary was not high. Just now you said that some people quit their jobs. I thought the boss was very harsh."

Xiao Wu frowned when he heard this, put down his painting work, and replied, "You mean Lai Ziqi? He is a lazy master, and he doesn't say goodbye, and his boss will have to drive him away within two days."

"That's right, that kid is good at gambling, earning two wages is not enough for him to go to Fuguifang." The third son took the words and said.

"If that's the case, why did the boss keep him?" Zhan Zhao asked casually.

"Our apprentices have come and gone a lot. The master doesn't bother with it. Uncle Wu has the final say. It's strange to say that Wu Bote is a shrewd person. Why did he accept a rogue to come in? Because of this kid, he was restrained by the master. Have a meal." The third son said again.

Everyone chatted for a while, and it was getting late, Pan and Zhan hurriedly took advantage of this to say goodbye and get away.

"Amitabha, I finally figured out where the nail came from. Now that the evidence is complete, I will tell the county magistrate tomorrow and let him sign the lottery to get the person. I'm not afraid that the son will not recruit." Pan Pan yawned, showing signs of fatigue. .Counting from visiting Zhang's mansion last night, to cleaning the garden early, opening the coffin with Liu Qing for an autopsy, and then searching for the whereabouts of the spikes, she has not closed her eyes for the first hour. She secretly prayed that the case would be closed as soon as possible Well, let's have a few days of comfort.

"This case is still strange." Zhan Zhao said thoughtfully.

"What's wrong?" Pan Pan was startled, and the strings in his mind that had just been loosened suddenly became tense again, and he couldn't help but slow down and wait for the next article.

"One is that these long nails are rare, and ordinary people don't know what to use them for. How could Lai Ziqi choose them as a murder weapon on a sudden whim? Just now the third son mentioned that in the past ten years, their shop can use seven-inch 'offspring nails'. There are only three longevity materials. But this Lai Ziqi entered the shop as a clerk at this juncture, and even took nails away... The second thing is that Lai Ziqi and Yang Shi have been ambiguous for a long time, without telling Zhang Ren, they have been with each other for three years It's safe and sound, so why do you want to get rid of him suddenly? If you break through the gun and commit an attack, you must be hasty, how can you plan so carefully?" Zhan Zhao analyzed slowly.

After listening to Zhan Zhao's words, she couldn't help but feel admiration: I can't see... Is there a lot of depth in her thinking... She was a little stunned and said: "People say 'the most poisonous woman's heart', so Yang is not willing to marry Zhang. Ren, it's not necessarily true that if you push Lai Ziqi to harm your husband..." Then he waved his hand, sighed and said, "This woman, her mind is like that needle in the sea, what is she thinking all day long? You don't want to figure it out! Once your brain is hot, there is nothing you can’t do.”

Zhan Zhao clasped his hands, and slowly swayed to stand in front of her. The saliva splashing here was so exciting that he almost bumped into him again... "Hey! Are you a crab? You can't walk properly..." She yelled, and hit him again with her hand on the shoulder.

Zhan Zhao didn't take it seriously, he took a punch with a smile, and said narrowly, "How old are you? You can't tell, but you have a lot of insight into women's thoughts."

Pan Pan's chest was throbbing violently, and he thought regretfully: Damn it!What did we say?Fortunately, this fake face on his face is solid... He replied with a guilty conscience: "Hey, what about this... It's not really true, I usually listen to the nonsense of the third class brothers."

"Oh... oh..." Zhan Zhao made a look of sudden realization, "So that's how it is."

A certain person became more and more frantic, wanting to rush up and pinch his neck to make him shut up.Suddenly remembered something, stomped his feet and exclaimed: "Oh! Oh!"

The Nan Xia was taken aback by surprise: "What's wrong?"

"I forgot one important thing!" Pan Pan said excitedly.

"what's up?"

"Last night, Lai Ziqi left after staying at Yang's for a short time, and Yang still has a scholar in hiding!"

