Go back to ancient times to explore the case

Xie Yu'an cursed in her heart, she suspected that the system just didn't like her, and used different tricks to punish her, Mr. Yan just said not to disturb her, now she is rushing to charge, isn't that courting death?

She pondered for a while, she didn't have the guts to secretly charge it now, no matter what she could do, she could only wait for Master Yan to fall asleep.

So she waited and waited, and finally put herself to sleep.Until there was a sudden thunder outside the house, she was startled awake, half-closed her eyes and shouted in a daze: "Charge, charge, charge, don't rush!"

As a dazzling lightning flashed across the night sky, a gasp sounded in the room.

"Father!"

The voice came from Xie Yu'an's side. She woke up suddenly when she heard the voice, and turned her head to look. Under the moonlight, Yan Qingchuan's face was covered with a thin layer of cold sweat, and her hair was glued to her forehead.

Her facial features were tightly wrinkled, her hands were tightly clutching the quilt, her chest was violently heaving up and down, as if she was enduring some extremely unbearable pain.

Broken whimpers continued to escape from between her lips and teeth.

"Father... Mother, don't, don't leave me."

Yan Qingchuan had a nightmare, and the moment Xie Yu'an realized it, she leaned over, hugged Yan Qingchuan, pressed against her ear, and comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay, it's all over, it's a dream, it's a dream."

Yan Qingchuan grabbed the skirt of her shoulders and held it tightly. She regained her sanity a little bit, but she still couldn't wake up from the nightmare of torrential rain that had been happening for several years.

That day, she rushed out of the crowd and stopped before the execution convoy, causing turmoil on the scene, so that the court had to change the date of execution, but she was not lucky enough, the news that Minister of the Ministry of Punishment hanged himself in prison the next day to apologize spread all over the capital, On the same day, when the mother heard the bad news, she committed suicide and followed her father.

That day, like a nightmare, was imprinted in her mind forever, and she would never forget it for the rest of her life.

"Auntie..."

Xie Yu'an was taken aback, did he become a mother again by Mr. Yan?She even started to have some doubts. Could it be that she was the one who was acting affectionate before, but Master Yan was only touched by the brilliance of motherhood in her?

She was so cold in her heart, she hurriedly lowered her head to hold Yan Qingchuan's face, and asked, "Master Yan, are you awake now? Do you know who I am?"

Yan Qingchuan's clear eyes were slightly misty, she blinked slowly, and frowned slightly, "Xie Yu'an?"

Xie Yu'an's heart fell back into her stomach, and she quickly responded "Hey" and then seeing Yan Qingchuan's obedient and obedient appearance, her heart turned into soft fingers, wanting to hold Master Yan in her arms and rub her round flat.

But she didn't have the courage, so she could only think about it.

She stroked Yan Qingchuan's back, and continued to comfort her: "It's all over, Wen Ruo, it's all over." But the moment she called out this name, she obviously felt the person in her arms stiffen, and then fell down. In a moment, he was pushed away unexpectedly.

Yan Qingchuan panted slightly, the red corners of her eyes were still wet, she looked at Xie Yu'an with extremely complicated eyes, and there was a little bit of anger, "Don't call me like that again, who do you think you are?"

Xie Yu'an let go of his hand, and suddenly felt the strangeness in Yan Qingchuan's words.

Again?Why did Lord Yan say goodbye? She only called this name twice, one just now, and the other was the night when the system erased Yan Qingchuan's memory. She shouldn't remember it.

Shocked, she unconsciously called out, "System, system, what's going on!"

Yan Qingchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, displeasure appeared on his face, she turned over and pressed Xie Yuan under her, the black hair on her back slid down, and landed on both cheeks of the person under her, "Who the hell is the system?!"

Xie Yu'an was distracted by this ambiguous and dangerous posture, she couldn't see clearly Yan Qingchuan's bright and dark facial features under the moonlight, she only felt that her whole body was engulfed by the cold fragrance on the other party's body, and she couldn't help but feel agitated.

Seeing her delay in answering, Yan Qingchuan stepped back slightly, closed his eyes and said, "Do I look alike to her?"

???

Xie Yu'an's big eyes showed deep doubts, she faintly felt that the development of this conversation was a bit off track.

Yan Qingchuan straightened up completely, closed his loose skirts, and resumed his indifferent appearance, "I understand."

Xie Yu'an half propped up his body and said, "What do you understand??"

Yan Qingchuan stared at her, with an expression that saw Xie Yu'an thoroughly, and his thin lips parted slightly, "The reason why you approached me by any means is because I am similar to that woman."

"what?"

There seemed to be a storm brewing in Yan Qingchuan's eyes. She suppressed her anger and said, "I tell you, I am not anyone's substitute. If you mention the name of the system in front of me again, you will immediately get out of Qingtian Division."

Xie Yu'an was speechless, unable to understand why the style of painting suddenly changed to stand-in literature, she wanted to shake Yan Qingchuan's shoulder and said: "Be sober, Master Yan! The system is not a person, why are you fighting with it. "

Yan Qingchuan lay down in his clothes, far away from Xie Yu'an.

Xie Yu'an rubbed the tip of his nose, for a moment he wanted to reveal his identity, but after thinking about it, Mr. Yan would never believe it, so he had to give up, get out of bed in desperation, and ran out of the house under the pretext of going to the bathroom.

"System, you die for me!"

"Hi host, Qingtian system will serve you wholeheartedly."

Xie Yu'an said in a low voice: "What's the matter with you, didn't you ask you to erase the memory of Master Yan's night? She didn't forget it at all!"

