When Ah Feng woke up, it was already midnight. He had finished washing up early and spent a lot of effort to play the role of the waiter.
Busily tidying up and opening the door to welcome guests.
Today, as usual, many poor people came to have breakfast, and everything was fine early in the morning.
When the store was about to close, three more people walked in and ordered their own food.
"Did you hear about it? Boss Zhang found Mr. Feng knocked unconscious in the mourning hall this morning, and the body of Mr. Ouyang was stabbed."
"Oh, why haven't you heard about it? It's almost spread throughout the house. They say that enemies from all walks of life are here to seek revenge. They even didn't spare the corpse."
"Isn't that right? I heard that the jade ring on the corpse was also taken away."
The voices of the three people reached Ah Feng's ears. Ah Feng stiffened and his mind was a little confused.
Subconsciously looking at the three people, I found that they were wearing the clothes of the Ouyang Mansion Nursing Home. I guess it was not groundless.
Several people shouted: "Boss, hurry up and bring some mutton soup and pancakes to eat. I have been working hard all night and I am almost starving to death."
Boss Jin quickly said: "Okay, I'll be here right away."
He turned around and glared at Ah Feng: "What are you doing standing around? Hurry up and get the food for the guests."
"Ah, oh, come right away!" Ah Feng came back to his senses, turned around and went straight to the kitchen.
Not long after, three bowls of steaming hot haggis soup and six golden and crisp pancakes were brought up.
The three of them feasted happily, and kept talking: "I don't know what happened last night. Could it be that someone really sneaked in quietly, and then sneaked out again, just to stab the corpse?"
"Yes, there are so many properties in the house, but I only took the jade ring. I think that jade ring is an extremely important treasure."
"Tell me, could it be that the old family master offended someone and was sent a killer to assassinate him?"
"But if the person is already dead and someone comes to stab the body, isn't that unnecessary?"
"From what I see, there is more than one killer, and he is not a group."
"Okay, don't worry about it. Let's eat quickly. You have to go back to work later. Everyone under the Lord Fu has heard that he has taken over the case. He is a smart and cunning person. Don't worry. Got hit."
"Okay, stop talking and eat quickly."
…
Ah Feng kept listening with open ears. After listening to their conversation, he was surprised, but also became more and more sure that he was being used as a scapegoat. The jade ring was gone. Only his mission required this jade ring as a basis, and he also needed to ensure that Ouyang Xun died.
Ah Feng came back to his senses and realized that this was not directed at himself, but at the person who took the task. He just didn't expect that he took the task and didn't take action rashly, but someone couldn't wait and took action in advance.
Suddenly, Boss Jin's voice rang in his ears: "Ah Feng, what are you stunned for? Hurry up and pack your things."
Ah Feng took a look and saw that the people eating had already left, and he seemed to be dazed for a while.
He quickly stood up, put away all kinds of dishes and chopsticks, and set the table in order.
Busy and busy, half an hour passed.
When everything was done, Boss Jin called Ah Feng forward: "Ah Feng, the city is not peaceful these days, and such a big thing happened in Ouyang Mansion again, so be careful. I am planning to stop for a few days. Shop, when you return to the countryside for a few days, you can stay here and help me look after the shop."
Ah Feng said: "Okay, boss."
Boss Jin packed up some belongings and gave Ah Feng a few words before leaving the city.
Ah Feng carefully checked the store and found nothing unusual, so he closed the store door and returned to his room.
Ah Feng needs to sort out his thoughts. The current situation is not good for his identity as a killer. Everything is caused by Ouyang Xun, but he is already dead.
More information is now needed to find out why.
Since someone pretends to be himself and kills people to get his finger, he will definitely kill people and silence them, and he is the one who wants to silence them.
Ah Feng's eyes were full of coldness, he was treated as a pawn by others and discarded like a worn out shoe.
Ah Feng calmed down, walked out of the room, and went straight to the street, heading towards where Ouyang Mansion was.
…
On the other side of the story, Zhang Hu found Mr. Feng unconscious, and then Ouyang's old master's body was stabbed with a knife, and everything was in chaos.
Ouyang Fu rushed to the scene, controlled everyone to protect the scene, and then personally asked the old lady for instructions. After getting the old lady's approval, he went to report to the Lord.
The Lord Fu sent Chen Hong, the head of the capital, to personally supervise the case.
Chen Hong led a group of government officials and came straight to Ouyang Mansion. Someone had already been waiting at the door to meet him, and the group went straight to the mourning hall.
When Chen Hong saw Ouyang Fu, he cupped his hands and said, "Manager Ouyang, I'm on official business, so I can't be polite. Is the scene well protected?"
Ouyang Fu responded: "Chen Dutou, when we found it in the morning, it was a bit chaotic, but we tried our best to protect the scene. You can take a look first."
Chen Hong no longer kept formalities. The investigation was important at the moment, so he walked into the mourning hall first.
In the mourning hall, three incense sticks were rekindled, but there were not many other signs of chaos.
Chen Hong walked around the coffin, but found traces on the ground on the left side of the coffin. They were black marks, but upon closer inspection they turned out to be the ashes of burned paper.
Looking forward, I also found some traces of dust.
Chen Hong ordered several government officials to search carefully, and sure enough, some ashes were also found at a window.
