Chapter 197: Pearls (4)

I thought that if I found the case of sending fish to Yuelai Inn, I would be able to solve it, but I didn't expect that although the person who sent the fish was found, he only found the corpse thrower.

"Official, official, I was wronged, I was really wronged." The fisherman Zhang Bing knelt in the hall: "The villain Zhang Bing, since the day the Yuelai Inn opened to welcome guests, he has been responsible for delivering fish to the inn." The villain's fish was not caught from the Luo River, but from the Yellow River. In order to keep it fresh, the villain deliberately made a wooden car. First lay a layer of reed grass in this wooden cart, and then spread a layer of skin on top of the reed grass, and then put the water and fish in the cart, and then drove the cart to the city and sent it to the Yuelai Inn. This fish will be brought more every time, first close to the Yuelai Inn's pick, and the rest will be sold elsewhere.

On the day of the accident, as usual, the little one went to the Yuelai Inn to deliver the fish first. Because he brought more, the villain borrowed the bucket of the Yuelai Inn to fill the fish and took it to the market to buy it. On that day, I don't know what was going on, there were many people who came and went to see the fish, but there were few people who bought the fish, and it was not sold out until it was dark. I really didn't have a problem, so I went back to the inn first.

Because I often go to the inn to deliver fish, I have become acquaintances with the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn. The shopkeeper advised me to keep the fish in the inn first, and then sell it after dawn the next day, and then go back after the sale. ”

"The shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn asked you to stay?"

"yes." Zhang Bing nodded: "This is not an uncommon thing, it has happened before." The official doesn't know, my lady is a person who cares about money, if I don't sell all the fish, and don't bring her the money from selling the fish, I won't be able to live in peace for many days when she can make trouble. I'd rather stay in the inn than go back and see my lady's stinky face. ”

"You stayed at the inn that night?"

"I'm staying in an inn, but not in a guest room. The room was expensive, and I couldn't afford it. The shopkeeper found me a bed in the backyard where the guys were resting, and I could still get along in this weather. When Zhang Bing said this, he suddenly shouted: "If the official doesn't believe it, you can ask those guys, I stayed with them until I got up in the middle of the night on the night of the accident." ”

"Wake up in the middle of the night?"

"That's right, this person has three urgency, I just don't think about it, I can't help it." Zhang Bing said with a bitter face: "Alas, speaking of this, the villain also regrets it. If this villain had sold out of the fish, or hadn't gotten up that night, there would have been no such things to follow. ”

"Make it clear."

"Yes, the villain will make it clear, and the villain will make it clear." Zhang Bing knelt down and moved forward slightly: "Late that night, I don't know what time it was, the villain suddenly heard a 'bang' outside, and the villain woke up from his dream." After waking up, I felt a little anxious. The villain lay down for a while, thinking that if he could hold back this internal urgency, he would wait until dawn. But I can't help it, the more I think about it, the more I want to get up. Later, the villain got up. This work was done quite neatly, and nothing particularly strange happened in the middle, but just when the villain was about to go back to the room to continue sleeping, the villain saw his car. ”

"Your car?"

"Yes, the villain's car, the fish car. The car was parked in the yard. Vaguely, the villain saw something in the car. When I got closer, I realized that it was a person, and it was not our Middle-earthers, it was a monk, a monk dressed strangely. ”

"Tibetan monk?"

"That's right, it's the Tibetan monk. He was lying on my car in a very strange position, and I felt sorry for the fish in my car. The monk was quite big, and the flesh on his body looked quite porcelain, and he was lying on my car like that, and I had to crush all the remaining fish that were not sold out. I first called him, but he didn't make a sound, and then I pushed him, and he didn't move. I thought it was strange, so I bent my waist and took a look. Outcome...... I was scared to death. This monk, he ...... He's bleeding from seven orifices. I had never seen such a terrible sight, my feet were frightened, and I sat directly on the ground, unable to get up for a long time. ”

"Why didn't you report to the official?"

"I wanted to come, but then I was instigated. This car is mine, and people died in my car, and I am afraid that I will not be able to tell myself. Zhang Bing's face became more and more ugly: "Later, ...... Later, I thought, in the middle of the night, no one will see it, so I can just send people out secretly and bury them. ”

"You just sent people out in a car?"

"A little bit of a cover-up." Zhang Bing said, burying his head: "Because I often deliver fish to Yuelai Inn, the shopkeeper gave me a back door key, and I used that key to open the door and drive the car out." When I was about to get to the city gate, I was still muttering, worried that the city gate was closed, and I couldn't get out, and if someone checked it again, it was not me who killed the murderer, but it would have to be me. ”

"And how did you get out?"

