"Lord Hai, Mr. never talks to us about who he interacts with on weekdays, so Sicun really doesn't know." Xie Sicun replied.

Hai Rui asked Xie Sicun about Du Chongde's words and deeds on weekdays, and Xie Sicun answered them one by one, and there was nothing abnormal.

Cheng Zhong began to wonder again, could it be that his suspicions were wrong? There is no such relationship between Miss Xie and Du Chongde? If this is the case, then Xie Mengting's motive for killing will naturally be gone. The clues of the case were also broken, and they entered a state of cluelessness again.

Cheng Zhong walked to Du Chongde's desk and flipped through a few books on the table, but was surprised to find that these books were not sage doctrines, or even books related to the imperial examination, but mostly poems about love! He is a Mr. Xixi, and he is over half a hundred years old, and he can't help but make Cheng Zhong suspicious when he sees such content.

"Teacher, come and see." Cheng Zhong handed the book in his hand to Hai Rui.

Hai Rui glanced at it twice, snorted and threw it back on the desk, and said, "It's insulting, and I don't want to make progress!" "

"Miss Xie, these books are all read by Mr. Du on weekdays?" Cheng Zhong asked.

Xie Sicun originally wanted to ignore him, but when he heard him ask a question about Du Chongde, although he was reluctant, he still replied: "Yes." This room is rarely visited except by the gentleman himself. He also doesn't like people coming into his room, and he doesn't like people touching his things casually. "

Cheng Zhong touched his nose, this Miss Xie is sharp-toothed, this is taking the opportunity to blame herself for turning over Du Chongde's things.

Well, since I've already moved, let's move to the end!

Cheng Zhong began to rummage through the room, looking around.

"Stop!" Xie Sicun shouted loudly: "Cheng Gongzi, this is Mr. Du's bedroom, please respect yourself!" Without the permission of others, and without other people's permission, Cheng Gongzi, where did you read all your sage books?! "

Xie Sicun's tone was impassioned, glaring at Cheng Zhong.

Cheng Zhong's heart was on fire, and he said, Where did I provoke you? Didn't I just listen to you sing a song by the river? And I still applaud you, as for the nose is not the nose and the eyes are not the eyes as they are now? I don't owe you anything?

"Miss Xie, I want you to figure out one thing before the fire, I am here today to accompany Lord Hai to investigate the case, so I have the right to turn over everything here. I also want to tell you that I can't get Du Chongde's consent either, because he's dead. Cheng Zhong said as he stared at Xie Sicun's face.

Until just now, there was not the slightest loophole in Xie Sicun's answer, and the expression was very natural.

Cheng Zhong's words just now seemed to be a return after being provoked, but in fact, he figured out that Guò's sudden way made Xie Siyu's heart agitated, thus revealing the flaw.

"What?! Mr. is dead?! How is this possible? You lied to me! Sure enough, as Cheng Zhong expected, Xie Sicun's mind was affected, and his face was full of consternation. If this Miss Xie is not really innocent, she is an extremely clever actor, at least Cheng Zhong has not shown any flaws so far.

"It seems that Miss Xie doesn't know the news yet." Hai Rui sighed and said, "Mr. Du's body is now in the county office. Moreover, the county wants to explain to Miss Xie that Mr. Du was buried in the fat powder river, but he was murdered by someone else, and it is still unclear who the real culprit is. "

"I beg my lord to arrest the real culprit and avenge Mr." Although Xie Sicun's expression was sad, he had recovered from the shock just now, his eyes were clear and his thoughts were clear. This made Cheng Zhong secretly admire, many men can't be as self-controlled as Xie Sicun.

Cheng Zhong wanted to know again, if it was finally found out that the murderer was her son, would she still be clamoring to arrest the real murderer like now?

"The county will naturally do its best to do its best, but it also needs Miss Xie's cooperation." Hai Rui said.

"Hmm. Sicun will fully cooperate with Haida. Xie Sicun nodded.

"Miss Xie, can you recall that Mr. Du did talk about whether he had other relatives or friends in Huating County, or other people who were close to Mr. Du in the past?" Hai Rui asked. If you can find someone who Du Chongde is communicating with abroad and follow the vine, it will be much easier to solve the case.

Xie Sicun paced a few steps in the room, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and the appearance of supporting her chin with her hands added a bit of charm to her.

