Chapter 259

Everyone knows that Peng You is a vicious dog raised by Yang Ling, and he acts sharply on weekdays, as if he never knows how to restrain himself, but in fact, he is not a person who does not know the current affairs and does not distinguish between good and bad, if it is not Yang Lin who died this time, he will never care who is in charge of the case, let alone make unjust, false and wrongful cases.

Peng You has never been a righteous person.

He sat on the ground at this moment, looking up at the person in the seat, this was the first time he looked at a girl so seriously, she was very thin, even if she was wrapped in a wide dress, she could see that she was as thin as a bamboo pole, and from the face that had not yet faded from her immaturity, she could already get a glimpse of the beauty and refinement of the future. The girl gives people a very contradictory feeling, a soft and lovely face, and when she is angry, it makes people feel pressured, and there is no coquettishness of the little daughter's family.

"If Peng Zuo still has doubts, he can ask the imperial court to send another official to investigate the case, and maybe the saint will be responsible for Lord Wei. Cui Ning smiled coldly, "You can try, does the Holy Lord reprimand you or send me down?"

Cui Ning was originally the inspector in charge of inspecting Suzhou this year, and he should be in charge of this case.

There was silence in the house, and behind the house, Wei Qian waited for a long time before listening to her persuasion again, "Why does Peng Zuo make such a twist? With Lord Wei supervising by his side, will he watch me conclude an unjust case?"

After coming hard, Cui Ning slowed down her tone, "It's not easy for everyone to be officials, why bother with each other, you say yes?"

Peng You thought about it, as long as he had the result, what did it matter to him who was in charge on the surface! So he got up and arched his hand, "It's the lower official who wants to be left, and he has offended a lot, Master Cui is not to blame." ”

"It's okay, I understand. "Cui Ning has always been able to bend and stretch.

She said that she understood, and Peng You suddenly thought of being in the Yang Mansion before, and she had comforted herself, "If you feel difficult, you might as well think more about the enemy", and she felt in her heart that she might really understand. It's just that how can a noble girl from a family who was raised with a family understand this kind of bone-cutting pain?

He got up and patted the dust on his body, found a nearby chair and sat on it, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said slowly, "The body of that little guy was found in the moat of the city, and a preliminary autopsy was conducted, and the time of death was last night, and the cause of death was drowning." ”

The time of Xiaowu's death was after Yang Ling, and he was suspected of murder and absconding, as for his death in the moat, or someone instructed him to kill Yang Ling and then kill him, or he just suffered from the pond fish.

In short, it was impossible for the little guy to run out of the moat in the middle of the night and drown himself, and it was so coincidental, on the night after Yang Ling was killed.

Cui Ning groaned, "The little guy must know something, otherwise the murderer could have killed him on the spot." Besides, can you be sure that the little guy went back to the house with Yang Beijia that night?"

Peng You was secretly calming down his emotions, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, and he actually put his anger behind him for a while, "When the lord left the yamen, four people saw it, one was Counselor Yu, two night watchmen, and one was a porter. Counselor Yu and the two officials had seen the little servant follow the adults, but the porter said that they hadn't seen it. ”

Usually Yang purlin is to take a sedan chair or ride a horse to and fro, the small maid will first go to the sedan chair man to carry the sedan chair to the door to wait, the sedan chair room and the stable are in the westernmost side of the garden, the sedan chair and the groom do not need to pass through the palace, but directly from the west side of the door, detour to the main gate to wait, under normal circumstances, the small maid is to follow the walk to the front of the main gate to wait.

That is to say, every time they leave the yamen, the little maid and Yang Ling are separated.

"Yang Beijia likes to ride horses on weekdays?" Cui Ning wondered, "When I came, I heard from the locals that Suzhou has been raining a lot recently, so it was also a rainy night, right?

Peng You straightened up suddenly, "Adults usually like to ride a horse rather than a sedan chair, but when it rains, he will sit in a sedan chair, or stay directly in the yamen." But I'm not sure if it rained all night that night, and from what I know about adults, if the rain had stopped, he would have chosen to ride a horse. ”

Since the two of them left their hometown, Yang Ling has always been very concerned about the practice of martial arts, and after a long time, he has some habits of martial arts people, and usually feels that the sedan chair is slow and stuffy, if there are no special circumstances, he would rather walk than like to take the sedan chair.

"Don't think about it. In my opinion, the murderer must be someone close to Yang Beijia, not only knows his habits, but also seems to have predicted his movements the night before yesterday in advance, and if you are a little more bold to guess, it is even possible that the reason why he returned home late at night was a trap set by the murderer. Cui Ning slowly moved her dull fingers and asked unhurriedly, "I'm afraid even you didn't know that he would return home in the middle of the night, right?"

Peng You was taken aback.

Because it is excluded that Yang Ling suddenly wants to go back to his house in the middle of the night, there is only one person who can ask him to go back, and that is Mrs. Yang.

"Is it her?!" Peng You had obviously thought.

Cui Ning said, "It's just speculation, and it can't be ruled out that someone has set a trap in the name of Mrs. Yang, let's not make a noise for the time being, and investigate secretly first." In this matter, it is safer for Peng Zuo to ask Mrs. Beijia in person. ”

"Good. Peng You understood that she suspected that Mrs. Yang was involved in the case and wanted to let herself test as a relative, but she just said it more tactfully.

