Chapter 30: The Horror of the Inn (1)
CHAPTER XXXI
"What are you crazy about!" Cheng Da came back to his senses, and he had already heard the disdain of the people who came out of the second gate to hear the trial, and he was angry in his heart, so he directly reached out and pushed Zhao Liu away. But I didn't want to, this push directly pushed the person back, and then I saw that she was bleeding under her......
It was as if a farce was over, and Zhao Liu was hurriedly taken down to the lobby by Wen Po for treatment. And Cheng Da, who was extremely embarrassed, still knelt in the hall for trial. It's just that after some chaos, he once again shouted miserably that he was wronged, refused to admit his guilt, and only bit Zhao Liu to death in order to get rid of the crime and slander himself.
Xu Chu shook his head and said coldly: "If you hadn't been ruthless to hold Zhao Xiu'er hostage at that time, Xu I really couldn't find evidence to convict you, and you were afraid that you would be questioned after the incident, so you desperately pressed Zhao Xiu'er so that Zhao Liu would have a chance to get off the phone......"
"After Zhao Xiu'er died, she left the murderer's handprint on her body, whether it was you or not, as long as you are a pair, you will know."
Wu Laohan, who had been silent, took the handprint paper from Zhao Xiuer's body at this time, stepped forward and dragged Cheng Da's hands to compare, but saw Cheng Da curling up his hands desperately, and did not let Wu Laohan agree.
Xu Chu was bored with it, so he directly took the autopsy knife and pretended to slash it, and then pressed his palm on the drawing. Sure enough, the two are not the same......
In a moment, Cheng Da was stunned and didn't dare to move, even if he didn't listen to the judgment anymore, he knew that he was in a catastrophe. Suddenly, he was still arguing just now, and all his thoughts were discouraged and collapsed to the ground.
And Qin Xiucai, who had been trembling and afraid to speak, wiped a cold sweat and kowtowed hard at this time to thank the eldest master for his justice. He is a man who sits at home, and woe comes from heaven. If it weren't for Miss Xu and the eldest master's fiery eyes, I am afraid that I would really suffer from unjustified sorrow.
As soon as they retreated, everyone was still talking about this strange incident, and they all said that if it weren't for Xu Chu, I was afraid that Qin Xiucai would be unlucky. Before the crowd dispersed, he saw a man with a thick face and a thick waist hurrying over, Xu Chu saw that his feet and clothes were still covered with dust, and his face was sweating profusely, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
For a person like Zhao Tuhu, she didn't know whether to be angry or complain that he couldn't make up his mind, if it weren't for his indulgence, how could Zhao Liu dare to be so bitter? Even recklessly!
Compared to Zhao Liu's howling and crying, Zhao Butcher was the real sad at this time. He hugged Zhao Xiu'er's already cold corpse and choked up: "Sister, brother is back, brother brought you your favorite pea cake, which was just out of the pot by the old man in the country...... It's still hot......"
As he spoke, he wiped away a handful of tears and shuddered and took out a paper bag from his bosom that had been flattened.
"Sister, hurry up and take a look, brother is afraid of the cold and has been keeping it close to him."
"Sister, don't you think my brother is coming back late. Brother will not stay out overnight next time, brother knows that your sister-in-law is always bullying you, and when you go back, brother will divorce her, you hurry up, let's go home. The tall man began to sob again as he spoke.
He doesn't often spend the night outside on weekdays, except yesterday when he was tripped by a sick pig. He actually understands in his heart what kind of character his daughter-in-law is, but when he thinks of himself as a big man, many things are inconvenient, and his sister has reached the age when he should say goodbye, so he thinks about putting up with it, so that there is a woman in the family who can take charge of things, and he can give his sister a good in-law in the future.
It's not that he didn't think about divorce his wife and remarry, but once he is a butcher, it is difficult to say that he is the daughter of a good family. Moreover, every time he goes out, there is only a little sister in the family, and he is really not at ease, although Zhao Liu's is spicy, he can protect the family from those ruffians who come to the door to make trouble, and it can scare some ill-intentioned people far away from their sisters.
But he did a lot of calculations, but he didn't count that Zhao Liu himself was the one who harbored evil intentions.
Zhao Butcher gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but cry like rain as he spoke. The Zhao family's father and mother died early, and he was a half-old boy, pulling Zhao Xiu'er, who could only stagger, to beg for a living, and when he was young, he was an apprentice and could barely fill his stomach.
He even remembered one winter, when the weather was so cold, that several beggars froze to death in the small ruined temple where they lived. At that time, Xiu'er was frozen and coughed, and he was afraid that the little man would not be able to survive, so he covered the little Xiu'er on his stomach day and night to keep warm......
Later, Xiu'er learned to do some embroidery work, and every time she got a copper plate, she was reluctant to spend it herself, and she saved up and said that she wanted to buy a house for his eldest brother.
Now they have bought a house, shelter from the wind and rain, and a butcher's shop. I thought that in a few days, I would find a good in-law for my sister-in-law, and the days would be at the top. He didn't fulfill people's wishes, and let his sister die.
