The courtyard is lonely and the leaves are flying.

The young girl suddenly stood up from the stone steps, and was a little overwhelmed for a moment, she first took a step back, and then hurried forward.

"Su ...... Master Su, why are you here? ”

Su Wuming smiled lightly: "Come and ask the young girl a few questions!" ”

Qingqing was slightly surprised, but quickly nodded: "Let's go into the house and talk about it!" ”

"No need, just here, Qingqing girl, you should already know whose head is today, right?"

Qingqing's eyes suddenly widened, with a puzzled expression, and after a long time, she nodded: "Yes...... It's Master Cao's head! ”

The corners of Su Wuming's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Since the Qingqing girl knows that the head belongs to Cao Yunxing, then she should know the intention of this adult's trip!" ”

"The little girl doesn't understand, please make it clear to Master Su!"

"Don't you think it's strange to hear that Cao Geng often goes in and out of your mansion, and his father's head suddenly appears in your house?"

After Su Wuming said this, he kept staring at Qingqing, Qingqing was startled at first, then his face turned purple, and he said tremblingly: "Su ...... Master Su already knows? ”

Su Wuming bowed slightly: "It's not very difficult to investigate this matter, so please ask the young girl to answer the official's question truthfully." ”

Qingqing nodded, then lowered her head.

"What is your relationship with Cao Geng?"

"The little woman is in Qiantang, and Cao Gongzi sees me as pitiful, so he buys me such a courtyard, and often comes here to see me!"

"Did he come last night?"

When Qingqing heard this, he raised his head suddenly, and then nodded slightly: "He did come to me last night!" ”

"But what did I say to you?"

"No, after Cao Gongzi came to me, he did what men like to do, and then left!"

Su Wuming frowned slightly, he naturally understood what Qingqing said that men like to do, but he felt that things would not be so simple.

"Did you recognize whose head it was when you saw it this morning?"

"No, I didn't understand what was going on until I saw Cao Gongzi!"

After asking Qingqing these questions, Su Wuming took people to Cao's Mansion.

After entering Cao Geng's mansion, it was already covered with white cloth, and everyone's faces were gloomy, after finding Cao Geng, Su Wuming's face was slightly cold, and he asked: "You and Qingqing have known each other for a long time, why do you pretend not to know each other when you go to her mansion today?" ”

Cao Geng's face changed suddenly, and then he explained again and again: "When the grass people suddenly saw their father's head, they were really sad, and they had no time to take care of anything else, and they ...... Moreover, the grass people felt very suspicious about the appearance of their father's head in Qingqing's house, and they were afraid of ...... I am afraid that after recognizing Qingqing, I will be suspected by Lord Su. ”

Cao Geng's reason made sense, but at this time, Su Wuming still had doubts in his heart.

"Since you came back from Qingqing last night, why did you say that you were resting at home?"

When Cao Geng heard Su Wuming's words, he was first surprised, and then hurriedly explained: "I did come back from Qingqing, but I have been staying with my wife since I came back, and at that time, my father should not have been killed!" ”

Cao Geng's face turned red, as if he was too excited, and at this time, Jiang Ying rushed in from outside, and after he whispered in Su Wuming's ear, Su Wuming suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth, and after bowing his head slightly, he said to Cao Geng: "Now that Ling Zun has been killed, how will the property in the house be distributed?" ”

"Naturally, it is divided into three parts, one for each of me and Cao Yin, and one for Aunt Lian, why, Lord Su suspects me of killing my father for these properties?"

Su Wuming smiled lightly: "Of course you won't kill your father for these properties, but it is possible for your younger brother Cao Yin to do so, because the official has received definite information that your brother's debts outside have all been paid off, and in addition, your father has a lot of complaints about your brother's debts outside, isn't it?" ”

Cao Geng's face changed greatly, and he suddenly said: "Lord Su, this is absolutely impossible, although my brother is playing more presumptuously outside, he will definitely not be able to do the murder of his father, Lord Su must be aware of it!" ”

At this time, Cao Geng actually interceded for Cao Yin, Su Wuming frowned slightly, and asked, "What is your father's attitude towards Cao Yin's debts outside?" ”

"My father is naturally very angry about this matter, but angry is angry, Cao Yin is a descendant of the Cao family after all, my father can't say that he drove him out of the Cao Mansion because he owed debts outside, and it is absolutely impossible for my younger brother to kill our father in order to repay the debt!"

Cao Geng's words sounded like they were interceding for Cao Yin, but if they were carefully scrutinized, they provided Su Wuming with some clues and possibilities, maybe Cao Yunxing really had the intention of driving Cao Yin out of Cao Mansion, and maybe Cao Yin really killed his father in order to avoid being kicked out of Cao Mansion.

It's just that these words came out of Cao Geng's mouth, which made Su Wuming a little more suspicious of him.

