Chapter 75

"What?" Mrs. Tan and Mrs. Tan's old lady said in unison.

Mrs. Tan suddenly felt dizzy and light-headed, and she sat down on the chair behind her.

The old lady of the Tan family directly fainted out of breath.

Gu Xixi hurriedly stepped forward and pinched the old lady of the Tan family's Renzhong and Hegu acupoints, which made her recover.

"My grandson! How can you walk in front of grandma and ask grandma to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person!" The old lady of the Tan family wailed loudly.

The rest of the Tan family didn't lose their composure, but their faces were not looking good.

Master Tan with a pale face, stood up and pointed at Gu Xixi and angrily said: "You are lying."

"My son, Ji Ren, has his own appearance, so don't curse him."

Gu Xixi knew that he couldn't bear the pain of losing his son for a while, and he didn't want to admit the reality.

She did not refute Master Tan, but instead looked at Prefect Lu and said, "Master Prefect, the most urgent task now is to solve the case."

Prefect Lu was reminded by her, nodded immediately and said: "Miss Gu is right, let's go see that farmer now."

After instructing the master to take care of the Tan family, Prefect Lu walked ahead and took Qin Feng and Gu Xixi to the room where the farmer was temporarily detained.

There are two husbands and wives in this farmer's family, and because they have not been charged with any crimes, they had to be arranged in the government office's inhabitant's room and guarded.

The door opened, and the three of them entered.

The peasant couple looked to be in their thirties.

Gu Xixi saw that they looked familiar, but couldn't remember their names for a while.

It seems to match the two faces in her memory, but the villagers in Daniu Village in her impression usually wear rough shirts.

It seems that there are not many of them wearing gold and silver.

While looking at each other, the woman in the couple recognized Gu Xixi.

The woman only had a loud voice and shouted: "Hey, this is Xiya! After entering the city, it is really different, even more juicy and beautiful!"

While speaking, the woman deliberately stepped forward, trying to grab Gu Xixi's gloves to get closer, but Gu Xixi turned her body slightly to avoid it without a trace.

This voice. Gu Xixi immediately knew who they were.

Wang Mazi and Mrs. Wang, neighbors in the back street.

The Gu family fled to Daniu Village when the original body was ten years old.

So the house she lives in is near the entrance of the village.

Wang Mazi's house is in the back street of her house, which is closer to the village entrance than the village entrance, and relatively closer to the official road.

Gu Xixi did not speak, but carefully looked at the faces of the two.

There was obvious resentment between the eyebrows, and the whole body was wrapped in black air, and the wind blew through the air, and there was a bloody smell.

The breath and smell are still different.

The smell is there after it is stained with blood, as long as you wash it carefully, it will disappear soon.

But the smell of blood is different, it is unique to those who have had human life on their hands.

Whether it is an accidental miss, love killing, vendetta killing, or justifiable self-defense.

As long as someone has been killed, the smell of blood will last a lifetime and cannot be washed away.

"Xiya, a few days ago your parents were still talking about how you can live a good life in Yanzhou City, and you don't know how to go back and see them." Sister-in-law Wang didn't notice the sharp change in Gu Xixi's eyes, she still cared Self-talk.

"That's right, I heard that you didn't even go back home on the home day, how could the Li family be so unreasonable?" Wang Mazi also echoed.

"If you ask me, the family surnamed Li is really nothing. My son is a fool. If he wants to marry you and go back to celebrate his happiness, isn't this just ruining you?"

"Xiya, my brother's family has a son who is about your age, good-looking and talented, and studies hard. Why don't you consider remarrying?"

Wang Mazi and his wife sang together, trying to get in touch with Gu Xixi.

It's a pity that all the flattery fell on the horse's legs.

Gu Xixi's expression became colder and colder.

But before she could speak to refute, she heard scolding from beside her.

"What are you doing? Be quiet." It was Qin Feng's voice.

With a straight face, Qin Feng continued to speak sharply: "The two of you have not been cleared of the murder suspicion, and you are not sure whether you can get out of the government office, so you have to talk about a matchmaker in public? Where is the government office? What is it like to be the prefect?" ?”

After being reprimanded by Qin Feng, Wang Mazi and his wife were honest.

Prefect Lu asked Gu Xixi in a low voice: "Miss Gu, have you noticed anything?"

According to common sense, the government should not let other people get involved in the case.

But the disappearance of the eldest son of the Tan family is really strange.

One wants to see people in life, one wants to see corpses in death, but right now he has not even seen the fur of the eldest son of the Tan family.

Even the yamen servants were curious, and they couldn't help discussing in private whether the Tan family would offend some wild fairy and ask them to arrest their son.

If it weren't for the fact that he had no idea, Taishou Lu would not have agreed to Qin Feng's proposal anyway and brought Gu Xixi here.

Gu Xixi pondered, and said: "The murder of Mr. Tan may be related to Wang Mazi and his wife."

"However, evidence is always needed to arrest and convict someone."

"Master Taishou, can I go to their house?"

Prefect Lu had a sad face, but he agreed quickly.

He sent someone to arrange a carriage, and Qin Feng took a few yamen servants to escort Gu Xixi to Daniu Village.

Daniu Village is about twenty miles away from Yanzhou City.

When Gu Xixi entered Yanzhou City for the first time, she followed Wang Shuanghua and the others in an ox cart, and it took an hour to arrive.

The horse-drawn carriage was much faster than the bullock-drawn carriage, and in less than half an hour, they arrived at Wang Mazi's house in Daniu Village.

Daniu Village is a big village with more than [-] households.

Fortunately, Wang Mazi's house is at the entrance of the village not far from Xiaguan Road, so he can avoid the trouble of entering the village.

The gate of Wang Mazi's house was closed tightly, and the iron lock was mottled with rust.

Qin Feng only shook the two of them lightly, the iron lock fell to the ground, and the door was opened.

The courtyard was dilapidated and messy, with a lot of dirt piles and blackened charcoal.

Gu Xixi remembered that Wang Mazi's house was a kiln, and he opened a kiln on the mountain behind Daniu Village.

Many families in Daniu Village will open their own kilns to burn charcoal, and occasionally burn some ceramics to sell to subsidize their households.

It's just that the ceramics fired by the villagers themselves are very rough, definitely not as good as those fine porcelains in Mingyue Pavilion.

Often can't get a good price.

This made Gu Xixi even more surprised, Wang Mazi and his wife looked like nouveau riche, where did their money come from?

There is only one main room in the entire courtyard.

Two police officers were left to guard the chaimen, and the rest, including Qin Feng, followed Gu Xixi into the main room.

The windows are full of dust and the light transmission is extremely poor. Even in broad daylight, the main room is quite dark.

Qin Feng took the other two policemen to hold the lamp.

Turning around, I saw Gu Xixi staring at the dozens of large black basins neatly arranged under the window, fascinated.

Three horizontally and five vertically, a total of fifteen black basins.

"Miss Gu, is there something wrong with these pots?" One of the policemen asked curiously.

When they came to fetch people yesterday, a group of them had already searched the house, but found nothing.

Naturally, these black basins have also been carefully checked, and there is nothing hidden in them.

"Wang Mazi and his wife are lazy. Both the courtyard and the main room are dilapidated and messy. Only these black basins are neatly arranged." Gu Xixi said softly.

After all, she lifted up the basin by her hand and threw it on the ground.

The little catcher who spoke just now was stunned, what a lot of strength!

"Miss Gu, no!" Qin Feng hurriedly stopped, but it was too late.
