Chapter 37

If the case was investigated at the scene last night, this case, not to mention the revelations, must have an eyebrow.

At the scene of the crime, in the flower hall of the Langyu Building, although it has not been cleaned up for the time being, it has come in handy again, but all the mess left last night has been cleaned up, and the scene has been cleaned clean.

Niu Er came over with Jian Qing, the old bustard's eyes were not eyes, and his nose was not his nose, and he said angrily, "Poor master, you have to give us people a way to live, don't you?" There was a scene last night, and today is not stopped, what is going on? ”

"This is really a strange story, people died here with you, and you don't give an explanation, and you still ask us about it?" Concise and clear.

"What are these words? What does it mean for people to die with us? Look at what you said, do you mean that we poisoned Li Bantou to death? If we do, what can we do? ”

This is exactly what poked Niu Er's heart, he was so angry that he slapped the iron ruler on his body, and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, who poured the wine yesterday?" Let her come out and talk! ”

The person who poured the wine that night was Aunt Xiu, "I don't know, I took a set of three autumn cups, one cup is enough to hold two taels of wine, somehow, when I brought it to the table of the officials, there was an extra small cup." I thought it was a small cup that Brother Zhou Shen put for Jian Yanzuo, and I didn't care about it, so I said that the small cup was for Jian Yanzuo, all to take care of Jian Yanzuo. ”

Zhou Shen was called by Niu Er, when the death case occurred, he happened to be there, and now that he was questioned, Zhou Shen was very scared, and he stammered when he spoke, "The small, the small one is just a big teapot, and he doesn't serve in front of the guests on weekdays, but last night it was because Brother Jian came, I was afraid that she would not be able to drink, so I dared to come over while I was doing chores, who would have thought about it." ”

Of course, it was this unlucky murder, and no one wanted to have anything to do with it.

"Brother Zhou, last night, according to the convention, what should you do and what should you not do?" Jian Qing was worried that Zhou Shen would misunderstand, "Brother Zhou, you don't have to worry, only by saying it clearly can you prove your innocence." Last night, everyone present was suspicious, in fact, Brother Niu and I are not qualified to ask the case here. ”

Zhou Shen didn't understand these words very well, but he knew a truth, everyone who was present last night might be suspected of killing Li Shi, so that they seemed to have the same hatred and stood on a unified position.

"Last night, according to the usual practice, the little one was only responsible for delivering the wine and food, and should not go into the flower hall. The little one saw Brother Jane from the window, and heard someone say that he wanted to pour Brother Jane's wine, so the little one dared to go in. ”

Jian Qing asked, "Brother Zhou, think about it, when you were inside and outside the flower hall last night, did you encounter any people or things that made you feel unusual?" Or hear something out of the ordinary? ”

Zhou Shen thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No! ”

"Brother Zhou, can you tell me all the people you saw and what you did when you went in and out of the flower hall last night?"

"I was waiting at the kitchen door, and the fat aunt called someone to pick up the food box, and I happened to be fine, so I went to ......"

"At this time, who are you carrying the food box with? Have you ever met someone who shouldn't be in the kitchen? ”

"Li Er and I carried the food box together, there were four of us, and when we came out of the kitchen, when we entered the flower hall, Li Er greeted an acquaintance."

"In what place? What kind of acquaintance is it? ”

"When I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I met Lao Qiu Tou, we were quite envious of Li Er, who was able to climb such a big man, and joked that Li Er should be invited to eat fried chestnuts with sugar."

Lao Qiu Tou is an old servant beside Jiang Zhonglin. is about sixty years old, usually wears a green cloth round-necked robe, wears a net scarf on his head, does not smile, and never leaves Jiang Zhonglin's side on weekdays, which is also very inconspicuous. It is estimated that if it weren't for the fact that Zhou Shen and the others were really envious of Li Er's ability to know someone like Lao Qiu Tou, who seemed to be inconspicuous, but was actually very important in Lingqiu City, it was estimated that they might not be able to pay attention.

At least, Jian Qing had seen Lao Qiu Tou many times, and he hadn't paid much attention to this old man once.

Last night, after Jiang Zhonglin gave a reward, he also came to make the jade building? What are you here for? Old Qiu Tou didn't serve by Jiang Zhonglin's side, what did he do in this east wing?

Although the scene in the flower hall has been cleaned up, and the furniture and ornaments have been moved, the general location has not changed. However, the glass screen under the west wall is missing.

Jian Qing asked, "Where is this glass screen?" ”

When Lan Laobuar heard this, his heart, liver and lungs were hurting, and he slapped his thigh, "Don't mention this glass screen, last night, I don't know which damn mouse it was, and the rope of the palace lamp on his head was bitten off, and the palace lamp fell, and it happened to fall on this glass screen. ”

To put it bluntly, glass is glass, perhaps the world before Jianqing is very worthless, but in this era, glass is a luxury that only high-ranking officials and nobles can afford.

Although the jade building is exquisite, in order to create a rich and gentle township for the guests, but the person is high with a glass screen, which can be regarded as a rare thing, and why is such a valuable ornament not placed on the third floor, but in this flower hall?

Jian Qing asked with a smile, "This glass screen is really rare, but if it is placed in this flower hall, it really can't add color to the jade building, so I don't know who would instigate Sister Lan in the first place?" ”

Lan Laobuxing has no time to care about Jian Qing being a sister and brother with her for a while, and becoming an ancestor and grandson for a while, these ever-changing titles, she thought about it, and slapped her head suddenly, "Isn't it?" This glass screen was originally a prostitute in Datong Mansion, the family property left by the ancestors, and it was obtained by betting ten taels of silver, and it must have been those fools who looked at it as worthless and did not know the goods, so they moved here to put it. ”

Those idiots should be talking about the miscellaneous work in the jade building, so it is purely accidental that this glass screen is placed here.

However, there is no accident in this world for no reason, Jian Qing asked, "Who moved here and put it here?" ”

"It's me!" Zhou Shen raised his head, "This glass screen was moved in more than two months ago, because it was too fragile to see that it was too precious, and when I moved into this courtyard, I almost slipped my hand, I was worried, so I put it in this room." ”

Liuliping moved in two months ago, at that time, Jian Qing had just been reincarnated, and no one could have calculated that she would solve the case of Xinglai Inn, and it was impossible to calculate that Jiang Zhonglin would send some money, let alone that Li Shi would invite them to come to the Jade Building to drink, and of course there was no way to arrange it in advance.
