Chapter 2: The Well of Blood
[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that after the Lantern Festival, Mu Qingming went to work at Rong Bao Zhai on time. Just gave the welfare picture Li shopkeeper who came to Rong Bao Zhai to buy something and sold a jade dog carved from ancient Han jade, and Zhao Liang came to the door. claimed that she found out from the foreigner's piano store that Zhang Qianqian bought a string in it on the first day of Wu's mother's death. Zhao Liang insisted on asking Zhang Qianqian, and Zhang Qianqian admitted that she had bought the strings, but she had changed them to her own piano. After some inspection, Zhang Qianqian also took the broken strings to prove her innocence. Zhao Liang was confused for a while, and when he was thinking about what he was wrong with, he suddenly heard a noise outside the house, and people rushed to tell each other, claiming that there was blood coming out of a well in the area of Shize and Dressing. 】
"I just want to ask, was the string that strangled Wu's mother sent to the police department by Zhang Qianqian?" Zhao Liang paused, and said, "After all, this time is too much of a coincidence. And the guy at the foreign goods store also showed me the kind of strings that Zhang Qianqian bought, which was exactly the same as strangling Wu's mother. ”。
Mu Qingming still looked at Zhao Liang with a smile, as if he was watching a joke. If others don't know, will he still not know? After this Zhang Qianqian came back from studying at a girls' school in other provinces, she basically didn't leave the door.
Occasionally, when I go to the street, I come and go in a hurry, and I never stay outside again when I buy something; At least when he was in Rong Bao Zhai, he saw Zhang Qianqian like this. What's more, this little family Jasper is a person who will cover her eyes when she sees a chicken, saying that she has the courage to plan a silent murder together, which really lifts her up.
"Let's call Ling Yan out and let me ask properly." Zhao Liang looked at the shopkeeper Zhang, who was already panicking, and said with a slight bow: "If I make a mistake, I will definitely apologize." ”。
How can the shopkeeper not panic? Although he was widowed in his early years, he still did his best to discipline Zhang Qianqian. In the past, he and his daughter were also responsible for being human beings, and suddenly a murderous hat was buckled on his daughter's head, and he was not in a hurry as a father, which is called strange.
At this time, the shopkeeper Zhang was so distraught that he didn't know where to put his hands.
"It's fine." Mu Qingming thought about it, since Zhao Liang insisted, he might as well let him ask, so it would be easy to say. So he also turned his head to look at his shopkeeper, and said slowly: "Shopkeeper, you invite Ling Yan out and let the chief detective ask; If you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, if Zhao Liang is really mistaken, I will definitely ask him to apologize to you and Ling Yan. ”。
Shopkeeper Zhang was already a little frightened by Zhao Liang, and when he heard Mu Qingming say this, he just nodded stunned, and walked towards the house behind the store after a sigh.
"Don't scare him, what an honest businessman." Before the shopkeeper Zhang left, Mu Qingming pulled down his face and scolded Zhao Liang: "You haven't figured out anything, what kind of coincidence or not?" ”。
After he came to Kunming, he also had a lot of care from the shopkeeper. With this sentiment in mind, I had to turn my elbows more or less to the shopkeeper Zhang's side.
Zhao Liang didn't squeak, as long as he could figure out the facts of the case, he didn't care about other things.
After a while, Shopkeeper Zhang took Zhang Qianqian back to the hall, and after letting the other miscellaneous guys get off work early, Mu Qingming went to the door to hang a sign on the door that was temporarily closed.
Zhao Liang asked Zhang Qianqian about it, but it can't be spread, otherwise I don't know what version of the truth will be passed on by passers-by who don't know what kind of deviation from the facts.
As soon as the door was closed, Rong Bao Zhai, which was full of antiques, immediately became much darker.
Zhang Qianqian, who was a little dazed, stood silently beside her father, bowed her head slightly to avoid Zhao Liang's gaze, and rolled the corners of her clothes with her hands while staring at her tiptoes.
"Zhang Qianqian, did you buy a foreigner's string in the foreigner's shop by the Desheng Bridge in Panlongjiang before the Chinese New Year?" Zhao Liang didn't say hello straight to the point, and asked with a little yin and yang.
"Hmm." Zhang Qianqian responded softly, and nodded lightly at the same time.
"Why did you say you bought that?" Seeing this, Zhao Liang continued to ask in a strange manner.
Before the words came out, before Zhang Qianqian could answer, Mu Qingming couldn't listen anymore, suddenly slapped the table and stood up, pointed at Zhao Liang with horizontal eyebrows, and scolded: "Zhao Liang, you give me enough to stop; If you ask about things, you will ask about things, what does yin and yang mean? ”。
Zhang Qianqian was stunned for a moment, glanced at the excited Mu Qingming and hurriedly lowered her head, and a warm current appeared in her heart; If it weren't for Mu Qingming, who was also considered an enemy of her Immortal Dao, Zhang Qianqian would really be a little moved.
As everyone knows, Mu Qingming came forward because he is now Rong Baozhai's partner, and it is his duty to maintain the owner, not to mention that Shopkeeper Zhang and Zhang Qianqian were not thin on him in the past; The second is because he doesn't believe that Zhang Qianqian, who he saw, has the ability to plan a flawless murder.
Zhao Liang was not afraid when he saw Mu Qingming's anxious eyes, regardless of Mu Qingming, he continued to look directly at Zhang Qianqian, and shouted: "Tell me why you bought that thing?" ”。
"My piano strings broke, so I bought one and replaced it." Zhang Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and then replied in a trembling voice.
"How do you prove it?" Zhao Liang asked reluctantly.
"The official can go with the little woman to have a look, and the purchase is really for exchange." Zhang Qianqian hurriedly returned, and a few drops of hot sweat oozed from her forehead.
