The happy life of a prodigal

"How did you answer her?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he couldn't wait to ask the old man before he finished speaking.

The old man continued unhurriedly: "I said, I'm resting. No one knows whether she disappeared during the day or at night. My answer will be the same."

This 'she' undoubtedly refers to Mrs. Chen.

In fact, Mrs. Chen has been missing for two days. It is true that no one knows whether something happened to her during the day or if she waited until night.

Of course, most people, to be precise, almost everyone concluded that Mrs. Chen's accident happened during the day.

The reason is simple, Mrs. Chen has no reason to stay outside until night before returning home.

The middle-aged man was obviously relieved when he heard his father say this, but he didn't relax completely. Instead, he asked: "What happened later? What did you say later?"

The watchman stood where he was, and continued: "Later, another young man came and asked some homely questions..."

Speaking of this, he seemed to have thought of something, his cloudy eyes flickered for a moment, and he didn't dare to mention what happened before, but said: "Then let dad come back."

When the middle-aged man heard these words, his eyes kept flickering.

He didn't understand why the people in the yamen questioned a watchman. Did they already have some clues?

how can that be?

He believed that both the timing and the means of doing it were very precise.

There should be no clues left.

unless......

He thought of some possibility, and the expression on his face instantly became a little flustered.

Of course, it only took a moment to return to its original appearance.

He raised his eyes, looked at his father whom he hated so much, and said in a commanding tone: "During this period of time, you should not go out to work shifts, and when people ask you, you just say that you are sick and can't move, do you hear me? "

Hearing this, the old man nodded and said, "Father understands.

In a few days, the yamen's inspections will not be as strict as these days. Take your money and leave quickly.

Just stay one more day..."

"You take care of yourself, I don't need you to take care of my affairs!"

The middle-aged man cursed angrily, turned and walked into the room.

After a long time, I put a package on my back and walked out.

Seeing this scene, the old man took a step forward and asked, "Are you leaving now?"

"It's still the same sentence, you don't need to take care of my affairs!"

The middle-aged man glared at the old man, turned around and left the house without saying a word of greeting.

But... After he left, he didn't walk towards the city gate as expected, but stood at the intersection and hesitated for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, but I gritted my teeth and walked in the opposite direction.

After walking for about half an hour, I finally arrived in front of a mansion.

The mansion doesn't look grand, but it's obviously not an ordinary family. Just the word "Chen's Mansion" flying around on the plaque gives people a sense of solemnity.

The middle-aged man stood in front of the mansion, stopped for a while, then turned around to leave, but heard chattering voices from the side.

"I heard that Mrs. Chen is not dead?"

"Of course, Mrs. Chen's face looks like a long-lived person, so it's so easy to be murdered."

"Then why does the yamen say that Mrs. Chen was killed?"

"I don't know, it should be to lure the murderer out...

After all, the capital is so big that if you search for it one by one, you won't be able to find it for decades.

I heard that Mr. Chen has sent someone to invite a painter to paint the murderer's face and hand it over to the arresters, so that the arresters will pay attention to it on weekdays.

You said, if the murderer knew that Mrs. Chen was not dead and had no choice but to hide, at that time, not to mention the arrests of the Yamen, even the arrests of the Ministry of Punishment and the soldiers of the Pro-Military Mansion would not be enough. use! "

"Is there such a thing?"

"That's, I'm telling you..."

The middle-aged man couldn't hear what the two were talking behind. He just repeated a sentence in his mind: "Mrs. Chen is not dead yet! Mrs. Chen... is not dead yet!"

Besides, what's more, Mr. Chen actually wanted to ask an artist to paint his own face.

By the way, Mrs. Chen did see her face back then.

only......

How can this be?

I clearly watched Mrs. Chen die with my own eyes, so how could she not be dead yet! ?

At this moment, the middle-aged man's mind was in chaos and he couldn't think of anything.

Gradually, gradually, his eye sockets became red.

The painter Mr. Chen invited has not yet arrived, so he still has a chance to make up for it!

As long as the painter came to the Chen Mansion, he had to do what he had done before, and everything would be fine!

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man showed a ruthless look on his face, subconsciously glanced at the plaque of the Chen residence, turned and left.

It was already night when he appeared again.

The sky darkened, and the entire Chen Mansion was shrouded in darkness, making it very depressing.

The clothes on the middle-aged man have been changed into black night clothes, which looks very concealed under the night sky.

Unless you get close to it, it's hard to find such a person standing here.

The middle-aged man's skills are very vigorous, and he turned over the wall with almost no effort.

Chen Tongnai is a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs Examination Department. He holds a lot of power, but he is only a junior fifth rank in rank. Living in such a mansion has already attracted many people.

Many speech officials above the court were dissatisfied.

Therefore, there are not many servants and maidservants in the mansion.

At night, when night fell, few people would walk in the mansion.

The middle-aged man landed gently, looked around, and found nothing unusual.

Apart from being quiet, it was still quiet, and the quietness was somewhat unreasonable.

But his whole body and mind were in a state of high tension, and he didn't realize it at all.

Just follow the well-explored route and move forward bit by bit.

