Chapter 970: The Sorrowful Woman.

Ye Xing kept rummaging in the backyard, and everyone was very puzzled when they saw this, but they didn't dare to come forward to disturb casually.

When Ye Xing was looking for it, the expression on his face kept changing, he was happy and worried, which made people even more puzzled, and after Hua Zhimeng saw that Ye Xing's face was so changeable, he finally couldn't bear it, and ran over and asked, "What are you looking for, you've been looking for so long." ”

At this time, Hua Zhimeng had an indescribable beauty, she looked at it for a while, her puzzled look was really unbearable, Ye Xing pulled Hua Zhimeng to a flower tree, and said with a smile: "Look here, there are a lot of footprints here." ”

Hua Zhimeng glanced at it, and really saw that there were a lot of footprints under the flower tree, but Hua Zhimeng was still puzzled and asked: "This is a place where people live, it's not strange to have footprints at all, do you suspect that these footprints were left by the murderer?" ”

Ye Xing didn't answer this question, just smiled faintly, and then pulled Ye Xing to the window, pointed to the ground not far from the window and said: "There are also many footprints here, I carefully identified them, there are about four or five people's footprints, of course, this place has once appeared in the inn shopkeeper, as well as the official in the palace, it is not strange that there are footprints, but what is strange is that there is a footprint here that is exactly the same as the footprints under the flower tree, and this footprint is the most dense under the window, I think it should be left by the murderer." ”

Hua Zhimeng seemed to understand a little, nodded, and said: "If this footprint is really the murderer's, then the murderer first hid under that flower tree, and then waited for the opportunity, until Song Yanfu opened the window, and then returned to the bedside Just about to lie down, the murderer suddenly ran from under the flower tree with a bow and arrow and shot that fatal arrow, right?" ”

After listening to Hua Zhimeng's speculation, Ye Xing nodded with a smile: "That's right, it's true, the footprints under the flower tree are dense and numerous, and it can be seen that a person has been hiding there for a long time, just to wait for the opportunity." ”

"But how did the murderer get in, why did he kill Song Yanfu, and in order to kill Song Yanfu, he didn't hesitate to wait for so long in such a late autumn night?"

Hua Zhimeng asked several questions that Ye Xing couldn't answer, but Ye Xing still answered.

"The murderer may be a guest in the inn, and it is extremely possible to come to the backyard quietly at night, of course, if a person has better skills, it is also possible to climb over the wall, so it doesn't matter how the murderer came in, the important thing is why the murderer killed Song Yanfu, about this, we need to investigate, and the most important thing to ask is Song Yanfu's wife."

Hearing Ye Xing say this, Hua Zhimeng smiled faintly: "How do you know that Song Yanfu has a wife, is it because he is older than you?" ”

Although it is a little unreliable to see whether a person has already married in terms of age, most of the time it is still very accurate, but Ye Xing will not rely on guessing, he looked at Hua Zhimeng and smiled faintly, and said: "Of course not, first of all, after I entered Song Yanfu's room, I found that there was a woman's fragrance, and Song Yanfu's bed had two pillows, and there was a woman's dresser on the east side of the room. So I know that Song Yanfu must have a wife. ”

When Ye Xing said, Hua Zhimeng couldn't help but look into the house through the window, and found that things were really as Ye Xing said, but she was still a little puzzled and asked: "Since Song Yanfu has a wife, why hasn't his wife come when he was killed, and Song Yanfu was killed at night, why is his wife not at home, and the woman doesn't return at night, it seems to be a very serious matter in this Ming Dynasty, right?" ”

Women don't go home at night, in the Ming Dynasty is naturally a very serious matter, there is no other entertainment at night in the Ming Dynasty, what can women do, the only thing that can be done is probably to steal men.

However, Song Yanfu's wife was not at home at night, and there were other explanations, such as being invited by a friend to be a companion, going to her mother's house or something, etc., so Ye Xing didn't want to speculate before figuring it out.

After such an investigation, Ye Xing called the official here and asked, "What is the name of Song Yanfu's wife, and where is she now?" ”

The official didn't have much doubt about Ye Xing's questioning, but when Ye Xing already knew that Song Yanfu had a wife, he hurriedly replied: "Song Yanfu's wife is called Sun Min, and she is also a young lady from a big family here. ”

After listening to the officer's words, Ye Xing continued to ask: "What about Sun Min now, her husband is dead, she should be here?" ”

The official scratched his head and said, "I don't know very well, probably I went to my mother's house, I heard that the relationship between Sun Min and his husband is not very good, and he goes to his mother's house twice in three days, and it's okay, my mother's family is rich, and it's nothing to go to see it often." ”

"Sun Min and Song Yanfu have a bad relationship, is there any evidence?" Ye Xing hurriedly asked.

The official shook his head: "This is not true, everyone only speculates from Sun Min's three days and two ends to his mother's house." ”

After listening to the words of the servant, Ye Xing smiled faintly, and speculated from this that the relationship between husband and wife was not good, I am afraid that it was not very reliable, Ye Xing nodded slightly, and said: "Then bother the eldest brother of the servant to find Sun Min back, I have a few questions I want to ask her, besides, her husband is dead, and the aftermath of this inn and Song Yanfu is still waiting for her to take care of it!" ”

The official naturally recognized the King of Daming, so after Ye Xing gave the order, he hurriedly obeyed the order to take someone to look for it, but at this time, a woman suddenly rushed in from outside, with a sad face, howling and shouting: "Husband, husband...... Why did you leave me alone......"

Seeing this situation, everyone knew that this woman was Sun Min, and when the woman was about to rush in to see Song Yanfu's body, she was stopped by two officials and said: "At the scene of the crime, no one was ordered not to enter. ”

When Sun Min heard this, he was anxious: "Why don't you let me in, it's my husband who died inside, and I'm his wife, can't I go in and see him, you hurry up and get out of the way for me, don't let me ...... I'll fight with you. ”

The two officials stood there motionless, as if they hadn't heard Sun Min's words at all, and at this time, Ye Xing said lightly: "Get out of the way and let her in." ”
