After Professor Tan said these words, Qin Xiangxiang didn't ask any more questions. She just stared at the deceased lying on the table quietly.
At this time, Liao Haohai also carefully inspected other parts of the deceased: "No other wounds were found, and no symptoms of poisoning were found."
He frowned: "Is it possible that the deceased was really not dead before he was stabbed? Was he just fascinated by the incense he made?"
Yao Tuiguan snorted: "We'd better let our widowers from Cangzhou give it a try."
This time Liao Haohai walked aside silently.
In the end, Wu Zuo came to the same conclusion as Liao Haohai.
Ambassador Wang Jun sighed: "It seems that this case will become an unresolved case."
Yao Tuiguan said: "Please rest assured, Commander Wang, I will work hard to track down the murderer."
After saying that, he turned to Lu Shaoting: "Commander Lu, please let me bury the deceased now. Professor Zheng has no family members anymore, and only our government will bury him."
Lu Shaoting snorted coldly, but did not intend to let Yao Tuiguan go lightly: "Wang Jun said before that there is a group of thieves in Cangzhou pretending to be us and cheating, eating and drinking. I wonder if Yao Tuiguan has ever seen that person. Partnering with thieves?"
"No." Yao Tuiguan was still confident, "But Xiaguan has always followed only one principle, that is, it is better to make a mistake than to miss it."
It is better to misidentify than to miss. This sentence sounds familiar. Wait, isn't this what their Imperial City Division often says?
Lu Shaoting looked at Yao Tuiguan coldly, but Yao Tuiguan had already turned away: "Work!"
Lu Shaoting was really angry.
Envoy Wang Jun still smiled apologetically: "Then we won't disturb your enjoyment. Please continue."
After all, someone was dead, the guests left one after another, Wazi also stopped, and the bustling Jinmanlou suddenly became deserted.
Mu Xiu frowned: "Professor Zheng is a frequent visitor to Jinmanlou. Now I have to ask the mage to perform a good ritual."
Cui Qingqing said: "Uncle, if anything happens, just call me."
"No, no, it's not like I've never encountered this kind of thing before. Hey, where is Mrs. Qin?"
Qin Xiangxiang disappeared.
Qin Wanwan said: "She went out with Prince Mu."
Liao Haohai came over and asked her softly: "This is your first time seeing such a scene, are you scared?"
Qin Wanwan stared at him and shook her head gently: "I'm not afraid." Although she knew that Liao Haohai was a judge of Dali Temple before, she never thought that the scene was so terrifying... He chose to be a judge of Dali Temple, although he was angry. Ingredients, but also asking for orders for the people.
Liao Haohai didn't know why Qin Wanwan suddenly looked at him with a hint of admiration, but she was naturally very happy inside. She pretended to be calm on the surface: "I'll take you back to your room. By the way, there may be danger tonight, so ask Qingqing to accompany you." Just sleep together."
Cui Qingqing: "..." Is it okay to give up her cousin?
She took a breath and said bitterly: "I don't care about you."
Qin Wanwan smiled and said, "No need, I'm not afraid."
"Then I will guard outside your door." Liao Haohai said.
How could she let him stay outside the room?
When she was in a dilemma, Cui Qingqing gave her an idea: "The rooms in Jinmanlou are big. Wanwan sleeps in the inner room, and my cousin sleeps in the outer room. Can Chunlu sleep in the inner room and step on the bed?"
Cui Qingqing immediately received a look from her cousin: I want you to get into trouble!
It was almost five o'clock, and everything was quiet.
A figure held a lantern and walked calmly in the dark alley.
The alleyway is deep, and people are sleeping soundly at midnight.
The figure stopped in front of a small door, placed the lantern on the ground, and as if he were taking out the key to open the door, he suddenly turned around and shouted sharply: "Who is it!"
The alleyway is filled with dark shadows, and tall crabapple trees spread out their branches in various shapes, casting strange shadows in the alleyway.
No one answered him.
A gust of wind blew and the lantern swayed a few times and was almost blown over. The man quickly stretched out his hand to grab the lantern, but suddenly there was a gleaming knife around his neck.
The man's breathing paused: "You..."
"Tell me, who ordered you to go to Jinmanlou tonight?" the man holding the knife whispered.
"No one ordered me, I went by myself..."
"Hehe, if you don't drink the toast, you will be punished with a drink. If you don't tell the truth, you will end up like your good friend Professor Zheng."
"Did you kill Professor Zheng?" Professor Tan asked excitedly.
"Now that you know it, why don't you recruit the person behind you?" The man said, and the force on his hand was a little stronger, slicing Professor Tan's neck, and tiny drops of blood came out.
"There is no one behind it..." Professor Tan suddenly grabbed the lantern and hit the man hard.
With a "pop" sound, the lantern went dark, and it hit the man with no lethality at all.
The man held the knife and stabbed Professor Tan fiercely.
"Phew!" Something seemed to come out of the air and hit the man's wrist.
The knife fell to the ground with a loud sound.
But the man didn't care about Professor Tan or the knife on the ground, and jumped into the dark alley and disappeared.
Professor Tan took a breath and looked at a light floating in the alley not far away.
It was someone who blew the fire off.
A tall man and a short man walked over slowly. Professor Tan was not surprised when he saw their appearance: "It's you. Is this Prince Mu? Thank you Prince Mu for saving your life."
Mu Ting was not surprised that Professor Tan recognized him. From the moment they entered Cangzhou City, they were in full view of everyone. Anyone who is interested will learn their identities if they make a little inquiry.
"Tell me, Professor Tan, what is going on?"
Professor Tan looked in the direction where the man had fled, with an uneasy look on his face.
"Professor Tan, please don't worry, we have someone to follow him." Mu Ting said.
"Then you two, please come with me." Professor Tan took out the key from his sleeve pocket and opened the courtyard door. "This is my humble residence. Professor Zheng used to come here often."
The courtyard is very narrow, similar to that of the Pan Wenyong brothers in Lane 12.
The only difference is that the aroma of wine wafts in Alley 12, while the aroma of ink is in Professor Tan's home.
The small house is full of books, with only a narrow desk in the middle, and the desk is also piled with books.
Professor Tan lit the oil lamp: "Sorry, there are no extra chairs in the room, so you two can only stand. Oh, if Prince Mu wants to ask about my family, I, like Professor Zheng, are both alone. But the difference is , I have never married a wife in my life. After my parents passed away more than ten years ago, I am the only one left in the family."
The little lady quietly handed over a small jar: "This is Jinchuang Medicine. Stop the bleeding first."
"Oh, okay. Thank you." Professor Tan took the small jar with both hands in panic, took a little powder from it, and applied it to the wound.
"Professor Tan and Professor Zheng have a good relationship," Qin Xiangxiang said, "There is also Qimengxiang here."
Professor Tan smiled and said: "My lady's sense of smell is very sensitive. I haven't lit Qimengxiang here for several days, but my lady can still smell it."
Qin Xiangxiang smiled lightly: "Tell me, why do you want to create the illusion that Professor Zheng was killed?"
