"I was serving snacks to the guests in the private room on the second floor. When I went up the stairs, the female family member was coming down the stairs. I saw that the female family member looked familiar, so I couldn't help but take a second look. However, it was a busy time at the time, so I didn't Think more.”
"I just roughly remember that the young man seemed to have a fair complexion, a long face, and pink eyes. He was dressed in green clothes. At that time, he was carrying the female guest downstairs."
The waiter at the shop only slowly recalled the scene at that time.
Lu Zhizhang nodded, and then said to the waiter, "Okay, you can go down first."
The waiter nodded and then went down slowly.
As soon as the waiter left, Lu Zhizhang immediately interrogated the other waiters. He only asked them if they had seen a young man in Tsing Yi leave. However, these people's answers basically shook their heads.
Some people said that the store was busy at the time and he did not notice this.
Some people said he didn't look carefully. I have never seen any young man in green.
After receiving such an answer, Lu Zhizhang just let them go down.
For a moment, he couldn't help but have some doubts about the waiter. The waiters he was questioning were obviously the waiters in the store, and the basic skill of being a waiter in the store is to listen and see in all directions. @
After all, they must receive any needs from the guests immediately, and they must also figure out some guests who have not settled their bills.
And according to what the store clerk said before, if this customer really looks like this, he should be a very outstanding person. Such a person left with a female companion who seemed to be uncomfortable. How could the other guys not see it.
Even if one person didn't see it, it's impossible that everyone didn't see it.
Moreover, before he left, he asked the shopkeeper to keep the registration book. He deliberately asked the shopkeeper about this.
Naturally, his purpose was to keep an eye on this teahouse.
Unexpectedly, his careless intentions made the murderer actually take action.
It is a lie that he inquires about the customers, but it is true that he tests the talents in the store.
If the people in the store hadn't burned the registration book at that time, he might not have thought much about it. However, if someone really thought that the registration book was of any use and burned him in such a unnecessary way, wasn't he just falling into a trap and helping himself? Where is the murderer?
Now he has almost identified the murderer and the target.
But before that, he had to wait for news from Xu Yong.
When Xu Yong came up with a group of soldiers from the city patrol department, he only shook his head at Lu Zhizhang in frustration.
"Master Lu, we found nothing, not even ashes. Do you have any clues?" Xu Yong asked in a low voice.
Lu Zhizhang only said loudly, "I don't have any clues here. It seems that this murderer is a bit tricky."
Then he said loudly, "It's getting late. I have a few words to ask the shopkeeper and then leave. Then he said again, you ask the shopkeeper to come up and all the shop assistants to leave."
Xu Yong obviously couldn't understand what Lu Zhizhang meant. He just said in confusion, "But your wife hasn't been found yet."
Lu Zhizhang only made a sad look and said, "It seems that my wife is probably in trouble. She has already troubled Brother Xu a lot tonight. I really don't want to trouble Brother Xu anymore. Let's go back first."
When Lu Zhizhang said this, he only gave Xu Yong a wink.
Although Xu Yong didn't know what Lu Zhizhang had in mind, he understood that this was what Lu Zhizhang meant for him to cooperate.
So Xu Yong nodded lightly.
After Xu Yong went downstairs, he said directly to the shopkeeper in the store, "Shopkeeper, Mr. Lu would like to ask you to cooperate with him and go up and ask questions."
The shopkeeper looked at the dim street lights outside, and said with a sad face on the street where there were almost no pedestrians, "Still asking? Sirs, it's getting late, and we have to do business tomorrow."
Xu Yong looked at the others and seemed a little embarrassed. Then he slowly said, "What you said makes sense. Let the waiters go back to rest. You can stay and ask questions. Is that okay?"
After saying that, Xu Yong patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, our Mr. Lu won't delay you for too long."
After hearing what Xu Yong said, the shopkeeper
She was still a little reluctant, but she still had to agree to his request. After all, this man didn't seem to be easy to mess with.
Now he has come up with a plan. If he continues to be ignorant, he is afraid that he will really be beaten by this man.
When he thought of this, the shopkeeper had no choice but to follow the soldiers up.
As for the guys waiting in the corridor, when they heard that this man said they could go back, they were immediately overjoyed, thinking only that they had finally dealt with these living ancestors. Except for one of them.
"Did you hear what I just said? Okay, you all go back to your homes now."
After hearing this, the others said hello and left immediately.
However, some of the guys just found a bed in the corner of the inn because their families were not nearby, and started to pack it up.
When the shopkeeper saw Lu Zhizhang. Lu Zhizhang is observing and detecting this elegant room.
Then he didn't even let go of the ground.
After the knocking sound, he felt that there seemed to be a hollow under the wooden floor.
