Chapter 63: Helping Others
Wen Ziqi thought for a while, and said thoughtfully: "It should have something to do with the strange case here yesterday!" ”
Huang Zhutou nodded and said with a smile: "That's true, I guess I was busy in the hall all night last night!" ”
Wen Ziqi was slightly stunned, and asked puzzledly: "What does Huang Zhutou mean by this, the little brother doesn't understand it very well!" ”
Huang Zhutou looked at Wen Ziqi suspiciously, and asked softly, "Wasn't Brother Wen in the hall last night?" Many of these people who are making trouble outside now say that they all went to Yichun Hall last night. With that, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction behind him.
Wen Ziqi heard Huang Zhutou say this and understood what Pei Yuanting said in the house in the morning, so he smiled slightly embarrassedly and said, "I was really not in the hall last night because of something!" ”
Huang Zhutou nodded suddenly and said: "No wonder, some of the people in this group outside now have indeed eaten here yesterday, and some of them want to take the opportunity to blackmail the shopkeeper of the New Year!" ”
Wen Ziqi smiled and said, "Take the opportunity to blackmail? Is this opportunity what happened here yesterday? ”
Huang Zhutou nodded and said sharply: "These guys who fish in troubled waters, you can't prove that he hasn't eaten here, so you can only let them mess around!" ”
Wen Ziqi also nodded and echoed: "That's true, the house of opening a store is most afraid of encountering this kind of scoundrel!" ”
Huang Zhutou sighed and said with a wry smile: "Although I want to help him, but my helpless level is limited, and besides, I am also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river now, and it is difficult to protect myself!" ”
Wen Ziqi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and after a little thought, he said: "It's all come to this point, if Huang Zhutou has any difficulties, just say it." As long as I can help, I will definitely help! ”
I saw Huang Zhutou's eyebrows tightened, and he said with a sad face: "Brother Wen, then I'm welcome!" With that, he got up and walked around Wen Ziqi's back, leaned over and picked up a box more than two feet from the ground, and placed it on the table in the middle of the room.
Seeing this, Wen Ziqi hurriedly got up and walked over, pointed to the box on the table with his hand and said, "Didn't you say it was a human head?" Looking at the length, it should be an arm, right? ”
Huang Zhutou stared at Wen Ziqi and said with an incredulous expression: "How did Brother Wen guess that this is an arm!" ”
Wen Ziqi smiled and said, "It's very simple, length!" When I came in just now, I heard the people at the door shouting that not only the head was found here, but also other stumps, and it was not difficult to judge from Huang Zhutou's words that what these people said was definitely not a lie! Now that we know that what we say is true, it will be easy to follow this length. ”
Huang Zhutou couldn't help but secretly rejoice when he heard this: "The mind is so meticulous, it is really as the man said." In addition, I heard that this person knows a lot about drugs, maybe this case really depends on him! ”
Thinking that this case might be solved, his face couldn't help but show a trace of relief.
Wen Ziqi saw everything in his eyes, and said calmly: "Huang Zhutou, you can open it, although I am only an apprentice, but I am also a person who studies medicine, and it is not the first time I have seen a stump and a broken arm, so there is no need to worry too much." ”
Huang Zhutou nodded and said, "Okay, then Brother Lauwen will help me see what kind of poison this is!" ”
After saying that, he reached out to untie the ribbon tied to the box, and after seeing the contents of the box, although Wen Ziqi, who had already prepared, still felt that his stomach was like turning over the river and the sea.
I saw a broken arm in the box, with a faint corpse spot on it, not so much a corpse spot as a bruise!
Wen Ziqi's pupils shrank, and he carefully looked at the broken arm in front of him. Although this corpse stench made people vomit when they smelled it, they saw Wen Ziqi's nose sucking slightly.
A trace of grass fragrance was actually mixed in it, Wen Ziqi frowned slightly, thought about it and said to Huang Zhutou: "Huang Zhutou, please ask the shopkeeper to bring me a white radish!" ”
Huang Zhutou was slightly stunned, and then ran out quickly, and after a few breaths, he saw Huang Zhutou walking in with a white radish the length of a baby's arm.
Wen Ziqi stretched out his hand to take the radish and said, "Borrow a saber!" ”
Huang Zhutou hurriedly pulled out the saber on his waist and offered it with both hands, Wen Ziqi reached out to take the saber without saying a word, and turned the radish into two with the knife in his hand. Then he used the tip of the knife to cut an inch-long cut on the severed arm. After a few breaths, I saw a few drops of black blood slowly oozing from the incision.
Wen Ziqi saw that blood was oozing, so he turned the blade and returned the saber to Huang Zhutou.
Although Huang Zhutou didn't know what Wen Ziqi's intention was for this operation, he felt that Wen Ziqi was by no means the kind of person who bluffed, so he had to hold back the confusion in his heart and stare at him intently.
I saw Wen Ziqi holding a white radish in each hand and gently pressing it at the incision, and the black blood as ink seemed to be attached to the two white radishes!
