Chapter 100, The Secret in the Painting (Ask for Collection, Recommend)

For the past two days, I have been paying attention to the poisoning of the old beggar's son.

Shen Mu is particularly sensitive to the three words "Fortune Building".

Not to mention, the painting made by Hu Qigongzi originally depicted the street scene in front of the "Fortune Building".

The words "Fortune Building" were written on it, and it was difficult for him to turn a blind eye.

When Hu Qigongzi heard this, he also stopped and looked at the painting hanging on the stairs on the second floor.

Then he said retrospectively: "Is Brother Shen talking about this painting?" I guess I painted this picture three years ago.

At that time, the younger brother was in the box where he was today, and the window was facing the fortune building opposite.

The younger brother remembered that he was waiting for Lord Lingrong in this restaurant that day, but he waited for a long time, and he was idle and bored, and it happened that there was paper and pen on the table at that time, and he drew a few strokes at random when he picked it up.

After the painting, I felt that the painting was okay, so I didn't tear it up, and put it away at will.

It's just that some time ago, there was a lot of rain, and many of the collected paintings were damp, so they took them out to dry, but they didn't expect to be seen by Brother Shen! ”

"Do you remember when this painting was painted three years ago?"

Shen Mu then asked.

"Which day?" Hu Qigongzi frowned and recalled.

"Oh, I remember, a few outsiders happened to die in Fuyunlou that day, as if they were poisoned, and the matter was very big, and many people knew about it.

How could Brother Shen care so much about this Fortune Building?

If the younger brother is not mistaken, this Fortune Building has been closed for three years, right? Now that land has become a coffin shop, right? ”

Hu Qigongzi looked at Shen Mu with some suspicion and asked.

Shen Mu didn't answer his question immediately, but stared at the painting blankly, without blinking his eyes.

Hu Qigongzi was curious, and he also stared at the painting he had drawn.

I painted this painting myself, so I didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Could it be that this has been released for a few years, and what is the problem?

"Brother Hu Xian, can you see anything?" Shen Mu's gaze was finally withdrawn from the painting, and he turned his head sideways

"See what?" Hu Qigongzi was a little puzzled, isn't this just a painting? No matter how you look at it, it can't become a flower.

But seeing that Shen Mu's expression was more serious, not like he was joking with him, he believed that the other party must have another deep meaning, so he had to stare at this painting again.

"Huh!" Hu Qigongzi looked at it, suddenly noticed a corner of the picture, and shouted in surprise.

"Could it be that the two of them are?" In surprise, he pointed to the two figures in the upper left corner of the painting.

"As Brother Xian can see, these two people are acting suspiciously." Shen Mu nodded and said.

Originally, Shen Mu didn't think about what he really found in this painting?

I just happened to see this painting at the time, so I stopped and looked at it.

Who knew that he saw something wrong with this look.

If this painting of Hu Qigongzi was really painted at the time of the Fuyunlou poisoning case.

Then the two sneaky figures in the upper left corner of the painting are suspicious, especially one of them is stuffing a paper bag into the other's hand.

This paper bag looks small and not big, and it doesn't look like it's wrapped in something to eat.

The corner painted in the upper left corner is exactly the corner of the wall on the right side of the Fortune Building, which is relatively secluded, and if you are not standing on the opposite side of the restaurant, you will not pay attention to it.

Although Hu Qigongzi's figure paintings, the face is painted in a very freehand way, and the face looks very abstract, but because of this, the sneaky demeanor of one of them is even more eye-catching.

When he saw this scene, Shen Mu had an idea in his heart.

If the poison used in the poisoning and murder of Fuyunlou was not given by the old beggar's son or by the three merchants themselves, then where did the poison come from?

Could it be that there were other people in the restaurant that day who also committed the crime?

Could it be that those two sneaky people are standing in the corner, and they are related to the poisoning case in Fuyun Tower?

Thinking of this, he turned his head sideways again and asked Hu Qigongzi, "Can you know the two people on this painting?" ”

"This seems to be the more famous ruffian king in the county before."

Hu Qigongzi has always had a set of acquaintances, although this is a painting painted three years ago, but because of the poisoning case in the restaurant that day, he remembers some things more clearly.

"The second ruffian? Does Brother Hu Xian know where this person is now? ”

I came out today to take a walk around the scene of the crime, and I really gained a lot.

"Is this the second king? I don't think I saw each other in a year or two. Hu Qigongzi said with some uncertainty.

Shen Mu's heart sank. But then I thought that if the old beggar's son was really wronged, then the real murderer back then would probably have already cleaned up all the hands and tails!

If Wang Er was really involved in the poisoning case, I'm afraid he would have been wiped out a long time ago!

But no matter what, this Wang Er is also a clue.

If Wang Er really died of an unnatural death, then it also proves that there is another hidden story behind this poisoning case, and this Jixi County Ling Rongzhi has indeed sentenced an unjust, false and wrongful case.

After all, Hu Qigongzi is a very smart person, and now that he has talked so much to Shen Mu, he has also woken up.

He immediately spoke: "Why does Brother Shen care so much about this Fortune Building, could it be for other reasons?" ”

Hu Qigongzi carefully recalled the Fuyun Building three years ago, and in his memory it seemed to be a small restaurant with only two floors.

Because the price of the food is relatively cheap, the people who eat are ordinary guests, and he really hasn't been in it.

The reason why such a painting was made that day was purely by chance.

And Shen Mu is a brocade guard, does this Fortune Building have any special background?

"Naturally, there are other reasons, but it's complicated to say, and it's not convenient to tell Brother Xian now, and please don't care about Brother Xian."

"Oh, then the little brother won't ask much. If Brother Shen thinks this painting is useful to you, the younger brother will give you this painting. ”

Hu Qigongzi is a smart and interesting person, so he immediately stopped the topic.

"Thank you, Brother Hu Xian." This painting can indeed exist as evidence, so Shen Mu is not lying politely.

"Shubao, put this painting away for Brother Shen." Hu Qigongzi instructed his little servant.

"Yes, Childe."

This little guy was confused by the side just now, but he also understood a little, and knew what was strange in this painting.

It's not a good thing for my own son-in-law to stay in his hands, I can't wait for Shen Mu to take it away quickly!

After putting away the paintings, Shen Mu followed Hu Qigongzi to the third floor of the painting building.

While admiring the various paintings hanging by the other party, he pretended to be very casual and said, "As a native of Jixi, what kind of person does you think the Rong County Order is?"
