When I left Huangfu, the sky was a little gloomy, as if it was going to rain.

Seeing this, Su Wuming said to Tang Xiong and Nangong Yan: "Seeing that it is going to rain, you go home first and wait for the news of Qian Sheng, and I will go to the store to see Wan'er." ”

At this time, it was not yet noon, and she didn't want Nangong Yan to go home and wait for the news, so she turned her face sideways and said, "I'll go too!" ”

Su Wuming sometimes really had nothing to do with Nangong Yan, the eldest lady, and finally had to nod in agreement.

The two walked to the store together, but on the way, they suddenly saw Zhao Qing hurrying from the opposite side, the two frowned, Zhao Qing was already approaching, Zhao Qing came to the two, first saluted slightly, and then whispered: "Master Su, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Ever since she knew that Zhao Qing was a gambler, Nangong Yan didn't have a good impression of him, and now seeing him sneaky like this, she was even more disgusted in her heart, but just as she was about to object, Su Wuming suddenly smiled: "Okay, go there!" ”

Su Wuming said and pointed to a place, that place was an alley on the corner of the street, and it was very secluded.

After the three of them arrived at the alley, Su Wuming asked, "Do you have something to do with Lord Ben?" ”

Zhao Qing nodded again and again: "Master Su, last time in the Huang Mansion, because of the relationship between Mrs. Huang, I didn't say some things, I met you on the street today, I must say, you must make the decision for my father, he died unjustly!" Zhao Qing said, and couldn't help but feel sad.

Su Wuming smiled lightly: "Your father's death official will definitely investigate clearly, if you have any clues, just tell me!" ”

Zhao Qing nodded and said: "The murderer who killed my father must be Qin Er, because when he went to pick up Miss Yuan, Qin Er wanted to go very much, he and my father both knew that Miss Yuan would soon become the lady of the Huangfu, so they both wanted to go to her, so whoever picked up Miss Yuan could be the first to let Miss Yuan say more good things in front of the young master, so although Qin Er wanted to go, but there was no close relationship between my father and Miss Yuan, and I fought for my father. So I think it must be Qin Er who was afraid that my father would speak ill of Miss Yuan after seeing him, so he killed my father. ”

After listening to Zhao Qing's words, Su Wuming felt that there was also such a possibility, and it would be very beneficial for him to gain a foothold in the Huangfu in the future, if Uncle Zhao took Yuan Rong, then the position of the shopkeeper of this branch must be Zhao Qing's, and even if he made a mistake, it was possible to sit longer.

It's just that now that Old Madam Huang and Huang Hong are both testifying for Qin Er, even if they suspect him, it's useless!

His brows furrowed slightly, the corners of Su Wuming's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "What you said is very reasonable, it's just that Qin Er didn't go out of the city at all that night, and he couldn't kill people at all!" ”

"This ......" Zhao Qing was taken aback, and then hurriedly asked: "Is it because Old Madam Huang testified for him, so Master Su believed it?" ”

Su Wuming bowed slightly: "If someone testifies, naturally you can't believe it." ”

"Master Su, you can't believe the testimony given by Mrs. Huang, don't you know, this Qin Er, who used to be a runner in the rivers and lakes, is quite eloquent, and likes to pretend to be a ghost, and deceive Mrs. Huang all over the world, and her words to him are simply to the point of obedience, Mrs. Huang has always protected Qin Er, that's the reason."

Qin Er used to run the rivers and lakes, which made Su Wuming a little surprised, and at this time, Zhao Qing continued: "In the past, there was a crisis in the Huang family's business, so Qin Er calculated a hexagram, saying how to turn evil into good fortune, and then Master Huang did what Qin Er said, and the result was really fine, since then, Qin Er's status in the Huang Mansion has been much higher!" ”

After Zhao Qing finished speaking, he was staring at Su Wuming, trying to see something from Su Wuming's expression, but at this time, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, and the dark clouds were pressed down in an instant, and then it rained, and several people hurriedly ran out of the alley, so Zhao Qing said while running: "Master Su, you must think carefully about what I said!" ”

After Zhao Qing said this, he rushed out in the rain, Su Wuming and Nangong Yan hid under an eaves, their clothes were already a little wet, Nangong Yan fanned her sleeves that were a little wet, and said angrily: "It's all Zhao Qing's fault, otherwise we would all go to Sister Wen now, and it would rain there!" ”

Nangong Yan's angry appearance was very beautiful, Su Wuming looked a little stupid, and after a long time, he suddenly smiled and said: "It's also a kind of enjoyment to be drenched in the rain in summer!" As he spoke, he suddenly took Nangong Yan's hand and ran into the rain.

Nangong Yan has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, but she is really not afraid of the rain, she saw Su Wuming running happily with her, and her heart couldn't help but feel comfortable, and the unhappiness just now disappeared in an instant.

The two of them held hands like this, running in the rain, which led to a lot of discussions among passers-by hiding from the rain under the eaves, but at this time, Su Wuming and Nangong Yan ignored it at all.

