Black dots can be seen in six places, just forming the closed shape of the upper and lower half moons.
Qin Wan thought about it again and again, and it was indeed tooth marks.
Human teeth are the hardest bones, they can leave extremely deep wounds on the body, the wounds will heal over time, but they will eventually leave traces, the first inspection by Xu He was after the headless body was found At dawn, at that time, the corpse spot had already formed, and Xu He most likely didn't notice the small wound. Later, the corpse began to rot, and the corpse surface was green, and the possibility of being discovered was even smaller. It was Qin Wan wanted to achieve the ultimate, so he didn't miss it.
Although Qin Wan did not identify the corpse as Song Rou, it is true that nine out of ten this corpse is Song Rou.
Since it was Song Rou, how could there be tooth marks on her shoulders
Song Rou is an aristocratic girl, and she must be delicate and delicate on weekdays. She would never get to the point of being bitten when fighting with others, but if it wasn't for this, then even if Qin Wan was careless, she would just She can speculate in an ambiguous direction, because she can see clearly that the tooth marks should be within seven months.
Yan Chi's hands paused for a moment, apparently because of the unexpected discovery. Qin Wan thought for a while, and began to look at the corpse on the case. After a while, she shook her head.
The four eyes met, Yan Chi could see clearly, Qin Wan signaled that he didn't need to write down the wound.
Yan Chi nodded, and then Qin Wan went to examine the other parts of the corpse carefully. Without an autopsy, Qin Wan couldn't make a more definite judgment, not to mention the scars that were at least seven months old, Qin Wan still didn't know how to define them .
And the identity of this corpse was the key to Qin Wan's doubts.
Qin Wan stopped, his eyes were deep, Yan Chi couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking?!"
Qin Wan pursed her lips and said, "I was wondering why the murderer wanted to chop off the head of the deceased. It is common to kill people. Very few people can do this in a frenzied manner. But this man's actions are extremely quick. What kind of hatred does he have with the deceased?"
"So you doubt the identity of the deceased?"
Qin Wan nodded, "When I saw the deceased in the wedding sedan chair, everyone preconceived that it was the Song family lady, but the deceased lacked a head, so it is still impossible to determine her identity."
As he said that, Qin Wan looked at Xu He, "Xu Wuzuo, do you have a confession from the government government to inquire about Song's escort?"
Xu He heard the words and hurried over, but shook his head, "No, the confessions are all in the government office, not here." After a pause, Xu He asked again, "Why? What does Miss Nine want to know?"
Qin Wan narrowed her eyes, "I want to confirm the identity of the deceased."
As she said that, Qin Wan inspected the corpse again. She carefully examined the hands and feet of the corpse. She frowned slightly when looking at the hands of the corpse. The corpse began to rot, and the nails of the corpse also changed color. But at the same time, Qin Wan could It was obvious that Kou Dan on the nails of the deceased had not changed color, so she took a closer look, "This is Dan Hua Kou from the capital."
Yan Chi raised his brows slightly, Xu He stepped forward and said, "How does Nine Girls know?"
Qin Wan's eyes turned darkly, "Two days ago, the Marquis Mansion of the capital came to Jinzhou to send gifts for the Qiuxi Festival, and the nun who was in charge of giving the gifts brought some sundries and small items to the ladies in the mansion, including Dan Huakou. The dyed armor does not fade for a long time, not to mention that the color is much brighter than ordinary things, so it is very fashionable in the capital now... "
Of course, there was no such Dan Hua bandit among the gifts sent by the capital. She used to be raised in a deep boudoir. Although she is not as fond of dressing up as ordinary noble girls, she still knows the most fashionable things in the capital. Her mother pitied her for traveling with her father when she was young. It was quite miserable outside, but after arriving in the capital, she was very pampered in these aspects. Two months ago, my mother personally dyed her armor with Dan Hua Kou.
Qin Wan recognized it very clearly, and her heart was filled with grief. She collected herself, and then went to carefully look at the dead man's hand. The more she looked at Qin Wan's frown, the more she looked at the left hand and then the right hand. After a while, Qin Wan straightened up, as if talking to himself, "Miss Song... Shanqin?"
