Chapter 66 Cloud Island Suspicion

In just a few days, the news of two people dying in one night spread throughout Yongzhong. At the same time, the unlucky deeds of Zuixiaolou shopkeeper Pei Xingji were passed on by word of mouth. Some people came to Pei Xingji to ridicule him. As soon as the fire was turned on, the servants of Pei Xingji's mansion suffered another disaster.

Du Si found Ji Shi in his spare time, and asked carefully about his whereabouts that night. Because other nursing homes discovered that Ji Shi had appeared in Zuixiao Tower early, but Ji Shi did not explain clearly to Cao Zhengming and others. There are tricks in it.

"Ji Shi, why did you go to Zuixiao Tower that night? Why didn't you tell me at the time?" Du Si was aggressive, blocking Ji Shi for nothing.

"I, I..." Ji Shi stammered, his eyes rolled around, and he tried his best to find a reason, "My lord, the master is still waiting for me to pour tea, the villain is leaving first!"

He left in a panic, and there seemed to be a scourge chasing him behind him. Du Si was sure at the moment that Manager Ji was definitely hiding something this time.

In addition, there is another doubtful point in Pei's residence, that is, the itinerary of Pei Xingji's wife, Mrs. Wang, on the evening of the [-]th. Du Si once asked other people. And immediately found a reason to get away, he also confided in Zhang Zhi, but he didn't take it to heart, instead he felt that Du Si was too sensitive, he couldn't ask Pei Xingji, so he had to combine this matter with his doubts about Yu Wan Put it back.

Du Si walked out of Pei's house, unconsciously moving forward with his feet.

At this time, all he could investigate was Jiang Yan. The staff of Zuixiaolou once said that he saw Old Man Wu enter the back kitchen that night, but Jiang Yan did not explain. Du Si thought about this poor widow Woman, those eyes with three points of hatred came to mind, unconsciously, Du Si walked to Yong'an Street, there were people coming and going on the road, no one was stranded because of his pause, although Zuixiao Tower was damaged, But the past glory can still be seen, the snack shops on the side have all disappeared, and there is a person standing in front of one of them, looking at something.

Du Si stared at it for a moment, and finally walked forward. The shop owner didn't look back. The two stood together in front of the ruins. Even though they made eye contact for a few moments, they remained silent. Finally, the boss opened his mouth to break the silence.

"Du Si, don't waste time with me, let's go." He was the same as that day, what he said seemed to be unintentional, but there was endless sadness in his eyes.

Du Si shook his head and smiled, "I thank you for the candy, thank you very much."

A smile finally appeared on the boss's face, the heaviness between the two of them was washed away a little, and the sunshine shining on their bodies was also full of vitality.

"My wife liked to read books during her lifetime. I read a few books, but I couldn't understand what the ancients said. My wife often joked about this. I am not a student." He recalled the past, and Du Si seemed to have a memory A picture of a couple getting along day and night, the boss's eyes are lightly closed, and his weather-beaten face seems to be much softer, "But I know, there are thousands of classics, and filial piety comes first. , my parents are octogenarians, if I abandon them, I will be in vain as a son of man."

The boss smiled relievedly, and said, "If Jun Wan is still alive, she will definitely be unhappy seeing me like this."

Seeing that he looked away, Du Si was also happy, and the two chatted intermittently for a while, but what the boss said was completely unexpected by Du Si.

"I heard that shopkeeper Pei's son, Xiaozhi, is missing. I hope he can find Xiaozhi as soon as possible, so that the family can reunite soon and be safe and sound." The boss sighed, and said to Du Si, "Xiaozhi is usually lively and active, but he can be with him." Like my son, he also likes sweets, and Pei Xingji often orders his servants to come to my shop to buy sweets, and I'm afraid this shop won't be able to open in the future."

"Are you sure Xiaozhi has been buying candy from you?" Du Si asked doubtfully.

"Very sure." The boss is rarely proud, "He only recognizes my candy, and because he is so close, shopkeeper Pei also brings some candy back. Xiaozhi is his heart, and he loves it in the palm of his hand. "

The two said goodbye, Du Si frowned, and then went to Jiang Yan's house.

