Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang returned to the city with a few little yamen runners, surrounded by many people at the entrance of a jade shop.

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were maintaining order, and many yamen runners came. Gongsun Zheng, who was carrying small medicine boxes, rushed over with a black owl.

"Who is dead?" Gongsun asked as he got off the horse. He swayed his tail and looked around, as if he was looking for Zhao Pu.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had just arrived, shook their heads and signaled that they had just arrived.

At this time, I saw a man in the mansion walking out, and he was another commander of the Imperial City Army, Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi scratched his head, "I just changed to Cao Lan. This morning we laughed at him as a slut. He was searching for a street in the middle of the night and ran into a murder case in a haunted house. Unexpectedly, it was my turn in half a day."

Bai Yutang and Gongsun both looked at Zhan Zhao silently - it seemed that you were the one who was in decline.

Zhan Zhao looked at the two of them, and that meant that you two were suspicious, so they didn’t bother to me!

Zhan Zhao was making a disgusting expression. The black owl on the side suddenly shook his tail, and his dark tail fur shook Zhan Zhao's face.

Zhan Zhao grabbed the tail of the black owl and suddenly asked, "Did Duoduo have given birth?"

Gongsun and Bai Yutang looked at the face holding the black owl and asked it seriously, "Did Duoduo give birth? A boy or a girl" and sighed.

"Who is dead?" Gongsun took a step back and looked up at the plaque at the door, touched his chin, "Zhaoyue Jade Artifacts?"

"Is it the shopkeeper who died?" Zhan Zhao asked Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi shook his head, "The shopkeeper's wife is dead."

Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned.

"And the death is still quite terrifying." Jiang Yi signaled Zhan Zhao and the others to go in and take a look.

Bai Yutang frowned when he heard that he looked ugly. He could help investigate the case but there was no need to appreciate the corpse...

The fifth master was looking around, otherwise he would go to a herbal tea shop to wait for Zhan Zhao and Gongsun to finish reading... but Zhan Zhao grabbed his wrist and pulled it into the jade.

The fifth master was also very helpless. This cat was too fast to be able to defend against.

After entering the yard, the fifth master regretted it when he saw the body.

Bai Yutang sighed, he would have known he wouldn't have come in... he would have vomited out the overnight meal.

At this time, there was a woman's body in the middle of the yard. The woman was about forty years old and was kneeling on the ground. Her neck was broken and she hung weakly on the right side. On the left neck were two bamboo sticks, and two fat toads with the size of a bowl were strung on it.

Zhan Zhao opened his eyes wide and looked at the strange-looking female corpse, and circled around, "Whose Kill Xie Yiting seems to be a murderer, right? They all like to insert things into their necks, although one has a paper flower and the other has a toad.

Gongsun squatted down to check the body.

After a rough look, Gongsun raised his head and said, "I died after my neck was twisted."

As he said that, Mr. Gongsun added, "The toad's neck is also broken."

Bai Yutang looked at the two bloody toads with disgust, feeling his stomach turbulent, thinking that why the murderers these days are like this - killing people, what are you doing with so many tricks?

Zhan Zhao called the jade shopkeeper who was crying.

The shopkeeper's name is Wang Shouye. The three brothers in the family are all in jade artifacts, and he is the second. Wang Shouye lost his wife in middle age, and his original wife was his childhood sweetheart. The two had a deep relationship. Ten years ago, his original wife died of serious illness. After that, Wang Shouye has been alone. About three years ago, he met the current wife Pei.

The wife who died in the yard was Pei Qin, and she was very beautiful. Although she was in her forties now, she still had charm and had a good figure.

Pei Qin was picked up by Wang Shouye while she was hiding from the rain outside the jade shop. At that time, she was penniless and sick, which was very miserable.

Wang Shouye took her in.

After spending a while together, the two became in love.

Wang Shouye married Pei Qin.

Pei Qin never talked about her past experiences, nor did she say why she fell into the streets so miserable, and Wang Shouye didn't ask.

At that time, many people advised Wang Shouye that although this woman looks good, her origin is unknown. Not to mention a woman who is a woman who is surrounded by her might be troublesome. But Wang Shouye didn't listen. He felt that he had no money or power and had nothing to be greedy for. Besides, no one has any past events that are hard to tell about? Anyway, he looked at Pei Qin very well.

After the two got married, they have been living a good life in the past few years. The couple is loving, Pei Qin is very virtuous and has a gentle personality. Wang Shouye, who had complained about her before, also praised her very much.

But who knew that Pei Qin was suddenly killed.

Wang Shouye was doing business outside just now when he heard a maid screaming in the backyard. When he ran back and saw that he fainted at that time. He had just woken up.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Wang Shouye crying, knowing that the couple really had a good relationship, and they also felt a little sympathized with the middle-aged man whose hair was gray and whose two lovers had already lost their two lovers.

However, sympathy is sympathy, the case still needs to be investigated.

Zhan Zhao asked Wang Shouye, "Who has Mrs. Zun offended? Can you think of anyone who wants to harm her?"