Xu He listened, and shook his head in confusion, "The villain is only in charge of the autopsy, and didn't read what was written in the statement, but... how did Miss Nine find out?"
Qin Wan held the deceased's hand and motioned, "The deceased's right hand is soft and white and flawless, but on the left hand, there are obvious calluses." Then, Qin Wan broke the deceased's ring finger, "First, on the left hand There are extremely thick calluses on the second joint of the ring finger, and the second one is on the joint of the thumb. There are calluses in both places. There is only one possibility, and that is left over from accumulated piano practice. So I guess, Song Miss Jia belongs to Shanqin."
Xu He's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, "After reading the confession or asking Song's guards—"
"Don't ask!" Before Xu He finished speaking, Huo Ning suddenly interrupted him. He stood at the door without moving a step, and said in a stiff voice, "I have read the confession many times, the Song family Miss is indeed good at playing the piano! She also has a famous ancient piano in her dowry."
Huo Ning also loves the piano, so he naturally has a deep memory of the information related to it, not to mention that he has read the confession many times.
Qin Wan hadn't paid attention to Huo Ning at all, but at this moment she turned her eyes to look at him. She nodded, retracted her gaze and said in a deep voice, "In this case, this corpse is almost certainly Miss Song's, but... we still have to Find Miss Song's head, and as for why the murderer wanted to chop off Miss Song's head, perhaps everything will be explained when he finds it."
"What? Are you sure?!"
While speaking, Huo Huaixin had strode back. Seeing him asking, Yan Chi handed over the certificate in his hand.
Huo Huaixin took it, took a quick glance and sighed, "Hey, if it's possible, I really would rather die than the Miss Song family." Even so, the case seems to be more complicated, but as long as the person who dies is not the Song family , he would not be so afraid of Song Guogong's mansion, but since Qin Wan ruled out this possibility, he can only use his best to solve the case as soon as possible.
"Jiu girl, I have already sent someone to visit Shili Temple. The night before coming to Jinzhou, the wedding procession stopped at Shili Temple. Does Jiu girl have any new discoveries here?"
Qin Wan shook his head, "If there is no autopsy, there are only so many clues that can be found. I hope it will be helpful to the magistrate."
Huo Huaixin said gratefully, "There are, of course there are."
Qin Wan pursed his lips and said again, "Besides, the corpse has already begun to rot. If there is an autopsy, the sooner the more clues can be found, otherwise, even if the autopsy is possible in the future, there will be no clues to be found. too much."
Huo Huaixin smiled wryly, "I know this too, it's just..."
He hesitated to speak, but Qin Wan understood. She nodded and didn't say any more. She just started to sort out the long case. Looking at the wedding dress beside her, she simply said, "Don't wear the wedding dress. Find a pair." Sackcloth will do."
Huo Huaixin and Xu He had thought this way a long time ago, and hurriedly ordered Uncle Kuan outside to find the idle sackcloth.
On this side, Xu He had already fetched water for Qin Wan and put it in the outside room. Qin Wan came out, exhaled lightly, washed the gloves first, and then began to clean his hands. Fu Ling came in from the outside at this time with red eyes. Looking at her, he said while helping her to wash her hands, "Miss, slaves are so useless."
Qin Wan laughed, "It's normal for you to do this the first time. I don't think you're useless. After vomiting for the first time, you'll be better next time. Why don't you go in and take a look now?"
Fu Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Miss, why bother to tease me, this servant is about to vomit out bile." As she spoke, her expression lifted, "But next time, this servant will definitely be many times better than now!"
Qin Wan said "Yes", "I believe you first!"
Fu Ling vomited weakly, seeing Qin Wan's appearance, he snorted angrily and was quite dissatisfied, and when he turned around, he saw Uncle Kuan standing at the entrance of the side hall at some point, looking at this side with dark eyes.
Fu Ling knew Uncle Kuan's identity, but she didn't know whether it was because of Uncle Kuan's appearance or his eyes. Seeing him standing there, Fu Ling was frightened. She froze. Qin Wan turned around and saw Uncle Kuan.
Xu Shi guarded the Yizhuang all the year round, and Uncle Kuan had a sense of eerie calm that ordinary people didn't have, as if he had been with the dead for a long time, and he was also tainted with death. Seeing him looking at him, Qin Wan couldn't help but take two steps forward, "What's wrong?"