After two seconds of silence, the system electronic voice replied without apology: "After inquiry, there is a bug in the memory erasure program, and it is in a state to be repaired."

Xie Yu'an said violently: "You brag about yourself so much all day long, and this is the end? I don't care, you have to make it up to me."

"Compensation for what?"

Xie Yu'an decided not to waste such an opportunity of a super cheat, maybe it will come in handy in the future, so he said: "I haven't thought about it, I owe it first."

"it is good."

In the early morning of the second day, Yan Qingchuan and Xie Yu'an separately visited Zizai Village and nearby towns to inquire about the case of the mountain temple 15 years ago. Finally, in a village not far from Kaiyang County, they inquired about the woman's original past from the villagers. The place of burial.

Because the case happened in the heat of summer, the corpse was afraid of decay, so it was buried in the county government morgue for three days without claiming it.

The burial place is a cemetery in the wilderness not far from the county seat.

When Yan Qingchuan and Xie Yu'an rushed there, it was dusk, the sky was dim, a large piece of ruined monuments stood on the barren outskirts, and there were black crows standing on the dead branches in the distance, making rough calls, occasionally The wind passed by, making people panic.

According to the villagers, the woman's tomb is in the southeast corner. Yan Qingchuan and Xie Yu'an searched for it, and finally saw a wordless stone tablet standing on the well-trimmed ground. In front of the stele is a handful of flowers that have not yet withered, apparently someone has come to pay homage to it recently.

Xie Yu'an walked over in a few strides, and was about to pick up the flowers for inspection, when the tip of her nose suddenly itched, and she sneezed several times, she covered her nose and took a few steps back, feeling a bad premonition in her heart.

She had smelled the smell of this flower before, and she recalled it with a frown.

Yan Qingchuan picked up the flowers, his gaze became much deeper, "This is Su Yuanhua, usually used by children to pay homage to deceased relatives, the fragrance of the flowers is long-lasting, and will not leave for a long time."

After this reminder, Xie Yu'an suddenly remembered that she had smelled this smell when they passed by Gu Qifeng on the day they left Qingtian Division.

At that time, Gu Qifeng was returning to the Yamen with a few young men who did not know what had happened.

young man!

Cao Dian!

"Oops, Master Yan, hurry up, let's go back quickly, Cao Dian is in danger, the murderer has infiltrated Qingtian Division."

Yan Qingchuan shrank his pupils, didn't ask any more questions, and immediately rushed back to Qingtian Division with Xie Yu'an day and night.

It was dawn when they arrived, and Yan Qingchuan got off his horse first and walked into the gate, only to see a group of people standing outside the room where Cao Dian was placed, with earthy faces.

With self-blame on his face, Xu Jin knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, it was our negligence that gave the murderer an opportunity to sneak into the department. Cao Dian... has already been killed."

Yan Qingchuan pushed him away and opened the door, a bloody smell came over his face.

Just like the previous two victims, Cao Dian was tied to a chair naked from the upper body, but perhaps because of the urgent time, the murderer chose to cut his throat instead of wearing a collar that tortured his mind.

But even so, he did not forget to write the nursery rhyme in blood representing revenge on Cao Dian.

Rong Shi said with a serious expression: "The murderer entered the Yamen among the hooligans that Gu Qifeng brought back yesterday. He escaped from prison and killed Cao Dian in the early morning."

Xie Yu'an walked into the room and raised Cao Dian's chin. His face was bloody, his mouth was empty, and his tongue had been pulled out.

She withdrew her hand, took a deep breath and said, "First kill the magistrate of Kaiyang for insulting his mother, second kill Cao Yu for cold-blooded spectatorship, third kill Cao Dian cowardly escape, never mentioning revenge... He Won't stop."

"Get out of the way! What's going on!" At this moment, Gongsun Zan's voice sounded like a bell.

He pushed aside the crowd and entered the room. Seeing this scene, he glared angrily and said, "What's going on!"

The officials at the side quickly explained the situation to him, and Gongsun Zan was furious after hearing this, "How dare you openly break into the Qingtian Division to kill people, how brave you are, you didn't realize it, and let the murderer know nothing about it." Human realm, free to come and go, what do you all eat!"

Everyone was trained to be trembling and lowered their eyebrows, and they all dared not answer.

"Gu Qifeng, get the hell out of here."

Gu Qifeng timidly walked up to Gongsun Zan and explained, "Lord Siwei, my subordinates are..."

"Since you introduced the murderer, I order you to find him now! Get a portrait immediately and arrest him all the way! If you can't find him within three days, you will take the blame and resign yourself!"

"Yes, yes..." Gu Qifeng nodded and bowed, and immediately led the people away.

"This matter is strictly confidential. Don't spread it to outsiders. If it spreads, Division Qingtian's majesty will be swept away, and His Majesty will commit the crime. We will all be blamed." After Gongsun Zan gave the order, he looked at Yan Qingchuan, and said in a milder tone, "Hurry up."

What to hold on to, it goes without saying.

A murder case of a court official has not been solved for a long time, and it has triggered two murder cases. In previous years, these were all serious and serious cases that attracted everyone's attention. Seeing that the Lantern Festival is approaching, the murderer is still waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. A time bomb that detonates at any time is frightening.

And Yan Qingchuan, as the first person in charge of the case, is under pressure to solve the case.

To get ahead of the murderer and find his remaining target of revenge, both Yan Qingchuan and Xie Yu'an knew that this was their only way to solve the case right now.
