Qin Yan frowned, "Have all the hands and feet been chopped off?"
Little Lizi nodded with a pale face, "Yes... Uncle Zhang said so. I haven't told the young master about this yet. Uncle Zhang doesn't know what to do..."
Sun Muqing said solemnly, "Lead the way!"
Little Lizi was so flustered that he was going to let Aunt Lin make the decision, but Aunt Lin was also frightened when she heard that she was dead. Now that Sun Muqing gave the order, he immediately turned around and led the way. After all, Sun Muqing was also from the Sun family. Aunt Lin saw this He also acquiesced.
Qin Wan's face was calm, and she followed after seeing this, but Qin Yan grabbed her, "Ninth Sister, what are you going to do?"
The homicide case happened in this house, not to mention that they will stay here for a few more days, even if they don't, it is absolutely impossible for her to stand by and watch. Qin Wan struggled for a moment, and whispered, "I don't know how to return The third brother is not afraid that something will happen to us, too?"
Having said that, Qin Yan also realized the seriousness of the matter. Although Sun Muqing had good intentions and Doctor Sun was also known as a miracle doctor, how could things in this world be so simple? Apart from the homicide case right now, if it is really discussed in detail, even they can't get away with it, Qin Yan let go of Qin Wan, "I'll just go and see, you stay in the yard."
Qin Wan shook her head, "Third Brother, did you forget? I can also be medical, and anyone who is good at medical can see the way."
Qin Wan didn't want to talk to Qin Yan, but Sun Muqing turned around when he heard Qin Wan's words. Seeing that Qin Wan was going to follow without hesitation, the corners of his lips moved a few times but he didn't say anything.
Qin Shuang stomped her feet, "Don't worry, third brother. Ninth sister helped His Royal Highness and the magistrate to look at it when the accident happened earlier in the Qin family. His highness and the magistrate both trust Jiumei very much. I'm going too..."
After saying this, Qin Shuang followed Qin Wan and walked forward. In this way, it seemed that Qin Yan was a little behind. Qin Yan squinted at Qin Wan's back, and then walked forward.
The masters were all going, and Fu Ling and Wan Qing naturally followed. Xiang Zhouhuai walked up to Qin Yan quickly and said in a low voice, "My lord, this matter is a bit unusual, please proceed with caution."
Qin Yan nodded, "Go ahead and see if all our people are there, and you must not get involved in this matter."
Zhou Huai took the order and left, and Qin Yan followed the large army.
Little Lizi almost trotted forward to lead the way, and Sun Muqing turned to look at Aunt Lin again, "Aunt Lin said just now that the little pine nuts were missing, did you find them missing this morning?"
Aunt Lin is getting old, and it is very difficult to follow. Hearing this, she gasped, "Yes, there are not many people in the house. Usually, there are only servants and another cook, Mrs. Xu, cooking in the kitchen. Xiaosongzi is helping The handyman, there are only three people in total, the breakfast was almost ready this morning, but Xiao Songzi didn’t come over. The servant girl and Mrs. Xu didn’t go to the servant’s room to look for him because they were too busy. They first called Xiao Lizi to call him, but Xiao Lizi said There was no one in the human room, and seeing that it was too late, we simply asked Xiao Lizi to help."
Little Lizi walked in the front and hurriedly said, "I went to see it, Xiao Songzi was really not in the house at that time."
Sun Muqing nodded, "Go and have a look first..."
Going all the way to the east, before reaching Renxin Yuan, he turned a corner, turned left and right along a small path, and then went around under the back gutter of a yard. Just after turning the corner, a smell of blood came out. After drifting out, Sun Muqing walked in the front, and she didn't know what she saw, so she raised her hand to stop the people behind.
"Don't come over here-"
After the words were settled, Qin Shuang's face was filled with fear. She couldn't even look at a cat corpse, let alone a human corpse. She was just curious to follow, but Qin Yan said, "Don't worry, Mr. Sun. You can see it, and we can see it too, if you are afraid, just stand outside and don't go over..."
Sun Muqing didn't stop after hearing this, and the next moment, Qin Yan and Qin Wan stepped forward together.
As soon as he turned the corner, Qin Yan's eyes trembled fiercely. Although he had heard Xiao Lizi tell about the scene of the dead, when he saw it with his own eyes, he still couldn't stop his heart from trembling. Gritting his teeth, he suppressed the turbulence in his stomach.
