Nongmen Shenjue

Although the town is small, it has a complete line of business.

The two walked around casually and entered the tailor shop.Tailoring is also an ancestral craft. Tailor Gan's parents are gone, and he has no brothers or sisters. He is the only one.He has a shop, a handicraft, a certain family background, and a well-rounded person, and because he is a tailor, he is not exposed to the sun and rain like others, and he is gentle when he looks closely.It was precisely because of this that he married the Yun family.Although Yun's family background is ordinary, but they are outstanding in appearance and have a docile temperament. The Yun family also looked at Tailor Gan's appearance and good temper, and his personal possessions were not bad, so they became relatives.

It's a pity that although the two got married harmoniously, they had no children. When the Yun family was around, someone wanted to make a tailor, and now they are naturally more eager.

It was still early, when Mu Qingyan and the others came to the tailor shop, there were two old ladies standing inside, talking to Tailor Gan.Tailor Gan supported him with a smile, but his expression was a little impatient, because they were all neighbors, so it was not easy to put on a cold face.

Looking up to see a customer, Tailor Gan came up to him as if he had been rescued: "Guests, do you want to make clothes or buy materials? Here are some new high-quality cotton cloths, which are of good color, fine and thick, and are suitable for tailoring clothes in winter." .”

Tailor Gan said as he sized up the two of them.

Undoubtedly, the two have outstanding looks and excellent temperament, but compared to the dangerously handsome Wen Jixue, Tailor Gan couldn't hide the look in his eyes when he saw Mu Qingyan.

A cold look flashed in Wen Jixue's eyes.

Mu Qingyan touched him calmly, and took a step back.

Wen Jixue understood, and stepped forward tacitly: "Let me see the material."

Tailor Gan didn't notice it, and hurriedly asked him to look at the various fabrics.

Mu Qingyan let go of the ability, and time went back to the day when Yun Shi died——

In the middle of the afternoon, Tailor Gan left the tailor shop and went south along the main street of the town.Tailor Gan carried a bamboo basket in his hand when he left home. The basket was covered with a cloth, so it was hard to see what was in it, but many neighbors greeted him while walking on the street. When asked, Tailor Gan said that he was going to his aunt's house to deliver clothes.

Tailor Gan's father and mother are long gone, and his aunt is the closest.The townspeople didn't get suspicious, they repeatedly praised Tailor Gan for his filial piety, which was no worse than his own son, not to mention the sour tone.

All the shops are old neighbors, and they talk to each other at the door when they have nothing to do.

Tailor Gan passed by, sparking a lot of topics.It’s so convenient in a small place. If you see someone casually, you will ask them when you catch them, and you will talk when they leave.If the murderer wasn't Qiao Jiahe, it would be difficult to pinpoint the murderer, because too many people knew that Tailor Gan was not at home that night.

Furthermore, the Yun family was hacked to death, who would bring the murder weapon to the door?Premeditated crime?Is it money or color?Ruotu, Yun's clothes were intact, and he fell on the ground in the middle of the shop.If you want to make money, there is no loss of property in the tailor shop.

It's like someone who has a grudge against Yun's, coming straight to Yun's.

It was getting dark, Yun Shi came out from the backyard, stood at the door of the shop and looked out.There is an oil lamp in the house, although the light is shallow, but there are inns separated by a few houses with big lanterns, and there is a restaurant on the opposite street, which is also brightly lit.The light shone on her. She wore a blue jacket with a peach red pleated skirt, revealing a pair of blue embroidered shoes. After careful drawing, even standing under the lights at night, the seven-point beauty can also be very beautiful.

This is Yun's, she is really good-looking, and she can't complain that Qiao Jiahe can worry about her.

Yun Shi glanced in the direction of the inn, frowning slightly, slightly anxious.

Just as she was about to turn back to the back room, she heard footsteps approaching, and when she looked back, disgust flashed across her face very quickly, because of the lack of light, it was hard to notice if she wasn't careful: "Brother Ang, what's the matter?"

This Brother Ang is a man in his thirties, not tall, but very strong.He was wearing a half-worn sheepskin jacket, with a fur hat on his head, and he was full of smiles, but his face was pitted and ugly, and he had a gangster air, which made people afraid to look at it.

"Brother and sister, the night is long, let me sit with you." Brother Wu said, getting closer.

Yun's complexion darkened, and he backed up while yelling: "You're talking nonsense! You surnamed Wu, get out of here quickly, or my man will come back and want you to look good!"

Seeing her lack of expression, Brother Ang also turned cold: "You man? Your man's body is not big enough for me to poke with one finger! Besides, who doesn't know that your man has gone to his aunt's house. You are the only one left in your house to guard the vacant room! I kindly come to spend the night with you, you don’t know how to flatter me!”

"You! You dare to act recklessly, I'm calling someone!" Yun Shi was afraid in his heart, but he didn't let the wind fall in his mouth, and he didn't believe that he dared to kill someone.This is a street, not a deserted alley.

"You don't have to drink a toast! You thought I didn't know, but you hooked up with that rich young man in the inn, and you dressed up specially tonight, are you waiting for him?"

"Nonsense!" Yun Shi panicked, she didn't expect to be seen through by him, but she made up her mind not to admit it.

The man surnamed Wu lost his patience and fiercely grabbed Yun's lapel: "Are you going to follow or not? If you don't, I'll kill you!"

Yun's mouth opened to shout: "Come here—"

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, a knife slashed over.

The knife was fierce and cruel, and Yun fell to the ground with blood bubbling from his neck, he opened his mouth wide and could not make a sound, and he died not long after.

