At this time, a maid who was in charge of the side room walked in.

"Madam, Director Yang and Mr. Tian Chunda said they wanted to visit you......

Hearing the maid say this, Kawaka-sensei immediately got up from her seat.

"Ma'am, then I will take my leave. Before I go to Momiji Town, I will come back to visit you in the house. ”

When Director Yang and Tian Chunda came in, they happened to pass by Teacher Chuanxiang. Tian Chunda looked at the dignified back of Teacher Chuanxiang and said, "What a special guest!" ”

"Yes! She is my guzheng teacher. Hong Xiangsong said.

"Can't she see with her eyes?"

"Well, but it's not completely invisible...... Is the result of the handprint identification out? ”

Hong Xiangsong turned to ask Captain Tian.

"No, it's not out yet. But before that, I have something I want to ask Zuo Qing to see. ”

Hong Xiangsong then called Zuo Qing over, and as soon as Zuo Qing heard his mother's call, he immediately walked into the room.

"Ahh I'm sorry, I brought you here to show you this thing. ”

When Captain Tian took out the handkerchief stained with sticky blood, Hong Xiangsong's eyes opened wider than Zuo Qing.

"Ahh Where was this handkerchief found? ”

Director Yang then told them what the boss of Kashiwa House had said.

"Because this handkerchief is printed with the words "Study in the United States, I think Zuo Qing may be able to provide us with some clues......

Zuo Qing thought silently for a while before facing Hong Xiangsong and said, "Mom, when I come back, where do I put the things I brought back?" ”

"I'll keep it all in the closet."

Hong Xiangsong opened the closet and took out a cloth bag from it. I saw that there were clothes in the cloth bag, as well as cloth bags with miscellaneous items, etc. Zuo Qing opened the cloth bag, took out a handkerchief from it and said:

"When I returned home, they gave me this kind of hand towel......"

Zuo Qing's handkerchief is printed with the words "Study in America Friendship Association".

"I see. But, Zuo Qing, don't you really know who this person is? He called himself Tian Sanping and lived in Xingwang Community, Beicheng District, Nanguang City. ”

"Ahh What did you say? ”

Hong Xiangsong suddenly let out a scream.

"You mean the Xingwang Community in Beicheng District, Nanguang City?"

"Well, yes. Madame, do you know there? ”

"That's the neighborhood we live in Nanguang City!"

Hearing this, Tian Chunda couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Director Yang also showed a nervous look.

"In this way, the masked man is more and more related to the murder that happened last night. Zuo Qing, don't you really know who this person is? Could it be your schoolmate, or someone who has visited you since returning home, or someone who holds a grudge against you? ”

Zuo Qing slowly shook his masked head and said, "I don't know, maybe I once told anyone the address of our Nanguang family, but I really can't think of anyone who would come to Red Leaf Valley." ”

"Captain!"

Hong Xiangsong interjected.

"Just now you asked if anyone has a grudge against Zuo Qing, but the question is: it was not Zuo Qing who was killed, but Zhu Wenwu!"

"Yes, you're right."

"By the way, ma'am." Captain Tian changed his tone of voice slightly at this time.

"Last night's meeting, only the people of the Hong Li family can participate, right?"

"Yes! Except for Mr. Zhu Shi and Mr. Gu Gong, they are all from our family. ”

"So does Yuan Zhuang have ......?"

"What did you say?"

Hong Xiangsong's eyes widened with a disapproving expression.

How could he be present on such an occasion? No matter how Yuan Zhuang said it, he was just a servant, and he was not qualified to enter that room at all! ”

"Well, that's right, I just want to know where Yuan Zhuang was last night and what he did."

"I don't know, but he might be mending the nets. Because yesterday evening he came to me and asked me to give him the old zither strings. ”

According to Hong Xiangsong, Yuan Zhuang is a master of casting nets. When Hong Li was alive, he often took him to Hongye Lake to cast nets to fish, and the two even went all the way to Tianlong River to fish!

"Yuan Zhuang is a man with a lot of skill...... Hey? Could he ......?"

"No, nothing."

At this time, a policeman hurriedly ran in, because Zhu Wenwu's body had already floated.

*******

The reason why Zhu Wenwu's body can be found so quickly is all due to this storm.

Although an uncontrollable storm hindered the search work, on the other hand, it also unexpectedly brought Zhu Wenwu's body to the surface of the lake.

As soon as Tian Chunda and Director Yang heard the news that the body had floated up, they immediately rushed to the sluice gate.

They pushed past the crowd of onlookers and saw a man wearing a wide-brimmed waterproof hat and a waterproof jacket coming ashore from the dinghy drenched all over.

"Ahh Thank you so much yesterday. ”

The man spoke to Tian Chunda. Tian Chunda looked at each other in surprise. It turned out that he was Master Zhiqing, the presiding officer of Miyun Temple.

"Did you come by dinghy?"

"Yes! It's faster this way. Anyway, I would always get wet in such storms, so I decided to cross the lake, only to encounter a terrible incident on the way. ”

"Ahh Do you mean Zhu Wenwu's corpse? ”

"Well, yes! The corpse had no head...... Alas! It's sick to your stomach when you say it......"

Host Zhiqing frowned and shuddered involuntarily.

"Ahh Oh, yes! It's really hard for you. ”

"No, nothing...... Then I'll go first. ”

When Zhiqing was about to walk forward with a travel bag, he was stopped by Tian Chunda.

"Ahh Host Zhiqing, please wait a minute. ”

"Oh? Can I help you? ”

"There's something I want to ask you, I don't know if it's convenient?"

"That's right...... I don't know what you're asking, but I'm always there. Well, goodbye. ”

After Zhiqing left, Tian Chunda looked back at the lake.

Outside the locks, in addition to the police steamboats, there were two or three small boats floating on the lake like leaves.

I saw the policemen with solemn faces coming in and out of the steamboat, and Director Yang was among them.

After a while, Director Yang wiped his sweat and walked out of the steamboat.

"How?"

"Alas! Next time, even if I was to pay to see it, I wouldn't want to. ”

Director Yang frowned and sighed frequently.

"That's Zhu Wenwu's corpse, right?"

"Yes! In the next few days, I will ask his family to come and identify the body, but Dr. Nantian has already examined it two or three times before, and he said that it is absolutely not wrong. ”

Nantian is the town's doctor, and this time he was commissioned by the police to conduct an autopsy.

"I see, it shouldn't be wrong. By the way, has the cause of death been found? I don't think there was any trauma to the deceased's head......"

"Well, the murderer stabbed the deceased in the back with a knife in the chest and killed him with one blow. Nantian said that the deceased may have died before they could shout. ”

"So, what about the murder weapon?"
