Ye Caitang said: "Then when you listen to her voice, you can always tell what age it is." Is the voice deep or clear? Indifference or mildness? ”

Unexpectedly, the innkeeper said categorically: "Gentle." ”

Gentle?

Everyone turned their heads to look at the three corpses on the ground, all of which had been killed by twisting their necks alive.

Although the death of the knife and axe is also very miserable, and it is even more bloody and terrifying, Ye Caitang always feels that strangling a person with his bare hands requires the highest psychological quality of the murderer.

The direct contact between skin and skin, the sound of bones breaking in one's own hand, is not something that ordinary people can bear.

The innkeeper is still reminiscing.

"She said she was here to find someone, and I didn't think much about it, so I told her the location. Then she went upstairs, and after a little while, I don't know if there was a quarter of an hour, she went downstairs and left. When I left, I was the same as when I came, empty-handed, nothing changed, and I didn't pay much attention to it. ”

There was no money, no blood, and the murderer's only purpose for coming to this trip was to kill Wang Xi unknowingly.

If it weren't for Xia Yue and the others who happened to come over, at least tomorrow morning, when the caravan set off and couldn't wait for him, they would not find his body when they came to find someone.

In half a day and a night, the murderer has long been unknown.

Xia Yue said: "Go and call up the guests in the left and right rooms, I want to ask." ”

It's already dark at this hour, but the left and right are actually already alarmed, so you don't need to scream, just call out.

It's a pity that the murderer came during the day, and most of the people next door were not in the house, and he was still drunk too much in the house, and he didn't hear any sound at all, and he didn't see anyone.

However, judging from the fact that Wang Xi's wife and son were knocked unconscious and then strangled to death, the murderer should not have made too much noise.

Ye Caitang suddenly called the innkeeper: "Look at the shopkeeper, the three of them, when they stayed in the hotel today, were they wearing this dress?" ”

The shopkeeper looked at it: "No." None of the three. ”

"Then after they moved in, did they never leave?"

"Yes." The innkeeper said categorically: "I have been behind the counter at the door all afternoon, and if they have left, I will definitely be able to see it." ”

I'm very confident.

Ye Caitang said in a low voice: "My lord, come over for a moment." ”

Xia Yue hurriedly walked over, only to see Ye Caitang from Wang Xi's wife's side, on the edge of the fallen inkstone, there was a leaf.

"What is this?" Xia Yue reached out to pick it up, but was stopped by Ye Caitang.

Ye Caitang took out a snow-white handkerchief from his arms, carefully picked up the leaf and put it on the handkerchief.

"This room is very clean, there are no trees on the other side of the window, this leaf should be foreign. It may have been brought by Wang Xi and his wife, or it may have been brought by the murderer. Ye Caitang said: "Wang Xi and the three have already changed their clothes, I suspect that it may be brought by the murderer." ”

It's not cold this day, just get a bucket of water in the room and take a shower. The guys in the inn confirmed that Wang Xi took a shower and changed clothes after they checked in, and the old clothes were directly taken away by them, and they had already been washed and hung in the backyard at this time.

Although Wang Xi is not very rich, and the clothes are not bad, give it to the guy, the guy is still very happy.

There was inevitably a lot of water in the bath, so after they had taken a shower, the guy came in again to clean up.

A leaf on the floor, although not big, is actually quite noticeable.

The people from the local government office soon came, and when the local head catcher saw Xia Yue, he immediately obeyed and obeyed.

Xia Yue didn't have to tell them the details of the case, just asked them to transport the body back to the capital.

Before leaving, the owner of the silver building was reluctant to give up, and sent him off eighteen miles, looking at the three thousand taels of stolen silver that he was temporarily confiscated and guarded, tears rippled.

Xia Yue and the others found Wang Xi, and the others naturally returned empty-handed.

However, when they returned to the six doors, they saw Xie Zhi looking wilted.

Everyone is weird.

Ye Caitang said with concern: "Brother Xie, what's wrong?" Didn't you say that it is not appropriate to go out these days, is it going out? Unlucky? ”

Xie Zhi sighed and shook his head.

I don't know what he meant, he didn't go out, or he wasn't unlucky.

Xie Zhi didn't say anything, and Aunt Lin secretly said to Ye Caitang in the evening: "Yesterday, Xiao Xie Gongzi's master came here, and he seems to be a powerful person with an identity." Fairy wind bone. ”

That's right, Xie Zhi is a famous family, Ye Caitang nodded.

Could it be that something happened to his master Haiwangtian? So Xie Zhi is worried? But no, Xie Zhi's temper is not twisted, if something happens to Haiwangtian's seniors, he will definitely ask for help.

Taking a step back, even if he doesn't need to ask for help, he should go back to help, why is he still here?

Aunt Lin said: "Xiao Xie Gongzi's master is quite fierce, and he has disciplined people with his head and face. He looked old, and he was in good health, and his voice could be heard from both courtyards. ”

“……”

Ye Caitang was a little confused.

"His master didn't stay together for a quarter of an hour, rushed in in a hurry, and then scolded Gongzi Xie and left."

“……”

Aunt Lin was also curious: "Caitang, do you know what's going on?" ”

"I don't know." Ye Caitang was also confused: "I knew that Xie Zhi was the most favored and youngest apprentice of the Hai seniors. is a disciple who closes the door, it's like a grandson, what kind of thing can make him come over and not scold? ”

No wonder Xie Zhi is like a cabbage beaten by frost, wilting a little.

Deserved it, Ye Caitang gloated, who told him not to go on a business trip with me, work to keep safe, if his master pounced, maybe after a long time, he would not be so angry next time he saw him.

I don't know if he was beaten or not, but it's strange and happy to think about it.

Everyone was very curious, but it was not easy to ask, and in the end, Xia Yue lived up to expectations, and under the instigation of everyone, in the name of concern, he talked to Xie Zhi.

"Thank you." Xia Yue said: "I heard that Senior Hai came to you today, and it wasn't very pleasant?" ”

Xie Zhi did not speak.

Xia Yue said earnestly: "Since you are in the six gates, you are a family. If you have any difficulties, you may wish to speak up and see if you can help. ”

Although the reputation of Six Doors is not good, we have always been as warm as spring to our colleagues.

Xie Zhi sighed: "There is no difficulty. It was the master who thought that I was not serious, not positive, not have a proper attitude, and was not diligent in my work, so he came to scold me. ”

The crowd who was eavesdropping was amazed.

No wonder Haiwangtian is famous and admired by everyone. If you look at people's attitude towards the world, it's worth learning.
