Shen Ao asked, Di San'er thought for a while before saying: "It seems that Zeng Pan'er has read, and he is still complacent, sometimes Uncle An has something, and he is also here to keep the accounts, and Uncle An said that his calligraphy is good." ”

Shen Ao and Zhao Ji glanced at each other, Zhao Ji just heard Shen Ao's question, and understood the reason in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "This thief, Bacheng is Zeng Pan'er." ”

Shen Ao said: "An Yan can also write, and his suspicion cannot be ruled out, but at least it is certain that the other two guys are illiterate, and it is not easy to find the wine utensils of Wang Xizhi's authentic works from so many fakes, so we can focus on An Yan and Zeng Pan'er now." ”

Di San'er heard Shen Ao's words quite reasonable, but she couldn't help but protest: "I said it, the thief must not be Uncle An, Uncle An's father is my grandfather's general, the father and son are loyal to our Di family, if he is really greedy for money, there is no need to steal at all." ”

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Yes, we can focus on Zeng Pan'er now." ”

Even Yang Jian, who had been silent, also spoke: "Zeng Pan'er is a scholar, will he be willing to do chores in this restaurant?" Isn't that the biggest doubt? In my opinion, this person is indeed a bit famous. ”

Shen Ao smiled: "Don't worry, call all three guys first, I'll ask." ”

Di San'er was a little uncontrollable: "It's that Zeng Pan'er, there is nothing wrong, he was picked up by Uncle An, and it is said that he was also a scholar who rushed to take the exam, and when he arrived in the capital, he ran out of entanglements, froze in the snow, and almost died." My Uncle Ann picked him up, and he said that he wanted to repay the favor before he was willing to work in my restaurant. None of these stinky scholars are good, full of fancy intestines, he is interested in money, and he doesn't want to live under people for a long time, so he took the opportunity to steal the wine utensils. ”

Shen Ao was also very suspicious of Zeng Pan'er, but before he asked clearly, he didn't want to be too arbitrary, and said with a straight face: "Miss Di, are you looking for the wine utensils or me?" ”

Di San'er was about to fight against Shen Ao, but when she saw that Shen Ao's face was not good, she remembered how powerful Shen Ao was, and said with a shy face: "Okay, I'll call them." ”

Shen Ao and Zhao Ji and Yang Jian went into a side room to wait, and after a while, Wang Kai came in first, and Shen Ao asked him where he went when the wine was stolen?

Wang Kai said indifferently: "That day, the account room and the young lady bought the wine utensils, and after Shen Gongzi left, I went back to the room to sleep, which Liu Huimin can prove, by the way, I live in the same room with another guy, if I wake up in the middle of the night, the guy will definitely be conscious." ”

Shen Ao asked him again what he heard at night, Wang Kai shook his head, and said: "Bai said that he was very tired from work, and he fell asleep as soon as he got to the bed, and woke up early the next morning, only to hear about the theft of wine utensils. ”

Shen Ao nodded, left Wang Kai behind, and called Liu Huimin in, Liu Huimin was a young man who seemed a little restrained, sitting opposite Shen Ao uneasily, Shen Ao asked him what he was doing that night, Liu Huimin said: "I am in charge of cleaning the restaurant, at that time the guests were scattered, the whole restaurant was in a mess, after cleaning, I went to sleep." ”

Shen Ao asked, "Just cleaning the lobby?" ”

Liu Huimin said: "If you go back to Gongzi, there is also the confession hall on the fifth floor, according to the meaning of the account room, every night when you go to sleep, you have to clean the confession hall of Wu Nanggong, by the way, this is the key to the confession hall, which was given to me by the account room." ”

Liu Huimin really took out a key and came out, Shen Ao took it and looked left and right, and said, "So you have approached that wine utensil?" ”

Cold sweat oozed from Liu Huimin's forehead, and she said, "Yes...... It's ......"

