I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

Zhang Susu immediately bowed to Han Qi, and stepped aside, as if to make way.

The person who was anxious to explain just now just turned his head and stopped explaining, pretending to be a passerby.

Cui Tao looked at Zhang Susu's performance coldly and didn't say much, because the conversation they had just now was just her two private words. If one party denied it, the other party's speech would be nothing more than empty talk and meaningless.

Han Qi ignored Zhang Susu and said to Cui Tao, "A female corpse whose eyes had been gouged out was found in another haunted house in the west of the city. Judge Han has already gone first."

Cui Tao agreed and asked Wang Siniang to get the tools for the autopsy.Because of Han Zong, Ping'er was not allowed to follow.Although Pinger is determined not to think about Han Zong anymore, it is inevitable that there will be times when she cannot control her emotions, so it is better for her not to see her as much as possible.

The matter of Dizangge Rouge Shop is very important and confidential, so it is inconvenient to say more in a crowded place.So she took advantage of the waiting time, went back to the room and wrote out the clues she had investigated, and handed it to Han Qi, asking him to arrange people to investigate as soon as possible.As early as possible, we must deal with the old fox without delay.

After Cui Tao left, Zhang Susu still stood beside her with her neck curled up, her head drooping, and she didn't say a word.

Han Qi called Shang Ping'er and Zhang Susu to follow him to the side hall.

Zhang Wenpo also came to the side hall afterward.

When the yamen servant called Zhang Wenpo to come, he told her the rumors going on in the mansion.Zhang Wenpo only felt that the matter was serious, and she broke out in a cold sweat on the way here, and even regretted that she really shouldn't have brought Zhang Susu to Kaifeng Mansion.

After Zhang Wenpo entered the door, she found that there were eight people standing by the side of the house, all standing upright with no expression on their faces, as if they were waiting to escort the prisoner to the prison at any time.

Zhang Chang accompanied Han Qi, indifferent, but not without a sense of presence.He kept staring at Zhang Susu carefully, making Zhang Susu obviously feel that the matter must be related to him.

Ping'er was also a little scared by the atmosphere, she felt that she didn't seem to have made any mistakes recently, and she didn't take the initiative to provoke anything, why did Han Tuiguan call her here?What makes people even more disturbed is that Mrs. Cui and Wang Siniang are not here. If there is something wrong with her, no one will plead for her. Thinking about it makes me even more disturbed.

The room was extremely quiet, only the sound of Han Qi putting down the cup after drinking tea could be heard.

Zhang Wenpo took the lead in apologizing to Han Qi, scolding Zhang Susu for being ignorant and causing a misunderstanding by talking nonsense.

"Auntie, I didn't talk nonsense, I didn't say anything." Zhang Susu hurriedly argued, "Those people misunderstood."

"Then why don't you deny it immediately?" Zhang Wenpo angrily scolded Zhang Susu.

"I haven't realized it yet. I'm still surprised by the news about Han Tuiguan's... broken sleeve. I really didn't mean it!" Zhang Susu's eyes were flushed with anxiety, and she pouted aggrievedly, please Zhang Susu Wen Po must believe her explanation.

In fact, her explanation did make sense. After all, she was young and didn't know much. It is reasonable to be shocked for a while when she suddenly heard that someone around her had lost her sleeve.

"When I wanted to explain, they had already left. I wanted to chase and explain, but I was afraid that the more I explained, the less people would believe me. I really couldn't think of a good way, so I asked Mrs. Cui for help. Yamen Madam Cui is the smartest here, I think she must have a solution. Unexpectedly, Madam Cui didn't want to help at all, and let me solve it myself."

"You can really add to the chaos!"

Zhang Wenpo glared at Zhang Susu and cursed angrily.Then she apologized to Han Qi again, saying that she would bring Zhang Susu to clarify this matter with everyone later.

"Three nights ago, I was in the mortuary room of the government office. Susu stayed with me all the time, and she only left for a short while."

Zhang Wenpo glanced at Zhang Susu and noticed the clothes on her body.Suddenly, I remembered that Zhang Susu had said that she made this men's clothing after Mistress Cui, and it was also for the convenience of the autopsy.