Uncle Kuan narrowed his eyes, without a trace of expression on his face, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Miss, have you ever been to Yizhuang before?"
Qin Wan paused, then shook his head, "No."
Uncle Kuan raised his head, looked at Qin Wan strangely for a moment, and then lowered his head, "The villain saw the young lady walk in just now, and felt that the young lady has nothing to do with this place, as if the young lady is The people here are the same."
This is Yizhuang, and the dead are the ones who should appear here.
Qin Wan's heart trembled slightly, but his lips curved calmly, "Maybe it's because I cure diseases and save lives, and I don't believe in ghosts and gods, and I don't feel afraid."
Uncle Kuan didn't say any more, he closed the door of the side hall, held the lamp, and walked towards the depths of Yizhuang.
Watching him disappear around the corner in black linen, Qin Wan pursed her lips hard to suppress the uneasiness in her heart.
"Ninth girl! Grandma is still waiting for you, let's go back to the Hou Mansion!"
Yue Qing's voice brought Qin Wan back to his senses. She turned around and took a steady breath before walking out calmly. She didn't go directly to the carriage, but walked to Huo Huaixin who was giving orders to the servants.
Seeing Qin Wan approaching, Huo Huaixin hurriedly said, "Miss Nine, but what else do you want to explain?"
Qin Wan thought for a while, "May the magistrate please take a step to speak."
A flash of light flashed in Huo Huaixin's eyes, and he hurriedly took two steps aside, Qin Wan followed up and said in a low voice, "I just found out that Qin Wan didn't write it down on the inspection form, because it was something special, and Qin Wan wasn't sure if It's related to the case, so I'd better tell my lord privately, your lord is the most clear about the whole case, please judge for yourself."
Huo Huaixin was surprised, "What did Miss Nine find?"
Qin Wan leaned over and quickly said about the tooth marks. Sure enough, Huo Huaixin's eyes widened.
After a slight pause, Qin Wan said again, "There is one more thing. My lord must still remember that someone pretended to be a ghost in the Hou's mansion that night to scare the people in the Hou's mansion."
Huo Huaixin raised his eyebrows, and Qin Wan said, "Actually, it was Qin Wan who was scared that day."
Huo Huaixin was surprised by several unexpected news, but Qin Wan continued, "That night, I found a stain on the cuff of the wedding dress. But Qin Wan later found out that Miss Song's wedding dress was made of silk red gauze from the capital. This kind of silk is very precious, and has a characteristic, that is, it cannot be seen when it is stained with ordinary stains, only ink stains Once you get it on, you can’t get it off.”
The corners of Huo Huaixin's eyes trembled, and Qin Wan said again, "So, the marks on the wedding dress should be ink marks."
A scene suddenly flashed in Huo Huaixin's mind, and his expression suddenly changed a little. Seeing this, Qin Wan didn't ask any more questions, but said, "Qin Wan only tells the adults what he found, and I'll rely on the adults to investigate the truth. "
After Qin Wan finished speaking, he blessed the body, and then turned and walked towards the carriage when he came.
Yan Chi strode down from the steps. Seeing Qin Wan like this, he knew what she was going to do. Apart from Huo Huaixin, only he knew about the tooth marks. It was clearly a trivial matter, but it made Yan Chi feel a little happy .
This scene was not only seen by Yan Chi, but also by Huo Ning. He was still in a daze and stood at the gate of Yizhuang in a daze. When Qin Wan left, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Father, what did she say?" ?”
Huo Huaixin obviously heard Huo Ning's words, but he pretended not to hear them. He just smiled and waved to the carriage that had started to move, "Master Hou, I'll let you know when I have news. Thank you, Miss Nine—"
Seeing the carriage go more than ten feet away, the smile on Huo Huaixin's face disappeared all of a sudden.
He turned his face and stared at Huo Ning coldly, "You bastard, what's the matter with you today? Why are you so rude when you see Miss Nine? Or in front of Lord Hou and His Highness Chi, are you really..."
"Father, I just want to know what she told you just now?"
