The courtyard of the Wen family was a little dilapidated due to yesterday's wind and rain, with scattered flowers and fragrant wind.

Touching this scene, it is inevitable that people will feel desolate.

Su Wuming didn't have much emotion about this, after he and Wen Wan'er came to the courtyard, he spoke: "Miss Wen, there were so many people just now, there is a question that I can't ask, now it's just the two of us here, I want to ask, how did your father suddenly become bedridden?" ”

Wen Wan'er looked sad and said: "This is still three years ago, I remember that it was a cold and snowy winter, my father hurried home from the store, suddenly fell, and then couldn't stand up, after the servant carried him home, immediately asked the doctor to see, the doctor said that he just fell to the tailbone, and there was no big problem, just recuperate for a while, but who would have thought that since the father lay in bed that winter, he never got up. ”

"How did your father feel at the time?"

"At first, it was just a pain in the body, and I could only lie in bed, and then I was weak, and I wanted to get out of bed but I couldn't do anything, even if I usually wanted to go outside to see, I had to be supported by someone, and in recent months, it seems that the condition has worsened, and my father has been lying in bed and sleeping for a lot of time, and he doesn't talk much."

After listening to Wen Wan'er's words, Su Wuming frowned slightly, and then asked, "What does the doctor think about this matter?" ”

"After the doctor saw it, he also felt strange, and said that he couldn't do anything, and found several doctors, all of whom said so, and then my father seemed to be used to lying in bed, so he didn't let us find a doctor to see him anymore."

After Wen Wan'er finished saying this, she hurriedly asked, "Young Master Su, is there anything strange about this?" ”

Su Wuming glanced at Wen Wan'er, but did not answer, only continued to ask, "Has your father ever said strange things to you?" ”

"Strange words?"

"Yes, for example, when you were with him, did he say anything strange to you?"

Wen Wan'er was reminded by Su Wuming like this, as if she really thought of something, so she hurriedly said: "I remember a month ago, I was alone in the house with my father, and my father's complexion was quite good at that time, and he suddenly told me that he felt very uneasy, and he felt as if he was being watched all day long, I listened to him, and I didn't think so at the time, and persuaded him that he was sick, so naturally someone had to watch him all day long, and someone was watching him there." ”

After Wen Wan'er said these words, she stared at Su Wuming, Su Wuming frowned, and then smiled lightly: "Miss Wen's words are not bad, but your father has been in bed for almost three years, why did he suddenly feel that he was being watched at that time, did Miss Wen think about it?" ”

Wen Wan'er shook her head, but she had already heard a little meaning from Su Wuming's words, since her father was bedridden, there have been people serving him almost every moment in the past three years, if things are like what he said, it is because someone serves his father that he will have the feeling of being watched, then he should have felt watched from the beginning, why did he suddenly speak after three years?

A gust of wind blew, blowing a burst of warmth, the sun shone in the courtyard, and as far as the eye could see, only a piece of greenery was seen.

Without the flowers, this garden is beautiful!

At this time, the officials who were sent out to investigate Tong Yu and Shang Que rushed back, and they reported that what Tong Yu and Shang Que said was not bad at all, after two o'clock in the afternoon yesterday, and three o'clock ago, they were indeed as they said, Tong Yu was in the store, and Shang Que was comforting the families of those kidnapped guys.

After listening to the report of the officer, Wen Wan'er hurriedly said: "In this way, the uncle and the shopkeeper Tong are not murderers, then the murderers are only ......" Speaking of this, Wen Wan'er suddenly stopped, because now Su Wuming suspects only the three of them, Shang Que and Tong Yu are not, so only the maid Qingmei is left.

After the official left, Su Wuming looked at Wen Wan'er and said, "Does Miss Wen think Qingmei may be the murderer?" ”

"Qingmei has been in the house for many years and has been serving my father, so she shouldn't be a murderer, besides, she has no reason to kill my father, if she wants to kill my father, there are many opportunities, why wait until this time?"

Wen Wan'er didn't say anything without reason, but Su Wuming only touched his chin, he felt that any thing, especially a murder case, could not only be seen on the surface, whether a person had a motive to kill someone or not was to dig and discover.

Now, he is pointing the finger at Qingmei for the time being.

It's just that when Su Wuming hadn't launched an investigation into Qingmei, a piece of news came that disrupted their plan.

This news still came from Nangong Yin's servants, who said that the person who bought a large batch of silk cloth in the Wen family's shop a few days ago had been found, and the whereabouts of the silk cloth were already known.

Wen Wan'er heard the news and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Li Fucai Li Yuanwai, he suddenly wanted to get involved in the textile world of Luoyang City, when he knew that your goods were going to be transported to the capital, he sent a letter to the bandits along the way, and before he got his hands on it, he bought most of the inventory in your store, so that you could not make a difference, and it would be difficult to gain a foothold in Luoyang City."

