Chapter Twenty-Eight: Two Murders

The "quiet place" that Fu Changsha found for Wen Sheng was a small cross-courtyard in Baifu. p>

A large room was left with only a table and a couch, and all other things were moved out, and there were maids to serve them for eating and washing, and there were people guarding the courtyard gate without disturbing them, so that Wen Sheng could concentrate on sorting out the scraps of paper. p>

Wen Sheng asked Fu Changsha to help send a message to his uncle Li Rong, saying that she had something to go back in a few days, and told the family, especially the Li family, not to worry. p>

As for what the Li family will think when they hear it, she can't care so much. p>

To classify nearly 1,000 pieces of different sizes into more than a dozen ink paintings, this job is really beyond the reach of Fu Changsha, they are all the same drawing paper, the edges of each piece are very neat, there is no way to put it right, just look at the direction of the pen and ink between the square inches, and pick up the two at random There is often only a slight difference, and it is impossible for anyone to do it. p>

For Wen Sheng, this is also a rather exhausting matter. p>

Even though she consciously knew Bai Linyuan's painting style very well, at the beginning, she would sit in front of a few similar pieces for most of the day, and she felt that she had nowhere to start. p>

Bai Dianshi was very busy, his son's funeral had to be done, and there were still a lot of things to deal with in the yamen, and when he heard Fu Changsha's report that day, he wanted to listen to what Wen Sheng wanted to say to himself at Wen Sheng's request, but he didn't find time until Wen Sheng stayed for two or three days. p>

On this day, he had a long conversation with the county commander Zhu Hong in the county office, and returned home in a hurry, his son had not been buried for the first seven years, and the family was gloomy, and there were cries from time to time, Bai Shiyuan was hovering in his heart with the words that Zhu Hong had just said, only to feel physically and mentally exhausted, and he didn't even have the strength to move, and suddenly remembered the strange Gu girl who crossed the courtyard. p>

What's the use of putting those broken paintings together? p>

But no matter what, she still insists on doing something for Linyuan, no one will be cold as soon as the tea leaves, which is stronger than most people in the world. Lin Yuan, the kid, was dead-eyed, and he recognized that no matter how others persuaded him, the nine cows couldn't be pulled back, but he didn't expect to have some eyesight to make friends. p>

He suppressed his sadness and came to the cross-courtyard, and asked the maid to go in first to inform him. p>

Wen Sheng greeted him at the door and invited him in. p>

The couch was covered with black and white scraps of paper, and there was no place to sit. p>

Wen Sheng asked the maid to move a chair for Bai Dianshi, and as soon as Bai Shiyuan came in, he noticed that there were more than a dozen blank pieces of drawing paper on the ground, and several of them were densely packed with many pieces fixed with fine needles, and there were more than a dozen pieces, which were put together tightly, and what was painted on the painting had begun to be seen. p>

"You...... Already spelled out so much? Bai Shiyuan was taken aback, and hurriedly leaned over to take a closer look, the paintings were painted by his son, nothing special, the difficult thing was to find them one by one...... He turned his head to look at Wen Sheng, only then did he notice that the other party's eyes were red, and his face was not quite right, obviously he had not rested much in order to put together these paintings. p>

Bai Shiyuan felt that he still neglected this Gu girl. p>

Wen Sheng didn't care what Bai Shiyuan thought, she pointed to the painting that had been put together the most, and explained: "It's a fluke, this painting Young Master Bai once showed me. ”p>

She paused, remembering the purpose of meeting Bai Shiyuan a few days ago: "Bai Dian Shi, I want to know if the paintings that Ling Gongzi painted before are still there?" If not, can you take me to see it? ”p>

Bai Shiyuan said: "Lin Yuan takes his paintings very seriously, others are not allowed to touch them, and the paintings have been kept in recent years, but some time ago I found a famous senior in the painting world to help him take a look, and the person had a very low evaluation of his paintings...... It should all be. ”p>

Just when the maid came in, Bai Shiyuan ordered her to call the scholar who had been with Bai Linyuan before. p>

Wen Sheng asked Bai Shiyuan, what progress has been made on Bai Linyuan's case in the past few days? She knew that the bounty for the capture of the murderer had already been posted, and the reward was quite a lot. p>

Bai Shiyuan sighed, he remembered Zhu Hong's words again, his heart was depressed, and he couldn't help but tell the truth: "It's been a few days, and there are no useful clues. The county can't draw so many people, Fu Zhutou and they can't keep an eye on his case, and Lin Yuan's murder is likely to become a headless case. ”p>

Wen Sheng was surprised: "How is it possible? ”p>

Bai Shiyuan is a classic history, nominally the "Four Masters", but the real power is only under the county order, Bai Linyuan This matter should be effective for everyone in public and private. p>

Bai Shiyuan looked sad: "It's okay to say to you, Mr. Shouyang was assassinated before, and he said that he was injured but he died on the spot." This matter was temporarily concealed by the General's Mansion because of its great impact, and both the General's Mansion and the Lishui County Ya were already anxious for this. The records of the General's Mansion are staring at the county lord every day, Fu Zhutou and they have been checking it for me for so many days under pressure, how can I be a strong person in my little history? ”p>

Wen Sheng was stunned, yes, even his grandfather, as the head of the Gu family, had the helplessness to return to heaven and die as a martyr, not to mention Bai Shiyuan? p>

She thought for a while, raised her head, and looked firm: "Have you ever thought that these two murders are very closely related, and compared to the clueless situation of Mr. Shouyang's assassination, it is better for us to start here." ”p>

Bai Shiyuan was stunned for a moment, and then understood what the other party meant: "You mean to link Lin Yuan's death with the assassination of Mr. Shouyang, those soldiers will not only not hinder our investigation, but will also fully cooperate!" But if the two have nothing to do with each other, the arrest of Mr. Shouyang's murderer ...... "P> will be delayed

He hesitated here, and Wen Sheng said lightly: "I only know Bai Linyuan, and I don't know which Mr. Shouyang is." I don't think Mr. Shouyang's life is more noble than Lin Yuan. ”p>

This was the first time she had called Bai Linyuan so affectionately, or in front of his father. But Bai Shiyuan didn't care about this, he was so shocked by Wen Sheng that he couldn't speak. p>

He thought to himself, "Yes, why would my son have to make way for others?" I am Linyuan's father, I don't want to go up for him, who else can I count on! He didn't have time to reflect on his habit formed by decades of immersion in the power field, and immediately made up his mind: "I'll go to Fu Zhutou and tell the county Zun Chen together." ”p>

Wen Sheng nodded: "That's exactly how it should be." "Fu Changsha has a close relationship with the Bai family, that person is experienced, but I am afraid that as soon as Bai Shiyuan says it, he will not only echo it, but also help find the words. Just as he guessed on the boat at that time, Bai Lin saw something killed and killed on the Golden Hook River, which was only a few miles away from the Zhuangzi of the General's Mansion...... p>

At this time, Bai Linyuan's scholar arrived, and Bai Shiyuan ordered a few words, asking him to take Wen Sheng to see the paintings painted by the young master. p>

Bai Shiyuan came back to his senses in a trance for a long time after Wen Sheng left, and suddenly realized that in this half-day conversation, he completely ignored the fact that the other party was a woman. p>
