The next day, it was the twenty-fifth, and early in the morning, Jingmo rushed to Nie Xiaoman's gluttonous cat fast, but Xiaoman went for his routine morning walk again, and he didn't come back yet. In fact, this so-called walk is often to slip away and buy breakfast, Jingmo has long been used to it.

Jing Mo sat down in the study, intending to see what news was on the latest bulletin of the Criminal Department, although the file recorded the news about the Honghuadi gambling nest, but as Feng Zizhou expected, it was really ominous, not only the names of the so-called "heads and faces" had not been disclosed, but the number of the seventy-six male and female gamblers had also been greatly discounted, and there were only a dozen people, and the so-called law was of no importance to the powerful, it was just used to smelt the people, manage the people, and limit the people.

Jing Mo couldn't help but let out a long sigh, the corruption of officialdom is better day by day, but the rivers and rivers are gone, the world is so chaotic, I don't know how much suffering the people will suffer, how innocent the people are.

After a while, Nie Xiaoman came back from outside and began to use his breakfast, which was a famous food in Jinling City.

Xiaoman looked at Jing Mo a little strangely: "Don't you eat?" ”

Jing Mo smiled: "I've eaten it." ”

Legend has it that after Hong Wuye built the capital in Jinling, he was tired of eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the palace, and went out of the palace in a day's micro-service, and saw a snack bar fried fried tofu fruit on the street, which was full of fragrance and golden color, and couldn't help but increase his appetite.

He then took off a slope-shaped jade wrench in his hand and asked the shopkeeper to process a bowl of tofu fruit for him to enjoy. Where has the shopkeeper ever seen such a generous customer, he immediately put the tofu fruit into the chicken soup pot, cooked it with a small amount of soybean sprouts and seasonings, and boiled it until the tofu fruit was soft and flavorful, and Zhu Yuanzhang praised it again and again after eating.

Since then, fried tofu has been all the rage and has been passed down to this day. Because the Jinling people often add bean sprouts in the firing, and its shape is very similar to the jade Ruyi in the ancient jade, so it is called Ruyi back to the brine.

When Jing Mo saw Xiao Man, he naturally changed his mood, so he hurriedly released the report of the Criminal Department, and secretly looked at Xiao Man's expression, trying to guess whether Nie Xiaoman had made progress in the investigation of this suspicious case. It's a pity that Jingmo observes that the ingredients of failure account for eight or nine out of ten, except for Xiaoman, when he is nervous and troublesome, it is difficult to easily peek into his inner state from his face.

Jing Mo then thought that he had a conversation with the little maid yesterday afternoon, and he had not been subjected to Nie Xiaoman's Trotskyism, so he might as well listen to the results of Xiaoman's investigation first, and then unexpectedly tell him the important news he had gotten, so that Xiaoman would be surprised. Watching Nie Xiaoman put the tofu fruit in his mouth, Jing Mo had already made up his mind.

That's it!

So after Xiaoman finished breakfast, removed the cups and plates, and Wei Pu sent the freshly brewed pineapple tea, Jingmo began to ask.

Jing Mo said: "Xiaoman, I think you must have been running around for a long time yesterday. But what didn't happen? ”

Nie Xiaoman was unaware of all the plans in Jing Mo's heart, his tone was as flat as a taste, and said: "I can't say anything about the result, I have been to the Yeshan Daoist Institute on Yushi Street, and I have also found out the address, and I have visited Ouyang Taihe, the uncle of Shang Yuanji's father, and found out a few facts, and then I went to Feng Zizhou and told him about it, hoping that he would investigate Wang Chongming's traces for me." Feng Zizhou accompanied me to the Jinling Mansion to investigate the registration matter, and visited Gao Yuefeng Langzhong together. In the end, Feng Zizhou left me for dinner and delayed until late. Today I was going to find a reason to meet Shang Yuanji's aunt, Lai, and this is what happened after I separated from you yesterday. ”

"So, what are the facts you've ascertained?"

