Chapter 62: The Missing
Yongan County Ya.
The wind is surging, and it seems familiar.
In Gu Changqing's room, a large amount of sunlight squeezed in through the cracks in the door through the window, hitting his face and hitting every corner of the room.
"How's the investigation going?" Gu Changqing put down the pen and paper in his hand and asked in a muttered voice.
"There have been five missing people in the city recently!" Jiancheng replied in a low voice, "However, according to my investigation, there is a person who escaped because of debt collection and his whereabouts are unknown, two people were detained by the county government of Lincheng because of gathering crowds to instigate fights, and one is an old man, it is said that his head is not very useful, and he has not been found if he is lost!" ”
Gu Changqing raised his head, his eyes seemed to be filled with fog, "What about the last one?" ”
Jiancheng shouted outside, "Come in?!" Then a man in a black cardigan entered, about fifty years of age, with wrinkles on his forehead undulating like mountains.
His eyes were cool, not as dirty as ordinary people of his age, he glanced at Gu Changqing, and then said, "Lord Gu, the situation is like this. I am the shopkeeper and old bookkeeper of the Chengbei Tavern, the boss of my house is called Zhao Bingli, he has not been to the tavern for six or seven days, I went to his house to look for it, but there was no one! ”
"Could it be that your boss went out to play and didn't tell you?!" Gu Changqing said.
"No, I've been to my boss's house, and he has all his things, and he hasn't taken any of them with him, so it doesn't look like he's going out at all."
Gu Changqing got up and nodded, "Okay, you said that the boss left six or seven days ago?" So think about what was wrong with him before he left? ”
The old bookkeeper thought for a while and said, "Yes, my boss seems to have changed recently, and about ten days ago, my boss suddenly asked me to take all the money in the account to him. I just thought he had lost his gambling and was going to pay off his debts!
After all, I'm just a bookkeeper, and I don't want to ask for superfluous things, so I'll give it to him, but the next morning when he returned to the tavern again, he always smirked like he had picked up a treasure, and I never saw him like this, so I asked casually, who would think, he asked me directly, how much silver could he exchange for in this tavern? ”
Speaking of this, Gu Changqing was also slightly surprised, judging from the current development status of Yong'an City, the business of both restaurants and taverns is very good, and this Zhao Bingli wants to sell the tavern in such a situation, is he really short of money?
"And what else did he say?" Gu Changqing asked suspiciously.
So he asked, and said nothing until the day before he disappeared, and told me that I should find another place.
Thinking about it this way, it is very likely that he has already sold the title deed property when he says this. The old bookkeeper sighed, "I've been in this tavern for more than ten years, and I was there when the old boss was still there, and now I'm still a little uncomfortable!" ”
"Zhao Bingli must need a lot of money to sell the tavern suddenly, so as far as you know, does he often go to places like gambling halls? Or is he being blackmailed, or is he seriously ill or something?! ”
The old bookkeeper thought for a while and said, "My little boss is only twenty-eight or nineteen years old this year, and he looks more alive than anyone else on weekdays, and he can't see where there is a disease, gambling hall, this is my guess, I haven't seen him go there, let alone heard him talk about it!" I haven't heard of being blackmailed! ”
Gu Changqing suddenly smiled helplessly, "Then how are you little bosses usually doing people?" Is there an enemy or something?! ”
The old bookkeeper shook his head, his eyes were determined, "No, although our little boss is not as kind and benevolent as his father, he is not a gangster, and he usually manages the tavern with all his heart, and he has never behaved so strangely."
This tavern was left by the old boss, and he also said that he wanted to expand the scale and make it a restaurant or something, the enemy, open the door to do business, and there was a normal quarrel, but if you count the enemy, I really can't think of anyone?! ”
"Then do you know who Zhao Bingli finally sold this tavern to? Did you get the money? ”
The old bookkeeper shook his head helplessly, "That day he hurriedly went out with his things, and I didn't have time to ask anything." I don't even know if the tavern was actually sold, and now it's just going on with business! The old bookkeeper paused, "Master Gu, you said that nothing will happen to this little boss of my family!" ”
"I can't say for sure, by the way, is there a shopkeeper in your tavern?"
The old bookkeeper nodded, "Yes, there is one, named Miao Qing!" ”
"Okay, Chengcheng, you will send someone to bring the shopkeeper over in a while, and let the two of them identify whether that person is Zhao Bingli or not!" After Tongcheng finished explaining, Gu Changqing turned around and comforted, "Don't worry, old man, when Miao Qing comes, I will confirm some things with you!" ”
Gu Changqing poured him a cup of tea and handed it over, "By the way, I forgot to ask about something just now, but your little boss has a family?" ”
The old bookkeeper shook his head, "I haven't married a wife yet." ”
"So, is there a good woman?"
The old bookkeeper shook his head again, "I've never heard him talk about it, the adults asked like this, just think that the little boss's disappearance has something to do with women?" ”
Gu Changqing also nodded without hesitation, "Just now you said that Zhao Bingli and you asked for money always smirked alone after leaving and coming back, and after coming back, he also said that he wanted to exchange the tavern!"
A man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, without a family, what do you say can make him like this?! ”
The old bookkeeper patted his head excitedly, "Why didn't you think of it?" The little boss smiled that day, and he really looked like he was confused by a woman! ”
Gu Changqing smiled bitterly, "Then think about it again, he has a woman close to him, maybe he wants to exchange the tavern for that woman?" ”
"No, the little boss is not the kind of person who is in a ruddy nature, and I haven't seen which woman he is close to, let alone who he wants to marry!" The old bookkeeper hesitated and said, "If this is really the case, this woman should have only recently met or confirmed the relationship!" ”
Gu Changqing nodded appreciatively and said, "This official thinks the same way, but there are more important things that you need to do right now!" ”
From time to time, Jiancheng knocked on the door again and walked in, "Master Gu, Miao Qing has been brought!" ”
Although the dried corpse found this morning is not unrecognizable, it is so similar that it is not recognizable to anyone who is not close to it.
Since he has already set his target on Zhao Bingli, and he has no family, the only people close to him who he contacts all day long should be these two people in the tavern.
What one person may not be sure of, two people should have a greater grasp.
The two were led to the morgue, where the cold air was blowing in their faces, and people couldn't help but shiver.
Gu Changqing pulled the white cloth placed on the corpse down slightly, and then said, "The two of you, please identify, this person is the missing Zhao Bingli?" ”
