Chapter 066: The Fall of the Family
After noon, the sun began to burn.
After Su Wuming met with Wen Wan'er and Nangong Yan, he told him about the discovery of the broken temple, and then instructed Jiang Ying and Lin Yun: "At this time, I have found out how the murderer killed Fang Shi, but who the murderer is is not yet known, you go to investigate Wu Jun and Wang Yuanwai respectively." ”
After Su Wuming finished speaking, everyone was a little surprised, and Nangong Yan hurriedly asked: "Then Wu Jun is suspicious and should be investigated, but what is there to investigate outside this royal member, do you think he may be a murderer and killed those who pursued his daughter?" ”
Su Wuming smiled and said, "I don't know about this, but when I entered the palace today, I found that the landscape painting in the living room of the palace turned out to be a fake, which is really too strange, so I want to know more about the situation outside the king." ”
After Su Wuming finished speaking, Jiang Ying and Lin Yun already understood, so they took the order and left.
After the two of them left, Su Wuming took someone to Chengfu, because he felt that there were some things that needed to be clarified.
After coming to Cheng's Mansion, Uncle Yun immediately greeted him, but his face was very bad, he was plain white, and he was holding a white towel for funerals.
After a few people sat down in the living room, Uncle Yun spoke: "My lord has been lying in bed because of the heartache of losing his son, and now he has been lying in bed, I'm afraid he can't come to greet Master Su, if Lord Su has anything, just tell me." ”
Su Wuming nodded in understanding, and then asked, "After the rain yesterday, who went out in the house?" ”
Uncle Yun couldn't understand the meaning of Su Wuming's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head again and again: "No one should go out after the rain yesterday, I have been busy taking care of things in the house, and I haven't paid much attention to the people in the house, but I don't seem to have seen the second son, do you want to call the second son to ask?" ”
As soon as she heard Uncle Yun say that she didn't see Cheng Yu, Nangong Yan suddenly became excited and said, "Tell him to come over quickly, if he doesn't have an alibi at the scene, he will be a murderer!" ”
When Uncle Yun heard Nangong Yan's words, his face suddenly changed, and he shook his head again and again: "How can my second son be a murderer, absolutely not, where does Madam say this......" Uncle Yun wanted to say something more, Nangong Yan was already a little angry, and said, "Hurry up and call someone!" ”
Uncle Yun hurriedly ran down, Su Wuming looked at Uncle Yun's back, and was a little incomprehensible for a while, he mentioned that he didn't see Cheng Yu, he deliberately wanted to suspect Cheng Yu, but why did he let himself doubt Cheng Yu, could it be that he was influenced by Cheng Die's meaning?
Not long after, Uncle Yun came over with Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu looked cold, still withdrawn, and stood aside after entering the living room, without saying a word, just waiting for Su Wuming to ask.
Su Wuming glanced at him and asked, "Last night, Fang Shi was killed, you should know, right?" ”
"I heard!"
"And where are you after the rain?"
"I talked to my friends about poetry and painting, and I didn't come back until very late, if Master Su suspected that I had killed Miss Wang, you can ask those friends of mine, and they can testify for me."
Su Wuming frowned slightly, and then wrote down the situation of the people Cheng Yu said, after remembering it like this, Su Wuming suddenly turned his eyes to Uncle Yun and asked, "Uncle Yun did you know when Miss Cheng Die came back yesterday?" ”
Uncle Yun sweated on his forehead, and after hesitating for a long time, he spoke: "About around the time of the unitary, it had been raining for a long time at that time, and the young lady's clothes were a little wet when she came back. ”
When Uncle Yun said these words, Su Wuming glanced at Cheng Yu with his spare eyes, and saw that his face was slightly purple, presumably because the Cheng family's business was not handed over to him to take care of, which made him unhappy.
At this time, Su Wuming smiled lightly and continued to ask: "Now that Cheng Feng has been killed, and Cheng Zhi is bedridden, has the Cheng family's business been handed over to Cheng Die to take care of?" ”
Uncle Yun nodded again and again: "Miss has talent in this area, so naturally she will be taken care of by Miss." ”
After Uncle Yun said this, Cheng Yu suddenly arched his hand and said, "If you don't have anything to ask, you want to leave!" ”
Su Wuming bowed slightly: "Second son, please!" ”
After Cheng Yu left, Su Wuming said to Uncle Yun, "Can you take us to Cheng Feng's room to have a look?" ”
Uncle Yun nodded again and again: "Please!" ”
Cheng Feng's room was very large, it was the kind of ensuite-like room, inside was the bedroom, and there were other things outside, such as tables, wine, etc., Su Wuming glanced inside the room, then looked at Uncle Yun and asked, "Is Cheng Feng's room locked all the time?" ”
Uncle Yun thought for a moment, and then nodded again and again: "Under normal circumstances, it is locked." ”
"Cheng Feng likes to drink a lot?" Su Wuming said, pointing to a few jugs of wine placed in the corner.