Zhang Wenpo thought at the time that it was nothing but blue men's clothes that could be seen everywhere.

But now at this moment, a possibility suddenly came to her mind. Could it be that the man in Tsing Yi and Tsing Tui who was hugging Officer Han was...

"On the ninth day of May, I arrived at the scene of the crime without authorization and trampled on the blood on the scene. On May 27th, I had a quarrel with the people who reported the crime. On May 28th, I went to the file room to ask for the file. On June [-]th, I appeared in the government office. On June [-]th , that is, today, appear in the classroom again." Han Qi stated in a flat tone.

The yamen servants' squad room is the place where the yamen servants are on duty, and all of them are men, so it is not in accordance with the rules for Zhang Susu to go there casually.

Zhang Wenpo was frightened by Han Qi's words in an instant when she had just thought of it.She was so nervous that she could only think about what to do next.

Zhang Susu came to the yamen to learn how to do things from her, he was someone she brought with her, not a serious official in the yamen, so naturally she couldn't just wander around in Kaifeng mansion, she must abide by the rules of the yamen.The examples given by Han Tuiguan may seem trivial in ordinary times, and it is fine if no one cares about it.But if you talk about it in detail, these are things that violate the rules, and everything can be used as a reason for making mistakes to punish Zhang Susu, and she will also be held accountable.

Zhang Susu was more flustered than Zhang Wenpo at the moment. She thought that Han Qi asked her to come here on purpose to talk about the matter of 'hugging the broken sleeve', but she never thought that he didn't mention a word, and he mentioned that since she entered Kaifeng 'Irregularities' since the government.If it weren't for such a detailed list, Zhang Susu herself would not have known that these things she had done were problematic.She has a reason to explain each item, and there is a reason for these.

As soon as Zhang Susu's lips moved, she wanted to explain to Han Qi, when she heard Zhang Wenpo plop on her knees, sincerely apologizing to Han Qi for not educating and taking good care of her.

Seeing this, Zhang Susu hurriedly knelt down and grabbed Zhang Wenpo with red eyes, "Auntie, how can I blame you for this? It's my fault. I caused trouble for my aunt."

"Han Tuiguan, it's my fault. When I first came to Kaifeng Mansion, I couldn't help being curious. I did things so-so and didn't understand the rules. I made trouble for everyone. I ask Han Tuiguan to punish me!" Zhang Susu then kowtowed to Han Qi apologize.

"Since I know I'm troublesome, I still run around and cause trouble." Han Qi's expression was very calm, and his tone of voice was gentle and gentle. At first glance, it sounded like he didn't mean to blame, but after careful consideration of the content of the words, it was clear that he wanted to be cruel to blame.

"It was my mistake. I was wrong. I must remember the lesson and never make these mistakes again next time." Zhang Susu apologized again.

Han Qi's face was expressionless, and he didn't even move his eyelids. His face seemed to be carved out of cold white jade, and he didn't move.

Because Han Qi didn't speak, the room fell silent again.

Ping'er watched the excitement for a long time before she suddenly understood what was going on in this battle.It turned out that there were rumors that the person Han Tuiguan held in his arms that night was Zhang Susu?Is this the story that came out of there again?

Look at the clothes Zhang Susu is wearing now, it really looks like Mrs. Cui's.I don't know if she just happened to wear it like this today, or if she just heard the rumors.If it's the latter, Zhang Susu is really scheming, she clearly wants to draw the disaster to Mrs. Cui on purpose.

Zhang Wenpo also said that she can prove that Zhang Susu was with her that night.The rumors from Zhang Susu can be clarified, but the clothes she is wearing can't help but remind people that Cui Niangzi also has such a suit.In addition, Mrs. Cui has been handling the case with Han Tuiguan, and the appearance of the two looks very good, it is too easy for people to connect the two of them.

Zhang Susuruo intentionally made a misunderstanding on herself, then clarified, and then slapped Han Tuiguan and Cui Niangzi.She is not only scheming, but also very vicious.

