Chapter 59 It's Dark Under the Light
"Master!" Seeing Zheng Nian entering the room, Fu Yuhuan sat up with Tong'er's support.

"Lie down." Zheng Nian rushed into the room and sat beside Fu Yuhuan. Seeing such a serious injury, he felt his heart twitching, and asked with concern, "What's going on?"

"Master, according to your description, I went to Liuchun Lane..."

The ins and outs were explained clearly, but the last negotiation between him and Yu Tangchun was hidden.

Zheng Nian took off his shoes and went to bed, crossed his legs, and said thoughtfully, "Wooden man? Can he catch fire by himself? Can he talk? Did you pay attention, is there enough room to hide a person in that thing?"

After recalling various details, Fu Yuhuan shook his head.

"The dead woman only said that she saw Wang Le, the gambler, and a woman named Ling'er on the street?" Zheng Nian asked, "The person who followed them after that must not be Zhou Dong?"

Fu Yuhuan nodded.

"You rest at ease." Zheng Nian patted Fu Yuhuan on the shoulder, "I'll go out for a while."

Squatting on the steps, Zheng Nian looked at the case again.

In addition to Zhou Dong who died of illness in prison, the tailor Zhang and his wife, Que Er, ex-husband Sun Carpenter who had a lot of money, and his colleague in Changle County, the woman from Liuchun Lane last night, the ceiling of Zhou Dong’s house. The guy in the casino.

Eight people in total.

Now all the corpses have been brought back to the mortuary, eight people, only four heads.

It is not yet known whether Wang Yang's husband is involved in this matter.

There are many problems facing Zheng Nian.

Why is the body of Wang Le, the casino guy, at Zhou Dong's house?
He suddenly remembered something, so he turned around and said, "A lot! Do you remember that sparrow's head? There is dust on the hair?"

"It must be there. It's placed on the roof...Master, what do you mean..."

"As much as the dust of the corpse?" Zheng Nian said, "Put it in at the same time?"

"No! Absolutely not! Is there any solidified soil on Wang Le's body, so it must not be... stagnant water!"

"Then it's not Bei'an Temple. The road outside Bei'an Temple is a cobbled road, so there can't be mud with water." Zheng Nian stood up, "The mud with water... incense ash... what if it's a place that sells incense? "

"The incense in Bei'an Temple...is all provided by the miscellaneous goods shop in the south of the city. There are not only incense, but also a lot of things for prayer and sacrifice. It is the Majia Incense Shop in Liufang in the south of the city!" Qian Haoduo said.

"Zeng Guangshou once talked about the Earth Temple." Zheng Nian took off his jacket, "When Xu Zhu comes back, let him go to the Majia Incense Shop and look for the Earth Temple nearby. I'll go to Liuchun Lane."

"Yes! Master!" Qian Haoduo took Zheng Nian's official uniform.

……

Liuchun Lane during the day is not as seductive and blurred as Pansi Cave at night, but more like a quiet alley in the south of the Yangtze River.

Without the inherent pattern of city slab buildings in the capital, they are all small two-story buildings, and the compact buildings are more smoky and rainy.

It's always humid here, and there's a fishy smell in the air.

Looking up, several servants were standing in a room with an open window, which should be the room where the woman died last night.

A large number of consumers who stayed overnight in the morning waited for the end of the curfew to leave. Fu Yuhuan and the wooden man had no evidence to retrieve from the scene.

But what left Zheng Nian with lingering fear was that the other party's sentence crossed the line.

Could it be some big shot?

It is necessary to ask Master Wu Siyan about the wooden man.

After making up his mind, Brother Zheng stepped into the pavilion.

Thinking while walking.

Push open the first door, "Is anyone there?"

"Huh?" There was a drowsy girl lying on the bed, who slowly sat up with the quilt between her legs, "It's so early...who introduced it?"

"Excuse me, where is Ling'er?" Zheng Nian asked.

"roll!"

The girl didn't know what she threw and hit the door.

Zheng Nian came out awkwardly, and went to the door of the second room.

"roll!"

The answer hasn't changed.

When we got to Room No.12, the girl inside finally didn't say get out, but, "Who told you to come to me?"

