Even though they all wanted to find out the clues as soon as possible, it was already night and it became inconvenient to visit the pharmacy or the Hong family, so they could only give up and return to the inn after sorting out the existing clues.

Before leaving, County Magistrate Wu tremblingly wanted to invite a few people to live in his mansion, but Liu Xiaoran shook her head and refused.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Lu Lingjue kindly told County Magistrate Wu: "Your Excellency never stays in other people's homes when you are away, and it's not just for you."

With Liu Xiaoran's status and status, every time he goes on a diplomatic mission, there are thousands of people who want him to come to his house. It is also good to take the opportunity to build a relationship, but Liu Xiaoran hates this kind of flattering people the most.I was too lazy to respond, and I offended many people because of it.It's just that he acts openly and aboveboard, and never leaves any excuses for others, so even if the group of people are so angry that their heads are smoking, they can only digest it by themselves. The next time Liu Xiaoran goes on a mission again, he has to put on a goodFaces lined up to welcome.

Hello, Master Liu, please go slowly, Master Liu, don't come back next time, Master Liu.

This time, with Lu Lingjue's explanation, Wu Qing didn't feel too embarrassed. After a few laughs, he passed away. After rubbing his hands and watching the three leave, he also wandered back to his house.

Although the case has not been solved yet, since the Shaoqing of Dali Temple is here, he just needs to cooperate well, saving the effort of using his brain to investigate the case, he is quite happy, and even ate two more chopsticks when he returnedWhite rice.

Compared with County Magistrate Wu's broad-minded and fat body, the inn here can be regarded as silent and dignified. Two lives hang on their heads, not to mention Liu Xiaoran, who has never liked to talk, even Lu Lingjue, who is usually at ease, is rarely depressed.

Su Mu looked left and right, and didn't know how to break the deadlock for a while, so he could only push the little snack in front of him to Lu Lingjue's side.

"Don't you usually eat this the most, if you don't eat it today, I will finish it?"

Lu Lingjue managed to regain his energy, stuffed a mouthful into his mouth, and after he swallowed it, he seemed to be in a better mood, and said, "I don't believe you can finish it, who else has such a big appetite here except me?Even you and adults may not be able to eat me better."

"Yes, yes, it must be you rather than cooking."

After hearing this, Lu Lingjue was very proud, nodded in satisfaction, and began to focus back on the food.

Su Mu also looked at the other one. Liu Xiaoran was sitting opposite him. If you said he was eating, he would have moved his chopsticks a few times, but he lowered his eyes.No less, as if this person eats air.

Su Mu glanced at the food on the table. Although it can't be said to be rich, it is definitely delicious. Liu Xiaoran is a person who can eat wontons at roadside stalls. Naturally, it is not because of this that she can't eat it, that is because of it.The clues to the case are not even safe for eating.

Compared to Lu Lingjue, who can strike up a conversation casually, Liu Xiaoran is too close to strangers. Su Mu tried several times to ask people to have a good meal, but all ended in failure.

It's not a good habit to waste food, Liu Shaoqing.

He could only condemn this behavior in his heart, and by the way, once again expressed his admiration for Liu Xiaoran's dedication.

This is really serving the people wholeheartedly.

Although Su Mu is also concerned about the truth of the case, because he has been an extremely optimistic person since he was a child, he believes that there must be traces of contact. Even if the clues seem to be a mess now, he also believes that one day they will be unraveled.

So while Liu Xiaoran was tossing and turning thinking about whether there was any missing clue, Su Mu had already fallen asleep peacefully with her pillow in her arms.

In order to find out as soon as possible, Lu Lingjue was sent to the pharmacy to search for clues about the medicine, and it was naturally Liu Xiaoran who came to the Hong residence in person.

Compared to the friendly and friendly Lu Lingjue, Ding Ziping was at a loss for the unsmiling Liu Xiaoran. She was stunned for a while before remembering that she should invite someone in first, and then ordered someone to bring tea.Waiting for Liu Xiaoran to speak at the seat.

"Madam Ding, according to the Fourth Young Master Hong in the mansion, there seems to be some personal affair between Master Hong and Madam Liang, do you know about this?" Liu Xiaoran asked straight to the point.

Hearing this, Ding Ziping's complexion became even uglier immediately, with many complex expressions appearing on her face, she gritted her teeth and shook her head slowly after frowning for a long time: "No, master, how could he be with...No, no, it must be the fourth brother's nonsense, he has always had some problems with the master."

Even if she said so, both Su Mu and Liu Xiaoran could see that she was uncomfortable, her eyes wandered when she spoke, and she didn't even dare to look at people, obviously a little guilty.

The ancient people valued their reputation the most. If this matter is serious, it is human nature for a wife to conceal it for her husband.

Su Mu pondered in his heart, and turned his head to look at Liu Xiaoran.Sure enough, the latter did not show any surprise.

Ding Ziping doesn't admit it now, so can only change the question.

Liu Xiaoran nodded, and continued to ask: "Yesterday, Madam said that the last time I saw Master Hong was to check the young master's homework. I wonder if you can describe the more specific situation at that time?"The real culprit in this case."

Ding Ziping's hand that was about to reach for the teacup froze in the air, and her expression changed drastically. It seemed that it took her a while to regain her senses: "The real murderer? Master... Didn't the master hang himself to death?"

Su Mu was still looking at Ding Ziping, when he received a glance from Liu Xiaoran, he understood, and explained: "Master has more than one scar on his neck, besides the constriction mark, there is also a strangle mark, so it can be seen that Master HongIt’s not a simple suicide by hanging.”

Ding Ziping froze in place for a long time, then murmured, "There is still a scar...how could it be..."

Seeing that she seemed to be unable to accept this fact, the two people who came to ask questions didn't hurry and waited quietly for a long time.At this time, Su Mu felt a little strange. If an ordinary couple knew that their husband might be murdered, not to mention crying, at least they would be more sad. Although this Mrs. Ding was pale and sweaty,But there was no more sadness.On her body, Su Mu felt more surprised than sad.

This is somewhat unreasonable.

Ding Ziping calmed down slowly, and within a short period of time, her voice seemed a little hoarse: "That day, the master called Nian'an away, saying that he wanted to see his homework, so I followed him.Yes. During the period, the master asked about Nian'an's many performances in the school, and randomly checked some simple questions. Nian'an answered all of them, so he didn't stay longer. About... It's about the time of Xu, so I will send Nian'an off.Ann went back to her room, and then went back to her own room to rest. It couldn't be more ordinary that day-really, there was really nothing worth noting, and I didn't think there was anything wrong."

She looked at Liu Xiaoran, and her expression became a little bit more embarrassed: "If someone wants to harm the master, my first wife really has no way of knowing, and you don't need to ask me any more."

Speaking of this, the two of them couldn't ask any more questions, so they could only get up and leave.

Before stepping out of the threshold, Su Mu glanced back. Ding Ziping, who was sitting on the main seat, was still looking dazed. Even when she was holding tea, she kept her eyes fixed on the front and did not move, showing that she was in a trance.

He muttered in a low voice: "This Mrs. Ding seems to be a little bit out of place."
