Pretending to be jealous in the arms of Dali Temple

During tea time, the shopkeeper hurried back with two boys.

"Master Su, these are the two little apprentices who worked in our porcelain workshop before."

Wan Yan looked at the two of them, she was thin and not tall, she said they were fifteen or sixteen years old, they looked like little stones.

The two stood in front of Su Jizhi, pushing and shoving each other in fear, "My lord!"

"You don't need to panic. Boss Zhang's case is still under investigation. I came here to learn more about the situation."

The boy with a slightly dark complexion was a little anxious: "Master Su, the official has visited us several times in the past few months, and I have told the truth. My current boss is very strict, and I cannot leave for too long."

"So let's make a quick decision." Su Jizhi asked with a smile: "Since the government has come to ask several times, and I have read the files, it will be meaningless to talk about what I said before."

Wan Yan looked at Su Jizhi in a daze.

With a smile in the corner of his eyes, the lord said teasingly: "Now you each tell three different clues from the past, and leave after you say it. I will never ask more questions."

The two boys were a little confused.

Su Jizhi pointed at the black-faced boy and said, "Speak up, you can leave after you finish speaking, and I won't delay you."

"This...I..." The boy pursed his lips, looked at this and then that, pointed to the backyard and said in a low voice, "Boss Zhang treated us well, but he likes to inquire about things, and he also likes to lock himself in the room without knowing what to do." , he also kept a lot of pigeons, but he didn’t eat them.”

The boy was categorical: "I don't know if these count, I have never said these words before."

Su Jizhi smiled, and asked another boy, who was much calmer than the boy just now.

He lowered his head and said in a loud voice: "Boss Zhang likes to make friends, and he is also generous. Several times I ran errands and gave me a few extra pennies. The boss is very kind to Aunt Xiuhua and often sends things, but..."

The boy scratches his head.

"What's wrong? What else can't you say?"

All eyes were on the boy.

He smiled: "I can't say it well, but I have seen Boss Zhang laughing with other women besides Aunt Xiuhua."

The shopkeeper let out a sigh of relief, and looked at Su Jizhi: "Master Su, do you think what they said is useful?"

Su Jizhi smiled and waved at the two boys: "Okay, let's go."

Relieved, the two boys pushed their way out the door.

Su Jizhi looked at the shopkeeper, and then answered his question just now: "It's still the same sentence, everything is pending, so don't worry the shopkeeper. Master Wang must have arrangements for the porcelain workshop."

The shopkeeper sighed, and Su Jizhi continued to comfort him: "Master Wang here must have a plan to solve Zhang Kairong's case. You have hard work and no credit."

The shopkeeper shook his head, and smiled unconvincingly: "It's helpless, Mr. Su, Mr. Wang also asked Mr. Wang to give me some kind words. There is no income for such a waste here, and the small ones can't live."

Su Jizhi nodded: "Don't worry, I will bring this matter up with Mr. Wang when I return to the government office. You should think about it at the Porcelain Workshop. The most important thing is for us to solve the case as soon as possible."

Su Jizhi spoke with sincerity, and the shopkeeper nodded frequently.

"By the way, I also saw the group of pigeons that the little apprentice mentioned in the backyard just now, are you feeding them now?"

"Yes." The shopkeeper said with a sad face, "Boss Zhang likes this group of pigeons. He used to raise them like babies when he was here, but now no one cares about them. I still look at the yard, so I had to take over the job."

The shopkeeper sighed frequently: "It's really annoying, Mr. Su. In the past, Boss Zhang let them out, and I didn't know how to do it, so I had to close them and feed them. I found that the pigeons are very irritable now, but what can I do!"

Su Jizhi looked past the window and only saw a corner of the pigeon coop. He looked away and looked at the shopkeeper: "I just saw Boss Zhang's room. Are all his daily necessities here?"

"Yes." The shopkeeper looked surprised.

"Do you clean his room every day?"

The shopkeeper curled his lips: "Master Su, I'm not going to say something nice. Who would dare? Boss Zhang is gone. I can't wait to leave here,"

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth: "If it wasn't for feeding the pigeons, I wouldn't even go to the backyard."

Su Jizhi smiled, "Okay, I said earlier that Boss Zhang doesn't live here often, and has all his daily necessities been sent to Zhang Xiuhua?"

The shopkeeper shook his head, "Then I don't know, it seems... I haven't seen Boss Zhang take things away."

"Just now, the little apprentice said that the boss will associate with some women. What do you think of this?"

"Well," the shopkeeper smiled, "The boss is a businessman, of course he has contact with many people. I don't know why the apprentice said that, but I didn't find out. I think the boss treats everyone the same."

Su Jizhi has almost finished asking, and looks at Wan Yan. Now that they have formed a tacit understanding, Su Jizhi stops asking questions, and usually asks Wan Yan to ask for clues according to her train of thought.

Wan Yan looked at the shopkeeper lightly, and pointed to the pigeon coop outside the window, "Shopkeeper, I like small animals very much. How long has Boss Zhang kept pigeons?"

"For many years, he has been raising him since I knew him."

"But I know that pigeons have special habits and recognize their owners very much. If you feed them now, the pigeons don't respond?"

This sentence came to the shopkeeper's heart, as if he had met a bosom friend, the shopkeeper said eagerly, "Why not? The girl is so right. I just said that they are irritable. They are really irritable. Fortunately, I also fed the boss Zhang when he went out before. them, otherwise the pigeons would have died."

Su Jizhi looked at Wan Yan, the little girl surprised him again, she even knew a thing or two about feeding pigeons.

Wan Yan smiled, "I only know fur. I saw that boss Zhang's pigeons are homing pigeons. He raises them just because he likes them?"

The shopkeeper blinked and asked curiously, "Carrier pigeons? These pigeons have been here since I came to the porcelain workshop, and I never asked Boss Zhang. I don't understand what the girl said."

Wan Yan nodded, the shopkeeper was very honest, she asked the adult for about half an hour, the shopkeeper's eyes were clear, he said something, he was not a liar.

The two walked out of the porcelain workshop, and the shopkeeper told Su Jizhi to solve the case as soon as possible, and asked him to seek an explanation from Mr. Wang.

Su Jizhi and Wan Yan knew that the shopkeeper was standing at the door of the porcelain shop watching them, so they straightened their backs and walked along the road without looking sideways.

It wasn't until they turned the corner that Wan Yan felt relieved and asked Su Jizhi anxiously, "My lord, how do you feel?"

Su Jizhi also had a lot to ask Wan Yan, but when he looked back, the shopkeeper had disappeared, so Su Jizhi said, "Zhang Kairong has a problem."

"Is it? I suddenly felt the same way."

Su Jizhi stared at Wan Yan, "Carrier pigeons! Are you sure Zhang Kairong's pigeons are carrier pigeons?"

"I can't be [-]% sure. When I was young, my neighbor's house raised a flock of pigeons, and I even fed them. I have a little understanding of this."

"This is enough. I asked the shopkeeper just now, and he said that Zhang Kairong didn't ask him to feed the pigeons when he left, which means that Zhang Boss knows that he will return soon."

"This also shows that Zhang Kairong's death was an accident."

"Yes, it also shows that Zhang Kairong's business in Bao'an Mansion has been arranged, and he can return after paying the money in the past."

Wan Yan stared, "My lord, if you say that, I didn't find anything wrong with it."

Su Jizhi looked into the distance, as if trying to grasp some thoughts, "It's still silver, let's go see Zhang Xiuhua right away and listen to what she has to say."
