Chapter 2 Searching for the Murderer

Jiang Hengsheng was stunned and wondered: "My father is just an ordinary businessman, how can he have an intersection with Lord Shangshu?" ”

"I don't know about this, I only know that my father still has a lot of important things, so he handed over the things entrusted by Master Jiang to me."

After that, Li Tao stepped forward and leaned over to whisper something in Jiang Hengsheng's ear, Jiang Hengsheng nodded without much thought, and instructed Uncle Zhang, "Arrange a room for Li Gongzi." Brother Li, please. ”

Li Taozhi nodded slightly, and when he left with Uncle Zhang, he looked at Jin'er behind Jiang Hengsheng again.

Jiang Hengsheng looked at Jin'er puzzled, "Jin'er, I don't see anything on your face, why does Brother Li always look at you?" ”

Jin'er didn't answer him, "Is he really Li Taishou's son?" ”

"What? Do you doubt Brother Li? But what did Brother Li do to deceive me? He also said he would help me find the murderer......"

Jin'er stared straight at Jiang Hengsheng, Jiang Hengsheng met his eyes, and his voice became smaller and quieter, until there was no more.

"Young Master Jiang is really enthusiastic about others, and after knowing each other for less than half an hour, he calls others brothers...... Jin'er retired first. ”

Before Jiang Hengsheng could react, Jin'er left, leaving Jiang Hengsheng alone to stand stupidly in the hall.

That night, in the backyard of Jiang's mansion, a figure flashed, and then Jiang Hengsheng crept out of the room and came to the mourning hall.

Inside the hall, a man stood quietly with a candlestick in his hand.

"Brother Li has been waiting for a long time."

"I've just arrived, too, so let's get started."

After speaking, Li Taozhi's right hand on the coffin lid was forced, and the coffin lid was pushed open halfway.

Jiang Hengsheng was stunned, "I didn't expect Brother Li to know martial arts!" ”

"My father has asked me to practice martial arts since I was a child, and it is not a problem to push open a coffin."

Li Tao stepped forward to take a closer look, and Jiang Hengsheng knelt down, clasped his hands together and kowtowed, muttering something, and then got up and came to the coffin.

The corpse had begun to decompose, and the tongue was sticking out of the slightly open mouth...... The fatal wound was a sword in the chest, and after careful observation and analysis, it should have killed Master Jiang when he was not paying attention.

But here's the question, Master Jiang went out with his entourage, all of them were strong and strong, and they still had a little foundation, how could they be ......

Li Taozhi frowned, Jiang Hengsheng saw this, and his heart was mixed.

"Brother Li, do you see something?"

"There are two possibilities, one is that an acquaintance committed the crime, and the other is that a killer organization with strong martial arts did it."

It began to snow again, and the howling of the wind made the candle flame in his hand flicker and darken, and there were echoes in the mourning hall.

"Dad, don't worry, I will find the murderer to avenge you!"

"There's nothing to see, let's go."

Li Taozhi closed the lid of the coffin. The two of them thought about each other and walked out of the mourning hall. When he went down the steps, Li Taozhi stopped and bowed his head.

Jiang Hengsheng walked a few steps, saw that there was no one beside him, and looked back, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing, let's go."

In the wind and snow, the backs of the two gradually blurred, leaving three lines of footprints in the snow.

Early the next morning, Jiang Hengsheng and Li Taozhi decided to start investigating acquaintances who had a motive to kill Master Jiang.

"You're looking for a murderer?"

Jin'er asked.

"Well, Brother Li and I will go to the county government to report the case immediately."

"Didn't you say that you were killed by Hibikima?"

"Brother Li doesn't think so."

Jiang Hengsheng packed up his things, "Of course, it is estimated that the old man who does not act will not be able to find anything, and I will go with Brother Li about this matter." ”

Jin'er stopped Jiang Hengsheng, "Since you have decided, then I will go too." ”

"What? This is not for fun, the villains are fierce, you should wait for news in the house for the sake of safety. ”

"Jin'er is just a subordinate, a cheap life, and it was brought back by the master at the beginning, and the master is Jin'er's reborn parents."

Looking at Jin'er's determined eyes, Jiang Hengsheng had a headache.

