Qiao Ran frowned slightly, and did not comment on this. She just called Tang Zhongyuan and asked someone to go to Nanji Shop to see if there was any stone slab that the couple said. Then she frowned and looked at the couple carefully. She had asked someone to check it before, but it didn't seem like they were good at martial arts. The two of them also confessed their origins. They used to be a snack shop in a foreign country, and there should be many people who can prove their identities. As long as they checked, they would definitely verify the authenticity of the couple's words.

As for "Xie Chengze" to let the two of them run away, it is not unreasonable. If these two people took advantage of the chaos, then Dali Temple would definitely turn the direction of the investigation to the couple, and even list them as the behind-the-scenes envoy.

If she is the mastermind behind this, the best way is to trick the couple out of the city and find a place, and God will solve these two people without knowing it. A mastermind behind the scenes who will never be found will naturally be the best scapegoat. Even saying these two people as masterminds is also a good explanation.

Everything seems to prove that "Xie Chengze" himself has very clever methods of judging cases, and even has found a scapegoat.

This is the first time she has encountered such a murderer who is "a match for the opponent".

However, at the moment, the two of them did not succeed. Qiao Ran looked at the couple carefully. Although it still needed to be verified afterwards, she felt that the two of them should not be lying. Because if they were truly powerful masterminds, they would not be unable to solve the official robbers of Tang Zhongyuan and the two Dali Temples.

If everything they said is true, then who is the one who calls himself the elder of Xiaohua?

Thinking of this, Qiao Ran spoke again: "What does the person you said look like? Is it a man or a woman?"

The man said, "That man said he was disfigured and always showed his face in a mask, so I don't know what he looked like. But he was a little short, so he probably was a man!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as this was said, the woman next to her hurriedly said, "No, I heard that she had a sharp throat when she coughed. She must be a woman."

Qiao Ran's eyebrows frowned again: "You two can't even hear this person's voice?"

The couple said with a bitter face: "He said he had been injured in an accidental throat, and his voice was weird and he couldn't tell."

I originally thought that I would be in a waste of luck after a great fortune, but I didn’t expect that I would take the blame for others. It was really... If I had known this, I wouldn’t have been greedy for him. It would be better than coming in to eat in prison!

Who knows that this little flower has provoked at such a young age, but has caused persecution from others?

Qiao Ran had long guessed the reason for Xiaohua's murder: because Hu Yuanzi and the abducted woman. In addition to Xiaohua's behavior of opening holes in the yard, who knows if Xiaohua knows something that shouldn't have known. If she is the mastermind behind the scenes, she also needs to find a way to solve Xiaohua to prevent future troubles.

In fact, if it weren't for the walnut crispy relationship, she might not have connected her current Nanji with the previous shop owner so quickly. If it were really what the couple said, the most likely thing that left the walnut crispy recipe in the store was that there seemed to be no one else except the parents of the abducted woman.

After all, the secret recipes for dim sum and the recipes are all non-existent. Who except the parents knows the recipe for walnut crisps? If they were left behind, it is a bit far-fetched to explain it with a bad memory, but it is not impossible. However, compared to this, she felt that the couple who had the accident seemed to have left a secret recipe on purpose. Because before the accident, the shop had already sold it, even if it was carved on the stone slab for fear of forgetting something, since the shop had bought it, it was not difficult to deal with the secret recipe, and there was no need to do such a good thing to give up the secret recipe.

Therefore, it is indeed time to go to Wanrengang.

...

In the middle of the night, the moonlight was dim and the lantern was shaking, but it was moving forward firmly.

Pingzhuang looked around and saw that the neatly erected stone tablets were really frightening in the middle of the night.

This is a cemetery, not an ordinary cemetery. It is called Wanrengang. Those who cannot afford to buy an official tomb will come here to be buried.

"What is this for?" he murmured in a low voice.

It’s okay to have the interrogation in the middle of the night. She ran to Wanrenkou, but her Master Zhang Tian was not here, so it was so scary.

Qiao Ran's hand holding the lantern was still moving, and she looked at the sealing coroner with the medical box on her back, and said lightly: "Of course it's an autopsy."

"Can't you wait until tomorrow?" Pingzhuang grabbed his hair and looked at the officials around him. His colleagues also looked like they were compulsory.

The only one who is not afraid of here is that she and the excited coroner are the only ones.