A heavy snowfall last night made the whole Baicao Garden covered with snow again, except the place shaded by trees and under the eaves of each courtyard was dry. Xiao Songzi’s body was sitting paralyzed on the ground, with his back leaning against the wall, his head crooked Leaning crookedly, his sideburns were hanging down, and blood scum smeared his face, his eyes were wide open, the corners of his lips and chest were covered with blood, but the most frightening thing was his hands and feet. But about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a thin body and long arms and legs...
However, at this moment, his right hand was cut off on the ground, his left hand was hung on his arm with a piece of skin attached to it, and there were several scars on both legs, the blood and flesh were blurred and bones could be seen, the skin and flesh like his left hand were almost intertwined, On his chest and belly, the dark black blood condensed into ice, together with the tattered clothes on his body and the blood holes of several orangutans, it looked shockingly cruel...
Qin Yan looked carefully, the more he watched, the more he couldn't suppress the sour water in his stomach, and after a few moments, he couldn't help it, and subconsciously turned his head to avoid it, but he saw the calm and contemplative Qin Yan beside him. Guan.
Qin Yan was surprised, Qin Shuang was too frightened to come over and look outside, but Qin Wan followed in without saying anything, and the expression at the moment was even more relaxed than him...
"God... vomit..."
Aunt Lin was the last one to follow. She lacked strength and was left behind earlier. Now when she turned the corner of the wall, she let out a scream, and she turned her back and retched.
Who can stand this scene
Sun Muqing raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose, and looked at the middle-aged man standing aside with eyes filled with impatience, "Uncle Zhang?"
The middle-aged man nodded with reddened eyes, "Master Biao... It was the villain who discovered it."
"How did you find out?"
When Sun Muqing asked, the middle-aged man's face was a bit inconceivable, "I got up this morning and planned to sweep the snow on the side of the Renxinyuan, but I was short of a few things at hand, so I went to the sundries. I came to pick it up from the courtyard, but I saw a black cat before I came to the front. Yesterday, the old director told me that there might be wild cats in the yard in the past few days. If you see them, you must catch them and drive them out, villain Seeing the black cat, I immediately wanted to drive it away, but the wild cat came to this alleyway, the villain scolded me all the way, and when I turned the corner, I saw Xiaosongzi... "
When Uncle Zhang spoke, his eyes were terrified, and Qin Yan's heart tightened when he thought that if he bumped into Xiaosongzi unprepared, even he would be frightened and lose his composure...
"Where's Uncle Dong? If something like this happens, you should report it to the officials anyway. Where is the nearest government office?"
After asking this question, Uncle Zhang hurriedly said, "This place belongs to Jixian County, Yuanzhou, and the county government office is more than seventy miles to the east. If you go to report to the officials, it may take two days and two nights to go back and forth."
Sun Muqing frowned, "No matter what, you have to report to the officials. Uncle Zhang, you should quickly find Uncle Dong and come back to make arrangements."
Uncle Zhang nodded. Aunt Lin had finished retching, turned around and still didn't dare to look at Xiaosongzi, she just cried, "How could this happen? Xiaosongzi is usually the most obedient and obedient, how could he be harmed..."
Sun Muqing frowned, but stepped forward and walked in front of Xiao Songzi. Xiao Songzi died cruelly. He sat paralyzed, but a large pool of blood flowed from his body. Because it was too cold, what was left of him at this moment A lake of scarlet ice formed on the gutter floor.
Seeing Sun Muqing approaching, Aunt Lin hurriedly said, "What are you doing, Young Master Biao? Don't get your shoes dirty."
Sun Muqing narrowed her eyes slightly, "Xiao Songzi died so tragically, the murderer obviously had deep anger and hatred, Aunt Lin, does Xiao Songzi have feuds with other people on weekdays?"
Aunt Lin shook her head, "No, it's because Xiaosongzi is so obedient, so I had the idea of adopting him as a godson earlier, because it was the end of the year, and I thought I would wait until the New Year to discuss this matter."
Aunt Lin wiped her tears, and what she saw was that she was very fond of pine nuts.
Sun Muqing took a deep breath, "For a case, the first three days after the incident is the best time to investigate. We'd better investigate everything we can, and we can't really wait for the government to come over."
