Chapter 28 Visiting Xiao's Family
After listening to Bai Luo's description, Chen Yutian's expression moved slightly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Listening to this person's meaning, he seemed to have known the mystery of the message before death, but since this is the case...... Why didn't he tell the government such an important clue?
Moreover, this person seems to have a very bad impression of the government in his words, and even uses words like "dog official".
"It seems that this person seems to hate the government very much!" After hearing this, Xue Tianhan touched his chin slightly.
Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Xing Enming very unified.
Xing Enming was stunned and asked, "What do you think I do?"
Chen Yutian said with a smile: "Uncle Xing, Xiao Sheng's case was taken over by your Gyeonggi Mansion, could it be that your Gyeonggi Mansion did something, so this person hates the government so much, and even does not hesitate to call it a word like 'dog official'?"
Xing Enming was stunned for a moment, "It shouldn't be, right?"
"Master Xing, think about it, after Xiao Sheng's murder, has anyone ever said that there is a problem with the pre-death message and wants to see you?"
Gongsun thought for a moment and asked.
"Well, this ......" Hearing this, Xing Enming thought carefully for a long time, and he really found such a person in his mind......
"It seems that there is such a person......
When everyone heard this, their eyes flashed, and they hurriedly asked, "Really, what does that person look like?"
"This ...... I've never seen that person look like him. Xing Enming smiled bitterly.
The crowd was silent.
But think about it, if he saw that person, I am afraid that this person would not hate the government so much......
Chen Yutian said: "Uncle Xing, do you remember the situation at that time?"
"Of course. Xing Enming nodded and painted the picture of the time for everyone......
It seems to be the third day of the crime, when Hu Sheng has been arrested as a murderer, and the case is basically closed.
But on the morning of this day, Xing Enming suddenly received a report from the officer, saying that there was a person outside who asked to see him, and he kept saying that he knew who the real murderer of Xiao Sheng was.
But at that time, the case had already been closed, so Xing Enming did not pay attention to that person's words, but refused to ask to see him on the grounds that the case had already been closed.
After that, the man scolded at the entrance of the yamen, and Xing Enming was furious when he heard this, so he ordered the officials to beat him away.
This incident was just a small episode for Xing Enming, so it didn't take long for him to completely forget about it......
It wasn't until Gongsun mentioned it that he recalled the incident from the depths of his memory......
After listening to Xing Enming's narration, everyone was basically sure that the person who scolded at the yamen should be the person Bai Luo's mouth.
It's just that whether this person is the murderer in this case or not is still difficult to confirm for a while.
"According to this person's behavior, he should be a person close to Xiao Sheng, but in the file, there is no record of this person, it seems that this person is quite mysterious!"
Gongsun touched his chin, and his eyes showed a thoughtful glow.
Chen Yutian shook his head slightly: "It's not mysterious, it's just that I think we should visit Xiao Sheng's parents, maybe they might know something." ”
"That's right. The crowd nodded yes.
Immediately, everyone went back to their homes to sort out the many events that had happened that day.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Chen Yutian summoned Gongsun, Xue Tianhan and others to continue to study the secret on the iron tablet of the slaughtering character, and sent Huo Yuanji and Tang Fengling to visit Xiao Sheng's parents with Bai Luo.
Xiao Sheng's parents lived at the west gate of the Xuandu capital, and after the three of them rushed for nearly half an hour, they finally came to Xiao Sheng's house.
I saw a three-entry mansion in front of me, the door of the house was wide, and the inner halls and pavilions were all magnificent, and it looked so angry.
"This is Brother Xiao's home. Bai Luo stepped forward and knocked on the door.
I only heard a childish voice from inside, asking, "Who!"
"Peach, it's me, Brother White. ”
When the words fell, the door suddenly opened, and I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl come out, looked at Bai Luo, and shouted crisply: "Brother Bai, you are here, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
"yes, long time no see. Is Uncle Xiao here?"
