Xu Mu paused with the chopsticks used to pick up the vegetables, then retracted them, and glanced at Feng Su intentionally or unintentionally, "I have handled a case, and the county magistrate gave me half a month to rest, so I came to Jinghu when I have nothing to do."

"It seems that this is fate, there is a cause in the past," Feng Su smiled and looked at Xu Mu, and said with a hint: "There will be results in the future."

That's right, if Feng Su didn't commit the murder, she wouldn't be able to handle the case, let alone take a rest.

Xu Mu took a sip of his wine and said, "Feng Nvxia is right."

Lan Qingping glanced at the two of them, and said calmly: "Captain Xu and Su Su seem to be old acquaintances, why don't you tell me how you two got to know each other?"

Du Ying's eyes lit up, "That's good! Xiao Mu, since you know this kind of person, you didn't tell me about it before, you're really stingy."

"I..." Xu Mu felt that she and Xu Mu's first acquaintance was really inaccurate, saying that she was drenched in blood?Or did she pick up a head in a well?

Feng Su secretly watched her expression, drinking wine calmly.Xu Mu held back for a long time before saying, "It's better for Feng Nv Xia to speak first."

"Captain Xu is so polite," Feng Su smiled, "It's just that I don't want to say it right now."

Lan Qingping originally wanted to inquire about Xu Mu, to see if she remembered her acquaintance with Feng Su when she was a child.Now both of them could see that she didn't remember, so they stopped the conversation: "After all, your two identities are in the way, it seems that I was abrupt. Hurry up, I'm sorry."

Du Ying took a sip of his wine in dismay, "It's really boring."

Feng Su glanced at Xu Mu, who was bowing his head, and raised his glass, "The four of us are able to drink together at the same table recently, it is also due to fate. Two honored guests, I would like to toast you again."

She was so enthusiastic, Xu Mu really didn't know what kind of medicine was bought in this gourd, and always felt that something was wrong.

The four drank to their heart's content, Du Ying got drunk halfway through the drink and was sent back to the room.Seeing that the timing was about right, Lan Qingping also found a chance to leave. In the main hall of Nuo Da, only Feng and Xu were left in an instant.

Xu Mu sat there blankly, not knowing what to say, and after thinking for a long time, he hesitated and said: "The dagger left by Feng Nuxia is still with me, and I will... I will return it to you later. "

"Don't worry," Feng Su put his slender and white arms on the table, and supported his chin with his jade hands, and said, "Speaking of which, how do you know it's my dagger?"

"I was fortunate enough to see your lost long sword and the word wind on it." Xu Mu thought that this matter was not a secret, so he said it.

Feng Su thought for a while, "I did lose Shu Tianjian two years ago... Tsk, so you paid attention to me back then."

There seemed to be a bit of teasing in her tone, Xu Mu became nervous inexplicably, and hurriedly explained: "No, at that time, Master wanted me to know more about the world, so that I would not embarrass her by going out."

Finally talking about the topic Feng Su wanted to talk about, she lowered her arms and leaned forward slightly, "Then... how did your master say about me?"

Xu Mu told her everything, and she sighed after hearing it—it seems that this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run.

The atmosphere became awkward, Feng Su sat upright, brushed his hair, and said: "Speaking of which, after you took away my wooden hairpin, I haven't tied my hair for four or five days."

"Why?" Xu Mu asked strangely, "I saw that you have a lot of hairpins here, and the two maids in the morning wore good hairpins."

Feng Su sighed again, why couldn't this girl understand the meaning behind her words?

For people like Xu Mu who don't understand the customs, Feng Su had no choice but to say straightforwardly: "Those hairpins are different from my orchid and wooden hairpins. I wonder if the police officer will carve the wooden hairpins and give me another one?"

It's really strange, Xu Mu was surprised, logically speaking, Feng Su should have asked her to buy another one, why would he ask her if she could carve wooden hairpins?

Could it be that this person knows that he can do some carvings?

