199 Homicide

Streets of Liangzhou.

Wang Er Inn.

Wang Er Inn is a century-old store in Liangzhou Mansion, with a first-class reputation and the trust of new and old customers.

In the early hours of the morning, the inn was still in a deep sleep, when suddenly a sharp and frightened shout pierced the silence.

Soon, the shopkeepers and tenants who were awakened flocked to the No. 7 room.

The door was opened, the curtains were all opened, and I saw that in this large shop that could squeeze ten customers, there was now only a half-old child left, and he wrapped his body tightly in a cotton coat before he had time to dress, pointing to the big kang in the room and crying again and again.

The shopkeeper took the guys and the lively guests into the house to check, but saw that on the big kang, in the quilt that was opened last night, a man was sleeping naked, with a big blood in his neck, the blood flowed half of the kang, and the quilt was dyed red.

The cry alarmed the children, and under the comfort of everyone, they stammered that he was a beggar, and that he had come here every night to stay, and that he had always been peaceful, and that a few men had come last night, and everyone had nothing to say, and went to bed early. When he woke up, he found that the house was empty, so he got up and opened the curtains to look, only to find that the others were gone, and only he was left sleeping next to a dead man in the bed, and half of his body was stained red with blood.

The shopkeeper saw that there was a dead person, and his face was gloomy, Wang Er Inn has been peaceful all these years, and suddenly someone died, which is a very unlucky thing, on the one hand, he blocked the news, and on the other hand, he immediately sent someone to report to the government.

The government officials came quickly.

In fact, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and besides, this murder case could not be blocked, and soon, the news of the murder in the middle of the night in Wang Er's Inn spread like a wind on the ground in Liangzhou.

The shopkeeper spent a lot of money to make dots around, so the store was not closed, but the dead room No. 7 was sealed.

The government put up posters everywhere, with the portrait of the dead painted by the Danqing master, and for a while, the streets and alleys of Liangzhou Mansion could see the poster with the appearance of the deceased, the identity of the deceased was unknown, and the help of the informed person was needed to identify, so as to further contact the family of the deceased and investigate and solve the case.

Waiting for the carriage with a dark gray curtain to stop at the door of Wang Er's Inn, out of the car came out of the shopkeeper Ke, Xu Langzhong, followed by the dumb aunt in the white skirt.

The dumb aunt carried the small medicine box that she carried from the shopkeeper Ke's house on her shoulder.

The escort said very little, but only after getting off the car did he briefly explain, telling everyone to rest first, and after a while, someone would send the patient's situation for night study, and enter the government office early tomorrow morning to see a doctor.

The dumb aunt walked around and sat all the way to the car and became stiff, while looking at it with a flash, this Wang Er Inn is really magnificent, although the store is a little old, and the decoration is not very gorgeous, but if you look closely, you will find that this is actually a big store that has been around for a while.

"Sir, there is no place to live, we are full. The shopkeeper was embarrassed to tell the tolerance.

"Oh?" "I've been tired all the way, and I'm tired of this tolerance, so I'm very unhappy, "I've already greeted you, and we're not allowed to solicit business from outside the world recently, we've covered this room, how did you arrange it?"

The guy stammered, "This, the little ones who are the official naturally don't dare to forget it, it's just that it's just a coincidence recently, and something happened the night before, the night before......"

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed and didn't dare to say anything more.

"Say - if you have a fart, what are you doing holding back?"

The tolerance suddenly pulled out the waist knife from his waist, "Is it a big bully in the store, dare not take our state capital Lord Zhang in his eyes?"

"Don't don't, don't-" Xiao Er curled up and retreated, "How dare you - it was someone who died the night before, someone who died - it's in this number room, you see, the seal is still on the door, it's also strange, this dead person is said to be unlucky, but for some reason, suddenly there are more customers in our store——"

As he spoke, he turned around and pointed to the house behind him, "Those sky numbers are full, and the land numbers are also full, this is something that has never happened in our store, and there are often vacant rooms when our business is at its hottest——"

"Don't talk nonsense, just make room for us!" The man was not interested in the matter of the dead, he just wanted to find a house and settle people in immediately, and he could rush back to hand over the errand.

"Official, the villain really didn't lie, it's really full, and now only the No. 7 room is left, you know, no one from the government will unseal it, no one will dare to tear it off privately, even if it is revealed now, no one will dare to live in it——"

Before he finished his ramblings, he had already rushed over, and the waist knife slid up, up and down, picking up the big red note that was crisscrossed and pasted at the door, and the red seal of the Liangzhou Mansion was split in half.

The creak door opened.

"Quickly arrange for them to live in-I am the public of the Liangzhou Mansion, I will explain in front of Lord Zhang Zhizhou if there is anything I have to do - the matter is urgent, what can only be done-" The tolerance saw that the shopkeeper was dumbfounded, and suddenly realized that his move was reckless, but there was no turning back from the bow, since he had done it, he could not be undone, briefly explained, and told the little two to take care of the shopkeeper Ke and the others, and he hurried back to the mansion.

The conversation between the shopkeeper and the tolerance was heard by everyone.

Now looking at the door of the black hole, Shopkeeper Ke looked at Xu Langzhong, Xu Langzhong pretended not to see his hesitant and discussant eyes, and turned his head to look at the street scene outside the gate.

The shopkeeper Ke said: "Is it really dead? He died the night before, so we are asked to live in? And we are not a family, there is a difference between men and women, how can we live in one room?"

The dumb aunt quietly covered her mouth.

This famous doctor Ke is afraid of the dead?

It's really a strange story, a doctor, a person who has spent most of his life dealing with dead people, can be afraid of the dead?

The shopkeeper looked bitter, smiled hard and apologized, saying that there is really no house, it can only be like this, you bear with me.

But the shopkeeper received countless guests and read countless people, he looked at these three people in his heart It was really strange, the old man and the old woman, obviously an old couple, how could not the husband and wife have such a strange and awkward demeanor, the husband looked at the old woman, the old woman just ignored him, and this delicate little girl, it may be their daughter, but the creator is really good at creation, the mother-in-law is so ugly, and the daughter born is like a flower and jade.

figured out the sophistication of these people, and the little two, who thought he was smart, was down-to-earth, and the old couple had an awkward quarrel, so the old man simply told outsiders that everyone was a stranger and wanted to sleep separately. In fact, it will not be separated in the end.

"How unlucky—" Shopkeeper Ke muttered.

What the shopkeeper didn't expect was that the woman in white smiled lightly, looked at the wood carving pattern on the lintel, and suddenly said leisurely, "We live, we live here." (To be continued.) )
