After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Mrs. Hou insisted on going to see it herself, and the nanny beside her could only help her over, with Liu Yunxiang following behind.

When he came to the back garden and went to the southwest corner, Liu Yunxiang saw Yan Mu standing there from a distance, with his back turned. There were several boys surrounding him, some holding sticks, some kitchen knives, and some holding up Brick.

After walking over, Mrs. Hou took a breath first and then asked: "You... which family are you a maid?"

Yan Mu was dressed as a maid, but she was tall and had broad shoulders, which made people look awkward. At this time, he was facing the southwest corner. There was a well in front of him, and he was looking into it.

But he turned a deaf ear to Mrs. Hou's questions. Instead, he bent down and looked inside. There was a big stone next to it, which should have been on top of the well, but he moved it away.

Although Liu Yunxiang was embarrassed, he still had to stand up and said, "Madam, I brought him here."

Madam Hou frowned, "Princess, what do you mean?"

"He's actually..."

"There's a body in the well!"

Liu Yunxiang's words were interrupted by Yan Mu, and when he said these words, everyone was shocked.

The boy's hand holding the brick shook, and his face looked ugly. He was obviously remembering that the maid Nian'er was killed in the backyard not long ago.

"This well... this well is abandoned and not used on weekdays. How did you know there were... corpses down there?"

"Just when I came over, I saw a dog barking around here. When I removed the stone, a rotten smell rushed up. The government was looking for another body. She was most likely killed in your village, so I guessed There is a human body here, which may have been broken into pieces, and an arm is missing." Yan Mu spoke calmly, but the people who heard it were so frightened that they stepped back.

Mrs. Hou was also very frightened, her body became weak and she leaned against the nanny next to her, "This is just your guess..."

"Let someone go down and have a look and we'll find out." Yan Mu said and turned around.

Mrs. Hou saw his face clearly and was shocked again, "You are...the King of Zhenbei!"

Yan Mu nodded, "Madam won't let the officials enter the house to search. I am helpless and make you laugh."

Mrs. Hou frowned and looked at Liu Yunxiang again, "Princess, you..."

Liu Yunxiang sighed: "I think Madam also wants to tell the truth about Nian'er and the other victim. Let's find the murderer."

Mrs. Hou took a deep breath, turned her head to the side, and said coldly: "There may be a cat or a dog dead in the well, but it is definitely not a human body. Princess and prince, please leave my village as soon as possible." !”

"Mrs. Hou, just ask someone to go down and check..."

"No need!"

Mrs. Hou originally had a gentle temperament, but now she was firm and cold, "Since you two refuse to leave, don't blame me for being rude."

After saying that, she winked at the nanny next to her, who called on the boys next to her to drive them out.

Yan Mu crossed his shoulders, twitching the corners of his mouth and said, "There are two murder cases related, but Madam insists on not letting us investigate. Could she be covering up the murderer?"

"You, don't slander me!"

"Whether it is slander or not, as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, I have discovered something suspicious about you, Zhuangzi, and I must investigate it. If anyone wants to stop her, I will invite her to sit in the jail of the Ministry of Punishment!"

Seeing Yan Mu's attitude, Mrs. Hou's feet softened and her face turned extremely pale.

When he came, Yan Mu told Dahei. At this time, he took out the flute in his sleeve pocket and blew it hard. Dahei quickly broke in with the official.

"Sir, have you found anything?" Dahei asked.

Yan Mu pointed to the dry well in the southwest corner and said, "Send two people down to check it out."

Dahei ordered the lives of two officials, and those two ordered them to start preparations.

"You trespass on my village, I...I will go to the palace to sue you!" Mrs. Hou shouted angrily.

Yan Mu sneered lightly, "Madam, go ahead and file a complaint. I am investigating the case and I feel that I am not wrong."

"you!"

Liu Yunxiang was afraid that Yan Mu would make Madam Hou angry, so he hurriedly stepped forward and apologized: "Madam, it's our fault, don't be angry. But the officials are here, so you might as well check it out. It's windy here, why don't you go back to the house first?" Bar."

Madam Hou's face turned blue, "You two are so powerful, how dare I not accompany you."

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath. After so many good words, Mrs. Hou still looked aggressive, and her good temper was also worn away.

At this time, there was movement below, and an official shouted: "Sir, there is indeed a female corpse below, with her left arm missing. It is exactly what we are looking for."

"The body has begun to rot and has been dead for some days."

Yan Mu looked at Madam Hou again, raised his eyebrows and said, "Madam, obviously I guessed it right. There are not the bodies of cats and dogs below. What do you think next?"

Mrs. Hou closed her eyes and looked like she couldn't breathe.

"My wife dare not do anything."

"Okay, let's bring the body up first!"

Dahei brought several officials to help, and quickly carried the body up. The body had begun to rot, and the stench filled his nose, and the servants in the village stepped back one after another.

Fortunately, this corpse was only missing one arm and was not dismembered like the previous one.

Liu Yunxiang also covered his lips and nose with a handkerchief, not daring to look over there.

"The corpse is dressed as a maid. Everyone in your village is here to see if you recognize her," Yan Mu said.

He said this, but no one came forward and hid behind him. After he shouted again, these people bravely moved forward.

The first one was the housekeeper, and he recognized it at a glance, "Isn't this... isn't this the orchid fragrance!"

As soon as he said this, others hurriedly came over to take a look, and everyone nodded.

"It's Lanxiang!"

"Yes, it's her!"

Dahei asked: "Who is Lan Xiang?"

"Lan Xiang is our sixth girl's personal maid!" said the housekeeper.

"Sixth girl?"

"Yes, we thought she disappeared with Miss Six. Why did she die here?"

"Why is Lanxiang here...Sifu, she...she..." Mrs. Hou thought of something, her eyes widened, her body trembled, and the next moment she suddenly fainted.

"lady!"

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly asked Zijin to help send Mrs. Hou back to the courtyard, and also told her to go find Qu Moran to show Mrs. Hou.

Yan Mu first checked the body, and then circled the well several times, thinking as he did so.

"The official of Jingzhao Mansion checked it. This well is not considered secret. It should have been checked. In other words, this body was thrown into the well later, just like the severed arm was later buried in the forest." Yan Mu analyzed.

Dahei had learned two moves from Wu Zuo, and after briefly examining the corpse, he said: "Judging from the neatness of the wounds on the severed arm, it appears that the arm was cut off after the death of the deceased. The skin of the previous body shrank and the wound opened, it was If the deceased was chopped while he was still alive, it is a cruel killing. If we infer from this, the two people were in different situations at the time, and they may not be the same murderer."

Yan Mu had already thought of what Dahei said, and he even thought of who the murderer was.

He looked at Liu Yunxiang, and Liu Yunxiang immediately thought of it after listening to Dahei's analysis. When the two looked at each other, they knew that the other party had also thought of it.

The murderer is most likely Hongzhu!

"This man must be a practicing swordsman. His swordsmanship is extremely accurate. One sword strike hits the vital point, and the victim dies quickly without suffering much pain." Dahei added.

Liu Yunxiang exhaled, it should be the red candle.

It's just that Hongzhu was seriously injured at the time. Obviously this little maid was incapable of hurting her. Who could it be?

No, there is someone who can hurt her!

Han Sifu, the sixth girl from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, knows kung fu!
