"Eh, wrong! Don't think too much!" Pei Hantang said hurriedly, "My friend's wife, don't be fooled, I still understand this truth, look at your eyes, tsk tsk blame, take it away, I've got chills down my spine. , horrified."
Gu Heyan: …
Pei Hantang picked up the white-faced steamed bun on the white porcelain plate on the table, took a bite, chewed it, and said, "Yesterday, a female corpse was found on the outskirts of the city."
Gu Heyan frowned: "Female corpse?"
"Yes." Pei Hantang continued, "And the death form is exactly the same as what your young master said, which is really strange. I have lived for more than 20 years, and I have never seen such a mysterious thing."
Then, Pei Hantang told Gu Heyan about Mu Zhiming wanting to investigate the case together.
"How?" Pei Hantang said with a wicked smile, "I told you such great news, do you have to invite me for a drink?"
Gu Heyan wondered: "What?"
"Oh, brother, how can you be so ignorant?" Pei Hantang was shocked to realize that rotten wood is hard to carve. "Come and investigate the case together! If you don't, you can meet with your little boy every day. Anyway, you have already allowed outsiders to solve the case, don't you? It's only one difference from you, and if one day the two of you meet each other's eyes, and from now on, you will be inseparable, and the two places will fly together, then I will have infinite merits!"
Gu Heyan: …
Pei Hantang put the last ten of the steamed bun into his mouth: "In the afternoon, don't forget, come to Jingzhao Mansion to find me."
Gu Heyan: "Yes."
So, when Mu Zhiming and Wen Heyin stepped into the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, they saw Gu Heyan standing there straight.
"He Yan?" Mu Zhiming was surprised, "Why are you here?"
Gu Heyan hesitated: …
Pei Hantang came a few steps after hearing the sound, and took the words: "It's not because there have been many major cases recently, and the Jingzhao Mansion is not enough, so I asked Yuyi to help."
Mu Zhiming hesitated: "There aren't enough people in Jingzhao Mansion, please... the first-rank military attache of the imperial court, General Yulin... help?"
"Mr. Mu's words are too bad." Pei Hantang stretched out his hand and grabbed Gu Heyan's shoulder, "It has nothing to do with title or official status, this is called brotherly affection and righteousness!"
Mu Zhiming said worriedly: "It's good for He Yan's arm injury. He returned to Beijing to cultivate his life and self-cultivation. If you work hard."
Pei Hantang waved his hand: "Since the injury has healed, there is no need to mention it. As for recuperation, you don't understand Mr. Mu, he is not a person who can live easily, he likes to move more and stretch his muscles and bones, Yu Yi, I didn't say anything. wrong?"
Gu Heyan: "Yeah"
Mu Zhiming felt inexplicably empty in his heart, he said softly: "So, I'm more worried..."
While speaking, Zuo Zuo, dressed in burlap, walked quickly from the back of the main hall with his waist hunched over: "I have seen a few adults."
"Is there a conclusion?" Pei Hantang asked.
Zuzuo nodded quickly and said, "Several adults listen to me carefully."
"The woman was strangled to death, and her front was burnt. The murderer was supposed to prevent people from recognizing her appearance, so her face was severely burned, and other parts were only slightly burned, with obvious strangle marks on her neck. "
"The woman has calluses on her fingers and slender nails. She is not a pair of hands, so she should be a singer who is good at pipa or zither."
"There is another very important thing. Medicine was found in the whiplash on the woman's back." He hesitated for a moment, then continued. "A kind of...love potion...Yes, it should be the one with the original whip on the whip. Medicine, which penetrates into the skin when whipped."
Pei Hantang pondered: "I have heard of such bizarre hobbies, so it is possible that this woman was accidentally killed while having fun with others?"
Wen Heyin wondered: "What hobby? What fun?"
Pei Hantang said bitterly: "Little thing, this world is very complicated. If you don't understand things, don't ask questions."
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Heyan's voice suddenly sounded.
Pei Hantang and Wen Heyin looked at the sound and saw Gu Heyan frowning at Mu Zhiming.
And Mu Zhiming's eyes fell on Wen Heyin. For some reason, his face was pale, and his shoulders trembled inaudibly.
Although Mu Zhiming had already vaguely guessed what Wen Heyin might have experienced in his previous life, these words came out of Zuo Zuo's mouth, like a blunt knife piercing his internal organs. "Master." Wen Heyin hurriedly stepped forward and looked at him with a worried tone, "What's the matter with you? You've been waking up from your lunch break yesterday, something is wrong, are you not feeling well?"
Mu Zhiming restrained his emotions, smiled and stretched out his hand and pinched Wen Heyin's cheek: "It's okay to rest early tonight."
"Hey." Wen Heyin felt pain, rubbed her cheeks, and felt relieved.
Pei Hantang reiterated the case: "Since the deceased was a piano girl or a pipa girl, it seems necessary to go to Kangpingfang."
Wen Heyin asked, "Where is Kangpingfang?"
Pei Hantang smiled meaningfully: "Little thing, you will know when you go with me."
