Chapter 127: The Secret in the Painting
Zhang Meixian said with a smile: "Master Liu has arranged for Qin Xiaoyun and Qin Zhenhai to go to Qin Xiaoyun's husband's house to live, Qin Xiaoyun wrote a note, saying that her mother's death was too unjust, and I hope that the adults can solve the case as soon as possible." And Qin Xiaoyun finally said that the person who killed her mother was probably his uncle Qin Zhentian, and asked the adults to arrest Qin Zhentian as soon as possible. ”
After listening to Zhang Meixian's words, Song Ruilong said, "Is there any basis for Qin Xiaoyun to say this?" ”
Zhang Meixian said: "She had to have a basis to say it a long time ago, she was just guessing, because that night, the murderer didn't say a word." When I asked again, she stopped writing. It seems to be very difficult. ”
Song Ruilong pondered: "This Qin Xiaoyun is a living mouth, and he is also a witness to the crime, I think it is necessary to send two officials to protect him day and night." ”
Zhang Meixian said: "Master Liu has already sent someone, you can rest assured." ”
As soon as Song Ruilong turned around, he saw Wei Bixiao and Tie Chong walking in from outside the gate.
Wei Bixiao was sweating profusely, and before he could rest, he said to Song Ruilong: "Brother Song, the person who painted the painting that you asked Tie Chong and Tie Chong to check has been confirmed, and it was painted by Guo Fei." Guo Fei said that the painting was painted by Zhao Yanping on the street two years ago, and Guo Fei also said that if adults need his help, just ask him for it, and there is no need to be polite. ”
Song Ruilong took the painting from Wei Bixi's hand, opened it and looked at it, and said: "You see, this Zhao Yanping's skin is very delicate, and she doesn't look like a forty-five or sixteen-year-old person. But I didn't find out what kind of business this Zhao Yanping did, and this Qin Zhenhai didn't seem to have any legitimate occupation, I want to ask where the money of this Zhao Yanping's family came from? Twenty years ago, Zhao Yanping took out a very large sum of money, one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and she used this one hundred and fifty taels of silver to buy back her house. For twenty years, according to the cost of thirty taels of silver a month, it is three hundred and sixty taels a year, three thousand six hundred taels for ten years, and at least seven thousand two hundred taels for twenty years. Excuse me, where did a person who doesn't do anything all day get so much money? ”
Zhang Meixian pondered: "Long'er, your analysis is very correct. I said hello to you, according to those neighbors, this Zhao Yanping usually has nothing unserious in life, she is kind and generous, if anyone is in trouble, she is willing to lend them money, and she didn't ask for one or two taels of silver, everyone is very strange, I don't know where the money of Zhao Yanping's family comes from. ”
Song Ruilong pondered and said, "Mother, have you asked if their family was very rich when they first moved here." ”
Zhang Meixian shook her head and said, "This is strange, I asked Lao Wang and his daughter-in-law next door, according to Lao Wang's daughter-in-law, when Zhao Yanping and that dumb Qin Zhenhai just came back, they didn't even have a decent dress on their bodies, they knelt in front of Qin Zhentian, hoping that Qin Zhentian could let them live at home." Qin Zhentian took pity on them, so he let them live in that house, which was the house that Qin Zhenhai had lost before, and when they found the house, they had to move out immediately. Qin Zhenhai and his wife are grateful to Dade, Qin Zhenhai weaves bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets at home every day, sells them at the market for money, and never defaults on the rent every month. But two years later, Qin Zhenhai no longer weaves bamboo baskets and baskets, and he still has the money to buy the house from Qin Zhentian, and he also has the money to gamble. After the house was bought, it was overhauled, and since then it has been more than ten times more beautiful than Qin Zhentian's. ”
Su Xianrong looked at Song Ruilong and said, "Brother Song, do you think there is a problem with the Qin Zhenhai family's money?" ”
Wei Bixiao said impatiently: "Hey, it doesn't matter where his family's money comes from, as long as they don't break the law, we don't need to care?" Also, I think this Zhao Yanping is a victim, and we should focus on the murderer. ”
Song Ruilong still held the painting in his hand, looked at Wei Bixiao and said, "Sister Bixiao, it's not right for you to say that." There are many cases related to money, and if the source of the money of this Zhao Yanping family is unknown, there may be a big problem in it. Therefore, Bi Xiao, you and Tie Chong should not rest. Let's find out where Zhao Yanping's family's money came from. ”
Wei Bixiao looked at Song Ruilong and said, "Yes." But first, you have to tell me, what is the secret of your painting? ”
Song Ruilong opened the painting, let everyone present look at it, and said, "Can any of you tell me what the secret of this painting is?" ”
Tie Chong also leaned his head over and said, "My lord, the woman in this painting is like a fairy, and she looks so beautiful." I wonder if it's a secret? ”
Song Ruilong said: "Of course this is a secret. This is a portrait of a woman in her forties. If you think about it, a woman in her forties is so beautiful, so was she even more beautiful twenty years ago than she is now? ”
Tie Chong shook his head and said, "No matter how beautiful she is, does it have anything to do with the murderer?" Tie Chong said excitedly: "Oh, I see, my lord means that this woman is too beautiful, so she has attracted the disaster of killing." ”
Song Ruilong shook his head and looked at Tie Chong and said, "You only guessed half right." If it was twenty years ago, the murderer might have played Zhao Yanping first and then killed her because she was beautiful. But twenty years later, she is old after all, and there are indeed not many men who can take a fancy to her. ”
Tie Chong shook his head into a rattle and said, "What the adults mean, my subordinates don't understand." ”
Wei Bixiao said anxiously: "Brother Song, don't go around the bend, tell us what the secret is?" ”
Song Ruilong smiled and said, "Actually, you should all discover this secret." You see, Zhao Yanping was so beautiful in her forties, so she must have been even more beautiful twenty years ago than she is now, right? ”
Wei Bixiao joked: "Maybe Zhao Yanping was more beautiful than Sister Rong Rong twenty years ago." ”
Su Xianrong was a little embarrassed and said, "Sister Bixiao, focus on the case, don't make fun of me." ”
Song Ruilong said: "Just now I just told you that Zhao Yanping was very beautiful twenty years ago, let's get down to business now." Have you ever thought about it, how could a woman like this marry a bearded, unkempt, mute, and illiterate Qin Zhenhai? Do you think it's possible? ”
Wei Bixiao guessed: "It may be a hero to save the beauty, maybe the reason why this Qin Zhenhai became a mute is to save Zhao Yanping." Zhao Yanping thanked Dade and promised to be personal, which is also possible. ”
Song Ruilong said: "I am afraid that this situation you mentioned is very rare. Don't you see that the relationship between Zhao Yanping and Qin Zhenhai is not good? ”
