Chapter 42: The Inn Turmoil 2
With a big hand raised, "No need"
I didn't even look at the shopkeeper and looked around at the crowd.
"Who reported the crime?" A fierce and vicious head catcher at the head shouted angrily.
The big man bent over and ran over as if flattering: "Official, it's from Xiaomin Daily." ”
The head catcher glanced at him and motioned for him to continue.
"Xiaomin had a meal at the Tongren Inn yesterday, and in the evening, he vomited and diarrhea, and he also ate white fat worms in the meal, so I implore the official to search the kitchen and give Xiaomin justice!"
"But there is such a thing" pointed at the shopkeeper's long eyebrows.
"Official, I was wronged, how dare a small shop open a black shop within your jurisdiction.
Yesterday, many guests were fine after eating, but this one guest ate worms, and the small shop was wronged.
Tonight, I don't know which thief put dozens of rats in the kitchen of the small shop, trying to frame them, and the key to the kitchen this morning was also mysteriously missing. ”
"Then how do you know there's a rat in there!" The official at the head looked at the shopkeeper who was bent over and didn't dare to raise his head, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"The key that fell is from the shopkeeper, I have a spare key here, the cook didn't come in the morning, so I routinely went to the kitchen to clean it and found out."
"Don't believe their nonsense, the official doesn't believe them, it's that they are thieves shouting to catch thieves, and I don't know how many days those dishes have been left, and they will be eaten for us if they are washed or not."
The shopkeeper blushed his neck, "You are talking nonsense!" ”
"Official......
"It's all quiet, if anyone says more, take it away!"
The big man stood behind the official in silence, and the shopkeeper stood next to the shopkeeper with his neck bent.
"What the hell is going on, you can see it at a glance!" With a wave of his hand, eleven or twelve young fishers rushed into the backyard.
The shopkeeper stomped his feet, sighed secretly, and followed.
Dahan also followed closely behind, glaring at the shopkeeper fiercely before leaving.
When everyone saw that everyone had entered, they also wanted to find out, so they strode in.
Su Xiaoxiao originally wanted to pull Aunt Sun back and leave this place of right and wrong, but Aunt Sun was a gossip and dragged her to the backyard with the crowd.
A group of people came to the backyard and saw that the kitchen was tightly locked with an iron lock.
I saw that the official who was the leader gave an order, and two or three caught one flying leg quickly, and opened the door.
In an instant, two fat rats slipped out of the kitchen.
The last two catchers quickly entered, and after a while, they threw out two sacks, whispered a few words to the official who was the leader, and the sound of "squeaking" came out.
"It's a mouse!" I don't know who shouted in the crowd.
"Two big bags of rats! There's no telling how much dirt this kitchen has. ”
For a while, everyone who had eaten in this restaurant had a look on their faces, and they were nauseous and vomiting, and the scene was also very shocking.
Only Su Xiaoxiao looked at the two bags of rats and frowned, shouldn't she use the kitchen last night, and she also brushed the pots and pans at that time, and the stove was still clean at that time, how could it be......
"Shopkeeper Xu, do you have anything else to explain?"
Shopkeeper Xu was in a cold sweat, shaking his hands to wipe the sweat on his face, and a stirring spirit suddenly thought of something.
"Official, I remembered, I heard Xiao Er say that when we closed yesterday, a guest borrowed the kitchen late at night and paid a tael of silver, maybe this mouse was put in by the guest."
"Official, I'm really lying, don't believe it, you ask the shopkeeper!"
The shopkeeper pulled out the shopkeeper who was hiding behind him, and although the shopkeeper was also scared, he was still much calmer than the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper looked sad, "It's true, but it's ......"
"What about people? Find out for me! ”
"This, this ......" Just when the shopkeeper was struggling, the shopkeeper pinched his thigh fiercely.
whispered: "What are you still grinding and chirping, hurry up." ”
"That's her," he said, looking around at the crowd and pointing to a woman in a goose-yellow coarse cloth dress in the sea of people.
She knew that it was not good to watch the excitement!
Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, not to mention that she seems to have noticed something.
Seeing that things had fallen on her all of a sudden, where had Aunt Sun seen such a big battle, her legs immediately became weak, and she grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's sleeve tightly.
"It's all aunt's bad, it's even bothering you!"