Huo Huaixin gasped for a while, "From now on, you are not allowed to intervene in this case. You don't think it's embarrassing and I'm ashamed. I originally heard the rumors that Nine Girls are in love with you, but today I am I understand, with your appearance, you can't compare to the second son of the Hou Mansion, let alone His Highness Chi! In vain, I want your mother to go to the Qin Mansion... "
Huo Ning was already filled with humiliation, but he never expected to be scolded by his father again. After listening to it again, it's no wonder that he always asked about the Qin family, but it turned out that he had this intention!
Huo Ning blushed and shouted, "What does father want to do? Could it be that he still wants to marry the Qin family?!"
Seeing that his son was about to go crazy, Huo Huaixin couldn't help being even more angry, feeling that he couldn't listen to his words at all, "What's the matter? So what if you just want to get married?! Miss Nine's appearance and temperament are more than enough for you! This piece We all refer to Nine Girls for help in the case, let's look at you! In front of Nine Girls, you still don't know how to restrain yourself!"
Huo Ning originally planned to do something for Qin Wan to see, but now that he knew that Qin Wan was the expert, he realized that even if he solved the case, Qin Wan might not think highly of him, and Huo Huaixin was sharp His words were even more blatantly trampled on his dignity, Huoning became impatient, and went back without hesitation—
"Who wants to marry her! A woman actually knows how to dissect an autopsy. I don't know where she learned it from, but she has the demeanor of a lady?! Let alone asking for marriage, she is kneeling in front of me Begging me to marry her, I don't even want to look at her, don't let me interfere? Well, I'm still happy!"
Huo Ning left after roaring, Feiquan and Nanfeng, who dared not let out their breath, quickly chased after him, Huo Huaixin stood in place, looking at Huo Ning's back, he felt his eyes darken with anger, "This, this evil!"
…
…
Fu Ling touched Qin Wan's hands with ointment, then looked at her in surprise and said, "Miss is not afraid at all, this servant feels disgusted just by looking at it, and thinking of the scene in the mourning hall makes my hair stand on end, why is it that miss …”
"Fu Ling, do you know what life and death are?"
Fu Ling looked at Qin Wan with black and white eyes, and Qin Wan said slowly, "There is no major event in the world, only life and death. People who have experienced life and death, let alone gods and ghosts, there is a person standing with a knife. In front of me, I may also be calmer than others."
Fu Ling was a little unconvinced, "But the servant girl also..."
Before she finished speaking, Fu Ling's face turned red, but Qin Wan was amused by her upright look, and she bent her lips, "So, think about it, if you have the courage to go to death that day, you still have the courage to die now. What is there to be afraid of?"
Fu Ling tilted her head, really thinking about what Qin Wan said, and sighed after a while, "Miss is just a miss. Miss used to be restrained, but now it is very different. A servant is indeed a servant, and there is no such thing as a lady." suddenly enlightened.”
Qin Wan shook his head and laughed, but Fu Ling snorted softly and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Huo to be here today. How Mr. Huo looked down on Miss in the past, how uncomfortable he must be today. This servant really sees it. Today Mr. Huo looks like He was stunned! He didn't expect that our lady had hidden skills in the past, let alone that she was so talented that now even her father asked her to help her."
Thinking of Huo Ning, Qin Wan's heart was not disturbed. Looking at Huo Ning's expression today, he must have suffered a lot in his heart. In this case, his previous affairs with Miss Jiu will be canceled for the time being.
The carriage moved slowly, Qin Wan went out early in the morning, and by the time the carriage stopped in front of the Hou Mansion, it was already noon.
As soon as the carriage came to a complete stop, Yue Qing's voice sounded, "Quickly go and tell the old lady and madam that Miss Nine is here."
Yue Qing was obviously in a good mood, even Yue Qiong was smiling when he got off the carriage, Yan Chi got off the horse and raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw Qin Wan coming out of the carriage.
A group of people entered the mansion one after another and went straight to Princess Taichang's small courtyard.
Yue Qiong walked in the front, and Yue Qing followed Qin Wan closely, saying, "Grandmother woke up yesterday, but she was still very weak at that time, and when she woke up this morning before dawn, she was able to talk." Yes, the medicine left by Miss Jiu is really powerful."
