Chapter 117: A corpse appears in the tavern
After two days of rest, everyone at a tavern regained their spirits.
With a good mood, Jin Se was the first to come to the tavern and open the door.
Today's taverns are different from those of the past, and there is a special smell in the air. Jinse's nose is not very sensitive to taste.
But the peculiar smell reached her nose at once.
"What does it smell like?" It was Song Wumei who followed Jin Se into the tavern.
"Did the thing break?" Jin Se asked suspiciously.
"No, before the holiday, Brother Niu and I wrapped up the things that were easy to break and hid them in the cellar." Song Wumei covered her nose. She's a cook, and her sense of smell and taste is higher than normal, "It seems to have come from upstairs." ”
Zhong Yi and February, who were left behind, exchanged a look with each other.
"I'll take a look, Miss, you wait." February volunteered. She is specially trained and is no stranger to this taste.
Old Uncle Zhong also smelled it, and it seemed that this matter was inseparable.
February checked the second floor and didn't find it, and finally determined that the smell came from the third floor.
She slowly made her way up the stairs from the second floor to the third floor, as she expected.
On the stage on the third floor, a corpse hangs.
Looks like he's been dead for a long time.
"Ah!!h A scream streaked through the silent tavern.
Xiao Cui entered the tavern later, and Jin Se had already warned her that there was a strange smell upstairs, and she would go upstairs after the inspection in February.
Xiao Cui, who had a big heart, thought it was a dead rat and didn't care at all. As a result, when she came to the third floor, she saw two feet hanging in the air.
Cui was stunned.
Hearing Xiao Cui's scream, Jin Se hurried over. She picked up Xiao Cui who fainted on the ground: "Xiao Cui! How are you? ”
"Yes...... There are dead people! Xiao Cui was frightened, and shivered and pointed to the stage on the third floor.
Rao was as bold as Jin Se and didn't dare to look up, she had the courage to shout to February on the third floor: "February, do you want to matter?" ”
She was already scared of one person, and she didn't want to faint in February.
"I'm fine, don't worry, Miss. Don't let people go up to the third floor just yet. "In order to protect the site, February could not put the body down.
But the tavern was still in business, and it was in a dilemma for a while.
"Report to the police!" Such a big thing, Jin Se can't hide it. A stranger suddenly died in a tavern. The blow to the tavern was huge.
"Xia Zhuzhi, you go to Jingzhao Yamen to report to the official. Business is closed today, so keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense. Jin Se commanded the people.
Soon the people of Jingzhao Yamen came to transport the body away.
A tavern was also temporarily closed because it was the scene of the crime. The tavern is not open to the public until the murderer is identified.
For a time, all kinds of gossip spread everywhere.
"Have you heard? A man died in a tavern. ”
"I've heard that, it's scary."
"I won't dare to go again."
In the Zhuang Mansion, Jin Se frowned and walked around the courtyard. She asked herself if she hadn't done anything wrong.
God wouldn't do that to her.
Why don't so many pubs go? I came to her tavern.
If it weren't for the two-day holiday, the tavern would have been vacant for two days. Nor will it give people a chance to sneak into the tavern and hang themselves.
What's even more terrifying now is that there are already rumors outside. There was a tavern where people who died were killed by the guys in the tavern.
Such words made Jin Se very angry, obviously he didn't know anything. It is inconceivable that a good person can be wronged just by a corpse.
Fortunately, the Fu Yin of Jingzhao Yamen was still an understanding person, and he asked him to conduct an autopsy. The cause of death of the deceased was confirmed, and it was indeed suicide.
The identity of the deceased was also found to be a carpenter. An ordinary person, with no enemies and no debts. How could you suddenly go to a dead end?
He also deliberately ran to Jinse's tavern to commit suicide.
There is a tavern in Jinse is not an ordinary restaurant, because it is facing Tianxiang Building. In line with the principle of guarding against people, Jinse hung two locks outside the tavern.
The most suspicious thing is that when he came back from vacation, when Jin Se opened the door, the door lock was intact.
How can an ordinary carpenter who doesn't know martial arts do without breaking the door. What about sneaking into a tavern to commit suicide?
It's weird everywhere.
After Jingzhao Yamen found out that it was a suicide, he unsealed a tavern.
But now there is a tavern that has been established with great difficulty, and its reputation has plummeted, and it has returned to its original form.
Maybe it's not as good as it was at the beginning, but at least the reputation was good at the beginning. Now this is a murder shop, the kind that has to go around the gate even if you walk.
There was a tavern that had not had any customers for two days. This time the situation was worse than when a tavern in Yangcheng was framed for poisoning.
After all, Yangcheng is the base camp of a tavern, where is the foundation. Some people still believe that there is a tavern and are willing to buy a milk tea when it is difficult to have a tavern.
The Imperial Capital is completely different, there is a tavern that has not been in the Imperial Capital for a long time. As soon as I sat up, I met a dead person in the store.
Moreover, the deceased was carried out by the Jingzhao Yamen in front of everyone.
The visual impact was too great, and even Xiaocui was forced by her mother to stay at home and not come to a tavern.