"yes, yes, I can prove it." Shopkeeper Zhang, who was even more anxious than her, wiped the hot sweat on his face and forehead with his cuffs, and said to Zhao Liang urgently: "I remember more than a month ago, the little girl did buy a string and I helped replace it." ”。
"Take me to see it." Zhao Liang stood up suddenly.
Shopkeeper Zhang and Zhang Qianqian didn't shirk it, and hurriedly led Zhao Liang to the house behind the store. Mu Qingming also put away his slight anger and followed.
followed Zhang Qianqian to her boudoir, and saw that the room was full of foreigners' homes, from dressers to beds, to curtains, tables and chairs, as well as teacups and other things on the table, all of which were foreigners' brands.
It's just that as soon as he entered the house, Mu Qingming felt a trace of a cold breath that seemed to be absent. He frowned slightly, and was about to take a closer look, but the breath disappeared out of thin air.
Mu Qingming didn't squeak, but just hid the doubt in his heart and stood aside casually.
Under the window of the house is a piano, all made of mahogany, all hand-carved. Two lifelike angels are carved directly above the piano, surrounded by two layers of ornate lace.
Zhang Qianqian walked to the piano, opened the lid, and beckoned to Zhao Liang: "Please be clear." ”。
Zhao Liang strode over, Mu Qingming and Shopkeeper Zhang also followed, and after the three of them stood still by the piano, they all looked under the open lid, and saw that there were three groups of strings densely arranged inside.
Zhang Qianqian pointed to one of the brand-new steel wire bare strings and told Zhao Liangdao: "I remember that this one was broken at that time, and I could only buy a brand new string and replace it." ”。
Zhao Liang looked closely, the string was exactly the same as the one that strangled Wu's mother, and it was a special steel wire with good strength and toughness.
And there are a lot of such strings under the lid, but the others are a little old and not shiny, but this one is bright, and it has only been replaced for a short time at a glance.
While he was looking and thinking carefully, Zhang Qianqian went to get a small box under his bed, opened it, took out a broken string from it, handed it to Zhao Liang and said urgently: "Look, official, this is the broken string that has been replaced." ”。
Zhao Liang was stunned for a moment, and the total evidence showed that Zhang Qianqian did buy new strings, but she did not send the strings that strangled Wu's mother; Zhao Liang, who thought that he had locked on the target and walked out of doubt, fell into doubt again at this time.
There are not many people who buy this kind of thing, and there are only a few people who bought strings in Kunming City before Wu's mother died, Zhang Qianqian is the last one known to Zhao Liang now; But the evidence is conclusive, Zhang Qianqian really bought this string to replace her broken string. The others Zhao Liang also checked one by one, and they all changed the strings. All at once, all the clues were broken again.
"Apologize." Mu Qing looked at the pensive Zhao Liang with a smile, bumped Zhao Liang's arm with his elbow, and urged, "Hurry up." ”。
"I'm sorry." Zhao Liang, who reacted, hurriedly fulfilled his promise, stood up to Zhang Qianqian and the shopkeeper, slowly bent down, and saluted sincerely.
Shopkeeper Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was good for his daughter to clear her grievances, how dare she let the person wearing the official hat salute herself, and quickly helped Zhao Liang up and said repeatedly: "It's good to figure it out, it's good to figure it out." ”。
Zhang Qianqian also pretended to be relieved, but she secretly sneered in her heart. She had broken the string on purpose, and then went to buy a new one and put it on; The reason why she did this kind of thing of taking off her pants and farting was because she knew that once Zhao Liang and Mu Qingming realized that Mother Wu was killed by him, they would definitely check down the strings.
Although the strings that killed Wu's mother were stolen by her disciples from foreigners' shops in other provinces, no matter how much they checked, they couldn't find themselves and their disciples, but in order to make Mu Qingming and Zhao Liang find some trouble, they were even more puzzled, so they decided to stage such a play.
In this way, when the clues of Mu Qingming and Zhao Liang can be disturbed, it also makes these two people trust her even more in their hearts; The identity of the eldest sister of Changshengdao will naturally be more difficult to expose, and it can also ensure the safety of Lao Li, who is undercover in the provincial police department.
Today's play came to an end, and the purpose of acting was achieved, Zhang Qianqian was naturally triumphant. But he only dared to be secretly proud, and his face was still relieved and lightly happy.
Then Mu Qingming and the shopkeeper Zhang sent Zhao Liang back to the store, Mu Qingming patted Zhao Liang on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "You kid will confirm it next time." Fortunately, my shopkeeper and his daughter are innocent and easy-going; If they were really wicked people, wouldn't they be a surprise to the snake? ”。
said so, but he was still haunted by the fleeting coldness in Zhang Qianqian's room. That kind of cold can only appear in two places, the first is where the evil people have performed their evil magic, and the other is where there are ghosts.
How could there be such a cold in Zhang Qianqian's boudoir? Mu Qingming was very curious.
Zhao Liang nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile: "What Brother Mu said is that I will definitely pay attention to it in the future." ”。 After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Shopkeeper Zhang, and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang, I'm causing trouble to you." ”。
The honestly frightened shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand and said politely: "Inspector Zhao is serious, serious." ”。
The three of them said a few more polite words, Mu Qingming took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and when it was time for him to get off work, he said to the shopkeeper: "It's not too early, I'll go back first, and send Inspector Zhao out by the way." ”。
Shopkeeper Zhang had no objection, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, you can go home and rest after sending Inspector Zhao for me." ”。
So saying, he walked to the back of the gate and opened them to them.
As soon as the door opened, I heard a noise outside the house, and when I looked out of the door, I saw many people going north together, and some of them were still running and telling each other: "Hurry up, hurry up, there is a well on the side of the Fuzepu that is bleeding." ”。
