Mu Lin first looked at Qing'e and the others, seeing that they were full, he asked Qing'e to take Mu Wan Muxiu to rest.Now that Qing'e is pregnant, he doesn't say many things in front of her, besides, Xiu'er is still young, so it's not good to leak anything when she is outside.

On the other hand, Mu Wen and Mu Wu sat still, met Mu Lin's gaze, and smiled.

Mu Lin didn't care about the two of them, and just said: "Listen, just listen, don't talk nonsense outside."

Mu Wen hurriedly said: "Brother, don't worry, we all know."

Mu Lin then said: "Wu Zuo gave further investigation results yesterday, mainly the time of death, which is three to ten years, which is very vague and the span is too large. The age of the deceased is fifteen to thirty years old. Later we will The secret room where the bones were dug out was searched through, and several pieces of jewelry were found, which should have been worn by the woman. The gold beads and jade hairpins are nothing special, but there is a red agate cup, the size of a baby's fist, no matter the workmanship or the color, they are all Treasures, very rare."

"Crimson agate cup?" Chen Shiliuyi felt refreshed and asked, "What kind of cup?"

Mu Lin said: "It's about an inch high, with a lotus leaf mouth, a chilong handle, and a small ring. There are water patterns and fish swimming at the bottom of the cup."

"This should be a pair of cups!" Chen Shiliu said: "Looking at the style and decoration, it looks like the newlyweds drink the wine. The lotus leaves, water patterns, and fish symbolize the marriage and the harmony of fish and water. The red agate is very It's expensive, ordinary people can't afford it, even the Shen family probably doesn't have this luxury."

Mu Qingyan said: "Since it is such a precious thing, it should be easy to check."

Generally speaking, this kind of precious agate will definitely not be carved by ordinary people, and it is necessary to find a famous craftsman to be worthy of such a good material.

Mu Lin's expression did not improve: "I also know this, but there are no craftsmen of this level in Fenglin County."

Once beyond Fenglin County, it is equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack. If you don't have a direction, how can you find it?If it is said that finding a craftsman to cast the net, the method is feasible, but it is actually impossible.The county government has limited manpower, and there are many affairs every day. He has only a few people under his command, and it takes time and money to cast a net to search.

"Lieutenant Lu actually said that he made a hole in Shen's family. The most suspicious person is Shen Youyun, but this Shen Youyun is out for more than half of the year, so it is hard to find. If you say that the official arrest document is issued, there is no evidence. Besides, I’m also afraid of scaring the snake.” Therefore, Mu Lin didn’t know where to start.

Wen Jixue, who had never been involved, suddenly said, "I don't know, can I have a look at that agate cup?"

Mu Qingyan turned to look at him, and saw that his eyes were dark and his aura was different from before.

Mu Lin was also surprised: "Mr. Wen, has he seen this kind of agate cup?"

"Not sure if I've seen the one before." The implication is that he has indeed seen something similar.

Mu Lin was very straightforward, and immediately said: "It's easy to handle. You can go to the county government with me. It's nothing else. This agate cup is not only a physical evidence, but also an extremely valuable item. County Captain Lu may lose it. Strictly order Take care of it, and it is not allowed to take it out of the county government."

Wen Jixue nodded, a little absent-minded.

Chen Shiliu looked at Wen Jixue thoughtfully, but his attention was still on the case.

"Brother Mu, did the Shen family check? The deceased is not from the Shen family?" After all, even if an agate cup is found in the secret room, it does not necessarily belong to the deceased.Furthermore, it is unrealistic for someone to kill her and leave behind the precious agate cup.

"It's been too long, and the investigation is still going on."

The Shen family was haunted seven years ago and moved in the same year.

Therefore, the Shen family's old house has been vacant for seven years. Mu Lin tends to believe that the deceased died before the Shen family moved, and also doubts whether the deceased is related to haunting.It's all just speculation for now.

"The Shen family is also a big family, and there are many old in-laws. The deceased may be a servant, or a relative from outside, or even some other identity. Not to mention anything else, Shen Youyun has come into contact with a lot of women, and investigation is also a difficult task."

Shen Youyun is a romantic talent, not interested in common affairs, and has always traveled abroad for many years.He didn't simply travel around the mountains and rivers. Everywhere he went, there must be a confidante.I don't know how many people are envious and jealous, and sigh his good life.He is clearly the eldest son, but he doesn't care about family affairs. He married a capable wife, not only firmly controlling the power in the hands of the eldest son, but also not interfering with his indulgence outside.

Except for his wife, Qu Shi, Shen Youyun did not take concubines, and his surroundings were very clean.

Outsiders believed that this was a "tacit understanding" between the couple, Shen Youyun gave Qu Shi a decent respect, and Qu Shi ignored his other matters.After all, once Shen Youyun left Fenglin, confidante friends blossomed everywhere, but he never brought back any of them, let alone produced any illegitimate children.

Mu Lin suspected that it was Shen Youyun who broke the balance and brought a confidante back home, which aroused Qu's anger and eventually died.

Therefore, Mu Lin's suspicion is not only Shen Youyun, but also Qu's, and even Qu's is even more suspicious.

Don't look at it as the Shen family's secret room, but Qu's family has been in the business for many years, and as the eldest daughter-in-law, she is quite capable, so it is not surprising even if she knows the existence of the secret room.

Mu Qingyan asked: "What is the secret room of the Shen family used for? Don't the brothers of the Shen family know about it?"

"The three brothers, Shen Fuli, said they didn't know. The secret room contained nothing but bones, which could cause it to collapse. It must have been left unused for many years. As for the purpose of the secret room, some people speculated that it was for storing food or hiding treasures, and there were also guesses about wine. The Shen family’s old house is more than 100 years old, and it may have been through wars, so it is reasonable to dig a secret room to store food, gold and silver.”

