CHAPTER XLVII
The sunny days are finally over, if there is a powerful satellite cloud map in this era, then it will definitely broadcast a cold air from Siberia to the south on the weather forecast, affecting the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China, the fine weather is over, and the Spring Festival is about to usher in continuous rain and snow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, in this era, there was only a record of weather forecasting, that is, only after the weather phenomenon actually occurred, and then it was written down, which was very useful for later generations to study the weather phenomenon at that time, but for the residents at that time, it was just a boring act of hindsight, and it was not helpful at all.
Therefore, for the residents of the town, the intuitive feeling is that the north wind has been blowing for several days, and finally on this day, the lead clouds are low, and the light rain begins to fall non-stop in the early morning, and the bluestone road is very slippery and wet by the rain, and the stones are somewhat damaged, and a small trace of water soon accumulated.
The person who rushed by stepped on it, and with the lifting and falling of his footsteps, he threw the stagnant water on his trouser leg, and accidentally wet half of his pants.
The person who hurried by was Zhao Jiachangyu's buddy.
Today he was in charge of opening the shop in the morning, and when he opened the door of the Changyu with the smooth copper key as usual, he was shocked to find that the shop that was still neat when he left last night seemed to have suffered a fire, and the paper was burned to fly ash on the wooden counter
Thief! This was his first reaction, and he hurried to the account room and the place where some valuable goods were stored, and it was okay not to look at it, but this look was even more shocking, and in front of the door of the warehouse was a guy in the business who was facing the sky upside down, and it was strange that he said at noon yesterday that there was something at home, and he took leave and left. I didn't see him until the end of the night, why did he die here.
The guy who opened the door in the morning was so frightened that he ran out on the spot and went straight to the security brigade, arriving earlier than Feng Dayong, Feng Dayong had a fritter in his mouth, a big bowl of salted soy milk in his hand, and walked from home to the direction of the security brigade in one step, and he didn't even see the door number of the security brigade, he saw a figure flying towards him, and he was so frightened that he quickly changed his posture, so as not to be splashed by the salted soy milk.
It's a pity that this is the case, this bowl of salted soy milk soaked in fried dough sticks still did not leave a single life, and even the porcelain bowl containing him died heroically.
"Bang", the porcelain bowl worth a quarter of a large copper fell from Feng Dayong's hand and fell to the ground, the moment it was connected with the bluestone slab, the broken porcelain pieces and the salted soybean milk that had lost its support splashed in all directions, and half of the salted soybean milk was poured on Feng Dayong's coarse cloth shoes.
It's just that people are not as good as heaven, and the death of the potter surnamed Zhu from Taiping Town last time is not over, and this is here again? Isn't it a recent water reversal? Or is it a memorization of the eight-character flow year? Or is it Tai Sui? I knew that I should have gone to the Baiyun Temple in Tianping Mountain to ask for a talisman, hey, the talisman is less when it is used.
Or do you simply go to a distant provincial town to ask for a consecrated Bodhisattva statue? I heard that the Baoxiang Temple in the provincial city is very spiritual, and I ask for anything. Or is it the view of the breeze? I heard that the Taoist chief there is particularly reliable in eliminating disasters and relieving misfortunes......
Feng Dayong hadn't figured out which way to ask for immortals first, and the Changyu had already arrived.
At this time, the men who came to work in the morning had almost arrived, and the people from other shops on the street were also watching at the gate of Changyu.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, what's there to see, don't you all have to do business, just look at other people's things, what's so good about the dead, and I don't know the taboo under the New Year, get out of the way, don't look at it!" Feng Dayong shouted a few times before he could squeeze in from the crowd.
The dead fellow was still lying at the door of the storeroom, and the guys here were very clever and sensible, and although they didn't know what they should do, they knew what they shouldn't do. If the goods are lost or damaged, no one will think about standing next to the damaged goods or moving those goods, so as not to be unclear when they get it.
They also have this attitude towards the dead, although this is a person they know, a colleague they have been with for a long time, and they do not trespass the scene because of the idea of what is buried in the earth or what kind of dead person should be dignified.
The appearance of the deceased that Feng Dayong saw was the same as that seen by the guy who opened the door in the morning, without any damage. Very good.
Well, that's good......
