The sky was getting darker.

A few people walked on the street, Nangong Yan was complaining that the name of the poetry building was not worthy of the name, Wen Wan'er listened quietly, Su Wuming's brows were slightly condensed, and he seemed to be full of worries, but soon, he smiled lightly, and then instructed Lin Yun: "You don't have to go home with you, stay here to monitor the poetry building!" ”

Lin Yun was a little stunned, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, is there anything wrong with this poetry building?" ”

Su Wuming nodded: "It's a big problem, I'm afraid everything started from the poetry building." ”

Hearing Su Wuming say this, everyone was a little confused, they just came to the poetry building once, what does the Cao family's murder have to do with the poetry building, is it because Cao Geng also went to the poetry building that day?

Su Wuming didn't mean to explain, so after Lin Yun received the order, he turned back again.

The night breeze began to cool down, and after a heavy rain during the day, the night sky was clear and full of stars.

Su Wuming is no longer worried about the murder, everyone has discovered his changes, and when everyone finds out about his changes, everyone knows that the murder will end soon.

The insect chirping was even more noisy, Su Wuming sat in the courtyard listening to the insect chirping, admiring the stars in the night sky, and occasionally smiled lightly.

Lin Yun and Jiang Ying neither came back, and there was no news, so in the middle of the night, Su Wuming had to go back to the house to rest.

The next day was the same, and it wasn't until late in the evening that the two of them suddenly came with news, and the news of the two of them arrived almost at the same time, after Su Wuming heard the news of the two of them, he smiled lightly, and then took people to the city gate.

At dusk, the city gate should be considered relatively lively, because the people who enter the city are in a hurry, and so are the people who go out of the city, so the people who come and go make those doormen a little tired to deal with.

Su Wuming and the others hid near the city gate, and when they saw the prey coming out of the city, they did not rush to catch up, but waited again, and they did not quietly catch up until the other prey came out of the city.

The two groups of prey, they went out of the city one after another, and after leaving the city, they did not immediately merge into one place, but after leaving Qiantang County for a long time, they reunited.

When they got together, a man was already waiting for them.

There were three groups of them, one of whom was the first to leave the city, and then the other two groups were waiting for them at the agreed place.

When these three groups of people gathered together, Su Wuming felt that the time had come, so they showed up.

When those people saw Su Wuming and the others suddenly appear, they were a little surprised, followed by panic, and after panicking, one of them hurriedly greeted him and smiled: "Lord Su also went out of the city to play?" ”

Su Wuming smiled lightly: "Brother Gu, Lord Ben is not out of the city to play, I'm afraid you are not!" Su Wuming said, glancing at the others, the others were Aunt Lian, Sun Sanniang, and a woman they had seen for the first time.

And Su Wuming followed the two groups of people, one of them was Aunt Lian, and the other was Sun Sanniang and the unknown woman.

The gathering of these three groups of people was really a bit unexpected by everyone, and it made it impossible for them to explain it.

Although Gu Nianbai has been to Caofu and may know Gu Nianbai, Gu Nianbai has been to the Poetry Building, and it is possible that he has met Sun Sanniang, but when the three of them meet like this, it seems that it is not coincidental to explain.

Gu Nianbai seemed to have nothing to say, he looked at Su Wuming, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and at this time, the sunset was about to end, and it was a little cool when the wind rose, it seemed that summer was really going to end.

Tang Xiong looked at the few of them and said angrily: "You planned the murder of the Cao family? ”

Several people looked at each other, all of them were silent, the woman they saw for the first time was even more trembling, Su Wuming glanced at her, she belonged to the type of delicate woman, giving people a sense of helplessness, between the faint eyebrows, there was an indescribable sorrow.

After Tang Xiong asked that sentence for a long time, Sun Sanniang suddenly smiled and said: "Master Su, you have really wronged us, we will do murderous things there, besides, killing Cao Yunxing and Wei Ying will not be beneficial to them at all." ”

Sun Sanniang is right, after Cao Yunxing and Wei Ying died, whether it was Gu Nianbai or Sun Sanniang, they really didn't get any benefits, since there were no benefits, why did they kill people?

In this world, most of the things that everyone does are for profit, and if there is no benefit, who will do it?

But there are also some things that have to be done without interest, such as hatred.

Su Wuming glanced at Sun Sanniang, and after smiling faintly, he set his eyes on the woman they had seen for the first time, and said, "You are Miss Fang Ya, right?" ”

The woman was startled, and then looked terrified, but she still nodded, and when she nodded, Gu Nianbai's heart suddenly sank, since Su Wuming knew her name, then he must know about the rest of the matter.

