MTL - Feng Xing-Chapter 16

This scream sounded in vain in the middle of the night, which was really creepy.

I heard the sound of footsteps outside again, someone shouted that someone was dead, and many people got up in a hurry.

Feng Sheng also heard it.

But she didn't intend to get up, but someone knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"Brother Fang Xian, it's me."

The person who knocked on the door was Fan Jinchuan.

"It seems that someone is dead in the store, do you want to go and have a look?"

Zhichun and Zhiqiu are already up, but Fang Fengsheng doesn't remember it yet.

It is difficult for her to sleep well at night. If she does not sleep well, she will be woken up, and she will feel dizzy and uncomfortable, so her patience will be very bad at this time.

Both Zhichun and Zhiqiu knew it, looked at her hesitantly: "Master?"

Feng Sheng sat up, thinking in his heart that this person is really gossip, that if he dies, he will die, and to watch some excitement, he replied: "Wait for me."

After she got dressed, Zhiqiu went to open the door, and Fan Jinchuan walked in, followed by Xiao Qi.

In the middle of the night, Fan Jinchuan got up in a hurry, but his clothes were not messy. Her hair was in a neat bun, and she was wearing a green robe that had been washed with some white.

"Brother Fang Xian, please forgive Brother Yu for disturbing you late at night, but if something like this happened in the inn, we'd better go and check the situation, and we can also serve as evidence for each other."

"Brother Fan is very careful."

"Brother Yu has encountered similar things before, because he didn't want to cause trouble, so he stayed behind closed doors, but it was Du Shanqi who got into trouble." Fan Jinchuan said with a wry smile.

"Is it also in the inn? Then Brother Fan is a bit unlucky."

Feng Sheng noticed that Fan Jinchuan was not looking at him, and his gaze fell on the bed hesitantly.

Only then did she realize that there were four people in two rooms, and Uncle Yu was a man, so Zhichun and Zhiqiu shared the same room as her. Originally, the two of them were going to sleep on the floor, but it had been raining for days and the ground was wet and cold, so she let them sleep with her.

There's nothing unusual about this kind of thing, because it's been done before. But in the eyes of outsiders, it is different. Three big men sleep on the same bed, which is arousing people's daydream.

Let's look at the two servant girls, especially Zhichun. Although she is dressed in men's clothes, her little face is flushed from sleep and her hair is in a messy bun, which makes people daydream.

Feng Sheng couldn't help coughing.

Fan Jinchuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Brother Fang Xian, let's go?"

For some reason, he didn't look at Fang Fengsheng when he spoke, which was different from his usual habit. Feng Sheng wondered if he had misunderstood something, but she didn't intend to explain.

She nodded, and said to Zhichun Zhiqiu: "You two also came together, and a murder case happened for no reason, it's best to be careful."

When I met Uncle Yu when I went out, the group went to the noisy place.

The dead man was the fat merchant.

This person's surname is Wang, but his name is unknown, and the servants around him call him Master Wang.

Master Wang's death was extremely tragic, he was hit on the head with a blunt object and died on the spot.

When Fang Fengsheng and his party arrived, someone found a cloth and covered Master Wang's head and face. Zhichun was caught off guard when she saw it, so frightened, she crawled behind Fang Fengsheng, hugging her sleeves tightly.

Feng Sheng felt Fan Jinchuan's eyes fall on her arm, coughed, and took the arm out of Zhichun's hand: "It's okay, it's already covered, if you don't believe me, take a look."

Zhichun shook her head again and again: "Master, I'm afraid."

"Look at your timid appearance, the young master is not afraid, what are you afraid of." Zhiqiu laughed at her.

"You stand outside with her for a while, then don't go in."

…

There are already many people standing around the room, all of them are guests staying in the store, as well as the old shopkeeper and two waiters.

The old shopkeeper's face was pale, his body was on the verge of falling, and he kept muttering that he had been feeling bad for the past few days, and always felt that something was going to happen, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

From this point of view, it is deliberate killing, and such things in general inn stalls are also bad luck.

"Shopkeeper, don't panic, you forgot what the official said?"

This kind of small shop in the wilderness is the most prone to accidents. If it is a trivial matter, it is fine. If there is a homicide case, if the real culprit cannot be caught, the inn will be held accountable. After all, people died in the store, and there have been many incidents of murder in black stores in the past, so the government's inspection of such small rural stores is extremely strict.

In the event of a homicide, at least the money will be paid and the store will be closed down by the government.

"Yes, I can't panic."

The old shopkeeper cheered up a bit, then regained his composure, and bowed his hands to the audience: "The little old man opened a shop here and has been in business for decades, not for making money, but for the convenience of everyone who travels from south to north. This is the first time such a tragic incident has happened. I hope everyone will cooperate and find the real culprit as soon as possible. If not, you can only wait for the rain to stop and report to the government. You can only leave when the government comes to investigate the case. "

"It's none of our business to die, why should we waste time here?"

