Chapter 290: Investigation
In order to find it conveniently, Zhao Yin discussed with Dugu Weiwei, and wanted to first separate the regular customers and fresh faces among the twenty-seven guests, and then check the identity and household registration one by one. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The shopkeeper cooperated with the guidance one by one to separate the raw and cooked customers, twenty-seven guests, plus the four maids brought by Sikong Miaoyan and Miss Han, a total of thirty-one people, except for the six masters and servants, twenty-one of the remaining twenty-five guests are regular customers, often come to Mingyue Lou to meet guests or discuss business, and each other can prove their identities.
Zhao Yin separated them separately and stood aside. Of the other four people, an old man claimed to have come to Beijing to visit relatives, and one of the regular customers came to Mingyuelou to taste tea. The regular customer immediately proved that the old man was right.
There was also a woman, in her forties, who was shrewd and neatly dressed. He said that he was waiting for his business partner, but the other party did not come.
When she spoke, she only heard someone outside the door say loudly: "It's coming, it's early, the chamaster won't let me in, so I can only wait outside, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
There was a Jingzhao Mansion official guarding the door, and Zhao Yin ordered: "Let him in." ”
As soon as the man entered the door, the shopkeeper hurriedly said to Zhao Yin: "This is Jia Erye on this street, who is doing fur business on the other side, and that is Jia Erye's shop." As he spoke, he reached out and gestured to a shop outside the door.
The third person has a dark face, traces of frequent wind and sun exposure, a lot of wrinkles on his face, and his appearance looks honest, looking like an ordinary farmer. But he was wearing a silk cotton robe, which was very incompatible with his temperament.
This person was asked by Zhao Yin, and immediately stammered a little: "Villain, villain is a flower farmer, a superb peony cultivated a few days ago was favored by a nobleman and sold for a large price." The villain has money, and he wants to try and try the life of a rich and noble family, so he came to the teahouse to see and understand. ”
At the end, he hurriedly waved his hand and added: "The villain is really not an assassin, I heard that the person who bought the villain peony is the housekeeper of the eldest princess's mansion, adults can go and inquire, it's really not a villain." ”
Zhao Yin was noncommittal, and then asked the last guest's household registration name and the purpose of coming to Mingyue Pavilion.
The man was in his twenties, lean, and dressed in an iron-red slanted robe with black trim on the collar and cuffs. The eyebrows are short and thick, the cheekbones are slightly larger, the skin is slightly darker, and the eyes wander when looking at people.
As soon as he spoke, the official dialect was in the local dialect, which was indistinguishable and strange. His expression was a little slippery, and he said with a smile: "I am a person from Maozhou, Lingnan Province, surnamed Zhou Mingqing, who had an awkward relationship with my father at home, and came to the capital to see the world." This is the place of transgression. ”
As he spoke, he handed over a piece of paper, on which his name and place of origin were registered, and even his physical characteristics.
Dugu Weiwei knew that the pass at this time was equivalent to the ID card of the future generations, which was necessary to go out, and he would be stopped when he entered the city gate without the pass.
Of course, as in modern times, ID cards can be forged, and so will the transit office.
After a preliminary understanding of the situation, Zhao Yin accepted the passage of several people, and asked the shopkeeper which guest was holding his arm when he entered the door.
The shopkeeper thought about it for a long time with a bitter face, and asked if he still had an impression of the young running hall.
Ran Tang recalled: "The old man entered the door with both hands on his hands......"
Dugu Weiwei looked at the four of them, except for the flower farmer who was wearing dark sauce clothes, which was close to the color of the assassin's clothes, among the other three, the woman was wearing a garnet red dress, and the old man was wearing a green shirt.
Looking closely at the flower farmer, she was inclined to say the truth. As for holding hands, it is actually a sign of lack of self-confidence. The poor are suddenly rich, and they do not walk like the rich who are confident, and they always have to cringe with their hands and feet high.
Ran Tang glanced at Zhou Qing, who was questioning at the end, several times, and said uncertainly: "This guest seems to have an arm as well." ”
Then he pointed to the two regular customers, and said that the rest of them were really unimpressed, and couldn't remember what state they were in when they entered the door.
Dugu Weiwei had been observing everyone's demeanor and eyes, and then suddenly stared at the four guests, and said, "Lord Zhao, you might as well check the hands of these four." ”
Before Zhao Yin could react, Dugu Shaotang instantly understood what his daughter meant, and said: "The assassin uses a bow and arrow to assassinate, and he thinks that his archery skills are good." The archers who are used to shooting in the army all the year round will have calluses on their left hand because they often control the bow, and their right hand will have no traces of wearing a wrench on their thumb because they have to pull the strings, or there will be a hard callus on the inside. Whether it is an assassin or not, you will know as soon as you examine your hand. ”
When Zhou Qing heard this, a pair of hanging hands subconsciously clenched his fists, but he immediately found that Dugu Weiwei was staring at his hand and saw his small movements.
His eyes shrank slightly, and he quickly smiled: "This doesn't mean that the one who can shoot arrows is at this moment, he was born in a military family and practiced riding and archery since he was a child, how can he be an assassin because of a coincidence?" ”
He distinguishes in his mouth, but his eyes never leave Dugu Weiwei's face, it seems that he is talking to others, but what he really cares about is Dugu Weiwei's reaction.
He noticed that the girl in front of him frowned slightly, as if she was troubled by something and couldn't figure it out.
Zhao Yin said: "It also makes sense, but this is also easy to judge, come here, check the hands of everyone present, and if there are any that meet the characteristics described by the general, they will all be brought back to Jingzhao Mansion!" ”
How can Jingzhao Mansion distinguish so much from them in handling cases, it has always been to catch the suspect, and with a big punishment, everything will be clear.
Modern society pays attention to the fact that there is no suspicion, but Dawei is always suspicious.
Zhou Qing's face changed, he looked left and right a few times, and saw that the servants stepped forward in response to the fat man standing in front of him to start checking, he was thinking about countermeasures, and suddenly saw Dugu Weiwei smile suddenly, and said: "I see!" Lord Zhao, do it slowly, you might as well make this person take off his coat and see if it is dark inside. ”
One of her delicate fingers, like a green onion, pointed at Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing's face changed, and she suddenly understood that she couldn't figure out what the problem was, she couldn't figure out that the assassin was obviously wearing dark clothes, but the color of the clothes on his body was iron red.
He couldn't sit still, he had to find a way out. At this moment, he saw that the eldest lady frowned, as if she was disgusted that there were many people behind her and the smell was not good, so he paced two steps to this side.
These two steps made Sikong Miaoyan only three or four steps away from where he was standing.
This is a great opportunity! If he misses this opportunity, he is afraid that he will be planted here today.
He immediately made a decision, stepped forward with a strong step, clasped one hand around Sikong Miaoyan's neck, and shouted: "Don't come here!" Or I'll kill her! ”
Miss Han was shocked by the sudden change of hands and screamed in horror on her face.
The maid brought by Sikong Miaoyan also screamed in fright.
Zhao Yin shouted loudly and stepped forward: "Hurry up and let go of Miss Sikong!" ”
"Don't come here!" Zhou Qing hijacked Sikong Miaoyan and took a step back.
