Ah Feng came near Ouyang Mansion, and some people around him were talking about it.
"Hey, have you heard? Something happened in Ouyang's house yesterday. Master Ouyang's body was stabbed."
"Oh, what a hatred. Someone in this mansion went to report the crime early in the morning. The time should be back soon."
"I don't know if we can find the weirdo who stabbed the body."
"Look, the government officials are coming."
...
Ah Feng looked up and saw a group of government officials approaching, but heard someone next to him say: "Here's Mr. Chen, too. It seems like the case will be solved soon."
Ah Feng asked weakly: "Ah, is this Chen Dutou so powerful?"
The old man smiled easily: "Oh, that's right, the cases that Chen Dutou handles are all major and serious cases, but there is no case that Chen Dutou can't solve. You guys are from out of town, you can tell at a glance I’ve heard of Chen Dutou’s name.”
Ah Feng said flatteringly: "You really don't know, this big brother knows a lot, but I just don't know what is so powerful about Chen Dutou?"
This sentence aroused my brother's addiction: "This Chen Dutou, nicknamed Chen Tieshou, is not only very good at investigating crimes, but also has great skills. No thief has escaped under his hands. In a few years, Tieshou has become a leader." The name spreads louder and louder."
Ah Feng couldn't help but nod. The old man was also deeply encouraged and spoke more and more energetically. Ah Feng finally understood the life of Chen Dutou.
After continuing to compliment his brother a few words, Ah Feng turned and left when he saw Chen Hong disappearing at the door of Ouyang Mansion.
.....
In a side hall of Ouyang Mansion, Chen Hong invited several young masters from Ouyang Mansion and asked Ouyang Fu to accompany them.
When Chen Hong saw that everyone in the hall had arrived, he broke the silence: "Young Master Feng, Young Master Yun, and Miss Yu have offended many of you. I called them here because I want to ask you some questions."
The two young masters and the young lady were a little surprised. Ouyang Feng answered: "I don't know what Chen Dutou has to ask. I will definitely tell you everything."
Chen Hongdao: "Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Feng. Let's start with Mr. Feng. Mr. Feng, where were you on the night your father was killed?"
Ouyang Feng thought for a moment and said: "That night, my father suddenly asked me to go to the study. He also asked the servants to prepare a table of wine and food. He talked with me about many old things and drank some wine. After that, I drank too much and was taken away by the servants. go back."
"Is there any witness?"
"Yes, they are my book boy and a waiter beside my father."
"Can I call these two people and ask them?"
"sure."
The book boy and the waiter were informed, and what they said was true.
The book boy also said: "My young master had vomited that day. Before he left, he drank a little too much and felt uncomfortable. He even asked someone to find some medicine."
Chen Hong frowned: "Medicine? What kind of medicine is it?"
The book boy said: "I don't know. At that time, the master saw that Master Feng had drunk too much, so he asked me to send Master Feng back first."
Chen Hong asked Ouyang Fu: "Manager Ouyang, do you know what medicines the Ouyang family has taken recently?"
Ouyang Fu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The head of the family has not taken any medicine recently."
Chen Hong asked again: "Does the Ouyang family master have the habit of swallowing pills?"
Ouyang Fu frowned, but showed surprise: "There are some elixirs, but they are just maintenance pills."
"Where did that pill come from?"
"this?"
Ouyang Fu hesitated, but didn't know what to say.
Chen Hong frowned and said, "Manager Ouyang, is there anything we can't say about this?"
At this time, Ouyang Yu replied: "Mr. Chen, this has nothing to do with Uncle Fu. The pills my father used were obtained by me from Ziyun Temple."
Chen Hong turned around and looked at Ouyang Yu. She was a young girl with a pale face and a haggard look. Her eyes were covered with red threads, witnessing the cry of her master.
Chen Hong asked softly: "Is this medicine still available?"
Ouyang Yu replied: "There should be some left. I asked my father for two bottles before. The Taoist Priest of Ziyun Temple told me to take one pill every day. It's been half a month now, and my father probably hasn't used up all of it."
Chen Hong said: "Please, Miss Ouyang, take my men to get the medicine."
Ouyang Yu nodded and went with two messengers to get the medicine.
Not long after, the medicine was brought back and Chen Hong ordered his wife to examine it. They found that the medicine was not poisonous and was just used to soothe the throat. There was nothing special about the pills for coughing.
After hearing this, Chen Hong fell silent and thought to himself: "The pills in the corpse's stomach are similar to the pills used to treat coughs. They must have been fooled by human beings, and they must have succeeded. And the people who know about Ouyang Xun taking medicine for coughs must also He is a close person, and it seems that everyone in this house must be suspicious."
Chen Hong looked around and then at Ouyang Yu: "Miss Yu, I wonder why you asked for medicine? What's the reason?"
Ouyang Yu looked at Ouyang Feng, then at Ouyang Yun, and said: "A few days ago, my father beat Brother Yun, but later he got wind disease. After a few days of recovery, he never recovered. I heard about the elixir from Ziyun Temple. It worked very well, so I went to Ziyun Temple to seek medicine, and my father praised me for my filial piety."
Ouyang Yun argued: "I did not cause my father's illness, and I did not expect that my father would become ill because of anger."
Ouyang Feng scolded: "Shut up, if it wasn't for this dandy's temper and the trouble he caused outside, why would my father beat you? Now that my father has passed away, you still don't know his painstaking efforts."