No, Cheng Zhong hates self-righteousness, and the woman who is Ji Sichen is even more lazy to look at her at this time.

After a while, Xie Sicuncai said with a depressed face: "Lord Hai, every time Mr. Du goes out and comes back, he travels on foot, and he doesn't even make a sedan chair or ride a horse, so his whereabouts are very hidden, and there is no way to know at all.

"That's right." Hai Jui was a little disappointed. The Xie family has a sedan chair driver, and also has a few horses, if Du Chongde needs it, Xie Mengting will definitely not be stingy, in that case, Du Chongde's whereabouts can be obtained from the sedan chair man or horseman. But I didn't expect Du Chongde, a lame man, to travel on foot, and he didn't get much useful information from this visit.

"Miss Xie, I wonder if you can tell me what Mr. Du's salary is?" Cheng Zhong suddenly asked again.

Hai Rui was a little strange, why did Cheng Zhong suddenly ask this question, which didn't seem to have anything to do with solving the case? Could it be that he has shown something?

"Does this have anything to do with solving the case?" Xie Sicun asked rhetorically in an unkind tone.

"Of course!" Cheng Zhong was too lazy to talk nonsense with her.

"Five taels of silver a month." Xie Sicun was blocked by Cheng Zhong, and was silent for a while, and finally gave an answer.

Good boy! Cheng Zhong secretly thought, five taels of silver a month, this Xie family is really working hard in order to make Xie Jiangbo famous.

"Does Mr. Du have any hobbies on weekdays? For example, a hobby of fine wine, or other hobbies that cost a lot of money? Cheng Zhong continued to ask.

Xie Sicun shook his head and said, "Mr. Du is very simple, and he rarely buys new clothes. "

"Thank you, Miss Xie, I'm done with my question." Cheng Zhong said. Unlike just now, he already had a general idea in his head.

"Cheng Zhong, how is it? Got any ideas? Let's hear it. Hai Rui refused Xie Mengting's invitation to lunch, and walked to the county school with Cheng Zhong, after all, Cheng Zhong was reporting to the county school today.

"What do students think? It's just a little weird. Cheng Zhong sorted out his thoughts and said: "The Xie family's remuneration for Du Chongde is very high, five taels of silver per month, and sixty taels a year. According to Miss Xie, Du Chongde has no family in Huating, and he doesn't even have a few friends, his life is very simple, he is reluctant to buy more clothes, he is reluctant to buy a pot of orchids, and he has no bad habits, and he eats and lives in Xie's house, so he doesn't have to spend silver taels at all, so the question is, where does his money go? ”

As soon as Cheng Zhong said this, Hai Rui suddenly realized that this kid was looking for silver in Du Chongde's bedroom.

"Du Chongde's whereabouts are secretive, and if the whereabouts of his silver can be found, it will be very helpful to find out his whereabouts and even find out the cause of his death." Cheng Zhong analyzed again.

Hai Rui nodded, and suddenly said, "Cheng Zhong, why don't you think about my canonical history again?" ”

Hai Rui was only a teacher before, and he had no experience in asking cases at all. The Du Chongde case was Hai Rui's first murder case. The county clerk and the chief bookkeeper were driven away by him again, and Hai Rui's character was unwilling to trust and rely on the officials of the county government, so he very much needed an experienced staff member to help him.

Cheng Zhong waved his hand and said, "Teacher, the student now wants to read the sage book first, and then consider this matter when his knowledge has grown in the future." ”

Cheng Zhong's refusal was not that he hated doing this job very much, but he knew Hai Rui's incorruptibility very well. This guy not only clears his own hardships, but also wants the people around him to follow him to clear his hardships, even if he worships a teacher, if he gets involved with him for a long time, what can he do if he becomes a big official? He still remembers that when Hai Rui himself died, even the coffin was bought by his colleagues with fundraising. This is not something Cheng Zhong can bear, let alone his pursuit, it is better to think of another way to get some money, at least to improve the life of Liu and Cheng Lianyi now.

It's just that Cheng Zhong hasn't been in this world for a long time, and he spent the first two months on studying, so he can't think of any good ways at all, so he didn't say anything to death, just said that he didn't think about it for the time being.

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly a person's voice came from behind him, and when he heard this voice, Cheng Zhong smiled.
