Chapter 132 Let's Go, Little Lady(1/2)
"Let's go, little lady, look at the shop that has been opened again. While there are no customers early, let's go buy things early and go back early."
Chonglou had already stood up, called her next to the carriage, and called her little lady deliberately teased.
Little lady?
Mo Xiao made a cold war and his whole body fell all over the floor.
The boss lady was looking at her with a smile. She smiled awkwardly, then tilted her head and tugged at Chonglou. She didn't explain it just now, and it was hard to refute it now. Finally, she stomped her feet and had to walk over with gritted teeth.
In everyone's eyes, this was a shy little lady running towards her little husband.
Mo Xiao was thinking in his heart that when she had time, she would come to learn to drive the carriage, so that she could kick someone off the carriage at any time.
Now, bear it first.
When the carriage passed by Wanli Shop, Mo laughed and called out "ah".
Looking through the car window, the original Wanli Gambling House brand was removed and replaced with Yum Casino, and the storefront was painted again. Thinking about it, ten years ago, Wang Fugui snatched the gambling house from the Xu family and changed the name to Wanli Gambling House. Now that the gambling house has returned to the Xu family, the brand has naturally been changed back. Xu Shicong is still quite filial, but it has actually been changed to Yum Casino, and it has not been changed to Shicong Gambling House.
Mo Xiao looked at the brand new plaque and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In just ten years, the world has changed. There is really nothing eternal in this world. Today, it looks firmly in your hands, but in fact, it may be changed to someone else's palm tomorrow.
"At a young age, I sighed like an old lady." Chonglou heard it in front of the car and sneered twice.
Mo Xiao didn't want to refute him for the first time. She was indeed much older than him, right? If she hadn't been reborn through time, she would have celebrated her 25th birthday.
"It's here, Shi's decoration shop is here." The carriage stopped, Chonglou lifted the curtain.
Mo Xiao bent down and got out of the car. He stood in front of a shop with unique decorations on the storefront. Two original wooden doors were no different from the other shop doors. On the other side, transparent glass bowls were inlaid on the wooden boards. Each bowl had a decoration, exquisite shape and unique style. Haha, it had a bit of a modern window effect.
Mo Xiao suddenly felt that there were quite a lot of talented people in Sanyang County, and he was surprised by this time traveler.
The door panel in front of him moved, and a small guy showed half of his body, carrying the door panel that had just been strengthened in his hand and asked Mo Xiao: "Miss, come here to buy decorations so early, don't worry, the shopkeeper has arrived, wait for the little one to open the door first, and the hall is bright and the girl comes in."
The guy saw someone waiting, and his subordinates were faster.
Mo Xiao and Chonglou looked at each other, meaning that it was just enough to have a bowl of wontons, otherwise they would have to wait at the door.
The door opened, and Mo Xiao and Chonglou walked into the store amid the enthusiastic greetings of the guy.
"Miss Mo?"
A middle-aged man walked out from behind the counter and greeted Mo Xiao happily when he saw him.
"Brother Shi, I'm disturbing."
This person saw Shi An in the gambling house.
"Since I came back that time, I have been thinking that Miss Mo would come to the shop when I have time, but I didn't expect Miss Mo to come. Miss Mo came at the right time today. On the first day of every month, the shop has new styles." Shi An smiled all over his face, as if Mo Xiao was a big customer.
Mo Xiao covered her mouth and smiled. The businessman is a businessman. This speech is a hot recommendation mode. Her buying and buying heart immediately became active.
"That's great. I'm just about to buy a suitable bracelet." Mo Xiao said.
"Bracelet? It's a coincidence that today's new product has a bracelet."
Shi An stretched out one hand, meaning to come with him.
Mo Xiao and Chonglou followed Shi An into a small door on the side. This place should be the VIP room. It is different from the decorations in the outer room. There are only two antique racks sparsely placed here. There are fine grids on the antique racks, and each grid has a triangular rack that supports a brocade box, and there is a decoration inside the box.
