Detective Case of Black Belly

Chapter 41: Hongmen Banquet

"This matter is strange." Fu Qing said to Wu Yuyan.

Wu Yuyan rested his hand on the handle of the knife and tapped his fingers a few times, "Then go to Li Mule Lane to check."

Li Jiaozheng said, "To be honest, my mother-in-law only has such a grandson. I really can't believe that she was the one who killed her."

"You don't need to jump to conclusions so quickly." Fu Qing said, "I'll check it out first." Li Jiao nodded and reached out to touch the dog's forehead. He got up and watched the two of them leave.

It would take two to three quarters of an hour to walk to Liluzi Lane. Wu Yuyan glanced at Fu Qing, and Fu Qing seemed to understand what he was thinking, and said, "Although your body is not as strong as yours, these few steps Road, I still can’t get tired.”

Wu Yuyan was caught in his thoughts, and the corner of his mouth curled up. Fu Qing looked at him and smiled himself.In the streets and alleys where people come and go, there are noisy voices all around, walking on the street with Wu Yuyan talking and laughing like this, Fu Qingkai felt that every moment was very happy.

Fu Qingkai had a kind and handsome face, and every time he asked for directions, he was the one who asked, while Wu Yuyan stood aside.No, this time not only asked the way, but also brought back a roasted sweet potato.

"Grandma insisted on giving it to me." Fu Qing held the sweet potato with an innocent face. "I secretly hid the money by her stove."

"Well, well done." Wu Yuyan praised, neither of them noticed the strange tone of the conversation.

Wu Yuyan took the hot sweet potato and broke it in half, wrapped the other half in a handkerchief, and handed it to Fu Qing to open.The golden-yellow sweet potato flesh exudes an alluring aroma of scorched sweetness, and it is emitting white gas. Fu Qing blew on it, bit it down, and said indistinctly, "Go straight, and you will be at Sun Dalang's house after turning another street corner. "

When I arrived at Sun Dalang's house, there was an elderly woman sitting on the threshold choosing vegetables. Fu Qing felt familiar at first glance, and then thought, isn't this the wicked woman from last time?No wonder Sun Gou'er looks so familiar, isn't it just that Sun Gou'er bumped into himself, and then this woman came out and yelled?

Wu Yuyan also recognized it, and he reached out and knocked on the wooden door a few times.The woman was startled by the sound and raised her head. She obviously recognized the two of them, and was a little at a loss.

"My lords, what are you doing?" She rubbed her hands on the waist skirt again and again, looking very cautious.

"What's the relationship between you and Gou'er Sun?" Fu Qingkai slowly walked around the courtyard while observing, there was a main room, and two side rooms on the east and west.

"He is my grandson, ah! What happened to him?!" The woman asked anxiously.

"He's fine." Fu Qingkai replied, and there was a sound of vegetables being thrown into the oil pan from a distance from the back of the house. "Did you give that white sugar cake to your grandson?"

The woman nodded and admitted, but she didn't seem to understand why Fu Qingkai asked such a question.

"Who made that?" Fu Qing stepped into the room, Wu Yuyan followed, and the woman quickly picked up the vegetable basket on the ground and walked into the room.

"My eldest daughter-in-law made it," said the woman.

Fu Qing followed the scent of the vegetables and came to Sun's kitchen. Sun Gao turned his head and saw three figures standing behind him, all the spatulas fell into the pot.

While Fu Qingkai explained his purpose, Sun Gaoshi filled the pot with fish.

"Master Fu thought it was me who poisoned you." Sun Gao's cloudy and sunken eyes swept over Fu Qing, seeming to be mocking, "I made that white sugar cake for my daughter to take to school, my mother-in-law feels sorry for you." Grandson, so I took a piece for my grandson to eat, maybe I want to poison my daughter to death or have the ability to know what my mother-in-law will take?"

"This white sugar cake has only passed through the hands of you, your mother-in-law, Sun Gou'er, and Lin Shitou." Fu Qingkai said.

Mrs. Sun Gao made a thick sauce with familiarity, the iron pot looked heavy, so Sun Gao picked up the iron pot with one hand and poured the sauce on the fish. "Oh? Could it be that I can't do it? Even if you ask my mother-in-law, my mother-in-law won't think so." Sun Gao's tone was indifferent, not like the flustered look that day.

The mother-in-law panicked for a moment, "Well, what my eldest daughter-in-law said is also reasonable. Maybe it's the child who pleases the gods and asked the gods to take it back." She felt that this statement was quite reasonable, and said Still nodding his head.

Fu Qingkai couldn't laugh or cry, usually when Fu Qingkai was asking questions, Wu Yuyan would just watch silently from the sidelines.Sun Gao's complexion was withered and yellow, only a wooden chopstick was inserted into his head, and the corners of his mouth were pulled down, looking bitter.At first glance, it looks like a standard bitter daughter-in-law with a strict mother-in-law.

Such a woman in a khaki top and a dark brown skirt has nails that are dyed aqua red due to leisure.When Wu Yuyan glanced over, Sun Gao slightly shrank his fingers.Wu Yuyan turned his gaze calmly.

When the two of them came out of the Sun's house, it was already the first light of the day.

"Oh?" Fu Qing couldn't see clearly, he tugged on Wu Yuyan's clothes. "I didn't realize she had dyed nails. It really doesn't suit her."

Wu Yuyan paid attention to whether the road under his feet was uneven, and was also careful not to let the people around bump into Fu Qing's drive.

