Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 67 Division of labor and cooperation
Ye Song came to his senses belatedly, looked at Su Chen, frowned, and said with restraint: "What should I do if I want to vomit?"

Su Chen gave her three words: "Go out and spit."

Immediately, Ye Song couldn't help retching, covered his mouth and ran out to vomit.

Soon, the investigators from Dali Temple came galloping on horseback very efficiently. There was a lot of noise, which disturbed the sleeping people nearby. From time to time, there were one or two dogs barking and children crying in the yard.After Ye Song vomited, he sat carelessly on the threshold, raised his finger and pointed inside, two investigators hurried in, and the rest stayed outside.

Ye Song took a deep breath and comforted himself: "I've seen everything, I don't mind seeing a little more, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid." Then he stood up and put on Su Chen's clothes with his hands into the sleeves, wrapping them tightly around his body , jumped two feet before stepping in again.Standing behind the investigators, she squinted at Su Chen's side, stretching her neck to glance over from time to time, not daring to stay too long.

Suddenly Su Chen raised his head, looked at Ye Song, his serious expression relaxed slightly, with a half-smile, he said, "Ye Song, come here."

Ye Song pretended to be stupid: "Ah, have you finished reading it? Let's go back to wash and sleep after reading it."

"The wound was two inches deep, and he was killed with a single knife." Su Chen slowly said the result of his examination, "The wound slanted to the left and was neat and neat. The murderer was left-handed and used a knife all year round." He paused, looking at the protruding face of the deceased Eyes, "He was very angry when he died. He should have seen the appearance of the murderer clearly. The person who came into the engraving shop in the middle of the night is most likely a customer who came to engrave seals." After saying this, he raised his eyes and looked at Ye Song, " This may be a new clue, do you want to go back to wash and sleep now, my king will send you back."

Ye Song came over slowly, squatted down next to him, and adapted to this fresh crime scene as quickly as possible, as if it was a donkey who died, leaving some clues like playing an intellectual game , came to find out who was the one who killed the donkey.In fact, this is also an interesting thing, if the scene is not so bloody and realistic.

Ye Song followed Su Chen's words to look at the wounds of the deceased, as well as the eyes of the deceased. Although she had never been in contact with these, she also felt that what Su Chen said made sense.Considering that the imperial seal was stolen and returned, and that the imperial seal was most likely related to the engraving shop, Ye Song decided not to leave.The more frightening something is, the more you have to muster up the courage to look at it twice and then it will feel ordinary.

The first thing Ye Song had to get used to was the dead man's staring eyes. She looked into the dead man's eyes and said, "You mean, someone came to ask him to engrave something. " Without waiting for Su Chen to answer, she said again, "There are traces of fighting and struggling in the room, which means that the murderer did not succeed in the first time, and he is not a person with strong martial arts. Besides, knowing that he is about to be silenced, shouldn't he feel that right away? Are you afraid, why do you feel angry? Therefore, the murderer may be his acquaintance."

Su Chen stared sideways at her in a daze.

Ye Song raised his head, not knowing why, "Is my analysis wrong?"

There is nothing wrong with that.She always observes the subtleties, starting from the small aspects, and she is getting closer and closer to the truth layer by layer.Just like the previous interrogation of Mr. Yu in Dali Temple, every sentence sounded like a rambling, but in the end they all pointed to a purpose, first to make people relax their vigilance, and then not to call themselves.

Su Chen looked away, and asked without any limit: "Are you not afraid anymore?"

"Hey, I'm not afraid, I'm just not used to it."

"Are you used to it now?"

"It's okay." She reminded, "You can call all the people in the neighborhood to ask."

Su Chen stood up, and the guards brought him a basin of water in the backyard to wash his hands. The guards had already searched the backyard of the carved shop, but there was no one there.The deceased should have been alone.

Su Chen took the towel from the guard and dried his hands. When he walked out, the guard had already called out all the sleeping people around him, and they were all waiting at the door of the pawn shop.They looked sleepy, but they were very nervous after hearing that there was a murder here.

Su Chen asked them one by one to ask questions, but the answers he got didn't make much progress.

The owner of Liu Shishi's engraving shop is Liu Shiji, who is withdrawn by nature and doesn't like to deal with people. He likes to make fake engraved seals, and his craftsmanship is quite good, so he is well-known in Taoism.In private, some important figures often come to him to engrave seals, because many businessmen are not well-respected, and he opens the door for business at night and does not close until midnight.Therefore, even if some unusual person came to ask him to engrave a seal, everyone would think it was very normal.But tonight when Liu Shishi died, no one noticed anything unusual and did not hear any noises. Several of them seemed to hear a scream, followed by the sound of horseshoes, and then they were brought here for no apparent reason.

After dismissing the neighbors, Su Chen entered the shop and saw Ye Song tiptoeing to search all the engraved seals on Liu Shiji's counter, with two cloth bags placed by his feet.Some of these engraved seals were engraved patterns, which looked very exquisite, and several of them were carved in jade with some value. She smashed the ugly and worthless ones into one cloth bag, and put the beautiful and valuable ones into another cloth bag.

