Chapter 873

"A little effort."

The woman expressed her gratitude and hurriedly said, "young master, why don't you go to the humble house and have a drink?"

Ji Yunshu: "thank you for your kindness. I don't have to. I have something to do later. I won't bother you."

"In that case, I won't give it away."

She smiled and nodded, smiled at the little girl and turned away.

Unexpectedly——

The little girl suddenly took her hand, raised her head and said enthusiastically, "brother, you'd better not go. Let's watch the sand rain together."

"Sand rain?"

"Yes, it's a beautiful sand rain." Her hand made an arc in the air.

The woman hurriedly said, "young master, don't listen to the child's nonsense."

Xin'er: "Mom, I didn't talk nonsense. It's true. I really saw Sha Ziyu when I came out to the thatched cottage that night, and the good brother next door also said he saw it. Xin'er didn't lie. If you don't believe it, ask good brother."

"You child, why does sand fall on this day? You are wrong."

"No mistake, it's true." Xin'er pointed to the direction of the Confucius Mansion Inn and muttered, "I really see that the sand rain flew from there and floated in the sky. It's very beautiful."

Uh?

Ji Yunshu looked in the direction of Xin'er's fingers, and his sight just fell on the window of the room where Jiao Shiniang was killed.

At that time, she also saw sand on the windowsill. Is it related to the "sand rain" in her heart?

Woman: "young master, don't listen to the children. The children always think about some messy things. It will only rain and snow, and it's impossible to sand."

"Yes!" Ji Yunshu smiled, then looked down at his heart and asked, "did you really see the sand rain?"

"Yes."

"When?"

"In the middle of the night." The child can't tell the exact time.

Ji Yunshu asked again, "do you remember that the moon was on that side?"

"Overhead."

That's about the same time.

"Is it from that direction?" Ji Yunshu pointed to the longfu inn.

"Yes." The heart must nod.

Ji Yunshu thought, sand? The sand on the windowsill? The sand on Jiao Shiniang?

What the hell does that sand mean?

Her sudden actions and problems made the woman alert, thinking that this man was gentle and could not be a bad man? He subconsciously pulled his daughter behind him and said in a bad tone,

"Childe, if you don't want to go to your humble house, you won't give it away."

order for guests to leave!

Then he dragged the little guy into the house.

The door closed with a bang.

Ji Yunshu didn't care too much and kept staring at the window.

A question suddenly came out of my mind. Did the murderer really take Jiao Shiniang out of the Inn and kill him?

But if not, why is there no blood in the house?

The murderer... How did he do it?

The groom saw that she was out of mind and shouted, "Lord Ji?"

She recovered and her thoughts were interrupted!

"Lord Ji, do you want to go?"

"Let's go."

She got into the carriage and thought about her guess all the way.

That night, she sat in the yard, holding the cow ghost mask taken from Jiao Shiniang's face.

The oil paint on the mask reflected the red candle light, and now it looked more terrible!

It's like a lifelike, bloody ox head staring at itself with big eyes.

She was not afraid at all, but enjoyed it more and more!

Although it was hot in summer, it was windy at night. In ancient times, there was not much pollution. Reheating could not fry raw eggs.

Several trees were planted in the yard to enjoy the cool. The leaves swayed gently in the wind, rustling and blowing in the air.

The little girl leaned on the pillar. Ji Yunshu stood there as long as she stared at the mask.

Yawning.

Eyelid fight!

His head leaned against the post and narrowed.

"Bamboo basket." Ji Yunshu suddenly called.

As soon as the little girl heard this, she was in high spirits. She trotted up to her and asked, "Miss Ji, what's the matter? Do you need anything?"

She shook her head: "it's late. Go and have a rest."

"But..."

"Don't worry about me. Just go and have a rest first. I'll sit down and go back to the house by myself."

The bamboo basket yawned again, covered its mouth and looked tired: "Miss Ji, I'll go back to the house first. If you have any orders, just call me directly."

"Yes."

After the girl went back to bed, Ji Yunshu sat down again in the yard.

It was midnight before you knew it.

She looked up at the sky. The white moonlight just fell on her head. It was very round.

"Sand rain at midnight?" She whispered.

In this case, there are too many things you don't understand.

When she thought further, naoren hurt badly. She supported her head and rubbed her temples. She was barely better before she supported herself back to the house.

The next day, she got up early and fell into infinite distressed thinking.

At this time, the sun has risen three poles.

Very hot!

The bamboo basket came in with a small Pu fan and a bowl of cold cakes in his hand.

"Girl, eat a bowl of cold cake on such a hot day."

The cold cake was filled with cold air and turned into a white fog.

She scooped a spoon into her mouth, and the cool feeling rushed away the heat from her.

"Did you go out to buy it early in the morning?"

"No, I bought it back yesterday."

"Yesterday? Why? Was there an ice cellar in your house?"

The bamboo basket said, "there is no ice cellar in the house. We refrigerate it ourselves."

Huh?

Ji Yunshu was curious: "how to refrigerate without ice?"

"Use sand."

"Sand?" "Just take two wooden buckets of different sizes, fill the sand at the bottom of the bucket, re-enter the bucket, fill the fine gap between the two buckets with sand, mix some water, and then directly put the cold cake into the bucket. Cover it with a piece of cloth, just like putting it in the ice cellar

Well, sir, I don't know and I'm not surprised. Our servants do all these things. "

Bamboo basket crackling explanation!

Ji Yunshu was stunned.

"Bang, Dong!"

The spoon fell loose and fell into the bowl.

"I see!"

She suddenly got up!

The bamboo basket was stunned. "Miss Ji? What's the matter? Am I wrong?"

"You're not wrong." She grabbed the hand of the bamboo basket and said happily, "you helped me solve something I can't understand."

"Ah? What's up?"

"When I come back, I'll treat you to cold cakes."

"Ah?"

The bamboo basket was stunned.

Ji Yunshu stepped out and bumped into Jingrong.

He asked, "where are you going in such a hurry?"

"The Ministry of justice autopsy."

……

A quarter of an hour later, Ji Yunshu and Jingrong went to the Ministry of punishment and went straight to the coroner's room.

Before going in——

Ji Yunshu didn't know where to take out a piece of ginger stained with sesame oil. "Open your mouth."
