The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 266: Wumiao Street Murder Incident [(3)]

Huiyun Tower was a standard double-story building.

In the hall below, there were sixteen scattered square tables.

Upstairs, it was divided into two parts, a scattered hall area composed of nine tables, and a private area composed of two large, two small, and four compartments.

From this pattern alone, it could be seen that Huiyun Tower mainly faced mid to low-end customers, such as Dingxiang Restaurant, which was often visited by officials in the Central Judicial Office. The private rooms would occupy over 70% of the space.

It was precisely because of this that wealthy family slaves like Pan You'an had the capital to book a private room to drown their sorrows in alcohol.

The D-class room was located at the northwest angle of the second floor, which was basically the most remote corner. But for those who wanted to drown their sorrows in alcohol, it was undoubtedly a geomantic treasure.

After going up to the second floor, Sun Shaozong first observed inside and outside and then ordered the two waiters to discuss with each other and reproduce the scene of the scattered guests on the second floor around the time of last night.

The captors in the Central Judicial Office and Wanping County were naturally responsible for playing the role of guests.

There was an old man at this table who alone ordered half a catty of wine and two small dishes to eat.

The place by the window was three young guests, who looked like candidates from other places rushing to take exams. Probably because the results were about to be released and they couldnt sleep, they procrastinated until around midnight before leaving.

There are two guests here, one old and one young.

This table is also for two

No, it's 1 guest

Nonsense, it's clearly two gentlemen.

Due to the fact that there were only five tables of guests scattered outside at that time, the two of them remembered it quite well, but they couldnt decide on one of the tables.

Liu Tiezhu insisted that there was only one guest, but Xu Shengli argued that two guests were dining there at the time.

Master

Xu Shengli saw that he couldn't agree with Liu Tiezhu, so he simply went forward and reported, "At that time, Liu Tiezhu went down to fetch wine and dishes, but for some reason, he was delayed. Coincidentally, a guest arrived upstairs, and I was about to come forward to greet him. This is when I saw the guest at this table stand up and greet him, calling him over.

Don't talk nonsense.

Liu Tiezhu also glared and retorted, "I've been up and down several times, and that guest has always been eating and drinking alone. Where did anyone else come from?

Are you blind? The other guest is an extremely handsome young man. I can't possibly remember wrong.

You're the one who's blind. I've always served these scattered guests, and you think that I can't remember the guests I served?

Seeing the two of them arguing fiercely like cockfights, seemingly forgetting that they were in front of the official, Zhao Wuwei quickly scolded and separated the two, then asked Sun Shaozong how the guests at this table should simulate.

Sun Shaozong pondered for a while, but spoke up and asked, "Regardless of the young man, what does the other guest look like? What does his occupation seem to look like?

Liu Tiezhu rushed and said, "That guest has a very prosperous look, and his clothes and attire are not bad. He looks like a wealthy businessman.

Xu Shengli also quickly added, "I think he's a bit sneaky, I'm afraid he's not a serious trader!

Although the two waiters said different things, the businessman's identity could be determined.

Sun Shaozong then asked after him, "What about the young man? How about his clothes and attire?

This time, Liu Tiezhu had nothing to say but to watch Xu Shengli reply, "The little brother's delicate skin and tender flesh seemed quite arrogant at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it seemed as if he was feeling a bit guilty. He didn't seem like a young master. It was estimated that he was some servant in the big house.

No wonder he was mainly responsible for serving the private room. His ability to observe behavior was indeed much higher than that of Liu Tiezhu.

Sneaky merchants and small servants with some identities were in a big house.

Introducing the identities of these two individuals into the case, Sun Shaozong closed his eyes and simulated them in his mind, then ordered, "Come on, let's try rehearsing.

With these words, Liu Tiezhu was asked to go downstairs first, and then Qiu Yunfei sat alone at the table, playing the role of the sneaky businessman.

Sun Shaozong himself played the role of the handsome young man, first picking up some things from the counter downstairs and then pedaling up the stairs to the second floor.

