Chapter 31: Splendid Inn

PS: Originally, this chapter was going to write about the death of Gongsun Yang, and then some people were involved, including the protagonist, but now my thoughts are so chaotic, my brain hurts, and I drink! The author is here to self-review, so I have to continue to update it tomorrow!

……

In the end, Hongshang had red eyes, and followed Lu Hongsleeve and Hu Buxiu to say goodbye to Ye Heng.

Ye Heng personally sent the red dress into an inn only two streets away from the Splendid Inn, and then went to the Splendid Inn with Luo Ying.

As I saw in the morning, the Splendid Inn had been protected by many yamen at this time, and there were still a few officials standing guard at the door, Ye Heng and Luo Ying each stepped forward to identify themselves, and then they were able to enter the inn.

followed the servant to the inn, and heard someone roaring inside from a distance: "Hmph! In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, this official doesn't believe in any ghosts! ”

Ye Heng and Luo Ying walked to the door, and saw a cadre of officials inside facing two people submissively, one of them was teaching them something, seeing Ye Heng and Luo Ying coming, the man frowned and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Luo Ying stepped forward and then reported his identity.

"Humph!" That person looked less than forty years old, and he looked dignified, but it was Yan Shu, the chief examiner of the Jiangning Township Examination this time! Next to him is the prefect of Jiangning who is wearing an official robe, Zhang Shixun!

It can be seen that Yan Shu is angry now, so his attitude is not very good, he glanced at Luo Ying and said, "Since it is a pusher sent by Changzhou, why is he late?" ”

Luo Ying didn't know what to say, so she asked Ye Heng for help. Ye Heng stepped forward at this time, saluted Yan Shu, and then said: "Lord Hui, the two of us arrived at the inspection yamen in the morning, and later arrived at this splendid inn, but we were blocked from the door at that time......

"Oh?"

Yan Shu glanced at Ye Heng and asked, "Why don't you two wait at the inspection yamen, but run around?" ”

"What do you mean by your lordship, do you want the kid to wait in vain?" Ye Heng smiled and said, "It's useless to wait in vain, this time the two of us are going to Jiangning to investigate the case, instead of wasting time, it is better to walk around, maybe we can get a clue!" ”

"Tell me, then, what clues did you get?"

Yan Shu was a little angry, this little guy was not nervous at all in the face of himself, looking at Luo Ying, who was older than him over there, he couldn't speak, he looked like he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he could still talk eloquently, and he kept saying that it was a waste of time to let him wait in the inspection yamen!

Hmph, if you can't give a reason today, you have to teach this little guy a good lesson!

In fact, how did Yan Shu know that the reason why Luo Ying was getting more and more nervous was because he knew that Ye Heng was simply talking nonsense! He has been in Miaoyu Building with Ye Heng all day today, where did he find any clues?

So Luo Ying was very worried, and kept looking at Ye Heng.

Ye Heng said to Yan Shu: "The time is too short, and there is not much information that can be obtained, but ...... The kid can conclude that this is not a ghost at all, but murder! ”

"Huh?"

Yan Shu, who was about to go crazy, heard Ye Heng's words, but his face changed instantly.

Zhang Shixun next to him stood up, looked at Ye Heng and said, "Okay! In the past few days, you are the first to dare to conclude that this case is a murder case, you can tell me quickly, but what clues have you found? ”

Hearing Zhang Shixun's words, Ye Heng was speechless for a while, his feelings have been tossed for several days, these people don't even have any clues, no wonder Yan Shu had such a big temper just now!

In fact, where does Ye Heng have clues? What he has is just the file he took from Chen Yuqing, and the information on the file is very small, just to explain the situation of the deceased, and even the deceased's family history has not been investigated clearly!

However, when Ye Heng first entered the door, he heard Yan Shu scolding ghosts and other things repeatedly, so he followed Yan Shu and said: "The kid knows very few clues, and I haven't even seen the body of the deceased, but from the file distributed to Changzhou by the adult, the kid found a suspicious point, that is, the deceased did not die of poisoning, why can't he find a wound on his body?" It wasn't until later that the kid found that the autopsy report was written in detail, which recorded the deceased's posthumous situation in detail, that he knew that the deceased died of suffocation! ”

"Suffocation?"

Hearing Ye Heng's words, everyone present became strange.

A magistrate in his thirties stood up and asked, "My lord, you said that the deceased who died in the secret room a few days ago died of suffocation and murder, but I have seen the corpse with my own eyes and found that the deceased's mouth and nose are not abnormal, how can this be explained?" ”

"It's easy!"

Ye Heng said to the man: "Regarding how the murderer killed the deceased, the kid will naturally explain it to everyone. But what makes the kid wonder is that I don't know what happened in this splendid inn today? ”

"How do you know that something happened again in the Splendid Inn today?"

Yan Shu glanced at Ye Heng and only felt a little strange when he heard Ye Heng say that he could prove the murderer's means of killing.

Ye Heng replied: "It's very simple! Today, when Brother Luo and I went to inspect the yamen, we saw that all the magistrates were there, but the two adults came to this splendid inn temporarily, so the students speculated that there was another murder here, and the two adults could rush here, but I am afraid that this murder is not simple! ”

Zhang Shixun's eyes lit up, and he asked Ye Heng, "Did you guess these?" ”

Ye Heng nodded in response,

At this time, no one doubted Ye Heng anymore, because Ye Heng had indeed guessed correctly!

"Humph!" Referring to this matter, Yan Shu was obviously very dissatisfied, he frowned and said: "This official specially sent thirty officials to take turns guarding this splendid inn day and night, but he didn't want to be able to kill him, early this morning, in the river behind the inn, another floating corpse appeared, and the deceased was also a student who came to participate in the township test!" ”

Speaking of students, Yan Shu seemed to suddenly remember something, and then he looked at Ye Heng and asked, "You ...... just now Claiming to be a student? ”

Ye Heng also forgot about it, after he came in, he was busy dealing with Yan Shu and Zhang Shixun's questions in turn, and he didn't have time to introduce himself yet! So Ye Heng saluted Yan Shu and Zhang Shixun, and then said: "Two adults, student Ye Heng, ancestral home Changzhou ......"

"You are Ye Heng?"

Hearing Ye Heng's self-introduction, Yan Shu asked strangely!
