Seventh Master, Madam didn't go back to the mansion today.

Moonlight shone through the small window and fell on the stone walls of the prison.

Although the environment of the Zongren Mansion's prison is much better than that of ordinary prisons, it is a prison after all, with long-term humidity and darkness, and a lot of moss still grows on the stone walls.

Song Yitao looked at Xiao Qiye's back, felt depressed, and couldn't stop crying.

"Why are you so kind to me, no one has ever been so kind to me..."

Xiao Qiye sighed: "Because I am a man, a man must protect his own woman."

"Ah??" Song Yitao wiped away tears, and stared at Xiao Qiye with wide eyes.

Xiao Qiye immediately reacted: "Oh no...I mean, a man must protect the women around him."

"Oh." Song Yitao withdrew her doubts again, and sighed: "Little Seventh Master, you are really a man."

Hearing these words, Qi Yutao's chest stood up again.

When he was proud, he inadvertently glanced at the ground from the corner of his eyes, and suddenly saw something that gave people goosebumps quickly passing under his feet.

"Ah!!! Rats!!! Rats!!!" Qi Yutao quickly jumped onto the steps, trembling while hugging the iron pillar.

"Where is it! Where is it!!" Song Yitao lowered his head and searched everywhere, then raised his head to see Xiao Qiye's frightened expression, his expression froze all of a sudden, and he let out a speechless "tch", "No Is it just Jerry? Look, you were so frightened, I even praised you as a man just a second ago!!"

"I've been afraid of this thing since I was a child, how creepy this thing is!!" Xiao Qiye still hugged the pillar and refused to come down.

Seeing him like this, Song Yitao felt that he didn't want to wait too long, so he patted the back of Qi Yutao's hand: "I'm leaving!! You should stay here now!"

"Hey!! Don't go, don't you say you're coming to accompany me?!" Qi Yutao looked at her back and wanted to stop her.

"I still have to seize the time to investigate the case for you, let the mouse accompany you tonight." Song Yitao walked to the corner and waved to him.

Song Yitao went back to the palace and invited a few servants to stay up all night discussing together.

As she walked around the room, He Yu's eyelids were already on the verge of falling. He was about to fall into Yuan Can's arms, but was pushed away by Yuan Can in disgust, "Wake up! We are all trying to find a way, just you Doze off here!!”

He Yu yawned big: "Oh, Boss Song, you have been walking around here for several times without talking, and I fell asleep because of you!"

"Yes, yes." Song Yitao nodded and sat back at the round table energetically.

"Didn't you already have it?" He Yu responded.

"This matter is full of loopholes. Because the scene was too chaotic, I didn't have time to think about it. Chef Zhao and Mrs. Fifth were too loud, and they didn't give me a chance to refute." Song Yitao began to explain the whole story. .

"Look, this purse is the key clue. It is made of the fabric of Hongsheng Cloth. They said that only my room has it, so others don't have it? Or maybe it wasn't used by people in our palace? And this There is a piece of information in it that no one knows but I know—that is, after the fabric of my Hongsheng cloth line was improved by me, the coin mark was cancelled!! I didn’t have time to explain it at the time, so this purse is an improved cloth line Someone customized it before." Song Yitao pointed at the relationship diagram on the small blackboard with a small stick.

"Secondly, the reason why I was beaten to death in the end was that the fourth master said that I did not have a deed of sale to the palace. Since I came suddenly, the deed of sale had to register all the information of the servants. Handle the contract of sale for me. I have no grievances or enmities with the fourth master on weekdays, and I have never seen him face to face. Why did he suddenly jump out and insist that it was my fault? Could it be that he stole his dog just for me? "

"Third, the autopsy file is still being written, and the government has not yet come to a conclusion. The specific cause of death of the deceased has not yet been ascertained. Someone has found evidence in advance. Isn't it a little too impatient?"

