"No doubt, the clothes I bought for Mr. Chen that day..." Kong Wenmin said hurriedly, but as soon as he saw Mei Ya's gossipy face, Kong Wenmin couldn't continue. He silently moved his eyes away from Mei Ya's face and continued. "Then when I came out of the clothing store, I saw Commander Ma. Before I could call him, I saw him enter Feihua Tower across the street. I was quite puzzled at the time. What kind of meal did Commander Ma go to Feihua Tower for? The food there was expensive and unpalatable, but now I think about it, maybe Commander Ma didn't go to Feihua Tower just to eat. It could also be..." Speaking of this, Kong Wenmin paused, and when he spoke again, his voice became even deeper. "It could also be that he went to the second floor."
Pang Yi's face was not very good either. He looked at Zhong Mingwei and said, "Sir, if that's the case, then Zhou Youan's investigation is actually good?"
"It's hard to say now. Wen Min only saw Ma Zhiming go into Feihua Tower once. And we don't know whether Ma Zhiming went there to eat or meet someone. We can't be sure that Ma Zhiming is a gambler," Zhong Mingwei said in a deep voice. While taking a sip, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Kong Wenmin and said, "Wen Min, put aside the work in your hands. Check Zhou Youan's whereabouts in the past month, especially the few days before the fourth prince was killed. Make sure to check it thoroughly. Do you understand?"
"Master, you are... suspecting Zhou Youan?" Kong Wenmin asked in disbelief. "Although Zhou Youan's recent performance has been disappointing, based on my understanding of him, he is impatient but not very courageous. It is absolutely impossible for him to rashly attack the Fourth Prince."
"I don't suspect Zhou Youan is the murderer of the Fourth Prince. I just want to find out who is lying." Zhong Mingwei said.
Yes, Zhou Youan had clearly written in black and white that Ma Zhiming was undoubtedly a gambler, but Jiang Bairen did not mention a word about it. Zhong Mingwei had to figure out who was lying before he could further infer what role this person played in the death of the Fourth Prince...
Yes, the death of the Fourth Prince must be related to the Imperial Guards or the Embroidered Uniform Guards, otherwise the murderer would never have been able to evade the palace guards so easily and kill the Fourth Prince silently.
"Yes, I understand." Kong Wenmin was so busy that he bowed and left.
After Kong Wenmin left, Mei Ya went to wash up. Seeing Mei Ya leave the room, Zhong Mingwei quickly put down the teacup in his hand and waved to Pang Yi.
"What's wrong, sir?" Pang Yi asked.
"Come here," Zhong Mingwei asked Pang Yi to come closer, and then whispered in his ear, "Go to Feihua Tower tomorrow and look for..."
After Zhong Mingwei finished speaking, Pang Yi immediately looked embarrassed: "Master, for such a big...money, shouldn't you discuss it with your wife in advance?"
"No need. A gentleman doesn't need to think twice before doing anything." Zhong Mingwei said to Pang Yi with a bold and unrestrained manner, "Besides, can't you see that my wife has always been the most obedient and virtuous. If I say one thing, she will never dare to say another."
Pang Yi's mouth twitched: "...If that's the case, why didn't you tell this to your wife in person? Instead, why did you keep it to yourself and only tell your subordinates?"
The corners of Zhong Mingwei's mouth twitched more violently than his: "You are the only one who talks too much!"
Pang Yi: “…Hehe.”
