Chapter 108: Lan

Wang Chaozong said: "In my opinion, this murder case seems to involve a woman with the word 'Lan' in her name, and the murderer must also have something to do with this woman." Maybe it's because of the triangular relationship, so the man and Mao Yuhong are incompatible, so they came here in the middle of the night to commit murder. After the killing was completed, he took advantage of the time when Lu Bingzhong went back to find someone, threw the fire door gun behind the door, and fled quietly. ”

Nie Xiaoman listened quietly, noncommittal.

Wang Chaozong continued: "From the facts we know, this murderer may be called 'Youze'. The most troublesome thing in front of me is to find this person called 'Youze', and I can't start for a while, because no one in this room knows who this 'Youze' is. ”

Nie Xiaoman pondered for a moment and said, "Although the family doesn't know, friends may know. Since Mao Yuhong is studying in the famous Maoshan School, there are always classmates there to inquire.

Wang Chaozong seemed to be reminded, and said happily: "Yes, yes, thank you for mentioning it." I'll start with this clue. ”

"Okay, you can find someone first, if you find someone, listen to what he says, and then we will discuss the next step."

Wang Chaozong agreed, so he packed up the physical evidence such as the fire gate gun. He was going to go back to the Yamen to contact him first, so that after the people from Dali Temple came, the body would be transported to the coroner's office, and finally he would go to the Maoshan School to investigate. Nie Xiaoman talked to him a few more words, and Wang Chaozong left. Xiaoman and Jingmo also went downstairs together.

Xiaoman had a brief talk with Mao Yuhong's mother, only to learn that Mao Yuhong's father had always worked in the Ministry of Industry and had some savings. Mao Yuhong is their only child, and he has been used to raising a sedan chair since he was a child. Nie Xiaoman asked if Mao Yuhong usually had anything to do with women, and the old woman replied that she didn't know, only that he usually spent a lot of time outside, and he squandered a lot.

Before Xiaoman and Jingmo left the Mao family, they asked the little maid Zhenzhen and the old bolt head to ask questions, and what they answered was no different from what Wang Chaozong had previously relayed. Jing Mo felt that the old bolt was really a confused old man while listening, so he didn't even wake him up with the sound of a gun.

However, the little maid Zhenzhen talked about Mao Yuhong's temper, and vaguely confided in her dissatisfaction, as if this Mao Yuhong was like a willful "young master".

After the two came out of Mao's house, they went to the Jinfu Yazhong to meet Lu Bingzhong for a while, and there was no discrepancy in what they said. Xiaoman and Jingmo went back to the hungry cat to prepare a late breakfast. Because they had just received an urgent report from Wang Chaozong in the morning, the two of them hurried there, and their stomachs were still empty.

The late breakfast was duck blood vermicelli soup.

If you want to say the most authentic duck blood vermicelli, it can be particular, the vermicelli that makes duck blood vermicelli soup must be carefully selected, not too thick and too fine, it must be able to taste strong, the best is Longkou vermicelli, the taste is better. The authentic old soup is usually served with duck intestines, duck liver, duck gizzard and other offal, plus tofu fruit, coriander, and finally served with a piece of duck fat baked cake.

Nie Xiaoman was originally proud to eat this bite, but this day, he seemed to be full of worries, and he actually changed his normality, just ate a few bites indiscriminately, and then left his seat.

Su Jingmo felt slightly strange and asked, "What's wrong?" Isn't this vermicelli cooked separately? So the strength is not good? ”

It turns out that according to the exquisite way of eating, a bowl of authentic duck blood vermicelli soup needs to prepare a small pot to cook vermicelli, and the duck soup for boiling vermicelli should put a little more salt so that the vermicelli can taste faster. As long as the fans are soft and rotten, they can be scooped up and set aside.

Nie Xiaoman shook his head: "This soup is not right, this is not the soup of the old duck, and there is no pepper, the taste is wrong." With that, he threw away his chopsticks and went to rinse his mouth.

After rinsing his mouth, Nie Xiaoman walked into the study first. Jingmo felt that it tasted good, so he brought Xiaoman's bowl to him and ate it.

Speaking of which, Xiaoman and Jingmo occasionally have opposite attitudes towards meals, and they are completely targeted. Sometimes the progress of the case will affect Jing Mo's brain, and then it will also affect Jing Mo's appetite, but generally Nie Xiaoman will not be affected.

This time it was poured out. Jing Mo felt that Mao Yuhong's case was relatively unremarkable, but Nie Xiaoman paid so much attention to it that he even had no appetite for breakfast. Xiao Man also said nonsense that there was no pepper, which was obviously sophistry, and the purpose was to cover his worries.

After Jingmo finished eating, when he came to the study, he saw Nie Xiaoman pacing in the room with his hands on his back, with his head down, as if there were thousands of thoughts trapped in his brain, and he couldn't sort them out for a while.

Jing Mo said with a smile: "Xiaoman, what you said just now is too fake, when is the duck blood powder not you eat faster than me." Suddenly saying something that doesn't taste right, are you still thinking about this case? ”

Nie Xiaoman lit five sticks of incense, legend: burn this incense for ten days, and the fragrance can go up to nine heavens. Then he asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"I see that you can't eat because of this case, but you have found so many excuses, I ask myself if I know you, but in my opinion, this is just an ordinary revenge murder case, why are you so concerned?"

"Haha, I'm not making excuses, it's just that I ate too much and felt a little dull in my brain." Nie Xiaoman paused for a moment, and then said, "Yes, I don't need to hide it from you, Jingmo, this case really makes me very nerve-wracking!" As he spoke, the texture between Xiao Man's eyebrows deepened a little.

Jingmo asked, "What do you mean?" I don't think this case is necessarily that troublesome. ”

Nie Xiaoman suddenly turned around to look at Jingmo, he sat on the circle chair with melancholy colors, staring at the flower ceiling blankly.

Xiaoman asked, "Jingmo, don't you know that there are contradictions in the plot of this case?" Alas, this contradiction is something I can't solve!

Jingmo asked, "What contradiction?" What do you mean? ”

At this moment, the sound of footsteps stopped Nie Xiaoman's reply. He was still sitting, as if pushing a puzzle, and outside Wei Pu went to push the door and came in.

Wei Pu said: "Master, Wang Tou'er sent his subordinates to deliver a letter to present to the master. ”

Jingmo stood closer, so he stretched out his hand and took it, it was really a letter from Wang Chaozong. Chaozong said that he couldn't trace who 'Youze' was from the clue of Maoshan School, and the more related point was that the deceased had a good classmate named Hu Youzhe, and he might be able to know Mao Yuhong's situation. Hu Youzhe lives at No. 19 Honghuadi.

Wang Chaozong went there to visit his neighbors and servants, only to learn that Hu Youzhe was going to get married that day, and the bride's name was Zhao Yalan. He found out from the appearance and clothing that the bride was the woman in the picture! Wang Chaozong felt that this discovery had a significant relationship, so he went on to question Hu Youzhe. Hu Youzhe refused at first, claiming that he did not know Mao Yuhong, and later Hu Youzhe said that they were just general classmates and did not know the details of Mao Yuhong. Wang Chaozong became more and more suspicious, so he took out the woman's picture and image to testify. Yuzhe couldn't help but suddenly change color, and he could no longer deny it.
