Chapter Ninety-Eight, Only One Table Is Poisonous
Shen Mu was really stunned by this old man all of a sudden.
Because he didn't know how to take this sentence down.
Didn't the old man find it contradictory that he said that?
I don't believe that Li Xiaoyou is the murderer, and I don't believe that the county lord Rongzhi will misjudge the case.
Although they are all extremely subjective judgments, from another aspect, even if this case was quite sensational at the time, there were really no particularly outstanding clues, so that he could find the suspect as soon as he asked.
If this Fuyunlou is a high-end restaurant, and the booming business blocks the way of other business competitors, making people jealous, making a stumbling block, and making a poisoning incident, Li Xiaoyou is just a scapegoat, but it is also said in the past.
But in fact, Fuyunlou is not much bigger than a small restaurant, and it also makes ordinary food, and the typical feature is that it is full and full.
As a result, it has no ability to stand in the way of others at all.
It is not at the same level as the needs of those high-end restaurant consumers.
And a restaurant or restaurant of the same grade, there is no need to spend a few lives to trick people.
Therefore, this restaurant poisoning case cannot be done by some commercial improper competitor.
So what exactly is the murderer's motive for killing?
Think about it again, if someone dies in a restaurant, it is natural that the person who opened the restaurant will suffer, and it is the revenge caused by the personal grudge of the restaurant shopkeeper.
Li Xiaoyou is purely unlucky?
Thinking of this, he pulled the old man again and said: "Please ask the old man again, this shopkeeper of the Fortune Building is also kind to my cousin, how can my cousin take revenge, is this shopkeeper offended someone?" will be retaliated against. ”
"The flower shopkeeper of Fuyun Building, he is still very good at doing business, and he pays attention to harmony and wealth on weekdays.
Before the accident in Fuyun Building, but the restaurant that has been open on this street for more than ten years has never blushed with the surrounding neighbors, and he has given the leftover meals every day to the little beggars wandering around on the street.
He has always been a very good person, how can he offend anyone, anyway, I don't believe the old man. ”
Yes, this motive for poisoning was ruled out again, but he still felt that it was necessary to find this flower shopkeeper to understand the situation back then, so he spoke again: "Does the old man know where the flower shopkeeper lives now?" ”
"Flower shopkeeper? During the Dragon Boat Festival this year, the old man also saw him, and I heard that he now opened a small shop in Tongzhou, but Tongzhou is so big, where is it, I don't know the old man. ”
Shen Mu frowned when he heard this. If he really wants to find the flower shopkeeper, from Jixi County to Tongzhou, between coming and going, I don't know how many days it will take, how can Liang Baihu let him spend his time on the road?
"However, about Xiao You's case, after the shopkeeper sold the restaurant, he was drunk in my tavern, and it seemed to be said at the time that the reason why the government identified Xiao You as the murderer of poisoning was because when cooking that day, it was originally a big pot of dishes, and there were three tables with the same dishes at the same time.
However, only Xiao You sent the food to the three foreign merchants that was poisonous, and the other two tables of food were not poisonous, and the guests at the two tables were safe and sound after eating.
The same meal is poisonous on one table, but not on two tables.
The people in the government suspect that Xiao You is the murderer of poisoning!
So why didn't the people in the government suspect that one of the three merchants had poisoned them?
Shen Mu felt that this possibility could not be ruled out!
"This, where does the old man know this, it's all what the government says, what everyone says!
Besides, how can anyone poison himself to death? ”
The old man muttered quietly. And look at him with the eyes of an idiot.
Shen Muxin said: In his previous life, he had never seen any kind of case, and there were even more bizarre ones, poisoning himself or his accomplices, this kind of behavior. It's all a small case!
Now it seems that he should carefully check the identities of the three dead back then.
and the relationship and social background of the three deceased, to see if new clues can be found.
"If you still think of any useful information, you can come to the post house to find the boy."
Shen Mu stretched out his hand and took out two pieces of broken silver from his arms and handed them to the old man.
"The inn?" The old man was a little surprised when he heard this, and then glanced at Shen Mu cautiously, and then touched the two pieces of broken silver in his hand.
Then he asked with some uncertainty, "Is Childe really Xiaoyou's cousin?" ”
"What? Don't you believe it? Shen Mu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"It can be seen from the old man's point of view that the face of the son is much smaller than that."
Shen Mu was sweating profusely when he heard this, how could he forget this loophole?
Thinking that he was only fifteen years old this year, Li Xiaoyou was already twenty-two years old when he died.
He actually said that Xiao You was his cousin, which was really a low-level mistake.
But his psychological quality is so strong, he didn't change his color and continued: "The kid is really that little cousin, but the kid has been tender since he was a child!"
It doesn't matter, but the important thing is that you remember, sir, if you can tell me something about my cousin that you didn't say before, or hear from someone else.
If the kid thinks that the news is very useful, he will naturally not treat you badly. ”
"Well, the old man will believe in the son once." The old man looked at the two pieces of broken silver in his hand again and said, with such a way to make money, how could he not agree.
This son's face is really young, he must have been born in a rich family, and he has not suffered anything since he was a child.
If you can really inquire more, Xiao You, back then, the murder thing, maybe you can really get a few more pieces of silver.
After separating from the old man. Shen Mu circled around the coffin again. Still nothing suspicious has been found.
During this period, he also asked some of the surrounding people who were basking in the sun.
There is no useful information to be gained from these populations.
Many people only know a little about the poisoning and murder case in Fuyunlou three years ago, and the specific situation is not clear.
Just when he didn't have much to gain, he was about to return to the post house along Chengdong Street.
He heard someone shouting to him overhead.
"Brother, brother, can you go upstairs for a get-together?"
When he looked up, he found that thirty meters diagonally across the street there was a large restaurant.
This restaurant, from the outside, looks luxurious and beautiful.
At this time, there was a room on the second floor with the window open.
From that window, a human head emerged.
He took a closer look, wasn't this the seventh son of Hu?
It's just that at this time, he never thought that he would find clues about the poisoning and murder case of Fuyunlou from Hu Qigongzi!