"that is."

Some people also helped to explain for the old shopkeeper, saying that this is usually the way to solve such things. It is estimated that I am used to traveling from south to north, so I know the number of roads inside.

Just as everyone was arguing, Chen Si spoke suddenly.

"I know who the murderer is, it must be him."

"Who?"

Chen Si pointed to Fan Jinchuan who had gone to the corpse at some time and was looking at the injury on the head of the corpse: "That's him! Yesterday the master robbed his room, and even had a few quarrels in public, for no reason, how could anyone Killing people for no reason must be because he held a grudge, and while I was serving water in the kitchen, he killed the master."

As he said that, he bumped headfirst: "Don't touch my master's body, are you trying to destroy the evidence?"

Fan Jinchuan was astonished.

Xiao Qi pushed away Chen Si who was bumping into him, and said indignantly: "What nonsense are you talking about, how could my young master kill someone?"

"Why is it impossible to kill people? Then why did he go to look at the corpse, and others would avoid it, so he went up to it?"

"My son is..."

"Why didn't you say it? You must be an accomplice. Did you accidentally say something wrong?" Chen Si cried and said to the audience: "The people who live here have never met each other and have no grievances." Wuqiu, I really can't think of anyone else who would kill my master besides him. The old shopkeeper, quickly arrest him and send him to the official to seek justice for my master."

Xiao Qi looked anxiously at Fan Jinchuan: "My lord, please say something quickly."

Fan Jinchuan didn't speak, and he didn't know what he was thinking when he frowned.

Fang Fengsheng couldn't stand it anymore, she saw that Brother Fan wasn't stupid, why would he lose the chain at every critical moment. This person is also unlucky, so he will be involved in this kind of thing again.

She stood up and said, "Everyone, be quiet first."

He also said to the old shopkeeper: "Old shopkeeper, I have dabbled in the matter of criminal names because of my family education. If you don't dislike it, how about I help you as a consultant on this matter?"

Although he didn't have much contact with him, Fang Fengsheng's appearance of a scholar, his modesty and courtesy, was very eye-catching among this group of rough merchants and porters. Nowadays, people respect scholars and always think that scholars are smarter than others. Now that Fang Fengsheng took the initiative to take over this matter, the old shopkeeper is very happy.

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it. If the young master can find out the real culprit, the tragic master Wang and the little old man will be very grateful to you."

"It's too early to say these things. Next, I hope everyone will cooperate more." She bowed to everyone, which is also commonly known as courtesy.

"Now, please ask the old shopkeeper to ask someone who is reliable to go to each room to count the guests to see if anyone is not in the room. If there is someone in the room, please invite people to gather in the lobby." Feng Sheng explained while talking : "The road was washed away by the heavy rain. It is unlikely that the murderer ran away. He should still be in the store. And killing people must have the intention to kill, either to vent their anger and murder, or to seek wealth and death. So the second step is to count the master Wang. property to see if there is any loss.”

Experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move.

Fang Fengsheng was just a short paragraph, clear and logical, much better than those who just interrupted at the side, it was reliable at first glance, so the old shopkeeper hurriedly asked people to go down to count the number of people.

"Who was the first to find out that someone was dead?"

After some questioning, the ins and outs of the matter were almost clear.

It was Mr. Wang's servant Chen Si who first discovered the deceased. Because the rainy schedule was hindered, Mr. Wang was in a very bad mood. After drinking in the lobby, he took people back to his room to rest.

There are only two rooms, one for him and Chen Si, and one for the two attendants. However, the two attendants had to guard the goods, and they were resting on shifts. The one who stayed in the room was too tired, and fell asleep when he returned to the room.

In the middle of the night, Mr. Wang was thirsty and wanted to drink tea, so Chen Si went to the kitchen to find water. Unexpectedly, when he returned with the water, he found Mr. Wang dead in the room.

The scream came from Chen Si, the little Er Kuizi rushed over when he heard the sound, and the two bumped into each other in the corridor. For this reason, Kuizi's arm was also bruised.

Feng Sheng asked the guests in the next few rooms, but did not hear any other abnormal noises. There was also the entourage who stayed in the room, he was the third person to arrive, and when he got out of the room, he saw Chen Si collided with Xiaoer Kuizi and fell to the ground.

"Now my suspicion has been cleared, what about his?" Chen Si seemed to have a lot of estrangement from Fan Jinchuan, and he never forgot to accuse him.

"He?" Feng Sheng couldn't help laughing, she didn't know what she was laughing at, but Fan Jinchuan somehow remembered what she said before, brother Fan is really unfortunate.

