Chapter 038: Where the Night Is

After noon, the weather in Jinling suddenly became gloomy, and as far as the eye could see, the whole sky felt wet.

Jinling Thorn Shi Luo Rui had already sent someone to spread the news, Su Wuming was quite satisfied with this, and then smiled and said that he was going to meet Shen Fu, the shopkeeper of the Wanfulai Inn.

Shen Fu and Zhu Neng had a holiday, and now that Zhu Neng has been killed, Shen Fu's suspicion is not small.

After leaving the Thorn History Mansion, Wen Wan'er hurriedly asked: "Xianggong, that Zhuge Jia whispered in the ear of the official just now, I'm afraid he did something else!" ”

Su Wuming smiled: "Madame's observation is quite subtle, you are right, then Zhuge Jia did order the official to do something." ”

"Then Zhuge Jia sent someone to do things secretly, it's really hateful, why didn't you demolish him on the spot and ask him what he ordered?" When Nangong Yan heard this, she was a little angry.

Su Wuming smiled as he walked: "Then Zhuge Jia felt that Cuiling was very suspicious after listening to Cuiling's words, so he asked people to monitor Cuiling, since I know, why bother asking!" ”

"Suspicious of Cui Ling?" Jiang Ying was a little incomprehensible.

Su Wuming nodded: "Zhu Neng is not at home for several days a month, and Cui Ling knows that Zhu Neng often lingers in fireworks places, which will inevitably make people think that Cui Ling is an unchaste woman who may have fornication with others, and the two murdered Zhu Neng together in order to be together for a long time." ”

After Su Wuming finished speaking, Tang Xiong, who followed behind, suddenly said: "Brother Su, this is extremely possible, we can't let them take the lead!" ”

Everyone also thinks that what Tang Xiong said makes sense, if a woman keeps the empty room alone, the probability of Hongxing going out of the wall will increase, and once a woman Hongxing goes out of the wall, it is possible to murder her husband.

But Su Wuming only smiled after hearing this: "Now that Zhuge Jia has sent someone to monitor, we don't have to go, it's all about solving the case, who comes first and who comes later, it's not so real, we might as well take advantage of this time to ask that Shen Fu." ”

Although everyone was not convinced, there was nothing they could do.

Wanfulai Inn is in the most prosperous area of Jinling Street, and the business is very good every day, when Su Wuming and the others came, because it was past the time to eat, there were only a few guests sitting sparsely, two guys were cleaning up the scraps, and a man who was almost forty years old was sitting at the counter and immediately settled the account books.

However, when Su Wuming and the others entered the inn, he immediately noticed it, and shouted at a guy: "Hurry up and greet the guests!" ”

The guy put down the work in his hand, and he was going to greet Su Wuming and them, but at this time, Su Wuming smiled lightly: "Don't be busy, we are here to find Boss Shen." ”

Shen Fu was startled at the counter, and then walked out of it with a smile: "Shen and you don't know each other, if you don't come here to eat, I really don't know how many people are here, I don't know if you can tell me?" ”

Su Wuming frowned slightly, and said: "In Xia Su Wuming, the new director of Dali Temple, was ordered to patrol Jianghuai, Zhu Neng was killed on the bank of the Qinhuai River last night, and I heard that Boss Shen had a bit of a holiday with that Zhu Neng, so I came to inquire." ”

Su Wuming's words were very polite, but after he finished speaking, Shen Fu's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly saluted: "I don't know if it was Lord Su of Dali Temple, it's really a sin!" ”

"Those who don't know are not guilty, and I will ask you, where were you last night?"

"Back to Lord Su, the villain was at home last night, but he didn't leave an inch!"

"Can anyone testify?"

"The villain's wife died early, and only a concubine accompanied me, she can testify for me!"

After a short time, a little woman walked over, and after listening to Su Wuming's words, she replied with a salute and a bow: "My lord was with me all the time last night, and he never left the house." ”

After the little woman finished speaking, she raised her eyes slightly to look at Su Wuming, but quickly lowered her head again.

Su Wuming bowed slightly, and continued to ask: "I heard that Boss Shen hasn't been to the flower boat since that time when he fought with Zhu Neng for the peony girl on the flower boat, but is this the case?" ”

Shen Fu's face was embarrassed, and he said: "That's true, I am the shopkeeper of an inn, and I will inevitably feel embarrassed when I have a dispute with a woman in that kind of place, and I didn't feel it much at the time, and even returned home, the more I thought about it, the more embarrassed I felt, and I couldn't hide my shame in my heart, so I had to go to that kind of place again." ”

Shen Fu's words made people feel that he still knew a trace of shame, Su Wuming smiled slightly, and said, "Miss Peony has disappeared since the incident of that day, do you know?" ”

Shen Fu nodded again and again: "This matter is making a fuss in Jinling, I naturally know about it, but I can't understand that the peony girl is doing well on the flower boat, why did she leave?" Long Sangu takes care of her very much, if she doesn't want to pick up guests, Long Sangu will not be reluctant! Shen Fu said, his brows condensed slightly, as if he was puzzled by this matter.

