The dossier seconded by the county government is not exhaustive, and it is extremely difficult to investigate after many years, and the officials and officials who handled the case and the relevant people are no longer alive.

Lin Fei inquired and found that the only person who was still alive was Mrs. Lu, who was the most important person back then.

He wanted to find out the truth, but he was not unreasonable.

Mrs. Lu has a special identity, and she has a life-saving grace for Mrs. Hou, not to mention that the case back then was too cruel, so that every time Mrs. Lu recalls it, I am afraid that it will be a great harm to Mrs. Lu. Therefore, as in ordinary cases, it is not appropriate for witnesses to recall the events of the past over and over again and apply them to this case.

If Lin Fei hadn't saved up enough evidence at hand, he wouldn't have casually gone to Mrs. Lu to let her relive the nightmare of the past.

"Master Xing is from the land of Sichuan and Shu," Lin Fei said, "Originally, he opened a restaurant with a good reputation in the local area, although it is not as famous as the time-honored brand, but it is also very good, and it is not a problem to make a living and buy a house for a year." At the beginning of this year, he suddenly closed the restaurant that had been in business for many years and went to Beijing. I heard that I was introduced by someone to come to Chang'an City to make a living. ”

This so-called way to make a living, because of his good relationship with Liang Hongjin, Wen Mingtang also learned the inside story by mistake: he went to Ganzhiwei Chef to be a cook.

It's not that I don't think there's anything wrong with this business, Wen Mingtang himself is also eating public meals in the kitchen of Dali Temple, and he is very satisfied with the current life.

It's just that Wen Mingtang is an orphan girl, so she came out of the court, and there is nowhere to go, and there is nothing to go except for the little money she has saved in the palace for many years.

But for people like Master Xing, who have been operating in his hometown for many years and have built a good foundation, he rashly threw away everything he had to go to Beijing, if he wanted to make a name for himself with his craft, but the fact is that after Master Xing came to Beijing, he only went to the public kitchen to be a cook, which was obviously lost watermelons and picked up sesame seeds compared with the large-scale business he had already operated.

"What about Master Xing's family?" Wen Mingtang thought for a moment and asked.

Lin Fei shook his head and said: "In the early years, Master Xing married a wife and had children, but I heard that his son died of illness at a young age, so his wife went early because of depression. ”

Lin Fei only made a superficial inquiry about the Sichuan and Shu townsmen who introduced Master Xing to Ganzhiwei, and the villagers came to Chang'an early to ask for a living, and they didn't know much about Master Xing.

Let Lin Fei deliberately notice Master Xing, but it was because of another thing that he sent someone to investigate.

"After Master Xing came to my house, he was very particular about eating ingredients, and he often went to buy ingredients in person." Lin Fei said.

Wen Mingtang also knows this: "I met Master Xing in Zhuangzi with Ji Caimai. ”

Lin Fei nodded in response, and then said: "Master Xing often goes to the market to buy, and he listens to the people in the house, and he has asked about the name and background of 'Hu Siming' several times, and every time he passes by the market slaughtering stall, he will always subconsciously take a look at Hu Siming. ”

Hu Siming is now being held as a suspect in the Dali Temple prison.

"The day he injured his hand happened to be the day of the accident." Lin Fei paused, glanced at Wen Mingtang who was thoughtful on the side, and pointed, "Master Xing is not a person who is particularly good at disguise. ”

Wen Mingtang also thinks this deeply: Master Xing's cover-up is not clever.

"Mao's death may have nothing to do with him, but his hand injury is not as simple as he said." Lin Fei said, "By all kinds of coincidences, I checked Master Xing, he came to Beijing for no reason, and for some reason he suddenly gave up his job as a chef and went to my house, I need to figure out what is going on." ”

If you can't even figure out what is going on in your own house, how can you handle the case? What's more, Master Xing deliberately approached, and it was obviously Mrs. Hou who favored him.

"Later, I found out that his target was not my mother, but someone he wanted to get close to through my mother," Lin Fei said this, stopped, looked at Wen Mingtang, and said, "After that, Mrs. Lu came over." ”

Coupled with the deliberateness of today's braised pork meat, there is no doubt that Master Xing's target is Mrs. Lu, and it reminds her of what happened back then.

Thinking of Mrs. Lu's reaction when she saw the braised pork meat, Wen Mingtang couldn't help but take a deep breath: "It seems that this matter has plagued Mrs. Lu to this day, making it unforgettable." ”

Lin Fei nodded and said, "Judging from Master Xing's reaction, maybe he wanted to find the people and things related to this case through Mrs. Lu. ”

Therefore, he should stay in the mansion for more time and accompany his mother to take care of Mrs. Lu and others. There are many things in this case that need to be investigated in your own house.

After saying this, Lin Fei looked at the dim sum made by Wen Mingtang on the table: although he is not a person who will make his stomach suffer, he was not polite when he moved his chopsticks on the table, but he really did not eat enough.

After watching Wen Mingtang hand over the bamboo rice, xiaolongpu soup dumplings, and lotus root soup to the maid who came to serve the dim sum, Lin Fei took a bowl of osmanthus wine stuffed dumplings handed over by Wen Mingtang.

Scoop a spoonful of osmanthus wine stuffed small balls with a spoon and send it to the mouth, the entrance is sweet mixed with the floral fragrance of osmanthus and the wine koji is slightly drunk, the appearance is smooth and tender, the entrance is soft and glutinous small balls dissolved in the sweet osmanthus wine, a bowl of belly, warm ironing, quite pleasant.

Putting the dishes and chopsticks on the table, Lin Fei looked at the girl who was taking a small sip of the soup, thought about it, and said, "Thank you Master Wen for today's events, the banquet is over, Master Wen should go back earlier!" ”

Wen Mingtang nodded, raised the small half bowl of soup left in his hand, and said that he would go back after eating this half bowl of soup.

Because Mrs. Lu was unwell, she could have left early today, and she could have left early, and she could go to a market or something on the way back.

Just thinking like this, I heard Lin Fei's voice ring again: "I may take leave from time to time in recent days, it's very chaotic outside, and it's night, you don't have to go around at will." ”

Wen Mingtang heard this, thought about it seriously, and asked Lin Fei: "Lin Shaoqing, but the murderer in this case may kill people at will outside?" ”

Just like the beautiful lamp case in the past, the murderer is very likely to hide in the dark and attack people, so he can't go out at will.

Lin Fei lowered his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he nodded.

He told her not to walk around at will, but it had nothing to do with the case. This case is not like the previous case, where the murderer will go to the street to find a target, but purposefully target the perpetrator.

Can...... Looking at Wen Mingtang's clear expression, Lin Fei didn't explain again: Girls are not the kind of people who like to run out, they cook in the public kitchen in the past few days, look at the book, and they may not come out of Dali Temple once in ten days and a half months.

As long as people are in Dali Temple, she is safe.

Something, though...... It's better to wait until this case is solved, and then explain it to her!