"What are you waiting for?" Sure enough, the coroner had already spoken. He had not touched a fresh corpse for several days. Now he finally had a job to do it, so he followed him without saying a word.

"We all received the salary of the court, don't be lazy!" Feng Corps said as he slowed down, "It seems to be here."

The girl holding a lantern nodded, walked to the stone tablet in front of her, and pulled out the weeds that blocked the stone tablet, revealing the sloppy name on the stone tablet.

"It's here." Qiao Ran said, carrying the lantern and then looking for the nearby stone tablet.

"What are you looking for?" Pingzhuang saw her searching look and said, "Do you want help?"

Although it was a bit cunning, it seemed that he wasn't so scared that he followed her no matter how cunning he was. This might be because this woman is different from ordinary people's "steadiness"! He thought to himself.

The girl shook her head and sighed. I don’t know if it was his illusion, but she always felt that the girl’s expression was a little subtle under the dim light.

"Dig!" she said, carrying the lantern to the side.

The official officer with the shovel had already surrounded him. Before digging, he didn't forget to mutter, "You need to handle the case, don't blame me in order to find out the truth." Then he started digging.

The girl's face was calm from beginning to end. She spread a piece of cloth beside her and sat down, watching them dig the pit behind her with a faint expression.

Zhen Shiyuan said it was right. The three people who caught fire in Baqiao Lane were not buried deep, but it took a long time to reveal the coffin that had begun to decay.

Not a good wood, even the coffin is starting to rot.

The dim light is a bit vesicular, and the wind blows, and the dry branches and leaves are whispering.

The coroner holding the medical box stared at the coffin for a moment, then turned to Qiao Ran and said, "Why would you better carry it back to Dali Temple! It's too dark here."

Qiao Ran thought about it and nodded. However, before leaving, she carried the lantern and illuminated the nearby stone tablet again, and finally followed everyone away from Wanrengang.

When he returned to Dali Temple, the coffin was carried directly to Fengjunzhu. Qiao Ran did not wait outside and went to the prison.

The sleeping little flower was screamed by Qiao Ran and looked at her sleepyly: "Mr. Qiao, what's wrong with you?" It disturbs people to sleep!

Qiao Ran said: "Ask Hu Yuanzi about it."

Xiaohua yawned and said little by little: "I've said everything I should say, there should be nothing else."

Qiao Ran asked her: "After Hu Yuanzi's love, he has never gone to worship him?"

Xiaohua was stunned, and after a while, she spread her hands at her and said, "Mr. Qiao, I don't even know that his appearance is so good, how could I know this?"

Qiao Ran closed her eyes and said, "He has been following the local customs and believed in the six realms of reincarnation in Buddhism. That set of sacrifices must be very particular. He should worship that woman around the Zhongyuan Festival every year."

Xiaohua looked at her blankly, thought about it for a while, but shook her head and said, "Mr. Qiao, I really didn't see anything special about him. I'd better go home as usual for a few days, and calculate that it's consistent with the cook's schedule. There's nothing strange about it."

The girl looked at her for a moment when she heard this, said, "You go to sleep" and walked out.

She should not take care of this kind of thing. Xiaohua yawned when she saw this and fell asleep again.

When I returned to the lobby, I saw Zhen Shiyuan wearing an official hat standing outside the hall with his arms folded and looking at her. When she saw her coming, she sighed and said with emotion: "I just took half a day off. Why did such a big thing happen in Dali Temple?"

In less than a day, something happened to the prisoner in the prison, and the boy Xie Chengze disappeared. The yamen officer searched for people everywhere in the city. In the middle of the night, he even went to the mass grave outside the city and brought back three bodies.

The Dali Temple Yamen is really rare and lively.

Qiao Ran smiled, stepped forward and shouted "Sir", and then said, "How much do you know?"

"It's similar to everyone." Zhen Shiyuan said, looking at her and signaling her to go to the office room to speak.

Qiao Ran responded, followed him into the house, took a sip of tea and warmed her body, and then said, "Hu Yuanzi's affairs are related to Tubo, I have already told His Majesty."

Zhen Shiyuan nodded, picked up the teacup without any haste and took a sip, and said, "What did Your Majesty say?"

Qiao Ran said the letter His Majesty had shown her, and then said, "You and I are indeed not bad. Some people really want to borrow Hu Yuanzi's incident as an excuse to tear up the covenant."

Zhen Shiyuan calmed down and suddenly had an inexplicable thought in his heart: So it was indeed the case she took over? It was not only bizarre, but also involved a lot of things. Now it is almost involved in major events between countries.

