Chen Chaoyan glanced at the handkerchief in her hand again, and couldn't help saying maliciously: "This handkerchief was found under Wu Qiang's body."

Wen Xing let go instantly.

As the handkerchief fell, Chen Chaoyan quickly caught it.

Wen Xing looked at the handkerchief, took two deep breaths, and asked seriously, "Are you sure the handkerchief was found under Wu Qiang's body?"

Chen Chaoyan nodded, "The two brothers can testify."

Wen Xing looked back at the yamen servant, then grabbed her hand and walked quickly towards Mrs. Song.

Mrs. Song was old and it was already late at night. After waiting for a while and seeing Chen Chaoyan come back, she returned to the carriage under the persuasion of the two women.

The carriage stopped in an open space three feet away from Wu's home.Not far from the open space, there is a bamboo forest.

Deep in the bamboo forest.

The jade-faced young master is leaning on the bamboo, shaking the jade-bone landscape fan lightly, wantonly and calmly.

Chong Lou stood behind him with his sword in his arms, still with a cold face.

Lingyou held a slender bamboo branch in his mouth, leaned on the bamboo, looked at Chen Chaoyan who was being dragged towards this direction through the gap, and hummed intentionally: "Just go inside and find the murderer, right? It’s already clear at a glance if there is real ability.”

Chong Lou didn't look sideways: "Is there any real ability, what does it have to do with you?"

"I knew you couldn't afford to lose," Lingyou continued to groan, "I found her first at Xiaoshanting in the afternoon, and she was also the first one I recommended at Song Mansion just now, do you think it has something to do with me? "

"So what?" Chonglou still didn't look sideways, "It was indeed you who discovered her first, but it was Young Master who first saw that she was investigating the case. It was Young Master who asked you to follow her to see how far she can go. Far. If there is a relationship, it is also related to the young master!"

Lingyou spit out thin bamboo branches, and snorted coldly: "You are just jealous of my discerning eyes."

Lingquan squinted at him, "Do you believe this?"

Just as Lingyou was about to refute, Young Master Yumian reminded, "Here we come."

Lingyou immediately glared at Chonglou, and then quickly looked outside the bamboo forest.

Wen Xing brought Chen Chaoyan to the carriage, looked coldly at Song Ma, endured her fear, took the silk handkerchief in her hand, and said loudly: "Old lady, the murderer has been found, it is Song Ma, this is the murderer." Evidence that she landed here!"

The moment Mama Song saw the handkerchief, she was like falling into an ice cave.Hearing her words again, my legs softened.Kneeling down on the ground, she shouted with ashen face: "Old madam..."

Mrs. Song's expression was flat, "Tell me, why did this handkerchief fall here?"

"handkerchief……"

Just as Mama Song was about to explain, Chen Chaoyan interjected, "Have you finished investigating what I asked you to investigate?"

Wen Xing nodded, and looked at Mrs. Song again.Seeing that Mrs. Song didn't stop her, she replied: "It was Zhao San who first discovered the water, that is the one in front. He said that when he got up at night, he saw the bright house here, so he went around curiously and saw that it was After getting out of the water, I hurried back to call someone."

"He called almost all the people in the village over. After everyone worked together to put out the fire, they all retreated outside in fear when they saw the miserable state of Wu's mother and son."

"Soon afterward, Master Zhou came over."

Chen Chaoyan glanced at Master Zhou who was watching coldly, "Who reported the case?"

Wen Xing shook his head.

"It was reported by the watchman." Lord Zhou said proactively, "The watchman saw the fire here, so he ran to the yamen to report it, and it happened that the officer was still asleep, so he brought the yamen servants over."

Chen Chaoyan asked casually: "When did Zhao San discover the fire?"

Wen Xing replied: "On the second watch."

Chen Chaoyan silently calculated the time period of the second watch, and then asked: "What time is the second watch?"

"Around the second quarter of Haishi," Wen Xing said, "the fire is extinguished between the fifth and sixth quarters of Haishi."

Haishi is from 09:30 to 10:30 in the evening, the second quarter of Haishi is [-]:[-], and between the fifth and sixth quarters of Haishi is between [-]:[-] and [-]:[-].

After Chen Chaoyan silently converted it to the hour system, she motioned for her to continue.

"Wu's mother and son's home is a little far from the village. Normally, Wu Qiang would come to Song's house to look for our son at dawn, and Wu would go to the city to do her shady business." Wen Xing pouted, "I asked a few times. Personally, they all said that Wu's mother and son didn't have much contact with the villagers, but occasionally, Wu would buy some melons, fruits and snacks to distribute to them. Other than that, they didn't know anything about it."

"What's the shady business?" Chen Chaoyan asked.

Wen Xing said shamelessly, "Being a prostitute."

Chen Chaoyan couldn't help frowning.

If Mrs. Wu is a prostitute, then the interpersonal relationship will be a bit complicated.

Mr. Zhou's threat is still vivid in his memory, and it is impossible for Mrs. Song to give her more time to investigate slowly.

Therefore, we can only temporarily abandon this clue and start from the time of the fire and the cause of death.

Chen Chaoyan looked at the two central scenes, and slowly calculated: "Zhao San discovered the fire at the second quarter of Haishi, and to achieve the brightness he said, the fire must be fully burned. It will take at least a moment to fully burn. In other words, the time when the fire actually started was the quarter of the hour of Hai.”

"Both bodies have been carbonized, but the carbonization is not serious. The fire started at [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], which is about the right time."

Looking away, Chen Chaoyan asked Wen Xing again, "Have you asked the people in the village when did you meet Wu's mother and son today?"

"The others didn't ask, but they did ask Zhao San. Zhao San said that at the beginning of Youshi, when he came back from the field, he saw Wu's mother and son eating." Speaking of this, Wen Xing suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly Said, "In addition, Zhao San and several others also said that in the past six or seven days, neither the Wu family nor Wu Qiang has left the village!"

They usually leave home one after another at dawn, but they haven't gone anywhere in the past few days. If things go wrong, there must be demons.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Chaoyan continued to ask: "Zhao San... Forget it, where is Zhao San, you go and invite him over, I will ask her personally."

Wen Xing looked at Mrs. Song, and after Mrs. Song said, "Go", she went to invite Zhao San over.

Zhao San said vigilantly and panickedly: "I didn't set the fire!"

"I know you didn't set it on fire," Chen Chaoyan whispered to comfort him, and then said, "Please come here, I have a few questions to ask."

Zhao San quickly said: "I don't know anything!"

Although it was very unreasonable, Chen Chaoyan couldn't help laughing, "My question is very simple. Usually, if there are any quarrels or big movements here, can you hear them at home?"

The distance of about 50 meters, whether it is long or short, and whether it can be heard is a very important evidence for judging the cause of death of Wu's mother and child without an autopsy.

"Wu Qiang has a loud voice," Zhao San said after muttering a few words, "When he and his mother usually talk, half the people in the village can hear them. If there is a quarrel, the whole village can hear it."

Loud.

Chen Chaoyan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately asked, "Did you hear anything tonight?"

Zhao San said with certainty: "No."

"In the past six or seven days, has anyone come to the village to look for them?" Chen Chaoyan asked again.

Zhao San still said with certainty: "Not at all."

"I'm done asking, thank you." Watching Zhao San go away, Chen Chaoyan pondered for a moment, then looked at the silk handkerchief in Wen Xing's hand, "This handkerchief is in Wu Qiang's body..."

At this point, Chen Chaoyan suddenly thought, these two corpses belonged to Wu's mother and son, right?

Subconsciously, she raised her eyes to look at the light screen.
