Zhan Zhao and colleagues are walking in Shasha

As early as when the head catcher Zhao was exchanging greetings with Mrs. Xu, Qin Tong's gaze swept across every corner of the hall calmly.Now that Mrs. Xu agreed, she didn't pay much attention to etiquette, so she took a closer look in the living room first.

Except for the staircase that killed Mr. Xu, which can be seen as soon as you enter the door, there is a dilapidated pear wood table on the left side of the hall, and a set of tea sets are placed on it, but it is really outdated. Tea stains.There are two carved wooden chairs on both sides of the wooden table, which were probably eaten by insects and ants before. Like the staircase next to it, they are all newly painted, which is really not commensurate with the pear blossom wooden table.

Qin Tong said to Mrs. Xu: "I see that the stairs and chairs have been repainted recently, why did they miss this table alone? If they are taken care of together, it will look neater after all."

"We are a small family, how can we be so particular about it." Mrs. Xu sighed softly when she heard the words, "To tell you the truth, since my master left Anlefang, the family has become more and more depressed. It was a while ago to catch up. It was the birthday of the slave family, and the master said that he would tidy up the house and go to get rid of the bad luck. Unexpectedly, the painter he invited was a dishonest one. He was only halfway through the work, and he secretly painted a piece of mahogany in the house black and wanted to steal it. When my master found out, he yelled at him and resigned immediately. At that time, the painter still had a table left unfinished, so he let it go."

As Qin Tong listened, he picked up a teacup and played with it in his hand, but he just nodded slightly when he heard the words.Zhan Zhao was looking carefully at the side, then turned around and asked Qin Tong in a low voice: "But what's weird?"

Qin Tong shook his head slowly, pondered for a moment, and then walked up the stairs suddenly.As soon as she stepped on it, the old wooden stairs creaked, and Qin Tong walked up slowly with one hand on the railing.

This staircase is not only narrow, but also very steep, and it is very difficult to walk up.Qin Tong couldn't help wondering, Mr. Xu was so old, didn't he find it inconvenient to live on the second floor?While thinking wildly, she raised her eyes to see that she went up three more steps, and it was almost the railing in the middle of this staircase. On a carved wooden flower, the brown blood stained a deep darkness on the black lacquered railing.

There is one such handrail at intervals, with meticulous carvings and flower petals.It's just that I don't want this elegant embellishment to become a murder weapon.

Qin Tong was about to turn around and ask Mrs. Xu why the staircase in the house was so inconvenient and hidden dangers, why not just rebuild it while repainting it.However, the corner of her eyes suddenly caught something, and she couldn't help froze her figure.

It was an inconspicuous stone, lying near the railing on the edge of the stairs, the place was very hidden, if Qin Tong's footsteps hadn't happened to stop here, and just happened to turn around, he probably wouldn't have noticed it.

Seeing Qin Tong stunned, Zhan Zhao tilted his head slightly and followed Qin Tong's gaze, and his heart skipped a beat.

If it was an ordinary stone, it would definitely not make the two lose their composure.However, both Qin Tong and Zhan Zhao could see clearly that the stone was smooth and round, with a moderate size, exactly the same as the migratory locust stone used by Bai Yutang!

Zhan Zhao was just suspicious, but Qin Tong broke out in a cold sweat.She turned through countless thoughts in an instant, and finally moved her footsteps lightly, bent down and stretched out her fingers to pick up the stone.

Zhao Zhao, the head catcher, saw it at a glance, and quickly walked to Qin Tong's side in three steps and two steps. Strange."

Qin Tong suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and turned his eyes to Mrs. Xu like lightning, only to see Mrs. Xu's face was a bit stunned after hearing what the head catcher Zhao said, and then she couldn't help but shed tears, crying: "God see you, my family The master really died unexpectedly. My family is suffering, and I ask the adults to avenge my master's grievances!"

Zhao Yezheng, the head catcher, looked at Mrs. Xu's expression calmly. Seeing her distressed expression, he said: "Men only said that Mr. Xu died strangely, but he never concluded that it was an accidental death. Don't cry first, tell me about your death." Who did the master have any enmity with during his lifetime?"

"My master has always had a straight temper. If you say that you have an enmity, it's not enough, but quarrels with people often happen." Madam Xu wiped her tears and sobbed, "But who would commit such a murder just because of a few quarrels?"

Qin Tong couldn't help but glanced at Zhan Zhao, she had an intuition that the matter was not so simple - Bai Yutang had just had an argument with Xu Langzhong, and Xu Langzhong died that night, leaving behind a piece of Bai Yutang's Unique hidden weapon.But Bai Yutang was supposed to come back before holding the lamp, but for some reason he didn't return until late at night.

Zhao, the head arrester, doesn't know that Bai Yutang visited yesterday and quarreled with Xu Ling. If he knew, he would definitely arrest Bai Yutang and question him in detail.At that time, with Bai Yutang's temper, how could he be willing to be subpoenaed by the government?How should it end when there is a quarrel?

These thoughts flashed through Qin Tong's mind in an instant, and she grabbed Zhao, who was about to question Mrs. Xu carefully, and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhao, I have something to tell you, let's take a step to talk."

The head catcher Zhao looked at Qin Tong in surprise, and then nodded after a while, and came downstairs with Qin Tong.The two went out and stood under an old willow tree in the corner of the yard.Qin Tong took a glance and saw that there was no one around, so he said, "Brother Zhao, to be honest, the brothers in this case can no longer follow."

