Qi Ning smiled and said: "Then why does Wei Si Shen think this arrangement is for?"
"This...!" Wei Yujiang hesitated for a moment, but did not say it after all.
"Are you worried about blaspheming Mrs. Tantai?" Qi Ning said seriously: "You don't have to worry. Since we are ordered to investigate the truth of this case, everyone can be included in the suspect list, as long as it is a reasonable speculation and It’s not an exaggeration.”
Wei Yujiang cupped his hands and said: "Master Hou, I have thought about it for a long time. The most likely possibility is that Mrs. Tantai wants to remove Mr. Hou, but why she wants to remove Mr. Hou? I haven't figured out the reason for Mrs. Tantai to do this. "
Qi Ning nodded slightly and said: "I said just now that Mr. Hou went to the navy camp at Haishi. The navy camp was only more than twenty miles away from the Dudu Mansion. Starting from the Dudu Mansion, he walked through the streets and alleys of the city. , and then leave the city and rush to the navy camp, which will not take more than half an hour at most."
"Even if Mr. Hou is old and not very fast, half an hour is enough." Wei Yujiang said: "When we arrived at the camp, Mr. Hou quickly met Shen Liangqiu. Shen Liangqiu did not delay and immediately followed Mr. Hou. Back to the city, the round trip only takes about an hour."
Qi Ning said: "So there was about an hour between when the Governor's body was discovered and when Shenliang Qiuzi arrived to put the body down."
At this time, Wei Yujiang had already sensed that Qining seemed to be thinking of something. Looking at Qining, Qining smiled slightly, leaned forward slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Wei Sishen, we have talked about it once before, is there any possibility that Shen Liangqiu is involved?" Regarding this case, or whether Shen Liangqiu might be the murderer, you told me at the time that Shen Liangqiu had an alibi, did I remember it correctly? "
"Master Hou, Mr. Hou rushed to the camp. Even if the horses were slower, they were still running non-stop. After arriving, Shen Liangqiu was in the military camp. This...!"
"I understand what you mean." Qi Ning said: "Sishen Wei, you are in the Criminal Department and have been exposed to various cases all year round. Most of the murderers are good at creating illusions to cover up the clues of the crime. Some of them seem to be very useful. The clues are even loopholes deliberately left by the murderer, with the purpose of leading the investigators astray."
Wei Yujiang nodded and said: "What the Marquis said is absolutely true. The murderer commits the crime, so it is common for a maze to be concealed."
"I just said that some flaws can be seen with the eyes, but the criminal deliberately uses means to cover everyone's eyes, so that what everyone sees is an illusion, but people mistakenly think it is true. This is a means ." Qining stared at Wei Yujiang and said softly: "How to create an illusion, we don't need to go into details. I just want to ask you, Mrs. Tantai's purpose of letting Mr. Hou go to the navy camp is not only to get rid of Mr. Hou, but also Is there any other purpose?"
"This...?" Wei Yujiang paused and then said: "If there is any other purpose, it can only be to delay time."
Qi Ning smiled and said: "That's good. Let me ask you again, if a soldier who has been trained for a long time and has excellent equestrian skills sets out from the city at the same time as General Manager Hou, will he arrive at the camp before General Manager Hou?"
"There is no doubt." Wei Yujiang said immediately: "Not only will he arrive at the camp first, but based on his humble position, he will arrive much earlier than Mr. Hou."
"So even if that person sets off a moment later than Mr. Hou, does he still have a chance to arrive at the camp before Mr. Hou?" Qi Ning stared at Wei Yujiang and asked.
Wei Yujiang nodded and said: "Master Hou, this possibility does exist and cannot be ruled out." The corners of his eyebrows twitched slightly and he whispered: "Master Hou, do you mean...?"
Qi Ning waved his hand and said: "No hurry, no hurry, there is still one last link. As long as the last piece of the puzzle is found, this case will be solved." After thinking for a while, he asked: "Is there anyone from the Governor's Mansion? ?”
Wei Yujiang said: "Shen Liangqiu came to see the Marquis in person before, so I should be careful in dealing with it despite my humble position." Something suddenly occurred to him and he said anxiously: "Yes, Marquis, the Governor will be buried tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Qining frowned and said, "Has it been determined?"
Wei Yujiang said: "Yesterday, someone from the Governor's Mansion sent an invitation, inviting the Marquis to attend the Governor's funeral. I also made it clear that the Governor's funeral will not be held with great fanfare. I heard that everything will be stable on the East China Sea side. Come down and go to the capital to collect gifts for the Governor!"
"Will Mrs. Tantai also have a funeral tomorrow?"
Wei Yujiang said: "Exactly. According to Mrs. Tantai's last wish, she will be buried at sea together with the Governor." After a pause, he said: "The Governor has passed away, and the whole army has not been notified yet. It is said that the Governor will be buried tonight. The coffins of He and his wife will be transported to the navy camp, and the whole army will be notified tomorrow to hold a burial ceremony at sea."
Qi Ning was thoughtful and pondered for a moment before saying: "Since there is a funeral for the Governor tomorrow, we have to make some preparations. Sishen Wei, tell everyone that we will go to the navy camp to attend the sea burial ceremony early tomorrow morning. .”
