After marrying wrongly, I became the general's white moonlight

Chapter 124 The Death of Xiaomo
"Xiaomu? Where is this person now? Bring it to me immediately."

When Pei Mo gave an order, someone had already rushed out.

After a cup of tea, the news finally came.

"General, we found Xiao Mu by the river in the west of the city just now, and he has been killed."

"What?" Yan Jingtian was taken aback, and leaned forward, as if he didn't believe it.

The person who came to report replied truthfully: "That's right, Xiaomu's body has already been brought over."

Pei Mo always had a gloomy face. When he heard that Xiao Mu was dead, he felt discouraged and waved his arm casually.

"You go down first."

The servants hurriedly retreated, and Pei Mo bowed his head in thought for a long time.

"Pei Mo, what do you think about this matter now?" Yan Jingtian was also a little undecided at this time, and finally could only turn to Pei Mo for advice.

The clue was disconnected at this moment, and Pei Mo didn't have any clue for a while, so he could only get up and leave first.

"It seems that someone ordered Xiao Mu to do this, and when he knew that the matter was exposed, he secretly killed him." Pei Mo made a rough guess based on the situation he had.

"Now that the person is dead, this clue ends here," Pei Mo said as he walked out. "Let's go back and talk about the next thing. This matter needs a detailed plan."

Back at the General's Mansion, Pei Mo first went to Murong Qing's room to look at her, sat by the bed for a long time, carefully ordered the maid to go in, and then came to the study.

Yan Jingtian was afraid of disturbing Murong Qing's rest, so he didn't go with him and waited in the study all the time.

"How's it going?" Seeing Pei Mo stepping into the study door, Yan Jingtian asked hastily.

Pei Mo sighed, with disappointment in his eyes: "I'm still in a coma, I'm afraid I won't wake up for a while."

But then Pei Mo adjusted his mood and sat down beside Yan Jingtian.

"It seems that the murderer behind the scenes has very strict methods, and he has already dealt with Xiaomu cruelly. I'm afraid there is something behind him."

After listening to Pei Mo's analysis, Yan Jingtian nodded silently, and then put forward her own opinion.

"Perhaps there is some background behind this person." Then he frowned tightly, feeling that this matter was a bit tricky, "The clues have been interrupted now, we want to continue the investigation, but don't So easy."

"Well, it seems that we have to spend some thought." Pei Mo's tone was flat, but his determination was very firm.

In the next few days, Yan Jingtian and Pei Mo used a lot of connections, sent people to investigate in many places, and finally found a witness.

Witnesses were soon arrested at the General's Mansion and interviewed by Pei Mo.

Under the light, the man was kneeling on the ground, his voice stammering, obviously very nervous and frightened.

Under the light, Pei Mo could clearly see that he was wearing a blue coarse cloth, because his head almost touched the ground, and his face could not be seen clearly.

"What did you see that day?" Pei Mogao sat on the chair, naturally transforming into an aura.

"Back to the general, my little one... I know, the person who saw shopkeeper Zhang seemed to call Xiaomu over and secretly said a few words."

"Master Zhang?" After searching in Yan Jingtian's mind, he finally settled on the fat man.

After several days of continuous investigation, using all contacts, and finally found new clues, both of them felt a little bit of surprise in their hearts, like the feeling of seeing the sun again after the clouds and mists were lifted.

It's just that Yan Jingtian was a little surprised when he heard that shopkeeper Zhang was related to this matter.

"Is that the shopkeeper Zhang that we went to rent the place that time?"

Yan Jingtian frowned, after much deliberation, he couldn't figure out why the shopkeeper sent someone behind his back to murder Murong Qing, so he turned to look at Pei Mo.

"But what is he to do with it? What good is it to him?"

Pei Mo couldn't figure out the key point at this time. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then turned his eyes to the witness who was kneeling on the ground.

"When and where did you see the two of them, and what exactly did they say?"

The eyewitness replied: "The villain was so scared that he went home and happened to pass by the river in the west of the city. He saw two people talking there from a distance. When he got closer, he found that it was the shopkeeper Zhang and Xiao Mu."

He thought about the scene carefully, trying to remember more details.

"I know that I remember saying hello to Xiaomu at that time. I saw Xiaomu's expression was a bit unnatural. Although I thought it was a little strange, I didn't think too much about it, and then I left."

This information was very important to Pei Mo, he unconsciously leaned forward, wanting to hear more details.

But to his disappointment, the eyewitness could provide no more information.

"As for what they said specifically, I don't know the little ones, because as soon as I approached them, shopkeeper Zhang's expression seemed to be very vigilant, as if he was guarding someone."

"I thought about what they were discussing, and it had nothing to do with me, so I didn't pay attention and left."

After hearing this, Pei Mo and Yan Jingtian fell into deep thought again.

Seeing that they didn't say a word, the man was afraid that they would question him, so he was even more frightened, and hurriedly kowtowed.

"The general is clearly aware that everything the little one said is true, and he absolutely dare not tell half a lie!"

Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, Pei Mo sent him away.

Only Pei Mo and Yan Jingtian were left in the study.

"Why did you let him go? Maybe he can identify shopkeeper Zhang. Isn't this an extra witness?" Yan Jingtian was puzzled by Pei Mo's behavior.

"According to what he said just now, he didn't hear what shopkeeper Zhang said to Xiaomo. Even if he went to the scene to identify him, I'm afraid shopkeeper Zhang wouldn't recognize him."

Pei Mo had his own considerations in mind.

"Besides, if one more person is involved, there will be more danger. This matter is very unfavorable to him. Since shopkeeper Zhang can kill Xiaomu, he will naturally kill this witness."

After hearing Pei Mo's explanation, Yan Jingtian suddenly realized why Pei Mo called people over at night, and did it so secretly, it turned out to be to protect the safety of witnesses.

He couldn't help secretly admiring him, it seemed that he was inferior to Pei Mo in many ways, and he had to study hard from him in the future.

"There is no evidence now, we can only go to tell the story of shopkeeper Zhang." Yan Jingtian thought for a while and said.

"This is the last resort. We will visit shopkeeper Zhang tomorrow." Pei Mo got up after speaking.

Yan Jingtian also got up to say goodbye.

Early the next morning, the two hurried to Shopkeeper Zhang's place.

Seeing the posture of Pei Mo and Yan Jingtian, shopkeeper Zhang knew that the visitor was not friendly, and he was already a little worried.
