After saying that, Shopper Ma stammered again.

Gu Qing said: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Manager Ma said, "If the Dao Master from there asks about painting, I must explain it truthfully. Mr. Gu, don't blame me for pulling you in. But you have never even seen paintings, so it should be fine."

Gu Qing frowned. He definitely didn't want to see the person who saw Tian Jueguan, but if he deliberately avoided it, it would seem suspicious.

He said, "Tell me, when will the Taoist priest come?"

Manager Ma said, "It must be after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Gu Qing nodded and said, "Well, let me see if there is anything interesting in your store. I plan to buy one and give it to someone."

Manager Ma said, "You can read it casually, and I will give you the cost."

Gu Qing said: "No need to say this. You can say whatever you want. Business is business."

Manager Ma smiled and stopped talking, allowing Gu Qing to visit the store by himself. To be honest, the boss died. He was quite panicked before. After chatting with Gu Qing for a while, he found that he was not very nervous.

He was old and had met many people, and he knew in his heart that some people were born with a calm and calm temperament that could infect others.

Gu Qing is probably such a person.

Gu Qing looked around and chose a stubborn stone root carving that was not very good. He said, "Just this, how much does it cost?"

Manager Ma hesitated for a moment and said, "To be honest, Mr. Gu's carving is a bit ugly. It's not good if you buy it and give it to others. Why don't I go to the warehouse to find another one for you."

Gu Qing said: "Just it, don't you think its material is special?"

Manager Ma said, "This thing is quite heavy, and it feels like an iron lump, but I didn't spend much money when I bought it. If you value its material, take it away for ten taels of silver."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "I'll give you thirty taels, I don't want to take too much advantage."

Manager Ma is an acquaintance, and Gu Qing is too lazy to cheat him. The main reason is that although this thing is more than ten taels, it cannot be sold at a high price.

He needs to process it again if he takes it back.

Manager Ma said, "It's better to have ten taels. Mr. Gu tells me what the rules are. I will learn the tricks in it. I will not miss it when I encounter it next time."

Gu Qing smiled slightly, took out the red fish and gently slashed it on the root carving, revealing the texture inside, which was thin and intricate and shiny.

The shopkeeper also smelled a faint fragrance.

He looked surprised and seemed to be uncertain: "Is it camphor wood?"

Manager Ma touched the incision and said, "It's true, I don't know who did it. I applied an ugly layer of paint on the outside and wrapped it tightly. Mr. Gu's dagger is good. I scraped it before, as if I was scraping iron sheets, and I couldn't peel it off at all. Later, I forgot about this thing because of other things."

Gu Qing picked up the peeled paint and smelled it, saying, "It seems to be a special raw paint."

He pinched his fingers and said casually: "This lacquer seems to be good for painting."

As he was talking, he suddenly looked out the door. Two constables came in outside. They were guarding the door and following Ding Dianyu, whom Gu Qing had seen.

Ding Dianyu was a little surprised when he saw Gu Qing.

He greeted, "Young Master Gu, why are you here?"

Gu Qing said: "I'm buying a gadget here and plan to give Mr. Fang a Mid-Autumn Festival gift tomorrow during the holidays."

Ding Dianyu nodded and said, "Then please say hello to the old man and Miss Fang for me. I have some business to do with this shopkeeper."

Gu Qing said: "Is it about the murder of the boss of Ma Zhanggui? This matter has something to do with me. The painting that was thrown away was originally intended to ask me to repair it."

Ding Dianyu said in surprise: "Is that so? Shopkeeper, tell me about this painting, and I came here mainly for this."

Manager Ma then said what he knew.

Ding Dianyu obviously listened very carefully and raised some doubts from time to time. Because Ma Zhangkeeper was there, he was not panicked and said whatever he knew.

"I have recorded all these things. If you remember anything else, remember to come to the yamen to find me." Ding Dianyu then said goodbye to Gu Qing.

As soon as Ding Dianyu left, he sat on the chair and said, "Mr. Gu, if it weren't for you, Ding Dianyu wouldn't be so easy to talk to. It turns out that you have a good relationship with Mr. Fang? I thought you just knew each other."

He knew from his friend that Mr. Fang had a fake painting bought by Gu Qing, so he guessed that Gu Qing and Mr. Fang had an intersection, but seeing Ding Dianyu selling Gu Qing's face like this, he thought that the relationship between them must be pretty good.

Gu Qing said: "The relationship is still successful. I'll give you the money. I'll go back first with the things."

Manager Ma originally wanted to refuse but felt that he would still accept it, otherwise he would be polite. If Gu Qing was a person who was greedy for small profits, Manager Ma would definitely not ask for the money, because after observation, he felt that Gu Qing was generous in his work and did not like to be polite and condom, so he would be bored.

Ma Zhangguan remembered this favor and thought that if Gu Qing had to do it in the future, he would definitely repay him with all his heart. After all, if Gu Qing left just now, Ma Zhangguan might have said something wrong. Ding Dianyu also took him back to the yamen because he didn't have to worry about Gu Qing.

After entering the yamen, the King of Hell was easy to meet and the little ghost was difficult to deal with. Even if he was very innocent, he would inevitably lose money and avoid disaster.

He accepted the money and sent Gu Qing out.

Gu Qing carried the root carving, and when he arrived at the south gate, he suddenly heard a sound of a piano. It was a blind piano player playing the guqin. Gu Qing thought it was good, so he simply stopped and listened to the leisurely sound of the piano next to him.

Obviously, Gu Qing was not the one who was attracted, and slowly other pedestrians were attracted and stopped.

Wonderful music always resonates with people.

Gu Qing was immersed in deep spirit, as if lying on the smooth and mirror-like lake water. From time to time, clear birds singing into his ears, and fish were swimming and playing around.

There are lotus flowers on the lake water, which are naturally beautiful and do not require any carvings.

Sizzle!

Gu Qing was shocked and subconsciously turned his head. He saw Ding Dianyu whom he had just seen just now, not far away. He seemed to be thinking about something, and his expression should be the same when he was considering the case.

No, it's not quite the same.

His expression was frozen, without any change.

My mouth was closed and I didn't breathe.

He didn't seem to know the tolerance behind him, thinking that Ding Dianyu was thinking.

Suddenly, Ding Dianyu fell down and bleeding from his seven orifices.

Immediately afterwards, someone called out "It's dead."

The street suddenly became chaotic and the sound of the piano came to an abrupt end.

Gu Qing first subconsciously wanted to find the piano player, but the blind pianist had already sneaked into the crowd and disappeared into Gu Qing's sight in the blink of an eye.

After hesitating for a moment, he quickly walked to Ding Dianyu's body, "Two, you guys, go back to the yamen and invite someone. It's better to call the coroner. I and the other one are here, don't let anyone destroy the scene."
