Volume 2: The Endless and Gentle Blush of the Setting Sun 186, Murder at the Uncle's Mansion (Part 2)
To solve this case, the most important thing is to figure out why the murderer killed someone... Xie Qingyun fell into deep thought. Judging from Xu Jinghua's performance, their conversation that day was not the same. Moreover, Wu Guojiu was a fool, and all the officials in the capital should have avoided him. Xu Jinghua was a minister of the Ministry of Works and could not be more responsible because his uncle came to persuade him personally.
"Ma Yong, who is this Minister of Works closer to in the court?"
"Immortal, you respect me so much." Ma Yong smiled bitterly, "I am just a little guard, and I'm blinded by the situation in the court."
Xie Qingyun smiled and said, "I understand. Go and invite Mrs. Nanguo in."
"Okay." Ma Yong left as he said.
The first impression that the wife of Nanguo Wu Xiuru gave Xie Qingyun was "a lot of thoughts". This charming lady looked gloomy and had a kind of fatigue that was almost numb in her eyes. She could not see the style of a noble lady in her body.
What Xie Qingyun noticed in particular was her scarf, which she wrapped her neck tightly in mink fleece.
"Madam Nanguo, please sit down." He pointed to the chair opposite him.
Wu Xiuru sat down and looked at Xie Qingyun, then stopped moving. She just looked around at the surrounding environment, which was where she lived since childhood.
Xie Qingyun smiled and broke the silence: "At this time, the lady is still wearing marten fur, isn't it hot?"
"What does this have to do with the case?" Wu Xiuru spoke in a nearly cold voice. When she spoke, she couldn't even look at Xie Qingyun.
"Offended." Xie Qingyun apologized, and then continued to smile in a chat tone, "However, it seems that the relationship between the wife and the uncle is not very good, and you don't seem to be too sad."
"Crying may not be really painful," said Wu Xiuru.
"Even if the pain is so painful that I can't cry, at least there will be pain." Xie Qingyun smiled, "But I can't feel it from my wife. You seem to feel very normal about the death of your uncle, just like a dog died."
Wu Xiuru said coldly: "He will only cause trouble for me when he is alive. I have enough trouble for me, and I really can't control his bad things."
Xie Qingyun smiled and said, "In this way, is it because the uncle of the country has caused you too much trouble, so he has murderous intentions and killed him?"
Wu Xiuru stopped and stared at Xie Qingyun coldly, as if the female leopard was staring at her prey. "Are you announcing the final investigation results, or are you deliberately provoking me?"
"This is just a speculation." Xie Qingyun smiled, "It is also a means of investigating the case. I hope my wife forgives my offense."
"What's there to be unforgivable for me?" Wu Xiuru said coldly, "I am just a wife. You Xie Qingyun dare to fight even if you dare to fight in the Marquis of Wuwei. Even if you make me wrong, what can I do?"
"Madam is really serious." Xie Qingyun smiled, "Then, let's get back to the point. I heard that my wife has been to the uncle's mansion on the thirteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth days, and I don't know what's going on?"
"What?" Wu Xiuru said strangely, "I need a legitimate reason to go home to visit my brother?"
Xie Qingyun said, "Of course this is not necessary, but I heard that the wife had a quarrel with the uncle, and it was twice."
"When did I come back and don't argue with him?" Wu Xiuru said.
"Why are you quarreling?" Xie Qingyun said.
Wu Xiuru said: "If the family is a matter of family matters and the qi refiner is extraordinary, how can we know the sufferings of the world? I am tired, how long will it take to ask?"
Xie Qingyun smiled and said, "Now the wife can leave. If there is new progress in the case, I hope the wife will continue to cooperate." He asked Ma Yong to send Wu Xiuru out.
Ma Yong sent someone back and whispered, "Immortal, how about it? Could it be her?"
"It's hard to say." Xie Qingyun said.
"It's hard to say?" Ma Yong said.
"It means that anyone may be the murderer, including you." Xie Qingyun said with a smile.
"Me?" Ma Yong was startled.
"I'm teasing you, go and call the next one, just Xie Yao." Xie Qingyun said.
horse
Yong scratched his head laughed and cried, and ran to bring Xie Yao in.
Xie Yao sat down with a cold face and said, "Xie Qingyun, are you going to take revenge on your own?"
"What do you say?" Xie Qingyun said.
"You want to frame me as the murderer because we blocked you from returning to the door!" Xie Yao said angrily, "The Taigong will not let you do anything wrong!"
Xie Qingyun said, "Does you think of Taigong only in times of danger? Why don't you see Taigong as you waited to force Taigong to pass out of the Martial Soul Monument in Youhuangyuan the day before yesterday?
"What a group of ungrateful wolves!" Ma Yong sneered.
Xie Yao was a little embarrassed, but begged: "Brother Qingyun, you can't harm me. I am your elder brother, you..."
Xie Qingyun really didn't want to see this guy's face, so he interrupted coldly: "Ma Yong, give him out for me and let Li Dongxing come in."
So Xie Yao was forked out, Li Dongxing came in and said carefully: "Sir, this case has nothing to do with the young man. I was at home all night yesterday and didn't go anywhere. The people in the mansion can testify for me."
