Hearing what Cheshire said, Su Wuming was even more curious about the strange thing he was going to say, but he didn't urge it, since Cheshire found him, then he would definitely talk about it.

The shopkeeper brought the food one after another, he was very sensible, and after the dishes were ready, he stood at a distance to make sure that he annoyed Cheshire.

Cheshire invited Su Wuming for a glass of wine before he spoke about the strange thing he was about to say.

"Master Su may not know, my ancestors used to be considered a big chaebol, and the family had a lot of money, so even after so many years, my Chai family's family business is still not much worse than before, it may be a habit left over from our Chai family, I especially like to buy things like fields and houses, because of my special identity, so I can often buy the real estate I want to buy."

Speaking of which, the Chai family didn't invite Su Wuming, and unconsciously picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and even after he finished drinking, he suddenly realized that it was a bit unruly, so he quickly explained: "I'm sorry, I like to drink very much, and when I speak, I will unconsciously pick up the wine glass and drink, please don't be surprised by Lord Su." ”

Su Wuming smiled, he was not a person who attached great importance to the rules of the wine table, so he didn't have any feelings about Cheshire's behavior, and now he was more interested in what Cheshire had to say, although he didn't like things like Cheshire's relying on his identity to buy real estate.

Seeing Su Wuming's look of disgust, Cheshire continued: "Five days ago, I wanted to buy a house for my sister in a green building, so I went to the south lane alley of the capital to take a look, where I found a good mansion, the lighting is very good, and spacious and clean, the key is that the price is very reasonable, after I saw it, I immediately paid the money, and yesterday the sister was moved, but what I didn't expect was that after we went in, we always felt that the wind was gusting, and we went to find the person who bought the house, but found that he was long gone." ”

With that, Cheshire paused, and then drank another glass of wine to himself.

And at this time, Cheshire didn't seem to have the intention of continuing, Su Wuming glanced at Cheshire, and found that he was not a little embarrassed about raising a foreign house, it seems that for men in this era, raising a foreign house is a very common thing, even a habit of rich families, Su Wuming has two wives in his family, and he naturally doesn't want to talk about Cheshire, not to mention that his family has a big business, and he is powerful, and he can afford to raise as many women as he wants.

It's just that Cheshire won't talk about it here, which makes him really a little incomprehensible.

"This ...... Is this the wonder you are talking about? Su Wuming didn't speak, it was Nangong Yan who spoke, she was eating double-sided swordfish, but when she heard Cheshire say this, she finally couldn't help laughing, she didn't think there was anything strange about this matter.

Nangong Yan's behavior was a little rude, but Cheshire didn't seem to care about these details, he smiled slightly, and said: "It's not over yet, I just don't know what is going on, what to say, if I say it, I'm afraid that Lord Su will make fun of it for believing in ghosts and gods!" ”

Su Wuming took a glass of wine and drank it all, and said, "Grandpa Guo might as well say it directly!" ”

Seeing that Su Wuming didn't mind, Cheshire continued: "Because of this, I was very worried, so I sent someone to inquire about the house, and under this inquiry, I heard a lot of rumors, some people said that the house had died, but no one had ever seen the corpse, it was said that it was a corpse, the person became a corpse after death, and then left by himself, after listening to those rumors, I didn't dare to stay in it anymore, but the house has been bought, and I can't get out, so I am very distressed in my heart, and I met Lord Su today, Maybe Master Su can have a way. ”

After listening to Cheshire's words, Su Wuming really felt that this incident was a strange thing, like a supernatural event in later novels, but Su Wuming was a detective, and he didn't want to investigate supernatural events, because supernatural events often don't make sense by reasoning.

"Grandpa Guo, I'm not a Taoist priest, but I can't be a ghost, you are looking for me, I'm afraid you are looking for the wrong person!"

The meaning of this sentence is already very clear, Su Wuming wanted to shirk the matter, but Cheshire shook his head again and again: "Of course I know that this matter involves ghosts and gods, which is a bit nonsense, so I think that maybe someone really died in the house, and then the body was disposed of, if so, it may be that there was a murder, and Master Su, as the head of Dali Temple, should have a way to investigate this murder." ”

After Cheshire's words came out, Su Wuming couldn't raise any objections, and after a moment of silence, Su Wuming nodded: "I have written down the matter of Grandpa Guo, but I may not have time to investigate these days, I wonder if I can postpone it for a few days?" ”

"This is natural, I know that Lord Su is going to the palace for a banquet this afternoon, and I have also been invited, we will have dinner later, we will go to the palace together to finish the play, and go to the palace for a banquet together in the evening, how about it?"

