Chapter 77
The room is not far from the lobby. Judging from the layout inside, it should be used as a backstage and dressing room.

Wan Catcher led Fang Jingzhe into the house, asked his followers to guard the entrances and exits, and then sat down at the table.

Due to his status as a servant, Fang Jingzhe could only stand aside, hunched over slightly, thinking about countermeasures in his heart.

"What's your name?" Wan Butou sized him up for a while before asking.

"Master Hui, the younger one's name is Ah Fu."

"The one who has been serving Miss Xia?"

"Yes, the little one has been serving Miss Xia all the time."

Fang Jingzhe's mind turned wildly, and he took out all the things that Xiaotao told him about the boy Fu.

The original true Ah Fu was indeed chosen to be Xia Zijin's exclusive servant shortly after Xia Zijin was listed.

Anyone who works in this business knows that if a boy and a servant girl follow a popular girl, they will be regarded as copying it in this life, and the rewards from the benefactors and the benefits from the girl are absolutely indispensable.

Because of this, the other servants in the Chunfeng Building were envious and red-eyed, saying that Ah Fu was so lucky because he had a good name.

But in fact, Ah Fu didn't see Xia Zijin very often, and Xia Zijin's personal maid almost always called him to do things.

I have to keep explaining that the lady doesn't like people who talk too much, and she is not allowed to talk about the right and wrong of the lady outside.

After a long time, Ah Fu also remembered it, so even if someone wanted to ask him about Xia Zijin, he would just prevaricate it.

Wan Butou nodded, his hawk-like eyes swept over Fang Jingzhe's hands.

It has to be said that Xiao Tao's disguise technique is really meticulous. Apart from the appearance of her face, as long as the skin that is usually exposed, she has disguised and disguised Fang Jingzhe.

Therefore, what Wan Tutou sees now is a pair of fair but slightly rough hands with calluses on the palms and inside of the thumbs.

Of course, this hand can't be too rough. Although it's rough work, it's still serving girls after all. Compared with farmers who plan food in the field, it's much better.

Wan Butou didn't see any flaws, and continued to ask: "Did you hear any movement last night, or saw any unusual people?"

"My lord, I slept so hard at night, I didn't hear or see anything. If I saw it, I just said it in the hall."

Fang Jingzhe lied.

He considered that if he told Catcher Wan about the man in black at night, maybe he could help him identify the suspect as soon as possible and solve the case quickly, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the plot.

However, he had deliberately concealed this in the hall just now.If this meeting is said, Wan Butou only needs to ask "Why didn't you tell it at that time", it will make him very passive, and he might even become one of the suspects.

Wan Butou didn't continue to ask this question, but just asked about Xia Zijin again.

For example, "What was unusual about Miss Xia yesterday", "Who did Miss Xia meet yesterday" and so on.

Fang Jingzhe shook his head like a rattle and asked him a question.

Anyway, he is a servant, and he is not a person who warms the bed, so it is reasonable to say that he does not know such a specific matter.

Wan Butou didn't seem to be annoyed by the answer given by the other party, but continued to ask: "Then do you know why Miss Xia recommended you to investigate the murderer today?"

What I said earlier was just condiments, and this sentence is the key point.

Fang Jingzhe sighed feignedly, and replied: "The little one thinks that Miss Xia is kind-hearted, probably because she is afraid that we servants will die in vain, and usually thinks that the little one is safe and smart in doing things, so I recommend it to Mr. Nuan."

"Oh?" Wan Tutou's expression was a little playful, as if he didn't expect the boy in front of him to answer like this.

"Have you ever read a book?"

Fang Jingzhe said in his heart: Nine years of compulsory education, if you say it, you will be scared to death!
"Yes, I also wanted to obtain fame before, but my talent was not enough. My mother was seriously ill and owed to the famine, so..."

Fang Jingzhe regards Ah Fu's life as his own experience, divides the matter into nine sections, and what he tells is full of voice and emotion.

These days it is really uncommon for scholars to work as servants in brothels.

Those scholars are very noble, even if they are down-and-out on weekdays, they still have to choose customers to set up a calligraphy and painting stall on the street, let alone work in such a low-end place.

Wan Catcher couldn't help but glanced at Fang Jingzhe again, "You can let go of the airs of a scholar!"

Fang Jingzhe laughed dryly in his heart, and then put on a helpless expression.

"Miss Xia has an extraordinary status. Since she recommended you, and you are on this ship, then you will take the lead, and a certain family will be your deputy."

"How can that be!!!" Fang Jingzhe quickly refused.

This ten thousand head catcher can get the title of No. [-] god catcher in Jinling, certainly not an ordinary catcher. This kind of person usually has accurate intuition, and it is not because they find out that there is a problem with themselves that they retreat to advance, right?
However, Wan Butou patted Fang Jingzhe's shoulder and said, "Your Majesty attaches great importance to this matter. If you can save Miss Du's life if you do well, Mr. Nuan will definitely not treat you badly. When the time comes Wouldn't it be a thousand times better for you to be a scribe in the government office than a servant in Chunfeng Tower?"

There was less scrutiny in his tone and more sympathy.

Fang Jingzhe didn't understand the reason for the change in attitude of the headhunters, but it is a great joy for people of this era to be a small official in the government office, so he quickly put on a flattered look, and turned to He bowed to Wan Butou.

"Little one, I must assist Wan Butou in investigating the case."

"Hey—I said you are the leader, and a certain family is the deputy, so that's it." Wan Butou asked again: "Tell me, where do you plan to start the investigation?"

Fang Jingzhe saw that he couldn't refuse, so he simply accepted it. Anyway, as long as he can pass the customs, even if the Wan catcher finds out that there is something wrong with him, at worst, he will call him out.

In short, he must pass the level before the poison is released!

Thinking of this, Fang Jingzhe cupped his hands and said: "I think that all the oiran candidates and maidservants should go back to their rooms first, and have special personnel guard them, and then go to check the room of the deceased Babao."

Wan Butou nodded, obviously agreeing with his words, and then said: "Okay, I will do as you said."

……

Back in the hall, Fang Jingzhe discovered that the oiran candidates and the maids had all been sent back to their respective rooms.

So he brought Wan Tutou and a few followers to Babao's room.

Let the attendant move the door panel first, although he also took a look last night, but not to mention the distance, the light of the candle is very weak, even if there are any details, he can't see clearly.

It's just right to check it out while it's still early in the sky.

However, after Fang Jingzhe stood still at the door, he asked his followers to light seven or eight candles.

At the same time, he explained to Butou Wan: "After all, this is the bottom cabin. Even if it's not the bottom, the light won't be very good during the day. It's easier to find problems by lighting candles."

Boss Wan didn't speak, but just motioned him to continue.

At this moment, Babao's room still maintains the same appearance as yesterday.

First of all, Babao was lying on his back on the bed, the blood hole in his chest had stopped bleeding a long time ago, and the blood on it had turned black and coagulated.

Then there is a small wooden table next to the bed, and there are meals on the wooden table.

Judging by the amount of food left, the eight treasures should not be eaten much. The two steamed buns that are the staple food of daily life, one is still intact on the plate, and the other rolled to the ground, with marks of two bites on it.

You must know that steamed buns with white noodles, these servants and maids are not something that can be eaten casually on weekdays.

Even Fang Jingzhe, who is used to modern refined grains, still eats up two steamed buns every meal. He is really not used to coarse grains, beans and rice.

Therefore, no accidents, Babao should have been an accident while eating, otherwise, he definitely wouldn't just throw away the good food.
