Chapter 62: Master Pei investigates the case barefoot
For Master Pei, who can still think calmly in this situation, Jing Wan'er couldn't help but feel a little more emotional.
It's really worth calling an adult. Thinking about it, she turned her face and said, "But if you dance together, how can you control the time?" ”
Is it shouting one, two, three, jumping, or looking for some better slogan?
Pei Tan is now standing on a high place and looking at the mountains, fortunately, there is no one on this street, otherwise the appearance of Master Pei standing barefoot on the wall is afraid that he will defeat all the hot spots at the moment and become the first news in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.
Pei Tan took a breath, suddenly stretched out his hand and clasped the wrist of the girl next to him.
The girl's body stiffened slightly at that moment.
There was no one, two, three, and no slogan, Pei Tan's hand was slightly forced, and he said, "Let's jump." ”
Jing Wan'ermu's stunned body had already jumped down, and when she was conscious the next moment, she was already rolling with the haystack.
Both of them got up from the haystack in embarrassment, both of them were stained with grass ash, and the little image left before was gone.
Jing Wan'er lowered her head and patted her skirt, and next to her, Pei Tan jumped off the haystack first, and looked at the courtyard.
Jing Wan'er slowly walked up from behind him, her eyes fixed on the devastated courtyard.
"There's a door in the backyard to get into the lobby." Here Jing Wan'er had already figured out the previous hiding, she looked at Pei Tan and nodded.
Now Jing Wan'er led the way and found the door in the backyard, and when she opened it, it was an empty lobby with a faint residual smell of alcohol in the air.
Just when Jing Wan'er raised her foot to go in, she was stopped by Pei Tan: "Try not to leave footprints." ”
This entire restaurant can be regarded as the scene of the crime, and it stands to reason that not only footprints should be left, but not a single hair should be left.
But in order to search, the two can only do expediency.
I saw Jing Wan'er lingering by the door for a while, and quickly raised her feet, took off her dirty socks from her feet, and threw them by the door.
The girl carried her skirt and two small bare feet, and stepped into the lobby floor.
Although the people of Datang are open, women are no longer as restrained as they were in the previous dynasty, but the slender feet of the daughter's family are still secretive, and how can they be exposed easily.
Jing Wan'er turned around at this time, "Won't the adults come in?" ”
The girl's generous appearance seemed to be unimpressed.
Pei Tan slowly bent down and took off the socks on both feet one after another. A moment also walked in.
Looking at Pei Tan, who finally walked in, Jing Wan'er walked around the lobby first and said, "My lord, should we go directly to the second floor, or stay here to search first." ”
The third floor is the scene of the crime, and the appearance of this lobby, with tables and chairs, it can be imagined that when the deceased jumped from the third floor, the guests on the first floor must have taken advantage of the situation to disperse. The loss suffered by Zichan'er and his wife is more than a little wine money.
Pei Tan was barefoot, feeling that there seemed to be a faint trace of moisture on the ground.
They brought people to search here before, and what they felt was completely different from being alone in the restaurant at the moment.
Pei Tan walked to a table and helped up the chair that had fallen to the ground.
Jing Wan'er also came to her side, and the wine on this floor was full of friends. The staircase was in the most conspicuous part of the lobby, and the deceased had been seen going up to the third floor alone, and he was afraid that there were countless pairs of eyes. People can't help but wonder if there was a person who showed concern for the deceased at that time, would there be one less unjust soul in this world who died with regret.
Just as he was thinking like this, Pei Tan's eyes were fixed on a table.
There are no less than dozens of tables and chairs in this entire lobby, and after some tossing, it is even more chaotic, which is why the table is a little conspicuous.
Jing Wan'er was still looking for evidence, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Pei Tan walking towards the corner, and couldn't help but shout: "My lord? ”
Pei Tan saw the table placed in the corner, and next to this table were placed four chairs, and the four chairs were neatly filled around the table.
At first glance, neither the table nor the surrounding chairs have been used.
Pei Tan glanced at it again, and in the entire lobby, there were probably four or five tables and chairs that had not been used like this.
