Everyone thought it was true. Although it seemed to have nothing to do with them, they lived in an inn and were outsiders. Once a case occurred, they were always suspected.
I hurried to the kitchen. Sure enough, there was a man lying in the narrow kitchen operating room, a middle-aged man lying on his back, his eyes wide open, and his mouth was full of blood.
There were three people standing at the kitchen door, one was a choreographer, the other was a chef, and a girl. The three of them were so scared that they shivered and shivered. The boss had already gone to report to the official and had not come back yet.
"What's going on?" Bai Yue said.
"No, I don't know." The chef calmed down a little. Hearing Bai Yue's question, although he didn't know who she was, he knew that he had a big shot in the inn these days and had so many subordinates. He must be a identifiable person.
.
Bai Yue said: "Who found the body?"
The chef raised his hand tremblingly.
"Tell me about the situation in detail."
The chef said, "Tonight, supper time has passed. Because the guest paid a lot of money, I had agreed before that in addition to the three meals in the morning, noon and evening, we also need to prepare midnight snacks. We are about to prepare midnight snacks now."
"Xiao Lian and I are her..." The chef pointed to the girl beside him: "We both came together. When we entered the door, we saw Lao Lu lying on the ground. I thought he had had some illness, but when I looked up, he had already seen him.
I'm dead, and I don't know what it was, but my mouth is full of blood."
Xiaolian is a little girl who does odd jobs and nods repeatedly to confirm what she says to help the chef.
"I was the last one." The servant said timidly: "When I came, the shopkeeper had already arrived. I didn't dare to go into the kitchen, I don't know what's wrong inside."
It was already dark, the lights were lit in the kitchen, the pot was bubbled with boiling water, and the chopping board was still filled with vegetables, bamboo shoots, bacon, and a few eggs. It seemed that the deceased was about to make a salty one before.
Meat egg custard, but before the water was opened, people died.
Bai Yue said: "You all live in the inn. Have you heard any abnormal sounds or suspicious people tonight?"
Everyone shook their heads, then looked at Xu Feiyang and others timidly, and everyone was all dark.
There are so many strangers in the inn recently, they are them, and each of them is carrying weapons, and they look murderous.
Bai Yue was too lazy to deal with this speculation and said, "Have you touched anything in the kitchen after discovering the deceased?"
Several people shook their heads again: "No, no, when we saw Lao Lu lying on the ground, his face was covered with blood, we were all frightened and immediately ran out, not even a spoon dared to move."
In a small place, everyone lived close to each other, and the people from the yamen came while talking. A middle-aged captain brought several yamen runners and was blocked by Xiao Tong when he came in.
Xiao Tong followed Ning Wang all year round and dealt with subordinate officials. A small captain was naturally at ease. He didn't know what he saw and said a few words, so the captain nodded and bowed.
"Below is the constable Yasuda Yuan of Qixian Town." The constable said, "This is Miss Bai."
Bai Yue nodded, and without saying nonsense, he recounted what he had just asked.
Yasuda Yuan listened to her description, and his words were clear and neat, and nodded repeatedly: "Miss Bai, let's go in and take a look."
The kitchen space is not big, and the windows are open. Although it is winter, the kitchen is filled with smoke, so the windows are open all year round. Yasuda looked outside and found nothing unusual.
After all, this is not a case in Dali Temple. Bai Yue just doesn't want to cause trouble and doesn't have the reason to command it too carefully. She didn't look around, just stood next to the body.
Bai Yue looked at the corpse and felt a little strange. He suddenly felt a little shocked. He squatted down while touching his waist bag.
Bai Yue said: "I am a coroner, I want to see the body."
The gloves she used to carry with her in her pocket all year round. All the previous supplies were found by Tan Yueling and lost, and another batch was replaced.
Lin Yi and Xu Feiyang were not surprised by her voice. Others, including Xiao Tong, were a little stunned and looked at her blankly.
Bai Yue was very calm, and broke the deceased's head over, looked carefully, and said, "He... has lost his tongue."
Everyone was stunned.
"The wound is in the throat." Bai Yue said: "There are no obvious scars in the torso and limbs, and there is no sign of poisoning. It should be someone who stabbed his throat with a dagger to death, and he cut his tongue off... Maybe
He took it away and searched in the kitchen to see if there was any tongue cut by the murderer."
Except for the kitchen chef and maids and servants, everyone has seen dead people here, but they have never seen such a strange way of death. It is really scary to find a bloody and lively tongue in a dark place.
The inn owner stood at the door, holding the door frame so shaking that he couldn't stand: "Who did it, who did it."
But who knows this question? Bai Yue looked at him with a very pitiful and sighed: "Constable An, we are just living here, afraid that the scene will be destroyed, so he took a look first. Since you are here,
If you leave it, we will say goodbye."
"Okay." Yasuda Yuan was one big and two big at this moment: "Ms. Bai, please go and rest yourself, but someone died here and the murderer has not been caught yet. Miss Bai must pay attention to safety."
The captain didn't know who Bai Yue was, but he only knew that he was the wife and lady of a high-ranking official from the capital. At this time, he was already thinking about whether to send someone from the yamen to add another layer of security. If the murderer hid in someone
If Bai Yue is injured, they cannot bear this responsibility.
Bai Yue was grateful for Yasuda Yuan's kindness, and brought about a dozen bodyguards and returned to the room in a mighty manner. As he walked, Lin Yi suddenly said, "Miss Bai, I have a question to ask you."
"Well, you said?"
"Who do you think the murderer is?"
Bai Yue looked at her with a look of a madman: "Do you think I am a charlatan?"
Lin Yi was embarrassed and touched her nose: "Of course not."
"Then how can I know who the murderer is?" Bai Yue gave Lin Yi a blank look: "I don't even know who the victim is. Fortunately, you are not my boss, otherwise I would have stopped doing it."
Lin Yi was embarrassed to say, but she said firmly: "Then, guess?"
Bai Yue was speechless: "Did you guess you have money?"
"..." Lin Yi silently took out a piece of silver.
Bai Yue: "…"
Lin Yi explained: "The young master always said in front of me that you are very powerful, and I just want to see how powerful you are."
Lin Yi returned to her hometown a few days ago, but she couldn't see Bai Yue's various methods. She only knew that the young master had changed his personality after only more than a month after leaving.
Xu Feiyang remained silent, Bai Yue took the silver from Lin Yi's hand, weighed the weight, and said with satisfaction: "Then I will tell you."
