The Land of Chaos is very large, and even taking a spaceship from one town to another would take two days. Mu Qianyu asked Yuan Zhong to control the spaceship.
Yuan Zhong's speed was much faster, and it was nightfall when he arrived.
People from the Tianlong Gang and the Ax Gang gathered around the backyard of the tavern. When Mu Qianyu arrived, he saw the leader of the Tianlong Gang pacing incessantly.
When he saw Bei Chenye and Mu Qianyu arriving, he immediately stepped forward and said, "You two, I swear I didn't do this. I make good money, so there's no way I'm going to cause trouble."
"We have to check whether it was done by you or not." Beichen Ye's voice was a little cooler than usual.
"It's really not me." Tianlong Gang Leader was obviously panicked.
Mu Qianyu looked at the room surrounded by people and said, "Are they over there?"
"Yes." Tianlong Gang Leader replied.
"When did you discover it?" Mu Qianyu walked straight towards the room.
"Tonight in the evening, the shopkeeper saw that Cui Accountant had not been to the tavern all day, so he came to the room to pay the bill. He found that no one was there." Tianlong Gang Leader replied.
"Has the scene been moved?"
"No, we quickly reported to you two as soon as they were gone. The scene was not touched at all."
Mu Qianyu said nothing and walked straight into the room.
This room is just a bedroom, not too big. It has a bed, a set of Eight Immortals tables and chairs, and there are tea sets, abacus, paper and pens and other items on the table.
A chair was overturned on the ground, and the corpse of a middle-aged man in dark blue clothes lay there. His face was blue, and there were no obvious wounds on his body. It could be seen that he was poisoned.
Because there was no rain, the footprints on the ground were not clear. Even with the eyesight of a monk, it was impossible to tell how many people had been here.
Bei Chenye glanced at the room, and there were no signs of it being disturbed. However, the storage ring on the cashier's hand was missing, leaving an obvious ring mark on his finger.
His heart sank slightly. It seemed that there were no clues left in this room.
"Is the shopkeeper here?" Mu Qianyu asked.
"Here you are, this villain was originally from the Ax Gang and worked as a waiter under you." A young man came over.
"The dead person you found?" Mu Qianyu said as he walked around the room. His spiritual power was also revealed.
"Exactly, the villain reports accounts to Cui Accountant every day. Usually the accountant follows the villain in the store. I haven't been there today. I thought he wanted to take a rest. I didn't expect to see him dead when I came in the evening.
." The little shopkeeper answered quite neatly.
In this chaotic place, cannibalism is a common thing, let alone just seeing a dead person.
Mu Qianyu walked to the bedside station and asked, "Is there anyone in front of the door when you came?"
"No." The little shopkeeper shook his head.
"How did you get in?"
"I pushed the door open and came in. The door was unlocked."
Mu Qianyu nodded and looked at Tianlong Gang Leader: "Is there no one standing guard in front of the accounting room?"
"No during the day, but there are at night. Come here, you two." Leader Tianlong called two more young men.
Mu Qianyu looked at the two of them and said, "Were you at the door last night?"
"Yes, we stayed at the door all night."
"Can you hear any noises in the room?" Mu Qianyu walked to the table again, his pen, ink, and abacus untouched. There was also a half-pot of tea and a half-filled teacup with water. None of them were poisonous.
"Sir, the barrier is always on at night, so no sound comes out." A disciple who was guarding the door said.
Mu Qianyu looked at the little shopkeeper.
"Yes, boss, Accountant Cui attaches great importance to his privacy and will open the barrier at night." The little shopkeeper replied.
"Has it been like this for a month?"
"Exactly, it's open every time someone passes by."
Mu Qianyu nodded, "So that's it."
"Madam, do you have any clues?" Beichenye asked.
Mu Qianyu lifted up the chair and sat down. Her position was exactly where Accountant Cui had been sitting before he died. She sat there and looked around.
"Husband, how do you see people die?" she asked.
"The poisonous needle seals the large acupuncture point, and the poisonous gas invades the heart veins instantly and causes death. The death process only takes two or three blinks of an eye." Beichen practiced medicine at night, so he understood this very clearly.
Mu Qianyu raised his finger and pointed at the window lattice opposite his position and said, "Look, husband."
Everyone turned to look and saw that there was an extremely tiny hole in the white paper window. This hole was so small that the monks probably wouldn't be able to see it unless they were very discerning.
"I noticed when I came in that the murderer shot the person from outside, directly opposite the room." Beichen Ye looked at the two gang disciples guarding the door.
The two disciples immediately panicked and shook their heads repeatedly: "You two, it really wasn't us. We didn't see anything."
"I need an explanation." Beichenye looked at Tianlong Gang Leader: "What is going on?"
The leader of the Tianlong Gang looked bitter and said: "It's really not me. Why can't I kill someone if I want to? Why do I need to use poisonous needles?"
"Let me ask you, where were you last night?" Mu Qianyu was still sitting there, playing with the teacup on the table.
"I was in the house last night, and everyone in the house can prove that I never came out." The leader of the Tianlong Gang said with determination.
The corners of Mu Qianyu's eyes suddenly raised and he asked, "Aren't you going to tell the truth?"
"I said, girl, you can't accuse people unjustly. I am telling the truth." The leader of the Tianlong Gang suddenly became tough again: "I haven't killed anyone, and I have never been here."
"I can't think of anyone else who could let your entire Tianlong Gang help him hide it." Mu Qianyu looked at him: "Who else could be there besides you?"
Beichenye stood aside and listened quietly. Investigating cases was not his specialty.
"What are you talking about?" Tianlong Gang Leader was already a little angry.
"I said, you were here last night, and it's not like you didn't touch the scene. You lied." Mu Qianyu said with determination.
This time, not only Beichen Ye, but also other people present were confused.
"Miss Mu, don't talk nonsense."
"This is not obvious." Mu Qianyu stretched out his hand and tapped on the table and said, "This table is so clean that there are no fingerprints. Is this normal?"
The people present listened attentively.
"Accountant Cui died near this table. There are fingerprints on all the teacups, teapots, paper and pens, but not on the table." Mu Qianyu glanced at the table and then looked at the Tianlong Gang Leader: "Unless someone wiped him after his death, I can't think of it.
Other explanation."
The Tianlong gang leader's face darkened slightly.
"Then since you have to clean the table, it must be because there is something on the table that you want to hide. I thought about it for a while and it became clear." Mu Qianyu's finger fell on the teacup.
