"How is it? Did the Jin family find any clues?"

Chi Tu nodded slightly, "The old head of Guan Yi Zhuang sent a message saying that there are some strange things about Jin Lai Fu's body, and he hopes that we can go over and take a look."

"Why is Jin Lai Fu in the charity cemetery?" Yu Linlang was quite surprised.

Isn't this the Jin family's great treasure? How could they bear to leave the body in the funeral home?

Chi Tu shrugged, "You don't know, Jin Lai Fu owed a debt, and now the other party came to the door, so Old Man Jin had no choice but to sell his house to pay off the debt."

Yu Linlang changed into official uniform, followed Chi Tu and jumped onto the carriage at the door, then bent down and lowered the curtain.

"Didn't his elder sister Jin Lai Di say that this brother is a very honest person and he doesn't do the eating, drinking, gambling, and other things that bad kids out there do?"

Chi Tu ordered the driver to go to the charity cemetery and shook his head, "Just listen to that weird family's words. In their eyes, Jin Lai Fu is a big treasure, everything about him is good and everything about him smells good."

Yu Linlang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She bit an apple and threw it to her. "How is Uncle Shi doing recently?"

"You are very diligent and hardworking. You go to court every day to handle cases, and you have almost finished all the cases. I didn't dare to ask you to work today, because I was afraid that you would not be in a good mood these days, so I didn't dare to hire you." Chi Tu winked at her, and the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Chitu took a bite of the apple and said, "How is it? I'm in a good mood today."

"Yeah, it's really good." Yu Linlang moved closer to her. "I met a few interesting kids on the way and gave them a snack. Seeing them unhappy made me happier."

The two looked at each other again and laughed out loud again.

"You are so mean." Chi Tu pushed her arm, "Let me tell you an interesting story. Last night, the residence of Minister of Revenue Liu Deng was robbed, and I came to report the case this morning."

"It is said that there was a burglary in the bedroom. Two jade bracelets, a pair of jade and pearl earrings, and... a bellyband are missing from the lady's makeup box."

Yu Linlang covered her mouth, "Then? What does that mean? There are many people in the Liu Mansion, and it might have been stolen by a dishonest servant."

Chi Tu finished eating the apple and shrugged, "He said that he had checked the servants in the mansion and found nothing."

"Recently, there have been many cases of stealing in the city. Brother Bao asked someone to investigate two days ago, and they said that someone from Kong Kong Men came to Beijing. I'm afraid they are related to this."

"That's not necessarily true. The Kong Kong Sect has always been known for robbing the rich and giving to the poor..."

"Yes, robbing the rich... Isn't Liu Deng extremely rich? As for helping the poor, I haven't heard of any beggars being helped in the past two days."

"So it's not them." Yu Linlang curled her lips and muttered to herself, "If they were really from Kong Kong Sect, how could they only steal a few pieces of jewelry from Madam Liu? That's too shabby."

The Kong Kong Gate is a place where thieves never leave empty-handed. If I don't empty the entire Liu Mansion for you, I'll be giving you face.

The first to suffer the brunt of the disaster would surely be the treasure house of Minister Liu's family. How could they target a few ordinary women's jewelry?

"Now that you put it that way, it does make some sense." Chi Tu nodded, propped up his chin and looked at her with a smile, "You know a lot about the Kong Kong Sect?"

Yu Linlang coughed lightly and said, "I know a little bit."

Chitu laughed, raised his hand to pick up the teapot and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, my fox knows a little bit about everything."

The carriage drove all the way to the gate of the charity cemetery, where the old village head had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing the two people coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed with a smile, "My lords, please follow me."

Yu Linlang and Chi Tu both put on hand protection masks and walked into the morgue.

The Cangshu had already been burning in the corner. "Old Zhuangtou, tell Lord Yuhu what's strange."

"Yes, yes, please look, my lords." The old village head led the two men to a wooden bed in the corner and pointed at Jin Lai Fu's body.

"This corpse has been here for two or three days, but I didn't pay much attention to it. It was only today that I accidentally glanced at it and discovered... Sirs, look at this corpse's chest."

"What's wrong with the chest? Wasn't it previously confirmed that it was pierced by a sharp blade... Huh? Why are there red spots on the chest? Did he die of poisoning?" Chi Tu looked at Yu Linlang in confusion.

"No." Yu Linlang shook her head and concluded, "It's not poisonous. He just died from a sharp blade piercing his chest. Your test is correct."

"Judging from the appearance of the body, it looks like frostbite."

"Frostbite?"

Yu Linlang suddenly looked at Chi Tu, "We searched the victim's yard before, but didn't find the murder weapon inside and outside, right?"

"Yes, there really isn't one." Chi Tu said, "In the past few days, the government sent many people to visit Xiliutou Street. They asked all the neighbors near the Jin family, but the results were not great."

"Have you ever asked who entered the Jin family around the evening of the day the incident occurred?"

"I asked the neighbors, and they were busy making dinner at the time. No one would pay attention to Jin Lai Fu for no reason." Chi Tu curled his lips, "The neighbors all said that Jin Lai Fu rarely goes out. Occasionally he would go out for a walk in the middle of the day, and then go back to sleep in the afternoon."

"Their eldest sister is called Jin Lai Di?"

"Yes." Chi Tu nodded, "Second sister Jin Zhaodi, third sister Jin Lingdi. On the day of the incident, lunch was delivered by Jin Zhaodi."

"I now suspect that the time of death may need to be re-estimated."

"During our initial examination, based on the victim's injuries, we inferred that the time of death was around dusk. But what if the murder weapon was something like an ice spike? If the wound was affected by freezing, the blood would coagulate differently than usual."

"The time of death may have to be pushed forward by about half an hour."

"Looking back now, the amount of blood at the scene was a little strange. When you examined it, almost the entire bed was stained with blood, especially under the blankets."

Chi Tu nodded repeatedly and frowned as he recalled.

"Considering the situation where the ice blade pierced his chest, the reason why the amount of bleeding seemed to be different from usual is probably the result of the ice blade melting and the blood and water mixing together."

"So there was no murder weapon at the scene."

Chi Tu slapped his thigh and suddenly realized, "I see. Now we..."

"The deceased was a homebody who didn't like to go out. Neighbors can also confirm that he rarely went out during the day. So where did he go to gamble?"

Chi Tu was stunned and pounded his fist, "I'll get someone to check it out right away."

"If he goes out to gamble all night, it's understandable that the neighbors don't know about it." In this day and age, ordinary people go to bed early and believe in working from sunrise to sunset.

The key is that there is no entertainment, and people usually go to bed at 10:00 p.m., which is 7:00 p.m. in modern times...

Therefore, after more than ten years, Yu Linlang still couldn't get used to the schedule of the underworld. She usually went to bed at 11 o'clock, which was considered early!

Eleven o'clock is the third watch for the people of Daqi. If you don't sleep at the third watch, what can you do? Usually, only the trespassers and bad elements will not sleep at the third watch...

Those who are still awake at four or five o'clock in the morning are called divine gold, because people get up at five o'clock to work... (End of this chapter)
