The visitor is Tong Nanxiao in the hope of the two, and his arrival brings hope to break the mystery, and Jingmo is naturally very welcome. Tong Nanxiao walked into Nie Xiaoman's study room, greeted each other a few words, and sat on the circle chair opposite the two.

Nie Xiaoman preemptively said: "Lord Tong, are you from the Qian family in the fourth archway at this moment?" I think Wei Yi'an didn't go to Qian's house to eat and drink last night. Am I guessing right? ”

A surprised expression appeared in Tong Nanxiao's eyes: "Master Nie, what basis do you have to think like this?" ”

Nie Xiaoman was stunned: "What? Did I guess wrong? ”

Tong Nanxiao nodded and said, "I asked the groom Qian Yuexun, Wei Wei Yi'an did go last night. ”

Nie Xiaoman's mouth opened slightly, and he suddenly sat up straight, as if this time was beyond his expectations, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Nie Xiaoman asked as if incredulous, "Have you been?" …… Hmm, then I guess he didn't drink at the Qian family. Is it a mistake? ”

Tong Nanxiao's eyes widened: "This is not bad!" He sat at Qian's house for a short time and left, and he really didn't drink. …… However, how do you know, Lord Nie? Could it be that you've already been to Qian's house......"

Nie Xiaoman let out a sigh, the expression on his face regained his calmness, shook his hand, and said, "Fei Ye, Fei Ye." The idea that Wei Yi'an had never drunk at Qian's house was only made up a few minutes ago. I have never been to Qian's house. ”

Yao Dianshi's eyes narrowed a little, but he still kept blinking. He looked at me. I exchanged glances with him, but I couldn't alleviate his mystery, because I was also puzzled by what the basis of Nie Xiaoman's guess was.

After a while, Tong Nanxiao said, "Master, since you know that he has never drunk, then you may have the same opinion as me. ”

"What do you think?"

"Wei Yi'an didn't drink alcohol, and it can obviously be seen that he was not drunk and crazy last night. And what the thirteenth said that he felt that his master's drunken words when he spoke were clearly not true. In this way, there is a lot of research value in this. What do you think, Lord Nie? ”

Nie Xiaoman smiled slightly and said, "Lord Tong, I'm sorry, I can't agree with you. ”

"Huh?" The expression of disappointment shifted to Tong Nanxiao's face.

"I know that although Wei Yi'an did not drink alcohol at the Qian family, he did drink elsewhere. You probably haven't figured it out yet. ”

When Tong Nanxiao heard this, his face turned a little red, and he stammered, "Yes...... I...... All I know is that he went to Qian's house when he was in You. Later, he suddenly got some news, so he quit his master and went out. Whether he drank alcohol after leaving the Qian family, I really haven't figured it out yet. But, Master Nie, how do you know? ”

Nie Xiaoman said lightly: "Wei Yi'an's question of whether to drink or not, we sniffed the smell in the spittoon just now, didn't we already know about it." But the place where he drank was not in Qian's house, but elsewhere, and I also judged from the information given to me by Jiang Langzhong just now, and I determined it just now. According to Jiang Langzhong's investigation, Wei Yi'an had drunk a large amount of Fenjiu. Fenjiu is liquor...... It is the most violent liquor in the sorghum liquor. You always know the customs of Jinling, white wine is used for funerals, and Shaoxing rice wine is always used for weddings. Therefore, since Wei Yi'an drank liquor, it can be seen that he must not be drunk at the Qian family. ”

Nie Xiaoman's explanation can be said to have broken many mysteries of Tong Nanxiao and Su Jingmo with one arrow. Only then did Su Jingmo know that Nie Xiaoman's abrupt question just now did not come out of thin air.

