Chapter 71
"Miaomiao, you shouldn't be impulsive." Gu Yuanniang applied ointment to Xu Miaomiao in the room and slowly explained: "You took the initiative to undertake this matter, what if you can't find out."

"That's right." Song Weiwei came to her senses, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "That Hu Chong obviously wanted to shirk responsibility, and if he couldn't find out in the end, he could also blame you."

"Huh—" Xu Miaomiao sighed helplessly: "But I see that Xie Ziqi died of injustice, and I feel very uncomfortable in every way."

"But how do we check if there is no beard?" Gu Yuanniang asked aloud.

After applying the medicine, Xu Miaomiao put on her clothes and looked outside the house: "The most urgent thing at the moment is to have an autopsy to know the result."

Song Weiwei and Gu Yuanniang froze in place as soon as they heard that the autopsy was going to be carried out.

"Miao Miao, we can't do this autopsy, so we won't go over and trouble you." Gu Yuanniang said apologetically, and looked at Xu Miaomiao embarrassedly.

Song Weiwei on the side also turned pale with fright: "I woke up just now, if I go and faint from fright, wouldn't I cause you trouble."

"It's okay, I'll go by myself." Xu Miaomiao said slowly, she didn't plan to bring them along for autopsy.

"How can this be done!" Gu Yuanniang stepped forward anxiously: "We don't trust you to go alone."

Then he gritted his teeth again, and was about to say that he was going when he was interrupted by a voice.

"I will go with you."

Following the sound, it was Xu Guo.

Xu Miaomiao quickly waved her hand: "No, no, you are too young to go."

"You're not a few years older than me."

Xu Miaomiao froze in place when she heard this, but she was not a few years older than him, but if this child said it directly, she would be shameless!
In the end, under the strong request of Gu Yuanniang and Xu Guo, Xu Miaomiao could only take him with him.

"Hey, don't cry if you're afraid when you go later."

Xu Miaomiao looked at Xu Guo jokingly.

The boy chuckled and looked at Xu Miaomiao with some disdain in his eyes: "Don't worry, I won't be the one crying."

With that said, the two arrived at the room where the corpse was stored.

Because of the colder weather recently, the body is still relatively well preserved.

Xu Miaomiao looked at the woman, and could always think of how much she had heard in a low voice that afternoon.

Relieved, Xu Miaomiao didn't think about anything else, observing the woman's body.

Xu Guo stared straight at the side, and rarely even blinked, which made Xu Miaomiao feel even more creepy.

After the inspection, Xu Miaomiao rushed outside and took off her veil before letting out a sigh of relief.

"See what?"

Xu Guo, who was at the side, folded his arms around his chest, leaned to the side and looked at Xu Miaomiao, who was panting heavily, and asked.

Xu Miaomiao was still a little surprised that this kid was so calm when nothing happened, but Xu Miaomiao still let the truth out: "She was indeed poisoned to death, but it is a very common poison."

"Oh?" Xu Guo looked at Xu Miaomiao curiously and asked, "Very common? What is it?"

"There are a lot of rats in this area. In order to prevent the rats from stealing the rice, they put some rat poison in the corner, and this woman died after taking the rat poison."

Xu Guo nodded thoughtfully.

"But there is one more thing I don't understand." Xu Miaomiao said slowly: "This woman has many bruises on her body, and even her feet have fracture marks, and there are new injuries and old injuries, which is very strange."

As soon as Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, Xu Guo's expression darkened, thinking deeply.

"Come on, let's go to their house now."

"Now?" Xu Miaomiao asked suspiciously, looking at the late sky, and smelling: "Did you find any new clues?"

Xu Guo nodded slowly: "But I'm not sure yet, let's go quickly."

Xu Miaomiao nodded, not knowing why this child always gives people a sense of security, maybe following him can really find the reason for this woman's death.

According to the address given by the yamen servant, the two of them searched the market a lot before they found the house in the innermost part of the street.

"Dangdangdang—"

Following Xu Miaomiao's knock on the door, the door frame loosened, and the thatch on the roof also loosened a bit, Xu Miaomiao was startled, if he didn't knock on the door, the house would collapse.

After a long time, no one responded, and Xu Guo walked in with strides.

The facilities in the house are simple, a bit worn out but clean. It seems that the owner of this house is very hardworking.

"what is this?"

Xu Miaomiao saw a special wooden stick on the side, it was a bit long, and one end of the stick was a little cracked.

Xu Guo cast a glance and put away the stick.

"There's a girl in the family?"

Xu Miaomiao questioned.

Xu Guo looked at her puzzled: "Where did you see that?"

"Look." Xu Miaomiao picked up a handkerchief: "It's a rabbit on it, and most married women don't use it, but yesterday I saw that woman was holding a handkerchief with a pair of mandarin ducks, and the rabbit is innocent. It symbolizes that it must belong to a child."

I think she embroidered one for Erbao back then, but who knew it would end up as a mouse.

Xu Guo took the handkerchief and murmured, "This handkerchief is still very new, it's just been made."

After checking, Xu Miaomiao and Xu Guo were about to leave.

"Hey, why did you get out of Mrs. Dong's room?"

The old man passing by saw this scene and asked curiously.

"Old man, we came to look for her, but we didn't see her." Xu Miaomiao responded.

"Retribution is all retribution."

Hearing this, Xu Guo hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Where did the old man say that?"

"Ms. Dong gave birth to a girl who died of illness a month ago. She was a little crazy. She was found dead two days ago."

"Then why did the old man say it was retribution?" Xu Miaomiao asked puzzled.

"This Dong Qi likes to beat his wife as soon as he comes home. Mrs. Dong is such a good person, but he beats him every day. We can hear the screams from next door, but this is someone else's business after all, and we are not good at it. Prevent."

"So that's how it is." Xu Guo nodded slowly and looked at the man again: "Old man, why is Dong Qi still not going home after it's almost nightfall?"

"Oh." The old man sighed helplessly: "This Dong Qi is really not a thing. He has become obsessed with gambling, and I am afraid he is still gambling now."

Speaking of which, the old man walked away on his own, muttering non-stop: "Poor Mrs. Dong."

Hearing Dong Qi beating his wife every day, Xu Miaomiao felt sad for a while, domestic violence people would never be forgiven, but this Dong Qi was still pretending to be affectionate in the courtroom, it was really disgusting.

Xu Miaomiao despised this man from the bottom of her heart.

"Xuguo, do you have any conclusions?" Xu Miaomiao looked at the boy who lowered her head and asked. Anyway, she had no clues. It's been one day since the past three days, and she suddenly regretted her original decision.
