Chapter 41: Inquiry (2)

Chen Jinbao then asked Jia Xu: "Then do you know the deceased under the bed?" ”

Jia Huo held the teacup in one hand and kept trembling, wiping the sweat from his forehead with the other. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The villain doesn't know him, the villain doesn't know when he went under the bed."

Chen Jinbao thought for a while, and then asked, "I don't know when I got under the bed?" Aren't you usually in the house?

Jia Shu replied: "My lord, the villain is a traveling merchant who has come here to do business, how can he be in the house all day long?" ”

Chen Jinbao looked at this trembling traveling businessman, looking left and right, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a murderer.

"When does the gentleman usually go out and when does he come back?"

Jia replied: "The villain goes out every day after washing his face and eating breakfast, and then comes back at lunchtime, eats and then takes a nap, and then goes out and comes back again at dinner." ”

Chen Jinbao nodded, and then asked, "Don't you go out after dinner?" ”

Jia Shu nodded.

Chen Jinbao then asked: "How long do you usually sleep during a nap?" ”

Jia Shu thought for a while, and then said: "Generally, after eating, I sleep until I wake up at four or five o'clock (two o'clock in the afternoon at four o'clock, and two and fifteen o'clock in the afternoon). ”

Chen Jinbao touched his chin and thought about it, and then asked, "I heard from the guy that you came the morning before yesterday." Did you go out early that morning after paying for the room? ”

Jia Shu nodded, took a sip of the teacup with a trembling hand, and then said: "Yes, my lord, the guy took the villain to see the house, and the villain thought it was not bad and stayed, and then took the things to buy and sell and went out." ”

Chen Jinbao nodded and then asked, "So did Mr. lock the door when he went out?" ”

Jia Shu replied: "The door must have been locked, the villain can confirm this." ”

Chen Jinbao looked at Jia Shu and thought about it, and asked curiously: "I heard that the things you sell are very rare and there are no Central Plains, can you show me." ”

Jia Shu smiled and said, "Of course you can, but I took it away from the few adults just now, saying that I wanted to search for something." ”

Chen Jinbao lowered his head and his face sank, and scolded in his heart: "Grandma's Ling Xianjie!" ”

After a while, Chen Jinbao raised his head with a smile on his face and said to Jia Xu: "Okay, Mr. trouble." Sir, rest well. ”

Jia Wei stood up and bowed to Chen Jinbao with a trembling body, and then Chen Jinbao and his apprentice left the room.

After coming out, Wang Fugui leaned into Chen Jinbao's ear and asked, "Master, do you think this person is a murderer?" ”

Chen Jinbao pouted and shook his head and said; "No, it's okay to be framed according to his life rules."

Wang Fugui bit his thumb, and then said: "Master, according to him, he will lock the door when he goes out, so the only one who has a key to open the door should be the shopkeeper." ”

"Uh-huh......."

Chen Jinbao nodded, and then said, "We have to go to find a guy again, specifically to ask about the key." ”

At this time, Ling Xianjie appeared in front of the two with an entourage.

"Lord Ling."

The two clasped their fists, but Ling Xianjie smiled as always and waved his hand.

"Haha, you don't have to be so stubborn. I'm here to ask you two if you have anything to ask? ”

Chen Jinbao replied: "According to this traveling merchant, he usually goes out to do business, and only comes back at lunch and dinner, and after lunch, he has to take a nap until about four o'clock before going out, and he doesn't come back until dinner, and he locks the door when he goes out." Xia Guan thought that generally only the guy or shopkeeper of the inn had the key to open the door, so he wanted to ask the guy or shopkeeper. ”

Ling Xianjie nodded with a smile, and then said, "Very good, the shopkeeper and the guy are watching in the lobby downstairs, so go and ask yourself." ”

"Thank you, Lord Ling!"

The two of them thanked Ling Xianjie and walked downstairs, Ling Xianjie kept watching the back of the two leaving, and then the entourage behind Ling Xianjie came to his ear.

"My lord, do you want to tell them the clues we know?"

Ling Xianjie looked serious, shook his head and said, "No, let the two of them check it on their own and see if they can find out there." These two people together are not as good as half of Zheng Qing, I really don't know what Zheng Qing thinks, so much importance of these two people. ”

The attendant continued, "My lord, shall we go and invite him again?" ”

Ling Xianjie shook his head again and said, "Don't use it now, wait until this is over." ”

At this time, a catcher quickly ran to Ling Xianjie and said, "My lord, I found it." ”

Ling Xianjie smiled at the catcher, and then said, "Very good, let's find a time to tell you about Chen Zhutou." ”

He then asked, "My lord, do you want to go and have a look?" ”

Ling Xianjie walked directly towards the house where the body was found, and said, "Go." ”

...........

Chen Jinbao's master and apprentice went downstairs and saw the guy and the shopkeeper each sitting at a table, each watched by the three catchers, and the shopkeeper was still complaining with a sad face.

When several catchers saw Chen Jinbao, they shouted: "Boss." ”

Chen Jinbao raised his hand and walked in front of the guy, who was about to stand up and worship, but was stopped by Chen Jinbao.

"Okay, sit down, I'm here to ask you."

The guy sat down, Chen Jinbao sat next to the guy, and asked, "Are you in charge of the key to your inn usually?" ”

The man replied, "Yes, sir." ”

Chen Jinbao nodded, looked around the inn again, and found that something was wrong.

"I'll take a look at it, are you the only guy in this inn?"

The guy nodded and said, "Yes, my lord, there is only one villain." ”

Chen Jinbao looked at this young man who was not very old and looked honest, and then asked, "Did you only ask one of your shopkeepers to come over?" ”

The man replied, "My lord, the shopkeeper is the villain's uncle and the villain came to him to make money, and he originally planned to invite three fellows, but the villain said that there is no need for only one villain, and let the uncle give the villain one of the three guys' wages." ”

Chen Jinbao looked back at this inn again, although it was not as big as the master's father-in-law, it was not small, there were about a dozen tables, and there were four guest rooms.

"It's definitely busy enough to work alone, why work so hard to make money?"

The guy scratched the back of his head, laughing and showing a shy expression.

"My lord, there is still a girl in the villain's family waiting for the villain to go back, and the villain told her that in five years, the villain will go home to marry her if he earns enough money, and it has been almost three years now."

Chen Jinbao looked at the appearance of this young man and smiled.

"How old are you?"

The man replied, "My lord, the little man is twenty years old." ”

"Oh, so you came out at seventeen?"

The man nodded and said, "Yes, my lord." ”

Chen Jinbao then asked: "So have you given the keys to the house to the two tenants upstairs?" ”
