Songhe Tower.

"Why did you come so late, what time is it?" Wen Xiaoyu stretched out his hand to take Meng Yan's big coat, stretched out his hand to dust off the falling snow on it, and said with some disgust.

"There are some things that have to be taken care of, so it's late to come back!" Meng Yan explained apologetically, "What about your father? ”

"Wait for us in the living room."

"The old man is not upset, is he?" Meng Yan asked carefully, although he is a strong son-in-law, no matter how strong he is, respect for the old man is also the traditional virtue of our Chinese, isn't it?

"No, it's a person who amuses himself!"

"What's entertaining yourself?" Meng Yan was a little puzzled?

"He loves to play chess when he's fine, and he plays against himself!" Wen Xiaoyu explained.

Playing chess, Meng Yan smiled, this is an activity that cultural people love to play, especially Go, it is too brain-burning, and he can't play it.

"Chess or Go?"

"Black and white!"

That's Go, Meng Yan smiled self-deprecatingly, if he was going to play chess, he could still play two games with him, even if it wasn't for the task, he didn't think about learning this Go at all, of course, he also learned a little bit of skin.

And with such a long time span, the rules of the game he learned must be different from those of this era, so he can only hide it.

"This is a game that literati and artists like to play, and the old man also likes to play this?" Meng Yan said with a smile.

"He, in addition to wine, is usually a chess game." Wen Xiaoyu said with a smile.

Walking into the living room, I saw Wen Dudrunk under the lamp facing a chessboard. Thinking about it for a long time, Meng Yan and Wen Xiaoyu didn't look up when they came in.

"Mr. Wen, we're here, it's time to eat!"

"Go, wait until I'm done with this game."

"Dad, this game of chess can't be finished for a while and a half, so let's eat first and play after eating." Wen Xiaoyu persuaded him.

"Okay, let's eat first!" Wen Dudrunk nodded and put down the chess pieces in his hand.

"Red lamb stew. Stir-fried beef ...... with sauce" Meng Yan uncovered the plates on the table one by one. The delicacies inside were exposed, full of color, flavor, and flavor, which made Meng Yan salivate.

"It is said that girls are extroverted, but an old man has seen it today. It's only been two days since I became someone's daughter-in-law. It's changed! ”

"Daddy. What do you say? Wen Xiaoyu said angrily.

"Did the old man say something wrong? These dishes are all what this kid loves to eat, isn't this a girl extrovert? Wen Dudrunk came over and said.

"Dad, how could my daughter forget you. You see, that's only half open, and there's still half of it here. Wen Xiaoyu walked over and uncovered the plate on the other half of the dishes.

"That's pretty much it, I thought you girl had forgotten about me, an old man!" Wen Dudrunk showed a smile.

"Mr. Wen, please take a seat!"

"Sit down."

Meng Yan and Wen Xiaoyu both sat down.

"Just the three of us, isn't this a little lonely?" Wen Dudrunk glanced at the two of them and said.

"Yes, why don't you call Tianxing, Mr. Cai and Lin Yi over, let's eat together?" Meng Yan said in his face.

"Well, more people are lively, today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, every year it is our father and daughter, this year there is one more person, and it doesn't hurt to have three more people." Wen Dudrunk said.

"Okay, I'll call them." Wen Xiaoyu got up and said.

"Master Meng, you did a good job today, you arrested Bai Jiao's family, and you also confused the people in Dongchang, making them think that you arrested Bai Jiao's family to find Jiao Hong." Wen Du drunk.

"I hope, but the East Factory is not so easy to fool."

"You, you are too clever to imagine that group of people, they may not know that your target is actually Bai Jiao's clan!"

"If Jiao Hong is really the one who killed Li Chengyan and blamed Bai Suxin, then it is impossible for Bai Jiao, who is a sister, to be unaware of it." Meng Yan Road.

"You're right in this way, but Jiao Hong may not sue her sister, and Bai Jiao's may not necessarily speak!"

"Bai Jiao's and I both know that Jiao Hong's disappearance is not because he has to hide out of debt, so as long as Jiao Hong doesn't show up, Bai Jiao's will inevitably become more and more worried, she is a woman, and not being firm is a natural weakness!"

Wen Dudrunk was slightly startled, and glanced at Meng Yan with some surprise.

At such a young age, it is really terrible to have such a deep scheming, but fortunately this person is not his enemy, but his son-in-law.

It's just that Xiaoyu likes such a man, I really don't know what will happen in the future?

"Jiao Hong is in your hands, right?"

"Xiaoyu didn't tell you?"

"It's all said, the girl is outgoing, no matter how I ask, she doesn't show the slightest tone, so I can only ask you in person." Wen Dudrunk laughed self-deprecatingly.

"It's in my hands, it's in my house." Meng Yan nodded, "Dongchang has already sent someone to go once, but there is nothing to gain." ”

"On the night you married Xiaoyu?"

"Yes!"

"Daddy, they're coming!" Wen Xiaoyu led Cai Jin and the three of them in.

"Mr. Wen, Son-in-law!"

"There are no bosses and subordinates here today, only friends and family, come, sit down, and have a reunion dinner together." Meng Yan Road.

"Yes!"

Meng Yan stood up, picked up the wine jug, and filled everyone's wine glasses.

"Come, I'll mention yì, everyone raise a glass, toast first!" Meng Yan raised his wine glass and looked around.

"Cheers!"

"Why is everyone so detained, is it because I'm an old man, you young people can't let go?" Wen Dudrunk smiled, put down the wine glass and said.

