Chapter 45: Tips
At the end of the day, Xia Fan walked around the streets and alleys in Fu'an County.
As he said, he just walked around and asked, and didn't do anything else.
When he returned to the inn, Shi Xiaofei was already so tired that his legs and feet were sore, and he couldn't lift his spirits at all, because he really didn't understand, what was Xia Fan's intention to go down this time?
Is it just to get acquainted with the local customs?
"I'll go out at night, and you can stay in the inn room by yourself. ”
After dinner, Xia Fan casually mentioned a sentence.
"What, senior, are you going out at night?"
When Shi Xiaofei heard this, his spirit was shocked.
"Just get a little bit of information. Xia Fan said in a lazy tone. "There are some things that you have to find out for yourself. ”
"So the seemingly aimless wandering around Fu'an County today was actually premeditated?"
Shi Xiaofei reacted suddenly.
"It's not premeditated, because I've never liked to think things too complicated and brain-intensive. Xia Fan pointed to his head and said. "I guess I guess I made this decision on the fly. ”
"Senior, what are you going to do when you go out tonight?" Shi Xiaofei was stunned for a moment.
"Watch a show. Xia Fan said casually.
"What kind of play?" Shi Xiaofei subconsciously asked.
"What kind of drama can it be, have you forgotten the fool I fooled around in the morning?" Xia Fan said lightly.
"Senior, what do you mean......" Shi Xiaofei seemed to understand whether he understood or not.
"What's in your heart, that's what I'm going to do next. As he spoke, Xia Fan raised his head and glanced at the sky outside the window. "It's almost time, I'm ready to go, I have to watch the whole play, and it would be bad if I missed the foreplay. ”
"Senior, why can't the junior go with you?"
Seeing Xia Fan getting up and planning to leave, Shi Xiaofei hurriedly said anxiously.
"Because you're going to drag me down to watch the show!"
Xia Fan gave him a look of his own understanding, and then left without hesitation.
I'm really sorry that my martial arts are so bad!
Shi Xiaofei looked at Xia Fan's disappearing back with a resentful expression, and couldn't help but think in his heart.
Under the cover of night.
Xia Fan's figure shuttled through the streets and alleys like a ghost, and within a moment, he came to a palatial mansion.
"This should be it. ”
He looked around at the buildings around him, nodded to himself, and muttered to himself.
In fact, after visiting this day, he secretly wrote down the location of the mansions of various local powerful clans, and the owner of the mansion in front of him was the clan with the deepest local roots and heritage in Fu'an County.
Ding family.
That's right, it's the family named Dyn from.
Since the tragedy occurred one after another, the local powerful clans have worked together to investigate the murderers, and the Ding family has deservedly become the leader.
However, these days, under the leadership of the Ding family, instead of tracking down the clues of the murderer, the heroes of all ethnic groups have successfully poisoned the palace family under heavy precautions.
Therefore, the Ding family can be said to be under great pressure, so that they all went to the doctor in a hurry.
What Xia Fan said to Ding En before was not unreasonable, if they really had the clues of the murderer, how could someone with Ding En's identity personally follow them, and how could they recklessly suspect them? Just because they took a second look in front of the palace? This is too imprudent, right?
Although Xia Fan really doesn't know how to solve a criminal case, he knows that in the process of solving a case, he is the most taboo to startle the snake, but Ding En jumped out with great fanfare, doesn't this mean anything?
Under Xia Fan's persuasion, he gave the other party a hint after a general understanding of the situation.
Among them are inner demons.
This is a very normal inference.
In the early years, when Xia Fan was doing business, he had dealt with the powerful clans in this world, so he knew very well what kind of terrifying energy these powerful clans possessed in the local area, and basically their tentacles were all over all aspects of the local society.
Isn't it a joke that when all the powerful clans are twisted into a rope, they can't even find a clue of the murderer?
Xia Fan believed that even if he didn't have his own prompts, in the end, the Ding family and other powerful clans might suspect him.
He remembered the Sherlock Holmes saying that when you rule out all the impossible, the rest, no matter how unbelievable, is true.
The power of the individual is limited.
When it comes to fighting, Xia Fan can say unashamedly that all of you present are rubbish.
But when it comes to solving the case, no matter how strong Xia Fan's martial arts are, it's useless.
It's like a certain karate master in the Grim Reaper elementary school, people can be called the ceiling of force in the Grim Reaper elementary school, right? But if you want the other party to fight and subdue the murderer, it's okay to solve the case? He, like Xia Fan, is not even as good as a primary school student.
Therefore, Xia Fan could only count on the powerful local clan to find out the real culprit.
Avoid the guards in the mansion, both overtly and covertly.
Xia Fan lurked all the way to the edge of a brightly lit hall wall in the mansion.
There is no way, there are so many lights at night, it is difficult for people not to pay attention.
At this moment.
The hall was filled with people large and small.
And Ding En stood beside the empty lord seat with a serious face, staring coldly at the heads of the families in front of him.
"Virtuous nephew, I don't know why Ling Zun summoned us in such a hurry tonight?"
On the seat in front of his left hand, a middle-aged man dressed in brocade and a little rich looked like he took a sip of tea on the table.
"Actually, tonight it was the juniors who summoned the elders on behalf of the family, and here, the juniors have made amends to the elders first!"
As he spoke, Dynn bowed to the crowd.
"Virtuous nephew, the old man knows that you have always been polite, and he will definitely not violate the etiquette law and suddenly summon us for no reason. ”
On the right-hand side, an old man dressed as a Confucian said in a calm tone.
"Xue Lao saw it clearly, because the juniors did have an important thing to inform the elders. ”
Dynn is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Dare to ask the virtuous nephew, but the matter about the murderer has been settled?"
A graceful and luxurious middle-aged woman said in a flat tone.
"That's right! Because the juniors did find a suspicious person, but the juniors can't now determine whether the other party is the real culprit of the murder! Therefore, the juniors have summoned all the elders to come this time, and the purpose is to witness one thing together......
After saying this, Dynne quietly observed every reaction of the people present.
"He, is he the real murderer suspected by the younger generation!"
"What, do you suspect that the murderer is among us?"
The rich middle-aged man in the front position of his left hand instantly exclaimed.
Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but look nervous.
"Nephew, are you really sure that the murderer is between us?"
A middle-aged man with a gloomy face suddenly asked.
That's why I need the testimony of my elders. ”
After saying that, Ding En suddenly drew his long sword and pointed at a person.
"The murderer suspected by the younger generation is him!"
