Chapter 63 shows the murderer at a glance

"Shop...... Did you sleep in the store? If you haven't slept, open the door. ”

Outside the hotel, a young man with a torch knocked on the door and shouted.

Chen Tang wrapped himself in the quilt, got up and opened the door.

The young man didn't report his hopes, he just wanted to try his luck, but he didn't expect to really open the door and was overjoyed, and he was grateful: "Thank you store, thank you store." ”

Under the light of the fire, Chen Tang saw the face of the person who came, and this person happened to know him, wasn't it Du Xun who was in the same beacon tower with him and was in charge of watching......

Seeing acquaintances, Chen Tang was in a good mood and said, "Are you returning to your hometown or where are you going?" Why are you still wandering outside so late, and you are not afraid that the officials will arrest you? ”

Du Xun felt quite familiar when he heard the voice, and quickly raised his head to see that it was Chen Tang, he was a little surprised, and said in surprise: "It's you, why am I a little familiar with this voice?" ”

Chen Tang said casually: "Well, I just need to take a boat back home, so I stayed here." ”

Du Xun walked in, closed the door with his backhand, inserted the torch into the wooden clip, rubbed his hands together to feel warmer, and said, "I thought you were leaving with Taishou." ”

Then he said his own experience: "I was miserable, I applied for that road guide for several days, and finally the road guide passed, and I still need the county's road guide to get on the boat, so I had no choice but to return to the county office: I bought a road guide, spent all my savings, and even gave him the horse, but I didn't expect to miss the journey when I came back." ”

Chen Tang shook his head and sighed: "I have also heard that this county has this regulation, but I didn't expect ordinary people to have so much money, how can ordinary people afford to sit on this boat." ”

"Don't talk about these bad things." Thinking of this, Du Xun was unhappy, so he changed the topic and said: "Brother Chen, why are you here to open the door, what about the store in this store, I am almost starving to death, and I want him to get me some food." ”

Chen Tang turned around and returned to his bed and said, "The store has already rested, and if you want to eat, go to the back kitchen to see if there are any leftovers, and just make do with some food." ”

Du Xun suddenly realized, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Chen still has a place, our old Du Ke will be miserable, don't talk about this, I'll go to the back kitchen first, I haven't eaten for a day." ”

Du Xun came to the middle courtyard with an oil lamp, only to see a figure running past him, and the man was startled when he saw Du Xun, and something fell in his hand.

Du Xun didn't care and walked over directly, but his foot stepped on a soft thing, Du Xun looked down with an oil lamp, and found a corpse lying on the ground, and he stepped on his palm.

"Stand ......"

Du Xun shouted and chased after him, ran to the corner of the guest room corridor, and suddenly tripped over something, so he almost fell to the ground, Du Xun scolded secretly, and took a closer look, only to see two corpses lying in the corridor.

"Dead man...... Dead man......"

Three people died in a row, Du Xun couldn't help but be a little surprised, he didn't expect to go to a meal, and he could encounter this kind of thing, shouting loudly.

Chen Tang heard Du Xun's shout, wrapped himself in the quilt, took off the torch and climbed up the stairs, Du Xun greeted him with an oil lamp, and explained: "I was about to go to the back kitchen just now, and when I came to the middle courtyard, I found a figure running in front of me, and then I found a corpse in front, and I chased after it, and found two more corpses." ”

Chen Tang gasped, these merchants were really cruel, how long did it take for three to be killed, so he stepped forward to check the corpses, lost his mind slightly, and asked, "You said there are two corpses here?" ”

"Not really."

Because Chen Tang blocked Du Xun's view in front, Du Xun didn't notice that there was only a corpse left at the corner of the corridor at this time.

Chen Tang turned his body sideways, Du Xun saw the scene in front of him, and said incredulously: "How is it possible, I saw two corpses just now, why is one missing?" ”

"Maybe when you turned around to pick me up, he had already slipped away in the night." Chen Tang asked, "Can you see the faces of the two people at that time?" ”

Du Xun shook his head and said, "Who will look at this bad thing?" I didn't know anything other than knowing that they were men. ”

Chen Tang thought about it, so he didn't ask him again, but observed the dead body, the deceased was about forty years old, slightly shorter, a little fat, and there were blood stains on his chest, which should have been stabbed by someone and killed fatally.

Standing aside, he asked curiously: "What's going on with this hostel, I've been shouting for a long time, why hasn't half a figure appeared." ”

Chen Tang explained: "Because this hostel has an unwritten rule that no matter what happens in the middle of the night, they will not make a sound, unless it is they who want to kill themselves. ”

"It's been a long time, this shouldn't be a black shop, the kind of thief shouting to catch a thief." Du Xun smacked his tongue and said: "Since this is the case, let's leave it alone, in case the lawsuit is brought to ourselves, it will be over." ”

"It's happening right in front of my eyes, and I have to take care of it." Chen Tang shook his head and said: "If you don't care about me, wouldn't it be so that the innocent victim will die blindly, and the murderer will get away with it." ”

"That'...... All right! Du Xun said helplessly: "Then what should we do now?" ”

Chen Tang said: "You immediately gather all the customers in the hostel, I want to investigate them one by one, if they don't cooperate, I know what you will do." ”

Du Xun smiled, clenched his hands into fists, patted his chest, and said nonchalantly: "As for these businessmen, it's not easy for me to clean up, you just look at my means." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and kicked open the door, dragged the merchant inside out, and threw him at Chen Tang's feet.

After a while, dozens of businessmen were all thrown out by Du Xun, and a few Shunzhi still had a few slap marks on their faces, and they were extremely uncooperative.

The merchant had a look of anger on his face, and he only hated his guards for guarding the goods in the backyard, and he couldn't leave without permission, otherwise he would have wanted to take the guards to dismantle Du Xun and Chen Tang into eight pieces and five horses.

If Chen Tang knew their thoughts, he would definitely feel very innocent, obviously he didn't do anything, but he wanted to be dismantled by them, how innocent he looked.

Chen Tang sat on it, Du Xun stood on Chen Tang's side, and the merchants knelt on the ground, looking depressed, as if the tree had been hit hard.

"I didn't expect you to be black and chubby, but you are so fierce when you start, you don't blink your eyes, you get rid of two, it's really the old rivers and lakes!" Chen Tang sat there and said to himself: "It's just that your killing methods are too simple, the third one on the left is you, and you are still stretching out your head to look left and right...... Don't look at it...... I'm talking about you......"