Nie Xiaoman asked Tong Nanxiao: "Speaking of which, Wei Yi'an first went to the Qian family yesterday, and then left the Qian family after getting some news, isn't it?" ”

"Exactly. Who was the person who came to send him the news at that time, and I also asked Qian Yuexun, but Wei Yi'an didn't explain it to Qian Yuexun at that time, only said that he had an urgent date and had to go. So after Wei Yi'an left the Qian family, I haven't found out who he dated, where the date was, and what he was talking about. ”

"So the arrival of that information was in Wei Yi'an's plan, so was Wei Yi'an waiting for this news, or was this news an unexpected emergency? Have you ever asked Qian Yuexun? ”

"I think it happened by accident. Because Wei Yi'an apologized to his master when he was leaving. He said that he had gone to have a wedding drink, but he didn't expect this unexpected date. It can be seen that the date was not expected by him. ”

Nie Xiaoman closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "According to common sense, there must be a connection between this person and this murder case. Although we don't know who that person is, it doesn't seem to be very difficult to find out who he is. ”

Tong Nanxiao said happily: "That's good! Master Nie, have you already thought of any methods? ”

"I guess that person not only knows Wei Yi'an, but is also a friend of Qian Yuexun. Just looking at the fact that he knew the address of the Qian family, and knew that yesterday was Qian Yuexun's wedding date, he could expect that Wei Yi'an would definitely go to the wedding wine, so he went to the Qian family to find someone and found it, which is obvious. At the same time, I guessed that the place where they were going on a date must have been in a liquor store dedicated to drinks. All they drink is Fenjiu, which is only available in liquor shops that specialize in liquor, and it is drunk by people who are good at drinking. In this way, it seems that the person who dated Wei Yi'an is also an old drinker. It may be easier to rely on these two clues to find out the news. As for what was being discussed, I can't guess in a vacuum, but it's probably always something unspeakable. ”

"In that case, I'll just go to this liquor shop and find out."

"Not bad. There aren't too many of the larger liquor shops in the vicinity now. You might as well ask one of the liquor shops first, and you might as well get some clues. What else have you heard? ”

"I also went to the Yuesheng Fabric Workshop to ask, and it was proved that the anonymous letter was written by Wei Yi'an. I also know that although Wei Yi'an nominally has some positions in the fabric factory, in fact, he doesn't really have any work in it, but just a collusion of interests for the sake of business in the Ordnance Bureau. Because the big shopkeeper of the fabric workshop was an old friend of Wei Yi'an's father, it is estimated that they colluded together to eat money from the imperial court's military purchases, so Yi'an is free to squander outside, but he doesn't really do things for the cloth workshop, this kind of thing Lord Nie naturally understands, and I don't need to say more. ”

Nie Xiaoman has always hated this kind of person the most, and whenever he encounters him, he always has to curse a few words with Jing Mo and sigh with emotion, but when discussing the case, he rarely kept silent. Then he continued to say about the case: "I think he must have traveled extensively. Have you ever investigated any of his friends who are at odds with him? ”

Tong Nanxiao responded: "I have asked, there are several, according to a guy surnamed Yang inside, Wei Yi'an's temper is too bad, and he will turn his face with others from time to time." A warehouse clerk in the company...... Not...... It's called Xu Bi...... once fought with Yi'an for the sake of supporting the girl ~ Youling; There is also an old friend of Yi'an, surnamed Pu, who also went there to quarrel for gambling money. However, there is one surnamed Zhou named Yiyun, who seems to have a deeper hatred with Wei Yi'an. ”

Nie Xiaoman seemed to be moved by this sentence, and suddenly interjected and asked, "Ah, do you know what's going on?" ”

"I've inquired too, but I can't ask for details. All I know is that they were neighbors at first, and they had a very good relationship with each other. Zhou Yiyun is still studying in a school, and often goes in and out of Wei Yi'an's house, and they have close contacts. Later, for some reason, Wei Yi'an began to often speak ill of Zhou Yiyun behind his back. Not only that, Wei Yi'an also revealed an attitude of being afraid of Zhou Yiyun, as if he was afraid of the revenge of the surname Zhou. But what is the truth in the case? Not only did the surnamed Yang not understand, but no one else knew. ”

"Where is Zhou Yiyun now?"

Tong Nanxiao was stunned and said, "I don't know." It is said that Zhou Yiyun disappeared a month ago! ”