Chen Hong looked inside the coffin and saw blood stains on the Ouyang family leader's chest and the appearance of his hands being torn open, and he had a rough idea.
At this time, Chen Hong raised his head and looked around. What he saw was a faint mark on a pillar.
He stepped forward to take a look, suddenly raised his head, stared at the beams on the top, and ordered two people to bring the ladder over.
When the two climbed up and took a look, as expected, the marks on it were very new.
Chen Hong remained calm and asked his men to collect evidence from the scene, explain various situations, and walk out of the mourning hall.
Seeing Ouyang Fu, he cupped his hands and said, "Manager Ouyang, I wonder if the old lady is okay?"
Ouyang Fuhui said: "The old lady is in good health and has a headache. Is there any result?"
Chen Hong said lightly: "There are some clues, but there is one more thing that needs to be reported to the old lady. Can we do it only after the old lady agrees?"
Ouyang Fu asked: "What's the matter?"
Chen Hongdao: "Autopsy!"
…
Ouyang Fu took Chen Hong to the backyard. The winding path was deep and winding, and after passing through several courtyards, they finally came to the courtyard where the old lady was.
Chen Hong took a quick look and saw an old woman sitting in the hall, with a luxurious appearance, and two young women standing behind her, waiting on her left and right.
At this time, Ouyang Fu stepped forward and said: "Old Madam, this is Chen Hong, the head of the criminal case under the government. Chen Dutou has something to discuss with the old madam."
Chen Hong bowed and said, "Chen Hong has met the old lady."
Someone at the old lady's office had already reported the cause, and now she said softly: "I wonder what happened to Chen Dutou?"
Chen Hongdao: "I came here to investigate the case under the order of the Lord of the Palace. I didn't know what happened before. I asked the government officials and there was no autopsy record. Now, it is found that the body was stabbed. There is a different story at the scene. Hereby, I would like the old lady to agree to conduct an autopsy.”
After Chen Hong finished speaking, he looked at the old lady, trying to see something.
The old lady said calmly: "I wonder what Chen Dutou discovered. Can you tell me about it?"
Chen Hong lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "Old madam, I found two sets of footprints in the mourning hall. They both entered from the outside. One person hid on the beam, and the other broke in through the window. Both of them were against the head of the Ouyang family. I am interested in the corpse, and one of them stabbed the corpse, which is already strange. Therefore, we need to find out the cause of the death of the Ouyang family master before we can do the next step of investigation."
The old lady said: "In that case, let's go ahead and do it, Chen Dutou, catch the murderer and give my son justice."
Chen Hong resigned and went out to the old lady's courtyard with Ouyang Fu.
Chen Hong said: "Manager Ouyang, I have something that I don't understand. Could you please clarify it?"
Ouyang Fu asked: "I wonder what Dutou said?"
Chen Hongdao: "The head of the Ouyang family unfortunately passed away, why does the old lady not look sad?"
Ouyang Fu was silent for a long time and said: "Hey, you all don't know something. When my head was young, he had a flamboyant personality and didn't like to be disciplined. Later, the noble man passed away due to illness. The old lady lost her husband and blamed the fault on the head of the house. The head of the house never To retort, just calm down and inherit the family. Over the past twenty years, the Ouyang family has become one of the top families in Qingyang City."
Chen Hongdao: "In this case, there is not much to go overboard."
Ouyang Fu said: "Yes, everything was fine at first. When the head of the family married, he was from a declining scholarly family. After two years of marriage, he had nothing to do. One time, the head of the house favored a maid after drinking and had a child. But The maid was not very lucky, but she died of exhaustion after giving birth. The child belonged to the madam. Five years later, the madam also passed away. The head of the family had no intention of marrying again, but the old lady took the strong decision and married the famous Zhang family in this place. , there is now the second wife, but the gap between the family owner and the old lady is getting deeper and deeper. Although they are respectful on the surface, they are actually strangers."
When Chen Hong heard this, he clasped his fists and sighed: "I didn't expect that there is such a story in this high-walled compound. Thank you Manager Ouyang for clearing up the confusion."
Ouyang Fu said: "There is no need for this. If it is beneficial to Dutou's investigation and justice to the family master, this is the greatest use of this old slave."
After saying this, the two of them went straight to the mourning hall.
Chen Hong called his subordinates and brought Wu Zuo here. After rejecting all the irrelevant people, he personally accompanied Wu Zuo to inspect the body of the deceased.
Half an hour later, Wu Zuo completed the autopsy and said to Chen Hong: "The stab wound on the corpse's chest was from behind. If you look at the mark on his left hand, you should see that a wrench has been taken away. There are bruises on the back of the corpse's head, which are heavy objects." It was caused by knocking, and there were still elixir residues in his stomach, and there was still a smell of alcohol. The elixir was coated with sugar, and when combined with the alcohol, it became highly toxic."
Chen Hong asked: "Did he be poisoned to death?"
Wu Zuo nodded and shook his head: "It is true that he was poisoned, but the blow to the back of the head was also a fatal injury. This is responsible."
Chen Hong narrowed his eyes slightly: "It seems to be getting more and more interesting. Come, please go and invite Manager Ouyang and all the young masters to ask me if you have any questions."
The men left in response. Chen Hong stared at the head of the Ouyang family who was covered again and sneered.
To be continued.
