Chapter 1594

As the news of the dead on the second floor spread, the atmosphere in the inn became a little gloomy and strange. Even the continuous thunder outside seemed to be louder and more powerful, and it was coming towards this place like thousands of horses galloping.

When Xiao Yi and nangongyue came to the second floor together, there were already five or six guests in the corridor on the second floor, as well as the fat waiter. They all gathered in front of a guest room at the end of the corridor and whispered.

As soon as Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue arrived at the door, they saw the woman in green standing on the periphery warmly greeting Nangong Yue and said, "sister, are you also woken up? You'd better stop watching it. It's scary... " The woman seemed to be in a hurry and her hair was a little messy.

Nangong Yue smile, warm voice: "thank you for your concern. I learned medicine from my grandfather since I was a child. There is no taboo."

The woman in green was a little surprised, "sister, you look soft and weak, but you can speak and act freely! And my spleen

His ah Yue is very popular! Xiao Yi laughs at the corner of his mouth and looks at the light in Nangong Yue's eyes.

"This This is... "

All of a sudden, a startled and trembling male voice came from behind, listening to a little familiar.

Nangong Yue can't help but turn his head and see that master Ding is standing behind them, looking pale at the guest room.

Mrs. Ding also came. She changed her body into a pair of ginger embroidered eight flowers on her back. Holding the veil, she coughed again. She shrank behind master Ding, as if frightened.

Nangong Yue also looked into the room. At one glance, he saw a woman in a white middle coat lying on the floor on her side, revealing half of her face. Her skin was so white that she did not have a trace of blood. Her lifeless eyes were staring out, and her lips were dripping with black blood. She said that her red lips with lipstick were more and more charming Describe horror.

Even if Nangong Yue doesn't go in, he can be sure that the woman is dead and poisoned.

In a moment, there was another sound of footsteps, and the owner of the inn finally arrived panting, sweating and worried that his forehead and heart were covered with wrinkles.

His inn has been open for more than 20 years, and this is the first time he has encountered a homicide!

"Little girl! How did your wife die? " The boss's sharp eyes on one side of a little girl in green, the girl is twelve or three years old, very thin, little face blood color, whole body shaking like chaff.

"I I don't know either. Madame got up in the middle of the night thirsty, the tea cold, said to drink hot tea, I went down to the kitchen to pour hot water for the wife. When I come back, I will see Seeing that the lady has vomited blood and died! "

The girl in green put her hands on her small face, and her tears overflowed from her fingers.

Nangong Yue frowned slightly and noticed that there were several burn marks on the girl's wrists exposed from the cuff, including both new and old scars.

The boss locked his brow more tightly, clasped his fist at all the people present, and apologized, "dear guests, I have disturbed you. Now there's a homicide here, so please stay in the shop for the time being. I'm going to ask the waiter to report to the government... "

After that, the boss sent the skinny boy to report the case in a hurry.

As for those who have not yet settled down the hall, they are all worried.

After a moment's silence in the lobby, the woman in green was the first to say, "second brother, I remember that lady's surname is Zhong?"

"That's Mrs. Zhong." The fat boy nods hard.

The woman in green sighed and sighed: "when elder sister Zhong came down to have dinner yesterday, I also said something to her. She is a miserable person. I heard that the man has been gone for several years I didn't expect that even her own Ah, I think she vomited black blood at the mouth like poisoning? "

Thinking of the scene just seen, the fat boy felt a kind of nausea in his intestines and stomach.

"What miserable man?" The boss did not have a good temper to snort, "is the romantic talent is!"

The curious boss said.

After being questioned by the woman in green, the boss said that Mrs. Zhong was a flower queen when she was young, and then she was old and became good. Since her man was gone three years ago, she has been making friends with many men outside the town. People near her home know that she is a semi hidden door.

The woman in green couldn't help but blurt out: "then she came here, is it..."

Having a private meeting with a lover?!

People looked at each other, and most of them had the same idea in their hearts, so they looked at the little girl in green with the eyes of proving.

The little girl lowered her head and shook her head. Her voice was like a mosquito singing: "madam, there are many things Don't let me know... "

After a moment of silence in the lobby, the boss said faintly: "in any case, you will know when the officials come."

Not only did the boss feel different about Mrs. Zhong, but he also felt that he was trapped by that woman! In the future, people know that he died here, how to do business?!

Thinking, the boss wants to sigh again. He reluctantly calmed down, and then said, "I've disturbed my guests' sleep tonight. I'll ask the kitchen to make some desserts for everyone."The boss made a gesture to the fat boy, and the fat boy answered.

The lobby is completely quiet, most people are not in the mood to talk, just listen to the continuous rain outside the window

Half an hour later, the hot soup of tremella and red dates was brought up, and all the talents began to drink the sweet soup. The noise of people, horses and cars came from outside, which was particularly striking in the early morning when there was little popularity.

When they saw the bottom of the bowl, they should see the bottom of the bowl.

Outside the door, the sky is gray and rainy. It's about time to see the sky.

After a while, the sound of disorderly footsteps was getting closer and closer, and a dozen people in coir raincoats stormed across the threshold, bringing moisture all over the body. When they took off the coir raincoat, they would show the blue clothes and silk hats. It was the official yam Chas, the skinny little two, and a middle-aged man who looked like he was following them.

The boss rushed to meet him, and he clasped his fist at a middle-aged man headed by him: "he Bantou, it's hard for you in the middle of the night..."