Huang Zhutou was amazed and asked, "Brother Wen, what is the situation!" ”
Wen Ziqi frowned, and said slowly: "Huang Zhutou, please let the shopkeeper come in, I have something important to ask!" ”
Huang Zhutou felt from Wen Ziqi's words that things seemed to have taken a turn for the better, so he smiled and nodded, and shouted in the direction of the door: "Brother Nian, come in, Brother Wen has something to ask you!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a man surnamed Nian pushing open the door and walking over with an anxious face.
Wen Ziqi saw that this person had been waiting at the door, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of this person. Then he opened his mouth and said: "Shopkeeper Nian, because the matter is urgent, I won't greet you anymore." I'll get straight to the point. ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he nodded and said, "Brother Wen, if you have anything to ask, just ask!" ”
Wen Ziqi nodded and said, "How many people ate here yesterday, can you identify them all?"
The shopkeeper didn't want to open his mouth and said: "There are three tables in total, a total of seven people!" Except for the two more face-to-face students, the others are neighbors who have greeted each other on Qingzhou Street! There shouldn't be any problem! ”
Wen Ziqi nodded and said, "Okay!" The meaning of the shopkeeper is that there are five people who can accurately identify it, and two of them are a bit difficult, right? ”
The shopkeeper thought for a while and said: "If these two people are among them, they should be able to recognize each other, after all, it is too obvious, a thin and tall man speaks with a sour and rotten gas!" The other Humpty Dumpty has a hot temper and gets angry at every turn. ”
Wen Ziqi nodded and said, "Okay, since the shopkeeper is sure, it would be better." ”
Then he turned his head to Huang Zhutou and said, "Brother Zhutou, did you come here today with a servant?" ”
Huang Zhutou said: "In order to prevent someone from taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, I brought more than a dozen people. ”
Wen Ziqi thought for a while and then said: "Huang Zhutou, you let the shopkeeper lead these dozen officials to "invite" all five people to the inn for me. I have something to say. ”
Huang Zhutou glanced at Wen Ziqi, then dragged the shopkeeper to the front yard, stretched out his hand and called a servant to give him advice. When everything was arranged, he hurried back.
As soon as he entered the door, he asked softly: "Brother Wen, can you tell Brother Fool what is going on!" ”
Wen Ziqi took a look at Huang Zhutou, picked up the two white radishes placed there, pointed to the place that was originally stained with blood, and said, "Huang Zhutou, look at this radish!" ”
Huang Zhutou looked along his fingertips, and saw that the place that had been cut by the knife should have been as smooth as a mirror, but now it was sunken in about an inch deep!
Huang Zhutou was stunned in place, and said in shock: "This? ”
Wen Ziqi nodded and said: "This was found there, you naturally know better than me, even if it is a drop of blood spilled in the diet, I am afraid it will cause diarrhea!" Besides, it's fished out of it! ”
After hearing this, Huang Zhutou suddenly felt that the shopkeeper and his subordinates were so procrastinating, and they hadn't seen those five people invited in for so long, so he hurriedly turned around and ran towards the front yard!
Wen Ziqi couldn't help but sigh and muttered, "I hope you don't guess by yourself!" ”
After about half a cup of tea, he heard bursts of abuse outside, Wen Ziqi looked up, and saw that the originally empty courtyard was already full at this time!
As soon as he wanted to raise his feet and go out, he saw the shopkeeper Nian saying with a smile on his face: "Brother Wen, please come in!" But there are only two, only five! ”
Wen Ziqi frowned, and said secretly in his heart: "It's not good!" ”
said anxiously: "It seems that something is still wrong, so it can only be like this!" With that, he walked to the front yard.
Looking at the people standing, Wen Ziqi cleared his throat and said loudly: "Everyone, you must have thought about what I asked you to come in for!" ”
I saw a person standing in the front row wearing a royal blue embroiderer's shirt, stroking his gray beard under his chin with his hand and saying: "Naturally, it is a matter of negotiating compensation, why is it difficult to guess!" ”
Wen Ziqi smiled and said: "The matter of compensation, let's talk about it later, I will ask you now, did you order the lo-mei of Yuelai Restaurant yesterday?" ”
Everyone said in a gossipy voice: "After eating, didn't you come to Yuelai Restaurant for his lo-mei?" ”
Wen Ziqi looked back at the helpless shopkeeper next to him and said, "How many copies were sold yesterday?" ”
The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "There are three servings in total, one for each table!" ”
After hearing this, Wen Ziqi thought for a while and said, "Are you sure you sold three copies?" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded and said, "I'm sure there are only three copies!" ”
After Wen Ziqi got the confirmation, he turned around, pointed to the five people in front of him with his hand and said, "Although a few of you ordered, you didn't eat it!" Am I right? ”
The crowd said, "How do you know we didn't eat!" ”
Wen Ziqi said coldly: "If you had eaten, you wouldn't be standing here now." There were seven people dining yesterday, do you know why it's just five of you now? ”
A tall thin man who seemed to be in the same group as the royal blue embroiderer's shirt snorted, and said in a weird manner: "I should have negotiated the compensation and went home early, right?" ”