"Why is this?" Zhao Wenyan, the head catcher, was taken aback, "It's thanks to Brother Yu's insight, brother Yu just got some clues, why did he give up again?"

Qin Tong frowned and asked, "Brother Zhao, do you know who visited Xu's house last night?"

"This..." Zhao, the head catcher, couldn't help but sneered, "Last night, I was busy for half the night. Because I suspected that the crime was committed by a family thief, I only focused on sorting out the situation at home on weekdays, but I didn't ask about yesterday's situation." He turned to ask, " I don’t know why brother made such a statement? But is there any clue?”

Qin Tong nodded slightly, and said: "I went to Beijing this time to seek medical advice with my companions. Yesterday I had something to do and couldn't escape, so it was my companions who came to visit Mr. Xu alone."

Zhao Wenyan, the head catcher, narrowed his eyes, and only after a while did he say: "It seems that brother Qin's companion happened to have a dispute with Xu Langzhong yesterday?"

"Exactly." Qin Tong smiled wryly, "My brother is reckless, and he is always outspoken. If I knew something like this would happen, I shouldn't have let him come here by himself yesterday." She spoke suddenly and again Seriously said, "Although I said that, my younger brother didn't mean that my companion would murder Mr. Xu's life for this. It's just that my father taught by example, and I know that we should avoid suspicion at this time, and I hope Brother Zhao Haihan." She said and said It's a bow.

The head catcher Zhao hurriedly moved away, waved his hands again and again and said: "Where is this talking, brother Qin can distinguish between public and private, so I naturally understand."

"So, thank you, Brother Zhao." Qin Tong smiled, but he was still frowning, hesitant to speak, and Zhao, the head catcher, knew that Qin Tong had something to say when he saw this, so he said: "Brother Qin has something to say but say It doesn't matter, why should we brothers be so divided."

Qin Tong then said: "Since that's the case, my younger brother will be outspoken." She glanced into the room and said in a low voice, "My companion is a knight-errant, known as Chinchilla Bai Yutang. He has a unique hidden weapon. It's called the Locust Rock."

"Flying locust stone?" Zhao, the head catcher, raised his eyebrows suddenly, "Brother, what do you mean, that stone just now is your companion's unique hidden weapon?"

Qin Tong was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Exactly."

Zhao Wenyan, the head catcher, was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "There is such a coincidence! Brother, don't worry, my brother always handles cases with justice. It is difficult to settle a case with just a stone, and you have to ask more questions to make a conclusion."

"Thank you, Brother Zhao." Qin Tong gave another solemn salute upon hearing the words, and said, "It's not easy for my brother to go in again, so I'm leaving. The eldest brother also knows where the two of us are staying, and the brother is waiting for you at any time."

Zhao, the head catcher, waved his hand and said, "Brother, go slowly, Brother Yu won't see you off." The two were polite, and Qin Tong turned and left.

After leaving Xu's residence, Qin Tong immediately rushed to the inn with brisk steps. She knew that according to Zhao's temperament, she would probably go to Bai Yutang for questioning after inspecting the scene. Persuade Bai Yutang to restrain his temper and cooperate with the government's investigation.

After all, Zhan Zhao is still by Zhao's side.That's why Qin Tong saw the Locust Rock, but never spoke to Zhan Zhao.Zhao Shang, the head catcher, didn't know about Zhan Zhao's grievances with Bai Yutang, since Zhan Zhao was by his side, he could be regarded as having his own help.

But Bai Yutang would really sell Zhan Zhao's face?Qin Tong was afraid that Bai Yutang's temper would be aroused when he saw Zhan Zhao, and he might not look good on both sides.

She was worried all the way, but her steps were not slow at all, and she rushed back to the inn in a short while.It was almost noon at this time, and the inn was buzzing with people. It was very lively, but Qin Tong had no intention of lingering. He strode up to the second floor, opened the door and entered the room.

The little maid outside was sitting in the corner of the room dozing off. She was startled when she heard the muffled noise. She raised her eyes and saw Qin Tong. She hurriedly got up and saluted, "Master, you are back. Master Bai is in the room with the girl."

"Well, no one came here a while ago, right?" Qin Tong asked as he raised his foot and walked into the room.

The little maid hurriedly said: "No one, only the guy from the inn came to ask about the meal once." Qin Tong felt relieved when he heard this, and strode into the room.He opened the curtain and saw that Bai Yutang was sitting on the side, seeing Qin Tong coming in, he quickly gestured for her to be gentle.

As expected, Qin Tong stepped lightly and saw that Qinglian was fast asleep on the bed.She asked softly, "How long have you been asleep?"

"Just fell asleep," Bai Yutang whispered, "I haven't had much energy all morning, so don't disturb her."

Qin Tong beckoned Bai Yutang to come out, and sent the little maid inside to watch.Bai Yutang was confused, came out and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I went to Xu Langzhong's house the other day." Qin Tong said, looking carefully at Bai Yutang's expression while talking.

Bai Yutang really raised his eyebrows and asked, "Will he give Qinglian a diagnosis and treatment?"

"Zeyan," Qin Tong did not answer, but lowered his voice, "Do you know that Dr. Xu was killed last night?"
