Chapter Ninety-Eight: No Clue
Spring Building, the land of wind and snow, is also known as the land of bliss, as early as the fairy world, I often heard those who went down to the mortal tribulation to mention, I didn't expect that after I went down to earth, I also had the opportunity to set foot in this kind of place.
Speaking of which, that guy from Mo Dye seems to be often fooling around in the Qinglou, saying that he is looking for information, and he doesn't know what clues he can get from here now.
Thinking about it, the person had already come to the inside of the Qinglou, and a clear voice also sounded at this time, saying: "This guest officer, our Mingzhu Building has been sealed today, and it can't be opened for the time being, so please go back."
The visitor was the old bustard in the pearl building, dressed in bright red and wearing heavy makeup, and looked about forty years old.
Holding a round fan, covering half of his face, when he approached, his expression was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed out loud, and said, "It's really strange, it's the first time I've seen a girl come to visit the Qinglou."
I clasped my hands into fists and responded, "I'm here to find someone."
When the old bustard heard this, he turned his head to look at me and sneered, "Looking for someone? Little sister, there are only women in my green building, and there is no man you are looking for~ Hurry up. ”
I glanced at her a little speechlessly, and simply showed the search warrant given by Tian Lu directly, and said, "Don't be poor with me, the Jingzhou General Mansion will handle the case, you'd better cooperate a little, understand?"
"Hey, it turned out to be an adult sent by the general government to investigate the case, even if you investigate, the small one must cooperate with it."
Having said that, the mockery and disdain hidden in the corners of her eyes were clearly seen by me. When I asked, she also showed a non-answering attitude.
"I heard that the deceased Zhang Sheng defiled your top geisha in the Pearl Building seven days ago, I don't know where that geisha is now?"
"You mean Wanying, after she was ruined by Zhang Sheng, the eighth calf of the king, she hanged herself the next day."
"Dead?!" My eyes widened.
The old bustard pouted and said: "Who says it's not, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, after entering my pearl building, she only sells her art and does not sell herself, abides by chastity, and after being forcibly occupied by that Zhang Sheng, she can't bear it for a while and kills herself, it's a pity, I still expect her to help me make more money."
"And where is her body now? Take me to see it. ”
"What do you see? I had already let people take him to the suburbs to be buried, otherwise it would be unfortunate to let a dead man here, and I don't have to do business? The old bustard shook the round fan in his hand lightly and said unhurriedly: "You can't see the dead man, but I can take you to her room to have a look."
"Okay, take me to see it." I thoughtfully raised my hand and asked her to lead the way.
The geisha's room was at the end of the corridor on the second floor, and as soon as she walked into the room, she was greeted by the smell of flowers, and everything here was a soft pink color.
A wardrobe more than two meters high stands in the corner, filled with miscellaneous shirts and leather skirts, which, according to the bustard, are the clothes worn by the geisha Wanyi during her lifetime.
"Aren't you unlucky? Why don't you throw her clothes out with them? I glanced at her, and felt like something was wrong in it.
"My lord reminds me that I'll have her stuff thrown away later." The old bustard said with a smile.
I rolled my eyes, then waved my hand, and said, "Don't be so troublesome, anyway, there are no clues here, I should also go, I'll help you take these things out and throw them away."
Sure enough, when he saw me reaching out to get the clothes in the closet, the old bustard immediately looked panicked, hurriedly pulled me away, and said, "Oh, my lord, this dead man's things are so unlucky, just let others clean them up later."
"I'll do it anyway."
"If you can't do it, you can leave this kind of thing to the next people to do."
The bustard stood in front of the wardrobe and wouldn't let me get closer, but the more she stopped it, the more I thought there was something wrong with the wardrobe, but now was not the time to startle the snake.
"Okay, then you quickly have someone clean up these things, and I'll go first." With that, I turned around and walked out.
When he came to the door of the Spring Tower, he beckoned a few more officials and whispered: "You keep this Spring Tower close to me, don't let anyone inside leave here for half a step, and don't let anyone enter, you know?"
"Subordinates take orders!"
"Okay, let's go our own way, if you find any clues, remember to tell me as soon as possible." After a few simple words, I turned around and went to the restaurant.
This is the last suspicious location, and I don't know what clues can be found in the cross-examination.
The owner of the restaurant is a woman in her thirties, dressed in gold and silver, with a touch of mature women, with perfect curves, unevenness, and light makeup on her face.
As soon as I entered the door, I directly showed the search warrant of the general mansion and said, "I won't talk nonsense, tell me everything you know."
