The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

Chapter 265: Murder on Wumiao Street【中】

As expected, Qiu Yunfei did not brag. Within half an hour, he found the restaurant Pan Youan had visited last night—of course, the price was that most of the Wumiao Street was restless and wailing.

Talk less gossip.

Pan Youan had been to a restaurant called Huiyunlou, which was about a hundred meters away from the scene of the crime.

After hearing the report, Sun Shaozong carefully screened the surrounding environment while walking around before entering the restaurant.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a mess of cups and plates, and the shopkeeper knelt on the ground, with two or three welt marks on each face.

Sun Shaozong frowned when he saw this: "Everyone inquires like this?"

"Naturally not."

Zhao Wuwei hurriedly came over and explained: "The revenge school confirmed that they had lied before, and then took a small punishment."

Since it is not a house-to-house attack, but a target, then there is no problem-punching and kicking suspects these years is a legitimate, reasonable and reasonable move, even in the public opinion circle, it can be said to be politically correct.

Sun Shaozong found a stool to sit down, and asked the rich middle-aged who was kneeling at the front: "Are you the shopkeeper here?"

The rich middle-aged man hurriedly set his kneeling posture, knocked his head on the ground at Sun Shaozong, and said with a trembling: "The villain is the treasurer of the Huiyun Tower. If you know that the case is being investigated by the Master Qingtian, the villain will There are ten heads, and I definitely dare not deceive your old man!"

As he said, he banged his head: "Please also ask the old man to spare the villain this time, the villain will never dare or dare anymore..."

It seems that in addition to Qiu Yunfei's intimidation, Sun Shaozong's reputation has also played a big role.

But how can Sun Shaozong be patient with his ink?

Immediately he said in a deep voice: "Stop talking about these nonsense. Whether or not the official will hold you accountable for deceiving the government depends on whether you are worthy to cooperate with the investigation."

"The villain must cooperate and cooperate!"

"I ask you."

Sun Shaozong stared at the face of the shopkeeper and asked, "When did the deceased come? Was it alone or had an appointment with someone? When did he leave, and were there anyone beside him when he left?"

"Return to the master."

Regarding these questions, the shopkeeper had already finished the draft, and when he heard Sun Shaozong asked, he immediately blurted out: "The master was about two quarters past Xuzheng [8:30 in the evening], and he arrived at our store alone. During the period, the buddy went to add food and drinks several times, but no one was with him."

"He probably came to borrow wine to soothe his sorrows. He drank it until it was almost four more days. The guys urged him several times before finally asking him out."

"When he left, there were no customers next to him in the store, so as soon as he left, we closed hurriedly, and we really didn't know about other things."

Qiu Yunfei had just heard it before, so when the shopkeeper finished speaking, he spread his hands and said, "Well, I have spent so much effort, but I didn't even find out the root hair!"

Sun Shaozong ignored him, tilted his head slightly to the left, and stared at some of the chaser for a while, then suddenly asked: "You have just stopped talking a few times, but what can I add?"

Everyone’s eyes fell on the little second person in the shop. He only bluffed his hands and knelt to the ground, and said with a trembling, "Return to the big master, the villain... the villain... the villain..."

He said ‘little man’ three times in a row, but he couldn’t say the whole sentence.

Seeing that Qiu Yunfei was impatient with his hearing, the shopkeeper next to him, with a whip in his hand, seemed to be drawn at any time, and hurriedly said, "Master, Liu Tiezhu is only responsible for the guests who are scattered on the second floor. The one who was killed However, the Hakka has wrapped up the room, and the room has always been Xu Shengli's responsibility. If you have anything to do, just ask Xu Shengli..."

"To shut up!"

Without waiting for him to finish, Zhao Wuwei already screamed: "Who does the master want to ask, and it is your dog who can call the shots?!"

The shopkeeper shrank his neck in fright and dared not say anything.

But Liu Tiezhu was also bluffed. He was originally a dumb and stupid. After this fright, he was even hesitant and couldn't tell why.

"What do you want to say, squeaky and crooked?!"

Next to him, Qiu Yunfei was annoyed, and when he lifted his horse whip, he drew it over.

"stop."

