Chongxi Concubine of Time Travel

Chapter 177: Clues to the Inn Murder Case (2)
"You are still in the inn, and we are also guests of this inn. Seeing if you went downstairs or not, we will also come down to have a look. What did you see when you came down first?" Xuanyuan Xuanxiao asked him.

"I didn't see anything. When I was about to go down the stairs, the oil lamp in my hand suddenly went out. I seemed to step on the ground, so I fell down and fell down. Then I didn't know anything." The man thought want to say,
"You go back to the guest room first, we have already reported to the officials here, and we don't know where the shopkeeper is." Xuanyuan Xuanxiao was talking to the man, looking outside, when they came down, the door was open, but that The door didn't show any signs of damage, so it should have been opened by the waiter, which also explained why the waiter died in front of the counter instead of behind.The waiter is on duty at night, and he should be behind the counter. If someone breaks in, he should walk out of the counter before he comes.Now that he died outside the counter, and the store door was open, it further showed that the matter was man-made, and he didn't think that monster would call the door.

"Oh, okay, I'll go up first." The man said cautiously, he didn't know what Xuanyuan Xuanxiao and the others did, but it looked like he shouldn't be the same as him, he was just a barter peddler, come down Checking also made him feel brave.

"Qi Hao, look here, An Er, bring someone to find Wu Zhifu." Xuanyuan said to An Er after watching the man leave.

"Yes, Lord." After An Er finished speaking, he took the two guards and left, just in case they were in any danger.

Xuanyuan Xuanxiao looked at An Er who left, and he went upstairs with Yun Yin first.

"How are you doing? Did you find anything?" Shangguan Xueyan asked as she looked at the person who opened the door and entered.

"The waiter was smothered to death, the tooth marks on his face were added after death, and he was already dead before we heard the sound." Xuanyuan Xuanxiao sat down and talked about their discovery.

"Smothered to death, that is man-made, whether there is any internal injury, whether there are signs of struggle downstairs, the waiter in the shop can't just wait to die." Shangguan Xueyan asked again, she didn't go downstairs, so she didn't know the specific condition of the corpse .

"There is no internal injury, and there are no traces of struggle downstairs. If the waiter hadn't died obediently, then the other party had caught him by surprise." Xuanyuan Xuanxiao answered Shangguan Xueyan's question.

"We can conclude that the death of the waiter in this store was man-made. What about other people, let's look at the other corpses tomorrow, otherwise it will be difficult to make a judgment." After hearing this, Shangguan Xueyan said to Xuanyuan Xuanxiao that she wanted to personally Examine the bodies for clues.

"You don't need to go to this Yan'er, Yun Yin and I can just go and have a look." Xuanyuan Xuanxiao objected, saying that he was afraid that those corpses would frighten Shangguan Xueyan.

"I'm a doctor, and I'm more experienced in seeing corpses. Besides, you think you can stop me? Don't worry, I'll take it." Shangguan Xueyan looked at him and said, she had never seen any corpse before.She has seen even corpses that have been blown to pieces.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Xuanyuan Xuanxiao knew that no one could change Shangguan Xueyan's determined attention. Although they hadn't been together for a long time, he still knew a little about Shangguan Xueyan's temper.Since he couldn't stop it, he could only go with her.

Shangguan Xueyan and the others were discussing what to do about this matter. If it was man-made, then what happened to the fast shadow they saw at night?Who made this matter for what purpose, not only had a great influence in Jian'an Mansion, but even the emperor knew about it.Could it be that the man is so confident that he thinks he can do whatever he wants with the monster as a guise.

"Master, Prefect Wu is here." An Er's voice came from outside.

"Come in!" Xuanyuan Xuanxiao said lightly.

"I'm going to attend the Holy Prince, and see the Holy Princess." The prefect of Wu knelt down and saluted first when he entered the door.

"It's you who reported that there are monsters in Jian'an Mansion. Are you guilty? As the magistrate, you don't want to benefit and appease the people, but you are just like them. You don't want Wusha anymore, do you?" Xuanyuan Xuanxiao asked sullenly. he.

"Holy prince, I'm convicted, but I didn't talk nonsense, that's what I saw with my own eyes." Wu Zhifu knelt and kowtowed fiercely.

"Since you saw it with your own eyes, why don't you tell me what he looks like?" Xuanyuan Xuanxiao asked again in a less blunt tone than before.

"That thing has long hairs all over its body, long nails, and red eyes. It's very scary to look at. It runs very fast." The Wu Zhifu said that they were chasing the thing that night when they heard the sound.

"How tall is it, is it standing or lying down?" Shangguan Xueyan asked.

"At first it was on all fours, and when it fought with us, it stood upright, and its height was about the same as that of an adult man." Wu Zhifu knelt in the direction of Shangguan Xueyan and said.He knew that this holy concubine's reputation in Shangjing was no less than that of the holy prince, so he didn't dare to neglect, so he said respectfully.

"Then return the corpses of the previous victims?" Shangguan Xueyan asked again.

"Come back, Princess Sheng, they are all placed in Yizhuang."

"Understood, you find someone to lead the way tomorrow, let's go and have a look."

"Yes, princess."

"Take someone to ask the people in the inn to see what they do." Xuanyuan Xuanxiao said suddenly, how could he forget that the people inside also have the opportunity to commit crimes.

"Your officer knows, why don't you ask?"

"Do you suspect that the murderer will be someone who lives in the hotel, just like last time?" Yun Yin asked.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Xuanyuan Xuanxiao knocked on the table and said, anything could happen now.

"Have you ever sent someone to find the shopkeeper, why didn't you see him when something happened in the store?" Shangguan Xueyan asked, didn't you say that the shopkeeper lived in the alley behind the inn.

"No, maybe he doesn't know yet!" Xuanyuan Xuanxiao shook his head and said, he didn't have the time to inform him, besides, he would definitely come tomorrow morning.

"Okay, let's all go back to sleep." Shangguan Xueyan drove them away, and it was almost dawn after all this tossing.

"Then Yan'er, you should have a good rest."

"Sister, I'm going back."

They got up to leave, and Shangguan Xueyan lay on the bed for a long time before falling asleep.

In a house unknown to Shangguan Xueyan, a middle-aged man stood outside a dark room, looking at the closed doors and windows and sighing: "You went out again, do you know that this is very dangerous?" , A lot of people are looking for you, if someone finds out, what should I do then, can you restrain yourself, or don't go out. "