The proprietress of the restaurant poured me a cup of hot tea first, and then showed a sad look, and said: "My lord, that Zhang Sheng's death has absolutely nothing to do with me, last month, I accompanied my husband back to my hometown in the countryside, and only returned to Jingzhou three days ago to continue business, this neighbor knows about it." And our restaurant and Zhang Sheng have no grudges, how can they kill people? ”
"That's ......" I nodded slightly and continued to ask, "Are there any suspicious people in your restaurant these days?"
The proprietress of the restaurant recalled seriously and said: "At noon yesterday, a young man came to stay in the hotel, and he looked like a talent, but he didn't even have a penny in his body, I saw that he was pitiful, so I opened a room for him to live in."
"And what about him now?"
The proprietress frowned softly and said, "I left early this morning, but that guy is too unkind, I kindly gave him a place to live, he is good, the room is stinky, and now no one wants to take this job if you give money to let people go in and clean it."
Stinky and stinky? Could it be the smell of blood from corpses?! I hurriedly got up and asked the restaurant owner to take me to the room.
"Huh? My lord, the smell of that room is unbearable, so let's not go. "The hostess looked embarrassed and didn't really want to take me there.
I raised my eyebrows, sat back in my chair, poured myself a cup of tea, drank it unhurriedly, and nodded, "Okay, then I won't go." But I have to tell you, if this case is not closed for a day, you three high-rise buildings with key suspicions will not think about opening for business for a day, and I am not in a hurry anyway. ”
After some words, the proprietress waved her hand again and again, and said, "No, no, if my restaurant can't open the door for business again, what will those guys eat at the bottom?"
After taking me to the second floor, the proprietress covered her mouth and nose with her hands, said that she didn't want to go any further, pointed to a room on the side, and said, "That guy lived in that room yesterday, if you want to see it, go in and see it yourself." Before he finished speaking, he left me and ran back downstairs.
I have to say that the smell here is really strong, it is the smell of blood mixed with the smell of rot, and I didn't take a few steps before I felt my stomach tumble over and almost vomited.
Just then, I noticed a row of tulips in the hallway, and the smell of flowers mixed with the smell of blood.
"Boss, what are these flowers for?" I turned to the proprietress downstairs and asked.
"Originally, I was going to use it to drive away the smell, but I didn't expect the smell in that room to be so strong, those pots of tulips didn't work at all, and I was thinking about getting a few more pots today."
The interior of the room was extremely cluttered, with signs of movement on the floor of the wardrobe, bed, and table, as well as some blood stains left on the floor after being wiped.
When I walked to the windowsill and looked down, I was surprised to find that the angle was exactly the same as the angle at which the body of the deceased had fallen on the street.
Thinking of the blood stains left on the floor, it can be inferred that it is likely that the murderer dumped the body here.
But the problem also came, according to the proprietress said, the young man who stayed in this room yesterday had already left this morning, but the time to throw the body was at noon.
Could it be that after the man left, someone else had entered the room, or had the young guy the proprietress had said hadn't left at all?
"Headache, it seems that this investigation is not as easy as I imagined, which is too brain-burning." I pulled my hair a little frantically.
After returning downstairs, I asked the proprietress a few more questions, and said, "Boss, what was wrong with the suspect when he came to stay in the hotel?"
"The anomaly... He was carrying a sack on his back, which was very conspicuous, and when I asked, he said that it contained some floors and quilts for the long journey, and I didn't think much of it for a while. You said...... It can't be Zhang Sheng's corpse, right? ”
Speaking of this, the proprietress was already a little afraid, and she was still muttering to herself that she was going to invite some mage to exorcise the evil spirit and surpass Zhang Sheng's soul.
I smiled helplessly and said, "I said boss, even if Zhang Sheng's ghost really wants to ask for his life, then he should go to find the murderer who killed him, why are you afraid of him?"
The proprietress gave me an angry look and said, "Why am I afraid of him?" Of course, I'm afraid that he will affect my business, my restaurant has always been a hot business, but after this incident, my business is afraid that it will go downhill. ”
I smiled and patted her on the shoulder, and comforted: "Okay, okay, don't worry too much, after this matter is over, I will ask our Jingzhou Mansion Yin to personally mention a few words for your restaurant, and ensure that your business here is more hot than usual."
At the end, he added, "But the premise is that you have to actively cooperate with our investigation."
"Really? Then I will definitely cooperate, I will definitely cooperate! As soon as the proprietress heard this, she immediately blossomed with joy, and she responded again and again.
After leaving the restaurant, I also asked the officers and soldiers here to keep an eye on the place, and then returned to the headquarters and told Tian Lu the clues collected from the three suspicious locations of the restaurant, the spring building, and the Tongyuan antique shop.