Xu Mu had no one to accompany him when he was a child, and he was bullied when dealing with his brothers and sisters at home.After being alone for a long time, she had nothing to do, so she asked Duying to bring her some wood and carving knives, and she started to learn woodcarving.

She seldom mentioned these things in the past, so how did Feng Su know about it?

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Mu didn't want to lie to her, so he could only say, "It's true that there will be some, but the craftsmanship is really shameful..."

"It's okay, then you can carve one for me, please hurry up."

Xu Mu: "..." What did she say that she was going to promise her? !

She didn't know that Feng Su was such a rascal, so she opened her eyes and looked at her angrily.After drinking, Xu Mu's face was pale and red, very delicate and charming, coupled with this coquettish and dissatisfied look, it made Feng Su also blush.

In order not to make any surprising moves for herself, Feng Nuxia got up in a hurry, "You should rest early, drink here today..." Before the words finished, a maid hurriedly stepped into the main hall, leaned over and said: " Master, something happened on the island."

After she finished speaking, she slightly raised her head and glanced at Xu Mu, Feng Su straightened the wrapping around her arm, "Continue talking."

The maid looked away and said: "A group of businessmen came to the island yesterday, and one of them disappeared last night. His name was Zhou Jingrong. Someone just found Zhou Jingrong's jade pendant in the grass by the island. It is estimated that he fell into the lake last night and drowned. gone."

Feng Su seldom lives in Jinghu, so he doesn't know why this group of businessmen came to the island.But she had heard about Zhou Jingrong in Jiangzhou, he was the richest man in Jiangzhou, he had all kinds of business routes in his hands, and he was quite capable.

This person is very popular in the business field, but it is said that word of mouth is not good, nasty =. = He has also done a lot of deeds.

Feng Su thought that it was an island matter after all, so he said, "Then I'll go and have a look. You go and get my night outfit, don't make it public, lest Qingping know and worry."

The servant girl backed away as promised, Xu Mu got up and stood beside her and said, "Since it's a murder case, take me with you, anyway, I'm also a fast arrester."

Feng Su looked at her sideways for a moment, with a smile on his face, "Okay."

Xu Mu went back to the house to get the sword, and at the same time changed into a set of light dark clothes in the package.When she came out, Feng Su had already changed into his night clothes.

Feng Su held two face scarves in his hand, and threw one to Xu Mu, "Put it on, don't reveal your identity."

She was not afraid of Feng Su, she was just afraid of rumors that someone would see Xu Mu with her.

Xu Mu's identity is a police officer, and his own identity is different after all.

Feng Su put on the mask silently, turned around and rushed out of the corridor, followed by Xu Mu.

When they arrived at the place where the crime happened, the two hid at the edge of the woods while it was dark. They saw a group of people standing by the lake. The leader was holding a jade pendant and spoke fiercely: "My brother can't commit suicide! The purpose of his coming to this island, everyone! Everyone knows, how could he throw himself into the lake! There must be a traitor!"

It seemed that this was Zhou Jingrong's younger brother, the sky was too dark, Xu Mu couldn't see everyone's faces clearly, he could only identify them by their voices - this person didn't seem to be someone from yesterday's boat.

"Zhou Jingren, we are not saying that he committed suicide. He drank so much last night, who knows if he stumbled and fell?"

She was familiar with this voice, it was Lu Ji.

When Zhou Jingren heard this, he immediately shouted angrily: "Lu Ji! You must have hurt my brother! He made fun of you during the banquet yesterday, and you have a grudge!"

Lu Ji smiled instead of anger, "Is a few jokes worth killing me?"

A person next to him said: "But I heard you quarreled with him in the wing room after dinner yesterday, saying that Brother Zhou robbed Brother Lu of his wealth..."

Zhou Jingren grasped this point, and emotionally grabbed Lu Ji's lapel and said, "No wonder! Lu Ji! You are so vicious. You are so vicious just because my brother wants to do the same business with you!"

Xu Mu, who was in the dark, was confused. In her impression, Lu Ji was always innocent. How could he have committed a murder?