Aunt Lin said "Ah", but before she could speak, Uncle Dong's voice came over.
"Master Biao, how about we investigate this matter ourselves?"
When everyone turned their heads, they saw Uncle Dong coming from the corner. He first glanced at Xiaosongzi, then his eyes lowered, and then he sighed, "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the people from the government to come."
Sun Muqing frowned, "We should investigate it ourselves, but it's a homicide case, so it's better not to report it to the authorities."
Uncle Dong pondered for a moment, "Alright then, I'll go find the young master right now."
Sun Muqing sighed, "Okay, go and ask senior brother what he means."
Dong Shu glanced at Xiaosongzi again, and when he turned around, he looked at Qin Yan and Qin Wan, "Mr. Qin, Miss Qin, I'm really sorry. What happened in the house, please go back to your yard, especially Qin. Girl, don't be frightened."
Qin Yan shook his head, "Uncle Dong, don't treat us as outsiders when something like this happens, it's better for everyone to figure it out together, so as not to cause other troubles."
Qin Wan also said, "Uncle Dong, don't worry, I also have some medical skills, and I often suffer from common patients. Such scenes are not very scary."
Uncle Dong looked at Qin Wan with surprise, so he sighed and nodded. When he went out, he told the people left outside, "Keep an eye on this place, and don't let anyone else come in."
On the other side, Sun Muqing knelt down to observe the corpse carefully, "Hands and feet were chopped off by sharp knives, but the incisions were very messy. The murderer seemed to be in a rage, in order to vent... the wound on the chest and abdomen was extremely deep. I'm afraid it will be fatal."
Hearing what Sun Muqing said, Aunt Lin hurriedly said, "Master Biao really knows how to read?"
Sun Muqing did not deny it, "I can only know a little bit, the specifics need to wait for the yamen's assistant to come, it's best not to move him, find something to surround this place, and wait for the yamen's person to come to investigate. "
Aunt Lin was slightly surprised, "Aren't you going to carry people in?"
Sun Muqing shook her head, "It's cold outside, just to ensure that the corpse will not rot."
Standing behind Sun Muqing, Qin Wan saw the messy and cruel wounds even though he didn't take a close look at them. What Sun Muqing said was correct, but not detailed enough. Qin Wan was a little hesitant. No one was in charge of the overall situation at the moment. She Do you want an autopsy
Just as she was thinking, there were footsteps outside, Qin Wan turned to look, and saw Uncle Dong walking over with a serious expression, "Master Biao, I have already talked to the young master, and the young master also said that I should go to the county to ask about this matter." The people from the yamen came over, the villain has sent two people out just now, and it is estimated that the people from the county yamen will come when it gets dark tomorrow."
Sun Muqing stood up, "Okay, Uncle Dong, I told Aunt Lin just now, don't move here, people from the government office will look for clues here, just as it's so cold outside, the body won't rot. "
Uncle Dong nodded and understood what Sun Muqing meant. Sun Muqing turned around and glanced away, only to see that Qin Wan had been looking at Xiaosongzi with serious eyes. Even Qin Yan couldn't bear to watch such a scene, but Qin Wan seemed to be watching. Very focused, Sun Muqing was a little surprised, and took two steps back, "Aren't Miss Jiu afraid?"
Uncle Dong had already ordered people to prepare the fence, so Qin Wan retreated to a further place. Hearing this, he shook his head, "I'm not afraid."
Sun Muqing was slightly surprised for a moment, and Qin Shuang stood outside the corner and poked her head, "Ninth younger sister is certainly not afraid. When something happened to the Qin family, ninth younger sister helped the official uniform to examine human bones..."
What Qin Wan has done to help the government is not known in detail, but many people have seen Qin Wan's bone test. Hearing what Qin Shuang said, Sun Muqing's eyes are even brighter, "Could it be that Nine Girls Know how to do it?"
Qin Wan lowered his eyes, "Speaking of it, it was because of medical knowledge that my parents taught me some medical skills when I was young. Later, I came across some stories about strange cases and the writings of the former minister of Dali Temple, Shen Yi. , and suddenly discovered that Wu Zuoyi and the way of medicine have a lot in common, but one is to see the living, and the other is to let the dead speak."
