daughter-in-law next door

"Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me."

Su Jinshi's complexion was a bit grim, but he understood what he meant. Although they had met a few times, they were not familiar with each other. Lu Ning looked like a cold-tempered person, so he was not very surprised to have this meaning , but he didn't expect him to say it so bluntly.

When Lu Ning saw Su Jin, he stopped talking, and he continued to practice his sword, with a kind of cruelty in every move.

Su Jinshi sighed, but did not leave. Instead, he sat on the steps and watched him practice the sword, silently remembering his moves in his heart.

After watching for a while, Tang Yaxin also went out. Seeing Su Jinshi watching Lu Ning practicing sword, she also sat beside Su Jinshi and said with a smile, "Do you think he is very powerful?"

Su Jinshi smiled, and said without hesitation, "That's right, I just asked him for advice, but he refused to teach me. I thought that after we separated from you, Nian Su and I didn't have a man around, so I wanted to learn." A few tricks will come in handy at that time."

Su Jinshi originally thought that Tang Yaxin would help her persuade Lu Ning, but Tang Yaxin smiled awkwardly and said, "Lu Ning is just like that, you just leave him alone."

Su Jinshi pursed her lips, and didn't continue to dwell on this topic. She looked carefully at Lu Ning's moves again, silently gestured in her heart, and said, "Don't watch it, let's go have breakfast, I'm starving to death!"

Tang Yaxin seemed to be relieved, nodded, and left with Su Jinshi.

Not long after they left, Lu Ning put away his sword and looked in the direction Su Jinshi left for a long time.

After breakfast, Nian Su arranged Xiaodouzi to the housekeeper in the mansion, and went out with Su Jinshi.

It was still five people who acted together. Yesterday Tang Mingze learned some news about the previous cases from Gu Mingde, and they planned to investigate some things about the previous cases.

Because similar cases happened a few years ago, and Gu Mingde has only been an official here for a year or two, so many details are not clear.

The previous payer, Chen Yuanting, had just retired for half a year and was living in Fengcheng for the elderly. After a little inquiring, the group found out where Chen Yuanting lived.

Since Chen Yuanting was an official, his family background was not good, and he lived in the same house as ordinary people. Because he was clean and honest when he was an official, many people gave him things after retirement.

The five people came to the place where Chen Yuanting lived, but they saw that he was already graying at the temples, drying things in the garden.

Su Jinshi looked around quietly. This house was a very ordinary house. What interested her was Chen Yuanting's neighbor. The owner seemed to be a doctor. There were some herbs drying in the yard, and there was a faint smell of medicine in the air.

Chen Laosui is old, but his body is still very strong, and he speaks with full of air.

"It turns out that you are here to understand the case."

When Mr. Chen spoke, his gray beard was up and down, and his eyes were very bright. Su Jinshi immediately thought of Su Xin, and she remembered that Su Xin also spoke like this.

The beard is up and down, very interesting.

In a flash, Tang Mingze and the others followed Mr. Chen into the house, and Su Jinshi also quickened his pace to walk into the house, but when she reached the door, she always felt that someone was staring at her. She turned around and looked around, but she didn't. to people.

"Jin Shi, come in quickly!" Tang Yaxin shouted towards the door.

Su Jinshi frowned, and trotted into the house.

A group of people came to Chen Lao's study room. The room is not big, but the study room is very spacious. Su Jinshi asked casually, but Chen Lao sighed with a smile, "I'm used to it, and I can't change it."

Mr. Chen took out some things before a summer vacation, but did not give them to Tang Mingze immediately, and put them on the table. He said, "Although your intentions for coming here have already been made clear, and there are official documents from Mr. Gu as evidence, but these are already If these last pieces of evidence are lost, the grievances of those girls in the past will never be healed."

Su Jinshi looked at Chen Yuanting, and saw that his face was serious, and he sighed in his heart. This old Chen really cared about the common people.

I only heard Tang Mingze say: "Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely solve this case."

Mr. Chen shook his head, "Someone said this to me before, but it turned out to be nothing in the end. This is the last evidence, and I will definitely keep it. How about it, you guys will put these things here. Copy it again, you see that there are quite a lot of you, and it won't delay too much time."

Tang Mingze frowned immediately when he heard this, "Master Chen, this...we have other matters to investigate, if we spend so much time here, I'm afraid..."

Old Chen glared at Tang Mingze, and the beard on his mouth was raised again, "I'm afraid of what? I'm afraid that the murderer will escape? He hasn't escaped for so many years, so he still cares about this little time?"

Tang Mingze fell silent, but Su Jinshi couldn't help laughing, this old Chen was a little interesting.

In fact, they do not have any clues about the murderer now, the biggest clue probably lies in Mr. Chen, if he deliberately wants to waste time, they have nothing to do.