After the official finished speaking, Wen Wan'er and Su Wuming were very surprised, Su Wuming was even more surprised, he felt that he should have thought of it a long time ago, that Li Fucai wanted to seize their Su family workshop, but he didn't succeed, and later opened a shop opposite the Su family's workshop, didn't he just want to become big in Luoyang City?

"What happened to Li Fucai now?"

"Because Lord Nangong suspected that Li Fucai might kill people because of this, he sent someone to detain him in the government prison."

"Where's Zhu Jin?" Wen Wan'er looked at the official and asked.

The official hesitated at first, and finally said, "I was also imprisoned!" ”

Seeing that the official was like this, Su Wuming suddenly understood, thinking that Nangong Yin had found some clues from Zhu Jin, but he was afraid that he would know about it, so he told the official not to talk too much, so as not to let himself seize the opportunity.

Su Wuming was not interested in the clues found by Nangong Yin, so after smiling lightly, he said: "Lord Nangong is really fast, and he arrested the two suspects in prison at once, please express your admiration to Lord Nangong on my behalf." ”

The official didn't hear the irony implied in Su Wuming's words, nodded and then retreated.

After the official left, Wen Wan'er hurriedly asked: "Master Su, is it possible that Li Fucai is the murderer who killed my father, he saw that his plan failed, and it is very likely that he will have another plan?" ”

Su Wuming smiled lightly: "Miss Wen, Ling Zun was poisoned and died, with Li Fucai's ability, is it possible for him to come to Ling Zun's room quietly and poison him?" ”

"So the murderer is still on those three people in our Wen Mansion?"

Su Wuming nodded: "I am afraid that there are only three of them who can enter Ling Zun's room at will, and poison it so that your father can't detect it, and eat the green plum meal, and now we have to find out who among the three of them may be the murderer." ”

Wen Wan'er's expression was solemn, these three people were very close to their Wen family, no matter who was the murderer, it was difficult for her to accept.

Qiao'er and Tang Xiong saw that Su Wuming and Wen Wan'er had been talking in the courtyard for so long, and they couldn't wait, so at this time, Qiao'er suddenly rushed out, she came to Su Wuming, and asked, "Master Su, what are you talking about, can't Tang Xiong and I listen?" ”

Su Wuming was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly smiled: "Miss Qiao'er said that, I have something to ask Miss Qiao'er!" ”

Hearing Su Wuming ask herself, Qiao'er was startled at first, and then said, "What are you going to ask me?" ”

"That's right, after a period of investigation, we feel that the maid Qingmei is very suspicious, have you found anything, and this discovery is related to Qingmei's hatred of Master Wen?"

"Hate the master?" Qiao'er was a little surprised, but soon, she said: "I do know something, but I don't know if Qingmei will hate the master because of this, after all...... After all, being able to be like the old man is a blessing from Qingmei's cultivation. ”

Hearing Qiao'er say this, Su Wuming hurriedly asked, "Oh, what is that?" ”

Qiao'er's cheeks were slightly red, and then she said: "That was a few years ago, when the old man was not bedridden, and one day I happened to pass by the old man's room and found ...... I found that the old man pressed Qingmei under him......"

Qiao'er didn't continue, because she didn't need to say it anymore, everyone was an adult, so they naturally understood what Qingmei and Wen Chen were doing at that time, and after knowing what Qingmei and Wen Chen were doing at that time, everyone naturally understood why Qiao'er blushed.

As soon as Qiao'er finished speaking, Wen Wan'er asked with a surprised face: "Qiao'er, you found out about this matter, why didn't you tell me?" ”

"I ...... I...... Miss, how can I be embarrassed to say this kind of thing! ”

This kind of thing is really hard to say, Wen Chen's family is rich, and after his wife died, there was no renewal, and it is okay to take a maid to put out the fire, and Qingmei has been serving Wen Chen, thinking that in the eyes of outsiders, she is equivalent to Wen Chen's concubine.

While everyone was thinking, Qiao'er hurriedly asked, "Miss, will Qingmei be the murderer?" The lord is fortunate to her, she should be happy, it is impossible to say that she holds a grudge against the lord, after all, she has a relationship with the lord, and her identity is much higher than her being a maid. ”

Wen Wan'er couldn't answer Qiao'er's question, because people are different, some people think it's an honor, but some people think it's a shame, a stain on a woman's life, if Qingmei belongs to the latter kind of person, then will she find an opportunity to kill Wen Chen to vent her anger?

Tang Xiong stood aside, and after listening to Qiao'er's words, he suddenly said: "Call that Qingmei girl to ask, don't you know if she hates Master Wen or not!" ”

Su Wuming smiled: "Now that Master Wen has been killed, even if Qingmei hates Master Wen, he doesn't dare to admit it, but it's okay to call her over and ask!" ”