Qin Wan raised his eyes as he said that, with a calm expression, "I was very obsessed with medicine, and seeing that the skills of wushu are similar to medicine, I found a lot of books to read. It seems that I understand more than ordinary people. .”
In the past, Shen Guan first learned the skills of martial arts and then learned medical skills. Now Qin Wan reversed the two, which not only fits Miss Jiu's background, but also prevents Sun Muqing from noticing the strangeness, and sooner or later she will be If she can't hide her skills, it's better not to hide it at all. Sure enough, after finishing speaking, Sun Muqing said with surprise, "How could it be such a coincidence..."
Qin Wan looked at Sun Muqing, "What did Mr. Sun say? What a coincidence?"
Sun Muqing took a deep breath, "I said earlier that Miss Nine's name is the same as that of my junior sister, with the word 'Wan' in it, but I didn't expect that Miss Nine is also proficient in martial arts."
Qin Wan raised his eyebrows, but he was very self-effacing, "I dare not claim to be proficient, it's just that the books I've read and what I've learned from medical skills make me understand better than ordinary people..."
"No, no, it's still a coincidence. How many girls in the world would be interested in the skills of martial arts?" Sun Muqing's chest rose and fell, and she watched Qin Wan's eyes shine, "Ninth Miss, I don't know, my little junior sister is that girl." …”
Sun Muqing's words could barely stop, Shen Yi's family has now been reduced to a family of sinners, Sun Muqing didn't know whether to mention it, sighed in her heart, Sun Muqing changed her words, "My little junior sister is also good at wielding skills, because her family There are people who do this, and she first mastered the skills of calligraphy and then studied medicine, which is exactly the opposite of Nine Girls."
Qin Wan's lips curved slightly, "It's really a coincidence, it's a pity..."
Qin Wan hesitated to speak, but Sun Muqing's eyes darkened, "Yes, it's a pity... If not, she must like to make friends with Ninth Miss." As she spoke, Sun Muqing turned to look at Xiaosongzi, "What does Ninth Miss think? "
Qin Wan narrowed his eyes, "The murderer's method was cruel, and the fatal part was a few knife wounds on his chest. Judging from the width and angle of the wound, the murderer most likely used a hatchet or other short blade."
As he spoke, Qin Wan looked at the big pool of blood on the wall above Xiao Songzi's head.
In addition to Xiaosongzi's chest and abdomen, there was a large amount of blood on the wall against which he was leaning, and there was an extremely dark mass on top of his head. Qin Wan said, "He might have been stabbed to death by someone leaning against the wall first." , and then after his body collapsed to the ground, he continued to have his arms and legs chopped off. With such a wound, if the murderer is not a lunatic who takes pleasure in killing people, he must have hated Xiaosongzi deeply."
Sun Muqing's eyes lighted up when he heard that, he had been looking at Xiaosongzi's wound, but he didn't pay attention to the blood on the wall, he nodded when he heard this, "That's right, you have already killed someone, but you don't run away quickly, Instead, he chose to continue hacking and killing on him, this person must be harboring hatred, but... but Aunt Lin said just now, Xiao Songzi never feuds with anyone on weekdays."
Qin Wan shook her head, "I don't know about this, but now we can find the murder weapon. If we find the murder weapon, it will be very easy to track down the murderer."
Uncle Dong was listening to the conversation between the two, and hurriedly asked, "Miss Jiu said that this knife is very likely to be a hatchet?"
Qin Wan nodded, "Uncle Dong, you can see if the ordinary hatchet is still there."
As soon as Uncle Dong heard this, he was about to order his servants to ask, but Aunt Lin said, "Hatchet... the kitchen is responsible for chopping wood. He chopped it up and carried it into the kitchen, I remember... I remember he had an ax and a hatchet over there... "
Uncle Dong frowned, "Little Lizi, go to Xiaosongzi's room and look at the firewood room to see if the knife is still there."
Xiao Lizi responded and left immediately. Two male servants moved over the fence and surrounded Xiao Songzi's body. Soon, Xiao Lizi ran back, "Uncle Dong, I didn't find it. I didn't find it in the room or in the house." .”
Everyone was stunned, but Sun Muqing immediately realized, "The murderer took Xiaosongzi's hatchet?"
Qin Wan nodded, "It's very possible."
