"Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me."

Su Jinshi's face was a little bad, but he also understood what he meant, although they had a few faces, they were not familiar, this Lu Ning looked like a cold person, he was not very surprised to have this meaning, but he didn't expect him to say it so bluntly.

Lu Ning saw that Su Jin no longer spoke, so he continued to practice his sword, and there was a ruthlessness in every move.

Su Jinshi sighed, but he didn't leave, but sat on the steps and watched him practice his sword, silently remembering his moves in his heart.

After watching for a while, Tang Yaxin also went out, and when she saw Su Jinshi, she watched Lu Ning practice swords, so she also sat next to Su Jinshi, and said with a smile: "Do you think he is very powerful?" ”

Su Jinshi smiled and said without hesitation, "Yes, I just asked him for a few tricks, but he refused to teach me, I thought that after separating from you, there would be no man by my side with Nian Su, so I wanted to learn a few tricks, and it would be a little useful then." ”

Su Jinshi thought that Tang Yaxin would help her persuade Lu Ning, but Tang Yaxin smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Lu Ning is like this, you just don't care about him." ”

Su Jinshi pursed her lips, she didn't continue to dwell on this topic, she looked at Lu Ning's moves carefully, silently gestured in her heart, and said, "Don't look at it, go have breakfast, starve to death!" ”

Tang Yaxin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, nodded, and left with Su Jinshi.

Not long after they left, Lu Ning put away his sword and looked in the direction where Su Jinshi had left for a long time.

**

After breakfast, Nian Su arranged Xiaodouzi to the housekeeper in the house, and went out with Su Jinshi.

It was still five people acting together, and yesterday Tang Mingze learned some news about the previous case from Gu Mingde, and several people planned to investigate some things about the previous case.

Because a similar case has been a few years ago, and Gu Mingde has only been an official here for a year or two, many details are not very clear.

And the previous one paid Chen Yuanting to retire for half a year and retire in the Windy City, and the group knew about Chen Yuanting's residence after a little inquiry.

Because Chen Yuanting was an official, his family background was not good, and he lived in the same house as ordinary people.

The five of them came to Chen Yuanting's place, but saw that he had gray sideburns and was drying things in the garden.

Su Jinshi looked around quietly, this house was a very ordinary house, what interested her was Chen Yuanting's neighbor, the owner seemed to be Lang Zhong, there were some herbs drying in the yard, and there was some faint smell of medicine in the air.

Old Chen is old, his body is still very strong, and he is full of energy when he speaks.

"So you're here to find out about the case."

When Chen Lao spoke, his white beard curled up, and his eyes were very attentive, Su Jinshi suddenly thought of Su Xin, and she remembered that Su Xin was like this when he spoke.

The beard is curled and the beard is very interesting.

At this moment, Tang Mingze and the others had already followed Chen Lao into the house, and Su Jinshi also quickened her pace and walked into the house, but when she walked to the door, she always felt that someone was staring at her, she turned around and looked around, but she didn't see anyone.

"Jinshi, come in quickly!" Tang Yaxin shouted towards the door.

Su Jinshi frowned and trotted into the house.

The group came to Chen Lao's study, this room is not big, but the study is extremely spacious, Su Jinshi asked casually, but Chen Lao sighed with a smile, "I'm used to it, and some can't change it." ”

Chen Lao walked to a summer vacation, took out some things, but did not give them to Tang Mingze immediately, put them on the table, he said: "Although your intention has been revealed, and there are also official documents from Master Gu as evidence, but these are already the final evidence, if these are lost, the grievances of those girls in the past will no longer be able to be settled." ”

Su Jinshi looked at Chen Yuanting, only to see that his face was solemn, and he also sighed in his heart, this old Chen really thought about the people.

I only heard Tang Mingze say: "My lord, just rest assured, we will definitely solve this case." ”

Chen Lao shook his head, "Someone once said this to me, but in the end it was a void, this is the last evidence, I must keep it, so let's do it, a few of you can copy these things here, and there are quite a few of you, and it won't take too much time." ”

When Tang Mingze heard this, he immediately frowned, "Lord Chen, this ...... We have other things to investigate, and if we spend so much time here, I'm afraid it will be ......."

Old Chen glared at Tang Mingze, and the beard on his mouth turned up again, "I'm afraid of what?" I'm afraid the murderer will run away? He hasn't run away for so many years, and he still cares about this time? ”

Tang Mingze was silent, but Su Jinshi couldn't help laughing, this old man was still a little interesting.

In fact, they do not have any clues about the murderer now, the biggest clue is about Chen Lao, if he deliberately wants to grind time, they have no choice.

