Full-level real daughter: first-class female forensic doctor

Chapter 94 Guess
Naturally, she wanted to watch the fun at home.

The dream last night was so suffocating, and now I urgently need to watch a few more Cheng family dramas to enjoy myself.

Chu Wei said: "It should be in the afternoon."

After all, the Cheng family had different identities, so Chu Wei decided to go there in person.

While they were talking, the two walked to the study room, where the specially hired maid was still cleaning the table. Xinnuo asked Chu Wei what he wanted to see, went in and took it out, and took him to sit on two rows of chairs under the loquat tree.

The morning sunlight is dappled on my body. The heat of the sun has not completely subsided, and there is still a coolness in the air. Sitting under the tree and reading a book, no matter what book I am reading, I feel a bit comfortable.

"When did the chairs get added here?"

Or a bench fixed to the ground.

Xinnuo smiled and said: "I asked someone to do it, how about it, isn't it good?" He pointed to the grass not far away, "I'm also going to ask someone to put some big stone piers there, and then build a gazebo. Isn’t it great to eat barbecue there?”

Chu Wei nodded, not looking like he particularly liked it.

Xinnuo thought to himself, when the barbecue is arranged, you will taste really good.

In fact, he didn't go to Cheng's house. From Chu Wei's point of view, Cheng's family was not too suspicious, and they had been interrogated before, so there was nothing suspicious.

This time the main purpose was to inquire about the deceased’s ex-husband.

Ningcui's ex-husband, Zhou Cai, divorced her before she was kicked out by the Cheng family. He was naturally the most important person to investigate after Ningcui's body was first discovered.

Chu Wei was very busy during this period, and he only asked the other party a few questions at that time. Now it has been put on hold for seven or eight days. Zhao Captou was ordered to investigate the backstreets of the Cheng family and Luohua Lane, and got more clues.

But these are not enough to convict a person. Although Chu Wei has the power to summon anyone, in the absence of sufficient evidence, he prefers to visit in person.

Zhou Cai is the steward of the Cheng family and is considered a respectable servant, so his house in the back street of the Cheng family is not bad.

Xinnuo rode the little white horse assigned to him by the yamen all the way, and followed Chu Wei easily where he was waiting. When he saw him walking to the back street of Cheng's house, he asked curiously: "Aren't you going to Cheng's house?"

After lunch, she asked Master Chu for leave and happily followed him out. She accepted Zhang Ku's case files as he wanted to accompany him.

"I happen to be going home and can help Mr. Chu."

That's what she said at the time.

His big white and well-jointed hands loosely pulled the reins, and Chu Wei said, "Of course, isn't this the scope of the Cheng family?"

Xinnuo: I suspect you are playing tricks on me on purpose.

Chu Wei added: "You are now a member of the Jingzhao Mansion. If you are in the palace for a day, you should not be selfish towards anyone or anything."

Xinnuo's eyes widened in surprise, "How could I be selfish for the Cheng family? I just like to see their family members embarrassed."

At this time, the horse turned into the back street, and the houses in front were densely packed together. There were many children playing outside, making this not-so-wide street even more crowded.

Chu Wei turned over and dismounted, and when Xin Nuo was about to get off, he turned from the horse's head, holding his horse with one hand and Xin Nuo's horse with the other.

Although he didn't say anything, it was meant to keep her on the horse without getting off.

A smile appeared on Xinnuo's lips, and she was about to say thank you, when the man who only gave her a nice look on the back of his head continued the topic: "Bad selfishness, let alone bad intentions."

Xinnuo:---
He raised his hand and pointed it at his back.

"What are you doing?" Chu Wei turned around very sensitively.

Xinnuo smiled, "It's okay."

Pointing to the front, he said, "There are adults in front of me. Should we ask the neighbors first?"

The houses here all have a passage that is three feet long and one foot wide. In summer, the passage is cool and pleasant, and it is the old lady's favorite place to chat.

"Are you asking Manager Zhou in front?"

The old lady holding the needle and thread narrowed her eyes and looked at the two young men. Although most of the people living in the backstreet of the Cheng family were servants of the mansion, not all the servants' family members could enter the mansion to serve them.

The old lady obviously didn't know Xin Nuo. After hearing the questions they raised, she smiled and said, "There's nothing to say."

"Why is there nothing to say?" Xin Nuo asked strangely.

The old lady seemed to be a gossip. She looked around and saw no one, so she whispered: "Some people came to inquire about him before, and some talked about Manager Zhou's shortcomings. There was a big quarrel between the two families." .”

It's not like I don't want to say it at all.

Xinnuo knew some of the gossipy old ladies' common traits, so he quickly asked again and again.

