Hexi

Chapter 103 Is she really a ghost?

"No!" Aji immediately denied, "My mother is very powerful. We have traveled so far, and she didn't let me be bullied."

Thousands of miles away, the land of orphans and widows even arrived in the capital safely, which can indeed be said to be very impressive. "Then I don't understand. Since you are a child, and your very powerful mother insisted on going to the capital to join them, you should have a deep friendship with them. Why do you still treat you like this on Wednesday?"

Aji stared at her blankly, unable to answer.

Such a question is indeed difficult for a child who is only eight years old.

Su Wei paused for a while, put the bundle beside her on the kang table and opened it, and asked her, "Have you seen these?"

Aji stretched out his hand to pull.After a while she showed surprise: "This is my father's book."

"you know?"

"I know." She nodded deeply, "My mother took it with her. When we were staying in the hotel, I saw her turn it out several times."

"Why do you carry these letters with you? Did your home in Jinling still exist when you left?"

"I don't know either." Aji looked dazed, "But when I left, my mother locked the door, so she should be there."

"Since the home is still there, wouldn't it be cumbersome to carry these letters?"

Of course Aji couldn't answer such a question, so it seemed more like Su Wei was asking herself.

Earlier, she had no doubts about Aji's entry to Beijing, but the things in this baggage became the biggest point of confusion.

Su Wei agreed with Aji that Zhou Chengli's wife, this young lady must be a resolute and wise person, so she made the determination to start from Jinling, trek thousands of miles, and take a year to reach the capital, and She also did a good job keeping her young daughter safe along the way and was not harmed herself.

Then, wouldn't she know what kind of virtue the husband and wife are on Wednesday?She travels thousands of miles and spends a lot of money. With this money, she can think of other ways to make a living in Jinling. Is the Wednesday couple worth their trip?

The answer is obviously suspicious.

What made this suspicious even more was that she finally arrived at the destination with her daughter, but then left suddenly. What happened to her?Was it because of an accident, or was she planning it?
"Girl, what's going on? Why do you have these things?"

There was anxiety in the young girl's eyes.

Su Wei was silent for a moment, and then slowly let her breath down, and told her the story: "The home of the husband and wife on Wednesday where you stayed, a murder happened last night. The husband and wife on Wednesday died at home."

"……what?"

The little girl was really frightened, and her face froze instantly. "Why is this happening?"

Su Luo put down the book: "At present, it seems that the gangsters took aim at the 50 taels of silver we gave him, and if they don't succeed in stealing the money, they set their hands on it."

Aji turned around: "I, I..."

Su Luo looked at her: "Do you want to go and see?"

Aji stopped, his watery eyes, which had been nourished by Su's food, were full of longing.

"The corpse has already gone to Shuntian Mansion, but I didn't take it with me, and no one will allow you, a little girl who has cut ties with them, to see the corpse, right? You won't see anything when you go." Su Wei said flatly fact.Picking up the tea, she took a sip, but she said, "If you really want to go and see it at home, it's not impossible."

……

On the night when the corpses of the Zhou family were transported to Shuntian Mansion, Dou Yin did a comprehensive examination.At the same time, Song Yan and his men found the murder weapon in a ditch half a mile away from Zhou's house, a butcher's knife with a blackened wooden handle.

This knife looks like a knife that has been used for a long time. Apart from the blackened wooden handle, there are also many scratches on both sides of the blade, and the emblem of the knife shop engraved on the end has also been worn out a lot.But the blade is very sharp, without even a small gap.

Of course, there was blood on the hilt.

"The width of the wound is the same as that of the corpse, but the depth of the female corpse's wound is only half of the knife. It can be seen that the murderer is not very strong, at least he is not a martial artist. If so, then the knife will have been completely missed. Male The wound on the corpse was even shallower, because the blood was injured and he lost too much blood before he was killed with one move.

"Combining the Zhou family's family background, and the love department I have interacted with over the years, we can conclude that our original guess is correct, and there is no greater involvement of the murderer in committing the crime, it is a general murder case. As for whether it was killing one's life for money, or accompanied by hatred and other contradictions, it will be judged only after the murderer is caught."

Dou Yin said while washing his hands in the copper basin brought by the yamen servant.

Song Yan held his chin and said: "After yesterday's incident, I have ordered people to quickly search all the slaughterhouses in the city, and every folk workshop in the city has also issued a notice, stating that if anyone in the workshop is found to be wrong, they will report to the government in time. The earliest news will come, it should be twelve hours later."

The ring-chested Han Mo nodded and said, "In addition to the inside of the city, we also need to look outside the city. Although the murderer committed the crime at night and had a target, he couldn't escape within ten miles, but he must be on guard against coming in from outside the city in advance to ambush him." Yes. In addition, around the haunted house, several people are lurking and guarding."

Yang You looked up: "Your Majesty still has doubts?"

Han Mo pondered: "There is a little girl next to Su Wei. Her parents were involved with Zhou Zhou and his wife before. Before she has a thorough understanding of the situation on her side, it is too early to draw a general conclusion about the crime. That's right," said When he got here, he motioned to Yang You, "I'll find Miss Su tomorrow and ask about the little girl's condition."

Hearing this, Song Yan couldn't bear it anymore: "That Miss Su, doesn't she have a lot of skills?"

Dou Yin sent the yamen servant away, then turned his head: "It's not just a few brushes? You don't know who she is yet?"

When Song Yan heard this, a look of horror immediately appeared on his face: "Is she really a 'ghost hand'?"

"If it's fake!" Yang You said these words emphatically.

Song Yan was full of disbelief, and murmured: "No wonder."

He thought he was wrong about Su Wei's skill in unlocking the lock at Zhou's house during the day, thinking that the box was unlocked in the first place!It turned out she was the one who drove it.The "ghost hand" that they unanimously speculated to be an elderly man earlier turned out to be completely subverted. Not only is he not old, but he is also a girl with a stunning appearance!
Dou Yin said: "Could it be that you saw her open the lock with your own eyes?"

Song Yan looked at him: "You had already left at that time. It's a pity."

Dou Yin really showed a little regret.People like them who rely on skills to make a living have respect for those who have real skills.

Yang You said: "What are you regretting? When she helps the prince, there will be plenty of opportunities for us to see in the future."

Dou Yin looked at Han Mo meaningfully: "So Miss Su has already agreed to the crown prince?"
