Long Xi didn't think so, although there were a lot of well-dressed beasts in this world, but Mo Kunlun gave up the high-ranking official in the capital and returned to his hometown to become a sesame official in order to embarrass a small dye factory?

"Well, I'll ask the butler later, and see if he remembers the man's face. Long Xi felt that she might be able to go to Zhu Xingyi to inquire about the relationship between Mo Kunlun and Xu Ju.

But in this way, it makes sense why Mo Kunlun will be present today.

"How are you going to investigate the case?"

"First go and go through your father's daily route, and ask the tenants and workers if they can find anything unusual about your father. Then wait for Zhu Xingyi's autopsy report to see if he has any new discoveries. Then find a way to find the person who often meets with your father. As he spoke, Long Xi suddenly patted his head and asked hurriedly, "Did your father visit Wei Ting some time ago?"

Zhao Kaizhi nodded: "Uncle Lei and my father have been business partners for many years, and when he came to Juxin County, my father naturally wanted to pay a visit." ”

"And what did they say, do you know?"

"I don't know, my dad rarely tells me these things. ”

Long Xi asked again: "Did your father go to Chaoyun County a few days ago?"

"Yes, most of the materials for my dye workshop are purchased from Chaoyun County, and the quality of the materials there is much better than that of other states and counties. Zhao Kaizhi replied truthfully.

"I think it's time for us to go to Chaoyun County. Long Xi's expression was solemn.

Long Xi is a man of action, and he didn't want to delay for half a moment when he said that he was going to Chaoyun County, so he went back to the inn and hurriedly packed up twice before preparing to go out. Feng Sanniang heard her say that she was looking for evidence to save her, and naturally she would not embarrass her, and other people in the inn also said that they would share her work and let her feel at ease to find evidence.

Originally, it was just an ordinary trip, but it made them a little heroic, Long Xi was a little crying and laughing, but he also knew that they were out of kindness, so he thanked them very seriously.

At this time, Zhao Jin and Gongsun Wuming happened to come down from upstairs, and when they saw a large group of people surrounding Long Xi, they couldn't help but be curious, and came over to inquire about the situation. After learning that Long Xi was going to Chaoyun County, Zhao Jin immediately spoke: "Let's go with the girl below, there is a response on the left and right." The murderer is still at large, and it is very likely that he is strong in martial arts, and it may be dangerous for the girl to go alone. ”

"Why did she go alone, isn't there still me?" Zhao Kai glanced at Zhao Jin with an unhappy face, and his words were full of youthful arrogance.

Zhao Jin didn't expect the existence of such a person, and couldn't help but look up and down: "Your Excellency?"

"It's not about you. Zhao Kaizhi didn't have a good airway, like an awkward child.

Long Xi hurriedly stood up and played a round: "Since that's the case, then thank you in advance, let's go together." Her consideration is that since there is really that kind of supernatural martial arts, then the murderer is very likely to be a so-called martial arts master, otherwise how can he put the bloody clothes into the inn?

If the murderer is really strong in martial arts, then whether it is for his own safety or for Zhao Kaizhi's safety, it is always good to have one more helper. On the other hand, the day when Zhao Jin's master and servant appeared happened to be close to the day of the first murder, and they were likely to be related to these two murders, and it was better to watch them than not to know their whereabouts.

Besides, there are so many eyes watching here, even if they are murderers, they don't dare to hurt her life rashly, as long as there is an accident on the way to Chaoyun County, they will definitely be inseparable.

On the way to Chaoyun County, there was no wave, but Zhao Kaizhi never gave Zhao Jin a good look, either cold words or sarcasm. Zhao Jin is generous and doesn't care about him, but Gongsun Wuming's face is not good-looking, and he glared at Zhao Kaizhi fiercely several times, and it seems that he can't dismantle him.

Long Xi felt a headache, she was here to investigate the case, not to deal with these messy interpersonal relationships. I knew that it would be so troublesome, so she was determined to come alone and bring no one.

When they arrived in Chaoyun County, the three of them stayed in an inn, planning to go to the Yongsheng in the city early the next morning to meet the shopkeeper Chen Shengxiao, who was the person Xu Ju must see when he came to Chaoyun County to purchase goods.

The next day, it didn't take much effort for the three of them to meet Chen Shengxiao, who was the largest grocer in Chaoyun County, so it was easy to find. He was extremely shocked by the sudden death of his old friend, and after comforting Zhao Kai for a while, he told them about Xu Ju's coming to Chaoyun County.

"Lao Zhao came here basically to purchase dyes, this time he is looking at the condition of the new Jiangnan goods, if it is good, he plans to switch to this kind of goods in the future. Chen Shengxiao is a middle-aged man in his forties, tall and fat, with a sad look on his face at this time, "This batch of goods is in good condition, and the price is also high, and it takes a lot of money to replace all of them with this batch of goods." I also laughed that his business is getting bigger and bigger, and he is willing to pay so much money. ”

"Who would have thought that he had only been gone for a few days, just-" Chen Shengxiao sighed and said, "At that time, I said that a batch of fine wine from the Western Regions would be delivered in a few days, and I told him to stay for a few more days and leave after tasting the wine, but he was in a hurry to go home." If I knew this was the case, I would have dragged him and didn't let him go home!"

