Chapter 14 Visiting the Morgue

In the city of Huju, there is a restaurant in the clouds.

The news of the poisoning of the proprietress made the business sluggish.In the past, there were many customers, but now there are no customers.People took a detour, as if it wasn't the proprietress who was poisoned, but themselves.

The guy shouted hard, but it didn't work at all.Finally, he sat weakly in front of the door, looking at passers-by with his chin resting on his hands.

The three men in black came straight to Yunzhong Restaurant and stood at the door. The waiter finally confirmed that these three were customers, and jumped up to greet them: "Are the three guests staying at the restaurant or dining? Please come inside!" Two guys came out and took the horses to the backyard to feed them.

"Three guest rooms!"

The three settled in the guest room on the second floor, but seeing that there were no diners downstairs, they went out to the street.

People of all kinds are mixed in Huju City. There are restaurants, teahouses, and iron shops, and the casino business is very lively.

The three of them stopped in front of a hotel. The family was buzzing, and the smell of wine and food could be smelled from afar.Looking up, there is a big book on the plaque on the second floor: Tianxiang Pavilion.

A lively place is where news circulates fastest.

The three of them were brought to the second floor near the stairs by the maid in red. The view here is excellent, with a panoramic view of the second floor and the first floor.

What people are eagerly talking about is still the former unknown corpse on the street.

"Have you heard? Master Ziche has asked people to go door-to-door. The identity of the deceased has not yet been found." A fat man at the next table was talking in a low voice to the person at the same table.

"This is a conspiracy, and it is the Vientiane Kingdom who wants to start a war."

"It's rare to live in peace for more than ten years, so don't start a war!"

"A beggar who doesn't even have a name, who dies as soon as he dies, how could it cause a war?" A voice from a table near the window caught the attention of the three of them.

After the leading man signaled, Jian called for a waitress, who brought two jugs of good wine to the table by the window.He also took the wine glass to the window.

Without waiting for the man on the table to speak, he listened to Jian Xian and respected the man sitting in the chair: "The three of us are brothers. We are new to Baodi and plan to do a small business. I heard that there is going to be a war. I am planning to leave and find another place. I just heard that Brother said that the deceased was just a beggar, I want to ask, but is it true?"

The man in the chair was polite to the visitor, and even gave away the best Zui Taibai from Tianxianglou.Stand up, please listen to the sword sit down.Looking around, Fang lowered his voice and said, "It's absolutely true! I know this beggar."

Ting Jian was surprised and said: "Elder Brother, it seems that he was born in a wealthy family, how could he know a beggar on the street?"

The man continued: "It's a coincidence that on a rainy day, I fell near the west gate of the city, and the money bag fell on the ground. The beggar saw it and picked up the money bag and returned it to me. There are often beggars who have money. It’s rare to see beggars who don’t pick them up!” The man had an admiring expression on his face.

Ting Jian and the other two on the table nodded in agreement.

"I was grateful at the time, so I took out a tael of silver to thank him. When he reached out to take it, I saw a red birthmark on his wrist."

Ting Jian and the other two continued to make even bigger surprises.

"That day Master Che asked me to do an autopsy, and I saw it when I turned over the body. There was a red birthmark on the deceased's wrist."

The man shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, even though he is a beggar, he is also a man of integrity."

"This is important information. Why didn't the elder brother tell the government? Maybe the case can be solved as soon as possible!" Ting Jian continued to probe.

"One thing more is worse than one thing less. Didn't you see that the governors and guards of the Three Kingdoms are all robbing this corpse? Ordinary people, don't get involved, so as not to cause trouble."

Listening to the sword and toasting the man: "I have been taught, thank you for your advice!"

Back at the table, explain to Qi Zhao and Master Bai Yi that the three of them left Tianxianglou after eating.

The three of them didn't return to Yunzhong Restaurant, they turned across the main road, listened to the sword and rushed to the west gate, while Qi Zhao and Master Bai Yi went to the White Rhinoceros Governor's Mansion.

The Governor's Mansion is on a somewhat deserted street, with only a few scattered households.Qi Zhao went to the door and handed over his waist card, and the guard trotted in all the way to pass the pass. After a while, Zi Che rushed over to welcome the two of them in person.

"My lord came to visit unexpectedly, but what is General Qi's order?" Zi Che Bingfa asked before he could sit still.

"General Qi asked how the case of the unknown corpse is progressing?" Qi Zhao said unhurriedly.

Uncle Bai Yi leisurely sipped the tea brought by the warrior.

"The lower officials are doing their best to investigate, and there is no progress yet!" Zi Che said with a little confidence.

"The tea in the Governor's Mansion is not good at all!" Master Bai Yi put down his teacup, took out a preserved fruit from his sleeve, put it in his mouth and began to chew.

Zi Che has never paid attention to the man in black, and only regarded him as Qi Zhao's follower.After all, Qi Zhao is his old boss—the son of the lord of Qiyue City, so it is normal to bring a few guards.

At this moment, a word that didn't give him any face suddenly came out, and Zi Che couldn't help but look at the man.With a bright face and shining eyes like stars in the night sky, even the man looked at him and secretly admired: there are still such beautiful men in the world.Seriously, Pan An is alive again!

"I wonder who you are?" Zi Che asked cautiously.

Qi Zhaofu finished whispering in Zi Che's ear, Zi Che saluted hurriedly, but was stopped by Master Bai Yi, "You don't need to be too polite, just call me Qi Fei."

Qi Zhao nodded at Zi Che, signaling him to follow suit.

"Take us to the morgue and have a look at the corpse." Qi Fei revealed the real purpose of this visit.

Led by Zi Che, several people came outside the morgue.As soon as he arrived at the door, there was a black shadow rushing out from the door, and he jumped up to the roof.

"Bold, where do you escape!" Qi Zhao had already reacted in the light of the calcium carbide fire, shouted loudly, jumped onto the roof, and chased after the black shadow.

"Come on, chase the assassin!" Ziche Bingfa was a little annoyed. In broad daylight, someone broke into the morgue of the superintendent guard, but he was not found.This is gross dereliction of duty!
More than a dozen warriors chased after the sound.Qi Fei wanted to stop him, but seeing that the person had disappeared, he had no choice but to give up.Quickly walked into the morgue.

The morgue is not big, with a dead body covered by a white cloth on the huge mortuary table in the middle.Beside the mortuary table was a desk with several inspection reports scattered on it.

Qi Fei carefully lifted the white cloth and checked it.

Wu Zuo hurried over, and Zi Che showed him if there was anything unusual.

Wu Zuo saw the mess on the table at a glance, and hurriedly picked them up one by one to check them one by one. After reading them, he panicked and said, "Master, there is no portrait of the deceased."

Zi Che felt strange, the thief just came to steal a portrait? What's the use?Who is the thief?

It seems that the case must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise more incidents may arise.

Qi Fei had just seen that there was indeed a red birthmark on the right wrist of the deceased.It seems that what the man in Tianxiang Tower said was at least half right.The rest needs to wait for Tingjian's investigation results.

　The little detectives are on the move
