Martial Arts: The First Genius Doctor in Jianghu

Chapter 18 Lively
Shen Hui had an impatient expression when he opened the door, but after seeing Chen Ningyu, he still put on a patient expression.

Chen Ningyu was not as aggressive as he was downstairs just now, and asked with a little respect in his tone: "Master Shen is also a well-known knight in the world, do you recognize Su Chen who was dressed as a nobleman in the lobby just now?"

Shen Hui frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "The old man has never heard of such a person in Jianghu. Why did Chen Butou ask this question?"

Chen Ningyu stared into Shen Hui's eyes and said, "His martial arts are outstanding, but I'm just a little curious."

Shen Hui said: "How to be outstanding?"

Chen Ningyu smiled and didn't answer, but asked again: "Just now I haven't asked Shen Daxia why he came here?"

Shen Hui also stared at Chen Ningyu, and answered after a while: "The old man just happened to pass by here and stayed because of the bad weather."

Chen Ningyu was noncommittal.

"Could it be that Butou Chen suspects that this old man is related to the death of Butou Xu Ting? You must know that this old man and Butou Xu are best friends." Shen Hui dissatisfied.

Chen Ningyu replied: "Hero Shen is well-known in the world, so naturally he can't be the murderer who murdered Butou Xu. The question I asked below is just a matter of routine. I hope the hero will not mind."

After listening to Chen Ningyu's explanation, Shen Hui didn't want to get angry again, so he just answered a few irrelevant questions such as whether the other people who came to the inn were suspicious, and then sent Chen Ningyu out of the room.

Chen Ningyu knocked on the door of Tianzi No. [-] room again.

After a while, a girl dressed as a maid came out to open the door. The girl had an ordinary appearance, but she had a gentle and harmonious temperament. At first glance, she felt comfortable and natural, which made people feel good.

The girl saluted Chen Ningyu first, and then asked, "I don't know what's going on?"

Chen Ningyu said: "Six gates are arresting and investigating the case. I have some questions to ask your master."

Before the girl could answer, she heard a woman's voice in the room say: "Xiaomei, please lead this head catcher in."

The maid named Xiaomei quickly replied: "Yes, ma'am."

After speaking, he led Chen Ningyu into the house.

When Chen Ningyu entered the room, he saw a woman in the room looking at him. Although the woman was over [-] years old, she still had picturesque eyebrows, a white face, demure and elegant, calm demeanor, and every move, with a soft and beautiful air , one cannot help but be fascinated by it.Wearing a green shirt, gently swaying with the night wind drifting in through the half-open window.The hair is combed into an exquisite and small bun, dotted with a few beads, making it even more elegant and refined.

Chen Ningyu said: "Chen Ningyu at the next six doors is ordered to investigate the case, and I hope Madam will help me."

The woman said: "I'm just a woman, how do I know how to solve a case? I'm afraid I can't help you much."

Chen Ningyu said: "Madam only needs to answer the next few questions."

The woman nodded.

Chen Ningyu said: "I haven't asked Madam's name yet."

"Fu Qiuqin."

Chen Ningyu asked again: "When will Madam check into this store?"

Fu Qiuqin thought for a while and said, "About this afternoon, it started to rain when I walked here, so I took advantage of the opportunity to stay."

Chen Ningyu thought for a while, and continued to ask: "So Madam just passed by here?"

Fu Qiuqin nodded and said, "Exactly."

Chen Ningyu asked again: "Then may I ask Madam, did you notice anything when you came to the store?"

Fu Qiuqin shook her head: "I'm a woman, and I rest in the room after entering the store, so naturally I don't notice anything."

After Chen Ningyu asked, he stood up and said goodbye, and only when he reached the door, he turned to Xiaomei and said, "Did your wife ever tell you why you were traveling?"

Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said: "Madam didn't say it clearly, she just decided to go out after receiving a letter."

Chen Ningyu didn't ask any more questions.

When he got out of Tianzi No. [-] room, he saw Su Chen, who had just had an unpleasant fight with him in the lobby downstairs, standing in the corridor.

Chen Ningyu took a deep look at him, turned around and was about to leave, but he didn't want Su Chen to open his mouth.

"This small inn has never been so lively."

