Chapter 25 The Gathering of the Red Mansion
"What to look for? You're so sure, I don't want to do this useless work again! Yan Mu said dissatisfiedly, "That means that you already have a frown in this case?" So how are you going to check it next?! ”
"I didn't think about it!" Gu Changqing shrugged, "But I'm a little hungry and want to eat a good meal!" It's up to you to do it or not? ”
"Again I please?" Yan Mu's jaw dropped in surprise.
"There's no way, who made me so little, I was eaten twice by you, and it won't be gone!" Gu Changqing said in a helpless tone, but his steps were raised very quickly.
Yan Mu resolutely caught up, "Where are you going to eat today?" ”
"Ju Red Mansion!" Gu Changqing said without changing his face, but he didn't see Yan Mu secretly touching his wallet.
When the two of them appeared in front of the door of the Juhong Mansion again in a trance, they suddenly understood what it meant to plummet, the once crowded Juhong Mansion can now only be regarded as a door, the shopkeeper looked at the door and sighed, and even the shopkeeper was lying on the table one by one as salted fish.
"What, you're not going to open yet?" Yan Mu walked in beforehand, glanced at him casually, and Gu Changqing sat down opposite him!
"Opening, opening." The shopkeeper walked over with a smile and said flatteringly, "Master Gu, what do you want to eat today?" ”
"Hey, hey, shopkeeper, I paid for it today, why don't you ask me?" Yan Mu said dissatisfied.
The shopkeeper smiled embarrassedly, "Yan Gongzi said he was laughing!" What are you doing today? The charcoal roasted suckling pigeon prepared today is good, do you want one? ”
Yan Mu pursed his lips and shook his hand, "My son is a vegetarian today!" ”
Gu Changqing really couldn't bear to watch the shopkeeper stand in place awkwardly, and said casually, "You can just have a few dishes!." ”
The shopkeeper got the order to go down, and he was reluctant to talk to Gu Changqing, he didn't want to pay attention to this group of people who ignored him!
Juhonglou, where there were no guests, was served unexpectedly quickly, and from time to time a plate of crispy chicken, a plate of torn elbows, and a plate of spicy fried prawns were served.
Yan Mu looked at this plate in front of him, and couldn't help laughing, "Shopkeeper, are you angry with me today?" I said I'm a vegetarian, you get me a table of meat dishes! ”
The shopkeeper is also a person who has experienced great events, looking at Yan Mu's smiling appearance, he also knew that he was joking, so he said, "Young Master Yan, you are underestimating us." We know what you like to eat. ”
Yan Mu snorted coldly and said, "Okay, don't be a sycophant, but you're going to go on like this?" If there are no guests, won't the boss clean you up? ”
"What can I do then? I didn't kill this dead person, even if the boss blames me, he can't blame me! The shopkeeper smiled helplessly, "There's no way, so I have to ask Lord Gu to bother more, if this murderer is caught, it will give us an innocence." You know, what I'm afraid of when I open my door to do business is that this one is not clear! Now it's spread everywhere, and if people die with us, we will kill them! ”
"Don't worry. If you can't get out for three or four days, we will definitely give you a clean slate? Yan Mu patted his chest and said.
"What innocence? I didn't say that. Gu Changqing raised his head innocently and muttered.
"Master Gu, don't you dare to say this, don't you mean to say that there is really a murderer here?" The shopkeeper said quickly, he was already on the cusp, and he was even more frightened into a cold sweat at this time!
"This dish tastes good, but it's a little bit fresh? Do you have a thatched house? Gu Changqing asked as if he hadn't heard the shopkeeper's words.
"Yes, yes, you can see it when you go out the back door and turn right!" The shopkeeper pointed to the back door and said.
After Gu Changqing walked out, he didn't go to the thatched house, but walked around the backyard of the Juhong Mansion.
The backyard of Juhonglou, like the backyard of most cooking restaurant businesses, is full of miscellaneous items, and there is not even a place to stay.
He simply walked around twice and walked under the poplar tree in the backyard of the Juhong Building, which was tied with a rope at that time.
It was early autumn, the breeze was gentle, the shadows of the trees were fluttering, and especially the lacquer-like leaves that resembled peach hearts brought people to a wonderful scene.
Gu Changqing stood under the tree for a while, the tree was very tall, the trunk was tall and straight, but it happened to be half a zhang away from the roof, and it began to fork, like four outer branches.
Gu Changqing had looked at the entire backyard, and there was nothing like a ladder, so no matter who Su Qiming was brought to the roof, he couldn't go up directly, so there were only two possibilities.
One is to climb a tree, and the other is to climb up from the outer edge of the Juhong Building. The first one does not seem to be very easy to achieve, and the poplar variety is different from the others, its trunk is clean and neat, and there are no branches that can make people stand on it.
Gu Changqing was about to turn over and jump to the junction of the first and second floors of the Juhong Mansion when a voice suddenly sounded, "Lord Gu, what are you going to do?" ”
It was the second child of Juhong Mansion who spoke, young and innocent.
Gu Changqing put down his embarrassed feet in the air and smiled, "Let me ask you, do you have salt bags here?" ”
Facing Gu Changqing's question, Xiao Er was a little confused, and he stayed in place for a long time before saying, "There are salt bags, but I just don't know what Lord Gu wants you to do?" ”
"I'm just asking, by the way, is your table salt a pure official salt?"
Xiao Er nodded, "Master Gu, don't worry, the salt is pure from the official family." ”
"How much does that go in at that time?"
The shopkeeper thought for a while, "It's not much, it's only one bag at a time!" It can be used for a long time! ”
"A bag?" Gu Changqing thought about it suspiciously, at that time, on the rope that connected the deceased's foot and neck and the poplar trunk, Gu Changqing saw the salt marks on the rope very obviously.
Yong'an City is not near the sea, although the rope is a little thick, but it is not a sea rope for ships, so in this case, he guessed that this rope should be a rope tied to a salt bag, which is why so many salt grains are left in the gap of the rope!
But since the murderer chose to hang the person with such a thing, but at the same time, in order not to make himself look a little abrupt and eye-catching with the rope in the crowd, there are three possibilities, one is that the murderer is in this Juhong Mansion, one is that the rope is in Juhonglou, and the third is that it contains the first two possibilities.
"By the way, on the day of the crime, did you lose anything here, the kind of rope used for big objects? Especially the one tied to the salt bag? Gu Changqing asked.
The shopkeeper had already been stunned by Gu Changqing, and shook his head at this time.
The shopkeeper who came to hear the sound heard Gu Changqing ask, patted his head and said, "Master Gu, I remember."
What you're looking for is a rope that's not covered in salt. I remember that our boss of the loser threw a good rope in the empty salt bag. ”