The corners of Qin Wan's lips curved slightly, "Although Princess Taichang said that this time was very dangerous, it was because of her strong willpower that she made it through. Otherwise, medicine alone would not be enough."
Yue Qing nodded and smiled again, "Ninth Miss, don't be self-effacing. Your medical skills are even inferior to Dr. Huang's. Not only are you excellent in medical skills, but also... Ninth Miss is really impressive."
Fu Ling followed behind Qin Wan, covered her mouth and smiled, the enthusiasm of the second son of the Hou Mansion for his young lady is really obvious!
"Qing'er, we're almost here, so don't talk too much."
Yue Qiong probably also saw Yue Qing's extraordinarily warm-heartedness, so she rushed forward and shouted.
Yue Qing responded with a smile, and walked quickly to the gate of the courtyard, "Mother, Miss Nine is here—"
As soon as the words finished, a figure flashed out of the courtyard door, and Jiang came out with a smile on his face, "Guan'er is here!"
Jiang Shi was still the same as before, she stepped forward and took Qin Wan's hand, and before Qin Wan could salute, she led her into the courtyard, "Mother has been talking about you for a long time." He looked Qin Wan up and down as he spoke. Wan, "Are you tired again today?"
Knowing about Qin Wan's autopsy, Jiang asked with concern.
Qin Wan quickly shook her head, "No, no, thank you Madam for your concern, everything is very easy."
Jiang patted her hand with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Mom woke up before dawn today, and she is in good spirits. Knowing that Qing'er's matter has been resolved, if she insisted on asking, I couldn't hold back, so I just said Now, don't worry, my mother is also an enlightened person, if she asks you later, you can just say it."
From the moment Qin Wan planned to help Yue Qing, she never wanted to hide from Princess Taichang, and she is not surprised now.
Qin Wan followed Jiang's entry and went straight to the inner room. As soon as he reached the door, he saw the Taichang Princess who was already sitting up. Qin Wan hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Meet Your Highness Taichang Princess—"
"Get up and come to me quickly."
The Taichang Princess is still sick, but it is very different from that day when Qin Wan first came. Qin Wan stepped forward, and the Taichang Princess pulled Qin Wan and sat beside him. He held Qin Wan, but didn't speak immediately. He swept Qin Wan up and down for a few moments before nodding, "That's right, that's right, he is indeed someone I value!"
After a slight pause, Princess Taichang whispered again, "How is today?"
Seeing Princess Taichang's wrinkled face full of caution, Qin Wan couldn't help but smiled slightly, and said in a low voice, "I have a small harvest today, so I should be able to help the magistrate a little. When there is news, the magistrate will come back." Inform His Royal Highness the Taichang Princess."
The way the old and the young spoke in a low voice made Jiang and the green sleeves beside him laugh out loud, Jiang stepped forward and said, "Mother shouldn't bother with these things right now, Guan'er, let her do it for you first." Just take your pulse."
Qin Wan also smiled and said, "Princess Taichang's body is the most important thing, let Qin Wan ask for your pulse."
Princess Taichang sat up straight, with a kind expression on her face, "It's all right, I feel that after taking Guan'er's medicine, it's much better, but the wound hurts a bit..."
Jiang said angrily, "Mother knows it hurts, so she should lie down all the time."
Princess Taichang exhaled, "It's uncomfortable to lie down all the time. I thought I'd have to lie down like this all day long, but who knows, Guan'er saved my life for me..."
Princess Taichang sighed, looking at Qin Wan with loving eyes.
With a smile on her face, Qin Wan focused on asking Princess Taichang for her pulse. After a while, she stopped and said, "Princess Taichang, please lie down and let Qin Wan see your wound."
"Well, well..."
Seeing Princess Taichang lying down while responding, Jiang's anger became even worse, "Look, mother doesn't listen to what we say, but mother obediently obeys Guaner's words..."
Because Yue Qiong and others did not enter the inner room because they wanted to see a doctor first, Qin Wan unbuttoned Princess Taichang's skirt and checked it before he was completely relieved, "The wound has healed and the pulse has stabilized, Qin Wan Give Princess Taichang another prescription and use it continuously for seven days, and then replace it with a new prescription when the wound has shed the scab for the first time."
