Lin Yan has been waiting for Shen Yijin for a long time.

Seeing Shen Yijin coming back, he immediately walked over and said with a sullen face, "Xiao Jin, something happened. Shen Heng's house was flooded last night, and Shen Heng, Miao Lan and Shen Hongzhi were all burned to death."

Hearing this, Shen Yijin's complexion changed drastically, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, he was stunned for a while, then pushed Shi Nanyue away, turned around and hurried to Shen Heng's house.

Shi Nanyue also frowned. Seeing that Feng Bai had already chased him, he stayed behind. He turned his head, glanced at Lin Yan, and asked, "Doctor Xiao Lin, what's going on?"

Lin Yan didn't know, he shook his head and said: "I don't know what happened, but half an hour ago, the villagers who had a child who was poisoned last night rushed to find me, and they told me that they went to find him early this morning. I asked Shen Heng why he poisoned the child, and wanted to ask for an explanation."

"But when they arrived at Shen Heng's house, there were many people surrounded there, including officials and yamen servants, and Shen Heng's house had been burnt into ruins. There were three charred corpses covered with a white cloth beside the ruins. Shen Zitong had already confirmed that the three corpses were Shen Heng, Miao Lan, and Shen Hongzhi."

After Lin Yan finished speaking, he rubbed his chin and pondered for a while, then frowned and said, "But there was frost last night, and the weather was not dry, but extremely humid. How could there be water for no reason?"

From Lin Yan's description, Shi Nanyue has already heard the problem, knowing that the three people died by accident, he must go to the scene to take a look, and he is also worried about Shen Yijin. Handed the bamboo basket to Lin Yan, and said to him, "Please trouble Dr. Xiao Lin to put these back at Xiaojin's house. I'm a little worried about Xiaojin. I want to chase after them to have a look."

Hearing this, Lin Yan looked at Shi Nanyue a little more inquiringly. After a while, he told Shi Nanyue the address, and said, "Take care of Xiaojin for me."

"I will." Shi Nanyue nodded, and the next moment, he leaped with lightness, and his figure disappeared very quickly.

Miao Lan's family did not return to live in Taoyuan Village, but still lived in Hangzhou City. The house was provided by Shen Zitong for them. It was very simple and close to South Street, but now it was all burned down and turned into ruins.

When Shi Nanyue arrived, Shen Yijin had already arrived. His face was a little pale, and he was standing in front of the yamen servant, anxiously trying to explain something to them, but the yamen servant ignored him, instead stretched out his hand impatiently, and pushed him.

Shen Yijin was pushed unexpectedly, her feet were a little unsteady, and she was about to fall to the ground. At this moment, Shi Nanyue walked over quickly, grabbed his waist in time, and hugged him in his arms.

Lowering his head, Shi Nanyue worried, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Shen Yijin shook his head, took a step back, and withdrew from his arms. After a while, he whispered: "The yamen servant said that this was an accident, not man-made."

After being silent for a while, Shen Yijin suddenly raised her head, looked at Shi Nanyue, and said excitedly: "But there was frost last night, and the humidity was extremely heavy. Without the help of external objects, it would be impossible to burn it, let alone such a big fire!"

"But they didn't think it was strange at all. They didn't even bother to examine the corpse. They just looked at it with their eyes and immediately concluded that it was an accident..."

Shen Yijin's body trembled uncontrollably, and he murmured: "Obviously human life is at stake, but why are they so hasty?"

Shi Nanyue looked at Shen Yijin quietly, looked at the dissatisfaction and disgust in his eyes, understood the anger and disappointment in his heart, and couldn't help feeling a pain in his chest. He grabbed Shen Yijin's hand, squeezed Shen Yijin's palm, and promised earnestly: : "It won't be like this soon. They despise human life so much and ignore the law. They will always pay the price. I assure you. Xiao Jin, you believe me."

When Shen Yijin heard this, she looked at him fixedly, but her expression was still deeply angry, he was out of breath.

Putting Shen Yijin's hand on his chest, Shi Nanyue stared back at him intently, his eyes were deep, as if carrying a calming power.

