Poisonous girls are hard to find: the king's arrogant favorite concubine

Chapter 372 Intervening in Cases
The people present had stopped chattering and whispering when the yamen servant's gloomy face appeared, and only lowered their heads, not daring to take a direct look.

"Who reported the case?" The yamen servant came out with his mouth covered and asked, but his eyes were fixed on his hands, with a look of disgust on his face, probably because he went in and saw the scene of the dead.

Don't think about it, Ding Jiuxi is already very unhappy just seeing these actions. There is basically no hope for this kind of affirmation. Looking at the little wrinkles on his face, it is obvious that he is already eating leisurely. Salary and then the brains also follow those who have regressed.

Ding Jiuxi sighed a little in his heart. Basically, there was no need for any hope in this matter. He could only rely on himself and Xuan Che. He only hoped that this person would not just want to close the case early and detain him casually.

But this is a lifeline that is pinched in the hands of others. It is still a bit drumming.

No one in the crowd answered, and the yamen servant suddenly became ill, his face was as black as if he had touched charcoal, "I can't even be heard by anyone, just treat me as dumb, right?"

The shopkeeper finally woke up, and Ding Jiuxi and Xuanche also walked out of the crowd, "Officer, this is none of my business, I reported the case, but I don't know anything !"

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he went up and hugged the yamen servant's leg. When it was over, he cried out like a mournful cry. He couldn't shake the yamen servant's leg, which made the yamen servant's face even darker from anger.

"Get started!" The yamen servant was really angry, he didn't expect the shopkeeper to be so timid, "Who else knows what's going on?"

Xuan Che took a step forward, "I don't know what to call the official, we are the ones who discovered the life, and the shopkeeper is the one who reported the case!"

The yamen servant rested his eyes and glanced at Xuan Che, as if he didn't think much of him, then looked at Ding Jiuxi next to him, "My surname is Lin, and you can just call me Lin Butou, who are you?" together?"

"Hui Lin catches the head, we are together!" Xuan Che replied respectfully.

"Then do you know these people?" Lin Butou asked with a disdainful glance.

"I know each other. They know each other. They ate and drank together last night. Later, these people were all drunk, and they arranged the accommodation!" said the shopkeeper here, as if suddenly sober, pointing Ding Jiuxi and Xuan Che were pointing wildly.

But Catcher Lin didn't seem to like this at all, and kicked him away, "You didn't talk when you were told to talk, and now you don't tell me not to talk. You still talk so much, did I ask you to answer? You Do you know everything, so tell me?"

A roar fell from the top of his head, and the shopkeeper who hit him wanted to bury his head in the soil like an ostrich, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, Lin Butou, I shut up!" After that, he gave himself two crisp slaps, Lin Butou just let him go and didn't care about it.

"Since you know each other, tell me what the situation is like."

"Back to Lin Butou, we knew the deceased, but we were not familiar with them. Yesterday they came to the inn for dinner, and we also settled down here, and then the topic was speculative, so we sat down and ate together, and drank some wine when we were done. Just drunk, we were helped back to the room, everyone who ate here yesterday can testify for us!" Xuan Che described it indirectly and clearly.

Catcher Lin frowned and continued to ask, "Then do you have any hatred?"

"No, no, what kind of enmity can there be when we meet by chance? If you don't believe me, you can ask the shopkeeper. We didn't say that we had a dispute with him yesterday." Xuan Che replied categorically.

"Yes, they have been chatting very well, and they added wine and food in the middle, it seems that the chat is very enjoyable, not like a murderer!" The shopkeeper who got the right to speak can't wait to express his thoughts on his face What I said is true.

"Can't I decide for myself? They are not murderers? Is this what you say? I didn't ask you to decide the case, I asked you to answer the question. Be honest!" A slip of the tongue made Lin arrest again. The head was caught by the head, and then it was another squirt.

"Tell me about your inn, which throws away small things and small fortunes from time to time on weekdays. It's fine. Today, I got a murder case. I've been here safely for decades. Seeing that I'm getting older, you can give me money." I'm causing trouble, I see you, this inn is also run in a crooked way!"

The shopkeeper originally wanted to show off, but in the end he was sluggish again, and he couldn't help but took two steps back. At this moment, he wished that he didn't have such a mouth.

This time, some "friendship" between the two people in the past was pulled out, and his old face was flushed with embarrassment. He knew everything about this inn before, but what he didn't expect was that Catcher Lin was in a bad mood Shi actually used this to block his mouth at this time, he lowered his head and warned himself secretly, don't talk nonsense when he is not allowed to speak, he is dumb, an absolute dumb!