Shen Ao asked him again: "Then when you left, was that wine utensil still there?" ”

Liu Huimin thought about it, shook her head and said, "There are a lot of wine utensils on the table, and the small ones usually don't pay much attention. ”

Shen Ao asked him: "When did you say you slept, who can prove it?" ”

Liu Huimin thought for a while and said, "It should be a watch day, and there happened to be a husband passing by on the street at that time, so the little one remembers it more clearly." By the way, when I went back to my room to sleep, I happened to run into Zeng Paner, who said that he was going to relieve his hands, and asked me if I had finished cleaning. ”

Shen Ao and Zhao Ji glanced at each other again, Zhao Ji's eyes had a kind of excitement to find out the truth, and whispered to Shen Ao: "Brother Shen, in my opinion, that Zeng Pan'er is the most suspicious, not only does he have the ability to distinguish the real product from the wine utensils, but he suddenly woke up last night, I am afraid that he was planning to steal, and happened to bump into this Liu Huimin, so he deliberately said that he was going to relieve himself." ”

Shen Ao said: "Yes, Wang Kai's suspicion can be ruled out for the time being, he went to bed early, and there are people in the same room to prove it." As for this Liu Huimin, he is not a scholar, it is too difficult to detect the real thing, and he has the key to the offering hall, if he has the key, why pick the lock to go in? ”

Zhao Ji lifted his spirits and said: "Then call Zeng Pan'er in, and we will interrogate him properly." "He is the Son of Heaven, although he has changed his regular clothes, but his undoubted tone is still quite like a king in the world.

Zeng Pan'er was quickly called, as soon as he entered this room, he saw many people in an interrogative posture, his face suddenly turned pale, Shen Ao taught him to sit down first, and before Shen Ao could speak, Zeng Suian said: "Childe is here for the theft of wine utensils?" ”

Shen Ao nodded.

Zeng Pan'er smiled bitterly: "Do you suspect that I am the thief?" ”

Zhao Ji said with a straight face: "Whether you are a thief or not, you will know when you ask." I ask you, when did you sleep on the night of the theft? ”

Zeng Pan'er hesitated for a moment and said, "Send Shen Gongzi away, and go to sleep after the restaurant closes." ”

Shen Ao asked him, "Then have you ever gotten up in the middle of the night?" ”

Zeng Pan'er hesitated: "I don't remember any of this, it doesn't seem to have gotten up." ”

Liu Huimin said angrily: "Zeng Pan'er, you obviously woke up once on the first watch, and you asked me if I had cleaned it up, and said that I was going to relieve it." ”

Zeng Pan'er was stunned, as if she was reminiscing, and as if she was a thief, she said, "This ...... I don't remember much of that. ”

Zhao Ji sneered: "You are still pretending to be confused, the wine set was stolen by you, you are literate and hyphenated, you can recognize the true handiwork of Wang Youjun, wake up in the middle of the night, but deliberately want to get through the trick and deceive us, say quickly, where is the wine set?" ”

The reason why Zhao Ji is so enthusiastic is that he wants to see the ink treasure of Wang Youjun, on the other hand, he came out to try the case for the first time, and then he found the charm of the trial, and he felt that it was very interesting, and the whole person was completely addicted to it, and he only felt that this trip out of the palace was worth the trip, and he was about to find the real murderer, and he was quite excited.

Zeng Pan'er's face was like earth, and he said, "Learn ...... Students are scholars, so how can they do things that are not good...... Student...... The student ......" He raised his eyes, trying to defend himself, but his face was ugly.

At this time, Di San'er happened to come in, and she had already heard the words inside, and said angrily: "It seems that if you don't punish you, you won't speak." ”

Shen Ao thought to himself, Mom, execution? Girl, this is a private house, you are abusing lynching, the emperor is watching.

Who knew that Zhao Ji on the side slapped his thigh: "Yes, use the punishment, such a cunning person, if he does not move the punishment, he will not recruit!" ”

Shen Ao was speechless, and hurriedly said: "Let's let go of the punishment first, after all, he is a scholar, and he can't be punished as a doctor." ”

Desan Er crossed her hands and said, "What are these words?" Little grandma, I don't have a hundred stinky scholars, but dozens of them, don't say that he is a stinky scholar, that is, ten or eight, and I also moved. ”

Zhao Ji slapped his thigh again, and was about to echo, but when he thought about it, no, this little girl spoke a little wrong, so she hurriedly sat upright, and it was no longer good to breathe out of one nostril with Di San'er.

