Chapter 373 The truth emerges
Ding Jiuxi looked at the shopkeeper who was still looking at the door, and didn't know what kind of feeling he felt, "Why do I think the shopkeeper's reaction is a bit strange!"

"Why is it strange?" Xuan Che also took a look, and didn't feel anything unusual, it should be said that it felt quite normal.

"I don't know, anyway, I just think it's a bit weird." Ding Jiuxi couldn't tell the specific feeling and details, but a feeling that lingered in his heart.

"Don't think too much, he also spoke for us during the day, probably because something like this suddenly happened in the inn, he must have panicked, after all, he is just a small boss, not a rich man , and dare not offend those officials." Xuan Che took a few more glances and felt that Ding Jiuxi was thinking too much.

Maybe Ding Jiuxi is too concerned about this matter, so now he looks at everything with an inquiring eye, then everything will naturally become another nature.

"Don't be like this, you're a bit of a stalker like this, it's not good, it's very bad for you to help the development of the case!" Xuan Che reminded Ding Jiuxi to get out of this psychological state.

"Really? Maybe I'm thinking too much, let's leave him alone, let's split up and see what's in this room!" Ding Jiuxi raised his eyebrows, but didn't give up on this matter.

However, the environment of the scene has been somewhat disrupted by the yamen servants who came in just now, and the most intuitive scene can no longer be found. This small place does not have such a strong awareness of the protection of the first scene.

"I heard that the people from the yamen didn't seem to take too many things with them when they left. They just took the corpse back for an autopsy." Ding Jiuxi looked around, and the furnishings here were very simple. It didn't take too much time to look carefully.

I always feel that these people are too careless and not rigorous when they do things, but it is understandable to think that these people are really conscientious enough, or that they only have so many models and abilities.

Although it was expected, I still feel that these people are a bit disappointing, "I think those who targeted us are sure that the government here is just a decoration, so they took three lives so recklessly."

"Don't jump to conclusions for the time being. Someone may not be targeting us. Although it seems that they are basically targeting us, it is also possible that a person like Brother Shan has enemies in the first place, and it may not be necessary to bump into him at this time. If this is the case, those people must be a person sitting in a corner while eating, he saw Brother Shan fell down, and realized that the time had come, so he killed him." Xuan Che gave his other differences opinion reference.

"That's right, vendetta killing, love killing, seeking money, seeking profit, and setting blame are all possible, we have to rule them out, but brother Shan is not from here, and his entourage is dead, he is a piece of iron and meat, there is no way to start !" Ding Jiuxi felt a little depressed when he thought about it, could things only evolve to the present situation?
"Let's go to Catcher Lin tomorrow, see the autopsy results, and see if he has any clues. These will definitely help us eliminate these problems." Xuan Che comforted Ding Jiuxi.

"Well, that's the only way to go." Ding Jiuxi replied casually, but his eyes were looking at everything around him, wanting to see if there was anything he had missed.

Sure enough, during the third round of inspections, Ding Jiuxi discovered a problem, that is the door lock, "Come here, you can see that the door lock has only been opened, and there is no sign of being pried open, it seems that the murderer He just walked in openly!" Saying this, Ding Jiuxi gritted his teeth in his inner monologue, didn't these yamen servants pay attention to such a big lock here?

If I want to count on this group of people to solve the case for me, I have to wait until the year of the monkey. Ding Jiuxi has realized that this matter can only be relied on by himself, and no one else can be relied on.

It's not too far from Kyoto, the longer you stay here, the more dangerous it is!

Xuan Che also came over, took the lock in his palm and examined it carefully, but found nothing special, "If it was opened naturally, then only someone with the key can do it!"

"The only person who has the key in the inn is the shopkeeper, Xiao Er, there is no more, but judging from their physiques, it seems that they can't beat the fist on the head of the dead!" Ding Jiuxi helped Xuan Che analyze.

Xuan Che also got in seriously, "Then it may be that someone stole the shopkeeper's key and came to open the door, but the shopkeeper seems to keep silent about this matter, if he did say it, it won't affect him much It would be better for him to solve the case earlier."

