004 crime

Since the "pages" of this world have been found, and a peaceful and friendly agreement has been reached.

In order to save energy, Hei Maoyi has to adjust his own mode to dormant, which means that from now on, Nanxing will have to grasp everything after that.

The next morning, Nanxing changed into women's clothing.

This women's outfit is the simplest set in the bag, a water-green half-sleeved flat-neck top, a pleated Ruyi skirt of the same color. The clothes and skirts are embroidered with autumn blue silk threads.

Under Ling Xi's guidance, it took a while to put on the clothes. Nan Xing scratched his head speechlessly, almost messing up his newly combed bun.

Such a dress almost shocked Xiao Shitou's chin. He didn't expect that the hero yesterday was actually a young lady.

Nan Xing was holding Ling Xi, and he looked like a young lady from a wealthy family took her little lady out for a trip.

In the virtual network of 3700 years, many high-end merchants used retro as a gimmick, and Nanxing was willing to experience it, but these merchants were all membership. She was a girl from the bottom of Blue Star and had no spare money at all.

As they walked and stopped on the road, Nanxing saw everything fresh, while Lingxi was curious about everything. After a while, the two had bought a few boxes of snacks and some tea leaves. Including the medicine shop, both of them prescribed a few doses of heat-clearing medicines.

I chose a few sets of clothes for Ling Xi at the largest garment shop in Nan'an City, and then went to the jewelry shop next door to choose some hair accessories suitable for the little girl. The two of them returned with a lot of loads.

In fact, while buying clothes and jewelry, Nanxing also inspected the business situation here.

After all, Ye Nanxing’s family owns a silver house, and she also met a lot of jewelry when she was a child. Nanxing already had a general plan in mind, and her own silver house was her starting point.

On the third day of Nan'an City, Nanxing was preparing to let Xiaoshitou lead the way and go to the north of the city to buy a carriage.

Although the journey from Nan'an City to the imperial capital Jinling Mansion is plain and can be reached in half a month by walking the official road. But after all, Ling Xi is still young and there are too many inconveniences in riding a horse.

But as it was half past noon, Xiao Shitou had not arrived at Yuelai Inn.

After several days of contact, Nanxing felt that Xiao Shitou was not the kind of person who did not keep his promises.

Originally, Nanxing was about to inquire about Xiao Shitou's place with the shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn, and wanted to see what happened.

But before she could speak, she heard someone gossip about the shopkeeper saying that Xiao Shitou killed someone, and was taken away by a servant from the government office in the morning, and may have to be transferred to the court for questioning in the afternoon.

Although Nan'an City is not small, there are still many murders throughout the year, and it is often done by bandits.

Nanxing asked Ling Xi to stay in the inn, and he followed the people watching the fun to Nan'an City Government Office. The government office was not too far from Yuelai Inn, and it took about half an incense stick to walk.

The government offices in Nan'an City do not cover a large area, but the eaves and brackets on the roof and the vermilion gates are all awesome.

Many people have gathered outside the government office. Nanxing found the yamen runners and showed a small iron plate the size of a palm-sized one given by Master Nuan before leaving.

The iron plate is black and shiny, with the three words "Liangzhen Palace" carved on the front, and the Taoist name is carved on the back, which is called "My Wonderful Top and Qingxia".

This iron card is an identity card issued by the royal family to Lianzhen Palace, which proves that the identity of Lianzhen Palace Maid Crown is extraordinary.

Nanxing's master is the senior sister of the Palace Master of Lianzhen Palace. He originally wanted to inherit the Palace Master, but she declined it politely, saying that he wanted to devote himself to his practice and did not want to pay too much attention to civil affairs.

In order to show respect to the senior sister, the palace master specially emphasized that the emperor was grateful for her spiritual desire and gave her an additional iron plate.

Yanming, if one day you accept a disciple, you can directly hand over this iron card to your disciple and become a member of the Lianzhen Palace. You must know that this is a great honor.

After Lianzhen Palace became the royal temple, except for the female Taoist priests who were originally inherited from Lianzhen Palace, there were only the sister Qin Shunde Princess who was the pilgrimage, and everyone else was rejected by Lianzhen Palace.

Nanxing successfully met the prefect of Nan'an City through this ID card of Lianzhen Palace. After some greetings, Nanxing expressed his interest in the case and hoped to listen.

The prefect responded after the master's suggestion.

"mighty……"

Accompanied by the mighty voice of the yamen runners, the people watching the fun at the door became quiet.

The case is very simple. The deceased Li Guihua is Zhao Shi's aunt, and Zhao Shi is the name of Xiao Shitou. Zhao Youcai, who was found to be Zhao Shi's uncle, and Zhao Youcai and Li Guihua are husband and wife.

When Zhao Youcai got up this morning, he heard the sparse sound of rain outside and snuggled on the kang for a while.

I don’t know how long it took, but when I heard the rain stopped, I stood up and didn’t find my wife Li Guihua. Then I thought, it might be that I went to Zhao Shi’s house to collect debts.

Before Zhao Shi's father passed away, he asked Zhao Youcai about borrowing a tael of silver, saying that he wanted to renovate the house, but he died before he had time.

Because Zhao Shi and his sister were too young, the couple never came to ask for debts. Recently, the eldest son in the family wanted to marry, so they thought about asking Zhao Shi to pay back the money.

When Zhao Shi's yard opened, Zhao Youcai saw Li Guihua lying on the ground on the yard with blood on her chest. He looked at her nose and found that Li Guihua was dead. Then he shouted. The neighbors heard his cry and reported the case.

After coroner tests, the wound on Li Guihua's chest was caused by a pair of scissors. Bloody scissors were found in the corner of Zhao Shi's courtyard. The neighbors also said that Li Guihua ran to Zhao Shi's house every day in the past few days, and kept talking to her.

Judging from the current situation, Zhao Shihanhen’s chance of killing is very high.

Nan Xing had a look at Li Guihua's body before. The visible data clearly showed that Li Guihua died of drowning. After careful observation, there were many suspicious points on the body.

Zhao Youcai was already crying now, and his words meant that Li Cuihua was Zhao Shi's elder no matter how he was. How could he kill his aunt and do such a careless thing?

Nanxing hinted at the master. Then, the prefect announced that he would extract several more evidence and continue to interrogate after an hour.

During this period, Zhao Shi was imprisoned, but Zhao Youcai and his men were not allowed to leave the government office.

When he arrived at the back hall, the prefect of the prefecture ordered several yamen runners to take Nanxing to Zhao Shi's house.

Zhao Shi’s family is in the northwest corner of Nan'an City. The terrain is low-lying. When it rains and snows, the road is particularly muddy and difficult to walk on.

Especially in summer, there is plenty of rain and many mosquitoes will breed, so only poor people will settle down here, and this area is also a well-known slum in the city.

Looking at the ground, Nan Xing recalled Zhao Youcai's clothes. She just found that Zhao Youcai's shoes seemed to be newly replaced. Although there was a lot of mud on the shoes, they didn't look like they had been wearing them for several days.

Even though I knew it rained last night, I changed into a new pair of shoes today, which was very suspicious no matter how I looked.

In ancient times, there was no habit of maintaining the crime scene. Although neighbors were afraid of the scene of such murder, the outside of Zhao Shi's family was still in a mess.

After careful inspection, Nanxing finally discovered the location beside the courtyard wall.

Afterwards, Nanxing asked the yamen runners to lead the way and went to Zhao Youcai's house. At Zhao Youcai's house, Nanxing finally found decisive evidence.
