Chapter 887 - Unknown Painting

Du Cao looked sad and said the names of the calligraphy and paintings in a choked voice.

After Hua Lang heard the names of those calligraphy and paintings, his brows suddenly condensed slightly, because he still knew some about Zhou Fang's paintings, but he had never heard of Zhou Fang's calligraphy and paintings, was it because these calligraphy and paintings were not famous?

Hanarang thought to himself, maybe yes.

The poems, calligraphy and paintings of the literati painters in ancient times can be handed down and remembered, after all, they are a few, and in the river of the whole time, those calligraphy and paintings are not much different from the sea of water, and it is understandable that Hualang does not remember that Zhou Fang has passed on these paintings.

Now that Du Cao said the names of those calligraphy and paintings, Li Jing'an immediately sent people to find them, and in order to force the thieves to take risks, they decided to make the entire Chang'an City dare not buy those calligraphy and paintings.

Of course, this was only possible if they intensified their checks at the city gates.

After leaving the Du Mansion, Li Jingan smiled again and again: "It's rare for a playboy to come to Chang'an, why don't you go to the mansion and sit for a while?" ”

Hua Lang smiled and refused: "I still have a few friends at the inn, let's go later, I don't know when this case will be resolved, and I will have to disturb Master Li in the future!" ”

Li Jingan heard Hua Lang say this, and he was not reluctant, and he took people away as soon as he gave up his hand.

But after Li Jingan left, Wen Feng asked, "Brother Hua, what should we do next?" ”

"Go back to the inn and wait for news!"

After returning to the inn, Wen Meng and Hua Wan'er immediately showed a look of disappointment and regret, they felt that they really shouldn't have listened to Hua Lang's words, and they missed such a wonderful thing.

Seeing that they regretted it so much, Hua Lang couldn't let them spoil their fun anymore, so he smiled and said: "This case has not been solved yet, you will have a chance in the future!" ”

Hearing Hua Lang say this, they became happy, and after being happy, they surrounded Hua Lang and asked if the case was easy to solve.

Hua Lang thought about it carefully and shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not easy!" ”

"But according to the method you said, if you cornered the thief, won't you be able to catch him at the city gate?"

"Ideally, but we can't be sure whether the bandit's purpose was for money, and if he stole the paintings for money, that's fine, but if he didn't, he hid them, and we'll never find them!"

Several people glanced at each other, and they felt that what Hua Lang said made sense, so at this time, Wen Meng hurriedly asked, "Then what are you going to do next?" ”

"I can only wait for news first!"

Waiting for the news is a very confusing thing, a day later, Hua Lang took someone to the government to inquire about the situation, Li Jingan looked anxious, and said: "I have found all the officials, but there is no news at all, this Chang'an City is big, if you want to eliminate it everywhere, I'm afraid it will take time." ”

Hua Lang naturally understands this truth, Chang'an City was the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and its prosperity and complexity coexisted, and it was not easy to find a few paintings.

So Hanalang and the others had to continue to wait.

But they didn't have to wait long for new news, but it had nothing to do with the paintings.

The day after looking for Li Jing'an, a servant went to the inn to report the news to Hua Lang, saying that Cui Jian had been found dead at home.

This news was too shocking, because everyone didn't expect that someone would actually kill Cui Jian.

After hearing the news, Hua Lang did not hesitate any longer, and immediately asked the official to lead them to Cui Jian's mansion.

In the early morning of this day, the weather was comfortable, there were many pedestrians on the street, Hua Lang and others followed behind the official, and hurried to Cui Jian's house, Cui Jian's family and Du Cao's home are almost the same, but Du Cao's only has a pair of skins, but Cui Jian's family is really rich.

As soon as he entered Cui Jian's house, he heard bursts of crying, Hua Lang followed the crying to find it, and saw several women kneeling on the ground crying, and Li Jingan comforted them from time to time, when comforting them, Li Jingan was very anxious, walking around in the courtyard, when he saw Hua Lang, he hurriedly greeted him, and said: "Dude, you are finally here, this matter...... I'm afraid this thing will not be easy to do! ”

There was a homicide, so it was naturally difficult to handle, but Hua Lang was not as anxious as Li Jing'an, he bowed his hand to Li Jing'an, and then said: "Master Li, don't worry, what's going on?" ”

Li Jingan sighed and said: "This morning, someone went to the government to report the case, saying that Cui Jian was killed, I knew it was bad as soon as I heard it, and immediately sent someone to find you, and the official hurried over, the official had asked a few people in the house, and they said that it was Cui Jian's second lady who found Cui Jian's body, and this morning the second lady came to find Cui Jian to get up, but after coming in, he found that the door was wide open, and Cui Jian fell on the side of the bed and died. ”

Li Jingan said, pointing to a woman, the woman was about thirty years old, plump, very charming, but at this time she was crying silently, as if the whole sky was about to fall.

Hua Lang knew that this woman was Cui Jian's second wife, so he comforted: "Please mourn Mrs. Change, now the important thing is to find out the murderer, so that Cui Jian can be buried in the ground, there are a few questions I want to ask Mrs., and I ask Mrs. to answer." ”

The second lady seemed to be quite cultivated, and after listening to Hua Lang's words, she nodded slightly.

"I don't know how many wives Cui Jian has?" After Hua Lang saw the second lady nodding, he asked such a question, and when he asked this question, everyone was surprised.

Although everyone was surprised, they didn't say much else, Wen Meng and others didn't ask because they knew Hua Lang, and Li Jingan didn't dare to ask because they didn't know Hua Lang well enough, the second lady was a little embarrassed by this question, but finally replied: "Two!" ”

"So who accompanied Cui Jian last night?"

"No one accompanies him, my lord's obsession with calligraphy and painting, every night after warming up with our sisters, he then let us leave, and he sleeps with calligraphy and painting."

When everyone heard this, they were so surprised that they couldn't speak, there were two beautiful ladies who didn't let them accompany them, and they actually slept with calligraphy and paintings in their arms, this Cui Jian really had a problem with his brain.

"So did you notice anything wrong with Cui Jian last night?"

The second lady shook her head: "It's not abnormal there, it's just that the lord seems to be preoccupied for the past two days, and sometimes he stays in the house and doesn't come out, but I don't know what the specific thing is." ”

"So has anyone visited your master in the last few days?"

"No, since the last time the master was framed by Du Cao, I haven't seen outsiders again, and the master not only doesn't go out, but also doesn't let friends visit!"
