Afterwards, Jing Rong and the others stayed in the county government mansion. Fang Mingsan arranged several clean rooms, and asked people to prepare meals, taking care of everything.
In order not to waste time, Ji Yunshu asked Fang Mingsan to bring the case files of the three cases.
When Zhang Zhaotou handed it to her, he wondered, "Has Mr. Ji been to Yuzhou before?"
Ji Yunshu turned over the file without raising his head.
"Come here once."
"when?"
"months ago."
"Then... have you been to an inn?"
"I've been there."
"Did there ever be a murder in that inn at that time?"
A desperate look!
Ji Yunshu raised his eyelids and glanced at him, the corner of his mouth lifted slightly, and said, "It happened once."
"That case was..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ji Yunshu said, "Zhang Zhaotou seems to have something to say."
"No, it's just that you look like someone in your body shape and walking, sir."
"Someone? Which someone?"
interesting!
Zhang Zhaotou said, "A girl with the same surname as Mr. Rong quickly solved a murder case in an inn outside Yuzhou a few months ago. At that time, Wang Rong was there."
What he meant by that was clear.
Obviously, I want to say that this Mr. Ji is the woman wearing the veil a few months ago.
It's just that there is still a trace of suspicion in my heart, and I dare not directly conclude.
Ji Yunshu smiled lightly and closed the case file in his hand.
Said, "Zhang Jutou is indeed a person who doesn't like to pretend to be confused."
"What do you mean by that, sir?"
"When I saw Zhang Zhaotou a few months ago, my words and actions were the same as now, and since you already know my identity, I won't hide it. It's just Zhang Zhaotou, who is now dressed in men's clothes. It is also for the convenience of doing things, and please keep your mouth shut and go to the next convenience."
She admitted it!
Zhang Zhaotou's eyes suddenly glared, and he said excitedly, "It's really you, Miss Ji, I said, you must be, I really didn't expect that Miss Ji at the time has become the famous Mr. Ji in the capital now, it's really disrespectful. sorry."
After saying that, he bowed deeply and bowed his hands!
It was as if he had seen some living Buddha.
Ji Yunshu, "..."
"When I saw Miss Ji solve the case, it was amazing, and it also opened my eyes. Not long after my husband entered Beijing, he solved another disappearance case that the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment could not solve for a few months, and it took another fourteen years. The previous "Linjing Case" is really admirable, and I heard that before Mr. entered Beijing, he also solved a lot of cases in Jinjiang City, and the piles were all major cases. I didn't expect to see you today, Miss Ji. , and it is my honor to investigate the case with you."
Keep your chest up!
It was difficult to hide his excitement.
Ji Yunshu smiled modestly, and said, "Zhang Zhaotou, you should call me Mr. Ji. Miss Ji, who you said to your left, really made me shudder."
If people know her female body, trouble will come.
Zhang Zhaotou said quickly, "Yes, Mr. Ji."
Ji Yunshu stopped talking to him, opened the other files again, and read them carefully.
The general content is similar to what the old man and Fang Mingsan said in the ruined temple before.
The night before the death of the three deceased people, they all claimed to have seen ghosts. On the second night, Zi Shi found that they had been hanged from a tree in their own yard, with their feet stretched out, their fingers stiffly curled, and their eyes widened. Grim face.
Like... scared to death!
But why did the murderer scare the three dead and hang them from a tree
Ji Yunshu has no clue yet.
She turned over the case file again, and suddenly raised the case file and asked Zhang Zhaotou, "Is this case file written by your county government?"
"No, it was recorded by our master."
"The master of your county government is a careful person, and the content of the records is very detailed."
"That is, the master in our yamen is a scholar, young and promising."
Oh
Zhang Zhaotou continued, "His name is Wen Lingyang, a well-known talent in Yuzhou City. After he became a scholar, he entered the yamen as an official. He was a good handwriting writer, and many people asked him to write letters to the family."
"I didn't see him just now."
"Lingyang went to the deceased's house and wanted to know more about the situation. At this time... he should have come back."
I saw a tall man walk in outside.
Supao was on his body, neat and clean, and the white face was even more like a scholar, and there was a spiritual light in his deep eyes, which made people unable to quickly move away from his sight.
This person called Wen Lingyang is very similar to Ji Pei!
For a moment, Ji Yunshu suddenly thought that he was Ji Pei.
Seeing her staring at him, Wen Lingyang had no idea in his mind, so he cupped his hands at her and said, "It must be Mr. Ji? I'm sorry, just before Wen went to Chang's house and couldn't meet Mr. Ji, it's a bit rude, please forgive me. "
The voice pulled Ji Yunshu's thoughts back.
She got up immediately, walked around the table in front of her, and bowed her hand in return, "Master Wen is serious, you are running around for the case, why did you fail?"
Wen Lingyang smiled and glanced at the case file she had spread out on the table.
"I don't know if you can read these case files, sir?"
"Look."
"If there is anything unclear, you can ask me sir."
Ji Yunshu picked up the case file and said, "The case file recorded by Master Wen is the most detailed I have seen in the past few years. Even the historian who recorded the file in the imperial court did not remember it in detail."
"Mr. Ji has won the prize."
"Just now I heard from Zhang Zhaotou that Master Wen went to the deceased's house again. I wonder if there are other discoveries?"
Wen Lingyang shook his head and sighed, "There are very few clues, and there are no traces left by the murderer. I went to check the tree where the dead man was hanged, and there were no clues."
"The three dead people have already been buried?"
"Two have been buried. The deceased who died a few days ago will be buried tomorrow, so I went over to see if I found anything else."
Ji Yunshu thought for a while, then continued to ask, "How detailed is the yamen's work experience? Are the streak marks on the neck and the curling of the tongue in the right direction? Are there any other wounds on the body, and the degree to which the deceased's hands are curled, etc. These, Have you checked everything out?"
A series of deductions!
When Zhang Zhaotou heard it, he didn't react.
Wen Lingyang took her words one by one and said, "I have tested it and said that the deceased was hanged, there were no other streak marks on the neck, and there were no other wounds on the body, and the deceased's hands were curled in the direction of the palms. , It should be the reason why he struggled before hanging, because there are small threads in the nails where the hanging rope was found, and there is no clue to the murderer."
"What about ghosts and gods?"
"According to the family of the deceased, the deceased were all hit by ghosts when they came home at night, and they were all in the same place, that is, in the guest room of Chang'an Institute."
"Yep?"
"It is said that a few years ago, a eunuch died in a room on the second floor of the Chang'an Institute, and it happened that the three deceased people hit a ghost in the same room, so there is a story of grievance."
Reasonable answer!
It's a pity to be a teacher in the county government alone!
Ji Yunshu frowned, "Where is Chang'an Institute?"
"It's... a place to have fun."
brothel!
