41. The Secret Room Case

A middle-aged man and a beautiful boy sat relatively silently in the guest room.

I haven't started my errand yet, but I ran into a murder again, could it be that I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out this time, and the year was unfavorable?

There was a knock at the door, and the guy brought tea.

The middle-aged man rewarded Xiao Er with a few dollars and asked, "What happened to the inn?" ”

Xiao Er got the reward and said enthusiastically: "It's Mr. Shang, who lives next door to you, who was found dead in the house this morning." The face is blue, and the seven orifices are bleeding, so scary! If something like this happens, I'm afraid that the inn's business will be affected next! ”

The two of them only arrived in Lanfeng County at noon yesterday and stayed in this inn, and they did not see the guests in the next room.

Out of professional sensitivity, the middle-aged man asked, "Who is Mr. Shang?" ”

The guy knew everything: "Mr. Shang is a scoundrel in our Lanfeng County, who is idle all day long, relying on pits and abductions, and helping people to make a living. He has a wife, who is a little beautiful, and he hooks up with people every day, and the two of them are not serious people. Early yesterday morning, Mr. Shang didn't know what kind of wind he was smoking, so he actually came to our inn to open an upper room and lived in, and he didn't even go to see the excitement of Lord Zhao's trial of pickles in the morning. Until this morning, our shopkeeper felt strange and asked Xiao Si to knock on Mr. Shang's door, but the door was locked from the inside, and there was no movement no matter how he knocked inside. The shopkeeper pried open the door and went in to see, good guy, Mr. Shang himself was already dead on the bed, bleeding from the seven orifices, so scary, so scary! I'm going to have nightmares tonight! If I had known, I shouldn't have been curious to go in and take a look! ”

The middle-aged man pointed to the right and said, "In the room over there?" ”

The guy said: "Isn't it the room next to you, Lord Zhao is taking the room for inspection at this moment." Later, everyone in the store will be summoned and asked one by one. Although our Lord Zhao has a backlog of unsolved cases, he still has the ability. Yesterday morning, I interrogated the pickles and found out the real culprit who killed Lu Fugui, and returned Han's innocence. If it weren't for Lord Zhao's wisdom, wouldn't he have wronged a good person. Han's delicate little woman was almost wrongfully accused of murdering her husband. ”

The middle-aged man inquired in detail about the causes and consequences of Lord Zhao's interrogation of pickles, and the guy knew everything, and added oil and vinegar to praise Lord Zhao as a knowledgeable and knowledgeable talent.

"Lord Zhao also reminded us that in the future, pickled vegetables should not be eaten indiscriminately, and they must be pickled enough for thirty-seven twenty-one days before they can be eaten, otherwise they may be the same as Lu Fugui, such a big family business, such a beautiful daughter-in-law, and they will not be blessed." The guy sighed.

The middle-aged man said to the beautiful boy: "Regarding the pickles pickled for too short a time will be poisoned, I have also encountered before, an old woman, ate too many pickles, almost died, suspected that the daughter-in-law poisoned, and later I checked and thought that the problem was the pickles." However, I didn't find out how long pickles are poisonous, but this Lord Zhao is a bit interesting. ”

The beautiful boy said: "Don't you say that I don't know yet, it turns out that eating pickles is still so particular, and if you don't pay attention, you may be poisoned!" ”

The middle-aged man said to the guy: "Can we take us to the scene of the crime to see, our uncle and nephew have some insight when they go south, and they may be able to help somewhat." ”

The guy scratched his head and said, "This ...... Lord Zhao and Master Dianshi had instructed everyone in the store to stay in the room and not to come out at will to prevent damage to the scene. Either you two should wait, and when Lord Zhao summons the case later, you can directly ask Lord Zhao for it. ”

The two of them had no choice but to wait silently in the room, as for the matter of buying a maid for Zhao Shuang, they couldn't do it, and none of the people in the inn were allowed to go out, not even a letter.

The two waited left and right, and finally waited for the messenger to knock on the door, and Lord Zhao wanted to ask them about the case.

The middle-aged man first went to an empty room with the servant, and Lord Zhao temporarily served as an inquiry room here.

The middle-aged man finally saw the acting magistrate of Lanfeng County, and he looked dignified.

Zhao Mo sat behind the table, next to him was the canonical history, carrying a pen as a clerk to record important clues to the inquiry.

The middle-aged man arched his hand and said, "I've seen adults." ”

He just bowed, but did not kneel.

Seeing this situation, the other party was extraordinary, and Zhao Moshen didn't dare to hold it up, so he got up and saluted back: "Please take a seat." ”

The middle-aged man sat down.

Zhao Mo Shen said: "Sir, please tell me your name, where is the person, and is it a guest in that room?" ”

Middle-aged man said; "In Xia Lin Chu, the people of the capital city, live in room 3."

Zhao Moshen asked, "When will Mr. Lin stay at the inn?" ”

"Yesterday at noon."

Zhao Moshen inquired in detail about Lin Chu's details since he checked in, as well as whether he had seen the guests in the next room and heard the movements in the next room.

Lin Chu answered one by one.

Finally, Zhao Moshen asked again: "Mr. Lin, can you tell me that you and your nephew have a noble cadre in Lanfeng County?" ”

Lin Chu said: "We are businessmen, so we are naturally looking for business opportunities. ”

Zhao Moshen nodded, and was about to send Lin Chu away, but Lin Chu said: "My lord, I am going south and north, and I think I have some knowledge, can I go down to the murder scene to take a look, maybe I can find something different, relieve my worries, and we can get out of the inn as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Mo pondered for a while and said, "Okay, you go to the room to rest first, and then I will take you to see it after I finish asking the people in the inn." ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Moshen asked Lin Chu's beautiful young nephew Lin Wenyi, and after asking everyone in the inn, Zhao Shuang came.

Zhao Mo Shen said: "Shuang'er, why are you here?" ”

Could it be that the girl knew that she had a murder here and came to help? The last pickle case was thanks to the girl.

Lord Zhao really thought about it too much, Zhao Shuang really didn't come over because of the case, she hadn't heard of this case yet.

She just waited all morning, and she didn't see Lin Chu's uncle and nephew send her Taohong, and she seriously suspected that the uncle and nephew had taken her money and ran away, and she didn't think that the silver was originally earned from them.

When Zhao Shuang arrived at the door of the inn, he first met the errand officer who lived at the door.

Most of the officers of the county government did not recognize Zhao Shuang, but the officers all recognized Zhao Shuang.

She used to go out to do laundry, but now she walks the street every day, and she can't know each other if she wants to.

An errand officer hurriedly said, "Why is Miss Zhao here?" Do you want to invite adults back for lunch? Lord Zhao is still busy investigating the case at this moment. ”

Zhao Shuang was naturally puzzled, what case was there in this inn: "What case is being investigated?" ”

Could it be that this inn evades taxes and hides dirt?

Although the ancient Qinglou was legal, the inn was not allowed to operate outside the border.

The servant explained: "The girl did not know that there had been a murder in this inn, and Mr. Shang was found dead in the guest room of the inn this morning. Mr. Shang entered the room from the left morning, and he did not go out of the room door until this morning, and the shopkeeper felt that it was inappropriate, so he asked people to open the door, and found that he had died in the guest room. ”
