There is also the letter found in the desk drawer, which looks like an anonymous letter written by someone to Wei Yi'an, and Wei Yi'an specially copied a copy as if it was going to be of any use to keep it. Secondly, from the point of view of assassination, looking at Wei Yi'an's dress and the things on his desk, as well as his dealings with the female ~ Youling, plus the portraits of the women and the pictures of the Spring Palace in the books in the drawer, it is obvious that he is a lustful and shameless person.

At the same time, he is an alcoholic gambler, and he has a very bad temper after drinking, and such a character should easily offend people. He has recently expressed that he is afraid of someone, so if it is assumed that he is jealous because of the competition, there are enemies or rivals outside, then there is also this possibility.

In addition, it is also possible that someone is motivated by money. For example, will the tiger who resigned come back by chance? Or is there some kind of collusion with the janitor's old thirteen? And the errand boy who told his mother that he was sick so suddenly before supper yesterday, so that he took leave and went back, and it seemed that there was some coincidence and suspicion.

With these three possibilities, everyone divided their labor among themselves according to Nie Xiaoman's old example just now.

Nie Xiaoman went to Feng's house in Xishuiguan to inquire about the news. Because this place is the most important, and Feng Jingchen is the actual client of Nie Xiaoman and Su Jingmo, Nie Xiaoman has to go there in person.

Tong Nanxiao was responsible for going to the Qian family in the fourth archway to investigate the situation of Wei Yi'an when he had a wedding wine last night, and who were at the same table with Wei Yi'an.

Su Jingmo was in charge of going to Nancheng to find out if he really went home to see his mother last night.

Among the four people, it is still necessary to count the position held by Governor Jiang is relatively light, and he only investigates in the vicinity, and there are no suspicious people in the vicinity of Wei's house in recent days.

Everyone had already decided, so all four of them came out of the Wei family. Jing Mo went back to the hungry cat Zhai alone. Because when he got up in the morning, Jingmo wore a lot of clothes, and at this time, the sun was shining and the climate was getting hotter, so he naturally couldn't help but go back and change into lighter clothes.

When Jingmo arrived in the house, he went directly back to the room to change clothes while speculating on the plot of the case. This kind of double murder case is the first time since I and Xiaoman got to know each other. Judging from the plot of this case, there are obviously two murderers: one who poisoned and the other who stabbed.

Nie Xiaoman had assumed that the cause of death of the deceased was due to poisoning, and that stabbing was not the main cause. So who is the person who poisoned it? Is it someone outside the house, or someone inside the house? If it is someone in the house, will it be Wei Yi'an's wife Feng Jingchen? Judging by the current situation, her suspicion can be said to be the heaviest. But since she murdered her husband, how could she dare to come to her door to find herself and Nie Xiaoman?

Could it be that he became a thief himself, and then he was helping to call for a thief together? This is a very common and effective way to exonerate oneself. Maybe she came to consult the two of them, but it was just a kind of smokescreen for her, in order to use Nie Xiaoman as a cover to avoid suspicion. If so, how would Nie Xiaoman deal with her? Will Xiaoman shelter her?

No, it shouldn't be possible, Nie Xiaoman is a person who presides over justice, and the boundary between public and private is the clearest. It should be believed that he will never shield or wronged anyone without any reason to favor only his personal likes and dislikes. But if she really murdered her husband Wei Yi'an, it was entirely to avenge her husband's various ruthless and unrighteous deeds, then how would Nie Xiaoman end this murder case? And what to do with this poor woman who was persecuted by her husband and mother-in-law?

Jing Mo changed his clothes, drank a bowl of tea in the study, rested for a while and thought back and forth about the case, and was about to take his hat and go to Nancheng, when he suddenly saw Nie Xiaoman walking in with a sigh of relief.