Wang Shouye shook his head and said that his wife never left the door and had never walked out of the door. She had basically never seen any stranger. She really couldn't imagine anyone trying to harm her.

"She was wandering on the street before she met you." Bai Yutang asked, "Would she be hiding from some enemy? Has she mentioned it?"

Wang Shouye sighed, "I can see that she seems to have experienced a lot, but she has never mentioned it, and I don't want to ask who would have thought it would be a disaster for killing."

"Do you know Xie Yiting?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Wang Shouye was stunned and frowned slightly, "What is the shopkeeper of the Freehand Painting Library?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded, thinking that there is a way to go! It seems that they know each other.

"I've had a few encounters," Wang Shouye recalled, "He went to my shop to buy a few pieces of jade to carve stamps, and asked me to help his friend identify some jade artifacts and help estimate the price."

"What kind of jade artifact is it?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"It's all Jade Buddhas. He has a friend who seems to specialize in Jade Buddhas." Wang Shouye said, "There are a few really good things that are used in the palaces of the previous dynasty. I guess his friend should be either rich or noble."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other - Xie Yiting helped people sell stolen goods, and it was reasonable to find someone who knew the industry to estimate the price.

"Have Madam Zun seen Xie Yiting, too?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Wang Shouye shook his head, "Of course I haven't seen you before. Xie Yiting and I are not friends, and my wife also avoids meeting people I know."

When Zhan Zhao heard this, he asked, "Shopkeeper Wang, to be honest, do you think your wife is deliberately avoiding seeing people, as if she is hiding from someone?"

Wang Shouye didn't say anything, frowned slightly. After a long time, he sighed and nodded, "She is indeed always careful, as if there is something very scared about people and things. She occasionally wakes up in the middle of the night and asks her what's wrong, but she refuses to say it."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, then looked at Pei Qin's body. The other party could kill people without knowing it, indicating that his skill was not low. If it had anything to do with Wang Shouye, the shopkeeper would definitely not be able to escape... But killing Pei Qin alone did not hurt others, indicating that it had something to do with Pei Qin's past. However, it was difficult to investigate now. Pei Qin was dead. Wang Shouye asked three questions and the clues were cut off again.

Finally, Gongsun sent the body to Kaifeng Mansion and ran over to ask Wang Shouye, "The one stuck on Mrs. Zun's neck..."

Wang Shouye nodded and sighed, "It's simply inexplicable. Everyone is dead, why do you still humiliate her like this?"

"Do you know the meaning?" Gongsun asked.

Wang Shouye shook his head.

Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang sees Gongsun.

Gongsun spread his hands, and the meaning was as if paper flowers were inserted on Xie Yiting's body, and the meaning was unknown!

Gongsun left the jade shop with Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and asked the two, "Where is the little four son?"

Zhan Zhao said he had stayed in the Imperial Academy.

Gongsun looked at the sky and said, "It's time to have lunch, I'll pick him up."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang thought about it and followed him to the Imperial Academy.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the gate of the Taixue, they smelled a burnt smell. The black owl screamed twice and looked upwards.

The three of them looked up and saw that there was thick smoke rolling in the Taixue School.

Zhan Zhao was shocked.

Gongsun jumped up, "Why is it on fire again!"

Bai Yutang shook his head.

In the distance, Jiang Yi led the Imperial City Army to kill him, and while running, he shouted, "I said! What's going on with the Taixue!"

Gongsun was a little worried, why did he get angry but no one came out?

Everyone ran into the Taixue and saw it, but were stunned.

The Taixue did burn the fire now, but it was obviously not a fire, but someone was burning something.

I saw several identical bookshelves in the middle of the Kong yard, just like the one in Mr. Lin’s study, which was filled with useless book files, which were placed just like before Mr. Lin’s bookshelf was burned.

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, "It's a very smart way."

Gongsun leaned over and picked up the little four son who was eager to watch the fire.

At this time, I heard Bao Yan shouting, "Time is up!"

As Bao Yan finished speaking, Bai Yutang flicked his sleeves... and extinguished the fire according to his previous method of extinguishing the fire.

Ge Qing, who was preparing to put out the fire, scratched his head. It turns out that Bai Yutang's internal strength is still strong...

So everyone began to compare the remaining bookshelf burned with the one in Lin Fuzi's study.

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Although this method cannot ensure that it infers which book is lost, it can at least infers which layer it started to catch fire."

Bai Yutang also nodded, "The situation was urgent at that time. The other party set fire to the book, which would ensure that the layer that was thrown out was completely destroyed, and the other layers were used as cover. No matter what, the first one was lit must be the layer that was stolen."

Bao Yan hugged his arm, "The bookshelf is full of students' lists, one floor every five years, about two volumes a year, placed in the middle, and on both sides are students' test papers and the like."

After everyone compared it, they finally found one of the bookshelfs that were burned up were basically the same as the one in the study.

"It's the fourth floor." Zhan Zhao said.
