    "Master Hai, you never tell us who you hang out with, so Sicun really doesn't know." Xie Sicun replied.  Hai Rui asked Xie Sicun some questions about Du Chongde's daily words and deeds. Xie Sicun answered them one by one and found nothing unusual.  Cheng Zhong began to wonder again. Could it be that his suspicion was wrong?  Miss Xie and Du Chongde don't have that kind of relationship?  If this is the case, then Xie Mengting's motive for killing will naturally disappear.  The clues to the case have been cut off, and the case has entered a state of being clueless again.  Cheng Zhong walked to Du Chongde's desk and flipped through a few books on the table. He was surprised to find that these books were not the doctrines of saints, or even books related to imperial examinations, but mostly poems about love.  !  He was a teacher, and he was already over fifty years old. He was reading content like this, which made Cheng Zhong suspicious.  "Teacher, come and see." Cheng Zhong handed the book in his hand to Hai Rui.  Hai Rui glanced at it twice, then threw it back on the desk with a snort, and said, "It's insulting to politeness and not enterprising!" "Miss Xie, are these books that Mr. Du reads through on weekdays?" Cheng Zhong asked.  Xie Sicun originally wanted to ignore him, but when he heard that he was asking about Du Chongde, he replied reluctantly: "Yes. Except for Mr. himself, few people come to this room. He doesn't like others to enter his room either."  He didn't want others to touch his things casually. " Cheng Zhong touched his nose. This Miss Xie was very sharp-tongued, so she took the opportunity to blame herself for turning over Du Chongde's things.  It doesn¡¯t matter, since I have already moved, I will move to the end!  Cheng Zhong began to rummage through the room and look around.  "Stop!" Xie Sicun shouted loudly: "Mr. Cheng, this is Mr. Du's bedroom. Please respect yourself! If you take other people's belongings without their permission, Mr. Cheng, where have you read the sages' books?  Gone?" Xie Sicun looked at Cheng Zhong with an excited tone.  Cheng Zhong was furious and asked: Where did I provoke you?  Didn¡¯t I just listen to you singing a song by the river?  And now that I¡¯ve given you a round of applause, as for the fact that your nose is not a nose and your eyes are not eyes like this?  I don't owe you anything?  ¡°Ms.  Obtain Du Chongde's consent because he is already dead," Cheng Zhong said while staring at Xie Sicun's face.  Until just now, there was no flaw in Xie Sicun's answers, and his performance was very natural.  On the surface, Cheng Zhonggang's words seemed to be a retaliation after being irritated, but in fact, he wanted to use this sudden method to arouse Xie Siyu's mind and expose his flaws.  "What?! Sir is dead?! How is this possible? You lied to me!" Sure enough, just as Cheng Zhong expected, Xie Sicun's mind was affected and his face was full of shock.  If this Miss Xie is not really innocent, she is an extremely skilled actress. At least Cheng Zhong has not found any flaws so far.  "It seems that Miss Xie doesn't know the news yet." Hai Rui sighed and said, "Mr. Du's body is now parked in the county government office. Moreover, the county wants to explain to Miss Xie that Mr. Du was buried in the Zhenfen River, but was murdered by someone else."  "I beg you to find the real culprit and avenge me." Although Xie Sicun looked sad, he had recovered from the shock, his eyes were clear and his mind was clear.  clear.  Cheng Zhong also secretly admired this. Many men couldn't be as self-controlled as Xie Sicun.  Cheng Zhong also wanted to know, if the murderer was finally found to be her father, would she still clamor for the real murderer like now?  "This county will naturally do its best, but it also requires Ms. Xie's cooperation." Hai Rui said.  "Yes. Sicun will fully cooperate with Master Hai." Xie Sicun nodded.  "Ms. Xie, can you recall carefully whether Mr. Du ever mentioned whether he had any other relatives or friends in Huating County, or anyone who had a close relationship with Mr. Du?" Hai Rui asked.  If we could find the people Du Chongde was interacting with outside and follow the clues, it would be much easier to solve the case.  Xie Si cun walked a few steps in the room, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, and the way she rested her chin on her hands added a bit of charm to her. ????????????????????? But Cheng Zhong hates the self-righteous woman Si Chen, and he doesn¡¯t even bother to look at her at this time.  