“Another death!”
Outside the guest room, the waiter's sharp and frightened shouts disappeared with the sound of stomping down the stairs; in the guest room, Nangong Yue, who was completely awake, tried to sit up, but was held by a strong arm around her shoulders. Pressed back.
Beside the pillow, Xiao Yi's hoarse voice came into Nangong Yue's ears: "It's just past time, A Yue, you didn't sleep for a few hours last night, please sleep a little longer." He gently coaxed her. coaxed.
As he spoke, it became even noisier outside, with the sounds of doors opening and questions from guests coming from time to time.
"Why is there another murder?"
"But isn't the yamen's servant still at the inn?"
"This prisoner must be too bold to kill two people in a row!"
"..."
While talking, those people also went downstairs one after another.
Nangong Yue turned over and looked face to face with Xiao Yi. His eyes were clear, and it was obvious that he had woken up a long time ago.
"Ayi, I also want to sleep for a while, but..." Nangong Yue yawned lazily. Before she could say the next words, she heard the sound of "gurgling" gastrointestinal peristalsis coming from her abdomen. Come.
Nangong Yue covered her stomach, wrinkled her face, and said solemnly: "Ayi, I'm hungry."
I don’t know if it was because she barely slept in the second half of the night, but she was hungry now.
Xiao Yi was a little surprised, startled, couldn't help laughing, sat up first, and then deliberately said in a delicate voice: "Princess, let Yi'er serve you to get up."
After many years of marriage, Nangong Yue has long been accustomed to him acting out from time to time. She calmly raised her hand to signal him to help her up.
Wash, cleanse, dress, put on socks and shoes, and comb her hair. Xiao Yi does these things quite smoothly. She braided them neatly, making Nangong Yue look alive. Several years younger.
Nangong Yue looked at herself in the bronze mirror with satisfaction, then got up and went downstairs with Xiao Yi.
This time, the dead man's room is obviously on the second floor.
At the door of the guest room second from the staircase, two government officials were guarding the door. There were many guests gathered at the door, and even the staircase was somewhat crowded.
Those people were discussing among themselves with sad expressions on their faces.
Nangong Yue frowned and remembered something. She still remembers that this room should be the room of Master Ding and Mrs. Ding. Could it be that...
The next moment, a rough male voice answered her doubts: "Hey, tell me, why did Mr. Ding hang himself when he was so good?"
Immediately afterwards, several other voices also joined the discussion:
“You can imagine how miserable life is when a man knocks on the door. It’s so frustrating!”
"Who knows if he committed suicide? Maybe the murderer last night took action again and hung him up?"
"It's hard to say!"
"Hey, tell me...are there any murderous murderers lurking in this inn?"
"Brother, don't scare me?!"
"..."
Nangong Yue walked down the stairs quickly, but did not go to the lobby on the first floor. Instead, she walked towards Master Ding’s guest room. The Yamen guarding the door immediately stopped her and said expressionlessly: "Idle man No entry!"
Nangong Yue had no intention of going in and stood at the door. She just wanted to take a look at the scene.
From her angle, she could see a figure in white clothes hanging from the beams in the room, his back facing the door, his feet dangling slightly in the air, on the floor directly below It was a mess, a round red lacquered wooden stool fell to the ground, surrounded by broken pieces of celadon teapots and cups, tea was flowing freely, and the charcoal fire in the charcoal basin was still burning...
"Ayue, aren't you hungry?" Xiao Yi walked over and said dissatisfiedly.
Nangong Yue turned around, took his hand and showed a flattering smile, "Let's go downstairs for breakfast."
The two people came and left in a hurry, causing the two government officials to look at each other. They always felt that there was an inappropriate feeling in the words and deeds of these two young couples: Two people died in this inn! Would ordinary people be so calm and calm when encountering such an unlucky thing?
When Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue arrived at the lobby on the first floor, they found that most of the guests were already gathered there, drinking tea and talking. The most eye-catching one among them was probably Mrs. Ding.
Mrs. Ding was sitting in the corner, holding a handkerchief in her hand. On her pale oval face, tears fell from a pair of sleeping phoenix eyes. Her body was trembling slightly, like a delicate flower that had been ravaged by the wind and rain. generally.
