Chapter 107: Dim Sum (Supplement)
In order to cover up some things, Chen Changshou tried to divert the attention of the Supervision Department, so he that he saw the murderer, but in fact, he did not see the murderer from beginning to end.
Chen Changshou has a secret, and he can't be known by the Human Supervision Department, but what exactly is a mystery has become a mystery, because he took advantage of the change of sentence to bite his tongue and commit suicide.
The secret that has never been revealed is forever tight-lipped as a bottle.
This news surprised everyone, Chen Changshou was timid and cowardly, if something hadn't forced him, he would never have had the courage to choose suicide.
What is he hiding?
The Department of Inspectors immediately investigated him.
Chen Changshou's wife had long since died, leaving behind a son, and he did not remarry.
When the Supervision Department searched Chen Changshou's home, he found a lot of money, he had been in charge of Hun Tianling for so many years, except for sending it to his son, he had no expenses on weekdays, and his savings were enough to buy a house in Xishi that could be used by the whole family to live in, he only had one son, even the current house was enough for the father and son to live, but his son still lived in his uncle's house in Xingzhou.
The Supervision Department speculated that the reason why Chen Changshou was willing to commit suicide rather than tell the secret was mostly related to the Chen family, so he quickly informed Fu Yuan and the Xingzhou Yamen to immediately sue the Chen family, and sent another supervisor to Xingzhou to take over the Si family's extermination case.
Wei Qian is now mainly responsible for investigating the Si Yanling case.
Cui Ning felt that the Supervision Department really had high hopes for Wei Qian, and the unsolved case of his murder with little evidence more than ten years ago was handed over to him, and the truth was found out within a month.
"It's too bullying. Cui Ning muttered while sorting out the file of Si Yanling's case.
She buried her head in carefully examining the contents, felt someone around her, and looked up to see a slender hand carrying a snack box in front of her.
"Fifth brother. Cui Ning recognized him just by looking at his hands.
Cui Ning put down the things in her hand, wiped her hands, and happily opened the snack box, which was not a small snack, but a bowl of hot noodles.
"It's not time for lunch yet. Cui Ning said this, but she had already picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Recently, Wei Qian didn't know what was going on, he always took advantage of the time he went out to do errands to bring her a lot of delicious food, Cui Ning would think about why at first, but after many times, it had become a habit.
Wei Qian looked at the things that Cui Ning had sorted out, and waited until she finished eating before she spoke, "Let's go, go for a walk." ”
"Walking?" Cui Ning followed him out in confusion.
The file of Si Yanling's case did not have any substantial help in solving the case, Cui Ning thought of the one-month deadline and was anxious for him, he was still in the mood to take a walk, "Fifth brother, you are really lenient." ”
Wei Qian said, "Don't worry about Si Yanling's case, continue to investigate the purpose of the Si sisters' entry into the Hun Tian Prison and what Chen Changshou concealed." ”
"Huh?" Cui Ning wondered, "Why?"
"All kinds of evidence show that there is an inevitable connection between the three cases, the new case is a breakthrough, and the Si Yanling case is too bizarre, and the things more than ten years ago are even more difficult to investigate, if you only stare at it, you will not be able to solve the case in this life. Wei Qian took Cui Ning out of the Supervision Department and took a carriage to Chen Changshou's residence.
Chen Changshou's home is in Da'anfang, near Anhua Gate, and is a small courtyard with two rooms and a kitchen.
The small yard is well cleaned, planted with a lot of flowers and plants, all of which are common varieties, but they are very neatly trimmed, the kitchen is basically furnished, and the pots and pans are full of dust, which does not look commonly used.
The house was turned over by the Supervision Department, and the officer who guarded Chen Changshou's house said, "This Hun Tianling has saved a lot of money, but his life is very hard, and there is nothing valuable in the house." ”
As he said, the most valuable thing in the house is only pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and even the usual clothes that he wears on weekdays are only a few pieces.
It was such a simple yard, but Wei Qian looked at it for an hour or two.
"See what?" Wei Qian asked.
Cui Ning said, "Chen Changshou is very thin, his clothes are obviously wider, the stitches are rough, the fabric is not good, I feel that I bought it in a small ready-to-wear store." ”
Wei Qian smiled and said, "Very good, let's go." ”
"Where are you going?" asked Cui Ning.
Wei Qian said, "Eat." ”
Leaving Chen Changshou's house, Wei Qian did not get into the carriage, but took Cui Ning along the road he came, and saw a tavern at a distance of less than a hundred zhang.
It was past noon, and there were not many people in the store, so Wei Qian ordered a few dishes to have lunch with Cui Ning.
The dishes are average, but the portions are real.
Cui Ning didn't think that he was just eating a meal this time, so he asked in a low voice, "Fifth brother, does Lord Chen often come here to eat?"
"Hmm. Wei Qian said in a low voice, "His kitchen is a furnishing, and he doesn't even boil water often, which means that there is a place near here that can solve the basic problem of eating." ”
Chen Changshou's house is far away from Hun Tianjian, which means that he has to go out early and return late every day, so the place to eat and drink for him will inevitably be open until late.
Except for festivals, the gate of Chang'an's Fang Market is generally closed at the beginning of the year.
If Chen Changshou was eating near Hun Tianjian or making a detour to Xishi, and it was very likely that he would not be able to come back before the Fang Gate closed, then this place was most likely within Da'an Fang.
The tavern is not big, there is only one Xiao Er in it, there are not many people eating at this time, and the dishes are very fast, Wei Qian glanced at Xiao Er who came to this side with the dishes, and said in a low voice, "You come and ask." ”
Cui Ning also glanced at Xiao Er, rubbed her face, put on a bright smile, and when Xiao Er put down the food, she asked, "Little brother, I want to ask you something." ”
Xiao Er saw that they were wearing official uniforms, so he said with sincere fear, "My lord, please speak." ”
"Does Lord Chen of Hun Tianling often come here for dinner?" asked Cui Ning.
"Back to the adults, the little ones don't know the Hun Tian Ling. Xiao Er bowed.
Wei Qian was about to speak, but Cui Ning asked again, "Is there anyone who left with a pot of tea after eating?"
Xiao Er immediately said, "Yes, yes, yes! There is a guest officer who often comes, every time he is alone, very thin, he will bring a teapot when he comes, and he will not talk to others, and let the little one fill the teapot and take it away after eating." ”
Cui Ning pulled a stool, "It's okay to serve the food later, you sit down for a while, and let's talk for a while." ”
Wei Qian frowned, a little girl pulled a young man to speak, why did it sound so strange? But he knew that she was himself, and he must have thought it was normal.
Xiao Zhan glanced at Wei Qian tremblingly.
"Sit down. Wei Qian said.
Xiao Er sat down cautiously, and Cui Ning continued, "Don't you think that person is strange?"
Xiao Er saw that Cui Ning was a kind little girl, and his heart relaxed a little, "It's weird, our small shop has the best business at night, everyone comes out to drink and chat, and there are really few people like him who don't talk or drink." And he didn't dress well, but he had the money to come to eat every day. ”
Cui Ning put on a gossip face, approached him and whispered, "Such a strange person, will the people who often come to the tavern be very curious?"
Xiao Er said, "Of course, someone sees him living in a house near here, and there are no people in the house on weekdays, he goes out early and returns late every day, which is very mysterious." Could it be that he is the Heavenly Order?"
Although the Hun Tian Prison has declined, in the hearts of ordinary people, the Hun Tian Ling is a very mysterious official, and it is even rumored that they have the ability to reach the heavens. R1152
