Chapter 160: In no order
Jing Mo thought that Xiao Man said that it would be over within an hour or two, but at this moment he said that he was waiting for things to fall into place and solve them naturally, Xiao Man's words were the real contradictions!
Jing Mo even thought that this crazy Shang Yuanji had already given his madness to Nie Xiaoman. The friendship between Jingmo and Xiaoman has not been for a day, and he knows that Nie Xiaoman has always been the kind of person who is very organized and clear-minded.
Even at a drunken banquet, you can rest assured that Xiaoman will not be the one who gets drunk, Jingmo even believes that even if he is drunk, Xiaoman's brain is also sober. In Jing Mo's heart, Xiaoman has always been reliable, like an iron anchor anchor anchoring a ship; It's like a torch in the night. I can always find an order in the mess of facts.
However, Xiao Man actually said such contradictory words, which really made Jing Mo not know what to follow, just like a cargo ship sailing on the sea relying on astrological positioning, and suddenly found that the dark clouds covered the sky full of stars, and this time it was dark from the outside to the inside.
Xiao Man asked again, "...... What do you do with your head when you find it? ”
"I couldn't think of a way for a while, so I quietly took the wooden box upstairs, hid it in my room, and rushed here to inform the two of you. Hey, my lord, are they already mad! What should I do now? ”
Nie Xiaoman crossed his hands on his chest, as if he was estimating the origin of this matter, and did not hear Shang Yuanji's question at all.
Xiao Man asked to himself again: "Brother Yuanji, when you found that official suitcase, were you sure there was no one in the kitchen?" ”
"I've looked closely, my lord, not at all."
"Are you sure that when you go out to buy water, the suitcase is not in the kitchen?"
"I'm sure, sir."
Nie Xiaoman bit his lip, shook his head in confusion, and then asked, "After you found out, you shouldn't have told anyone about the discovery of the head, right?" ”
"Of course not, sir."
"So, did you say hello to your family when you came out just now?"
"Nope. I still crept out the back door, and no one saw me. ”
"What about the official suitcase where the head is hidden?"
"Under my bed."
"What did you do with your door?"
"The door is locked, and the key is still here." Shang Yuanji said, and then patted the outside of his pocket with his hand, which was considered confirmation.
Nie Xiaoman stroked his own chin with his hand, as if he had made some kind of determination in his heart, and suddenly nodded, it seemed that he had made up his mind in his heart and would not change it again.
Xiao Man patted the scholar on the shoulder and said in a firm voice, "Okay, you go back first." We'll be there. But the most important thing is that you must stabilize your emotions now, remain silent in front of them, and never panic like this again. I can tell you plainly that this matter will be over tonight, and your mother's spirit in heaven will be comforted. ”
After Nie Xiaoman sent Shang Yuanji out, as soon as he returned to the yard, he hurriedly sent Wei Pu, who was feeding the cat, out to call a four-wheeled car.
Then, Xiao Man hurried into his bedroom, and Jing Mo didn't know what Xiao Man was busy with.
Jing Mo waited alone in the study, but his mind was not idle at all. The change in this suspicious case has been unexpected again and again. Why was the Lai family's mother and son so ruthless that they wanted to cut off the Qin family's head! But what purpose did they do this, and why did they put the head of the Qin clan in Shang Yuanji's hands now? Is it to scare Motoyoshi crazy? Or is there something disagreeing among the conspirators, so that someone automatically betrays their plot? Jing Mo thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but wonder again.
Could it be that this is another head? Not Qin's?
Will it be because of the coincidence of the incident that two unrelated things happen to be put together, so that things repeatedly surprise him and Xiaoman? This kind of two intersecting and confusing cases have been experienced by myself and Xiaoman.
However, such a coincidence is too bizarre, and Jingmo does not dare to believe it.
A moment later, Nie Xiaoman had hurried back to the study. He had put on a black shirt with a narrow collar and a pair of light soap shoes on his feet, so his footsteps were soft as he descended the stairs. He was carrying another pair of the same soap shoes in his hand, and Jing Mo saw that his coat pocket was protruding outward, and it was clear that something was hidden.