Seeing this, Su Wuming had no choice but to nod, with this Cheshire following, the two-person world between him and Nangong Yan was about to be destroyed.

However, after lunch, Su Wuming suddenly thought of an idea, so he said to Cheshire: "Grandpa Guo, it's not necessary to go and play together, I think that at this time, Grandpa Guo might as well send someone to search the house in the alley of Nanxiang inside and out, if you can, it is also necessary to dig three feet into the ground." ”

Hearing this, Cheshire hurriedly asked, "Lord Su, do you suspect that the body is hidden in that mansion?" ”

Su Wuming nodded: "It's extremely possible." ”

Cheshire thought for a while, and then bowed his hand to Su Wuming: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll do it, and we'll see you in the palace later!" ”

In the afternoon, Chang'an City is very quiet, many people have not gone out, the street seems to be a lot quieter, a white cat lies on the stone steps of their house to bask in the sun, occasionally raise their heads and meow twice.

Nangong Yan can be said to be full of wine and food at noon today, she is very satisfied, so she seems to be happier than in the morning, but she is also a very curious person, so as she walked, she suddenly asked: "Are you really going to help that Cheshire investigate what strange thing he said?" ”

Until now, Nangong Yan still felt that the strange thing that Cheshire said was a joke.

Su Wuming was silent for a moment, and then nodded: "Since Cheshire is the grandfather of the country, I don't think I will make up ghosts and gods for no reason, no matter what, after I am busy with this part of the matter, it is nothing to help him investigate, and I think Cheshire, a friend, can still be made." ”

After listening to Su Wuming's words, Nangong Yan nodded: "A rich and powerful person like him, it is naturally a good thing to be able to make friends, but ......" Speaking of this, Nangong Yan's expression suddenly changed, and said: "But it's too bad, you actually raise a foreign house outside, if you dare to learn from him, my sister and I have to teach you a good lesson." ”

Su Wuming's heart sank, and he felt a little remorseful, he thought that he was going to enjoy the world of two people with Nangong Yan, but at this time, he was threatened by Nangong Yan.

Throughout the afternoon, Su Wuming was explaining that he was making guarantees, and it wasn't until the sun was setting in the west that he got rid of Nangong Yan's entanglement under the pretext that he wanted to enter the palace for a banquet.

Su Wuming hurried to the palace, when he went, many people had come one after another, among these people, there were Yuanzhong Wen Duqi and others to participate in the competition, outstanding talents, there were Di Wang Xinwang and other princes, there were also Li Deyu and other important ministers in the court, of course, there were also those eunuchs in charge of the forbidden army, after Su Wuming stepped forward, he talked to each other with those talents, but at this time, a eunuch hurriedly came to Su Wuming and whispered in his ear, after Su Wuming listened, hurriedly followed the eunuch away.

The eunuch led Su Wuming to the garden he had just been to this morning, when he went, Gonggong Xi was already waiting, and after the two saluted each other, Su Wuming asked, "Just now this father-in-law said that you have made a discovery, but is it true?" ”

Gonggong Xi nodded: "Lord Su, since you left, I sent someone to secretly monitor Yiqiē here, originally I wanted to wait for the murderer to take the bait, but today there is a palace maid here to weed, and as a result, a cat's corpse was dug out of the soil, Lord Su, you come and see!" As he spoke, he pointed to a place not far away, where there was a small pit, and next to the pit was the corpse of a cat.

The cat had been skinned and looked horrible, but there was no blood, no blood at all, or so to speak, the cat's corpse had dried up and had probably been killed for many days.

The cat's corpse was buried, and it was stripped of its horses, and it is clear that the cat had been killed, that is, in this palace, there was a cruel man.

There are many kinds of human beings, and a person who commits such acts to other people or animals should be regarded as a cruel person, and a cruel person may do anything.

Seeing that Su Wuming was silent, Gonggong Xi said: "Master Su, this cat must have been killed by man, so according to miscellaneous conjectures, the bloodstains we found today are likely to be a puddle of cat blood, and the scream heard by the palace maid last night may have come from the cat." ”

After the happy father-in-law finished speaking, Su Wuming nodded, in fact, from the current situation, it can indeed be speculated that the cat's meow is very strange, Su Wuming once heard a cat meow, it sounds like a baby's cry, it is very infiltrating, if the cat screams, it should be similar to what the palace maid heard last night.

And if this is the case, then there is a problem that Su Wuming and they want to solve, that is, the cat that was killed last night, where did it go?

That cruel man must have killed more than one cat, where were the other cat corpses, and how did he dispose of them?