"Okay...... But remember to protect yourself. ”

After the meal, the three of them left the house. For several days in a row, the businessmen who had business dealings with Master Jiang were thoroughly investigated, but there was no motive to kill them.

Come to the Xian Restaurant, this is the restaurant that Master Jiang often came to during his lifetime.

The three of them explained their intentions, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant hurriedly came out to greet them.

In the private room, Li Taozhi was drinking tea, Jiang Hengsheng was pacing, and Jin'er was just standing quietly.

"The three of you have been waiting for a long time."

A tall, chubby, middle-aged man walked in.

"You are Boss Qin?"

"Yes, yes, you must be Jiang Xian's nephew, right?"

Seeing Jiang Hengsheng nodded, Boss Qin suddenly choked up, "How is the virtuous nephew doing lately?" The old man felt extremely sorry for the death of Master Jiang......"

As he spoke, he touched his tears.

Jiang Hengsheng looked very uncomfortable in his heart, and hurriedly helped Boss Qin, "Then does Boss Qin know when my father last came here before his death, and why did he come?" ”

Boss Qin slowly calmed down and tried to recall: "The last time Master Jiang came to the restaurant was a month ago, and there was a man who came with him, who looked quite young...... Yes, I remember it right, because they had a quarrel in the private room, and I remember it very well. ”

Jin'er suddenly turned sideways and said, "Young Master, I'll go out and ask someone to make a pot of tea, you can talk first." With that, she bowed and walked out the door.

Jiang Hengsheng said: "Boss Qin continued, what are my father and that person arguing about?" ”

"Oh, I don't know what it is, but when I heard it, I was very impressed. Master Jiang said that it was impossible to hand over any unicorn to him. ”

Li Taozhi and Jiang Hengsheng glanced at each other, and then chatted with Boss Qin for a while, and Jin'er also came in with a teapot. Not long after, the three of them took their leave and left.

On the way, Li Taozhi saw Jiang Hengsheng frowning and said with a smile: "What? Brother Jiang is still thinking about that sentence? ”

"Hmm...... The unicorn that Boss Qin heard should be talking about the heirloom of our Jiang family, the jade unicorn. ”

Hearing this, Li Taozhi paused, "Jade Qilin...... I have heard that Emperor Wu Yun, the emperor of the previous dynasty, was very fond of a piece of unicorn jade...... The unicorn was a symbol of the Son of Heaven in the previous dynasty, and it should not be used for civilian ......"

As he spoke, Li Taozhi glanced at Jiang Hengsheng deeply.

Jiang Hengsheng shrugged, "I don't know as much as Brother Li, as for whether my family's jade unicorn is the object of the emperor of the previous dynasty, let's go back and see." ”

When I went to the house, in Master Jiang's study, I opened a secret passage, which was filled with all kinds of cherished calligraphy and paintings, and in the deepest part, a quaint box was placed on the table. Gently opened, a palm-sized square jade appeared in front of him, and by the candle flame, it could be seen that its unicorn carving was lifelike and the texture was very good. When I turned it over, it was engraved with the words "Nanshan Daoren".

"Who is this Nanshan Dao man?"

Li Taozhi asked.

Jiang Hengsheng shook his head, "I've never heard my father mention it." ”

"Then this is not Emperor Wu Yun's thing?"

The three of them walked out of the study in silence.

Li Taozhi spoke first, "Then the man that Boss Qin said is very motivated, and he killed the killer in order to seize the precious jade unicorn. ”

Jiang Hengsheng nodded, and shook his head again, "But who would carry the heirloom with him?" He killed my father, and he still doesn't know where the jade unicorn is? ”

Silence again......

A subordinate hurriedly ran over and reported breathlessly: "Young master, it's not good, the county government has come to arrest people!" ”

"Arrest? Who to catch? ”

"Of course I'm going to arrest you guys."

Before anyone could speak, a group of catchers ran in, led by a black-faced man.

Jiang Hengsheng asked puzzledly, "Catch Brother Kuai, are you making a mistake?" This is Jiangfu. ”

"I'm here for Jiangfu, someone is here! Take it for me! ”

Li Taozhi came out and said, "Then dare to ask us what we have committed and want to arrest us?" ”

The black-faced man snorted coldly, "Hmph, you still don't admit what you did?" Didn't you kill Boss Qin who came to the Immortal Restaurant? ”

"What?"

The three were stunned.