"Brother is waiting for me at the county office tomorrow. Wen Jixue is going to go to see the agate cup. I'll look at the information collected by the county office." Originally, Mu Qingyan would not have objected to Mu Lin's proposal, let alone Wen Jixue caring about it.

That day Mu Wan didn't stay with any of them, she just said that they lived nearby and it was convenient to come and go.

Mu Wan didn't stay, mainly to take care of Qing'e.Qing'e is pregnant, so she doesn't like to go out, especially staying out overnight is even more inconvenient. Even when she chooses a bed, the unfamiliar environment will make her feel a little anxious.If Qing'e goes back, there's nothing reassuring about being alone.Although Mu Xiu likes the villa, she refuses to stay alone.Mu Wen and Mu Wu hesitated for a while, but went back to ferry to take care of the shop, and only came back to live after the festival.

A new house is good, but a new house deep in the mountains is not very attractive to young people.

Chen Shiliu was an exception. He was a little drunk and wanted to go to the county government office together tomorrow, so he stayed there despite Wen Jixue's cold face.Of course, he slipped away very consciously, not daring to disturb the two of them being alone, especially Wen Jixue's mood was not right.

The residence of Mu Qingyan and Wen Jixue is in the second half of the villa, which is the largest main courtyard.

There are all kinds of flowers, plants, mountains and rivers in the courtyard, just like a small private garden, where the two of them live very comfortably.

When you first enter the courtyard, it is a formal courtyard. The front is the main hall for receiving guests, and there are corridors on both sides. There is a door leading to the back at the corner.A stone-filled corridor, flowers and plants grow randomly on both sides, there is a rugged rockery seated here, the rockery is covered with vines, bypassing the rockery is the house to live in.

There is a white magnolia in front of the house, which blooms twice a year, and now it is full of greenery blooming with jade white.

There are stone tables and chairs under the tree, Xiao Nan set out some tea and left.

Both of them drank a lot of wine, thirsty, and sat under the tree to drink tea.

"Our family once had a pair of red agate cups, just as Mu Lin described." Wen Jixue said.

It is still not sure whether it is the pair of agate cups from Xue's family, but when it comes to the old things in the family, it is inevitable to be emotional.The Xue family is gone, and the property of the Xue family will naturally be confiscated, who knows who will fall into the hands.However, although the red agate cup was a precious thing, it was nothing to the Xue family at that time. The reason why he remembered it was because the uncle who gave the gift joked that it was a big wedding gift given to him in advance. The gift is used to drink Hebei wine when concluding a mandarin alliance with the bride, and the love will never be separated for life.

The Xue family started with Wu, with a straight temper, and most of his subordinates and colleagues were of the same kind. At that time, everyone in the room made fun of him.Although he was young at the time, he felt ashamed and annoyed, thinking that he would smash the pair of cups when he found an opportunity.

Mu Qingyan put his hand on his face, awakening him from his memories.

"Whether it is true or not, we will know tomorrow."

"It's true." Wen Jixue stopped thinking about that, looked at his red face, and helped him up very considerately: "I think you are a little drunk, go to sleep for a while."

This sleep is not the other, and when I got to the room, it was quite a toss.

In the early morning, Mu Qingyan opened his eyes amidst the melodious singing of birds.

The window was half open, and the gauze curtain was shaking in the morning light. There were two birds on the tree outside the window combing their feathers while dancing and singing.The morning in the mountains is extraordinarily quiet and peaceful.Although it is already midsummer, the temperature in the mountains is lower, so I can sleep comfortably at night with a thin quilt.

The morning light was shining golden, and he lay still, looking a bit lazy.

In Wen Jixue's eyes, at this moment, half of Mu Qingyan's body is exposed outside, with some red and purple marks scattered on his white complexion, his long hair is messy, and some of them get into the quilt along the collarbone of his chest, which makes people think even more. Peep more spring.For Wen Jixue, such a Mu Qingyan was too alluring, so he came to the bedside, pressed her down and kissed her hard, and then tucked his hands into the quilt dishonestly.

Caught off guard, Mu Qingyan gasped slightly from being kissed, pulled out his troubled hands, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Go and prepare hot water, I want to wash."

I was so tired last night, I just wiped it off and fell asleep.

"It's still early." Wen Jixue dawdled her body twice, and said in a deep voice that the meaning behind the words was exhausted.

"No!" Mu Qingyan refused bluntly, and wrapped his whole body in the quilt with a cold face: "Go fetch water!"

Seeing that there was no room for change, Wen Jixue had no choice but to suppress her eagerness to move, and follow the instructions to prepare.

When he arrived at the county government office, Mu Lin had been waiting for a long time.

"Let's go to see the agate cup first. I told Lieutenant Lu earlier, I can take you in." Mu Lin said while looking at Mu Qingyan: "Second brother, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Mu Qingyan's face was especially tired.

"Well, there are many bugs in the mountains." Mu Qingyan made an excuse casually.

Without any suspicion, Mu Lin nodded and said, "It's cool in the mountains, but there are many plants and insects. Get some wormwood to fumigate the walls, light incense in the house, cover the doors and windows with fine gauze, and be more careful when you go in and out. The villa is well built, and the window screens can't be sloppy, if you use Xiaying gauze, it will be beautiful."

"What is Xiayingsha?" Chen Shiliu thought for a long time, but he didn't know.However, there are many names of silk and satin in various colors, and he is not a boudoir woman, so it is not surprising that he does not know.

On the contrary, Wen Jixue looked at Mu Lin in surprise.