The so-called 'spit star drowns people', reputation is too important for a woman, if it is serious, this move is likely to drive people to a dead end.Fortunately, this person is Mrs. Cui, who can see clearly and has a clear mind, so she doesn't fall into Zhang Susu's scheme at all.If it were an ordinary woman, even if it was her herself, it would be difficult to see the whole picture in the midst of the incident, she would definitely get angry, and couldn't help but defend herself in a hurry.

The more impetuous you are and the more you have to explain this kind of rumors involving love between men and women, the more people will think that there is something wrong here, and the more associations will be made.Even if you pull out the witnesses, some people will still think that you are falsifying.In short, as long as people are provided with talking materials in this regard, they can't stop at all.

And if this matter is carefully considered, Zhang Susu is actually not wrong, she just reacted slowly and didn't answer what others said in time.I have to say, Han Tuiguan's head is really admirable!He didn't take this matter to hold Zhang Susu accountable, and let her have something to say, but directly summed up the real mistake she made, and it was a dead-on mistake with a lot of witnesses.

Zhang Susu waited for a while, and seeing that Han Qi hadn't let go, she immediately apologized again.

After Zhang Wenpo was silent for a long time, she gritted her teeth and assured Han Qi: "This subordinate will let her go home, so that she will never set foot in Kaifeng Mansion from now on!"

Only then did Han Qi lower his eyelids, then picked up the tea that Zhang Chang had poured for him again, and took a leisurely sip.

"Aunt!" Zhang Susu didn't expect that Zhang Wenpo would drive her away, so she cried and begged her to forgive herself, and also begged Han Qi to give her a chance. She really knew she was wrong, "I promise to obey the rules obediently, Auntie I will be where I am, and I will never cause trouble again, breaking the rules of the yamen."

Seeing that Han Qi didn't express his opinion, Zhang Susu kowtowed to Han Qi.

Han Qi said: "It doesn't matter if you make a small mistake."

When Zhang Susu heard this, she burst into tears and laughed, and hurriedly grabbed Zhang Wenpo, "Auntie, look at Han Tuiguan forgiving me, please forgive me this time, I will promise to do things well in the future, and correct those small problems. gone."

When Zhang Wenpo heard this, she looked at Han Qi in disbelief.How can you take it lightly if you deliberately ask for accountability like this today?

Sure enough, as Zhang Wenpo expected, what Han Qi said next blocked any possibility.

"Small mistakes can be corrected, but if the heart is not correct, it is hard to correct."

The implication is that it is not a big problem to make some small mistakes in the details, but the corruption of character is rotten from the root and cannot be kept at all.

Mrs. Zhang Wen didn't understand why Han Qi directly identified her niece as having a problem with her character. It seemed like a small mistake——

"How could Officer Han treat me like this, avenging his personal revenge? Then Officer Han hugged Mrs. Cui, took advantage of Mrs. Cui and didn't want to take responsibility, is it because he has a righteous heart? If he is not righteous, he can't stay in Kaifeng Mansion." , Han Tuiguan should leave here with me too!" Seeing Han Qi's ruthlessness, Zhang Susu couldn't bear it any longer, and just dropped the words.

Zhang Wenpo looked at Zhang Susu in shock, completely unexpected that she would dare to say such a thing, and dare to accuse Han Qi of misbehavior, and even brought Mrs. Cui along.Is this really her niece?

Han Qi chuckled lightly.

"Why didn't the Tutor Han dare to answer my words? Are you guilty?" Zhang Susu was a bit confident, feeling that he had Han Qi's handle.

"My lord only talks to people, why would you care about a lunatic?" Zhang Chang choked on Zhang Susu, and then told her, "That night, your lord was just sending off a junior, but he told you people with unhealthy minds to spread nonsense. What's it like?"

Mrs. Cui has always called his family Mr. Lord, so calling her a junior is not a lie.Zhang Chang thought so.

"I'm not talking nonsense, Han Tuiguan Mingming and—"

"Uncle Six."

At this time, a slender boy was brought into the side hall.He is dressed similarly to Zhang Susu, with Tsing Yi and Tsingtou.

After Han Shanyan greeted Han Qi, he smiled and rushed to Han Qi's side.

