"In the final analysis, I also stay on feelings and speculations, Yao Yonglin was killed with a little more information, like Wang Haiyi, I also have a black eye when I encounter it."

Song Ning thought of the "little yellow flower" she had just pasted at the door, Lei Song couldn't find it, and neither could she, Song Ning.

With such a few clues, it was useless for her to even open the coffin, thirteen years have passed, leaving a pile of white bones for her, and she can't see valuable information with the naked eye.

"My lord, do you want to open the coffin?" Lu Qingqing asked her, and Song Ning said, "Check first, let's open the coffin when it's okay." ”

Song Ning asked as he walked, "How tall are the two deceased?" ”

Dabao replied: "It's not tall, it's about five feet six inches." Yao Yonglin is better, Su Qiang is thin and small. ”

"What kind of furniture shop does he work in? Take us to see it. ”

Dabao should be, just east of the city.

Everyone went to Zheng Kee's furniture shop. The shop is custom-made for furniture, and the smell of varnish and trees hits your face as soon as you enter.

The guy recognized Song Ning at a glance, and hurriedly greeted her into the door, knowing without asking, it must be for their master Yao Yonglin who died.

"The masters who do things are all in the backyard." The guy led them to the backyard. Today's weather is good, everyone is working in the open yard, all kinds of planks, all kinds of different procedures, some people are planing wood, wood flowers are flying, some people are punching, clanging and smashing.

There were six masters in the courtyard, all of whom were men, and they all stopped their work and looked at them when they came in.

"This is Lord Xiao Song." Dude said.

Everyone was shocked: "Does Lord Xiao Song still investigate the case in person?" ”

"The villain greets Lord Song!" Everyone came up to salute in a hurry and looked at Song Ning curiously.

Song Ning greeted with a smile and asked, "The Holy Admiral pointed out to me the case of Yao Yonglin's murder, where does he usually work, and does he have a fixed station?" ”

"My lord, we don't have a fixed station, but his tools are still there." The guy went to the room and brought out Yao Yonglin's tool basket, which contained a lot of things, "When the weather is fine, everyone will carry the planer into the yard, and if it is not good, everyone will do things in the room." ”

Carpentry work, one day's planing cabinet surface and tomorrow's chair legs, is not a static job.

The guy put the tool basket at the door, Song Ning looked at it, she couldn't understand many tools, flipped it casually, and looked at other masters, and found that there was a parked owner in the room, she pondered for a moment and asked, "Is it a master with a basket of tools?" ”

The man should be, pointing to the name written with a brush on the side of the basket: "There are all names." ”

Song Ning squatted down and compared another bamboo basket with a vague name written on it, counted the pieces, and counted the other masters, everyone didn't understand what she was looking for, and they all surrounded her to help fiddle.

After a while, Song Ning finished counting and asked the young man: "Are there not many tools?" Master Yao had fifty-six pieces in the basket, and other masters had fifty-eight pieces. ”

The guy realized that Song Ning was counting, and replied with a smile: "No, everyone's tools are equipped in the shop, and they are changed once every three years. Because everything has to be used, everyone will not lack tools. ”

He said he counted it himself.

Then he said with a sigh: "It's something missing." He flipped through another basket next door and said, "There are two more in Master Jiao's basket, this one should be Master Yao's, maybe I put it wrong when I cleaned it up." ”

Several other masters came up to help him identify it, and confirmed: "This is indeed Master Yao's, and his wooden handle is engraved with marks." ”

Song Ning watched them discuss, looking at other people's tools. A carpenter's knife and axe are just like a soldier's knife, and his own knife will be easy to use after a long time, but others are not used to it.

So craftsmen care a lot about the configuration of these tools.

Song Ning pointed to another basket and asked the young man, "In addition to Master Yao, is there any master who didn't come today?" ”

"Yes. Master Jiao said the day before yesterday that Tongzhou's cousin was seriously ill, and he would go to see it for two or three days. "Dude.

Song Ning nodded and asked everyone with a smile: "How is Master Yao usually a person?" There is no need for the deceased to be the greatest, and to speak freely, and to say what you feel is inappropriate, it may be able to help us find useful clues. ”

Everyone, look at me, I'll look at you, the master on the left hesitated for a moment, and said: "There is really nothing wrong with him, he is sometimes good at handicraft and likes to point fingers." Actually, it's not a big deal, and it's for our good. ”

"It's really for our good, sometimes he talks too much, just like we're also his apprentices." Another master said with a red face.

Everyone nodded: "It's true." Except for this, we can't say anything bad about him. ”

"Did he ever quarrel with anyone?" Song Ning asked.

Everyone shook their heads, saying they didn't remember, and the young man said, "Oh, Master Yao and Master Jiao used to quarrel a lot, and they almost started after the New Year this year." ”

"Oh, yes, I did do it, but Jiao Yun is not unforgiving, this matter is over. Your Excellency, you don't suspect that the murderer is us, do you? A master said.

Song Ning asked him, "What do you call it?" ”

"Don't dare to be you, the villain's surname is Zhang, and his name is Qiyi."

Song Ning nodded and replied: "It's not that it's doubtful, but it's not that it's not suspicious, the yamen is like this when investigating cases, and it's going to be investigated with a skeptical attitude, right!" ”

"Yes, yes, my lord, what you said makes sense, everyone should be suspicious, and then solve these suspicions, and the last person who is still suspicious may be the murderer." Another Wang master said.

Song Ning laughed and said, "Yes, yes, everyone is a knowledgeable person." ”

"Isn't this all the law popular, although we dare not say that we know the law, but we all know about breaking the law."

"The popularization of law was pushed by Lord Xiao Song, and Lord Xiao Song is a good official."

