A little weak chicken came to Dali Temple

Chapter 172 172 Prostitute Case (5)

Pei Jingning turned to look at him again.

"Really, I'm sure Xiaozhi..."

"Zhao... Qi... An..." Pei Jingning said every word, clearly calm and calm.

Zhao Qianqin could hear the gnashing of teeth, "Okay, I know, Master Ye, this is all right, Master Ye!"

On the second day of duty, Ye's small group met to discuss how to investigate the case.

Zhang Jinxian said: "I'm going to investigate two northern businessmen."

Teng Chong continued: "I'm going to check on the new Minister of Household Affairs, Mr. Liu Yanduan Liu."

The work of finding people or visiting and investigating the case was completed by Teng and Zhang. Yeats nodded and said he had no objection, "Be sure to ask them the exact time they left Tianxiang Tower."

"clear."

Zhang and Teng were the first to attend.

Qin Dachuan looked at Yeats, meaning, what about me?
Yeats said, "I'll tell you what you need to do after I examine Mama Bao."

Zhao Bai asked, "What about me?"

Yeats smiled slightly: "Then please help Mr. Zhao to go to the household registration office to check the place and life of Mr. Liu and Yang Die'er."

"Okay." Zhao Bai happily went to adjust the file.

Qin Dachuan and Yang Fuquan went to the cell with Yeats.

From being imprisoned in heaven on earth to the dark and cold Dali Temple, from holding people with a smiling face to being imprisoned, Mr. Bao, who was sitting on the haystack in the cell, seemed to be in a calmer mood than yesterday. When he saw Yeats, he was not surprised at all.

As expected, he is a man who has experienced the ups and downs of the world. Yeats smiled slightly, stood in front of the fence, stood with his hands behind his hands, and looked without saying a word.

The two looked at each other.

In the end, it was Mr. Bao who sneered first, "Master Ye, just ask if you have anything."

"Last night, when Dali Temple arrested Yang Dieer's girl and mother-in-law, they found that the girl who served them the most was missing. Does Mother Bao know?"

"I said I didn't know, Master Ye, do you believe it?"

Yeats smiled and continued to ask: "The woman who was responsible for boiling bath water for Yang Die'er said that after the second guest, the two northern businessmen, left, Yang Die'er did not ask for water. The two people only listened to Yang Die'er. Die'er plays the piano and sings a tune?"

"Yes."

"When did they leave the room?"

"This..." Mrs. Bao thought for a moment, "It's probably midnight."

"Has anyone ever gone in after the merchant from the north left?"

Mrs. Bao picked at her beautiful red nails: "After the two guests left, Die'er said she was very tired and didn't want to take any more guests. I saw her face looked tired, so I didn't force her anymore and let her rest."

"When is Tianxiang Tower usually open? Is there any customers coming in at midnight?"

"Except for overnight guests, the store is open until the first watch, and generally there won't be many guests coming at this time."

Yeats asked: "If a guest leaves temporarily, do they still need to pay money when they come in again?"

"As long as he says that he has something to do temporarily and will come in after finishing the work, the building will usually not collect cash again. But if he doesn't say that and he is not a regular customer, he will collect cash again."

Yeats asked again, "It is said that officials of the fourth rank and above have separate side doors for entry and exit, right?"

Mrs. Bao gave Yeats a look that everyone understood, "Fourth-grade officials can directly meet the Holy Emperor. Of course their identities are different. How can they be seen wandering around the building?"

Yeats nodded, as if he agreed, "In other words, because Mr. Liu is a fourth-grade official, his comings and goings are registered, right?"

"Yes." "What if Mr. Liu comes in again and gives the gatekeepers a benefit so that they don't register? Is this possible?"

"Do you suspect Master Liu to go back and kill Die'er?" Mrs. Bao felt puzzled, "Why, it's impossible..." She paused and thought for a while, then shook her head, "Although Die'er is good, Master Liu is not He's like a man who can turn his anger into beauty."

"Could it be that Yang Die'er violated the taboo of guest Mr. Liu?"

Tianxiang Tower, to put it bluntly, is a place where women sell their bodies and men buy sex. However, this place has always been dirty and complicated. Some prostitutes are not satisfied with exchanging their bodies for money. They may take advantage of the information they get from the customers they come into contact with. With poor buying and selling information, they can earn a lot of money. money.

Mrs. Bao thought for a while, "Master Liu was recently promoted to the rank of fourth-grade servant. He usually comes to Tianxiang Tower to spend money, but last night he ordered Yang Die'er for the second time."

"When was the first time?"

"Probably the fourteenth day of the first lunar month!"

The first month of the year is the time when the upper class in Beijing are socializing like crazy. Colleagues, friends, relatives, subordinates... there are endless banquets and brothels. Mr. Liu is worthy of promotion, so he is inevitably proud.

"Have some Yang Die'er again after half a month. Master Liu is very satisfied with her?"

Mrs. Bao curled her lips, "If you are satisfied, do you have to wait for half a month?" Mrs. Bao felt unhappy because she had not earned Liu Shilang's money.

"Then since the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, was last night the second time I entered your Tianxiang Tower?"

"Seems to be."

In other words, Mr. Liu Yanduan, the new Minister of Household Affairs, did not come to Tianxiang Tower for half a month. After he came, he ordered Yang Dieer again. So during this half month, did he not go to Tianxiang Tower again, or went to other places? Brothel?
Yeats's interrogation in the private room came to an end for the time being, "If you miss anything and remember it, ask someone to tell me. If there are any major discoveries or evidence and meritorious service, you may be released in advance."

"Really?" Bao's eyes lit up when he heard that he was released.

"That's natural. The premise is that there must be major discoveries or evidence. Do you understand?"

"Okay, okay, as long as I think of it, I will be the first to tell you."

After leaving the cell, Yeats said to Qin Dachuan, "Your task now is to find out whether Lord Liu has been to other brothels since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and whether he secretly returned to Tianxiang Tower at the end of the night last night. Witnesses need to be found.”

"Okay." Mr. Qin took the mission and left.

After finishing the meal, Yeats went to see Yan Zuozuo again and communicated with him again the time of death of the deceased, as well as the depth, strength and angle of the knife that penetrated the heart.

"I'm trying it with pork."

"Master Yan, we must ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"it is good."

Coming out of Mr. Yan's official room, the sun was setting and it was time for the next watch before I knew it.

Yang Fuquan jumped up and down, "Are you going to take the next step?"

"You should go back first. I have something to do with Mr. Shaoqing."

"Oh." Xiao Quanzi was a little disappointed, but he immediately became happy again, "Then I'll go back first."

"Be careful on the road."

"I know." Yang Fuquan didn't even enter the official room and went on duty.

Pei Jingning guessed that Yeats would come to see him without warning, and sure enough.

"Wow, there is a charcoal brazier in the room, it's so warm."

At the end of the first year of the lunar month, spring was freezing and very cold. Yeats quickly gathered around the charcoal brazier to warm his hands. It was so warm.

Pei Jingning pulled the chair to the edge of the charcoal brazier, reached out and took the person into his arms, "Are you avoiding me lately?"

"No!" Yeats stretched out his hand to push him, "Official room, can you be so casual?"