"I don't consider the matter of the covenant. I'm only responsible for investigating the case at the moment." Qiao Ran said, "When I returned to Dali Temple, someone told Xiaohua that something happened. It is very likely that Xie Chengze took action, and the matter has gone out of control since then."

So after half a day of leave, Zhen Shiyuan felt that things had developed so much that he could not afford to eat or live.

"Let's not talk about Xie Chengze for now. Xu Hexiu and the others are already looking for it. But the pair who was about to sneak away pretending to be uncle and aunt Xiaohua was caught." Qiao Ran said, "and then there was another mastermind behind the scenes."

Zhen Shiyuan calmed down while drinking tea: Tea is such a good thing, and it can also suppress her shock. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and actually caught the pair of uncles and aunts. Unfortunately, these two people didn't know much.

"So the walnut crispy combination became the key. I think the strange behavior of the couple who died of arson back then should be related to this."

Zhen Shiyuan glanced at her and said, "You can still figure out what is so messy. I felt ache when I heard it."

Qiao Ran chuckled twice: "So, things have gone around and turned back to the couple back then. What are their strange behaviors for?"

Zhen Shiyuan put the teacup on the table and whispered: "According to your inference, the couple seemed to have expected something might happen to them."

Qiao Ran nodded and said, "Yes, there is only this explanation. If this happens, we must find out why the two of them have such a premonition."

"So you took them to Wanren Post to check the coroner to see if they could find out what?" Zhen Shiyuan thought about it, but he was a little disagreeing with it. "It's not that I won't remind you that the coroner of the Chang'an Government Office had experienced the death of these three people and should have died of arson. There was no objection. Now, two or three years have passed, even if the coroner is powerful, how many can it be found?"

The corpse speaks correctly, but that is looking for the cause of death, and there is nothing suspicious about the cause of death of these three people. Take a step back and say, even if there is suspiciousness, what can I do if these three people died of homicide? Will a more detailed autopsy report be made? This will not help investigate the case!

Qiao Ran smiled and suddenly said, "I have just searched near the Ten Thousand People's Gate Stele for a while."

"What are you looking for?" Zhen Shiyuan said strangely.

Qiao Ran said: "One person."

Zhen Shiyuan looked up at her in surprise: "Who?"

The girl did not answer his question immediately, but said leisurely: "This case is very complicated because there are too many things and people involved, so it makes people feel dizzy at first glance. But have you noticed a problem?"

Zhen Shiyuan looked at her with a slightly concentric expression and waited for her to continue talking.

The girl smiled and continued, "Although this couple had been looking for their beloved daughter before the accident, their lives were not going well, no matter from which perspective, they were ordinary people. The weirdness of everything started when they found their beloved daughter who had been missing for many years."

Hearing this, Zhen Shiyuan couldn't help but say, "If this is the case, the trouble should be traced back to the murdered Yu Shihuan and others." These people are the culprits of the crime.

Qiao Ran said: "Yes, as for the testimony of Xue Huai for arson, it is very likely that Yu Shihuan and others will do it. Let's look at another thing. Hu Yuanzi, who was an insider, stayed in Da Chu just to live a stable life. The reason why he suddenly began to have the idea of ​​killing people or even destroying the relationship between Da Chu and Tubo was also because of one thing."

When the girl said this, her eyes looked faint: "The two things are all about men and women. The first thing is about Yu Shihuan and that woman, and the second thing is about Hu Yuanzi and that woman, so it is that woman that is the key to connecting the two things."

When Zhen Shiyuan heard this, he was silent for a moment and said, "This incident is not far-fetched to say, and the woman is dead."

"But I didn't find her body." Qiao Ran said, "She was not buried beside her parents. I have checked the records of the couple's registration in the Chang'an Government Office. They did not buy a cemetery during their lifetime, and they passed by the official deed."

Good official tombs near Chang'an are to be bought and registered. This price is indeed a bit expensive for ordinary people who can't even eat enough, but for the couple who have already bought a house in Baqiao Lane, it should not be affordable. Something happened to her beloved daughter who was finally found, but she was silent and couldn't even buy an official tomb?

Even if there is no official tomb, there is no trace of the woman even in Wanrengang. Could it be that the couple just found a place to bury their beloved daughter whom they had finally found? Although this possibility is not impossible, to be honest, this reason is too far-fetched.