Zheng Nian breathed a sigh of relief, pushed the door open, and closed the window tightly first, then bent over and walked to the tea table, and sat on the ground.

A series of operations flowed smoothly.

Ling'er rubbed her eyes, her eye makeup was already smudged, and her bellyband was scattered on the bed. She put on a random dress and walked over to sit on the ground with Zheng Nian, asking, "Do you like to play like this?"

"I'm here to ask you questions, not to play." Zheng Nian said.

"No time!"

Ling'er was annoyed, feeling that she had been tricked, and was about to stand up when Zheng Nian coughed, "I am the new Chang'an magistrate."

"My lord~" Ling'er smiled slightly, "You can ask whatever you want, Ling'er knows everything."

Blinking constantly, she didn't seem to realize that her left eye was covered in black mud, as if she had been punched.

Nothing to do with being cute.

Zheng Nian crossed his fingers and asked, "When was the last time you saw Wang Le?"

"Wang Le?" Ling'er was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Master, you are talking about the guy from the gambling house, right? It was five days ago."

Sure enough, at that time Zhou Dong was already in the prison in Chang'an County.

So what Zheng Nian thought at the beginning was not wrong.

Zhou Dong cut off Que'er's head and put it back on the ceiling, just for his own desire, so there was no need for him to kill Wang Le.

"Someone saw you together, what did you do with him?" Zheng Nian asked.

"My lord... what can I do if you come to me?" Ling'er smiled innocently, and pointed to the bed, "Why don't you try it, my lord?"

"When did he leave?" Zheng Nian glanced at the bed, two mice on the quilt were whispering to each other.

"I left in the afternoon." Ling'er said, "When I got up to go to the toilet at noon, he was still there."

"Didn't you meet before you left?" Zheng Nian asked.

"No, I slept very deeply after I fell asleep at noon. I don't know why I felt very uncomfortable, and I slept in a drowsy state until night." Ling'er explained.

"Did he say anything special? Or is this...recent? Earth Temple or something?"

"Earth Temple?" Ling'er thought for a while, then shook her head, "But the day he came to me, he said that he would have money in a few days, and he would marry me then. It's normal for a man to say these things, Every day I meet a few customers who come to persuade me to be good."

"But is this the first time he said it?" Zheng Nian asked.

"Yes, that's why I feel a little strange." Ling'er said.

Zheng Nian asked, "Is Zhou Dong generous on weekdays?"

"It's very generous. The price here ranges from [-] to [-] yuan for one night, but every time Zhou Dong finds Que'er, he always pays him as a base." Ling'er explained.

blame.

These two words flashed through Zheng Nian's mind.

After bidding farewell to Ling'er, Zheng Nian walked out of the room and met Jiang Ming who was looking for him in the corridor.

"master!"

"The deaths of Tailor Zhang and Que'er have confirmed that the murderer is the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, and the murderer of the daughter-in-law and the two carpenters is Zeng Guangshou who is now in prison."

Zheng Nian didn't reply, just talking to himself, mumbling all the way down the stairs.

"It was Zhou Dong who took away Que'er's head, and it was Wang Le, the gambler who took away Zhang's daughter-in-law's head. It wasn't Zhou Dong who followed Wang Le that day, but Wang Le followed Zhou Dong. This kid didn't just want to threaten Zeng Guangshou is alone, and he still threatens Zhou Dong."

"Zhou Dong received his threat, so he chose to report to the official. In a fit of anger, Wang Le put the body and head of Zhang's daughter-in-law, as well as Zhang Tailor's head, all in the oil shop."

"Then who killed Wang Le?"

"Master." Hearing this, Jiang Ming said, "If according to what you said, Zeng Guangshou killed three creditors in order to avoid debts, will someone escape Wang Le's threat..."

"Threat? How can he threaten others?" Zheng Nian shook his head, "If there is such a person, he still needs to know Wang Le's habits, and he also needs to know that Wang Le is threatening Zhou Dong recently, and Zhang Nian About the tailor. Knowing that Queer died..."

The words were only half spoken, and the master and official of Chang'an County opened their eyes wide at the same time.

Zheng Nian ran away, heading straight to Ling'er's room.

When the door opened, there was no one inside!

"Chase!" Zheng Nian was furious.
