Su Jinpeng said: "Do you have your Brother Zheng's handwriting?"

Xie Xiaofei nodded and said, "Yes, it's in my boudoir."

Xie Xiaofei took Su Jinpeng to her boudoir.

Xie Xiaofei's boudoir has a very strong fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and there is a painting hanging on the wall, which depicts the scene of the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd meeting at the Queqiao, and two poems are inscribed in the lower right corner of the painting: If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight?

Xie Xiaofei introduced: "This painting was painted by Brother Zheng, and these two poems are also inscribed by Brother Zheng. Brother Zheng had a strange illness three years ago, and when he wrote that poem, it was also when he was seriously ill. He never gave up on me when he was seriously ill, and said that he would get better, and when he was well, he would marry me. Brother Zheng's favorite is the fragrance of osmanthus, so when I buy rouge gouache, I will buy fat powder with the fragrance of osmanthus, and most of the flowers planted in the garden are osmanthus flowers. ”

Su Jinpeng seemed to understand Xie Xiaofei's feelings for Zheng Zhifei.

Su Jinpeng's heart was sour, and he said, "I understand your love for Zheng Zhifei." The handwriting you are talking about is the handwriting on this painting, right? ”

"Pen, ink, paper, inkstone!"

Su Jinpeng asked Xie Xiaofei for pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and he immediately wrote down two lines of poetry on the paper: If the love between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight?

Su Jinpeng asked Xie Xiaofei to look at the two lines of poetry and said, "I don't know what Miss Xie thinks?"

Xie Xiaofei's expression was very complicated, she shook her head, and said, "No, no, Brother Zheng won't lie to me."

Su Jinpeng said: "I just want to tell you that it is not difficult for a person to imitate other people's handwriting. Your brother Zheng won't lie to you, but someone will. ”

Xie Xiaofei was surprised and said, "You mean that someone is pretending to be my brother Zheng to have a relationship with me?"

Su Jinpeng nodded and said, "I don't rule out this possibility."

Xie Xiaofei looked at Su Jinpeng with strange eyes and said, "You mean that you are the one who pretended to be my brother Zheng and dated me?"

Su Jinpeng smiled and said, "If I say that I am the person who pretended to be your brother Zheng and had correspondence with you, would you believe it?"

Xie Xiaofei looked at Su Jinpeng, the expression on her face was very complicated. "You? You won't. ”

Xie Xiaofei said calmly: "Say, what are you looking for me?"

Su Jinpeng said indifferently: "Since Miss Xie said so, then I won't sell it." Under is the tolerance of the county government of Ping'an County, and I do have something to do with you today. ”

Xie Xiaofei slowly sat on the chair, looked at Su Jinpeng and said, "Official, please take a seat!"

Su Jinpeng was a little uncomfortable. He sat down slowly and said, "The girl still calls me Su Gongzi!"

Xie Xiaofei said: "Okay, Master Su, please tell me if there is anything."

Su Jinpeng said: "Miss Xie, that's the case, last night, Qin Weixia, the owner of Room No. 1 Kuishou Lane on Anding Road, was killed in his own home. According to our investigation, Qin Weixia was recently talking to a Xiucai named Tang Jizong. ”

Xie Xiaofei looked at Su Jinpeng suspiciously: "Qin Weixia is talking to others, what does this have to do with me?"

Su Jinpeng continued: "This matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with the girl. But we found this thing, and this one. ”

Su Jinpeng put the love poem and the dog-shaped Hetian jade pendant on the table, and said: "This jade pendant was given to Qin Weixia by Tang Jizong, and asked Qin Weixia to pass it on to his sweetheart. This love poem was found in Tang Jizong's home. According to Tang Jizong, his sweetheart not only agreed to marry Tang Jizong, but also went to Tang Jizong's house many times in the middle of the night. ”

Xie Xiaofei's face changed greatly, and said, "What Master Su means, forgive me for being stupid." Incomprehensible. ”

Su Jinpeng said: "Miss Xie is a smart person, I believe Miss Xie must understand what I mean."

Xie Xiaofei said very calmly: "If I say that I haven't met anyone at night. Would you believe it? ”

Su Jinpeng said: "As long as the girl can come up with evidence that convinces me, I will believe it."

Xie Xiaofei thought for a while and said, "I have always supported the official mission to handle the case, since Su Gongzi did not let me go to the court to clarify this matter, it means that Su Gongzi has given me enough face and is thinking about my reputation." I, Xie Xiaofei, are no longer sensible. I still understand this. ”

Xie Xiaofei paused for a moment and said, "Three years ago, since my brother Zheng died, my heart also died. During these three years, I have been thinking about my brother Zheng every day. My father didn't know how much he told me about the sons of rich families. But I just wasn't tempted. Until three months ago, Qin Weixia met me by telling me about the matchmaker, and she told me that Brother Zheng was not dead. However, my brother Zheng can't see me, because his appearance has not fully recovered, and as soon as his appearance is restored, he will marry me immediately. ”

Su Jinpeng asked in a low voice, "Do you believe Qin Weixia's words?"

Xie Xiaofei seemed to be very painful, and said: "At first, I didn't believe it, but because I missed my brother Zheng too much, even if I was deceived by her, I was willing."

Su Jinpeng said: "Can you tell me how Qin Weixia lied to you?"

Xie Xiaofei nodded and said, "Yes." When Qin Weixia started, she said a lot of things about Zheng Zhifei, and those things were all love words that Zheng Zhifei had said to me before, and those words were unknown to others except for my brother Zheng. So, I believed, I believe that my brother Zheng is still alive. I wrote a love poem to my brother Zheng at that time, expressing my thoughts about him. The next day, my brother Zheng really replied to me, he said that he also missed me very much, and said a lot of words of lovesickness, those words, my tears wet my clothes when I saw them. ”

Xie Xiaofei seemed to be immersed in that memory, her tears became more and more, and slowly, the tears fell down like beads with broken threads.

Su Jinpeng handed the handkerchief he was carrying to Xie Xiaofei and said, "Miss Xie, don't be sad, wipe it!"

Xie Xiaofei took the handkerchief, wiped away her tears, and said, "Thank you!"

Xie Xiaofei returned the handkerchief to Su Jinpeng and said, "That letter is still there, Gongzi can take a look, the handwriting on the letter is indeed my Brother Zheng's."

After reading the letters, Su Jinpeng said: "Although these words look like a man's handwriting, in fact, each word has a common feature, and these common characteristics reveal that the person who wrote this letter is not a man."

Xie Xiaofei's eyes stared at the handwriting, and said, "What are the characteristics of what Gongzi Su said?"

Su Jinpeng pointed to the word "thought" of "missing" and said: "You see, the word "thought" of "missing", the mention of "lying heart", and the stroke of "thinking" have been deliberately changed, but it still has a little flaw. This flaw is like the last stitch when a woman embroiders, which is very thin and not strong enough. If my guess is correct, Qin Weixia's embroidery skills are also first-class, right? ”
