Volume 1: The Case of the Talented Son of Linzhou Chapter 16: It's Too Late

Early the next morning, Duan Ming called Xu Shizhong, asked Xu Shizhong to change into civilian clothes, and left the Spiegel Division with him.

There are still four days left until the 10th, and some things must be done sooner.

"Master Duan, I don't know where we're going to collect clues today?" Xu Shizhong asked with some excitement: "What do you need me to do?" ”。

He had enough of the useless work these days

"Hehe, Lao Xu, did you bring any money?" Duan Ming asked.

"Money?" Xu Shizhong was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "I didn't bring it." ”

"You're too ignorant, and it costs money to solve a case." Duan understood Xu Shizhong and said, "Then do you have a waist card?" ”

"This one was naturally brought." Xu Shizhong nodded.

"That's good, that's good!" Duan Ming was immediately happy.

Then Duan Ming took Xu Shizhong to the official mansion of Linyang City, and several officials of the official mansion came over with a smile when they saw Duan Ming.

"Yo, sixth brother, are you here again? What did you do this time? A servant said with a smile.

"There are no servants, why did you come by yourself?" Another official also smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, you turned yourself in?" Anyway, peek at whose little girl took a bath? ”

"Phew!" Duan Ming spat a few mouthfuls and gave the second official a blank look: "Liu Wei, you said that I stole chickens and dogs, and I will admit it, saying that I peeked at the little girl taking a bath?" Is that the one I lame six are? ”

"Yes!" Several officials said in unison, and then laughed.

"Okay, okay, no more joking with you." Duan Ming sighed and waved his hand: "There is something else to do here today. ”

"Oh? What's up? Several officials looked at Duan Ming.

"The last time I was in distress on the street, I was saved by Brother Sun. So, I'm here to repay you. Duan Ming said.

"Oh, bring it, I'll bring it in for you." Liu Wei said: "Whose buns are they, whose fish are they?" It's got to be stolen goods, and it's just right to catch you in there. ”

"Phew, I am this in your eyes?" Duan Ming shook his head: "I can make a bloody investment this time, and after a while, I will be the east." ”

"Spring Rain Building?" Hearing this, the eyes of several officials widened.

"That, brothers, you guys are watching here, I'll take the sixth child to see the brain." Liu Wei shouted.

"Go, go, take a good look!" The rest of the officials also nodded their heads one after another.

"Okay, you're amazing!" Duan Ming gave Liu Wei a thumbs up, and then looked at the other officer: "Brother Du, go tell Brother Sun, tell Liu Wei to watch here, and the rest of you will go with me." Chunyulou, you must eat and drink well today! ”

"Really?" The official surnamed Du glanced at Duan Ming suspiciously, and saw that Duan Ming didn't laugh at all: "Okay, I'll go and inform you!" ”

"Something else, sixth, I was wrong, take me one!" Liu Wei suddenly became anxious: "It's a big deal, when the time comes, I will punish myself for three cups, can't I make amends to you?" ”

"If you want to drink more, just say it, and punish yourself with three glasses...... Duan Ming pouted: "Okay, go and inform yourself." It is the brothers who have worked hard to stay on duty, and bring them back food when the time comes. ”

"Good!" Many of the officials nodded.

Chunyulou is a famous century-old store in Linyang City, located on the bank of the Surin River, and is the first of the "third floor" of Linyang City.

In July and August every year, the tide on the Surin River is famous for entering the Linyang, and it is the most spectacular.

The "Tide Pavilion" on the top floor of the Spring Rain Building is the best place to watch the tide.

The poet Meng Lang once wrote a poem saying: "Smell the tide and look at the sea, and be alone in the spring rain building."

Although this is not the time to watch the tide, the spring rain building is still very lively.

Duan Ming walked into the Chunyu Building with seventeen or eighteen servants, and suddenly there was silence in the entire Chunyu Building.

All the diners looked at Duan Ming and the others with great vigilance, and some of them were even timid and hurriedly checked out and planned to leave.

"A few, a few!" The shopkeeper of Chunyu Building hurriedly greeted him, and looked at the person in front of him with a smile on his face: "I don't know what you are doing here?" ”

Now it is an eventful autumn, even if the shopkeeper of Chunyulou has the support of a big man behind him, he is not willing to cause more trouble at this time, so he can only laugh.

"Don't worry about the shopkeeper, we're just here to eat." Duan Ming waved his hand: "Is there a bigger private room upstairs?" ”

"Yes, yes!" The shopkeeper nodded again and again, then glanced at Duan Ming hesitantly, and gritted his teeth: "Today I will be the east, and I will invite you to have a light meal." ”

"What? Is the shopkeeper worried that we will eat white food? Duan Ming said with a smile: "I don't need the shopkeeper to entertain guests." ”

"This ...... This official, our fee here ......" The shopkeeper rubbed his hands, and his face showed a look of embarrassment.

"Don't worry!" Duan Ming looked at Xu Shizhong on the side: "Old Xu, show your waist card to the shopkeeper." ”

Xu Shizhong didn't understand what Duan Ming meant, the shopkeeper obviously suspected that his financial resources were insufficient, so why did he let himself pay for the cards?

However, Xu Shizhong did not refute, took out his waist card and shook it in front of the shopkeeper.

"Akira, Spiegel!" The shopkeeper's body trembled, and his lips trembled slightly.

"Today, everything we spend is recorded in the accounts of Spiegel." Duan Ming glanced at Xu Shizhong: "Old Xu, you will take the money tomorrow and make up for today's meal money." ”

"Huh?" Xu Shizhong was stunned for a moment: "This, this ......"

"Don't worry." Duan Ming patted Xu Shizhong on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "This is all to solve the case, the old criminal can understand, this is called a necessary investment." ”

"I don't know if I invest or not...... But I feel like I'm dead......" Xu Shizhong showed a smile on his face that was even uglier than crying: "Mr. Duan, is this what you said time is running out?" ”

"Of course." Duan Ming nodded, no matter whether the case was solved or not in two days, he would have nothing to do with the Spiegel Division, so it would be impossible to use the Spiegel Division's money to invite people to dinner.

"Peace of mind." Duan Ming looked at Xu Shizhong with a smile: "With me here, you will be fine." ”

Then Duan Ming looked at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, with the Spiegel Division as a guarantee, don't you feel at ease?" ”

"Rest assured, rest assured!" The shopkeeper nodded again and again, not daring to say a word.

"Then you won't take us upstairs?" Duan Ming waved his hand: "Then good wine and good food will be served!" ”

"Good!" The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and walked quickly towards the top floor with Duan Ming and the others.

The shopkeeper knew very well in his heart, what is the place of Spiegel? Who can use Spiegel's money to invite people to dinner at will, how can they be ordinary people?

Absolutely not.

Besides, with these people here, the rest of the diners don't want to eat well.

Therefore, in order to alleviate this problem, it is necessary to minimize the contact between these officials and ordinary diners, and it is best to not see them.

And there is only one most suitable location in the Spring Rain Building, and that is the Tide Viewing Pavilion on the top floor......