Zhang Susu was dumbfounded seeing this scene, and the other people present naturally understood what was going on when they saw this.Han Tuiguan is the youngest son in the family, and the elder brother's child is now a teenager at such an age, which is simply too normal.Uncles and nephews meet each other for intimacy, what's wrong with hugging?After being passed on by outsiders, it was rumored that it had something to do with the women in the yamen. If one was not enough, another would be involved. It was really miserable for Han to push the official.

"It's all gone."

As soon as Han Qi spoke, Zhang Susu was dragged out by Zhang Wenpo. She hadn't realized why things happened so quickly.

After everyone left, Han Qi pushed away Han Shanyan who was leaning against him.

"Sixth Uncle is so bad, he just throws it away when he's done using it?" Han Shanyan sighed, "My nephew asked for leave from the doctor on purpose, and didn't go to school properly, so I came to help Sixth Uncle in an emergency."

Han Qizhuan was about to hand over a policy theory that he had written earlier to Han Shanyan.

Han Shanyan immediately held it in his arms and laughed, "What about the copybook?"

"I haven't written it yet, I'll give it to you later." After Han Qi finished speaking, he glanced at Han Shanyan.

Han Shanyan immediately raised his hand and swore, "I will never tell anyone about this matter, not even my mother, and I promise to rot in my stomach. If I violate it, I will not be able to go to high school for the rest of my life!"

This is the most poisonous oath for the aristocratic family whose goal is to take part in the imperial examination and become an official.

Han Qi naturally knew about Han Shanyan's character, otherwise he wouldn't have been called here.

"But Uncle Liu, who were you with that night? Which family's young master?" Han Shanyan leaned over curiously, and asked Han Qi in a low voice, "My nephew is not that old-fashioned. In ancient times, there was Ye Gong who loved dragons—no, it was King Wei An who loved Lord Longyang. Isn’t that a good story? The person Liu Shu admired was just like Liu Shu. There are not many people, so it is easier for my nephew to make friends with a few more, and it is easier to increase my knowledge.

"En." Han Qi only responded.

Of course Han Shanyan was not reconciled to Han Qi perfunctory her like this, and asked Han Qi when and where to meet.

"When she agrees."

Han Shanyan looked at Han Qi in surprise, from top to bottom, from left to right.In terms of appearance, she is unparalleled; in terms of talent, she is not inferior to anyone; in terms of character, there is no need to say more.Such a perfect sixth uncle in his eyes, is there anyone who can't handle it?Still waiting for someone to agree?

Han Shanyan is more curious about what kind of ordinary person this is, but he also understands Han Qi's temperament, and it will be useless to say that you force his mouth away.

"The nephew is waiting, don't forget."

As soon as Han Shanyan finished speaking, he saw Han Qi waving at him and drove him away quickly.Han Shanyan's heart was cold, he covered his chest and bid farewell to Han Qi pretending to be in pain, and gave another instruction before leaving.

"Don't forget the copybook!"

On the way to the scene of the crime, Cui Tao pondered Zhang Susu's motive for doing this.

What good would this behavior do her?

Zhang Susu used her grievances as an excuse to ruin her and Han Qi's reputation, and also intended to sow discord between her and Han Qi.

What is certain is that Zhang Susu must know that she is with Han Qi.But she probably didn't know how she and Han Qi got along, so she speculated about their relationship from an ordinary person's point of view.I thought that Han Qi was advocating to conceal the relationship, procrastinating and unwilling to take responsibility, and felt that she must have been wronged in her heart, and like most women, she couldn't wait to get her status.

Therefore, Zhang Susu took advantage of the rumors and this 'contradiction' to come and make trouble with her.

However, this rumor happened later, and it was accidental.

Zhang Susu learned how to dress from her before, and even worshiped her as a teacher, and even spent the whole night making braised boneless chicken feet for her.

Cui Tao also noticed that before today, Zhang Susu imitated her dressing twice when she was alone with her in private, and outsiders did not see it.

The first time was at night, Zhang Susu deliberately waited at the back door, as if to wait for her to come back and let her see her clothes.

And the next morning, when Zhang Susu delivered the boneless chicken feet, she was dressed normally because Wang Siniang and Ping'er were there.

