Chapter 122 Death of Xiaomo

"Xiao Mu? Where is this person now? Bring him to me immediately."

As soon as Pei Mo gave the order, someone quickly ran out.

After a cup of tea, the news finally came.

"General, we just found Xiaomu by the river in the west of the city. He has been killed."

"What?" Yan Jingtian was startled and leaned forward, as if he didn't believe it.

The person who came to report answered truthfully: "That's right, someone has been sent to carry Xiao Mu's body."

Pei Mo always had a gloomy face. When he heard that Xiao Mu was dead, he felt discouraged and waved his arm casually.

"You guys go down first."

Several servants hurriedly left, and Pei Mo lowered his head and thought for a long time.

"Pei Mo, what do you think we should do now?" Yan Jingtian was also a little undecided at this time, and in the end he could only turn to Pei Mo for advice.

The clues were disconnected at this moment, and Pei Mo had no clue for a while, so he could only get up and leave first.

"It seems that someone instigated Xiao Mu to do this. Knowing that the matter was exposed, he secretly killed him." Pei Mo made a rough guess based on the information he had.

"Now that the person is dead, this clue has been interrupted," Pei Mo said as he walked out. "Let's go back and talk about the next thing. This matter requires detailed planning."

Returning to the General's Mansion, Pei Mo first went to Murong Qing's room to see her, sat by the bed for a while, carefully ordered the maid to go in, and then came to the study.

Yan Jingtian was afraid of disturbing Murong Qing's rest, so he didn't go with him and kept waiting in the study.

"How's it going?" Yan Jingtian asked hurriedly when he saw Pei Mo stepping into the study door.

Pei Mo sighed, with a look of disappointment in his eyes: "I'm still in a coma. I'm afraid I won't wake up for a while."

But then Pei Mo adjusted his mood and sat down next to Yan Jingtian.

"It seems that the murderer behind the scenes has very strict methods and has already dealt a cruel blow to Xiao Mu. I'm afraid he has a background."

After listening to Pei Mo's analysis, Yan Jingtian nodded silently, and then put forward her own opinion.

"Maybe there is some background behind this person." Then he frowned tightly, feeling that this matter was a bit tricky, "Now the clues have been interrupted, we want to continue the investigation, but we can't

So easy."

"Well, it seems we have to put some thought into it." Pei Mo's tone was calm, but his determination was very firm.

In the next few days, Yan Jingtian and Pei Mo used many connections and sent people to investigate, and finally found an eyewitness.

The witnesses were quickly taken to the general's mansion and questioned by Pei Mo.

Under the light, the man was kneeling on the ground, his voice stammering, and he was obviously very nervous and scared.

Under the light, Pei Mo could see clearly that he was wearing blue coarse cloth clothes, because his head almost touched the ground and his face could not be seen clearly.

"What did you see that day?" Pei Mogao sat on the chair, naturally transforming into an aura.

"Back to General, I know... I think the shopkeeper Zhang who saw him that day called Xiao Mu over and secretly said a few words."

"Shopkeeper Zhang?" After some searching in Yan Jingtian's mind, he finally settled on the fat man.

After several days of continuous investigation, they used all their contacts and finally found new clues. Both of them felt a little surprised, as if the clouds and mist were parted and the sun was shining brightly again.

But when he heard that shopkeeper Zhang was involved in this matter, Yan Jingtian couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Is this the shopkeeper Zhang who we rented a place from that time?"

Yan Jingtian frowned. After much deliberation, he couldn't figure out why the shopkeeper sent someone behind his back to murder Murong Qing, so he turned to look at Pei Mo.

"But what is his purpose in doing this? What good does it do to himself?"

Pei Mo couldn't figure out the key at this time. He lowered his head and thought for a long time, then turned his eyes to the witness kneeling on the ground.

"When and where did you see the two of them, and what did they say specifically?"

The witness replied: "The villain was so frightened that he went home and happened to pass by the river in the west of the city. He saw two people talking there from a distance. When he got closer, he found that it was shopkeeper Zhang and Xiao Mu."

He recalled the scene carefully, trying his best to remember more details.

"I remember saying hello to Xiao Mu at that time. I saw that Xiao Mu's expression was a little unnatural. Although I felt a little strange, I didn't think much about it and left."

This information was very important to Pei Mo. He leaned forward unconsciously, wanting to hear more details.

But to his disappointment, the witness could not provide any more information.

"As for what they said specifically, I don't know, because as soon as I got close to them, shopkeeper Zhang's expression seemed to be very vigilant, as if he was guarding against someone."

"I thought what they were discussing had nothing to do with me, so I didn't pay attention and left."

After hearing this, Pei Mo and Yan Jingtian fell into deep thought again.

The man looked at them and remained silent, fearing that they would accuse him. He was even more frightened and hurriedly kowtowed.

"The general is aware that everything I said is true and I would never dare to lie!"

Pei Mo saw that he didn't look like he was lying, so he sent him away.

Pei Mo and Yan Jingtian were the only two people left in the study.

"Why did you let him go? Maybe he can identify shopkeeper Zhang. Isn't this an extra witness?" Yan Jingtian was confused about Pei Mo's behavior.

"According to what he just said, he didn't hear what shopkeeper Zhang said to Xiaomo. Even if he went to the scene to identify it, I'm afraid shopkeeper Zhang wouldn't recognize it."

Pei Mo had his own considerations in mind.

"And if one more person is involved, there will be more danger. This matter is very detrimental to him. Since Shopkeeper Zhang can kill Xiao Mu, he will naturally kill this witness."

Yan Jingtian suddenly understood after hearing Pei Mo's explanation. He suddenly understood why Pei Mo called people over at night and did it so secretly. It turned out to be to protect the safety of witnesses.

He couldn't help but secretly admire him. It seemed that he was not as good as Pei Mo in many places, and he would have to learn from him in the future.

"Now that there is no evidence, we can only lie to shopkeeper Zhang." Yan Jingtian thought for a while and said.

"This is the last resort. We will visit shopkeeper Zhang tomorrow." Pei Mo got up after finishing speaking.

Yan Jingtian also stood up to say goodbye.

Early the next morning, the two of them hurried to Shopkeeper Zhang's place.

As soon as Shopkeeper Zhang saw the postures of Pei Mo and Yan Jingtian, he knew that the people coming were evil, and he was already a little worried.
