"Brother Fang, if you invite me, you naturally want to come up. The young man in the green shirt downstairs also performed light skills, jumped up, easily went up to the second floor, folded the railing of the second-floor window in his hand, and easily flipped into the box of Fang Xiao and the three of them.

"Ding Xu has seen Brother Xu and Brother Mu. Ding Xu also bowed slightly.

"Brother Ding is polite, let's sit down and eat something first. Mu Liu didn't say much, he was all about it, and he was waiting for dinner now.

"Then I'll take advantage of the three today. Ding Xu also sat down with a smile.

"Brother Ding, why are you here today? Fang Xiao also asked with a smile.

"The dean of the academy here is a good friend of me, and he is not in good health these days, so I will take a few classes on my behalf. Ding Xu also explained with a smile.

"Ding Xu is really a talent, and he can also substitute for teachers. Xu Xiang felt sorry for his purse, and said to Ding Xu on the other.

"Brother Xu's words have tormented me, but teaching some children to read sage books, where is there any great talent. To say talent. We are afraid that Brother Fang can bear these two words. Ding Xu also said again and again.

"You people, you are talking and throwing your words at me. Fang Xiao also shook his head dissatisfiedly, but when he raised his head again, he said to Ding Xu, "Brother Ding, we were originally thinking of visiting you in the afternoon, since we met, let's just finish what we want to do." ”

Ding Xu looked at Fang Xiao and said confusedly, "I don't know what the three brothers are looking for me?"

"Hong Xiuqian. Fang Xiao said word by word.

"Hey, I should have thought of it. I was on the boat that night, so I naturally wanted to inquire. Ding Xu also nodded and said, "It's just that Brother Fang and I still have some children, can I go with you to the six doors after class in the afternoon?"

"Brother Ding misunderstood, we just want to know what happened that day, what you saw and what you know. We're friends, how can we behave like that. Brother Fang also said with a warm smile. Everyone was stunned when they looked at Fang Xiao's smile, and they almost thought that Fang Xiao and Ding Xu were really friends for many years.

Ding Xu was the first to come back to his senses and said, "So I will tell you about the events of that day." ”

Seeing that Fang Xiao and the three of them also stopped their chopsticks, Ding Xu also opened his mouth and said: "Xiuqian and I have actually known each other for a year, and it is also a pleasure to sit at her and listen to music and talk about your heart." As for that night, I remember that the weather was pretty good, and it was cloudless, so I arrived a little earlier. ”

Hearing this, Fang Xiao also interrupted: "If you arrive early on the painting boat, will you go in the morning?"

"Naturally, there is no reason for this, otherwise everyone will take advantage of the first to come to the Qing people, and they will not accompany the guests for nothing?" Ding Xu also said with a smile.

"So, Brother Ding waited on the painting boat for a while?" asked Mu Liuyue.

"That's right, I drank tea alone for a while on the first floor, and I didn't go upstairs until the clock rang on the second floor. Ding Xu also said.

"Alone?, the old bustard didn't come out to entertain the guests that day?" Fang Xiao also said strangely.

"I'm a little surprised when I think about it now, because usually the guests are waiting, and my mother is chatting with tea to prevent the guests from being anxious. Ding Xu also said with his chin propped up.

"Interesting, Brother Ding, you continue. Fang Xiao muttered to herself, then smiled and let Ding Xu continue.

"Good. Ding Xu answered and continued, "After the bell rang, I went upstairs, and I saw that Xiuqian seemed to be a little unwell, so I helped her inside?"

"Not feeling well?" Fang Xiao also asked.

"Oh, that's right, when I went up, I saw Xiuqian leaning on the table of the first piece, as if she was twisted because of the bell. Ding Xu also explained.

"Oh, that's right. Fang Xiao also smiled and stopped talking.

"What did Brother Fang say right?" Ding Xu also asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I thought of some mundane things, Brother Ding continued. Fang Xiao waved his hand and motioned for Ding Xu to continue.

Then I helped her into the room, and the two of us talked for a while, and she had to force herself to play a song for me, and then there was nothing. Ding Xu also said after searching the memory of his head.

"Then Hong Xiuqian has ever hung up the curtain?" Fang Xiao also asked.

"At first, there was no curtain, but when it was time to play the piano, Xiuqian said that she had a cold a few days ago, so I asked her to help her hang up the curtain. Ding Xu also said.

"I see. Fang Xiao also nodded and said, "In that case, let's eat." ”

The dishes ordered by Mu Liu were also brought up at this time, "These three sets of ducks are the famous dishes of this Ganlu Building, everyone can eat some of them." Mu Liu also said with chopsticks.

"Brother Xu, what's wrong, your face is so ugly?" Ding Xu also saw Xu Xiang sullen and asked.

"He, that's a suffrage, don't worry about him. Mu Liu also spoke.

"Eaten?" Ding Xu also had a black line on his head, after all, he had just started eating. But Mu Liu said so, Xu Xiang didn't say anything, and he didn't want to ask, so he covered his head to eat.

From time to time, Ding Xu left first because he had to have classes in the afternoon. The remaining three continued to eat.

"Let's see if I can't finish it. Xu Xiang pointed to the dish in front of Mu Liu and said.

"What's the hurry, it's a big deal, wait a while, let the shopkeeper's heat heat up for me to go through the six doors, there will always be someone to eat." Muliu also glanced at the miser.

"Okay, it's a small matter to eat. Mu Liu, you think back to the first time you went to the painting boat, the curtain was lowered. Fang Xiao also rinsed his mouth with tea and said, "I remember the last time the three of us went, the curtain had already been hung up. ”

"Think about it. When the shepherd heard this, he was not playing and thought about it carefully, "The curtain was put away." Makiliu replied affirmatively.

In this way, after Zhao Qingke left, Hong Xiuqian or the murderer put away the curtain. Fang Xiao also said, her eyebrows slowly locked, "Why is this?"

"Why else, when the guests left, they naturally put away the curtains, and they didn't have to see the guests anyway. Xu Xiang felt that this person had made a simple question complicated.

"If this curtain tent was collected by Hong Xiuqing, then there is no problem with what was said just now, but what if it was the murderer who put the curtain away?" Fang Xiao also looked at Xu Xiang and asked.

"I didn't think of it, if it was a murderer, it should be to hide something. Xu Xiang also said.

"That's right, we're just trying to figure out what he's hiding now. Fang Xiao also said, "Get up quickly, let's go to the painting boat, I want to figure out two things!" The three of them also immediately checked out and ran to the painting boat, but after settling the account, Xu Xiang shouted: "Fang Xiao, you trick me!"
