Lu Jinping didn't want to fake his hands on him, so he could only ask the key by asking himself, so he walked around the house. This brewery is not large, and there is a hall outside, which is for drinkers to drink. There are several couches around a coffee table for diners to chat while drinking. There are two wings on the left and right, and the doors are open. When I looked over, I saw that on the left side was the boudoir of the widow, which had a leisurely rouge smell; On the right is the warehouse where wine is stocked, and there are several large urns of wine inside. The smell of wine wafts through. There is a door in the hall, and when you push it open, there is a backyard, surrounded by a wall.

Lu Jinping turned back to Widow Chang and said, "Where did you first see the corpse?" What does it look like? ”

The widow got up quickly, and Xiao Xiao stepped into her bedroom, came to the bedside, pointed to the floor near the head of the bed, and said, "Then here, lying face down." It was Liu Lao Er who first found out, he called me, I thought he was drunk, but I didn't expect to be dead, scared me to death. Just because he died in my winery, my business was greatly affected, and many people were afraid that they would not come. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhou Yuanwai with resentment and said: "Master Zhou, you have to make the decision for me, just because your son-in-law died in me, my business has plummeted, and no one has come, and I still count on this winery to support myself!" What now? ”

Zhou Yuanwai snorted, turned his head and didn't look at her.

Lu Jinping continued: "You tell me in detail what happened that night. ”

Widow Chang agreed, and a pair of phoenix eyes looked at Lu Jinping with affection, and secretly sent Qiu Bo, saying, "I don't know what to call this son?" ”

Zhou Yuanwai on the side said proudly: "This is the male lord Lu of Kaiguo County, the same state capital, and also a doctor of Yamen, and a guest of honor of this master, I heard that this master's son-in-law was murdered and died in you, and Lu Jue is righteous to catch the real murderer for this master and avenge my son-in-law." ”

When the widow heard this, her face smiled like a flower, and she twisted her body, the two plump and snow-white twin peaks trembled, and she looked at Lu Jinping and said: "It turned out to be a lord, oops, the slave family is rude, the slave family has never seen a lord since childhood, it is really a blessing for three lives, and there is green smoke on the ancestral grave......

Lu Jinping waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's investigate the case and ask you what you want to answer, don't say anything else." ”

Seeing that Lu Jinping didn't eat her set, the widow was a little stupid, lowered her head and agreed, but still secretly sent a pair of phoenix eyes towards Lu Jinping from time to time.

Lu Jinping said: "What I said just now, let you tell me what happened, you can say it now." ”

Widow Chen smiled, stroked her hair, and said, "That day, when Pang Yan came, it was already evening, and he used to come to my place to drink, sometimes from noon until the next day. He drank so much that he wouldn't get drunk even with a jar. But that day, he didn't seem to be in a good mood, so he drank quietly and drank quickly, cup after cup, and he didn't listen to my advice. So, by the end of the night, he was almost drunk. By that time, the other drinkers had already gone home, and he was the only one left. I said that he would not do anything when I sent him back, but that I would continue to drink. At this time, Liu Lao Er came, and he said that he was also looking for someone to drink, so the three of us played with dice while drinking, but almost all of them were me playing with Liu Lao Er's house, Pang Yan seemed to have a lot on his mind, and he kept drinking one cup after another. He drank most of the jar of wine I took out. ”

Lu Jinping glanced at the wine jar placed at his feet, it was estimated that there were ten catties, and one person drank nearly ten catties of liquor, even if it was a relatively low degree of liquor in ancient times, it was enough. Wu Song Jingyanggang fought the tiger, and even drank eighteen bowls, and the total was not more than ten catties.

Lu Jinping asked: "You said that he seems to be full of worries, so did you ask him what the hell is going on?" ”

Widow Chang shook her head and said, "I asked him not to say, just to drink, but I can see that he is very unhappy, no matter how I tease him, he just laughs, and does not talk much, so I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd." ”

"And then, you say?"

