Dali Temple Small Dining Room 2

Chapter 297 Crispy Roasted Pork Belly (VIII)

The gate of the house was wide open, seeing Lin Fei and others coming, the guard who was standing there stepped forward and called "Lin Shaoqing".

Lin Fei nodded at them, stood outside the house and looked inside: the house is not big, you can see the situation inside from outside the door, and after entering the small square courtyard, there is a row of houses.The house is simple and clear at a glance.A main house, a fire kitchen, and a utility shed.

"I moved here five days ago. According to the people in the market, this person likes to make troubles everywhere when he goes to the market. He hasn't seen anyone since three days ago." The guard said.

According to Wu Bucai's autopsy results, Feng Tong was killed two days ago.If so, calculate what happened to Feng Tong. Less than two days after he moved in, he was taken away by the assailant, killed a day later, and then the body was separated and thrown into the slop bucket, with unknown intentions Without knowing it, Feng Tong disappeared.

"Looking at how the corpse was destroyed like this, the possibility of vendetta is not small," Liu Yuan thought for a while, and said, "This person also has the temperament to make enemies everywhere."

"It's hard to say!" Bai Zhu on the side shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "vendetta killings are often done to vent anger, and people die like lights out. In the cases handled by Dali Temple, the murderer who really hated the other party is often When the victim was alive, he tortured the other party when he was still alive, screaming and feeling the pain, so as to vent his anger."

This statement is not without reason.If not, why did Lu Zhi, the wife of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, easily get rid of Liu Bang's concubine Mrs. Qi after Liu Bang's death, but did not give Mrs. Qi a good time, but tortured her to death in every possible way?

"On the contrary, the purpose of destroying corpses and traces is mostly not vendetta, but to avoid being discovered." Bai Zhu said, glanced at Lin Fei who was at the side, and said, "If it wasn't for Lin Shaoqing yesterday, the contents of the slop bucket would have been buried Deal with it, this dead Feng Tongxing may never be found."

But it was discovered by accident...

"Today Feng Tong's remaining corpse was also found in the slop bucket, but it was not mixed in like yesterday, trying to confuse it, but was thrown on it at will, so that the people who came forward to throw sundries found it at a glance "Bai Zhu said, "In doing this, I obviously thought that sooner or later we would find out that Feng Tong was the owner of the corpse, so we simply sent the rest of the corpse back."

Such a majestic "send" to them a complete corpse is obviously not the murderer's kindness.

Liu Yuan thought for a while, and said: "The murderer's original plan should be to get rid of Feng Tong without anyone noticing it. Now that I think we will find out that Feng Tong is dead sooner or later, he should change his plan and simply send the body out. He took the initiative to reveal Feng Tong's identity. If he dared to do this, it seems that he is not afraid of me waiting to find Feng Tong..." At this point, Liu Yuan's face changed slightly, he opened his mouth, and subconsciously murmured, "The murderer is... ..."

"Of course the relationship between Feng Tong and them has been erased, so it's not easy to check." Bai Zhu took what Liu Yuan hadn't finished speaking, and followed Lin Fei's gaze to look at the house in front of him.

Lin Fei didn't speak, but walked into the house.

Since Feng Tong disappeared within two days after moving here, many of his luggage and belongings were kept in the cages and had not been taken out yet.

Except for some clothes for daily wear and washing and mattresses for sleeping, the rest of the things were thrown in the cage.

Bai Zhu walked to the sack where a pile of clothes, sweat towels and other things were thrown aside, picked up a few clothes from it, looked at them, and couldn't help but said: "The clothes are old and patched, and they should be worn as small clothes at the pier. I have to wear it during working hours." Having said this, he paused, picked up the sweat towel again, and when he saw the hole in the sweat towel, he thought for a while and said, "These should all be from Tong Feng. The things used when doing small jobs on the docks, thrown in the sack must be ready to be thrown away."

The life of dock workers is hard, which can be seen from Feng Tong's clothes in the past.Judging from Feng Tong's reaction after he gained power, he would definitely throw away all the dilapidated things in the past and replace them with things worthy of his "Feng Shiling" status.

Lin Fei nodded and glanced around. After Feng Tong moved in, he only tidied up the tables and chairs he was sitting on and the mattresses he was sleeping on. Touching the ashes on the empty shelf, she put her hands away, turned around and walked out the door.

Seeing the thick layer of dust, Bai Zhu in the house couldn't help but said: "This Feng Tong is either not clean, or he is a city magistrate. He is not going to clean the house himself, and he is going to hire someone to serve him."

This is no small expense!Liu Yuan nodded, and walked out together with Bai Zhu to follow Lin Fei.

Lin Fei went to the kitchen of the house. The kitchen was empty and there was no sign of a fire. Even the pot on the stove was covered in dust and showed no signs of being touched. The same was true for the utility room.

"It seems that Feng Tong just moved his things in to sleep." Bai Zhu touched the ashes on the kitchen countertop, and said, "Three meals a day, all eating out, the order of the city is really laid out." It's not small!"

"That's...it's a lot of expenses," Liu Yuan calculated, "The money for renting a house, his old clothes are all ready to be thrown away, and he needs to add the money for buying more clothes. These few things alone are worth it He got the monthly salary of the listing order for several years, where did he get the money?"

"That's right!" Bai Zhu nodded and said, "It's just that there are some small oily waters in the market. How many vendors are willing to spend money on him with his appearance of causing trouble? Fish out a flower Come, there is no such silver."

From this point of view, the banner of "Swallowing Gold and Nabao" pasted on the door is really a bit tricky.

Of course, you need to ask the owner of this house and find out how Feng Tong became the market order.

The owner of the house has never been seen, only the middleman who rented the house.

"The owner of the house is not in Chang'an City, so he hangs the house with me all the year round to help rent it," the middleman explained, "Although the location is good, the price of the house is not cheap, so it will be an empty house. Feng Shiling came to rent it This house has been vacant for half a year, and it was only rented a few days ago, with a one-year rent deposit." He said, and handed over the house lease contract signed by the two of them.

The procedures for the deed were all in accordance with the laws of the Great Rong. The deed and the extension of the land deed were all available. Seeing that Lin Fei was looking through it carefully, the middleman removed the money for this month's rent and returned the remaining money The yamen of Dali Temple can be regarded as "charging the public".

Originally thought that it was only three months' rent, but it was a full year's rent, and it was still a five-year lease of the house, which was considered to be a long-term stay.

After the middleman left the deed and the land deed and left, Liu Yuan couldn't help but said to Lin Fei who was flipping through the deeds: "Lin Shaoqing, let me figure it out, the money in Feng Tong's hands is at least a few hundred taels. , and I’m afraid that he still has a long-term pocketbook to afford him such a living.”

Bai Zhu who was on the side heard this, and nodded accordingly, and said: "He is just looking for fun after gaining power. From the beginning to the end, this Feng Tong doesn't mind the monthly salary of the city magistrate and the filial care of the peddlers. money."

In that case... the source of everything points directly to the three months before Feng Tong became powerful, so what happened to make the original dock porter not only swallow gold and nabao overnight, but also suddenly become a city magistrate? ?