Su Wuming looked at Shen Fu and frowned slightly, and then said with a smile: "Since Boss Shen hasn't left home, then we have nothing to ask, so we leave!" ”

Shen Fu gave up his hand again and again, sent Su Wuming and them away, and said, "Master Su can come often when he is free, and the food in our store is still very palatable." ”

After leaving from the Wanfulai Inn, Nangong Yan was a little angry: "This Shen Fu, he went to the flower boat to be happy and even said that he was ashamed after coming back, I think he is a shameless person." ”

Nangong Yan was not angry, looked at Su Wuming and said, "Su Lang, now that we know that Shen Fu didn't leave the house last night, what should we do now?" ”

Su Wuming smiled lightly: "Shen Fu said that he didn't leave the house, we will believe it, didn't you look at his concubine, what he said is almost exactly the same as Shen Fu's, I suspect that those words were told by Shen Fu to her, and she also raised her eyes to look at me from time to time, thinking that this must be quite hidden, after going back, let Luo Rui send someone to ask the girl on the flower boat on the bank of the Qinhuai River to see if anyone had seen Shen Fu yesterday." ”

"How can Xianggong be sure that Shen Fu will go to the banks of the Qinhuai River?"

Su Wuming shrugged: "I'm not sure, but going to the Qinhuai River to ask is the most time-saving, whether there is a result or not, we can make inferences, let's imagine, if Shen Fu was on the bank of the Qinhuai River last night, his suspicion would be very big, but if Shen Fu was not on the bank of the Qinhuai River, then no matter where he was last night, he couldn't kill Zhu Neng, and he wouldn't be suspicious!" ”

After Su Wuming said this, everyone felt that it was very reasonable, so after returning to the Assassin's Mansion, they immediately asked Luo Rui to send someone to the bank of the Qinhuai River to inquire.

At this time, Zhuge Jia said to Su Wuming with a smile: "Lord Su, the news that Peony appeared in Jinling has come out, and now I am afraid that I will have to bother Mrs. Nangong to put on Peony's previous clothes and wait for those people to come at the place we have set up." ”

Su Wuming saw that Luo Rui's people were so efficient, and he praised this, and said, "Since this is the case, let's act immediately." ”

This task of being a bait was proposed by Nangong Yan herself, so as soon as she heard that she could start acting, she was very excited, and after putting on the outfit of the peony girl, there was a little more charm in the agility, which made people can't help but admire.

Zhuge Jia and the trap they set up were in an abandoned house in Jinling City, although the house was abandoned, it was still quite clean, and there were some wild flowers growing in the corner of the courtyard, and the wind could faintly smell the fragrance of flowers.

When Nangong Yan sat in the courtyard and waited for the group looking for peony people, the sky was a little more gloomy, but it was still cloudy and rainless.

This was until around Shen Shi, when the sky was dark and the wind and clouds were coming, Nangong Yan was already a little impatient, she got up and wanted to look outside to see why the group had not come yet, and just when she got up and was about to go out, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, Nangong Yan was startled, and hurriedly turned her back to the door, and she squeezed her eyes at the people hiding in the house.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and when the door was kicked open with a bang, Nangong Yan couldn't help but shudder, thinking that although she was known as a heroine and had great courage, at this time, she was still a little nervous.

After the door was kicked open, four or five people rushed in from the outside, they were holding wooden sticks and ropes, one of them walked in front, and after seeing Nangong Yan's back, he immediately instructed the people behind: "Hurry up and tie up the Ruyan girl back, the old man has been in a hurry these months." ”

Everyone was a little surprised when they first heard the name Ruyan, but after thinking about it carefully, they realized that this should be the real name of the peony girl.

Like smoke, what a good name.

Those people rushed up with ropes, but at this time, Nangong Yan turned around suddenly, looked at them and smiled coldly: "Today it fell into the hands of Miss Ben, you just wait to admit it!" ”

Those people saw that they were not like smoke, and they immediately understood that they had been fooled, so they didn't entangle, and immediately rushed outside, but as soon as they turned around, Su Wuming and they had already rushed out, and in a moment, Tang Xiong, Jiang Ying, Lin Yun, and they tied up all these people.

When they were escorted back to the Assassin's Mansion, it was getting late, and the thunder suddenly became loud, and soon it began to rain heavily.

The rain in Jinling is very poetic, but the people here are not in the mood to appreciate the poetry in the rain, because they need to know who this group of people looking for the peony girl is, and why they want to tie up the peony girl, or the girl like smoke.

This group of people was a little hard-mouthed at first, but under Luo Rui's coercion, they finally confided the truth.

"My lord, the peony...... Miss Ruyan, is a concubine of our master, our lord is very fond of her, but who knows that she doesn't know how to cherish, and actually eloped with a little white face and escaped, for which our lord is furious, and wants us to find her out regardless of life or death, the little one I and a few others heard that someone had seen her on the flower boat on the bank of the Qinhuai River half a month ago, so they hurried to the bank of the Qinhuai River in Jinling to look for it, but who knew that she had learned the news in advance and ran away! ”
