The three of them left Xie Yao's house in a fight, bought a few buns on the street, and discussed the case while walking.

"From this point of view, everyone in the restaurant has the possibility of committing crimes, vendettas? Money killing?"

"Money kills...... Not quite like that. Xie Yao shook his head, "Now I think back to everything in the restaurant, it is so clean, although the drawers have been swept clean, but the other drawers are almost not opened, if it is a financial killing, the murderer will inevitably rummage through good things, or the murderer knows where the money is, this knows, it may be relatives and friends, or it may be the second child who reported the crime, but ...... It doesn't make sense. ”

Liu Zhongyuan thought thoughtfully, "Indeed, it doesn't make sense, for the sake of money, why didn't you take away other valuable things in the house?" The ancient inkstone of the thousand gold, the teacup, and the jade pendant on the shopkeeper's body. ”

The two of them immediately widened and looked at him in unison.

Liu Zhongyuan coughed dryly, a little embarrassed, and said, "Don't look at me like this......

The weird hairy one gave him the illusion that he was going to be beaten to the ground in the next moment.

Xie Yao said, "Qianjin Ancient Inkstone?"

Liu Zhongkui also stared at him, "Teacup? Jade pendant?"

"I can't see it, tell me, what kind of golden method? Why can't Zhongkui and I see it! ”

Liu Zhongyuan, "......"

He stubbornly said, "The inkstone on the case was used by the great poet Liu Lian, called the Sixiang inkstone, I don't know the meaning of this name, but this inkstone, I did see it in the book, it is the "Eighteen Records of the Folk", when I went last night, I noticed the inkstone, the price seems to have reached more than three thousand taels now, and the teacup poured on the table was from the official kiln seven years ago, a complete set should be more than eight hundred taels when bought, and only ten sets were produced at the beginning, and it is said that all of them were offered to the palace, and the jade pendant ......"

Xie Yao continued, "The jade pendant is made of jade from Sui Yu Pavilion. ”

Sui Yuge is a well-known jade shop nearby, the shop is famous and the price is high, even if Xie Rao doesn't know the goods, he also knows common sense, so a precious piece of jade pendant is clearly worn on the body, if it is really a wealth killing? Can you be more illiterate than Xie Rao, a person in the market?

Money killing, it doesn't make sense.

"In fact, the most precious thing is the black-nosed pot in his house, which is placed next to the Sixiang inkstone, it is an old thing, I heard that the last time it appeared, it seems to be more than ten years ago, and I don't know if it's specific."

"How much is it worth?"

"It's hard to estimate, the last time someone bid was more than two thousand taels, and I didn't buy it."

Ho!

Xie Yao and Liu Zhongkui suddenly gasped.

She said, "According to Zhongyuan, the shopkeeper of this restaurant is too rich, inkstones, teacups, jade pendants...... Is it so profitable to open a restaurant? ”

The three of them don't know much about business, and this matter has passed so-so, and the three of them have now ruled out the possibility that the restaurant shopkeeper was killed by Cai, so his biggest possibility is vendetta.

The three of them were not reckless nerds, so they immediately went back to the county government to report the situation, and the yamen catcher each brought someone to secretly monitor the people related to the restaurant shopkeeper.

Wang Xiuhua, the parent official of Cangxian County, asked people to get the list of more than a dozen pharmacies in Cangxian County that had purchased arsenic in the past half a month, and arranged for people to check it in turn. Xie Yao and the Liu brothers were not idle, and with another good catcher from the county government, the four of them visited all the pharmacies at two ends and asked about the recent sale of dansha.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant did not struggle too much, indicating that there is a large amount of Ming Xiao mixed in the tea, Ming Xiao is not something sold in the pharmacy, Ming Xiao needs Dansha to extract, and a large number of Ming Xiao needs a large amount of Dansha, in Cangxian County, one or two Dansha and one or two silver, by no means ordinary people can buy in large quantities.

At dusk, Xie Yao and Liu Zhongkui walked out of the last pharmacy in West Lane without a clue.

The summer was so hot that the two walked for a day under the scorching sun, and at this time they were sweating and panting to find a cool place to rest.

Ren is enthusiastic again, and he was also wilted by the poisonous sun.

"I don't know what the situation is on your brother's side, is there any clue......

Liu Zhongkui comforted her and said, "If you can't find it, there is no way, those of us who do fast arrests, a few of us can really solve the case, we are usually busy arresting people, I am naturally happy that the case can be solved, and there is no way to solve it." ”

Xie Yao listened to what he said and nodded, but in his heart he was not very reconciled, leaned against a pillar, and said, "I know, but I am ......" She sighed, "It's like I'm eating on the road, eating, and a person comes over, and suddenly overturns my table, and then the boss comes over and says it's okay, he can make me a bowl again, and then I sat down and watched the person who lifted the table swaggering to lift someone else's table." ”

Liu Zhongkui didn't understand for a while.

"I don't know what's wrong with me, I saw him kill people like this, and then quietly sneaked into the dark to hide, I just wanted to find him, I looked at me uncomfortable, I wanted to rush up, press the person who lifted the table, handcuff him, and take him back to the county government to teach him a hard lesson."

Xie Yao looked at Liu Zhongkui seriously and expectantly.

Liu Zhongkui finally ...... Vaguely...... I probably got it a little bit.

He looked at her dumbfounded and asked, "Grandma, don't you want to be the master of the blue sky?" He looked left and right, and there was no one beside him, so he said with confidence, "If you let Uncle Wang know, you have to skin you." ”

The wife of the county official Wang Xiuhua, Huan, is a distant relative of the Liu family's brother's mother, so in private, all three of them call him Uncle Wang.

Xie Yao, "!! ”

Xie Yao just wants to beat him up at the moment!

The two were resting their feet, and the sound of horses' hooves came from the avenue, and the two looked at each other at the same time, and immediately Liu Zhongyuan and Ding Wen, who was from the same yamen, looked hurried and galloped.

The two hurriedly got up, and in an instant, the two of them had arrived, Xie Yao hurriedly asked, "Is there a clue?" ”

Liu Zhongyuan nodded and said, "The Li family pharmacy in Dongxiang said that in addition to the daily rouge shop, ten days ago, someone bought a lot of dansha from him, and the name is unknown. ”

Ding Wen handed the drawings to Xie Yao.

Xie Yao took a look and saw that the man in the painting was about thirty or forty years old, with two beards, slightly thin facial features, but hard and angular, and a pair of big eyes.

"Let's go! Go back to the county government and talk while walking! ”

When the four of them rushed back to the county office, it was already dark, and the county ordered Wang Xiuhua to work all day, just serving the dishes and chopsticks, and the county government said that they had found new clues, so they simply didn't eat, put the dishes and chopsticks and went straight to the county office.

Since he had a picture of the appearance of the suspect, Wang Xiuhua immediately found someone to reproduce the portrait overnight, and sent people to post it everywhere at dawn the next morning.

The official bell bell shouted in the official column of the official mansion, "Cangxian Yamen's new notice, the man painted is an important informant in the murder case of Cangxian Spring Restaurant, if anyone can provide clues, reward two taels of silver!" ”

"Let's come and take a look, the new notice of Cangxian Yamen ......"
