Zhao Liu said hurriedly: "The villain just came to give Aunt Wen a cloak and then left without even stopping! The Lord of the City knows what he knows, Master Lu knows what he knows!"

"Why are you panicking? I didn't say you killed anyone!"

Dou Lie snorted coldly. He couldn't help but look down on someone who was so frightened that he was pissed off as soon as he came. He intuitively felt that he had lost the prestige of the City Lord's Mansion. Looking at Jiang Ziguang on the side, although his face was a little ugly, this kid was still standing tall even though he was kneeling respectfully.

He straightened his body and looked quite proud.

"For your information, sir, the villain did not enter the room. Instead, he walked around the yard and left."

"Return to what?" Lu Qingfan asked.

"The foster father said that important guests are arriving today, and he ordered me to step up patrols to ensure safety. I know some boxing and kicking skills, and I came to Aunt Wen's courtyard just to follow the government soldiers for a routine inspection."

Jiang Ziguang glanced at Ding Quan: "The three of us came together, but the villain ran into Zhao Liu at the courtyard gate before we went in together. Zhao Liu went to do errands, and the villain inspected around and left. Mao San'er and Bao Gui

They can all testify for the villain."

Bao Gui and Mao San'er, who were kneeling beside them, kept echoing: "Yes, yes, we came together. After Ziguang finished his inspection, we all went to the yard next door. This is how we did errands in the past."

Compared with Ding Quan who immediately betrayed others in order to clear himself up, Jiang Ziguang's words were clear and convincing.

While Lu Qingfan listened, he quietly paid attention to Butler Jiang's demeanor. As Jiang Ziguang argued eloquently, Butler Jiang's expression visibly improved.

"That's it," Lu Qingfan stood up and said, "I've finished asking my questions."

Dou Lie was surprised, "It's gone now?"

"Uncle Dou, what else do you want to ask?" Lu Qingfan asked.

Dou Lie's beard trembled, wondering what tricks Lu Qingfan would come up with during interrogation. Who knew it was really just asking questions and sorting out confessions?!

He stood up without feeling satisfied and followed Lu Qingfan back to the place where the crime occurred: Aunt Wen's room.

As soon as he reached the entrance, Leng Hai handed Dou Lie a pair of foot muffs from the side, and he did not forget to explain: "Miss Yun specially prepared these, and City Master Dou had better bring them with him, so as not to erase the footprints of the murderer."

"This is my blanket, what kind of footprints can you see?" Dou Lie muttered while putting on the foot muffs.

In this compartment, Yun Xi changed into the goose egg-colored cigarette gauze dress prepared by Mrs. Dou.

When the group returned to Nanny Wen's yard, Leng Chuan, who had been quietly hiding in the dark, appeared and pointed to Nanny Wen's bedroom: "Your Excellency is at the place where the crime occurred."

"Thank you, Guard Sichuan." Yun Xi didn't miss the look of surprise flashing across Leng Chuan's eyes, and couldn't help laughing.

Mrs. Dou couldn't help but smile, "Go in."

"yes."

Not only had the inside of Nanny Wen's room been searched, the outside was also a bit messy.

As soon as Yun Xi walked in, she saw that the flower arrangement that was originally broken on the ground had been moved to the table, and the scattered books were quietly put back to their original places, including which ones were opened and which ones were co-authored.

clear and direct.

"Master Lu, are you restoring the scene inside the house?" Unknown to others, Mrs. Dou, who often comes here, saw that there was nothing wrong with the objects outside.

"Maybe he is looking for something. Didn't Aunt Qing say that Aunt Wen has something to give me? Mr. Lu may be trying to find something and infer the identity of the suspect."

As Yun Xi said that, she lifted up her skirt and asked Qingguo to help her put on the leggings. Qingguo quickly put them on for her young lady and then put them on herself.

Mrs. Dou: "..."

Now she finally understood why Yun Xi rarely wore complicated and beautiful skirts, it was really a hindrance.

"Let's go in to help first, and Aunt Qing will stay outside, right?" Yun Xi said apologetically: "We don't have that many foot covers."

"Okay." Mrs. Dou nodded, knowing that now is the time to do business. To catch the murderer of Granny Wen as soon as possible and ensure Yun Xi's safety, tonight is crucial.

