She is a slave, who cares about her life and death? Even though Madam Sun is very kind, she is still just a slave.
Who would have thought that this lord would be able to see through her illness for so many years and say that it could be cured? This made Ruo Hua happy, but the more excited emotion was that there were still people in the world who understood her hidden illness and cared for her.
"Ruohua, do you really have these symptoms? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Madam, Ruo Hua deserves to die. I didn't intentionally conceal it from Madam, but I don't want to leave Madam's side."
As Ruo Hua spoke, she was already kneeling on the ground. Madam Sun immediately told her to get up and then take Qin An's medicinal food.
A few minutes after drinking a bowl of soup, the cold sweat on Ruo Hua's forehead turned into sweat. The pain in her abdomen also eased, and her complexion became much better.
Mrs. Sun hurriedly asked her about her condition. Ruo Hua answered one by one. Mrs. Sun also let out a long breath. She really didn't expect Qin An to be a doctor besides being a chef.
After this small matter, the waitresses who had some opinions about Qin An had all turned their backs. Who would really care about their lives? No matter how vulgar this lord was, it was very kind of him to notice the pain of a waitress and come up with a solution to it.
As a result, the waitresses chatted even more warmly with Qin An, because Madam Sun did not say anything to stop it, and in the end, it was actually lively.
So Mrs. Sun knew a lot.
Apart from the weak flowers,
Ruoxiang was once underestimated by a general under Liu Bei.
Ruozi's parents had already passed away. She had brought news from her hometown years ago, but she could not return to her hometown to see them. She had always felt guilty.
All of Ruo Lan's private property money had been lost last month, and she was now penniless.
Ruo Hui almost died from Feng Han and had just recovered three months ago.
Ruoxi hated cooking the most, but she was still a cook.
Ruo An had married once before, but her husband died on the first day she entered the sect. Her mother-in-law kicked her out of the house, and her mother refused to take her. Only then did she drift into her own mansion.
Ruo Si hurt her leg in order to practice, and every rainy day, her leg would hurt unbearably.
Ruo Hong was originally only fourteen years old, although she had already grown to look like a big woman.
Ruo Fang actually had a twin sister, but she was separated many years ago.
Ruoran's name was Guan Ruxi. She was actually a distant relative of Guan Yu. She had seen Guan Yu when she was very young, but Guan Yu did not recognize her because she had followed her parents to Jiangdong.
Ruo Ting's elder brother used to be a soldier in the Lombardi Army, but he was killed by Zhang Fei. A weak woman like her never thought of revenge, but every time she thought about it, she would cry sadly.
When Ruo Chan patrolled last night, she seemed to have seen a black shadow pass through the village. After searching for a long time, she did not find anything. She felt that her eyes must have gone blurry.
Madam Sun was truly shocked. She did not expect her maids to have so many worries, but normally, they would bow respectfully in front of her without her noticing. Why is this? Why were they willing to tell Qin An just because they met him?
Of course, Mrs. Sun could not know the word affinity, and Qin An's affinity was very strong. In addition, he knew a lot and gave the waitresses some wine. Naturally, they all spoke their minds.
At this moment, the outside of the courtyard suddenly became chaotic.
The waitresses were chatting warmly with Qin An when they heard that someone was crying outside and immediately left the table reluctantly. Then, two of them went out to check. He returned to report in a short while.
"It's the wife of the Village Chief, and his two sons and daughter-in-law are all dead!"
What?
Qin An, Tang Yu, and Sun Xiaomei were all shocked.
The Village Chief was also Jia Sixian. That person looked so kind, but why did his family die?
Qin An frowned. Thinking that this was a big deal, he immediately got up and left, followed by Tang Yu.
Sun Xiaomei was wondering what kind of person Qin An was. At this moment, she could only forget about it and bring a group of waitresses with red faces and greasy lips to follow.
...
Jia Sixian's home was only a dozen meters away from the east and west guest courtyards. There was a very large courtyard with six houses.
