It was obvious that these people were killed in their sleep.
So if we really want to trace it back, these people must have been killed last night.
The murderer has probably escaped by now.
When he thought of this, Ziyi Captou felt dizzy and embarrassed.
What's even worse is that he doesn't even know the identities of these people.
He silently shouted to the outside, "Where is the owner of this tavern?"
Hearing Ziyi's call to catch the head, and seeing the lesson that the scholar was almost taken as a suspect just now, the tavern owner did not stand up. On the contrary, he just tried to take advantage of the crowd and fish in troubled waters and quickly leave the place of trouble.
However, the onlookers had already known his identity, and some people suspected that the tragedy was caused by the tavern owner, so how could they let the tavern owner leave so easily at that moment.
So after Ziyi's words about arresting the head fell, someone immediately pointed at the tavern owner who was trying to retreat and said, "Sir, he is the owner of this tavern."
After being identified, the tavern owner had to stop. In his heart, he could only secretly thank the eight generations of ancestors of the people who identified him.
Then he turned around and smiled without embarrassment, "Sir, I just came here too."
Facing the ingratiating smile of the tavern owner, Ziyi Captou didn't even have a smile on his face.
He just said to the tavern owner expressionlessly, "Are you the owner of this tavern?"
The tavern owner had an awkward smile on his face, "Yes, sir."
"Then do you know these people?"
The tavern owner was about to shake his head.
The Ziyi catcher immediately warned, "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"
After being warned like this, the tavern owner was not someone who could stand being intimidated, so he immediately put away his intention to distance himself from the relationship.
He whispered, "I know you!"
"Then who are they?" Ziyi Captou asked sharply immediately.
The tavern owner who was questioned could only confess in a low voice, "They are my guests. They had lunch at my tavern yesterday. During the meal, their coachman drank too much and fell into the manure pit behind our restaurant because the coachman was unconscious. Wake up, they can't move forward. For safety reasons, I took them in and let them stay in my tavern for one night."
Hearing this, Ziyi Catcher asked again, "Are these people theirs?"
The tavern owner could only say, "You have to take me in and take a look before I know if they are all their people."
Upon hearing this, the Ziyi policeman immediately signaled a policeman to take the tavern owner inside to examine the corpses. When the tavern owner felt sick, he only examined the corpses with the help of the policeman.
Soon, the tavern owner also came to the conclusion. He pointed at an old man and a young man and said, "I don't know these two people."
Ziyi Cat nodded, then he pointed at the remaining middle-aged man and said, "Do you know this man?"
The tavern owner nodded naturally, "Of course I know him. This is the coachman who fell into the manure pit."
After hearing what the tavern owner said, a policeman immediately said to the Ziyi policeman, "Sir, these two people were hacked to death on the same kang as the coachman!"
Upon hearing this, Ziyi Captou said, "If that's the case, those two deceased people probably knew them."
After saying this, the Ziyi catcher asked again, "By the way, what is the financial situation of the deceased?" Literature
"Sir, we have checked. Their room is in a mess. It has obviously been rummaged through, and there is not a penny in it."
Upon hearing this, Ziyi Catcher looked at the tavern owner and said, "Are these the only ones they have?"
The boss thought about it carefully after hearing this, then he immediately shook his head and said, "I remembered, there seem to be two missing among them."
Upon hearing this, Ziyi Captou immediately asked, "Which two people are missing?"
being chased
The tavern owner who asked the question said, "I remember that among them there was a very fat and tall girl, and a girl named Zijuan. That girl seemed to be the backbone of their group. They almost always asked that girl when doing anything. The girl named Zijuan."
Upon hearing this, Ziyi Catcher immediately said, "Could it be that these two people had a dispute with their companions, and then the two of them managed to kill these people under the cover of night?"
When the tavern owner heard Ziyi's speculation about arresting the head, he couldn't help complaining, "Why did she need to kill other people? This is not a deep grudge."
Upon hearing this, Ziyi Captou immediately turned to glare at the tavern owner and said, "What did you just say?"
As soon as the tavern owner was glared at by the other party, he immediately became full of desire for survival. He immediately smiled and said, "My lord. What I'm saying is that besides this, the villain has another clue to provide!"
Upon hearing this, the detective in prison did not argue with the tavern owner about what he had just said. He immediately said to the tavern owner, "Since you said you wanted to provide clues, then you should quickly hand over the clues."
The tavern owner nodded cooperatively upon hearing this, "My lords, please follow me."
