Of course, whether there is a special relationship needs to be further verified.

Qiao Ran stood at the door of the cloth village, looked at the door of the door, and then looked at the bustle of the shops on both sides, and felt more and more that this cloth village pestle was a little nondescript among them.

Standing in the doorway for a moment, she stepped inside.

As soon as he stepped in, he ate a mouthful of ashes.

The air was full of dust, Pei Qingqing frowned and fanned hard with her hand between her nose.

Qiao Ran also fanned, her eyes fell on the empty table and chair facing the door, and shouted, "Is there anyone?" ”

"Wait!" A slightly impatient voice rang out.

After a murmuring sound, someone broke through the curtain and walked out.

At first sight of this person, Qiao Ran's eyes couldn't help but darken.

Originally, when I heard the name "Wang Linhan", I thought it was a person who looked like a weak scholar, such as the bookstore owner I had just met, but I didn't expect to see it, but this person was completely different from what she imagined.

Although the body is not high, it can even be said that he is short, but he is strong, and he wears a short shirt in winter, and the muscles on his arms seem to be squeezed out.

This is not like an ordinary cloth shopkeeper.

After Qiao Ran looked at him for a while, he spoke: "Wang Linhan." ”

The shopkeeper looked up impatiently with a calm face, and paused when his eyes touched the official robe on Qiao Ran's body, and then asked unceremoniously: "What are the people from Dali Temple doing in my cloth village?" ”

He opened his mouth to identify her, obviously not wanting to talk nonsense.

That's fine, Qiao Ranxin said and explained his intentions: "I'll ask about Xue Huai." ”

Hearing this, Wang Linhan's face was stunned, and after being silent, he turned his head and said, "I don't know anything about Xue Huai." ”

I knew he wouldn't admit it.

"But that's not what the proprietor of the Sande Bookstore said," the girl only smiled when she heard this, her eyes fell on his face and looked up and down before she spoke again, "He said that you two know each other very well." ”

Pei Qingqing and Pingzhuang subconsciously glanced at Qiao Ran when they heard this.

The owner didn't say that, Miss Qiao (Master Qiao) is ridiculous again.

"Joke!" As soon as these words came out, Wang Linhan immediately sneered, stopped keeping silent, and said coldly, "How familiar am I with Xue Huai?" ”

Qiao Ran raised her eyebrows, very satisfied with Wang Linhan's "cooperation".

After a pause, she added, "He has already told us about the book......"

"That has nothing to do with me!" After Wang Linhan heard her say, "The matter of the book has been told", his face immediately sank, he snorted coldly, hooked the stool behind the table, and then sat on the chair and looked at them with a sneer.

"The first few books were written by the surname Xue, and then he was arrested and imprisoned by your Dali Temple? The people are in a hurry, and the person surnamed Zhao asked me to help write it, what does this have to do with me? Wang Linhan said.

Qiao Ran glanced at him, stretched out his hand in front of Pingzhuang, Pingzhuang was stunned for a moment, and quickly took the deed out of his arms and handed it to her.

Qiao Ran took the deed and shook it open, then pointed to the name on the deed and asked him, "Then why is your name written here?" ”

The law of Da Chu is still perfect for taxation, and the bookstore finds someone to write a book, and the money earned from selling the book is also within the scope of payment.

If it is a book or two that does not sell well, it is fine, like "The Biography of the Scholar's Divine Pen" is so good, the Chang'an Mansion will not miss it, and it will be recorded in advance.

In other words, she felt that it was extremely unlikely that Zhao Dongjia would take a fake deed to her, after all, this was something that could be verified by a trip to Chang'an Mansion.

It's just that Wang Linhan's name is on the deed, but the person who received the money may not really be Wang Linhan, some people have their own plans in private, which can't be found.

Therefore, the words can only be taken out of their mouths.

Although there was already a guess about why Xue Huai would find someone to sign on her behalf, it was still short of Wang Linhan's personal admit.

Sure enough, as soon as this question came out, Wang Linhan snorted disdainfully and said: "Why else?" Naturally, he was afraid that the people of the Huaiguo Mansion would find out. Hasn't he always been like this? It's like a thief to the people of the Xue family. ”

With Wang Linhan's admission, Qiao Ran smiled, paused and said: "The people are not satisfied with the last volume you wrote, it can be seen that you are not good at writing, after Xue Huai came out of prison, I am afraid that he will come to you and Zhao Dongjia as soon as he comes out, but he knows that the two of you have written a new volume by yourself, and he is afraid that he will have a dislike with you because of this dissatisfaction." ”

When Wang Linhan heard her say this, his face froze, but he still defended his head: "If you want to find the person surnamed Zhao, he threaded the whole thing from it, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

Qiao Ran snorted, but his expression was noncommittal, he only paused, and asked him again: "Didn't you have a dispute that day?" ”

"It's a dispute, it's just a fight." Wang Linhan waved his hand a little impatiently, as if he wanted to drive the girl out in front of him.