Zeng Pan'er said: "The student is wronged, the student is a scholar...... Please be aware of the fact that the student is a talented and meritorious person, how can he do such a self-destructive thing......"

Shen Ao was afraid that Di San'er would do it seriously, so he hurriedly said: "That's it, you have to reflect on it, when you figure it out, come see me again." But I'll only give you a six-hour deadline, and I won't be able to keep you if the restaurant is on duty. Then he said, "Go back to your room and reflect." After thinking about it, he said to Liu Huimin: "Brother Zhou, you go to see him, if he dares to abscond, call someone immediately." ”

Liu Huimin hurriedly said: "Childe ordered, how dare the little one be disrespectful, Childe can rest assured, he can't run." Liu Huimin is a rough person, and he is very strong, so he suddenly lifted Zeng Paner's back placket and pulled him out, Zeng Paner just cried, and kept saying: "I am a reader, a reader......"

After Liu Huimin carried Zeng Pan'er away, Di San'er said excitedly: "In my opinion, his countrymen came to him today, maybe Zeng Pan'er has already handed over the wine utensils to his countrymen, if so, what should we do?" ”

Shen Ao shook his head: "Probably not, the thief won't be so blatant, since he stays here, it means that he must be a careful person, he thinks he does it seamlessly, how can he give people a handle, if people are seen, or see the clues, it's not fun." ”

"Humph!" Di San'er snorted coldly unconvinced, always feeling that Shen Ao was targeting her everywhere, full of displeasure.

Zhao Ji laughed, shook his fan and said: "It turns out that trial is so fun, Shen Ao, your observation is very meticulous, I didn't expect that you are not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also have the talent to try cases." Zhao Ji's eyes couldn't help but pass with a hint of appreciation.

Zhao Ji is actually a very conceited person, he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his level of juju and cockfighting is not weak, he can be regarded as a rare talented emperor in history, but when he met Shen Ao, he had to admire.

Shen Ao said with a straight face: "Miss Di, go and serve us drinks and food, we have delayed your trial for so long, don't you want to treat us?" ”

Miss Di did not object to this trip, so she went out and instructed the shopkeeper to prepare wine and food.

Shen Ao and Zhao Ji sat down, Yang Jian was still standing, and Shen Ao said, "Yang ...... What is Mr. Yang standing up, come, sit down and drink together. ”

Yang Jian smiled, and was about to refuse, Zhao Ji said: "Shen Ao is your future son-in-law, how can you let him sit and drink, you are by the side, when there are no outsiders in the future, in front of me and Shen Ao, you don't have to be restrained." ”

Yang Jian sat down, and when the wine and food came up, Di San'er also came, sat down loudly, poured the wine himself, and said very boldly: "This girl hates reading people the most, but this time for the sake of the wine utensils, I will accompany everyone to drink a few glasses, come, I will do it first as a respect." She had a bit of Mulan's demeanor, grabbed the wine glass with her slender hand, drank in one sip, wiped the wine stains on her red lips, and said, "I have already saluted first, why don't you drink it?" If you don't drink, I'll be angry. I didn't dare to say this sentence to Shen Ao, but I said it to Zhao Ji and Yang Jian with a clenched fist.

Zhao Ji and Yang Jian were startled, and hurriedly picked up their wine glasses: "Drink, drink......"

After a few glasses, Shen Ao knew that Di San'er's alcohol consumption was very good, and then he was relieved after thinking about it, people are opening restaurants, if they can't even drink enough, can they still mix in the restaurant world? Miss Sang'er drank boldly enough, which caused some dissatisfaction among the three people present, except for Yang Jian, Shen Ao and Zhao Ji are both men, dignified and manly, how can they fall behind in front of women, so they all came to sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman one by one.

This wine has been drunk for more than an hour, and when the wine is hot, there is an exclamation outside, and after a while, Liu Huimin rushed in with a face like earth, panting and said, "No...... Oh no, Zeng Pan'er committed suicide in fear of sin......"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Shen Ao suddenly got up, put down the wine glass, and said, "Committed suicide?" Take us to see it. ”