"The eldest prince really likes to drink, so he usually has wine in this room!"
After listening to Uncle Yun's answer, Su Wuming nodded slightly, then moved all the wine to the table, and checked it one by one, and after this inspection, he asked, "Who has entered this room since Cheng Feng was poisoned?" ”
"After the young master was killed, only the old master came in once."
"Did he touch the wine here?"
"No, the master never touches the young master's wine."
After leaving the Cheng Mansion, Wen Wan'er looked at Su Wuming and said, "Xianggong is very smart, you should be able to see what Uncle Yun means, right?" ”
"Oh, please Madame!"
"Now that Cheng Feng has been killed, it is very likely that Cheng Mansion will fall on Cheng Die in the future, so Uncle Yun must have slandered Cheng Yu in order to curry favor with Cheng Die!"
"Madam has a delicate and thorough heart, that's right, what Uncle Yun did today does have the intention of pleasing Cheng Die, maybe he has been bought by Cheng Die!"
"So, the person who killed Cheng Feng is likely to be Cheng Die's good friend Liu Fei?"
"But Liu Fei has no reason to kill Fang Shi?"
"Maybe two murderers did it!" Nangong Yan saw the rise of what Su Wuming and Wen Wan'er said, so she suddenly interjected.
But after Nangong Yan said this, Su Wuming and Wen Wan'er were silent again.
Not long after returning home from Chengfu, Jiang Ying and Lin Yun came back, and after the two of them came back, it was Lin Yun who usually spoke first.
"Master Su, then Wu Jun I have investigated clearly, he has a big mansion at home, but the business has shown signs of failure, and this Wu Jun seems to have been infected with the vice of gambling, and the family has almost lost."
When Lin Yun said this, he glanced at Jiang Ying, and then continued: "I think that in order to get the property of the Wang family, it is very likely that Wu Jun will kill all those who pursue Miss Wang, and if he marries Miss Wang, isn't all the property of the Wang family his?" ”
After Lin Yun finished speaking, Jiang Ying shook his head again and again, and then bowed his hand to Su Wuming and said: "Master Su, I have inquired about the affairs of the Wang family, now the Wang family's business is very difficult to do, and the funds are already a little difficult to supply, it can be said that the situation of the Wang family is similar to that of Wu Jun's family, both of them are in decline, so even if Wu Jun marries Miss Wang, I am afraid he will not get much property, why should he kill people for this?" ”
"Maybe Wu Jun didn't know that the Wang family had fallen, if it weren't for Lord Su seeing that the painting in the Wang family's living room was a fake, I'm afraid we wouldn't know about it, right?"
The two quarreled like this, but Su Wuming didn't say a word, and after a long time, when the two of them stopped arguing meaninglessly, Su Wuming smiled faintly: "What you both said makes sense, but don't forget, property is one thing, and the other is beauty!" ”
As soon as Su Wuming said this, everyone immediately understood, even if it was not for property, just to get a beauty like Wang Yanran, then Wu Jun also had a reason to kill.
But is he a murderer?
Everyone felt that this case was a bit complicated and confusing, so Su Wuming asked Lin Yun and them to investigate Cheng Yu's alibi for the time being.
About in the evening, they came back, and after they came back, the result was the same, Cheng Yu did chant poems and paint with his friends last night, and then because the rain was too heavy, they simply stayed at that friend's house.
All people can testify for Cheng Yu, which means that Cheng Yu has no chance of killing Fang Shi at all.
If this is the case, I am afraid that the murderer's purpose is really for Wang Yanran.
Therefore, everyone set their sights on Wu Jun and Zhou Tong, and they wanted to know where they were and what they did last night.
After sending people out, they didn't get word until very late.
Wu Jun said that he was gambling in the casino, and Zhou Tong said that he had been staying at home, and the official went to the casino to investigate, and the people said that they had not seen Wu Jun.
In other words, the alibi of both of them is not true.
But despite this, everyone finally took a step forward, if the murderer really killed Wang Yanran, then these two people are very suspicious, of course, in addition to the two of them, there are Tao Yunzhong and Sun Si.
For this reason, the yamen sent people to monitor these four people.
But after the four of them were monitored, the whole case suddenly came to a standstill, Su Wuming and they couldn't get any clues, and Qian Sheng sent people to find Liu Fei's people There was still no news.
The case is confusing, and people can't figure out what's going on.
But just when everyone thought that the murder case was calm, something suddenly happened that worried everyone.
Another person was poisoned, and he was Sun Si, who was in the medicinal herb business.
When the official came to inform Su Wuming of the news that Sun Si was poisoned, everyone was very surprised, and it was very strange, wasn't Sun Si being watched by the official, how could the murderer dare to kill?
Su Wuming didn't say a word after hearing the news, and hurriedly led people to Sun Si's mansion.
