Next. North of Tokyo, Corning Place.

After inquiring about the address of the Guan family with Ma Huaibang, Sun Tu wanted to come to the door to inquire about the details of the case from Guan Si's family, and maybe he could find out the whereabouts of the abductors. To his surprise, Ma Huaibang actually followed, and he seemed to have the intention of making up for his mistakes.

When a group of several people appeared in the alley where the Guan family lived in Kangning Fang, the surrounding people looked at them with a little cringe, and many of them ran back to their homes directly, and closed the door tightly, as if they were afraid of what these public men would do to them.

Sun Tu frowned slightly when he saw this, and glanced at Ma Huaibang: "Has the government sent someone here to disturb him before?" ”

"This ...... Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, because Guan Laohan always went to the yamen to complain, which made a group of officials unbearable, so he asked the little ones to come here to teach a few lessons. Ma Huaibang explained in a whisper, and then pointed to the front and said, "Then the last courtyard is the Guan family." ”

The north of the city is much poorer than the east of the city, and the houses in a few alleys are generally not big, and the Guan family's residence is much larger than the surrounding people, and the neighbors are more separated, obviously the family is well-off. At Sun Tu's signal, Gao Shan stepped forward and patted the door, and shouted: "Guan Si, Kaifeng Mansion has come to ask about the case, but is anyone at home?" ”

But he screamed a few times, but there was no response from it, which surprised several people, especially Ma Huaibang frowned and said: "It doesn't make sense, he hasn't been to Kaifeng Mansion recently, is he leaving here?" ”

After making a few more calls and still no response, Sun Tu's face also sank, but he didn't have a seizure, he just gave Tang Feng a look, the latter understood, and immediately took a few steps back, jumped up, and climbed over the courtyard wall that was one person high, and opened the door from the inside after a while.

"Sun Guanren, isn't this okay? How can we say that this is also a common people's house, even if we are officials, we can't break in at will without the unity of the master. Seeing this, Ma Huaibang said with some worry.

"I suspect that something happened to the Guan family, so I am in a hurry." Sun Tu said that he had already taken the lead and walked into the courtyard, and at the same time his eyes swept around to see if there was any problem. Ma Huaibang was stunned: "This is impossible, Xu is afraid of being blamed by my government, so he avoided the city." ”

"No, Guan Si has grievances to be washed, and his granddaughter has not been found, how can he leave Tokyo? Besides, don't you think we come in a little differently? After Sun Tu checked, he found that there was nothing wrong with the surroundings.

"Please forgive me for being stupid."

"We let Tang Feng open the door through the wall, which means that this door is locked from the inside, can anyone in the world lock the door like this after leaving home? Does he have to climb over the wall from the courtyard again? ”

"This ...... It's kind of weird. ”

Sun Tu sneered, then walked to the front of the hall facing the door, pushed the door open and looked inside, but found that everything inside was in order, and there was nothing unusual to see. At the same time, the subordinates who had already searched the other rooms separately also came back one after another to report: "Dutou, there is nothing unusual inside and outside this Guan family, it seems that he really left home suddenly." ”

"Are there no signs of a fight?" After seeing his subordinates shaking their heads, Sun Tu fell into deep thought, and only said after a while: "Let's go, go to other rooms to have a look." ”

On the side and behind is the bedroom of several members of the Guan family, and it is indeed different from what others have reported, the things inside, whether it is a bed, a table, a chair, or a cup, a plate, a vase, or something are all in place, placed in an orderly manner, and there is no sign of anyone fighting here at all. Anyway, the whole courtyard gives the impression that it is surprisingly neat, just like the rich family courtyard that is often sprinkled and cleaned but uninhabited.

But when things go wrong, there must be demons, but Sun Tu found it more and more strange here: "No, something must have happened to the Guan family, everything here was deliberately arranged by someone." ”

"Huh? How is this possible? Ma Huaibang said with some trepidation. And Sun Tu's last sentence was even more moving: "And judging from the methods of dealing with the aftermath, the people who are not good for the Guan family are still quite familiar with the government, knowing that we may come here to inquire, and they are worried about revealing flaws, so they brought us such a play, so that people can't see any problems." ”

"This ...... Could it be that Sun Guanren, you suspect that this is the work of someone in our official mansion? This is impossible, even if we are dissatisfied with the Guan family, we will not do this. Ma Huaibang said it categorically.

"Yes or no, ask the neighbors before you have the answer." As Sun Tu spoke, he gestured to Tang Feng and them, and several subordinates understood, and immediately went out to the neighbor's house to inquire about the news.

