The carriage galloped to a stop in front of him, and it was Ye Feng's brother-in-law who came out of the carriage, Xie Zhenliang.

His expression was a little aggrieved, his eyes were bloodshot, and he could see that in the past night, he was really busy all night in the numerous Qinlou Chu Pavilions on the banks of the Qinhuai River.

As soon as he got out of the car, the fat man Zhang next to Ye Feng cheered: "Second brother!" and pounced.

Xie Zhenliang was a little surprised, looked at Zhang Fatzi and asked, "Why are you here, third child?"

Zhang Fatzi chattered about how he met Mu Sheng, the Duke of Qianguo, how to enter Beijing together, and how he rescued Ye Feng last night, Xie Zhenliang smiled bitterly: "I was busy all night on the banks of the Qinhuai River last night, and I was half tired to death, but you used to eat and drink in the Guogong Mansion." ”

Zhang Fatzi smiled wickedly when he heard this: "What did the second brother do when he went to the bank of the Qinhuai River, didn't he work all night in the room of which Oiran lady, and he was half tired to death?"

Xie Zhenliang couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "Hugh has to talk nonsense! When did I linger in these fireworks places? I went to investigate the case." ”

Ye Feng also stepped forward to grab Zhang Fatzi, and asked Xie Zhenliang, "How is it?

Xie Zhen said with a straight face: "I went to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion on the bank of the Qinhuai River overnight to find out the origin of Zhao Si's two concubines according to what you said last night. However, there are hundreds of fireworks and willow alleys on the banks of the Qinhuai River, so I think that with Zhao Si's status and financial resources, he must disdain to go to that kind of inferior and cheap secret prostitute kiln, so I started to visit those high-end gardens with luxurious decoration and many lively customers. ”

Ye Feng nodded and said, "Since Uncle Sheng said that Zhao Si spent a lot of money to redeem and buy back these two concubines, they must be high-end places where these businesses are prosperous." ”

Xie Zhenliang continued: "Yes, that's exactly how it should be. But I ran all the places on the banks of the Qinhuai River this night, even if I went to those who were cold, none of them had an impression of Zhao Si, and there was never a woman who ransomed herself in the capital and was a concubine in the capital within two years. ”

Ye Feng was a little surprised: "Could it be that this Zhao Si bought it two years ago?"

Xie Zhenliang shook his head and said: "Zhao Si has only come to the capital to make a living in the past two years, and if he buys back a Qinglou woman, he must be a person who lingers in Fengyue places, how can no one in all the places have an impression of him?"

Ye Feng nodded and said, "It's really strange. ”

Xie Zhenliang said again: "What's even stranger is still to come." I couldn't find it, so I wanted to go back and find Sheng Bo to ask for details, at least ask the names and appearances of the two concubines, and it would be easier to visit. As a result, when I hurried to the outskirts of Beijing in the morning, I met the person sent by Chang Wuyi from the Criminal Department to look for Shengbo, but Shengbo was already missing!"

Ye Feng was taken aback: "What? Sheng Bo is missing?"

Xie Zhenliang said: "Exactly." I asked the tenants of the Zhao family, and they said that Sheng Bo had brought fruits and vegetables into the city yesterday afternoon and had never returned since. ”

Is it missing? Ye Feng remembered the conversation he had in front of the Yang Mansion yesterday afternoon, so after that, this Sheng Bo mysteriously disappeared? But why did he disappear at this time, why did he only disappear after he told him about the haunted house? So how many real things are in this Sheng Bo's words, I'm afraid there is a question mark.

Ye Feng muttered in his heart.

After a moment, he raised his head and said to Xie Zhenliang: "Now that the witnesses are missing, I want to go to the scene of Zhao Si's murder." ”

At this time, Tie Wuru, who had been standing behind him and did not speak, suddenly spoke: "No need. ”

Ye Feng turned around and asked, "Why?"

Tie ruthlessly said: "After talking with Sheng Bo yesterday, I secretly sent someone from Dali Temple to check, and it is indeed as Sheng Bo said, the house is empty, the tables, chairs and furniture have been emptied, and not even a piece of paper has been left, and now it is the residence of the homeless at night, and it is impossible to leave any evidence." ”

Ye Feng was speechless for a while, this iron ruthlessness seemed to be silent, and there were not many words behind Ye Feng and them, in fact, he was also actively investigating in secret, and he really deserved to be one of the "double arrests in the world".