Just when Su Wuming was thinking about Cao Geng's words just now, Lin Yun had already called Cao Yin, at this time Cao Yin was a little shrunken, and his complexion was also very bad, and his face turned pale after seeing Su Wuming, Su Wuming glanced at him and asked, "I heard that you have paid off all the debts outside?" ”

"I ......" Cao Yin was a little surprised, he didn't seem to expect Su Wuming to find out about these things.

"Don't me, I'll be me, hurry up and answer the question!" Nangong Yan reprimanded a little angrily.

"It's paid off!"

"Where did the money come from?"

Cao Yin hesitated a little, but after a long time, he still replied: "Taking advantage of the chaos in the house in the past two days, the expenses from the treasury were deducted." After Cao Yin answered this question, he suddenly realized something, so he hurriedly said: "Although I deducted the money, I won't kill people for this, Lord Su can't doubt me!" ”

Seeing that Cao Yin was not stupid, Su Wuming smiled lightly, but his suspicion of him did not decrease.

Because Cao Yunxing's head was found, the entire Cao Mansion is very busy now, after Cao Geng and Cao Yin answered the questions, they went to work separately, and Su Wuming and the others had nothing to ask, so they were ready to leave.

But just as they were about to leave, Cao Geng's wife Wei Ying suddenly appeared in front of Su Wuming and the others, and said a little sneakily: "Master Su, the woman has something to tell you, I don't know if I can take a step to speak?" ”

Seeing Wei Ying like this, Su Wuming thought that there was some clue to provide, so he followed Wei Ying to a secluded place, Nangong Yan and they were going to follow, but they were stopped by Su Wuming.

After the two arrived in no man's land, Wei Ying immediately said, "Master Su, do you already know about my husband and ...... Something with Qingqing? ”

Suddenly hearing Wei Ying say such a sentence, Su Wuming was surprised and asked, "Madam knows about Cao Geng and Qingqing?" ”

Wei Ying nodded a little lonely: "I'm not a fool, my husband often comes back very late, and it's not to go to find a woman to blame." After Wei Ying said this, her expression suddenly changed, and she said: "Master Su, that Qingqing has a close relationship with my husband, so the woman thinks that someone must have thrown her head at Qingqing's house in order to frame my husband, and ...... And I suspect that the person who did this is likely to be the little brother-in-law Cao Yin. ”

Wei Ying's thoughts are similar to what Su Wuming and they thought, but after listening to Cao Geng's words, and now listening to Wei Ying's words, Su Wuming suddenly had a very strange feeling, could it be that the couple killed Cao Yunxing and then threw their heads at the Qingqing girl's house, so that because of the relationship between the Qingqing girl and Cao Geng, no one would suspect him?

Su Wuming frowned slightly, and said: "But the night Ling Zun was killed, Cao Yin was in his room all the time, and after killing someone, how did he leave the mansion and throw his head into Qingqing's house, it is impossible for Ah Bing, the doorman in your mansion, to say that he saw Cao Yin leaving with his things and didn't say anything else...... Su Wuming said this, and suddenly patted his head, he felt that he was really stupid, then Cao Yin couldn't leave, so no matter who the murderer was, after he killed Cao Yunxing, he couldn't leave Cao Mansion.

Thinking of this, Su Wuming didn't say anything else to Wei Ying, but hurriedly asked, "Where is Ah Bing, the doorman in your house?" ”

Wei Ying didn't know what was going on, just as she was about to speak, she suddenly retched a few times, but Su Wuming didn't care at this time, he saw that Wei Ying couldn't answer, so he couldn't wait any longer, rolled up his sleeves and ran out, after he met Nangong Yan and them, he hurriedly said: "Go find Ah Bing!" ”

Nangong Yan didn't know what was going on, and when they saw Su Wuming running in front, they all hurriedly followed.

Several people came to the place where Ah Bing lived, but there was no one inside, Su Wuming looked at the empty house, and suddenly instructed Tang Xiong: "Inform the people of Cao Mansion, from now on, look for Ah Bing!" ”

Tang Xiong still didn't understand what was going on at this time, but his eldest brother Su's order, he would still carry it out if he didn't understand it.

For a while, the entire Cao Mansion was looking for Ah Bing, Cao Geng hurriedly ran over and asked what was going on, Su Wuming frowned, and said, "The murderer is either Ah Bing, or he bought Ah Bing." ”

"Ah Bing?" Cao Geng was a little surprised.

"That's right, according to what a few of you said, at that late in the case, the one who could come in from the main gate and kill Cao Yunxing and then leave from the main gate with his head is either Ah Bing or the murderer who bought Ah Bing, otherwise the murderer would not have come and gone freely that night."

Su Wuming's words couldn't be clearer, everyone already understood after listening to it once, and after understanding, they also had a feeling of agreement with Su Wuming, and it was too late for them to figure it out.
