After the rain in Hangzhou City, it is very delicate and beautiful, if you look at it, the people of the houses in the distance are in the faint smoke cloud, as if it is a painting.

According to Qi Zhong, this Du Feng was broken by Qi Fa and had a hard time making a living, so it was not impossible to have hatred.

So Su Wuming and the others decided to go to Xiaolantang Hutong to find Du Feng.

Xiaolantang Hutong is a very lively place, but the liveliness of this place is not much different from the liveliness of other places, although it is lively here, it is not prosperous, because the people living here are poor people or hooligans, and there are also stalls here, but these stalls sell the cheapest things, and some of these things make people look at it and can't arouse a little good feeling or appetite.

But for the people of this place, they may not be able to afford these things.

The gap between the rich and the poor, no matter what the era, exists.

Su Wuming sighed, led people through layers of crowds, and finally came to Du Feng's home.

It was a somewhat dilapidated house, the door was not locked, Su Wuming knocked on it, the door creaked open, but there was no sound inside, Tang Xiong saw this, suddenly became vigilant, and said, "Brother Su, I'll go in first!" ”

Saying that, Tang Xiong strode into the house, but as soon as he entered, he immediately covered his nose and rushed out: "The smell in this room is really unpleasant, I don't know how Du Feng can live." ”

The smell of the entire small alley alley is unpleasant, not to mention Du Feng's house, Su Wuming frowned slightly, and asked, "Is there no one inside?" ”

"No one, not even a figure!"

"Maybe this Du Feng is still helping people watch the door, and he hasn't come back!"

"What then, do you want us to wait here?"

Su Wuming glanced at the sky and said, "It's not early, I think that Du Feng should be back soon, it's better to wait for him, but the taste here is really not good, we are waiting outside the small alley alley, his leg is broken, it should be very easy to identify." ”

Everyone didn't want to stay inside for a long time, and after listening to Su Wuming's words, they agreed again and again, and then returned to the same way.

And on the way back when a few people turned around, they encountered a big man bullying a beggar, the big man reached out and snatched a copper coin from the beggar's bowl, the beggar kept begging for mercy, but it was useless, and he was even punched by the big man.

This scene happened in the alley of the small alley, but none of the people around were willing to persuade him.

Even in the circle of the poor, there are indescribable hierarchies, and it is sometimes really difficult for people to live in peace.

Su Wuming sighed, and then asked Tang Xiong to pull the big man away, but just as Tang Xiong took a step, Su Wuming suddenly called out to him, because he found that one of the big man's left legs was very inconvenient.

In such a place, a person with inconvenient legs couldn't help but remind Su Wuming of the Du Feng they were looking for.

So after calling out to Tang Xiong, Su Wuming said to Tang Xiong: "Escort that big man here!" ”

The big man's figure is on par with Tang Xiong, but his strength and skills are much worse, so as soon as Tang Xiong made a move, the big man was immediately captured, and after Tang Xiong fought with this big man, he found that his feet seemed to be a little inconvenient, Tang Xiong was not stupid, after noticing this, he immediately understood why Su Wuming asked him to take this big man away.

The alley was very noisy, the big man was captured by Tang Xiong, many people made a sound of joy, Su Wuming didn't want to interrogate the big man in this place, so after Tang Xiong caught the big man, Su Wuming led them to a secluded place.

After arriving at a secluded place, Tang Xiong threw the big man to the ground, the big man already knew that he was afraid, and begged for mercy again and again, Su Wuming snorted coldly and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"I ...... My name is Du Feng! ”

Several people glanced at each other, and they really guessed correctly.

"This official is the Dali Temple Si Zhi Su Wuming, I am here to ......" Su Wuming's words were not finished, Du Feng suddenly knelt down, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The villain knows that he is wrong, the villain should not rob the beggar of the money, beg the adult to spare his life, the villain will never dare to ...... in the future."

Su Wuming frowned slightly, and said, "You really shouldn't have robbed that beggar's money, but Lord Ben didn't come here today for such a trivial matter, Lord Ben came to ask you, did you work in Qi Fa's shop before?" ”

A cold sweat broke out on Du Feng's forehead, and he nodded after a long time: "That's right, the villain did work at Qi Fa, but later because of a mistake, he coaxed him out!" ”

"He broke one of your legs?"

"That's right!" Du Feng said, squinting at his legs, and when he looked at his legs, his eyes were full of hatred.

"So, do you know that Qi Fa was killed when it was raining heavily today?"

"Killed?" Du Feng was surprised in his words, but more of a surprise, but he quickly noticed that it was not good, and replied again and again: "How could Qi Fa be killed, the villain doesn't know about it." ”

Su Wuming frowned slightly and asked, "Where were you before and after the rain?" ”

"Villain...... The villain was guarding the door at the patron's house, and it was raining very much, and the villain didn't go there! ”

"Really?"