"Don't worry, you have to eat the food one bite at a time. If it's really him who kills someone to vent his anger, he won't be able to escape."

Chen Si muttered: "You two know each other well, who knows if you will cover him or not."

Fan Jinchuan was about to speak, when another mistress came in a hurry, saying that he had brought people to count, and there was no guest in one room, and he went to check the housing records, and it was three porters.

The three people were still there when they had dinner at night, but then they disappeared.

At the same time, the old shopkeeper who led people to count Mr. Wang's belongings, also counted the results.

According to the information provided by the two attendants of Master Wang, this time Master Wang went to Taixing to collect a batch of goods and silver, and at the same time shipped a batch of goods back from Taixing.

But now that batch of silver is gone.

This time, without Fang Fengsheng's reminder, the old shopkeeper summoned people to chase the three porters back. Because the inn was short of staff, he specifically asked other people for help, and offered a reward that if he could bring these people back, he would give him twenty taels of silver.

And if this kind of murder is reported to the government, there will be rewards.

For the sake of money, many people were eager to try. They were all people who walked outside all the year round. Naturally, their courage was far beyond ordinary people, and several gangs of people joined forces to chase them out immediately.

The next step is to wait.

Because Master Wang's body was still parked there, it was really frightening in the middle of the night, so someone suggested to wait in another place.

The old shopkeeper took people out, but when Fang Fengsheng went out, he winked at Uncle Yu who was standing in the corner of the room and remained silent.

Uncle Yu nodded calmly.

The three porters who escaped were captured and returned.

It's also their bad luck, if there is no reminder from Fang Fengsheng, it must be the next morning when they are found missing by the inn. The porters did the job of escorting goods over long distances. Their feet were amazing, and they didn't carry any weight. With their feet alone, even if the road was washed away by heavy rain, it was enough for them to escape.

It's a pity that Fang Fengsheng reacted too quickly, and they were caught not far away.

They searched and found that the money lost by Master Wang was indeed on them.

Afterwards, without torture, these people were recruited.

In fact, they are also hard-working people. This trip helped people **** the goods, but it was a pity that they lost a package of goods on the way. Because of this, I worked hard for more than a month, but I didn't get a penny of wages, and I was beaten. Not only this, but I didn't find a job when I came back, so I had to return without success.

Unexpectedly, there was heavy rain on the road. Usually, they would eat the wind and drink the dew, but this time it didn't work, and they had to spend their own money to stay in the hotel. A few people were already depressed, but also worried that if they stayed in this shop, they would have no money to settle the bill. At this time, the rich and high-profile Mr. Wang appeared. On the first day of staying in the hotel, he threw money at people, which inevitably fell into people's eyes.

The three porters observed for most of the day, discussed privately, and simply grabbed a ticket and left. Even if they found out about this kind of bad weather, no one would chase them. Maybe by the time someone finds out, they will have gone far away. The world is so big now, where can we find them.

So they aimed at Chen Si when he went to the kitchen to fetch water, attacked Mr. Wang who was alone in the room, robbed the money and fled.

"We just want to grab money, we don't want to kill people."

"I just hit him with a wooden stick, and he fainted at the time. I hit him differently, how could people die?"

Seeing the murder case, the three porters were so frightened that they couldn't figure it out. After trying to excuse each other, the porter who did the work was pushed out.

The porter was also stunned, and he felt as if he was in mourning. He couldn't believe that he was really dead, but the facts were here.

The others didn't know what to say, they felt pitiful for them, but also felt that such people were too hateful. People who often walk outside are most afraid of encountering murder and robbery, so they are naturally disgusted to the extreme.

"Master Fang is really good at predicting things, and his eyes are like a torch. This time is all thanks to you."

"The old shopkeeper is too polite, it's just a coincidence." Feng Sheng smiled, but his brows frowned.

At this time, a clear voice sounded in vain.

"The murderer is not him, but someone else."

The author has something to say: I see a girl asked if the heroine often solves cases like the criminal officer Da Song Ti.

Jinjiang has been a little smoked recently, so it's not easy to comment, so I'll talk about it here. This is not mainly about solving cases. The heroine's early career is a master, and there are two kinds of masters, the famous criminal master and the Qianliang master. It is impossible for those who are professional masters to not understand criminal names, so there will be cases to be solved, but not many. Our main line is to reverse the case and avenge our father, and by the way, it will skyrocket.

About changing the name of the article, once you said it, I was entangled with Feng Sheng's biography, which was too rustic.

A little fairy helped to think of "Huangming Chaoyang", which I think is good, too many people use Fengming Chaoyang. In addition, I thought of "Ming Feng Chaoyang". But it's still quite confusing, let me think about it again, haha, maybe I can't figure it out, so I will continue to use this female teacher.
