When Chu Heng left Deng's house, it was already dark.

Before leaving, Wen Lanxin stuffed Chu Heng with a basket of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes she made, and through the lid, she could smell the refreshing scent.

"Lan Xin, your cooking skills are really good."

Chu Heng praised her earnestly. Compared with the royal chef in the palace, this skill is not far behind.

Wen Lanxin smiled shyly: "Si Niang, if you don't dislike me, come over tomorrow and I'll teach you how to make pastries, okay?"

Chu Heng has no interest in learning how to cook, but she is also bored at home, and there is only Wen Lanxin as a friend here, so she nodded: "Okay, you say hello to the house slave who guards the door, and I will come over tomorrow morning .”

The two agreed on a time before saying goodbye.

Because of the Honghu murder case, there were government officials patrolling the county town until the third watch, walking in the streets at night without fear.But for some reason, when Chu Heng walked home, she always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her from behind, with malicious intentions.

She stopped and turned her head, the night wind was blowing gently, behind her was only the long figure of the moonlight reflecting on the bluestone slab, the darkness was blurred and graceful.

Chu Heng frowned, and gently touched the belt with his right hand.

Hidden there was the soft golden silk sword that she had carried with her for many years.

It was extremely quiet all around, only the rustling of the leaves of the sycamore trees in the wind.

Maybe...she has become suspicious recently.

Chu Heng secretly thought that he was suspicious, put his hand on the basket containing osmanthus cake, turned around and returned to Lin's house safely.

She didn't sleep well that night.

I don't know what time it was, but I vaguely heard footsteps coming from outside, and someone was talking to the house slave who was watching the night.Chu Heng recognized Lin Boqin's voice, so he covered his head with the quilt and fell asleep again.

As soon as the sky turned pale, Ximu and Zhuobi woke her up: "Madam? Madam? You should get up."

Chu Heng opened his eyes in a daze, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What time is it?"

"At two o'clock in the morning, you have an appointment with Mrs. Deng's family today, and the time is almost up."

"Ah...why did I promise to get up early?" Chu Heng sat up and complained, tapping her forehead.

After dressing and washing, she went outside and ran into Lin Boqin.

Lin Boqin didn't seem to have slept well either, his eyes were slightly darkened, and he was very tired.

Chu Heng didn't want to talk to him at all, although she was not the real Li Siniang, but as a woman, she always felt uncomfortable hearing this.

"Yo, what kind of wind brought Master Lin here."

Lin Boqin was a little worried, this was his house, what kind of wind brought him here, in terms of talking nonsense with his eyes open, no one could compare to Li Siniang in front of him.

But who told him to do something wrong yesterday.

Lin Boqin coughed twice, and said, "I was outspoken yesterday, so don't be angry."

Chu Heng's anger came and went quickly, not to mention that Lin Boqin personally apologized to her.But she is very active in her mind, even if she is not angry, she still pretends to be angry.

She walked up to Lin Boqin step by step, and then suddenly made a face: "Anyway, I will never talk to you again in my life!"

After finishing speaking, she turned around and went to Wen Lanxin, walking like flying, leaving Lin Boqin standing alone at the door fluttered in the wind.

Lin Boqin looked at her brisk back and thought in a daze: Li Siniang is really three years older than him?This behavior is completely a messy little girl.

Chu Heng startled Lin Boqin, and he was very happy.

When she came to Deng's house, the doorkeeper hurriedly invited her in.However, when they came to Wen Lanxin's courtyard, the door was closed tightly.

Chu Heng couldn't help laughing, and asked the maid who led the way: "It's already high in the sun, and your wife is still sleeping?"

The servant girl replied with some embarrassment: "Mrs. woke up early in the morning, but she was very sleepy and told us not to disturb her. She is probably sleeping back in the cage right now."

Chu Heng has known Wen Lanxin for so long, and this is the first time she has seen her sleep in. When she sees Wen Lanxin later, she must play tricks on her.

Thinking of this, Chu Heng came to the door, rubbed his hands happily, pushed the door open, and shouted with a smile: "Lan Xin, it's time to get up, you—" Before the words finished, the smile Gradually froze at the mouth, his horrified eyes fell on the beam.

Seeing the situation in the room, the maid beside her covered her mouth and yelled in fright, her knees softened and she sat on the ground.

A pink twig plum cloak was hung on the beam, and Wen Lanxin's long-cold corpse was hung on it in a big and shocking way.The originally gentle and lovely woman now had a bruised face, protruding eyes, protruding tongue, and shed a lot of bloody saliva and nose. Chu Heng just glanced at it, but couldn't take it anymore, her eyes became hot and she shed tears.

She couldn't accept this fact. The woman who was still joking with her yesterday had hanged herself and changed beyond recognition.

Chu Heng's mind went blank, she suddenly turned around and ran towards the county office.

The yamen servant at the gate saw Chu Heng, and before he could speak, Chu Heng pushed him away.

The sun was very strong, and Chu Heng felt dizzy after being stimulated. She could hardly find a direction for a while, so she could only rush in instinctively, crying and shouting: "Lin Boqin! Lin Boqin!"

Lin Boqin was discussing the case of the flower picker with Fang Shuangping, the chief secretary, Yang Lahuyu and others, and almost everyone in the county government was there.Hearing his name being called out heartbreakingly from outside, Lin Boqin immediately stood up, opened the door and looked, but it was the person who made faces at him in the morning and said that he would ignore her for the rest of his life, just like a headless chicken.

