The Story of a Nongmen Girl Chasing Her Husband

Chapter 101 The Small Town Theft
"Miss is sick, our baggage is gone!" Xiaodie shouted to Jing Si who was still sleeping,
Jing Si felt a "thump" in her heart, and hurriedly got up and asked Xiaodie: "What's going on?"

But it turned out that the two stopped and went and came to the only inn in this small town. Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them decided to stay here for one night and continue their journey tomorrow.
This small town is originally located at the junction of the two cities. Although it is not big, it is mainly used to receive businessmen, and it has developed very well.

The shop looked clean, the waiter was also very enthusiastic, and Jing Si also knew not to be too ostentatious when going out, so they just ordered two bowls of noodles in clear soup and asked for a room where the two of them slept together.
Logically speaking, Jing Si should be vigilant, and she never thought that she would sleep so deeply, knocking on her head that still had a little headache, it seems that yesterday was probably drugged, Xiao Die woke up It was a little earlier than her, but it was just getting up, so I touched the bundle, and was shocked when I touched it, the bundle disappeared!
This is how the scene in the morning came about.

Jing Si got up and put on her clothes and said to Xiao Die: "Come on, let's go out first to see if it is only our room that lost things, or all the guests lost things."

When the two went downstairs, they saw that Xiaoer and the shopkeeper had already been surrounded by guests. It turned out that they were not the only ones who had lost their things. They stayed at this inn last night, and all the luggage of the guests disappeared.
"We live here with you, and our things are gone, so you are naturally responsible!"

"That's right, hand over the things quickly, I think your place is a black shop!"

Dissatisfied voices came one after another, and the shopkeeper also had a hesitant expression on his face: "Guests, don't be impatient, I have already asked Xiaoer to report to the police, and the police will come over soon, let's explain the matter to them clearly , It’s not just your things that are missing. Even the cash box that the station’s inn put here is gone, don’t worry, we will definitely take responsibility!”

Looking at this scene with a frown, Jing Si felt that there was no better way to do it, so he had to wait for the official to come to the door. At the same time, he also remembered the silver taels in the hidden compartment of the carriage. It was he and Xiaodie who put some close-fitting white silver bills in the undershirt, the big silver in the dark compartment of the carriage, and only a little in the bag. When they woke up in the morning, they found that the silver bills were still there. , now she just wants to see if the silver in the dark compartment of the carriage is still there?
While thinking about it, five yamen servants and a county magistrate came over, "Everyone is quiet, everyone is quiet, Mr. Zhao is here,"

"Everyone, I am Zhao Yiwei, the magistrate of this county. If you have anything to say, you can talk to me slowly," Mr. Zhao said,
"My lord, our money is gone just after waking up in the morning." A guest said,
"Yes, my lord, you have to decide for me. I'm just passing by here, and I have to go to a far away place. There is no trouble, how will I go!" Another humanely said,
"Do you think you are the only one who needs to go far away?"

"It's my lord, I suspect that this shop is a black shop, and the shopkeeper will pay us money!"

Everyone, you talk to each other, the more you talk, the more excited you are,
"Quiet, all quiet," shouted the yamen servant,
Everyone quieted down, Master Zhao said to everyone: "Now let me ask you one by one, and you are not allowed to tell lies. I want to judge when you lost your money based on your answers. Perhaps with the information you provide Among them, there are some useful information that can allow us to quickly find the thief."

"Okay." Everyone said,

Jing Si sat down with other guests and waited for interrogation. Jing Si took a closer look and found that there were five households in total. Besides her, the other four were: a couple, a father and son, three scholars and a big man.

"Shopkeeper, when does your store close?" Master Zhao asked,

"We close the door at midnight every day. Apart from the customers who are on their way, there are also some drinking guests. We only close the door after they leave." The shopkeeper said,

"How many tables were there for drinking last night?" Mr. Zhao asked,

"It wasn't much yesterday, and there was only one table yesterday. It was Mr. Liu and three friends." The shopkeeper said. He said that Mr. Liu was a wealthy businessman in this county. Logically speaking, his suspicion should be the least. After all, he is from this county, and he is very rich, so he doesn't need to invest other people's money at all.The most important thing is that he had been drinking in the lobby last night and never left, and his three friends didn't leave either.The three or four of them are all the fat ones. Their bodies are not very flexible, and they are overweight. They will make loud noises when they walk, and they are unlikely to run to the inn.After stealing the money, he ran down quickly.Basically it can be ruled out.

"Xiaoer, have you and the shopkeeper been downstairs watching this table of guests last night?" Mr. Zhao continued to ask,

"It's the little one who has been downstairs, and so is the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper didn't come home until Mr. Liu finished paying the bill this week. The little one closed the door." Xiaoer said,

"Then when you closed the door, did you notice anything strange?"

"Not this one." Xiao Er said,

"What did you do after closing the door?" Mr. Zhao asked,
"The little one naturally made a bunk and slept in the main room." Xiao Er said,

"Then did you hear anything else?"

"The little one was tired all day and slept soundly, so I didn't hear it." Xiao Er replied,
Master Zhao nodded, and then began to ask the five guests from Jingsi,

"When did you all find out that something was missing?"

"We found it when we got up this morning." The answers were basically the same.

"Then did you check your bags last night when you fell asleep?" Mr. Zhao continued to ask,
"Of course, the burden is placed in the room, where it can be seen on the bed." Everyone's answer is basically the same. When going out, they all carefully put the burden on the bed.
"Okay, what did you lose? Tell these dentists separately, they will make a record, and then we will search for the thief as soon as possible, and try to find what you lost and return it to you. During this period Don't leave here in case we can't find anyone." Mr. Zhao said,
"Of course, we are all passing by here, we are not locals, we still have to hurry, but there is no delay!" said the third scholar,

"Yes, yes, my lord, it doesn't matter that we live here!" Someone agreed,
"So far, the officer doesn't have any ideas or clear clues about this thief. So it may take a long time to solve the case. If you can't wait, then you can leave your stable address and wait until later The thief was caught. We will return the money to you according to the address." Mr. Zhao said,
Everyone was silent, and that was all they could do.
