Xu Jinsong took the information he had just investigated and hurried into the living room.
Mo Jingxiao was pressing walnuts for Ning Yujin. When he pressed his big palm, the walnut shells were all broken into pieces, but the walnut kernels were completely intact. It was easier to use than any pliers or hammers.
Ning Yujin was watching at the side, and when Mo Jingxiao pushed one open, she picked up the walnut kernels and stuffed them into her mouth, eating them with great joy.
Hearing the excited expression on Xu Jinsong's face, she raised her head and reluctantly gave him a glance: "What did you find during the investigation?"
Xu Jinsong raised a stack of paper in his hand and said: "You really don't know if you don't check it, and you will be shocked if you check it. Do you know? Those few members are just superficial now, and their wealth has been emptied out long ago. The money that was originally piled up
All the goods were sold out at low prices, and all the stores, businesses, and even many houses under his name were sold off."
"Huh? How could this happen?" Ning Yujin also became interested when she heard this, stuffed a walnut kernel into her mouth and asked.
Xu Jinsong said mysteriously: "The reason why they emptied their assets is the key point. You will never imagine that they sold their ancestral home and abandoned all their businesses just to go to Qingming House to have a meal cooked by Mr. Qingming."
"Scared?" Ning Yujin suddenly jumped up from the chair and said with a look of surprise, "Then Mr. Qingming made Tang Monk's meat to make him immortal after eating it? Will you have to bankrupt your family to eat it?"
After saying that, she hurriedly patted her chest and said, "Fortunately we didn't go. If we had gone, we might have sold ourselves into slavery here."
"Just eating something won't break the bank, so I wonder if there are other transactions involved."
Xu Jinsong's idea was reliable, and Ning Yujin couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
"This Qingming Tower is indeed very strange, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with those dead women."
There is still a missing link in this entire chain of evidence.
Just when several people were at a loss what to do, an official came in and reported: "Member Zhao has gone abroad."
"Going? Didn't the housekeeper say yesterday that he had asked the doctor to take a look, is everything okay?" Xu Jinsong's expression suddenly changed, and he shook his robe and was about to go out.
Ran took two steps and then stepped back, bowing respectfully to Mo Jingxiao and Ning Yujin: "I would also like to ask you two to go forward with Xu and give some guidance to Xu."
This is just right.
Ning Yujin clapped her hands and went to pull Mo Jingxiao: "Come on, Ah Xiao, let's go and have a look too!"

"After our master went to that damn Qingming Tower, something didn't feel right when he came back. He was in a trance, and his temper was irritable and violent. Every time, he had to transport a large amount of gold and silver to that Qingming Tower. He said
Went there to eat."
"Damn it, what kind of food requires so much silver? After the bank was emptied, he went to sell the shop. After selling the shop, he went to sell the house. Except for the yard, he sold everything in the house that could be sold."
"Zhao's Mansion looks glamorous, but in this huge house, except for the old housekeeper and the two old ladies I married with, there are no servants left. Now I live on a few dowries. Sometimes
Just thinking about it makes me want to go with this guy who will kill him with a thousand swords."
"Yesterday, he was unconscious after being carried back. After he woke up for a while, he scolded the doctor and refused to allow anyone to see his injuries or report him to the police. He even asked the housekeeper to go to the Yamen to tell him that he was fine.
But he looked like he was okay? We tried to persuade him, but he just yelled and yelled. We couldn't resist him, so we had to do everything we could. But we didn't expect that he still didn't get through this morning..."
Mrs. Zhao told Xu Jinsong what happened while wiping her tears. Her eye circles were red and swollen, and she could tell she was crying a lot.
While Xu Jinsong was recording Mrs. Zhao's confession, he had to offer words of comfort.
But if something like this happens, no matter how much you say to comfort me, it’s just a word. How can the pain in your heart be dissipated?
Ning Yujin looked at the huge Zhao Mansion and sighed at the end: "There is only an empty house left, but it can be regarded as a family with only four walls."
When Xu Jinsong came out, the three of them went back to the Yamen together.
The body of Zhao Yuanwai has been sent back to the Yamen, and Ning Yujin decided to do an autopsy for Zhao Yuanwai.
An autopsy is an extremely detailed and complicated task, especially this time it is a man's body. Before entering, Mo Jingxiao's face turned completely dark.
Ning Yujin repeatedly explained that it was just a corpse, but Mo Jingxiao's expression showed no room for relaxation.
Well, it’s true that other men’s bodies are not very kind to look at. Our Ah Xiao can only take a look or two secretly.
"Let's do it this way. I'll be responsible for checking the surface, and let the clerk from the Yamen work with me, and he'll be responsible for checking other things. Is that okay?"
After Ning Yujin made such a concession, Mo Jingxiao's expression seemed to soften a little and became less like Mr. Bao.
Ning Yujin took this opportunity to rub his arm again, acted coquettishly, and finally got his permission.
However, before entering, you still have to swear again and again not to let your eyes wander or look at things you shouldn't look at!
Ning Yujin immediately raised her palms: "I swear, I will never look around. Is it okay to give me corns if I look around?"
But Mo Jingxiao shook his head and said, "This is not good."
Ning Yujin suddenly made a bitter look on her face: "Then what else do you want?"
Mo Jingxiao said slowly: "You swear, if you look at me randomly, you won't be able to eat anything delicious for a month."
"So cruel?!" This is indeed much more cruel than having corns. Mo Jingxiao has been with her for so long, but he really knows how to pinch her lifeline!
"One month for one month, deal done!" Ning Yujin gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, stunned and high-fiving Mo Jingxiao.
Damn, she really risked her life to solve this case. She must have Xu Jinsong compensate her for everything later!
Ning Yujin, the widower, had seen him in his forties or fifties. He was an old widower, so Ning Yujin knew how to do many things without Ning Yujin having to say them.
Ning Yujin didn't take any action when she entered. Instead, she asked the man to check the body while she watched from the side.
There was no doubt that the external injury was the one the stonemen had hit with a brick yesterday. After the operation concluded that the injury was fatal, they stopped checking for other injuries.
But Ning Yujin said at this moment: "Let's do an autopsy. Maybe the deceased died of other reasons?"
"Anatomy?" The man was startled and said, "But the cause of death has been confirmed, so it's not necessary."
But Ning Yujin shook her head and said to the man mysteriously: "I suspect that Mrs. Zhao poisoned Mr. Zhao to death. You can do an autopsy and see if you can find the poison."