Speaking of which, Qin Wan laughed again, "Princess Taichang really shouldn't sit for a long time now, Madam's worry is extremely important."
Princess Taichang glanced at Jiang, "Look, this is talking for you, so I'll just lie down."
The room was harmonious and harmonious, after covering the Taichang Princess with a quilt, Yue Qiong and the others came in from the outside, seeing Yue Qiong coming in, the Taichang Princess said again, "I have to send Guan'er as it is later." Go back, if there is such a thing in the future, remember not to let it out, if it ruins Guan'er's reputation, I will have to ask you!"
Yue Qiong was already extremely careful, listening to Princess Taichang's instruction, she hurriedly said, "Mother, don't worry, His Highness Chi personally picked her up when she came, and she will naturally send it back when she goes back."
"Oh?" Princess Taichang glanced at Yan Chi who was standing behind, "Xiaoqi, are you going to pick him up?"
Yan Chi stepped forward and said with a hearty smile, "That's right, it's not convenient for Lord Hou and the magistrate to show up. I'm from the capital, and the Qin family who said I'm going to pick you up under your order dare not question it at all."
Thinking about it this way, Princess Taichang couldn't help feeling that Yan Chi was considerate. If Yue Qing or Yue Jia were in Jinzhou, there would inevitably be some gossip.
Princess Taichang gathered herself together, "Okay, then you can continue to send Guan'er back later!"
The Princess Taichang understood Qin Wan's situation in the Qin Mansion the most, and she thought of ways to make her gain a firm foothold in the Qin Mansion, so she wanted to use Yan Chi's identity, but she didn't know that Yan Chi had figured out her identity. Thoughts, happy to be used by her.
"Okay, don't worry, auntie, I will definitely send Miss Jiu back."
Princess Taichang exhaled, took Qin Wan's hand and said, "I heard that the eldest lady in Qin's mansion is not feeling well?"
A haze flashed across Qin Wan's eyes, "Yes, my sister-in-law went home to visit her relatives a few days ago. On the way back, she was probably overworked and a little red, and she is recuperating right now."
Princess Taichang frowned and said, "A woman's childbirth is like stepping into the gate of hell, but be careful, your sister-in-law is pregnant with the eldest grandson, but your elder brother is said to be a good one, and he is quite famous in Jinzhou." Xian Ming, if you put in some effort from the capital in the future, coupled with the prefect of Jianzhou, you will definitely have a good future."
Yao Xinlan is the second daughter of the prefect of Jianzhou, but Qin Wan doesn't know what the prefect of Jianzhou can do for Qin Chen.
As if seeing Qin Wan's confusion, Princess Taichang continued, "The magistrate of Jianzhou is about to be promoted, and when he returns to the capital, he must be a third rank, and he is old all over the Zhou Dynasty, so he can speak very well." Let’s talk about it, wait until the next year, when the situation in central Beijing stabilizes, then let your eldest brother go to the capital, and if necessary, I will write a letter and send it to the capital.”
Even though she has been away from the capital for many years, Princess Taichang is still Princess Taichang. By putting her words here, she has made a promise to help Qin Chen. Qin Wan hurriedly thanked Qin Chen.
After saying a few more words, Qin Wan personally fed the medicine to Princess Taichang. After drinking the medicine, Princess Taichang became drowsy. Qin Wan rewrote the prescription and re-bandaged the wound for Princess Taichang together with Lu Xiu. , and then backed out.
Walking out of the inner room, Qin Wan saw two new lanterns added to the courtyard outside. The covers of the lanterns were not with ordinary patterns, but with excellent characters. Qin Wan looked again and found that they were Buddhist scriptures!
Seeing her looking at the lantern, Mrs. Jiang said, "It's going to be the Autumn Eve Festival. Every year on the Autumn Eve Festival, there is a lantern festival in Jinzhou City. In previous years, the Hou Mansion would donate a lot of lantern boats. This year... alas, mother's body is not healthy after repeated accidents." Well, it’s not easy for the Hou Mansion to be as extravagant as in previous years, but my mother said that donating lantern boats is also for the benefit of the common people. This year, if I don’t do those fancy things, I just donate two lantern boats for blessing. No, these are lanterns that have been ordered outside. , Mother liked it very much, and kept two."