After speaking, Qin Wan looked at the back gutter, looked around, and saw white snow all over the ground, except for the footprints left by them when they came just now, there were no other footprints, Qin Wan looked at the first Uncle Zhang who came over said, "Uncle Zhang, when you first found the small pine nuts, did you see any obvious footprints on the ground?"
Uncle Zhang shook his head, "No, it belongs to that cat."
Speaking of the cat, Qin Wan immediately thought of the cat's corpse, and Qin Wan said in a low voice, "It's a bit difficult to find out, the murderer didn't leave any footprints, it seems that he left at least before Mao, Uncle Dong can only ask yesterday If anyone goes out in the middle of the night, if there is someone with strange whereabouts, he will be the first to be suspected. With such a heavy snow, even if the murderer leaves other clues, they will be covered up. It’s also extremely hard to find where it’s stuffed in the snow.”
Sun Muqing sighed, "Uncle Dong, please do a search first. I don't know what the murderer is doing. If we don't find out, we people will not be safe. By the way, what did the senior brother say?"
Uncle Dong hurriedly said, "The young master said that this matter should be handled by the old slave, so he will not ask questions, and wait for the people from the county government to come and hand it over to the county government."
Hearing this, Sun Muqing knew that Sun Haoyue had no intention of doing anything else, even if it was a matter of death, it would not be important to Bai Feiyan to see a doctor in his heart, Sun Muqing nodded, "Okay, then trouble Dong Uncle, there are not many servants in the house, if you need me to do something, Uncle Dong can just say it."
Qin Yan also said, "Uncle Dong, you can dispatch the guards of the Qin residence as you please."
Uncle Dong waved his hands and sighed, "No comparison, no comparison, how dare you work hard, Master Biao and all the guests, I will gather everyone together, and then let them look for it, if they can find something, that's good, if they can't find it, they can only wait for the county." Ya's people."
Qin Yan said a few more words, but Dong Shu was still embarrassed to call the people of the Qin family, so he stopped talking when he saw Qin Yan, and Dong Shu asked Qin Yan and the others to go back and rest first, and then inform them when there was a result, so As soon as Qin Yan had no choice but to lead Qin Wan and Qin Shuang back to the courtyard, Sun Muqing was a member of the Sun family, so she stayed to help.
On the way back, Qin Yan asked in a low voice, "Ninth Sister, what do you think of this matter?"
Qin Wan narrowed his eyes, "It seems to be revenge, but Aunt Lin said that Xiaosongzi is very well-behaved, and if it is an ordinary quarrel, it will not rise to the level of murder, and it is such a brutal way to kill."
Fuling saw the death of Xiaosongzi. Fuling followed Qin Wan for so long, met the headless Song Rou, met Liu Shi and Liu Butler, and saw the piles of white human bones. In this way, when she saw the scene of Xiaosongzi, she almost didn't spit it out. She was almost at the gate of the courtyard, and her back was still chilled. She couldn't imagine what kind of hatred the murderer had to stab so many knives in Xiaosongzi's body. …
"Could it be that someone wants to take revenge on Baicao Garden?"
Qin Yan paused, and suddenly said this, Qin Wan raised his brows slightly, "Revenge on Baicaoyuan?"
Qin Yan was not sure when asked, "I just guessed like this, otherwise it would be unreasonable."
Qin Wan sighed slightly, what revenge is there in Baicao Garden? Sun Haoyue did it to recuperate his wife's illness, and also saved many people nearby, but if he took revenge on Baicaoyuan, he wouldn't kill Xiaosongzi.
"We still don't understand this place, so it's not good to jump to conclusions right now."
Qin Yan nodded, "That's true. It's not easy for us to guess or interfere. You two go back first, and don't go anywhere in the courtyard. It's best to lock the courtyard door."
Qin Shuang's face paled when he heard this, "Do you want to lock the courtyard door?"
Qin Yan said "um", "What if the murderer continues to kill..."
Qin Shuang's eyes were full of fear, and she went back to the yard, unwilling to go back to the house alone, so she squeezed Wan Qing, Xiu Yun, and Qin Wan together. They didn't even have breakfast when they got up in the morning, and now they could only eat something from yesterday. The snacks brought over, and going back to the house alone in the broad daylight is quite boring, and there is no need to have someone to talk to when huddled together.
