After seeing Mao Gai's wife, everyone was a little surprised because they couldn't understand.

For someone from Mao Gai's family background, he can definitely marry a wife who looks passable. Even if the look is not passable, he should at least find someone younger than himself, right?

But the lady in front of me, not to mention her age is older than Mao Gai, even her appearance can't be justified.

But even so, everyone didn't say anything. After all, they were not Mao Gai, and they didn't know what Mao Gai was thinking.

In this world, there are many reasons for two people to come together, among them, outsiders can't understand at all, maybe Mao Gai likes such a woman?

Mao Gai's wife was crying so hard, Hwarang glanced at her and said, "Madam, please give me condolences. The most important thing we need to do now is to find out who killed Mao Gai, so it's okay, Ma'am can help answer a few questions."

After listening to Hwarang's words, the woman nodded with grief.

"It was the body you found. What was the situation at that time?"

"It was before dusk, and I was going to deliver some food to my husband, but just as I walked into the study, I found that my husband had been killed. At that time...it was terrible, and I ran out in fright. If it wasn't for a servant to remind me Report the crime, I really... really don't know what to do!"

"What was your husband doing in the study at that time?"

"Husband usually has nothing else to do. He likes to appreciate calligraphy and painting the most. When he has nothing to do, he stays in the study."

Mao Gai's situation was similar to Cui Jian's, Hwarang nodded slightly, and then continued to ask: "Did you notice anything unusual about Mao Gai in the past few days?"

The woman thought for a while and said, "It's nothing unusual, it's just that I stayed in the study for a long time, and I'm not allowed to enter it casually."

"Then has your husband come back late these days?"

"One night a few days ago, he came back very late, and he went back to the study immediately after he came back. He didn't go into the bedroom at all. At that time, I advised him to rest quickly, but he lost his temper at me. If I lived like that, I don’t know what happened that night!”

After hearing this sentence, Hwarang's heart suddenly burst, and he hurriedly asked what time was that night. The woman thought about it, and then told the specific date. It was the night when Du Cao's calligraphy and paintings were stolen.

In this way, this Mao Gai is really Cui Jian's accomplice, the two of them worked together to steal Du Cao's calligraphy and painting, but after they got the calligraphy and painting, they were killed one after another, why?

Could it be that Du Cao found out about this and wanted revenge?

Everyone felt that this was unreliable. Since Du Cao had reported this matter to the government, there was absolutely no need to solve it privately, and with Du Cao's skills, there was no way to kill Cui Jian and Mao Gai.

The murderer didn't want those calligraphy and paintings for money, so what was the murderer looking for?

There must be something important in the paintings, so the murderer did not hesitate to kill two people to get those paintings.

Thinking of this, Hwarang immediately ordered someone to call Du Cao. This painting is Du Cao's. I think Du Cao must know these calligraphy and paintings very well. Whether he can see something from the calligraphy and painting depends on Du Cao.

After the yamen servant left, Hwarang continued to ask Mao Gai's wife, "Have you ever seen Mao Gai holding some of Zhou Fang's paintings?"

Mao Gai's wife doesn't seem to know much about calligraphy and painting, so when she heard Hua Lang say Zhou Fang's name, she seemed a little ignorant, and even asked who Zhou Fang was and did he know her husband Mao Gai well? , Her question made Hwarang a little dumbfounded, and felt that it was useless to ask her this question again.

Nothing happened for the time being, Hwarang looked through Mao Gai's study, he found that Mao Gai's study was very elegant, and there were many calligraphy and paintings, including Zhou Fang's calligraphy and paintings, but not the ones that Du Cao lost, Hwarang looked at those calligraphy and paintings , It’s hard to understand for a while, is calligraphy and painting really so attractive?You can let Cui Jian and Mao Gai be thieves, you can make Cui Jian obsessed with this and not let a woman accompany you, you can let Mao Gai marry a daughter casually, just for this woman to take care of everything in the family , to carry on the family line for himself, as for what this woman looks like and how old she is, she doesn't care at all?

Suddenly, Hwarang felt that if a person is too obsessed with something, it is a bit bad after all, because when they are obsessed with one thing, they look like a fool or a lunatic in the eyes of others.

And they don't know it at all.

After looking at the calligraphy and painting in Mao Gai's house, the yamen servant came with Du Cao. Cui Jian and Mao Gai stole the calligraphy and painting together.

After he learned of this, the only thing he thought about was that the thief was hard to guard against.

After seeing Hwarang, Du Cao saluted again and again, and then asked, "I don't know why Mr. Hua called you here?" Lang's identity.

Hwarang was meditating at that time, turned around when he heard Du Cao's voice, looked at him, and asked very calmly: "The calligraphy and painting lost in your house has already caused two people to be killed, I want to know who you are?" How did you get these calligraphy and paintings, and what can you see from these calligraphy and paintings?"

Du Cao was terrified and said: "These calligraphy and paintings are not purchased by me, but handed down from my ancestors. They have always been cited as family treasures. As for what is in the calligraphy and paintings, I don't know."

Hearing what Du Cao said, Hua Lang frowned slightly, and then continued to ask: "You are going to sell the calligraphy and painting, but have you ever had someone come to your home to see the calligraphy and painting?"

"This... Playboy suspects that the murderer is someone who has seen calligraphy and painting?"

"You just answer!"

"Because calligraphy and painting are very expensive, most people can't buy them at all, so in the entire Chang'an city, only two people have seen calligraphy and painting, but after they saw it, they all said it was too expensive. I just wanted to blackmail."

"who are they?"

"Lu Yu in the east of the city, Shi Shan in the west of the city, they...they are all dignified people in Chang'an City, they shouldn't commit murder just for the sake of calligraphy and painting, right?"

Du Cao's words seem to make sense, but for Hwarang and the others who are used to killing people and their own reasons for killing, anyone can kill, as long as the reason is enough for them to kill.

"Whether they are murderers or not, I'm afraid we will have to investigate to find out. We can't exclude them just because they have a reputation."
