Chapter 169 Murder at the Inn ([-])

"Hehe, you still dare to hide! Little bastard, just stand there and don't move! You guys go and find out if there is a cesspit nearby!"

Zhao Guang was really going crazy, he yelled twice, but there was nothing he could do with the old monk.

"My lord!" The old butler was carried out of the room.

After riding the horse for several hours, the old housekeeper lost half his life and his legs were temporarily disabled. He heard the noise outside the room, and hurriedly called someone to come over to ask about the situation. According to the result of his previous discussion with Zhao Guang Well, there shouldn't have been such a big commotion. After hearing the report from the visitor, he realized that they had all missed the existence of the old monk. Who would have thought of such a thing, the emperor's seventh grandpa would follow!
It's a pity that the old butler may be considered a figure in the eyes of the servants of the Duke of Dingguo, but in the eyes of those in the hall, he is no different from the waiter in the shop, his existence can be ignored, and it is useless to make a sound.

Lin Huai was very conflicted. Seeing the old monk chasing Zhao Guang in the hall, he really wanted to see how Zhao Guang was dealt with by the old monk in the end, but Qin Wubing...

Qin Wubing didn't have time to care about what happened in the hall at the moment. Because of the heavy rain, the corpses were all piled up under the eaves of a courtyard. Distant yamen:

"You may remember which courtyard these body parts were found in?"

Several yamen servants stood in front of Fu Yin Zheng Tuo, as if helping him to block his sight, when they heard Qin Wubing's question, they all turned to look at Zheng Tuo, Zheng Tuo hurriedly said: "When we arrive, These corpses have been placed here, Shizi’s entourage said, after searching several times, they are all here, this is the innkeeper, maybe he knows something.”

Zheng Tuo pointed to the pale middle-aged man behind him.

Qin Wubing slightly nodded at the innkeeper, and then asked Zheng Tuo: "Did Lord Fuyin order someone to check carefully the kitchen, cellar, storeroom, staff's quarters and other places in the inn?"

Zheng Tuo sighed and said: "I checked it, but the prince ordered someone to clean it before, and everything was clean, and nothing was found. The prince rented out this inn, which saves me from sending someone to seal it up, but, yes It's so clean!"

Qin Wubing first greeted Zhao Guang's family in his heart, then bowed his hands to Zheng Tuo, and then looked at the innkeeper.

"In the past few days, among the inn's clerks, chefs, and cashiers, have any personnel lost or asked to resign or ask for leave?" Qin Wubing asked the innkeeper.

"No! Everything is fine."

"Are there any guests who disappeared without paying their bills?"

"No! There are bills."

"How do you settle the rent at the inn? Do you pay it together when you leave or once a day?"

"Yes, the deposit is paid first. The tenants often give the deposit in full. Most of the money is refunded by us at the checkout."

"There are no guests in these three courtyards in the past few days?"

"none!"

"Aren't these three courtyards locked when there are no residents on weekdays?"

"It's locked, but the key is on the cabinet, and the shop assistants know it."

"Is the key still there?"

The innkeeper nodded.

"Is it placed on the cabinet in the hall for easy cleaning?"

"One is for the convenience of cleaning, and the other is to open the courtyard door in time when guests arrive. Adults don't know about it, because residents often bring their own daily necessities, and their servants will arrive first to rearrange and clean the courtyard, so Your Excellency has also seen that there is nothing else in this courtyard except furniture and beds, but I have prepared a complete set and put it in the warehouse. Once the residents need it, the guys will deliver it immediately..."

"Has anyone moved the keys in the past few days?"

The innkeeper repeatedly shook his head and said: "I didn't pay attention, I really don't know, there is nothing valuable in the yard, it's all in the warehouse, this key is not strictly guarded."

Qin Wubing looked at the sky, gritted his teeth and said to Xiaoer: "Go to Shizi, tell him that I want to dig up the body, and the attendants come and ask questions!"

Xiao Er hurried out.

Zheng Tuo hurriedly asked, "Is this helpful to the case?"

Qin Wubing endured the resentment in his heart, did not explain too much, but said:
"Your Majesty Zheng doesn't need to stay here. There must be official business in the government office. Just arrange a few servants to help me, and it will save you from being caught between me and the son."

Zheng Tuo was moved, and he hurriedly said: "Captain Qin, don't worry, this is in Jinling! If you need me to do something, you can directly order someone to tell me."

Qin Wubing cupped his fists at Zheng Tuo, and Zheng Tuo also cupped his hands, then turned around and rushed into the rain, facing Xiao Er who was running back, Zheng Tuo hurriedly quickened his pace.

"Seventh Young Master, the elder said that the person who used him is not your case..."

Before Xiao Er finished speaking, Qin Wubing was already furious, stepped into the courtyard and rushed to the inn angrily, Zheng Tuo, who was walking in front, hastened his pace.

In the hall of the inn, the old monk was tired from chasing and sat down to take a rest. He pointed to Zhao Guang and said, "Wait, if I turn you into a dung beetle today, my family of decades will be for nothing." !"

The old steward was so anxious in the servant's arms that he hurriedly opened his mouth and wanted to say a few words for his son: "The old ancestor calm down, the son has a pure temperament..."

"Whose ancestor are you calling? Who is your ancestor?! You deserve it too!" The old monk had just finished cursing when he saw Qin Wubing rush in from the back door.

"Big Brother and Second Brother hold this fake heir to me, and I'll rub his face with the hand that just touched the corpse!" Qin Wubing said angrily while rolling up his sleeves.

Lin Huai and Guo Yi were stunned, and Guo Yi reacted first: "A fake prince?"

"It must be false! How could the real prince not know how to investigate the case and ask questions? But he just obstructed it. I suspect that the murderer of this murder case is him! Xiaofu, go back to the post immediately to report to the prince, and say that this The fake heir does not allow the attendants who found the body parts to listen to my questioning. I have no choice but to take down the suspects first! Xiaomo, bring me my nunchucks! Today I will give up this one I want to make this unknown, shit-minded thing abolished!"

Xiao Mo wanted to say that the nunchuck was on your waist, but felt that the seventh young master was just talking, so he didn't say anything.

Zhao Guang was also very tired after being chased by the old monk, and it was even more tiring to think that he still had tea stains on his body!Seeing that Qin Wubing suddenly appeared and went crazy, he wanted to deal with him. He couldn't get angry with the old monk just now, so he found an exit.

"If you are incompetent, you are incapable. What does it have to do with asking questions?" Zhao Guang shouted with all his strength: "I am a dignified son who can be questioned by a small policeman like you? Now I order someone to beat you to death, just like If you kill a servant, you won't even be reprimanded..."

"No, what reprimand is there if you die?" The eldest princess stepped over the threshold and walked in: "Duke Dingguo's mansion is really in decline. One generation is not as good as the next. Go back and tell your father. I said it, and I have something else to tell your father for me, if Ding Guogong looks like you, don't mind it!"
