That night, Hua Lang and Bai Ji began to investigate all the people in Wuya.

Although the investigation is difficult, it is not very complicated, after all, everyone has heard the screams, and the time of death can be determined.

Even if the murderer played tricks, when the screams occurred, the murderer did not have an alibi at the scene.

The investigation went on for an hour, and after an hour, all the people who did not have an alibi appeared at the scene, a total of five people, three of whom were businessmen, and the other two were generals under Bai Ji.

Of the three merchants, two were in the silk business and had a competitive relationship with Takeoka, and the other was in the ceramics business, and his ceramics were sold to various countries and places.

Two people in the silk business, one of them is called Wang Ji, he is a slightly obese middle-aged man, but although he is fat, he seems to be very strong, he likes to laugh, but his smile has a natural flattering taste.

The reason why he didn't prove it at the scene was because he arrived at Wuya before the evening, and he was so tired, so even if there were a lot of delicious food at those banquets, he still didn't want to participate, and he just wanted to rest quietly.

After learning about these things, Hanarang only smiled lightly and asked a few questions.

"Did you know Takeoka before?"

"I know, but I don't know each other, the two of us have only chatted together and discussed the price of some silk, that's all."

"And have you ever had a conflict?"

"Peers are enemies, and we are naturally wary of each other, but there is no contradiction."

"When you came to Wuya this time, before Wugang was killed, did you meet him?"

"No, I only came at ten o'clock in the evening, and when I came, I went into the house to rest."

"Okay, the last question, what kind of person do you think Wugang is?"

"He is a very shrewd person, and he refuses to give up any interests, even if it is a little small profit, he has to fight, because he is so calculating, so after cooperating with him once or twice, I gave up cooperating with him."

If a person is too calculating, it is indeed very annoying, such a person will be entangled for a long time for who will pay the bill for a meal, and will think carefully about it for any little thing.

Such people, whoever they are, will not like them.

Wugang turned out to be such a person, the corners of Hua Lang's mouth showed a slight smile, such a person is annoying, and it makes sense to be killed.

After letting Wang Ji go down, Hua Lang saw another man who was engaged in the silk business, who was slightly thin, very tall, and his eyes were bright, and he looked very large on his slightly thin face, giving people a shrewd feeling.

His name is Zhou Fa, he has been in business for generations, and in peacetime, he often travels along the Silk Road to other countries to sell silk, probably because he has traveled too many places, and his face has a feeling of wind and frost that others can hardly reach.

Zhou Fa's expression was slightly cold, but he was not nervous, thinking that a person like him had encountered too many things, even if it was a murder, he could maintain an attitude of not being surprised.

The reason why he had an alibi was because after the feast had begun, he was tired of the quarrel and went to meditate under a willow tree in the distance, which may have been a personal habit, but it made perfect sense.

In this world, not everyone likes to be lively, and it can even be said that there are more people who like to be quiet, and they like to be silent when everyone is busy, either quietly watching the hustle and bustle of others, or finding a place for themselves to meditate quietly.

This kind of people are generally lonely, because of loneliness, they don't like to blend into the excitement, or rather, they see through the nature of the excitement in the world, they think that after the excitement, it is more lonely and empty, in this case, then why do they need to join the excitement, and then usher in a deeper loneliness and emptiness?

Hua Lang glanced at Zhou Fa, and then asked, "Do you know Wugang?" ”

"Acquaintance."

"The familiar kind?"

"Not really, but it's just some occasional trade."

"It's really just some trade/"

"It's really just some trade."

"Before coming here today, did you see Wugang?"

"Yes!"

Hearing that Zhou Fa had seen Wugang before, Hua Lang was immediately very excited, and hurriedly said, "How did you see it?" ”

"At that time, it seemed to be before dusk, I passed by Wugang's tent, his tent was opened, I glanced at him, and saw him walking around in his tent, as if he was preoccupied."

"You came up and spoke to him?"

"No, I'm not the first person to speak."

Hua Lang bowed slightly, and said at the end: "The last question, what kind of person do you think Wugang is?" ”

"Selfish, not hesitating to do things that harm others for their own interests."

Zhou Fa's words are very simple and clear, but the meaning is similar to what Wang Ji said, and now both of them have bad comments on Wugang's character, so this Wugang's character is really not good.

After letting Zhou Fa leave, Hua Lang met the last businessman, Ye Sheng, who was in the porcelain business.

Porcelain seems to be the favorite of all people in ancient times, some people use them to watch, some people use them to drink tea, no matter what everyone uses porcelain to do, this kind of thing is in great demand in ancient times, and many porcelain made by official kilns is very valuable, but people like Ye Sheng who do porcelain business want to get porcelain from the people, and then pull it to other countries to sell.

Doing business is like this, but Hua Lang is not interested in these, he is interested in Ye Sheng's alibi, Ye Sheng was asked to prove that he was not on the spot, his face showed a very helpless thing, and he smiled bitterly: "I am ashamed to say it, I got a very precious porcelain in the next year, so I have been appreciating, before I find a buyer, I usually don't leave the porcelain, it was a feast, I was afraid that the porcelain would be damaged, so I didn't leave the house." ”

This reason also makes sense, after all, precious things, no matter who is worried about leaving their sight, not to mention porcelain, which is really easy to be broken.

It's just that, despite this, there is still a suspicion of this Ye Sheng, at least until the matter is completely clarified, his alibi is not fully proven, and his suspicion cannot be eliminated.
