Chapter 50

At night, the moon is bright and the breeze is gentle.

Deng Si'er, who had just eaten dinner, sat at the table very comfortably, listening to the conversation between Chu Jing and Zuo Idiot with his ears sideways while drinking hot tea, and glanced at him from time to time.

Suddenly, Deng Si'er didn't know what he heard, and choked on a mouthful of water and almost squirted out.

"What!? You said you were going to visit the Song Mansion at night in two days? ”

Deng Si'er stood up and exclaimed.

Zuo Idiot has long been accustomed to Deng Si'er's often babbling behavior, and now he just waved his hand at Deng Si'er and motioned for Deng Si'er to sit down.

Deng Si'er hurriedly sat down on the stool, but he approached Zuo Idiot and said:

"Exploring the Song Mansion at night? Why is that? ”

Zuo Idiot glanced at Deng Si'er with a smile and said:

"Haven't you always wondered what I was doing yesterday? Do you remember what Qiu Qi said when he came to us? ”

Deng Si'er was stunned when he heard this, and immediately recalled that when they had just come back from Song Yuqiu, Qiu Qi had indeed come to look for them.

"What did Qiu Qi say? Could it be about Gao Qianli? Deng Si'er said strangely.

Zuo Idiot nodded and said:

"That's right, Qiu Qi once said that after Gao Qianli unfortunately drowned, he went to Gao Qianli's room to pack up his old things, but found that an unidentified person happened to be in Gao Qianli's room, and it seemed that he was looking for something."

Zuo Idiot paused and continued:

"So, I personally went to Gao Qianli's room yesterday, and after carefully rummaging, I found this."

Zuo Idiot said and took out a piece of rope tassel, which seems to be the rope tassel that ordinary people will use to decorate personal items such as jade pendants around their waists, but it seems to have been torn apart, and there are no jade pendants and other objects.

Deng Si'er took the rope tassel from Zuo's idiot's hand, and said while observing:

"Is this a tall thousand miles? You sons and scholars are poor and exquisite, and you love to bring some jade pendants or other gadgets, and you are not too troublesome. ”

"It's not a tall thing." Zuo Idiot took back the rope tassel from Deng Si'er's hand, and said:

"Originally, I thought that this thing belonged to Gao Qianli, so I took this rope and asked Qiu Qi, who was good friends with Gao Qianli."

"You went to ask Qiu Qi? What did Qiu Qi say? Deng Si'er heard that Zuo Idiot went to find Qiu Qi and asked curiously.

"Qiu Qi told me some things about Gao Qianli, but he can tell me for sure that Gao Qianli has no preference for wearing jade pendants and other pendants."

"And whose thing is this?" Deng Si'er looked at the rope tassel in Zuo's hand and asked again.

"Zuo idiot has talked about this, you still don't understand? Where is the usual cleverness? Chu Jing interjected on the side at this time.

Deng Si'er glared at Chu Jing dissatisfiedly when he heard this, and muttered:

"Who told you to go out without me? If I go out with you, do I need you to tell me? I can find out for myself. ”

"You check? You can't even figure out what the idiot said, what are you looking for? Chu Jing looked at Deng Si'er's appearance and teased with a smile.

Deng Si'er looked at the expression of the situation, and his heart was so suffocated that his face turned red, and he said angrily:

"Who says I can't figure it out?"

"Then tell me about it." Chu Jing said again.

"Just say it." Deng Si'er was more energetic, his eyes rolled twice, and after thinking about it, he said to Chu Jing and Zuo Idiot:

"Didn't Lord Zuo just want to say that since that rope spike is not Gao Qianli's own, it must be someone else's."

"That's right, you go on."

Hearing this, Chu Jing glanced at the Zuo idiot next to him, and saw that the Zuo idiot also looked a little expectant, and couldn't help but encourage Deng Si'er with a smile.

