The four people were taken to the lobby of Dali Temple, and when they saw that they were all officials, they were immediately apprehensive.
Don't dare to shout!
The gambler meets the official, and he is cowardly.
Guard: "My lord, they have been blocking outside the Brunei Pavilion, saying that they are looking for Zhao Zhiwen to pay back the money."
The four of them shrank, dared not speak, lowered their heads, and even dared not look into the eyes of the officials.
The arrogance outside the Brunei Pavilion just now is gone!
Jing Rong's sharp eyes swept across the four of them, and after examining them, he asked, "What's your relationship... with Zhao Zhiwen?"
"… "
Hesitate!
"Zhao Zhiwen is already dead. At this time, you keep calling him to pay back the money. Is it something out of nothing? Or is it something out of nothing?" The casino was full of 20,000 taels of silver, and it was promised that it would be repaid today, but the person died, this was 20,000 taels of silver, and the debt was repaid. It was only natural that he died, and his family was still alive.
, so this money, he must pay back. "One of the fat men lost his shyness and was confident.
Well, it is only right and proper to pay off debts.
It also makes sense!
On the IOU, it was written in black and white and clearly stated that Zhao Zhiwen owed a certain casino 20,000 taels of silver, and the repayment time was today.
But-
Yu Dali questioned: "How could he owe you so much money?" "What's so strange about a gambler who owes so much money? He owes 100,000 taels to our casino, and every time he finishes the IOU, Just waiting for the third day to pay back, saying that there is a noble person behind him, as long as he speaks, that person will give him money, we also know that he is the chairman of Qiyang Chamber of Commerce, and he is in his hands.
He must have money, so he was given two days of grace each time, but this time, he actually died, 20,000 taels is not a small sum, and he has to pay it back. "
Ji Yunshu heard the key words.
The gentleman behind
Is it the same person behind the "fool" that the women in Chunmanlou said just now
If yes, who is that person? Why do you wipe his ass every time
Ji Yunshu immediately asked, "Then do you know who is the one who paid him back the money?"
The bearded man said, "I don't know, we only accept money."
"Then did he go to your casino last night?"
Several people shook their heads, "I didn't come."
He didn't go to Chunmanlou or the casino, so where did he go from the back door of Brunei Pavilion
She felt a knot in her heart again.
Jing Rong returned the IOU to the men and told them, "Until the case is closed, be honest and don't make any more troubles, or you'll all be put in jail."
"Then our money..."
Jing Rong's eagle eyes picked it up.
A few people trembled and walked away in despair.
Yu Dali said, "Could it be that after Zhao Zhiwen went out, he was killed before he reached the casino or Chunmanlou?"
"Impossible." Ji Yunshu denied, "According to what Liu Zhinan and Luo Mingyang said, they all said that Zhao Zhiwen left the Brunei Pavilion at the time of Xu Shi, but he died at the age of Zi Shi. Fang and Chun are full, but where is he during this time?"
Yu Dali understood, and quickly said, "Then the lower official will immediately send someone to investigate."
So, according to the time period between Xu Shi and Zi Shi, people from Dali Temple and Jingzhao House asked all the way from Brunei Pavilion, and no one saw Zhao Zhiwen in the streets.
There is no shadow.
If not, where did he go
"The murderer didn't know it, how did he kill him?" Jing Zhaoyin and many other officials went crazy.
The troubled people panic.
Ji Yunshu frowned lightly: "The murderer can be easily disguised, of course it's easy to kill."
"Isn't that looking for a needle in a haystack? We haven't gotten to the killer's true appearance yet. What if he leaves the city in disguise? Are we just waiting?"
Yes!
Can only wait!
At present, there are only two days left until the Chamber of Commerce Festival.
Therefore, Jing Rong could only instruct: "On the day of the Chamber of Commerce, the capital will be overcrowded, we have very few clues about the murderer, and we must not smash around like a headless fly. There will be no more murders on the day of the Chamber of Commerce, and the gates must be carefully checked
Check, those who leave the city must be verified before giving way. As long as the murderer is still in the capital, she will be brought to justice. "
"Yes."
The day before the Chamber of Commerce Festival.
The capital has begun to be lively, and the streets and alleys have begun to be decorated with lights and decorations.
The court also blocked the three murders in the shortest possible time, and the insiders also "remind" them one by one, so that more people would not know about it and cause unnecessary panic.
Rong Wangfu.
Ji Yunshu was distressed for a whole day. This was the first time she encountered a murder case but she could only wait. Even the clues to the murderer were vague and completely lost. The murderer was like a shadow, without a trace. I know it exists, but I can't feel it.
I was anxious, worried, and confused.
She sat in the room, propped her forehead, and stared at the three masks taken off the face of the deceased on the table.
Bull ghost.
Horse ghost.
Snake ghost.
Really scarier than one.
Bamboo basket came in with a basin of water, saw her in a trance, and saw the three masks on the table.
She asked, "Miss Ji, what do you think?"
She came back to her senses and said, "It's okay."
The girl settled on the spot, opened her mouth as if she wanted to ask something, and walked to Ji Yunshu with the basin of water with small steps.
Um
"What's up?"
Zhu Lan swallowed and asked in a low voice, "Miss Ji, do you think... the murderer... will he still kill?"
There was obvious fear in his voice.
But Ji Yunshu wasn't sure.
"You go to work first."
"Oh." Bamboo Basket snorted, and was still a little uneasy in his heart. He turned around to put the basin in his hand on the washstand, but he lost his soul and stumbled on the foot of the table next to him.
"Boom"!
He fell to the ground even with a basin.
The wooden basin smashed to the ground, and the water splashed out and spilled on the ground.
At the same time, a cow ghost mask originally placed on the table fell off due to the shaking of the table, and it happened to fall into the wooden basin with half of the water left.
Seeing this, Ji Yunshu quickly lifted the bamboo basket up.
Concerned: "What's the matter? Are you okay?"
The upper body of the bamboo basket is full of water, and it becomes a chicken in soup.
She rubbed her knees, wanting to cry without tears: "Thank you Miss Ji, I... I'm fine."
Ji Yunshu then picked up the cow ghost mask from the water basin.
The mask was already wet, dripping with water.
"It's all my fault, Miss Ji, I... I didn't mean to." Zhu Lan panicked.
"It's fine!"
Ji Yunshu took the mask and tossed it a few times, then wiped off the water on it with a handkerchief. rub rub...