"Auntie, I didn't do it, there's nothing to be afraid of, I'm not afraid of shadows!"
The crowd gave way, and the people around looked at the little girl with a beautiful face and pointed.
"How could this girl do such a thing?"
"Look at her vixen, it's not a good thing at first glance, maybe it's a deliberate game to hook up with a man."
"Oh, the grade is young, and the scheming is so deep..."
In short, men only look at the appearance of the woman in front of them, and the woman is maliciously speculating.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't realize anything, how could others say that it was someone else's, and those mothers-in-law slandered her so much, just because they were jealous that she had a good skin.
Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid.
Seeing a delicate little girl coming from the crowd, there was no panic, her eyes were clear and translucent, and her every move was bright and generous.
is not inferior to the man's aura, which makes the head catcher a little appreciated.
"You're the one who used the kitchen after yesterday's cooking!"
"This is true before the truth is understood." Speak rigorously, thoroughly, logically, neither humble nor arrogant.
"And you put these rats in?"
"The folk girl hadn't seen any of these rats, let alone put them in the kitchen.
I did come to the kitchen after closing yesterday, I came to cook, and I was empty-handed at the time, and I didn't take anything, which Aunt Sun can testify. ”
Aunt Sun also walked out of the crowd, "I can testify." ”
"When I was cooking, the shopkeeper was guarding the door, and no matter what I did, I could be seen clearly.
And after cooking, it was also the door locked by the shopkeeper, and there was nothing in the kitchen at that time, which the shopkeeper can testify. ”
The shopkeeper cringed and stretched out his hand, "Yes, that's right." ”
"I have both human and physical evidence, and I have no motive to do it, so this matter has nothing to do with me!"
At this time, the catcher just now, whispered for a while, and took out an emerald green stud earring.
"This is yours?" An emerald green stud earring appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Su Xiaoxiao was suddenly startled, and subconsciously touched the left earlobe, which was empty.
"Back to the official, this is indeed a people's woman's, but this earring can't be found this morning, and for some reason it appeared in the official's hand."
"Heh," the man sneered, "take this person away." ”
With a wave of his hand, three or four catchers came up and trapped Su Xiaoxiao.
"Official, official, the little ones are all true, I can testify!"
"You are a gang, covering each other, and not arresting you together is already an open net! Do you know where to find these stud earrings? ”
"It's in the rat pile, and the shopkeeper also said that you came to the kitchen, and then the key was lost, isn't it a coincidence?"
The more critical the moment, the more calm she must be, Su Xiaoxiao tried to recall the whole process of the case.
"Official, wait, according to an earring, it can't say anything, this kind of earring is shoddy and cheap, and it is all over the street, and it doesn't prove my identity!"
The words had an effect, and the official fingers rubbed the earrings that shone with an emerald green light, and pondered slightly.
beckoned to the shopkeeper, "How many women moved in yesterday?" ”
The shopkeeper wiped his cold sweat and hurriedly stepped forward, as a businessman, he still had a deep impression of his customers.
"Back to the official, there were only 20 people living in the store yesterday, and it is a coincidence that there are only these two girls in the current small shop."
"That means that from yesterday to today, there were only two women in the store, and this girl went to the kitchen at night."
"According to your description, this girl is the only one who has entered the kitchen after closing, and she has been in close contact with the key, so you are the only one who has the time to commit the crime!"
"So what is my motivation? This is the first time I have come to the city, and I have no grievances with my fellow inns, so why should I let the rats frame them?
Besides, I didn't go into the kitchen before that, and according to the person who had diarrhea and ate the worms, I was eating downstairs with Aunt Sun at that time, and everyone downstairs could testify!
I don't have time to go into the kitchen, let alone mess with my meals! ”
"What were you doing yesterday?" The official turned his gaze to the shopkeeper.
"At that time, there were a lot of people in the store, and the master chef did it in the back kitchen, and I helped serve the food."
"You also sent the food on the third floor?"
"Yes, I'm the only errand runner in the whole inn, and I went to the third floor with a lunch box after serving food to the people on the first floor."
"Is there any time in between?"
The shopkeeper patted it, and Daigo was empowered, "By the way, I remember that a guest officer came in to order, so I hurriedly put the lunch box by the window and went over to entertain it." ”