Chen Ningyu stopped, turned to look at Su Chen and said, "It's better if it's lively, and the store can earn some money to live on."

Su Chen smiled.

Chen Ningyu looked at him with a frown and said, "What do you want to say?"

Su Chen said: "Of course you know what I'm talking about."

Chen Ningyu frowned even tighter.

Su Chen said again: "I'm just curious about Chen Butou's eyesight, how many people in this store are really passing by now?"

Chen Ningyu still didn't speak.

Su Chen said: "The head arrester seems to be very wary of me."

Chen Ningyu thought to himself that you have such high martial arts skills that you can hold my sword with just a pair of chopsticks, and you are the only one in the entire inn who deliberately concealed it. How can I not be wary of you?

Su Chen didn't get an answer, but he wasn't annoyed, he just continued walking into the room and said, "There are too many people invited."

Seeing Su Chen enter the room and close the door, Chen Ningyu relaxed a little.

Although he is wary of Su Chen, he also agrees with what the other party said. At least as far as he knows now, the scholar Zhao Yang and the noble son Su Chen were all invited to come here, and Fu Qiuqin is also very likely to be invited to come here by letter. , As for Shen Hui... Although Shen Hui didn't say anything, Chen Ningyu also felt that this person's appearance here might not be "passing by" as he said.And Zhang San, Li Si and Tie San, who obviously used fake names, can be seen at a glance as masters in the arena.Even Zhang Jinshan, who seems to be the most honest shopkeeper, and Mrs. Li, the proprietress, had no witnesses when the incident happened last night.

In this way, it seems that everyone in the store may be the murderer of Xu Ting.

While thinking, Chen Ningyu went downstairs.When he got to the lobby, only the stunned scholar was left.

Seeing Chen Ningyu come down, Zhao Yang quickly stood up and asked, "Captor Chen, have you ever found any clues?"

Looking at Zhao Yang's innocent expression, Chen Ningyu recalled the repayment he mentioned when explaining his intentions, and couldn't help thinking, is this person really pure, innocent and spotless, or is he just pretending?
But he still said kindly: "There is nothing to gain, everyone just happened to pass by here."

Zhao Yang's expression was obviously relieved: "That's fine, that's fine, as long as everyone in the shop is not a murderer, it will be fine."

Chen Ningyu suddenly had an idea, so he asked: "From your point of view, who in the store is most likely to be a villain?"

Zhao Yang seemed to be taken aback, he hesitated for a long time and couldn't speak.

Chen Ningyu looked at his expression and smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, I just asked casually."

"This..." Zhao Yang hesitated and said, "It's better if everyone is not the murderer."

Chen Ningyu said, "You hesitated just now, I'm afraid you didn't think so."

Zhao Yang said: "It's probably not a gentleman's behavior to talk about others behind their backs."

As he said that, he was about to stand up and run to the guest room, but Chen Ningyu grabbed his shoulders and couldn't move immediately.

"Chen Butou..." Zhao Yang's tone was pleading.

Chen Ningyu let go of his hands and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't harm you. Since you don't want to say the murderer, then don't say it."

Only then did Zhao Yang feel relieved.

Then I heard Chen Ningyu continue: "But I want you to lend me something."

Zhao Yang was curious: "What do you want to borrow for the head arrest?
Chen Ningyu said: "I want to borrow your letter."

Although Zhao Yang was puzzled, he took out the letter from his pocket and handed it over: "The arrester has to return it to me after reading it, so that I will have a proof when I see the sender."

Chen Ningyu wondered: "Since he didn't come, what proof do you need?"

But Zhao Yang said: "Maybe he was delayed on the way, maybe he will arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will wait here for him."

Chen Ningyu asked again: "What if you don't come all the time?"

Zhao Yang thought for a while and said, "Then I'll wait for him here for seven days. If no one comes after seven days, I'll hand over the extra silver and the letter to the shopkeeper, and write a letter to explain the situation before going home. I hope He should not blame me for using some money without authorization. If he is dissatisfied and insists on getting back the money, he can send another letter to my house, and I will be able to make up enough to pay him back in a few days."

Hearing this, Chen Ningyu didn't know how to answer for a while.

After Zhao Yang left, Chen Ningyu took out the letter and opened it again, looking at the ballad for a long time.
