Chapter 1595

"Dead again!"

Outside the guest room, the shrill and frightened cry of the waiter goes away with the sound of pedaling downstairs; in the guest room, Nangong Yue, who is fully awake, tries to sit up, but is pressed back by a strong arm around his shoulder.

Beside the pillow, Xiao Yi's voice came into Nangong Yue's ears with a trace of hoarse voice: "it's just past now. Ah Yue, you didn't sleep for a few hours last night. Go to sleep for a while." He coaxed gently.

Between the words, there was more noise outside, and occasionally came the guests' voices of opening the door and questioning.

"Why is there another homicide?"

"But isn't the Yamen official still in the inn?"

"The prisoner is too bold to kill two people!"

“……”

As they talked, they also went downstairs.

Nangong Yue turned over and looked at Xiao Yi face to face. His eyes were clear and bright. It was obvious that he had been awake for a long time.

"A Yi, I want to sleep a little more, but..." Nangong Yue yawned lazily. Before she could speak, she heard the sound of "gurgling" from her stomach.

Nangong Yue covered his stomach, wrinkled his face and said solemnly, "Yi, I'm hungry."

I don't know if it's because she didn't sleep in the second half of the night. She's hungry now.

Xiao Yi was a little surprised. He was stunned and couldn't help laughing. He took the lead to sit up and said in a delicate voice: "princess, let Yi'er serve you up."

Having been married for many years, Nangong Yue has been used to it. From time to time, he has to perform once. He raises his hand calmly and signals him to help her up.

After washing, cleaning his face, dressing, socks and shoes, and combing his hair, Xiao Yi had a sense of flowing water when he did these things. He made her a neat braid, which made Nangong Yue look a few years younger.

Nangong Yue looked at himself in the bronze mirror with satisfaction, then got up and went downstairs with Xiao Yi.

This time, the dead man's room was apparently on the second floor.

At the door of the guest room which is the second room from the stairway, two yamen messengers were there. Many guests gathered at the door, even the stairway was a bit congested.

The men talked in a whisper, with a look of sigh on their faces.

Nangong Yue eyebrows move, think of what. She still remembers that this room should be Mr. Ding's and Mrs. Ding's room, don't you think

The next moment, a rough male voice answered her doubts in her heart: "Hey, you say, why did the old man hang himself up?"

Then, several other voices joined in the discussion:

"if a man cuts in the door backwards, it's conceivable that his life will be oppressed

"Who knows if he killed himself? Maybe it was the murderer who hanged the man again last night? "

"Hard to say!"

"Hello, Hello, you say Is there any murderer lurking in this inn

"Brother, don't you scare me?"

“……”

Nangong Yue stepped down the stairs quickly, but did not go to the lobby on the first floor. Instead, he went to the guest room of master Ding. The yaman who was guarding the door immediately stopped her and said without expression: "no admittance!"

Nangong Yue did not intend to go in, standing at the door, she just wanted to see the scene.

From her point of view, you can see a figure in a white middle coat hanging on the beam of the room, his back to the door, his feet hanging in the air slightly shaking, the floor is in a mess, a red lacquer wooden round stool fell to the ground, all around are broken celadon teapots and cup fragments, tea wantonly flow, the charcoal fire in the charcoal basin is still burning With

"Ah Yue, aren't you hungry?" Xiao Yi came over and said discontentedly.

Nangong Yue turned around, took his hand, showed a flattering smile, "walk, we go downstairs to eat breakfast."

The two men came in a hurry and left in a hurry, which caused two yamen messengers to look at each other. They always felt that there was an untimely feeling between the words and deeds of the two young couples: two people died in this inn! Will ordinary people be so calm when they encounter such bad things?

When Xiao Yi and nangongyue came to the lobby on the first floor, they found that most of the guests were already there, drinking tea and talking. The most striking one was probably the lady Ding.

