"Miss, everyone is here. From buying the ice to transporting the ice back, to sending it to the kitchen, to the chef and assistant cook in the kitchen who are responsible for making ice drinks, there are only a few of them."
After the shopkeeper explained the situation of several people coming into contact with the ice one by one, he stepped aside and said no more.
Ning Wan looked at the five people and gave Zi Su a gesture, so Zi Su casually took someone to a private room farther away.
When everyone saw this posture, were they going to be interrogated one by one?
The remaining people looked at each other and then lowered their heads again.
Not long after, Zisu came out carrying the first person, and then grabbed the second one.
The first person continued to wipe the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves from time to time until he came out. The other people couldn't help but curiously asked: "What did the girl ask? Why are you so scared?"
The guy said: "They just asked me if I had met any strange people on the way to buy ice, or if I had let the ice out of my sight on the way. I said no, I just pulled the ice directly from the ice shop.
Came back to the store."
A few people expressed disbelief and felt guilty, so why are you sweating?
The man laughed twice and lowered his head again.
Ning Wan narrowed her eyes.
After Zisu examined all five people one by one, only the first person turned pale, sweating from time to time on his forehead, and his eyes were looking around, as if he was ready to escape at any time.
"Miss, the guys in the kitchen are fine. It's the guy who went to buy ice. His reply was incoherent and full of loopholes. The servants suspected that he was working with an outsider, and that he transferred the ice needed in the store to frame us."
As soon as she finished speaking, the guy she identified immediately knelt down and cried: "Miss, there are no villains. Villains are just timid. As long as someone wants to judge villains, especially those alone, villains will
If you feel weak, this is definitely not because the villain is feeling guilty, but because the villain is really scared."
As he spoke, he wiped his sweat again.
Ning Wan looked at him quietly and said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, Liang Ji Ice Shop is not far from our store. On your way back, the bosses and clerks of the shops next to you can see you. I'll ask someone to find out.
If you have met anyone else, you will know just by asking."
With that said, she waved to Banxia, and Banxia went out immediately.
Seeing this, the man finally couldn't hold it any longer and knelt down directly: "Miss, the villain didn't mean it. It's just that the villain's cousin said there was a way to make money, so Fei took the villain aside and talked for a long time.
But the villain promises that those ice crystals have never left the villain’s sight. The villain…”
However, no one would believe what he said next.
After all, it was such a coincidence that after buying ice on the front foot, someone got stuck on the back foot. If there was nothing wrong in the process, even a fool would not believe it.
"Who is your cousin? What is his name? Where does he live and what does he do?" Zi Su asked.
As soon as the man saw her, he trembled and kowtowed quickly: "The little man's cousin is a carpenter. His craftsmanship is not bad. He can earn a few taels of silver every month. He lives behind Wangyue Tower."
An alley, a big locust tree in the yard
That family belongs to him. He asked me to stop working as a waiter here and to do carpentry work with him. He also said that there was a rich man who wanted to build five sets of furniture at a time and he was a little busy.
But come here, I want to be a deputy."
Ning Wan looked at him and felt that this did not sound like a lie, so she asked Zisu to bring this man over.
Zi Sugen took the address given by the clerk and quickly found the cousin.
When the cousin came in and saw this posture, the scene was comparable to that of a three-chamber trial, and his calf suddenly felt a little trembling.
"Do you really have business and want to drag your cousin to do it with you? Or are you being instructed by someone to deliberately trip him up?" Ning Wan asked straight to the point, "Don't try to lie in front of me, I have a lot of things.
I'll force you to tell the truth, but you must not try."
As she spoke, she took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve pocket and played with it with interest.
Her appearance made people subconsciously feel that what she was holding in her hand must be fatal poison.
"Don't doubt our lady's medical skills. She can feed you poison first, revive you when you are about to die, and then give you another poison. Anyway, as long as you can bear it
, neither the left nor the right will die." Zi Su added at the right time.
The man's face turned pale when he was frightened by the master and the servant, and he immediately said: "It is true that someone gave the villain ten taels of silver and asked the villain to come and talk to his cousin for a few words, but as for why the other party wanted the villain to do this?
I do it, but I don’t know. I can get ten taels of silver just by asking my cousin to talk a few words. I thought, and I don’t want to suffer any loss, so I did it, but I really don’t know the reason."
At this moment, he really regretted it. If he had known better, he should not have coveted the ten taels of silver.
When he came, there were many people outside the door who wanted to explain the truth. No matter how stupid he was, he guessed that the matter might have something to do with him. He was so frightened that he almost cried.
Ning Wan stared into his eyes and asked, "Who bribed you?"