Su Chen asked: "What are you doing?"

Ye Song hurriedly said, "These are all to be taken back for investigation."

"Then what are you doing with two bags?"

Ye Song pointed to the ugly one, and said as a matter of course: "Division of labor and cooperation, you can take this back to Dali Temple to investigate carefully", then pointed to the beautiful one, "I will take these back to the palace to study carefully."

Su Chen sneered, "You're pretty good at dividing up labor."

Ye Songhun didn't care and said: "In the future, you can still call me when this kind of thing happens, and I will help you divide the work."

When all this is done, the sky is already dawning.Su Chen didn't stop her from collecting back a pocket of valuable engraved seals. The guard of Dali Temple took over the case, and he turned around and said, "Let's go, you should go back."

Ye Song struggled to carry his pocket, and said, "Hey, shouldn't you help me?" As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced at the corner of the counter from the corner of her eye, and suddenly stopped in her footsteps.

There's a cloth bag there, and it's a little messy.Ye Song couldn't help but put down the bag containing the engraved seal, and went to get that bag.

Su Chen didn't hear Ye Song's footsteps, and when he turned around, she was opening her pocket, inside were large and small knives, shining dazzlingly.Ye Song frowned and took out a toothed knife, gestured in front of his eyes, it was as long as a palm, and touched the teeth of the knife with his finger, the knife teeth were still very sharp, and immediately cut Ye Song's finger, A bead of blood oozed from the fingertip.She stretched her eyebrows, raised her eyes and said to Su Chen: "Is this a carving knife, maybe we found the murder weapon."

When returning, Su Chen put a bag of engraved seals on the horse, and rode the same horse with Ye Song towards the direction of Prince Ning's Mansion.The sky is gradually brightening, and the morning light is twilight in late autumn. When the first ray of sunshine breaks through the sky, the whole world is covered with that brilliant golden color, which brightens Ye Song's pupils, and she squints warmly.Having not slept all night, it was inevitable that he was a little tired, so Ye Song leaned back unknowingly, leaning against Su Chen's chest.

"The murderer didn't even bring his own knife," Ye Song said suddenly, "It doesn't seem like he planned to murder someone. Is it really related to Guoxi?"

Su Chen thought for a while, and said, "You don't have to bring a murder weapon to kill someone."

Ye Song touched his neck: "You mean you can break the opponent's neck like this, so why did the murderer use a carving knife in the end?" Su Chen pursed his lips and said nothing. She stopped being entangled and let out a sigh of relief. , "But the first thing is to find the murder weapon."

When he arrived at the palace, Su Chen touched Ye Song's shoulder and Ye Song didn't respond. Only then did he realize that Ye Song had fallen asleep unknowingly on the way back.Under Su Chen's order, the royal family sent someone to send the bag to Bihuayuan, and he also went to Bihuayuan with Ye Song on his back.

The maidservants in Bihuayuan were overjoyed to see the young lady came back, and they were busy early in the morning.Su Chen carried Ye Song back to the room and put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, took a second look, then got up and left.When returning to Dongyuan, he hesitated a little, and turned halfway to Fangfeiyuan.

Lingyue was yawning and waiting for Nan Shu to get up.Afterwards, Su Chen stepped into the room. Nan Shu's brows and eyes were filled with a trace of melancholy, but the moment he saw Su Chen when he raised his eyes, there was a sense of sunshine.Su Chen's heart also softened at that moment.

Nan Shu said happily: "My lord, why is it so early?"

Lingyue retreated quietly, Su Chen came over and sat beside Nan Shu's bed, with the thin mist of late autumn on his body, said: "I just came back."

Nanshu's eyes showed worry, and he stretched out his slender hands to caress Su Chen's lapel, and said: "Recently, the lord is busy going out early and returning late, so don't get tired."

Su Chen grabbed her hand, smiled faintly: "I've neglected you for a while."

Nan Shu shook his head: "My lord is the most important thing."

"Why don't you sleep a little longer, the weather is cold, wear more."

Nan Shu smiled happily: "I know, I am used to getting up early every day, otherwise I will become a lazy person." She looked at Su Chen's slightly haggard face, "Will the prince come back? You don't have to rest, why don't you just sleep here with this concubine."

Su Chen said: "No need, I'll go back first. Pay attention to your body."

Ye Song slept until the afternoon and didn't wake up, still a little confused, thinking he was still in the cell of Dali Temple.As a result, he opened his eyes in a daze, and saw a neat line of maidservants in front of the bed, and he opened his mouth and said, "That's really good, you can still pick up girls when you reform the prison..."

Peiqing said loudly: "Miss, look clearly, you are not in Dali Temple now, you are back!"

Ye Song took a closer look, slowly regained consciousness, then fell back onto the bed, yawned, "I remember, so I was let out."

Then a few servant girls waited for her to wash and eat.The three meals in the morning, lunch and evening were mixed in one meal in the afternoon. It was very rich, and Ye Song ate an extra bowl of rice than usual. Pei Qing stood aside and said distressedly: "I have been in for a few days, and the lady has lost a lot of weight. .”
