The entire underground floor of Qingfeng Tea House is used as an ice cellar. It is divided into four parts. One part is used to make various ice drinks, and the other part is used to preserve meat and fish that are relatively easy to spoil. Occasionally, Some vegetables that are not afraid of freezing are stored in it. The remaining two parts are for spare use. Anyone in Wuma Town who needs ice can come to Qingfeng Tea House to get it without any conditions.

This time, the bodies of the Jin envoy were transported here. Fortunately, the two spare ice cellars were far away from the two used for making ice drinks and storing food, and were tightly separated in between, so there would be no impact. Otherwise, the teahouse owner's business will definitely not be very good in the future, unless he demolishes the teahouse and starts a new one.

Shen Cha asked Ying Liu to go to the Daxia Inn and call Jin Miaomiao over. As a direct disciple of Master Huilan, the poison doctor, Jin Miaomiao was also a master of autopsy. She could see things that others would not easily notice. Details. Shen Cha didn't quite believe the conclusions drawn from the previous autopsy conducted on Wu Ma Town. If the two old generals didn't lie, based on what they said, she suspected that Wanyan, Wen and the Jin envoy did not die in Liao at all. The stab wound on the neck was by no means fatal. Whether the body appeared in the Liao Kingdom or the so-called fatal stabbing, it was all a cover-up, with the purpose of concealing the real place and cause of death.

Thinking of this, Shen Cha waved to Ying Wu and whispered a few words in his ear. Ying Wu nodded and left in a hurry.

"Miaomiao is here, let's go down!" Jin Jing, who had been standing by the window, saw her sister carrying her small box to the door of Qingfeng Teahouse, turned to Shen Cha and the two old generals and said, "Sister-in-law. She has a bad temper, don't keep her waiting too long."

The three of them nodded, and Shen Cha asked the two old generals to leave first, while he and Jin Jing followed behind them.

"Where is the body?" Seeing several people coming down from the second floor of the teahouse, Jin Miaomiao rushed over, first greeted the two old generals Wanyan Zhanxiong and Yelu Zesheng, and then grabbed Jin Jing's arm. , asked, "Take me to see it quickly!"

"My sister, that's a corpse. You're not so excited, are you?" Jin Jing was so shaken that she felt like she was going to vomit, so she quickly stopped her, "Okay, okay, I'll take you there." Look!" He smiled sheepishly at the two old generals, "What a joke!"

"It doesn't matter!" Wanyan Zhanxiong waved his hand and said not to worry, "The ice cellar is cold, please wear more clothes to avoid getting cold!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Miaomiao turned around and put the thick cloak in Ying Liu's hand directly on Shen Cha's body.

"Okay!" Jin Miaomiao patted Shen Cha on the shoulder and looked at Wanyan Zhanxiong, "We can go."

Wanyan Zhanxiong nodded and asked everyone present to follow him downstairs. When he was halfway downstairs, a strong chill invaded everyone, and everyone couldn't help but shrink. Fortunately, all the people who had gone downstairs before Everyone listened to Wanyan Zhanxiong's advice and added an extra cloak or cloak, otherwise they would really get frozen.

"The body is over here!" Wanyan Zhanxiong led them to the fourth ice room, gently opened the door, and invited everyone in.

Jin Miaomiao entered the ice room and entered a state of selflessness. She started looking at the first corpse of Wanyan and Wen very seriously.

Shen Cha did not disturb Jin Miaomiao's work. Her focus was on the clothes of the corpses. Just like Yelu Zesheng said before, fifty people were all wearing white robes. She stretched out her hand to feel the thickness of the robes. , frowned, these clothes are too thin. Clothes of this thickness should be worn indoors, not outdoors. There is no need to wear them like this when walking around in such an extremely cold night. If someone else does it, you will freeze to death.

"This shouldn't be a robe, but... clothes worn at home, right?" Jin Jing also came over and touched it, "Our clothes at home are all a little thicker than this, right? Normal people wouldn't wear this. If you are wandering around outside, at least you need to add a robe on top of it. If you encounter someone as cold as the Marquis, you will need to add a thicker layer."

"I think so too. Walking around outside dressed like this is asking for death." Shen Cha nodded, "This is in line with our previous speculation. When they died, they should have been in the house, not in the house." outdoor."

"That's right!" Jin Jing tapped her palm gently with her fan, "And this possibility is very high."

