The sky was a little more gloomy, the wind was blowing a faint coolness, and a storm seemed to be coming.

Nangong Yan's words were recognized by everyone, she looked quite proud, Su Wuming smiled lightly after listening to it: "What the two ladies said makes sense, since this is the case, then send someone to investigate this Qi Zhong!" ”

After Su Wuming finished speaking, Jiang Ying immediately bowed his hand and said, "Go down and do this!" ”

Su Wuming nodded, and then said to Lin Yun: "Jiang Ying went to investigate Qi Zhong, there is something you need to do!" ”

"Please command, Lord Su!"

"I want you to go to Yangzhou quickly, investigate the Jin Ding who had a marriage contract with Miss Qi Fang, and see where he is now, and what he thinks about Qi Fang's disappearance!"

After Lin Yun received the order, he could leave, and not long after Jiang Ying and Lin Yun left, a thunderclap sounded in the sky, and then it rained heavily.

The rain in early autumn was fierce, and it was carried by strong winds, Su Wuming and others did not bring umbrellas when they went out, so they had to temporarily take shelter from the rain under an eaves, and even after the rain was a little lighter, they went to the nearby shops to buy a few umbrellas and rushed back to the inn.

When I returned to the inn, the inn was full of people, some were eating, and some were purely to avoid the rain, but since I was sitting in the inn, I was embarrassed to order nothing, so the guests would order a pot of tea and a few cheap side dishes, and chat while drinking.

The innkeeper knew Su Wuming and the others, and when they entered the inn, the shopkeeper immediately greeted him, and said with a smile: "Lord Su, you are back, do you need to bring the food upstairs for you?" ”

Su Wuming glanced at the inn full of people, and then nodded.

After a while, the shopkeeper brought the food to Su Wuming and others, and several people chatted while eating, occasionally looking out of the window, only to see the house outside in the mist and rain, very ethereal, like a fairyland, which made people feel comfortable.

But not long after a few people finished lunch, Song Jingtian hurried over, seeing Song Jingtian in such a hurry, Su Wuming hurriedly asked, "But what clues do you have?" ”

Song shook his head: "Su ...... Master Su, something is wrong, that ...... That Qi Fa was killed! ”

"Qi Fa was killed?" Su Wuming and the others were shocked, because they really couldn't figure out how this Qi Fa could be killed.

There was no time to say anything else, Su Wuming immediately took people to Qi Mansion, this place they had just been, they really couldn't believe that the people they had met and chatted with just now were killed not long after they separated.

At this time, the rain has become lighter, and the light rain hits the face coldly, but when the wind blows, the face is dry.

On the way, Song Jingtian explained: "Not long after the heavy rain, a person named Qi Zhong from Qi Mansion came to the mansion to report the case, saying that Qi Fa was killed in his house, and according to Qi Zhong, after it started to rain, Qi Fa went back to the house to rest, after the rain was light, Qi Zhong suddenly remembered that there were some things in the store to discuss with Qi Fa, so he went to find Qi Fa, but when he came to Qi Fa's door, he found that the door was wide open, and Qi Fa's body was lying in the house, bleeding all over the ground!" ”

After listening to Song Jingtian's words, Tang Xiong suddenly said angrily: "This Qi Zhong must be the murderer!" ”

"That's right, he's definitely a murderer!" Nangong Yan hurriedly echoed, and the words of the two of them made Song Jingtian a little puzzled for a while, and asked again and again: "Is this ...... What the hell is going on? ”

Su Wuming smiled lightly and said: "Song Zhutou may not know that this Qi Zhong is Qi Fa's nephew, if Qi Fang disappears and Qi Fa dies again, this Qi family's Wanguan family business will become Qi Zhong's!" ”

After Su Wuming finished speaking, Song Jingtian suddenly realized and said, "So, this Qi Zhong is really a murderer?" ”

"It's impossible to determine whether it's the murderer, but the suspicion is great."

A few people said and entered the Qi Mansion.

At this time, the Qi Mansion was scattered because of a heavy rain, and the entire courtyard was remnant, and some wooden leaves were mixed in the soil, so it was not desolate.

And outside Qi Fa's bedroom, there were several servants, which Song Jingtian sent to guard the scene before going to ask Su Wuming, behind these servants, there were several subordinates standing tremblingly, the first one was Qi Zhong, when Qi Zhong saw Su Wuming and others, he suddenly cried and greeted him, and said, "Master Su, you are finally here, this is ...... It happened so suddenly, it was unexpected, my uncle...... He...... How did he suddenly disappear! ”

Qi Zhong's words were full of sadness, and his expression was sad, if all this was pretended, then he was really a person who was very good at pretending.