Although the speed is not fast, but the footsteps are very light, falling on the ground without making a sound.

Just like this, step by step, I don't know how long he walked, and finally, he came to a door.

Looking at the shadow inside the door, he took a deep breath and slowly pushed the door open.

continue......

One step, two steps, three steps...

Finally, he walked to the edge of the bed, and at the same time, slowly raised the dagger in his hand.

In the next second, it fell heavily!

Chapter 494

boom--!

The imaginary picture did not appear, but instead, he felt a huge force in his chest inexplicably, and he couldn't bear it, so he took a few steps back.

After barely stabilizing his figure, the middle-aged man finally sensed something was wrong, his pupils shrank slightly, and he looked towards the bed while tightly holding the dagger in his hand.

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded from behind: "I caught you!"

"Who!?"

The middle-aged man was startled by the sudden voice and turned around to look.

The next second, after seeing everything in front of him clearly, he froze in place, even the hand holding the dagger trembled a little.

Behind him, at some point, a dozen or so policemen with knives appeared. The leader was a heroic female policeman, and beside him stood a young man in a fancy dress.

He had never seen either of them.

However, combined with what happened before and some rumors he heard, he doesn't need to think too much, he also understands that the two people in front of him are Xia Yixue, the God of Kyoto, and the other is the famous Xin'anbo Fangxiu!

"Give up resistance, it's useless, this place has been surrounded by the Yamen and the Ministry of Criminal Police.

If you could escape from here, you wouldn't have to cover up like that when you murdered Mrs. Chen. "

Fang Xiu looked at the unattractive middle-aged man in front of him, with a smile on his face, and said lightly.

The middle-aged man held the dagger tightly, looked at him, and said coldly: "I don't understand what you mean, what Mrs. Chen, what arrest..."

"Ah......"

Fang Xiu was speechless when he heard this.

He got the stolen goods at the same time, and even thought of making excuses, did he really regard the people in the Yamen and himself as fools?

He looked at the guy in front of him, opened his mouth, and was about to say something.

At this time, Xia Yixue next to her said a word in a cold voice: "Go!"

In an instant, more than a dozen arresters made their moves together, and all rushed towards the middle-aged man not far away.

It had to be said that this middle-aged man did have a bit of kung fu, and he didn't panic at all even in the face of so many arrests.

It's a pity that two fists are no match for four hands, no matter how high your martial arts are, you're still afraid of a kitchen knife.

After only two rounds, he was subdued by the Yamen's arresters.

Seeing the middle-aged man being restrained by the police, Chen Tong, who had been suppressing his anger before, finally rushed up from behind.

He stood in front of the middle-aged man, glaring at him condescendingly, his face that was not too dark was flushed with anger, his eyes also became a little red, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who are you, why did you kill my wife! ?”

The middle-aged man didn't recognize Chen Tong at first, but after hearing his words, he thought of something later, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he didn't reply.

When Chen Tong saw this scene, his remaining rationality was burned away by anger.

He squatted down, completely disregarding the civil servant's demeanor, grabbed the middle-aged man by the collar, and roared: "Say! Why did you kill my wife!?"

"Hehehehe...your wife?"

The middle-aged man was grabbed by the collar, and finally he did not remain silent like before, but gave a strange laugh twice, and said coldly: "If I hadn't left the capital more than ten years ago and went to Jiangnan to work hard, she She should be my wife now!"

When Chen Tong heard this, he became even angrier, his eyes widened, almost bursting into flames, and he said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, my wife and I have known each other more than ten years ago, why did you ever have anything to do with you!?

What you have done is nothing more than seeking money and killing your life. At this time, you are still unwilling to tell the truth, I...I...I will kill you! "

When he said this, he stood up, looked around, saw the dagger thrown by the middle-aged man on the ground, and rushed to pick it up.

Seeing this scene, the detectives nearby could no longer turn a blind eye to it as before, and stepped forward to stop him: "Master Chen, please calm down."

"Master Chen, how to punish this person is still up to Lord Fu Yin to decide. If you take action at this time, many troubles will inevitably arise..."

Seeing this scene, Xia Yixue at the side winked at the two policemen who were guarding the middle-aged man.

The two policemen immediately understood, grabbed the middle-aged man, and escorted him towards the Yamen of the Kyoto Prefecture.

Xia Yixue cupped her hands at Chen Tong, and said flatly: "Master Chen, the suspect has been arrested and brought to justice, I will retire first."

After finishing speaking, he turned and walked outside without waiting for Chen Tong to reply.

Xia Yixue has always acted like this, not to mention that the person in front of her is Wailang, a member of the examination department of the official department, or the servant of the official department, the Shangshu in front of her, at most, is only treated like this.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu glanced at Chen Tong, seeing that he was a little lost, shook his head, ignored him, turned around and walked out with Xia Yixue.

He can guess the ins and outs of this matter without waiting to see the middle-aged man's confession.

It's nothing more than those bloody plots in previous TV dramas.

After the man left for a few years, he returned to his hometown again and found that his childhood sweetheart and childhood sweetheart had become a married woman. From love to hatred, he embarked on such a road to resolve the depression in his unhappiness.

Otherwise, it is to entangle some interests.
