At this time, a maid in charge of the side room came in.
"Madam, Director Yang and Mr. Tian Chunta said they want to come visit you..."
When Teacher Kawaka heard what the maid said, she immediately stood up from her seat.
"Madam, I'll take my leave first. Before I go to Hongye Town, I will come to visit you again."
When Director Yang and Tian Chunda came in, they happened to pass by Teacher Chuanxiang. Tian Cunda looked at Teacher Chuanxiang’s dignified back and said, “What a special guest!”
"Yes! She is my guzheng teacher." Hong Xiangsong said.
"Can't she see?"
"Yeah, but it's not completely invisible...have the results of the fingerprint identification come out?"
Hong Xiangsong turned to Captain Tian.
"No, it hasn't been released yet. But before that, I have something I want Zuo Qing to take a look at."
Hong Xiangsong then called Zuo Qing over, and Zuo Qing walked into the room as soon as he heard his mother's call.
"Ah! Sorry, I came here to ask you to take a look at this thing."
When Captain Tian took out the handkerchief stained with sticky blood, Hong Xiangsong's eyes opened wider than Zuo Qing's.
"Ah! Where was this handkerchief found?"
Director Yang then briefly told them what the boss of Kashiwawu said.
"Because this handkerchief has the words "Study in America Friendship Association" printed on it, I think Zuo Qing may be able to provide us with some clues..."
Zuo Qing thought silently for a while, then faced Hong Xiangsong and said, "Mom, where will I put the things I brought back when I come back?"
"I keep it all in the closet."
Hong Xiangsong opened the closet and took out a cloth bag. I saw clothes, bags for groceries, etc. in the cloth bag. Zuo Qing opened the cloth bag, took out a hand towel and said:
"They gave me this kind of hand towel when I came back to China..."
Zuo Qing's handkerchief was printed with the words "Study in America Friendship Association".
"I see. But, Zuo Qing, do you really not know who this person is? He calls himself Tian Sanping and lives in Xingwang Community, Beicheng District, Nanguang City."
"Ah! What did you say?"
Hong Xiangsong suddenly let out a scream.
"You mean Xingwang Community, Beicheng District, Nanguang City?"
"Well, yes. Madam, do you know where it is?"
"That's the community where we live in Nanguang City!"
Hearing this, Tian Chunda couldn't help but open his eyes.
Director Yang also looked nervous.
"In this way, the masked man becomes more and more closely related to the murder that occurred last night. Zuo Qing, do you really not know who this person is? Could it be your schoolmate, or did he come to visit you after returning to China? Someone who has hurt you, or someone who has a grudge against you?"
Zuo Qing slowly shook his masked head and said: "I don't know, maybe I have told someone the address of our Nanguang family, but I really can't think of anyone who would come to Hongye Valley specifically."
"team leader!"
Hong Xiangsong interrupted.
"Just now you asked if anyone had a grudge against Zuo Qing, but the problem is: it was not Zuo Qing who was killed, but Zhu Wenwu!"
"Yes, you are right."
"By the way, madam." Captain Tian changed his tone slightly at this time.
"In the meeting last night, only people from the Hongli family could participate, right?"
"Yes! Except for Zhu Shi and Mr. Gu Gong, they are all members of our family."
"So does Yuan Zhuang..."
"What did you say?"
Hong Xiangsong opened his eyes wide with a disapproving expression.
"How could he attend such an occasion? Yuan Zhuang is just a servant no matter what, and he has no qualifications to enter that room!"
"Well, that's true. I just want to know where Yuan Zhuang was and what he did last night."
"I don't know, but he might be mending the fishing nets. Because he came to me last evening and asked me to give him the old guzheng strings."
According to Hong Xiangsong, Yuan Zhuang is a master at casting a net. When Hong Li was still alive, he often took him to Hongye Lake to cast a net for fishing. The two of them even went all the way to Tianlong River to fish!
"Yuan Zhuang is a man with very skillful craftsmanship...Huh? Could it be that he..."
"No, it's nothing."
At this time, a policeman rushed in because Zhu Wenwu's body had already surfaced.
*******
The reason why Zhu Wenwu's body was found so quickly was all thanks to the storm.
Although the out-of-control storm hindered the search work, it also accidentally brought Zhu Wenwu's body to the lake.
As soon as Tian Chunda and Director Yang heard the news that the body had surfaced, they immediately rushed to the water gate.
They pushed aside the crowd of onlookers and saw a man wearing a wide-brimmed waterproof hat and waterproof jacket coming ashore from a small boat, all wet.
"Ah! Thank you very much for yesterday."
The man spoke to Tian Chunda. Tian Chunda looked at the other party in surprise. It turns out that he is Master Zhiqing, the abbot of Miyun Temple.
"Did you come by boat?"
"Yeah! It's faster this way. You're always going to get wet in a storm like this, so I decided to cross the lake, and I encountered a terrible thing halfway."
"Ah! Do you mean Zhu Wenwu's body?"
"Well, that's right! That corpse has no head... Sigh! It makes me stomach-churning just talking about it..."
Host Zhiqing frowned and shuddered involuntarily.
"Ah! Yes! Thank you for your hard work."
"No, it's nothing... Then I'll take the first step."
Host Zhiqing was holding her travel bag and was about to move forward when she was stopped by Tian Chunda.
"Ah! Host Zhiqing, please wait a moment."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"I have something to ask you. Isn't it convenient?"
"That's it...I don't know what you want to ask, but I will be waiting for you at any time. So, goodbye."
After Master Zhiqing left, Tian Chunda turned back and looked at the lake.
Outside the sluice gate, in addition to the police steamboat, there were two or three small boats floating on the lake like leaves.
I saw serious-looking police officers coming in and out of the steamboat, and Director Yang was among them.
After a while, Director Yang walked out of the steamboat while wiping his sweat.
"How about it?"
"Oh! Even if you pay me to go see that thing next time, I won't do it."
Director Yang frowned and sighed frequently.
"Is that Zhu Wenwu's body?"
"Yes! I will invite his family members to come and identify the body in the next few days, but Dr. Nantian has checked it two or three times before, and he said there is absolutely no mistake."
Nantian is a doctor in the town, and this time he was entrusted by the police to do an autopsy.
"I see, this shouldn't be wrong. By the way, has the cause of death been found out? I don't see any trauma on the head of the deceased..."
"Well, the murderer stabbed the deceased in the chest with a knife from the back, killing him with one stab. Nantian said that the deceased might have died before he could scream."
"So, where is the murder weapon?"
