"Oh, Chen Yuanwai, I naturally know him, I have had a few business dealings with him, and I have been to his house a few times, but I have no deep friendship", Du Zhongyao nodded and replied.

The corners of Nie Xiaohu's mouth raised slightly, changed the topic, and then asked, "Boss Du, how is your business lately?" ”

"Thanks to the adult, business has been so-so recently, and it's okay."

"Really? How did I hear that you have been a little tight on funds in the past six months? Nie Xiaohu seemed to be casually looking at the furnishings in the room, but the expression on Du Zhongyao's face never left his sight for a moment.

"Oh, that's the case", Du Zhongyao frowned slightly, hesitated a little and said, "I received a letter from home half a year ago, and I learned that my mother was seriously ill and I had a business, so I had no time to take care of it, so I had to send more silver taels to my home every month for my mother's medical treatment, so I was a little nervous." ”

"So that's the case", Nie Xiaohu nodded, "Boss Du is still a filial person, admirable!" ”

"I dare not be filial piety, as a son of man, it is natural to do some filial piety!" , Du Zhongyao said with a slight smile.

"Boss Du is still a person who knows the rhythm of music! It's really Yaxing! ", Nie Xiaohu said as he looked at a guqin placed in the corner of the room.

"Where, my lord praised it falsely!" , Du Zhongyao shook his head with a smile, "It's just playing casually when I'm bored, I can't talk about the rhythm of music!" ”

"I don't know if I can have this honor in the future, can I listen to Boss Du play a song?" , Nie Xiaohu asked with a smile.

"It's... Well, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, then you will be ugly! Du Zhongyao nodded, walked to the side of the guqin, and sat down slowly.

With Du Zhongyao's ten fingers moving lightly, the pleasant sound of the piano sounded, because the space in the house was not very large, the sound of the piano echoed in every corner of the house, Nie Xiaohu closed his eyes slightly, immersed in the sound of the piano, in addition to the sound of the piano, the noisy sound of pedestrians on the street outside was not heard at all.

About half an hour later, Cao Xiaohui came back with a middle-aged man and two people dressed as shopkeepers, and at the moment when Cao Xiaohui entered the door, Du Zhongyao stopped playing, and gently pressed the strings with both hands, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

"Brother Hu, I've been to that Wang's wine shop, it's just around the corner of this street, and he did go to buy wine around midnight the night before yesterday; There is also the Fujude Restaurant, I have also checked, he did order a dish there the night before yesterday, it was delivered at night, and I brought back the two shopkeepers", Cao Xiaohui said, and glanced at Du Zhongyao who was sitting next to the piano by the way.

Nie Xiaohu nodded, frowning slightly.

As soon as Cao Xiaohui's words fell, a smug smile suddenly flashed on Du Zhongyao's face, and the smile flashed away, but it couldn't escape Nie Xiaohu's eyes, and Nie Xiaohu couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

"What's your name?" , Nie Xiaohu looked at the man in front of him and asked.

"Back to the adult, the villain's name is Shen Xianlin, he lives in Luobin District, and he is engaged in the mountain goods business", Shen Xianlin hurriedly bowed down and replied.

"There's a guy named Jiang Tinghan, do you know him?"

"I don't know", Shen Xianlin shook his head slightly.

"Where were you from noon the day before yesterday until yesterday morning?"

"The day before yesterday?" , Shen Xianlin recalled a little and said, "The day before yesterday, because I had just finished a deal with Brother Du, I celebrated with him here, and we drank wine at noon until the afternoon. ”

"And then?"

"Then we all got drunk, and we went to sleep, and slept until the night."

"When did you wake up?"

"I don't know much about this," Shen Xianlin said with a slight frown.

"Anyway, when I woke up, it was night, Brother Du also woke up, he woke up before me, said that the dishes were ordered in the Fujude Restaurant, and they were sent over, and then not long after, Brother Du went out to go to the toilet, at that time I vaguely heard the sound of bangs outside, and I heard the husband shouting, 'Hai Shi Yichang, close the door and close the window, anti-theft and anti-theft', I should have woken up close to Hai."

"And then?" , Nie Xiaohu then asked.

"Brother Du came back after going to the toilet, and after a while, that is, the time of a pillar of incense, there was a shopkeeper who sent the dishes, and after Brother Du put the dishes on the table, he went out to buy two pots of wine, so we drank a few glasses and drank until the ugly time before falling asleep.

By the way, when we were drinking, Brother Du also played a song for me, Brother Du's piano skills are really amazing, it can be said that the aftermath lingers, three days endlessly! ”

After Shen Xianlin finished speaking, he closed his eyes slightly, as if he was still reminiscing about the sound of the piano at that time.

"It's just a little bit bad!" , Shen Xianlin continued.

"Which point?" , Nie Xiaohu asked next.

"When Brother Du was playing the piano, there seemed to be wild dogs fighting outside, and the barking was very loud, which disturbed my interest in listening to the piano!"

Nie Xiaohu frowned, and after thinking hard for a while, he sighed slightly, and turned his head to look at the two shopkeepers who were standing side by side.

"Where are you?" , Nie Xiaohu looked at the shopkeeper on the left and asked.

"Back to the adult, the small one is from the Wang family's wine shop!"

"Boss Du went to you to buy wine the night before yesterday?"

"Yes, Boss Du went to buy two pots of wine, and I gave him wine!"

"What hour?"

"It's just past time."

"Are you not mistaken?"

"Can't be wrong! At that time, I had just beaten Bangzi, and I remember it very clearly! ”

"Hmm", Nie Xiaohu nodded, and then looked at the other shopkeeper.

"You're from Juford Restaurant?"

"Back to the adults, the small ones are the ones who run the hall in Jufu!" , the shopkeeper nodded busily and replied.

"The night before yesterday, did Boss Du order food from you?"

"Yes, Boss Du ordered five dishes, three hot dishes, and two cold dishes, and asked us to send them over at night, and the dishes were delivered by me!"

"And when did you bring the food over?"

"Just after the hour, our restaurant has the most important reputation, and we will never miss the time!" , the shopkeeper said with a smiling face.

Nie Xiaohu nodded, lowered his head, and pondered, but the corner of his eye was locked on Du Zhongyao's face who was sitting next to the guqin.

At this time, Du Zhongyao sat there, motionless as a mountain, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and a smug smile flashed away.

"This guy must have been prepared for a long time, and this alibi is too perfect, almost without any flaws", Nie Xiaohu thought about it and waved his hand outward.

The two shopkeepers understood and hurriedly retreated.

"What went wrong? There must be loopholes! This time I really ran into an opponent, it was challenging, I like it! ”

Nie Xiaohu thought in his heart, staring at Du Zhongyao with an expressionless face, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