But on the same day, when she bought goat milk and went back to Kaifeng Mansion alone, Zhang Susu reappeared and dressed like her, even buying goat milk in the same way.

The actions of making braised boneless chicken feet and cleaning make Zhang Susu seem to sincerely worship her as a teacher.But imitating her behavior of buying clothes and buying milk made Cui Tao feel that she was intentionally disgusting her.

Furthermore, Cui Tao once told Zhang Susu that the word peach can exorcise evil spirits. Since then, there has been a detail that Zhang Susu no longer calls her Sister Taoer.

It can be seen that Zhang Susu knew in her heart that her behavior was playing a demon.It can be seen that she did this on purpose.

Cui Tao and Zhang Susu had no intersection and no enmity in the past.After all, Cui Tao couldn't understand, what benefits would Zhang Susu get from doing this?

"What are you thinking about?"

Han Zong waited for a long time in front of the haunted house, and seeing Cui Tao riding a horse over, he was still sitting on the horse in a daze, with no intention of getting off, so he couldn't help asking her softly.

Wang Siniang and Wang Zhao had dismounted by now.Wang Siniang took a look at this dilapidated ghost house, which was smaller than the ghost house in Dayu Lane.There are only two rooms in the house, and it has been abandoned for a long time, and weeds have grown on the walls and roof.

Before a few people went in, they smelled a bad smell outside.

Wang Siniang covered her nose with her hand, "Isn't this the stench of a dead body?"

"You guessed right, it's the smell of corpses." Li Yuan, who was in charge of leading people to protect and investigate the scene, came out at this moment and answered Wang Siniang's words.

"Oh my god." Wang Siniang tightly covered her mouth and nose.

When everyone entered the house, Han Zong couldn't help asking Cui Tao again: "Is there something bothering you?"

Cui Tao glanced back at Han Zong, and then thought that Han Zong might have lied about Dengzhou's affairs, "Shouldn't have as many worries as you. If the government is an official, you will inevitably feel uncomfortable, right?"

Han Zong lowered his eyes and forced a smile, "Su Yuwan and Dizang Pavilion were supposed to be punished, but I'm bothered. I should also worry that the knife was too light."

Cui Tao couldn't tell whether he was joking or telling the truth.He really didn't regret Su Yuwan's knife?

"I've been at home for a month, and I've been introspecting every day. I want to understand everything. Fortunately, you are here, so I didn't go astray. It's also fortunate that because of you, I stabbed her in the first place, and it was barely counted as righteousness. That's why now he has not been deprived of his fame and can come to Kaifeng to be an official." He can still meet the people he misses day and night.

Of course, Han Zong didn't dare to say the last sentence.

"About the Ksitigarbha Pavilion, have you explained everything you know?" Cui Tao asked.

Han Zong nodded, "Su Yuwan is actually on guard against me. I don't know where the dizang and the chief rudder are. But I have seen her always send letters to Suizhou, so I informed Lin Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment. From this investigation, Lin Shangshu found out where the main rudder of the Dizang Pavilion is."

Han Zong didn't forget to apologize to Cui Tao immediately. He couldn't directly disclose the news to Kaifeng Mansion because he was afraid to face the people in Kaifeng Mansion.

Of course Cui Tao doesn't care about these things, what she cares about is that Dengzhou is weird and must be connected with Dizang Pavilion.Han Zong probably knew about the situation in Dengzhou, but he didn't disclose it at all.His ability to speak truth and falsehood is the same as before.

But it's hard to say what's going on at the moment. We can only find out the details when Han Qi sends someone to Dengzhou to investigate the Santai rouge shop first, and we can only make a judgment at that time.

"Do Su Yuwan and Tianji Pavilion have children?" Cui Tao asked Han Zong.

Han Zong was stunned for a moment, "I haven't heard her mention this before."

"Then have you asked?"

Han Zong shook his head. He was about to say more when the smell suddenly became stronger.He couldn't help covering his mouth and nose with the handkerchief, and then handed a brand new handkerchief to Cui Tao,

At this time, the two had already walked through the courtyard and arrived in front of the main hall.The corpse was in the center of the main hall, so the smell was naturally strong.