He Bantou was not in the mood to exchange greetings with him, and said with a straight face: "take me and Liu qizuo to see the corpse first..."

A group of people pedaled to the floor again, leaving two captains to guard outside the gate.

At this time, most people are not in the mood to eat any desserts. They can't help looking at the direction of the stairs, and the only one is -

"ah Yue, do you not like this tremella soup?" Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue and asked, "what do you want to eat? How about I ask the kitchen to make you some pumpkin porridge

A few words made those eyes focus on Xiao Yi and his wife.

The woman in green immediately noticed that the young and beautiful young man was too leisurely and leisurely. She didn't seem to care about the murder in the Inn at all, not to mention that the officials had just arrived

Nangong Yue naturally felt the gaze of other people's examination, almost to help forehead.

She was about to say something when she heard the sound of "pedaling" again. Several captains headed by he Bantou came downstairs again.

He Bantou stopped in front of the crowd, looked around and asked the boss, "boss Huang, are people here?"

"Yes, yes, class leader he." Boss Huang nodded his head again and again, "since last night, there are only these guests in the shop plus us. After nightfall, no one has left the inn..."

"That is to say, the murderer who put arsenic in Mrs. Zhong's tea is among these people." He Bantou squinted and looked at the people with sharp eyes like a sword.

That is to say, one of them poisoned the tea and murdered Mrs. Zhong? People can't help but look at each other, feel cold.

The old man sitting in the corner raised his voice and said, "we don't know Mrs. Zhong at all. Where can we get the chance to poison her?" Said, the old man pointed to the little girl in green, "if say poison, the most chance is not her?"

The other two or three guests also echoed. The little girl in green fell on the ground with a thump of fright and denied: "it's not me! Not really me

He Bantou frowned and rebuked the crowd in a cold voice: "no noise! Everyone here is under suspicion! Now take out all your guides and tell me where you are at night. I'll check them out first. "

Then he Bantou took the captains under him and came to check the directions of the people.

Under Xiao Yi's eyes, nangongyue quietly speeds up the process of drinking sweet soup At the end of the meal, she was in front of them.

As a constable, he Bantou naturally read countless people. However, it was the first time that he saw such an outstanding young couple. In his opinion, even the students in Lixiang garden, the most famous opera troupe in Yucheng, were not as beautiful as this young man Is it possible that the young students in which Opera Troupe abducted the daughter of the family and eloped?

As he thought, he asked in a rough voice, "where are your two guides?"

When they went out, Xiao Yi and nangongyue naturally prepared road guides. Xiao Yi immediately took out two bamboo strips from his sleeve and handed them over.

He Bantou carefully looked at the two people's road guide and asked Xiao Yi, "your name is Lin Yi? Luoyue city people? "

Playing with a white porcelain teacup, Xiao Yi nodded carelessly.

After confirming that there was no problem with the guide, he returned it to Xiao Yi, and then asked, "where were you and your wife last night?"

"In the middle of the night, of course, I sleep in my own room." Xiao Yi, of course, replied.

It's not just Xiao Yi's answer. Most of the people present gave this answer. Only Mrs. Ding didn't sleep all night because of her cough. Her maid, Xia Lian, was waiting on her side to prove that she had never left the room. The woman living next door to her said that she heard Mrs. Ding's cough when she got up at night.

He Bantou's face is not very good-looking. It was bad enough to be called here before daybreak. He just wanted to finish the case quickly, take the suspect back to the county government office, and make up for the recovery. However, it seems that the case is not so simple.After pondering for a while, he said to the crowd, "you all go back to your room and have a rest, but no one is allowed to leave this inn. I'll go back and report to the county Lord first, and wait for the county Lord to make a decision! "

A few of the guests were unwilling to face it and muttered that "they still have to go." however, they did not dare to rush to the front of he Bantou to make trouble. There is a saying that "the people do not fight with the officials". Besides, who let them have the misfortune to be killed!

All of a sudden, a clear male voice said with a smile: "master Ding, is this square of handkerchief yours?"

The crowd followed the sound and saw that the purple robed youth named "Lin Yi" was holding a water-green veil in his right hand, and looked at master Ding walking in front of him with a smile.

Master Ding was staring at the handkerchief, and his pupils shrank. As he was about to speak, he heard the woman in green exclaim excitedly: "this is the lady Zhong's veil!"

The woman in green strode to Xiao Yi and looked at the handkerchief carefully. Then she pointed to the embroidered mandarin ducks and said, "I remember these mandarin ducks. I have reminded Mrs. Zhong that the mandarin ducks are not embroidered with eyes Yes, it must be Mrs. Zhong's

For a moment, everyone's eyes, including those captors, all turned to master Ding, including some who examined and doubted.

Mr. Ding quickly explained: "this is a handkerchief I found before, my wife also has a side of similar color, I thought it was her, so I put it in the sleeve pocket."

He Bantou looked at Mr. Ding in disbelief, his eyes sharp as if to see through him. For a moment, he said in a deep voice as if exhortation and caution: "master Ding, please stay in the inn!"

After leaving six yamen messengers to guard all the people in the inn, he Bantou and several others left in a hurry

Nangongyue and Xiaoyi went back to their guest room to rest. Nangongyue was once again in bed and went to sleep. This time, she was awakened from her dream by a burst of hysterical cry:

"dead! Another man is dead! "

The sky outside has long been bright, and the rain has stopped
