Sheng Chong and God Investigate the Princess

Chapter 34
Dusk slowly sinks in Fuliang County, and watchmen pass through the streets and alleys. In late autumn, the forests are all dyed, and in the last cicadas in the small town in the south of the Yangtze River, you can only hear the pounding of anvils, the small sound of gnats, and the long sound of leaks. .

Yayoi and Duan Sinan walked slowly along the East Street back to the yamen.

The man's brows and eyes are slightly raised, lazy and frivolous, but it seems that the peach blossoms are blooming in the autumn with deep frost and heavy dew.He looked at the cold woman beside him, with a look of approval in his eyes, and said slowly, "Unexpectedly, your intuition is also so sensitive."

Yayoi was not humble, but calmly said: "If it was a carefully arranged murder, how could he be seen by others? If there was a sudden killing intent and the evidence is solid, why didn't he kill himself? There must be something strange in it. " Her eyes flickered slightly, she turned her head to look at Duan Sinan, and said: "A'nan, you have already seen it."

Duan Sinan looked at the end of the long street, pursed his lips and remained silent.

But Yayoi understood it in his heart, and turned his head, looked at the end of the long street, and said, "There are three doubts."

"Let's listen to it." Duan Sinan was very interested.

"First, Yingqiu Academy is located in the busiest place in the mansion. I tried it just now. As long as you raise your voice slightly, you can hear what I'm talking about when you stand outside the door. If you are attacked and scream, you will definitely Someone heard it. However, we asked all the people at the banquet, and no one mentioned this." Yayoi analyzed carefully.

Duan Sinan nodded approvingly, "The most likely reason is that Zhou Tingting and Cheng Yuan did have an affair, and she trusted him. So when she was attacked, she was unprepared, so she didn't scream for help."

"Impossible." Yayoi shook her head, "If she really had an affair with Cheng Yuan, and she didn't prevent him from murdering her today, it means that she didn't think Cheng Yuan would kill her—in other words, she and Cheng Yuan had a love affair, There is no conflict. Cheng Yuan killed her at such a time of affection, it must have been deliberate for a long time. This brings us back to the assumption just now——" A sneer appeared on the corner of Yayoi's lips, "If it has been deliberate for a long time , how could you be so careless and be seen by so many people?"

With a smile on the corner of Duan Sinan's mouth, he turned his head to look at her, and then looked away from her again.

Yayoi continued to analyze: "Secondly, where did the murder weapon go? There was not even a sharp golden hairpin at the scene, let alone a knife that cut iron like mud? He was injured and bled to death. Neither the mansion nor Cheng Yuan found a knife with blood on him, so where did the murderer hide the knife after killing someone?"

Duan Sinan added: "Furthermore, no one saw that Cheng Yuan had blood on his body and was carrying a sharp knife when he left the Shadow Autumn Academy."

Yayoi nodded, and said the third suspicious point: "Third, we have already reconstructed the process of the incident, and accurately calculated it using the shadow of the thatch under the sun. If Zhou Tingting hadn't struggled, it would have taken a quarter of an hour Too much time to enter the hospital, kill, and leave—not to mention Cheng Yuan's first murder, he was flustered and inevitably made mistakes?!"

Her quiet eyes were piercing, sharp, deep and dark, with a hint of hostility in the night: "This is the biggest doubt in this case."

"Where do you plan to start the investigation?" Duan Sinan asked her.

"Go back and interrogate Cheng Yuan." Yayoi narrowed his eyes, "That day, there must be something that we have all neglected."

Talking all the way, they had walked slowly down Long Street and around the corner.The sky was getting darker and darker. It was clear and cloudless during the day, but it started to rain in the evening.One autumn rain and one cool, the temperature is getting lower and lower.

Under this dark sky, amidst the damp and cool steam, a dim yellow candle lamp was lit at the corner of the street, dimly illuminating a glutinous rice ball shop by the side of the road.

The boss was packing up his things, and it looked like he was going to close the stall and go home.

