"When was the mediation, and when did the deceased disappear?"

"Just one month after Xu's report, the deceased would ask the Shuntian Mansion to give him a chance to reform every half a month after that. There were four times, which should be two months."

"Based on this, he has been missing for two months, if he hadn't been killed recently..."

Before finishing the analysis, Xia Cha carried a thick stack of papers into the front hall, distributed the results to Jun Ziyou and Bai Jin, and explained: "Sir, Master Bai, it has been found out that the deceased died about two months ago. , was not killed recently."

Bai Jin was still puzzled, "Two months, why did you see it? Even if it is frozen in winter, the skin of the body will turn blue and purple and dry and hard after being cold for a long time, but I haven't noticed this situation today."

Xia Cha pointed to the eyeballs he drew on the paper, and patiently explained: "At first I was also puzzled by this result, remembering that my husband mentioned the issue of the pupils of the deceased before, so I started to investigate and found that the pupils of the deceased were not corrupt and cloudy. , but the surface is covered with a thin layer of ointment."

Jun Ziyou understood, "Could it be wax?"

"Yes, the thin wall covering the eyes is solidified wax oil, but it is clearer than what we usually use, so it is not covered with a thick white shell."

"In this way, the body did not show the appearance of being frozen..."

Xia Cha swallowed her saliva, obviously also afraid, and said after a while: "That's right, because the body was filled with wax oil, and after solidification, it supported the skin and muscles of the dead body from the body, and fused with the blood, temporarily slowing down the dead body. Putrefaction, which turned the body into a...wax figure, that's why there were burn marks on the surface of the body's skin."

This kind of appalling incident made Bai Jin sweat all over his body. Although the deceased deserved his crime and deserved his death, but the person he had met before died tragically in the blink of an eye, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Jun Ziyou was so disgusted that he couldn't drink the tea, so he simply pushed the cup and asked, "What's the cause of death?"

"There were no obvious wounds on the body of the deceased, and the infusion of wax oil into the body requires blood circulation, so it is very likely that the deceased was still alive when the wax figure was made..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall. A woman in a light-colored skirt hurried over with her skirt in hand. By coincidence, she heard Xia Cha's last words. He covered his face and cried.

Then came the yamen who guarded the gate. It seemed that he was let in by negligence for a while, and he seemed a little at a loss.Bai Jin had no choice but to send them away, and got up to introduce the gentleman, "Sir, this is Xu, the widow of the deceased Jin Wancai."

Jun Ziyou took out the handkerchief and handed it to Xu Shi, wanting her to wipe away the tears on her face, but when he got closer, he seemed to sense a faint smile from between the fingers of the other party, although he was soon overwhelmed by tears. To cover up, but he is sure that his eyes should not be spent enough to make mistakes.

...That's right, if he were Mrs. Xu, after being beaten, scolded and tortured by the dead ghosts in his family for so long, he wished he could kill him himself.Now that Jin Wancai is dead, she has taken into account the relationship between husband and wife by not letting go of a few whips for three days.

"My lord... My lord, it is clear that although my husband drinks too much and always beats and scolds me and Abao when he is drunk, he is a good husband and a good father when he is sober. The best teacher in the school teaches A Bao. Even if the family is in a dishonorable business, he will find a way to give the best to his son. He is actually... actually a good person. "

"But after being drunk, it's like a different person. You can't bear his unreasonable beatings and scolding. In order to save your life, you have to turn to Shuntian Mansion for help. I'm right."

Mrs. Xu nodded, Bai Jin signaled her to take a seat, and dismissed Xia Cha, who was a little uneasy, at this moment, Jun Ziyou was holding a stack of autopsy results, distracted from chatting with others.

He looks good when he smiles, and he treats people with a kind of gentleness that can be seen in his words and deeds, which will make people let go of their guard.Especially for daughters like Xu who have not been treated kindly, they are easily attracted to him, and it is not difficult to think of formulas.

"Ma'am, how old is your son this year, is there anything I can do to help?"

Speaking of Aiko, Xu's eyes lit up, "A Bao will be seven years old at the end of the year. He is tall and strong, and looks much bigger than children of the same age. The only regret is that he lives in the city these days." Besides, since Ah Bao followed me, he didn't have time to go to the private school to study, and I don't know if I can make up for the missed lessons..."

This is about Junziyou's old profession, he immediately thought of a way to get the truth out of Xu's mouth, and he was not in a hurry to ask, but chose a more tactful way.

"It just so happens that I used to be a teacher, and I also live outside the capital. If Madam doesn't mind, you can come to me to study for your son's delayed homework. I live a hundred miles away from the south gate of the city. At that time, Madam will only need to pay attention to the servants. Just mention that you are a distinguished guest invited by me."