As soon as these words came out, he didn't realize that he said anything that shouldn't be said, until he saw the shocked eyes of the two people next to the girl, and then he reacted consciously, looked at everyone, and asked puzzledly, "What are you looking at me?" ”

The girl smiled, stretched out her hand, pointed in the direction of the bridge outside, and said, "Xue Huai came to you from the Huaiguo Mansion, it stands to reason that he went to the bridge first, and then walked around and walked to this street to see you and the owner, and then if they want to leave, they should leave from the other side, but why did they have something to do on the bridge?" ”

Wang Linhan's face changed slightly.

That is, the path and the event are not right before and after.

In Xue Huai's case, many of them were found to be problematic after sorting out the order of things.

This is also one of them.

Just now, Wang Linhan blurted out "just quarreling", it can be seen that he had already seen Xue Huai that day, so Xue Huai came from the Huaiguo Mansion, passed by the bridge, and as a result, the ground slipped and fell into the river, this statement is not true.

Either Xue Huai saw the two of them go and returned, or before passing the bridge, Xue Huai had already seen Wang Linhan and the owner of the bookstore.

There are two speculations, she is more inclined to the latter, after all, it may be difficult for people to remember what happened a long time ago, but on the day of Xue Huai's accident, Dali Temple arrived quickly, but no one had seen Xue Huai at that time.

There are so many people on this street, the road is narrow, most of them are walking, Xue Huai passed by in a carriage, and some people will definitely mention it when they see it, but the fact is that no one mentions this stubble at all.

"Where did you meet Xue Huai that day?" Qiao Ran pondered for a moment and asked again.

Wang Linhan was silent, and after a while, he replied: "The teahouse on the street in front. Xue Huai was very vigilant, afraid that he would be discovered by the people of the Xue family who often came and went to us, so he made an appointment with us in the teahouse every time he talked about the book. ”

Qiao Ran remembered that he had indeed seen a teahouse on the street in front of him on the way, so he nodded and said, "I'll take someone to verify it later." ”

However, is Xue Huai's vigilance against the Xue family too much? Thinking of Xue Huai's actions, Qiao Ran was a little puzzled.

But at the moment, this matter has nothing to do with the case for the time being, and Wang Linhan also spoke again at this time. He said, "What have I done to you?" His book sold well and made a lot of money, but he and the person surnamed Zhao took the lion's share, and I only took an add-on. ”

"So, you made a move on Xue Huai because of your jealousy?" Qiao Ran spoke again.

As for Xue Huai's death because of the injury on his forehead, she didn't disclose it.

"No, I just pushed him." Wang Linhan said nonchalantly, "Forget the first few books, I wrote the last volume, he scolded me for what bullshit I wrote, and said that he and the surname Zhao want to take the lion's share of the money for the last volume, how can I agree?" In a fit of rage, she pushed him. ”

He said with a little indignation in his expression, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with the events at that time, but he didn't notice the slight change in everyone's faces after he spoke.

Pushed it...... Qiao Ran was silent for a moment and asked Wang Linhan: "After you pushed him, where did he hurt?" ”

Wang Linhan thought for a while, pointed to his forehead, and said, "That's it!" ”

Pei Qingqing couldn't help but gasp when she heard this, compared to Pingzhuang, who didn't know a lot of things, she followed Miss Qiao all the way yesterday, and naturally knew a lot.

She hadn't forgotten what Miss Qiao said: Xue Huai's cause of death seemed to be the wound on his forehead. So...... The case is solved?

It turns out that this one in front of me is the murderer! Thinking like this, Pei Qingqing couldn't help but glance Wang Linhan up and down.

The murderer is right in front of you, and he still doesn't beat himself up as a murderer!

Wang Linhan, who looked at him like this, couldn't help frowning, looked at Pei Qingqing with a cold face, and roared angrily: "What are you looking at? ”

Look at the murderer! Pei Qingqing stuck out her tongue and turned her face to look at Qiao Ran.

It's still Miss Qiao, good-looking and not afraid of others looking at it, and she won't get angry when she sees it.

However, Miss Qiao also looked stunned, and it seemed that she didn't expect the murderer in front of her to recruit herself.

