Shopkeeper Yang smiled and said: "Official, when the accident happened, he was not there, and he went to deliver wine, so there should be nothing wrong with him, right?" ”

The catcher was obviously very conscientious: "Where to deliver the wine?" I'm sending someone to find him now, and everyone in your inn will be suspicious. ”

These words suddenly made the whole scene a little chaotic, and at this time, Chen Yuan heard a soft cold snort from behind him: "Hmph! A bunch of rubbish! ”

Chen Yuan quietly turned around and saw that it was a young man of about twenty who spoke, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly in the dark night, but judging from his figure, this person was slender and long.

Chen Yuan considered whether to go out and make it clear. To be honest, there was nothing to do with him, as long as he found Chai Yang quickly, he could prove that he had nothing to do with the murder. If an unrelated thing affects his own reception, Chen Yuan is a little unwilling.

So he squeezed through the crowd: "Let me, please let go!" ”

Seeing someone squeezing in, the two steel knives were pulled out at once: "What person, stop!" ”

Chen Yuan stood in front of the steel knife, and the shopkeeper Yang said busily: "Official, it's him, he is the scholar who wants to do business." ”

The fast catcher immediately waved his hand: "Let him in!" ”

Chen Yuan came over and clasped his fists and saluted: "Xiaosheng Chen Shimei, a person from Junzhou, came to Beijing to catch the exam." ”

The fast catcher glanced at Chen Yuan: "Why do you suddenly want to do business?" ”

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "After coming to Jingshi, I communicated with all the students, and Xiaosheng found that he was only a shallow learner, and he was not sure of being nominated on the list, so he changed his mind. ”

When he was about to say something, he saw the fat man who lived in the hotel suddenly howled and cried: "Lady! Who was so ruthless to kill you like this! ”

His crying made Chen Yuan feel very uncomfortable, and for some reason, Chen Yuan felt as if there was something hidden in his crying.

The fast catcher put down Chen Yuan here and walked to the fat man's side: "People can't be resurrected after death, and the seven products in front of the official palace are fast to catch Zhao Hu, but it is Lord Bao's subordinates who catch fast." Please rest assured that our Lord Bao is like a god in judging the case, and we will definitely give you justice. ”

The crowd suddenly burst into admiration, obviously, after learning that this case would be tried by Bao Zheng, everyone believed that the real murderer would be punished.

In the midst of people's admiration, Chen Yuan heard a very small voice: "Hmph, can Master Bao solve any case?" ”

He didn't need to look at it, he knew that it was the slender man in the crowd just now. This man is too bold to say such a thing here.

Zhao Hu obviously heard it too, his eyes swept around the crowd, and a person next to him pulled Zhao Hu's arm: "Zhao Hu, don't be too troublesome." ”

Zhao Hu retracted his eyes and patted the fat man's shoulder again: "Don't be sad anymore, there are some things we still need to ask clearly, there are many inconveniences to talk here, please follow me to the yamen." ”

After hearing that it was Bao Zheng who was going to try the case, Chen Yuan's heart shook suddenly. Since becoming Chen Shimei, he was afraid to hear the name Bao Zheng.

And there seems to be one more afraid than him. Chen Yuan saw that when Zhao Hu revealed his identity, the fat man's fat body trembled, and tilted his head slightly.

Next to him was the young man who was driving the car.

When Zhao Hu said that when he invited the fat man to go to the Yamen, the fat man wiped away his tears and said, "It should be, it should be." It's just that when my wife goes, I must inform her family that she knows, and if someone is preparing for the funeral at home, can I send a family member back to report the letter? ”

This is reasonable, and Zhao Hu has no reason not to agree: "Of course you can." ”

The fat man pulled the young man who was driving the car next to him: "Yao San, you go back quickly and report to the old lady, pay attention to looking at the old lady when you speak, don't make him too sad." ”

The young man nodded busily: "Sir, don't worry, the villain will take care of it." ”

Zhao Hu waved his hand and said: "You scholars all go to the yamen with me, and this store is temporarily closed until Master Bao says that the store can be reopened." You go to the yamen to ask for a question, as long as it has nothing to do with the case, you can come back immediately. ”

The scholars were in an uproar, they were not afraid to see Bao Zheng, but now that the exam is less than four months away, where can there be a place to live in the nearby inn? Even if there are those big inns, most of the scholars here are poor and can't afford to pay for the house.

