Warm fragrance cloud around

Lin Junnuan had just passed the side hall when she saw Chuntao Xiahe and several maidservants guarding the door, and An's cold voice came from inside, "Are you willing to come back?"

She lowered her head very consciously, walked slowly into the side hall, and saluted An's in a very standard manner: "Mother, good evening, my daughter is back."

Anshi casually played with the feather duster in his hand, and glanced at her lightly: "Where did you go?"

Lin Junnuan rubbed his nose: "Then what, isn't there a dead person by the lake? My daughter mistakenly took the dead person as an adult, so she stayed for a while... Only later did I realize that I had recognized the wrong person."

"Why didn't you come to us when you found out that you had admitted to the wrong person? Luckily, Mr. Xu arrived in time, otherwise you wanted to kill your mother in a hurry?!" The feather duster in An's hand was ready to move.

"Why didn't I look for it? I've been looking for it for a long time!" Lin Junnuan hurried up to be a good boy, "Perhaps there are too many people in the staggered way, and I haven't seen you all, so my daughter... went to eat something by herself before rushing back. "

An Shi gestured at her with a feather duster, but in the end she was still reluctant to beat her up, and snorted coldly, "Have you eaten dinner? That's just right, I didn't leave you a meal today. Listen carefully, Miss Chuntao and Xiahe. Miss has already eaten." Don't let her steal food until dinner!"

Does this mean to starve her?Lin Junnuan hung her head and muttered a few words, but pretended to accept it willingly: "Yes, my daughter knows."

If she had known this, she should have had dinner at Ahua's house before coming back, her braised hoof!

That night, Lin Junnuan was leaning on the soft couch with an empty stomach to read a book, when his younger brother Lin Junheng suddenly walked in with his chest in his arms and his head shrinking: "Sister, you're starving, my brother brought you food!"

Yoho, as expected of her good brother, but he loves others, Lin Junnuan casually put the book aside, and approached Lin Junheng in a low voice: "What did you bring?"

Lin Junheng raised his eyebrows and took out a large oiled paper bag, which contained two white flour steamed buns and a big oily chicken drumstick, "It's still warm!"

Lin Junnuan was about to pick up the steamed buns to eat, but Lin Junheng closed the oiled paper bag in his arms, pursed his lips and shook his head innocently: "Steamed buns are five taels each, chicken legs are ten taels, pay first."

"Okay, I still need a little money from you!"

Lin Junnuan slapped his hand away angrily, snatched the oiled paper bag, took a bite of the steamed bun and the chicken leg, and said vaguely while eating, "Otherwise, I'll divide it into two stores for you, and you'll get as much money as you want." .”

Lin Junheng quickly waved his hand and refused: "It's better to say goodbye, young master, I just want to be an idle dandy, and I will leave the money-making to my sister. Those who can do more work."

Seeing Lin Junnuan eating happily, he was also a little greedy, choked a few times, looked around, and then lowered his voice and asked Lin Junnuan mysteriously: "I heard from people outside that our family has been eating in the past few years. I’ve been living beyond my means, I’m afraid I won’t be able to last for a few years, sister, tell your brother honestly, is this true?”

"What do you think?" Lin Junnuan pinched his face with his oily hand after grabbing the chicken leg, and rolled his eyes angrily: "Don't worry, it's fine to support you, and your wife and son will also be able to support you in the future." no problem!"

"That's good." Lin Junheng patted his chest as if he was relieved, "I'll just say, my grandfather said that you can make more money than him, so how can you have no money, hehe."

Lin Junnuan swallowed the steamed buns, took another two mouthfuls of tea, and suddenly asked, "If our family is really poor, what are you going to do?"

"Sister, don't make such terrible assumptions!"

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case."

Lin Junheng scratched his head and thought for a while: "Then I will at most... In the future, I will only drink less than three taels of silver for tea, and ask others to pay for my meals?"

What kind of poverty is this? Why doesn't his younger brother eat minced meat? Lin Junnuan shook his head and sighed. How far can a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child expect him to think.

Lin Junnuan suddenly remembered how she felt when she first saw Lin Junheng being held in her arms by the midwife after she had just "learned" to speak and walk, and began to integrate into the world after coming to this world for more than a year.

That little child is her brother who is connected by blood.

"Ah Heng, have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?" Lin Junnuan asked in a soft voice suddenly.

Lin Junheng twisted his waist twice, looked up at the sky uncomfortably: "Didn't I say that, I want to be an idle dude."

Lin Junnuan smiled slightly, if you wish, I will protect you and be a carefree playboy.

***

Early the next morning, Lin Junnuan changed into men's clothes, ate a big bowl of hot wontons at a roadside stall, and then walked slowly towards Dali Temple.

The gatekeeper had already remembered her face, and let her in after saying hello. When Lin Junnuan came to the hall where Cheng Jiangyun was, it was not as quiet as usual. There were five or six people standing in front of Cheng Shaoqing with their heads bowed. Listen to him lecture.She listened indiscriminately, as if she had encountered a problem when investigating the identity of the deceased, and she didn't know what level of confidentiality it was.