"Is it possible that the murderer stole the keys while the shopkeeper was asleep? After all, it is not so difficult for a martial artist to steal a few keys." Ding Jiuxi said another possibility.

Xuan Che nodded, "If this is the case, then the shopkeeper's ignorance can be justified, but if this is the case, the scope is still not narrowed. It can only be said that there are people who practice martial arts, not at all. Any use!"

At first I thought it was a breakthrough, but in the end, I still didn't find a flaw. Ding Jiuxi was a little discouraged, "Locking this is a suspicious point and a clue. I will talk to Lin Butou tomorrow. What I am most worried about now is actually the murderer." I don’t know how long it will take for Wu Zuo to commit the crime.”

"Their room is actually not far from ours, so we almost never left during this period. It is impossible for us to not notice the movement of killing a person. Assassination can cover your mouth, but it is impossible for there to be no movement at all. Afterwards, we went to the roof, left, and came back, the time when we left was the time when we were least sure." Xuan Che told Ding Jiuxi all the ideas in his heart.

"If it is during this period, then we will be cleared of our charges when the autopsy results come out, but I am afraid that the time of the autopsy results is not in this time period, then it will be more difficult for us to get out."

"Look, you also said that the murderer didn't target us. We are the only ones staying at the inn who know martial arts and can get the key from the shopkeeper. The time is also in line. If you say that you have to talk to Lin Butou tomorrow, I guess He will tie us up directly, I think we should not talk about it, and I didn't expect him to help us find out anything, so we might as well rely on ourselves!"

The more Ding Jiuxi talked, the more unreliable the yamen here was, it was simply a new existence, no matter whether it was discrimination, or the poisoning of modern advanced crime-solving methods, anyway, Ding Jiuxi had seen Lin Butou The team never counted on him to help them solve the case.

"Then don't say anything for the time being. In fact, according to what you said, if this matter is aimed at us, it is really not good for us. However, the biggest problem with killing lies in the motive. We can take this as the first Lin catches the head, because he probably can't find a suitable motive to put on top of our heads."

Xuan Che squatted by the bed door to answer, but his eyes were fixed on the clean bed!
"You two guest officers, you should come out. I'm going to lock the door. You've been inside for so long. I won't be able to explain to Catcher Lin. After all, this is the scene of a murder case. My back is always It's chilly, lock the door and feel at ease!"

The two of them were still checking, but the shopkeeper was already yelling at the door, as if he had just hit a ghost just now, and everything looked like nothing.

"Shopkeeper, we still want to see more, how about this? If you are afraid, you can put the key here. When we go out, we will lock the door and give you the key, okay?" Ding Jiuxi I didn't expect that the shopkeeper would come over to urge me in such a hurry.

She also thought that she could persuade the shopkeeper by saying something nice to him, but what she didn't expect was that he refused, and his tone was not as good as before, "You come out, you will block my store's fortune like this, This room is in the front, facing the door, so opening it will affect my business in the future, and I still count on this to support my family."

Ding Jiuxi was speechless. People at this time were so superstitious. Although she didn't believe it, she couldn't convince everyone to ignore it like him. She felt a little gnashing her teeth. Human life, a kind of contempt for people who only care about their own business.

Xuan Che looked at the shopkeeper like an ant on a hot pot, fidgeting, his eyes and actions drove the two of them away, and he could remember almost the same, and he didn't want to offend the shopkeeper now, even though he was not such a Easy to get along with!

"Let's go, let's go out, this is basically the way it is here, there is no need to look at it, and don't make things difficult for the shopkeeper!"

Although Ding Jiuxi was very dissatisfied and unconvinced, he still followed Xuan Che out. As soon as they stepped out, the shopkeeper strode up to lock the door.

At the same time, he kept thinking, "Go to heaven when you die, don't stay in the world, you died here, I will remember to burn paper money for you on the first and fifteenth day of the Qingming Festival!"

After tremblingly locking the lock, the shopkeeper almost left in a hurry, as if there was a ghost chasing him behind him, Ding Jiuxi was completely confused.

Is the shopkeeper really that scared?It's not that a person died. It is impossible for him to be someone who has not experienced death at his age.
