The bright moon shines on the river, and the spring breeze blows on the face, like a lover's whisper.

Looking around, the banks of the river are very long, and everything under the moonlight is full of poetry.

It's just that Su Wuming knows very well that they can't live in poetry all the time, if it's late today, they have to find a place to spend the night.

Hesitating, a group of helpers rushed up and asked if they needed to carry their luggage, Su Wuming saw that these people were all wearing single clothes, revealing two strong arms, and their skin was tanned, but their faces were simple, and their hearts were suddenly a little unbearable, although they knew that they didn't need many people to move their luggage, but they still nodded and recruited all those movers.

After being recruited, Su Wuming asked, "Is there a place to spend the night here?" ”

A helper nodded: "This place is not far from the Qinhuai River, all the way to the south, there will be a place to stay!" ”

Su Wuming bowed slightly, and then asked those people to help carry the luggage, and when those people saw that they had something to do, they carried the salute on their shoulders again and again, and led Su Wuming and them to the Qinhuai River.

About a stick of incense walked a time, not far from the river came to the sound of silk and bamboo, a helper said with a smile while walking: "The front is the Qinhuai River, because there are a lot of flower boats here to stay here, a night to come and go guests do not know, some business-minded people see that the flow of people here is an opportunity to make money, so they build a street not far from the bank of the Qinhuai River, called Qinhuai Street, there are all kinds of things that guests need on Qinhuai Street, of course, the inn also has, after all, although the flower boat is big, Sometimes it may not be able to accommodate the influx of guests, in addition to this reason, this place is not far from Jinling City, some people who have not had time to enter the city have nowhere to stay, so they rest in this inn on Jinling Street for a night. ”

After the helper finished speaking, everyone had already arrived at the streets of Qinhuai, and when they looked around, they saw that the lamp walls of the entire Qinhuai Street were brilliant, as bright as day, and the pedestrians on the street were endless, so it was not lively.

After Su Wuming ordered Tang Xiong to divide the money among the helpers, he found an inn on Qinhuai Street, and after settling down, he ordered the innkeeper to make them some supper.

After everyone finished eating, Su Wuming asked Tang Xiong to take care of the thieves, and then ordered Jiang Ying to prepare a name post, so that after entering Jinling City tomorrow, he would go to visit Jinling Assassin Shi Luo Rui.

So it was properly distributed, and everyone went to rest in peace, and said nothing all night.

The next day, the sky was fine, and the Qinhuai River and Qinhuai Street, which were very lively at night, were quiet, and occasionally a few pedestrians walked towards Jinling City with a sleepy face.

Su Wuming and the others slept sweetly last night, and they woke up in the morning and were very refreshed, so after breakfast, they prepared to go directly into the city and hand over those thieves to Luo Rui to deal with.

But just as everyone was escorting the thieves and preparing to leave the inn, an exclamation suddenly came from not far away: "Dead man, dead man......"

Hearing this exclamation, Su Wuming and the others hurriedly ran to the street, only to see a person's feet exposed in the grass not far from the direction of Jinling City, and the person who was just about to enter the city ran back in a panic, that person must have been frightened, and then forgot that he should have run into Jinling City.

Su Wuming led people to the side of the road, brushed away the weeds, and saw that the man was really dead, and there was a lot of blood flowing from his head, of course, the blood was dry at this time, causing a lot of flying insects to fly on it.

Su Wuming glanced at the discoverer of the murder, at this time he was still panicked, completely unaware of why, Su Wuming asked, "How did you find out that there is a corpse here?" ”

The man was in a trance, sweating on his forehead, Su Wuming asked him a question, and he didn't doubt Su Wuming's identity, so he replied directly: "I was going to leave here early this morning and go home, and when I walked here, I suddenly felt anxious, so I wanted to find a place to make it convenient, but as soon as I opened the grass and was about to take off my pants, I saw this corpse, which frightened me." ”

After this person's words, his spirit calmed down a lot, and after calming down, he suddenly realized the problem, and he suddenly looked at Su Wuming with wide eyes: "Who are you, why are you asking me questions?" ”

Su Wuming smiled lightly and said: "Dali Temple Si Zhi Su Wuming, I was ordered to come to the Jianghuai area to solve the doubtful case, you quickly go to Jinling City to tell the assassin Lord Luo Rui, and let him bring someone here." ”

When the man heard that the young man in front of him was the Si Zhi of Dali Temple, and he was still here on the orders of the emperor, he was immediately frightened and took a few steps back, and when his mind stabilized a little, he hurried towards Jinling City.

After the man left, Su Wuming ordered the deceased to be carried to a clean place, and then began the autopsy.

The deceased was about 30 years old, with a slightly fat body, a slightly round face, a white beard, and no external injuries on his whole body except for a scar on the back of his head.

The deceased's eyes were wide, his eyes were almost bulging, his mouth was slightly open, and he could still smell a smell of wine at this time, after Su Wuming checked these, he searched the deceased's clothes again, and found that the deceased's body was empty, only one of the embroidered silk scarves was hidden in his arms, and the silk scarf was embroidered with a dancing butterfly, faintly fragrant.