Tang Yaxin became a little angry when she heard this. She was about to speak, but was caught by Lu Ning. Lu Ning shook her head slightly at her, and Tang Yaxin took a step back unwillingly.

Seeing this scene from the corner of his eye, Su Jin raised his eyebrows and didn't speak.

Seeing the hesitant looks on the faces of several people, Mr. Chen snorted coldly, picked up those things, turned around and put them on the table.

Seeing this, Tang Mingze sighed, "Master Chen, please bring the things here, we will copy them."

"Brother!" Tang Yaxin called out with some dissatisfaction.

Old Chen frowned and looked at Tang Yaxin, and said, "It seems that some people don't want to copy it, so it's okay, I'll take it back, you guys can go too."

Seeing Mr. Chen's attitude, Tang Mingze quickly greeted him with a smile, "Master Chen, don't be angry. My sister has been spoiled for a long time. If I offend you, I apologize here."

After leaving the steps, Mr. Chen also put down the things. He took out the pen and paper and said, "Just copy it here."

Tang Mingze didn't say much, went forward, picked up those things and distributed them. Because he couldn't read at a young age, he asked her to grind ink, and the other four were assigned tasks.

In Su Jinshi, Tang Mingze and Lu Ning started writing without saying a word, but Tang Yaxin was still a little depressed, holding a pen and writing very weakly.

The four wrote it together, and it was completed very quickly. After this copying, several people had a new understanding of the case.

Mr. Chen's intentions, Su Jinshi can understand a thing or two. He asked them to copy, probably to let them understand the case more deeply. I have to say that although this method is time-consuming, it is excellent.

Su Jinshi only copied a quarter, not much content, she turned to Tang Mingze, "What did you learn?"

Tang Mingze smiled, but didn't speak. He put down his pen, walked up to Mr. Chen, clasped his fists at him, and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen has good intentions, but this junior misunderstood."

Mr. Chen glanced at him, breathed out his nose, and said, "Let's go after copying."

Su Jinshi and Nian Su sorted out the excerpted things, and after hearing what they said, they were not ambiguous, took the things, thanked them, and left.

As far as Su Jinshi just excerpted, it is not difficult to see that these cases have one thing in common, the victims are all widows in Fengcheng, and the strange thing is that these widows have a good reputation.

On the way back, Tang Mingze and Lu Ning also talked about what they found, which was exactly what Su Jinshi thought.

It's just that she is a little strange. If it is a widow with bad conduct, these widows have a good reputation. In addition, the victim this time, although the victim's mother-in-law said it was not good, but from the description of the neighbors, this person It is also a good reputation.

Naturally, she wasn't the only one who wondered about this question, Tang Mingze and Lu Ning couldn't figure it out either.

Although there are more clues, they still know nothing about the murderer.

At this time, Tang Yaxin, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said: "I just saw a portrait of the murderer..."

Tang Mingze stopped in his tracks, and said loudly, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"I see that you are all very focused on your own affairs, so I didn't say anything. Besides, the portrait of the murderer is ambiguous, so it won't be of much use." Tang Yaxin's voice was weak.

Lu Ning said in a deep voice, "Miss, have you drawn the picture yet?"

Tang Yaxin nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "The painting is done, but I didn't draw it very well. The portrait of the murderer has no special features, plus my artist..."

Tang Mingze raised his forehead. He knew exactly what Tang Yaxin's painting skills were. He sighed, "Forget it, if the portrait of the murderer was useful, the murderer would have been caught long ago. How could there be another murder."

Su Jinshi thought the same way, but Lu Ning was obsessed with getting the picture in Tang Yaxin's hands. Tang Yaxin had no choice but to take out the picture she drew.

Su Jinshi leaned over to take a look, and couldn't hold back his voice. This level is almost the same as hers...

Shouldn't this ancient lady be proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?Why is Tang Yaxin different?

Both Tang Mingze and Su Jinshi couldn't bear to look directly at her painting, but only Lu Ning looked at it seriously. He frowned as if he could see the original portrait from this painting.

After a long time, Lu Ning said, "I seem to have seen this person before."

Tang Mingze showed joy, and asked quickly: "Are you sure? Yaxin said that this portrait is not distinctive, and the government has been searching for it for so long but couldn't find it. Have you really seen it?"

Lu Ning nodded, "I've seen this person before, but I can't remember where I saw him."

Su Jinshi was a little suspicious, but she didn't say anything. She looked at Lu Ning and Tang Yaxin quietly, and she always felt that there was something between these two people.

"Yaxin's paintings are only understood by you." Tang Mingze laughed, feeling very happy.

Tang Yaxin blushed a little, turned her head to look to the other side, and the corners of Lu Ning's mouth rose slightly.