Upstairs, he saw a group of people staring at him in a daze, unsure of how to react.

Sun Shaozong was speechless, so he gestured to Xu Shengli and explained, "Just like you did yesterday, come and prepare to greet me. Inspector Qiu, as soon as he moves, you'll get up and call me over.

The two of them suddenly realized that Xu Shengli was busy approaching with a smile on his face, while Qiu Yunfei stood up with a big grin and shouted, "Here, here

Sun Shaozong, however, didnt rush over and instead asked Xu Shengli, "At that time, was the merchant greeting like this?

Xu Shengli hesitated and said, "That person's voice seems much quieter than his own, as if he doesn't want others to hear him. His tone should also be a lot more intimate.contemporary romance

Sun Shaozong nodded, but instead of letting the two of them start over, he strode to the table.

First, according to Xu Shengli's description, he sat down with his back facing the staircase entrance, looked around cautiously, and then carefully felt a dark object on his sleeve.

Look!

He lowered his voice but couldn't suppress the pride and flaunting in his voice. "This is a top-notch good object. I can't even ask for it elsewhere. It can only be seen in our mansion.

Qiu Yunfei was intimidated by his words and actions and couldn't help but become a bit sneaky. He stared at the object carefully and saw that it was a black inkstone.

And it was still the most ordinary and cheapest inferior product. It was estimated to be worth two dozen for one or two silvers!

Sun Shaozong still had a flaunting look on his face, as if he were showing off some treasure!

There was no choice, and Qiu Yunfei could only use the expression Are you really teasing me?

At this moment, Sun Shaozong turned to Xu Shengli and asked, "After the young man sat down, did the guests from the A-class private room immediately return upstairs? Then you were busy entertaining them and forgot the guests here?

Right, right.

Xu Shengli nodded vigorously and said, "Youre right, Master. I originally wanted to come over and greet him to see if there were any more guests. Would they like to add some more wine and dishes?

Coincidentally, at this moment, two old acquaintances came with friends, and there could be over a dozen people cheering. I was busy greeting them, and I didn't pay much attention to the situation of scattered seats later.

As expected, Sun Shaozong reached out and pointed to the A-class private room, asking Xu Shengli to sit inside for a while. Then, he asked Jiang Laoqi to call Liu Tiezhu, who was waiting in the kitchen, to go upstairs.

Its you?

When Jiang Laoqi was ordered to go, Sun Shaozong suddenly stood up and exclaimed to the empty D-class room, "Why are you here?

As he spoke, he entered the D-class private room

Who was inside?

Wasnt there no one inside?

Was it possible that Lord Sun had seen a ghost in this bright daylight?

And it was still a familiar ghost?!

The captors were looking at Liu Tiezhu with wild imagination when they saw him running up from below, standing dumbfounded at the stairwell entrance, glaring at the crowd.

At this moment, someone gritted their teeth and said, "You! This flattering idiot!

The sound behind gradually weakened, and only vague movements could be heard.

Qiu Yunfei was hesitating whether to stick himself to the door and listen to it. The voice suddenly rose again, "Okay, fine, you want me to die, right? I

After a sudden rise, the sound became blurry again.

Qiu Yunfei finally couldn't bear it anymore and leaned over to listen closely with his ear pressed against the door.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the room door creaked left and right. Sun Shaozong walked out from inside and asked Liu Tiezhu, "Did you hear anything similar to what you just heard?

That's right, that's the movement.

Liu Tiezhu quickly pecked like a little chicken with his head, saying, "So as soon as I heard it, I knew there was a commotion inside.

It was indeed like that.

Sun Shaozong muttered to himself and then sat back at the original square table with a seemingly enlightened expression on his face.

Qiu Yunfei quickly followed and approached. With curiosity, he couldn't care about putting up an arrogant manner. He poked his neck and said curiously, "Your Excellency, you... did you just encounter something spiritual?

Get lost!

Sun Shaozong glanced blankly and said with confidence, "Im simulating the interaction between the young man and the deceased during their lifetime. If what I expected is correct, this case is not far from the truth.