When Cui Tao walked over, she deliberately walked slowly and chatted with Han Zong a few times, just to get used to the rancid smell.

But Wang Siniang couldn't stand this, she pinched her nose and followed Cui Tao into the main hall of the house reluctantly, took a look at the carrion lying on the ground, couldn't bear it anymore, threw the autopsy box in her hand on the ground, turned around and rushed Go outside the hospital and vomit.

Cui Tao walked over to the corpse to observe the entire rotting corpse.

The corpse has already appeared as a giant, and the whole corpse is in a state of being inflated and swollen due to the high degree of decay.The eyes were gouged out and maggots were born, the face was swollen, the lips were everted, blood was overflowing from the mouth and nose, and there was 'vomiting after death'.The reason for this situation is that the corpse will produce gas during the decomposition process, which will compress the stomach and intestines, thus squeezing the food in the stomach to overflow from the mouth.In the same way, it will also compress the uterus of the deceased, so that the pregnant deceased may give birth after death.

Cui Tao found a circular dirty mark in the center of the deceased's skirt, and asked Han Zong and other men to avoid it. Sure enough, she found a formed fetus under the skirt. The fetus was more than three inches long, and it was probably three to four months old. .

Cui Tao checked the condition of the victim's mouth again, and sure enough, his tongue was cut off.The back of the neck was checked again, and there was a fracture.The cause of death of the two victims should be due to the fracture of the second neck bone, which caused the separation of the respiratory muscles and the medullary center, which led to asphyxiation.

The hands and feet of the corpse also had calluses, mud in the crevices of the nails, mud on the soles of the shoes, scratches on the dress, and a little oil stain on the corner of the skirt.

Cui Tao took off the gut gloves, then walked out of the main hall, taking a breath of fresh air outside.

Han Zong couldn't bear it anymore, he was already waiting outside, and he was a little embarrassed to see Cui Tao coming out.

"I really admire you for being able to endure this." Han Zong was actually very puzzled in his heart, "Although I didn't have time to accompany you in Ruyi Garden back then, I didn't know the whole picture of what you learned, but even if you can read the miscellaneous books on autopsy See, but—”

In fact, Jiaogu does not teach all women in general. Besides teaching some good-looking women to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and to serve men, she also discovers the strengths of some of them so that they can specialize in skills such as accounting, weaving, etc. Cloth, make rouge gouache and so on.There are many miscellaneous books in the Ruyi Museum, and Han Zong doesn't have every book to confirm whether there is an autopsy.Cui Tao is indeed smart, but even if he reads this kind of book and understands it, it is only on paper after all. It is doubtful that this kind of corpse can still be so calm for autopsy.

Cui Tao guessed that Han Zong was suspicious, and felt that she still needed to explain, although it wouldn't matter if she didn't explain.Anyway, whether this person is good or bad can't be determined by just a word, and besides, she has done so much work in Kaifeng Mansion, and she has made so many contributions, good or bad can already be distinguished.As long as there is no huge evidence to prove that she has been distorted, who would dare to 'accept' her?

The Song Dynasty was a society with a basically sound legal system, and the leader Zhao Zhen was a very reasonable emperor, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

"I was also scared when I first saw a corpse, but in order to get out of the predicament, I could only pretend to be calm, and mistakenly let the official Han Tui think that I was very powerful. Didn't I stay in the morgue in Kaifeng Mansion for a long time after that? Ya, when I do the autopsy, I won’t know how to study, and I’m also afraid of being exposed.” Cui Tao explained to Han Zong with a decent reason.

Han Zong nodded, since he believed in Cui Tao, he no longer had any doubts.

"Judging from the decay of the corpse, it is at least three days before the death of the last victim. As for the exact number of days, I am not sure." Cui Tao looked worriedly at the flies dancing around in the yard, and then glanced at Facing the main hall of the house where the window paper was torn, he said to Han Zong, "When I raise the maggots from the corpse, I should be able to estimate the time."

Han Zong twitched his eyebrows, twitched the corners of his mouth, and then focused on Cui Tao, as if he wanted to make sure that his ears were not hallucinating.

"Did I hear wrong just now? Why did I seem to hear that you want to raise maggots?"

