Chapter 38 Wu Qian

Liu Laoba is honest and honest, and is a timid person. He is already very regretful when he entered the government.

But now that Zhao Rong asked again, he did not dare to hide anything, so he had to stammer with fear and stammer, "The villain Liu Laoba is selling clay pots in Dongcheng. When he heard that the adults tried the homicide case, he remembered the situation on the eve of the previous one, which was very suspicious. So he came to tell the adults."

Zhao Rong didn't force him, and asked with a gentle expression, "How is the situation on the eve of the past? Let's talk carefully and listen to me."

Liu Laoba recalled, and said, "The little man lives next to the Liu family. The night before, the little man was unwell and went to bed early. He got up at night and drowned. He squatted in the toilet behind the house. He heard someone screaming. The little man was so scared that he thought there was a ghost."

Zhao Rong asked, "Where is the place behind your house?"

Liu Laoba said: "It is a small path. One end connects to the East City Gate and the other end connects to the Qian Street."

Zhao Rong asked again: "What time is it?"

Liu Laoba thought, "The villain doesn't remember the details very clearly."

Zhao Rong asked again, "Apart from this, are there any other abnormalities?"

Liu Laoba replied honestly: "There were some sounds later. The villain didn't dare to listen too much. He coughed loudly to boost his courage. Then, he hurried back to his room to sleep. Yesterday, he heard of the murder on the street. When I got home, I thought about it carefully, and thought that the sound seemed to be a tearing sound."

Zhao Rong thought to himself that the sound of fighting that Liu Laoba mentioned was probably the movement that happened before Liu was killed. What's worse, it might be where Liu was killed.

So, without thinking, Zhao Rong asked Liu Laoba to take him to investigate.

Liu Laoba led Zhao Rong out of the government office, passed through the neighborhood, and turned into a narrow path. The road was covered with weeds and dense trees. He walked windingly. After a moment, a house was hidden in the woods. It was Liu Laoba's house. The road was divided into one branch and the other branch extended forward. Liu Laoba pointed and said, "It's in front."

Everyone walked a few more steps forward and turned to the back of the house, but saw the small road in front of them. Liu Laoba said, "I guess it's here." Zhao Rong ordered Liu Laoba to stop and leaned over to look around. Suddenly, there was something abnormal on the left side of the small road, but the grass and trees were broken and there were signs of falling, which were obviously caused by heavy objects.

Seeing this, Zhao Rong's heart moved.

However, Zhao Rong was still silent on the surface. He continued to bend down and searched carefully in the grass. After searching for a while, he suddenly saw a flash in the grass, as if something was there. When he opened it a look, he found that it was a hairpin.

Zhao Rong wondered: Could this hairpin be the object of Liu's body?

In this way, when Liu Laoba heard the sound of exclamation, it was the sound of Liu's murder. On such a dark night, what did Liu come here? Should he make an appointment with someone? Or was he ambushed by someone passing by? After the murderer plotted to murder Liu, he was frightened and afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he moved his body elsewhere? Was the murderer the man who had promised Liu Laoba? Or had he had murderous intentions and followed him secretly? Or did he meet unexpectedly and suddenly had evil intentions?

Wei Que, Captain Xing and others who followed Zhao Rong were all smiling happily. Captain Xing even smiled, "Sir, it seems that this is the place where Liu was killed."

Zhao Rong did not dare to assert that, he continued to push away the weeds and searched around, and suddenly he saw some white powder in the grass, of different sizes and lengths, either like one or two grains of rice, either in crystalline or powdery shape.

Zhao Rong carefully picked it up, placed it in his palm, and identified it left and right.

After a while, he wrapped it up in a handkerchief and placed it in his sleeve, but he didn't say what it was.

Wei Que and others were curious, but Zhao Rong didn't say anything, so they had to follow Zhao Rong out of the path. When they returned to the street, they heard Zhao Rong ask, "Where is the Liu family?"

Liu Laoba said: "To the right side of the path, you can reach this avenue for a moment, and his home is behind the neighborhood."

Zhao Rong said intimately: "So that's it."

With the confusion in his heart and new discoveries, Zhao Rong asked Liu Laoba again, "To the left side of the small road, which road can lead to the great road? Liu Laoba said: "There are many families ahead, and the head of Wu Yuanwai's family."

Zhao Rong said: "What name is Wu Yuanwai called?"

Liu Laoba said: "Call it as Wu Qian."

When Zhao Rong heard "Wu Qian", he remembered the leader of the Wu clan whom he saw in the abandoned house yesterday. He thought to himself, he was Wu Yuanwai. Could it be that the case was related to him? Thinking of this, Zhao Rong laughed in his heart: Since he was deciding the case, his suspicion became increasingly serious, just like the boy Wei Que, who was like a thief when he saw everyone, and he was still amused.

Because there was no more specific discovery, Zhao Rong thanked Liu Laoba, took Wei Que and Captain Xing, and walked along the avenue, turned around the woods. His eyes lit up, but he saw a large mansion. It must be the home of Wu Qian and Wu Yuanwai.

The mansion has high walls, and the eaves and green tiles are visible among the trees inside the wall. A small stone path connects the mansion and the avenue. The garden door is closed, and it turns out to be the back garden. I guess the main entrance of the mansion is facing the neighbors.

Zhao Rong suddenly heard the barking of a dog, looked around and saw no one. The avenue extended along the high wall, and walked not far to connect with the meadow road through the street, and then headed west.

Zhao Rong looked into the distance and guessed that from the scene behind the Liu Laoba family, there was about a mile from the crime scene. Zhao Rongli was at the intersection of the two roads. While thinking about it, he vaguely heard the sound of reading aloud, so he left after searching for the sound.

It turned out to be a private school.

The private school is at the intersection of the street, and there are still three or four families around. Zhao Rong stood in front of the private school. When he looked up, he saw four regular characters on the plaque of the private school: Mingde School.

The word "Mingde" should come from "The Great Learning". The beginning of the article says: The way of university lies in the bright virtue, the people, and the ultimate goodness. The font is vigorous and powerful, but unfortunately it lacks a little momentum, which seems to be copying Cai Xiang's book.

Zhao Rong smiled at his left and right and said, "This word is too clumsy, which is arguing that it is not transformed. Cai Junmo has high talent, profound knowledge, and has corresponding heart and hands, and has endless changes. He is the best in this dynasty. Even if he learns it, he will lose his spirit even if he gets the form."

Wei Que and Captain Xing are big and rude, so they can only smile awkwardly.

Zhao Rong felt bored, so he stepped over the threshold and walked into the private school. He heard the students inside say in unison: "The Master said: 'Good people teach the people for seven years, and you can also fight.' The Master said: 'If you don't teach the people to fight, this is called abandoning them.'" He also heard someone say: "If you are peaceful, you will serve the people, and if you fight, you will be a corps. If you are prepared, you will be free of trouble. If you are at peace, you will be worried about danger."

Zhao Rong seemed a little familiar when he heard the voice. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Wei Que reminding him in the back, "Sir, it seems that it is Wu Qian, the leader of the Wu clan."

What a coincidence!

Zhao Rong thought about today's discovery in his heart, and couldn't help but continue listening.