He looked at the store owner and asked, "Is there a mezzanine on this floor?"
The store owner said softly, "I don't know that either."
Lu Zhizhang did not speak, but just pulled out a weapon from a soldier. Then he used a knife to pry open a floor tile, only to see that there was indeed a mezzanine in the floor tile. The thickness of the mezzanine was barely enough for a person to lie in it. It's just that the mezzanine is dark and nothing can be seen.
Seeing that the shopkeeper was still waiting blankly, Lu Zhizhang put away the knife and said softly, "Master Caihu is in your shop. I wonder if the shopkeeper is willing to cooperate?"
"This...how is this possible?" the shopkeeper asked in surprise.
But then he immediately nodded and said, "That's natural."
For some reason, although this Lu Fuyin seemed to be a handsome and gentle young man, and he was kind, his fear of Lu Fuyin was far greater than that of the leader of the army.
Lu Zhizhang nodded and said, "That's fine. Let us hide in your restaurant. I'm afraid this murderer will have follow-up actions. It may be a bit dangerous next time. You can just go back. If anything in the store is damaged in the future, You can just calculate the accounts and then go to the Yin Department of Beijing to ask for reimbursement."
After listening to Lu Zhizhang's words, the shopkeeper had no choice but to agree even if he didn't want to agree.
What can be done about this? Who wants people to say that there is a colorful fox in his store? What else can he do if he doesn't cooperate?
After the shopkeeper left, Lu Zhizhang only winked at the attendant beside him, and the attendant nodded understandingly.
Then the shopkeeper left with his front legs, and they followed with his rear legs.
When he arrived downstairs at the teahouse, Lu Zhizhang only said to Xu Yong, "Thank you for your hard work tonight."
Then he said, "Let your brothers leave too."
Xu Yong only responded to Lu Zhizhang's words, then waved and said, "Brothers, follow me!"
Hearing Xu Yong's words, the soldiers just cheered. Not to mention the people in the store, even they themselves wanted to leave. Staying here is more important than patrolling the streets on weekdays.
Being able to be here now is something that others can only dream of.
Just wait for them to walk out not far. The candles in the store were also extinguished.
And Lu Zhizhang's bodyguard has disappeared.
Lu Zhizhang said to Xu Yong with some apology, "I may have to trouble your brothers for a while tonight."
Upon hearing this, everyone except Xu Yong was stunned. Is it still troublesome? They patrolled the streets most of the night. I don’t want to work any more overtime.
"I already know who the murderer is, but I don't have enough evidence to prove the murderer, so I still need to confirm the murderer's whereabouts, so I would like to ask you to arrange for a few people who are good at light work to wait outside the window of the private room, and the rest People are guarding the door. If we can catch Mr. Caihu, it will be a great achievement."
"Of course, if your brothers are not willing, it is the same if you let the brothers on shift participate in this round-up operation."
When they heard that Master Caihu could be caught, the guards' eyes lit up. Regarding the arrest documents for Master Caihu, the government issued a notice and set the amount at one hundred taels. If anyone has seen it, there will be a hundred taels of clues.
If they crack this secret internally,
Needless to say, if you take a case, the participants will receive rewards. If you are lucky, you might even be promoted.
Moreover, Xu Yong is loyal to his subordinates, and he is not the kind of person who takes credit. Every time a reward is given to him by his superiors, he will say that it is the credit of his brothers, and then distribute the reward to others.
If he has meat to eat, the other brothers will all get a piece of it. Such a boss naturally has many followers and people who want to express themselves.
So after hearing what Lu Zhizhang said, one of them just said, "I know Qinggong and I will get there!"
Others also raised their hands.
Unexpectedly, there were more than ten competitors, so Lu Zhizhang asked Xu Yong to order two or three relatively reliable soldiers who knew Kung Fu to jump up to the window and guard outside the door.
He and Xu Yong led other soldiers to guard the door of the inn.
It's night and the sky is dim.
The few guys who stayed in the back room turned out the lights, chatted for a while, and then fell asleep one after another.
However, there was another person among them who got up and quietly went to the second floor after everyone else went to bed.
He has not forgotten what the adult said, he will come again tomorrow.
In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, he naturally had to handle everything more cleanly.
It’s just that there were so many people during business hours that he couldn’t handle it at all at that time.
He climbed up to the second floor quietly, and then began to enter the private room just now.
When he arrived at the private room, the room was dark. He only took out a flint from his arms, lit the candlestick on the table, and then started to pry up the floor with a chisel. After roughly prying open more than a dozen floors, the woman's clothes could already be seen between the floors.
Just when he was about to pry open the rest.
The window creaked open a crack.
He immediately looked toward the window warily.
