Chapter 154: Fruitless

This son and this girl, but they came to my rice shop to buy rice? ”

"No, just to ask about something. I wonder if the shopkeeper can tell me in the next two? ”

Li Tai took out the broken silver from his arms, put it in front of the boss of the rice shop, and then gave Bai Zhi a place and let Bai Zhi speak.

"Things? I wonder what Childe and this girl want to know? I'm just a small rice shop, and I don't know much. ”

"It's okay boss, if the boss doesn't know, we won't force the old boss to give us an answer.

That's right, boss. I heard that the rice and noodles on the palace of Lord Wu in the west of the city were all bought from you, the boss? ”

"Inspector Yushi Wu-sama? Girl, do you mean Old Man Wu and they are in the house? If it is Old Man Wu, it is indeed as the girl said, he has always been buying things for the house in our rice shop.

It's just that Old Man Wu is in their house, and I heard that there was a fire a few days ago. His grandfather, Lord Wu, also died in the fire. It's a pity that this fire is merciless. ”

"Boss, do you know about the fire in Lord Wu's mansion?"

"Of course I know, I still remember clearly that the old man Wu was buying something from me that day, and when he was about to pay, a person came to shout at the old man Wu, and their house was on fire and the water was gone. Let him hurry back and see.

Old man Wu was scared to death at that time, and he didn't take the rice and noodles he bought, so he rushed back directly from me. He didn't come back for a few hours.

Later, I heard from people outside that there was really a fire in the Wu Mansion, and it also burned to death the old man's master, Lord Wu.

Thinking about Old Man Wu's reaction at that time, it should be very loyal to Lord Wu. Lord Wu's death, Old Man Wu is also very sad. ”

The boss said to Bai Zhi in a low tone, it seems that the boss is also a sentimental person. I can't see the death of innocent people.

"That's right. Boss, how long did Old Man Wu stay in your rice shop that afternoon? ”

"This, Old Man Wu usually takes a very long time to buy rice. Picky, to be honest, when Old Man Wu came to buy rice in the past, I had a headache.

Old man Wu is really picky, one person can pick one afternoon in our rice line, if it weren't for my good temper, I might have to drive Old Man Wu out many times.

Moreover, this old man Wu is still a person, in this Chang'an City, what kind of weather will be after half a moon, he knows everything. Every time I come to buy rice, I will babble on and on myself.

Sometimes I will mumble about what will rain in a few days, and I can't buy too much rice and noodles. Sometimes it's a big sun for a while, but you can buy a little more or something.

Anyway, this old man Wu is very accurate every time. I used to look at the amount of rice and noodles that Old Man Wu bought to guess the weather in the next few days.

I also talked to Old Man Wu before, but I didn't understand it, anyway, Old Man Wu has his own set of theories, which makes people feel very powerful.

Looking at the amount of rice and noodles that Old Man Wu bought when the fire started, I estimate that there will be rain in the next few days. This son and this girl, you should pay attention to bringing umbrellas when you go out these days. ”

Speaking of this old man Wu, the boss of Mi Xing gushed endlessly. spoke quickly and crackled at Bai Zhi and said a lot of things.

However, Bai Zhi didn't listen to it, and she only noticed what the boss said, this old man Wu stayed in Mixing for a long time on the day of the fire.

Then according to the boss's words, this old man Wu can't be the one who set the fire.

And to be honest, Bai Zhi was in the restaurant just now, and he only heard what Li Tai said, Old Man Wu seemed to be a person who practiced martial arts. That's when I suspected Old Man Wu.

But in fact, Old Man Wu did not have the motive to kill several overseers of the imperial history. At least until now, Angelica Angelica has not found that motive.

"Girl, is there anything else you'd like to ask?"

"No, nothing. Thanks to the boss. ”

"No thanks, no thanks, girl, and this son. Do you want to buy rice? The polished rice in my rice row is crystal clear, sweet and delicious. A pound only costs fifty five Kaiyuan Tongbao. The price is definitely the fairest in Chang'an City. ”

"No, boss. Now that we know what we want to know, we'll take our leave. Bai Zhi pulled Li Tai and left the rice line. Then Bai Zhi went back to the restaurant while looking down and thinking about the case.

"Bai Zhi, aren't you afraid of bumping into someone when you're walking with your head down?"

"Huh?"

"Haha, okay, so be it. You just keep your head down and think about things, and as for the road, leave it to me. ”

Li Tai suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Bai Zhi's two hands, and put them on his waist. Then he walked in front of him, letting Bai Zhi follow behind him. In this way, even if Bai Zhi walks with her head down, she will not be bumped.

Li Tai's proposal is not much, but it is on the street at this time. Bai Zhi's skin is not as thick as Li Tai's, how could he do such a thing on the street.

"Ahem, it doesn't have to be like this. When the time came, we stumbled back and forth on our feet, and it would not be good to fall together.

Besides, I used to have eye problems, and I couldn't see anything when I walked. At that time, I could also wander the streets by hearing and feeling.

Now that my eyes are better, I'm scared. Okay, I don't want to think about it for the time being, let's go back to the restaurant first. ”

"I see Bai Zhi, you have been inquiring about that old man Wu just now, do you think Old Man Wu is the murderer, Bai Zhi?

Or if you tell me what you think, let me hear it. Let's reason and reason together. After all, one person counts short, and two people count long."

"I was suspicious, but what the rice shop owner said made me uncertain. First of all, I think the fire in Lord Wu's mansion definitely didn't happen unintentionally.

Someone must have set it on fire. But according to what the owner of the rice shop said just now, that old man Wu could not be the one who set the fire in the Wu Mansion.

And Old Man Wu didn't have a reason to kill the four overseers of the imperial history. Maybe I thought in the wrong direction, and the murderer was not Old Man Wu at all. ”

"Bai Zhi, how did you come up with the idea of doubting Old Man Wu?"

"It's not what you said, Old Man Wu is a person who practices martial arts.

You also saw Lord Han's death yesterday at the scene, and my brother deliberately investigated the flying tile and the original roof of the tile after we left.

The result of the investigation was that almost all the tiles that flew towards Lord Han yesterday were very sharp, as if they had been deliberately sharpened to look like that. But the original roof of the tiles shows no signs of anyone going up to it.

So if those tiles were deliberately placed there, then that person should be a person with good martial arts. At least the light work is very good, and it can be done to put tiles on the roof without leaving a trace. ”