Feng Dayong first took a closer look at the periphery, and then he stood up, thoughtfully, and said to the guys majestically, "Before I came, did any of you touch anything here?" ”
The guys shook their heads one after another, and Feng Dayong nodded with satisfaction: "That's it!" Hold on! Wait for me to call someone! No one is allowed to touch anything here! Otherwise, it will affect official business, disrupt order, and disrupt public order......" As he spoke, the man walked away.
Today, this shop can't be opened, some of the guys went to the Zhao family's mansion to inform the master, some stayed to maintain order, and some explained something to the customers who came to prepare to buy.
After Feng Dayong arrived with the forensic doctor Su Yanqing, the dedicated Changyu guys confirmed to Su Yanqing that the wine cellar was accessible, and they moved the office space to an old paulownia tree behind the Changyu. It turned out to be the territory of an old man who set up a stall to sell wontons, but now the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the old man is busy buying things for the New Year, and he has already closed the stove and will only wait for the next year.
The huge old paulownia tree could not hide the winter rain, and the leaves gathered the rain in one place, and as soon as a gust of wind blew, the water droplets gathered on the leaves quickly fell on the heads of the merchants standing under the trees.
Nobody cares.
Business is the most important, and the sound of bargaining is intertwined with the sound of the iron abacus beads moving up and down, so that it is a prosperous market economy scene.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and a merchant shouted: "This jar of wine has been struck by lightning." ”
"This altar too!"
After counting, there are more than 30 jars of wine that have been struck by lightning, and there is obviously a trace of burnt paste on the paper sticker on the sealing mud of the wine jar. Coincidentally, the traces of burnt paste on each jar of wine happened to fall on the word "Zhao" in "Zhao's Changyu Winter Brewing".
It's as if Thor has a deep hatred with the Zhao family, and he can't wait to behead the "Zhao" family.
Mortals pay attention to the fact that only those who have committed a crime will be hit by five thunderbolts from the sky, and now the entire Changyu of the Zhao family has been burned, the guy has died, and even the wine altar has traces of being struck by lightning, is it that the Zhao family has secretly done something that will be punished by God, this is God's anger, and he wants to ask for his life from the Zhao family? And Suo De is still very anxious, and he doesn't even want the Zhao family to live a good life this year.
The noisy old paulownia market suddenly became quiet, and the silence was terrifying, and the merchants who had come to buy were gone, fearing that if they had eaten this batch of cursed wine, they would suffer the same misfortune.
No matter how the Changyu guys stayed, they couldn't keep the merchants who were determined to leave, among them was an old man who had been dealing with Changyu for many years, he was the owner of the largest wine shop in Taiping Town, and he booked many winter wines in Changyu every year, but this time even he turned his head and left silently.
Facing the Changyu guy who begged him to leave an order, he sighed, shook his head, and said: "Taiping Town is only a hundred miles away from here, if I enter your goods, what if our people in Taiping Town are afraid of curses and bad luck, and refuse to buy them, then these wines, won't I have to smash them in my hands?" Hey, I also hope that you can quickly find out what is going on, in these ten miles and eight towns, I can't find a better wine than your house. ”
The news reached the Zhao family's mansion, not to mention that Zhao Chengqi was anxious, even Zhao Siyuan was alarmed, Changyu is the largest industry of the entire Zhao family, and several other businesses such as Pingxin, Ruixiang, Daji, and Zhao Chengping's international business department that has not yet been formed, together are not as profitable as the Changyu family, if it is affected, then the Zhao family will be hit quite seriously, I am afraid that this year, it will really not be good.
"Who are you, go out, don't affect the case!" Su Yanqing, who was squatting on the ground, found that there were two people, an old man and a young man, rushed to his side, as if they still wanted to touch and fiddle, and the younger one even wanted to step over the corpse and enter the warehouse, Su Yanqing was very angry, stood up suddenly, and glared at the two.
Feng Dayong, who was standing on the side, hurriedly explained: "Don't be nervous, the two of them are the owner and young owner of this shop, Master Zhao Siyuan, Young Master Zhao Chengqi." ”
"Zhao Chengqi?" Su Yanqing's face was originally a little thin, his facial features were hard, he looked handsome but with a coldness and impersonal affection that rejected people thousands of miles away, and his long white coat looked even more emotionless.
When he called his name like this, Zhao Chengqi only felt shocked, and he suddenly felt as if he was an outsider, stepping into someone else's territory without getting someone else's invitation.
