"Ah?" Chai Yan's expression paused, and then he asked tentatively: "Then... Mr. Gu, what if the real murderer is no longer in Anping County?"
Gu Zhengbang said seriously: "Then there is nothing I can do. Do you know that I am making an exception by giving you this opportunity to prove your innocence!"
"I know, I know..."
At this time, Chai Yan could only pray secretly in his heart, hoping that the murderer of Su Jinhan's concubine would remain in Anping County for the time being.
"In that case, let's get started." Gu Zhengbang raised his hand and signaled.
While they were talking, Gu Ling and Doudou had slowly walked to Gu Zhengbang's side.
On the way back, Gu Ling and Doudou were both talking about Chai Yan's discovery of the leave book and the bloody monk's robe. At this time, they just wanted to confirm again to see if Chai Yan just ran into a dead mouse.
Chai Yan understood what Mr. Gu meant, but without the blood sample of the deceased at hand, Shangguan Peining was unable to search for the specific location of the murderer.
Chai Yan thought for a while, then raised his hands and said, "Master Gu, can I make a small request?"
"Say..." Gu Zhengbang said.
Chai Yan said: "Master Gu, can you provide the bloody clothes of the two deceased people for the next viewing?"
"What do you want to do with the bloody clothes?" Gu Zhengbang frowned slightly.
Chai Yan then asked: "Master Gu, do you still remember the bloody monk's clothes that were dug out under the big tree before?"
Gu Zhengbang nodded lightly.
Chai Yan continued: "My specialty is to calculate the direction of the evil position, and the clothes with blood stains on the deceased are the best guides. If Shanyuan hadn't buried the bloody monk's clothes and the leave book together, I wouldn't have Maybe I found it so quickly..."
Gu Zhengbang asked: "You mean, if I give you the bloody clothes of the deceased, you can calculate the location of the murderer?"
"Yes!" Chai Yan didn't explain much, and directly gave a positive answer: "Master Gu, if you have the blood clothes of the deceased, I can increase it ten times... No, it can be dozens of times or even a hundred times. Accuracy! Your Excellency knows very well that I have no extra time to waste, so I hope you can help me with this little favor..."
After saying that, Chai Yan bowed his hands.
For Gu Zhengbang, getting two bloody clothes of the deceased is a piece of cake. It just depends on whether he is willing to help.
"Ling'er, what do you think?" Gu Zhengbang suddenly asked what his daughter meant.
Gu Ling had a clear idea, so he said without hesitation: "Dad, why don't we fulfill his wish and show him the blood-stained clothes of the deceased, so that some people will not have to make excuses when they fail!"
Gu Zhengbang paused and ordered: "Mo Di, go to the county office quickly and get the blood clothes of the deceased!"
"Yes, sir!" Mo Di agreed and left.
After Mo Di left, the hall fell into silence, and suddenly he heard a series of "gurgling" sounds. It turned out to be Chaiyan's stomach growling from hunger.
From the time he was imprisoned in the county jail until now, Chai Yan has eaten almost nothing, except for two bowls of cold water he secretly asked for from an acquaintance at Anping Temple...
The growling of her stomach made Doudou cover her mouth and snicker. Gu Ling immediately pinched Doudou's cheek, and Doudou stopped laughing.
"Um...Mr. Gu, do you have anything to eat at home? I haven't eaten for several meals..."
Chai Yan didn't care about face or not, he wanted to get something to eat first.
Gu Zhengbang turned around and told Doudou: "Go to the kitchen and look for it. If you have anything to eat, bring it."
Doudou followed the instructions and quickly turned to the back.
Chai Yan thought to himself that there was a loophole in what he said. It would be no problem if there was food, but if it was gone, couldn't he make something temporarily?
In addition, I have offended the master and servant in the past. Will the little girl deliberately say no so that she will continue to be hungry?
Facts have proved that Chai Yan himself was overthinking it. Doudou went to the kitchen and came back after about an hour of burning incense. There was a tray in his hand with a bowl of leftover rice, two plates of pickles, and a cold steamed bun.
Chai Yan couldn't help but secretly blame himself, thinking that he was too petty, and the little girl Doudou was quite kind-hearted.
"Master, this is all left in the kitchen." After Doudou came back, he first brought the food to Gu Zhengbang.
Gu Zhengbang glanced at it, motioned for the beans to be served to Chai Yan, and said at the same time: "Eat it."
As soon as Chai Yan saw the food appearing, he suddenly felt even more hungry. He took the tray unceremoniously, put it on the coffee table on the side, and started to eat hungrily.
"Miss, the starving ghost you talked about last time was reincarnated like this, is this it?"
"Yeah, yeah, that's right, eight, nine, ten..."
After hearing this, Doudou immediately burst into laughter. Perhaps she was afraid of being scolded by her master, so she just laughed a few times and then stopped abruptly.
Chai Yan didn't have time to pay attention to their teasing. His hunger prompted him to finish the bun in his hand in three bites. His cheeks suddenly bulged, and he looked like he was struggling to chew...
"Listen, Chai Yan, don't choke to death here. Even if we are leaving soon, it doesn't feel like living in a haunted house!"
Gu Zhengbang couldn't stand looking at this look. As he spoke, he poured a glass of water and motioned for Doudou to bring it to him.
"Pfft...cough cough cough..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Gu Zhengbang's words came out, Chai Yan spit out a lot of dry steamed bun crumbs, and then started coughing. Looking within the range, not only were there white flakes everywhere on the tray and coffee table, but also on the seat next door. .......
At this moment, Chai Yan felt from the bottom of his heart that he had underestimated Mr. Gu's sense of humor.
Upon seeing this, Doudou quickly put the water into Chai Yan's hand. Chai Yan raised his head and drank it, and then he felt much better.
Gu Ling chuckled and murmured: "It's really not unfair to say that you are a starving ghost!"
After swallowing the steamed bun in his mouth with water, Chai Yan took a breath again and said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "Master Gu, it turns out that you can also talk nonsense seriously!"
"Serious nonsense?"
This was the first time Gu Zhengbang heard such a fresh sentence. He couldn't help but repeat it twice in his mind, and then nodded and said: "It does sound a bit strange, but if you think about it carefully, it is quite appropriate."
Next, Chai Yan ate all the food on the tray, even the pickles on the plate were clean.
As soon as Doudou took away the dishes, Mo Di's figure appeared at the door.
"Sir, the blood clothes are here."
Chai Yan looked back and saw that Mo Di was holding a navy blue cloth bundle in his hand.
As soon as he took the bundle from Mo Di and opened it, an unpleasant smell of blood poured into Chai Yan's nose. Chai Yan endured the smell and took a closer look. Sure enough, there were two pieces of women's clothing inside. stains of dried blood.
At the same time, Shangguan Peining's longing voice appeared: "Ah! That's right...that's the taste..."
