After they entered, they saw a lot of people. They entered the village and followed the sound of trumpets to the place where the funeral was held.

At first glance, it turned out that a funeral was being held. After asking a villager nearby, I learned that it was Wang Xiaosi's family.

Qiu Wuhen and Qian Jinzhi stepped in. Qiu Wuhen was just one of the few people who knew him, but Qian Jinzhi was recognized by quite a few villagers and greeted her warmly.

Because Jinzhitang opened by Qian Jinzhi is a time-honored brand for many years and is the largest pharmacy in Yunduan County. Many people have received medical treatment and medicine from her.

In addition, she was a beautiful female shopkeeper, so they all paid special attention to her, so they recognized her and hurriedly greeted her.

When Wang Xiaosi's brother and mother got the news, Qian Jinzhi said: "We got the news and came to express our condolences. This is Mr. Qiu Wuhenqiu, the famous Xingshi of the Yamen."

After saying that, he took out a small ingot of silver and handed it over and said: "It happened in a hurry and there was no time to prepare. Let me express my feelings."

His brother rushed to take the money and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you very much, you are really thoughtful."

After saying that, he put on a sad face and said, "My poor little brother."

Then he hurried over to meet Qiu Wuhen.

Qiu Wuhen said: "Let's express our condolences to the deceased first, and then sit down and talk."

Several people went to burn incense in front of the soul, and then went inside.

Qiu Wuhen pointed to a few Taoist priests who were doing the dojo outside and said, "It seems that your family is quite rich, and you can still hire those Taoist priests to do the dojo."

Wang Xiaosi's brother said: "Master, that sloppy monk invited this for us. He didn't ask for any money. He said he was doing rituals for three days and that he only needed food. And he didn't want big fish or meat, just a bowl of rice."

That’s fine, we’re naturally grateful and agreed.”

Qiu Wuhen was startled and asked him hurriedly: "Where is that sloppy monk? Where are the others?"

"I don't know. He brought these Taoist priests and left without even taking a sip of water. He is such a kind person."

Qiu Wuhen said: "By the way, there is one thing I want to verify. More than ten days ago, did Wang Xiaosi say he saw a ghost and yelled when he went to the toilet at night?"

Wang Xiaosi's brother said: "Yes, he is actually very timid. After we went there, he said he saw a dead woman. He said that the woman had died the day before, but she appeared in our house.

It’s really weird next to the toilet in the back.”

"But we searched the area and didn't see anyone, so he must have been dazzled."

"Can you take me to see the place where he said he saw ghosts first?"

Wang Xiaosi's brother agreed and took them to the back of the house. There was no one here, and the funeral people were all in front.

His brother pointed to the front of the toilet and said: "At that time, he was squatting there and said there was a ghost, and then we searched everywhere, but there was no one there at all. He also said there was no one there, so he went back."

Qiu Wuhen took the lantern and walked over, looking at the location indicated by his brother. Sure enough, there was a tree not far ahead.

He walked under the tree and did not get close, for fear of damaging the traces. He just squatted down and took a closer look.

What made him happy was that there happened to be no grass under the tree. It had snowed again before, and the ground was moist, but the snow should have melted when he stepped on it, and he found half a vague footprint on the ground.

Qiu Wuhen immediately touched the footprints with his hands and extracted them.

The extracted footprints were immediately compared with the ones already in my mind, and sure enough, they actually matched Yinchai's shoe prints.

It was really Yinchai. As she said she would come back, she really came back.

Then why did she come back to Wang Xiaosi? Was it to scare him to death? Then why didn't she do something more scary, just with a little blood at the corner of her mouth? What's this called scary?

She should turn into a fierce ghost and come to strangle Wang Xiaosi's neck to scare him to death. Or she should just strangle him to death with her own hands. Why bother with so much effort?

Qiu Wuhen really couldn't figure it out.

Apart from that footprint, no other footprints were found. Of course, this is also because except for the fact that there is no grass under the trees, there is basically grass or gravel everywhere else, so it is not easy to leave footprints.

Qiu Wuhen's suspicion was confirmed, and he was even more worried.

We were originally here to investigate the mysterious death of Qi San, but unexpectedly we got an important breakthrough in the case of Wang Xiaosi's death.

However, the clue discovered by this breakthrough is horrifying. It is a dead woman.

Qiu Wuhen began to doubt whether she was really alive. Did he make a mistake when he checked her?

Qiu Wuhen didn't believe that with his many years of forensic experience, he could still determine whether a person was dead, but how could he explain everything that happened in front of him?

Qiu Wuhen asked Wang Xiaosi's parents: "Is there anything different about Wang Xiaosi these days, or do you think it's weird?"

His father shook his head and looked at his eldest son.

His brother thought for a moment and said, "He went home the night before yesterday and said he met a ghost on the road. It was a woman who had died before."

