Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 037 I met a thief.

Originally, Yin Wucuo didn't like to deal with court officials very much. He felt that few court officials were good people, but through what he saw today, he began to change slowly. At least he felt that Bao Zheng was a man who was willing to serve the people. My good sir.

Furthermore, Yin Wucuo felt that solving the case was a very interesting thing. Solving the case with Hwarang was much more interesting than wandering around the rivers and lakes by himself, but now to solve the case, he just watched from the sidelines and couldn't help much.

This made Yin Wucuo very unfulfilling.

After leaving Juxiang Tower, the group of them returned to the county government office.

After returning to the county yamen, a yamen servant hurried over, looking very flustered. Seeing this, Bao Zheng quickly asked, "But what did you find out?"

The yamen servant hesitated for a long time, and said: "The investigation found out, but something happened in Dong Cheng's rice store."

Although the yamen servant said so, Bao Zheng and Hua Lang were not in a hurry. Something happened to the rice grain store, which showed that the murderer finally couldn't help but make a move, and when the murderer made a move, they had some more clues.

"tell me the story!"

"On the day Dong Cheng was killed, Feng Ji did work in the rice store all day long, and didn't leave until the store closed."

"In this case, this Feng Ji is not a murderer, so please tell me what happened in the rice grain store."

The yamen servant got the order, and quickly replied: "When we went to investigate Feng Ji, the clerk at Dong Cheng's rice store said that a theft happened there, and one of Dong Cheng's account books disappeared."

"The ledger is missing?" Everyone was startled, they were very puzzled, who would steal an ledger, what would be the use of stealing the ledger, is the person who stole the ledger a murderer?

At this time, Hwarang quickly asked: "Don't all the account books have a copy, can you ask the accountant for it?"

The yamen servant quickly took out an account book from his body, and said: "Young Master Hua is right, there is indeed one, I saw that the account book was stolen, and found it strange, so I asked the accountant for a copy, maybe it will be useful for you to solve the case. "

After receiving the account book, Hwarang looked back and forth many times, but he didn't see any doubts. The records on it were just the daily output and income. Is there anything worth stealing?

Everyone circulated it and looked at it, but found no clues. For a while, everyone didn't know what to do.

After such a long time, Hwarang suddenly said: "I think it is necessary to go to Dong Cheng's rice store."

Seeing this, Bao Zheng said: "Then I will leave this matter to Brother Hua. I will sit here and clear the case for the people of Tianchang County."

Hua Lang nodded, and then Wen Meng, Yin Wucuo, Hua Wan'er and the others came to Dong Cheng's rice store.

Because Dong Cheng was killed and Mrs. Dong was imprisoned by Bao Zheng, the rice store was closed at this time, and only a servant and the accountant stayed in the store. Hwarang and the others came into the rice store to explain their intentions. , the servant immediately invited them in.

Hwarang didn't want to waste time, so he directly asked, "Where is Dong Cheng's account book kept?"

The young man didn't dare to hide anything, and said directly: "It used to be in the drawer. Boss Dong didn't let us see it. He just asked the accountant to copy the copy. After copying, he put it in the drawer and locked it. Today in the store I was really bored here, so I looked around, only to find that the lock on Boss Dong’s drawer had been pried open, I was curious, and only after I opened it did I find that the account book was gone.”

After listening to the boy's narration, Hwarang and the others felt that the matter was even more weird.

"After Dong Cheng was killed, has anyone entered your shop in the past two days?"

The boy thought for a while, and said: "No one entered our shop except the county government officials. Since the discovery of my master's body, the shop has closed down immediately."

After hearing this, Hua Lang smiled lightly, and then asked, "Then from the day your master left Tianchang County to buy goods to when his body was discovered, has anyone entered your shop?"

Hwarang felt that if the account books were not stolen by someone in the past few days, it must have been a few days ago. Dong Cheng's body has not been found a few days ago, and the shop should be open as usual.

Hwarang's question stumped the servant, he thought for a long time before he said, "These few days our place was no different from usual, there were a lot of guests coming and going, I can't remember clearly."

The boy's words were not unreasonable, but Hua Lang felt that since the man came to steal the account book, he would definitely leave some clues. He looked at the boy and asked, "There are so many guests, but someone is here to buy food?"

The boy thought for a while, and said: "Why don't you come here to buy food..." The boy stopped suddenly, frowned, and then suddenly said excitedly: "Don't tell me, There is really one person who didn’t come to our place to buy grain, that person is Boss Dong’s friend named Zhu Yougui, he didn’t come to buy grain, but went to drink with Boss Dong.”

"Then how long has Zhu Yougui been in your rice store?"

The boy shrugged and said, "I don't know about that. When Zhu Yougui came, I was just about to leave to deliver goods to Boss Liang, so I didn't know that the accountant was looking after the shop at that time."

"The accountant takes care of the shop?" Hwarang was surprised, because the accountant is in charge of the accounts, how can he take care of the shop, it really doesn't make sense.

The boy seemed to understand Hwarang's confusion, and quickly explained: "Yes, there was not much business at that time, so I asked the accountant to look at it for a while, besides, I will finish delivering it soon, the accountant will see Not long."

After listening to the boy's words, Hwarang called the accountant again. The accountant was a thin old man in his 50s. After seeing Hwarang, he nodded and said, "That's right, I was helping to look after I went to the shop, and Zhu Yougui stayed in the shop for half a stick of incense, and during this half stick of incense, I once went to the hut because of my stomach."

After questioning the servant and the accountant, Hwarang and the others can basically guess that the account book was undoubtedly stolen by Zhu Yougui, but what did Zhu Yougui steal Dong Cheng's account book for, and whether Dong Cheng was killed by Zhu Yougui? Woolen cloth?

Now that there are clues, it is not difficult to find out the matter. Hwarang was going to ask Zhu Yougui to understand, but when Hwarang and the others were about to leave, the accountant suddenly stopped them hesitantly.

Seeing this, Hwarang asked, "Does Mr. Accountant have any clues to tell us?"

The accountant hesitated again and again, but finally nodded and said: "There is one thing, I don't know if it will be useful. It makes people feel inappropriate to say it, but it makes me feel uneasy if I don't say it."