The man surnamed Wu clenched the chopping knife in his hand, as if to comfort himself: "Stinky bitch! I don't know how to flatter you! You asked for it!"

As he spoke, he didn't dare to wait any longer, and looked towards the street with his head, then quickly ran out of the tailor's shop and disappeared into an alley.

After returning from the tailor shop, Mu Qingyan described, Wen Jixue's portrait, and drew the appearance of the murderer.Although he learned from Wen Jixue for a while, his painting skills are still far from being a master.After making adjustments over and over again, and drawing several pictures in a row, the draft was finally finalized.

"That's it, it looks like seven or eight points, enough."

Give the portrait to Gao Chun and order them to look for it in the town.

"It's been too long. I'm afraid the murder weapon has already been disposed of. It will be very troublesome if the other party refuses to admit it. More evidence or witnesses are needed." Mu Qingyan is very clear that he can indeed trace back the incident by using his ability , but for others to believe, especially the yamen's arbitrariness, there must be solid evidence.

Logically, the best witness is the inn proprietress, Mrs. Pan, but for the sake of reputation and stability, Mrs. Pan will not admit it even if she dies.

Mu Qingyan recalled the night in the flashback, when it was too early for the holidays, but because it was cold in winter and it was dark early, people used to eat early and stay at home to warm up by the fire, and went to bed early.There are shops on both sides of the town street, people sleep late, but no one will stand at the door of the shop to blow the cold wind.

After all, it is a small town, not as lively as the city.

Gao Tian knocked on the door suddenly and came in with a strange expression on his face: "My lord, someone went to Tailor Gan's house."

"who?"

"It's a young man named Fu Maocai. He calls Tailor Gan 'brother-in-law'. He should be Yun's cousin. But..." Gao Tian said with a sigh: "The two went to the bedroom in the back room together. Hug together and roll on the bed."

Wen Jixue showed surprise, turned to look at Mu Qingyan, but was not surprised to see him.

"you know?"

Mu Qingyan smiled and said: "Qiao Jiashu told me in private. Why do you think Tailor Gan is as good as Qiao Jiahe in just a few days? Qiao Jiahe was after Yun's idea, but he didn't know that Tailor Gan was also after him secretly. I can even guess that if Qiao Jiahe really had a relationship with Yun, it would be like being held by Tailor Gan. Qiao Jiahe agreed to his wishes, so he testified to exonerate him, but Qiao Jiahe turned pale with fright, scolded Tailor Gan severely, and ran back to the county overnight."

"It's been kept a secret."

"Of course, Qiao Jiahe has the nerve to say it? No one will believe it." Mu Qingyan also felt that Qiao Jiahe did it on his own.

Even, Qiao Jiashu may not have said everything, or Qiao Jiahe has already suffered a loss, but he has no face to say it, no matter how much he hates, he can only grit his teeth and swallow his blood.

"Check this Fu Maocai. If he is really Yun's cousin, then his relationship with Tailor Gan is by no means a day or two. Maybe we can get some clues from him." In Mu Qingyan's view, the Wu surname It is impossible for the man to know that Tailor Gan is not at home by chance, so he should have long coveted Yun's appearance and stared at him secretly. It happened that Tailor Gan went out that day, which made him think he had a chance.

Since this person will keep an eye on the tailor shop because of Yun, what about Fu Maocai?

Fu Maocai maintained an shady relationship with Gan Tailor, so he must be very concerned about the tailor's business, and Yun's is his cousin, so there is a reason for it on the surface.Will they know about the existence of a man surnamed Wu?

Suddenly there was noise downstairs, tables and chairs overturned, mixed with women's cries.

Several people came out of the room, and their voices became clearer when they walked to the stairs.

The woman who was crying was Mrs. Pan, and she was crying and defending: "I can't live through this day, you don't need to do it, give me the rope, I hang myself clean!"

"My lady, why are you so angry, how can a husband and wife not quarrel, it is not worthwhile to seek death." Neighbors from the neighborhood have come to persuade the fight, the woman persuaded Pan, and the men stopped Bao Dagui.

Bao Dagui was full of anger. Seeing so many neighbors, he had no choice but to throw the stool in his hand on the ground, and you cursed in frustration: "Unlucky bitch!"

"What is it worth getting so angry about? Calm down, women, just scold a few words, your wife is so good, she is willing to beat her."

Bao Dagui's face was pale and white, and finally he could only choke out a sentence: "She only knows how to spend money, but she doesn't know how difficult it is to earn money. It's easy for me to save some money. She wants clothes and jewelry at one moment, and dares to pester me. It takes a beating to stop!"

"It's such a trivial matter, why bother. Who in our town doesn't envy your wife, they all know that Shopkeeper Bao is the one who loves people the most. On weekdays, none of the clothes and jewelry on the lady's body was given by Shopkeeper Bao. It can be seen that you don't feel sorry for Yinzi, It must be that something has happened recently and I have been angry." This is an old man on the street, and everything he says is good.

Bao Dagui wiped his face, as if he had been persuaded, with shame on his face: "I was confused for a while, and I lost my temper after drinking two glasses of wine, and made all the neighbors laugh at me." Pan's company is not right: "My good lady, don't be as knowledgeable as I am, this time I am wrong."

Pan's head was lowered, and she also shed tears: "It's because I'm not sensible."

The couple are reconciled.

The others chatted and laughed, and then parted ways.

Bao Dagui waited until the people left, and cast a cold glance at Mrs. Pan: "Come in with me!"