Seeing such a positive girl with a strange expression of excitement flashing on her face, Chu Wei couldn't react for a while.

He used to be an official at Dali Temple and spent half of his time among the people every year, investigating unsolved cases in various places. Therefore, he had a lot of experience in talking to old ladies in the countryside.

When he encounters someone who is unwilling to say anything when asked, he will know that he has some scruples, and then he will stand up and leave.

In order to prevent the girl from being embarrassed if she couldn't ask anything, Chu Wei was about to leave. Anyway, with so many people on this street, they could always ask.

"That's a shortcoming that's easy to say or not." Before Chu Wei could say anything, the old lady had already glanced at the street twice and said mysteriously, "Manager Zhou is not good at that."

Xin Nuo was just about to ask, but then he reflected on it and said with surprise and clarity: "It's not good in that aspect."

Chu Wei: Do you know what that aspect is?

He coughed unconsciously.

Neither the old lady nor Xinnuo had time to pay attention to him. The old lady nodded eagerly and said: "No, let's just say, when Ningcui worked with Manager Zhou before, why was she so powerful? She threw pots and bowls every day. Manager Zhou didn't dare to say anything."

Xin Nuo nodded sympathetically, "If men can't do it, she will suffer too."

Chu Wei's face turned red all of a sudden, and he teased Xin Nuo: Do ​​you still remember that you were a little girl?
The old lady first agreed, and then realized that the person talking to her about this adult topic was a little girl.

I wanted to say that this little girl was shameless, but when I saw her beautiful and serious expression, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are a little girl, what do you know?"

Xin Nuo smiled and asked, "Grandma, how did you hear about this?"

A grandma's cry made the old lady feel a little closer, and said: "Not only me, but everyone on the street has heard about it. Do you know what's going on in our house? That heartless Ningcui is so vicious." Counting the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family, the law of heaven is reincarnation. If her bad deeds are exposed, the Cheng family will kick her out? Steward Zhou always loves his daughter-in-law on our street, but he didn't care about it that day No matter, she is about to marry the one who exposed Ningcui's bad things, can she swallow this breath? On the day she left, she walked out cursing loudly along the back street."

Xin Nuo asked curiously: "What is she scolding?"

The old lady glanced at the handsome man behind her and said, "You are a little girl, you know these words are not good."

"Grandma, you'd better tell me. I know more, so I won't suffer any disadvantages in the future."

Old lady: Listening to what you said, you already know a lot.

"Any silver pewter tip is nice, but Ningcui scolded me that day. She didn't feel the slightest things, and she didn't have any energy. She didn't do it twice in three days. It's not her fault if she can't have a baby."

Alas, the man next to the little girl was too elegant, like clouds in the sky. The old lady who had gossiped with others so many times was a little embarrassed.

"That's probably what I mean," she waved her hand to indicate that she would stop talking.

Xin Nuo praised her heartily, and then said, "Didn't the manager hate Ning Cui so much that week?"

The old lady was a little cautious now and said with a smile: "We don't know whether we hate it or not. Anyway, Manager Zhou hasn't been out for a long time, and he and his later wife didn't make any big arrangements. I heard from my daughter-in-law that it was just a reward from the government. A bolt of red silk came out, and they went in and kowtowed."

Xin Nuo asked curiously: "Who did Manager Zhou marry afterwards?"

Speaking of which, after she returned to the Cheng family, she had been focusing on Ning Cui who plotted against her, but ignored the person who exposed the matter and plotted against Ning Cui.

There is nothing that cannot be said about this. The old lady said: "She is a maid from the Zhou family. She has been serving Mrs. Zhou."

"That's it," Xin Nuo nodded, "Grandma, we don't have anything to ask anymore. We'll leave if we have anything else to do. I'll give you a taste of this bag of Yin Shuang apricot preserves."

Without waiting for the old lady to say anything, she put down the apricot breasts, turned around, took Chu Wei and left.

The old lady said, "What are you getting me for?" She sounded very unwilling, but then she said with a satisfied voice, "Such good preserved apricots cost five or six hundred cents a bag, it's really grand. "

Chu Wei actually doesn't know much anymore. Do these old ladies like to tell the truth?

"Where is the Zhou family?" Xin Nuo's questioning voice interrupted Chu Wei's thoughts. He raised his finger and pointed, "There is a willow tree in front of the front door."

Xin Nuo asked: "What's wrong with you, you look dumb?"

Chu Wei gave her a complicated look and said, "There are just some things I can't figure out."

Xinnuo just said "Oh" and didn't ask. She was quite happy with the maid who successfully kicked her first wife out of her position.

When he arrived at the door of Zhou's house, Chu Wei walked up and knocked on the door without telling Xin Nuo.

"Who is it?" A charming voice sounded from inside the door.