Su Wuming looked at Du Feng's clothes, and then asked, "You are guarding the door, did you go out on the way?" ”

"No, absolutely not!"

"Nonsense!" Su Wuming suddenly scolded, and then said: "There are traces of rain on your clothes, if you have been staying at the customer's house before and after the rain, how can this clothes be wet, you had better explain honestly, otherwise you will be put in prison, but it will not be so cheap for you!" ”

was scolded by Su Wuming, Du Feng suddenly fell on the ground in fright and kowtowed to beg for mercy, and finally had no choice but to tell the truth.

"When it started to rain, the villain suddenly itched, wanted to play two, so he secretly went to the gambling house with the master's house, at first he won, but then he lost it all, after the rain stopped, I rushed back again and again, I held my stomach in my heart, I went home after work, I met the beggar, he didn't have any eyesight, and asked me for a reward, Lao Tzu...... Small...... The villain was worried about every anger, so he taught him a lesson. ”

After Du Feng said this, he hurriedly said: "What the villain said is true, he really went to the gambling house to gamble, Master Su, you can't doubt the villain, although the villain hates that Qi Fa, he will never dare to kill anyone!" ”

Su Wuming pondered for a moment, and then asked Du Feng to tell him where he went to gamble, and asked Song to send someone to investigate, and after such an inquiry, he let Du Feng leave.

Song Jingtian was a little puzzled by letting go of a suspect like Du Feng, and hurriedly asked: "Master Su, just let Du Feng go back like this, what if he escapes?" ”

Su Wuming smiled lightly: "If he escapes, it just proves that there is something wrong with him!" ”

After coming out of the alley, Su Wuming said to Song Jingtian: "The matter of looking for Scareye can't be relaxed, and there is also the matter of Miss Qi Fang, I think Miss Qi Fang's disappearance and Qi Fa's killing may be related." ”

Song Jingtian nodded, and arched his hand: "Master Su, don't worry, the official has been looking for Scareye and Miss Qi Fang, as soon as there is news, we will immediately go to the court." Song Jingtian said this, a little hesitant, and said: "I heard that Lord Su has been living in the inn, judging from his humble position, the inn is full of people, and it is better for Lord Su to move to the post house!" ”

Su Wuming did not have any disagreement on Song Jingtian's proposal, I don't know when this murder case will be solved, it is indeed a little inconvenient for them to live in the inn, so Su Wuming handed over the matter to Song Jingtian to arrange, Song Jingtian did things very quickly, and in the evening of this day, they lived in the Hangzhou Post House.

And at dusk, Lin Yun, who was sent to investigate Qi Zhong, hurriedly ran back, and after he came back, he immediately said, "Master Su, this Qi Zhong is really suspicious!" ”

Su Wuming sighed and asked, "How can you see it?" ”

"After the investigation of his subordinates, it was found that this Qi Zhong was in Qi Fa's house when he was young, and he was often harshly scolded by Qi Fa, and sometimes even abused.

After Lin Yun finished speaking, everyone already understood what he meant, Qi Zhong was humiliated when he was young, and he would inevitably take revenge when he grew up, and it was completely possible to kill people and take away Qi Fa's property for this reason.

Su Wuming pondered for a moment, and then asked, "You investigate Qi Zhong, do you know where he was during the period of rain?" ”

"I don't know this, but according to what he said, it seems that he has been staying in the house, and then he suddenly thought of something, so he went to look for Qi Fa, and it turned out that Qi Fa died in the house, Master Su, judging from his confessions, he definitely has time to kill."

Su Wuming nodded: "He does have a chance to kill, but these are just speculations, I'm afraid I can't do evidence, you work harder and see if you can find other clues." ”

After Lin Yun took the order to leave, it was getting late, Su Wuming and Wen Wan'er and Nangong Yan went back to the house to rest, but at this time, Su Wuming suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and thought of something, when he thought of something, his footsteps stopped, and his face also showed joy, Wen Wan'er saw this, and hurriedly asked, "Why is Xianggong so excited?" ”

Su Wuming smiled lightly: "I know where Qi Fang is!" ”

"Where?" Nangong Yan asked with some curiosity.

"Baiyin Temple!"

"Baiyin Temple?" Wen Wan'er was a little surprised, and then hurriedly asked, "Could it be that this Qi Fang didn't leave Baiyin Temple at all?" ”

Su Wuming smiled and shook his head: "No, this Qi Fang left Baiyin Temple, but he was arrested again; The two ladies imagined that Qi Fang did not return home after leaving Baiyin Temple, but the servants went to other places and found no trace of her, and those bandits were so sure that Qi Fang would take that road, but why were those bandits so sure? ”