Su Wuming didn't say much to Qi Zhong, but said, "Let's examine the corpse first!" ”

Song Jingtian led Su Wuming and others into the bedroom, and then saw Qi Fa's body, at this time, Qi Fa's body had not yet appeared corpse spots, but the blood had dried slightly, Su Wuming leaned over to check it, got up and said: "The deceased has no signs of poisoning, there are eight external injuries, of which the knife wound in the heart is fatal, and the knife wound in the remaining seven places is not very serious, I think it was added by the murderer later." ”

After Su Wuming finished speaking, his brows condensed slightly, Song Jingtian glanced at the corpse, and sighed: "Since the murderer wants to kill someone, he will be killed with one knife, why should he leave so many scars on the corpse?" ”

After everyone glanced at each other, they were a little puzzled, Su Wuming did not answer Song Jingtian's question for the time being, after he examined the body, he glanced at Qi Fa's bedroom, and found that the bedroom was slightly messy, a chair fell to the ground half-diagonally, thinking that after the murderer rushed in, there was a short fight with Qi Fa; In addition, the bed in the bedroom was a little messy, the bedside table was open, and there were immediately some broken silver and copper coins, as well as a piece of beautiful jade, after Su Wuming saw this, his brows furrowed again, thinking that if the murderer was for money, he would definitely take these things away, but now that the cabinet is open, there is no shortage of money immediately, I don't think it is for money!

After reading it like this, Su Wuming answered Song Jingtian's question.

"After the murderer came in, there was a little fight with Qi Fa, but this fight was not very long, after all, Qi Fa was old, and the murderer wanted to kill him, so the house looked a little messy, and after the murderer killed, he did not take the money, and there were a few knives on the body of the deceased, the only explanation is that the murderer hated the deceased very much, and he killed just to vent his anger."

After Su Wuming finished speaking, everyone said yes again and again, it's just a person like Qi Fa, who would hate him to the point of killing him and then make up for a few knives?

Everyone looked at each other, and finally set their eyes on Qi Zhong, of course, everyone understood that even if Qi Zhong was for money, it was impossible for Qi Zhong to hate Qi Fa like this, but they felt that Qi Zhong should know a little bit about Qi Fa's enemies.

When Qi Zhong found that everyone's eyes were on him, his heart suddenly tightened, and then he was covered with cold sweat, but soon, he asked rhetorically: "Why do you look at me like this, do you suspect that I killed my uncle?" ”

Seeing Qi Zhong ask like this, the corners of Su Wuming's mouth twitched slightly, and said, "Do you have a reason to kill Qi Fa?" ”

"I ......" Qi Zhong hesitated for a moment, but soon, he explained: "I know you doubt me, after all, Fang Mei disappeared, my uncle was killed again, and now in the entire Qi Mansion, I am the one who benefits the most, but my uncle raised me as an adult and taught me how to do business, I am afraid that I will not be able to repay his kindness to me for the rest of my life, how can I kill my uncle?" ”

Qi Zhong's parents died and Qi Fa adopted him, this Qi Fa did have the grace of nurturing him, Qi Zhong was right, but Su Wuming felt that human nature is extremely complex, and people's hearts are even more unpredictable and fickle, in the case of human homicide, everything unexpected can happen, and now Qi Zhong said these words, you can't fully believe them, but now Su Wuming has no intention to judge whether what Qi Zhong said is true or false, and now he wants to know what Qi Fa has enemies.

"Qi Gongzi, now that your uncle has been killed like this, I think the murderer hates your uncle to the core, so Lord Ben wants to ask you to think about it carefully, does Qi Fa have such an enemy!"

When Qi Zhong heard Su Wuming's words, he suddenly realized that he had thought too much just now, and he regretted it a little, didn't what he said just now give Su Wuming a reason for them to doubt themselves?

couldn't manage these for the time being, Qi Zhong had to deal with Su Wuming's problem first.

After thinking about it carefully, Qi Zhong said: "Uncle, he is usually very friendly, and he usually doesn't offend anyone, but because he is in business, it is inevitable that he will have conflicts with people, I remember that there was a guy in the store before, because of a mistake that caused a very serious loss to the store, so my uncle was very angry, so he ordered someone to break one of his legs, and then kicked him out, I don't know if this is considered an enemy?" ”

After listening to Qi Zhong's words, Su Wuming pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "This should indeed be considered an enemy, I don't know what the name of the guy with the broken leg is, and where did he go later?" ”

"That guy's name is Du Feng, he is very burly, because his uncle broke a leg, so he can't do physical work, I heard that since then, he has been helping people guard the door, who to see, I don't know."

"You should know where he lives, right?"

"I know this, he lives in the small alley."

"Is there anyone else besides this Du Feng?"

"No, in my memory, he was taught a hard lesson by his uncle!"

Su Wuming nodded, and then ordered someone to take the body away, then led people out of Qifu, when leaving Qifu, the rain had stopped, the wind had subsided, there were faint clouds floating in the sky in the distance, the sun showed its head behind the clouds, and the entire Hangzhou city suddenly became elegant after the autumn rain.

Song ordered Qi Fa's body to be sent to the mansion, and then asked Su Wuming, "Lord Su, what should I do next?" ”

"Go to the small alley alley and meet Du Feng!"
