Chapter Forty-Eight: Shun Teng Touches the Melons and Checks Sun Shou

After Lin Mo returned to Qiannan, he went back to the restaurant directly, and Zhao En, who was busy, was very surprised to see Lin Mo and the two come back, after all, Zhao Heng only went to General Town with his mother this morning, why did he come back so quickly.

Zhao En stepped forward and asked curiously: "Xiao Mo, why did you come back like such an accountant, Miss Xin'er just had an accident, I know you are very sad, you should cultivate more now, the restaurant has me, you don't have to worry about it." ”

After Zhao En finished speaking, he realized that he had said something wrong and quickly changed his words, Lin Mo shook his head.

"Don't worry about me, I don't think Xin'er wants me to be depressed all the time, I'd better come over and take a look at the restaurant, after all, Xin'er has always wanted the restaurant to be prosperous."

Zhao En nodded and continued to get busy, while Lin Mo returned to the back room first. Lin Mo pushed away the room where Sun was the shopkeeper before, and looked at the furnishings in the house and fell into deep thought.

Lin Mo decided to start with the shopkeeper Sun, after all, a person who was so close to the Ma family died inexplicably and died of poisoning, and the result he got from the Ma family was that this shopkeeper Sun was found to have committed suicide by taking poison by greedy ink, Lin Mo didn't care much about it originally, but now that he thinks about it, it is really strange.

Lin Mo thought about it carefully, there were two suspicions, one was that he did not find direct evidence that the shopkeeper Sun had taken poison, such as no poisonous residue was found in the teacup, and the poison was taken too suddenly, without any signs; The second is that the shopkeeper Sun is about to get married, according to Zhou Fu and Wu Shun, this shopkeeper Sun has a deep relationship with his fiancée, and he should not leave her like this. Now Lin Mo first wanted to look for any clues here, but because too much time had passed and the house had been cleaned, Lin Mo didn't have much expectations.

No one has slept in this room, except for the last time when I was drunk and had nowhere to sleep, and I didn't know who carried me in to sleep.

Lin Mo turned around, looking at the surroundings without anything special, and was a little disappointed in his heart.

Zhao Heng also looked around, the door of this room was usually closed, after all, there had been deaths, and Zhao En was also unlucky, so he never let Zhao Heng in.

Zhao Heng looked at the room and asked suspiciously, "Uncle Lin, what are you doing here?" This room is so gloomy that I don't even dare to come in. ”

Lin Mo smiled: "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, you haven't done anything bad, and ghosts won't hurt you." I've slept here before, nothing at all. ”

Saying that, Lin Mo sat on the bed and put the silk on the side of the bed to show Zhao Heng his sleeping posture at that time.

"Uncle Lin's silk horses have been bitten by rats, can you still ask for them?"

"Why can't I ask for it, I relied on these rat-bitten silk to accumulate the silver to open the restaurant."

"Then why don't you sell these horses together? It's useless to stay here. ”

"These horses are a congratulatory gift for the shopkeeper Sun, although the shopkeeper Sun is dead, it is still someone else's thing, and I will return the things to the fiancée of the shopkeeper Sun when I have the opportunity in the future."

Zhao Heng nodded. Suddenly, Lin Mo thought of something, picked up the silk and looked at it himself.

Finding that the corners of the silk had been bitten by mice, Lin Mo checked it again and again, and finally his eyes stayed on the dark red pattern of the silk, and muttered to himself: "I see, I ignored the most important things that should not be ignored, it seems that people are not computers after all, they will be all secrets,"

Lin Mo carefully wrapped the silk, Lin Mo asked Xiao Heng to call Zhou Fu and Wu Shun over, and after a while, the two came over together: "What do you have to say, owner?"

"It's nothing, just to ask you something about the former shopkeeper Sun Shou."

The two of them were a little strange when they heard it, but they didn't have any excuses, and said directly: "Boss, you ask, we know everything, and we have endless words." ”

"Well, let me ask, what was so strange about Shopkeeper Sun before the accident?" Wu Shun thought about it and shook his head.

"I really can't remember how long the owner has been."

Zhou Fu looked at Wu Shun and smiled: "Of course you don't remember, you came out to know how much you lost and how much you won, what do you remember?" ”

Wu Shun immediately disagreed: "It's been almost three months, of course I can't remember such a long time, do you remember?" ”

Zhou Fu smiled proudly: "I really remember some." ”

Then he looked at Lin Mo: "The day the shopkeeper Sun had an accident, his hand was cut." ”

"I know this too, didn't I say it before?" Wu Shun looked at Zhou Fu unconvinced.

Zhou Fu continued: "There is one thing you must not know, Shopkeeper Sun has flower willow disease. ”

Wu Shun looked at Zhou Fu with some disbelief: "How is it possible, Shopkeeper Sun never goes to look for flowers and ask Liu, how can you get sick, if you talk nonsense, beware of Shopkeeper Sun coming to you at night." ”

"Where did I say nonsense, I have evidence." As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his arms, which was full of words, Lin Mo took it and looked at it, there were some medicine names in it, and this piece of paper was a prescription at a glance.

Zhou Fu said proudly: "This is what I secretly saw from the shopkeeper Sun's room at that time, and I took it to look at it when I was curious, I didn't know what disease it was cured of, I thought that the shopkeeper Sun had a serious illness, and took the prescription to Langzhong to see, it turned out to be a treatment for flower willow disease, I only then knew that it was Sun shopkeeper who had flower willow disease, and I didn't dare to say it, so I didn't tell others." After speaking, Zhou Fu looked at Wu Shun proudly, as if to say, I even know it, but I just don't tell you.