Tang Yaxin was a little angry when she heard this, she was just about to step forward to speak, but was caught by Lu Ning, Lu Ning shook her head slightly, and Tang Yaxin took a step back unwillingly.

Su Jinshi Yuguang saw this scene, raised his eyebrows, and did not speak.

Seeing the hesitant looks of several people, Chen Lao snorted coldly, picked up those things, turned around and put them on the table.

Seeing this, Tang Mingze sighed, "Lord Chen, you bring the things, let's copy them." ”

"Brother!" Tang Yaxin shouted with some dissatisfaction.

Chen Lao frowned and looked at Tang Yaxin, and said, "It seems that someone doesn't want to copy it, so it's okay, I'll take the things back, so you can go too." ”

Seeing Old Chen's attitude, Tang Mingze hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "Master Chen, don't be angry, my sister has been spoiled for a long time, if you offend, I apologize here." ”

At the foot of the steps, Chen Lao put down his things, he took out all the pen and paper, and said, "Just copy it here." ”

Tang Mingze didn't say much, stepped forward, picked up those things and distributed them, because she didn't know how to read, he asked her to sharpen the ink, and the other four were assigned tasks.

Su Jinshi, Tang Mingze and Lu Ning didn't say a word, and started to write directly, but Tang Yaxin was still a little depressed, holding a pen, and writing was very weak.

The four of them wrote together, and it was quickly completed, and after this copying, several people had a new understanding of the case.

Chen Lao's intentions, Su Jinshi can understand a thing or two, he asked them to copy, probably to let them understand the case more deeply, I have to say, although this method is very time-consuming, it is excellent.

Su Jinshi only copied a quarter, and the content was not much, she turned her head and asked Tang Mingze, "What have you learned?" ”

Tang Mingze smiled, but he didn't speak, he put down the pen, walked to Chen Lao's side, hugged his fist at him, and said with a smile: "Chen Lao has good intentions, but the younger generation misunderstood." ”

Chen Lao glanced at him, his nose was out of breath, and he only said, "Let's leave quickly after copying." ”

Su Jinshi and Nian Su sorted out the excerpts, and after hearing this, a few people were not ambiguous, took the things and thanked them and left.

As far as Su Jinshi just excerpted, it is not difficult to see that these cases have one thing in common, the victims are all widows of Windy City, and the strange thing is that these widows have a good reputation.

On the way back, Tang Mingze and Lu Ning also said what they found, but it was the same as what Su Jinshi thought.

It's just that she's a little strange, if it's a widow with bad conduct, these widows have a good reputation, plus the victim this time, although the victim's mother-in-law said that it was not good, but from the description of the neighborhood, this person also has a good reputation.

This suspicion is naturally not only her doubts, Tang Mingze and Lu Ning can't figure it out.

Although there are more clues, they still don't know anything about the murderer.

At this time, Tang Yaxin, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said: "I seem to have seen a portrait of a murderer......

Tang Mingze stopped and said a little loudly: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"I see that you are very attentive to your own business, so I didn't say anything, and besides, the portrait of the murderer is ambiguous and does not play a role." Tang Yaxin's voice was a little weak.

Lu Ning said in a deep voice: "Miss, have you ever painted it?" ”

Tang Yaxin nodded slightly, and whispered: "The painting is a painting, but I don't paint it well, the portrait of the murderer is not distinctive, plus my painting is ......."

Tang Mingze held his forehead, he knew what Tang Yaxin's painting skills were, he sighed, "Well, if the portrait of this murderer was useful, the murderer would have been caught a long time ago, how could there be another murder." ”

Su Jinshi also thought so, but Lu Ning was obsessed with asking for the picture in Tang Yaxin's hand, and Tang Yaxin had no choice but to take out the picture he had drawn.

Su Jinshi leaned over to take a look, but couldn't help but eliminate his voice, this level was almost the same as her......

Shouldn't this ancient lady be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? How is this Tang Yaxin different?

Tang Mingze and Su Jinshi couldn't bear to look directly at her painting, only Lu Ning looked at it seriously, he frowned and seemed to be able to see the original portrait from this painting.

After a long time, Lu Ning said, "I seem to have seen this person." ”

Tang Mingze's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked, "Are you sure?" Yaxin said that this portrait is featureless, and the government has been looking for it for so long but has not been able to find it, have you really seen it? ”

Lu Ning nodded, "I've seen this person, but I can't remember where I've seen it." ”

Su Jinshi was a little suspicious, but she didn't say it, she looked at Lu Ning and Tang Yaxin quietly, she always felt that there was something between these two people.

"Yaxin's paintings are only understood by you." Tang Mingze laughed, and his mood was very happy.

Tang Yaxin's face was a little red, and she turned her head to look at the other side, while the corners of Lu Ning's mouth rose slightly.