She was the only one left in Jiang Yan's house. Du Si looked at the pile of empty wine jars in the corner, recalling Jiang Yan's various behaviors in his mind, and a plan suddenly came to his mind.

"My lord, why are you looking for a woman?" Jiang Yan has been sitting on the clean little bench, her face is haggard, and she has lost a lot of weight. It’s what Master Zhizhou said.”

Du Si smiled slightly, with a touch of reassurance. He sat across from Jiang Yan, staring at her and said, "My trip is not for old man Wu, but for you, Mrs. Jiang."

"Me?" Jiang Yan was taken aback, his complexion flashed into confusion for a moment, and he quickly returned to normal, "The woman only went to put out the fire that night, but someone saw it."

"I heard that Mrs. Jiang is also working in the back kitchen. I don't know if you stayed in the kitchen of Zuixiaolou on the night of the incident?" Du Si asked softly.

Jiang Yan nodded, but his hands began to pinch his sleeves, and his fingers kept twisting.

"Li Niang is also a cook, can you two be together tonight?"

"Yes." Jiang Yan gritted his teeth, his eyes had some other meanings.

Du Si saw her reaction in his eyes, and asked unhurriedly, "When Li Niang went out to collect materials, did you still stay in the kitchen?"

At this time, Jiang Yan immediately shook his head and loudly denied it.

"I didn't stay in Zuixiaolou, I, I went back."

"Oh?" Du Si met Jiang Yan's straight eyes, "Really?"

"Really." Jiang Yan took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

"But why did Li Niang tell me quietly that after she went out that night, there was only one person in the back kitchen, and that person was you."

"No, I didn't!" Seeing that Jiang Yan's breathing was disordered, she hastily denied it, but there was no explanation.

"That night, other employees saw Old Man Wu go to the back kitchen..." Du Si leaned closer to Jiang Yan, and said softly, "Did he ask you for money?"

"No, no!"

"But Mrs. Jiang, you told Mr. Zhizhou before that you didn't see old man Wu that night. Mr. Zhizhou is very angry now. He said that he has lived all these years and no one has ever lied to him."

Du Si's words were very ingenious, and after a while, Jiang Yan was already sweating profusely, her eyes were wide open, her upper and lower lips were trembling constantly, and the sleeves in her hands were also tortured out of shape.

Du Si did not stop chasing, and continued to ask questions.

"Mrs. Jiang, tell me, in this case, who lied to Mr. Zhizhou?"

"I, I..." Jiang Yan faltered and couldn't utter a complete sentence. Seeing this, Du Si dropped a few words and left the yard, leaving Jiang Yan alone to face all this.

Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she slowly turned her head and stared at Old Man Wu's memorial tablet in the corner.

"Bastard, bastard..." Jiang Yan cursed, her eyes were red, her eyeballs were bloodshot, and her whole face was extremely hideous. She immediately got up, and quickly walked forward to take down Old Man Wu's tablet.

Jiang Yan's trembling hands gripped the tablet tightly, and his nails rubbed against the wooden structure, making a scalp-numbing sound.

"Why, why didn't you let me go after death?!"

Jiang Yan's emotions that had been suppressed for so many years erupted at this moment. She bumped around and threw many things on the table to the floor.

"Immortal thing! You deserve it, you deserve it!"

The pain of being enslaved by the old man Wu for many years came unexpectedly like a torrential rain, and the resentment in her heart could not be vented. Jiang Yan saw the only tablet left in her hand and threw him to the empty wine jar in the corner.

There was a crisp impact sound, and then, a howl like a wild beast resounded through the sky, causing passers-by to turn their heads to watch.

Du Si had gained something, but he was still worried about Pei Zhai. He set a trap for Jiang Yan, and Jiang Yan was obviously not good enough psychologically, so he quickly took the bait, and this also proved that Jiang Yan did conceal the case to stop Cao Zhengming further investigates the case.

Du Si went back to Yong'an Street again. Running around and thinking took up too much of his time these days, and he didn't even stop when he was resting. Du Si turned his back and walked on the way back. He was really tired.

