Chapter 88 Drunk Flower Yin (12)

After returning to the town hall, Bu Ying poured out a bowl of wine from the wine jar, put it in front of the drunkard, and said, "Drink."

The drunkard's eyes widened in astonishment, and he looked at him for no reason.Bu Ying said with compassion: "Oh, I asked you to go to the winery to steal the wine, it's just for you to drink. Seeing you look like you have no wine, I feel bad too. Come on, drink the wine."

He spoke kindly, but the alcoholic listened with horror.Bu Ying glared at him, he hurriedly picked up the wine bowl and drank all the wine in one go, then put down the wine bowl and looked at us dully.Bu Ying didn't even look at him, but picked up the wine jar and walked out of the room with me without saying a word.

We went back to our room, took a nap, and then went back to the drunk to find him passed out.Bu Ying sat down on the chair, and then said in a drunken tone of surprise: "Heaven... Tianbao, why are you here?"

As he spoke, he glanced at me out of the corner of his eye, motioning for me to continue talking.I had no choice but to pretend Tianbao's tone and said, "Second Miss told me to rescue you. Hurry up, go while they're not here."

As I was talking, Bu Ying came and pulled me over and pushed the window open, making noise all the way, and jumped on the spot, pretending to jump down from the window sill.Then we ran in place together, pretending to run outside.All of this looks so ridiculous, if someone sees our actions at this moment, they will probably think that we have lost our minds.

After running for a while, Bu Ying suddenly yelled: "Stop! You two, stop for me!" Then he pushed and shoved me.I didn't expect that he still had this hand, so I had to roll around on the ground with him, making the sound of wrestling.After all this was done, we waited in the room for the alcoholic to wake up.

He still didn't wake up after waiting for a long time, so Bu Ying became impatient, went out and brought in a basin of water, and splashed it all on the drunkard's face.The drunkard shuddered and yelled in horror before waking up.Seeing that he was awake, Bu Ying stepped forward and twisted his arm, and asked sharply, "Tianbao came to the town hall to rescue you, what about others?"

The drunkard looked at us dumbfounded and asked, "When did Tianbao come?"

As soon as he said that, Bu Ying and I felt that something was wrong.As Bu Ying said before, I didn't kill someone but felt like I did, and Mao Hong didn't speak to the drunkard, but the drunkard had an illusion.We originally thought that the commonality of these two incidents was related to the ghost in the wolf den, but when we thought about it carefully, the commonality of these two incidents was actually that we both drank alcohol.

I went to the winery after drinking in the hotel, and the drunkard secretly drank in the Maohong room.Both Bu Ying and I believed that wine was the key to these two matters, so we asked the drunkard to go to the winery again and stole the jar of wine from the Maohong room, wanting to prove it to the drunkard again.

But who knew that the alcoholic didn't feel a sense of substitution after drinking.Feeling very strange, I asked the alcoholic, "You didn't know that Tianbao had been here?"

"When did Tianbao come here?" The alcoholic looked at me, "I only heard you two talking, one pretending to be me and the other pretending to be Tianbao."

Bu Ying and I looked at each other, and Bu Ying wondered: "All of this has nothing to do with wine, are we all wrong?"

"Not necessarily." I said suddenly, and turned to the drunk again, "Did you hear what we said?"

The drunkard nodded.I said again: "But, didn't you pass out drunk?"

"I don't know either," the drunkard said blankly, "I also know that I'm drunk, but——I heard your conversation clearly."

"So, there is still a problem with this wine, but for some reason, it suddenly doesn't give people a sense of substitution." I said to Bu Ying.

"Isn't this the jar of wine he drank before?" Bu Ying asked the drunkard, "Is this wine really stolen from the second lady's room?"

The drunkard nodded affirmatively.We didn't know what went wrong for a while, so we went back to our room, then I pondered for a while, and was about to pour a bowl of wine from the wine jar and try again, but Bu Ying stopped me, not waiting for me to say anything He pulled the mayor in from the outside.

Since Bu Ying came, because he is a "big man" in the Provincial Police Department, the mayor no longer intervenes in the investigation of the owner's murder, but just cooperates with him.At this moment, he was pulled into the room by Bu Ying, and just as he was about to ask him what he needed to do, Bu Ying poured a bowl of wine from the wine jar, stuffed it into his hand and said, "I've been bothering the mayor here these days, So I specially bought a jar of wine to thank you, please don't refuse the mayor."

It was a little strange that he would invite people to drink as a token of gratitude, but neither invited them to a table nor served them.The mayor gave him a strange look, but he saw Bu Ying looking back at him with extremely sincere eyes, which seemed a bit eager.The mayor couldn't refuse, so he glanced at me, and then drank the wine in his hand.

Speaking of which, the mayor has treated us well in the past few days, but we use him to verify whether there is any problem with the wine, which is a bit of revenge.I felt a little fever on my face when he saw it, so I coughed lightly and turned my face away, not looking at him.After the mayor drank the wine, he thought that Bu Ying would fill him up again, so he passed the wine bowl forward.

Unexpectedly, Bu Ying looked at him directly, without any such meaning at all.Two red clouds flew up on the mayor's face, and he put the wine bowl back nonchalantly, the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.None of us spoke, the three of them stared and admired each other's dignity enough, the mayor coughed and said: "I have nothing to do, I will go out first."

Bu Ying said hospitablely: "Ah? Don't you want to sleep here for a while?" As he spoke, he still stared at him with eyes like a weasel.

The mayor was frightened out of his wits by his words, and hurriedly put down the wine bowl in his hand and said, "No, no, I have to leave first." Then he straightened his back and rushed out of the room, fearing that he would die if he was too late. Will be poisoned by Bu Ying.

