仵作daily [traveling]

In the early morning of the next day, Du Si hurried to Qi An's residence. Perhaps due to the exhaustion of the day, they hadn't gotten up yet. Du Si knocked on the door but failed, so they sat at a breakfast stall and waited.

The aunt who sells oil cakes saw his thin skin and tender meat. Although he was dressed plainly, his temperament was very different. No matter how you look at it, it looks good.

"Little brother, who are you waiting for?" She couldn't help asking.

"I... just sit down." Du Si changed his mind and immediately returned to his old job. He smiled and said to the aunt.

"Girl, these pancakes are delicious, give me two."

"Small mouth is so sweet." The aunt smiled from ear to ear.

Du Si walked in front of the pancake stand, and soon had a heated fight with the aunt and other middle-aged women around.

"I see that the girls are very young, why do they say that they are old?" Du Si smiled and said, which made the girls smile coquettishly.

Passers-by looked back and saw a young boy and several women laughing and shaking their heads.

Du Si's eyes were curved, and his style of painting suddenly changed.

"Speaking of which, I'm from somewhere else, so I don't know what customs and taboos there are in Linshui County, can you tell me?"

"There are no taboos in Linshui County. The county magistrate is very open-minded. This place is safe and sound. Many people want to come here." An old lady said.

"But I recently heard that an eighteen-year-old woman disappeared..." Du Si said suspiciously.

"..."

The ladies looked at each other, and finally, one person couldn't hold back and said, "That's Qi An's daughter, Qi Xuzhen, who was taken to Gao's mansion by the master of the Gao family at the beginning of April, and suddenly disappeared in the middle of April. I heard that she was married to a man named Liu Wenqing The man eloped."

"So, how could she do such a thing?"

"Qi An, this girl usually looks dignified and well-behaved, who would have thought that she would do such a rebellious thing."

"That's it..." Du Si was a little frustrated, and the only clues he got after asking around were these few, which could not be used as evidence at all.

He wanted to prove that Qi Xuzhen hadn't written those letters, but at this moment he had no clue.

"Qi An's daughter is filial. She often sells calligraphy and paintings for Qi An, and cooks for the old mother. She is better than a boy." An old lady sighed, "Why can't Xu Zhen figure it out, so she just left... I still If you don't believe me, she will leave without any worries."

"Why?" Du Si wondered.

"Because the parents in that family are her darlings—"

All the aunts were talking again, and Du Si fell into annoyance again. It was because he couldn't figure it out that he felt that Qi Xuzhen would not do such an irresponsible act of elopement.

"I heard that Qi Xuzhen has been communicating with his father since he entered the high mansion. I don't know when the letter was broken?" Du Sifu lay on the table, looking at the closed door of Qi's house and muttering to himself. get up.

"Correspondence? Xu Zhen only communicated with Qi's father twice, and it has never been such a long time!" the aunt retorted.

"..." Du Si raised his head slowly, "Only twice? How do you know?"

"The people from Gaofu have to pass by my booth every time they deliver letters, how could I not know?"

"Bill, please!"

Du Si patted the table, dropped a few copper coins, and hurried towards Qi An's residence.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly, and a round of red sun burst out, which was extremely dazzling. Du Si soon entered Qi An's house and asked them for the envelope.

"Has Qi Xuzhen ever written to you?"

"This..." Qi An hesitated, and finally said, "Yes, the little girl sent me two letters, and there is nothing else since then."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Du Si was very puzzled.

"Because the little girl wrote in the letter that private communication between subordinates is not allowed in the Gaofu, including the letters she sent must be strictly guarded, and they are not allowed to go out at night."

"Are those two letters still there?"

"It's still there, the villain will find it for the adults."

Two letters filled with beautiful characters fell into Du Si's hands. Du Si opened them and looked carefully, and found that there were no mistakes in them.

"Is it convenient for me to bring it back to the Yamen?"

"My lord, please use it." Qi An bowed.

"You still remember the characteristics of Qi Xuzhen. This is the key to this case. Don't hide any information."

"This..." Qi An pondered for a moment and said, "The little girl Xuzhen is different from ordinary people. She writes with her left hand naturally."

"Left-handed..." Du Si thought for a while, "Have you ever read the note of the cheating letter?"

County Captain Cao said that those letters were written by Qi An who personally admitted that they were written by Qi Xuzhen.

"I've seen it, it's very similar to what my little girl wrote." Qi An paused, and then replied, "But there are a few things that I can't say are strange."

After Du Si asked a few more words, he returned to the Yamen after confirming that he had no other news from Qi An. At this time, many servants of the county Yamen disappeared.

"My lord, you are back." Seeing him coming back, Du Heng hurriedly said, "Captain Sun and Captain Li went somewhere early in the morning, and even called many servants away!"

Du Si recalled what he heard yesterday, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Detective Sun is doing business quickly."

"What business can he have...Young Master, why did you bring him here at that time?"

"Sun Ping has been a police officer for 21 years and is familiar with the surrounding area. Of course he wants to lead us." Du Si patted Du Heng's head.

"What about Captain Li?"

"Xiao Li is a sycophant, no matter what the occasion, his thick skin can come in handy." Du Si said seriously.

"So that's the case, the young master is really smart." Du Heng said in surprise.

"If I were smart, I would have solved this case long ago instead of just waiting on the sidelines." Du Si murmured, "I don't think that Qi Xuzhen would elope, a dutiful son leaves his parents and flies away, it is not logical. "

Thinking of that line of poem, Du felt deeply moved.

At night, Du Si took out the letter and compared it with Qi Xuzhen's poems. The two are similar, but there is no difference.

If this is an imitation of handwriting, it is too realistic.

Du Si couldn't help holding it up to the candlelight to watch, but he was too close, a corner of the letter was accidentally lit, Du Si quickly put it out.

Fortunately, the fire was extinguished in time and did not cause a catastrophe. Du Si turned the letter over and saw from the back that Qi Xuzhen's handwriting was quite strong.

Du Si looked at the candlelight, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

He spread out all the letters and verses about Qi Xuzhen, and read them in reverse.

Qi Xuzhen's poems are written very lightly, and there is no seepage of stains. However, the first letter he exchanged with his father was fine, but the second letter was extremely powerful, and it was densely packed on the back.

Looking at it from the front, the font of the poem is to the left, and the font of the second letter is to the right. Looking at it this way, the difference between the two is so great, but it makes Du Si ecstatic.

The case has further developed, and he can now confirm that the letter between Qi Xuzhen and her lover Liu Wenqing is forged.

That night, the servants of the yamen returned late, and Sun Ping and Li Shun fell drunk on the bed. On the second day, everyone in the yamen of Linshui County knew that Du Si had a godfather who was a magistrate, and the servants were very respectful to him. Cao Xianwei's attitude has also undergone subtle changes.

Du Si once again realized the meaning of leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, but the face of Lord Zhizhou in his memory was blurred, and he couldn't remember it for a while.

When he was worried, another major event happened in Linshui County.

Someone found a female corpse on the river beach in the west of the city. The corpse was intact. This person was the missing daughter-in-law of the Gao Mansion—Qi Xuzhen.
