looking for sister

This thing is not uncommon, you see it every day.

"What do you mean, Xiangwu left these mulberry paper scraps?" Lin Jian unfolded all three balls, and compared them with the paper on the desk repeatedly.Although the facts are right in front of my eyes, I feel a little headless.

"There are many uses for paper. It can be used for writing and rubbing. But the most common thing is to write." Su Mu also looked at the small paper balls, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Didn't we talk about that at that time, Where did Xiangwu read the word horse? Maybe it’s not so strange, it’s just on paper.”

"On paper?" Lin Jian shook her head suddenly, "It's true to say so, but the words on paper are too general. And it's something she left behind desperately, and it must be related to the case."

"Xiangwu never reads, right?" Su Mu asked again.

"Well, yes." Lin Jian nodded, hoping that Su Mu would come to some new conclusions.There was a mass of paste in his own head, and he couldn't think of anything in front of him.

Su Mu looked at him without speaking, and finally lowered his gaze, "If it's not a book, it may be a letter, a document, a lamp, and other things that haven't been thought of yet."

These are still too general, Lin Jian bit the flesh on her lips, and was about to remind, but Su Mu followed up and analyzed, "The words about lanterns are the most unlikely. Generally, there are no inscriptions on the lanterns in the mansion. Unless it is for festivals Or use it for blessings. She can't touch the documents, and my father and I haven't found anything..."

"Don't talk too much, let's look for it. It is reasonable to say that three such heavy scratches are not difficult to find." Lin Jian said that he was going to look, but thought of Su Mu's difficulty, or stopped "What did you mean just now, that the possibility of letters is the greatest?"

"It may be so, but it cannot be confirmed. At present, only by finding out where the paper scraps came from can the doubt be resolved."

Su Mu answered slowly, and sat up straight after putting away the evidence.Lin Jian withdrew her hand completely, "As for the document, you should read it yourself."

After saying this, Su Mu still stared at this side. Lin Jian couldn't bear it anymore, so he said, "This case has not been reported to the authorities, so some of the teachers came out of nowhere."

"The master is unknown?" Lin Jian was reminded like this, and only then did she realize that she was involved in a strange circle.Firstly, he was impatient when it came to Xiangwu, and secondly, during the period of time in the academy, he was used to being able to control most of the case with Su Mu.

"Except for this point, the key thing is that this incident happened in the mansion, which is different from the outside." Su Mu couldn't bear it after saying that, and quickly added, "I know what the accident in Xiangwu means to you, but always You can't think about anything."

Immediately afterwards, Lin Jian's eyes turned a little red, and Su Mu thought that he had spoken too seriously, so he hurried to hug someone, but he was also prepared to be pushed away.

However, the expected blow did not land on his shoulder, Su Mu looked down, and the man was already nestling in his arms obediently like a kitten, "If it was before, I might still have a lot of resentment. But now, how can there be. First, I know you well, and I understand your hard work. In addition, I have been reminding myself all the time these days that you have experience in solving crimes, and what you put forward is already after careful consideration. And I have to calm down, so as not to be a waste of help, and Xiangwu can get snow as soon as possible."

"You don't have to work so hard, I understand." Su Mu leaned over to rub his chin, the pain in his eyes made him sink too.

After a long time, Lin Jian finally said a word, "Then let's discuss with our parents tomorrow so that we can investigate the case, okay?"

Su Mu responded with a kiss. He glanced outside, only to find that the night had fallen.

The next day, Lin Jian came out of the main courtyard, and before he had taken a few steps, he couldn't help pulling Su Mu's sleeve, "Do you think everyone was acting weird just now?"

"Why is it so strange?" Su Mu answered bravely.

"It's not surprising that my father and mother fully agreed to the case investigation. It is estimated that my mother came to visit that day, and it should have been discussed in advance. But I don't know if you noticed, when I spoke just now, they all looked at me."

"What have I been doing recently?" Lin Jian almost jumped in a hurry.He originally planned to go home first to see if there were any traces, so as to guess what Xiangwu wanted to say that night.But at the moment, it seems that the most important thing is to investigate the scene of the crime first and investigate the people in the mansion, and no mistakes can be made.

It's not that he was thinking too much, but... that strange atmosphere almost turned into reality, and Lin Jian could still feel the embarrassment all over his body when he came out and was blown by the wind.

Being looked at by such a pair of shining eyes, Su Mu had no choice but to lose. He knew that he couldn't hide it for too long, so he simply said it.

"The matter of being pregnant before is revealed now."

"Oh, it's nothing." Lin Jian waved his hand indifferently, but only halfway through the wave, he stopped abruptly, "When did it happen? Did I slip up? Or was it because I didn't have time to pull the cloth towel? That's why the clues were spotted. So what should we do now? Don't we let them rejoice in vain? And my identity has not been exposed, right?"

These words were so urgent and fast that Su Mu didn't know how to answer them for a while.Lin Jian didn't wait for him to answer, and comforted herself, "I didn't say anything about the pregnancy. I just vomited for a while that day, and they thought too much."

"Yes, we have never made any cover up." Su Mu also nodded solemnly.

Now, Lin Jian was amused.

However, this relaxation could only last for a short while, and soon, Lin Jian couldn't laugh anymore.Because the two of them had arrived at the scene of the crime.

All the servants of the Su residence lived in the backyard, and the residences of the servants and the girls were only separated by a wall.

Because of the winter, the courtyard was even more empty, except for the steps, there was only a row of low houses.

Xiangwu and Xiangling live together, with two wooden beds separated by a simple screen.

The rest are just some simple furnishings, and it doesn't look much different from other rooms, only smaller and a bit cramped.

However, Lin Jian just turned around and found a different place. He found a drop of blood at the door under the window.

Then squatting down and looking carefully, I found that it was not a drop, but four or five places, long and connected into a line.Some are round, some are thin and flat, and they are not regular.

Su Mu came over and explained to him, "This blood stain proves that the murder weapon was thrown out after being stained with blood. If it is held in the hand without moving, it cannot be thrown so long."

What could not be concealed under the widened eyes was the unspeakable despair. When Lin Jian thought of the scene, he trembled with anger, "Then can it be assumed that this blood is exactly what was left when Xiangwu's tongue was scratched?" She struggled desperately, and the murderer couldn't control it, so he threw the murder weapon away, leaving such bloodstains."

"Moreover, the cause of death was not blood loss but exhaustion. Maybe she was about to call for help at the time, but her tongue was inconvenient, her voice was vague and terrifying, and the murderer wanted to avoid alarming others, so he killed the killer painfully."