Xiaoman said to Jing Mo: "Jing Mo, you put on this pair of soap shoes quickly, and the cart is already waiting outside the door."
Jing Mo asked strangely, "Since we are going to take a big car, why do we need to change our shoes?" ”
"Nature is useful. Now the time is urgent, I won't explain it to you, you can change it quickly. ”
So Jingmo didn't ask any more, but changed his shoes as quickly as possible, and both of them got ready as quickly as possible, and boarded the four-wheeled car. Nie Xiaoman said something to Wei Pu Fuer when he got into the car, and then ordered the driver of the four-wheeled cart to drive to the fish market street. Immediately, the cart sprang into motion.
In the car, Jing Mo couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Why are we going to Fish Market Street?"
Nie Xiaoman nodded, his lips still tightly closed.
Jing Mo asked again, "Are we going to the Yeshan Dao Courtyard?"
"Exactly, Jingmo, you're right!"
"Could it be that you are going to meet Yang Jingwang, who is in charge of the affairs of the Yeshan Dao Academy?"
"No, I'm going to see Shang Yuanji's mother, the Qin family."
Jing Mo was stunned and exclaimed, "What? Didn't I hear it wrong? ”
"Be quiet, Jingmo, don't make a fuss."
Jing Mo's mind was completely messed up all of a sudden, and he thought, why did Xiao Man go to visit the corpse! In terms of Xiaoman's character, it can be said that he is very close to old-fashioned, and he will not be a person who jokes about this kind of thing. So, does this sentence mean something else?
Jing Mo's heart suddenly moved, and he asked, "Nie Xiaoman, what are you going to do?" Could it be that you want to open the coffin for an autopsy? ”
"That's right! You guessed it again! Xiao Man said that he took out a few things from his coat pocket and showed them to Jing Mo, there was an oil lamp, a hammer, and a fader.
Jing Mo couldn't help but be shocked and said, "Nie Xiaoman, you did this privately, but there was going to be a problem." Regardless of the laws of the Ming Dynasty, if you are a ginseng book, you are only afraid that it will be a lot of trouble. ”
Xiao Man nodded and said, "It's a bit dangerous, I naturally know it." But if we commit a small crime for the sake of morality in the world, we naturally cannot be generalized with ordinary thieves who steal graves and corpses. ”
"It's too risky after all. Don't you have any other way than to go off the rails with your sword? ”
"Yes, that's the only thing I can do right now, otherwise I wouldn't have made this decision."
"So, what are you going to do now?"
"'I'm going to confirm what you told me. If the results are satisfactory to me, then these things can be 'prepared'. As he spoke, he put the hammer and the awl in the bag on the left, and the oil lamp in the bag on the right.
Jing Mo was puzzled: "What do you want to confirm my words?" ”
"Okay, this is Fish Market Street." Xiao Man tapped lightly on the wooden frame of the carriage with his hand and ordered, "Coachman, stop here." ”
At this time, there are more than 10 storefronts from Yeshan Daoyuan. Nie Xiaoman asked the cart driver to stop the cart at the corner of a fork in the road, and then turned around and walked towards the Yeshan Daoyuan. The front door of the Nayeshan Daoyuan is not directly against the street, but it is indented by more than a zhang, and the road is not very lively during the day, and it is even darker and sparse at this time.
The two walked to the gate of Yeshan Daoyuan, and the gate outside was closed. Nie Xiaoman didn't knock on the door, but walked towards an alley between the east and west walls of Yeshan Daoyuan, and Jing Mo followed closely behind him.
Nie Xiaoman said in a low voice: "Didn't Shang Yuanji say that his mother's coffin was stored in the back of the barren number?" ”
Jing Mo also replied in a low voice: "Yes, I remember he also said that the barren number is along the back wall." ”
There is a vacant lot at the back of the Nayeshan Dao Courtyard, not only is there no human body, but even the oil lamps in the alley can't shine through, and the black empty field has a gloomy feeling. Nie Xiaoman returned to the alley that the two had just crossed, looked into the alley, and then returned to the foot of the fence behind him, and raised his head to look at the wall. The height of the wall is about nine feet, and the wall itself is made of gray bricks, unpainted, and the wall is lined with erect tiles, and the structure appears to be very solid.