Qiao Ran was silent for a moment, looked at the murderer in front of him who didn't confess, paused, and asked again: "Then Xue Huai will leave after that?" ”

"yes, he pointed at me and said that he wanted me to look good, so he left." Speaking of this, Wang Linhan couldn't help but urge her, "After that, I don't know, my lord, what else do you have to ask?" ”

Qiao Ran shook his head, glanced at Pingzhuang on the side, and said, "Take it away!" ”

There are all human and material evidence, and there is also his personal corroboration, this matter should not be faked.

Wang Linhan was shocked, but he was suppressed by Pingzhuang and Pei Qingqing's force without much struggle.

The muscles that seemed to tear the robe were just brute force, and they couldn't go for a round when they really knew how to fight.

When he returned to Dali Temple with Wang Linhan, it was almost time to get off duty.

When he entered the house, Zhen Shiyuan was sitting behind the table and holding Xiaohua for a while, and when he saw her suddenly walk in from the door, his subordinates instinctively forced, Xiaohua meowed in pain, and gave Zhen Shiyuan a paw to jump to the ground and run.

Zhen Shiyuan covered the seal on his hand and secretly said a few words, "Playing with cats is discouraged", and then frowned and looked at Qiao Ran: "Has the case progressed?" ”

She came back before the next value, so it can be seen that she has made a discovery, otherwise, she should have come back with a pinch.

Qiao Ran nodded, walked to the table and poured a cup of tea, took it and drank it all.

Zhen Shiyuan said again: "What about Pingzhuang and the girl named Pei Qingqing?" ”

Why didn't you see the two who followed her in the morning?

Qiao Ran said: "Pei Qingqing went to the canteen to wait for the walnut crisp, and Pingzhuang took Wang Linhan to prison." ”

"Who is Wang Linhan?" Zhen Shiyuan said strangely.

Go out to handle a case and bring someone back?

"Murderer." Two words blurted out.

Before looking at Zhen Shiyuan's face, Qiao Ran put down the teacup, poured himself a cup of tea again, and said again after taking a sip, "It's the real murderer who gave Xue Huai the slap on his forehead." ”

What the? Zhen Shiyuan was shocked when he heard this, stood up suddenly, walked around the corner of the table, and said excitedly: "What did you say?" ”

Qiao Ran glanced at him and spread his hands: "It's the murderer!" The wound on Xue Huai's forehead was from his handwriting. ”

Zhen Shiyuan, who was speaking, had already come back to his senses, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but step forward and asked her, "Really?" ”

Having said that, she went to visit the old east gate today! In less than a day, how did she find out the murderer, but what evidence is there?

Qiao Ran nodded and said, "Seriously, what he said himself, it can be regarded as admitting it himself!" ”

Admit it yourself...... Zhen Shiyuan, who was still muttering about the evidence, seemed to be choked all of a sudden, and after a pause, he looked at her with a strange expression and said, "Admit it yourself...... That's good. "There's really no stronger evidence than this.

Qiao Ran did not disappoint Zhen Shiyuan, and after a few cups of tea, she told her what had happened.

After learning that it was Wang Linhan himself who said, "I pushed Xue Huai a bit", Zhen Shiyuan also fell silent, and after a pause, he couldn't help but glance at her, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Your case...... It's so easy! ”

Can it still be like this? The murderer himself confessed that he was the murderer? Why did all the good things happen to her?

Qiao Ran was also a little helpless: it was the first time she had seen this kind of murderer blow himself up.

It can be seen that there are many cases, and any kind of murderer can be seen, and there are naturally such stupid self-explosions.

"But he blew himself up like this, obviously he didn't know that Xue Huai died at that moment, in this case, it can be regarded as manslaughter, and the crime will not lead to death." Now that the murderer has been found, Zhen Shiyuan has already begun to think about what kind of punishment he will face.

In the past, it was always said that she investigated the case based on her ability, but this time it was really based on luck.

Zhen Shiyuan still breathed a sigh of relief: there is no accumulation of cases, and solving one more case is always a good thing for Dali Temple.

However, before he could laugh, the girl spoke again: "Xue Huai's death is solved, but there is a problem with the death of the coachman and the little maid." ”

Zhen Shiyuan's face suddenly became ugly: There is still a problem with the driver and the little guy?

Although he was dissatisfied and resentful, he still knew that girls were not people who opened their mouths, so he asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Although the place where the incident happened was a dead end, no one could see it, but no one heard the cry for help." "Of course, it could be a coincidence, such as everyone is busy, or their ears are not very sharp. ”

Zhen Shiyuan, who listened to this coincidence, couldn't help but roll his eyes.

The girl only smiled when she saw this, and then continued: "But compared to the reason why everyone's ears are not very good, it is more likely that someone lit Wang Linhan's firecrackers at that time, and the firecrackers were loud and noisy. ”

Therefore, it became excusable that everyone could not hear it, and the firecrackers that were lit at that time became suspicious.
