Text Chapter 69 Implication 2
Just when the two of them were fighting 'you live and die', a group of officers and soldiers rushed in!
"What kind of person is you running here to make trouble?" Shangguan Yun was already drunk at this time, and he didn't see the identity of the person who came, so he shouted indiscriminately.
"Shangguan Gongzi, excuse me."
Behind the officers and soldiers, Lord Zhao arched his hand apologetically, and came slowly, looking at that look, he seemed to be a little anxious.
"Lord Zhao, I don't know what you are doing so much?" Although Ye Mo also drank a lot, he was not as drunk as Shangguan Yun.
Seeing that Ye Mo was conscious, Lord Zhao said with a straight face: "Ye Gongzi, fortunately you are here, this official is here for you!" ”
"For me?"
Why, isn't the matter of condensation over?
"Yes, Ye Gongzi, you settled in Yaleju, right?"
"That's right." Ye Mo nodded, and something suddenly flashed through his mind.
"The tenant of Yaleju Tianzi No. 1 died violently, and even his head was cut off." Lord Zhao stared straight at Ye Mo, "And Ye Gongzi is living in the Tianzi No. 2 room next to him, I don't know if you heard any movement?" ”
Sure enough, as expected, for this matter.
Ye Mo had a headache, thinking that he would have nothing to do with him if he didn't care, but now he had a lot of headaches.
"Lord Zhao, what do you mean .....?"
"Ye Gongzi, this official has to enforce the law impartially, and now all the guests of Yale Ju are suspicious when they have not found out the truth, and they can't leave the inn without permission, so Ye Gongzi should also go back."
This Lord Zhao really doesn't want to embarrass Ye Mo, it can be seen that Ye Mo is not a simple person, maybe he can help himself in this matter.
Ye Mo didn't understand Lord Zhao's intentions, and now there was no other way than to find out the matter in person, otherwise, if he couldn't leave the inn, how could he find Xiao Qian?
Ordered someone to send the drunk Shangguan Yun back to Shangguan Mansion, and Ye Mo and Lord Zhao returned to Yaleju together.
At this time, the periphery of Yale Ju was full of people watching the excitement, and the top travelers from all walks of life inside also arrived at the lobby one after another, and it could be seen that everyone's mood was quite high-pitched.
There are those who are dissatisfied, those who are afraid, those who sit back and watch the show, and those who don't care....... People's hearts are different.
Seeing Lord Zhao walk in, everyone also shouted.
"Lord Zhao, what do you mean by this, we are all innocent!"
"That's right, let us go, I'm still in a hurry to do business! Do you pay for the loss? ”
"Why are we being locked up here like prisoners!"
For a while, the lobby, which was not very quiet, became even more noisy.
"Everyone, be quiet!" Lord Zhao saw that this situation would not be stopped and would not be able to end, so he shouted: "This official said that the killer and murderer may be among them, everyone should not be excited, when the truth is found out, this official will let him go!" ”
"If you say it's off, it's off! I'm not a murderer anyway, let me go! A middle-aged uncle shouted excitedly, looking at his dress, like a businessman.
"No one can leave, this is the order of this officer!"
"Orders? Whoever is an official is amazing? Bullying us ordinary people? ”
"That's right, what's so great about being an official?"
"We're not afraid of your ......."
Obviously, Lord Zhao's words caused everyone's dissatisfaction, and people from all walks of life kept shouting, Lord Zhao's face was a little gloomy, and finally he had to suppress everyone with official authority.
"Lord Zhao."
Ye Mo on the side looked at the scene and said slowly, "Now the corpse is still in the room, right?" ”
"Well, Ye Gongzi will follow me to take a look."
Lord Zhao led Ye Mo to the No. 1 room of Tianzi.
As Ye Mo saw last night, the scene of the crime was not destroyed and remained in its original state.
Ye Mo pretended not to have come, and examined it carefully.
"Ye Gongzi, how is it? What did you find? ”
Ye Mo smiled faintly: "Judging from the traces on the neck, the deceased was cut with a sharp weapon such as a kitchen knife, although the knife is sharp, but the murderer is not good at using a knife." In addition, there was some table salt between the fingernails of the deceased, and his fingers were smooth, and the skin was dry elsewhere, indicating that the person had been dealing with salt for a long time. There are only two kinds of people who deal with salt, one is the cook, and the other is the salt merchant. I looked through his luggage just now, things were simple, only some clothes, and there was nothing to prove his identity when I searched all over my body, I wonder if he came to this inn to have a carriage or goods or other things? ”
Lord Zhao ordered someone to call the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper's face was a little pale, he should have been frightened by this murder. The shopkeeper of Yaleju is surnamed Zhang, but he is also a shrewd and capable person, who treats people enthusiastically on weekdays and runs this inn prosperously.
Lord Zhao relayed Ye Mo's question to Shopkeeper Zhang, Shopkeeper Zhang thought about it, and invited a shopkeeper to ask, only to know that this guest did not have a carriage and freight with him, but only came to the inn alone, and had lived for many days.
Ye Mo's face did not change, he only nodded lightly, and did not say anything.
"If there is no goods, what if there is salt between his fingernails? I've been here for a few days, it's impossible not to wash my hands, right? Lord Zhao stared at Shopkeeper Zhang suspiciously.
"My lord, how could this little one know, but he did come alone." Shopkeeper Zhang shouted with a panicked face, and rubbed the shopkeeper on the side, "Dog, you are responsible for serving the guests in this room, you can tell Lord Zhao quickly!" ”
The shopkeeper named Goudan hurriedly replied: "Lord Zhao, the little one has been serving the guests in this room for several days, and the guests almost don't go out every day, and even the meals are sent to the room. ”
"And what does he do every time you go to his room?"
"I didn't do anything, I usually looked at the scenery at the window and drank tea."
Ye Mo looked at this dog lightly, this person was the second shopkeeper who bumped into Ye Mo when he first arrived at the inn that day.
"Do you remember what this man looked like?" Ye Mo asked.
Goudan looked at Ye Mo and replied respectfully: "Remember, this guest is very kind-looking, a middle-aged man, and he treats people very well, and he will tip me every time he goes." ”
"If he is a kind person, why should he lead to the murder of a severed head?" Ye Mo stared at the dog egg with a smile, and the dog egg seemed to feel this strange look, but somehow, it was a little weak.
"My lord, Lord Zhao, it's not good, it's not good.........."
Suddenly, there was a shout from outside the door, and a subordinate of Lord Zhao hurriedly ran in.
"What's so flustered?"
"Li Xiucai's house in the east of the city.... Hair.... A skull was found! The comer obviously came all the way, and he was out of breath when he spoke, and finally finished his sentence.
"What!?"
"Let's go, let's see!"