Shi An took them to one of the antique racks, pointed at them and said, "These two are bracelets, Miss Mo, see if there are any ones that match their eyes."
Mo Xiao looked along with his fingers. One string was eighteen Buddha-head bracelets carved with ivory beads, and the other string was silver thread twisted through ten crystal rubies, which was not as amazing as she imagined.
Shi An is the old shopkeeper, and he is the most powerful in observing his words and expressions. When he saw Mo Xiao’s expression in his eyes, he knew that she was not interested. He said, “If Miss Mo doesn’t like this one, you can also customize it.”
"Can you customize it?" Mo Xiao was happy and waited for his words.
"Of course, Miss Mo invites you here, let's sit down and talk slowly."
Shi An pointed at a long desk next to him. On the desk were four treasures of the study and several chairs were placed next to him.
"Okay, sit down and talk slowly."
Mo Xiao smiled slightly. There was no need to open a clinic today. I had a lot of time. I just said it slowly. I was walking to the chief case and gave Chonglou a wink. Chonglou naturally knew how to do it. Isn’t it just a white face and a black face, and both soft and hard faces are used?
As soon as the three of them sat down, Shi An layed the paper and dipped it ink. He asked Mo Xiao with his pen: "Ms. Mo has any specific requirements for the bracelet, such as patterns and styles. Do you have any special liking or taboos? Let's make a record first, then draw the artwork, and review it for Miss Mo first. During this period, you can modify it before finally making the finished product."
"Oh, you are really considerate in customizing this way." Mo Xiao agreed, "But I wonder if you can accept the sample production?"
"Is it a artwork or a finished product?" Shi An asked.
"There are also artworks and finished products, but I wonder if your store can make it?"
"If you can do it, you have to choose the materials for the artwork. If it is a finished product, the store will ensure that it can produce exactly the same ones."
"That's great." Mo Xiao smiled slightly, took out the cloth bag from his waist, and opened it in front of Shi An. "I'm going to do this."
"this!"
Shi An was startled when he saw what Mo Xiao showed. Three silver needles lined up in a row with cold light, "Where did Miss Mo get this? Did Li Putou hand it over to you? This..."
It seems that because Li Zisang took the lead, Shi An had already guessed that the silver needle might have caused some official fault.
"Brother Shi, don't panic. I can guarantee that as long as you tell me the ins and outs of this silver needle, you will definitely not be implicated." Mo Xiao smiled slightly.
"This..." Shi An hesitated.
"If you don't say it now, you have to say it when you go to the hall. You have to think clearly, let's say it better or let the three of us say it better now." Chonglou interrupted coldly on the side. Isn't it just a black face? He is doing this.
Shi An first lowered his head and was silent for a while, then suddenly looked up at Mo Xiao, and said firmly: "Okay, it's good to say this, otherwise I'll always feel uneasy. Although this matter has been over ten years, I still regret and fear whenever I think about it. I really shouldn't take on such an inexplicable job for money."
"So, this silver needle is really made by you!"
Although Mo Xiao had guessed it a long time ago, he was still happy inside. The long-standing case was about to make substantial progress. As long as he knew from Shi An who came to customize, wouldn't the murderer be revealed?
"Is Wang Fugui the one who came to customize it?" In the end, she couldn't help asking first.
"Wang Fugui?" Shi An was stunned, "No, I recognize Wang Fugui, but I have never seen the person who came before. There was a scar on the face of the man. He was a young teenager."
Teenagers, scar face?
Mo Xiao suddenly remembered that he came alone. He had taken Zhang Yao Prescription and led a few big men into the clinic and said that the medicine in the clinic had damaged the person. Isn’t it just a scar face? The man looked about thirty years ago. In short, wasn’t it less than twenty years ago?
"Brother Shi, do you still remember what he looks like? Describe it to me, the more detailed the better." Mo Xiao asked.
"Of course I remember that I have done something that I regret so much in my life. I will never forget the person's appearance in my life." Shi An said affirmatively, "A short and thin man, with a slutty face, with a scar on his face. Well, I still remember it was on his left face."
