Seeing Chen Sijing coming over, Jiang Nuan hurriedly clapped her hands and stood up, standing obediently next to Xu Chunjun, and followed Xu Chunjun to greet Chen Sijing.
Chen Sijing, who was not wearing official uniform, looked even more gentle and modest. He returned greetings to Xu Jiang and the two of them: "You two girls are so elegant."
Xu Chunjun also smiled slightly and said: "It's rare that Mr. Chen is not busy today."
Chen Sijing said: "I originally planned to visit you two at your home after my rest, but I happened to meet you today, so I'll tell you here."
Jiang Nuan and Xu Chunjun asked what was going on.
Chen Sijing said: "The murderer of Liu Er has been arrested and brought to justice."
When the people on the boat heard this, they were surprised and couldn't help but feel happy, and asked: "When did it happen? Who did it?"
"The man was arrested the day before yesterday," Chen Sijing said, "To be honest, I have to thank Miss Xu for her guidance, otherwise it would have been impossible to capture that man so quickly. He is indeed an actor, a cosplayer in the Zhong family's troupe.
My stage name is Xiao Xishi."
"Master Chen, please don't say that. You are the one who made the first contribution, followed by the bell." Xu Chunjun pushed the bell forward and said, "If her sense of smell was not different from ordinary people, we would never have been able to catch this person.
clue."
Before Chen Sijing could speak, the little boy next to him said: "Of course Miss Lingdang has merit, Miss Xu has greater merit! But the hardest and most dangerous one is my young master. The murderer is always on guard.
He had a knife tucked into his body. If my young master hadn’t escaped quickly that day, he would have been seriously injured. Even though my young master is very powerful, he still stabbed his hand..."
"Shut up! There is no place for you to talk here?! You are so rude, you have offended the two young ladies, and you still don't back down!" Chen Sijing scolded his little boy.
Xu Chunjun had noticed that Chen Sijing's left hand was always behind his back. Hearing what his entourage said, he knew that his left hand must be injured.
"Master Chen was not seriously injured, right?" Jiang Nuan asked, "The murderer is really brave!"
"A few minor injuries have healed long ago." Chen Sijing said lightly.
Although this was a reply to Jiang Nuan, his eyes were looking at Xu Chunjun.
"Master Chen, why did that little Xishi kill Liu'er? Did he explain it?" Jiang Nuan was anxious and wanted to know the details as soon as possible.
"We arrest the person, but the criminal department must come to interrogate the criminal." Chen Sijing said, "I have inquired with the people from the criminal department, and he did go to the Xiangmai Tea House that day. And he went there disguised as a woman.
So no one noticed. As for who he went to see, it's not easy to say now. But he had already admitted to the murder. Liu'er ran into him that day. He strangled Liu'er to death and hid it under the tea table.
Dilongli."
When Xu Chunjun heard this, he unconsciously said: "Earth dragon?"
"Yes, we always thought this was strange before, and we could never figure out where he hid Liu'er's body." Chen Sijing said, "The teahouses and restaurants in the capital rely on charcoal basins and stoves for heating.
The teahouse was like this before. However, when it was renovated and rebuilt this spring, an earth dragon was installed. This earth dragon has never been used once. Only the people in the teahouse know about it. I don’t know how the actor knew about it. In desperation, he put the teahouse into the teahouse.
He opened the mat under the table, pried open the partition, and hid the body inside. Although someone came in to clean it, they couldn't clean it so thoroughly. At night, he quietly sneaked back to the teahouse and hid Liu'er's body.
He took it out, threw it out of the north window, and threw it into the river."
"His method is almost the same as what was inferred before." Xu Chunjun said, "Did he also murder the teahouse owner?"
"It's him too." Chen Sijing said, "I have to say that this man's mind is really cunning. He wanted to make the teahouse owner his scapegoat, so he followed him secretly, and when the teahouse owner was drunk, he
Deliberately giving him a lot of wine to make him drunk, and then pretending to hang himself."
"This actor is so clever. If Mr. Chen hadn't been chasing him all the time, he might have been fooled by him!" Jiang Nuan couldn't help but exclaimed, "If you let such a murderer go unpunished, I'm afraid he will cause harm sooner or later.
Man, thank God, I finally caught him!"
"When all the facts of the case are cleared up, it will naturally be revealed to the world." Chen Sijing smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you two girls. The message has been passed on. I'll take my leave."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen."
"Master Chen, walk slowly."
Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan watched Chen Sijing's figure disappear into the willow shade before returning to the boat.
"Sister Xu, what do you think Liu'er broke into before he was killed and silenced?" Jiang Nuan was frightened and confused.
"Master Chen didn't say anything, so we can't speculate too much," Xu Chunjun said.
Although she said this to Jiang Nuan, she had some concerns in her heart. Liu Er had no grudge against the actor at all, so she could let him kill someone, either for money or love.
The guests in the teahouse were all noble ladies, and the actor must be meeting one of them.
Perhaps the actor was the middleman in some deal, and Liu'er overheard the two parties discussing the deal, and the deal must be shady.
But this possibility is very small, because if it really involves the money account, why would the master personally take action?
Just send a housekeeper or a personal maid, and there is no need to put yourself at risk.
Xu Chunjun knew that many families in the capital, especially family members, often used their private money for interest.
But most people will have a dedicated housekeeper who is responsible for this, releasing the money through a reliable intermediary, and then collecting the interest and principal.
If it's not because of money, then it's because of love, and this love must be adultery.
The actor is good at pretending to be a woman, and it is not easy for people to find him when he goes in and out of such occasions.
If someone takes advantage of this to have an affair with him, it will be more secretive than having an affair with an ordinary man.
But these two people didn't expect that their private meeting in the teahouse would be interrupted by Liu'er.
This kind of thing cannot be known to outsiders under any circumstances, so Liu'er will definitely die.
Of course, Xu Chunjun felt that Chen Sijing must know more than what he told them, but there were some things that were really hard to say.
Because it is not difficult at all to find someone to make an appointment with this actor. The teahouse where Liu Er hid his body was the place where they met that day. Moreover, although the shopkeeper in the teahouse is dead, the maids are still there.
, someone must have seen him that day.
"I'm afraid no one will go to this teahouse again." Jiang Nuan shook his head and sighed, "Anyway, I will never go there again."
"Don't think about these unpleasant things." Xu Chunjun patted the back of her hand and said, "Let's go ashore to enjoy the flowers!"
