Chapter 51: The Vigil

Not noticing Cui Qing's little face, which turned white in a flash, Lu Liang handed the black piece of iron found from the bedroom to Cui Mian.

Cui Mian took it suspiciously: "This is ....... Langya Lingtie's armor? Where did Lu Cailang find this kind of thing. ”

Listening to Lu Liang and Master Chen explain the matter in detail, Cui Mian took the armor piece and fell into deep thought. Zuo Yuntang on the side was very graceless and poked Fan Shuqing with his elbow and said, "General Fan, look, I'll just say it, you must be remembered." I've been induced so many times before, and now a Langya Lingtie armor piece has come out, obviously it's still adding weight to you, to put it bluntly, this is clearly coming to Yang Mou to make us doubt you. ”

Fan Shuqing didn't reply, but her hand holding the whip had already turned a little cyan due to overexertion, and it was obvious that her heart was not as calm as she appeared.

No matter how much Ling Taiwei and everyone present trusted her, and they all knew that this was likely to frame her, but when suspicion pointed at her again and again, the seed of suspicion had already been planted.

"Okay, please ask Lu Cailang to wait for me here, I'm going to go to the bedroom to take a look, something is not right." Cui Mian closed the record handed to her by Master Chen, and walked to the hut first.

The hut is still very clean, but there are more shallow mud footprints because of the entry and exit of Lu Liang, Chen and others.

Like Master Chen, Cui Mian frowned when he saw the bedroom with such an abrupt painting style appear in the cabin. He asked, "Xiaoquanzi, did the door of the bedroom be opened when you came in?" ”

Xiao Quanzi, who was called over and followed, and Xiao Quanzi, who was still weak in his legs, stood up tremblingly when he heard this, and said, "Go back to Cui Sicheng, no, the door of the bedroom was half-hidden when I came in to change my clothes." I didn't stand still when I was wearing my pants, I accidentally fell on the door, and then I saw what it looked like inside. ”

Cui Mian opened the record book and looked at the line on it, "The seventh household in District A, no abnormality, Zhao Ying" and asked casually: "How many people did Master Zhao bring when he inspected District A?" ”

Master Chen thought for a moment and replied: "I brought the dead, one is a director, and three are straight." ”

"Call them over." Cui Mian approached the bedroom and stared at the half-smelling corpse and studied it.

After a while, Master Chen, who had just looked as usual, walked back with a blushing face, looked at Cui Mian, took a deep breath and said, "Sicheng, those three Si Zhi and a name ...... They all died in the inn. ”

Cui Mian nodded and said, "It's not surprising." But Master Chen, you also have an old friendship with Master Zhao and her reporters for more than ten years. ”

Master Chen nodded, and said in a somewhat difficult tone: "Exactly, Master Zhao and I are both disciples of Dr. Guanglu and Cui Shaoqing of the former Dali Temple. ”

Reaching out and pinching the broken part of the corpse's bones, Cui Mian said as if chatting: "Then you don't recognize that the font of those pages of records is neither from Master Zhao's book nor from her records?" ”

Master Chen's face changed instantly, and then his face was full of grievances, and he couldn't say a complete sentence on his lips, Cui Mian wiped his hands with a smile when he saw this, stepped forward and patted her shoulder gently: "Don't worry, you have been with me for so many years, I still don't know your temperament, and I suspect that no one will doubt you." This time, I just want to point out to you, don't be so careless next time. ”

Master Chen, as if he had been amnestied, saluted again and again and said: "This time it is the fault of the lower officials, and the lower officials must pay more attention in the future, thank you for the forgiveness of the temple." ”

"Okay, the deceased is at least a sea realm, the time of death of your corpse is wrong, let's clean this up again." Cui Mian smiled, and walked out of the hut with his hands and feet on his back.

After walking away, Zuo Yuntang, who had been following her, lowered his voice and asked, "Cui Sicheng believes her words so much?" ”

"Of course not." The smile on Cui Mian's face had dissipated, and he looked back at Master Chen, who was busy in the hut, and said: "She is not Sister Chen at all, Sister Chen never said anything about the lower official when she admitted her mistake, and when she discussed the case with me, she always called me Xiaomian directly, not to mention, this person's level is not worse than Sister Chen." ”

Zuo Yuntang looked at Cui Mian, and didn't know what to say for a while, judging from the current situation, Cui Mian had just arrived in Wangji Village for a day, and one of his two chief bookkeepers was killed, and the other was suspected of being replaced, it seems that this investigation is more difficult than she imagined.

While the two were talking, they walked back to the place where Fan Shuqing and Lu Liang were, Lu Liang cleared his brain and was sitting in the carriage thinking about tonight's accommodation.

Seeing Cui Mian and the others coming over, Lu Liang jumped out of the carriage and asked, "Cui Sicheng, how can we arrange accommodation tonight, this inn has not been checked yet, I am afraid that something will happen if we live in it directly." ”

"Lu Cailang, don't panic, we will stay in this inn tonight, since the murderer has been intimidating us and not letting us live in, then how can we do what they want."

Lu Liang looked at Cui Mian, and just wanted to say in his heart, it's good, but can you not let me live here, I am really a little scared when I look at the flesh and blood all over the ground.

Cui Qing on the side heard her sister's words, and wanted to refute a few words a little unwillingly, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she saw Cui Mian's glances, and her mouth opened and closed silently a few times, so she could only clench her fists and lower her head.

Cui Mian nodded with satisfaction, very good, this sister already knows when to advance and retreat, and she also knows what forbearance is.

"Lu Cailang don't have to worry, I will conduct a thorough investigation of the inn with Zuo Jiansheng in a while, and I will let General Fan go to your place to guard, please rest in peace."

As soon as the words fell, Cui Mian felt as if someone was quietly staring at her, and then turned her head to look, and found that Zuo Yuntang, who didn't know when she slipped into the blind spot of everyone's field of vision, was staring at her vigorously.

Cui Mian instantly understood what Zuo Yuntang meant, but closed his eyes and shook his head, saying that don't think about it tonight, and honestly follow me to investigate the case.

Zuo Yuntang immediately folded his hands, and his face showed an expression of begging you. Seeing that Cui Mian still refused to let go, he could only gesture that he would only need half a night, and he would go to work immediately after he was done.

Cui Mian shook his head helplessly, coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention, and said, "That, I need General Fan to investigate some dangerous places with me in the first half of the night, so let Zuo Jiansheng go to your guard, and let General Fan go over in the second half of the night." ”