"But... Lord Marquis, once the Governor and Mrs. Tantai are buried at sea, the case will be over. If you want to continue the investigation...!" Wei Yujiang frowned slightly.
Qi Ning stood up, patted Wei Yujiang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Everything will be decided tomorrow."
Qi Ning and Wei Yujiang discussed briefly, then left the yard and went back to their own courtyard. When they pushed the door open, they found that the door was tied from the inside. They raised their hands and knocked lightly on the door. A voice immediately came from the house: " Who is it?" But it was Tian Xuerong's voice.
Qi Ning responded, and soon the door of the house was opened. After Qi Ning entered the house, Tian Xuerong turned around and locked the door of Wu's house.
The sky had darkened, and an oil lamp was lit in the room. There was a delicate fragrance in the air. Qining glanced at the corner. There was a screen there, and a large bathtub was placed behind the screen. The fragrance was even more... It spread out from behind the screen.
"Master Hou, I... isn't it inconvenient for me to stay here?" Tian Xuerong followed Qining to the table, her cheeks slightly red.
She was currently wearing a man's loose clothes. Although her black hair had been slightly trimmed, it looked wet, and she was obviously a beauty after bathing.
She is indeed fair-skinned and beautiful. The dark-colored men's robe makes her skin even fairer, but the dark-colored clothing also makes her look solemn despite her beauty.
Mrs. Tian has a plump figure, but not fat. She has a slender waist. Even though her delicate body is wrapped in a robe, it still looks round and smooth. The silky silk is close to her skin, making her shoulders round and small. , but the lines of the chest are rather majestic and full.
She wrapped herself very tightly, but a woman's sexiness often lies in how much of her skin is exposed. The soft material outlined her voluptuous and undulating body lines, which made people's hearts beat even more. And she did prove that It turns out that women are sometimes more attractive when wearing clothes.
She is fair-skinned and beautiful, exuding a mature charm. Under the light, she looks like a ripe peach, making people want to take a bite.
It's just that there's a hint of fatigue evident in this beautiful woman's brows.
Although she is not a wealthy woman, she has always been considered pampered in life. After these few days of hard work, not to mention a pampered woman, even a man would be exhausted. Qining knew that Mrs. Tian must be exhausted both physically and mentally at this time. He said softly: "There is no inconvenience. You can't go over to the Donghai Chamber of Commerce for the time being, so as not to cause extra problems and cause other things."
"What the Marquis means...!" Tian Xuerong sat down on the chair beside the table. Under the light, that beautiful face was as bright as a peach and plum. Qining looked at this face and thought that Tian Xuerong could really make his heart beat. The reason may not be her face or her curvy figure, but maybe the feminine scent that exudes from her body. I have to admit that the feminine scent exuded from Tian Xuerong's body is particularly obvious, and also Particularly heartwarming.
"You can rest here for the next two days." Qining said, "We just came back and are in a bit of a hurry. I will send someone to buy you new clothes later...!"
"No, I... my luggage is all over there at the guild hall." Tian Xuerong said hurriedly: "As long as you pick up your luggage, don't prepare additional clothes, and the clothes sent by the Marquis may not fit."
Qining glanced at Tian Xuerong's clothes, which looked particularly loose, but the silky material flowed like water with Tian Xuerong's every movement, not only showing the silkiness of the clothes, but also the smoothness of Mrs. Tian's skin. moist.
"That's fine." Qi Ning smiled and said, "I'll ask someone to pick it up later, but... by saying this, Madam, does she agree to stay here?"
Mrs. Tian lowered her head and said: "I just don't want to cause any more trouble to Mr. Hou. Mr. Hou... If Mr. Hou thinks that I can avoid a lot of trouble by staying here, then... then I will listen to you."
Qi Ning laughed and said: "That's great. If you need anything, just tell me directly. There is no shortage of anything here."
Mrs. Tian hummed softly.
After returning from Haifeng Island, this beautiful woman was really tired. After entering the city, Qining took her directly to the post house and arranged for the lady to take a bath in his room. For a woman, there is nothing better than being in Xin Taking a hot bath after being tired is more energizing. Naturally, Qi Ning couldn't help but follow Mrs. Tian in the room while she was taking a bath. He took the time to see Wei Yujiang. After Mrs. Tian scrubbed her, she put on soft silk. At this time, my whole body felt relaxed, and that kind of comfort seemed to be something I had never felt before in my life.
Now she just hopes to have a good sleep on the soft breasts, but Qi Ning is here, so it is difficult to speak directly, but Qi Ning already knows what she is thinking, and said softly: "You have been tired these past few days. If you have nothing else to do, you can sleep here first without worrying about anyone disturbing you. No one dares to come in this yard without my permission."
"Then... then the Marquis will let me rest here, you... where are you going?" Tian Xuerong seemed to ask casually, but her heart was tense.
Qi Ning raised his hand, scratched his cheek, frowned slightly and said: "This is a problem, I really haven't thought about where to go." He deliberately glanced at Madam and smiled: "But it doesn't matter, there is no place. , I can just lay a bunk on this ground."
Mrs. Tian thought that there were many buildings in this post house. If you wanted to find a place to rest while you were dressed in fine clothes, there were plenty of places, and I'm afraid there was no need to lay a floor.
