Chapter 6 Beautiful things are to own
"Watch your step," Xinnuo warned as he was about to go out.

Zhang Ku, Piaofeng, Xiao Shan and Hu Ping all stopped in their tracks.

Xinnuo smiled and said to the bearded Zhang Ku, "It's under your feet."

Zhang Ku lowered his head, what's under his feet?
He moved the foot that was in the air and took a closer look. It turned out to be an inconspicuous footprint.

Zhang Ku was surprised. He first looked at his father, and then at the little girl who was as beautiful as a blooming white peony.

Chu Wei also turned around, his deep gaze resting on Xin Nuo for a moment.

The color of his eyes is a very pure brown color, and his deep gaze also conveys a sense of nobility and elegance.

Xinnuo felt a little itchy and wanted to dig out such beautiful eyes and then use some kind of potion to make them into lifelike specimens.

The old man and the new man put on two thin fishskin gloves, walked to the stage, and said, "I am the boss. I can help you see the body first."

Upon hearing this, Hong Fan, who had just lit it, screamed and stepped back.

Nanny Qin's eyes were red with distress, and she hugged her daughter and kept comforting her.

Chu Wei said: "Hu Ping, take the mother and daughter to the main hall in front. In addition, all the people who stayed overnight yesterday are not allowed to leave."

"Yes." Hu Ping responded.

Chu Wei said again: "Zhang Ku, you inspect the hall. Piaofeng, Xiao Shan, you two go to check around the thousand-story platform."

After hearing this, the old and new man raised his head and saw the mottled plaque on it, and said: "It turns out this is not a building, but a platform."

Looking at the bronze mirror inside again, the old and new man murmured: "The evil mirror. There are no good people in front of the evil mirror."

As he spoke, he looked at the dead man who bowed his head in a gesture of repentance on the ground.

Chu Wei got up and moved out of the way, "Since it's a coworker, you can check it out, I can only see that he was strangled to death."

The new and old man squatted down, laid the deceased flat, checked the mouth and nose first, and said: "The tongue was cut, and it should be the one hanging on the bronze mirror."

Chu Wei listened silently beside him.

The new and old man continued to check and said: "There are strangulation marks on the neck." Then he opened his mouth and reached out to dig out, "There is a clot of blood in the throat. It should be that the tongue was cut first, and he died of choking, shock and pain."

After checking other places, the new old man stood up and said to Chu Wei: "There are no other fatal injuries. The time of death is about [-] or [-] o'clock in the morning. This man must have offended many people because of his careless speech. Judging from the interpersonal relationships around him, Let’s start checking, I think there will be news soon.”

Xinnuo felt that things were not that simple. She said: "Last night, before I went out, I saw a figure who came back. He looked like this person. Later, grandpa, didn't you say that after I left, another person came out? ?"

Chu Weidao: "This is the person who came back and who went out."

Xinnuo: Does this mean that this person followed her when he went out last night?Unexpectedly, Chu Wei also came out and he came back. But when did he go out again and meet the murderer?

At this moment, Zhang Ku walked back with empty hands, and said, "Master, except for a few footprints, I found nothing."

"Go back to the capital first, and notify Jing Zhaoyin's examiner to bring his wife for an autopsy. Ask the painter to come together, draw a portrait of the deceased, and paste it at the gate of the city for people to recognize."

With that said, Chu Wei stepped away from the Thousand Layers Platform.

"Follow me, too." This was said to Xin Nuo and his grandparents.

When they arrived at the main hall, Zhang Ku, Piao Feng and Xiao Shan who had gone to explore the surroundings came back. Each person guarded a door. Chu Wei walked in from the outside and said: "No one is allowed to leave until official Jing Zhao Yin comes to inquire."

The old man and the new man nodded, not anxious at all, then walked in, squatted down and stirred the porridge that was already mushy.

"vomit."

There was another burst of uncontrollable retching.

Xin Nuo was disgusted by what she heard. She turned around and looked fiercely at Hong Fan, who could only vomit acid water, and said, "Can you be quiet?"

At this moment, Hong Fan completely lost the dissatisfaction and anger of yesterday, and quickly stretched out his hands to cover his mouth tightly.

Xin Nuo just patted the hem of the skirt, pushed back the hem of the skirt, squatted down gracefully, and helped her grandfather serve the meal.

A smile flashed across Chu Wei's eyes, he stepped up to Hong Fan, and began to question her.

"What did it look like when you saw the body?"

Hongshan knelt down on the mattress on the ground, looked at Ruiminghou with moist eyes, and began to tell aggrievedly how she was frightened when she saw the dead.

Xin Nuo felt like yawning.

By the time the man should ask her, Xin Nuo had already had breakfast and was strolling comfortably at the door to bask in the morning sun.

"Girl, although we are going to the Thousand Layer Platform together, there are some things I still need to ask you." Chu Wei came out to the door, looked at the girl who looked like a bud in the morning sun, and said.

Xinnuo stopped and looked back at him: "Before you ask me, can I ask you a question?"

"You ask." Chu Wei put his hand behind his back, but his attitude was very gentle.

"Who are you? Can you take charge of the cases here?"

Chu Wei raised his eyebrows and dared to ask him this. No wonder when he saw the scene, there was no panic at all for a little girl of this age.

"I am the prison officer of Dali Temple, and I have the right to intervene in all murder cases in the world." He said.

Xinnuo asked again: "I heard that there was a prison officer named Chu Wei in Dali Temple. His method of solving cases was famous all over the world. Do you recognize him?"

Chu Wei looked deeply at the girl in front of him. Her face, as if carefully painted by the best painter in the world, was still as beautiful as the clouds, but it no longer attracted him as it did yesterday.

"I'm Chu Wei." He said, "Miss, are you interested in me?"

Xinnuo's eyes suddenly shone. She had guessed when she asked the question just now, but she really didn't expect such a coincidence.

"You are so good-looking." Xinnuo took two steps forward, and Chu Wei took two steps back. His guard against her was obviously written on his face. Xinnuo smiled and said, "You are as good-looking as others say."

In the main hall, the new old man had already raised his forehead, but the new old lady smiled kindly as she looked at the tall young man who was being forced back by her granddaughter.

"Girl, can I start asking questions?" Chu Wei said.

Xin Nuo nodded, her smiling eyes kept staring at him. If the senior brother the old man said was so good-looking, she could consider the red thread that the old man wanted to pull.