Both Bu Ying and I went to the door to watch him leave. When we saw him walk outside the room where the alcoholic was held, his feet suddenly went limp and he fell to the ground. We ran over immediately and helped him up against the door.Then Bu Ying stood up, made a silent gesture to the alcoholic in the room, and then said in a scolding tone: "I have been the mayor of the town for so many years, and I have never seen such a heartless and ungrateful person like you. You killed Yindi, just wait to pay for her life!"

Then, he slapped the door hard again, and shouted: "You... how did you open the door? Come on, come on, the drunkard has escaped... Hurry up, ah! You...you dare to kill me !"

As he spoke, he stabbed the mayor a few times with his hands, and then trotted on the spot, pretending that the drunkard had slipped away.He performed very well by himself, and the "Ah" was also very vivid. After hearing the sound, several village braves in the town hall came and saw him dancing there alone, and the mayor fell to the ground again. I thought he was a ghost, and almost came over and pushed him down.

I hurriedly stopped them, and Bu Ying also signaled that the mayor was fine.The townspeople were skeptical, but because they didn't have to worry about him running away, they just stood there and watched.Bu Ying finished the whole set by himself, and couldn't directly pour water on the mayor like he did to the drunkard, so he sat down on the ground and waited for the mayor to wake up.

The few Xiangyongs approached to check on the mayor, and saw that he was full of alcohol, just fell asleep, and there was nothing serious, so they were relieved.Taking advantage of this time, Bu Ying and I once again exchanged ideas about the death of the owner, and decided to stay in the shop after the mayor woke up.

It was getting late, and a few village braves lit up lanterns and brought us some food.The mayor didn't drink much, so he woke up after we finished our dinner. As soon as he woke up, he jumped up from the ground, touched himself all over, and said dumbfounded: "The drunkard ran away, he...he killed Me, why don't I have wounds on my body?"

As soon as he said that, Bu Ying and I immediately became excited. The mayor had a sense of substitution for Bu Ying's words just now, which showed that the problem was indeed with the alcohol, but why didn't the drunkard have the illusion just now?

"I have a feeling," Bu Ying said after a moment of hesitation, "This wine has the effect of giving people a sense of substitution. Will it only be effective for people who drink it for the first time?"

When he said that, I also felt a sense of enlightenment. "That's right. Perhaps it can be said that it will only work on unsuspecting people, because the alcoholic has drunk this wine once and subconsciously thinks that drinking will produce an illusion, so this wine has no effect on him."

"Anyway, you've found the root cause of your illusion of murder." Bu Ying's eyes sparkled in the night, "Then it's time to find the real murderer!"

"Have you found the murderer of the village owner?" The mayor was shocked, "Who is it?"

I told him about the efficacy of this wine, the mayor experienced it himself, and the Xiangyong next to him testified, so I believed it very quickly, and said in amazement: "This must be brewed by the second lady. Yes, she is extremely talented in brewing wine, and it is unbelievable that she can brew this kind of wine!"

Both Bu Ying and I thought it was true, and told the mayor that we were going to stay in the hotel. The mayor said in surprise: "The murderer who killed the owner is staying in the hotel?" He immediately reacted, "This Alcohol can give people illusions, but the husband drank it in the hotel, so the people in the hotel must have set him up."

"That's right," I figured it all out, and I felt relieved immediately, and I smiled, "These days most people in the winery have been out to deliver wine, and there is no business in the winery. I went. And I also found a few chopped green onions under the owner’s desk—the shop owner used to hide some chopped green onions in the palm of his hand, and let the guests decide whether they want it or not. I thought I dropped those chopped green onions, but now that I think about it, It turned out not to be."

The mayor said angrily: "It turns out that the owner of the shop was the murderer! No wonder, he just bought this shop."

Hearing what the mayor said, we became more and more sure that the murderer was the owner of the shop.Bu Ying and I were going to stay in the store to look for him, and the mayor also went with us, so Bu Ying asked him to follow, and he and I went to test first, so that the owner of the store would show his feet.The mayor agreed, and immediately brought a few townspeople to set off with us.

When we arrived at the door of the hotel, I discussed with Bu Ying how to word it, and then rushed into the hotel together with him.The owner of the shop was cleaning the table. He was startled when he saw us rushing in. Just as he was about to speak, Bu Ying breathlessly said, "Quick...go to the winery, Tianbao...Tianbao was killed!"

The owner of the shop slowly turned his head to look at us, and said strangely: "Tianbao was killed, you should go to the town office to report to the police, why did you come to me instead?"

He was unmoved.Bu Ying was also taken aback, and asked, "You don't care about his life?"

"Why don't you care? He still owes me two bowls of noodles." The shopkeeper sighed, then turned his head and slowly wiped the table, "Forget it, the debt is gone, even though I'm a small business, I don't care about it." Two bowls of noodles."

He was really too calm, which was far beyond our expectations.Bu Ying and I looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while, the shop owner ignored us, just wiped the table clean and asked us: "Do you two want to eat?"

I shook my head, but Bu Ying said, "Would you like to treat us to Bandao noodles or Wonton noodles?"

This is a black saying in "Water Margin".The shopkeeper said with a smile: "You two are joking, I only have shredded pork noodles with green vegetables."

Bu Ying couldn't hold back, sat down on a chair, and said: "Let's open the skylight and tell the truth, the owner was killed by you."

"No, you killed it." The owner of the store said calmly, not in a hurry.

It's surprising to us that he's going back on his feet.Bu Ying wondered, "Why did I kill it?"

"I don't know." The store owner smiled, "I see you talking nonsense, so I also joked with you."