Seeing that the shopkeeper was being honest, Lin Butou turned his head around again. He didn't care what happened to him, and continued to listen to what Ding Jiuxi and the others had to say.

"We don't know who the murderer is. It's just that we got up this morning to invite them to have breakfast together. We knocked on the door for a long time but no one came to open it. When we opened the door, we found that it was not locked at all. This is also the case in the other room, and we didn't dare to touch the other ones, so as not to hinder your way to extract evidence, so we reported to the police and waited!" Ding Jiuxi's statement should be taken as a way to ease this rather embarrassing situation.

"In other words, they have only had contact with you since they came in to eat with you yesterday?" Lin Butou began to ask.

"I don't know about this, at least it looks like this on the surface, but we don't know if they have met anyone or communicated with anyone after they went to sleep in the room." She will not take the blame if she fills in the loopholes!
This kind of thing can't be careless, just a small negligence makes people take advantage of the loopholes, and they don't know that what awaits them behind is a blood hole, leaving you dead without a place to bury you.

Strict prohibition is necessary, if he couldn't do it, Ding Jiuxi had no choice but to remind himself.

"Then you are the biggest suspects now. What evidence do you have that you didn't have any contact with them after going to sleep with them near you?" The question that Catcher Lin asked was a bit fatal.

"Xiao Er, Mr. Lin and Mr. Baiyu next to me were drunk yesterday, and then I called my maid and my sister to help them up together. Xiao Er saw them. They just woke up. I helped him back!" Ding Jiuxi thought about what happened last night, so he didn't care if it was useful or not, because logically speaking, there was a loophole.

"It's like this. Yesterday's incident happened around midnight. Catcher Lin, you ask Mr. Zuo to conduct an autopsy to see if the time of death is around midnight. If it is, then we have no chance to commit the crime, and the murderer has something else. People!" Xuan Che thought of a crucial point, and explained it to Lin Butou in detail.

Catcher Lin made sense after hearing what the two said, and secretly observed the demeanor and reaction of the two men, and did not show any nervousness or anxiety, as if all this had nothing to do with them, Catcher Lin Listening to their analysis, he thought that he hadn't dealt with such a big case for many years, and felt that his mind was a little dull.

Since it can be used, then make good use of it, "Well, someone is here, hasn't Zuo come yet? Finish the autopsy report and let him hand it over to me as soon as possible." Catcher Lin finished ordering his subordinates and then said to him Ding Jiuxi and Xuan Che ordered.

"Since you have the most direct relationship with this murder case, then you should not go anywhere for the time being, stay here, and talk about it when we catch the murderer."

Ding Jiuxi knew it would be such a result, and she refused to let people go, so she continued to fight, "That's okay, Lin Butou, do you think this will work? If there is any need for help in this case, you can tell us, although we don't What kind of skill, but at least I know how to do some martial arts, maybe it will be useful, we want to solve the case early and hurry, and hope the arrester will allow it!"

Ding Jiuxi was sure of this person's weak and incompetent character, that he was bullying and afraid of strength, as could be seen from the difference between how he treated himself and the shopkeeper just now.

Now that he has grasped the weakness, he would be a real fool if he didn't take advantage of it. The initiative cannot be in his own hands. Ding Jiuxi doesn't really hate this feeling, but he still feels uncomfortable to some extent.

Lin Butou looked Ding Jiuxi and Xuan Che up and down almost several times before he finally let go, "Okay, you can, but you can't hinder our business, we will naturally ask people to come to find us when there is a need." Yours, you just stay in the inn and don't move around during this time."

Everyone nodded in agreement, then Catcher Lin arranged for other people to inquire, to see if there were any other clues, the investigation of the scene, the transport of the corpse, and after everything was cleaned up, the sky was already approaching dusk.

The day passed like this, and the courtyard was finally quiet. Ding Jiuxi and the two were not allowed to enter the room where the crime was committed until Lin Butou left. It was already this time when they could enter.

Originally, this room was supposed to be sealed, but it may be due to negligence at work. In the end, all the people in the yamen left, and the door of the room opened just like that. Ding Jiuxi and the others wanted to go in to check, but they were stopped by the shopkeeper, saying It's bad luck, why go in.

Xuan Che had no choice but to tell the title of assisting in solving the case that he had just begged from Catcher Lin, and then he let go and let Ding Jiuxi and the others in!