"But he didn't make it clear. He said he went to Jinzhitang to see a doctor. The shopkeeper of Jinzhitang had some friendship with him, so he charged less."

"By the way, he said that he also made some money. After seeing the doctor, someone asked him to deliver a letter, and he made fifty cents."

Qiu Wuhen's heart was moved again. It was another messenger. He quickly asked: "Did he tell you what the person who asked him to deliver the letter looked like and where he was asked to deliver the letter?"

"He didn't say, but someone in the county asked him to deliver a letter. It was sent to Yeji Temple to the deaf-mute monk."

Qiu Wuhen and Qian Jinzhi looked at each other again, and the deaf-mute monk from Yeji Temple appeared again, and he also sent a letter.

Moreover, Wang Xiaosi and the man who delivered the letter were on the cliff in front at almost the same moment. One jumped off and fell to his death, while the other dug a hole and let rocks hit him to death.

These two people have one thing in common: they both delivered a letter for someone, and both received fifty cents.

Qiu Wuhen suddenly felt something in his heart and asked, "By the way, where is the fifty coins he got?"

"I have already spent money on oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. I am in short supply at home. I was planning to celebrate the New Year, so he bought it as soon as he got the money, and then came back after delivering the letter."

"Did he say anything about delivering the letter?"

"He didn't go to deliver the letter because he said there was no deaf-mute monk there at all. He said he had just been there a few days ago. When he saw the monk, he just told him that there was such a letter and then sent it."

Qiu Wuhen was overjoyed and said, "So, the letter is still here with you."

"Already burned."

"Burned? Why?"

"The Taoist Master said that because his death was so strange, it's best to burn everything that belonged to him, lest he worry about coming back to find someone, so burn everything."

Qiu Wuhen was greatly disappointed, but at this moment, Wang Xiaosi's mother said: "The letter was not burned, it is still with me."

Qiu Wuhen was surprised and happy, and said quickly: "That's great, can you show me the letter?"

"I put it in my jewelry box. Xiaosi said this letter was for the monk, so he asked me to keep it, otherwise he would have a bad memory and he would forget about it and be afraid of losing the letter.

"

"I also said at the time that you have a bad memory. Could it be that you are worse than me? But I still helped him collect the letter. I was really afraid that he would lose the letter and take the money from him. I couldn't do it.

It’s always inappropriate.”

While talking, he brought a jewelry box, which was actually just an iron box or something like that. When he opened it, there was a letter covered inside.

She reached out to take it, but Qiu Wuhen quickly stopped her and said, "Don't touch it, let me do it."

Qiu Wuhen walked over, looked at the letter, and put it on the top.

Qiu Wuhen immediately carefully covered the entire letter with his palm, and moved it slowly. He immediately got all the fingerprints on the surface of the letter in his mind.

Then he pinched both sides with his hands and took out the letter, turned it over and put it on the table. He also covered it with his hands and extracted the fingerprints on it. He compared it with all the existing fingerprints and found Wang Xiaosi's easy understanding.

.

In addition, there were several fingerprints that were different. He immediately extracted the fingerprints of Wang Xiaosi's mother's index fingers for comparison. Many of the fingerprints were left by his mother because his mother wanted to put the letter in

In the jewelry box.

There was only one fingerprint that no one matched, and this fingerprint should be that of the tea guest.

Qiu Wuhen wondered who this person was, could it be Yin Chai. He compared his fingerprints, but found that they did not match Yin Chai's.

In fact, in the previous automatic comparison, if it is Yinchai, it will automatically show that it has been matched. Since there is no obvious result, of course it proves that there is no match.

Qiu Wuhen read the letter. It was not sealed, but folded, so he shook the letter out of the envelope.

Qiu Wuhen tried his best to explore the surface of the paper and extracted fingerprints. One of the fingerprints matched the fingerprint on the envelope.

Then he unfolded the letter and was surprised that the paper was blank, not even a word on it.

He was surprised and immediately turned the letter over, but there was no writing on the back. When he looked at the light, there was no invisible writing written on it using rice soup or the like.

This is strange. Why did this tea drinker give Wang Xiaosi an unwritten letter and ask him to send it to Yeji Temple to the sloppy monk? It is really strange.

But now that Wang Xiaosi is dead, they can't find out who the tea guest who asked them to deliver the letter is.

Qiu Wuhen used his hands to extract the front and back of the letter without writing, and extracted several fingerprints.

Moreover, some of the fingerprints on the back when Qiu Wuhen opened it previously overlapped, so it was likely that they were from the same person, but of course they could also have been left by someone else.

After he finished taking it out, Qian Jinzhi looked at him suspiciously and said, "Why is there no writing on it?"

"This should be the intention of the tea guest. He deliberately said that there was a letter. In fact, the letter had no content at all."