"Shopkeeper Chen, was everything normal when Xu Ju came to you, was there anything strange?" Long Xi asked patiently.

Chen Shengxiao thought for a moment, frowned, and said: "There is nothing strange, it's just that Lao Zhao's face is not good, I asked him if he encountered any problems, he only quarreled with his wife, he was unhappy, and there was nothing else." It is common for husbands and wives to quarrel with each other, and I don't doubt him, so I don't ask any more. Could it be something else?"

Long Xi and Zhao Kaizhi glanced at each other, and each had a plan in his heart.

The three of them chatted here, while Zhao Jin leisurely wandered around the store, picking up the printed and dyed fabrics from time to time to take a closer look, and seemed to be very interested in these things. Gongsun Nameless followed him without saying a word, silent as a moving stone.

"Does the shopkeeper of Chen know who Xu Ju will visit besides you?"

"Lao Zhao doesn't know many people in Chaoyun County, and almost all of them come here for dyes, except for me, he really doesn't go to other places often. Chen Shengxiao thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It seems that I really can't think of where he will go, so why don't you go back to the house with me and ask the family members who are waiting for Lao Zhao to see if they find anything abnormal." ”

"Since that's the case, then it's troublesome for Shopkeeper Chen. Long Xi said with a smile.

At this time, Zhao Jin, who had been shopping for a long time, stopped next to the lotus-shaped incense burner, looked at the white smoke rising up, and suddenly said, "The smoked in this store of Shopkeeper Chen is Furong Xiang?"

Chen Shengxiao smiled and said: "This son is right, it is the Furong incense that is smoked, isn't it that the son also likes this kind of incense?"

"No, it's just that an old man also likes this incense, so let's learn a thing or two. Zhao Jin shook his head and smiled.

Chen Shengxiao nodded and took the four of them home.

The Chen Mansion covers a small area, but it is finely arranged, revealing elegance everywhere, not at all like the style of a businessman, but a bit of a scholarly family. Chen Shengxiao asked his subordinates to place the four of them in the west chamber, and then called the servants who had waited for Xu Ju so that Long Xi could ask for details.

But after asking around, Long Xi didn't get any useful information. It was not the first time Xu Ju had come to Chen's Mansion as a guest, and it was not the first time that those subordinates had served him, so they were very familiar with his habits of living and eating.

According to their recollections, Xu Ju did not have any abnormalities during the four days he was in Chen's Mansion, and every day he would get up after the rooster crow, take a walk in the garden for a while, and then return to visit for breakfast. After breakfast, I will go to the store with Chen Shengxiao to check the dye, and then go back to the house on time to eat.

Just when Long Xi thought that there was no gain again, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy suddenly said: "By the way, once the old man went to attend the banquet of the county squire, but the old man Zhao did not go with him, and after coming back early, he was locked in the room alone, and I went to knock on the door at dinner and asked him if he had eaten, and I didn't come out until the second watch to call me to get him something to eat." ”

Long Xi's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked: "Did he say what he did, do you remember his expression at that time?"

The little guy shook his head and said, "He just said it was a nap, and he didn't want to oversleep." It was too dark, and I was standing in the courtyard again, and I couldn't see his expression clearly, so I just brought him some food and delivered it to the door. But at that time, he looked very normal, and there was nothing strange about him. ”

"Well, thank you very much, let's do it for today, if you think of anything, come and tell me, I'll probably have to stay here for two or three days. Long Xi saw that he couldn't find anything, so he let everyone disperse and went back to the room alone.

She had just spread herself out on the bed in a large shape and was about to sort out the information she knew, when there was a knock at the door.

"Come in. ”

Zhao Kaizhi pushed open the door and walked to the bedside, looking at Long Xi's posture condescendingly and disdainfully: "The posture is rude, I really don't know if you are a reader." ”

Hearing her words, Long Xi simply lifted Erlang's legs and said nonchalantly: "So what, don't you still have to call me brother? ”

Zhao Kaizhi glared at her unconvinced, but sat helplessly on the edge of the bed, pulling the sheets with one hand: "I just want to know if you have a clue, looking at the situation, my father doesn't seem to have any obvious abnormalities." ”

As long as it is an anomaly, even if it is just a subtle movement, it is called an anomaly, and no matter whether it is obvious or not, any anomaly may be the key to solving the case. I don't understand this, are you messing around with me?" Long Xi sat up, crossed his legs, and began to teach this little tsundere man, and at the same time wailed in his heart: I am obviously playing a time travel game, and I have not really been a detective or a policeman, who I recruit to provoke someone, I am also a half-ass, okay!

Zhao Kaizhi suddenly became half a step shorter, and stammered: "Then, then you say, let's talk about it, I really don't know where to start." ”