"That's right, it should be the person I know." Mo Xiao nodded. Several characteristics were consistent. No matter how coincidental it was, it was not that coincidental. What's more coincidental was that Scarface was from Wanhutang. At that time, Wang Fugui had not married Jiang's family, and Jiang Yongxin had not yet arrived at the Wang family. The head of Wanhutang was Wang Fugui.
"Brother Shi, please tell me the situation in detail."
"Well, okay." Shi An nodded and continued, "The man seemed to be a scoundrel, but he was generous. As soon as he arrived at my store, he first made a request for material. After seeing the metal block I gave him, he left behind the drawings and ten taels of gold as a deposit without saying a word."
"Ten taels of gold!" Mo Xiao smiled. Scarface took ten taels of gold as soon as he tried. This must be collecting money to run errands for others. And this person, haha, was about to come out.
"Yes, it's ten taels of gold. He said I was asked to use the metal block to make silver needles, and left a drawing for me to follow them. I took the drawings and saw that it was not a decoration, but it was just a slender like the silver needles used by doctors. At that time, I was confused and asked him what he was doing. Who knew he yelled impatiently, saying, "If you give you gold, you can do it, and ask more questions." I wanted to refuse such a business, but at that time I had just taken the shop from my father. The business was not very good, and this man was indeed generous. Ten taels of gold were just deposits. He said that the things were in line with his wishes and there was a double bounty. I was obsessed with money, so I collected the deposit and drawings and created eighteen silver needles for him."
"You mean you have created a total of eighteen?"
"Well, yes, I remember it very clearly, it's just eighteen."
Mo Xiao silently calculated in his heart that three appeared in each of the four coffins, plus the three on Jiang Yongxin's body, there were a total of fifteen. So the murderer left three?
"Okay, I've already made it clear, thank you Brother Shi." Mo Xiao had already got the result he wanted to know, and stood up and said goodbye.
"Miss Mo..." Shi An wanted to speak with a sad face.
"Don't worry, I promise that no matter what the Yinzhen did in the end, it would not affect Shi Jiajie and Brother Shi." Mo Xiao knew his concerns. The most afraid of those who do business was to get into Guan Fei, especially a murder case, so she didn't tell him the reason for the Yinzhen incident from beginning to end, and I believe Shi An didn't want to know either.
"Thank you Miss Mo." Shi An bowed gratefully.
"No, this time, Brother Shi believes in his younger sister and tells the truth." Mo Xiao bowed back.

Sanyang County Government.
"So, there are three silver needles?" Li Zisang's eyes lit up.
"Yes, according to Shi An's words, there are indeed three silver needles. If you guess correctly, the remaining three should be in the hands of the real murderer." Mo Xiao said.
"Okay, I know what to do now." Li Zisang said with a confident look on his face.
"What are you going to do?" Mo Xiao asked.
"Uh, this is a secret, and I can't tell you yet. Anyway, I will definitely be able to catch the murderer this time." Li Zisang blinked.
Mo Xiao shrugged, "I'm not interested in knowing anyway, so how do you do it yourself."
"Well, I knew you would understand me." Li Zisang was very satisfied. Mo Xiao didn't chase him and asked, "By the way, I took back the word you posted on the wall."
"What word?"
"It's the one with the relevant personnel who wrote this case. I thought it was good, so I took it back."
"Oh, that one, if you have any help, keep it."
Anyway, now that I know that Chonglou is not the murderer, and the one who killed Xu Baisheng is almost certain that it is Wang Fugui. She is not interested in knowing that Jiang Yongxin's death and Jia Xingcai's death are all left to Li Zisang to investigate slowly.
As soon as she relaxed, she felt sleepy and yawned a big yawn.
"I didn't sleep last night and I only slept for an hour in the morning. I'm really sleepy and tired. I'll go back to the clinic and have a good night's sleep."
After saying that, she waved her hand to Li Zisang and called Chonglou on the side, saying, "Let's go, we're fine now, let's go back and sleep together."
To be continued...