It's just very strange that Zhao Si's case has not yet been clarified, and the government actually failed to control the witnesses, allowing the two witnesses to escape and disappear, and the other did not protect the scene, resulting in the destruction of the scene and the loss of evidence that cannot be investigated.

With a character like Yang Wenchang, it seems that such a mistake should not be made. It's a pity that now that he is also dead, Zhao Si's case is like a dead end, and all clues are broken for a while.

Ye Feng was thinking hard, and the fat man Zhang on the side was a little impatient, and asked, "Where are we going to investigate next?"

Ye Feng blinked his eyes, and suddenly asked, "Third brother, are you hungry?"

One sentence made everyone present stunned, Zhang Fatzi looked up and saw that the sun was almost noon, and muttered: "It's almost noon, we haven't even eaten breakfast, how can we not be hungry?"

Ye Feng smiled: "In that case, let's eat now." ”

After saying that, he held his head high and strode ahead. The two righteous brothers didn't understand, they looked at each other, and they could only follow him.

Tie Wuru seemed to understand something, smiled slightly, and nodded secretly in his heart, since this road can't go through, then change the way, maybe there will be unexpected discoveries. It seems that this Ye Feng really has some ability.

After a while, the group came to the door of the Drunken Immortal Tower.

It was not yet lunch time, there were not many guests in the restaurant, it was a little deserted, Xiao Er was resting on the doorpost, and when he saw Ye Feng and them coming in, he hurriedly greeted him.

Xiao Er respectfully bowed to Ye Feng and the others, "Little one, please meet all the adults." ”

Ye Fengqi said: "Do you recognize us?"

Xiao Er replied with a slight smile: "After the last time a few adults came, the owner passed down the word, a few people came for Qian Jia's murder, and the whole building must cooperate with the investigation of the adults, but all the places where the adults want to go are unimpeded." On that day, it happened to be the owner of the villain who led the adults to the box on the second floor, so he recognized it. ”

Ye Feng said with a smile: "You remember it only once, and it really has a good memory." ”

Xiao Er thanked him and said: "Thank you for your compliment, in fact, the villain's ability is still far behind, that Qian Jia is really powerful, and he will never forget all the guests, and he can distinguish them by listening to their voices only once." ”

Ye Feng nodded: "He has such a ability, and he can be regarded as talented." ”

Xiao Er sighed: "It's a pity that this person is addicted to gambling like his life, and all the little wages he earned were sent to the gambling house, and he also caused the tragic death of his mother, and he also died." ”

Ye Feng looked at him: "So you all believe that he died from the old mother's resentful spirit?"

Xiao Er's whole body was excited: "My lord, forgive us, the owner originally strictly forbade us to talk about this matter, but at that time, it was said that there were more than a dozen people in the Qian Jia's neighborhood, all of whom saw it with their own eyes, how can it be fake?"

Ye Feng waved his hand: "Forget it, we naturally won't tell your owner much, you can take us to the place where Qian Jia rests on weekdays." ”

Xiao Er sighed, led Ye Feng and them through the lobby to the backyard of the restaurant.

The backyard is not big, and on one side is the kitchen, where the cooks are busy preparing all kinds of ingredients to be used for a while. There are a few side rooms on the other side, which is where the guys in the restaurant usually rest.

The side room is very poorly furnished, only a square table, a few benches, nothing special.

Ye Feng looked at it and asked casually: "Since Qian Jia has the ability to never forget, he must be very used in the restaurant, why has he always been just a guy who runs the hall?"

The little two sighed: "This Qian Jia has some skills, his hands and feet are sharp, he is also very sleek, and he is very attentive to serving guests, but unfortunately he is too good at gambling, not to mention that he lost everything, and he borrowed money everywhere, almost everyone in the restaurant has borrowed money, and owes a lot of debts, such a person, who dares to reuse?"

Ye Feng nodded, and the little second said again: "But it's very strange, before he had an accident, he suddenly seemed to have made a fortune and paid off all the debts of everyone in the restaurant, which was enough for a dozen taels of silver." Then he was absent from work and ran to gamble for three days and three nights, and when he went back, something happened. ”

Ye Feng was stunned when he heard this: "You mean that he suddenly became rich before he died?"

