Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 475 Strange juggler.

Leaving Dong's mansion, on the way back to the state office, Bao Zheng analyzed: "If the murder scene is really a secret room, the only one who can kill and then escape is Wu Gu, but there are only five people in their juggling class, and the top one is missing. Pot, they should earn a lot less money, that Wu Gu really has no motive to kill people!"

After Bao Zheng finished speaking, everyone quickly followed suit, but at this time, Yin Wucuo suddenly said: "Could it be that they suddenly obtained a large amount of property and planned to share it equally, but everyone wanted to share more, so they put That top performer was killed?"

Everyone didn't understand why Yin Wucuo thought this way, Gongsun Ce pondered for a moment, and said: "If they really got a lot of money suddenly, then why would they perform a birthday show for Dong Cheng's mother? They should leave earlier Duanzhou City is right, even if it is killing people, wouldn't it be more convenient to go to a place where there are no people?"

What Gongsun Ce said was right, Yin Wucuo had no choice but to shrug his shoulders helplessly.

But at this time, Hwarang smiled: "Maybe they haven't got their money yet, so they can't leave Duanzhou City in a hurry."

Bao Zheng frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "How is this possible? It's a bit unreasonable to kill people who might share property with you before you get the money. If you don't get the money in the end, wouldn't they lose money?" ? And now that there is a murder case, all the people here are under our surveillance, if we can't find out the truth, it may be difficult for them to leave here."

What Bao Zheng said was also unreasonable, so at this time everyone fell into confusion, and after that, they were speechless all the way.

After returning to the state office, Hwarang suggested that Long Budi be recruited for questioning, because he was the one who found the juggling troupe, so he should have a certain understanding of this juggling troupe.

A yamen servant left the state yamen in a hurry. After about a stick of incense, Long Budi hurried over. He saluted and sat down beside him. Afterwards, Bao Zheng asked directly, "Where is Dong Yuan's family?" Boss Long must have heard about the murder case, right?"

Long Budi nodded repeatedly: "I heard that an artist in that juggling class died, which is really unexpected."

Bao Zheng hummed, and then asked: "Where did the boss of the juggling class Long invite?"

Long Budi didn't hide anything, and said directly: "It's like this. A few days ago, I went out of the city to congratulate my friends on the New Year. On the way back, I rested in a teahouse, and then I met this juggling troupe. They said they would perform many kinds of acrobatics. I asked one of them to perform a performance. I thought it was very interesting, and I thought of the performances at the Qingli Temple on the Lantern Festival. Fortunately, I invited them, but they said that they had to wait until the fourteenth day of the first lunar month before going to Duanzhou City. In the past few days, they have some performances in other places, and I didn't say anything when I saw this, as long as I don't delay the performances on the Lantern Festival."

"Did you give them a deposit back then?"

"That's not true. After all, they are performers in the rivers and lakes. They don't have a fixed place to live. I gave them a deposit and what will they do if they don't come. So I made an agreement with them. If they arrive in Duanzhou City on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, they will go to Qingli by themselves. Hospital, as long as they come, I will give them a deposit first, and then give them the rest of the money after the performance on the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. paid them a deposit."

What Long Budi said was reasonable, after Bao Zheng nodded slightly, he looked at Hua Lang and asked, "Brother Hua, do you have anything else to ask?"

Hwarang nodded slightly, and then asked Long Budi, "Did you meet them at the teahouse on the way?"

"Yes."

"You asked them on your own initiative?"

"That's not true. After all, when I saw them at first glance, I couldn't tell they had any skills. They asked me first. Maybe it was because the clothes I wore were expensive. I should be a rich man."

There is nothing wrong with this point, after all, people who walk the rivers and lakes are very sharp-eyed, and if they want to make money, they naturally have to do their best to strike up a conversation, and they can't let others find them.

Hua Lang had nothing to ask, and Long Budi was about to leave, but at this moment, Hua Wan'er suddenly asked, "Is Miss Bailan's foot better?"

Hearing Hua Waner ask this question, Long Budi was a little surprised, but he quickly replied: "It's better, thank you Miss Hua for your concern."

Gongsun Ce hesitated to speak, but at this time, Long Budi had already left.

After Long Budi left, Hua Lang immediately said: "We should send someone to investigate, before the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, where did the members of this juggling troupe go and perform there."

Bao Zheng agreed, and then gave orders.

So at dusk, those yamen servants rushed back. They said that they had searched all the places around Duanzhou City, and said that they had not seen any performances by them. It seemed that they had never come to Duanzhou City to perform before.

After hearing this, Bao Zheng immediately said angrily: "Those jugglers tricked Long Budi, they never went to other places to perform at all."

At this time, Hwarang was quite calm. He looked at the yamen servant and asked, "They didn't perform, so has anyone seen them, or can you find out where they were those few days?"

The yamen servant nodded and said: "I found out that they all lived in a ruined temple outside Duanzhou City. They lived there for four or five days. They didn't leave until the fourteenth day of the first lunar month and went directly to Duanzhou City."

After hearing this, Bao Zheng and Hua Lang felt very strange. Since they had no place to perform, why did they lie to Long Budi that they had a performance? If they followed Long Budi to Duanzhou City, it would be a few days They are not paid, but board and lodging are always included, which is much better than living in a ruined temple, but why would they rather live in a ruined temple than come back with Long Budi?

Hwarang and the others couldn't figure this out, but they didn't worry about it, after all, the jugglers were still there, so if they asked them the reason tomorrow, they would understand.

After thinking this way, everyone was relieved a lot, but they felt that it was still very weird. If these people really got a lot of money suddenly, would it be during those few days that they refused to follow Long Budi? Enter Duanzhou City early, for that sum of money?But it still doesn't make sense to think so. If they have a lot of money, why should they come to Duanzhou City to perform for the Qingli Courtyard of Longbudi?

Could it be that they were just preparing to make trouble in Duanzhou City in those few days?

Thinking of this, Bao Zheng shook his head, they are all being watched now!