"When Mr. Wen said this, didn't he classify me, an old man, into the ranks of young people?" Cai Jin smiled.

"Haha......"

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Six people are indeed much more lively than three, Cai Jin is a person who is very good at figuring out other people's psychology and is very good at talking, so the atmosphere quickly became harmonious, and Lin Tianxing's brothers and sisters were a little restrained. Basically don't talk, except for drinking!

Gradually, the topic shifted to Bai Suxin's case, because everyone didn't seem to be able to find a topic that six people could participate in.

"Son, according to the old man, Bai Suxin's case can be put aside first, and you can start with the case where Xi'er was killed."

"What Mr. Cai said coincides with me, the evidence in Bai Suxin's case is either gone, or it was ruined, but this Xi'er's death. We have a lot of clues to follow. Finding a breakthrough in her is the best direction for us at the moment. Meng Yan nodded.

"And how are you going to get started?"

"Determine Xi'er's identity first, and then check her social relationships, especially her relationship with He Wendong, a fellow merchant in Hejian, but this He Wendong runs back and forth between Hejian and the capital. It's not in the capital right now. It is estimated that he is back to his hometown in Hejian for the New Year. When I'll be back, that's anyone! Meng Yan said.

"That's waiting, the Holy One only gave you a month. When He Wendong will return to Beijing, it is uncertain. ”

"No, looking for He Wendong's matter, I have already asked Uncle Sai to help send someone to Hejian to please, I believe I will see this He Wendong soon."

"It turns out that the prince has already arranged it."

"The less people know about this, the better, I don't want the people over there to know about our actions." Meng Yan Road.

"The stone is right, Dongchang is widely spread in the capital, even if our people don't leak secrets, their people will know what we are going to do from our actions, and we have to guard against it." Wen Du drunk.

"Our opponent is not the Jiao sisters and brothers, but the East Factory, the East Factory is fighting with us for both practical interests and face, if this case is wrong, in the end someone will definitely have to play the board, not only Cao Qin, it may be Cao Jixiang, the factory of the East Factory!" Meng Yan said, "So, they will never let us turn the case over, now that the case has been re-investigated, they will inevitably continue to set up obstacles for us to prevent and interfere with our investigation, the snitch incident that happened in my house in the early hours of yesterday morning is proof of this!" ”

"This just shows that Bai Suxin's case Dongchang is not absolutely sure, there is something wrong with this case, otherwise there is no need for them to be in such a hurry!" Cai Jin analyzed.

"Mr. Cai is right, this just exposes their purpose of eagerly swaying and interfering with our investigation!"

"Then will Dongchang have already discovered that Jiao Hong is in the Meng Mansion?" Lin Tianxing asked.

"It's possible to suspect it, but it's not enough to say that it's not enough to be discovered, but we all went there that night, and the old bustard in Cuiyun Building may know us, and now the old bustard should be in the hands of Dongchang!" Meng Yan Road.

"This doesn't mean anything, Gongzi Weifu investigated Jiao Hong, at most, it means that you have been to Cuiyun Tower, and it can't prove that Jiao Hong is in our hands!"

"Yes, sooner or later, Dongchang will find this clue through Guò Lao Bustard."

"That night, me, Tianxing, Mr. Cai, Lao Fan and Xiaoyu were all in Cuiyun Building, and it was Lao Fan who had a dispute with Jiao Hong, and Lao Bustard saw Lao Fan with us."

"Do you want to send someone to warn this old bustard?"

"No, even if Dongchang finds out about us, it doesn't matter, if there is no evidence, they can't do anything?"

"But what if they ask?"

"The inspector made the yamen handle the case, and he didn't need to explain it to the East Factory, don't worry about him, wait for them to find out."

"In addition to the relationship between Xi'er and He Wendong, we also have to find out how Xi'er came to Baifu." Meng Yan Road.

"Didn't Bai Suxin say that it was Bai Xinyuan who brought Xi'er back to the house?"

"But Bai Suxin didn't tell him how his father brought Xi'er back to the house, and why did he arrange for Xi'er to be a personal ring?" Meng Yan said, "Also, if this Xi'er is related to the murder of Li Chengyan, then her murder must be related, did she know something, or is there another reason?" ”

"What does the stone mean to know a complete Xi'er and not a one-sided, face-painted person?" Wen Du drunk.

"Yes, I want to know all about Xi'er, her life experience, family, and the whole process of her coming to Baifu." Meng Yan nodded.

"Isn't that hard to look up?" Cai Jin put down his wine glass and nodded, "This was all four or five years ago, the parties are dead, and now the people who know the inside story are the Jiao brothers and sisters and that He Wendong." ”

"Find a way to pry Bai Jiao's mouth open!" Lin Tianxingdao.

"Tianxing is right, but if you want Bai Jiao's to speak, you must pay attention to strategy, you can't be brutal, and you can't torture!" Meng Yan nodded.

"Come, come, eat vegetables, it's cold, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later, look at you, I can't stop talking about the case!" Wen Xiaoyu urged repeatedly.

"Yes, eat vegetables, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, no matter how important the case is, it is not as important as eating......"

"Knock Knock ......"

"Why is there a knock on the door at this time?" The people in the room stopped their dishes and chopsticks one after another, showing surprised expressions.

"Son, shall I go down and take a look?" Lin Tianxing got up and said.

"Well, be careful." Meng Yan nodded and instructed. (To be continued......)