"Aren't you... the lord of the government office?"

Mrs. Xu looked at Bai Jin suspiciously, who shook his head, "Madam misunderstood, this is Mr. Jun who was ordered by the emperor to investigate this case."

"By, the emperor's order...my husband..."

"It is inconvenient for the government to disclose the details of the case for the time being, Madam, don't worry, if something happens, I will definitely send someone to inform Madam."

"So, there will be Master Laobai..." Mrs. Xu hurriedly retreated with a pale face, flustered, obviously afraid and avoiding something.

Seeing her intriguing reaction, Bai Jin had to suspect that she had something to do with Jin Wancai's death, but seeing Jun Ziyou's expression, he was disapproving.

"Sir, don't you think Mrs. Xu is a little suspicious?"

"There is not enough evidence right now. Anyone who suspects it is wishful thinking. Don't startle the snake. She has me to find out the news. Don't disturb their mother and child. As for other investigations, I have a hunch that Jin Wancai's death is just confusion. One of our barriers, if we don't investigate the two cases separately, we will never know."

As he said that, Jun Ziyou drank the last sip of tea, tightened the neckline of his cloak, and when he tied up the ribbon, he remembered what he had ordered Shen Ci to do, "By the way, I ordered someone to interrogate a criminal from the prison, and then It's the Tu Fuzi who hid Qihuang's body in the big red coffin in the Huakui case. He has been robbing tombs around the capital for a long time, and he may know the clues related to this case. We must pry his mouth open. ..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a panicked head popping out from the top of the wall. Shen Ci stumbled as he walked anxiously, and when he stepped on the soles of his feet, he fell to the ground, and he didn't even have time to rub the bruises on his head. Qing Bao, rolling and crawling all the way to the two of them, just opened his mouth out of breath, when Jun Ziyou covered his mouth.

"If you dare to say that the native is dead, I'll tear your mouth apart today."

"No no no..."

"Then what are you rushing to do in such a hurry?"

Shen Ci had already guessed his next move, covered his head before he dared to say: "Sir, that, that Tufu... ran away."

Bai Jin was the first to get anxious, grabbing Shen Ci and questioning: "What are you talking about! The prison in Shuntian Mansion is so strict that even a mouse can hardly get out, how is it possible..."

The staring eyes of the two of them could not change the fact that the man had already run away, Jun Ziyou was the first to go to the prison to check the situation, and on the way there, Shen Ci murmured in his ears: "Sir, that Tufuzi is a man who can drill holes in walls." , When I went there, the cells were all hollowed out, and the person had long since disappeared.”

But when they got to the cell, the jailer involved said something different, "My lord, the little one has never neglected his duties, and he patrols every cell every day. This man is a thorn in the strict guard, and all the brothers are It is impossible to give him a chance to dig a hole and run out if he takes turns to check."

Shen Ci said unforgivingly, "Is it impossible for a person to fly out with wings? Such a big hole is in front of you and you don't admit it. I think you are afraid of taking responsibility."

The two quarreled so violently that it hurt the gentleman's brain, so he quickly shut them up, and when he entered the cell, he could tell something was wrong at a glance, "The jailer is right, this cave is indeed It wasn't dug by the soil master."

Shen Ci pouted, "Sir, why are you helping him to speak..."

"It's not that I'm partial, Xiao Shenci, haven't you noticed that there is something missing in this room? If you dig a hole, what will definitely appear?"

The other party thought for a while, "Shovel...or some other tool."

"...Except for this?

"That's... nothing else?"

The gentleman sighed on his forehead, and Bai Jin laughed out loud, "Guard Shen, it's dirt."

If the hole is drilled from the inside out, and the residual soil is accumulated in the hole, it can only be moved to the cell to ensure the smooth flow of the hole.However, not only the guards guarding the place didn't notice it, but there was no suspicious soil in the cell, so it was obvious.

The hole is punched from the outside in.

It is indeed frustrating that the suspects related to this case have disappeared, but without a Tu Fuzi, the case may not be impossible to investigate. The efficiency of Shuntian Mansion is not so bad that Junziyou needs to order everything, so He didn't worry too much and went back to the mansion, as if he didn't care at all.

Bai Jin's head was full of confusion, "When there is a case to investigate on weekdays, sir, he can't wait to spend all day in the file, why did you go back in such a hurry today?"

Before Lu Chuan left, he only left an ambiguous sentence: "Delivery!"

It caused Bai Jin and Shen Ci to look at each other in dismay, and it was believed that during the few years he had been away from Beijing, he had moved on and fell in love with the woman, so he turned out to be the one who wanted to be a father.

As soon as the gentleman traveled back to the mansion, he couldn't wait to put the frozen snow rabbit on the roof of the car in front of the bedroom door. It was so small that it could fit a knuckle-long candle in its body. Under the reflection of the light, it looks very soft, and it warms the heart of the wanderer in the frozen world.

