Chapter 9: Antique Shops (9)

After Qin Fang came out of the morgue, he vomited for an afternoon, and lay in the inn for a long time without coming back to his senses. Bai Shui specially went to cut a handful of willow branches and bought wormwood for him to bathe and incense, and tossed until night before falling asleep. When he fell asleep, Bai Shui left.

After all...... It was he who put Qin Fang's head on the corpse's face and smelled the smell of wine......

The wine left in the mouth and nose of the female shopkeeper was indeed a mouth wine instead of a mulberry wine, and Su Yunkai, who knew what kind of wine it was, also let Qin put a good rest, and turned to Lord Qin to explain the matter.

Lord Qin was in a hurry to solve the case, and he didn't care that it was night, as soon as he heard about it, he was about to be promoted to the court for retrial, but he was stopped by Su Yunkai.

"Calm down, adults."

Su Yunkai stopped him back in the study, and Mingyue closed the door with a clear understanding, standing behind the door to control the wind for them, seeing that Lord Qin was not happy, "What are you doing, since Ge Cheng is not a murderer, then you should go and catch the real murderer, and then drag it out, what if he lets him run?" Are you responsible for this crime? ”

"The yamen has been promoted to try the case several times, and as a result, three people have been arrested, but none of them are murderers, and the people's arguments are only afraid that they will be even greater." Su Yunkai sat aside, poured himself tea, and said unhurriedly, "Judging from all kinds of clues, I can roughly guess the face of the murderer." The height should not be less than six feet, so that he could smash Liu's head into a serious injury. He loves to drink, and he drinks a lot of alcohol, otherwise he wouldn't have sneaked in and killed people and swept away a lot of property, leaving quietly. ”

Lord Qin hurriedly waved his hand, "Even if I'm drunk, I can take things." ”

Su Yun smiled, "You can even tell which things are more valuable and which are cheaper?" And the big ones don't take the small ones? ”

Lord Qin stopped talking now.

"I asked Bai Zhutou to make a secret visit, and found that among the people who had contact with the Liu family, there was no such person."

"Then I asked Wu Chip?"

"Wu Chip also said no." Su Yunkai continued, "That person doesn't have to be a mistress, maybe it's really just a burglary." ”

Now let Lord Qin go out, he didn't have the strength to stand up, his face was a little gray, "Then what can I do, it's good that there are traces to follow, no one knows what this person's surname is, do you want me to call the entire Nanle County people to ask again?" ”

"If you can't ask the living, just ask the dead." Su Yunkai whispered, "Since the murderer has taken away a bunch of antiques, he must always sell them." ”

Lord Qin frowned, "He can take things away so calmly, it can be seen that he is not a stupid person, how could he take things and sell them at this time?" ”

"So lead the snake out of the hole."

Lord Qin hurriedly asked, "I would like to hear about it." ”

"Since Ge Cheng has already been imprisoned and there is no evidence to prove his innocence, then we will let the officials spread rumors that Lord Qin is sure that he is the real murderer and is ready to be convicted soon. He then made a list of the lost treasures and posted them at the entrance of the yamen and in front of the pawnshop, so that the people could keep an eye on the whereabouts of these treasures. ”

"You mean to let the murderer let his guard down by thinking that Ge Cheng was a scapegoat? But what does it mean? ”

Su Yunkai's voice was lower, and Lord Qin had no choice but to lean his head over.

"There are a few things to be listed less, so that the murderer thinks that those things are not within the scope of the investigation, and he can sell them for money with confidence."

Lord Qin suddenly realized, thinking about it carefully, it was really a good way, and he was so happy that he slapped the table, and there was quite a lot of movement. Mingyue hurriedly shushed him, and Lord Qin also covered his mouth, he must not let people hear, if he can solve the case, he is afraid that he will be promoted again, and he will not have to return to this small place to be a petty official.

Su Yunkai is also going to leave after saying this, Lord Qin is not stupid, but maybe he is old, and he is a little anxious for quick success, so he is not very concerned about the trial. Now that the trial has reached this point, it is time for him to take care of himself and take care of the rest.

"Wait." Lord Qin stood up and looked him up and down, "You are not Xiao Ayue's helper, and you are not a local in your accent. Are you ......" he coughed lightly, "...... of the private interview of Weifu"

Su Yun smiled openly, and looked at Lord Qin, who was over half a hundred, like a naughty boy, "It's just a little smart and a little nosy, adults don't need to guess." Also, read more of the law and less drama on weekdays. ”

Lord Qin was blocked and speechless, although he was an afterlife, he was terrifying. I knew he wouldn't say much, so I didn't mention it. However, he intuitively felt that this person was not simple, and he would still be more polite in the future, and he would not be wrong.

