Chapter Ninety-Six: Words
After a period of scramble and piercing screams, Fang Xiuting and Fang Xiuwen, together with the maids and maids beside them and the coachman, were restrained by the official messenger of the government office.
"It's not ...... we did" Fang Xiuting still wanted to argue, so she heard Zhen Shiyuan snort softly: "Is it your own official who will find out." ”
Now? It's better for these two to stop a bit.
The good end opened the door to do business, but there was a murder, and the shopkeeper wanted to cry without tears, so he had to greet him with a smile.
Idlers are not allowed to enter and exit the restaurant, those who come in to eat are not allowed to leave, and those who look lively outside are not allowed to step into the restaurant at will.
Zhen Shiyuan was silent for a moment at the trembling diners, then turned around, pointed to one of the people in the crowd, and said, "You...... Come in and go up with the officer to identify the suspects where they saw them. ”
Qiao Ran, who was ordered, walked in.
Damn, let her identify it! Fang Xiuting suddenly became anxious: "Lord Zhen, she and I had a dispute not long ago. ”
"You said it before, this official remembers it!" Zhen Shiyuan glanced at her coldly, "This matter will be considered by the official, and he will never listen to the words of the family." ”
Is that really the case? Fang Xiuting obviously didn't believe it, so many people jumped out to identify her, Lord Zhen didn't pick her, but picked her, if there were no ghosts in it, she wouldn't believe it!
Fang Xiuting still wanted to speak, so she heard the official escorting her behind her cough twice: "Second Miss Fang, don't mess with the adult's case, you are a suspect, what is the intention of disrupting the adult's case?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Fang Xiuting was immediately startled, and just as she was about to speak, she swallowed back into her stomach in fright, and she couldn't talk nonsense now, so she had to stare at Qiao Ran deadly.
It didn't hurt to be looked at like this, so she let her stare at it.
"You guys are interrogating downstairs, and if there is a witness within half an hour before and after the incident, write down the name and residence, and let it go!" Most of the people who come to this restaurant to eat have two big money in their pockets, and they have names and surnames, so it is not difficult to find people.
Zhen Shiyuan, together with several officials, took Qiao Ran, Fang Xiuting and others to the second floor. The second floor is a private room, and the guests who received the news also opened the door early and waited for questioning.
Qiao Ran swept around for a moment, and soon found the one facing the street: "It's here." ”
As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the tables and chairs were soft and overturned, and there was nothing else to eat except tea and snacks. The window was wide open, Zhen Shiyuan walked over, looked down from upstairs, and when he looked down, he saw Mr. Huang Zijiu lying on his back on the ground.
Huang Zijiu should have fallen from here.
"What do you have to say?" Zhen Shiyuan turned around and said to Fang Xiuting and the others who were brought in.
Fang Xiuting seemed to be panicked, and she couldn't say anything for a while, but Fang Xiuwen spoke: "Lord Zhen, this matter has nothing to do with us......
Zhen Shiyuan was impatient when he heard this, and raised his hand and beckoned to his officials: "Take it back and interrogate it strictly." ”
The one who opened seemed to be able to hide things a little more than the one who didn't, and the one who didn't tell knew what was going on with a panicked look. He felt that these two people did not have the courage and means to kill Jiang Xiao, Feng Yuan, and Huang Zijiu in a row, but these two people were obviously hiding things, since they were so uncooperative, there was nothing to say, just take them back and ask.
After Fang Xiuting and the others were taken down, Zhen Shiyuan looked at her: "What does Miss Qiao think?" ”
Ask her? Qiao Ran was silent for a moment, and said, "My lord, I will ask after the seal is checked, but I just took a look at the window, and jumped from the height here and fell to his death, which is really too coincidental." ”
Zhen Shiyuan nodded: "This official also thinks so, this matter is very likely to be artificial, but those two women are obviously afraid of things and refuse to tell the truth, but they told me to wait for some extra effort." ”
"Why don't you ask the boss to come over and ask who runs this box." Qiao Ran said, her eyes fell on the tea and dim sum that had just moved, and paused, "Fang Xiuting and Fang Xiuwen only had an argument with me before the accident, I almost watched the restaurant they entered, if this box was opened by them, it shouldn't just be some tea and snacks." "Now is the time for diners to eat, Fang Xiuwen and Fang Xiuting came to this restaurant at this point, and it is unlikely that they only ordered tea and snacks in order to chat and talk, even if the meal has not been served, the cold dishes in the restaurant are prepared early in the morning, and the family below is spending their aunt's money, just looking at Fang Xiuting and Fang Xiuwen picking up cloth today without blinking, I know that it is impossible for these two people to save expenses for their aunt, and it is unlikely that they will come to the restaurant to deliberately save cold appetizers.