"I guess what Lord Zuo meant just now should be to say that the rope tassel was the one who sneaked into Gao Qianli's room to rummage over things, and unfortunately it was seen by Qiu Qi, who wanted to clean up the house, and when he injured Qiu Qi, he accidentally dropped this rope tassel."

After Deng Si'er finished speaking, he looked at Chu Jing triumphantly, tilted his head and glanced at Zuo Idiot, and said in his heart, that's all, it's not difficult for the master, the master is smart!

After that, I heard two words from Zuo Qi's mouth rarely:

"Not bad."

Deng Si'er looked at Chu Jing and waited for him to speak.

Chu Jing said with a smile:

"Yes, there is progress."

"Hmph" Deng Si'er snorted lightly when he heard this, but he thought of something again, and asked Xiang Zuo and Chu Jing:

"Since the words have come to this, what did Lord Zuo mean just now is that the person who sneaked into Gao Qianli's room is related to Song Yuqiu?"

"Then you should ask Uncle Jing." Zuo Idiot turned his head to look at Chu Jing and said.

Deng Si'er also looked at Chu Jing with Zuo's idiot's gaze, not understanding why he asked Chu Jing this question.

Seeing that Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing were getting along more and more tacitly, Deng Si'er muttered dissatisfiedly in his heart:

One day, he wants you to see his Deng Si'er's ability, not only can you investigate the case, but he Deng Si'er can also, the key is that he will definitely not lose!

When Chu Jing had just finished eating, he reached over and took the rope tassel in Zuo's hand, stretched it out in front of Deng Si'er, and said with a smile:

"Deng Si'er, smell it, is this smell familiar?"

Deng Si'er glanced at Chu Jing suspiciously, leaned over and sniffed twice, and said while identifying the smell:

"Don't tell me, I think I've really smelled something like this somewhere."

"Isn't it like wine?" Chu Jing asked.

"Kind of like that."

"Did you just drink it the other day?" Chu Jing asked again.

Deng Si'er sniffed twice vigorously when he heard this, thought carefully for a long time, and suddenly said in surprise:

"That's right, that's it, the kind of wine I drank at Song Yuqiu's house a few days ago is made of osmanthus! That's right, it's osmanthus stuffed. ”

Immediately, Deng Si'er frowned and looked at Chu Jing and said:

"Could it be that based on this, you suspect that the person who sneaked into Gao Qianli's room is related to Song Yuqiu?"

This time it was the turn of the left idiot to say:

"It can only be said that Song Yuqiu is very suspicious, since Gao Qianli is the leader of the entire potion transaction, it is impossible for Song Yuqiu, who also has a lot to do with the potion transaction, not to know Gao Qianli's true identity."

"Zuo Idiot is right, maybe there is something in Gao Qianli's hand that Song Yuqiu wanted but didn't get, but as soon as Gao Qianli died, he had no goal, so he could only go to Gao Qianli's room to try his luck." Chu Jing continued.

"What does that have to do with osmanthus brewing?" Deng Si'er asked puzzled.

"This kind of osmanthus brewing is not easy to make, so you have to be more careful when storing it, and it must be stored in a cool but not humid place. In the past few days, I have sent people to investigate the layout of the Song Mansion, and there is indeed such a warehouse, but there is one thing that makes me very strange. ”

"What?" Deng Si'er looked at Chu Jing with a puzzled face and asked.

"According to my description, Song Yuqiu is a good wine, in order to facilitate storage, Song Yuqiu specially ordered someone to build a warehouse, which is very large, but there are only three jars of osmanthus wine." Chu Jing's eyes narrowed slightly when he said this.

"Three altars? Such a large warehouse only has three jars of wine? ”

Hearing this, Zuo Idiot couldn't help but tap his knuckles on the table, and said inexplicably for a long time:

"It seems that since this warehouse is not used to store wine, there is another way!"

If osmanthus brewing is just a gimmick to cover people's ears, then what is the real purpose of this warehouse?

For the trip to visit the Song Mansion at night two days later, the three of them couldn't help but start looking forward to it.