Jia Sixian woke up in the morning and went to the mountain with a few villagers to collect firewood. He came back at noon just in time for Qin An, Tang Yu and Frost Moon to enter the village, so he welcomed them in. He missed lunch time and did not go home.
Jia Sixian wasn't very hungry either. The juniors in the village were going hunting. They said that traces of tigers had been found in the mountains. Jia Sixian was afraid that the juniors would be in danger, so he brought them into the forest to search. He returned at dusk.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw that the entire family was dead.
Jia Sixian's wife, Li shi, looked like she was only in her early fifties. She was half-old and charming, but she had already fallen at the entrance of the greenhouse and was slashed to death with an axe from the front of her face.
There was a bathtub in the greenhouse. The village chief's daughter-in-law was completely naked without any obvious wounds on her body. She fell to the side of the bathtub and died. It looked like she was drowned by the water in the bathtub.
The two sons of the Village Chief were thirty and twenty years old. They died in the same room. There was a chessboard on the table of the room. It seemed that they were playing chess earlier. There were no obvious wounds on their bodies either. It was impossible to see how they died.
As soon as Jia Sixian entered the courtyard, he shouted loudly, attracting almost everyone in the village, including Qin An and the others.
Because it was the first time they arrived at the scene, the scene was preserved intact.
The old man was already kneeling in the courtyard, about to faint from crying, crying out who was the murderer and actually had the heart to kill his entire family.
Mrs. Sun only felt that the scene in front of her was too desolate. She looked at the surrounding people and finally looked at Qin An.
The villagers were simple and unsophisticated. She suspected that the murderer might be this outsider. After all, they looked too strange.
Qin An's gaze casually swept across the courtyard, and then he walked into the crowd with a breath of air, pulling out a brat and throwing him beside Jia Sixian.
"Old man, I'm sorry. This brat is the murderer of your entire family. You can kill him to avenge your family."
Ah?
Sun Xiaomei was stunned. How could he catch the murderer in an instant? Did he see it?
Tang Yu also had some doubts. She knew Qin An's special ability, so she frowned and asked, "Did you see him commit murder?"
Qin An glanced at Tang Yu with disdain and said indifferently,
"If I had seen it, this tragedy would not have happened. Besides, the suspect should have been killed before we arrived. I analyzed it."
"Haha... from the analysis? As a person who has just entered the village for less than half a day, he just casually glanced at the scene and his brother-in-law found the murderer?"
Sun Xiaomei was about to laugh angrily. She thought that Qin An might be mentally abnormal and had insanity, right?
At this time, she actually smelled a little jealous. Her maidservant seemed to instantly get closer to Qin An and spoke more than she did. How could she bear it?
The villagers were dazed. They had moved here for several years and had always been in harmony. Thieves had never happened before, but now there was a murder case. Furthermore, there were four members of the village chief's family. This was truly terrifying. Yet, this outsider suddenly stood out and casually pulled someone to be the murderer. This was even more frightening.
Jia Sixian, who was sitting on the ground crying, raised his head to look at the young man beside him. He shook his head in tears and said to Qin An,
"Sir, how could this be done by Equation? He was my disciple when I was a blacksmith. He was honest and filial. Furthermore, he was with me all day today. It's impossible for him to kill my family."
At this time, Qin An had already entered the room of the deceased and looked around. Finally, he returned to the courtyard and said to everyone,
"Define a word for you. After death, the body will gradually stiffen. I call this process corpse stiffness. According to my experience, a dead person's body will reach complete stiffness after six hours of death. That is to say, the corpse will stiffen completely. "Since it's dusk, these four people should have died early in the morning. Jia Sixian, have you been with your disciple called Dao Fang since early in the morning?"
"That's right! He went out at sunrise. He went to the Fang Clan to find him and went up the mountain."
The sunrise should be between five and seven o'clock.
Qin An frowned slightly. After examining the corpses, he felt that their time of death should be around this time. Could it be that Jia Sixian's wife and children died just as he left the house? If that's the case, does the equation really seem to have no time to commit a crime? Could it be that his conjecture is wrong, or...