Xiao Er nodded: "He said he won money, who knows?"

Ye Feng remembered the various doubts about the murder of Qian Jia that Yang Wenchang said, and muttered to himself in his heart, it seems that this inexplicable fortune may be his talisman!

When I walked out of the side room and passed by the kitchen door, I didn't know what was being fried inside, and the aroma was fragrant. Fat Zhang couldn't help but stop and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Fourth, why don't we eat something first and continue to check?"

At this time, the little two saw this and hurriedly said: "The owner has ordered, if several adults dine in this restaurant, everything will be enjoyed for free." ”

Zhang Fatzi was overjoyed when he heard this, but Ye Feng shook his head and asked, "This is not appropriate, is your owner here now?"

Xiao Er replied: "The owner is not in the building now, he has always been uncertain, and he generally does not come to the building if there is nothing to do." ”

Hearing that Ji Wushuang was not there, Ye Feng shook his head helplessly, sometimes it is like this, it is easier for others to excuse themselves in person out of polite favors, and if they don't make it clear, it is easy to refuse, but it is easy to make people feel embarrassed and offend others counterproductively.

Especially this Ji Wushuang can't afford to offend, so Ye Feng said to Zhang Fatzi: "Just ask for a few home-cooked dishes, but you are not allowed to eat and drink nonsense." ”

Zhang Fatzi was simply overjoyed: "Of course, of course, I have long heard that the dishes of Zuixianlou are first-class in the world, and I have never come to taste them." I heard that especially the stir-fried loin slices, crispy and refreshing, it is a must in the capital, and there is no other place to make it. ”

Unexpectedly, the little two sides had a difficult look and said: "Everything else is fine, but I'm afraid I can't make this stir-fried loin, why don't you change the dish?"

Zhang Fatzi's face sank: "Why?"

Xiao Er had a bitter face: "There is only one master who can fry this fried waist slices, but unfortunately he left after Qian Jia's death, and now the taste made by other masters in the building is much worse, far from the rumored taste." ”

Zhang Fatzi regretted that it was particularly important to master the heat of stir-fried waist slices, one more point would be too old, and one less point would be too fishy, which is indeed not what ordinary cooks can do.

Ye Feng had heard Ji Wushuang say before that after Qian Jia's death, everyone felt that it was a ghost asking for his life and was unlucky, so several masters left Zuixianlou and jumped to other homes, which is also one of the reasons why Zuixianlou's business is not as good as before.

So he asked, "Where did this master go to when he changed jobs?"

Xiao Er shook his head and said: "After several masters left, they all went to other restaurants, but this one has never been seen again, it seems that he left on the tenth day after Qian Jia's death, and boasted that there was a big family in Beijing who paid a lot of money to invite him to go." ”

Ye Feng asked strangely, "The tenth day, why do you remember it so clearly?"

Xiao Er replied: "Because the day after he left, there happened to be a big incident in the capital, and I heard that a high-ranking official was killed by a ghost, and many people ran to see the excitement, and the business of the restaurant was very light that day." ”

Xiao Er nagged and said: "Speaking of which, this master has the best relationship with Qian Jia on weekdays, and Qian Jia once said that his back image is very similar to that of a general who often comes to the restaurant." ”

Stir-fried loin, the missing chef, the bizarre dead runner?

A terrible thought suddenly appeared in Ye Feng's mind, this thought put these clues together, but it was so incredible.

He asked sharply, "What does this master look like?"

Xiao Er didn't know why he suddenly reacted like this, he was startled, and said a little timidly: "He has a chubby face, he is very tall and burly, he usually likes to exercise, and he is full of muscles. By the way, he also has a characteristic, when he was learning to cook in his early years, he accidentally cut off a small part of the tip of the middle finger of his left hand, so his finger is shorter than ordinary people......"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Feng rushed into the kitchen with an arrow step, grabbed a cook's hand, pulled up his sleeve and took a closer look.

Everyone was stunned, wondering why he suddenly became so excited, standing at the kitchen door and looking at him.

After watching it for a long time, Ye Feng walked out of the kitchen without saying a word, and a voice sounded in his head like thunder: "It turned out to be like this!"