He tried his best to settle down, so as not to lose face in front of his buddy and father, the face he lost in front of his third brother Zhao Chengping last time has not yet been brought back to the field, and he really can't afford to lose face again.
People, they are always afraid of something.
The cold Su Yanqing Su forensic doctor asked, "Who are you from Zhao Chengping?" ”
"I'm his eldest brother, and he's my third brother." Zhao Chengqi replied.
"Brother?"
Zhao Chengqi replied again: "He is my brother-in-law." ”
"Oh, that's it." Su Yanqing nodded, lowered his head and continued to be busy with the things in his hand, while still saying: "No wonder, Zhao Chengping is much more sensible, he understands things without saying anything, and knows what to touch and what not to touch." ”
Su Yan Youth Ji and Zhao Chengqi Zhao Chengping are actually about the same age, and when he commented on the two brothers, it was as if the elders were criticizing the juniors, which made Zhao Chengqi very embarrassed, and his face was red and white for a while.
Of course, Zhao Siyuan, who was standing on the side, also heard it, he only glanced at his eldest son silently, as a businessman who has been in the business for many years, his double business is naturally much higher than Zhao Chengqi.
He was busy calling the guys outside to go back first, and now there were no merchants to buy, and the guys had nothing to do to stay here.
"The large number of people will affect the work of Forensic Doctor Su, Uncle Zhang, you tell the guys to go back first, today's salary will be paid, and they will not be deducted." Zhao Siyuan instructed the shopkeeper to close the door, and he and Zhao Chengqi, as well as the four stewards with the keys to the warehouse, sat quietly in the hall that should have been crowded and very lively at this time.
There was a dead silence in the hall, only a slight voice from Su Yanqing came from the warehouse, the dark clouds in the sky covered the sun, and the hall was dim as if night was about to fall.
In order to avoid destroying the scene, the scattered papers and ledgers were not collected, and the scene was still messy everywhere, as when I found it in the morning, adding to the desolate feeling.
The father and son sat silently for a long time before Su Yanqing came out of the warehouse, Zhao Siyuan stood up to meet him, and Zhao Chengqi also hurriedly stood up and followed.
Zhao Siyuan asked, "Forensic Doctor Su, how is it, how did my guy die?" ”
Su Yanqing pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "The preliminary judgment is that he died from a lightning strike, and the body needs to be brought back for further examination, the conditions here are too poor." ”
"But it's winter, how can there be thunder?" Zhao Chengqi asked.
Zhao Siyuan turned his head and glared at him, so frightened that Zhao Chengqi took half a step back, and Su Yanqing smiled: "Strictly speaking, it should be called an electric shock, and lightning, or the electric lamp you use, can form this kind of lightning injury." ”
He looked around: "Do you usually turn on the lights in this shop?" ”
"It's open when it's dark, or when it's like this, it's going to open during the day." Zhao Chengqi replied.
Su Yanqing asked again: "The door of your warehouse is iron?" ”
Zhao Chengqi nodded.
Su Yanqing said: "That's it, this guy was electrocuted." ”
"What?"
"Just now, the door of this storeroom was still electrified, and whoever touched it died." As he spoke, Su Yanqing's eyes drifted towards Zhao Chengqi.
As soon as these words came out, he was scared into a cold sweat, just now he wanted to go into the warehouse to count his valuables, but fortunately he was scolded by Su Yanqing, and now, his disgust with Su Yanqing's talent was suddenly thrown out of the clouds, this is a life-saving benefactor.
Su Yanqing asked again: "Where is the generator in this shop?" ”
"Please follow me." Zhao Siyuan took Su Yanqing to the generator room, and Su Yanqing put his hand on the generator and probed: "Sure enough, it was turned off just now." ”
It can be preliminarily judged that someone put the wire on the iron door of the warehouse, waiting for someone to kill himself. This guy didn't know why he approached the warehouse, the keys of the Changyu were all brass, and as soon as the key came into contact with the iron door, it would immediately direct all the current to the person.
That's why this guy was electrocuted.
"If it weren't for this guy, who would normally open the door to the storeroom first?" Su Yanqing asked.
Zhao Chengqi suddenly brushed his face, and at the same time, a cold sweat broke out on his back, as a young owner, of course, he was the one to open the valuables warehouse, except for him, only a few authorized guys had the permission to enter, but this guy didn't belong to any of them.