"Coincidentally, there was an official family who was going out at that time, and there were many small cars behind their carriage, so I followed and went out." Zhang Bing's snickering look looked a little annoying: "After leaving the city, I originally wanted to find a place to bury this monk." But the official who walked in front suddenly stopped for some reason, as if counting the number of people. Fearing that I would be discovered, I took advantage of the darkness to drive the car to the side, and then lifted the monk to the other side of the moat. ”

"Those people didn't notice you?"

"Those people from the official family? I found out. I said that I was a fishman who sold fish in the city, because the fish were all dead, and I didn't dare to go home to see my wife, so I stayed at the gate of the city for the night. I also said that I was going to wait until dawn before going into the city, and by that time, the lady's anger was almost gone. When they saw that I was indeed a fisherman, and that I had nothing on me, they left me alone. ”

"Didn't hide it?"

"The sky can be learned, everything the villain says is the truth, and I really don't dare to hide the official master."

"Did you find anything in the inn on the day of the incident?"

"Discovery?" Zhang Bing thought for a moment and said, "At that time, there seemed to be a room in the upstairs guest room with a light on. Yes, the lights are on, not the lights are on, and half of the windows are open. There was something dark behind the window, but I couldn't see what it was. ”

"Can you confirm that?"

"Yes, I swear, I did." Zhang Bing raised his hand: "It was when I found out that there was a monk lying in my car, so I took a look at the guest room, and then I found the room with the lights on, and the dark shadow that I couldn't tell what it was." But just as I leaned over to see if the monk was alive or dead, the lights in the room went out, and the black thing was gone......"

"Black stuff? What is it? In the Ruyi rouge shop, Xing Ruyi put down the things in his hand and looked at Xiao Zhukuai, who was talking about the trial process.

"The ghost knows what it is, that Zhang Bing said that he was in a panic at the time, and he didn't see it clearly at all. After this, we also took Zhang Bing back to the Yuelai Inn, and asked him to recognize whether the room with the lights on was the Tibetan monk's, and he was sure that it was. But we've searched that room too, and there's nothing particularly strange about it. ”

"In the middle of the night, under such circumstances, how can this Zhang Bing be sure that the house with the lights on is the Tibetan monk's. Xiao Shengzi, what did you ask him at the time? Xing Ruyi asked the little catcher.

Xiao Zhu's name is Sheng Demei, because he thinks this name is a bit girlish, so he calls him Xiao Shengzi.

"What, how do you ask? How else can I ask that? I stood in the courtyard, pointed to the room where the Tibetan monk lived upstairs, and asked him if it was the one. He looked at it a few times and said yes. ”

"Zhang Bing can't be sure." Xing Ruyi put down the things in his hand and sat down at the round table: "In that environment, the rooms in the inn are almost the same, and Zhang Bing can't identify which one is that at all, especially the adjacent rooms, it is difficult to distinguish at a glance." You ask him, and he looks at it a few times before answering, which just shows that he doesn't remember at all. ”

"This Zhang Bing, he dares to lie to me." Xiao Shengzi stood up angrily.

"Sit down, sit down, Zhang Bing is not lying to you, he just thinks that more is better than less. Moreover, he himself has no way to be sure, not so much that he is not sure, he doesn't know, and let you scold him in person, it is better to affirm the room you pointed out. You and Brother Chang have been to that room, and you have repeatedly checked it, even if you are standing downstairs, you can accurately point out that it is the room of the Tibetan monk. When questioning, I will unconsciously bring this kind of confidence. Zhang Bing was infected by your self-confidence, so he naturally followed your words. ”

Speaking of this, Xing Ruyi moved his gaze to Chang Tai: "Brother Chang, if I can, I want to go to the Yuelai Inn with you to have a look." ”

"I also went to the Yuelai Inn, the room of the Tibetan monk has been checked by us many times, there is really nothing suspicious."

"It's not the Tibetan monk's room, it's the room next to him." Xing Ruyi and Chang Tai glanced at each other: "Can you bring the innkeeper out?" There are some things I want to ask him face to face. ”

"The shopkeeper suspects that the innkeeper is the murderer?" Xiao Shengzi asked.

"No, he's not the murderer, but he's the one who hiboured another deceased."

"Another deceased? Who is it? ”

"I don't know who it is, but what I can be sure of at the moment is that the other party is a woman, who should be over twenty years old, has a good family background, and may even be from a wealthy background. The pearls in Brother Chang's hand and my black brocade box belong to her. ”

"Xiao Shengzi." Chang Tai called Xiao Shengzi: "You go back to the mansion and bring people back to Yuelai Inn, just say that I asked you to bring them." ”