Shen Cha observed the condition of the other corpses, but didn't find much. He turned around and said to Yelu Zesheng, "I'll leave this to Miaomiao. Please take me to meet Qiu Yi, the one who found the corpse."

Yelu Zesheng nodded and left the ice cellar with a few people. Before Chen Cha left, he left the thick cloak he was wearing to Jin Miaomiao and left quickly.

After coming out of Qingfeng Tea House, the sky outside had darkened. Soldiers from Xia, Liao, and Jin lit up hundreds of lanterns one after another. The whole Wuma Town was as bright as day. The group quickly passed through the public area and arrived at A place under the jurisdiction of the Liao Kingdom.

Yelu Zesheng had already sent someone to greet the soldiers who were on duty last night. They gathered in the hut where they were on duty that night. When they saw everyone coming in, everyone in the room stood up and saluted them respectfully. .

"Everyone, sit down!" Yelu Zesheng first asked Wanyan Zhanxiong, Shen Cha and Jin Jing to sit down, then ordered people to serve them hot milk tea, and then waved to the eight soldiers, "Qiu Yi, do you know Yes, tell General Shen what you saw."

"Yes!" A soldier who was relatively thin and not that tall stood up and saluted Shen Cha, "General Shen, I belong to Qiu Yi."

"Hello!" Shen Cha looked at him for a while and nodded towards him, "Please sit down and please explain in detail the process of discovering the deceased."

"Okay, General Shen!" Qiu Yi sat down again, straightened his back, looked at Shen Cha with two bright eyes, and said, "At five o'clock this morning, I woke up from a deep sleep and saw The brothers around me seemed to be still sleeping. I wanted to go out for a while, so in order not to wake up the brothers, I walked quietly to the door. When I opened the door, I saw dots of black and white stars not far away. s things."

"Black and white?" Jin Jing thought for a while, "Oh, it's the contrast between hair and clothes."

"Yes, because I just woke up, I was still dizzy and not quite awake. When I saw this for the first time, I thought I was dazzled. When a cold wind blew over, I woke up immediately. I could see clearly what those black and white things were. Dozens of corpses were lying neatly on the snow, with their backs facing up, and their white clothes became one with the snow. At that time, I was really scared. , If it hadn’t been for the brothers pushing me, I wouldn’t have been able to recover.”

"It's really exciting to see this scene just after waking up. It's normal to be scared." Jin Jing nodded, "Then when you see the corpse, what does the corpse look like... I mean, the face What kind of state is the expression?"

"This...I haven't noticed it yet." Qiu Yi shook his head, "Because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, everyone is very relaxed and thinks nothing will happen. So, we actually saw this scene early in the morning. I was almost scared to death, how could I pay attention to this? I was so scared that it was the superior officer who helped me report it."

"Yes, General Shen!" A fat soldier sitting next to Qiu Yi said seriously, "I went to tell our general!"

"Okay!" Shen Cha wrote down his words in a notebook and carefully looked at the expressions of several soldiers. They were all very sincere and no one avoided his gaze. "Now, please describe what happened last night. Situation. I talked to General Yelu Zesheng before. According to the information he provided me, eight of you were on duty last night, with four people in one shift. However, just now Qiu Yi said that when he woke up , you are still sleeping, why? According to common sense, four of you should be awake."

"We are also very surprised about this!" Another tall, honest-looking soldier stood up and said, "Since noon yesterday, we have been feeling dizzy and not quite sober. After dinner, , this feeling is even stronger. I don’t know when they all fell asleep. Anyway, I fell asleep not long after entering the room, and it was very deep. Generally speaking, this kind of thing does not happen. situation."

"Yes!" Everyone else nodded, "We have never slept so deeply, even if we weren't on duty, we wouldn't be like this."

"Very good!" Shen Cha carefully wrote down everything they said in his notebook, "You can think about it again, is there anything else you need to add?"

The eight soldiers lowered their heads, thought carefully, and shook their heads towards Shen Cha.

"Thank you!" Shen Cha stood up from the chair and bowed slightly towards the eight soldiers, "Thank you for your cooperation. If you think of anything, just come to me!"

"General Shen, you're welcome!" The eight soldiers stood up in a hurry and saluted back, "This is what we should do."

Shen Cha looked at them, turned around and left the hut, with the two old generals and Jin Jing following behind her.

"Boss!" Ying Liu saw them coming out of the house, walked over and whispered in Shen Cha's ear, "We swept away the snow and found no traces. There was no trace under the snow where the body was found. discovery.”