Seeing the owner of the tavern leading the way, the policeman in armor naturally signaled for others to follow him quickly.
Then the tavern owner only stopped in front of a carriage not far from the yard.
Because there were many carriages parked here, Ziyi Captou didn't notice the carriage in the yard.
But now he finally found this carriage with the horses unloaded, and there was only another carriage with the horses unloaded parked next to him. Unfortunately, the horses in the stable were missing.
The tavern owner just looked at it, and then stepped forward and said to Ziyi Captou, "Sir, this is the stable where we are. These two carriages are their carriages. Maybe they can find something useful here. clues."
Ziyi Catcher just nodded lightly when he heard this, and then he only used his eyes to signal others to follow him and take a look.
Soon the detectives started searching in the carriage. Within a moment, one of the detectives found a lantern that had been taken down from the carriage. The lantern had the character "zhou" hanging on it. After that, the others just picked up the lantern from the carriage. The road guides of several other people were found in another carriage.
With this route as evidence, the baggage shop owner quickly determined the identities of these people.
These people were clearly from the capital, and they seemed to be servants of Zhou Shilang's house.
This week, Shilang Zhou is no longer a minister, and he has been exiled to Yunzhou. However, the case in which Shilang Zhou is involved is not over yet.
After all, the Yunzhou prefect had not been caught yet, so when he realized it was the Zhou family, the Ziyi arrester breathed a sigh of relief.
This is a case in the capital, and it is related to the case of Yunzhou Prefect, so they don't have to deal with this difficult case. They just need to protect the scene, then report it to their superiors, and then let the capital send people to handle it. .
Thinking of this, he immediately whispered to several detectives.
The detectives nodded when they heard this.
After the explanation was completed, the Ziyi catcher cleared his throat and said, "This matter is of great importance. I'm afraid it is related to another major case! I have to go back and report it to the adults to make a decision. You keep an eye on the scene. The suspicious persons will stay, and the rest will Please leave quickly."
After saying this, the Ziyi catcher got up and prepared to mount his horse.
Unexpectedly, just when everyone was solemn, only one person walked out of the room that was supposed to be empty.
The man was tall, fat, and hill-like, which matched the description of the tavern owner.
She didn't know what happened, she just yawned and said, "Why are there none of you? Miss, where have you been!"
However, when she finished yawning and looked downstairs, she caught a glimpse of the female body still hanging at the door, and then she immediately let out a shrill scream, "Ah!"
Her scream made everyone's eyes instantly fall on her.
As soon as the tavern owner saw her, he immediately said excitedly, "It's her! It's her!"
Ziyi Catcher thought this was the murderer, so he only
Immediately signal to those around you to go over and capture the opponent.
Although the little fat girl was a woman, she couldn't stand up to her tall stature and strength. She was also panicked and at a loss. During the process of being captured by the group of people, the little fat girl could only fight off two of them.
For a while, no one else dared to get close.
However, they were unwilling to let the little fat girl leave, so they just pulled out their swords and surrounded the little fat girl in a circle.
When the Ziyi captain saw this situation, he even got off his horse and said, "The sword is ruthless, don't resist stubbornly! If you dare to commit a crime, we will be captured as soon as possible."
At this moment, the little fat girl finally recognized that these people seemed to be a group of spies. Since they were from the government and the little fat girl felt that she had not committed any crime, she was naturally not afraid of them. Moreover, there were many people watching in this clear day. This little fat girl My sister is no longer afraid.
Seeing the tavern owner not far away standing next to a Ziyi-clad head catcher, the little fat girl immediately asked the tavern owner for help, "Boss, what is going on now? Where is my girl? And my companion." Woolen cloth?"
The tavern owner shook his head first, and then he pointed tremblingly at the corpse above.
The little chubby girl immediately said in confusion, "You mean this corpse is my companion?"
The tavern owner nodded immediately after hearing this.
The little chubby girl who was surrounded didn't dare to look when she heard this. She just asked the tavern owner, "Boss, what's going on?"
When the boss heard what the little fat girl said, he rolled his eyes. She asked him what was going on, and he wanted to ask her what was going on.
Although his business in this good tavern is not bad, it is still pretty good. Now that something happened to them here, his business has also gone bad.
And he didn’t want to be misunderstood that he had anything to do with the murder, so the boss frantically clarified, “You asked me what’s going on, and I also want to ask you what’s going on. We went back early yesterday. At that time, your You guys know that people are fine. You saw this scene when you came here this morning. Who knows what you did while I was gone!"