After waiting for a while, a man was pulled over by Gao Shanqiang, seeing that his expression was obviously a little flustered, and seeing Sun Tu, he buried his head even lower: "The official spares his life, the little one is just a good citizen, but he has never thought of embarrassing the government, and he has nothing to do with this Guan family......

"Don't be afraid, this official just wants to ask you a few questions, and he won't harm you." Sun Tu hurriedly relieved himself, and then asked the man to sit down and talk, and the other party calmed down a little, but he only dared to put the half-fart on the edge of the chair, looking like he was about to run at any time.

"Let me ask you, the people in this alley looked terrified when they saw me coming, but was it because a public servant had come here to make trouble before?"

"This ...... Positively, exactly. At that time, some neighbors wanted to say a few words for Guan Sijia, but they were reprimanded. ”

"Is it just because of this?" Sun Tu asked suspiciously.

"And then there'...... No one has come out since the Mid-Autumn Festival night, I'm afraid of it, I'm afraid it's ......" This one said a little bit at the end.

"Afraid of what?" Sun Tu hurriedly asked.

"I'm afraid that the people of his family have been taken down by the government, which makes me dare to embarrass the government again." Speaking of this, the other party stood up again, and repeatedly apologized: "It's too much to say, and I ask the official to forgive ......"

Sun Tu also got up and helped him: "You don't have to panic, as long as you tell the truth, I will never blame anyone." So in your opinion, the Guan family was taken by the government, so why they are so afraid? ”

"Yes, exactly." This one finally understood a little: "Isn't it? How is this possible, how can the family suddenly disappear after only one night's work. ”

"Yes, this thing is really strange, the Guan family disappeared overnight, and the official was also deeply puzzled." Sun Tu said with some confusion, and then his eyes fell on Ma Huaibang again. The latter spoke again: "Dutou, the lowly position dares to guarantee that it will never be that the people of my Kaifeng Mansion are unfavorable to him, otherwise the lowly position cannot be ignorant." Besides, they are not actually guilty, so how can we arrest them for anything? ”

"Yes, but if it hadn't been for the government, the matter would have been even more serious. Overnight, all members of the family disappeared without a trace, it can't be that they were captured by gods and ghosts, right? Have you really not heard any movement? The latter question was naturally the neighbor.

The other party frowned and recalled, and then shook his head: "Everyone went to the street on Mid-Autumn Night, so I really don't know anything." The only thing I know is that I haven't seen the Guan family open the door since, and I haven't seen anyone from his family come out. ”

Sun Tu groaned for a while before he spoke: "By the way, have you heard anything about the abduction of your granddaughter that the Guan family investigated before?" When he said this, his face was still slightly red, as a person in the government, he still had to ask ordinary people for clues when there was a case.

The other party was stunned again, and then shook his head a little blankly: "Although this matter is small, I don't know it, but I haven't studied it deeply." I only know one thing, that Guan Da had a dispute with some people before he died, and then he stopped it. And not long after, he was found floating in the Bianhe River......" and sighed.

"He fell into the water after being drunk, so it shouldn't have anything to do with the previous dispute, right?" Ma Huaibang said casually. The other party's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "This is not right, that Guan Da has always been drunk, how can he be drunk and stumble?" ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Are you sure? Sun Tu quickly asked.

"The little one can remember clearly, although this Guan family started in the wine business, but Guan Da can't drink alcohol when he is small, even when he got married, he didn't drink two glasses and poured it, how could he be drunk at that time?"

Sun Tu's expression suddenly became serious, and he glanced at Ma Huaibang: "So Guan Sisue is good, not only his granddaughter was abducted, but even his son was killed!" Coupled with the current situation here, the Guan family has been killed by thieves! ”

Ma Huaibang wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't get out. And Sun Tu quickly had another idea: "You go to the kitchen to look for it, do you have vinegar, take it all." ”

Although he didn't understand what he wanted to do, someone hurried out and went to the kitchen to get a gourd of vinegar. Sun Tu said to the man again: "It's hard for you, go to the house and ask for some vinegar from other neighbors, I'll be useful." ”

When everyone took several catties of vinegar and looked at Sun Tu with puzzlement, he asked people to splash the vinegar on the ground of the Guan family's hall and several bedrooms. The men complied, despite their doubts, and after a while of busyness, the vinegar was splashed on the floor, filling the room with a sour smell.

Afterwards, Sun Tu asked them to take care of each house with him to see if there was any change in the ground. After a while, someone came to report: "Dutou, the ground in the main house over there suddenly changed color......

As soon as Sun Tu heard this, he hurriedly rushed over from the hall, and after seeing the obvious change in color on the ground after being soaked in vinegar, his expression changed: "I'm afraid there has really been a murder here, and Guan Si's family may have been poisoned!" ”