Zhao Hu didn't care about this, and beckoned people to put a seal on the door. He is an official errand, as long as he can solve the case, and the accommodation of the scholars is not within the scope of his consideration.

Chen Yuan was even more heartbroken, seeing that the wine shop that was about to arrive was sealed, and when he was thinking about what to do tomorrow, he suddenly found that the moment the young man got into the carriage, the fat man seemed to be relieved.

Chen Yuan immediately didn't think too much, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop!" ”

Many people were frightened by his shout, and Zhao Hu immediately looked back at him.

Chen Yuan ran to Zhao Hu in a few steps: "My lord, was this coachman also in the store when the murder happened?" If he's there, then he can't leave. ”

Chen Yuan's motive for saying this is very simple, the sooner the murder case is solved, the faster his liquor store can open.

Zhao Hu thought about it, what Chen Yuan said was very reasonable, and looked at the fat man at the moment. The fat man looked a little anxious: "My lord, Yao San has been with me for many years, I will never do such a thing, I dare to use my net worth and surname to protect him." ”

Chen Yuan took a deep breath, the more anxious this fat man was, the more it meant that there might be something wrong with this young man. If you can force them to show your feet, wouldn't you have to go to see Bao Zheng? The liquor store doesn't have to be closed?

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan said in an orderly manner: "Everything is possible, my lord, everyone in this restaurant is suspicious, everyone should cooperate with the adults and make sure that they are innocent before leaving." ”

Zhao Hu nodded slightly, and pointed at the young man: "You go to the yamen with me." ”

Of course, Chen Yuan didn't want to go to the yamen to see Bao Zheng, so he immediately said: "My lord, Xiaosheng thinks that it is better to ask some key questions clearly now, so as not to collude with people on the road." ”

Zhao Hu looked Chen Yuan up and down twice, and finally adopted Chen Yuan's opinion and beckoned the young man over: "You, what is the relationship with the person who was killed?" ”

The young man walked slowly, not showing the slightest panic, but when his eyes swept over Chen Yuan's face, he inadvertently revealed a trace of resentment.

Chen Yuan pretended not to see it, and stood silently next to Zhao Hu.

"Villain Yao San, the person who was killed is the mistress of the villain."

"Where were you at the time of the crime?"

"The villain is resting in the guest room and has not gone out."

"Is there a witness?"

The young man looked a little embarrassed: "This, the villain lives alone in a room, and no one can testify for the villain." ”

Zhao Hu thought for a moment: "You go down first." ”

Zhao Hu asked again one by one, of course, he asked very skillfully, all of which were things that could be known to everyone, for example, he asked about the structure of this room, and asked what many people were doing at that time.

For those scholars, if they can find witnesses for each other, most of them don't have to go to Bao Zheng anymore. The same is true of Chen Yuan, who was not there at the time of the crime, and many people can testify.

However, the father and daughter of the shopkeeper Wang, as well as the fat man and the three scholars, they were all in the lobby during the time of the crime, and Zhao Hu asked them in detail, so that they could think about whether they had seen anyone enter the room of the murdered woman.

Several people shook their heads. Zhao Hu was a little embarrassed, and said to himself: "No one entered the room? The windows are also plugged in, so who could it be? ”

When Chen Yuan heard this, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and immediately said: "My lord, Xiaosheng has a guess, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

Zhao Hu smiled: "But it's okay to talk about it." ”

Chen Yuan looked at the fat man and his party, walked back and forth in front of them, and finally asked the fat man: "Why don't you accompany your lady in the room?" ”

The fat man's mouth moved: "I'm delicious, my lady said she wanted to take a bath, so I'll come down and see what food is in the room of this inn." ”

Chen Yuanyi stretched out his hand to signal him not to say any more, and after thinking for a while, he asked Zhao Hu: "My lord, what clothes did the deceased wear when he died?" ”

Zhao Hu said: "Wearing a thin shirt." ”

Chen Yuan nodded slightly and came to the maid: "The girl's name is Xiaolei?" ”

The maid seemed a little cramped, a little frightened, and whispered in a voice that almost no one could hear, "Yes." ”

Chen Yuan slowly turned around, walked in front of Zhao Hu, and then turned back to look at the girl: "Why did you kill someone?" I don't think you're a bad person, there must be a reason, right? ”