"Didn't you stay at home last night?"
"I... Ah, my wife's temper isn't too good. I was very angry after quarreling with her yesterday, so I really didn't live at home. How did Sir know?"
Qin An smiled coldly. He looked at Equation, who was kneeling on the ground and lowered his head without saying anything, and said,
"That's right, since you don't live at home, then this disciple of yours has enough time to commit a crime!"
The mountain people didn't react until then. This foreigner actually said that the equation was the murderer? How is this possible? This child is only twenty years old this year. He is very honest and safe. However, because he has no parents, no one wants to arrange a marriage. All the girls of the right age in the village are married. It would be more troublesome to find a partner to go to another place. It shouldn't be him no matter what.
Sun Xiaomei couldn't help but tug at Tang Yu's skirt and whisper,
"Little sister, brother-in-law is not only a cook, but also a doctor. Could he be a constable?"
"Haha, he is omnipotent."
Tang Yu narrowed her eyes. Actually, she was also very interested at this time.
She was a smart woman, but she did not see why the equation was the murderer, so she waited for the result.
Qin An walked to the room where Jia Sixian's two sons had died. Everyone immediately followed him and surrounded him, including Jia Sixian and Fang Ding.
"Then let's talk about this case. These two died from poisoning. The crime tools were the two cups of tea beside them."
"Brother-in-law, how did you know they were poisoned?"
Sun Xiaomei had just asked Tang Yu that she did not get the answer she wanted. She knew that Tang Yu was unreliable, so she decided to directly ask Qin An.
"According to the Records of Purification, the corpse of a poisoned person has many open eyes, dark purple or cyan complexion, dark purple lips, dark fingernails, and blood flowing out of his mouth, eyes, ears, and nose. "Although there is no obvious school record on this man's face, and only a faint bloodstain can be seen on his nose and mouth, I am certain that someone poisoned them to death and then used something to wipe off the blood from their nose and mouth. However, there are still some traces that can let us see that his facial features must have been bleeding."
Sun Xiaomei looked up and saw that everything was exactly as Qin An had said.
"I wonder what kind of book is this Record of Purification? It actually records such a thing?"
"Eh... A little book that was passed down in my hometown, it's not spread, so it's normal for little sister to not know."
"Little sister?"
"No, no, it's sister!"
Qin An wiped the sweat off his forehead. Historically, he was called Sun Shangxiang and Sun Xiaomei, while the one in front of him was Madam Sun. It seemed that he had to be careful.
After walking a few steps in the room, Qin An continued, "So the murderer needs something to wipe off the blood. Since we didn't find anything to wipe off the blood at the scene, he should have been taken away. I accidentally discovered that there was blood on the cuff of Equation just now. Then Equation, can you explain it?"
The equation had always looked very quiet. Hearing Qin An's question, he hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, you suspect me because of this?" "Then let me tell you, everyone is still a little scared when we went up the mountain to look for the tiger this afternoon. The Second Aunt's boy thought that there was a tiger because of the grass. He almost fell off the cliff when he escaped. I saved him. Both of our bodies were injured and we both bled. The blood on my body was from that time. Everyone can prove it for me!"
A few youths waited for the equation to finish before coming out to testify. The Second Aunt's family also came out to show their wounds.
Sun Xiaomei shook her head. Sure enough, it was a black dragon. This kid came out after reading a few rare books. Let's see how he ended up this time.