After a while, Xie Sicun said with a depressed face: "Master Hai, every time Mr. Du goes out and comes back, he travels on foot. He doesn't even ride a sedan or ride a horse. Therefore, his whereabouts are very hidden and there is no way to know. "That's right.  .  "Hai Rui is a little disappointed. The Xie family hasThe husband also keeps a few horses. If Du Chongde needs them, Xie Mengting will never be stingy. In that case, Du Chongde's whereabouts can be obtained from the bearer or groom.  But I didn't expect that Du Chongde, a cripple, would travel on foot. This visit did not yield much useful information at all.  "Ms. Xie, would it be convenient for you to tell me how much Mr. Du's salary is?" Cheng Zhong suddenly asked again.  Hai Rui was a little surprised. Why did Cheng Zhong suddenly ask this question that seemed to have nothing to do with solving the case?  Could it be that he discovered something?  "Does this have something to do with solving the case?" Xie Sicun asked in a bad tone.  "Of course!" Cheng Zhong was too lazy to talk nonsense to her.  "Five taels of silver per month." Xie Sicun was blocked by Cheng Zhong, and he was silent for a while before finally giving the answer. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Cheng Zhong thought to himself, with five taels of silver a month, the Xie family really worked hard to get Xie Jiangbo into the exam.  "What hobbies does Mr. Du have in his daily life? For example, he likes fine wine, or other hobbies that require a lot of money?" Cheng Zhong continued to ask.  Xie Sicun shook his head and said, "Mr. Du is very simple and rarely buys new clothes." "Thank you, Miss Xie, I've finished asking my questions." Cheng Zhong said.  Unlike just now, he already had a rough idea in his mind.  "Cheng Zhong, how are you? Do you have any ideas? Tell me." Hai Rui declined Xie Mengting's invitation to have lunch, and walked with Cheng Zhong to the county school. After all, Cheng Zhong was going to the county school today.  reported.  "What do students have in mind? It's just a little strange." Cheng Zhong sorted out his thoughts and said: "The Xie family paid Du Chongde a very high salary, five taels of silver per month, which is sixty taels a year. According to Xie  The lady said that Du Chongde did not have a family in Huating, and he did not even have many friends. He lived a very simple life, and he was not willing to buy more clothes. He loved orchids and was not willing to buy a pot of them. He had no bad hobbies, and he had everything he needed for food and accommodation.  The Xie family doesn't have to spend any money at all, so the question is, where did all his money go?" When Cheng Zhong said this, Hai Rui suddenly realized that this kid was looking for money when he was rummaging through the cabinets in Du Chongde's bedroom.  "Du Chongde's whereabouts are mysterious. If the whereabouts of his money can be found, it will be very helpful to figure out his whereabouts and even find out the cause of his death." Cheng Zhong analyzed again.  Hai Rui nodded and suddenly said, "Cheng Zhong, why don't you think about my classics again?" Hai Rui was just a lecturer before and had no experience in investigating cases at all.  The Du Chongde case was the first murder case that Hai Rui handled.  The county magistrate and the chief registrar were driven away by him, and Hai Rui's character was unwilling to trust or rely on the county officials, so he was in great need of an experienced staff member to help him.  Cheng Zhong waved his hand and said: "Teacher, the student wants to read the books of sages first, and then consider this matter when his knowledge has improved in the future." Cheng Zhong's refusal was not because he disliked this line of work, but he knew Hai Rui very well.  of integrity.  This guy not only works hard for himself, but also wants the people around him to work hard with him. Even if he becomes a teacher, what if he stays with him for a long time, even if he becomes a high official?  He still remembered that when Hai Rui himself died, even the coffin was purchased by colleagues raising funds.  This is not what Cheng Zhong can endure, let alone what he pursues. If he has the time, he might as well think of other ways to make some money, and at least improve his current life with Mr. Liu and Cheng Lianyi.  It¡¯s just that Cheng Zhong hasn¡¯t been in this world for a long time, and he spent the first two months studying, so he couldn¡¯t think of any good method, so he didn¡¯t say anything, he just said he wouldn¡¯t consider it for the time being.  While he was thinking about it, a voice suddenly came from behind him. Hearing the voice, Cheng Zhong smiled.
