Xie Jinlan glanced at Ruan Yezhen with a slightly surprised expression, but shook his head with a light smile, and kept moving under his feet.

Ruan Yezhen saw that he didn't take his words seriously, and couldn't help but be anxious:

"Xie Jinlan, what I just said is true! You and I are just general friends, and you can't risk your life for me! ”

Xie Jinlan just glanced at her, as if he was laughing at her self-inflicted amorousness.

Ruan Yezhen's eyebrows frowned, and she regretted it very much at this moment: when she saw Xie Jinlan yesterday, why did she come forward to meet him?

As early as when Xie Jinlan entered the gate, someone went to the inner courtyard to report to Lu Renjia.

When he first heard that Xie Jinlan was coming, Lu Renjia was not surprised. But he quickly restrained his expression and asked Xie Jinlan to be welcomed to the hall.

When Lu Renjia arrived at the hall, Xie Jinlan and the others also happened to be outside the hall.

Lu Renjia immediately smiled: "Lord Xie, you and I are really destined." Inside please! ”

After taking his seat, Lu Renjia didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "Lord Xie came here this time, but because of that murder?" ”

Xie Jinlan smiled lightly: "That's right. Can Lord Lu gain anything? ”

Lu Renjia sighed softly, shook his head and said, "The identity of the deceased is unknown, and the murderer is not for money. It's really hard to get started. ”

Xie Jinlan raised his eyebrows and pondered, and said after a while: "What Lord Lu asked people to investigate yesterday has a result?" Who did the deceased have a dispute with during his lifetime? ”

Lu Renjia said: "There are two ......"

From Lu Renjia's mouth, Xie Jinlan learned that the two were Zhang Xi, a scholar who lived in the lower room of the Kazama Inn. and Aunt Meng, who sells pork on Yanxi Street.

Zhang Xi looks like a weak scholar, but he is a little cynical, and he is most disgusted with those rich people who spend a lot of money on weekdays.

Therefore, the deceased's high-profile behavior of showing off his wealth made him not only say it behind his back, but also sneered at him in front of the deceased.

But the dead never bothered to take care of him.

And the deceased's behavior angered Zhang Xi even more. In those days, he often talked in the inn, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.

Zhang Xi has lived at the Kazama Inn for several months, and many of his regulars know him as a person. He has a very serious hatred of the rich.

In the final analysis, it's just because he comes from a poor family and doesn't have much ability, but his heart is higher than the sky.

As for Aunt Meng, who sells pork on the street, the neighbors all know that she is very generous, and she often gives a few taels more pork.

In addition, her pork is really delicious, so business is always good.

But just two days ago, the deceased uncovered her trick of missing two pounds.

At that time, the onlookers suddenly realized, no wonder she is so generous on weekdays, and she dares to give less in the first place!

At that moment, the people who had planned to buy her pork suddenly changed their minds and turned to buy it elsewhere.

Aunt Meng saw that the business was ruined, so she was so angry that she scolded:

"The old lady sells her own pork, what's in your way? You're a rich man, what are you doing with this nosy? Be careful that one day you don't even know how you died! ”

The onlookers all saw that when she said this, her face was full of resentment, as if she meant something......

Xie Jinlan tapped his finger on the coffee table, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "This official believes that the reasons of these two people are not enough to constitute a motive for killing. ”

Lu Renjia agreed: "Not bad! That Zhang Xi didn't just look down on the deceased, but he did the same for anyone who made a generous move. And Aunt Meng is very straightforward, and if she has any grudges or grudges, she will report them directly on the spot. ”

Xie Jinlan said: "The deceased is unrecognizable, which shows that the murderer has a great grudge against the deceased. But the deceased is a stranger, with whom would he have such a deep hatred? Unless ......"

Lu Renjia asked, "Unless what?" ”

Xie Jinlan pointed his fingers, raised his eyes and looked at Lu Renjia fixedly:

"Unless, this is not the first time the deceased has been here, or rather, the deceased is a local. The murderer knows who the deceased is! ”

Lu Renjia stood up directly in surprise, but after thinking about it, he felt that Xie Jinlan was reasonable, so he frowned and said:

"But now, the deceased is unrecognizable, and we can't let the people identify her through the portrait."

Xie Jinlan said: "Lord Lu can verify the identity of the deceased from the side. ”

Lu Renjia asked, "What does Master Xie mean?" ”

Xie Jinlan said with a smile: "The deceased's outfit can be in the yamen now?" ”

Lu Renjia instantly understood what he meant, and stroked his palm: "It's the official's limitations." ”

Then he shouted outside the door: "Someone! ”

In an instant, a belt of knives and catchers came quickly, and arched his hand: "What do you command?" ”

Lu Renjia said: "Go and get the evidence they found on the mountain that day, as well as the clothes left by the deceased at the Kazama Inn." ”

Catch quickly and retreat.

Xie Jinlan said again: "However, the official guesses that it is extremely unlikely that the identity of the deceased can be derived from it. ”

Lu Renjia was suddenly surprised: "Why did Lord Xie say this?" ”

Xie Jinlan said: "The deceased is unrecognizable, in addition to the murderer's anger, there is also a possibility, which is to hide the identity of the deceased. Perhaps, once the identity of the deceased is revealed, it is very likely that the murderer will be implicated. ”

Lu Renjia bowed slightly: "If it is really as Lord Xie guessed, then the murderer must have already erased the objects that can prove the identity of the deceased." ”

Although he was mentally prepared, when he really got nothing, Lu Renjia couldn't help but be disappointed: "It seems that we can only start from other aspects." ”

Then he looked at Xie Jinlan: "What is the best plan for Lord Xie?" ”

Xie Jinlan smiled faintly: "Doesn't Lord Lu have a countermeasure in his heart?" Why bother? ”

Lu Renjia laughed a few times, and then said, "Lord Xie has good eyesight." Early this morning, the official had already asked Jiang Zhutou to investigate the traces of the deceased on the day before his death. ”

He never thought that Xie Jinlan would see that he was deliberately clumsy, but he was a character.

Xie Jinlan got up and said, "In this way, the official will leave first and wait for Lord Lu's good news." ”

Lu Renjia didn't keep it, and directly called his subordinates to send Xie Jinlan's master and servant out of the house.

The two of them didn't go anywhere else, and went straight back to the Kazama Inn.

After returning to the room, Xie Jinlan asked Mo Yan to call Xiao Er to prepare a pot of good wine and some snacks.

After Xiao Er put the wine and appetizers on the table, Xie Jinlan opened his mouth and called him.

Xiao Er turned around and asked with a smile, "What else does the guest officer have to order?" ”

Xie Jinlan seemed to just ask casually: "I heard that the person who lived diagonally opposite me before died?" ”

Xiao Er's eyes fluttered, and he immediately hesitated: "This ......"

Xie Jinlan gave Mo Yan a look, Mo Yan suddenly understood, took out five taels of silver from his arms and threw them into Xiao Er's arms, and said with a smile:

"My son-in-law doesn't mean anything else, he's just a little curious. Little second brother, if you know anything, just say it. Neither of us is a talkative person, and we will never say anything outside and ruin the business of your inn. ”
