Chapter 103

The quiet atmosphere in the room is a little frightening. The least conscious are Xiao Song and ran Yan. One is still idle and powerful, the other is hidden behind the power fence, drooping his eyes and calmly staring at his toes. However, the others are already sweating.

Outside came the sound of footsteps and Liu pinrang's inquiry. Then Liu pinrang, dressed in Fei robes, hurriedly walked in. He saw Xiao Song's hand and said, "according to the inspector, I found a pair of cloth shoes in the house of abbess Jingyuan. The pattern of the sole of the shoes is very similar to the shape of the chest of the first dead person, and the cloth shoes are stained with the soil of the back mountain, which has been dried and peeled off Maybe it was a month ago. "

Jingyuan is not in charge of Yingmei nunnery. Ran Yan has only seen her once. She is a nun in her forties. Her appearance is not good-looking, but it gives people a sense of peace and tranquility. Besides, she can't remember her specific appearance.

"Liu is the master." Xiao Song replied.

"The lower officials intend to interrogate in the nunnery. If they can't get rid of their connections, they will bring them back to Yamen." Liu pin let do not know what to worry about, but did not immediately take people away.

Xiao Song nodded and said, "let's go."

Liu pin made his face calm. In fact, he was already in a state of anxiety. The impact of this incident was very bad. The emperor sent an inspector to him, apparently to give him a chance. If the case is solved well, it will be vague in the past. If the case can not be solved, it will be even worse.

Xiao song came to the door and suddenly stopped. He looked at ran Yan and said, "Seventeen niangs might as well come and listen."

His words were just in line with Liu pin's wishes. Because Xiao Song was present, he could not say clearly that he would let a little girl follow him. Since Xiao song first proposed it, he had nothing to worry about. He immediately said, "Madam Ran has a lot of opinions on prison. Please don't refuse."

What can ran Yan say? Had to politely a word or two, followed them to the front hall.

When Xiao Song and his party arrived at the front hall, there were already twenty or thirty yamen servants and six nuns waiting in the hall. Ran Yan looked at the costumes of the nuns. Among them, three were Haiqing robes with wide waist and wide sleeves and round collar and square placket. They cleaned up their appearance and solemnly talked about the wind. They were Jingyuan, Jinghui and Jingxue. They were followed by a little nun. What stood behind Jinghui was the illusion.

The three women nuns with higher status were the youngest. They were about twenty-four or five years old. They had round faces and big eyes. Their lips were plump, and their eyebrows and corners were always smiling. They looked very kind. Jinghui was thin and long, about thirty years old, with a thin melon seed face and very light eyebrows.

Most of Ran Yan's attention is focused on Jingyuan. This 40 year old nun is of medium stature. At first glance, there is nothing special about her. Her facial features are correct, but she is not excellent. However, she stands there and is as quiet as air. If today's interrogation is not targeted at her, most people would not have noticed this person.

Several nuns bowed down to Xiao Song and Liu pin.

Liu pinrang took a look at Xiao Song. Seeing that he didn't mean to ask questions, he asked several nuns to take their seats. Then he began his official and passionate opening remarks, "these nuns are all from outside. According to the truth, I shouldn't disturb you. But this serial homicide is really inhuman and disgusting! People in Suzhou are in a state of panic. If I don't catch the murderer, I betray the emperor's trust. I'm sorry for the trust of the people... "

Xiao Song took a cup of tea and sipped it a little. As if he was very patient, he put the cup on a few times and folded his lapel to wait for him to continue.

Liu pin let Yu Guang sweep and cough twice. Then he turned and said, "today, I searched your nunnery and found this pair of shoes in nun Jingyuan's room. Coincidentally, the shoes were stained with soil from the back of the mountain, and the patterns on the soles of the shoes were very similar to the marks on the chest of a dead man. I have to ask you clearly, abbess Jingyuan, you went from the end of Xu Shi (21:00 a.m.) to ugly hour (1:00 a.m.) on July 11 Where did you go? "

This is the time of death given by ran Yan when examining the first corpse. If the corpse is dissected in time, this period can be shortened to within an hour. If the time of death is not long, the error can be reduced to less than a moment. Unfortunately, after a month, the autopsy can not be so accurate.

"It's a rest." Jingyuan answered almost without thinking.

"Why do you remember so sure?" Liu pinrang asked.

Jingyuan is still a light expression, closed his eyes, never looked directly at anyone, "I take a break every day, Yin when the end of the collapse, never wrong."

This time is indeed a normal rest time, and because of this, the possibility of a witness is very small.

Ran Yan felt a little strange about the shoes. After a murderer had killed someone, he must have eliminated the traces. How could he be so careless as to leave the mud a month ago on the shoes? Even if the last homicide is rainy, it is more than six days from now. If you keep your shoes, why do you still keep mud?