Coming out of the back door of the inner ya, the jade plate is hung high. There is a faint fog, the moonlight is nameless, and the low houses are like silver gray, and the nose is slightly moist. The streets are deserted, quiet and quiet. When I crossed an alley and stepped into the street, I saw pedestrians and vendors.

Mingyue thought that he didn't seem to have eaten for a day, and when she saw that the stall owner in front of her had just put the wontons in the pot, she said, "I'm hungry, why don't we go eat wontons." ”

Speaking of which, Su Yunkai also had an empty stomach, so he went over with her and asked for two bowls. After a while, I felt that it was not enough, so I asked Xiao Er to put noodles in the soup again.

The deeper the night, the fewer people there are on the streets. Now only they are left eating. After a bowl of stomach, still lacking, Su Yunkai asked, "Are you still hungry?" ”

"Hungry."

Su Yunkai asked the stall owner to serve two more bowls, smiled again, and Mingyue asked, "Do you think I have eaten too much?" ”

"Ordinary girls do not eat too much, but they don't care about others, and it is important to fill their stomachs, but they are also more generous and straightforward than ordinary girls, which is also very good."

The girl in front of her smiled again, just like a bright moon hidden behind the mist. The skin is like snow, the lips are like a little red plum, delicate and exquisite, and it is very good-looking.

Mingyue realized that he was looking at herself, tilted her head slightly, and looked away. Su Yunkai also tilted his head and was speechless for a while. When the wontons came, he took the opportunity to say, "Do you know me?" ”

"Why do you say that?"

"You are a cautious girl, and you have grown up in the yamen since you were a child, so it should be impossible to talk to a strange man casually, and take the strange man around, and sit and eat together tonight."

Mingyue looked at him with a smile, "If I say it's because you look like a good person, do you believe it or not?" ”

Su Yunkai also smiled, "It seems that you don't plan to say it, or not, when you want to say it, you will naturally say it." ”

"Hmm." Mingyue didn't want to say it in her heart, she always felt that he shouldn't have forgotten her - after all, the two were chased so badly by the dog at that time. Even if he forgets himself, he shouldn't forget that he was chased by a dog, and when he remembers the incident he encountered when he was passing through Nanle County before, he can remember himself. Wait, isn't she even inferior to a dog?

Su Yunkai saw that she didn't know what to think deeply, and the more she thought about it, the happier she became.

After another bowl, I was finally full. Su Yunkai settled the money and wanted to send Mingyue home. Mingyue waved her hand and said, "My house is nearby, and the inn where you live is still far away, go back." ”

Su Yunkai sighed, "I really left you here and went back by myself, tomorrow Bai Zhutou will definitely scold me, and Qin Fang will also say that I am not a gentleman." So in order not to be scolded, please let me send you to your doorstep. ”

Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled, she had never heard such a tactful and aggrieved person, and said happily, "Then let's go, go back quickly, and then you will also hurry back to the inn." ”

Because Mingyue's grandfather is a servant and will be summoned by the yamen at any time, the place where he lives is not too far from the yamen. After crossing two main streets, you will arrive at the alley that enters the house. The fifth family in the alley is the Ming family.

Mingyue took the key and opened the door, entered the house and said, "My grandfather is not at home, there is a difference between men and women, I won't invite you in for tea, see you tomorrow morning, I'll go to the inn to find you." You can wake up a little later and I'll bring you breakfast. ”

"Okay."

Su Yunkai was about to wait for her to close the door before leaving, when suddenly there was a sound of knocking bamboo sticks at the end of the alley. Hit again and again, hit many times in a row, knock, knock; Knock, knock!

Mingyue poked her head and said, "It's the second watch." ”

Five watches a night, the beating sound of each watch is different, and the knockdown is a slow and a fast, three times in a row, and now it can be beaten, it is exactly two watches. She wanted Su Yunkai to go back quickly, but she saw that his expression was different, as if he was pondering something, and she didn't bother for a while. waited until he frowned slightly, and then said, "What's wrong?" ”

Su Yun said slowly, "We always thought that there were no witnesses, because no one would walk on the street in the middle of the night. But if it is a husband, it is possible that he has seen a suspicious person. Ge Cheng said that he left before he was in Yin, and if he happened to be seen by his husband, then he could completely clear his suspicion. ”

Hearing this very likely evidence, Mingyue thought of another point, and was already a little irrepressible excited, "And judging from the autopsy, the female shopkeeper died after Yinshi, that is to say, it is very likely that the husband even saw the murderer." ”

Su Yunkai immediately said, "I'll go find Lord Qin and ask him to find all the guards who are in charge of the guard near Baibaozhen." ”

Mingyue wanted to go along, but was stopped by Su Yunkai. Thinking that he was already unimpeded on the Yamen's side, and he didn't need her to open the way, he stopped his steps and waited for the dawn to see him again.