"That's right, it's raising maggots." Cui Tao told Wang Zhao that he could send someone to transport the corpse back to Kaifeng Mansion, and specifically told them to be careful, "Don't get rid of the maggots on the victim's body."

Han Zong: "..."

Wang Zhao: "..."

After all, Wang Zhao was obedient, so he specially used a densely woven bamboo mat to support the corpse from the bottom, then wrapped it up, and transported it back to Kaifeng Mansion.

Wang Siniang immediately offered to go back first, and first smoke the mortuary room with special deodorizing incense, so that Cui Tao's second autopsy will smell better?

Cui Tao nodded her head in agreement, and Wang Siniang immediately got on her horse and ran away as if fleeing from disaster.

"We also found the same [-]-inch-[-] dust footprint at the scene."

Because this yard is not paved with bluestone slabs like the last ghost house, it is all muddy land, and the surface soil layer is relatively soft.Li Yuan led Cui Tao and Han Zong to look at the suspicious traces they found in the courtyard.

"These seem to be donkey or horse hoof marks?" Li Yuan pointed to the marks on the soil.

Cui Tao took a closer look, and found that the hoof prints towards the house were deeper, while those towards the door were shallower, probably the difference between those who carried heavy loads and those who did not.

"Your feet are callused, your clothes are scratched, and are you stained with oil?" Han Zong began to try to guess the identity of the victim after seeing the corpse list written by Cui Tao, "After doing farm work barefoot, go home. The woman who cooks?"

"Calluses on the soles of the feet may not necessarily be caused by bare feet. Often doing rough work, the feet will be worn down. There may be too many, so it's hard to guess. However, the No. 1 victim's feet had something like a tree branch. Scratch marks and mud inside the toenails, it is indeed possible to be barefoot in the wild. But how can a woman's feet be exposed outside? Unless there is no one around, or there are no men, or there is no need for them to be taboo man."

Han Zong nodded, admiring Cui Tao's rigorous thinking.

The two walked to the gate of the house. Seeing that Li Yuan and the others were not around, Han Zong couldn't help asking Cui Tao in a low voice, what happened to the rumor outside that Han Qi had a habit of cutting off his sleeves.

"Your rumors are not new anymore, haven't you heard the freshest one?"

"Is there something fresher?" Han Zong couldn't help being even more curious, and asked Cui Tao to tell him quickly.

"There is nothing to talk about, considering that the trouble has already been resolved." However, the purpose of Zhang Susu's doing this is to find out clearly, to cut the weeds must be eradicated, and to solve the problem must be uprooted from the root.

"Oh, that's boring. I thought I could sneak in." Han Zong spoke the truth out of being a villain.

Cui Tao glanced at him, "Don't waste your time, the problem is not with him, but with me."

"What do you mean?" Han Zong was puzzled.

"It means, whether you have him or not, I won't be with you. So it's still the same sentence, don't waste your time." Cui Tao told Han Zong clearly that from now on, public will return to public, and there will be no selfishness.If he still has the intention of getting close to the water, then she will never have any contact with him.

Han Zong sighed, and looked at the sky helplessly, "I finally understand why Han Zhigui let me handle the case with you at ease. He is sure that you will treat me so cruelly."

Cui Tao laughed and did not deny it.

Li Yuan and others are still investigating the origin of this haunted house, asking all the nearby residents about the situation.He also asked if he had met any unusual people three days ago, half a month or even a month ago, especially people who had carried things on horses or donkeys.

Because this alley is relatively close to the main street full of shops, there are not a few people who bring donkeys to and fro in the alley, basically most of them are carrying goods, so no one pays special attention to which one is abnormal.

As for this ghost house, it has been vacant for seven years. The original owners were a couple. They originally had four daughters and a son. At that time, the couple finally gave birth to a son.The two have been married for 18 years, and they are naturally very happy to have a son who can inherit the incense. They value the youngest son and the only son very much.

From then on, the couple focused on the youngest son in everything.

