Phoenix Nine Heavens

Chapter 12

"Do you need me to remind you of some details so that you can think more clearly?" Seeing the shopkeeper's reaction, Su Xuan continued.

Judging from the shopkeeper's performance, even if the shopkeeper didn't know the inside story, at least he should have been at the scene and witnessed what happened at that time with his own eyes. Otherwise, when Su Xuan made gestures and said these words, the shopkeeper would not have behaved like this Strong reaction.

"No...don't..." The shopkeeper involuntarily squeezed out these words from his throat, and the sweat on his forehead unconsciously increased a lot, almost flowing down his forehead to his cheeks.

"Tell me!" Seeing that the time was ripe, Su Xuan felt that it was time for the shopkeeper to tell the truth.

"But son, old lady... I really don't know what you want old lady to say!" The shopkeeper obviously lacked confidence, but he still didn't intend to say anything more.

"One night a year ago, a young man brought a girl named Zhenniang to this star observatory and bought a ticket to this star observatory from you. Then there was a quarrel, right? Seeing the shopkeeper struggling, Su Xuan still didn't intend to speak out, so she helped the shopkeeper make a start, and described in detail the scene of Lin Wanrong and He Zhenniang's arrival that night.

Although Su Xuan didn't know about the situation in the Star Observation Building that night, with Su Xuan's intelligence and reasonable deduction, she can naturally restore 80.00% of the real scene, which is almost inseparable from reality.

"Yes! They had a quarrel, but the girl named Zhenniang jumped down, I really didn't notice!" Hearing this, the shopkeeper naturally concluded the conversation, maybe she was worried that this matter would be held accountable , as the boss here, she needs to bear joint and several responsibilities, or maybe she doesn't want to mention this matter, and let her business of the Star Observatory be affected by the death of the year again. After all, her business has finally slowed down.

But no matter what the reasons were, under the pressure of Su Xuan's words again and again, she could only tell some details of the incident that year, because she was at the Star Observation Tower at that time and witnessed what happened that night with her own eyes.

"What did you see that night, tell me exactly!" Su Xuan heard the shopkeeper was forced to say something, so she continued to speak to the shopkeeper.

"That night, He Zhenniang, the sister in charge of Yizhuang, was taken to the Star Observation Tower by a handsome young scholar, saying that she wanted to go up to see the stars and the whole picture of Yuzhou City. The scholar bought two tickets and followed Zhenniang. Mother went upstairs.

Zhenniang was very shy. The scholar wanted to hold her hand, but she instinctively avoided it. The old woman was too busy with business at the time, so she just thought that the two of them were having an awkward relationship.

There are a lot of young couples getting emotional here, and the old woman is no stranger to it, so naturally she doesn't pay attention to these, focusing on her own business.

After a while of busy work, the old woman finally finished her work, and when she was about to take a break, she found that there was a quarrel between two people upstairs. The old woman was worried about something, so she went upstairs to check what happened, but she didn't want the old woman to see the truth when she just arrived upstairs. With a scream, Niang fell directly from the balcony and died on the ground on the spot, bloody and bloody.

The old woman thought that this was broken, that she was dead, and that she would not be able to do business in the future, so she immediately asked someone to report to the official! "

"What happened later?" Su Xuan immediately asked, "What happened to this real mother, where did Lin Wanrong go? What was your reaction at that time?"

"The old woman was only concerned with reporting to the official, and didn't think much about it. When the state officials arrived and waited for her, she found out that Lin Wanrong was gone! The old woman also said that bastard didn't take responsibility!

But later the official sent Wu Zuo to come over for an autopsy, saying that he fell from upstairs, and then questioned the old woman what happened before, and the old woman also told the story of their quarrel. Jumping off the balcony led to the tragedy of the day, and the case was closed like this. "The shopkeeper said immediately.

It seems that because of such a big incident that day, the shopkeeper might not be able to forget that night in his entire life, so under the condition of Su Xuan's constant reminders, the shopkeeper couldn't bear the pressure and brought up that matter again.

"Do you recognize the post-mortem officer that day? Who is the official who handled the case?" Su Xuan continued to ask.Now the clues of this case have been broken here, if you want to know deeper clues, you can only find the clerks and officials who handled the case that day!

And these two people were obviously seen by the shopkeeper, so Su Xuan directly asked the shopkeeper.

"Of course I recognize it. The case-handling officer is Lin Youtong, the arresting head of the Zhizhou Yamen, and the foreman is the mute of the Zhizhou Yamen." The shopkeeper immediately said to Su Xuan.

After all, the shopkeeper is also a gentry from Yuzhou Mansion, and he is more or less familiar with the government. These two people are well-known in Zhizhou Yamen, how could she not know each other?
Therefore, after hearing Su Xuan's inquiry, she naturally did not dare to hide it, and immediately told Su Xuan about the origins of these two people.

Anyway, she only cares about making money by herself, and nothing else has anything to do with her, and she doesn't intend to help anyone cover up anything, so she will honestly tell who Su Xuan wants to find.

"Are there other people present on the observatory that day?" Su Xuan continued to ask.

"No, what should be said and what should not be said, the old woman has said it all. The old woman would never dare to make up such things!" The shopkeeper looked flustered, but insisted that no one else was present.

"Thank you shopkeeper, it's none of your business, you can go!" Su Xuan heard this, knowing that she already knew what she wanted to know, and it was useless to keep the shopkeeper here, so she immediately sent the shopkeeper to let go.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately turned around and walked downstairs as if fleeing, as if he was afraid that if he walked slower, Su Xuan would change his mind.

"Hey? The shopkeeper, isn't he running too fast?" Seeing the shopkeeper fleeing down, the little mirror immediately said with emotion, and then looked at the stairway where the shopkeeper went down with a full face.

"Catcher Lu, you go to the state government office to investigate that dumb butcher and catcher Lin Youtong, and see where they are. Let's go and pay a visit to them!" Su Xuan said to Lu Feng at this time.

You must know that these two people are working in the government office of the state government, and they are considered to be one of the best figures in the Yuzhou government. If they want to pay a visit, they must first clarify some situations, otherwise it will be counterproductive, and it will be inconvenient for their actions below. , creating more trouble.

"Your Excellency, don't worry, this subordinate will definitely handle this matter well!" Lu Feng responded immediately, and then he brought a policeman and left here, leaving the other three policemen by Su Xuan's side to protect Su Xuan and the others.

"Let's go, let's go around!" Su Xuan immediately said to the small mirror, since they spent money to come to the Star Observation Tower, there is nothing wrong with visiting the Star Observation Tower.

"My lord, please!" The little mirror couldn't wait for it, and immediately gave way to Su Xuan, and said with a smile.
