Quick Transmigration: Losing All Standing and Reputation - Chapter 37

[Chapter 37]

However, Song returned to the mansion and began to analyze all the clues obtained today. Ji Qiong also followed his example and took a piece of paper to analyze the relationship between the characters.

San Yiniang was not very old, but she spoke in a similar manner, and she did not panic when she mentioned the rumored lover.

But Song recalled her expression when she spoke, and when she concluded the rumored lover’s coffin as an old friend, there was not even a trace of anger in the corners of her eyes and brows, as if explaining a common rumor. Song asked her the name of the person, and she mentioned it generously.

After Song Que and his party came out of Chen’s house, they divided their troops into two groups. Officer Chen took Ji Qiong to check on Concubine Bai’s sister, and he took Xiao Bing to investigate Zhao Rong, an old friend of Concubine San Yiniang.

Zhao Rong’s home is not difficult to find, but Zhao Rong is not at home. Song Que and Xiao Bing asked Zhao Rong’s neighbors a lot about Zhao Rong.

Zhao Rong didn’t live on Qingshi Road all the time, he was a newly moved family, and the time was right when San Yiniang entered the Chen residence. The courtyard building of Chen’s house is much higher than the small courtyard next to it, but Song stood at Zhao Rong’s house and looked away from the northwest direction, as if he could see the shadow of Chen’s house.

Zhao Rong’s parents died, and he didn’t ask his wife. He lived in this yard alone, and was lonely and made a living by catching snakes on weekdays. There is only one mountain in the county, and snakes are not common in the mountain. Zhao Rong goes out early every day and returns late. He stays in the mountain for a whole day, and when he comes back, he puts the snake basket in his room. He looks handsome, and he also has a young lady with a budding heart, but because of those hissing snakes, no one dares to really approach him. Zhao Rong didn’t care either, he was alone, and he didn’t like talking to people.

According to neighbors, Zhao Rong never came back after going out yesterday. Although this situation is rare, it has happened in the past. According to Zhao Rong himself, it is because some snakes only appear at night. If you want to catch them, you have to go to the mountains Watch all night.

Song, however, waited at Zhao Rong’s house until sunset and didn’t wait for Zhao Rong to come back. He asked Xiao Bing and the officer Chen who came later to take turns to guard Zhao Rong’s house to see if there was any change. If Zhao Rong came back, he would immediately deduct it. The order was given like this, but Song thought that they couldn’t wait for Zhao Rong tonight.

“Master, eat something before continuing?”

Cheng Bi opened her mouth cautiously, interrupting Song Que’s thoughts, but Song Que put down the pen and asked Ji Qiong to come over for a snack.

Cheng Bi pursed his lips and smiled, put down the food tray, poured a cup of tea for each of them, and then took out the dessert plate.

The dim sum had a pale green paste, with some glutinous rice flour in it. It was fragrant and sticky.

Cheng Bi said: “Young master, you can use it quickly, this thing won’t last well, so it’s best when it’s just out of the oven, but it will harden after a while, so it’s not delicious.”

Song asked: “Then Can’t this cake be made fresh?”

Cheng Bi nodded.

Song Que looked at the cake in his hand, Ji Qiong swallowed the mouth quickly, and asked, “Sir, is there something wrong?”

Song Que said, “Do you remember the little girl next to Bai Yiniang, who held the cake in her hand? It’s just this snack, although it’s a bit arbitrary to guess like this, but Concubine Bai seems to have put this little girl away. You go to check her sister, can you find anything?”

Ji Qiong took the piece of paper that she wrote on, Nodding: “I asked as my husband said. Concubine Bai’s younger sister married a man named Dongsheng. Dongsheng is in his twenties before he will pass the county exam. Now he is still studying at home, and all the money in his family depends on Bai. Shi was doing some small business for food, and he lived a very poor life, so he often had to be helped by Concubine Bai. Because he couldn’t make it through, Mrs. Bai did go to Chen’s house a few days ago to ask Concubine Bai to help, because it was not serious. Relatives, I walked through the small door and only saw Concubine Bai alone, and when I came out, I met Master Chen, and left the house without saying a word.”

Having said that, Ji Qiong paused, as if a little embarrassed and continued to go. Say the same below.

Song looked amused and said, “What’s the matter? The big man is squeamish, what kind of formality.”

Ji Qiong was a little shy, and said, “Sister Bai Yiniang’s appearance is indeed very outstanding.”

He also reached the age of knowing beauty, said This kind of judgment on a woman’s appearance always has the feeling of being a disciple.

Song nodded, and pushed the plate with the cakes in front of him, staring at the two pieces of paper and thinking again.

***

In the early morning of the next day, Song Que went to Zhao Rong’s house, Chen and Xiao Bing guarded for half the night, and they didn’t see Zhao Rong coming back. At this moment, both of them were a little sleepy.

Song was not surprised, or had expected this result long ago, just in case.

“You two have worked so hard, go back to the county government to find a place to rest first.”

Chen clerk said, “This…”

Song patted him on the shoulder and asked, “Do I want you to stay and protect me? ?”

The officer Chen who asked this question also laughed and no longer shied away.

Song, however, let Ji Qiong go to Chen’s house, and only gave him one task, which was to ensure that no one escaped. At this moment, he was the only one standing outside Zhao Rong’s courtyard wall, so he didn’t have to worry about his image.

With his current skills, he said that it was too reluctant to fly over the wall, and the gesture of jumping over the wall was really indecent, but fortunately no one saw it.

