In fact, Fu Zhen didn't want to dig up anything too much, but when the incident happened, it was not long after Old Man Ning passed away, and Mrs. Fu was starting a desperate life. At that time, the Fu family had already lived in this house, so why did Mrs. Fu, who was supposed to rest in the Fu Mansion in the middle of the night, appear in that inn?

Mrs. Fu really frowned, as if she had sunk into something.

Then she lowered her head and drank the soup slowly. Then she stopped and raised her eyes to look at Fu Zhen: "Zhen'er, I also ask you a word, are you really still my Zhen'er?" ”

It was Fu Zhen's turn to be stunned.

The mother and daughter looked at each other like this, as if neither of them wanted to speak first.

But after a while, Mrs. Fu, who was still a mother, gave in first.

She lowered her eyes, picked up a spoon, and scooped the chicken soup in the bowl at once.

The movements were so slow, so steady that it was like a chest full of stones.

"As you said, my meeting with Miss Liang is indeed very unusual." Just as Fu Zhen was chewing on the meaning of her words, Mrs. Fu had already spoken, "Before your grandfather passed away, he left me a message saying that one of his old friends might come to me for help soon, and I must do my best to help.

"And he said that the man who came was very well-borne, and if I could entertain this old friend for him, I would be to me and to your father, who we didn't know at the time was like that—

"In short, your grandfather said that if you helped this person, this person will definitely repay us in the future, whether it is your father's official position, your medical treatment, Jia Ge'er's studies, and even his future and the entire Fu family! All of them help.

Naturally, I did what I was told, and in early August of that year, I received a letter.

"The other party was very polite, and the letter just asked me to book an inn for him, and he made an appointment to come to Beijing before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"The night I met Miss Liang was August 12, and I was in the inn I had agreed with that person.

"Because the man said that he would arrive in Beijing in those two days, I wanted to entertain them well, and it happened that after your grandfather passed away, the big shopkeeper on the cabinet in Jiangling came to Beijing to deliver the account book.

"In order to avoid your father and your grandmother from sorting out these books, lest they fish in troubled waters, I went with them, opened a room, and waited next door while reading them.

"That night, just as I was about to rest when I turned off the lights, I heard a sudden movement in the alley downstairs, and then I saw that the aunt of the Liang family was in distress under the window. And I took care of her and let her go upstairs, and that's it, I had a relationship with her. ”

Fu Zhen said: "How does my mother know that it is Miss Liang's aunt?" ”

Mrs. Fu raised her lips lightly at the night sky: "That young lady is not an ordinary person, she has been in battle to kill the enemy, looking at the whole Zhou, how many women can be as chic as her?"

"And she used to walk on the streets on horseback on weekdays, shining very brightly, and I naturally saw it."

Fu Zhen continued: "Since it is late at night, the light in the alley must be weak, and my mother is upstairs, but she recognizes her, so she must have watched her upstairs for a long time, right?" I don't know what kind of movement was in the alley at that time, which made my mother put down the account book and didn't look at it, but looked downstairs for so long? ”

Mrs. Fu muttered: "Downstairs, it's dead." ”

She brought the soup to her lips, but stopped not drinking it, but looked straight to the ground: "I heard the cry of a child downstairs. At first, I thought it was a child crying at night in the house next door, but when I heard the cry only ringing twice, it stopped abruptly, but I felt that it was wrong, so I looked down through the half-open window.

"It just so happened that I saw someone in the moonlight attacking the two of them, one big and one small. The knife was held high, but it was so skillful that it did not dare to move, and could only watch as the two men who had been killed fell to the ground.

"Although I have never experienced this kind of thing in the past, but your grandfather has traveled from south to north for many years, and the shopkeepers in the family have also walked outside, and I have heard a lot about this kind of murder.

"I just wanted to wait for the murderer to leave and call someone to come and report to the police, but at that time, I saw another person coming below, and it looked like a girl who had come here inadvertently.

It was precisely because I saw that it was a girl who should not be alone late at night, so I took a closer look, there were not many such women in Jingzhong, and I soon guessed her identity from my neat skills.

"She was there to check on the dead, and then someone came at the end of the alley, and as she looked up and looked around for shelter, I saw her face—and I was sure that I would beckon her up to the window.

"And the next day I thought that this matter must be spread all over the city, but there was no wind at all, and everything in the alley seemed to be a dream.

"If it weren't for the news that Miss Liang died in the White Crane Temple three days later, I would definitely think it was a dream!"

As she said this, Mrs. Fu's voice became slower and lower.

At night, the atmosphere in the house seemed to return to that night.

Fu Zhen silently added a spoonful of soup to her, and then said, "After Miss Liang left, did my mother go home?" ”

"Not really." Mrs. Fu stared at her, "I do want to leave in the second half of the night, but the group of people that Miss Liang is hiding from is actually not the same group of people as the previous group. Their attire is completely different.

"The two people who committed the murder before were well dressed and couldn't see their faces while wearing face scarves, but the later group was full of more than a dozen people, all dressed in black clothes and black pants, and also wearing face scarves.

Miss Liang only stayed for a moment before leaving the front yard of the inn, but the people did not leave. They had cleaned up the site, as if they were looking for something. It wasn't until dawn that I searched almost the entire section of the alley before I had to leave. And I never had the chance to leave the store in the middle of the night. ”

After Fu Zhen went to Mrs. Fu's window that night, how could she dare to show up? Naturally, he left as soon as possible.

She almost knew the first half of what Mrs. Fu said, but the later part is only now known.

Later people were still looking for things, most of them looking for the dagger.

Then the next day, it wasn't the people in black who came to look for her, but Xu Yin found her head-

The twists and turns in this are intriguing.

If they are determined to get that dagger, then it is entirely possible to find the alley where Xu Yin lived at the time, and to find Xu Yin because of the investigation one by one.

And it just so happened that Xu Yin knew about it through Liang Ning the night before, and saw the dagger, so he asked about the whereabouts of the dagger several times later.

Thinking of this, her heartstrings suddenly moved: "Did the people waiting for her mother still come later?" ”

"Nope." Mrs. Fu looked at her with blazing eyes, "They never came again."

"Because, they have died in the alley that night."
