At this time, the three of them could hear the voice of an old mother in it. Tang Anguo became more and more anxious, biting his lip and not knowing what to do. Jing Mo knew that Nie Xiaoman's words were just a plan to indulge in the past, but the situation was very urgent at this time, and Tang Anguo might be able to fake it, and Jing Mo had to break the siege.

Jing Mo said: "Since Mr. Tang Qian hasn't known about this matter, I don't know if it is an obstacle to Brother An Guo and Miss Shang's private affairs?" ”

Tang Anguo hurriedly replied in a low voice: "I don't want to explain it to my father for the time being." It's best not to meet with him, and I'll discuss it with you later. ”

Tang Anguo hurriedly opened the door of the second room, stepped into the hall, and waved his hand vigorously to the old woman who was about to walk out of the hall to open the front door. Nie Xiaoman walked into the hall with a donkey, and spoke to Tang Anguo in a low voice.

Xiao Man said: "In that case, let's go through the back door." Later, if you want to talk to us, please come and stop here. ”

Xiao Man gave Tang Anguo the address of Gluttonous Cat Zhai, and then beckoned to Jing Mo, and the two of them hurriedly walked to the back of the hall. The scholar also followed the two of them as if they were sending off guests. He sent it to the door and said another word to Nie Xiaoman: "Brother Ma, it's best to ask you to think of a way to deal with it for the time being." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll do my best."

Xiaoman and Jingmo walked out of Daguang Road and stepped on the street of Laifeng Street, Nie Xiaoman smiled slightly and said, "Jingmo, your side drum is playing very skillfully today!" I haven't practiced with you beforehand, but you can adapt to the situation, I think you are getting more and more sophisticated. ”

Jing Mo replied with a smile: "I really admire your 'acting' skills." This kid has been deceived by you into submission! ”

Nie Xiaoman suddenly frowned and said, "This can't be said to be 'acting', this is 'power change'." For we do not do evil with a mask, but with a good deed. There is a fundamental difference in this. ”

"Hahahaha, look at you, you're serious again! I'm just joking. But why don't you use your contingency skills to the end? Was your last self-disclosure because you were not prepared in a hurry? “

Xiaoman smiled: "Do you mean that I inadvertently leaked my real address?" No, no, I told him on purpose. You must know that this method of contingency can only be used for a short time, not to mention that he would probably have come to see us. Even if I don't tell the truth, he might even deduce it. On the other hand, I expected him to come and discuss the aftermath with me. I'm going to take a look at Feng Zizhou's side now. You might as well just come to my house and wait, I expect the boy to come to me soon." ”

"How sure are you?"

"Yes, I believe that the more he thinks about it now, the more scared he becomes, and he is about to find it."

"How so?"

"The main points of the incident have been leaked from his conversation. He couldn't help but come for the sake of his own safety and for the sake of covering his lover. ”

Jing Mo was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "What point did he miss?" Did he admit to the hired man? ”

"Yes, he went to the Tuas Tea Pavilion to hire a servant, apparently at the behest of his lover Miss Shang, probably in the first letter sent by Qiangdong. But Jin Chuan has such instructions, which is clear evidence of covering up criminal acts. Although he vaguely admitted that it was his own idea just now, he could not justify himself. So he is an irreparable hole for himself and for his lover. ”

"So, he first said that he had never been to Shang's house beforehand, do you think this is true?"

There's no reason to lie, he doesn't happen to have anything to do with it, but he must know it. So if he wants to cover his lover and fix this loophole, he may come to me. If he doesn't come, I won't abandon this clue. Now you can go back to the cat fast, and I will be back soon. ”

After Jing Mo and Nie Xiaoman broke up, they remembered that the monks in Jiming Temple had not yet gone to investigate. It's not far from Jiming Temple, so it's better to take the opportunity to explore, maybe you can get some additional clues.

Because Jing Mo was not as sure as Nie Xiaoman was that Tang An would immediately rush to Nie Xiaoman's mansion, Jing Mo thought that instead of going to his study by himself, he would do some real investigations.

Unexpectedly, the hope of this trip was completely disappointed. Jingmo found that the host of Jiming Temple was called Guangji, but he didn't go to the Shang family's funeral merit that night, so Su Jingmo naturally couldn't speak. Later, he went to call a young monk who had been to Shang's house that night to come, but in fact, he only had a few perfunctory words with Jing Mo.

Jingmo asked several questions, but only got answers such as "Donor, I don't know" and "Donor, this is nothing". Jing Mo touched his nose and dust, and had the intention to show the waist card of the 'Zhenfu Division' to help a few thieves loosen their muscles and bones, but he still held back, and now he really doesn't have the kung fu to clean up people.

When he came back from the temple, Jingmo, who was a little lost, unexpectedly heard a crisp call coming from behind him.

"Brother Su, where are you going?"

Jing Mo was overjoyed, and when he looked back, it was the round-faced maid Liu Qing again. She still wears an eggplant purple round-necked and narrow-sleeved dress, a long light green skirt and a large scarf around her waist, but there is a small basket made of bamboo strips in her hand. ”

Jingmo couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he stopped and responded: "Miss Liu Qing, it's you, have you ever seen Chunlan?" ”

It's a pity that she still shook her head and said, "No, Brother Su, do you want to find Chunlan after all, or do you want to inquire about the Shang family?" ”

Jing Mo couldn't help but be surprised, sure enough, it was a good practice in the mansion, this kid was only at a young age, and he had already practiced into a genius who could see and distinguish colors, and it seemed that his disguise really didn't have much effect.

Jing Mo smiled helplessly, simply stood on the side of the street, and beckoned her to come to his side.

Jing Mo said in a low voice. "Miss Liu Qing, you are so smart, I really want to inquire about the affairs of the Shang family. If you have anything to tell me, I will thank you very much. ”

The girl's eyes glanced at Jing Mo from the corner of her eye again, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Do you want to know about the third lady of the Shang family?" ”

"No, you're mistaken. I want to know something about the funeral of Mrs. Shang.

"I've already told you that. It was in the early morning of the 23rd day before yesterday, and only ...... mourners were mourned."

"I know this, did you hear crying at that time?"

"No, but at dawn that day, my young grandmother and I were awakened by the sound of a hammer next door for a while, so harsh?"

"The sound of a hammer?"

"Probably nail the coffin board."

"So, then, the coffin wouldn't have been delivered the night before?"

"That's right, when I went to see the monks burial in the first night, I saw the empty black coffin parked in the courtyard of Shang's house."

Jing Mo thought about it and felt that this point was also very important. In this season, when the day is just after dawn, it is about halfway through the hour. I also remember that Qiang Dong on the tiger stove said that when Jin Chuan first asked him to deliver the letter on the morning of the 23rd, it was just dawn, which was the time.

But Liu Qing heard the sound of nailing the coffin, which showed that the work of nailing the coffin was not done by the servants who carried the coffin. Because at that time, Miss Shang assigned Qiang Dong to go out to find Tang Anguo, and Tang Anguo only found a way to hire a servant after receiving the letter, and the time was obviously not compatible. So, who nailed the coffin after all? Could it be Lai's mother and daughter or mother and son, these three people did it themselves?

Jingmo then asked Liu Qing again: "When you can hear the nails, do you hear the cry?" ”

Liu Qing shook his head and said, "No." We could only hear their cries when we were holding the lights last night, and when I went next door to take a look, I realized that Mrs. Shang had died.