After understanding all this, Gu Nianbai suddenly became a lot more angry, he looked at Su Wuming and asked, "Master Su is a smart person, when did you see this?" ”

Su Wuming shrugged: "Since the first time I met you, I felt that you gave people a very strange feeling, but at that time, I didn't expect that the feeling you gave me at that time would have something to do with the murder, and I suspect you, I'm afraid it was after you said those things about Cao Geng." ”

"Just because of those words?"

"Of course not, those words just made me pay a little attention to you, but it was because of you that I discovered the secret of the whole thing."

Gu Nianbai's eyes were cold, and then he smiled lightly: "But on the night Cao Yunxing was killed, I had no way to enter and leave Cao's Mansion freely, even if Master Su noticed me, it was impossible to suspect that I killed Cao Yunxing, and I said those words aimed at Cao Geng, Cao Yunxing was killed, what does it have to do with me?" ”

After Gu Nianbai finished speaking, Nangong Yan immediately retorted: "Hmph, have you forgotten that there is also an Ah Bing, if you can buy A Bing, then it will be difficult to enter and exit freely in the Cao Mansion?" When Nangong Yan said this, she glanced at Aunt Lian, and then continued: "And this woman, she is helping you in Cao Mansion, where can you go?" ”

After Nangong Yan finished speaking, Gu Nianbai only smiled lightly, as if what Nangong Yan said made him more proud.

At this time, Gu Nianbai set his eyes on Su Wuming and asked, "Master Su thinks the same way?" ”

Su Wuming shrugged: "I did think like this before, but after the people of the official couldn't find Ah Bing, I didn't think like that, I think that Ah Bing was just you pretending!" ”

As soon as Su Wuming's words came out, everyone was shocked, Gu Nianbai was startled at first, and then suddenly laughed: "Master Su is really joking, it's only been half a month since I came back from Chang'an, and that Ah Bing has been guarding the Cao Mansion for more than two months, how can that Ah Bing be me pretending?" ”

Everyone also had the same question, so they all set their eyes on Su Wuming, and Su Wuming smiled lightly: "If you had the intention to kill someone, how could you let people know that you returned to Qiantang County two months earlier?" ”

A cold sweat broke out on Gu Nianbai's forehead, and he said, "I want to hear about it!" ”

"Actually, Brother Gu should know this best, the time of the Chang'an imperial examination has passed a few months ago, if you fall into the first place, even if you think about whether to come back, it won't take so much time, and is the silver on your body enough? Two months ago, you quietly returned to Qiantang County, and didn't tell anyone, but there is one person you have to look for her, that is Fang Ya, but you didn't find her, and finally through other methods, you learned about Fang Ya and Cao Geng, for this reason, you dressed yourself as an old man, and then mixed into Cao's mansion, and after you inquired about Fang Ya's situation, you came up with a murder plan, in order not to let others suspect you, you appeared as your real identity, so that you play two roles, if you are an ordinary person, I can't figure it out at all. ”

After Su Wuming said this, Gu Nianbai's expression changed slightly, and after a long time, he smiled coldly: "What about Wei Ying?" When Wei Ying was killed, I was really outside the city! ”

Su Wuming snorted coldly and said: "Wei Ying was not killed by you, but by Aunt Lian, Aunt Lian moved into the kitchen and put sweat medicine in the meal, and then climbed on the roof in the middle of the night and stabbed Wei Ying to death with a bamboo stick and a dagger, because this was discussed by you early in the morning, so you went out of the city to visit friends that night and did not return, so there is an alibi to prove it, even if we suspect you, we can't help you." ”

After Aunt Lian heard Su Wuming's words, she was very nervous and scared, but she didn't seem to feel a trace of guilt because of the murder.

At this time, Su Wuming took out the purse and said: "This purse is Cao Geng's, he said that he didn't know when he was gone, when I asked him about the purse, I immediately understood, his purse must have been in the lively situation of the poetry building, someone was taken away, and at that time we were all sitting together, who would take Cao Geng's purse, I want to come and go, only you Gu Nianbai, you stole Cao Geng's purse, that is, you want to leave the purse at the scene after the murder so that Cao Geng is suspected, you hate Cao Geng, But you don't want to simply kill him, you want to keep his relatives away from him one by one, let him taste the feeling that is worse than death, don't you? ”

After Su Wuming said this, everyone finally understood that it was precisely because of that purse that Su Wuming thought that the murderer was Gu Nianbai, so he went to the poetry building to ask Sun Sanniang, and the poetry meeting that day was probably arranged by them early in the morning, in order to give Gu Nianbai a chance to take Cao Geng's purse.

The sun was set in the distance, and a little afterglow was left in the air, faint red, but soon obscured by white clouds; The moon rose in the sky, and insects sounded in the grass outside the city.