Cheng Jiangyun caught a glimpse of her, and told his subordinates a few more words, then asked them to investigate separately, and waved to the door, "Come in."

As soon as Lin Junnuan entered the door, she got straight to the point: "Is the investigation in trouble? Don't you know the identity of the deceased?"

Cheng Jiangyun nodded with a slightly heavy expression, and found that the body had passed the whole night, but they didn't even know who the deceased was. In the morning, the minister of Dali Temple came to ask questions, and there was a bit of resentment in his words for why he took the trouble himself the meaning of.

Although he didn't regret taking this case, there was no doubt that the longer the time dragged on, the harder it would be to investigate the case.

"Have you investigated the clothes of the deceased, have you got any clues?"

"No."

"Aren't there any moles or birthmarks on your body?"

Cheng Jiangyun shook his head slightly.

"No one came to claim the body?"

"No, everyone at the scene said they didn't know the deceased," Cheng Jiangyun frowned slightly, "Do you still remember what happened when the body was found?"

"I'm far away, and I'm not the first group of people to arrive at the scene," Lin Junnuan sighed, "They said that the boat floated over from the lake, Qiandiao Lake is quite big, and boats on the lake usually The distance was intentionally kept so as not to offend the nobles, so the corpse on the boat was not found until the boat docked, and someone took a few curious glances and found the corpse."

"However, I still have a new discovery."

Lin Junnuan didn't make a fool of himself either, and detailed his speculation about the inconsistency of the direction of the wound on the deceased's chest and face. After hearing this, Cheng Jiangyun looked thoughtful.

"After the autopsy, I also found the problem of the wound. Another point is that the knife that the murderer pierced through the chest of the deceased was very straightforward. It seemed that he wanted to end the suffering of the deceased as soon as possible, but the wound on the face of the deceased was finely shattered. Messy, seems to have hatred for the dead when he strikes..."

Lin Junnuan patted the table with sparkling eyes: "That is to say, it is likely to be the third case. The murderer and the face-slasher are not the same person?"

Cheng Jiangyun nodded silently.

Lin Junnuan rolled his eyes, and said again: "Cheng Shaoqing, can you temporarily hand over the deceased's clothes to me, maybe I can find clues from it."

"What...you smelled again?"

Lin Junnuan shook his head: "The smell of blood was too strong that day, no... By the way, have you found out the origin of the murder weapon?" It will be too difficult to check.

Cheng Jiangyun pursed his lips slightly: "The dagger should come from Chi Yan."

"Red Flame?"

"I have my own sense of Chi Yan's problem, you don't need to know." Chi Yan acts both righteous and evil. Although he will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, it is also a big threat to the superiors. There is a sword hanging from the top that does not know when it will fall, knowing too much is not good for Lin Junnuan.

All right, don't say anything, Lin Junnuan's smile also faded slightly, originally wanted to tell him about the smell of oil on the dagger, but now he is not happy to say, "Cheng Shaoqing, can you hand over the deceased's clothes to me?"

"What do you want clothes for?"

"I have my own use, you don't need to know."

That's not right, how to say this is like playing with your temper, Lin Junnuan secretly complained to himself, and quickly showed a sincere smile: "Actually, I have an acquaintance, she is very familiar with the clothing stores in the capital, It may be possible to identify the store from which the deceased's clothes were bought."

"Acquaintances?" Cheng Jiangyun took a deep look at her, "You have so many acquaintances, can you introduce them to me?"

Lin Junnuan lowered her head and pointed at her fingers: "This...it's not convenient..." Yun Niang's mind is too active, if she takes Cheng Jiangyun there, she might be laughed at.

Cheng Jiangyun sighed: "The dead man's clothes were stained with blood and it was hard to take off. He was cut in several places during the autopsy. Is it okay?"

"It's okay," Lin Junnuan thought for a while, but didn't dare to speak too much, "I'm just trying to ask, there are too many clothing stores in Beijing, and she may not be able to recognize them."

"It doesn't matter, it's better than asking from door to door."

Lin Junnuan got the blood-stained dress of the deceased, wrapped it in several layers of thick cloth, and then left Dali Temple with the package, and went straight to "Hua Xiangrong" to find Yunniang.

Yunniang almost screamed when she saw the blood stains on her clothes. Fortunately, she was also someone who had seen the world, so she calmed down and looked at Cheng Jiangyun in horror: "Master, your clothes are soaked in blood. ?"

That's right, it was really soaked in blood, and it was only peeled off the body not long ago. Are you surprised or surprised?

Lin Junnuan didn't want to put too much pressure on Yuniang, so he yelled haha ​​and said, "Don't worry about the origin of the clothes, I won't hurt you, right, just see if you can recognize the clothes are Which made it?"

Yun Niang covered her nose, twisted up a corner of the dress with two fingers, and took a closer look, "It's all torn like this, how can I recognize it?"

"See if there are any signs."

"This blood is stained, even if there is a sign, I can't see it clearly," Yun Niang muttered, it was Yi Lin Junnuan, who looked more seriously, and suddenly said "Huh" in surprise after a long while.

"How, what did you find?"

Yun Niang frowned: "I didn't find the logo, but the embroidery pattern is a bit familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere..."