Song patted the ashes and jumped off the wall.

There are not many things in Zhao Rong’s yard, and they are placed very casually.

Zhao Rong’s house was small, but Song opened a door at will. It looked like his bedroom. There were several tightly covered baskets on the ground. Thinking of the neighbors’ words, Song probably guessed that these baskets were. What to wear.

He checked them one by one, and there was a distinct smell of snake in the basket, which was in line with Zhao Rong’s occupation. When he picked up the last basket, Song obviously felt that the weight was not right, and his heart sank.

“System.”

It was rare for Song to call the system on his own initiative, and the system, which had always been quiet as if it was dormant, jumped out immediately: “Serve the host!”

Song said: “Baby, I’m a little afraid of snakes.”

System: “…” The

baby came out. It seemed that the host was really a little scared. The system was about to comfort him when Song lifted the lid of the basket, something flew out suddenly, and the system screamed. a sound.

Song Que quickly grasped the seven inches of the snake, and a cold and sticky touch came from his fingertips.

System: “You, you…”

Song Que: “You want to ask me how I did it? Oh, this snake must have been hungry for two days, and its explosiveness is not enough. In addition, my eyes are fast and my hands are fast, so I succeeded in one fell swoop. “The

system didn’t want to talk, but Song still had the time to brag. He didn’t seem to be afraid at all, but he was taken aback by the scene just now.

Seeing that the system ignored him, Song grabbed the snake and enjoyed himself. He really wasn’t afraid of snakes, at most he didn’t like it, but he didn’t talk to the system for too long, and he thought about it a little, so he made fun of it.

Zhao Rong apparently decided to escape temporarily. After the snake was caught, it was left here before it was sold. Judging from the testimony of the neighbors, Zhao Rong left on the day that Mr. Chen’s body was found, and never came back after going out.

Obviously, Zhao Rong didn’t decide to run away. In the days when Mr. Chen had the accident, he was still catching snakes and preparing to sell them. He should have been told to run away. As for the person who told him to escape, whether he was afraid that he would be caught, or whether he wanted to blame him, it is hard to say.

Song Que probed around Zhao Rong’s house again, and found a wooden box where he saved money. There was a double word inscribed in the box, and all the coins were scattered. Got up a lot.

Run away without money?

Song looked again and found that more than half of the box for the thick clothes was empty, and there were traces of hastily used it.

It is early autumn, the day is fine, but the night in the mountains can be very cold.

Song didn’t rush to find someone in the mountains, but he took the snake basket to Chen’s house.

Looking at the basket, Chen Hong couldn’t help being curious and asked, “Master Song, what is this?”

Song smiled but didn’t say a word. Chen Hong didn’t know what medicine he sold in the gourd, but seeing that he didn’t want to explain, he didn’t ask any more questions.

Ji Qiong followed him as early as when he entered the mansion. Knowing what was in the basket, he was very stiff. He carefully avoided the snake basket and stood on the other side. He gave Chen Hong a look of admiration to Chen Hong, who was kept in the dark and was able to talk and laugh.

Chen Hong took someone to find San Yiniang, but Song has yet to identify who is the most suspicious person, but the people he interrogated are obviously suspect, but Chen Hong still treats these aunties equally, and it is a bit of a style. Like Mrs. Chen.

When San Yiniang saw the snake basket in Song Que’s hand, her expression froze, and it took a long while before she regained her senses.

“Master Song, but what else do you want to ask?”

Song said with a smile: “I want you to help me find out what this is?”

After that, Song opened the basket, and Ji Qiong had no ambition to hide away. . Song had just pinched the snake’s seven inches and put a very inhuman restraint on the little guy. At this moment, he was not afraid of hurting people, so he directly lifted the little thing out.

The maid next to her was frightened, and even Chen Hong was frightened by this sudden shock and couldn’t help but take a step back. In the whole room, only Song Que and San Yiniang were not frightened by the snake.

San Yiniang looked at the snake, her expression changed several times, she suddenly knelt fiercely, pulled Song Que’s clothes and said, “Sir, let him go, I killed the master. I asked for the poisonous snake from him. , killed the master. He is just a snake seller. He usually catches non-venomous snakes, and he has no grievances with the master, so how could he harm people?”

Song said, “It’s you. Let him hide in the mountains?”

San Yiniang bowed her head and said nothing.

Song Que said: “You made me believe him, why don’t you believe him yourself?”

San Yiniang heard something wrong, looked up at Song Que, and asked, “…What do you mean by lord?”

Song Que said: “If I say that the murderer is not Zhao Rong, do you still admit the crime?”

The third Yiniang was taken aback: “Who killed the master?”

Chen Hong was at a loss, and said, “Sir Song, what is the meaning of this? Did the third Yiniang kill my father? The real culprit?”

Song Que said: “Don’t worry, Young Master Chen, the truth will surface soon, please stay with me next time.”

Song Que’s request was inexplicable, and Chen Hong just asked: “Is that so? Can you solve the case?”

Song nodded, but Chen Hong didn’t refuse.

Song turned to San Yiniang and said, “Please also ask San Yiniang to walk with us.”

San Yiniang clenched her handkerchief. She could not see the situation clearly now, but she knew that Song Que’s words were not something she could refuse. Mouth nodded.

Song took Ji Qiong, San Yiniang and Chen Hong up the mountain together in order to find Zhao Rong. Obviously, San Yiniang is the person who knows Zhao Rong the most. It is impossible for him to find Zhao Rong in such a big mountain forest.