After some conversation, Peng You found that he had really underestimated this little Cui before, and only then did he listen to the meaning of her words, he thought that he was implying that Wei Changyuan was behind everything, but he didn't want her to make such a reasonable guess without even carefully inspecting the crime scene and not going to the autopsy.

If these words hadn't been taught by Wei Changyuan in advance, then she would have been extremely talented.

Thinking about it, the Cui family is a big family, the family is Xuanhe, and the reputation is remarkable, no matter what reason makes them willing to push a woman out as an official, she can't be a straw bag. Thinking of this, Peng You didn't resist her to take charge of the case as much as before.

Peng You doesn't know how to restrain himself, but it doesn't mean that he is stupid, on the contrary, he is an extremely smart person and is very good at solving cases, but he was hit suddenly, he couldn't even control his emotions, and there was no way to think about the chaos in his mind, otherwise he didn't need to look forward to Wei Qian to solve the case.

In the past two days, he has been running around in a hurry like a headless fly, otherwise he wouldn't have almost overturned Suzhou City, and he hadn't found the little guy yet.

If only he could have cleared his mind and found the little guy who was still alive a day earlier......

Peng You closed his eyes and swallowed the fishy sweetness that surged to his throat.

Cui Ning saw that his face was getting paler and paler, so he said, "You arrange things first, and go back to rest for an hour or two." ”

"No need to ......"

Cui Ning interrupted him, "What I need is someone available, do you think you are suitable to follow up on the case now?"

After the catharsis just now, he seems to have calmed down a little, but his emotions are still too unstable, and any change may make him difficult to control himself, and he is a person with great ideas, and when the time comes, the two have different opinions, and he can't deal with it calmly, so how can he help solve the case?

Although Cui Ning doesn't understand these truths, she never wants to go through what happened just now, and she doesn't know if her hand is injured yet!

As soon as she spoke, Peng You became angry, and her first reaction was that she hated Fang Cai, but she calmed down in a flash, "Okay." Thank you, Lady Cui. ”

This "adult" shouted much more solemnly than before, he just suddenly swung his fist at Cui Ning in a fit of rage, and now he is really embarrassed to think about it, no matter how he says that the other party is just a teenage girl.

Peng You doesn't even care about life and death, and naturally he is not afraid of offending the Cui family, but he has a bottom line, thinking that he is a big man who usually disdains to swing his fists at the weak, and he doesn't even have the slightest sense under his madness, if he can't calm down, it is really not suitable to follow up the case.

He knew very well how hard he had just used, and he never thought that Cui Ning would be able to take it, if it really hit her just now...... That punch, not everyone can take it casually, and not everyone can easily forgive, he didn't expect Cui Ning to have such a mind at a young age.

Cui Ning impressed him several times, but it was really a misunderstanding in this matter. Cui Ning holds a grudge very much, she can't bear it for the time being, just to avoid hindering the solving of the case, what is the use of her talking about these with a madman!

Seeing Peng You leave, Cui Ning said indignantly, "This revenge is not a gentleman, wait until the case is closed, hum!"

"Is your hand hurt?" Wei Qian strode in, and saw that she was still in the mood to worry about this, and was slightly relieved.

"Fifth brother!" As soon as Cui Ning saw him, his eyes immediately turned red, "I may have been shocked, woo-"

Wei Qian stepped forward to take a look, the originally white and tender little hands were already red and swollen, and they still couldn't stop shaking on their legs, and said urgently, "Someone!"

The messenger who was waiting from a distance immediately rushed over, "What do you command?"

"Go and call a doctor at once. Wei Qian said.

The officer received the order and ran away in a hurry.

Wei Qian stretched out his hand and tried her arm, and she screamed in pain, "Fifth brother spare your life!"

"There is no problem with the bones. Wei Qian gently lowered her hand, and there was anger in her voice, "You don't know how to hide? Who gave you the courage!"

Cui Ning flattened her mouth and muttered in a low voice, "You." ”

Wei Qianqi knotted, "I gave you the courage to give you, why didn't you receive the brain at all! Reckless!"

He has good ears, standing behind the house and roughly hearing the sound of talking, he didn't know that Peng You suddenly threw a fist at her, and it wasn't until later that he guessed that the two were fighting, and he listened to Cui Ning's angry roar and couldn't help but not come in. Now that he has been subjected, he can't let her efforts go to waste just because he is distressed.

"Fifth brother, am I powerful?" Cui Ningting can look at people's eyes, and she can feel that Peng You has a little respect for her when he finally leaves.

Heh, it can be broken! Wei Qian poked her in the head, "Amazing." ”

Hearing this, Cui Ning's eyebrows and eyes were flying, and if there was another tail, I was afraid that it would be able to rise to the sky.

He looked at her smug little appearance, and his heart was soft.

They had talked a lot about this case just now, but he didn't mention anything about what she said to Peng You.

Although no one is born to solve crimes, this line of work still requires some talent. For example, Wei Qian has been an extremely perceptive person since he was a child, he can notice subtle changes in things around him, he is very good at inference, and based on these changes, he can quickly guess the reason and process of what happened. These talents have been cultivated intensively, which has made him extremely good in this area.

And Cui Ning is just the opposite, saying that it is good to call it casual, it is called informal, and to say that it is ugly, it is a little lacking in heart. She doesn't like to think too much by nature, doesn't care about the little things around her, and easily trusts others, so she can be said to be very untalented in solving cases.

Wei Qian didn't expect that she could do so well.