"Did nun Jingyuan kill anyone?" Xiao Song, who has been silent all the time, suddenly makes a speech, changing the way of asking questions in a circle, which is very sharp.

Jingyuan is still drooping his eyes, not a bit flustered, "poor nun is a person of Qingxiu, how can kill people.""Oh, please tell me, is this pair of shoes owned by the Abbess? When and where is the mud on the shoes contaminated Xiao Song asked.

"My shoes are mine, but I don't know when they got muddy." Jingyuan road.

"Abbess Guan is a person who likes cleaning. How often does she clean her clothes, shoes and socks? Judging from the degree of dryness of the soil, it has been at least five or six days. I don't know why it has been placed in your room all the time? "

"A few days ago, I was not feeling well, so the clothes were cleaned by my apprentice. I don't know why the shoes fell down."

"Since when did the apprentice do the washing?"

"Half a month ago."

"Date?"

"July 17."

……

Xiao Song's questions were thrown out like a flying knife, as if he had not thought about it at all, so that the people who were asked and those who were listening were sweating.

Even if these questions can be answered by Jingyuan, she still can't get rid of her suspicion, because no one can prove that she has been sleeping in her room and never went out.

In the same way, a sole stained with mud can not prove that Jingyuan is the murderer. Therefore, the final result can only be temporarily detained.

When all the people in the hall withdrew, Xiao song suddenly turned his head and asked ran Yan, "I don't know how the seventeen niangs treat this interrogation?"

"I only do autopsy. I don't know anything else." Ran Yan's strong point is that according to the wound on the corpse, he can infer the time of death, the position of the dead, where he has been, and so on. According to the clues, she is a forensic doctor, not Sherlock Holmes. She has no corpse. What does she play with? What can she think of by a few interrogations?

Xiao Song listened to her voice as if she was a little angry. With a slight smile, he leaned forward and leaned close to her ear and said, "that I'll see you next night. "

His voice was charming. In addition, he did it on purpose and became more and more agitated. Ran Yan knew that he was trying to find her to help with the autopsy. He just deliberately teased her, so he coldly threw him a knife eye across the soap gauze, "Inspector Xiao, you are wearing official clothes. Please respect yourself."

Ran Yan's original intention is: you are a court official, how can you do the dirty thing of molesting the little lady!

But when he got to Xiao Song, he changed his taste. He said with a smile, "don't worry, I won't wear official clothes next night."

This man looks calm and dignified, but he always acts casually. He is a second generation ancestor. Ran Yan grits his teeth and says with hatred, "his parents who are very well-dressed are like Xiaolang Junsheng. He can't do things without this appearance. Otherwise, he is unfilial."

After that, he got up and went to the door.

Xiao Song's smile is more prosperous. Looking at ran Yan's graceful figure in the power fence, he even has a smile in his bright eyes. He reaches for the tea cup and puts it to his lips, but his hand stops. He skims the water with the cup cover and puts it back on a few times. The smile is a little more profound.

Liu pinrang has been paying close attention to Xiao Song's movements. Although he has not heard the content of the conversation, ran Yan seems quite annoyed. He thinks that it is nothing more than a love affair between children and girls. He feels a little moved in his heart and sighs, "ran shiqiniang is really a woman who can't be compared with other people in autopsy. It's a pity Well, I'm afraid that if I get married some time later, I'm afraid I can't easily ask for help. "

Xiao Song stood up and straightened his lapel. Looking at Liu pinrang, he said faintly, "if I can help you this crucial time, Liu should be happy. Liu has always been conscientious and has a clear mind. The emperor will suppress those impeachments and send me to help handle the case. It means that I don't need to say much if I want to come."

From Xiao Song's performance, you can't see how much he attaches importance to ran Yan. Liu pin makes his heart puzzled, but on the surface, he looks grateful and tearful. "I will go all out and live up to the emperor's trust. I'm really ashamed of the fact that the inspector came from a long way and threw himself into the case without taking a rest! "

In the officialdom, nothing can be said fully. Only loyalty to the emperor should not only be full, but also be filled to the sky, leaving life and death out of the question. No matter what you think in your heart, what you will do, at least in your mouth.

The two men played official roles with each other, let each other out of yingmei'an, and got on the carriage.

Xiao Song once sat in the car, then collected to the genial smile, voice way, "Bai Yi."

At this time, his whole body is a kind of forcing momentum, giving people a sense of suffocation.

Bai Yi, an iron man, sat at the door of the car and said respectfully, "Lang Jun."

"If you want to stop the person sent by the old lady to propose marriage to Ran's house, do you stop it?" Xiao Song's sword eyebrows unconsciously close up. It is said that the old lady and Shu Niang are together to propose marriage to Suzhou ran mansion. He has no feeling of rejection in his heart. However, he has not found out the reason for his so-called "wife killing". How can he marry another one home and die. After all, ran Yan is different from Du and Lu (to be continued.