Looking at the palm of the deceased's hand, it is slightly thick, white and abnormal, and above the index finger, there is a red mark, thinking that before the deceased died, there should be a ring on the index finger.

After this examination, Su Wuming went to the grass where the deceased was before, and found that there were traces of being dragged in the grass, and after searching in the grass for a long time, he did not find anything.

Su Wuming stood in the grass and touched his chin slightly, just as he was about to say something, a team of people suddenly came not far away, and the first person was thin, white-faced, with a goat's beard, according to Su Wuming's knowledge, this person was Jinling Thorn Shi Luo Rui.

It is said that this Luo Rui is in his forties, he is still an honest official, and he has sought a lot of benefits for the people in Jinling, which is why Jinling can be so prosperous.

Among the pair of people behind Luo Rui, two of them are particularly conspicuous, one is an old man, about fifty years old, with a mustache, is Luo Rui's chief staff, called Zhuge Jia, and usually some Jinling affairs, most of which he helps to handle.

The other person is a young man, about twenty years old, heroic, handsome and extraordinary, with a red tassel spear in his hand, this person is Luo Rui's son, named Luo Fei, who has practiced martial arts since childhood, and heard that no one in the entire Jinling City is his opponent.

After this team of people arrived, Su Wuming hurriedly stepped forward to salute Luo Rui, although he had the right to send a mission, but he had just arrived in a place, and his heels had not yet stood firm, so it was not appropriate for the chief here to feel that there was no one in his eyes.

The history of the assassin is the official rank of the sixth grade, only a little bigger than the Dali Temple Sizhi, Luo Rui saw Su Wuming saluting to himself, and he was quite proud in his heart, so he also returned the salute, after the two sides met like this, Luo Rui immediately asked: "Lord Su has long heard of the prestige of the old man in the capital, but he didn't expect that Lord Su just arrived at my Jinling realm, and found the murder." ”

Su Wuming smiled lightly: "No one expected this, since it happened, naturally it can't be ignored, Lord Luo, isn't it?" ”

Luo Rui nodded again and again: "This is natural, now that Master Su is here to investigate the case, this case will be solved as soon as possible." ”

After the two of them competed openly or secretly, Luo Rui smiled: "Since Master Su has carried the body out, I think it has been inspected, I don't know what the result is?" ”

Su Wuming glanced at the corpse and said, "The deceased only has a scar on the back of his head all over his body, I think he was attacked by someone, and all the valuable things on the deceased are gone, so they should have been taken by the murderer." ”

After Su Wuming finished speaking, Zhuge Jia behind Luo Rui immediately asked, "So, Lord Su thinks that the murderer killed him for money?" ”

Su Wuming glanced at Zhuge Jia, and smiled lightly: "This case has not yet been investigated, how can it be so easy to make a conclusion, the most important thing now is to find out the identity of the deceased, Mr. Zhuge , what do you think?" ”

Zhuge Jia was originally dissatisfied with the rumors in the capital, so he wanted to test Su Wuming, so he asked a question to mislead Su Wuming, if Su Wuming said that this was murder for money, he immediately refuted it, but Su Wuming did not admit that it was murder for money, which made Zhuge Jia shocked.

In this question and answer, he had already found that Su Wuming was by no means an ordinary person, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "What Lord Su said is extremely true, this matter is handled by our officials in Jinling, which is very appropriate." ”

"The officials of Jinling are willing to do this, which is naturally the best!" Su Wuming finished speaking to Zhuge Jia, and then said to Luo Rui: "Lord Luo, I waited for a group of people to come by water, and met a group of robbers on the way, and now they have all been detained here, if it weren't for the sudden death case, we were about to enter the city to explain the matter, and now Lord Luo is here with people, then this group of robbers will be handed over to you to deal with!" ”

After speaking, Tang Xiong, Jiang Ying, and Lin Yun had already escorted the group of thieves, Luo Rui saw the group of thieves, his eyes suddenly flashed, but he didn't have a seizure, and said with a smile: "Let Lord Su be frightened all the way, this group of thieves will be handed over to Lord Ben, and Lord Ben will let them know that it is powerful." ”

After the handover of the thieves, Luo Fei, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "Listen to Lord Su, are you going to follow us into the city?" ”

Su Wuming smiled lightly: "You must enter the city, but I can't now, because I found a silk scarf on the deceased's body, thinking that it should be sent by a woman on a flower boat, maybe if I find that woman, I will be able to understand a lot of clues." ”

Luo Fei bowed his head slightly, and said: "I see, since Su Gongzi wants to find the owner of the silk scarf here, it is better to follow below, there is still some face in this place, and it may not be possible to help." ”

Su Wuming glanced at Luo Fei, knowing that he was afraid that he would find out some clues and not tell them, so that he would lose the opportunity, so he thought about following him to investigate the case.

And the reason why Luo Fei has this idea is, of course, because Su Wuming is from the capital, and they are the natives here, if Su Wuming is the first to solve this case, their faces will be somewhat gloomy.

After understanding what Luo Fei thought, Su Wuming smiled: "Okay, Luo Gongzi, please!" ”