Not to mention Princess Taichang likes it, even Qin Wan loves it when she looks at it.
Jiang shi pulled Qin Wan forward, Yue Qiong and Yan Chi went to the study for some reason, but Yue Qing was unwilling to leave.
Yan Chi glanced at Yue Qing, and left without looking at Qin Wan.
Over here, Xiang Yueqing heard what Jiang said, "Even if it's not a big deal this year, it's always okay to go out and see the lantern festival then?"
Jiang turned her head and glared at her, "That's natural. When the time comes, I'm going to release lives and pray for blessings and distribute food and rice to the refugees in the south. Naturally, I won't hold you back. When the time comes, I'll call your brother. Hey, he The days are also gloomy."
Yue Qing hurriedly agreed, turned his eyes and said, "Ninth Miss, do you want to come with me?"
Jiang's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this, "Yeah, Guan'er will come with you when the time comes? Although this year is not as extravagant as in previous years, there are two light boats in the Hou's Mansion, so it is very convenient for you to see the lantern tour on the lake. "
In Dazhou, August 15th is the Qiuxi Festival. Usually, the festival starts two days in advance. Whether it is the capital or Jinzhou, it is mainly based on lantern festivals and gardens. There is a Lishui Lake in the south of Jinzhou City. Every year Jinzhou The city’s Qiuxi Festival Lantern Festival is held by the Lishui Lake. At that time, the entire Lishui Lake stayed up all night. There were lantern houses and boats donated by rich and noble families, and there were also lively garden markets. Not only that, the Qiuxi Festival is also a good time for lovers to express their hearts to each other, but for Qin Wan who has not left the cabinet, this lantern festival is just for playing and enjoying the lanterns.
However, the former Miss Nine came to Jinzhou for four years, but she never went to the Lantern Festival during the Qiuxi Festival.
"It's just that I don't know if I will be allowed to go out at that time."
Although Qin Wan can go in and out on her own now, she is still not sure whether Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Lin will let her go to this kind of garden party.
Jiang shi laughed when she heard that, "When the time comes, ask Ning'er to pick you up, why not?"
Qin Wan bent her lips, "Okay, then I will trouble the little Princess."
Jiang shi laughed, "There are a lot of things going on at home these days, except for Qing'er who didn't think about it so much, Jia'er and Ning'er are a little worried, and you will come too when the time comes, it will be more lively when there are more juniors, these things are after all adults' business, You are still children, so there is no need to think about it, when the time comes, I will ask them to prepare more sky lanterns for blessing, so you can enjoy it."
Although Jiang said he was happy, his tone was still a little helpless. If Song Rou's incident hadn't happened, the Hou Mansion had just had a happy event, and it would have added another junior. The harmony and beauty of the family is the real joy, but now, the wedding of the Hou Mansion has been disturbed, Song Rou will not say anything about her death, and Yue Jia may also have a shadow in her heart, Jiang's mother is naturally worried.
"By the way, Qing'er, remember to ask the nephew of the Song family to join us." Jiang Shi said with a sigh, "They are all hard-fated people, and it is not easy for him. When the time comes, let's relax together with you."
Yue Qing naturally responded, "Mother will call her son if she doesn't say it."
Walking east along the corridor in the mansion, it didn't take long to arrive at a side hall. Yue Ning was waiting in front of the hall door.
"Mother, lunch is ready—"
Jiang looked back, looked at Yue Qing and said with a smile, "Today's lunch has been divided into two places, yours has already been sent to the outer study, go find your father."
Yue Qing glanced at Qin Wan, and turned around step by step.
Jiang shi took another look at Yue Qing, and took Qin Wan's hand into the room.
Yue Ning obviously also knew what Qin Wan was doing this morning, and asked as soon as she entered the door, "Did you have any new clues this morning?"
Qin Wan nodded, "Miss Song didn't die in the sedan chair. The magistrate may be able to find the place where Miss Song was killed, and it is also very possible to find Miss Song's head. If there are other clues, it will be easy to find the murderer." Much easier."
Yue Ning nodded, and said rather displeasedly, "I wanted to go together, but my mother and father refused."
Jiang shi glared at her, "You still go, it's the same as last time."