As long as you're happy, you don't care what others say!

When the two of them ran to the store, they were already soaked, Wen Wan'er saw the two of them like this, her face suddenly sank, and she looked at Su Wuming and blamed: "Running in the rain, you can figure it out, what if you get gonorrhea?" Sister Nangong is a woman, and it's not a joke to suffer from the cold......" After a few words of reproach, Wen Wan'er became worried again, and said: "I have a lot of dry clothes here, you two hurry up and change them, how can you be like a child." ”

In the face of Wen Wan'er's blame, Su Wuming and Nangong Yan really didn't dare to disobey at all, so after the two got the order, they went back to the inner hall again and again to change into clean clothes.

When this was changed, Wen Wan'er had already ordered someone to make hot tea for the two of them, and said: "This is not home, you should drink some hot tea to warm up first, and then boil some ginger soup for you when you go home." ”

Nangong Yan was dressed up at the waist, very sassy, she ran over and grabbed Wen Wan'er's arm, and said a little coquettishly: "Sister Wen is still good to me, which is like Su Lang, you know that you will take me in the rain!" As he spoke, he grimaced at Su Wuming.

A few people were just joking, so they didn't pay much attention to it, and after such a joke, Wen Wan'er asked: "Xianggong, aren't you waiting for Qian Sheng's news at home, why did you come here?" ”

Before Su Wuming could speak, Nangong Yan had already told Huang Hong and Yuan Rong about finding them, of course, including the fact that they met Zhao Qing on the way here.

Wen Wan'er listened quietly on the side, nodded slightly after listening, and said: "In this way, that Qin Er is really very suspicious, whether it is the footprints under Huang Hong's window or the words Zhao Qing said, the spearhead is pointed at Qin Er!" ”

At this time, Su Wuming nodded: "That's true, it's just that we can't overturn the testimony of Old Madam Huang and Huang Hong now!" ”

The three of them chatted for a while, and when they saw that the rain did not stop, they closed the door and went home.

When a few people returned home, the wind and rain were raging, but not long after they returned home, a servant hurriedly ran over, Su Wuming thought that he was here to report the news of investigating Qin Er, but he didn't expect that he said a word of news that surprised everyone.

Zhao Qing died, and was found dead in his yard by a neighbor.

How could this person, who had provided clues to Su Wuming not long ago, suddenly be killed?

After the official finished speaking, it seemed to make Su Wuming feel that their county order was a good official who was diligent and served the people, so he continued: "Lord Qian has already brought people to the scene, and I am here to invite Lord Su to go with him." ”

Su Wuming didn't say anything more, and Tang Xiong took the umbrella and rushed to the scene of the murder with the servant, Nangong Yan was also going to go, but was stopped by Wen Wan'er, saying that she had just finished the rain and was better recuperating at home.

But it was said that when a few people came to Zhao Qing's house in the rain, Zhao Qing's body had been carried into the house from the rain-washed courtyard, and at this time, the door of the house was wide open, and Qian Sheng and several officials were walking around immediately, as if waiting for someone.

When they saw Su Wuming, Qian Sheng hurriedly greeted him: "Master Su, it's raining heavily outside, and the corpse has been carried into the house, are you okay?" ”

It stands to reason that it is better for the corpse to take revenge on the status quo, but even if there are clues on a rainy day, it will be washed away, so Su Wuming bowed slightly: "There is no problem, who found the corpse?" ”

After asking like this, a middle-aged man walked out from behind the official and said, "It's me!" ”

"It's raining so hard, how did you find a body?" As soon as Su Wuming came up, he started to ask.

The middle-aged man's face was slightly nervous, and said: "I am neighbors with Zhao Qing, I wanted to find him to go to the casino to play this morning, but unfortunately I couldn't find him, and then it rained, I think he should always be at home, even if you can't go to the casino, the two of us can play at home and save time, so I found it, but who would have thought that I just pushed the door in, and saw Zhao Qing's body lying in the courtyard in the heavy rain, bleeding ...... The blood stained the rain near the corpse red, it was so scary! ”

After listening to the middle-aged man's words, Su Wuming snorted coldly, things gather like things, and people gather in groups, it really makes sense.

Qian Sheng saw that Su Wuming didn't ask anymore, and hurriedly made way for Su Wuming to examine the body.

Su Wuming came to Zhao Qing's corpse and examined it carefully, and found that the deceased's eye holes were enlarged, his facial expression was a little distorted, there was a wound on his back, and there was no external injury on the rest of the place. ”

Su Wuming got up and looked at the corpse, smiled lightly, and said: "Judging from the facial expressions and wounds of the corpse, the situation should be like this at that time, Zhao Qing saw the murderer and was very scared, so he turned around and wanted to escape, and at this time, the murderer chased him and killed him, Lord Qian, where is the head of the corpse facing?" ”

"Head in, feet out!"

"So Zhao Qing was about to escape back to the house at that time!"