Facing Shi Nanyue's gaze, Shen Yijin gradually calmed down. His eyes looked straight into Shi Nanyue's eyes. The two looked at each other for a long time. After a long while, he slowly said: "...I believe in you."

Shi Nanyue smiled.

After calming down, Shen Yijin realized that Shi Nanyue was holding his hand and looked at the position of his hand. He couldn't help blushing a little. He pulled out his hand, turned around and didn't dare to look at Shi Nanyue, but when he raised his head, his eyes touched the Shen Zitong, who was crying in grief in the distance, immediately restrained his joy, his eyes moved down, and he saw the three charred corpses on the ground again, and his brows frowned accordingly.

Although Miao Lan and the others have repeatedly harmed him, and even wanted to send him to the bandit den this time, looking at the current scene, people who were originally alive and well turned into charred corpses, ruins and scars all over the ground. For the onlookers and passers-by who watched the theater with indifference, Shen Yijin still felt unspeakably suffocated and sad.

He walked slowly towards Shen Zitong, knelt down in front of him, took out an embroidered handkerchief from his sleeve, and said softly: "Take it to wipe away your tears... People cannot be resurrected after death, so please forgive me."

Seven years ago, Shen Zitong was only ten years old, still young, but he was the only one who came to apologize to Shen Yijin after Miao Lan falsely accused Shen Yijin in court.

Although her apology can't make up for anything, to Shen Yijin, that apology is extremely important.

Looking at the embroidered handkerchief that was handed to her, Shen Zitong raised her head, her eyes were full of tears, the makeup that she carefully put on when she got up was all gone, and it was all in lumps on her face, it was very ugly, but she didn't care anymore, She squinted her red and swollen eyes to identify Shen Yijin, and it took her a long time to recognize him.

Lowering her head again, Shen Zitong took the embroidered handkerchief in silence, and after a while, she whispered: "Thank you."

Shen Yijin shook her head, then stood up and returned to Shi Nanyue's side.

Seeing him coming back, Shi Nanyue leaned over to his ear and asked in a low voice: "Do you know where the corpses will be transported? There must be something strange about this matter. I will ask He Zhang to do an autopsy at night. After the autopsy, I will know their identity." The real cause of death."

Shen Yijin told him: "Shen Zitong has married out, and the corpses cannot be brought into her husband's house, so the corpses will be transported to a Yizhuang outside the city for a day, and Shen Zitong will bury them tomorrow."

"okay, I get it."

At this time, Feng Bai, who had just gone to investigate the surroundings, also came back. He looked around, then leaned into Shi Nanyue's ear, and whispered, "Senior brother, it was man-made. I found a piece of unburnt fire outside the ruins. Burnt firewood smells like kerosene on it."

Shi Nanyue had already expected it, he nodded, and asked, "Is there anyone suspicious at the scene?"

Feng Bai shook his head and said: "No, no one in the crowd looked unusual, and it seems that the murderer is not here."

Shi Nanyue frowned, thought for a while, and ordered: "You stay and check the scene carefully, and don't let go of any clues. Come back and tell me as soon as you have any clues."

"Yes." Feng Bai nodded solemnly, and clasped his fists in response.

After giving Feng Bai the order, Shi Nanyue turned back to look at Shen Yijin, seeing that his face suddenly turned pale, his lips were bloodless, and he was unsteadily standing still. His brows twitched, and he hurriedly asked: "Xiao Jin , your complexion is very bad, but where is it uncomfortable?"

Shen Yijin clutched her stomach, and said in distress: "... suddenly it hurts."

Hearing this, Shi Nanyue didn't have time to think about it, so he hugged him horizontally, lowered his head, and comforted him gently: "Hold on for a while, I'll take you to the doctor immediately, be good, close your eyes, it will be here soon .”

Raising his head, Shen Yijin looked at Shi Nanyue's anxious appearance, and felt a little sweet in his heart. He rested his head on Shi Nanyue's chest, nodded slightly, and then obediently closed his eyes.