"Yes. ”
Taohong nodded, led the three of them to the atrium hall, and said, "Brother Bai, you take a break, I'll go and invite the master over." ”
With that, she departed.
Huo Yuanji, Bai Luo, and Tang Fengling chatted in the hall for a while, and then began to discuss the circumstances of the explosion case.
After a while, Peach walked into the hall with an old man about sixty years old, who had white hair, but was in good spirits and had a ruddy complexion.
"Uncle Xiao, my nephew is disturbed. Bai Luo stood up and saluted.
Huo Yuanji and Tang Fengling also greeted Xiao's father one by one, and after the ceremony, everyone took their seats.
I saw Father Xiao look at Huo Yuanji and Tang Fengling, and said with some hesitation: "Two, I don't know what you have to ask for the old man?"
Hearing this, Huo Yuanji got up and hugged his fists.
"Outside of Xiao Yuan, let's get straight to the point. We are all officials, and I would like to ask you a few questions about the death of Lang Xiaosheng. ”
Hearing this, Father Xiao sighed, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
"Alas...... Hasn't this case been solved a long time ago? And the old man heard that not long ago, the real murderer was also killed on the way to be escorted. What else to look for?"
Huo Yuanji smiled: "Uncle Xiao, that's not what you said. Although Ling Lang's case was indeed solved, he was involved in the development of another case. ”
"What do you mean by this, my lord?" Father Xiao's eyes flashed, and he asked in a deep voice.
Huo Yuanji's expression was slightly solemn, and he asked, "Do you know about the recent successive explosions in the capital?"
Father Xiao nodded, "I have heard of this matter. Why, could it be that the child's case triggered this case?"
Xiao Yuanwai's face changed suddenly.
Huo Yuanji nodded slightly.
"Yes, based on reliable intelligence, we suspect that the murderers responsible for these cases are trying to avenge Ling Lang. According to our inference, this person is very likely to be someone close to Ling Lang. But we searched the file and couldn't find any record of this person, so we would like to ask you for advice to see if you have any impressions. ”
After hearing this, Xiao Yuan was shocked and said, "What? You said that the reason why the murderer designed this series of explosions was to avenge Xiao'er?"
Huo Yuanji nodded.
Xiao Yuanwai immediately looked at Bai Luo on the side.
Bai Luo also sighed and nodded.
Xiao Yuanwai believed this unbelievable and even somewhat absurd statement.
After a while, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he said, "Could it be ...... Is it him?"
Hearing this, Huo Yuanji, Bai Luo and Tang Fengling all flashed their eyes and asked in unison, "Who are you talking about?"
Xiao Yuanwai sighed.
"Alas...... Do you know that actually...... Sheng'er is not an old child, he is the child of a distant relative of old man. ”
Hearing this, the eyes of the three of them flashed - they didn't expect Xiao Sheng to have such a background......
"My distant relative's life is really not good, when Sheng'er was about four years old, the couple went out, but they encountered robbers on the way, and both died.
At that time, the eldest of their two children was only seven years old, and Sheng'er was only four years old. Two children lost their father and mother at such a young age......
Another distant relative and I couldn't bear it, so we adopted their two children separately, so I adopted Sheng'er, brought him back to the capital, and raised him carefully......"
When he said this, Xiao Yuanwai's cloudy eyes were full of calm, and he didn't see the slightest wave...... But Tang Fengling, who was careful to observe, still found a trace of deep nostalgia hidden from the bottom of her eyes......
It can be seen that the pain of losing a child is still tormenting this kind-hearted old man......
Perhaps, this kind of torture will take a long time......
Perhaps, such torture will never go away......
But all this can only be borne silently by this kind old man alone, and the others have nothing to do but watch him.
Looking at this scene, Tang Fengling sighed.
Huo Yuanji was after listening to Xiao Yuanwai's words, his eyes flashed slightly, and he glanced at Bai Luo.
"Uncle Xiao, do you mean, Xiao Sheng, he also has an older brother who is the same as him?"
