A quarter of an hour later, Wang San'er was called to the county government office again. He glanced at Wang Yicheng timidly and fell to his knees with a plop.
In order to appear friendly to the people, Lin Sheng narrowed his eyes and raised his hand: "Get up and talk."
"yes."
"Look at this knife, do you recognize it?" Xiao County Lieutenant asked.
The officer on the side quickly held the knife and handed it over.
Wang Saner carefully took the knife and looked at it: "I know, this is the one we lost in the wine shop."
"How can you tell?" I asked.
"I use it to cut ropes to tie wine jars every day. It feels right, and the tree scar on the handle looks like a dog's head." Wang San'er replied.
I took it and took a closer look, and it looked quite similar.
"Go down." Lin Sheng waved to Wang San'er.
"Master Mingjian, this Wang really didn't know anything about it! Yang Mosheng must have received his salary and went home the night before yesterday. He was afraid of being assassinated, so he took this knife from the cabinet to defend himself. I didn't expect that it would actually happen on the road.
When it comes to robbery, in order to defend yourself, I kill someone, and then I get scared and hide." Wang Yicheng analyzed.
I thought that Xiao Mu's plan was also to pin the murderer's crime on Yang Mosheng. Wang Yicheng, as the deputy captain of Team Xu, should also be performing a mission, so I agreed: "Your inference is reasonable. In this case, Yang Mosheng
It's not a simple disappearance, it's a murder and absconding."
"This... this really has nothing to do with me. Although he is from our wine shop, I can't control what he wants to do. I hope the master can tell the truth!" Wang Yicheng said nervously.
"Okay, it's none of your business. Go down and I'll call you again if necessary," Lin Sheng said.
"Yes. Wang is resigning."
Seeing that Wang Yicheng had withdrawn, I analyzed again: "The day before yesterday, I went to Qian Bei Bu Drunken Restaurant. Wang Yicheng said that he paid Yang Mosheng his salary and let him go back after a while.
However, Cheng Laoliu saw the murder with his own eyes in the four alleys of South Street around 11:00.
It usually only takes two-quarters of an hour to get from the wine shop to my house, so where did he go during the intervening hours?"
County Lieutenant Xiao nodded in agreement: "Li Jianghu's analysis is good. It seems that Yang Mosheng is not simple. He must have some unknown secrets."
Lin Sheng finished recording what the few people had just said and blew the paper: "Now it seems that if you want to solve the case, the key is to find Yang Mosheng. Come on, please add another line to Yang Mosheng's missing person notice: Anyone who provides clues
, rewarded with one hundred articles."
Lieutenant Xiao was a little anxious: "Then what should we do now? Just wait and see?"
"Now?" Lin Sheng looked outside: "It's almost noon now. After asking about the case for a long time, not only does my head hurt, but my stomach is also hungry. Aren't you hungry?"
"This..." Lieutenant Xiao touched his stomach and said with a smile, "It's a good thing you didn't mention it, but I'm really hungry when I mention it."
"Okay, let's go eat first. Li Jianghu, let's go together. I'll treat you."
I was a little embarrassed: "Thank you for your kindness, Chief. Li can just eat whatever he likes, and don't bother the Chief..."
"Hey, don't give me face? The imperial envoy often teaches us that the officials and the people are one family, so you should just help us complete the imperial envoy's mission." Lin Sheng said decisively.
I clasped my hands deeply and said, "Thank you very much, Chief."
"Okay, let's go, it's just the three of us. How about Jianghu Inn? I heard the roast chicken there is very delicious!"
Xiao County Lieutenant smiled and said: "Ask as you please. Please!"
Jianghu Inn! I felt uneasy for a while. The county government should also have meals at noon, so why did he go out to treat guests? Does he have a lot of money? And he chose Jianghu Inn...
After they changed into casual clothes, I followed them into the car with questions. There were so many pedestrians along the way that it was difficult to move. It took almost two-quarters of an hour to drive to Jianghu Inn.
"Hey, come on, it's better to go fast than to sit in this car!" Xiaoxian Lieutenant took the lead to get out of the car and complained.
"It's better to sit in the car and observe the sentiments of the people than to be squeezed in the crowd." Lin Sheng smiled and looked at himself: "No one will recognize us with the way we are dressed, right?"
Lieutenant Xiao Xian comforted him: "We are all civilians. As long as we don't do anything too conspicuous, no one will notice us."
The two of them had already entered the inn while they were talking, so I had to hurry up and follow them.
"Guests, please come in. How many of you are there?" Ah Wu greeted.
"Three people." Lin Sheng replied, deliberately putting his hand on his forehead and covering his face.
"Hey, Li Jianghu! Are these two your friends?" Ah Wu saw me coming in and standing with them, grinning: "There are so many people recently, so I'm really sorry. Why don't you just sit here and wait for a while, and watch
Take a look at the menu and arrange it for you as soon as it’s packed out.”
I looked around the living room, and sure enough, it was packed with people. Everyone was chattering away, and I couldn't hear exactly what was being said. It made me feel dizzy, as if I was locked in a birdcage.
"How about changing to another one?" Lieutenant Xiao frowned.
