The Memorabilia of the Detective Case of the Female Doctor Who Traveled Through Time

Chapter 16

Xiao Chengfeng simply grabbed Xiao Liu'er's shoulder, surprised and suspicious: "Liu'er, is it true that you have seen this kind of tattoo on the master?"

"Really," Xiao Liu'er nodded ignorantly, not understanding why the young master had such a big reaction, "That time when I went to deliver something, the master had just finished taking a shower and saw it by accident..."

"What a careless one!" Xiao Chengfeng patted Xiao Liu'er's shoulder approvingly, "Send someone to invite Master Liu to the study, and say that the young master has something to discuss with him."

"Oh." Although Xiao Liu'er was not sure what the young master wanted to do, he still obeyed the order to find the master.

Gu Ruo thought about it for a while and then figured out the relationship between them. First, there were inexplicably more corpses outside the door, and then he secretly dug up the corpse of the previous county magistrate, but the yamen master had the same nameless corpse with the same tattoo. There are articles.

Xiao Chengfeng brushed his clothes and sat down, Taohua's eyes were full of undisguised joy: "God helped me, I thought it would take a lot of work, but I didn't expect to find the key clue so easily."

Du Youning lowered his eyes and said nothing, always feeling that things would not go well.

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden loud noise outside, Xiao Chengfeng was in a bad mood, and just as he stood up, he heard Xiao Liuer yelling and running in: "It's not good, it's not good..." Because Furious and unable to hold back, Xiao Liu'er jumped into Xiao Chengfeng's arms, and said with a mournful face, "Master, something happened to him!"

"What?" Xiao Chengfeng asked anxiously, regardless of other things, "Where is the other person?"

Xiao Liuer panted heavily, "In the backyard..."

Du Youning strode over, Xiao Chengfeng followed closely behind, Gu Ruo teased Xiao Liu'er who was about to go out, and asked aloud, "Master, what's wrong with him?"

Xiao Liu'er was very terrified, and said as he walked, "I was wiped on my neck, and there was blood all over my body." Gu Ruo didn't say another word, and ran over with him.

Most of the snow in the backyard has been cleared, and the soil is wet and a little muddy.Master Liu was lying on the ground twitching uncontrollably, blood gushing out from his neck, gurgling like a red stream.He stared at his eyes in despair, and stretched out his hands to cover his neck in desperation. The pain and fear ruthlessly gnawed at his heart, making him restless.

The yamen servants and porters were in a mess, some shouted to invite a doctor, and some wanted to help Mr. Liu but didn't know how to do it.After Du Youning rushed over, what he saw was such a scene.He pushed aside the people standing in front of him and stretched out his hand to support Master Liu, only to realize that the wound had turned outwards, and the murderer had killed him.

Xiao Chengfeng ran forward, shouted for the doctor, pulled Master Liu's clothes and said anxiously: "Master, hold on, the doctor will be here soon."

With difficulty, Master Liu turned his eyes to look at Xiao Chengfeng, grabbed his lapel with one hand, and said with difficulty: "Account book... book..."

Xiao Chengfeng was confused when he heard it, and said straightly, "What account book?"

Du Youning saw that Master Liu's breath was getting weaker and weaker, so he hurriedly asked, "Who hurt you?"

Master Liu moved his mouth, but he couldn't utter a word, and his hands suddenly dropped.Xiao Chengfeng was very impatient, and shouted at the yamen servant: "Why hasn't the doctor come over yet?"

"No need," Gu Ruo looked at Master Liu's pupils that were already dilated and out of focus, sighed slightly, and said a little unbearably, "He has already gone."

Xiao Chengfeng clenched his fists, looked at the dying Master Liu, and closed his eyes for him. A sense of powerlessness rose from the bottom of his heart, and turned into anger in a blink of an eye.

Du Youning withdrew his hand and stood up, looked at everyone coldly, with a cold expression: "Did anyone see the murderer?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads.

Du Youning said again: "Who was the first to find out that Master is here?"

The porter stood up hesitantly, and said in a trembling voice, "It's a small one."

"Tell me, what happened at that time?"

The concierge nodded, bowed his waist and said: "The little one was shoveling snow in the yard, and went back to the house to drink some water when he felt thirsty. When he came out again, he saw the master lying here, covered in blood. The little one was so frightened Calling people over, it happened that brother Liu'er came to look for the master, and after that, brother Liu'er ran to find the lord..."

"Have you ever seen someone suspicious?"

The concierge shook his head and recalled carefully: "When the young one saw Master, he was already injured and there was no one else around."

Xiao Chengfeng sneered and said, "Could it be that the master wiped his neck here? There are so many eyes in the yamen that he didn't even see the suspect. Could it be that the murderer is invisible?"

Xiao Chengfeng had always had a pleasant face, no one had ever seen him so stern, and he lowered his head, not daring to take a breath.Seeing this, Xiao Chengfeng became even more depressed, and was about to walk away when he heard a yamen servant say cautiously: "Someone came to see Master today..."

"Who?"

"It's the old watchman that my lord met that day. He said he needed to find the master urgently. The master called him in when he got the letter..."

Xiao Chengfeng frowned slightly, and asked, "What about Mrs. Geng?"

The yamen servant suddenly broke into a cold sweat: "I only saw him come in, but I never saw him go out."

