"On the same day as the crime?" exclaimed Chang Yi.

Ling Che just listened quietly and fell into deep thought.

"Master Tao didn't expect that just the death of a fugitive would alarm so many people, so he asked everyone to investigate the case of the deceased Lin An as soon as possible, and Chen Fan's case was also suppressed, and no one cared about it in the prison so far. Feng Shun grabbed his hair, looked at the reactions of the two and asked puzzledly: "Brother Chang is so surprised, do you suspect that the two cases are related?"

"Haven't you ever doubted it?" Chang Yi was surprised.

Feng Shun shook his head, "It's really not, after all, one is a homicide, the other is a theft, and that Chen Fan's character is not good, so no one doubts his grievances." If you hadn't asked, I would have forgotten about Chen Fan. ”

Chang Yi sighed a pity, looked up, it was dark, and it seemed that he could only go to prison tomorrow.

Tianxiang Inn is still as deserted as in the morning, even if the palm lamp is depressed and silent.

The guy was not there, only the shopkeeper Chen was in front, and when he saw the three of them coming back again, he was very uneasy to greet him, and pulled Feng Shuntao closely, "Feng Zhukuai, are you doing it for Xiao'er's case?"

"Well, sort of!" Feng Shun glanced at Chang Yi and got a look of confirmation from Chang Yi. "Actually, we want to go to the deceased's room and have another look. ”

Shopkeeper Chen took out the key to the guest room without saying a word, looked around for the figure of the guy Liu Qi but didn't see anyone, and looked at the three of them embarrassedly, "Here, the guy doesn't know where to run and be lazy, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea first?"

"No, we've been to the second floor to know which room it is. Ling Che didn't want to delay.

Chang Yi could see that Shopkeeper Chen had something to say, so he rolled his eyes and had an idea, "Master, why don't you go up with Shunzi and have a look, and I will stay and talk to Shopkeeper Chen?"

Ling Che agreed, "It's okay, there are just some things I want to ask Shopkeeper Chen." ”

Before going up, Feng Shun guessed Chang Yi's intentions and stuffed the key to her.

Shopkeeper Chen has been rubbing his palms nervously from the side, and after Chang Yi sat down, he hurriedly served tea, and stood aside to greet him with a smile, "This Lord Catcher, may I ask, when will Master Tao pass through the court?"

Chang Yi had to reply politely and perfunctorily before figuring out whether the two cases were connected: "Ling Lang's case will be tried by Master Tao as soon as possible, but before the trial, there are some questions I want to ask Shopkeeper Chen." ”

"Although this master of catching fast asks, the small one must know everything, and if it is a silver problem, the small one will prepare as soon as possible. Chang Yi said anything, Shopkeeper Chen nodded yes, and in the end, he took out a silver ingot from his arms with some trembling and wanted to give it to Chang Yi secretly.

In the face of the silver, Chang Yi secretly swallowed his saliva but showed an unmoved look, and pushed the money back, "Shopkeeper Chen misunderstood, investigating the case and restoring the truth is to do the work of catching fast, under the surname Chang, you can call me Chang to catch fast, that adult can't afford it." He took out a small notebook, borrowed the pen and ink from the store, and said seriously: "If you want Lang Shao to suffer in prison, you must answer my question seriously." Because the nature of these questions may determine the rest of Chen Fan's life. ”

The shopkeeper Chen met the catcher who didn't charge money for the first time, and after listening to her words, he nodded busily, very grateful, "Don't worry, the little old man must be true." ”

"I heard that on the night of the crime, Ling Lang went to your room to get money but failed, and was beaten by you?"

"Yes, he didn't know who he provoked that day, and when he came back with a blue nose and swollen face, he went to my room to steal money. Originally, I wouldn't have found out, but the chef came to me to borrow the key to the backyard freezer, and his key couldn't be found, so I took the key for him to find that mine was also missing...... "Shopkeeper Chen was also heartbroken for his son."

Chen Fan is an out-and-out gentleman, not only spending all day drinking, but also yelling at the people in the store, if it weren't for the face of the shopkeeper Chen, the people in the store would have wanted to teach him a good lesson, anyway, it is not very popular.

Chang Yi nodded and wrote it down, then asked, "Then later, did you find the key?"

"No, it's already autumn, and I don't usually use ice in the freezer, but it's just that the heat is unusually hot that some guests want to eat some chilled fruit. ”

"Take a look, but this one?" Chang Yi took out the key Feng Shun gave her with a little hesitation and handed it to Shopkeeper Chen to take a closer look.

Shopkeeper Chen recognized it at a glance, "That's it, but, why are you here?"

"This is what we found in the house of your other buddy, He San, however, this cannot be returned to you at the moment, and this is a piece of evidence of He San's murder for the time being. Chang Yi put the key away again.

Shopkeeper Chen was surprised, "He San is dead?"

"Yes, he was killed at home in the morning, and the murderer is currently at large. At the mention of He San, Chang Yi thought about it and asked, "How much do you know about He San, do you know anything about other people in the store?"

"He San, this kid is so lazy to cook, he doesn't get stuck in the back kitchen. On the contrary, Liu Qi, who came three years ago, is much better than him, and he gets along well with the people in the back kitchen, and he also knows a little about medical science. When it comes to He San, Shopkeeper Chen is very embarrassed, but when it comes to Liu Qi, Shopkeeper Chen is full of praise, and the other people in the back kitchen are all old people who gave this Shopkeeper Chen at the beginning of the store, and they are very responsible.

Three years ago......

Chang Yi smiled quietly, looked upstairs and asked, "May I ask if Ling Lang usually lives here? Which room does he live in? Where does the guest who had his money stolen live that day? Where do the back kitchen and his buddies live?"

Shopkeeper Chen pointed to the second room in the north corner of the second floor for Chen Fan, and pointed to the guest room next to Lin An's guest room and said that it was the room of the money-losing guest, the guy He San has his own home, and he usually does not stay in the store, Liu Qi and the people in the back kitchen generally live in the backyard, "But on the day of the crime, He San's kid also stayed in the backyard, and beat Liu Qi early in the morning, because of what is not clear." ”

This conversation made Chang Yi feel that he had gained a lot, and some vague clues gradually surfaced.
