Whoever ran in front would be the winner!
Ji Yunshu had said that he had something to take a look at, but why was the handkerchief empty?
Wasn't this a joke?
Mo Ruo had wanted to ask about it yesterday, but when he heard that Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu had gone to the ruined temple to investigate the Dried Well Case, he waited for a day.
Today, he purposely came to ask!
Ji Yunshu looked at the feather-light handkerchief in her hand, her brows knitted together.
She didn't understand!
"How could there be nothing?"
Eaten by a ghost?
Jing Rong called Lang Po over and asked, "Teacher Ji asked you to deliver the thing to Young Master Mo. Why is it missing?"
Ah?
Lang Po was surprised.
"How could it be missing? This subordinate ordered my men to deliver it to Yuhua Pavilion untouched. They have always been careful and would never lose the thing inside. "
Mo Ruo questioned, "Are you sure your men didn't make a mistake when they delivered it?"
This …
Although Lang Po trusted his subordinates, he still called them over.
That man said, "This subordinate did not open the handkerchief. If Teacher Ji said there was something inside, then it must have been inside when he delivered it. He would never have lost it."
His tone was firm and decisive!
Ji Yunshu said to Mo Ruo, "The thing inside the handkerchief was scraped off the inside of the deceased Gao Meng's ear. It's a slightly sticky black object. I've smelled it before, and it seems to be a medicinal herb. That's why I sent it to you."
"A black object?"
"It's very small, and I'm sure it was still inside when I handed it to Brother Lang."
"That's strange." Mo Ruo swore that he really didn't see anything inside.
Jing Rong said, "Think about it carefully. Did you accidentally drop it when you opened the handkerchief? After all, it's a small black object. It's possible that you didn't know if it was dropped. "
Thus, he thought about the whole thing and pondered, "Could it be that … that lass lost it?"
Suspicion?
"Who?"
"Who else could it be other than that crazy girl making trouble in my pavilion all day long?" "That day, when the item was delivered to Yuhua Pavilion, I happened to have some matters to attend to in the palace. As soon as I returned, I saw Tang Si grabbing onto the handkerchief, wanting to denounce me. She said that the handkerchief was delivered by a young lady and insisted on pestering me. Afterwards, I asked that crazy girl and the little boy, but they both said that when the handkerchief was opened, they didn't see anything inside."
Gone for no reason at all!
Strange!
Which part had gone wrong?
Everyone could only think about it from beginning to end.
Fruitless!
Ji Yunshu could only say, "I hope that thing has nothing to do with the case. Otherwise, if it really is an important piece of evidence, it might affect the truth of the entire case."
As the saying goes, if one link is wrong, the whole chain will be in chaos.
Now, he could only pray that it was useless.
After the matter was settled —
Mo Ruo asked, "After you went to that run-down temple, did you find anything useful for the case? You should know that right now, you are in a race with Prince Yi. Whoever runs in front will be the winner! "
Ji Yunshu replied, "You know a lot, but it's too messy and messy."
They found out how the victims were killed.
They found out the names of the victims.
They found out that the murder weapon was a dagger.
They also found out that the murderer only killed people born in the Yin year, Yin month, Yin day, Yin hour.
… …
However, there were almost no clues leading to the murderer.
Jing Rong suddenly said, "I think we should start from the Yin Year, Yin Month, Yin Day, Yin Hour."
Eh?
He explained, "The victims were all thrown into the dry well under the giant Buddha. This might really be related to some kind of sacrificial ritual, and this ritual might also be related to Zhang Family Village."
Hearing this, Ji Yunshu somewhat understood.
However, Lang Po asked, "Your Highness, what does this have to do with Zhang Family Village? Why do you say so? "
"Don't tell me you don't remember what Village Head Zhang said?"
"Yes."
Thus, Ji Yunshu continued, "Are you trying to say that Zhang Family Village is talking about ghosts and gods?"
He nodded, "That's right. Ever since the Buddha in the run-down temple cracked, one or two young people would die in Zhang Family Village every year, as if the whole village was cursed. Those victims died in a very strange way, and after they died, they were all thrown into the dry well under the Buddha. It's obvious that this case is related to the Buddha, and the Buddha is related to Zhang Family Village's ghost and gods. Thus, I think that we should not focus on how the murderer moved the Buddha, but … the secret of Zhang Family Village."
Ah!
The secret of Zhang Family Village?
What secret could a run-down village, with a bunch of ignorant villagers, have?
However, his words resonated with Ji Yunshu.
She nodded, expressing her approval.
Thus, Jing Rong immediately ordered Lang Po, "Quickly go to Zhang Family Village again and ask the villagers. You must investigate clearly … what is the secret of Zhang Family Village?"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Just as he was about to go —
"Wait."
Jing Rong stopped him again.
"No, you can't go. If … there really is an unspeakable secret in Zhang Family Village, even if the villagers know, they won't say anything. Moreover, you already went yesterday, and they recognize you. They will definitely be on guard. Why don't … we send someone else to go?"
"This subordinate understands. I'll arrange it right away."
Just as he finished speaking …
"I'll go!"
A shrill voice came from outside the door.
Hearing the voice, Jing Rong looked over and saw Tang Si rushing in.
She strode in and raised her brows, "Why don't you let me go? I've been bored to death in Yuhua Pavilion these past few days. Since I have nothing to do, I might as well go and investigate. "
She was full of confidence!
She volunteered herself!
But Big Sister, your ability to do things is basically zero, alright?
Mo Ruo tugged at her and glared at her, "What trouble are you causing?"
"I'm not causing trouble."
She was clearly doing it out of goodwill.
Mo Ruo said, "This is a matter of life and death, not a matter of fighting and killing. If you make a mistake, can you bear the consequences? You only like to cause trouble. "
"I …"
Ji Yunshu also said, "Miss Tang, it's not that I don't trust you, but this isn't a matter of stealing or catching thieves. You're not familiar with the capital, so it's not suitable for you to participate in this."
Tang Si pursed her lips, "Ah Ji, do you not trust me that much? Let me tell you, in Houliao, as long as I want to know something, there's nothing I can't find out. I have a thousand ways to make people speak the truth. " She hurriedly explained, "But don't misunderstand, I said a thousand ways, not using force. Moreover, didn't you say that the villagers know you? You don't have to worry about that. When it comes to disguises, if I claim to be second, no one would dare to claim to be first. Otherwise, do you think I could easily run from Houliao to your Great Lin? "