While speaking, the shopkeeper of the restaurant and the junior second of the running hall have been brought over.
After the ceremony, Zhen Shiyuan opened his mouth and asked, "Who opened this box?" ”
The little two who ran the hall said: "The little one has been waiting for the adults to pass the word!" This box was not originally opened by those two young ladies of the Fang family. It was the time for the meal, and the location of the better box had already been decided, and only the innermost room was empty. The two young ladies of the Fang family disliked the bad location, so they made a lot of money to change the box. The little one thought about it and came to ask, because the guests in this room came in the morning, and after asking for tea and snacks, they didn't call anyone, and the little one thought that the tea was almost drunk at this hour, so he brought the two young ladies over......"
After all, the restaurant is open for business, and a cup of tea and snacks has been eaten from morning to noon for a long time.
Xiao Er continued: "As soon as I opened the door, I saw Mr. Huang Zijiu, who had fallen from the building, standing by the window, and the little one wanted to come over and ask, but the two young ladies said that they told him, and urged the little one to serve the food, and the little one withdrew first......"
The shopkeeper raised his hand angrily and gave him a slap: "You know the money!" "If it weren't for Xiao Er's laziness and didn't come in to ask in person, and let the two female guests come in by themselves, maybe this wouldn't have happened.
Xiao Er was slapped and wanted to cry without tears: Who can't get along with money! Besides, the running hall only has a few dollars a month, if it weren't for the money from the guests, how could he support his family?
Qiao Ran couldn't help but shake her head when she heard this: This testimony is very unfavorable to Fang Xiuting and Fang Xiuwen, and the two of them are still hiding it.
Xiao Er said, paused and said: "By the way, not long after the two Fang family ladies went in with people, the little one heard a "bang" sound, and Mr. Huang Zijiu fell downstairs, most of them were done by the two, after all, the little one could see that Mr. Huang was standing by the window at that time, so he couldn't push it...... "This Mr. Huang Zijiu's luck is really not very good, and ordinary people will fall their arms and legs at this height, and it is a little embarrassing to die directly."
"Is this Mr. Huang the one who opened the box?" Zhen Shiyuan asked the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper immediately picked up the account book and checked it: "It shouldn't be a person...... "After all, the restaurant business, it is too strange for a person to come to the restaurant to eat and open a private room." If that had happened, he would have written it down.
Flipping through the account book, the shopkeeper nodded again and again: "Oh, I remember, Mr. Huang seems to have come with a middle-aged scribe, and the middle-aged scribe also specially asked for a begonia four, my restaurant does not provide begonia four points at this time, he added it himself, and asked my chef to make another one, oh, the one who took a bite was the begonia four points made by my chef." ”
Zhen Shiyuan snorted and summoned the official: "Take this begonia to the four points for inspection to see what materials can be added." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he waved his hand again and again in fright: "My family Deyue Building is also a time-honored brand in Jinling, if you add any materials, you will have been smashed by someone, how can you do such a thing?" What's more, if we open the door to do business, we won't have enmity with our guests......"
The shopkeeper is also a good speaker, and immediately gushed to defend himself, but was about to talk about the head, but was suddenly interrupted.
"So the four words of Begonia Four Points written separately were written by the middle-aged scribe?" Qiao Ran pointed to the words on the recipe and asked the shopkeeper.
The words of "Begonia Four Points" are completely different from those words on the shopkeeper's recipe, which is quite popular.
"Yes! It was the scribe who wrote it. The shopkeeper patted his head and suddenly, "I almost forgot about it." ”