The youngest son is just one month old, and the eldest daughter who has already engaged in a marriage is preparing to get married.The couple felt that in the future when the youngest son married a daughter-in-law, he had to choose someone who was good-looking, good-natured and good-natured, and if he wanted to marry a good daughter from a good family, he couldn't do without expensive dowry gifts.So the two couples reduced the dowry that the eldest daughter had prepared and reserved it for the youngest son to marry a wife. The eldest daughter was naturally unhappy because of this.

After that, the couple still kept their four daughters short on food and clothing, and no longer gave them the good meals they had before.The couple don't eat it themselves, so they have to save it all for their son.

After such a long time, the four daughters were very dissatisfied with it.Once, the couple went out and asked the eldest daughter and second daughter to take care of the youngest son. When they came back, they found that the youngest son was crying and had a fever.The two couples were furious. They believed that the eldest daughter and the second daughter did not take good care of their son, so they used sticks to teach the two daughters a good lesson. They also blamed the third and fourth daughters for no use. .

In fact, the eldest daughter and the second daughter took care of the younger brother very carefully that day, but sometimes the change of weather can easily cause the child to get sick, even if the biological parents take care of it, it may not be able to avoid it.

All four daughters felt wronged, and the dissatisfaction accumulated over time broke out.

Later, one night, when the couple were sleeping soundly, the four daughters cooperated with each other and quietly suffocated the half-year-old younger brother to death with a quilt, and then they went back to sleep as if nothing had happened.

After the couple woke up, they found that the youngest son was not breathing and was crying. Afterwards, they always felt that the death of the child was abnormal, so they reported it to the police.The government finally found out that the four daughters killed the youngest son.Then the four daughters were all arrested and imprisoned. When she was arrested, the eldest daughter accused the couple of being too biased, which chilled them, and that they deserved to end up without children.

The two couples were greatly stimulated by this, and they were even more saddened by the tragic death of their youngest son.After spending more than ten days in the house in a daze, the wife hanged herself. When the husband came back from work and saw his wife was dead, he also felt that there was no life left, so he went with him.

"This family is really serious, why did it get into such a mess?" Han Zong couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

"Don't worry about odds but about inequality. Judge Han may not have encountered partial parents, so he doesn't know how much parental partiality hurts children.

Furthermore, the freezing three feet did not happen in a day. The four daughters could carry out the extreme act of murdering the younger brother in such a consistent manner. There must be something wrong with the parents' education. "

"That's right, what kind of parents raise what kind of children." When Han Zong said this, his eyes flickered, obviously thinking of something bad.

It's not hard to guess, he should have thought of Su Yuwan.

The preliminary autopsy has been completed, so Cui Tao will not stay any longer.Now she is very curious about how Han Qi dealt with Zhang Susu, so she has to rush back to Kaifeng mansion as soon as possible to take a look.Han Zong took Li Yuan and the others, but he still had to stay and investigate around.

Before Han Zong could say goodbye, he saw the horse's tail flying and the horse's hooves kicking up dust, and Cui Tao disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When Cui Tao arrived in Kaifeng Mansion, she didn't go to Han Qi directly, because the smell of rotting corpses was too strong, so she still had to change clothes and take a bath first.Not wanting to go back to the deserted courtyard, Ping'er saw her and quickly told Cui Tao how Han Qi dealt with Zhang Susu.

Cui Tao nodded after listening, and couldn't help but praise Han Qi for a good job in her heart, then asked Ping'er puzzled, "How do you know such details?"

"I was there too." Ping'er told Cui Tao that she didn't know why Han Tuiguan called her over. She thought she would be implicated in something, but it turned out that she had nothing to do with it from the beginning to the end. , she just watched it for fun.

"Maybe Han Tui was too angry when he dealt with Zhang Susu, so he forgot to call me. I don't know, and I dare not ask. If he is angry with me, I will be unlucky? So I see He didn't call me, so he came back quickly and quietly." Ping'er then smiled and asked Cui Tao if she was very smart.

Cui Tao smiled and nodded, "It's smart, very smart."

These words were a compliment to Han Qi.

Han Qi expected that when she went to examine the carrion corpse, she would be anxious to find out the situation when she came back, but she had to take a bath first.That's why I called Ping'er to watch, so that Ping'er could tell her in time,