Xinnuo said, "Do you have something to do with Zhou Cai?"

The voice became less charming immediately, and she said impatiently: "Not at home, you can come back at night."

Chu Wei frowned and said: "Jingzhao Mansion has a question, open the door quickly."

"Ah? Here we come."

It took a while before the door opened from the inside, and a woman with a beaded hairpin and her clothes tied randomly came out. When she saw Chu Wei, her eyes lit up. When she saw Xin Nuo, she rolled her eyes.

"Come in," she said, her voice soft and capable of several turns.

Xin Nuo looked her over. There was no lipstick on her lips, but the corners of her mouth were a little red, and her face was like a peach blossom.

Could it be that this woman was having an affair at home?
The woman led them to the main room, then came in with a pot of tea, poured a cup of tea for Xin Nuo and Chu Wei, and personally brought a cup to Chu Wei, saying in a soft voice: "There is no good tea at home, sir. Don’t be dissatisfied.”

Chu Wei stretched out his hand to block Xin Nuo, and said coldly, "Put it aside."

The woman pursed her lips in grievance, placed the tea cup on the table next to her with a click, turned around and sat down at the head seat, and asked: "You asked me to be the head of the family. Did anything happen to the woman who was taken off?"

"Not yet," Chu Wei said, "Is there anything unusual about Zhou Cai around the fifth day of June?"

The woman snorted, covered her lips with a handkerchief and laughed.

Chu Wei frowned and said, "If you have something to say, don't pretend to be pretentious."

Xin Nuo looked around, and her senior brother really gave her a lot of experience.

Is this just a pretense?When I see a handsome guy, I want to act special.

The woman waved her silk handkerchief nonchalantly, and a gust of fragrant wind blew up. Xin Nuo couldn't help but sneeze, and then rolled her eyes.

Chu Wei didn't look at her, but took out a squarely folded handkerchief and handed it to Xin Nuo.

The woman's eyes turned between the two of them and said: "Are you doubting Zhou Cai? He may seem capable, but in fact he is a coward at heart. He has some grudges with the one in front of him, but he is absolutely Don't dare to kill her."

"What about you?" Xinnuo asked.

The woman was stunned, and said with a smile: "I really like that woman too, but haven't I vented my anger? Now that I eat and drink hot food, I am the hostess of this family. I am worthy of throwing away this good life for her?"

Chu Wei was not distracted from the topic, "You only need to tell me, where did Zhou Cai go around the fifth day of June?"

"How come you, who has the face of a handsome young man, are so ignorant of the beauty and beauty of the jade?" the woman said angrily, and then thought about it carefully: "During those two days, he must have gone to the outskirts of the city to collect rent, hey , what he does outside is related to Mrs. Cheng's business, and he doesn't tell me."

Xin Nuo asked, "Didn't Madam Cheng point it out to Zhou Cai? Could it be that Madam Cheng still doesn't trust you?"

"It seems that you know a lot about the Cheng family." The woman looked at Xin Nuo and smiled: "Mrs. Cheng is a noble lady. What kind of person am I? Even the servants of the servants can't look down on me. Just a glance. Zhou Cai has always been in charge of Mrs. Cheng’s shop and rent collection. There were some things in the past that even the former one was not allowed to know."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

A tall man walked in scolding.

The cloth shoes on his feet were stained with dust, and he was wearing an inconspicuous dark gray cloth coat, with a yellowed robe embroidered with lotus draped over his shoulders.

With such a dusty appearance, it looked like he had gone out to collect rent again.

"My wife is not sensible, please don't take offense." Zhou Cai knew Master Chu, and greeted him respectfully, then turned to Xin Nuo with a more solemn tone, "I didn't know that the second lady came here, so I was neglecting him."

When the woman heard this, she stood up in surprise, looked at Xin Nuo and said with a smile, "So you are the Second Miss, and you are so extraordinary."

She is more like a young lady than the young ladies who grew up in the house.

Zhou Cai glared at the woman and said, "Why don't you go down and prepare tea?"

"No need," Chu Wei said, "Let's ask a few questions and then leave."

Zhou Cai took off his bag and put it aside, and stood there with his hands hanging by his side, as if asking casually if he had any questions.

Of course, Chu Wei still asked him what he thought about Ning Cui spreading rumors about him. Unexpectedly, Zhou Cai said very sincerely: "It's not a rumor. The villain is really not good at personnel."

Chu Wei:---
laugh!
Xinnuo clearly heard a sarcastic laughter coming from outside. When the wife of Zhou's family opened the door at first, she looked a little emotional.

Xinnuo suspected that this woman was eating secretly at home, but when Zhou Cai came back she didn't panic at all, so she realized that she was overthinking it.
