Chapter 99: A Relic That Is Misunderstood?

Su Wei looked at it, and there was a copy of "The Doctrine of the Mean", a copy of "The Analects of Confucius", and a copy of "Li".

"Your Majesty! Another wooden box was found here!"

At this moment, the guard found a square box about one foot long from the bottom of the closet, and held it in front of Han Mo: "I found it at the bottom of the closet. There were a large pile of diapers and baby clothes on it."

Han Mo took it in his hand and weighed it. The box was very light and had a lock on it.He looked around: "Is there a lock key?"

Song Yan took out a bunch of keys from his waist: "The lock key I just found, let's see if it fits."

Han Mo compared it, picked one out of them, and was about to come over to try it. The box had already landed in Su Luo's hands. She seemed to caress it twice, and somehow the lock was taken off. Like witchcraft.

Song Yan was dumbfounded.

Su Wei had already opened the box, and there were indeed some documents and papers in the box, and Han Mo flipped through them one by one, and sure enough, he found three ten tael notes.He showed it to Su Luo: "Did you give it to me?"

Su Wei looked at the words of Baoxiang above, nodded and said: "Yes. Are there only three left?"

"Only three pieces were found in the box. There are also some broken pieces of silver." Han Mo said while pausing.

Su Wei pondered: "The Zhou family and his wife are all people who are open to money. It is reasonable to spend so much money for nothing. There are more than 30 taels left, which is about the same. But they are still well hidden here, yes The gangsters haven't had time to find it?"

"There are traces of turning in the house, but there is not much movement. Is it possible that they searched the house first, and then woke up people, and then gradually started to kill people?" Song Yanti slipped two and pretended to be The drawer of miscellaneous objects straightened up, "All the flipped places are where they can hide things, and apart from this wooden box, there is no valuable thing in the house. There are two ring marks on the left finger of the female corpse, but There is no ring anymore. Based on the current clues, it is almost possible to classify this as a case of profiteering."

Su Luo looked at the drawer in his hand: "What is that?"

Song Yan lowered his head and looked: "Some letters. They were sealed quite tightly, and there were some worn-out pens and inkstones. They were also turned up in a mess."

"The man in Zhou's family can still read?" Su Wei said while picking up the letter in the drawer.I saw only a few short words such as "Yanji" and "Shaoyanji" on the cover of these envelopes.They don't look new anymore. After reading each of them, only a few of them contain letter paper.

Su Luo didn't have the habit of prying into other people's privacy at will, and her hand stopped on the seal and didn't open it.

The brush and inkstone next to it are all dusty, and it looks like it hasn't been used for a long time.

Looking up at the house, there is no trace of the owner's habit of reading and writing.Su Wei also remembered that Aji said that when she was living in the Zhou family, the Zhou family and his wife made pickles every day and went out to help for the day. Obviously, if they were scholars, they would not fall to this point.

Since they are not scholars, why do they have pens and inkstones, as well as these books and letters?

Thinking of this, Su Luo opened several letters with content and took out the letter paper.

What is written on the head is: My apprentice sees the letter and is safe.

This week's man still has a master?
Looking at the writing on this letter again, it is clear and elegant, and it seems that the writing is profound.This has nothing to do with the masculinity lying on the ground before.

She glanced down and pulled it directly to the bottom, only to see that the signature was written: Master Ru's own handwriting.

In the letter, there are greetings first, and then a self-narration of his daily study in the capital, and then at the end of the letter, he answers two questions that the "student" has been asked about. Obviously, this is an ordinary letter between master and apprentice. Communication everyday.But the last paragraph of the letter mentioned "You are in Jinling", which means that the students are in Jinling, but the Zhou family and his wife are natives of the capital. When did they live in Jinling?

...Aji's family is the only one who lives in Jinling and is still studying there. Could these letters be the relics of Aji's father?
But didn't the wife of the Zhou family pack all her luggage for her last time?Why is her father's letter to the teacher still here?

Thinking of this, she opened the rest of the letters, and sure enough, she found the student's name in one of them: Cheng Li.

Aji said that her father's name was Zhou Chengli.

The wife of the Zhou family didn't give Aji's father's relics to her?

She searched carefully and found that there was nothing important in the letter, and the only five letters were daily correspondence between master and apprentice in the same year.But in four of them, the master mentioned Aji's name.It also relayed Zhou Chengli's praise of Aji in his letter, and the master also asked him to take good care of Aji.

So, Aji's mother brought these relics to Beijing, in fact, just to keep Aji in mind?Or, they were going to take refuge in this master whose sincerity can be felt just by reading the words?But why didn't Aji's mother go looking for the person, but left him behind without saying goodbye?

Su Wei pondered for a moment, then raised her head. Over there, Han Mo and Song Yan had almost turned the entire house upside down, and they were finishing the work. It only took half a day, and everything that should be checked was checked. The strength of his actions is evident.

She picked up a piece of furoshiki, put these letters and the pen holder and inkstone in it, and put away the three previous books, making it a burden.Searching around, I stuffed everything with words written on it into the bag.

When Han Mo came back, she explained: "These things belong to my little girl, and they have nothing to do with solving the murder case, so I took them back. The murderer has not been found yet, nor is it sure why the murderer committed the crime. There are clues If so, please let Butou Han tell me."

Han Mo stopped her and didn't let her go: "I've been handling the case with me for half a day, why don't you agree to it quickly!"

Knowing that he was talking about the problem in the Southern Suburb Inn, Su Wei picked up the burden, and after a pause, she said, "If you solve the case within seven days, it's not too late for us to talk about it."

With that, she wrapped his arms around him and went out.

Han Mo stood under the door and watched her walk out of the gate.

I don't know if it was because the corpse was moved away, so there were a lot fewer people watching in the alley.

When Su Luo returned to the carriage, Fusang came up to pick up the package first.Qin Ye leaned on the carriage and paced back and forth, his eyes lit up when he saw her: "You are back! Has the murderer been found? Where did this couple offend the Jiangyang robbers?"

"It hasn't been found out yet. The murderer committed the crime with a butcher's knife. Let's wait for their news later."

After Su Wei finished speaking, she got into the car, glanced at Su Qi who was clearly agitated in the car, and said without a word: "Go back to the house."

Qin Ye said: "Then I will come to you tomorrow!"

After leaving the words, he got on the horse first.

Su Luo didn't comment.Send the coachman to drive.