The woman in Tsing Yi at the next table looked at Mrs. Ding with sympathy, waved to Mrs. Ding's maid Xia Lian, and asked with concern: "Little girl, your wife's cold is feeling better, right?" I heard her coughing all the time. After I returned to the room this morning, I didn’t seem to hear your wife coughing. It was so quiet that I fell asleep until almost midnight, but I still woke up when I heard a thud from the next door..."
"Sister, I'm so rude for disturbing you all night last night..." Mrs. Ding wiped her tears and said apologetically, her eyes red.
"Mrs. Ding, you are too polite!" The woman in Tsing Yi comforted the other party softly, "Mrs. Ding, please forgive me and be patient!" At this moment, she seemed to like her man a lot more. No matter how bad this man is, life is better than death!
Not only the woman in green, but also the other guests in the lobby, Boss Huang, and the waiter were all looking in the direction of Mrs. Ding, whispering with different expressions, obviously discussing the death of Mr. Ding, among whom the expression was the most The one who is struggling is probably Boss Huang. He is in no mood to sympathize with Mrs. Ding. The person who should be sympathized with most here is himself. Now, his inn is completely ruined. Two people died, enough to spread the news throughout the dozens of surrounding areas. Inside.
I am afraid that after the government concludes the case, his small shop will close down! Thinking about it, Boss Huang couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"Boss, hurry up and serve some of your store's specialty breakfasts."
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue found a table to sit down at, and gave Boss Huang instructions.
Boss Huang finally came to his senses and responded hurriedly: "Sir, please wait a moment, I'll be here soon!"
After a while, the fat waiter served Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue a sumptuous breakfast. The aroma of the food spread in the lobby, making people's index fingers twitch.
Several customers who had no appetite at first suddenly felt hungry, so the big man in gray shouted at the top of his voice: "Boss, give me two scallion flower rolls and a side of shepherd's purse wontons."
Eat, eat, eat! Besides eating, what else do you know? The woman in green glared at her man. Before she could speak, she heard other people ordering breakfast, leaving Boss Huang not sure whether to be happy or to continue to worry.
After another cup of tea, when Team Leader He brought Liu Wuzuo and a few government officials to the inn again, he saw that the people in this room were enjoying their meals, and he almost doubted whether he had gone in the wrong direction. A place?
This is the Yunlai Inn where two murders occurred, that’s right!
"He Bantou!" Boss Huang hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and once again led He Bantou and others to the second floor...
After a cup of tea, they came down again.
Nangong Yue took a bite of the soft-skinned fried bean paste sesame **** and went away after hearing the sound. She saw Bantou He and his team walking downstairs and walking towards Mrs. Ding in the corner with a clear purpose and asked: "Mrs. Ding, listen. Are you saying that you and your maid were the first to discover Master Ding’s body?”
"Yes, Captain He." Mrs. Ding took the handkerchief and wiped her tears again, sobbed and nodded, "My husband has been in a trance since he returned to his room early this morning. He seems to have something on his mind. I am not feeling well. , after drinking hot **** soup, I fell asleep. When I woke up at the beginning of Chenchu, I felt a little hungry, but my master was sleeping deeply and didn’t wake up even after calling several times. I didn’t want to disturb his rest, so I took Xia Lian went downstairs to eat... Who would have known that when we went upstairs after breakfast, we saw my master hanging himself from the beam... If I had known, if I had known, I would have called breakfast to the guest room!"
As she spoke, Mrs. Ding's tears burst out like a tide again, and her chest heaved rapidly.
"Madam, please take care of yourself!" Her maid Xia Lian hurriedly helped caress her chest to calm her down.
Nangong Yue had just finished eating fried bean paste and sesame balls, and Xiao Yi put another piece of jujube and yam cake to her mouth. She had no choice but to open her mouth obediently and continue to pay attention to Mrs. Ding.
"Boss He, that's true!" Boss Huang nodded hurriedly next to Team He, "Mrs. Ding went upstairs for the first time, and then the waiter and I heard the shouts of Mrs. Ding and Xia Lian. "When I went upstairs, I saw Mr. Ding hanging from the beam, with his tongue hanging out..." He looked like he was dead at first glance.
Botou He squinted his eyes and thought, touching the scabbard on his waist with his right hand and seeming to mutter to himself: "It's half past time now. Liu Wuzuo said that Mr. Ding's body is still warm... less than one person is dead. hour, that is to say, he should have hanged himself between half past hour and six hours of the hour."
