When Fu Mingsui saw his brother's attitude, combined with the words his brother had said before to test the relationship between Ma Guanqun and his father, he had already guessed in his mind that this must be a case within a case.
"Yes!" The constable was about to go out, but unexpectedly Ma Guanqun rushed in: "Master Fu - Master Fu -" Ma Guanqun pushed the constable away and rushed in.
After all, he was the Shangshu, and his official position was actually higher than Fu Mingrui, so it was difficult for those constables to stop him.
"If you don't tell me who the murderer is, at least tell me where my son's body is!" Ma Guanqun's eyes were red and swollen, and he looked haggard.
Fu Mingrui looked at him and frowned. In fact, he didn't know where Ma Yun's body was. However, as the father of the deceased, according to the rules, he did have the right to see the body. If it was normal, the Eight Gates had the right to detain the body before the case was investigated.
But since the suspect confessed, there is no reason to detain him.
Fu Mingrui looked across and said, "Go ask Jiumen. The suspect is over there."
Ma Guanqun was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pot, "But I can't find the Nine Gates! I walked around your eight gates for a whole hour and still couldn't find the Nine Gates! Which way does it open to?"
Fu Mingrui sat there for a while, feeling sullen. How could such a stupid person become the Minister of Finance?! He couldn't even find the door.
However, the whereabouts of Ma Yun’s body is still unknown.
Ever since he followed Lian Youyou next door to investigate a case, all his usual rules and procedures were disrupted. For the first time, he didn't even see the body, and the case was closed.
He stood up coldly: "I'll go with you." He also wanted to know where Ma Yun's body was now.
"Okay, okay, thank you Master Fu, thank you Master Fu." Ma Guanqun looked older after this experience.
Seeing his brother was going to Jiumen, Fu Mingsu had an idea in his mind, so he stood up and followed Fu Mingrui. Fu Mingrui looked at him, but did not stop him, and took Ma Guanqun to Jiumen.
The Nine Gates used the backyard of the Eight Gates, so if you went out from the back door of Fu Mingrui's yard, next door was the main gate of the Nine Gates. It was so close, just two steps away.
Ma Guanqun stood blankly in front of the tattered little door of the Ninth Gate. He had clearly passed by here just now, so why didn’t he see it
"This is the Nine Gates." Fu Mingrui pointed at the Nine Gates, but he did not get close to them. On the contrary, he was still very far away from the ground.
Fu Mingrui looked at his brother's appearance and was curious. He wanted to go forward to take a look, but his brother held him back and shook his head. His expression was almost the same as if he had seen a ghost.
"Strange, I just walked by here and didn't see this door." Ma Guanqun looked at the Nine Gates in confusion, "I remember it because there was a carriage here." Ma Guanqun pointed to the carriage parked next to the Nine Gates. At this time, the Yi family's lights on the carriage had been removed by Master Yao Guang. Without the lights, it couldn't be said to be the Yi family's.
In the past, Fu Mingrui would have thought that Ma Guanqun was too worried and in a bad mood to pay attention. But after what happened last night, he felt that the Nine Gates were becoming more and more weird.
"Mr. Yao Guangda—Mr. Yao Guangda—" Ma Guanqun shouted at the door.
"Master Yao Guang is not here~~~~~" A voice that was obviously a man shouting at the top of his lungs came from inside, "He went out to buy something~~~~" The person inside seemed to be worried that people outside would not believe it, so he added another sentence.
Fu Mingrui had already recognized that it was Fatty Yao's voice, and it was obvious that Yao Guang didn't want to see Ma Guanqun either.
But Ma Guanqun believed it. He stomped his feet anxiously at the entrance of the Nine Gates: "What should I do? What should I do? No! I must meet the murderer today and make him tell me Yun'er's whereabouts!" Ma Guanqun gritted his teeth and tried to break into the Nine Gates with red eyes.
Just when Fu Mingrui was about to stop them, Lian Youyou and his group came back in large numbers!
The large group of people was so huge that they filled up the alley. The men were all carrying bags, big and small, piled up in their hands. Three women were walking in front of them with unbridled steps.
"Miss Lian!" Fu Mingrui saw Lian Youyou walking in front and eating lamb skewers, and hurriedly pulled Ma Guanqun, "Miss Lian knows where your son is."
When Fu Mingsu heard this, he immediately looked towards Lian Youyou and was stunned. What? The Miss Lian that his second brother kept talking about was actually... an ordinary woman like that
Lian Youyou was wearing the same clothes as an ordinary girl today. An ordinary girl would dress up, but she didn't even do that. She didn't put any makeup on her face, and she didn't wear any gold or silver in her hair.
Sanniang beside her instantly crushed her. She was walking among the crowd, and if she wasn't looking carefully, she would be easily overlooked. In addition, she walked in a domineering manner, eating skewers while walking. If Fu Mingrui hadn't called Lian Youyou "girl", Fu Mingsu would have almost thought Lian Youyou was a street thug.
Therefore, when Fu Mingsu looked at her, he was already attracted by Sanniang beside her. He had heard for a long time that there was a beauty named Sanniang among the Nine Gates, and when he saw her today, it was indeed true.
"Miss Lian!" Fu Mingrui immediately went to meet her. Lin Tingjun, who was standing behind Lian Youyou, immediately stepped out and blocked his way. He did not look at Lin Tingjun, but only at Lian Youyou. "Master Ma wants to collect the body."
Fat Buddha and Sanniang exchanged glances for a while, then ran away. Each of them crouched and quietly walked along the wall, not forgetting to close the nine gates after entering.
Lian Youyou raised her eyebrows and stretched out her hand. He Shiqi immediately handed the skewers to her respectfully. While chewing on the lamb skewers, Lian Youyou glanced at Ma Guanqun who was standing at the nine gates.
Ma Guanqun didn't know Lian Youyou, so he approached Fu Mingrui with a puzzled look on his face: "This is..."
"I'm the manager of the Nine Gates. I have the final say on all matters concerning the Nine Gates." Lian Youyou looked at Ma Guanqun with a skewer in her hand, "Are you sure you want to collect your son's body?"
“What do you mean by that?!” Ma Guanqun became angry. After all, he was the Minister of Revenue and would not take an ordinary person like Lian Youyou seriously. His tone immediately became arrogant, “That’s my son! You Nine Gates have no right to detain him! Today, I want to see him alive or dead! Otherwise, I will drag your master to the emperor to seek justice!”
Ma Guanqun was furious. He didn't dare to ask more questions in front of Fu Kun. He didn't dare to ask more questions in front of Fu Mingrui because of Fu Kun's status. But in front of this little Lian Youyou, he could finally shout out all the frustration in his chest.
Fu Mingrui, who was standing by, didn't know why his scalp was numb. He felt that Lian Youyou's words were unusual, just like when Lian Youyou asked him last night: Are you sure you want to watch it
If I hadn't watched it at the time, I would have been curious for a while. But after watching it, I regretted it for the rest of my life.
"Tsk tsk tsk." After Ma Guanqun finished yelling, Lian Youyou remained calm, with contempt and disgust in her eyes. (To be continued)
