Martial Arts: The First Genius Doctor in Jianghu

Chapter 21 Among Us
Everyone in the room had subtle expressions on their faces, but no one else was as impulsive as Li Si.According to common sense, the loss of a huge sum of more than 30 taels of silver can be regarded as not a small matter, but at this time, compared with the murder case, it seems so insignificant.

Chen Ningyu quickly came back to his senses, stepped forward to separate the two and asked Zhao Yang, "How did you lose the money?"

Zhao Yang passed Chen Ningyu and glanced at Li Si in a little panic, before he said guiltyly: "I put the money bag and the letter together in the cabinet... just now... when I got the letter, I found that the money bag was lost."

Chen Ningyu asked again: "Have you ever left the room tonight?"

Zhao Yang said carefully: "I went to the toilet once."

Chen Ningyu walked over to the window sill, looked at the half-open window and said, "Don't panic, there may be a turning point in this matter, but the most urgent thing now is to find the murderer who killed Mrs. Fu."

Zhao Yang nodded repeatedly, and stuffed the letter into Chen Ningyu's hands.

So everyone gathered around to read the letter, but they looked at it carefully for a long time, but they still couldn't find any clues.

At this time, Su Chen said: "I remember something. When I heard the title of this ballad, I asked if it was related to love. That woman replied to me like 'Shrike, Swallow, how could it be love?' Let's look at it now." Only after this ballad did I realize that it really doesn’t look like love.”

Tie San also said: "But how does this have anything to do with the murder case? Judging from this ballad, it seems to be about revenge, but if it is revenge, how can a rich lady be connected with retreating and arresting the head? "

Everyone became more and more puzzled.

It wasn't until then that Chen Ningyu folded the letter and put it in his arms and said, "What you two said may make sense, but it's probably not the most important thing now."

"Then based on what the head catcher saw, what's important?" Zhao Yang asked curiously.

Chen Ningyu said: "Although the murderer killed and abandoned the corpse in the deserted house, you have forgotten that this inn is the only place in the area that can accommodate him. On such a thunderstorm night, the murderer is not an iron man. How can he sleep in the wild in the wilderness? ?”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's eyes were full of surprise and uncertainty, and they all looked at the faces of the others, and finally Zhao Yang said: "The head catcher must not be joking."

But I heard Chen Ningyu say again: "This statement is not just speculation. Think about it carefully, you came here because you were invited by someone, but why didn't the person who invited you show up?"

Naturally, everyone had nothing to say, only Tiesan said: "Based on the head catcher, the person who sent the letter is actually here, but hiding among us?"

Chen Ningyu nodded, and said, "It's a pity that few people in this inn are willing to tell the truth."

Everyone is silent.

At this time, the innkeeper Zhang Jinshan suddenly came in and said that he had made some hot tea on a rainy night and asked everyone to go downstairs to warm up.But when everyone sat down in the lobby, no one touched the tea, and even Zhao Yang wanted to reach for the cup but was stopped by Chen Ningyu.

Zhang Jinshan was embarrassed for a moment.

In the tense atmosphere, Su Chen laughed and said, "If Boss Zhang wanted to poison you and me, he would have already done it during dinner, so why wait until now?"

Said, picked up the cup and drank.

Everyone saw that he had been drinking tea for a long time without abnormalities, so they drank tea one after another to quench their thirst.

There were many people in the store, so they didn't care much about drinking tea, it was mostly cattle drink, but after a long time, Mrs. Li was urged to boil the water again.

Although Su Chen's words may not be credible, but as the only woman in the store who was free to move when the crime happened, everyone will naturally not be completely at ease with Mrs. Li.But after some careful observation, Li's hair and clothes were all dry and free of water stains, it really didn't look like he had been exposed to rain.

"Miss Boss, what's the matter with your shoes?" Just when everyone was a little relieved, Chen Ningyu suddenly asked.

Everyone was terrified, and then they followed Li Shi's shoes, only to find that the soles of a pair of shoes were wet.

"Concubine..." Mrs. Li stammered nervously as everyone stared at her and explained, "I accidentally spilled some water when I fetched water..."

Zhang San glared at her and asked forcefully, "Didn't it be true that you stepped on water at night?"

"No...it's not..." Li Shi argued.

At this time, Zhang Jinshan took a step forward to protect Li Shi behind him and said, "Of course she didn't go out. If she did, how could she have clean hair? What's more, I have to testify."

Zhang San sneered: "If it is said that you are a husband and wife black shop, you may not be sure..."

The atmosphere became anxious again for a moment.

Chen Ningyu said: "Okay, let's not argue anymore, if there is a quarrel, it will only let the murderer take advantage of the loophole."

Shen Hui said: "Chen Butou is right. The more it is like this, the more we should be united. As long as we get together, no matter how skilled the murderer is, we can't help it."

"That's right, that's right!" Zhao Yang nodded again and again, "The murderer didn't dare to do anything in the store, probably because he was afraid, as long as everyone stayed together, he would have nothing to take advantage of."

Su Chen said: "This is indeed a good idea. Everyone is in the lobby. I'm afraid we can live in peace tonight."

Although Zhang San and Li Si did not speak, the expressions on their faces agreed.

Chen Ningyu rushed to Zhang Jinshan and said, "Then trouble the shopkeeper's quilts to come to the lobby." Then he said to everyone, "We will supervise each other in groups of three, and if there is anything suspicious, we can also be vigilant."

Everyone says yes.

Chen Ningyu then ordered: "My apologies in advance, the shopkeeper's wife was suspected of having water on her shoes earlier, but Shen Daxia is very experienced, so Shen Daxia and the shopkeeper's husband and wife will form a team."

Although Zhang Jinshan and his wife were a little reluctant, after thinking about it, although Shen Hui was suspected, but Shen Hui was a well-known hero in the Jianghu, and being with him was considered a support, so they agreed.

Suddenly Su Chen said: "I will be a team with Chen Butou."

Chen Ningyu looked at him with a frown, and then heard Su Chen say in a low voice: "I know that Butou Chen has doubts about me. If he puts me elsewhere, he might be unsure. Why don't I let you rest assured."

Chen Ningyu was silent, Su Chen refused to explain the origin, and was at the scene of Fu Qiuqin's corpse. Although he said that a woman had seduced him, it was just his own words. He really wanted to keep him by his side for surveillance, but now the other party took the initiative to say it It made him a little uneasy.

But he quickly calmed down and said: "That's right, then you and Li Si will be in the same team."

Li Si frowned and said, "I have Zhang San with me."

Chen Ningyu said: "Both of you have martial arts, if you join forces, I'm afraid the third person will be helpless, so you have to separate."

Zhang San and Li Si looked at each other, then looked at the soft sword in Chen Ningyu's waist, and they still recognized it.

Let Zhang Santie, Zhao Yang, Xiaomei and Shen Hui's two followers form a group respectively.

Zhang Jinshan and his wife brought quilts for everyone to spread, and then everyone sat down in groups and looked at each other, and there was another silence.