He said: "When I was young, my father would often make some interesting things to amuse me. I could also make ice lanterns, but he did them in a well-regulated manner and was not interesting at all. I often complained that he didn't understand children's love for playing. The old man scolded me as a child of a scholar, and I shouldn’t be playful like a wild child in the mountains, but he still learned how to make good-looking ones for me. His craftsmanship is not very good, just like the one the prince just made. I Praise the dog he made is good-looking, but he said it was a cat..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help laughing. Looking at his smiling face, Lu Chuan felt melancholy, "I really envy your family with a loving father and a filial son. To be honest, when I came into contact with this case, I felt empathy. I also lived under the atrocities of my father. Compared with the deceased, he was a bastard who was a husband in vain even if he didn't drink a drop. There is one thing that I have been hiding in the past. My mother...was beaten to death by my father of."

Jun Ziyou's heart skipped a beat. He didn't want to reveal his scars, but this was one of the few opportunities Lu Chuan was willing to open his heart to others. If he missed this time, he didn't know when he would be able to confide in him.

"It's cold outside, don't worry, it's freezing, go in quickly." He pulled Lu Chuan into the room, and like a close brother, he leaned over and got very close, stroking the latter's head, and gently kissed his Blowing on his eyes, the tears in the man's eyes dried up, "It's really hard for you..."

"My father... is a gambler. He was cheated of his family property by the Zhende gambling house in the early years. The family lived very hard and often couldn't even eat enough. My father has long lost his humanity. He wants to buy me The rich family is a servant, and they want to sell my mother to a brothel. My mother is reluctant to let me go, and she refuses to do so, so my father..." At this point, Lu Chuan choked up, and it took a long time to adjust his emotions, and then continued go down.

"Later, he hid my mother's bones in a dry well outside the backyard of the Princess Mansion. At that time, I was young, and I couldn't salvage my mother's body by myself. Others thought it was bad luck and refused to help. I was there day and night. Weeping by the well, I thought it would be good to just go with my mother. On the day I decided to throw myself into the well, it was the young prince who passed by and found me, and helped me bury my mother."

Jun Ziyou said with emotion: "My lord is really a good man... What happened to your father afterwards?"

"He committed his own crimes. He owed too much gambling debt and couldn't pay it back. He was cornered by Zhende Casino and threw himself into that dry well. I don't know why he chose to die with my mother. I would rather believe that it was my mother's wronged soul." Uneasy, turned into a ghost and came to demand his life."

Jun Ziyou poured him a cup of tea, handed it to him, and watched him drink it, "Don't be angry about the past, thinking about it will only make yourself painful, letting go earlier is letting yourself go."

"gentlemen……"

"Jin Wancai's death is full of doubts, and it also involves the case of the coffin. After the court traces it, it may be difficult for Xu's mother and son to clear up the suspicion. Don't worry, I will find out the truth before the emperor's order is issued."

It's too early to talk big, in fact, Jun Ziyou himself has no idea, and he didn't sleep well all night.

Hearing movement before dawn, he found that Xiaobai was tossing under his feet with his stomach upright, and Xiaohei was also jumping up and down without any safety, so he knew that something big was going to happen, so he quickly took a thick velvet blanket and put it at the foot of the bed. Stand aside with a quilt on.

And when Lu Chuan woke up, he heard an exclamation from the man's room, and then a thin figure in only unlined clothing got out from the crack of the door, and ran several laps in the snow with bare feet, his excitement stopped. not come down.

Xiao Hei also ran out following the man, hopping around him, leaving a series of large and small footprints of one person and one cat, which made people want to complain, but couldn't say anything.

Xiao Hei didn't mess around with Junziyou for too long, and went back to the house after he had had enough jumping. Only Junziyou was still excited, and he calmed down after a while. When he turned around and saw Lu Chuan, he immediately ran over.

"It's born! It's black, white and gray. I'm a grandfather now!!"

Lu Chuan was a little dumbfounded, and was forcibly pulled into the room by the man to see the three newborn kittens, all nestled in Xiaobai's arms, hugging each other lovingly, eyes still open, and a layer of fine fluff growing on their bodies , the little one is not as big as a palm, but it doesn't make a fuss, it just falls asleep quietly, and the little paw twitches from time to time, it's so cute.

Xiao Hei hugged Xiao Bai, licking his fur with all his heart, and let his exhausted wife fall asleep peacefully in his arms. His blue eyes watched every move of the outside world, and he had to prick up his ears to listen to every sound for a long time to confirm that there was nothing wrong with it. Only then did he close his eyes slightly to protect his wife and children.

