Chapter 18: The Murderer

Liu Ya had no choice but to say, "What were you doing last night, and someone can prove it." ”

"I went out last night when I first arrived, and when I returned, they could all testify for me. The middle-aged shopkeeper said.

Xiao Er said, "There are more guests in our teahouse at night than during the day, and the small ones are busy all the time, and they have been going around in the front hall and back kitchen, and the people in the kitchen can testify, and the guests in the box close the door and do not call us, we will not push the door to disturb." ”

Then there is Suspect No. 1, a bearded knife man dressed full of Jianghu flavor, he said impatiently and disdainfully, "I'm so tired from the road, I fell asleep after eating last night, although no one can testify, but I don't need to kill him at all, I have a knife, why bother to poison this grandson, I had a conflict with him before, it was because he hit me, and the wicked person sued first, blaming me for walking and not looking at the road, if it wasn't for Xiao Er's desperate stop, to send me side dishes and wine, I would have gouged off his mouth and threw it to feed the dog!"

Then there was Suspect No. 2, a richly dressed young man, he snorted coldly, "I was in the Piaoxiang Courtyard at that time, and the girls there could all testify for me, and I was already ugly when I came back, and this arrogant boy was afraid that he would have gone to sell salted duck eggs earlier, and I just wanted to find fault and I had to wait until I saw him again today." ”

Seeing that the yacha next to them was recording their confessions, and letting them take turns pressing their finger prints, Liu Ya muttered, "Let them stand down first." "She can't jump to conclusions until the body is clear.

The yacha took the people out, Liu Ya glanced at the people in the room who were almost full, and sighed, "It is not advisable for too many people to move around the scene of the crime, otherwise the environmental evidence will be destroyed, which will increase the difficulty of solving the case in disguise, and the real murderer will get away with it at any time. ”

After they left, Liu Ya looked around the box, the business model of Yunlai Teahouse is a bit like a modern clock hotel, fifteen dollars an hour, and you can also choose to package the night, but if you count the sundries fee, it will cost one or two silver, which belongs to the corner to ask the guests to pack the time and not the night.

Fu Liu is a famous frequent visitor here, the shopkeeper and Xiao Er know his identity, and the time he comes here is also very regular, about once every three days, every time he is with a woman named Rumeng who died next to him, and every time he comes to order the same dish, it seems that because the woman likes it very much.

After learning more details from Liang Sheng's mouth, Liu Ya looked at the five dishes, one soup and a pot of wine that had not been touched much on the dinner table, and his eyes stopped at the two wine glasses, on the white porcelain glass, at the edge of the cup, one had a touch of light red, and the other had traces like diluted dry brown soil, like a foundation with deep coverage.

Liu Ya picked up the two cups and sniffed them respectively, the cup with light red marks only smelled of wine, while the cup with traces of powder had a fresh chrysanthemum fragrance that the smell of wine could not hide, she said to Du Xingyuan and Liang Sheng, who were puzzled, "It is the taste of high-grade powder, and it is not the female deceased." "Fu Liu doesn't have this smell either.

In other words, there was a mysterious person who had a close relationship with them at the scene, and it was very likely that it was a woman. The cool voice leaned lazily against the door frame and sounded leisurely, "It can't even be ruled out that this person is the murderer." ”