"On the fourth watch, I saw that he was really drunk, so I said not to drink it, and helped him to go home, but he said that he would not go back, and he would sleep with me today. I said no, I've never had a man stay overnight, I open my door to do business, but I'm doing a clean business, not that kind of slut. I'm not going to keep a man with me for the night, I'm going to send him back anyway. But he refused to leave. He was too fat, and Liu Lao Er and I also drank a lot of wine, so I couldn't lift him. So Liu Lao Er said, otherwise, put him on my bed and let him sleep there, I will sleep in the wine cellar, and the cellar also has a latch that can be latched from the inside. Liu Lao Er said that he slept in the hall outside, and if he was here, no one would chew the root of his tongue in the future. I thought that this was the only way, so the two of us dragged him to my bed in the back room, and then, I took another quilt and went to sleep in the wine shop, and Liu Lao Er slept on the couch in the hall. ”

Lu Jinping said: "This arrangement is not suitable, why don't you let him sleep in the hall of the wine shop with Liu Laoer, and then you can sleep alone in the house, you can also latch the door, so that the two men can sleep outside, and you can prove your innocence." ”

Widow Chang smiled a little embarrassed and said, "The lord is really thoughtful, I have a pig's head, I haven't read a book, so I can't think of it so thoroughly." At that time, I just thought that he was Zhou Yuanwai's son-in-law, a rich and noble family, how could he sleep on the ground? Definitely going to sleep in bed. ”

Hearing this, a smug smile appeared on Zhou Yuanwai's face again.

Lu Jinping continued: "What happened later? You go on to say. ”

The widow said: "When I slept until dawn, I heard someone knocking on the door, which startled me. Liu Lao Er said that it was him, and asked me to get up quickly to take a look, Pang Yan was wrong, and he seemed to be out of breath. I was startled and quickly got up and opened the door. Liu Lao Er said that when he woke up, he found that it was almost dawn, so he was going to call Pang Yan home. After all, when I go out early in the morning, it is not good to meet people to see it, and it is best to leave before the day is completely light. Pang Yan slept in my room The door was not closed, and when he went in, he saw Pang Yan lying on the ground at the head of the bed, lying on his stomach, motionless, he snorted as if he was out of breath, and hurriedly came to call me. When I heard this, I was frightened, so I hurried to see it, and sure enough, I was out of breath. Both of us were frightened, he went to call Lang Zhong, and I went to Master Zhou's house to report. And they all came, and that was it. ”

"What time was that?"

"It's about the beginning of the day."

"Judging from what you just said, the last time you saw him was on the fourth watch, and you found him dead at the beginning of the dawn, with more than an hour in between, right?"

"yes, that's right."

"Is the door to the brewery closed?"

"Of course the door has to be closed."

Lu Jinping walked to the door and checked the latch, which showed no signs of damage. I checked that the windows of the hall were also intact, and it seemed that this widow, although she was still in the business of selling jokes, was still more concerned about her reputation, and the doors and windows were very tight.

He went into the widow's bedroom again, and several of the windows were open, but they were all intact, and he turned back to the widow and said, "Has this window been opened that day?" ”

"In the past, when I slept in the bedroom, I had to check the doors and windows and close them, but as you know, although I sell alcohol, my boudoir doesn't want so much alcohol, so I always open the windows before I go to bed to let the smell of alcohol drift out, and then close the doors and windows before going to bed. When I slept, I would check the bottom of the bed, and I would check all the places, and some unscrupulous villains, who wanted to beat the old lady, would hide in these places, and I found them several times, and drove them away with sticks. That night, because Pang Yan slept in my bedroom, I opened the window and forgot to close it. ”

Lu Jinping walked to the open window and looked, outside this window was the backyard of the wine shop, and there was a brick wall more than one person high, so it was relatively safe, unless someone climbed over the wall to enter.

He looked carefully on the windowsill and found nothing. This window is not high, you can directly turn in and out, and it has been several days, even if there are any traces left, I am afraid that it will be destroyed.