Xiao Chengfeng took a sharp breath and ordered: "Come here, arrest the watchman and bring him to justice immediately, and I will interrogate him in person! Take Master Liu's body to the morgue, and find Xu Yin for an autopsy!"

"It's my lord." The Yacha took orders and dispersed.It's just that when they found Jia Dalshan, he had already become a corpse. According to Xu Yinyan, he had been dead for at least three days.The real body has been dead for three days, so what everyone has seen these days, isn't it fake?
"Damn it!" Xiao Chengfeng slapped the table vigorously and stood up, only to feel a bad breath in his chest, and he couldn't calm down, "Boldly vomited and played tricks in front of our faces. It's really good. !" Although he knew that Master Liu might have committed a crime, after all, he had been with him for a long time, and seeing this person die in front of his eyes, Xiao Chengfeng didn't feel uncomfortable.

Du Youning's phoenix eyes were cold, and he frowned thinking of Master Liu's dying words: "People cannot be resurrected after death. The most urgent thing is to find the ledger that Master Liu said. As long as you follow this line, you will be able to find out who is behind the scenes." Those who have been brought to justice."

Xiao Chengfeng nodded again and again: "What my cousin said is very true. I think the reason why the murderer wants to kill people to silence him should be because he still has a reason in the master's hands."

But Du Youning said: "I'm afraid that it is County Magistrate Cao who really has the handle on that person. Although County Magistrate Cao has passed away, the account book has disappeared. The thief is afraid that this matter will be exposed, so naturally he wants to find the account book. I think Mr. Liu probably didn't get it." It was only when it was recorded in the account that it was silenced by the accomplices."

Xiao Chengfeng gritted his teeth and said, "No matter who the person behind the scenes is, I must find him out and never make him feel better!"

At this moment, Gu Ruo knocked on the door and walked in, with calm eyes, he said, "I saw Master Liu looking through something in the study earlier, and my intuition was weird at that time. Now that I think about it, he should be looking for something."

Du Youning and Xiao Chengfeng looked at each other, their eyes lit up—the ledger, the book...

I'm afraid that ledger is really hidden in the study!

Although he knew the general direction, but when he entered the study, Xiao Chengfeng suddenly felt that his head was two big - there are so many books in the study, who knows where the ledger will be hidden.

Xiao Chengfeng took out a few books and sighed helplessly: "There are so many books, the three of us have to find them."

Du Youning walked to another shelf, with no impatience in his eyes: "If the direction is right, you can always find it."

Gu Ruo didn't speak, quietly flipping through the book.Although she sorted it out, she arranged it according to the categories placed by the original owner. She usually reads medical books and folklore, and she has never seen anything like an account book.It’s definitely not the way to search through books like this. Think about it in another way. If it were you, where would you hide such important things?Thinking about it, Gu Ruo turned around and looked around, the neat study room, the same bookshelf, with books placed in different categories, where is it?
A strange feeling flashed across Gu Ruo's mind, Gu Ruo took a few steps back, inspected the bookshelves roughly, and then went to observe several other bookshelves, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said excitedly: "I may know where the ledger is! "The other two stopped and looked at her one after another.

Xiao Chengfeng strode forward, took her hand and said, "Ah Ruo, do you really know?" The intimacy was beyond words, and there was no defense between men and women at all.Du Youning frowned, only felt that the picture was a bit dazzling, and his heart moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Gu Ruo didn't notice this, so he just naturally pulled out his hand, pointed to the books on the bookshelf and said, "Have you two noticed the particularity of how the books are arranged?"

Xiao Chengfeng looked in the direction she pointed, only to see books full of books, so he was puzzled and said: "Isn't it just a display of books, I don't think there is anything special about it."

Du Youning said: "Magistrate Cao arranged books according to the type of books."

"Yes, it's not entirely true," Gu Ruo snapped his fingers, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Master Cao indeed put the books in different categories, but it's not that simple. Why don't you just read the titles of these books?"

Xiao Chengfeng went in without knowing it, but he still did it: ""The Analects", "Mencius", "University", "The Doctrine of the Mean"..."Shang Junshu", "Han Feizi", "Guan Yinzi", "Kang Cangzi" ..."Zhou Bi Suan Jing", "Nine Chapters of Suan Shu", "After reading more than 30 books in one go, Xiao Chengfeng stopped to catch his breath, "Ah Ruo, I don't see anything wrong."

Looking at the neatly arranged books, Du Youning suddenly felt strange, as if something was not coordinated.

Gu Ruo didn't hold back anymore, walked to the bookshelf, put his slender fingers on the spine of the book, tapped on the back of the book, and said slowly: "Although I don't know Mr. Cao, I know that he is very particular and orderly. You can even say, It’s too regular. These books are not only classified into categories, they are arranged word by word according to the title of the book. The titles of the books are arranged together, followed by the three words. The books are next to each other, looking orderly and overly neat. This is not an easy task, but County Magistrate Cao did it. I think it has a lot to do with his personality. He can't stand a little mess. Everything They are all step-by-step, and he pursues neatness and perfection almost harshly. Then why," Gu Ruo moved his fingers to a book in the middle, and pulled it out, "this "Biography of the Immortals" will be placed in the four-character book ?”