"There was a servant in the Nayeshan Dao Courtyard named Yang Jingwang, who told me that Qin's coffin was indeed sent in at nine o'clock in the morning of the 23rd, and that only one man and one woman were mourned. This is indeed a habitual so-called funeral act. ”

Su Jingmo almost couldn't help but want to add a few words at this time, but finally hurriedly held back and coughed dryly again to cover up.

Nie Xiaoman looked at Jing Mo and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

Jing Mo remained mysterious, and only replied: "Nothing, I want to ask who the man and woman who are at the funeral."

"According to Yang Jingwang, the woman was the deceased's daughter, Jin Chuan, but the man was a man surnamed Tang who was dressed in a troll, and he only said that he was a relative of the deceased. Later, when I went to see Ouyang Taihe, he said that he had never heard of any relatives surnamed Tang in Jinling, and this person is still a mystery. ”

At this time, Jing Mo's throat seemed to be a little itchy, but as soon as he remembered Xiaoman's previous behavior of selling Guanzi, he swallowed the words back.

Nie Xiaoman blew on the tea soup and took a sip, still taking care of himself and said: "I also found out that the one who went to the yamen to handle the registration of the Qin family's cancellation at about the evening of the 24th was Shang Yuanji's brother Chongming. However, Master Zhao, who managed the death registration, registered indiscriminately with only a piece of paper from Gao Yuefenglang, and never went to Shang's house to investigate in person. Therefore, it can be proved that Wang Chongming did not disappear after the death of his main mother. ”

Jing Mo couldn't help but nod secretly, because this conclusion was exactly in line with what he had summarized. But Jing Mo's nodding action, Nie Xiaoman didn't seem to see it.

Xiao Man continued: "There is another point, I think it is very suspicious, the surnamed Yang once said that among the four husbands who carried the coffin that day, there was a person he had always known, that person's name was Lao Si, who lived in the Tuas Tea Pavilion Baima Camp, and you think that the Tuas Tea Pavilion is far away from Hualugang. Why don't they hire servants from near places, but they go far away like this? Therefore, I feel that the contradiction in this is becoming more and more inexplicable. ”

Jing Mo interjected and asked, "What do you mean by the contradictions?" ”

Nie Xiaoman took another sip of tea before saying, "I felt that the facts in this were contradictory yesterday and could not be explained reasonably. Because from the general psychological speculation, Qin's death, if it was really the murder of Lai's mother and son, and the method of murder is assumed to be the simplest poison, then, since their conspiracy has been accomplished, they can leave the corpse in the hall and let her biological son Shang Yuanji come back for funeral, in fact, Shang Yuanji will never rush to inspect the corpse, and he died by poisoning, it is by no means something that can be seen at a glance, but why do they have no silver here, and take such a mysterious funeral move? ”

"Well, a scholar like Shang Yuanji probably can't see it."

From another point of view, their secret funeral is enough to prove that they did have a conspiracy. But what is their conspiracy and what is it trying to achieve? I can't really figure it out. And since they had a conspiracy in advance, why were they in a hurry to write a quick letter to inform Shang Yuanji? After being informed, why did he deliberately create such abnormal behaviors to make Shang Yuanji suspicious? All of these things feel unreasonable. ”

"If you say that, that's really the case, they can follow Shang Yuanji's request, so Shang Yuanji naturally has nothing to say."

"Later, I found out that they had gone to a distant place to hire a coffin-beating man, and that the man surnamed Tang had come out of nowhere to come out of nowhere to come out of the funeral, and the more it proved that they did have a secret conspiracy. However, according to Ouyang Taihe, Na Lai was usually humble and timid, so he had nothing to do with each other over the years; He also said that Na Chongming just liked to be idle, he didn't want to do such a scary illegal act, and Na Lang Zhong Gao Yuefeng also stated that the Qin family died of illness. These are significant contradictions, and now I'm almost caught in a dilemma. My only hope is for you to explain it to me. After Xiao Man finished speaking, he leaned back on the back of the circle chair, silently as if waiting for Jing Mo to continue.
