August 16.

Su Wuming and the others discussed many possibilities last night, but there was no basis for these many possibilities.

There is no news from the official who was sent to search for the official who pretended to be a boy in the dance workshop, and Qian Sheng reported that he was going to investigate Yingying.

After noon, Qian Sheng hurriedly ran to see Su Wuming, saying that he had heard the news, but it was not Yingying's, but Gu Chen's other concubine Fangfang.

The news seems to be a bit commonplace, as if this kind of thing often happens in the courtyard of the deep house.

Fang Fang fornicated with a man.

Fangfang's so-called discomfort last night was just an excuse, and its purpose was to go on a date with her friend. Qian Sheng was very concerned about this news, because he felt that Fang Fang was dating other men, so they had to have the idea of killing Gu Chen, and now that Gu Chen was killed, Fang Fang and his good friends and possibly the murderer.

After Qian Sheng finished saying his thoughts, he asked Su Wuming's opinion, Su Wuming thought about it and asked, "What questions did Lord Qian ask them?" ”

"It's a lot of questions, because the two of them were caught red-handed by our people about fornication, so they didn't quibble."

"Then Lord Qian can ask them if they admit to murder?"

"They will admit to killing people, but they just won't admit it, and their suspicion is very great."

Su Wuming shook his head: "Lord Qian, if they don't admit to killing, then this Gu Chen can't be killed by them, Lord Qian, just think, the two of them were dating last night, how to go to the dance workshop to kill people, besides, the crime of fornication is not small, soaking in the pig cage is death, murder is also death, is it necessary for them to lie for this?" ”

In the face of Su Wuming's words, Qian Sheng didn't care, and said: "Master Su, the fornication between the two is a crime of weathering, this crime can be big or small, if it is big, it is to dip the pig cage and parade the street to show the public, but if it is small, just say a few words and let it out, now the two of them naturally want to gamble, see how we break the two of them, this admission of fornication, but there is a better chance of living than admitting murder." ”

Qian Sheng, as the county magistrate of Qiantang County, understands more about the various systems of the Tang Dynasty and the customs here than Su Wuming, after Su Wuming listened to Qian Sheng's words, he didn't know what to say for a while, and after a long time, he said: "Then what is Lord Qian going to do?" ”

"The lower officials are going to interrogate Na Fangfang and her good friends, maybe the murderers are them!"

Su Wuming thought about it carefully and said, "What about that Yingying?" ”

"She's pretty peaceful, she doesn't notice anything out of the ordinary."

Su Wuming nodded: "Lord Qian can continue to interrogate Na Fangfang, Lord Ben is going to go to the ancient mansion and ask Yingying a few questions." ”

Qian Sheng heard Su Wuming say this, and responded again and again: "Okay, Master Su will wait for the news of the lower official." ”

After Qian Sheng left, Su Wuming took Tang Xiong and went directly to the ancient mansion, the ancient mansion is very large, it can be seen from this that this Gu Chen is very rich, but when they learned that Gu Chen is so rich, they have a doubt in their hearts, Gu Chen doesn't do business, where does he have so much money?

If it is said that it was left by his ancestors, it is unlikely, because he migrated here from other places, if his ancestors are so rich, what did he do when he migrated to Qiantang County, and what did his ancestors do?

Su Wuming had many questions in his mind, and these questions could only be known after seeing Yingying.

Ying Ying seemed to have not slept all night, at this time she looked very tired, and her eyes were red, after she saluted Su Wuming, she stood aside and was silent, Su Wuming comforted a few words, and then began to ask.

"Miss Yingying, Gu Chen has a big scar on his back, do you know?"

Ying Ying nodded: "I know!" ”

"Then do you know why Gu Chen's back has such a big scar?"

"I asked my lord before, and he said that there was a fire one year, and his back was burned by the fire when he escaped, so he stayed."

"Does Miss Ying believe that?"

Ying Ying raised her head slightly and glanced at Su Wuming, she seemed to be a little confused about what Su Wuming's question meant: "Why don't you believe it?" ”

"The scar on Gu Chen's back is not small, it is indeed reasonable to burn in the fire, but the other skin on Gu Chen's body is intact, this seems to be a little unreasonable with his statement, right?"

After listening to Su Wuming's words, Ying Ying lowered her head and said, "This ...... I don't know. ”

Seeing this, Su Wuming asked again, "What did Gu Chen say about the scar on his back?" ”

"No, he rarely mentions the scars on his body, after all, they ...... That's the pain in the old man's heart! ”

Su Wuming naturally understands this, a person with a disability doesn't want to talk about his own disability.

"Where is Gu Chen's ancestor?"

"I don't know, the master never said it, and I asked it, but he didn't answer."

"He never said where his ancestors were?"