Zhan Zhao frowned, and asked in surprise, "Could it be that Mrs. Yang still has an affair with that scholar?"

"En, um." Pan Pan nodded again and again, "I heard a few words from them, it seems that the scholar knows about Yang Shi and Lai Ziqi, but these two people are ambiguous, Lai Ziqi must be kept in the dark."

"How could this be..."

"Do you know who that scholar is?" Pan Pan spoke quickly, "I met you this morning at the county office sweeping the garden. He is the wife and brother of our county magistrate! You were the boss of the Chunfeng Building!"

"This case is getting more and more difficult." Zhan Zhao pondered for a moment and said.

"Then what should we do next?" She stared at Zhan Zhao, Babaer asked.

Zhan Zhao shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Naturally, it depends on the ability of your magistrate. Slow down on your feet..." The tone of the last sentence was very soft, and at the end he raised his elbows, and with a graceful rise and fall, he jumped several feet away Far.

"What do you mean... It's not authentic to say half of it and leave the other half..." Pan Pan was confused by the case, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "What did you just whisper? Slow down..."

Only half of the word "slow" was said, and the whole person rushed to the ground quickly when his feet were empty.Crouching half-body, kneeling on one knee, the weird starting shape was maintained for a few seconds, a rare animal slowly stood up, and cast murderous eyes not far away... It's horrible!The sound is so low, and they are still jumping far away, obviously wanting to see our jokes.

"Are you doing it on purpose?" Pan Pan gritted his teeth.

"I reminded you." Zhan Zhao tried his best to hold back his smile.

"Didn't you hear that? It took a lot of effort to help us?" She was confident.

Zhan Zhao shook his head, and said solemnly: "From before, I saw you walking and wrestling every day, how could I stay by your side every time? It's really impossible not to have a long memory."

Pan Pan angered: Who do you think you are?She actually taught us a lesson... Isn't this the road that is not good, the road is rough, and there is no car for a long distance... She suddenly missed eating instant noodles for 30 days in the first month of work, and she saved it from her teeth That Giant electric donkey is here... Our Baoju, it's [-]% new!Now I don't know whose hands it fell into... She was full of complaints.

The two turned back home, and Pan Pan, who had been running around for half a day, was physically and mentally exhausted, so he ate a bowl of steamed buns hastily, and fell asleep on the bed.Over there, Nan Xia, Bao Gong and Gongsun combined the case and discussed the case secretly. They all felt that Wang Qingshan's wife and brother were very suspicious.

"My lord, the county magistrate Wang Qingshan will arrest Lai Ziqi and bring him to justice tomorrow. Why don't his subordinates go to listen and go to the Chunfeng Building to find out about his wife and younger brother?" Zhan Zhao volunteered.

"No." Bao Gong waved his hand, "The day before yesterday you and Lai Ziqi had an argument in the Chunfeng Tower, which inevitably attracted attention."

Gongsun Ceshu nodded: "Yes, my lord has thought carefully. It is really not suitable for Zhanwei to go to Chunfeng Tower again. If Wang Qingshan's wife and brother are involved in the case, they may startle the snake. It is better for the students to visit."

"That's fine. Tomorrow, the Japanese government will work with you to see how the magistrate Wang solves the case."

"My lord, sir, what about my subordinates? Could it be possible to let Zhan Zhao stay in the room and not go out?" When Zhan Zhao heard that Bao Zheng and Gongsun were going to do it himself, he was a little anxious.

"My lord, look at this cat in a hurry!" Gongsun Ce clapped his hands and smiled.

Baogong smiled slightly, and said, "Of course not. There is one more thing about guard Zhan, which is the most important thing, and you must do it."

"My lord, please clarify!" Zhan Zhao cupped his fists and said loudly.

"Your Excellency, what you mean is...you have to be wronged and guard Zhan to stay in Laofeng's store as a staff for two days."

"That's right. This birthday material shop is weird, and all the coincidences come from it. The guard Zhan should pay more attention to it."

"Don't worry, my lord, the subordinates will do their best."
