The connected house behind the shop is divided into two courtyards, the east and west. The east courtyard is where Xiao Zhuolu's family of five lives, and the west courtyard is where the guys live. There is also a small courtyard in the middle, which is neatly arranged. There were dozens of large vats used for pickling pickles, all with the word "Mu" engraved on them. The vats were empty and seemed to be sent back to Mu's family.
"Dai Yi!" Shen Cha finished checking all the sauce jars and waved to Dai Yi, "Isn't it because you don't want to get married that you went to the border?"
"No, no, no!" Dai Yi denied repeatedly, waving his hand towards Shen Cha, "Beizhi and the sister of the Mu family have met several times, and they still have a good impression of each other. It's not like what the general said."
"Really?" Shen Cha glanced at him and smiled, "Is that girl the same age?"
"Three years younger than me, we meet once or twice every year during the Chinese New Year." Dai Yi scratched his hair. "We have chatted several times and feel that we are very compatible. However, she also showed a trace of worry."
"Worried? What are you worried about? Will you go astray?"
"Yes, she thinks it's outrageous for me to keep hanging around like this." Dai Yi admitted frankly, "That's why Beizhi began to consider whether to go to the border. Before leaving Xijing, Beizhi went to see Mu's sister. She …”
"How?" Song Qiyun and Bai Meng were particularly interested in Dai Yi's story and came over to look at him, "What did she say?"
"My decision is very right. A good man should make contributions to the country. He always hangs out on the street. Even if he fights injustices and sacrifices wealth, it is just a small fight and cannot reach the hall of elegance." Song Qiyun Looking a little embarrassed to stare at Bai Meng, Dai Yi rarely showed a shy smile. He scratched his chin, "So, she is very supportive of me going to the border, and she also said that she will definitely wait for me when I return home in fine clothes."
"Not bad, boy!" This time it was Bai Meng's turn to pat Dai Yi on the shoulder, and the pat was particularly strong, "This is a good girl, you must cherish it, and don't let her live up to her friendship!"
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, I will definitely do this even if you are in a humble position!"
"What's the matter, Commander-in-Chief? Are you envious that Xiao Daizi has a confidante?" Song Qiyun raised his eyebrows at Bai Meng and said maliciously, "Isn't Sister Huang good enough to me? Isn't she very considerate?"
"Your Highness, be careful with your words and deeds. I have never said anything like this." Bai Meng said seriously, "Her Royal Highness is my confidant and the most caring person. Your Highness should not sow discord casually. Otherwise..." He paused for a moment, "I will convey your Highness's words to Her Highness the Princess and see how Her Highness the Princess will treat you."
"Commander, if you do this, you are too rude." Song Qiyun let go of Dai Yi and grabbed Bai Meng's shoulders, "The grievances between the two of us are the grievances between the two of us. How can the emperor's sister be involved... …”
Seeing the two people starting a new round of bickering, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha shook their heads at the same time and asked Ying Fifteen to take them to see the newly discovered clues.
"My lord, boss, please come this way!"
Ying Shiwu led them to the wall. There was a ladder in the west corner. He asked Shen Cha to go up the ladder and take a look.
Shen Cha followed the instructions and climbed up the ladder. He stood at the top and looked at the wall carefully. His eyes finally fell on a shallow handprint that was almost invisible and would be ignored if you didn't have good eyesight.
"Handprints..." Shen Cha stood on the ladder, "It looks like they were left recently."
"It's a new one." Ying Fifteen held the ladder, "We didn't find this during the first inspection and thought that no one had really come into this yard. We didn't discover this until the second inspection."
"Dai Yi!" Shen Cha jumped down from the ladder, landed lightly on the ground, and asked Shen Haolin to go up and take a look, "Have you seen the guy who came to deliver the sauce jar before at Mu's house? Is he a familiar person?"
"No." Dai Yi replied firmly, "At least I didn't see him before I left Xijing. He should be a new guy."
"Does the Mu family hire new guys frequently?" After reading the handprints, Shen Haolin also jumped down and asked Bai Meng and Song Qiyun to go up and take a look, "Or are there relatively more old guys?"
"The Mu family doesn't often hire new workers. They only hire new workers when they are too busy, or when the old workers retire and return home. The people in the Mu family are very kind, and the workers' remuneration is relatively generous, so it is rare for workers to resign. ." Dai Yi thought about it and said, "In recent years, basically no new guys have been hired. So, when he said he was a guy from the Mu family, I thought it was quite strange."
"That's it!" Shen Cha raised his eyebrows slightly and exchanged a look with Shen Haolin, "After returning to Beijing this time, you haven't been to Mu's house yet, right?"
"Yes, I haven't had time to check it out yet."
"Go back to the camp now and tell Thirteen to pick some smart brothers and go to Mu's house with you." Shen Cha thought for a while and added, "Also, don't rush in and check around. , see if there is anything abnormal."
"Yes!" Dai Yi nodded solemnly, "I understand what the general means!"
"Go!"
Dai Yi saluted several people, turned and left.
"Have you already compared the fingerprints on the wall?" When Dai Yi left, Shen Cha turned to look at Ying Fifteen, "Doesn't it belong to these dead people?"
"We have already compared it, and it doesn't match the fingerprints of several deceased people." Ying Fifteen nodded, "We have sent people to compare the fingerprints with that young man's. If they match, it will prove that he is lying. .”
"It can be proven that he lied, it can be proven that he came in, but it cannot be proven that he is the murderer. If you want to prove this, you need more conclusive evidence." Shen Haolin took Shen Cha's hand and went to Xiao Zhuolu's house. Walking to the yard, "Besides this, what else did we find?"
"I found some small, white ash near the door of the main house. I looked carefully and found that it should be the incense made by Jin Guoxi. However, it was a style from a long time ago, at least ten years ago. Because of this If you don't plant the fragrance, you may be fascinated by it, so it has been abandoned for a long time. I didn't expect that it can still be seen in Xijing."
"Ten years ago?" Everyone exchanged a look, "It seems that our cleaning efforts are still not enough, and there are still fish that slip through the net!"
Everyone carefully surveyed the whole yard again, and found nothing special before leaving here and heading to the Criminal Department. The boy who delivered the sauce vat was placed by Bai Meng in a room specially provided for witnesses in the Criminal Department.
At the door of the Criminal Department, they met the shadow who had compared his fingerprints and was about to restore Shadow Fifteen.
"My lord, the great general!" Shadow saluted, "That fingerprint must be his."
"Let's go!" Shen Cha raised the corners of his lips, "Go in and talk to him to see what story this little guy is hiding!"