"Never said it!"

"Where did Gu Chen's property come from, looking at this mansion, it should be worth a lot of money!"

"This ...... The little woman didn't know that the lord never let us touch the matter of money, so we didn't know the source of income in the house. ”

"You didn't doubt it?"

"I doubted, but I didn't dare to ask."

Su Wuming sighed, from Yingying, it seemed that he couldn't ask a particularly useful clue.

"Last question, has your master ever said something strange?"

"Strange words?" Ying Ying thought for a while and said: "Does the dream talk count, once the old man fell asleep and said in his dreams, kept saying spare his life, don't kill me, I was frightened at that time, and quickly woke up the old man, after he woke up, I asked him what was going on, he said he had a nightmare, and since then, he has rarely slept with me." ”

When Ying Ying said this, her face suddenly changed in shock, and she said, "Master, did he already know that someone was going to kill him?" ”

Su Wuming didn't answer Ying Ying's question, because he found that Ying Ying's words just now seemed to be a very important clue, Gu Chen was afraid that others would kill him in his dreams, so he knew that someone was going to kill him? But who is the person who wants to kill him, and is the murderer who killed Gu Chen also the murderer who killed Ali?

Su Wuming thought about a lot of questions, and when he finished thinking about them, he asked Yingying, "We want to see what Gu Chen left behind, is it okay?" ”

Ying Ying stared at Su Wuming, she was still waiting for the answer to the question she had just asked, but now that she saw Su Wuming like this, she knew that she had no hope of getting an answer, so she had to nod: "Please!" ”

Most of Gu Chen's things were in the study, so Ying Ying led Su Wuming and the others to the study.

The study is very large, there are a lot of things in it, and it is also very messy, Su Wuming and Tang Xiong searched around in the study, hoping to find some useful clues to solve the case, but they searched the entire study, and only found a few antiques from Gu Chen's private collection, and other than that, the rest were all books.

There are a lot of books, and they are also very messy, if they want to find them one by one, I am afraid it will take a day, Su Wuming didn't want to spend a day in the study, so he asked Ying Ying to lock up the study, and said to her: "When the official goes back, he will send someone here to search all the books in the study, and no one is allowed to enter the study until they come." ”

Ying Ying nodded again and again: "Got it, my lord!" ”

"Let's go to Gu Chen's bedroom and have a look!"

Gu Chen's bedroom is very comfortable, but it can be seen from the furnishings inside that there are no women left here at night, thinking about it as Ying Ying just said, Ying Ying heard Gu Chen's dream words that night, Gu Chen felt that it was too dangerous to sleep with women, there were a lot of valuable things in the bedroom, but there were no useful clues, so after checking it, Su Wuming and Tang Xiong said goodbye and left.

After leaving the ancient mansion, Tang Xiong looked at Su Wuming and asked, "Brother Su, who is this person who wants to kill Gu Chen?" ”

Su Wuming didn't answer Tang Xiong's words immediately, he thought about it for a while, and said: "If Gu Chen's killing and the theft of Ali's body are related, then through the clues we have now, we can speculate that the person who killed Gu Chen is not a person, but an organization, and we don't know what this organization is engaged in, but Gu Chen's killing and the theft of Ali's body must be because their existence threatens their organization." ”

Su Wuming's words sounded very abrupt, why did an organization suddenly appear? However, Tang Xiong didn't speak casually, he thought about it carefully, and finally figured it out, if it wasn't for an organization, how could Gu Chen be killed, and how could Ali's body be stolen? And then there is the fact that both of their backs have been destroyed, and it can be seen from these that the two of them have mastered a lot of things, so they have encountered these things.

After the two left the ancient mansion, they did not go home, but went directly to the county office, and after coming to the county office, Su Wuming asked Qian Sheng to send a few officials to guard Gu Chen's study, and if time permitted, he would look through all the books inside to see if there were other useful clues hidden in those books.

Qian Sheng didn't ask much about the reason, and directly sent a few officials, and after this distribution, Qian Sheng said with some disappointment: "Master Su, that Fangfang and his good friend would rather die than admit to killing, this ......"

"They would rather die than obey, which means that they may not really kill anyone, Lord Qian, the official already has some eyebrows in this matter, you don't have to interrogate Fangfang anymore, send someone to find the person who pretended to be a little girl in the dance workshop, and of course, the woman who gave Ali a handful of copper coins."

"Master Su can rest assured that looking for them, Xia Guan will not dare to relax at all."

Su Wuming nodded, and after returning to the house with Tang Xiong, he found Jiang Ying Linyun and said to the two of them: "You are lurking near the Dance Workshop, always pay attention to the movements inside, of course, that Rongrong girl should pay more attention, find out what is going on, and come back immediately to report." ”