"Shopkeeper, I'm really sorry. My mother's illness was almost cured. She told me to stay at home and not go out, and I couldn't go to the tavern to sing. ”
Xiao Cui's eyes were slow and apologetic, she shouldn't have told her mother about the dead people in the tavern. Her mother's attitude was very tough, and she was determined not to let her sing in a tavern again.
"It's okay, I understand." Jin Se patted Xiao Cui's shoulder. Xiaocui is young after all, and the place where she dies is the stage where she usually takes the stage. It's normal for Xiaocui's mother to have scruples.
In other words, she didn't dare to sing in the place of the dead, what could she do if she summoned her soul.
Jokes aside, the crisis still has to find a way to solve it.
Since there is no business, the only way to change is to change from yourself. Jin Se dragged everyone and cleaned up a tavern.
It is said that it is clean, but also to find something for everyone, which is reassuring. It's easy to be cranky in a daze, and Jinse would rather do some work.
"Every place has to be cleaned! Don't let go of any corners and corners. We're going to sweep it all out! Jin Se himself changed into a coarse cloth for work.
She took the lead in cleaning a tavern, Niu Xingang and Song Wumei were in charge of the kitchen, Lao Uncle Zhong was in charge of inside and outside the counter, and Wang Xiaoer was in charge of the Qiong Jelly Jade Terrace. Xia Zhuzhi and the other guys were in charge of the tables, chairs and benches on the three floors.
"That'...... So we ...... Do what? "The Black Evil and the Wind Evil are on the first floor and don't know what to do.
There were no guests to eat in the tavern, so naturally there were no dishes for them to wash. Seeing that everyone else was working, the two big men stood here a little abruptly.
"You go and help Xia Zhuzhi wipe the table, sweep the floor, and take out the garbage. I want a tavern to be spotless. Jinse waved them to work.
"Oh, here we go." The wind and the black are pulled to help.
Now is the most difficult time for a tavern, as a man must have his own responsibility, the more difficult it is, the more he must stay to prove his worth.
After all, the shopkeeper of Zhuang pulled them when they were going the wrong way, so that they didn't have to live a hungry and full life of thieves. You don't have to be kidnapped, you can have a serious job.
"Miss, why don't I help too?" February also wants to join the work team.
"Okay, you go to the backyard and sweep the floor in February." Jin Se commanded casually.
"Yes!" I went to work in February.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, a tavern has been renovated.
February finds Jinse alone and takes her to the backyard.
"Miss, I'll show you something. Don't be afraid. February put his arm around Jinse's waist.
"It's okay, I'm bold." Except for the dead, Jin Se didn't dare to look at it, there was nothing he didn't dare.
I saw that February's movement was light, and he took Jinse up to the wall in the backyard.
This is the wall connected to the back door, and Jin Se thinks it's fun to step on the cornice.
Although she doesn't know how to do light work, it feels interesting to be taken away. She has a lot of courage in modern playgrounds with roller coasters and jumping machines.
"Miss, look." February pointed to the footprints on the eaves not far away. The footprints were from a man's foot, "I just swept the yard and noticed that there was a lot of ash here, so I came up and took a look." Someone has come in here before! ”
This is a major discovery! This is the secret of how an unarmed carpenter got into a tavern.
He was brought in!
"You tell Jingzhao Mansion Yin the news and ask him to check the situation. Since someone brought a carpenter here, they must have come into contact with it, and maybe they will find out. Jin Se calmly analyzed.
Now the enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light.
Their goal was to bring down the business of a tavern. The biggest suspect in a case is naturally a motivated person. And if there is a tavern with no business, who is the biggest beneficiary?
Jin Se set his eyes on the Tianxiang Building opposite.
She decided to talk to Lie Yurou, and they fought with each other, and the last life involved touched Jinse's bottom line.
She is not afraid of a head-on conflict with Lie Yurou, on the one hand, since Lie Yurou is Li Haoyue's cousin, she is naturally a family with her. Although she couldn't say it, Lie Yurou was afraid that Li Haoyue wouldn't dare to make a ruthless move.
On the other hand, she knew that Lie Yurou was full of joy and anger on her face, and she was just the simplest person in her mind.
To be able to think of someone who can ruin the reputation of a tavern with dead people and gossip is not like Lieyurou. But Lie Yurou must know who it is!
Why does Jinse feel this way?
Because Lie Yurou had already peeked at this side in Tianxiang Building several times, if he wasn't a thief, why hide and hide.
However, recklessly missing the door will only startle the snake, so Jin Se decided to go with the backer. My brother didn't know why he went out of the city again, so Jin Se asked Zhou Zimu to go to Tianxianglou together.
Zhou Zimu just allocated a sum of money for disaster relief, and a murder occurred in Jinse. Such a thing happened at the feet of the emperor in the imperial capital, and Zhou Zimu attached great importance to it.
This is not only related to the business of Jinse Tavern, but also to the security of the Imperial Capital City. If everyone is in danger, how can we develop the economy?
Zhou Zimu and Jin Se went to Tianxianglou to learn the truth of the matter.
