Song Ruilong glanced at Chen Xin and said, "Chen Xin, this county asks you, who has the key to this library pavilion?"

Chen Xindao: "This library pavilion is a place that the master attaches great importance to, in addition to the young master Zeng Liang has the key, Li Zhiyi, Wang Xuewen and the maid Xiao Cuihong who cleans the study also have the key."

Song Ruilong pondered: "The keys to the library in Li Zhiyi and Wang Xuewen's rooms are missing, what does this mean?"

Su Xianrong said affirmatively: "Then you still need to ask?" It must have been the murderer who took the key and opened the door to the library. ”

Song Ruilong nodded and said, "Exactly." Last night was a big day for Zeng's house, and even Li Zhiyi and Wang Xuewen, who like to read the most, went to drink Zeng Liang's wedding wine, so who would take Li Zhiyi and Wang Xuewen's library key to open the door of the library? ”

Su Xianrong said: "If the murderer is really Li Zhiyi, then there is no need for the murderer to steal Wang Xuewen's key, he can open the door of the library by himself."

Song Ruilong said: "Maybe he wants to blame others, he wants to steal Wang Xuewen's key to open the door of the library pavilion, just to tell us that the murderer does not have the key to the library pavilion." Wants to lead us astray. ”

Song Ruilong looked at Chen Xin and said, "Open the door!"

After Chen Xin opened the door, walked into the library and lit the lanterns around him, Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong conducted a careful search in the library pavilion.

Song Ruilong searched for a long time but found nothing, and in the end, he felt that a row of bookshelves had been removed, so he walked to the bookshelf and said to Su Xianrong: "Rongrong, look here."

Su Xianrong looked fixedly. "There are traces of bookshelves being moved, and this trace is still new."

Song Ruilong put his hand on the bookshelf and gently pushed forward. The bookshelves were removed.

Song Ruilong found a brick with a gap in the back of the bookshelf, he removed the brick, took out an ordinary tattered shirt from it, and took out a pair of worn coarse cloth shoes from it.

After Song Ruilong took out the clothes and shoes and showed them to Chen Xin, he said, "Chen Xin, do you know these clothes and shoes?"

Chen Xin's expression was very strange, and he was startled at first. Later, he pretended to be calm and said, "These clothes and shoes, Xiaomin has never seen them."

Song Ruilong said to Su Xianrong: "Put away your shoes and clothes first." Let Zeng Chao take a look. ”

Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong came to Zeng Chao's living room, and after letting him see the clothes and shoes, Zeng Chao shook his head and said, "These clothes and shoes." Xiaomin didn't pay attention to who from Zeng's Mansion had passed through. Those who work in the Zeng Mansion have our Zeng Mansion to provide clothes. I am sure that the owner of this garment is not from our Zeng Mansion. ”

Su Xianrong said: "It's not someone from Zeng's Mansion, it's someone from outside Zeng's Mansion."

Song Ruilong said: "It is very likely that this person is a person who has done things in Zeng's Mansion, and he is also directly involved in the excavation of the secret passage, who will this person be?"

Zeng Chao proposed: "Otherwise, let the people of Zeng's Mansion take a look, maybe someone will know the owner of this dress and shoes."

After Song Ruilong agreed, Zeng Chao asked those subordinates to come in one by one to recognize the dress.

When it was Qian Xiaohao's turn, his eyes lit up. Stretching his neck, he said excitedly: "These shoes." Xiaomin didn't pay attention to it, but Xiaomin knew this dress. ”

Song Ruilong was pleasantly surprised: "Then whose dress is this?"

Qian Xiaohao said: "The clothes are Chen Dahong's. That day, when Xiaomin was gambling in the Tianyun Gambling House in Ping'an County, he saw Chen Dahong. Chen Dahong was wearing this dress at the time, and the sleeve of the dress was torn, Xiaomin joked to him, Brother Hong, you are no longer working in Zengfu, why did you come out like this? Chen Dahong didn't say anything at the time, he asked Xiaomin to lend him ten taels of silver. How could Xiaomin have ten taels of silver, so he gave him fifty wen, saying that Brother Hong, the younger brother is not rich, how can he have so much money in his hand? You know that you can't make much money a month, and you have to be deducted. Chen Dahong took the money, shook it in his hand and said, If I hadn't been unlucky recently, I wouldn't have borrowed money from you. Okay, when I'm done, I'll pay you back. ”

Song Ruilong said: "When was that?"

Qian Xiaohao thought about it and said: "Oh, by the way, it was three days ago, Xiaomin also asked Chen Dahong, saying that the relationship between you and the young master used to be like a brother, but now, the young master is going to get married, do you want to go?" Chen Dahong sighed at that time, pulled his tattered sleeves, and said Can you go like this? I went to make them laugh. I originally wanted to marry Ren Qiuling, but, hey! That's it for now. No matter how good Qiu Ling is, she is always someone else's daughter-in-law, this is the life of a person. ”

Song Ruilong said: "That is to say, Chen Dahong knows about Zeng Liang's marriage, so does he know about the secret passage?"

Qian Xiaohao said: "Back then, it was Chen Dahong who proposed to dig up that secret passage, and also said that the young master would also dig a secret passage in his room, so that he wouldn't have to worry if he wanted to go out at night."

Song Ruilong asked, "Then later, how did Chen Dahong leave Zeng's mansion?"

Qian Xiaohao shook his head and said: "This Xiaomin is not clear, but I heard from others that Chen Dahong was wrong to Ren Qiuling and was discovered by the young master, and the young master read that his father Chen Xin saved his father, so he let Chen Dahong go out by himself." Chen Dahong also made up a very ambitious reason, saying that he wanted to go out and break through, and in the future, he would also do a big career and build a big mansion like Zeng's mansion. It's all deception. Chen Dahong walked out of the door of Zeng's mansion, he was like a dog, begging everywhere, but he couldn't pull that face when he wanted to go back to Zeng's mansion. ”

After Song Ruilong learned about Chen Dahong, he let Qian Xiaohao go out.

Su Xianrong said: "It seems that there is a great possibility that this Chen Dahong committed a crime. His clothes and shoes were at the scene of the crime, and he was also familiar with the environment of Zeng's mansion. And he is a gangster, likes to gamble, has no legitimate source of money, and is more likely to kill and rob. ”

Song Ruilong said: "There is another question, since Chen Dahong needs money so much, why didn't he look for money after killing Zeng Liang?"

Su Xianrong said: "Maybe he doesn't have time." Or his purpose is the bride, and Chen Dahong is very scared after the killing, so he can't care about looking for silver. In any case, this Chen Dahong must have a lot to do with this case, we just need to find Chen Dahong, and the matter will be easy to handle. ”

After Song Ruilong knew that Chen Dahong was Chen Xin's son, he immediately asked people to call Chen Xin.

Song Ruilong asked Chen Xin to look at the clothes and shoes on the table, and said, "Chen Xin, you have to answer truthfully, do you recognize the clothes and shoes on the table?"
