Chapter 162: Ice
Yunxiang Restaurant was sealed, and from the moment the official arrived, no one was allowed to enter or leave. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Shen Qiao and Gu Xuan sent Princess Qi to the door, and the two stayed with Ah Wang and Xiaoxiao.
Fortunately, it was past noon, and there were not many people eating inside, only two or three tables of guests.
Because something like this has happened in Liangzhou Mansion recently, there are fewer people staying in Liangzhou Mansion, and as a result, there are fewer guests staying at the hotel.
In addition to Shen Qiao and his party, there are also five rooms of guests in Yunxiang Restaurant, two of which are businessmen who are going to business, and two are people who are passing through Fucheng.
They all learned about this from Nie Feng, the head catcher of the Liangzhou Mansion.
Because Princess Qi left, Xiao He, as a guard, had to follow.
Now there are only the people from the yamen, the people in the restaurant, and the guests.
Nie Zhutou took Shen Qiao and Gu Xuan together to inquire about the situation of everyone in the restaurant at that time, including the chef of the restaurant.
But everybody has something to do, and someone can prove it.
This thing looks very strange.
The last thing Nie Zhutou took the two of them to ask was the chef of the restaurant, all the cooks were eating in the back kitchen at that time, and there were no suspicious behaviors.
"Nie Zhutou, when can we leave? You can't leave all night, right? ”
The master chef looked at Nie Zhutou with some depression and asked.
"At this time, I can't be the master, and I have to listen to the orders of the adults. Think about it, too, and see if any strange people have been here this morning, or strange things have happened. ”
Nie Zhutou said.
"What's the strange one? It's not all the usual food delivery and meat delivery. Besides that, who will come to the kitchen? ”
One of the cooks said.
"Meat?"
Something suddenly appeared in Shen Qiao's mind, but it flashed too fast for her to catch it.
"Well, people send fresh meat and fresh vegetables every day, and our restaurant is ......."
The cook Balabala said something, but Shen Qiao didn't hear it at all.
Meat?
Meat?
That's all she has in her head.
"Gu Xuan, let's go to the guest room and have a look."
Shen Qiao suddenly picked up Gu Xuan and went towards the building where he was staying.
The Yunxiang Restaurant in Liangzhou Mansion has two parts, one part is a restaurant, and the other part is an inn.
The ground floor is full of eating places, half of the second floor is private rooms, the other half is guest rooms, and the third floor is full of guest rooms.
Princess Qi and her entourage all lived on the third floor.
Gu Xuan followed Shen Qiao to the place where Princess Qi lived before.
Nie Zhutou instructed that the place where Princess Qi lived was the scene of the crime, and no idlers were allowed to approach.
Even Shen Qiao and Gu Xuan arrived at the door, but they were stopped by the officials.
It wasn't until the head of Nie Zhutou in the back followed that the official let him go.
Gu Xuan was about to say a few words about Nie Zhu, but was stopped by Shen Qiao.
"Jojo?"
Gu Xuan was a little puzzled and looked at Shen Qiao suspiciously.
"Nie Zhutou did the right thing. In fact, the stepmother shouldn't have stayed here after she was frightened just now, but fortunately, Xiaoxiao didn't move around much, this is a crime scene, and it really needs to be protected. ”
Shen Qiao explained.
These words made Nie Zhutou look up at her.
Shen Qiao nodded towards Nie Zhutou, and then pulled Gu Xuan into the house.
Nie Zhutou smiled, and then followed.
Shen Qiao pulled Gu Xuan directly into the back room and arrived at the shelf that was said to be hanging legs.
"Nie Zhutou, I want to ask, what was that leg hung on this shelf at that time? I didn't think about it just now, but I smiled. ”
Shen Qiao said.
"There's no need to hang it, the knees are bent, it's like this."
Nie Zhutou stepped forward, gestured, and said.
Shen Qiao nodded and didn't ask anything more.
Nie Zhutou's posture is like a person sitting on a hill, with his knees bent and his thighs at right angles to his calves.
Just, how?
It stands to reason that it is okay to be able to maintain that posture if the person is intact, but if it is only a stump of a limb, it is a little difficult, and there is nothing to support it.
"Jojo, what's the problem?"
Gu Xuan stopped talking after seeing Shen Qiao ask, and stared at the shelf again, so he asked.
"Nope."
Shen Qiao shook his head.
There were blood stains on the shelves, and there were also on the ground, and the blood stains had long since dried.
Shen Qiao squatted down and carefully observed the blood stains on the ground, which should have dripped from the leg when the calf was hanging.
After reading it, Shen Qiao stood up again.
There was a bigger blood stain where the thigh was.
It's just that it's a little different from the ones on the ground.
The blood on the shelves is lighter.
Shen Qiao squatted down again and looked at the ground.
Although Princess Qi wants the best upper room, this room is not all carpeted, just right, there is no under this shelf.
So, the blood dripped onto the plank.
The drops of blood on the boards were almost thick, but the side was still a little as light as the one on the shelf.
What's even stranger is that there are a few large drops on the floor, only the middle is bright red, and the sides are very dim.
"Water."
Shen Qiao got up suddenly and said.
"Are you thirsty?"
Gu Xuan, who had been watching her squatting down and getting up and squatting down from the side, immediately asked.
"It's not that I'm going to drink water, it's that there's water in the blood."
Shen Qiao said, pointing out the difference he found to Gu Xuan and Nie Zhutou.
"If that's the case, why is there water?"
Nie Zhutou said.
"Nie Zhutou, you shouldn't ask why there is water, you should ask where this blood comes from?"
Shen Qiao said.
"Huh? Isn't the blood coming out because the leg was cut off? ”
Nie Zhutou said subconsciously.
"Yes, it bleeds when it is cut, but it is all out after being cut for a while, so where does it come from?"
Shen Qiao said.
"What if it's not a while? It didn't take long for you to cut it? ”
Nie Zhutou said again.
"You're stupid!"
Without waiting for Shen Qiao to speak, Gu Xuan said directly.
"There are big inner guards guarding the outside of this room, and even the maids guarding outside have martial arts. say
It was clear that he had not come in through normal means.
Maybe he had been hiding in here before, and when he arrived, he put his legs on the shelf and walked out of the window.
And this leg must not have been cut by him, it must have been cut and the ice was raised with ice, and when the ice melted, there was water.
And it is impossible for him to have just chopped it, because there is nothing abnormal in the inn, if he just chopped it, he will carry it all the way, there must be blood stains on the road, no matter how well he hides it, there will always be some places where it will be touched, so this leg must be made of ice. ”
Gu Xuan said with certainty.
In fact, when Shen Qiao was talking about water, he was thinking about it.