Song Ning accepted everyone's compliments, dragged the topic back, and asked, "How is Master Jiao Yunjiao usually speaking?" ”

Everyone didn't think much about it, Song Ning said just now, she reasonably doubted everyone, Zhang Qiyi replied: "Jiao Yun is a good man, he rushes to pay for drinking and eating, and he also does a lot of work." ”

"My lord, we old brothers have been here since we were apprentices, and we have been here for at least twelve years since we were teenagers. I spend more time with my daughter-in-law than I do with my daughter-in-law. ”

Everyone laughed, and said sincerely: "Yes." Although we also had a time when we were unhappy with the quarrel, our tongues still bumped against our teeth. But no matter how angry you are, you can't kill someone. ”

Everyone nodded along with the nod.

"Who would dare to do such a thing as murder. I'm going to have to have a lot of strength to kill a pig. ”

Everyone chatted, and Dabao and Song Ning introduced in a low voice: "Zheng Ji everyone was there from morning to afternoon that day. From the shopkeeper to the buddies, they can testify to each other. ”

"Everybody?" Song Ning asked him.

Dabao nodded: "I arrived around the time of Zhang Qiyi, but he took a private job to repair the cabinet for the opposite shop, and everyone over there can testify to him." ”

"And Jiao Yun, he's a little later than everyone else, but it's not too late." Dabao said, and Master Wang heard the words that caught him, "I remember that day, we didn't know about the private work on July 1, but later the government came to check and check, and the shopkeeper quarreled with him." ”

Zhang Qiyi was a little embarrassed, and glared at Master Wang complainingly: "What's the noise, it's not noisy." He said to Song Ning again, "I just said two words." Everyone can take a little bit after work, and they don't delay the work. ”

"Yes. Jiao Yun: I guess he also took on a private job. Master Wang said, "When he came that day, his trousers were wet, and I also said that he went to hunt pigweed in the morning, but he said no." ”

Song Ning raised his eyebrows and said, "The trouser legs are wet?" Does his family live outside the city? ”

Early in the morning, the trousers were wet, and most of them were swept by dew.

"Stay in town. It is estimated that he squatted by the well and spilled water to wash his face. Master Wang said.

Song Ning continued to ask, "Didn't he go out later?" ”

"Nope! The meal we had together at noon, the pork head meat he bought and the wine I bought. "Zhang Qiyi.

Everyone responded: "I didn't sleep after eating, so I went on to do things, and I didn't dare to delay a lot of work in those days." ”

Everyone said something else, Song Ning glanced at the basket on the ground a few more times, then went out of the backyard, standing at the front door, Song Ning asked the young man: "Jiao Yun said that when will you come back?" Doesn't he have a job to do? ”

"Yes, there are also two cabinets for Zhang Xiucai's personal use, a round table and four chairs, which will be delivered on the second day of the first month of May, and he is still a lot behind, so he will not be in a hurry to deliver if he does not hurry." The man said, "If you don't come back today, you'll have to come back tomorrow, or you'll have to do this work for someone else." ”

"Do you work on a piece-rate basis?"

The young man nodded: "Yes, you pay by piece, you get more for more work." ”

"Then the competition between the masters is quite strong, right?"

The young man scratched his head and said: "It's not easy to say it in front of them, there must be contradictions, but to be honest, it's really not enough to kill people, everyone's money difference in a month is only tens of hundreds of dollars, less this month and more next month, most of them are about the same." ”

Song Ning bowed his head: "Help me pay attention, if there is any doubt, I will go back and forth, once it is useful, the government will be rewarded." ”

The lad should be.

"Where does Jiao Yun's family live?"

The young man replied: "There is a dam street next to the east city gate, the seventh house in the street, and his name is hung on the door of his house. ”

"Does he have a family?"

"Yes, he lives with Aunt Jiao, the two sons are married, one goes to Baoding to work, and the other lives behind his house, not far away." The guy said, "It's okay for adults to go, Aunt Jiao is not in good health, she usually doesn't go out, you must have someone at home." ”

Song Ning walked a few steps and suddenly turned around and asked, "Do Jiao Yun know Wang Haiyi, who is selling paintings at a stall on Ma'an Street?" ”

"This Lei Catcher asked, we haven't seen Wang Haiyi and Master Jiao walk around anyway."

Song Ning bowed: "Thank you." ”

When they came out, Tang Xingye asked Song Ning: "Do you suspect that Jiao Yun killed Wang Haiyi and Yao Yonglin?" ”

"Reasonable suspicion, after all, there is no suspect, and being idle is also idle." Song Ning said.

"My lord, we actually checked. Wang Haiyi and Jiao Yun didn't know each other, at least no one had seen them move around. "Dabao Road.

"What about fishing? Didn't you say that Wang Haiyi likes fishing in addition to painting? ”

"Jiao Yun is very busy and never fishes." Dabao Road.

Two deceased, one suspect. But a deceased and a suspect don't know each other, which means that she is blindly suspicious, Song Ning said: "Let's go, go to Jiao Yun's house to have a look." ”

"Really going? Why don't you go for a walk on Saddle Street? "Dabao Road.

"Follow your instincts!" Song Ning said.

There were two deceased: one died in the temple named Wang Haiyi, who was a painter.

One died in the field named Yao Yonglin, who was a carpenter.

Two people, one died in the morning and the other at noon.

Jiao Yun is a carpenter, and Yao Yonglin is a colleague.

There are a lot of people coming out, I'll mark it for you, haha.

The first thirteen years of the old case was pasted with a little yellow flower waiting for the bitter master to recognize it, so it will be put aside for a few days, and then picked up and continued to investigate.
