Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Mystery
The death of the smoker is conclusive, and the next step is to dissect the mystery of the drunkard.
On the afternoon of the first day of May, someone witnessed Shen Shanren and a man in a cloak walking into a dead end. After about a meal, the witness saw that Shen Shanren and the man in the cloak were gone, and out of curiosity, he ran into the dead end to look, and found that Shen Shanren had a short knife with a bamboo handle stuck in his chest, and he died of anger.
The drunkard died at the hands of the Happy Gate swordsman, and the catcher here is convinced of this.
Coincidentally, there is no book, and there is a fellow who is the groom of the Mobei Horse Gang, and Feng Qi learned from the mouth of the fellow that the Mobei Horse Gang had transported a batch of refined wine-making equipment for the Shenshan people. Under the guidance of the seven fellow villagers, the wind road brand quickly rushed to the brewing workshop of the Shenshan people.
Du Sanye listed how they discovered the underground corridor, the wine shop, the bamboo building, and the handbook of the Shenshan people.
Feng Dao Pai quickly brought back a few cans of wine from the Shenshan people's cellar and chilled them in the morgue. The old knife was taken and lined up in front of the crowd.
The names of the sake are written on the jars: "Loneliness", "Pain", "Remorse", "Lovesickness", "Reunion", "Carefree", etc.
Everyone looked at each other.
What is loneliness? The lonely sycamore lock is late autumn, and the drunken people are scattered and leaning on the railing.
What is pain? The moon wakes up from a dream, a jade zither and a tear bomb.
And what about remorse? What about Acacia? What about reunion? Worry-free?
Can carefree wine really make people forget all the loneliness, pain, remorse, lovesickness and reunion?
These wine names, which have been endowed with human emotions by the people of Shenshan, are like a huge stone, thrown into the lake of everyone's hearts, stirring up layers of ripples.
The one who has the most say in the carefree wine is the sea dress, and she is the only one in the room who has tasted it.
The time went back to three o'clock in the afternoon on the first day of the fifth month.
Haisheng, who patrolled with Yundao brand catch, met Shen Shanren who sold wine in Jiuchi, and quietly entered Jiuchi behind Shen Shanren. Haisheng went on patrol for the first time, Shen Shanren hit her here, and the two had an argument, and then heard the head catcher say that Shen Shanren was suspicious, so she stared at Shen Shanren.
Shen Shanren saw that the lobby was full of drinkers, and he sold his carefree wine, which caused the hall to laugh.
During the banquet, Shen Shanren clashed with the young master of Jiangbei Baozi Yinzhuang. Shaozhuang wanted to exchange one hundred taels of silver for the wine of the Shen Shanren, but the Shen Shanren refused, and the Shen Shanren stated that this wine was equivalent to water, and it was sold to people who had gone through ups and downs to drink, and only those who had gone through ups and downs drank this wine would forget all the unhappy things in the world. Shen Shanren humiliated the young owner of the village for being young and illiterate, and the young owner was angry and angry, and took advantage of the sneak attack to get the wine, and after tasting it, he said that it was a unique wine in the world.
Seeing that the young owner of the village said that Shen Shanren's wine was amazing, the wine pool guy couldn't help but be tempted, and asked Shen Shanren for a small half bowl of wine, and praised it after drinking. Shen Shanren didn't believe it, and gave it to the drinkers present, but they didn't expect that the drinkers would say that it was good wine after drinking. Shen Shanren was hysterical, saying that everyone collaborated to deceive him, and broke the wine jar in a fit of anger. Taking advantage of the chaos, Haishang picked up a piece of porcelain on the ground, and there was wine on it, and she took a little of it in her mouth, as light as water, without a sense of wine.
Haishang recounted to everyone what she saw and heard in the wine pool, and she still can't figure out why the people of Shenshan sell water as wine, and she still calls it "carefree"; I can't figure out that the young owner of the village drank it, and it was obviously water, but it was wine. At that time, she looked around and saw that the young owner of the treasure brand and the guy in the wine pool had unfathomable expressions, and she deeply felt that they had bad intentions.
"Carefree", "Lonely", "Pain", "Regret", "Lovesickness", "Reunion" are close at hand, Cang'er invites everyone to come and taste the carefree wine first.
