Zhou Taiming's face was very ugly, and he said: "But if she didn't kill Xiaomin's son with the adulterer, how did Xiaomin's son die?" Who was the man who slept with Qin Yufen all night in the bed? Why didn't she resist in the slightest? ”

Song Ruilong said: "This county asks you, how many times did your son and Qin Yufen meet before they got married?"

Zhou Taiming said: "No." Every day, my son will write his thoughts about Qin Yufen into a letter for Mrs. Wang to bring to Qin Yufen, and Qin Yufen will also write love words for Mrs. Wang to bring to Xiaomin's son. They got to know each other through letters and the words of the matchmaker. ”

Song Ruilong said slowly: "That's right. Your son and Qin Yufen have never met each other, and last night, the night of candles in the cave room, was the first time they met. Although they both know each other's minds, they don't know each other's faces and voices. Therefore, it is also very normal for Qin Yufen to spend the night with others as your son. ”

Zhou Taiming still didn't believe Qin Yufen, he argued: "But my lord, it was Qin Yufen who asked Xiaomin's son to go up to the third floor!" If Qin Yufen hadn't discussed it with the adulterer on the third floor a long time ago, then why would she let Xiaomin's son go up to the third floor? ”

Song Ruilong said: "Zhou Taiming, these are your guesses, this county can only tell you like this, there is indeed a person hiding on the third floor, and that person is likely to be the one who wants to steal the bride's dowry, but he doesn't know where the dowry is, so he deliberately made some noise when he went upstairs, the purpose is to lure your son or your daughter-in-law to go." However, don't worry, the county will definitely find out the murderer. ”

After Song Ruilong said those words, he suddenly thought of one thing, and said: "Zhou Taiming, this county asks you, who is in charge of registering the gift list for your family's happy event yesterday?"

Zhou Taiming said without thinking: "It's Zhao Shitong, the old man in room 17 next door."

Song Ruilong said: "Bring the bill, and then call Zhao Shitong to the county."

After Zhou Taiming left, Su Xianrong asked beside him, "Do you think Zhao Shitong will know who the murderer is?" There are so many relatives and friends, I'm afraid it's not easy to check. ”

Song Ruilong smiled and said, "Not everyone among these relatives and friends wants to steal Qin Yufen's dowry. Qin Yufen's father wanted to make his daughter more beautiful, so he told others all those valuable things in advance, so in addition to the relatives and friends of the groom and the bride who knew that Qin Yufen had a valuable dowry, there were many strangers who were afraid to know. Those strangers are likely to mix in with those who give gifts, and we may find something to gain by checking the gift list. ”

It didn't take long for Zhou Taiming to hold a red gift slip in his hand and bring an old man in his sixties to Song Ruilong.

Zhou Taiming and the gray-bearded old man knelt in front of Song Ruilong together, and after saluting, Zhou Taiming handed the gift list to Song Ruilong and said: "My lord, please see, there are one hundred and fifty-four people on this gift list, and each person's gift situation is clearly remembered on it." ”

Song Ruilong took the gift list, flipped through it, and asked, "Do you know all the people on this gift list?" ”

Zhou Taiming shook his head and said: "This is similar to Xiaomin's age, Xiaomin still has some impressions, but if it is Xiaomin's junior, he has no impression." ”

Rong Ruilong went through the gift list, and finally stopped at a name called Zhang Kaiyun, and said a little strangely: "Who is this Zhang Kaiyun yours of?" ”

Zhou Taiming frowned, thought hard, shook his head and said, "My lord, Xiaomin has no impression of this Zhang Kaiyun at all. Although there are also people surnamed Zhang among Xiaomin's relatives and friends, among the younger generations, they have never heard of such a person as Zhang Kaiyun. ”

Song Ruilong moved his eyes to the old man and said, "You are Zhao Shitong who recorded the gift list yesterday, right?" ”

Zhao Shidao: "Yes, Xiaomin is Zhao Shitong." If the adults want to ask about this Zhang Kaiyun's situation, the old man knows something. This Zhang Kaiyun is ranked one hundredth, he is wearing gorgeous clothes, but he speaks very vulgarly, not like some rich kid. He held a fan in his hand, and a hidden poem was written on the fan, and the old man remembered that the content of the poem was: 'Zhang Fan lifted the boat and felt light, and ushered in the eight-sided wind. The clouds rise from the Tianshan Mountains and change greatly, and Junjie takes a boat in the river. ’”

Zhao Shitong finished the poem and explained: "Although the poem was not written by a well-known poet, it was definitely not written by someone like Zhang Kaiyun." ”

Song Ruilong was a little surprised: "Why do you say that? ”

Zhao Shitong smiled a little proudly and said: "The old man's salt in the past few decades has not been eaten in vain. Although the boy is dressed as a showman, the calluses on his hands can't deceive the old man. Xiucai's hands are used to dance and ink, but the man's hands are used to do rough work. The old man was a little strange at that time, and asked him whose son he was and what his relationship was with Zhou Taiming. That Zhang Kaiyun said that his father's name was Zhang Shibao, and because he was doing business outside all the year round, he was rarely at home. The old man glanced at Zhang Kaiyun at the time, and I didn't ask in detail, thinking to myself, no matter what, the person who came was a guest, and everyone was courteous, and the old man didn't want to say anything, so he let him go. ”

Song Ruilong felt that this Zhang Kaiyun was very suspicious, so he took out the gorgeous bloody clothes for Zhao Shitong to see, and said, "Zhao Shitong, do you remember what that person was wearing yesterday?" ”

Su Xianrong also helped pull the dress away and said, "Let's see if this dress was worn by Zhang Kaiyun when he went to the banquet yesterday?" ”

Zhao Shitong looked at it, both eyes were shining, and said, "Yes, yes, it's this dress." The clothes were made of fine silk, so the people remembered it more clearly. ”

Song Ruilong handed the clothes to Su Xianrong and asked her to put them away and put them in the sack.

Song Ruilong condensed and said, "It seems that the owner of that fan is also suspicious." ”

Song Ruilong immediately called Tie Chong and Shen Jing, told him what had happened, and said, "Tie Catcher Shen Catcher, you immediately go find a person named Zhang Kaiyun." He is a showman, although there are a lot of showmen in Ping'an County, but there are not many, this county believes that you will definitely be able to find Zhang Kaiyun. ”

Tie Chong took a poem handed to him by Song Ruilong in his hand, looked at it carefully, and said, "My lord, my subordinates seem to have seen this poem in the hall on the first floor of the Sifang Lai Grand Inn. The poem was written on the poetry stand in the lobby on the first floor. As for whether the person who wrote the poem is the Zhang Kaiyun, his subordinates still have to verify it. ”