Sun Shaozong hurriedly stopped him, then softened his tone, and said with a warm smile: "Liu Tiezhu, although Xu Shengli is in charge of the private rooms, he has to take care of each private room, but he may not be affected by the situation on the entire second floor. You know, don't you?"

That Liu Tiezhu worked a lot more than Xu Shengli on weekdays, but the monthly money he got was less than half of Xu Shengli's, so he accumulated a lot of grievances on weekdays.

At this time, after hearing the words of Master Qingtian, Liu Tiezhu immediately became energetic and untied his tongue. He patted his chest and said, "That's natural! He was pleased with the guests in the A-style elegant room, and was separated from the T-shape. The road wall, naturally you can't hear the quarrel inside!"

What was the quarrel? !

Sun Shaozong's heart moved and he was about to continue to ask questions, but Qiu Yunfei next to him was annoyed again, waving his horse whip and angrily said: "You are a blind eye, when I just asked, why didn't you say that the dead ghost had quarreled with others? ?!"

As he said, a whip was drawn on that Liu Tiezhu’s forehead, and the painful rascal screamed screaming, hurriedly grinning, "Master for your life, the villain just faintly heard the sound of a quarrel at that time. I didn't see anyone coming in and out, and I was even more afraid to be sure that the movement came from the T-shaped room, so I didn't dare to talk nonsense just now."

Hearing this, Sun Shaozong once again drank away Qiu Yunfei, and asked: "When did you hear the quarrel? There are several people's voices. Can you hear what they are arguing clearly?"

"This…"

Liu Tiezhu was covering the wound on his forehead, and grinning for a while, he said with confidence: "It should be around nine o'clock in the evening at the beginning of the day. At that time, most of the first group of guests who were scattered had already left, and they just came up again. A few new customers."

"It should be the two who quarreled. As for what was quarreling..."

"The little man only heard the two sentences ‘lick the ditch’ and ‘you want me’. Just when a new customer ordered wine, food, and food, the little man went downstairs to cook."

"When I came back, there hadn't been any movement there."

Licking the ditch? you want me?

Could it be that two **** guys are arguing?

And did the people who quarreled with Pan Youan got here in advance, or did they have a temporary conflict?

It is really difficult to judge based on this ambiguous rhetoric alone.

Sun Shaozong let Liu Tiezhu remember it again, and it seems that there are no other details.

But Liu Tiezhu scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time, but UU reading www.uukanshu.com couldn't think of anything else.

Reluctantly, Sun Shaozong had to let him think slowly, and at the same time called Xu Shengli in front of him, asking if there were any guests in the private room next to the T-shaped at the beginning of Haichu.

"At that time, there were no half of the people in the C-shaped elegant room!" Xu Shengli insisted: "The dead guest had just ordered a good wine and food, and the next door was accounted for, until after the second shift [At 2 o'clock in the evening, 9 p.m. Half past half], only two guest masters were dining in the C-shaped room."

In this way, the chance of Liu Tiezhu's misheard is extremely small, and it seems that this quarrel should be true.

just…

This clue is still too few.

Sun Shaozong pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Are there any regular customers on the second floor around Haishi yesterday? Knowing the basics and knowing the bottom line, the kind of regular customers who can find people."

The shop Xiaoer was so busy that he might not have noticed, but the guests who dine on the second floor might not be curious when they heard the quarrel, so Sun Shaozong had this question.

It's a pity that this line of thought was immediately rejected by the two shopkeepers.

Because there were indeed two regular customers on the second floor at the time, but unfortunately they were all dining in the Jia-zi Yajian. Xu Shengli also talked a few more gossips with them, and didn’t hear the Ding-zi Yajian. quarrel.

After being drunk twice, Qiu Yunfei held it back until this time, and finally couldn't help but complain: "This special mother is just a bit of bullshit, and I didn't even see a ghost shadow. How can we investigate?!"

Sun Shaozong glanced at him and said: "You don't know how to check, just because you are impatient and not careful enough."

As he said, he got up and walked towards the stairs, and said in his mouth: "Bring Liu Tiezhu and Xu Shengli up, and call a few more yamen upstairs. Let's try to restore the situation around Haishi last night."