"Sir, you have been tossing all night."

"Fortunately, the two and three little ones are not troublesome. It's a pity that I have never done such a thing as delivering a baby. It is difficult to apply the knowledge in the book in actual combat, which made Xiaobai suffer a lot. In the end Or it took care of the troubles by itself, and all I could do was cover them with a little quilt."

"By the way, sir, Mrs. Xu brought her son over early in the morning. She should be waiting for you in the front hall right now. Put on your clothes and go meet people."

Jun Ziyou thought that Mrs. Xu would have to be careful for at least a few days before finding him, and he was still struggling with how to find a suitable excuse to visit their mother and son in the past few days. I'm going out to meet people in unlined clothes.

As soon as I opened the door, it was a coincidence that I saw a sneaky man squatting in front of his room, with this figure and his back.

Xiao Beicheng looked back, with a murderous expression on his face, holding an ice rabbit lantern in his hands that were red from the cold, his posture really didn't match his current face. "Dressing like this, do you want to meet someone's little lady?"

"The lord is the one who is sneaky and wants to have a private meeting with the little lady?" After saying this, Jun Ziyou laughed, thinking that this little lady is himself?

Xiao Beicheng wiped his hands with a handkerchief, walked into the room with ease, and ordered the blushing Lu Chuan to entertain Xu's mother and son first, then warmed his hands by the charcoal fire, and then took a soft towel to wipe the soles of Junzi's feet. Slush.

"Yesterday, three more bodies were found in the cellar of Jixiang Shoucai Shop. Like Jin Wancai, a large amount of wax oil was poured into their bodies to make wax statues. Their identities have not yet been ascertained. Shuntian Prefecture has begun to call out all the missing persons within a year. The records are investigated one by one. As for the deceased Jin Wancai, it seems that other suspicious points have been found."

"What is it?"

"Xia Cha further dissected his body and found that at least half of the blood in his body was fused with the wax oil to form blood clots. This may overturn the previous speculation that Jin Wancai was not infused with wax oil when he was alive, but was injected with wax oil when he died. Not long after, when the blood in the body can still flow."

"But this is not in line with common sense. Immediately after death, the heart stops beating, and the blood flow also stops. The wax oil cannot be poured into the body at all... unless it is..." Junziyou slapped his forehead, suddenly remembered something, and suddenly realized "Ah!" With a cry, he tied his coat belt tightly and ran out.

Xiao Beicheng looked at the shoes on the ground that the man hadn't put on yet, and sighed helplessly.

When he chased after him, Jun Ziyou was already sitting in the main seat like a dog, and he was courteous to Mrs. Xu, and what he said was nothing more than words to comfort her not to worry about the case, and he praised A Bao a lot.

"Your son is so young, his appearance and conversation are so extraordinary, and he will surely become a great talent in the future. Madam, don't worry, I will tutor the young master's homework. Let's get some things. Xiao Ning, you have to treat Madam well."

The servant girl named Xiao Ning showed her face after listening to the order, bowed to Mrs. Xu, and walked away with her on her arm.This lively girl is very approachable, even if she behaves boldly, she will not make people feel rude, and it is easy for people to let their guard down.

Xiao Beicheng was busy lowering his head to tie Junziyou's shoelaces. He didn't care what other people did, but Junziyou leaned into his ear and explained like a guilty conscience: "My lord, don't think too much, this girl is a dark crow. I absolutely have no unreasonable thoughts about the killer who was raised by the young master."

"When you say this, it seems that there is no silver 300 taels here."

"No way, I'm afraid that the prince will think too much."

No time to explain too much, Junziyou was busy entertaining Jin Abao, and ordered someone to prepare some snacks that children love to eat in the study in advance. Xiao Beicheng glanced at the child and found that the boy was indeed stronger than children of the same age. He also looks more calm, and has a deliberate cuteness when he looks at people, and he is indeed well-educated.

If Junziyou hadn't noticed the fierceness and hatred flashing in Jin Abao's eyes when Junziyou turned around, he might really have believed in this kid's acting skills.

Young and ruthless... This temperament is just like that person.

"My lord, my lord?" The gentleman waved his hand in front of his eyes before Xiao Beicheng came back to his senses, "I'm going to take Abao to study my homework now, my lord, please walk around my house first, use some Have some snacks." After saying that, he dragged Jin Abao away.

In fact, Jun Ziyou is not unaware of the child's problem, but just deliberately pretending to be stupid, and acting stupid himself makes it easier to make out words.

Just as he was leading Jin Abao to the study room, thinking about how to speak to get to the point, the other party's words made him freeze in place as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Sir, I killed my father, Jin Wancai."

The author has something to say: The youngest suspect so far is on the stage, and today is also the third watch, and a thrilling plot is announced in advance.
