Dali Temple Small Dining Room 2

The dossiers seconded by the county government did not record in detail, and it is extremely difficult to trace the incident after many years. The officials who handled the case and the relevant people are no longer alive.

Lin Fei made some inquiries, and found that the only person still alive was Mrs. Lu, who was an important witness back then.

He wants to find out the truth, but he is not unreasonable.

Mrs. Lu has a special status, and she has the grace to save Mrs. Hou's life, not to mention that the case back then was too cruel. Every time Mrs. Lu recalled it, it would be a great harm to Mrs. Lu.Therefore, as in ordinary cases, it is not appropriate for people to testify and recall the past events over and over again in this case.

If Lin Fei hadn't accumulated enough evidence, he would not have casually sought out Mrs. Lu to remind her of the nightmare of that year.

"Master Xing is from Sichuan and Sichuan," Lin Fei said, "Originally he opened a restaurant with a good reputation and business in the local area. At the beginning of this year, he suddenly closed the restaurant he had been in business for many years and went to Beijing. I heard that he came to Chang'an City to make a living through someone's introduction."

This so-called way of making a living, because of his good relationship with Liang Hongjin, Wen Mingtang also knew the inside story by accident: it was to become a cook in Ganzhiwei's official kitchen.

It's not that there is anything wrong with this business, Wen Mingtang himself also eats public meals in the public kitchen of Dali Temple, and is very satisfied with his current life.

It's just that Wen Mingtang is an orphan, she just came out of Yeting, she has nowhere to go, and she has nothing but a little money saved in the palace for many years, compared with the two, Yu just wants to live a stable and ordinary life. For Wen Mingtang who doesn't have to worry about making a living, this public cook is a good place to go.

But for Master Xing, who has been operating in his hometown for many years and has built a good foundation, he hastily threw away everything and went to Beijing. After Beijing, he just went to work as a cook in the public kitchen. Compared with the large-scale business he had already run, he obviously lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds.

Lin Fei nodded and said, "Judging from Master Xing's reaction, maybe he wanted to find people and things related to this case through Mrs. Lu."

"Where's Master Xing's family?" Wen Mingtang asked after thinking about it.

Just as he was thinking like this, Lin Fei's voice sounded again in his ears: "I may often ask for leave these days. It's very chaotic outside. It's night, so don't just wander around."

Lin Fei nodded in response, and then said: "Master Xing often goes to the market to buy, and the servants in the mansion said that he inquired about the name and background of 'Hu Siming' several times. I will subconsciously take a look at Hu Siming."

Because Mrs. Lu is not feeling well, she can leave early today, finish work early, and go shopping at the market on the way back.

There was obviously something in this sentence. Wen Mingtang heard the words, thought about it seriously, and asked Lin Fei: "Lin Shaoqing, but maybe the murderer in this case will kill people outside at will?"

It was another matter that made Lin Fei notice Master Xing, but sent someone to investigate.

Putting the finished bowls and chopsticks on the table, Lin Fei looked at the girl who was sipping soup, thought for a while, and said, "Thank you for today's matter, Master Wen, the banquet is over, Master Wen will go back earlier Bar!"

"Since Master Xing came to my house, he was very particular about eating ingredients, so he often went to buy ingredients himself," Lin Fei said.

"Maybe the death of Guanshi Mao has nothing to do with him, but his hand injury is not as simple as he said." Lin Fei said, "Under various chances and coincidences, I checked Master Xing, and he came to Beijing for no reason, and it was inexplicable He suddenly gave up his job as a public cook and transferred to my house, I need to find out what's going on."

Just like the beauty lamp case earlier, the murderer is very likely to attack people in the dark, so he can't go out at will.

That's all he knew about Master Xing. Lin Fei only asked superficially about the fellow from Sichuan and Shu who introduced Master Xing to Ganzhiwei. The fellow came to Chang'an early to discuss life, and he didn't know much about Master Xing. Specifically, I also sent people to go to the land of Sichuan and Shu to inquire carefully.

Therefore, he will stay in the mansion for a while longer, and accompany his mother to take care of Mrs. Lu and others.Many things in this case need to be investigated in his own mansion.

Thinking of Madam Lu's reaction when she saw the braised pork meat, Wen Mingtang couldn't help taking a deep breath: "It seems that this matter has troubled Madam Lu so far, making it unforgettable."

"The day when his hand was injured happened to be the day when the Maoguan incident happened." Lin Fei paused, then glanced at the thoughtful Wen Mingtang, implying, "Master Xing is not a person who is particularly good at disguising .”

Wen Mingtang nodded, raised the half bowl of soup left in his hand, and said that he would go back after eating the half bowl of soup.

Lin Fei shook his head and said: "In the early years, Master Xing married a wife and had a child, but I heard that his son died of illness when he was young, and his wife left early because of this depression. Never married again."

Hu Siming is now being held as a suspect in the prison of Dali Temple.

Having said all this, Lin Fei looked at the dessert made by Wen Mingtang on the table: Although he is not a person who would make his stomach suffer, he was not polite when he moved his chopsticks at the table just now, but he was really not full.

Use a spoon to scoop up a spoonful of sweet-scented osmanthus rice balls and put them into the mouth. The sweetness of the mouth is mixed with the scent of osmanthus flowers and the slightly intoxicating taste of the wine. , a bowl, warm and ironing, quite comfortable.

Wen Mingtang also deeply agrees with this point: Master Xing's cover-up just now is not considered clever.

Coupled with the deliberateness of today's braised pork meat, there is no doubt that Master Xing's goal is Mrs. Lu and remind her of what happened back then.

Wen Mingtang also knew this: "Ji Caimai and I once met Master Xing on Zhuangzi."

After watching Wen Mingtang hand over rice in bamboo tubes, steamed buns filled with soup, and lotus root noodle soup one by one to the maidservant who came to serve dim sum, Lin Fei took a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus wine brewed by Wen Mingtang. Decoration is just an ordinary and plain small bowl, but this bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus rice wine glutinous rice balls still looks attractive.

If you don't even know what's going on in your own house, how can you handle the case?What's more, Master Xing approached deliberately, and Mrs. Hou was obviously the one he liked.

"Later, I found out that his goal was not my mother, but to get close to someone through my mother." Lin Fei stopped here, looked at Wen Mingtang, and said, "Later, Mrs. Lu came over."

Lin Fei lowered his eyes, and after a moment of silence, nodded.

He told her not to walk around at will, which has nothing to do with this case.This case is not like the previous case where the murderer would randomly go to the streets to find targets, but targeted the murderer with a purpose.

But...Looking at Wen Mingtang's understanding expression, Lin Fei didn't explain anymore: Girls are not the kind of people who like to go out. They cook in the public kitchen on weekdays and read the script. Once out of Dali Temple.

As long as she is in Dali Temple, she is safe.

But there are some things... I'd better wait until the case is solved, and then explain it to her!