So it doesn't look like there's anything unusual about this table.
Jing Wan'er came to Pei Tan's side, glanced at it, and immediately understood: "This chair in front of the window was pushed in later. ”
A clear track on the ground can be seen.
There had been a man sitting at the table, but when he was gone, he had put the chair upright.
When do guests who indulge in drinking in restaurants talk about etiquette like this?
Jing Wan'er suddenly approached the table and sniffed lightly.
"There was no taste at all, and the man was not only sitting here, but he didn't even take a sip of wine."
What kind of person is this, who comes to a restaurant and doesn't drink, or even sits in the corner like this, doing nothing?
Jing Wan'er couldn't help but look at Pei Tan: "What do adults think?" ”
No one knows who was sitting here before, and it is unknown whether any of the many guests ever noticed this table. Even if the two of them are standing in front of this table at this moment, all they can have is just speculation.
"Let's go up to the third floor." Pei Tan said softly.
Wan'er followed, because they were barefoot, the two of them were not walking very fast, and the old wooden planks of the stairs had already been stepped on hundreds of times, and even barefoot made a creaking sound.
Both of them quietly stepped into the low splendor of the third floor, and it was no wonder that there would never be a hedonistic and indulgent drinker in such a gloomy place.
Maybe it's really the poor and destitute who come here.
"Adults don't believe that the man jumped on his own, at least he doesn't think it's as simple as it seems, do they?" Jing Wan'er couldn't help but look at Pei Tan.
Pei Tan glanced at her: "Even if it's a very simple case, sometimes something will be missed." ”
No one said that if you see through the situation at a glance, you don't need to think about it, but the simpler something is, the more simple the reason behind it.
Especially in Dali Temple, which is in charge of the world's criminal prison cases.
As an official in Dali Temple, it is better to say that the negligence and neglect of any clue is an irreparable mistake that may be caused.
The third floor is still the same, only a lone table is placed, and even the windows are narrower than the downstairs, but it is enough for a person to jump from the third floor.
At the moment, that window is also closed.
Pei Tan walked over and gently pushed open the window. Jing Wan'er was surprised, and couldn't stop it: "My lord..."
Under the window, there is a flow of people wearing breathing, and Pei Tan is so easy to be seen.
Pei Tan stood by the window, which he had done before, and the view of the window could see all the vendors coming and going on the street.
Jing Wan'er still came to her uneasily: "My lord, in case..."
Before she could finish speaking, Pei Tan's eyes looked faintly into the distance: "Why worry, who cares?" ”
Jing Wan'er couldn't help pursing her lips, and her gaze fell on the crowd downstairs again.
Everyone was coming and going in a hurry, except for the numb look of life on their faces, occasionally someone raised their heads and saw Pei Tan and her in the window, and their eyes were also empty, and they didn't even know if they really recognized them.
In such a situation, who cares who someone else is, or who the person upstairs is...
Even though the Moon Tower was sealed by the government, no one would care. How much does a restaurant have to do with itself, if it is not sealed, his life of doing nothing will not change.
At most, the drinkers were good drinkers, and they resolutely went to another restaurant that was open for business.
In this way, what a ruthless but real Chang'an.
After Pei Tan looked at it for a long time, he left from the window. Obviously, even if some of these numb people had seen the dead in front of the window, how the dead man wandered in despair, it was only when his blood was actually splashed on the ground that people really saw him.
Jing Wan'er hurriedly closed the window, even if the people wouldn't pay attention to them, but in case Jin Wuwei, who was patrolling the city, saw it, the restaurant that had been sealed was suddenly more people, and this person was still the dignified Dali Siqing himself...
I really don't even have to think about it.
"Do you know Wei Xiang, why are you in such a hurry?" Pei Tan suddenly looked at the girl.
The girl also looked at him, but her eyes did not show understanding.
Pei Tan looked at somewhere in the void: "Because in three days, it will be the top three hand-picked names." ”
Who can represent the glory of the Tang Dynasty.