"Master Lu, Lord City Lord, let's help." Yun Xi walked in holding up her skirt, and everyone in the room turned around.

Lu Qingfan's hand moved for a moment, and Mo Yan couldn't move away.

Yun Xi changed into a gauze dress, and her hair that she usually wore in a bun was combed into a small bun. The plum blossoms and white jade hairpin on her head were white and elegant, making her even more elegant and refined, like a lady.

"Wow, Miss Yun, you, you are so pretty!" Leng Hai shouted excitedly, speaking out the thoughts of the three men in the room.

More than beautiful.

Lu Qingfan lowered his eyes, wishing that Yun Xi would never wear something like this again. It was really... too dazzling.

Yun Xi, however, didn't care much about her appearance and clothes, "Aunt Qing specially selected them for me. She has unique vision."

As the little girl spoke, her attention had shifted to a few shallow footprints on the carpet. She frowned slightly and said to Qingguo: "Take paper and fine ink and rub the footprints."

"Hey, miss, I've got my ruler ready too," Qingguo said smartly.

The master and servant began to work as if no one else was around, and Lu Qingfan withdrew his gaze from Yun Xi with the utmost restraint.

Dou Lie, who was speechless for a while, winked at his wife standing at the entrance and gave a thumbs up.

Mrs. Dou quirked her eyebrows and her eyes turned red again.

Have you seen Grandma Wen’s spirit in heaven? Such a good person makes everyone’s protection worth it.

"He is five feet and one inch in length, of medium build. There is wear on the outer edge of his right foot. This person must often stand and bend down to do errands..." Yun Xi thought for a moment and guessed: "For example, a servant who trims flowers and plants, or a cook.

.”

After she finished speaking, she happened to face Dou Lie who looked surprised, "City Master Dou, what's wrong?"

Dou Lie stiffened his neck and asked Lu Qingfan: "Xiao Lu, have you not shown our confession to this girl?"

How can you infer Ding Quan's figure and behavior just from a single footprint on the carpet in the inner room?

"No." Lu Qingfan was accustomed to Yun Xi's ability and said calmly: "Ding Quan lied. He not only trimmed flowers and plants outside, but also entered the inner room."

"You little bastard, you dare to play tricks in front of my city lord." Dou Lie snorted coldly, and secretly remembered Ding Quan in his heart.

Yun Xi poured a drop of dew from the small porcelain bottle, spread it along the rice paper, and then brushed the powder bit by bit on the edge of the carpet footprints, then clasped the rice paper and picked it up.

After a while, a shallow footprint was printed on the rice paper.

Yun Xi briefly measured the depth of the footprints on the carpet, and then said: "The owner of this footprint is less than five feet tall and weighs about a hundred kilograms." She raised her head in confusion: "He left after standing for a while? Anyway,

The stay will not be long.”

"Did you take anything?" Dou Lie asked with interest.

He was so curious and wanted to see what else Yun Xi could see.

"I'm not sure. It's not heavy if you take it. It can hold up to about two people." After Yun Xi finished speaking, he added: "I guessed."

Dou Lie couldn't care about so much. He excitedly called Zhao Liulai, identified the cloak he gave to Nanny Wen, and even weighed it: the thin cloak weighed two and a half, which was almost as much as Yun Xi guessed.

No two.

"Good guy!" Dou Lie confirmed, Yun Xi is no ordinary gangster!

This ability to accurately test is extremely rare in the entire Ming Dynasty!

Lu Qingfan glanced at City Master Dou with a smile but not a smile: "The City Master has seen this before."

Dou Lie was no longer wrapped up in a mess, and he exited the inner room honestly, took off his foot coverings and gave them to his young wife, who then came in to look at the ornaments.

Mrs. Dou also imitated Yun Xi's example and put on leggings, and did not forget to complain about her husband's "ignorance and ignorance".

As early as when Yun Xi knew how to perform a caesarean section and perform an autopsy, she knew that the little girl was not an ordinary widow: a widow who could completely remove the internal organs and stuff them in intact... Mrs. Dou had never seen it anyway.

"Tell me about Aunt Wen's situation." Lu Qingfan was still restoring the interior furnishings little by little, trying to find out the general direction of where the murderer was looking for something.

In other words, it is to confirm whether the items hidden by Aunt Wen have been found by the criminal.

this point is very important.
