As one of the bustling cities in the south of the Yangtze River, Suzhou doesn't have an all-night curfew like other towns.

In fact, except for the gates closed after dusk, the whole city is still unimpeded, and all kinds of shops are open day and night, although it is not really a city that never sleeps, but some of the most prosperous commercial centers are as lively as in the middle of the night.

This is the case with the street market where Chunfeng Lou is located, and it is even more lively than during the day, because there are not so many small stalls on the street in front of this building during the day.

Selling wontons, steamed buns, and all kinds of simple snacks and drinks...... These highly liquid vendors have long mastered the ability to make a living and make money in Suzhou, and know that there are always a large number of customers who need to buy food every night in front of such a Qinglou gambling house, so naturally a small night market has formed here.

When Sun Ning and the others came over, they saw this hot scene, which made both of them a little stunned.

This is a place where murder has just happened, and people are so indifferent to set up stalls to eat and drink? I didn't even care about the blood stains on the ground that had not been completely washed off, and a guy came out of the green building, stepped on the blood stains, and went into a certain shop to ask for a soup cake and ate it.

"How can I check this?" Xiao Qian looked at Sun Ning and asked in a low voice.

I thought that I could come here in the middle of the night to quietly check the surroundings and conditions of the murder scene, but I didn't expect this situation, and it would be difficult to investigate it in detail.

Sun Ning laughed with relief after being stunned: "I really didn't expect it, but it's better this way, some things may not be able to be found out just by looking at them." Let's go, I'll ask you to eat something and fill your stomach. ”

After speaking, he took Xiao Qian's hand and went straight to the wonton shop opposite the door of Chunfeng Building. The location of this shop is directly aimed at the scene of the murder, as long as there are people in the shop at that time, you can see the murder process clearly.

asked the boss for two bowls of mutton wontons, watching him skillfully cook the wrapped thin-skinned wontons over the water, and then quickly add all kinds of condiments into the soup, the smile on Sun Ning's face became more and more sincere: "Boss, look at your craft, you have been doing this for some years." ”

"That's right, I've been making wontons for forty-two years." The boss laughed and handed the two bowls to the two.

Sun Ning sat down at the table near the pot table and continued: "Then this wonton must taste very good." ”

"Shhh...... Fresh, fragrant, the skin is chewy, and the meat is tender enough. Xiao Qian ate a wonton first, couldn't help but admire, and gave the boss a thumbs up, "Amazing!" ”

"Haha, that's all we have to do, as long as you've eaten wontons at my stall, you will come back to eat it a few more times." The boss looked smug and authentic.

"Then why didn't you open a shop in the city, it must be good to come to that business." Sun Ning asked.

"Hey, Suzhou has every inch of land, my wontons are a small business, and I can support my family, and then go to the temple to put a few sticks of incense, there will be no spare money, how can I afford to buy a shop."

Sun Ning's eyes sank slightly, but he didn't dwell on this matter, and only asked again: "Then you have been setting up a stall here for some years, right?" Are they all in this position? ”

"Yes, I've been selling wontons here for more than ten years, and the location remains the same. Don't you know, you have to talk about the rules when doing business in Suzhou, don't look at the small area of this shop, and you have to withdraw in the morning, but it also costs money to occupy it, and you have to give the government five taels of silver every year.

"So the location of our shop will not change, unless we can't pay for it, then we can't even put a stall."

Sun Ning exchanged glances with Xiao Qian when he heard this, and the latter understood, and immediately smiled: "That's really not easy, and thanks to your good skills, this business can only prosper and make some money." By the way, you're here every night, have you seen it when you had an accident before? ”

"Something? What do the guest officers mean when the soldiers were killed? The boss's voice suddenly lowered, and he looked left and right with some vigilance.

"Yes, this matter is so mysterious, we have all heard a lot of sayings, I don't know who to believe."

"Ahem, those people like to chew their tongues, and they don't see anything, but they have to make up some fake things to deceive people." The boss said with a look of disdain.

"So you saw the murder with your own eyes?" Sun Ning interjected and asked again at this time.

"This ......" the boss looked like he was a little embarrassed and worried.

At a glance, it was obvious that he was worried that he was worried about causing trouble, and Sun Ning, who had attracted the lawsuit, smiled and said: "Don't worry, we are just curious, and we are not locals, you listen to our accent, you are definitely not from the government." ”

Hearing him say this, the boss was really relieved, so he lowered his voice a little lower: "Don't hide it from the two of you, I really happened to see the situation at that time." It was just dawn, and I was busy cleaning up the stall......"

Just about to get into the topic, a few more guests came to ask for wontons, the boss could only put aside the curious two first, and made wontons for a few guests, and then came back and said in a lower voice: "As a result, when I looked up, I saw that the few soldiers who were killed came out of the building, and they drank a lot, and they walked straight and shaking." ”

It seemed that even he himself felt a little nervous, and after swallowing his saliva, he said again: "As a result, these people didn't go out two steps, and suddenly two people jumped behind them diagonally, and before I could see what was going on, those soldiers suddenly covered their throats, and after standing stunned for a while, they all fell down."

"There was a lot of blood on the ground, but I was startled, and when I saw the two murderers looking at me, I was so frightened that I quickly picked up my burden and ran ......to the corner of the street," he said, pointing to the long street, and his face still palpitated.

Although the boss said very blandly and the words were quite repetitive, he still accurately described the murder.

After listening to this, Sun Ning and the others exchanged glances again, and then looked at the pools of blood on the ground, and already had a certain judgment in their hearts.

After a while, Xiao Qian was curious: "Then have you told the government about this?" ”

"Of course not, we don't dare to deal with the official, we have to let them know, my mess can be taken away by them......" The boss shook his head vigorously.

Fortunately, there were a few other passers-by on the street who were also afraid of things at that time, so no one knew that they were witnesses to the murder, because according to the time at that time, their stall should have been taken back earlier.

……

Chinese New Year's Eve, the two watches were sent in succession, and then passers-by went to the festival。。。。。

I wish you all the best for the New Year, and the Year of the Rabbit can be uphill and backgammon!!!
