"Uh...... Is it suspicious? Ge Changwu didn't think there was anything suspicious about the two maids sleeping in the same bedroom.

Seeing that Ge Changwu was so unenlightened, Lu Yanqing couldn't help but smile helplessly, "Ge Zhutou, don't you think that those two maids sleeping in the same bedroom are a little too deliberate?" They didn't have the same reason to stay together as the shopkeeper and the two guards. ”

"Hey, it seems a bit deliberate to hear you say that."

Lu Yanqing's words made Ge Changwu discover the problem as if he had been empowered.

It is normal for the shopkeeper and his wife to share the same bed.

And the two guards are in order to protect the safety of their master, so they have to be on duty together, and there is nothing suspicious.

But the two maids couldn't live in more than a dozen empty rooms in the inn, but they had to squeeze into a bedroom to rest, and the key was that there was no reason to live together, which made Lu Yanqing suspicious.

Of course, this may also be a coincidence, but suspicion is just suspicion.

Lu Yanqing just wanted to analyze who was the most suspicious from the confessions of several people, and then confirm the direction of the investigation and eliminate the suspicions one by one, which was more efficient than rummaging for clues without a clue.

"By the way, Yan Qing, since you have doubts about this, why didn't you ask just now?"

Ge Changwu suddenly thought of something, and asked very puzzled.

"There's no need to ask."

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"They naturally have their reasons, and I just need to know that the two of them are very suspicious."

Lu Yanqing smiled mysteriously and did not say it thoroughly.

"Can you stinky boy stop selling it?"

Ge Changwu was confused, and said to Lu Yanqing with a little anxiety, after all, there were not many reasons left for him to find out the truth.

"Don't be anxious, just follow me."

With that, Lu Yanqing walked towards the shopkeeper and his wife, and Ge Changwu had no choice but to follow closely when he saw this.

Seeing Lu Yanqing and Ge Changwu coming straight forward, the shopkeeper and his wife snorted coldly in displeasure, and greeted the two of them in a weird manner: "What are the two officials doing?" Rather than wasting time on our husband and wife, it is better to look elsewhere for clues to solve the case as soon as possible, which really delays our business. ”

Ge Changwu and Lu Yanqing disagreed with the shopkeeper's complaints, and asked softly: "Shopkeeper, the case has progressed, we have a few questions we want to ask you about, and please cooperate." ”

"Okay, then you ask."

As soon as the case is solved, the inn can continue to operate, and there is no reason for the shopkeeper not to cooperate with the official in handling the case.

"Shopkeeper, how many years has Xiao Er been on duty with you?"

"That's a few years, it should be ten years." The shopkeeper recalled: "At that time he was only a child in his early teens, and if it had not been for the kindness of my wife, I am afraid he would have starved to death on the streets." ”

The shopkeeper's tone was very arrogant, which made people disgusted.

Although it is true that the shopkeeper took in Xiao Er, didn't he let Xiao Er work in his inn for ten years for nothing?

Of course, now is not the time to stand on the moral high ground and condemn others, after all, not everyone is as lucky as Lu Yanqing to have Ge Changwu to help.

"And what is his personality like, and what is he usually doing?" Lu Yanqing continued to ask.

"He's usually honest, but he's diligent in his work. Usually entertain guests in the inn and do some chores, so it can be said that he doesn't go out all day; Why, do you still suspect him? ”

"There was something suspicious about him, for he was the only one on duty that night, and there was no evidence that he had stayed in the hall and never left; We came to ask the two of you for advice just to clear the suspicion of Xiao Er. ”

Lu Yanqing gave a reasonable explanation, and the shopkeeper and his wife were very agreeable.

Compared with the officials who investigated together with the previous two people indiscriminately, Lu Yanqing's reasonable, well-organized and well-organized official errand is obviously more convincing to the two.

"Official, Xiao Er, he has been doing chores in my inn for ten years, how can he have anything to do with that kind of big person? I suggest you focus on the two maids and the guards, aren't they more suspicious than Xiao Er? ”

The shopkeeper lowered his voice and kindly reminded him according to his own judgment that he still trusted Xiao Er very much.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, we have our own judgment on this, thank you for your cooperation."

"Where, where, cooperating with the official investigation is what the grass people should do."

After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper and his wife, Lu Yanqing took Ge Changwu and walked straight to the door, and after confirming that there was no figure around, he asked Ge Changwu in a loud voice: "Ge Zhutou, do you think the shopkeeper's words are credible?" ”

Ge Changwu thought for a while, and said with a slight bow: "In my opinion, it is more credible, what he said can be found to be true or false as long as we investigate a little, there is no need for him to tell this kind of lie to deceive us." ”

"That's what I thought too." Lu Yanqing's thoughts are the same as Ge Changwu's.

The reason why Lu Yanqing wanted to ask Ge Changwu was to see if Ge Changwu had any other discoveries that he had not noticed, after all, there were many people and great power, and it was somewhat difficult for him to solve the case alone, after all, he was just an amateur, far inferior to Ge Changwu, a professional headhunter.