Ouyang Yun whispered: "You know it's not my business to talk about me."
Ouyang Feng was furious: "You are still making excuses."
Ouyang Fu advised: "Master Feng, don't be angry. After all, Master Yun is still young and a bit playful. Now it's more important to let Chen Dutou investigate the case."
Chen Hongdao: "Okay, the investigation is more important. Miss Yu, where were you the night your father was killed?"
Ouyang Yu thought about it: "I stayed at my mother's place for the night. Because my father didn't go back at night, my mother called me over."
Chen Hong turned to Ouyang Yun: "Master Yun, where were you at that time?"
Ouyang Yun said weakly: "Ouyang Ping and I drank together and played all night."
Chen Hongdao: "Who is Ouyang Ping?"
At this time, Ouyang Fu said: "It's Quanzi, Ping'er, Chen Dutou is asking questions, you must always explain."
Ouyang Ping reluctantly said: "I know, dad."
Chen Hong looked at Ouyang Ping, his posture was slouched, his face was pale, and he looked like he was overindulging in lust. He looked at Ouyang Yun again, he looked similar, and he had a discussion in his mind.
"Mr. Ping, what Mr. Yun said is true. What did you do all night long?"
"It lasted all night, um, um, it's hard to say."
Ouyang Fu glared: "Explain honestly."
Ouyang Ping whispered: "Well, the two of us played with the two maids all night, that's it."
As he said this, Ouyang Ping's face was filled with embarrassment, and Ouyang Yun's face was also flushed. Chen Hong and other people who came over could see clearly. At this time, Ouyang Feng also calmed down and said angrily: "How dare you be so ridiculous."
Only Ouyang Yu was kept in the dark. As soon as everyone saw it, they knew it was interesting and stopped talking.
Chen Hong watched with cold eyes, carefully observing the expressions of everyone.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Chen Hong quietly changed the subject: "Mr. Yun, I wonder why you annoyed your father?"
Ouyang Ping thought that he had nothing to do, but he still had to ask himself, he couldn't open his mouth.
Ouyang Fu looked at the situation and said, "Chen Dutou, this does involve some private matters at home, but we can talk about it later."
After hearing this, Chen Hong nodded: "We'll talk about it later. Let's finish the matters at hand first."
Next, Chen Hong asked everyone in front of him about their whereabouts one by one. Except for the old lady and the second wife of the head of the house, everyone else asked questions one by one.
After asking questions here, someone had already written down the questions and answers on paper.
Looking at the current situation, Chen Hong couldn't find any useful clues. At least the Ouyang family head's autopsy proved some problems. Other things were fine and needed to be considered in detail.
Chen Hong said to everyone: "Excuse me, everyone. I have delayed you for a long time today. Now that I have finished asking, please go back and rest first."
Everyone resigned, and Ouyang Yu wanted to say something, but finally looked at Ouyang Yun and said nothing.
Ouyang Fu took Chen Hong out. When no one was around, Chen Hong said: "Manager Ouyang, I was in the lobby just now and saw that you were hesitant to speak, but what about Mr. Yun?"
Ouyang Fu was a little silent, seeming to be thinking about how to speak.
Chen Hong remained silent and waited quietly for the next sentence.
"I asked you just now. Mr. Feng and Miss Yu couldn't say more. It's really because Mr. Yun is too ridiculous."
Ouyang Fu continued: "Master Yun and Miss Yu are from the same mother. Miss Yu has a gentle personality, while Master Yun has a perverse personality."
Ouyang Fu eloquently explained that it turned out that Mr. Yun's dandy temperament was the cause of the trouble.
I think Ouyang Yun was fourteen or fifteen years old, but he was flying around in romantic places. More than a month ago, he was involved in an incident of molesting a common girl. What was even more annoying was Mr. Yun. After snatching it away, he also beat his father.
Later, when the trouble came to the government, the head of the Ouyang family came forward to settle the matter, compensated the woman's family a lot of money, and allowed the woman to join the government as a maid. It was finally settled. The head of the Ouyang family caught Ouyang Yun and scolded him.
Ouyang Yun was young and energetic, but he was unconvinced and retorted a few words to the Ouyang family head. The Ouyang family head suddenly became angry and fainted, which frightened the family. After consulting the doctor, It turns out that I was tired before, but I had a wind disease. Now my Qi and blood are retrograde, so I need to rest carefully.
Therefore, the family reprimanded Ouyang Yun, grounded him, and did not allow him to go out.
After hearing the reason, Chen Hong asked: "Manager Ouyang, do you know that Ouyang Ping is so close to Mr. Yun and there are such things?"
Ouyang Fu said in shame: "I am not strict in my discipline. I only knew that Quanzi and Mr. Yun were just playing around, but I didn't expect that such a ridiculous thing would happen."
Chen Hong looked at Ouyang Fu's appearance and said, "I can't blame Manager Ouyang for this. Poor parents in the world, they all think about their children."
Seeing the door of the mansion, Chen Hong said: "Manager Ouyang will stay here and I will take my leave."
Ouyang Fu bowed and said: "I have taken all the trouble to return the truth to my family head as soon as possible."
Chen Hong responded: "We can only do our best."
Chen Hong and Ouyang Fu left separately, and Ouyang Mansion once again closed its door, as if to close the world.
Pedestrians come and go on the street without any impact.
To be continued.