Qin Shuang was still chattering endlessly as usual, but Qin Wan just wanted to wait for news from Sun Muqing. After waiting for about an hour, there was a knock on the courtyard door, "Miss Nine... please open the door."
Hearing Sun Muqing's voice, Fu Ling hurriedly opened the door, and Sun Muqing walked in with a new meal, and said, "Let's eat first, there is always food to eat." Seeing Qin Wan looking at her earnestly, Sun Muqing said bluntly Said, "Eat first, and I will talk while eating."
Qin Wan and the others sat down, and listened to Sun Muqing while eating, "No murder weapon was found. All the servants in this mansion add up to only twenty-three people. Now that Xiao Songzi is dead, there are only twenty-two people left. Just now, Uncle Dong Aunt Lin and Aunt Lin called everyone together to question. No one went out last night, and there were two people who were sent to the county government, and someone testified for them. It was a coincidence that Xiao Songzi was alone. When he was sleeping in a wing room, two people saw him and said that the lights in his room were on at night, and later when they were sleeping, the lights in Xiaosongzi’s room had been turned off, but when he went out, no one would tell him. Know… "
Qin Wan frowned, "Impossible."
Qin Wan didn't eat much, and put down his chopsticks after listening to Sun Muqing's words, "It's impossible for everyone to have an alibi, one of them is either lying, or something is missing, the murder happened in the house , it is absolutely impossible to be seamless, have all the servants' houses been searched?"
Sun Muqing nodded, "Uncle Dong asked everyone to search each other, but nothing strange was found."
Qin Wan's eyes darkened slightly, "It seems that we can only wait for the people from the county government to come?"
There may still be omissions and incompleteness among subordinates searching each other, and others have no credibility. Only people from the government office can discover problems from the perspective of bystanders without any scruples.
But the people from the county government will have to wait until tomorrow night, among other things, the night in between makes people feel anxious.
Sun Muqing sat for a while before leaving, Qin Shuang said, "It's over now, when the people from the government office come, we may have to wait until the case is investigated before we can leave, what should we do?"
Qin Wan is also worried about this problem, but now, Qin Wan only hopes that the people from the county government will arrive soon.
…
…
The sudden murder case not only made everyone in the Qin family anxious, but also caused a layer of dark clouds to shroud the Baicao Garden. It got bigger again, and before it was dark, Qin Shuang carried a brocade quilt to Qin Wan's room.
"Wanqing, Xiuyun, go and carry that couch, you will sleep outside with Fu Ling and her tonight." Qin Shuang ordered, and went into the inner room to put her brocade quilt on Qin Wan on the bed.
Qin Wan frowned, "What do you mean?"
Qin Shuang coughed lightly, "The murder weapon hasn't been found yet, and the murderer hasn't shown any traces. I think what the third brother said is very reasonable. The murderer will probably continue to kill people, so I think we can live together to help .”
Qin Wan looked at Qin Shuang calmly, and after a few moments, Qin Shuang finally said with a bitter face, "Just let me live here, I'm really scared to live alone, although the courtyard door is locked, but the murderer crawled in What should I do?"
The faces of Fuling and the others changed slightly as Qin Shuang said, and Qin Wan looked at Qin Shuang for a second, and just when Qin Shuang thought Qin Wan was unwilling, Qin Wan said, "Hold one more quilt and do it tonight. cold."
After such a toss, Qin Shuang finally fulfilled his wish and huddled together with Qin Wan. Before going to bed, Qin Shuang was a little worried about Qin Xiang, so he took Wan Qing and Xiuyun to Qin Xiang's yard. The others thought she would sit for a while, but Qin Shuang came back angrily after a while, "It's so kind to treat you like a donkey! Why should I go to see her!"
Fu Ling looked at Qin Shuang sitting next to Qin Wan in surprise, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, Miss Six?"
Wan Qing closed the courtyard door and came in, patted the snow particles on her body and shook her head helplessly, Qin Shuang snorted coldly, "I'll tell her to be more careful, if it's impossible, you can live in my house, we'll do it anyway In a yard, but she refused to let it go, and scolded me, saying... "
As soon as Qin Shuang stopped talking, she glanced at Qin Wan, and then changed the topic, "In short! She really doesn't know what to do, so let her live there alone. When I passed by just now, I saw She will hold the pair of jade butterflies and look at it."