At this moment, Mr. Ding, who was sitting in the tea shed, shouted loudly and forced Du Si, who was full of sorrow, to come in.

Du Si was very troubled, everyone had different opinions, and it was difficult for him to tell the truth from the false.

"These are none of your affairs, why are you worrying so much?" Master Ding said with a smile, shaking his cattail fan, "Young people should be more open-minded. One more thing is worse than one less thing. This is the first time I've seen someone who makes trouble for me."

"It's easy for you to say, but I can't be indifferent." Du Si looked at Zuixiaolou opposite, his eyes gradually moved to the horizon, "In this world, everyone pursues different things. If you are free and unrestrained, some people will be wronged and imprisoned, and we are taking it as our duty to clear up the wronged people and clarify Yuyu."

Du Si's eyes seemed to contain another world. Master Ding was taken aback, and opened his mouth to say something, but Du Si continued, "My parents died young. Although I have no close relatives, I also understand that it is difficult to repay the kindness of parents. When I was alive, I often taught me a sentence: "Punishment is a heavy responsibility, and there is a long way to go." Since I was born as his son, I have to take responsibility. If I violate my father's wishes, wouldn't I be an unfilial and unrighteous person?"

Although Du Si is not Du Yongqiu's real son, he has already kept Du Yongqiu's instructions in mind. In a sense, he is very happy to be "Du Si".

Master Ding sighed, the setting sun reflected the bloody colors in his eyes, which made Du Si's eyes ache.

"You are a person who values ​​love and righteousness. Nowadays, people's hearts are fluctuating, the world is cold, and ungrateful people abound. If you don't go with this crowd, you will definitely cause pain all over your body in the future."

He pointed to the pedestrians on Yong'an Street. Du Si glanced at them and saw people coming and going on the street in an endless stream. The line of many people stretched forward without an end in sight.

In a daze, Jing Heng's first words echoed in Du Si's ears.

"Punishing evil and promoting good, and supporting justice are far more difficult than you imagine."

Du Si did not deny it, but in the world, there are so many innocent people who have been wronged and imprisoned innocently, how could he bear to ignore them?

A surge of passion suddenly surged in my heart, and the memories of the past are vivid in my mind. Du Si still remembers how he solved those difficult cases, gave justice to the wronged, and the weeping faces of relatives who learned the truth.

"When the moon is full, it will lose, and when the water is full, it will overflow. You..." Master Ding wanted to persuade him, but Du Si's resolute expression blocked all his words.

"I appreciate your kindness." Du Si looked at Master Ding and said firmly, "No matter if I encounter a wall or greater difficulties, I will never change my original intention. Even if I suffer from prison or lose my status, I am willing. "

Du Si's eyes were black and white, and the burst of light made it difficult for Mr. Ding to look directly at him. The two looked up at the sky. Du Si raised his head, he was not afraid of these, for example, Li Zhifei, Lu Jisheng and others, if you want to do something, then do it.

As the sun was setting, Du Si returned to Cao Zhengming's mansion. He borrowed the case written by Zhang Zhi and carefully recalled the case. Jing Heng's figure flashed by. Du Si put down the case without thinking, got up and ran out. .

"Jing Heng!" Du Si hurriedly called to him, Jing Heng really stopped, he turned around, a handsome face bathed in the moonlight, so beautiful that it was unreal.

"I..." Du Si opened his mouth, but his mind was blank. Even though he had thousands of words, they melted into his mouth at this moment.

Jing Heng took a few steps forward and looked down at Du Si who was hesitating. After a long time, he reached out and stroked Du Si's head softly.

"I know what you want to say."

Du Si watched Jing Heng quietly, but he saw a few traces of tenderness in the almost indifferent blackness.

"I don't want to embarrass you."

Jing Heng's palm lightly brushed Du Si's cheek, with a bit of heat, igniting the light in his eyes.

Under the moonlight, the figures of the two gradually moved closer until they became close to each other, casting a long mark on the ground.

But the unexpected thing for Dusi was still to come. On the second day, three people came to Yongzhong Yamen, one was Jiang Yan who accepted his fate, and the other was a crying couple.
