Chapter 177 A little bit of sadness (4)
The three men who had fought with Ruhua for [-] rounds last night consciously went downstairs to sit at Ruhua's table, picked up their chopsticks and started eating voraciously.

The other guests in the lobby of the inn all looked disgusted and disgusted. They quickly finished eating, went out to shop, and returned to their rooms.

An Zhu and An Wu took advantage of the time when Ru Hua went downstairs to eat, and put things into Ru Hua's room.

In the evening, Ruhua took the three of them back to the room, and was going to discuss how to sneak into the Lin family and catch Lin Chun, so as to threaten everyone in the Lin family.

As soon as the door was opened, Ruhua turned around and ran away in fright, shouting: "Killer, murderer..." When going downstairs, she twisted her foot and rolled down the stairs directly, her hair was messed up like a A madman.

"Quick, quick, go and see what happened!" All the guests in the inn put on their clothes and shoes, and came to Ruhua's room.

The three men who followed behind Ruhua also looked dull, their legs went limp from fright, and they collapsed at the door of the room.

In the room, two beggars were covered in blood, lying on Ruhua's bed, holding Ruhua's clothes in their hands, and a hairpin stuck in their chest, which was exactly what Ruhua wore on her head yesterday.

When the waiter and the shopkeeper heard Ruhua's shout, they were startled. The waiter helped Ruhua up when she fell on the ground, and the shopkeeper hurried up to the guest room on the second floor.

The guests who gathered around the door of Caixiang's room this morning once again gathered around the door of Ruhua's room.

"My God, when did these two beggars come in? They were..."

"That's right, I didn't see the woman in this room go downstairs all day, but just now I saw her and these three men sneaking into the house..."

"Didn't these three men be with him last night... Could it be these two beggars? You can see that the hairpin on the beggar's chest was worn by the woman when she went downstairs to eat last night. I remember it very clearly!"

"No way?!...This woman is so ruthless, wouldn't these two beggars also be her guests?!"

"Not necessarily, maybe it's because the woman didn't want to be with these two beggars... and she gave it to her..."

"It's possible...otherwise, why would he just die in this room, and these two beggars didn't see the inn come during the day? It's possible that Yeli came in last night!"

"Hiss...one woman and five men..."

The shopkeeper saw the situation in the room and heard the people around him talking, his legs were trembling, and he went downstairs tremblingly, and asked Xiao Er to go to Shi Wen quickly.

"It's really unlucky, the maid brought by the woman is a thief, this woman is a murderer, poor three-year-old child, lonely..."

"Hey, that's right! I didn't see that kid go downstairs to eat today except this morning, I don't know..."

"Is that child born to this woman? How can you treat your own child like this? It's unbearable!"

"Hey, I don't know if we can stay in this inn tonight! Everyone, go back and get your jewelry. If the county magistrate comes to seal the inn, we might all be locked up in a prison and interrogated for a few days! "

"Yes, yes, please pack up your things and leave...so as not to cause trouble!"

"You guys are really serious, what's there to be afraid of? The clear one clears himself up. This obvious murderer is right in front of his eyes. Why are you all so nervous..."

"That's right... we just need to wait for the adults to come and take the prisoner away!"

"that is……"

Shi Wen followed Xiaoer to the Huijiekou Inn again, saw the shopkeeper looking around at the door, stepped forward with a few strides, and asked about the situation.

"Shopkeeper, what's going on? I was just about to interrogate the female thief, and now I've received another murder case!"

"The old man also encountered a disaster, and there were accidents in the inn all day long. Alas, please go upstairs to check it yourself!" The shopkeeper wiped the sad tears from the corners of his eyes, and took Shi Wen up to the second floor.

An Zhu and An Wu followed behind, and they exchanged glances with Shi Wen and a few yamen guards behind him. Everyone nodded to each other, with smiles and amusement in their eyes.

Upstairs, the assistant brought by Shi Wen inspected the "bodies" of the two beggars, and began to report to Shi Wen, "These two probably died last night. He was strangled vigorously from behind with a ribbon."

The yamen servants were also looking for evidence at the scene, and everyone was careful not to miss any corner, "My lord, according to the situation at the scene, the prisoner should have had a dispute with the 'dead'. Look, my lord, the 'dead man' 'The piece of cloth held in the hand was obviously torn from the prisoner during the struggle."

"My lord, look over here. The folds at both ends of this silk ribbon seem to be formed by being held and pulled vigorously. There is also this hairpin with strands of hair on it. It is obvious that the prisoner pulled it out of his head in a hurry. I only put on the hairpin when I put it down!"

Shi Wen listened to one message after another, turned around and asked the shopkeeper: "Where are the guests living in this room?"

"My lord, the female guest officer who lives in this room was sitting by the stairs when you went upstairs just now, and Xiao Er is watching from downstairs!"

"What's going on with these three guys?!" Shi Wen thought of the very familiar woman he saw when he went upstairs, could it be that she was the one who talked about peace this morning? !

"My lord, these three men are friends with that woman, and they spent the Spring Festival together last night!" A guest staying at the inn next to him said loudly.

"Oh?!... Wu Zuo, you should clean up the two 'corpses' on the bed first, and have someone carry them back to the county government office. Liu Er, you guys go and bring the woman downstairs and these three men back to the county office. Yamen interrogation, shopkeeper, this room is temporarily sealed, don't clean it up and don't let anyone live in it!"

"Also make a copy of the list of customers who have lived in your store for the past two days, and I will ask you one by one later." Shi Wen quickly issued an order, and Liu Er and other yamen servants quickly covered the mouths of the three men, They were tied up and escorted downstairs.

The Ruhua downstairs is no different, but Ruhua must have been really frightened, trembling all the time, seeing the scene of blood dripping in front of her, muttering in her mouth, she doesn't know what nonsense she is talking about.

An Zhu and An Wu saw that Ruhua was being carried around, they stepped forward and patted the shoulders of the yamen servants behind, Shi Wen took the list given by the shopkeeper, and asked from room to room, everyone answered truthfully, not only about what happened last night, but also about what happened in the morning. The matter of the female thief was also made clear again.

Arriving at Caixiang's room in the morning, when he opened the door and saw that there was no one in the room, Shi Wen was a little surprised, didn't he say he still had a child?
An Zhu and An Wu also hurried upstairs, saw Shi Wen checking in Cai Xiang's room, they followed in.

"Master Shi, thank you for your help. An Wu will follow you back to the county office in a while, and the rest of the matter will be solved step by step by interrogation." An Zhu looked grateful to Shi Wen.
