Chapter Two [Thundering the Grass to Startle the Snake]
Li Shancai's whole body was convulsed with pain. His mouth was trembling, but he couldn't say a word. His eldest son rushed to the ground angrily and pushed Shi Bin. Shi Bin let out an ouch, rubbed his chest and lay down on the ground, making a loud and miserable sound.
He yelled: "Hit someone, someone is attacking an official!"
Both sides started shouting and yelling. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Li Shancai took a breath and stood up, and yelled with all his strength: "Stop it!"
Chief Yan and the others were just waiting for him to say this, but Li Shancai's two sons were so angry that they wanted to take action. Li Shancai slapped them back one by one. Li Shancai gasped, tightened his legs and turned around, reluctantly
He put on a smile at Yan Captou, raised his hands and said, "Yan Captou, I admit my failure. Please set a clear path. If I can do it, I, Li, will never even frown."
Yan Captou tried to smooth things over and said: "Boss Li is indeed a sensible person. I will tell you clearly that the Tutu Temple case is indeed related to your Li family, and the case is very strange. It has alarmed Dongchang. If you don't cooperate well, Dongchang will be waiting for you."
When the boss of the factory comes, he won't be as polite as us. As for what Duan Fei and Shi Bin did just now, you should know what happened. Now that both sides are even, boss Li shouldn't still be concerned about it?
"
When he heard the word Dongchang, Mr. Li shivered with fright. His life and fortune were so important that he couldn't care about these small grudges. He hurriedly took out a red envelope from his arms and quickly handed it to Capt. Yan's hand.
As if he had met his biological father, Baiqing said: "Master Yan, just tell me what you want me to do. The lives of hundreds of my family members are in your hands, Master Yan!"
Yan Captou opened the red envelope and took a look inside. He put the red envelope in his arms with a cold expression and said, "Isn't Boss Li just beating up the beggar?"
Mr. Li was sweating profusely. He was even more serious than when he was kicked to the bone just now. He hurriedly apologized and said, "Yes, yes, yes. I will prepare a generous gift right away. I hope Master Yan will accept it."
Only then did Capt. Yan show a satisfied smile and said, "There's no need to rush to handle the case. The brothers are all hungry. Boss Li, I'm going to have to disturb the house."
"It should be, it should be..." Mr. Li cursed in his heart, but his face was filled with joy. He urged the old butler, whose face was half swollen, to prepare the food and drinks. He personally invited Yan Cap to sit on his head and served tea and water. He was so busy.
Just like a gray grandson.
A sumptuous dinner finally came to an end with Mr. Li's attentive encouragement to eat and drink. Yan Captou burped, shaved his teeth and said to Mr. Li: "Your family is hosting a banquet that day, and the chef is from He Lailou."
Chef Tan?”
Mr. Li said: "Yes, yes, the original one was Chef Tan, but he said he had lost his knife and left angrily. In the end, I had to hire two more chefs. Could this be happening?
Does it have anything to do with the Tutu Temple case?"
Yan Captou said: "Come on, now we have found out that it was the set of knives he lost that killed someone. He said the knives were lost at your Li's house, so I had no choice but to come to your Li's house to look for him."
"He...he...he's talking nonsense, Ah Fu, it was you who invited Master Tan here that day. What happened?" Mr. Li looked at the old butler who had been waiting beside him and asked.
Li Fu hesitated for a moment and said: "Master, it was me who personally brought Master Tan back that day. He was indeed carrying a long leather bag when he came. After sending him into the kitchen, I went to do other things.
, who would have thought that not long after, there was a quarrel in the kitchen. According to the cooks and servants at home, when Master Tan took out the knife, everyone praised the knife's exquisiteness and sharpness. Later, everyone got busy and stopped.
When I saw those knives again, Master Tan had a habit of changing his clothes and washing his hands before doing anything. As soon as he turned his back, the set of kitchen knives and the leather sheath were gone."
Duan Fei interrupted: "In other words, Master Tan's kitchen knife was indeed lost in your Li family."
