After Xiao Yi completed the inspection, it was already past noon when the two returned to the Criminal Department.
Considering that neither of them had the charm of Yun Pingshi, they decided to go to a roadside food stall to eat something to fill their stomachs.
An Ying ordered a portion of rice with syrup, Xiao Yi ordered a portion of cold rice, and ordered some fried tofu, spicy melon and vinegar ginger to add to the rice.
Xiao Yi asked: "Do you have three taels of silver from the eighth-grade Sizhi now?"
An Ying nodded: "Three taels of silver plus a pound of copper coins, and two buckets of food." An Ying calculated that if she eats every meal at the Ministry of Punishment and doesn't need to buy clothes, she can just wear two sets of uniforms, basically No money spent. Saving this way for a year is a considerable amount of money.
She originally planned to pay school fees for her younger brothers and sisters, or buy clothes and snacks. But her father didn't allow it and asked her to save it by herself, saying that it would be her own dowry in the future.
Xiao Yi ate a piece of tofu and sighed: "It's better that you civil servants have more monthly salary. By the way, I've been on a blind date recently."
An Ying ate a piece of tofu. It was fried with green onions and was very fragrant. It only cost a copper penny. "Why, your expression is not going well?"
"It's not that it didn't go well." Xiao Yi coyly said, "Hey, let me tell you, I am in love with Xiao Liu'er, the daughter of Liu Xiucai's family in Tianshui Alley. They took a liking to me at first sight."
"Then what do you mean by that expression?" An Ying drank a glass of water rice, which was refreshing and refreshing, and a good appetizer in summer.
"Aren't you curious how she fell in love with me at first sight?" Xiao Yi asked angrily as he saw An Ying eating and drinking calmly.
"Brother Xiao Yi, you are so young, promising and handsome, so you deserve to be chosen. Any girl who is not blind will fall in love with you." An Ying didn't even raise her head. She is good at flattery!
Xiao Yi blushed and nodded, "You have vision. Oh, but I am worried. What do you think I am worried about?"
An Ying finished the last few mouthfuls of rice, clapped his hands and said, "I'm worried about money. Otherwise, you would ask me about my monthly payment as soon as you sit down. You usually like to eat ice cream, but you just looked at it for a while but didn't buy anything." .”
The biggest problem for ordinary people when getting married is money. Boy, it’s the same everywhere.
Xiao Yi sighed, "Is it so obvious?"
An Ying nodded, "What? The other party wants a high gift?"
"The betrothal gift is fine. My mother has saved it for me. Xiao Liuer's family is not greedy. They asked for twenty taels of silver, which is cheaper than other places." Xiao Yi ate a piece of vinegar ginger and chewed it.
"Oh, that's the house?" An Ying didn't even raise his head.
Xiao Yi slapped the table and said, "Xiao An, I found that you are just like Mr. Su, a genius in pushing cases. How did you know that I was worried about the house?"
Boy, you are too young.
"Didn't I hear you say before that your parents were building a house? What's wrong?"
"Hey. My father has planned it for me a long time ago. Three large tile-roofed houses were built on the east side of my yard, which will be my new house when I get married. Xiao Liu'er is also satisfied. But, my sister-in-law made a fuss and insisted on my east side. There are three tile-roofed houses in the house, so the eldest brother should live in the east."
An Ying paused, looked at Xiao Yi and said, "What about your brother? What did your brother say?"
"Hey, my brother is in trouble too. When my sister-in-law starts acting up, no one can stop her."
It's nothing more than letting your wife go out to embarrass you, and you can choose the benefits yourself.
An Ying knocked on the bowl, "Hurry up and eat, your cold food is almost heating up."
Xiao Yi finished the meal with a grimace, "Then Liu Xiucai's family quit. They had seen these three tile-roofed houses when they were on a blind date, but now they don't want to live in them. They say my family is a liar."
An Ying thought for a moment and said, "I remember you said before that you paid part of the money for these three tile-roofed houses?"
"Hey, it's the monthly money I saved. It's twenty taels of silver, and my father also bought it. It costs a total of forty taels of silver to build the house. The land belongs to my family, so there's no need to buy it."
"What about your eldest brother's house?"
"My eldest brother got married early. At that time, the house in the west didn't need to be renovated. It was a ready-made house with clear water and tiles."
This chore is a mess.
An Ying looked at Xiao Yi who was worried and patted him on the shoulder, helpless.
Return to the Penal Department Yamen.
Xiao Yi cheered up and said: "Zhu Wuzuo has issued the inspection report. Wang Qingyan died last night. The cause of death was excessive blood loss and an obvious cut with a sharp weapon on his neck. I speculate that the murderer climbed over the pile of firewood on the wall and stabbed him in the courtyard. There The nearby footprints were obviously those of a man. Judging from Agent Yang's experience, the murderer should be about five feet four inches, and he should be a practicing practitioner. He killed him with one blow, so Wang Qingyan did not have time to struggle or resist. I I think we should focus on investigating the gangsters who have recently entered the capital. This kind of martial arts..."
Su Huangzhe pressed his temples. After looking at the files all afternoon, there were still messy materials. He was going to die.
If I hear this kid's report again, he may die earlier.
He pointed at An Ying and said, "Tell me something."
An Ying said: "Before I leave, I asked Detective Yang to keep people here. There is a problem in their family. When your Excellency gives the order, bring everyone to the Ministry of Justice for questioning." As soon as he entered the government office, he took the initiative to give up a lot of words.
Yun Pan glanced at her and said, "Hey, An Sizhi, I have been handling too many cases recently, and my demeanor has changed. I take people as soon as I come up."
Su Huangzhe signed the handwritten letter and threw it over, "Tell me what the problem is. Listen to your progress here and tell me about it to make me happy."
An Ying took the note and asked the policeman guarding the door to rush over and arrest the person.
Xiao Yi didn't know why and asked: "Who are we arresting? Is there something wrong with their group of female relatives? What's the problem? Are there any martial arts masters among them?"
"There was a death in your family and you asked the old woman with the weakest legs in the family to go two miles to report the crime?"
An Ying didn't even bother to raise her eyelids, "That Mrs. Wei almost lost her life. Is there a ready-made young girl at home that you can't use?"
Xiao Yi couldn't help but ask, "Why did she ask the old lady to report the crime? Is it to delay time? But everyone is dead?"
"Qin Manyun was the first to discover Wang Qingyan's body. She asked Hongyu to call a doctor. In fact, at that time she already knew that Wang Qingyan was too cold and there was no need for a doctor. She also sent Mrs. Wei to report the case. In order to leave some space for her and Huang Yu Separate space.”
"Did she and Huang Yu kill Wang Qingyan? It's impossible. These two weak women couldn't kill Wang Qingyan, right? Where are the footprints on the pyre?" Xiao Yi couldn't figure it out.
"I don't know who killed them now. But Qin Manyun immediately drove away the two of them, leaving only Huang Yu. He must have something to say to Huang Yu, or something to do. They stayed alone at the scene for a quarter of an hour. As for what to do. Wait for someone to catch him and ask him."
Su Huangzhe knocked on the table, "What should they be looking for in the study? In the study, I found that the paper in the blood stains has two forms. One is soaked in fresh blood and then solidified, the other is the paper that has fallen on the ground. On top of coagulated blood.”
Guo Xi nodded and said: "I also noticed that it should have been rummaged after the murder, and the other was rummaged after the blood was coagulated. Judging from the time, the latter should have been caused by Qin Manyun's discovery of the body."
