The seller of the Meng family's old house is Meng Zixiao. The Meng family has been glorious for many times, but in this generation there is only one person left. Moreover, food and clothing are difficult, so they have to sell the ancestral house at a very low price.

Although there are constant rumors about that house, it is a large piece of land in a good location after all, so when the news came out that it was for sale, there were quite a few competitions.

Failed competitors may be murderers.

There are also people who have conflicts with the buyer Lu Waibei, and people who have conflicts with the Meng family.

As for the second victim, it is even more unclear. Her identity cannot be confirmed, and it cannot be confirmed whether it is a vendetta or an indiscriminate killing. This depends on Xia Yue's people to investigate, but a girl's family does not know how to travel

Qianli appeared in an unrelated abandoned house, so her identity shouldn't be too difficult to find.

Ye Caitang put down his pen, thinking about all the situations in his mind, and picked up a ribbon hanging on the bedside.

There is another problem that cannot be solved.

How did Lin Ling die? Even if it was windy and rainy at the time, so many witnesses would not have been blind. How could they not see the murderer at all.

Ye Caitang was puzzled, so he took the silk ribbon and gestured around his neck. After a while, he felt that something was still missing, so he climbed up on the chair, hung the ribbon around his neck, and carried it with one hand.

She is not fooling around. Many times, she tries to recreate the scene of the case as much as possible, the scene at the time, and the state of the deceased. When she observes and thinks from another angle, she often makes unexpected discoveries.

Standing and sitting, you see different things. Saving people and killing people, and thinking about problems are also different.

Ye Caitang was standing on a chair, holding his neck and thinking hard. Xia Yue hurried into the yard. As soon as he reached the door of the room and planned to knock on the door, his face changed.

The room was lit with candles, which cast Ye Caitang's shadow on the window.

She was standing on a high place, with a rope hanging around her neck and her hands raised high, as if she was about to hang the rope on the beam.

"Ye Caitang!" Xia Yue shouted sharply and kicked the locked door open.

Ye Caitang was closing her eyes and imagining that the murderer was behind her, when she suddenly heard a loud shout and the sound of the door being kicked open, which startled her. Her feet swayed, and she screamed, and she rushed forward.

go.

It's over, Ye Caitang thought sadly, his face will definitely fall flat this time...

Xia Yue's face grew bigger in front of him, and then Ye Caitang was grabbed by the clothes on his shoulders, shook them like a sack, and placed them on the ground.

The downward momentum suddenly stopped and his feet stepped on the ground again. Ye Caitang's legs were still a little weak. He slowly held on to the table on one side to prevent himself from squatting down, and at the same time glared at the person in front of him.

What time is it now! It's getting dark after dinner, and I've washed up and got ready to rest. Men and women don't have close relationships with each other. Even if you are your immediate boss, it's not appropriate to break into the room of a female subordinate in the middle of the night, you know?

What's more, he didn't even knock on the door, he just kicked the door open.

But Xia Yue didn't pay attention to Ye Caitang's hateful gaze at all. Instead, he put her down with one hand and took away the belt hanging from her neck.

Ye Caitang did not have a black ribbon. It was a white ribbon on one of her clothes. It was just ordinary fabric, but it did not affect the effect of strangling a person.

Before Ye Caitang could question him, Xia Yue scolded him sternly: "What are you doing? If you don't want to do it, just say it. There's no need to fight with death. I won't kill a person for fifty taels of silver."

Xia Yue was a little scared. It was so late and he would not come to Ye Caitang unless it was urgent. If he had been a step late, he would have seen a cold corpse tomorrow.

ah?

Xia Yue actually thought she was going to hang herself?

Ye Caitang said hurriedly: "I'm not going to die, I'm at the scene of a simulated case."

Xia Yue was stunned for a moment, then took a closer look. Sure enough, there was a piece of paper spread out on the table. What was written was not a suicide note, but some conjectures about the deceased and the murderer.

Xia Yue finally let go, and then felt that his actions just now were a little anxious, and he couldn't wipe his face off.

Ye Caitang also realized why Xia Yue rushed in without knocking on the door. It wasn't that he was rude and disrespectful, but he thought she was going to commit suicide.

Thinking of this, Ye Caitang was no longer angry.

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere in the room became a little awkward for a moment. Xia Yue changed the subject and said, "What about that, you are still diligent and worthy of praise. Did you find anything in the simulated case scene?"

Ye Caitang spread his hands: "Isn't it too late?"

Before he could find a good posture and angle, Xia Yue lifted him down.

"Don't hang yourself before it's too late." Xia Yue said, "I came here to tell you that the identity of the second deceased has been confirmed."

Ye Caitang did not expect that the identification of the deceased would go so smoothly, and he said happily: "Who is he?"

"The victim's name is He Ningqiu. She came to the capital from out of town with her husband just last week, so almost no one knows her, and her neighbors have never seen her."

"Her husband Yuan Weimao went out to visit friends yesterday and returned this evening. He passed by the city gate and saw a portrait of a missing person. When he came home, he found that his wife was not at home. He had already identified the body just now. The deceased was his wife He Ningqiu.

.”

Ye Caitang said: "Then he is in the six doors now?"

"Here." Xia Yue said with a somewhat disdainful expression: "I am holding the body and crying. I am crying so hard that I almost fainted."

Ye Caitang was a little strange and asked doubtfully: "Is there something... wrong with him?"

Although Xia Yue was a head catcher who watched life and death, she felt quite upright. It was such a pitiful thing for someone to come back from a trip and say goodbye to his wife. How could he show such an expression?

Xia Yue said: "I said I went to help when something happened at my friend's house, but I smelled like wine and powder, so I don't know what I was helping. I ended up going to a brothel and staying overnight at the Chu Pavilion."

Ye Caitang also felt strange when he said this. "How can a person like this have such a good relationship with his wife? It's just uncomfortable. It's an exaggeration to cry and faint."

"It still needs to be interrogated." Xia Yue said simply: "I went back to the room to get something and passed by your yard. I guess you are also concerned about this matter, so I stopped by to let you know."

"Thank you, sir." Ye Caitang thanked him neatly, then took up his pen and added the name after the second victim, and added the name of He Ningqiu's husband after the list of suspects.

Xia Yue also stood over and looked at it. After reading it from top to bottom, he said: "You have written it down like this, it is very clear. That is..."

Ye Caitang suddenly raised his head and looked at Xia Yue: "Sir, if you see through it, don't tell me."

She knew about the ugly character, no one needed to tell her.
