Although Wang Xi was found, Wang Xi died.

After asking around Qingquan Town, no one paid attention to such a woman.

Qingquan Town is bustling with people coming and going every day. There are too many women wearing veils like this, and no one will take a second look. Moreover, women wearing veils are originally meant to avoid suspicion. People with a little bit of knowledge

, let alone stare at it.

"It's finally good news." Xia Yue comforted everyone: "At least this woman has appeared. As long as she appears, she will definitely leave clues."

Otherwise, she would only exist in the words of the villagers, and she would really be nowhere to be found.

"It's not like there are no clues at all." Ye Caitang took out the leaf.

The piece found in the room where Wang Xi died.

"This is our only clue now." Ye Caitang said: "I went out for a walk this morning, and there is no such tree in the capital."

Trees are different from each other. Leaves are also different from each other.

Some trees are regional and only grow in certain places. If so, a leaf can roughly locate the direction of the murderer's movement.

Xia Yue took the leaf and now had time to look at it seriously and carefully.

"There seems to be no such tree in the capital."

In this era, most areas have a very strong awareness of environmental protection, and there are virgin forests and wilderness everywhere. Therefore, in the more prosperous places where people live, such as the capital, they are less likely to pay special attention to greening and plant trees everywhere.

There are not many trees in the capital. Of course, there are gardens in the houses of wealthy people, but Xia Yue has been to many, so he can't say that there are none. He can only say that he has never seen them.

"This is easy to handle." Xia Yue gave an order and called all the gardeners in the capital.

There are many wealthy families in the capital, but they are also divided into three, six or nine classes. Small households can only take care of their own food, clothing, housing and transportation. They cannot afford a gardener, are not in the mood to grow flowers and green trees, and have no spare money and time.

The best families will have their own gardeners, so naturally these people are not available on call.

But it doesn't matter, the gardeners all communicate with each other. Even those who are scattered around, when they are busy, they are rushing back and forth from each mansion to pick up work, and they have a clear understanding of what trees and flowers are planted in each mansion.

Children and grass are all clean.

Soon, all the gardeners in the capital were notified.

More than a dozen people stood in a row, staring blindly at a leaf on the table in front of them.

It’s not easy for the government either. Even a leaf has to be traced to the end.

"I invite you all to come and take a look." Xia Yue listened carefully and accepted Ye Caitang's previous suggestions, and said gently: "Have you seen this kind of tree in the capital? Where is it specifically?"

The leaves were already wilted when they were discovered yesterday, which showed that they had been away from the tree for some time. The murderer came from somewhere else.

Now it is even more wilting, so Ye Caitang was soaked in water, but this variety obviously does not have the ability to cut leaves, so it still wilted.

Everyone looked at it for a while and discussed it again. The older one came out and said: "Master Xia, we have never seen a tree with such leaves in the capital. There is a place where it exists."

Xia Yue hurriedly asked: "Where?"

The gardener said: "Nanshan."

After Nanshan finished speaking, the gardener was startled because several people stood up.

Xia Yue said: "Are you sure?"

The gardener was originally sure, but now he hesitated, so he had to discuss it again and nodded.

"I'm sure. Nanshan is so big, there are all kinds of trees, and there must be this kind of tree."

The reason is simply perfect.

Xia Yue originally believed in their professionalism, but now he began to doubt it.

But Nanshan seems to be a reasonable place.

If that woman had not gone to Nanshan, how would she have known about Master Ruhui's death? How could she have caught up with Wang Xi?

After sending the gardener away, Xia Yue ordered someone to go to Nanshan to confirm.

But whether it is true or not, this case seems to have reached a dead end again.

Even if it is proved that the leaf came from Nanshan and the murderer did come from Nanshan, it can only prove that the murderer has been to Nanshan, not that she lives in Nanshan. Even if she lives in Nanshan, Nanshan is too large and it is very difficult to screen a person.

.

What's more, apart from knowing that she is a woman, I don't know anything about her age, appearance, and characteristics. Although the innkeeper said that she has a gentle voice, her voice can be faked.

Since she covered her entire face without revealing a single bit, it made sense that she deliberately concealed her voice.

No one had much appetite for lunch today, and everyone looked gloomy.

Ye Caitang was the most worried. She was very worried about whether she would have to go to Liji Town if there was no progress in the case.

Although thirty-seven years have passed and there may not be any clues about Liji Town, there is always a glimmer of hope.

Ye Caitang rubbed his face, no, he still had to think of a way.

She knocked on the bowl: "I think..."

Let's all watch her together.

Ye Caitang cleared his throat: "I think the murderer lives near Nanshan. Even if it's not at the foot of Nanshan, it's not too far away."

Everyone looked at her, and Xia Yue said slowly: "I think so too."

Can you be more cautious? Ye Caitang rolled her eyes at Xia Yue, of course she only dared to do so in her heart. In fact, how dare she act so presumptuously in front of her creditors?

"Sure enough, it's what a hero sees. I'm the same." Ye Caitang flattered him: "Of course, you are a hero, and I am the one who is... the same."

Everyone in the meeting hall was shocked by Ye Caitang's ubiquitous spirit of promoting love among colleagues. Xia Yue felt a little embarrassed, but fortunately there were no outsiders here.

So Xia Yue pinched the bridge of his nose hard.

Haven't spoken yet.

Ye Caitang said smoothly: "The bridge of your nose is straight enough, no need to pinch it. I want to pinch Brother Liu next time."

Liu Sha, who was innocently lying at gunpoint: "..."

Liu Sha immediately touched his nose. Is my nose very flat? Although it is not as tall as an adult, it is not something that needs to be pinched. Besides, can it be pinched?

"No need." Xia Yue braced himself and said, "Liu Sha should pinch himself."

Oh, Ye Caitang didn't think anything of it, but he accidentally glanced at Xia Yue's nose a few more times.

The bridge of your nose is indeed very straight. She is telling the truth about this, and there is nothing to feel guilty about.

If it weren't for the fact that you are so good-looking, how could you be so happy working with cases and dead people in the six doors every day?

Xia Yue couldn't resist Ye Caitang's gaze, and coughed lightly, feeling that he had to say something quickly, otherwise the topic would become more and more distorted.

So Xia Yue said: "Xiaoye is so humble, you are also a hero among women."

Also considered a hero.

So, for some reason, the good case analysis meeting turned into Ye Caitang and Xia Yue praising each other. Others said they were embarrassed to watch, but they did not dare to jump out and object.

In the end, Xie Zhi, who still did not live on the two taels of silver, vowed to work hard in front of his master and would never be lazy, stood up and bravely spoke out what everyone was thinking.