Mrs. Ding is sitting in the corner, holding a square of handkerchief in her hand. On her pale oval face, tears fall from a pair of sleeping Phoenix eyes, and her body is shaking slightly, just like a delicate flower in the wind and rain.

The woman in green at the next table looked at Mrs. Ding sympathetically. She waved to Mrs. Ding's servant girl, Xia Lian, and asked with concern: "little girl, your wife's cold should be better? Last night, I heard her cough all the time. When I came back to my room this morning, I didn't seem to hear your wife cough. It was so quiet that I fell asleep until I was nearly gone. I still woke up when I heard a thump coming from the next door... "

Last night, you were so rude Mrs. Ding wiped her tears and said apologetically. Her eyes were red."You are very kind, Mrs. Ding." The woman in green comforted each other in a soft voice and said, "Madam Ding, please forgive me for your sorrow." At the moment, it seemed that she was pleased with her man again. No matter how bad this man is, it's better to live than to die!

Not only the woman in green, other guests in the lobby, boss Huang and the second mate were all looking at Mrs. Ding's direction, whispering in different places. Obviously, they were discussing the death of master Ding. The most tangled one was boss Huang. He was not in the mood to sympathize with Mrs. Ding. The most sympathetic person here is himself. Now, he is the inn It's all over. Two people died. It's enough to spread all over the country.

I'm afraid that his shop will close down after the government closes the case! Thinking about it, boss Huang sighed deeply.

"Boss, hurry up and serve some of the best breakfast in your shop."

Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue casually find a table to sit down and give an order to boss Huang.

Boss Huang came back to his senses and said, "please wait a moment, sir. I'll be here."

After a while, Xiao Yi and nangongyue were given a rich breakfast. The aroma of the food spread in the hall, which made people stir.

Several guests who had no appetite suddenly felt hungry. The man in gray cried out in his voice, "boss, give me two spring onion rolls and a shepherd's purse wonton."

Eat and eat! What else do you know besides eating? The woman in green glared at her man. Before she could open her mouth, she heard that other people had ordered breakfast, so that boss Huang didn't know whether to be happy or to worry.

After another cup of tea, when the head of class he came to the inn again with Liu Wuzuo and several yamen messengers, he saw that the people in this room were eating well. He almost doubted whether he had gone to the wrong place?

This is Yunlai inn where two murders happened. That's right!

"He Bantou!" Boss Huang hurried forward to meet him and led him to the second floor again

After a cup of tea, they came down again.

Nangong Yue took a bite of the soft fried bean paste. After hearing the reputation, he Bantou and his party went down the stairs with a clear goal to Mrs. Ding in the corner and asked, "Madam Ding, it's said that you and your maid first found the body of master Ding?"

"Yes, he Bantou." Mrs. Ding took her veil and wiped her tears. She sobbed and nodded, "my master has been in a trance since returning to his room this morning. It seems that he has something on his mind. I didn't feel well. After drinking hot ginger soup, I fell asleep. When I woke up, I didn't want to sleep with him Who knows when we go upstairs after breakfast, we will see that my master has hanged himself If I had known, I would have called breakfast to the guest room! "

With that, Mrs. Ding's tears surged out like the tide, and her chest heaved rapidly.

"Take care of yourself, ma'am." Xia Lian, her servant girl, hastily stroked her chest for her good luck.

She just took a piece of mashed yam to the south of her mouth.

"He Bantou, it's true!" Boss Huang at the side of he Bantou quickly nodded his head and said, "Madame Ding is the building that she has already gone to, and then the second and I heard the cry of Mrs. Ding and Xia Lian When he went upstairs, he saw that master Ding was already hanging on the beam of the house, and his tongue was sticking out... " That looks like death.

He Bantou squinted and thought. His right hand touched the scabbard on his waist, as if to himself: "now it's more than half of the time. Liu Wuzuo said that master Ding's body still has some residual temperature He died less than an hour, that is to say, he should have been hanged between half of the hour and the hour of the hour. "

During this period, Mrs. Ding and her servant girl Xia Lian had breakfast in the lobby. That is to say, it should be master Ding who chose to hang the beam and commit suicide when Mrs. Ding was not in.