During this period, Mrs. Ding and her maid Xia Lian were having breakfast in the lobby. In other words, Mr. Ding probably chose to hang himself from the beam when Mrs. Ding was not around.
Then, Bantou He asked several of his cadres to ask one by one where other people present were at between half past midnight and four o'clock in the morning. Most of the answers they got were the same:
"Me? I was eating breakfast here during that time! If you don't believe me, ask the second brother!"
"I didn't sleep in the middle of the night last night, and I slept in the guest room all morning."
The former is like the big man in gray, an old man, a few businessmen, etc., and the latter is like Xiao Yi, Nangong Yue, the woman in green, Mrs. Zhong's maid, etc.
When asked about a middle-aged businessman, he said with some hesitation: "I slept in my room in the morning...but last night..."
Botou He frowned and urged in a cold voice: "What happened last night?"
The middle-aged businessman was startled and replied vigorously: "Actually, I saw Mr. Ding going out last night..."
"Then why didn't you say it before?!" Bantou He asked again.
The middle-aged businessman smiled awkwardly, "I felt hungry in the middle of the night last night, so I quietly went to the kitchen... Aren't I afraid that I couldn't explain myself clearly?" Besides, if this is involved in a murder case, I'm afraid it will be very serious. Don't even think about leaving this town for half a month. What will happen to the goods he brought this time? !
Bot Leader He looked at Mrs. Ding and Xia Lian with questioning eyes. The others also looked over. The master and servant looked obviously nervous and looked away with their heads lowered.
Botou He's face was as dark as water and he asked: "Mrs. Ding, didn't you say before that Mr. Ding didn't go out last night?"
Mrs. Ding's delicate body trembled, clear tears fell from the corners of her eyes again, her expression was full of sadness and helplessness...
Xia Lian gritted her teeth, took half a step forward, and said, "Bandou He, actually... In fact, my husband and Mrs. Zhong have already settled down."
This sentence made the whole room explode. The woman in Tsing Yi shook her head and said: "You really know people but not the heart!" She thought that Mr. Ding was someone who knew how to cherish his wife, but she didn't expect it to be so. What a hypocrite!
Xia Lian continued: "My master sneaked out once last night... Later, Mrs. Ding died, and the master begged her not to say that he had gone out."
As Xia Lian narrated, the lobby became quiet again. Nangong Yue tilted her head thoughtfully and unknowingly finished another piece of jujube yam cake and got a bunch of crispy twist fruits.
After a moment, Captain He pondered and speculated: "It seems that these two murders were caused by 'love'. Master Ding and Mrs. Zhong were secretly having an affair. Mrs. Zhong was greedy and entangled, and Master Ding was the son-in-law. , fearing that he would lose everything if this scandal was discovered, he simply killed someone and silenced her. Unexpectedly, Mr. Lin discovered Mrs. Zhong’s veil last night. He knew that sooner or later the Yamen would find him, so he committed suicide out of fear of crime! "
As he said that, Bantou He glanced at Mr. Lin who was busy feeding his wife. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that this young couple was really weird.
Hearing what Bantou He said, there was a commotion in the lobby again. Everyone was sighing and saying:
"It must be so!"
"As the saying goes, 'One night for a husband and a hundred nights of kindness', Master Ding is really cruel!"
"I still feel sorry for Mrs. Ding..."
"..."
Amidst the noise, the woman in green asked boldly: "Bandou He, now that the truth is out, can we leave?"
He Bantou glanced at her sideways, but his expression relaxed a lot, and said: "You can't leave yet. You have to wait until I go back and report to the county magistrate first, and then we will talk after the case is closed." After that, he looked again To the middle-aged businessman, "You come with me to the county government office!"
The middle-aged businessman's face almost collapsed, and everyone heaved a long sigh of relief. Although we still have to wait a day, the case is finally close.
"Kacha!" Nangong Yue took a bite of the twist fruit, put down the remaining half, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then said: "Ayi, I'm afraid the case won't be closed for the time being... …”
Xiao Yi, who was opposite her, didn't know if he heard it or not, and picked up another piece of red bean and coconut pastry roll with chopsticks.
