Chapter 12: Unexpected Suspicions
"Are you sure this guy looks like this?"
Miao Miaomiao took the portrait drawn by Wang Funian according to the man's description and looked at it.
The other man nodded violently.
"Is this still human?" She leaned one side of the drawing closer to the other, "an apple face, grape eyes, and an orange petal mouth...... You've fallen into a pile of fruit, haven't you?! ”
"My lord, the grass people are very vividly described~ This little young man is Xiao Zhang at first glance~"
"You'll be able to recognize it." Miao Miaomiao rolled her eyes and withdrew the drawing paper.
"Hey!" The man was not happy when he heard this, and pointed to the catcher and said, "If you don't believe it, sir, you can show us Xia Catcher, you can definitely recognize it at a glance!" ”
Miao Miaomiao looked suspiciously at the head catcher who was pouring tea: "Do you recognize it?" ”
Originally, Xia Zhutou looked like he was out of the matter, thinking that the minister had taken over the case, so naturally he had nothing to do.
So he didn't listen to a word from beginning to end.
But unexpectedly, he was named.
The head catcher could only stubbornly agree: "Lord Hui, the townspeople in the simple town can recognize eight or nine out of ten, as long as the portrait is seven or eight points like me." ”
"Do you recognize him?" As soon as the girl showed her drawing paper, the primitive man who looked like an abstract artist suddenly appeared, startling the headhunter who had seen the world.
"Shhh......hh This...... This ......" Xia Zhutou squinted, trying to make out it.
"Don't recognize it, do you?" Miao Miaomiao pursed her lips, "I know that I can't recognize it, what does this person look like, I think it's better to ask the tavern owner to be reliable!" ”
"Isn't this Zhang Dagen!"
Xia Zhutou roared, and immediately shocked Miao Miaomiao, who was about to tear the painting.
"What?" The girl and Wang Funian had an expression of "am I hallucinating".
The catcher touched his chin full of stubble: "It's a loss to draw six points like a god, and I really can't recognize it if it's one point less!" ”
Miao Miaomiao blushed, looked at the fat man beside her, and spoke after a while: "Lao Wang, do I have to praise your superb painting skills?" ”
The corners of Wang Funian's mouth twitched: "The adult has won the prize......"
……
Zhang Dagen used to work in a lakeside tavern.
“…… And the tavernkeeper's relationship with this running hall is not ordinary. ”
This sentence came out of the mouth of the tavern regulars, which caused Miao Miaomiao to raise her eyebrows, and her gossip heart suddenly rose.
"What? What other secret do these two people have? ”
The man waved his hand: "Don't tell anyone, it's just ...... It's the kind of ...... that is better than a good friend. That...... What is it called? ”
"Better than a good friend......," the girl pondered, "You're talking about a confidant, right?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes! That's what it means...... Hi! What you have read is different, just two words will make it clear. ”
Miao Miaomiao asked him to talk about how to confide in the law?
The man replied: "It's that the tavern owner has mentioned more than once that in the entire Great Zhou Kingdom, the only person who can understand his wine is Xiao Zhang, who runs the hall." Tell me, I spent money and drank two days in three days, and in the end I still didn't know how to drink?! ”
The man said one more thing.
When he arrived at the tavern a few days ago, he unprecedentedly bumped into the tavern owner and Zhang Dagen arguing.
However, the general content of the quarrel was that the tavern owner wanted to pay for Zhang Dagen to study at the academy in the town.
Zhang Dagen seemed to think that he was insulting him with money.
He will earn his own tuition and does not need the handouts of the tavernkeeper......
"Tsk." Wang Funian frowned, and touched his two layers of chin, "I don't need to quarrel about this little thing...... Did Zhang Dagen's reaction go too far? ”
The girl shook her head and lowered her voice: "Maybe this incident is just a fuse, and there should have been a mine between these two people a long time ago." ”
"Doesn't it mean that they have a good relationship......
"It's just because it's so good......" Miao Miaomiao muttered to herself.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he instantly got up and ran towards the city gate.
"Where are you going?!" Wang Funian was at a loss for a while, so he could only get on the horse and catch up.
And Xia Zhutou turned around with a pot of freshly boiled tea and saw that the two of them were gone.
He ...... Where did they go? ”
"The ......," the man grimly pointed in the direction of the city gate.
"Miao-sama! There are also cases of missing criminals! Why didn't you just run away?! The catcher threw down the kettle and walked away.
The man in the seat looked at the three people who left and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this point, he was tapped on the shoulder lightly.
As soon as he turned his head, the tea stall owner happily stretched out his hand: "A total of one hundred and twenty Wen." ”
……
Again to the tavern.
The water tank in front of the door has been taken away by the official because it is evidence.
However, because of the boiling murders, this tavern has not been visited since it opened in the morning.
"Three again." The tavern owner brought up the spirit of welcome, "Finished with business?" ”
Miao Miaomiao didn't answer, and looked around with her hands behind her back: "Boss, what kind of wine do you usually sell?" ”
"Plum wine, wine, and rice wine are the most sold ......"
After listening to his list one by one, the girl sat down in her seat: "Then please ask the boss to have a pot of each~"
"My lord, let's not investigate the case?" Wang Funian also sat down, "Why did you start drinking?" ”
"You've just drunk a lot, what if you drink a few more pots?" After that, she beckoned the head catcher to sit down and drink together.
Xia Zhutou hurriedly refused, saying that he was on official business and could not drink.
Wang Funian looked around, but he didn't see Miao Miaomiao's personal guard, so he asked where he went.
The girl only said that he had something to do, and left him alone.
After a while, the tavernkeeper was serving his drinks.
When the whole table couldn't be placed, Miao Miaomiao shouted to stop.
But she didn't drink any of them, she just opened them and smelled them.
The cat's nose is also quite smart.
Soon she was able to sniff out something unusual.
"This, this, and this......" Miao Miaomiao took out the three pots of wine, "Withdraw the others." ”
The other two couldn't guess her mind for a while.
Wang Funian couldn't help but ask, "My lord, are these three pots of wine particularly fragrant?" ”
The corner of the girl's mouth hooked, and she poured him a glass.
After watching the fat man take a sip of wine into her throat, she spoke: "These three kinds of wine have been medicated." ”
"Plus...... Ahem! Ahem, ahem! Wang Funian was so shocked that he coughed and pointed at the tavern owner, "You guy actually dare to poison?!" ”
The tavern owner waved his hand in a panic: "Wronged! I...... I didn't poison it...... I have nothing to do with poisoning......"
"The official only said that you were drugged, but he didn't say that you were poisoned!"
As soon as Wang Funian heard this, he immediately stopped the action of buttoning his tongue: "My lord...... You said it earlier...... I almost threw up the yellow bile. ”
"It's best to spit out the gallbladder, and you can eat less and lose weight."
Then Miao Miaomiao turned her head, changed her words, and asked the tavern owner with a solemn face: "You'd better be honest, why do you put ginger juice in the wine?" ”