Qin An was naturally very calm. He waited for the group of mountain people to finish their tangling before saying,
"Looks like the blood on the equation can't be used as evidence, I can only be suspicious, Then continue with the analysis, Two young men were poisoned to death in the room, The old woman was hacked to death with an axe from the front, Her daughter-in-law was drowned in a greenhouse in a bathtub, The way the four of them died was not strange, but the order of their deaths needed to be determined. Even if it was a murder at sunrise, it was impossible for them to remain silent at all. The murderer was someone that was very familiar with our clan. Even if he appeared at home, he would not arouse any vigilance. Then, in the village, who had such a close relationship with the Jia Sixian clan? "
The villagers all looked at each other. The people in the village were actually familiar with each other, but if they could enter Jia Sixian's house at five or six o'clock in the morning, then only his disciple equation was there. After all, he was half of Jia Sixian's, but this was not enough to prove that the other party's equation was the murderer.
"This is a place that has never been set up. The corpse of the deceased is located at the place of death. There are no signs of being moved. The two madams died miserably. The old madam was killed by the murderer with an axe from her face. Blood was flowing everywhere. Then what I really want to say is this. The scene of the murder was never deliberately arranged. Then why did the murderer wipe the blood off the faces of the two male victims? Isn't this an unnecessary move? "
Mrs. Sun had been listening carefully all this time, and she felt that she was getting more and more confused. The things her brother-in-law said sounded very mysterious, making people feel that it was very suspicious. But thinking about it, there was actually nothing. Why was that?
Qin An walked to Tang Yu's side and smiled at her.
There was already a trace of disdain on Tang Yu's face.
"Hmph, I thought you were really a divine detective."
"Hehe, it's just a little trick to avoid taking a detour."
"Alright, I'll go back to eat … Big sister, are you still interested in watching?"
Mrs. Sun naturally wanted to continue reading. She was still curious.
"Sister, why don't you look?"
"Because your brother-in-law did something big, or he did it on purpose. The equation isn't the murderer, the old man over there is!"
Tang Yu's voice was Hong Liang, and she raised her finger to a corner of the crowd. There was a short man who looked fifty-six or seventy-seven years old standing there.
With Tang Yu pointing at him like this, everyone went to see him.
The old man was a little frightened and hurriedly waved his hand, "Look what I'm doing. It's not me. How could I kill my brother's family?"
So this person's name was Jia Siliang, and he was Jia Sixian's cousin.
Everyone was even more surprised. They didn't know what this outsider couple was doing. Previously, they said that Equation was the murderer, but now, they suspected that Jia Siliang was a murderer. Isn't there no basis for nonsense?
Mrs. Sun's expression became gloomy.
He only felt that he had been tricked. This Qin An, who shook his head like that just now, seemed to have understood everything, but now, how could it be fake?
Qin An was naturally not a spy. There was too much evidence of Liu Xia at the crucial scene. He could easily get some footprints and fingerprints to screen. As long as the murderer was still in the village, he would be able to find it. However, the problem was that the villagers definitely did not know what fingerprints were, and the collection of footprints also required some criminal investigation methods, which was more troublesome. Apart from that, they could also dissect the corpses, for example, to see if the two female deceased had any contact with human body fluids before they died. However, this kind of research was too exciting, and no one would be able to accept it.
Therefore, Qin An used the simplest and most brutal method to pull someone out to act.
The village was really small. Even if Qin An's super hearing had been weakened, he could still control everyone's movements.
If the murderer was at home alone, he would definitely reveal himself.
If the murderer was surrounded by spectators nearby, if he pulled out another murderer who was not him, and analyzed the case seemingly indifferently, the real murderer's performance would definitely be different.
Ordinary people might not be able to discover the intentionally hidden emotions of the real murderer, but Qin An's gaze was like lightning, and no traces of it would escape his eyes.
After listening to Qin An's nonsense, a smart woman like Tang Yu probably understood his true intentions and immediately felt bored. Thus, after carefully observing Jia Siliang's behavior, Tang Yu was 90% certain that he must be the murderer.
"Do you have any evidence?"
Mrs. Sun was still asking stupidly.
Ah, Qin An shook his head. This is the ancient Three Kingdoms. Why do we need so much evidence? Looking at Madam Sun, he smiled and said, "As long as we find the right person, then it's fine to force a confession. Why do we need evidence? Isn't it better for the real murderer to tell us about the case himself?"