"Look! It's the fifth lady who is calling for a thief!!" Yuan Can said angrily.

"You are right! The fifth lady is the most suspicious! He Yu, you go and urge the progress of the autopsy there. Yuan Can, you will follow me to Hongsheng Cloth Shop tomorrow to investigate the first two months before the cloth line was improved. All the transaction information and suspicious persons, Songluo and Lianqiao, you two will stay at home and look for opportunities to observe the next actions of Mrs. Fifth and Chef Zhao."

"Yes!"

Everyone took the task and dispersed.

Song Yitao herself was about to close the door and go to sleep.The moment the door was closed, he saw the entrance of the courtyard door, and the flickering candlelight in the room imprinted Song Yitao's shadow there, as if he had returned to the day when Xiao Qi stood at the door and looked at him with a smile.

Song Yitao looked at the empty place with firm eyes: "Little Qiye, I will definitely rescue you."

The concubine side was also on the roof all night, and turned straight in the room, not knowing what would happen to her son.Just after dawn, she called Master Wu to discuss it together.

"Yufeng, do you think Lao Qi will be okay!" Concubine Side spoke eagerly, and tears rolled in her eyes as she spoke.

"Mother Concubine, don't worry, I have already sent someone to investigate this matter carefully." Qi Yufeng was also very anxious, but on the surface he was still calm and calm.

"Although this child didn't grow up with me, I know his temperament best. He is honest and kind, he has no heart, and he will never do that kind of thing. He must be for that woman... ..”

"By the way, where's that woman??" Concubine Side raised her head to look at Fifth Master.

"She... She took a few servants out early in the morning."

"Damn Lao Qi like this, and still have the mind to go shopping!" Concubine Side stomped her feet angrily, and the bead string in her hair also made a clear sound due to shaking.

Song Yitao took Yuan Can to Hongsheng Buxing to check the accounts. Since he had helped their family before, the boss of the cloth shop was very cooperative, and he took out the trading accounts of the cloth shop within two months for analysis.

"There are countless customers who come and go every day. I can't think of anyone who has bought fabrics from me for a while. Besides, these small purses are all bought by customers and made by themselves." He was willing to cooperate with his dismay, but the number of customers was too large, and there were some details that he couldn't help.

"Then, don't you have any regular customers?" Song Yitao asked.

"Regular customers?? Apart from a few father-in-laws in the palace, these are scattered merchants. It depends on the specific accounts." The boss of Hongsheng Cloth tried hard to recall.

"Okay, help me find out who the old customers who bought fabrics from you two months ago are. It's best to have something to do with our palace."

"Uh..." The boss of Hongsheng Cloth's eyes lit up, and he was about to say something when he was interrupted by He Yu who hurried in from the door.

"Boss Song!! There is a new discovery in Wu Zuo! Do you want to go and have a look?" He Yu said panting, obviously running very fast.

"Go! Go and have a look. Boss, please help me think about this." Song Yitao hastily said goodbye to the boss, and followed He Yu to the office.

As a result, just after Song Yitao left, two strong men walked in aggressively.

"What are you doing??" The boss was startled.

"Our master wants to see you, come with us!" Before the boss could respond, two strong men picked up Boss Buxing and took him away.

Song Yitao and the others came to the morgue, and when they were at the door, a strong smell of corpses swept over them. They all held their noses and barely got used to it for a while before they walked in. Wu Zuo brought everyone in front of the corpse. Lifted off a small piece of white cloth from the hands of the corpse.

"Miss Song, please look, I found residual blood and sebum in the nails of this corpse. According to my investigation, this is not from this woman. It should be that she scratched the other party out of defensive struggle when she was murdered." of the skin."

"I think the blood is not shallow. The scratches on the murderer's body should be quite deep. In two months, there should still be some scars on his body. You only need to find out who has been scratched." Hu Wu made an analysis.

Song Yitao thought for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up, he turned around and ran back to the palace...