Zhao Xiuer's tragic death made this man grief-stricken, and he just wanted to take out the best, so he begged Zhao Xiuer to open his eyes.
In the autopsy room, there were constant mournings. Outside the autopsy room, Xu Chu's heart was also obscure.
When the sun is shining, the autumn wind rises, the shadows of the trees on the left and right are swaying, and the withered yellow leaves fall all over the ground. Somehow, Xu Chu's heart suddenly hurt, as if he had been stabbed.
When she left again, she didn't alarm anyone, only said that the jade pendant and token that Xiao Qinglang had given her before put it down, leaving a few words of goodbye on the rice paper.
Sometimes, she can't tell her mind clearly, the subtle ripples born of fit and admiration. But she knew that she had no intention of getting involved in the complicated battles in the back house, and she only wanted to perform an autopsy to solve the case in her life, not to consume a voice in the infighting in the back house for a good feeling.
When he went home, because he had a reward in his hand and was anxious, Xu Chu specially hired a carriage. However, this carriage was not as luxurious and comfortable as Xiao Qinglang, and the bumps along the way made Xu Chu suffer a lot.
She hugged some tonic medicine she bought for her father from Yunzhou City and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This is really easy to go from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift......"
The carriage was not very fast, and it was half a day's journey. At night, she and the groom had to find an inn on the side of the road.
It was dusk, and it was dark, and it looked like it was going to rain. Xu Chu knew that he was alone and in the wilderness, so he was not suitable for traveling overnight. It was also thanks to the fact that the horseman was a simple old man, and had no objection to her idea of resting for the night.
The two searched all the way, and found a seemingly inconspicuous inn on the official road not far from Cangyan County.
The name of the inn is very strange, it is called the Furong Inn. However, the two of them looked left and right, and they didn't see any other place to live temporarily, so they simply stepped in.
As soon as I entered the inn, it was raining lightly outside, even if it was not majestic, but it was enough to make the wet pedestrians shiver in the autumn wind.
Inside the door was a simple hall, with a few tables, chairs and benches, and the counter was a little dilapidated, with some worn corners. Look, it's like something that's been used for decades.
What was out of place in this creaking and creaking place was that there was a beautiful female shopkeeper standing at the counter. Rao is a woman, Xu Chu also had to sigh that the other party is really a good color, but he is in his thirties, but his eyebrows are full of charm. A little rouge foam, lip fat and moisturizing, it can not be said that it is not a beauty in the world.
is as eye-catching as that beauty, but there is also the gorgeous and exquisite dress on her body. A woman in her thirties, looking at her posture, has already given birth, but she still dresses fancy, behaves frivolously, and speaks generously and heartily, and if she says something ugly, it is a little dazzling.
However, Xu Chu has never cared about what she doesn't want to do, she just passed by the hotel. Whether the beautiful female shopkeeper is amorous and unruly, or has a bold and eager temperament, it has nothing to do with her.
"Yo, are you two sharpening or staying in the hotel?" When the female shopkeeper saw that business came to the door, she raised the red silk handkerchief in her hand with a smile, and shouted at the back, "Shun'er, a guest is coming, hurry up and come and greet you." ”
The groom was a kind man, and when he saw the female shopkeeper's ridicule, he was already red-faced and didn't know where to look. On the contrary, Xu Chu smiled and said: "Shopkeeper, we are going to stay in your store for one night, please open two guest rooms, and send some meals later." ”
Hearing that Xu Chu wanted to break the bill, the groom waved his hand again and again and said: "Girl, don't break the bill, it's not easy to go out to earn money, I'll just make up for one night in the carriage." ”
"Uncle, don't excuse me, it's already raining outside, and I can't stop looking at the posture for a while. In the carriage outside, I'm afraid I'm going to get cold, so you just have to rest for the night, keep your spirits up, and make more trips tomorrow, and let me get home early. ”
As they spoke, they heard the sound of kicking and stomping from the backyard, and then the two saw a man with a sash pinned to the corner of his coat and a yellow face opening the curtain. The man seemed to be doing some work in the backyard, or his feet were wet and sticky from the rain.
The person who came was Shunzi, the guy from the Furong Inn, and I saw him sick and bent on his back, walking and kicking and trampling the whole person lifeless. Seeing Xu Chu and the others, he just said to Mu Ran: "Come with me." ”
Xu Chu squinted slightly, and quietly glanced at the female shopkeeper who was settling accounts and the Shunzi who led the way in front, and then followed with the groom. Because the two of them are going to live in the hotel, they need to go to the second floor of the inn.
Because it has been here for some years, the staircase seems to be in disrepair, creaking when walking, and occasionally encountering a place where it has collapsed.
"Two guest officers, we are no better than other places, we can't go out after dark, and we can't move around at will. If there is something wrong, you two can say hello in advance, and there will be no one waiting for us at the inn after dark. Junko bent over and said in a hoarse and gloomy voice, "There is a mass grave behind the inn, and there are many lonely graves nearby, and I have never ......lived in peace at night."