Fu Ling bent her lips, "Miss Six, don't be angry, Miss Fifth has her own concerns."
Qin Shuang snorted softly, "That's not it... She has big ideas, I can't control her, forget it, let's wash up and rest early, I just hope that the snow will stop early tonight..."
Fu Ling looked at Qin Wan, saw that Qin Wan nodded his head and waited for her to freshen up. Not long after the lights in the room were turned off, several people slept together. Not to mention, there were more people in the room than before. So uneasy.
Even so, this night was spent in a light sleep, and Qin Wan woke up early the next morning.
Qin Wan is not used to sleeping with other people, but when he turned around, he saw Qin Shuang who was sleeping soundly in the inner room, snoring slightly. Qin Wan got up lightly, but Fu Ling and others outside got up.
"Can it be quiet in the middle of the night?"
When Qin Wan asked, Fu Ling nodded hurriedly, "There is no sound at all, and the snow has stopped!"
Qin Wan went to the window to look. Sure enough, the snow outside had stopped.
Qin Wan felt relieved, and just after washing, there was another knock on the courtyard door, and Zhou Huai's warm and deep voice said, "Ninth girl... It's time for breakfast..."
Qin Wan glanced at Wan Qing, "Go and call your lady."
Saying this, he went out and responded, Fu Ling opened the courtyard door, and Qin Wan headed towards Qin Yan's courtyard, but Sun Muqing was nowhere to be seen when he arrived in the courtyard. While hesitating, Qin Yan seemed to see her thoughts, "Mr. Sun has gone to Miracle Doctor Sun's place, and won't have dinner with us in the morning..."
Qin Wan saw that Sun Muqing just wanted to know what was going on in the mansion, so he nodded his head when he heard the words. After a while, Qin Shuang arrived in the courtyard, and everyone had dinner together. Qin Yan, Qin Wan, and Qin Shuang all had gloomy faces, only Qin Xiang looked very good and in a good mood, she seemed in no hurry to leave, and was lucky because she didn't see the scene of the dead. Well, after finishing his meal, Qin Xiang went back to his yard alone.
Qin Wan and Qin Shuang also went back separately. After noon, Sun Muqing arrived at Qin Wan's courtyard.
"Senior brother Haoyue went down yesterday to see Xiaosongzi, and ordered all the servants to live in one place, so that anyone who commits misconduct can be discovered by everyone. Nothing happened last night. I don't know if it is because of this."
"Living together is indeed a good way to protect and supervise each other."
Sun Muqing sighed, "I asked Uncle Dong and senior brother how the servants in the house came. Uncle Dong said that half of them were bought from outside when they settled down half a year ago. Uncle Dong bought them himself. Uncle used to be the housekeeper of the mansion in Yizhou, and he made a thorough investigation when he bought it. Both the little chestnut and the little pine nut were bought at that time. Accepting him as a adopted son, he is also very filial to Aunt Lin, last night, Aunt Lin fell ill crying, and only got up this morning after drinking medicine, really, who would have thought that such a thing would happen."
Qin Wan's heart sank slightly, "I was worried that something happened last night, but everything is fine. It will be fine when the county government's messenger arrives tonight. Don't worry about Mr. Sun. Does Mrs. Sun know about this?"
Qin Wan only felt that Bai Feiyan was ill and it was inappropriate to know about these things, but Sun Muqing shook her head, "My sister-in-law has been in a coma for the past few days, so of course she doesn't know about it, although nothing happened last night, But the murderer's methods are so cruel, one day he cannot be relieved until he is found out..."
When Qin Wan heard this, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his mind, "That's right! That person..."
Sun Muqing was taken aback, and Qin Shuang, who was also in the room, didn't know what Qin Wan was talking about. Qin Wan looked at Qin Shuang, "Do you remember? That person we met that night, Uncle Dong said he was insane..."
Qin Shuang's eyes suddenly revealed, "I remember! Of course I remember! The person who suddenly appeared and surprised us!"
Qin Wan nodded, and looked at Sun Muqing, "I remember telling Mr. Sun that on the first night we came here, when we went out to get things, we met a delirious person. Uncle Dong said he was locked in the house. patients."
Sun Muqing also realized immediately, "Yes, yes, Miss Nine said it!"
Qin Wan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Uncle Dong asked the servants, but did he ask the sick people in the house?