The crowd quickly tasted the wine in turn and gave a unanimous answer: "Water!" ”
Du Sanye stood up and said, "We found a manual in a bamboo building next to the Shenshanren Wine Kiln, which not only contains the recipes of various wines, but also records in detail some of the illnesses and whimsical ideas that happened to him. Shen Shan, in order to resolve the pain of the body, whimsically wants to brew a kind of wine that makes people forget the pain and have no worries. He got two kinds of rare medicinal materials: the 'Forget Worry Flower' rooted in the high mountains of western Sichuan all year round, and the 'Sorrow Relief Grass' that grows in the deep cold polar region of Mobei. It is said that forgetting worries can make people forget the life and death, joys and sorrows of the world; The sorrow-relieving flower can relieve the thousands of sorrows and knots of all living beings. In order to make good wine, he carefully selected wooden barrels for soaking raw materials, stone mills for crushing drugs, iron pots for distilling wine, wine tanks for aging and storage, and even entrusted the Mobei Horse Gang to transport water from the world's most famous Jiulong Pond. ”
Du Sanye took a sip of flower tea and continued: "Shen Shanren's manual mentions the brewing process. From material selection to soaking, from fermentation to filtration, every process is perfect, every link is seamless, and all the details are soaked in his painstaking efforts......"
Du Sanye told the story, and the picture of Shenshan people's winemaking reappeared in front of everyone's eyes:
After countless trials and countless days of suffering. The hard work paid off, and finally on a sunny noon, Shen Shanren saw the crystal clear, condensed green wine flowing out of the steaming barrel.
He almost held the wine in his trembling hands, and wept with joy: "This is the wine I want to make!" This is the carefree wine I make! ”
Shen Shanren, who was in tears, trembled and trembled and walked out of the door holding this wine, the sun was shining outside the door, and the wine in his palm was exceptionally clear. Suddenly, Shen Shanren felt that something was wrong, and there was something missing in the wine: a mellow aroma. He sucked it nervously, it was cool and sweet, and what he sipped in was water! Ordinary water that can't be more ordinary, ordinary water that can't be more ordinary.
Water, to quench thirst, how can people be carefree? Hope turned into a bubble in a blink of an eye, and Shen Shanren cried.
Was it God's trick on him? Or retribution in the dark? There is his love, his remorse, his bitterness, and his hope. He thought of selling wine, this kind of wine called water. He wants to sell wine to all living beings, so that all the people of the world can chew on his pain and taste his life......
After Du Sanye finished speaking, the picture of Shen Shanren making wine disappeared, and was replaced by a group of people with heavy expressions.
"The best wine in the world is none other than Chang'an Wine Pool, and of course you have to sell wine to Wine Pool." Bian Dan broke the silence, "What is puzzling is: Shen Shanren is a drunkard of the Flying Money Gang, an important member of the money laundering and swallowing stolen money, how can he be like a person who has suffered a lot?"
Cang Er took over the conversation: "On the afternoon of the first day of the fifth month, the third master, the sea dress, the killer, the victim, and the drinkers of all shapes and shapes gathered in the wine pool, which is indeed lively, and the third master might as well talk about your judgment." ”
"The drunkard has a very important identity, he is the old shopkeeper of the wine pool." Du Sanye got straight to the point, "Everyone should have heard the story of Jiuchi fighting wine, the old shopkeeper of Jiuchi fought against three, and finally lost to three people who joined forces to challenge him by half a glass. Guess who the challenger is?" Du Sanye deliberately sold a pass.
Bian Dan grabbed it and replied: "Don't hide it from the brothers, Lao Du is one of the fat, and the pole is one of the tallest, I, hehe, one of them is thin." ”
The crowd was stunned when they heard this, "fat as a bucket, as long as a bamboo pole, and thin as a burden", thinking of the body shape and name of the servant, and sure enough, the name was like his person, and they clapped their hands and applauded.
"Three heads have a good amount of wine!" There is a quick catch.
"The third master is easy and his kung fu is also first-class!" Haishang couldn't help but say. She was blocked in the wine pool, and it was the third master who helped her get out of trouble.
Du Sanye laughed: "With this relationship, no matter how much the drunkard's voice and smile change, he can't escape the eyes of our old Du." ”
On that day, Du Sanye suspected that Shen Shanren was a drunkard, so he dressed up as a drunkard and placed himself in the wine pool, and it happened that Haishang followed Shen Shanren to the wine pool. Even more surprisingly, a man in a black cloak appeared in the wine pool at the same time. Du Sanye and Haishang heard the conversation between the man in the cloak and Shen Shanren from beginning to end, and saw that Shen Shanren was in danger, Du Sanye and Haishang both wanted to save his life. At a critical juncture, Du Sanye and Haishang were on the road, and they almost couldn't get out of the wine pool. When the two of them got out, Shen Shan's life was dead.
"Shen Shanren is obviously selling water, but the young master of Baozi Yinzhuang, the wine pool guys, and a group of drinkers deceive Shen Shanren is wine, it is obvious that these people want to destroy Shen Shanren's will and make him die." Du Sanye concluded, "It shows that if you fight alone, the killer may not be the opponent of Shen Shanren." ”
The heart is dead, only seeking liberation, so the dead-end murder scene does not leave a trace of struggle. Du Sanye's words are not unreasonable.
"So many people want drunkards to die, are they all from the Killer Alliance?" Cang'er threw out a question.
The answer is yes, and everyone here has once again reached a consensus.