Then, he asked several of his yamen messengers to ask the other people where they were from the middle of the day to the present. Most of the answers were no more than two kinds:

"me? I used to have breakfast here at that time! If you don't believe it, ask the second brother! "

"I didn't sleep late last night. I've been sleeping in my guest room in the morning."

The former is like the old man in grey clothes, an old man, several businessmen, etc., while the latter is like Xiao Yi, nangongyue, Qingyi woman, and Lady Zhong's servant girls.

When asked about a middle-aged businessman, he hesitated and said, "I sleep in my room in the morning But last night... "

He class brow a frown, cold voice urges a way: "what happened last night?"

The middle-aged businessman was startled and replied: "in fact, I saw master Ding go out last night..."

"Why didn't you say that before?" He asked again.

The middle-aged businessman chuckled, "I felt hungry in the middle of the night yesterday, so I went to the kitchen quietly I'm afraid I can't make myself clear What's more, if it's involved in the homicide, I'm afraid you can't leave the town for ten days and a half months. What should he do with this shipment of goods?!With questioning eyes, he Bantou looked at Mrs. Ding and Xia Lian. Other people's eyes also looked at the past. The two masters and servants were obviously nervous and half hung their heads and looked away.

The head of class he was as heavy as water and forced to ask, "Madam Ding, didn't you say that master Ding didn't leave last night?"

Mrs. Ding's delicate body trembled, clear tears fell from the corner of her eyes again, and her expression was full of sadness and helplessness

Xia Lian bit her teeth, went forward half a step and said, "he Bantou, in fact In fact, my master and Mrs. Zhong have already finished

The woman in green shook her head and said, "it's true that you know people and face but not your heart." She thought that master Ding was a man who knew how to cherish his daughter-in-law. She didn't expect to be such a hypocrite!

Xia Lian continued: "my master sneaked out once last night Later, when Mrs. Ding died, the master begged his wife not to say that he had gone out. "

With Xia Lian's narration, the hall is quiet again. Nangong Yue tilts his head thoughtfully. Unconsciously, he eats a piece of jujube mud yam cake and gets a bunch of crispy fruits.

For a moment, he Bantou pondered and speculated: "it seems that these two homicide cases are" feelings. ". Mr. Ding and Mrs. Zhong have a secret affair. Mrs. Zhong is insatiable and incessant. Mr. Ding is the son-in-law of the house. He is afraid that he will have nothing to lose after being found out about this scandal, so he simply kills people. I didn't expect that Mr. Lin found Mrs. Zhong's handkerchief last night. He knew that sooner or later the Yamen would find him, so he committed suicide. "

With that, he Bantou took a look at the "Lin" childe who was busy feeding his wife. He felt that the couple were really strange.

Hearing what he said, there was a commotion in the hall again. Everyone was filled with grief and said: "it must be so!"

"You Dao is" one night husband and one hundred night's grace ". This master Ding is really cruel

"I'm sorry for Mrs. Ding..."

“……”

Amid all the noise, the woman in green bravely asked, "he Bantou, since the truth has been revealed, can we also go?"

He Bantou glanced at her, but relaxed a lot. He said, "you can't leave yet. You have to wait for me to go back and report to the county magistrate, and then we can finish the case." Said, he looked at the middle-aged business road, "you and I go to the county government!"

The middle-aged businessman's face almost didn't collapse, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It's still a day to wait, but it's almost over.

"Click!" Nangong Yue took a bite of the fruit, put down the rest half, and then wiped the corners of his mouth with a towel. Then he said, "a Yi, I'm afraid it will not be settled for the time being..."

Xiao Yi, who is opposite her, doesn't know if she's listening. She picks up a piece of red bean coconut crispy roll with chopsticks.