Lin Mo stared at the prescription for a while and looked at Zhou Fu strangely, and then said, "I'll keep this prescription first, don't mention today's matter to others." After that, he gave each of them a tael of silver, and the two nodded with a smile, and kept thanking Lin Mo for his generosity.

Lin Mo asked again, "Do you know where Shopkeeper Sun lives and his fiancée?" ”

Zhou Fu thought for a while, "In the alley next to a tavern in Qingshan Town, the third gate is it. ”

Wu Shun said: "How do you even know this." ”

Zhou Fudao: "Shopkeeper Sun said that you don't remember, oh, I remembered, you went to gamble again that day, and you are not here." ”

Wu Shun looked at Zhou Fu and Lin Mo embarrassedly when he heard this, after all, he used to often go out of the shop to gamble, if it wasn't for the good shopkeeper Sun, he would have driven himself away a long time ago.

After Lin Mo asked everything clearly, he took Zhao Heng, took the silk and said that he would give it to the fiancée of the shopkeeper Sun, after all, this also belongs to her, and if he got this shop because of the shopkeeper Sun, he would have to visit her because of the shopkeeper Sun, Zhou Fu and Wu Shun praised again and again, saying that Lin Mo was benevolent and righteous.

Lin Mo asked not to tell anyone, the two nodded, and Lin Mo led Zhao Heng with silk and left.

Lin Mo took Zhao Heng to buy a few pieces of silk with the same pattern as the silk to be returned to Sun's fiancée in a relatively remote silk village, and then went home directly, put the old ones at the bottom of the box, and then set off to Qingshan Town with the newly bought.

Zhao Heng did this for Lin Mo, Lin Mo just smiled and said: "This silk is broken like this, I will return it, the fiancée of the shopkeeper Sun may think that she is deliberately entertaining her." Zhao Heng nodded when he heard this, feeling very reasonable.

Ma Fu, Ma Zhiyuan heard Steward Zhang say that Lin Mo had returned, just nodded, and then picked up the pen and spent a few strokes on the paper at random, erasing the originally drawn mountain scene.

Qingshan Town is only ten miles away from Qiannan, and the two of them arrived in less than an hour by carriage.

Lin Mo led Zhao Heng to the town after a while, and then followed Zhou Fu's guidance to the door of Shopkeeper Sun's house.

Lin Mo knocked on the door, and a pleasant female voice came,

"Who?"

Then the door was opened, and a woman in her twenties with her delicate face and hair tied up in a bun and a hairpin on her head was looking at Lin Mo suspiciously.

Lin Mo asked, "Do you know Sun Shou?" ”

As soon as the woman heard Lin Mo mention Sun Shou, her eyes were immediately full of defensiveness, and her tone was not good.

"Who are you? How do you know about Sun Shou? ”

As soon as Lin Mo heard this reaction, he knew that he had found the right person, so he hurriedly saluted,

"Under is the owner of the restaurant for the south of the restaurant, the restaurant was originally the silk village of the shopkeeper Sun, and then the shopkeeper Sun had a misfortune, I opened the restaurant by myself under the silk village. Due to his busy schedule, some of his items have been unable to be handled. These pieces of fabrics were the shopkeeper Sun at that time, and now the shopkeeper Sun is gone, I inquired a lot to know that the shopkeeper Sun has a fiancée, so I came to return these fabrics, I don't know if it's you? . So he took out the silk and showed it to the woman.

As soon as the woman heard Lin Mo's words, she saw that Lin Mo didn't look like a bad person with a child, so she nodded,

"I am Sun Shou's fiancée, you can call me Sun. Thank you for coming over and giving it to me. Please come in first, have a cup of tea and rest, I'll cook some food later, and the two of you will have some light meals here. ”

Talking about Lin Mo and the two of them entering the house, Lin Mo was stunned as soon as he entered the door, and there was a coffin parked in the main hall of the back room, and a tablet was placed in front of the coffin, which read, "The spiritual seat of the deceased husband Sun Shou." ”

Lin Mo pointed to the coffin a little helplessly, "Sister-in-law, this, this is ......"

Sun nodded: "Well, this is the coffin of my husband Sun Shou." ”

"It's been almost three months, why haven't you been buried yet?"

Sun's tears rolled in his eyes, and he bit his lip and said firmly: "My husband's death is not clear, and if I don't find out the truth for a day, I won't be buried for a day." Lin Mo looked at this stubborn woman and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Lin Mo didn't speak, but walked to the coffin, knelt on the futon, picked up a stack of paper money on the side, lit it on the incense candle, put it in the brazier, and said,

"Shopkeeper Sun, I know that you have grievances and died unjustly, and I, Lin Mo, also have grievances, and I am inextricably linked with you, this time I not only made a special trip to see my sister-in-law, but also came to tell you that your grievances, I, Lin Mo, will definitely seek justice for you and find out the matter."

After that, Lin Mo slammed his head three times. When Sun heard this, he was shocked, and looked at Lin Mo, his eyes showed doubts, stunned, and unwilling.

In the end, he suppressed the countless thoughts in his heart, looked at Lin Mo lightly and said, "You guys wait here for a while, I'll go buy some vegetables." With that, he went out the door.

Zhao Heng looked at Lin Mo and said, "Uncle Lin, did you scare her just now, she won't report to the official to arrest us." ”

Lin Mo shook his head, "I just felt it, and I believe she just went to buy some vegetables." After that, he sat in the courtyard with Zhao Heng and waited for Sun to come back.