When the embarrassing incident was brought up last time, Yue Ning was a little embarrassed, but she raised her chin, "It's just the first time, I haven't seen it before, I'll be fine if I see it once." Then she turned to look at Qin Wan, "Why don't you have any abnormality at all? Have you done autopsies on many corpses before?"
Jiang frowned, "It's time to eat, what are you talking about?"
Yue Ning ignored Jiang Shi and still looked at Qin Wan. This was a huge question in her mind, and she naturally had to solve it.
In fact, not to mention Yue Ning, even the Jiang family were a little curious.
Seeing her mother and daughter looking at him, Qin Wan bent his lips and said, "I don't have it, maybe it's... a talent."
"Extraordinary talent?" Yue Ning raised her eyebrows, "What do you say?"
Qin Wan said with a slight smile, "Innate talent is... It's also the first time to practice martial arts, but the princess is much better at practicing than me and learns much faster. This is extraordinary talent."
Similarly, although she is not good at martial arts, she is more talented in studying medicine and autopsy.
Yue Ning understood, and raised the corners of her lips, "Let's eat, although I'm not good at medical skills and autopsy, but I find it quite interesting to see you looking for clues to deduce the case, after dinner, you can talk to me? "
Qin Wan is as good as others, "Of course."
Jiang shi shook her head helplessly when she heard the words, "You two...that's all, you are not like ordinary ladies..."
Qin Wan and Yue Ning looked at each other and smiled. One of them likes to practice martial arts, and the other is good at autopsy. They are indeed quite different from other ladies...
…
…
"Who is so ruthless to kill people in such a way?"
After the meal, Yue Ning came over and asked Qin Wan to talk about Song Rou's case, Qin Wan nodded, "Yes, the murderer's methods are too brutal, most likely because he hates Song Rou."
"But it shouldn't be. Ms. Song's family is of noble birth, and no one she knows is so vicious. Besides, she is raised in a deep boudoir, so who can she have hatred for?"
Qin Wan suddenly thought of the ambiguous tooth mark on Song Rou's shoulder.
She lowered her eyes and shook her head, "It's hard to say, even if you are raised in a deep boudoir, it's hard to guarantee that you won't make others feel resentful because of some trivial things. Sometimes you don't realize it, but others may have hated you to the bone. Not everyone in this world People are as normal-minded as we are, and not everyone is non-discriminatory."
After a short pause, Qin Wan said again, "Or, Miss Song's head was chopped off because the murderer wanted to cover up something."
Yue Ning raised her eyebrows slightly, "What are you trying to hide?"
Qin Wan nodded, turned her eyes and said, "Maybe there is some key clue in Song Rou's head, so the murderer chopped off her head to create an illusion."
Having said that, Qin Wan's heart jumped suddenly. Since Song Rou was killed outside, how was she sent to the wedding sedan chair? Has no one asked her to see her all day long
Without a head, it can be seen at a glance. What kind of blindfold did the murderer use
Qin Wan was full of doubts in his mind, but he didn't speak out after thinking about it.
Now it's no different than before, she does what she should do, and the rest will wait for prefect Huo's investigation.
Suddenly, Yue Ning looked at Qin Wan with deep eyes, "You are one year younger than me, why do you speak with a vicissitudes of life?" After a pause, Yue Ning said bluntly, "Qin Mansion Someone else bullied you?"
Qin Wan laughed out loud, shook his head and said, "No, they all know that I came to the Hou's mansion for treatment, but they dare not do it just because of the face of the Hou's mansion."
Yue Ning nodded, "That's about the same." She said helplessly, "Since you have such medical skills, why didn't you show them up earlier, if that's the case, you should suffer less bullying, what did you think before?"
Qin Wan narrowed her eyes and said helplessly, "When I was young, I always wanted to retreat again and again. After all, I was dependent on others."
Yue Ning turned her eyes, "Then what happened when you fell into the lake last time?"
Qin Wan smiled wryly, "Could it be that the princess has also heard the rumors outside?"
Yue Ning felt uncomfortable, coughed lightly, "I didn't mean to inquire about the discussion, it's just that the Qin family thought it was a good cover-up, but Jinzhou is so big, who doesn't know about it, just tell me , did you jump into the lake because of the magistrate?"