"Li Siniang, you are..."

Before the words of reprimand could be spoken, Chu Heng tugged at his sleeve with tears in his eyes, crying, "Wen Lan's heart is broken! She hanged herself!"

"what?"

Fang Shuangping bumped out from the house, his face was pale, and the next second, he turned around and ran towards Deng's house.

Hu Yu was worried about Fang Shuangping, so he hurried to catch up.

Lin Boqin patted Li Siniang's shoulder stiffly, and asked, "Calm down first, what happened?"

Chu Heng raised her head, choked up the general story, she shook her head and still couldn't believe it: "...I don't know why Lan Xin hanged herself, she once said that life is beautiful, no matter what you encounter, you can't give up life How can a woman who can say such words not think about hanging herself? She must have been murdered! Lin Boqin, you are the parent officer of Qingyuan County, you must find the murderer!"

Lin Boqin naturally knew Wen Lanxin.

Fang Shuangping's cousin, who just married to Qingyuan County, is the only friend with Chu Heng.

Lin Boqin's face sank like water, and he said to Yang La, "Take Wu Zuo and go to Deng's house for an autopsy." Seeing the sobbing woman in front of him, he added, "Check carefully, don't miss any clues."

"Yes!"

After Yang La left, Chu Heng's tears finally subsided.

She can also be regarded as someone who has seen strong winds and waves. When she was seven years old, she saw the corpse of a eunuch who was soaked and white in the palace well...but after all, it was not someone she knew well.

Wen Lan felt different.

Wen Lanxin is her friend.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, Chu Heng liked her very much.Sometimes innocent, sometimes gentle and virtuous, able to cook good dishes and make delicious pastries... Sometimes Chu Heng would even think that since she is a man, she should marry a woman like Wen Lanxin as his wife.

After a while, Hu Yu, Yang La and others brought Wen Lanxin's body to the yamen.

Wu Zuo concluded that he hanged himself to death, and the time of his death was at Chenshi this morning.

Lin Boqin frowned in confusion: "Why did Wen Lanxin commit suicide?"

Fang Shuangping's eyes were already swollen from crying. With trembling hands, he presented the corpse, almost gnashing his silver teeth into pieces: "Because I was violated by thieves during my lifetime!"

Hearing this, Chu Heng was slightly taken aback.

"...It's that person."

"what?"

"It's the flower picker!"

Chu Heng burst into tears, and said, "On the way back to Lin's house last night, I always felt someone following me. I thought I was thinking too much. But I didn't expect..." She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, raised her head to look at Lin Boqin, "If I had been with Lan Xin last night, maybe she wouldn't have died?"

Lin Boqin had never seen her in such a sad state before, he lowered his tone and said, "The deal is done, there is no word 'maybe' in the world."

Fortunately, she did not accompany Wen Lanxin, otherwise...

Lin Boqin's heart tightened, and his eyes darkened: "From today on, you and I will stay in the county government office. The murder case is not solved, so don't go out alone."

When Chu Heng heard this, she couldn't believe her ears. She asked back, "Didn't you let me come to the county government to look for it? Don't let people think that you are lazy and lazy, and only want to have fun." Lin Boqin never thought that she was still in the mood at this time Satirizing him, sighing helplessly: "At this very moment, the matter is of great importance, so don't get angry with me."

Chu Heng opened his mouth, but he didn't argue with him after all.

Fang Shuangping knelt beside Wen Lanxin's body, weeping alone.

Under the scorching sun, he only felt cold all over, and wondered if he was still alive in the world.

"My lord...my cousin must have been insulted by the thieves, and she couldn't think of hanging herself to death." Fang Shuangping's tears flowed to his lips, he raised his head, and said in a hoarse voice, "We must arrest the flower picker and avenge my cousin!"

Lin Boqin supported Chu Heng with one hand, and Fang Shuangping up with the other: "We must do our best. Let the murderer go unpunished, and I don't know how many more people will be killed."

Chu Heng was basically certain that the murderer who raped and murdered many women must be the flower picker.

Suddenly, she had a bold idea.

Chu Heng grabbed Lin Boqin's arm and hurriedly said, "I have a way to catch the flower picker!"

Lin Boqin frowned and asked, "What way?"

"Since he is a flower picker, he must be greedy for beauty. I will walk back and forth deliberately in the middle of the night, and he will always take the bait..." Before Chu Heng finished speaking, Lin Boqin interrupted him sharply: "No!"

Chu Heng anxiously tugged on Lin Boqin's sleeve: "Why not?"

"If the flower picker is not fooled, wouldn't it be useless for you?"

"How do you know if you don't try? Don't you care about the safety of the people in Qingyuan County? I think this method is very good!"

Lin Boqin was furious, but he still maintained his self-cultivation: "Of course I want to take care of the safety of the people, and you are also the people. I will never let you put yourself in danger."

"But……"

"I will not agree to this."

Lin Boqin was rigid and old-fashioned, as long as he decided on something, ten cows would not be able to pull him back.

"Until the murderer is arrested and brought to justice, you stay in the county government, and you are not allowed to go anywhere." After saying this, Lin Boqin took people to Deng's house to check the scene, and ordered Chu Heng to guard him.

"Lin Boqin!" Chu Heng took two steps forward, only to be stopped by the left and right yamen servants, feeling very anxious.

Her eyes fell on Wen Lanxin's body covered with a white cloth, her expression was determined: no matter what, we must catch the flower picker and avenge Wen Lanxin!
