Dali Temple Small Dining Room 2

Chapter 393 Whole Fish Feast ([-])
Although the moon has leaped to the sky, even in a capital city like Chang'an City, there are no pedestrians on many streets.

However, the area around the Zhaixing Building in Furong Garden was still brightly lit, and none of the shops facing the street were closed. The crowds in front of Furong Garden and Zhaixing Building seemed to have froze, and they still maintained the "lively" at the time of the incident.

Of course, this "lively" was just a last resort. The officers and soldiers with long knives stood there solemnly. When the guard of Liyang Princess was cut and injured earlier, the passers-by who watched the excitement knew that these officers and soldiers were not "smart". , Just talking, I dare not say more, I cooperated with the officials of Dali Temple to record the statement.

For most people, what they see is the same, or those who pass here or go in and out of the Furong Garden on the opposite side, and the fireworks are suddenly set off here in the Zhaixing Building, so they instinctively look here.

Some people focus on watching the fireworks and don't know until they fall downstairs; some people focus on watching the fireworks, but they are lucky enough to see the figure on the top floor when the fireworks rise into the sky.

"It seems that someone stretched out a hand and pushed it, and the figure turned back and turned out of the Star Picking Tower, and then..." The passers-by couldn't help but look at the corpse lying on the ground again, and turned their backs. The beard and hair of the boxer was white, obviously an old master who had been immersed in this way for many years, but at this time, he was examining the corpse like a novice at this time, while trembling uncontrollably.

Ordinarily, Dali Temple handles countless cases throughout the year, and Wu Bucai may have seen more corpses than people.But... Facing Zhao Mengzhuo's body at this time, Wu Bucai's hand still trembled uncontrollably, and the hand holding the knife grabbed the knife several times before he grabbed the knife in the box.

"Come on slowly." Bai Zhu went to Wu Bucai and squatted down, patted Wu Bucai's shoulder, looked at Zhao Mengzhuo's body in front of him, subconsciously lowered his eyes, and turned to the side, unable to bear to look more.

Gathering his mind, he said shyly, "Finding out the truth about your fall from the building is the key."

If the body of Zhao Mengzhuo who fell from the building is the physical evidence, the pedestrians all over the street are the witnesses.

Hearing Liu Yuan's questioning to the passers-by who saw this scene, Lin Fei walked to the side with A Bing and Tang Yuan, looked at Zhao Mengzhuo's corpse with a compassionate expression in front of Wen Mingtang, and said, "Listen to A Bing, Were you there at the time?"

Wen Mingtang nodded, and watched him say what he had written countless times in his stomach: "The fireworks lifted into the sky, illuminating the top floor of the Zhaixing Building extremely brightly, and I saw that there was indeed a hand pushing towards Mr. Zhao, and then Then I saw Mr. Zhao leaning back and turned out of the Star Picking Tower."

Wen Mingtang was not the only one who saw this scene, and no lies were allowed.

It's just that the suddenly lit firework light is on the other side. Although it is bright, it is not on the side where the group of people are. He was wearing a dark Confucian robe, and his body shape was not much different from his hair, so he looked up from the ground to the top of the building, except for seeing a few figures in the shadows and the movement at that moment, who pushed it? Zhao Mengzhuo, others can't see clearly what they are doing.

It's just that although they couldn't see clearly, the actions of those people who turned over Zhao Mengzhuo's body before were really a bit of a cover-up.

Looking at those who stood aside and cried "Brother Zhao", Tang Yuan pursed her lips and said in a voice that only a few people could hear: "The cat cries for the mouse!"

Tangyuan is not the only one who has this idea.When those people turned over the corpses earlier, no one stopped them. At this time, when they were summoned by the people of Dali Temple who came to question with officers and soldiers, the passers-by who had been on the sidelines were "neither sided". The whole scene was said.

"Well, not long after Mr. Zhao fell down the stairs and fell to the ground, a group of them walked out of the Star Picking Tower. The adults must also know that the guys in the Star Picking Tower are always very fierce, and they won't let me get close. But they acted as if they couldn't see the corpses from the group of them, but they stopped the guard who also surnamed Zhao who wanted to stop them from turning the corpses very tightly."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they couldn't help even if they wanted to. There were so many eyes all over the street, most of them were just watching the excitement and were frightened by the officers and soldiers brought by Dali Temple.

Therefore, such things cannot be concealed, so it is better to tell what you have seen.

Lin Fei nodded after hearing this, and then turned to look at the old servant who was wiping away tears.

Although these people had a lot to do with Zhaixinglou, but Zhao Mengzhuo had an appointment with someone today, and Zhao Mengzhuo would not forget to talk to the people around him because of his carefulness and caution as the minister of Dali Temple for many years.

The old servant who drove to pick up Zhao Mengzhuo today said with tears in his eyes: "Your Excellency is here to meet friends, and before going out, he specifically told Madam that he would save a meal, because he only had tea and a few snacks, and he reckoned that he would come back for dinner. "

While speaking, the old servant looked at Mrs. Zhao, who was surrounded by maidservants and wives, who passed out in the crowd, and couldn't hold back her tears.Mr. Zhao's children are not in Chang'an City for the past few days, they have gone out to see their relatives, so they don't know the news at this time.

Hearing the old servant's tears saying "I want to come back for dinner", Wen Mingtang and others not far away felt sore, and thinking of Lao Yuan who had an accident not long ago made his heart feel even more uncomfortable.

That bowl of rice is finally out of reach!

As for the friends at the tea party, the old servant looked at those who were also weeping, gritted his teeth, and said, "It's Mr. Chang and the others." several."

Lin Fei nodded, and then walked to a group of pedestrians who were specially assigned to one place by the guards, and asked, "Before and after the incident, you were waiting at the back door of the Zhaixing Building, but did you see anyone coming in or out?"

A few passers-by nodded and said, "That's true. The street behind the Zhaixing Building is also very lively. Many shop owners who didn't have much business at that time must have seen it."

So, in this way... it can be confirmed that if Zhao Mengzhuo's death was not an accident, the people who pushed him off the Star Picking Tower must be these people who were still in the Star Picking Tower after the incident.

Unfortunately, today, Zhaixing Building was occupied by these adults. Apart from the staff in the building, there were only these few guests, and these few people did not bring their personal servants when they talked. Otherwise, the old man Zhao Mengzhuo The servant will not be absent.

After Lin Fei deliberately "eliminated" all the other possibilities, he turned around and walked towards the few people who were wiping tears.

The pedestrians were all quite old, and the youngest among them, the one who yelled "Brother Zhao" was no more than two years younger than Zhao Mengzhuo.

This group of people is not only old, but also their official ranks. Among them, the surname of "Brother Zhao" is Chang, and he is now the minister of the Ministry of Industry. He is from the Chang family and the Lin family. Fei had seen this group of people more than once in the Yasukuni mansion.

Once this case is settled, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my grandfather to deal with it!Lin Fei sighed with emotion, but his steps were not slow at all, and he walked in front of several people in a blink of an eye.