"You sit and talk." Xie Qingyun pressed his hands down. When Li Dongxing sat down, he said softly, "This is just an ordinary conversation. You are the best friend of the uncle. You came to see him on the 16th, right?"
"Yes," Li Dongxing recalled, "It was yesterday. I was depressed by my father's scolding, so I brought some wine and meat to find my uncle, and went back when I was holding the lights."
"Have he ever said anything special to you? For example, things related to the venue of the Supervising Martial Arts Conference?" Xie Qingyun said.
Li Dongxing shook his head in surprise: "How did he participate in the construction of the venue? I really don't know if this is a small matter."
"Don't you know that my uncle has spent money like flowing water recently?" Xie Qingyun said.
"I know." Li Dongxing said.
"Where did his money come from?" Xie Qingyun said.
"I don't know." Li Dongxing said.
"Aren't you curious? You didn't ask at all?" Xie Qingyun said.
Li Dongxing recalled, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Yes, I asked, and he only said, "This is not glorious."
"Isn't it glorious?" Xie Qingyun's eyes slowly narrowed, "What do you think he is referring to?"
Li Dongxing smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, for the future of my father, I really don't dare to make a mistake."
"I understand, you go." Xie Qingyun waved his hand.
After Li Dongxing left, he did not call anyone else. Ma Yong stood aside and said, "Sir, your method of investigating the case is really special. If it were us, how could we have the patience to ask questions one by one."
"Oh?" Xie Qingyun said, "How did you investigate the case?"
Ma Yong's face turned red. Seeing that Xie Qingyun saw that he was like this, he knew that it was probably not a glorious method. He probably did a lot of things that were wronged. He raised his face and said, "Ma Yong, as a law enforcement officer, the most important thing is not to solve the case, but not to cause unjust, false and wrong cases."
"Xiao, I remember it." Ma Yong really wanted to slap himself, why did he talk too much about this? He said embarrassedly, "Immortal, I will learn from you well. How do you check next?"
"Stay call people."
Xie Qingyun still asked questions one by one.
In the evening, Chen Liang walked in quickly from outside, holding a stack of account books in his arms, and could not hide his tiredness on his face. "Immortal, the Ministry of Revenue has been blocked. Fortunately, there was a Shangshu Ling, so he brought the account books out."
The Shangshu Ling is Xie Baoren.
Xie Qingyun said, "Oh? How did my uncle know about this?"
Chen Liang said, "Of course, the young man sent someone to notify me."
"Slippery." Xie Qingyun laughed, "What did the emperor say?"
Chen Liang said, "Your Majesty said that this is indeed the case." He put the account book in front of Xie Qingyun, thinking that Xie Qingyun would look through it, but who knew that he didn't move. This was something he had taken after a lot of hardships, so he couldn't help but say, "Immortal, don't you look at these account books?"
"I have specialized in my skills," Xie Qingyun smiled and shook his head, "How can I understand it."
Chen Liang cried
He couldn't smile and said, "Then, why do you need these books?"
"I just want to see what those people react." Xie Qingyun sighed, "It seems that Xu Jinghua is unlikely to embezzle, or he is fully prepared."
"What does this have to do with the murder of the uncle?" Chen Liang said.
"The uncle has been squandering his money recently, who is providing the money behind his back?" Xie Qingyun rubbed his eyebrows, "Suppose he knew a secret, a not-so-glorious secret, used to threaten money, and then was silenced?"
"Yes, why didn't I expect it!" Chen Liang murmured.
"Let's just come here today, let your people continue to block the uncle's mansion. Tomorrow you can take me to the martial arts conference venue."
When he arrived outside the uncle's mansion, Chen Liang hesitated and said, "Xie Xianshi, I'll send you back to the mansion. By the way, we'll talk about something while we go."
"Oh?" Xie Qingyun said.
The two walked together, and Chen Liang said, "Miss Wanwan came to see me some time ago."
"Which Miss Wanwan?" Xie Qingyun was stunned.
Chen Liang said: "Miss Tang Wanwan."
Xie Qingyun stopped and looked at him with wide eyes, "Are you telling me a ghost story?"
Chen Liang smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Wanwan is not dead. At first I thought she was a ghost and came to ask me for my life."
"I watched her with my own eyes..." Xie Qingyun was shocked and inexplicably.
"I buried her with my own hands..." Chen Liang smiled even harder, "She said she met a noble man and saved her. She also said that this noble man had something to do with you."
"It has something to do with me?" Xie Qingyun said.
"It seems to be your sister." Chen Liang said.
"My sister?" Xie Qingyun was surprised for a while, and a name suddenly popped up in his mind: Xue Linglong!
How long has it been since there was no news about her? It was only more than two months later, but he felt like he was a different life. "Is it her? Then all this makes sense." He felt that Tang Wanwan was probably turned into a ghost cultivator by Xue Linglong.
"Miss Wanwan also left you a letter." Chen Liang took out the letter from his arms and handed it over, "This letter has been kept in my hand for a long time, and finally fulfilled his mission."
