Dongdu Pavilion Case Record

Chapter 43 2.14 Wonton

In the blink of an eye, it was Youshi, and there was already a thick stack of notes on Tang Wuyi's case.Tang Wuyi was still comparing, when he suddenly heard a cooing sound behind the screen.

Tang Wuyi chuckled: "Taotao, are you hungry?"

Wen Tao let out a weak "hmm".After half a day, although he didn't interrogate himself, he sat upright all the time, and he listened to the interrogation while thinking quickly, which really drained his energy.

Tang Wuyi stood up and said: "Let's go to eat." The two returned to the main building of Fangfei Pavilion, and the dinner had already been delivered.Originally, the food and drink in Yunshangfang were all excellent, but suddenly there was an accident, people in Jinyuan were not allowed to go out, so they had to ask someone to send some meat and vegetables in for cooking, so the food was not only not enough in quantity, but also not very good in taste.Wen Taowei finished eating together, Tang Wuyi saw this and got up and walked to the door: "Go and go back."

Wen Tao only thought that he was going to Yangzhou City to do some business, and didn't follow. He picked up Tang Wuyi's interrogation transcripts and read them carefully one by one.

I don't know how long it has passed, Wen Tao suddenly smelled a scent, raised his eyes and Tang Wuyi had come back at some time, holding a food box, and raised his eyebrows at him.

Wen Tao's five senses are extremely keen, especially his sense of smell. He sniffed hard and said, "Tang Yue, what did you buy?"

Tang Wuyi didn't answer, but just pushed the food box forward and lifted the lid.Inside is a bowl of wontons, Yangzhou wontons, with thin skin and mellow soup, served with dried shredded and seaweed, the aroma is overflowing.Wen Tao's eyes lit up all of a sudden, but he was still puzzled: "Why is there only one bowl?"

Tang Wuyi said: "I'm not hungry, I bought it for you. You are still young, you need to grow up."

Wen Tao didn't bother to argue with him, so he ate directly.He ate happily, but he couldn't bear the heat, and his whole face became distorted and lively.

"Slow down, slow down. No one is going to grab you." Tang Wuyi said.

"Tang Yue, why did you buy me wontons?" Wen Tao took the time to ask.

"This is the famous Zhu Ji Wonton in Yangzhou City." Tang Wuyi introduced, "Yangzhou's food is better than that of Kyoto, and this Zhu Ji Wonton is famous in Yangzhou. I just queued for a long time."

Wen Tao was a little embarrassed, and said softly, "Brother Tang..."

"Don't!" Tang Wuyi said, "Don't talk to me in this tone, don't beg me again."

Wen Tao said with a sincere face: "Tang Yue, I just thank you sincerely. I came out with you this time, and you took good care of me."

Seeing that his eyes were as bright as stars, Tang Wuyi felt a little pain in his heart for no reason.He really wanted to know if his elder brother felt the same way when he saw himself like this.He smiled at Wen Tao and said, "You don't need to thank me, just help me investigate the case. This time the case is tricky, and I'm not sure."

"Hmm!" Wen Tao ate the wontons, his spirits glowed, and his mouth was full of oil, and said: "Just now I read the transcript..."

"Take it and wipe it." Tang Wuyi interrupted him, and gave him his plain white handkerchief.

Wen Tao blushed, took it over and wiped his mouth, straightened his posture, sat upright and said, "Tang Yue, just now I carefully read the records of the lady from Nanfang and the lady from the north. Judging from the transcripts, it is impossible to rule out the suspicion of the two. .”

"Oh? But Mrs. Suxin has an appointment with King Qi, which was confirmed by King Qi."

"She has one hour to bathe and change clothes, which is a bit too long." Wen Tao said seriously, "I figured it out, half an hour is enough."

Tang Wuyi glanced at him: "Then you don't know that the girl's family is different from our men's?"

"Ah?" Wen Tao was taken aback.

"A girl needs to apply oil and powder to bathe and change her clothes, and she has not added the effort of dressing up. In my opinion, an hour is not too much. And I also asked her maid, she didn't bring it herself. People who came over confirmed that it took more than an hour for Miss Suxin to go back to take a bath and change clothes. But after she came out, because the flower boat caught fire, several of their maids were originally from Dongfang, and they were all called to various places. The fire started The whereabouts of Miss Suxin cannot be determined after that," Tang Wuyi said.

"So her suspicion is still there, but if you calculate it this way, she can only take advantage of the chaos to kill people on the spur of the moment, instead of having an appointment with Miss Dongfang in advance." Wen Tao reasoned along the train of thought.

"What do you think, Miss Beifang?" Tang Wuyi asked.

"That lady is obviously focused on King Qi. In terms of time, she has been in the Spring Pavilion since the end of the performance, and there is a maid named Rong Niang to testify."

"That Rong Niang was brought here from Beifang, and her credibility is not high." Tang Wuyi pondered, "But if she has murderous intentions, she should also target Miss Suxin. She spoke to Dongfang Madam Cuiyun's demeanor is somewhat contemptuous, and she is not regarded as an imaginary enemy."

Wen Tao nodded: "Miss Furong is very straightforward in her actions and words, she doesn't seem to be hiding anything."

Tang Wuyi smiled softly: "You know again? Tell you, don't believe what a woman says."

Wen Tao curled his lips, and said again: "A maid seemed to mention ghosts just now."

"Yeah." Tang Wuyi nodded, "I'm also very concerned about this."

"Could it be the same as Guiyun Villa, it's the smoke | mist | bombs released by the murderer?" Wen Tao asked.

"It's not. You haven't seen Lady Diewu when she was famous all over the world. She was really born out of nowhere and shocked the world. After her, Dongfang has no successors. It is normal for the maids to mention her." Tang While explaining, Wuyi searched for relevant rumors in the records.

"Here, you see, the maid in Dongfang said that Lady Diewu died in the lake in Jinyuan a few years ago, and her soul could not rest in peace in the lake. Seeing the new oiran, she felt resentful and killed Xixi first. Lady Fang Huakui, and then kill Lady Dongfang Huakui." Tang Wuyi said.

"Oh? Lady Diewu died in Jinyuan Lake?" Wen Tao asked.

"I don't know the specific situation. I only know that she was a beautiful woman, and she died in a beautiful woman."

"Would the murderer also know about this rumor?"

"The only ones who know the details of Diewu's death are people from Dongfang. Dongfang is vague about Diewu's death, and it is difficult for outsiders to know the details." Tang Wuyi replied, "From the current two cases, The murder scene did not leave any clues related to Lady Diewu."

Wen Tao nodded in agreement, pondered for a moment and said, "However, we'd better ask the master about the details of Die Wu's death tomorrow morning."

"That's exactly what I mean."

"This is not considered an interrogation." Wen Tao looked at Tang Wuyi, "Can I listen in a fair manner?"

Tang Wuyi grinned, his bright smile reflected in the candlelight: "Naturally I will take you with me. Master Chu and Deputy Master Jiang were all on the lookout yesterday, and there are witnesses. It is absolutely impossible for them to be the murderer."

Wen Tao said contentedly: "That's good, I hid behind the screen for a long time today, and I was exhausted."