"It doesn't matter. I didn't make a reservation in advance. When it's time to eat, it's the same as anywhere." Lin Sheng sat down on Ah Wuzhi's bench, seemingly not ready to leave.
"Your dishes are ready, please use them slowly!" Sun Chenxian's voice was still a bit immature, but he was still shouting in a decent manner.
"Where's the wine? I've been waiting for a long time!" The guests at the next table were still not satisfied, and a man in white patted the table and urged.
"I'll be here soon. I'm really sorry." Ah Wu consoled him while picking up the leftovers from another table, then stretched his neck and shouted toward the backyard: "Master, master, there's no wine.
Come on, go bring a jar of wine from the cellar."
I couldn't help but take another look at him. This Ah Wu was so capable that he actually summoned his master. Lin Sheng and Xiao County Lieutenant also laughed and said nothing. They probably had the same doubts.
"Here it comes, here it comes." Li Dongsheng came to the living room excitedly holding a wine jar as big as a head: "Who wants the wine?"
"Table No. 3." Ah Wu said, his tone suddenly full of helplessness: "Sir, boss, you really only moved such a small altar?"
Li Dongsheng was startled: "Didn't you say you brought a jar? You didn't say whether it was a big jar or a small jar. This wine cannot be eaten as food. Drinking to enjoy yourself, drunkenness will harm your health."
As he spoke, he put the wine jar on the guest table, pointed at the four of them who were already a little drunk and said: "I tell you, you guys have been eating for more than half an hour, that's it. You can finish this jar of wine."
Go quickly, don't hold the table, there are people waiting to eat behind you."
I was shocked. Although this Li Dongsheng had changed into an ordinary stubby shirt worn by a waiter today, his temper as a kid from a rich family had not dropped at all. Although there were many people like us waiting to eat, how could he talk to the guests like this?
.
"What did you say? Tell me again!" The person among the four who just slapped the table to encourage drinking was really angry. He stood up unsteadily, pointed his finger at Li Dongsheng and threatened.
Li Dongsheng showed no fear, and even said loudly: "I told you drunkards to get out of here as soon as you finish eating!"
As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy living room fell silent for an instant, and everyone looked at Li Dongsheng.
"I'm sorry, everyone, it's okay. Let's continue eating and drinking." Uncle Fu quickly put down his abacus, ran over, smiled and bowed to the guests, and grabbed Li Dongsheng: "Oh, boss,
How can you say that? Isn't this offending the guests?"
"My boss? Oh, I really didn't see it. You are the husband that Madam Mu has chosen? Why do you think Madam Mu chose such a useless thing?" The person who just slapped the table mocked in a sinister way.
"That's right. Let me tell you, why don't you kowtow to our boss and apologize soon? Believe it or not, I will shut down your inn!" The person opposite him also stood up and threatened.
"Yes, if you offend a guest, aren't you afraid that Madam Mu will punish you by kneeling on the washboard when you go back?" The third person also laughed.
"I really don't know where such a pretty boy came from. He doesn't understand the rules...ah..." Before the fourth person could finish his words, he suddenly screamed.
Because Li Dongsheng had already kicked him to the ground, then stepped on him and locked one of his arms on his back. A slight pull made him grimace in pain, fearing that the arm would have been out of place long ago.
.
"You... you... you actually hit someone!" The man in white never expected that Li Dongsheng would take action. He was frightened for a moment, but he still persisted: "You... do you still have Wang Fa?"
Li Dongsheng smiled contemptuously: "Wang Fa? You guys just used your drunkenness to talk dirty words. I have tolerated you for a long time. I wanted to let you finish the jar of wine, but who knew you even scolded me? Then I
Why do we still do your business?”
Uncle Fu sighed helplessly: "My boss..."
Li Dongsheng shook off his hand: "Since I am the owner, I have the final say in this inn. I will leave my words here today. These bastards will not be allowed to step into my Jianghu Inn in the future! Why don't you get out?
Shall I kick you out?"
The four of them had never seen such a domineering boss. They looked at each other and couldn't find the words to refute, so they had to run out in despair. When they reached the door, the man in white shouted loudly: "You... just wait for me!"
"
"Ah Wu, clear this table. Throw away all the plates, bowls and chopsticks they used!" Li Dongsheng ordered.
"Ah? Throw it away? This... boss, why is this necessary? What happened to these plates?" Ah Wu's face was full of disbelief.
Li Dongsheng was still angry: "What? You don't want to work here anymore?"
"Ah? Think about it, I... just go... throw it away, and I don't need to pay for new ones." Ah Wu muttered, carrying a few plates of food to the street, and shouted:
“I don’t want these anymore, whoever wants them can take them!”
Immediately, all the leftover food, wine and tableware were snatched away.
"Okay, okay, I just disturbed you all. Let's continue, hehehe, continue." Uncle Fu walked around the table with a smile on his face.
"Brother Jianghu, come on, this table is cleared, bring your friends over and sit down." Sun Chenxian wiped the table where the four drunkards were sitting and shouted to me.
The three of us sat over and ordered some of the store's signature dishes.
Looking at Li Dongsheng walking in the store, Lin Sheng bumped Xiao County Lieutenant's elbow and smiled slightly: "This owner is a bit interesting."