"Yes... but there were many people on that day, so maybe an outsider sneaked into the kitchen and stole the kitchen knife..." Li Fu defended.
Duan Fei sneered and said: "What a joke, the Li family's kitchen is placed at the main entrance? How many turns do you have to turn and enter from the banquet hall to the kitchen? The kitchen is so big, and the servants come and go, isn't there anyone?
Have you seen any strangers break in? Are there so many dogs in our house just for decoration?"
Li Fu was speechless, and Chief Yan said: "Call me the chefs, handymen, nurses, and maids who were working in the kitchen that day. Anyone who has some connection with them will be arrested. If there is one missing and the murderer cannot be found, I will arrest him."
You, Li Fu, will take the blame alone! I believe Boss Li also supports it."
Li Fu thought hard for fear of missing one person, so he spoke out names one by one. Gradually, the front hall was filled with people. When he could no longer count anyone, Duan Fei suddenly asked: "Is there anyone after the wedding banquet?"
Please resign and leave the Li family."
Li Fu said in shock: "No, no one has left for half a year, but there are many new servants and maids in the family."
Duan Fei nodded and looked towards Yan Captou. Yan Captou shouted: "Come up one by one. Those outside are not allowed to whisper or make gestures with their eyes. You guys go out and keep an eye on me. If anyone tries to collude with the confession, I will take him down on the spot."
, on the theory that the murderer is accomplices.”
Duan Fei closed his eyes to rest. Yan Captou took turns asking people to come up and ask them one by one according to the questions Duan Fei gave. They were all very common questions. Where had he been that day? Who could confirm it? What suspicious things had been seen?
People, have you seen anyone come into the kitchen? Wait, Duan Fei seemed to be asleep, and he didn't even open his eyes until the last person asked. Yan Captou asked, but his mouth went dry and he drank several cups of Pangdahai.
Nothing was found, and nothing was found again. Yan Captou turned around and saw Duan Fei taking a rest, and couldn't help but feel a little angry. He kicked him and said, "Duan Fei, what do you mean?"
Duan Fei opened his sleepy eyes with a sound. He looked around blankly and said in astonishment: "Have you finished asking all the questions?"
There was a buzz in Yan Captou's head and he almost fell down. Duan Fei rubbed his eyes with a smile and said: "Just kidding, I've been listening to it. There are so many people with the same problems. It's so boring...
…”
Duan Fei stood up and stretched, and Yan Captou really wanted to pinch his neck and force him to say something.
The owner of the house, Li Shancai, also hoped that Duan Fei could find out something. Under everyone's attention, Duan Fei said something that made everyone want to beat him up: "It's getting late. I've bothered Boss Li for so long.
I’m really sorry, so I’m arresting the head and telling the brothers to call it a day.”
"This...this...what is going on?" Li Shancai was dumbfounded.
Duan Fei scratched his head and said with a dry smile: "It's okay. Nothing was found. Everyone in Boss Li's family is fine. We should go back to sleep."
Yan Captou's face suddenly turned a little dark, and Li Shancai's face turned purple. He suppressed his anger and said: "Yan Captou, I will go visit Master Min early tomorrow morning and ask him to give me an explanation!
please!"
Master Li picked up the tea cup at hand, and Li Fu, who was waiting on the side, immediately sang loudly: "Serve the guests with tea..."
Yan Captou and the others left Li's house in dejection, and the red-painted door closed with a bang. Yan Captou was about to bombard Duan Fei, but this guy mysteriously put his index finger in front of his mouth, let out a hiss, and then immediately
He took everyone and hid in the dark behind the corner of the street.
"What are you doing?" Yan Captou asked.
"Shh, blow out the lantern, you will understand after a while," Duan Fei said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a noise coming from the front door of the Li family. The lanterns were blown out. Everyone held their breath. Duan Fei and Yan Captou peeked over and saw the minister next to the front door of the Li family.
The small door for people to come in and out was halfway open, and a person stretched out his head and looked around, and finally walked out.dd