As soon as Xiao Man saw Jing Mo, he asked in surprise, "Haven't you gone to Nancheng yet?" ”

Jing Mo nodded: "I'll come back to change my clothes and I'm about to leave." ”

"In that case, you might as well sit a little longer. I'll go with you. ”

"Where are you from? What's new? ”

Jingmo put down his hat and sat down. Nie Xiaoman took the tea invited by Wei Pu, the tea was still a little hot, Xiaoman couldn't drink it with Ben, he leaned on the circle chair and grabbed the hat next to him and fanned the wind.

After a few slaps, Xiao Man said, "I visited a few neighbors of the Feng family for a while. It is said that after Feng Jingchen returned to her parents' home, she often went out with her young female companions to soak in the garden. This is indeed true. ”

"Then the words in the anonymous letter don't seem to be completely fictitious."

"Yes, at least part of it is always true."

"What about the others?"

"I've also met Feng Jingchen and her brother Feng Qinghong."

"What did he say?"

Naturally, he tried his best to protect his sister and begged me to get to the bottom of it. He said that Wei Yi'an was a disciple, and he did have the idea of taking a concubine, but because of his opposition, he did not dare to implement it. According to Feng Jingchen, Wei Yi'an once revealed her intention to divorce her wife on the grounds that she had no heirs, but because she was afraid of her brother, she couldn't say enough reasons to bring it up publicly. ”

"In your opinion, is Feng Jingchen suspected of murdering her husband?"

Nie Xiaoman didn't reply while blowing a little hot tea, and when he was about to say something, suddenly Wei Pu came in and delivered a letter. Xiao Man hurriedly got up to pick it up, then tore it open and looked at it, turned around and came back and said to Jing Mo excitedly: "This letter was actually sent by Governor Jiang. In this case, I can see that although he wants to work hard, it is a pity that it is always thankless. This time, however, it has had some effect. ”

Jingmo asked, "What effect?" What did he discover? ”

He said he had carefully questioned all the catchers in the area. When it was almost time last night, a group of patrolling catchers passed by the door of the house of the guard of the South Capture Hall. They all saw a man dressed in black come out of the dark door of the Wei family. This is what most catchers see, and naturally there is no mistake. This finding cannot be considered very important in this case. ”

"Hmm. You think this is the Assassin we envisioned? ”

"It's possible. Because according to Lao Thirteen, it happened to be the time when he and his mother Feng Jingchen walked out of Feng's house last night. From the South Fishing Hall to the Siweitou of Xishuiguan, it takes at least half a pillar of incense to sit in a sedan chair. When the thirteenth arrived at Feng's house, he waited for his housewife to get up from the bed, freshen up and leave, and had to delay the work of half a pillar of incense. In this way, it is estimated that the old thirteen can be pushed out of the Wei family, and it should be at least halfway through the time. When it was almost time to get to the son, the man in black who came out of the Wei family that the catchers saw was clearly not the old thirteen, but another person. I believe there is no doubt about that. ”

"Not bad. Last night, there was no second man in the Wei family's mansion except for the old thirteen. There is no doubt that the man must have been the murderer of the assassination. But when do you think this murderer entered Wei's house? “

"Old Thirteen said that when it was time for dinner, he used to go to the kitchen inside to get dinner. At that time, the gate was naturally empty and unguarded. At this time, if someone sneaks in, hides behind the shade of a tree, or hides in a small garden behind, waiting for an opportunity to do something, it is natural that people will not know it. It happened that when the old thirteen went out to report the news after the hour, the house was quiet, and the murderer thought that the opportunity was ripe before he quietly entered the house, and it is not known. ”

Jing Mo immediately retorted: "Your first reason is close. The second reason, I dare not agree, I see that you are still a little contradictory, and it is not very comprehensible. ”

Nie Xiaoman said as if confused: "Contradiction? What do you mean? I don't understand. Xiao Man said and looked at Jing Mo with wide eyes.

Jing Mo said: "The thirteenth went out to report after Yi'an's death. How do you say that when the murderer went into the house, it was after the old thirteen went out? ”