"It's just that I can't see clearly, it's not like I'm blind." Fu Qing laughed and tugged at the hem of Wu Yuyan's clothes. "Take it! It won't fall!"

Wu Yuyan let out a soft 'hmm'.

Fu Qing vaguely saw a familiar figure running towards him, "Master Fu, Brother Wu." It was Jiao San.Fu Qingkai quickly let go, Wu Yuyan lowered his eyes and did not speak.

"Coincidentally, why are you here?" Jiao San asked with a smile.

"Handle the case." Wu Yuyan's voice was a little heavy, and Fu Qing bit his lip.

"Oh, I'll be at my house in a few more steps, do you want to sit down?" Jiao San invited shyly.

"No, I still want to go back and think about the case." Wu Yuyan turned his head to look at Fu Qingkai, asking for his opinion, Fu Qingkai nodded hastily.

The two of them said goodbye to Jiao San, and after walking a few steps, Wu Yuyan noticed that Fu Qingkai wasn't pulling his hem, so he grabbed his hand without saying a word, and stuffed the hem of his clothes inside.Fu Qingkai clenched his hands obediently, secretly looking at Wu Yuyan's stern side face, but did not dare to speak.

Because of Fu Qing's night blindness, and to avoid the taboo of collusion between officials and businessmen, Mr. Wei's banquet is set in the afternoon, so it's fine to invite them to have a snack.Fu Qingkai acted as if yesterday's rift had never happened, and still smiled.Wu Yuyan had no choice but to pretend to be ignorant.

Wei Xi sat on the upper seat with a smiling face, and Wei Wan also sat on the side. 'Strange,' Fu Qing thought happily, 'how could anyone ask his own daughter to come out to accompany the banquet. '

Wei Xi and Fu Qingkai sat on the same side, and Wei Wan and Wu Yuyan sat on the opposite side.Fu Qingkai watched Wu Yuyan pick up vegetables and drink without any joy, and felt a little unhappy.

"Come here, Mr. Fu, have a drink." Wei Xi waited for him holding a wine glass.

"I'm not good at drinking, so I use soup instead of wine, and soup instead of wine." Fu Qingkai quickly declined, took a bowl of sweet soup and drank it all.

Wei Xi chatted with Fu Qing for a few more words, then he put down his wine glass and paused for a while.Fu Qingkai intuited that what he was going to say next was the real purpose of calling them to the banquet this time.

"Master Fu, Wu Tutou is your subordinate, how about his character?" Wei Xi asked softly.

Fu Qing subconsciously glanced at Wu Yuyan, Wei Wan picked up a bright red cherry for him with serving chopsticks, and Wu Yuyan was expressing his thanks.

"Although Wu Tutou looks cold-mouthed and cold-faced, he is actually a rare gentleman with a clear distinction between good and evil." Fu Qingkai said his thoughts truthfully.

"Oh?" Wei Xi stroked his beard, "I heard he's not married yet."

"Indeed not." Wei Xi's words made Fu Qing happy and unhappy.

"What do Master Fu think of the little girl?" Wei Xi asked.

A wave of anger rushed straight to Fu Qing's forehead, "That daughter? The one in the prison, or the one opposite?" He, who has always been gentle and reserved, actually said such harsh and sarcastic words.

Wei Xi couldn't hold back for a moment, and changed the topic and said some other nonsense. Fu Qing couldn't hear clearly, but felt his stomach was overwhelmed.

He clutched his stomach and frowned, Wu Yuyan noticed it immediately, and walked over quickly.

"What's the matter, are you uncomfortable?" He asked softly.

Wu Yuyan's tone was gentle, and Fu Qingkai wondered if he had talked to Wei Wan like that just now, felt aggrieved, and felt uncomfortable all over, so he nodded with difficulty.

Wu Yuyan helped him up, "Master Wei, Mr. Fu is not feeling well, let's go back first."

"Since my lord is not feeling well, it's better to rest at home." Wei Wan said softly.

Fu Qingkai shook his head vigorously, Wu Yuyan hurriedly said, "No." He nodded at the Wei family's father and daughter, "Farewell." He walked out of the Wei residence with Fu Qingkai.

"Is it hard?" Wu Yuyan asked.

It was just because of the cold air rising up in the stomach for a while, but now it is not so uncomfortable.Fu Qingkai was a little embarrassed, but kept his mouth tightly shut and did not speak. Seeing this, Wu Yuyan helped him into a remote path, and immediately picked him up.

The sudden jump into the air made Fu Qingkai startled, he hugged Wu Yuyan tightly to prevent him from falling. "Is it still uncomfortable?" Wu Yuyan asked looking at his panicked look.

Fu Qing lowered his head and stopped talking.

Wu Yuyan hugged Fu Qingkai's waist, put his arms under Fu Qingkai's buttocks, and pressed him against a thick tree trunk.

"What's the matter?" He asked relentlessly, "Why are you suddenly angry?"

Fu Qingkai was extremely embarrassed by this posture, "Put me down!" Fu Qingkai said.

Wu Yuyan, who was always obedient and obedient, did not agree to him this time, and even tightened the arm that was restraining him.

Wu Yuyan's abnormal behavior made Fu Qingkai a little scared, and thinking about what happened at the banquet just now, Fu Qingkai was even more wronged, "I'm not angry." He said with a little imperceptible cry.

Wu Yuyan's heart was about to soften, but this time he couldn't let Fu Qingkai go as easily as before. If he said it, he would say what he really thought in his heart!
