Chapter 230: Cross-examination

It was a hotel that didn't look big, and there was only a shopkeeper and a servant at the front desk, and the two were chatting leisurely. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

When the door was opened, the shopkeeper subconsciously looked at the door, and immediately made a face with Fang Zhaofan, who walked in.

Seeing the guests, the shopkeeper smiled at them and said, "Do the two heroines need accommodation?"

Since Fang Zhaofan and the female disciples were wearing low-brimmed hats, the shopkeeper couldn't see their faces clearly at all, but he could roughly guess their identities from their outfits.

In this deep mountain town, sometimes I didn't see a guest from afar for seven or eight days, so most of the people who came to stay were people from this area, and now suddenly two people from outside came, of course they were happy, but at the same time they would be a little wary.

Fang Zhaofan walked to the chair in front of the front desk and sat down, put the Sun and Moon Meteor Knife on the countertop, and then pressed the knife with one hand and looked at the situation in the hotel with the other.

The shopkeeper and his men couldn't help but look at the knife she had placed on the countertop.

Although the knife was contained in the scabbard at this time, they could already vaguely feel the compelling aura of the knife. They exchanged glances and decided not to offend the two of them in any way.

Fang Zhaofan swept every corner of the first floor of the hotel, and then raised his head and swept towards the second floor, but saw that every room on the second floor was locked with the door, so he asked, "Shopkeeper, how is your business here?"

The shopkeeper's surname was Zheng, and he replied with a smile: "Back to this woman, no one has checked in for two days." ”

Fang Zhaofan put on a very sympathetic look for him, and said, "Is this usually the case?

Shopkeeper Zheng said: "Let's put it this way, there will be only one person moving in every three days on average. ”

"Can the income be able to sustain the expenses?" Fang Zhaofan asked again, and slightly raised his face and swept towards the face of the shopkeeper Zheng.

Judging from his appearance alone, this shopkeeper Zheng doesn't look like a bad person.

In order to be able to do this business, the shopkeeper Zheng immediately said diligently: "I can only say that I can barely maintain the balance of payments, mainly because the rent here is not high." If it were in the city, I would definitely have to drink the northwest wind according to my passenger flow. ”

As he spoke, he motioned for his servants to serve tea.

The man immediately trotted away.

"Just you and him here?" Fang Zhaofan asked.

"There are two more, and they are on the night shift today. ”

"Oooh. Fang Zhaofan nodded.

Soon, the man brought the tea, and the shopkeeper immediately poured it for them with his own hands.

"Where are you from?" asked the shopkeeper Zheng.

"From the capital. Fang Zhaofan replied.

"What are you doing in this backwood?" asked the shopkeeper Zheng with a smile again.

"Investigate the case. Fang Zhaofan replied calmly.

As soon as he heard the word 'investigation', the hand of the shopkeeper Zheng holding the teapot shook unconsciously.

They are all honest and honest people who keep their duties, and they will inevitably have a pimple in their hearts when they hear this.

"It's always been peaceful in our small village. Shopkeeper Zheng said.

Fang Zhaofan took a sip of tea, glanced at him, and replied, "I know, but that doesn't mean that no fugitives have ever been here or hiding near here." ”

Shopkeeper Zheng's whole body shook again, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, in short, there is no such situation here this year." ”

Fang Zhaofan's eyes flickered. Stared at him and whispered, "Could it be that there was a situation here last year?"

"No, no. Shopkeeper Zheng waved his hand busily.

Then, he cautiously asked Fang Zhaofan: "Woman, dare to ask what case you are investigating, and who instructed you to come?"

"A homicide. Trusted by a friend of the rivers and lakes. Fang Zhaofan replied.

Then, Fang Zhaofan took out a scroll from his pocket, opened it in front of the shopkeeper Zheng, and asked, "This person, has he ever stayed here?"

Shopkeeper Zheng hurriedly looked at the person in the painting.

At this glance, his face suddenly changed.

Isn't the person in the painting the same person who stayed with him for three days last spring?

However, he was just providing accommodation for this person, and he didn't know anything else, so in order not to get into trouble, Shopkeeper Zheng shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it." ”

But his expression had already been seen by Fang Zhaofan, so Fang Zhaofan approached him and said, "The shopkeeper, harboring criminals must be dealt with as the crime of harboring." ”

Shopkeeper Zheng hurriedly smiled and said, "I really haven't seen this person." ”

"Then I have to suspect that you are in league with the prisoners. Fang Zhaofan said without being salty, raised his head and drank the tea in the cup.

Shopkeeper Zheng immediately knelt down and said, "The little one is absolutely innocent." ”

"How do you prove it?"

"The small ones are vouched for by heads. ”

Fang Zhaofan snorted coldly, looked at him and said coldly, "How many heads do you think you have?"

"There is only one, and I hope that the heroine will raise her noble hand. Zheng shopkeeper said, and immediately kowtowed.

Fang Zhaofan looked at the guest check-in form on the table behind them, and already had some ideas in his heart.

I saw her suddenly get up, stretch her hands forward, and the customer check-in form was held in her hand.

Shopkeeper Zheng saw that his face changed greatly, and then he sighed helplessly.

In terms of martial arts, neither he nor his subordinates were opponents of the two of them, so they could only take a more moderate approach to gain more initiative.

Fang Zhaofan directly flipped through the guest check-in records from early spring to early summer last year, and soon found that there was a person who stayed here for three days in a row.

In the customer's check-in form, the person's name is Lu Gaofei, and his age is 30.

However, this information alone is not enough.

Fang Zhaofan knew very well - the most important thing at the moment was to consult with Shopkeeper Zheng to see if this person was the person in the portrait she had just taken out.

From the point of view of time, it is very likely that the age is basically the same.

"Is the person on the painting this person?" Fang Zhaofan asked the shopkeeper Zheng.

Shopkeeper Zheng hurriedly said: "It's been a long time, I don't remember much." ”

Fang Zhaofan leaned closer to his ear again and said, "Does the shopkeeper have to force me to make a move?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, I really don't remember. Just think about it, even if there are only fifteen people living here a month, it has been more than a year since last spring, and if it weren't for something unusual about the other party, I would never have been impressed in my heart. ”

Fang Zhaofan didn't want to listen to him anymore, so he pulled out the knife and drove it to his neck with lightning speed, then she stood up, approached him step by step, and asked, "Your life is important or it is important to keep it secret for him, you can decide for yourself." ”

Shopkeeper Zheng only felt that his whole body was weak, and hurriedly said: "Okay, I confess, I confess, Woman, this is the person you asked." ”

Fang Zhaofan looked at him and asked, "Don't lie." ”

"It's true. ”