In this case, the suspicion of Xiao Er can be put aside for the time being, judging from the description of the shopkeeper couple, the probability of Xiao Er committing a crime is indeed very low.

"Are you going to go to those two guards to investigate the matter of those two maids?"

Ge Changwu had already seen through Lu Yanqing's thoughts and asked out loud.

"That's right." Lu Yanqing nodded, "Eliminating suspicions one by one can always summon the real murderer." ”

"What if there is nothing suspicious about those two maids?"

"Then we have to find another angle."

Before going to find the two guards, Ge Changwu instructed the group to investigate the cause of the deceased's death and the murderer's modus operandi as soon as possible.

After Lu Yanqing further confirms who the suspect is, he can try to restore the facts of the case by combining the cause of death of the deceased and the murderer's modus operandi, and find out ironclad evidence that can make the murderer admit guilt!

Although the investigation system of this world is not perfect, everything must be evidenced, and without evidence, it is impossible to convict a suspect.

Of course, in order to close the case as soon as possible, some county officials do not hesitate to find scapegoats to blame, although Ge Changwu has never done this, but he has also heard people mention that as long as they do it cleanly, no one will find out at all.

But Song Yuanzhen, the county magistrate, is an upright person and a veritable Qing official, and it is impossible for this kind of thing to happen in the yazhong under his jurisdiction.

Without being stunned any longer, Lu Yanqing and Ge Changwu knocked on the door of the two guards, summoned them to a room, and the four of them sat down around the square table. ”

One of the men in his thirties heard this and replied in a deep voice: "It's good, is there any problem?" ”

He thought that Lu Yanqing would ask him about the situation that night, but he didn't think that Lu Yanqing would find out about the two maids, which made him a little puzzled.

"No problem, just wanted to get a brief understanding." Lu Yanqing smiled kindly and continued to ask: "Then do you know where those two maids come from?" ”

The middle-aged man frowned, thought for a while, and slowly spoke: "The maid in the lotus skirt is named Xichun, I heard that it is the daughter of an old woman in the house, I don't know the specific situation, but I have heard that someone has mentioned such a mouth; And another person in a scarlet Luo skirt named Fengluan, who is the eldest lady's maid. ”

Hearing this, a gleam flashed in Lu Yanqing's pupils, "That maid named Fengluan is what your master wants to bring?" ”

"I know this!" Another younger guard replied: "Madame is afraid that the master will bring the wild woman home outside, so she specially let Feng Luan accompany her." ”

"How do you know?" The older guard frowned.

The young guard smiled embarrassedly, and said, "I overheard what Madame said to the master when I was patrolling the mansion. ”

"I see." The older guard bowed slightly, not saying anything more.

"Then how is the relationship between your lord and lady?" Lu Yanqing continued to ask.

"The lord and the lady respect each other like guests, and they are very affectionate."

"Thanks for informing, we'll take our leave."

With that, Lu Yanqing and Ge Changwu got up and walked towards the door.

Walking out of the inn, Ge Changwu opened his mouth and asked, "Yanqing, what have you discovered?" ”

Lu Yanqing bowed slightly, "That maid named Fengluan is very suspicious." ”

"Oh? Why is that? Ge Changwu was puzzled.

"Because she is the only one who was deliberately arranged to accompany the deceased." Lu Yanqing said bluntly.

"So what's next?"

Lu Yanqing pondered for a moment, "Ge Zhutou, otherwise, I'll go to Yizhuang for an autopsy, and you go to interrogate the two maids separately, and let them collect the details of what happened on the night of the crime, and then compare them." ”

"Yanqing, there is nothing to examine the corpse, nothing can be found at all, there is no need to waste time; And the corpse has begun to rot, ordinary people really can't stand it, it's all fucking spicy eyes! ”

In the past two days, Ge Changwu has been surrounding the corpse to investigate, but not only did he not find anything, but he smoked him so that he had no appetite, just thinking about it was disgusting.

"Ge Zhutou, if you want to find out the cause of death of the deceased, the autopsy is an indispensable link; Only when we know the cause of death of the deceased can we deduce the murderer's modus operandi, and then find out the evidence of the murder and who the murderer is. ”

Lu Yanqing explained loudly and insisted on going to the autopsy.

Seeing that what Lu Yanqing said was reasonable, Ge Changwu naturally had no reason to continue to stop him, so he had to sigh lightly and said, "Okay, then you can go, remember to come back for dinner before noon." ”

"Good!"

Without being stunned any longer, Lu Yanqing rode towards Yizhuang, while Ge Changwu looked at Lu Yanqing's departing back, slightly distracted.

Somehow, he always felt that Lu Yanqing, a hairy boy, seemed to have become a little different after the catastrophe.

Is it because Lu Yanqing became a Confucian saint?

Perhaps, he couldn't say for sure......
