Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 14 Disappearing Deposits

"What!?" Hearing such news, Zhao Yu suddenly jumped into a rage, "My lord, the grandsons of Wude Bank are so bold, do you know that You Dalang is dead, and want to confuse the money?" ?”

"Boss, probably not!" said the policeman, "We checked their account books, and there is indeed no record of You Dalang!"

"Yes," the other echoed, "We have interrogated the treasurer and fellows of the bank separately, and they all proved that You Dalang did not deposit money with them!

"Besides," the person added, "You Dalang died in prison, how could people outside know so quickly?"

"Yeah, it's really strange," Zhao Yu scratched his head and speculated, "Could it be... You Dalang didn't deposit the money in the Wude Bank at all? Did he deposit it in another bank?"

"But," the policeman replied, "there is only Wude Bank in Xinye County? If not there, where else can it be stored?"

"What the hell happened?" Zhao Yu glanced at Xu Zun, and said anxiously, "According to the clerk's estimation, the silk and satin shop's profit is at least several thousand taels of silver. How can you just say that you don't have such a large sum of money?"

Xu Zun didn't care too much about those deposits, but he was naturally very curious about where the money went.

These disappearing deposits further confirmed that You Dalang had problems and made the case more meaningful.

It is conceivable that the whereabouts of the money may be related to the truth of You Dalang's murder of his wife.

"Let me ask you!" Zhao Yu grabbed Jia Liu's collar and asked angrily, "Quickly tell me, where did You Dalang keep the money?"

"Wu...Wu De Bank!" Jia Liu replied tremblingly, "Every time the account is settled, the shopkeeper You said he went to Wu De Bank!"

"What? He said?" Zhao Yu finally realized what the problem was. "So, you haven't seen it with your own eyes?"

"That's right, that's right," Jia Liu nodded, "Every time Shopkeeper You saves money by himself, we are not allowed to follow."

"This... ah!" Zhao Yu smashed his fist in frustration, and after thinking about it, he asked Jia Liu, "Do you know who you shopkeeper You usually has a good relationship with? Who do you often contact with?" ?”

Jia Liu thought for a while, then shook his head and replied: "On weekdays, apart from those customers who buy silk and satin to make clothes, I don't see any friends from Shopkeeper You?"

"Young lady!" Zhao Yu cursed angrily again, and said to Xu Zun, "My lord, it seems that we can only cast a net and try our luck!"

Zhao Yu's so-called "casting the net" is to ask the police to go to the market to find someone to ask, to see if anyone has seen where You Dalang has taken the money.

However, everyone knew in their hearts that since You Dalang concealed the whereabouts of the savings from the shop assistants, he must be very careful, and the probability of finding clues was low.

Of course Xu Zun can think of this level, but at this moment, he has already thought of a deeper level, and it is an exciting level.

"Zhao Butou," Xu Zun said, "Hasn't it already been said many times before? Although You Dalang has no friends, he has many confidante..."

"Oh?" Zhao Yu savored Xu Zun's meaning, and suddenly realized, "Oh... Your lord means—Huaxianglou!?"

Xu Zun smiled slightly, obviously exactly what he meant.

He has watched a lot of costume detective dramas, and it seems that the protagonists in them all found clues from the land of fireworks full of beauties!

Since You Dalang is a VIP of Huaxianglou, and he plays so happily every time, is it just a cover-up?
Could the whereabouts of his huge deposit be related to Huaxianglou?

"Your Excellency is really wise!" Zhao Yu was shrewd, and immediately understood Xu Zun's meaning, and said, "I'll bring someone to investigate this humble job!"

"How about..." Xu Zun said excitedly, "I'll go with you! I have to check them out!"

On the surface, he is serious, but in fact he is already eager to try.

He has long been very curious about this ancient place of fireworks, and now that the opportunity is rare, he naturally wants to broaden his horizons.

"This..." However, Zhao Yu coughed, pulled Xu Zun aside, and reminded him in a low voice, "My lord, I think it's better if you don't go!"

"Why?" Xu Zun was surprised.

"Well, although we know that you are going to investigate the case in an upright manner, but..." Zhao Yu said, "Miss Shen..."

Emmm...

Xu Zun suddenly felt like pouring cold water on him, and even forgot that he was still the son-in-law.

Zhao Yu was right to remind, he just got into trouble, and the scandal with Chun Niang has already spread in the public, if he goes to Huaxianglou again, it is obviously very inappropriate.

Ok!

For his own ideals, Xu Zun had no choice but to forbear, and said to Zhao Yu: "If this is the case, then I won't go!"

"Don't worry, my lord!" Zhao Yu clasped his fists, "The humble job will definitely investigate thoroughly, and will never let go of any clues!"

Xu Zun naturally wouldn't worry about this, Zhao Yu wanted to find You Dalang's deposit more than anyone else.

Thousands of taels of silver, with a little profit, would be enough for him to spend for several years.

"Okay!" Xu Zun urged, "When you come back, try to explain the details to me as clearly as possible. If it doesn't work, bring those girls who are in love with You Dalang to the yamen, and let me interrogate them myself!"

"Yes!"

After taking the order, Catcher Zhao immediately took his men to Huaxianglou to investigate.

Xu Zun searched around the silk and satin village again, but still found nothing.

Seeing that it was getting late, he ordered the arresters to guard the silk and satin house, and then left by himself.

Walking on the Rimu Avenue in Xinye County again, watching the people passing by on the street and feeling the coldness, Xu Zun couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional again.

From now on, are you going to live in this strange world?

Recalling the past life, looking forward to the present life, with mixed feelings, but longing for it.

In this way, his desire to live a lifetime became stronger again.

Although he didn't have a golden finger, and even though he was involved in the vortex as soon as he appeared on the stage, he believed that he would be able to settle the predicament and make his life better.

In fact, since the investigation of the case, it can be basically concluded that You Dalang killed Chunniang because of the grievances and conflicts between him and Chunniang.

Therefore, Xu Zun only needs to go home and get a good night's sleep, and the case will come to an end when Catcher Zhao finds out the whereabouts of the deposits.

His focus is still on how to marry Miss Shen, Bai Fumei.

However, the keen intuition of being an undercover agent for many years still makes Xu Zun unable to let go of this case.

He still felt that something was wrong with this case, as if some details had been overlooked.

So, he returned to the prison again without thinking about dinner, and was going to examine You Dalang's body with Wu Zuo.

Unexpectedly, when he returned to the prison, Wu Zuo had already finished examining the body.

"Master Xu," said Wu Zuo, a hairless old man named Wang Shuncai, "I have already checked the body of Shopkeeper You, and he really hit a wall and died!"

"Nonsense!" Xu Zun asked, pointing to the corpse lying flat on the autopsy table, "I asked you to come here not to see if he hit a wall and died, but to see if it was homicide or suicide?"

"Ah? This..." Wang Shuncai said tremblingly, "It's really hard to see! I've seen quite a few corpses that hit a wall and died, but it's the first time that shopkeeper You just hit a corner. suffer!"

indeed……

Xu Zun pondered in his heart, You Dalang hit his head on the corner of the wall, it is really difficult to judge whether it is homicide or not.

At this moment, You Dalang's clothes had been taken off, and Xu Zun saw that there were corpse spots and some bruises on his body.

However, these bruises also mean nothing, because You Dalang was scuffled during the process of being taken to prison by the police, and it is normal to have bruises on his body.

However, when Xu Zun inspected You Dalang's body carefully, he suddenly found something, and his eyes lit up!
And the next second, he took another breath...