Duan Sinan saw that Yayoi's forehead hair was covered with tiny raindrops, and it was white, and then looked at the simple but warm shop, with a thought, he pulled Yayoi and walked towards the shop.

Yayoi was stunned for a moment, unable to react: "Why?"

"Do you want to eat glutinous rice balls?" Duan Sinan turned his head to look at Yayoi, blinking.

Only then did Yayoi feel a chill hit her body.She always liked summer and didn't like thick clothes. Although it was late autumn, she was still wearing thin clothes.At this time, it was still raining in the late autumn night. If I wanted to refuse, I turned around when I saw the steaming steamed glutinous rice ball shop, and the exit became: "Okay."

She seemed to have forgotten that Duan Sinan was still holding her hand.

Duan Sinan naturally held the small hand that was not enough to shake, walked to the thatched shed of the glutinous rice ball shop, and asked the boss: "Are there any glutinous rice balls?"

It was already sunset, and the boss didn't expect any guests to come, so he was packing up the stove and planning to go home.When he heard someone questioning, he looked up, but saw two immortal-like figures walking slowly in the translucent white steam.The man is magnificent, his eyebrows and eyes are like peach blossoms in March; the woman is indifferent and quiet, with a stern expression like the snow in the north.Talented and beautiful, what a pair of lovers!When did Fuliang County have such a person?He thought he was wrong, and rubbed his eyes hard again.

When they got closer, he realized that the heroic beauty behind her was the great hero of Fuliang County, Shen Butou!

Well, although the man in front is born with a female face, his appearance is world-renowned, and he does not disappoint their Shen Butou.

The boss thought so.

"Boss?" the handsome man asked again.

The boss just came back to his senses. "Yes! Yes!" He responded quickly, picked up the two large bowls beside him, and scooped a bowl full of glutinous rice balls into them one by one.

He led Yayoi and Duan Sinan to sit down, put the glutinous rice balls on the table, and said with a smile: "Catcher Shen is here today, I invite you to eat for free! If it's not enough, there are still in the pot, I'll warm it up."

Yayoi was also polite and thanked the boss.

The boss happily retreated behind the stove.

The two sat silently.Under the candlelight, in the water vapor, the white glutinous rice balls in the white porcelain bowl are round and translucent, and the surroundings are silent, which only makes people feel that the moment is quiet and beautiful, as complete and beautiful as this glutinous rice balls, which can last for thousands of years in a flash.

It was Yayoi who first picked up the celadon spoon in the bowl, lowered her head, "Eat."

"En." Duan Sinan responded in a low voice.

The glutinous rice balls are warm and hot inside, full of sweet taste, just like his heart.

Duan Sinan thought of the gathering of the children of the aristocratic family in the capital, and talked about his beautiful wife in his arms, so uncomfortable.The eldest son of Rongguo's mansion and the son of the household minister's family always persuaded him that love is the happiest thing in the world.But he has always felt that women are troublesome, and he is still happy being single.In addition, he sometimes acted on occasions for the tasks given to him by the emperor, but he only suffered from women's sufferings, but he did not taste the essence of it.

——Until today, he has not experienced the bliss in this world.

It turns out that without saying a word, I can feel so happy in my heart just eating hot glutinous rice balls for one night.

The woman on the opposite side closed her eyes and ate the glutinous rice balls in small bites, arrogant and serious.He stared fixedly, hoping that this moment would be longer, and longer.

It was raining at night outside the shed.

Twilight Quadruple.

　Duan Sinan: Why did I get free glutinous rice balls because of her?It turns out that I can still eat soft rice with her!It really is the woman I like!very good very good!

　　Shen Misheng: What about the lychees you promised me? !
　　-

　　When traveling outside, sometimes I will be very happy when I encounter small things like glutinous rice balls.Seeing the jelly-colored sea surface of the Great Barrier Reef, being given some free candies, or encountering a warm snack by chance on a winter night, I just want to share it with others and talk to people I like.It's a pity that I didn't, and Duan Sinan not only shared, but also ate with her, it was very happy.
