I don't know how long it took, Lu Dashi and the others had already eaten and were sitting there chatting, when they suddenly heard the door of the hall being pushed open, and a cool breeze blew in through the crack in the door.

The first was a middle-aged man in a black coat, and as soon as he entered the door, he stomped his foot vigorously, shaking off the snow on his boots.

"Damn it, there's no end to the snow!"

Immediately behind the middle-aged man, four more men in fast clothes walked in.

"Han Zhutou, why don't you drag the big one first, and let them roast it for you first, so as not to be wet and uncomfortable."

After these five people entered the door, Zhang Laosan also hurriedly walked into the hall, he didn't care about the snow on his body, so he hurriedly said to Han Zhutou in the lead.

"Han Zhutou, the location of the accident is in the backyard, why don't I take you over to see it now?"

When Han Zhutou heard this, he ignored him, turned his head directly to look at the side of the counter, and asked in a deep voice.

"Who is the shopkeeper, stand up and speak!"

Seeing that it was someone from the yamen who came, Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly walked out from behind the counter and hugged his fist at Han Zhutou.

"Old decay, it's the shopkeeper of this inn."

Hearing this, Han Zhutou nodded, and said loudly, "You go and inform me, now all people are not allowed to enter or leave." ”

At this point, Han Zhutou's tone paused before continuing, "If anyone disobeys, they will be questioned as accomplices!" ”

The shopkeeper Wang hurriedly answered, turned his head and commanded a few men beside him.

Seeing this, Han Zhutou waved his hand to Zhang Laosan behind him, "Let's go, let's go and see the scene." ”

When Zhang Laosan heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and led Han Zhutou and the others towards the backyard.

Seeing Han Zhutou and the others go out the back door, Han Cheng, who was sitting next to Lu Dashi, suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Lu Zhutou, don't you go and take a look?" ”

Lu Dashi shook his head with a wry smile, "This is Huainan County, we are only here to do something, and it is not our turn to deal with the case." ”

After hearing Lu Dashi's words, Han Cheng said with a smile, "I thought that I could see Lu Zhutou show his might, it seems that it will not work!" ”

When Lu Dashi heard this, he just smiled, then picked up the tea on the table and drank it slowly.

The rooms arranged for Lu Dashi in the inn were the 9th and 10th rooms, and Lu Dashi originally wanted to go back to rest, but he thought of the long footprints, so he gave up this plan.

If he went to the 9th and 10th rooms to rest, he would definitely destroy that footprint and affect Han Zhutou to solve the case, so he decided to endure it and wait for Han Zhutou to finish exploring the terrain, and then he would go back to rest.

I don't know how long it took, Lu Dashi had already drunk two cups of tea in a row, but there was still no movement in the backyard, and just when he was waiting a little impatiently, the door of the backyard was finally pushed open.

Han Zhu led two catchers and walked in from outside the door.

Han Zhutou came to a table by the brazier, sat down slowly, turned his head to look at the shopkeeper, and beckoned, "Shopkeeper Wang, come here!" ”

When the shopkeeper Wang heard this, he hurriedly walked over, hugged his fists and asked, "Han Zhutou, is there something to do with the old decay?" ”

Han Zhutou nodded, "Before this, who had ever been to the shed behind the livestock?" ”

Hearing Han Zhutou's words, Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly turned his head to look, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at a guy, "Wang Changhe, I remember that you have been there." ”

After Wang Changhe heard the shopkeeper's words, he hurriedly walked to Han Zhutou, bowed down and said, "People have indeed been to the livestock shed. ”

Hearing this, Han Zhutou nodded, and asked in a deep voice, "When is it?" ”

Wang Changhe thought for a while, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the side of the big stone and replied, "At that time, this guest came to the inn, and the person led his carriage to the backyard, and the time was ....... ”

At this point, Wang Changhe's tone paused, he thought about it carefully before continuing, "About half an hour ago. ”

Han Zhutou nodded and continued to ask, "In this way, the row of footprints left in front of the door of the guest room is what you left behind?" ”

Wang Changhe thought for a while, and then nodded, "People went to the backyard from the alley outside, and when they came back, they came directly from the backyard to the front, and the row of footprints should have been left by people." ”

After hearing Wang Changhe's answer, Han Zhutou pondered for a moment before slowly asking, "When you came back, you should have passed by Zhang Gongzi's room, at that time, did you hear any sound?" ”

Wang Changhe shook his head, "No, I didn't hear any sound!" ”

After hearing Wang Changhe's words, Han Zhutou's eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted, "Wang Changhe, your footprints are very close to the room, why can't you hear any sound at all, I think you are lying, right?" ”

Hearing Han Zhutou's question, Wang Changhe hurriedly waved his hand and replied, "Han Zhutou, it's not like this, when people walk back, the snow under their feet will make a sound every time they take a step, and the wind and snow outside are relatively heavy, so people don't hear any sound." ”

Hearing Wang Changhe's explanation, Han Zhutou's eyes narrowed slightly, and after thinking carefully for a moment, he nodded, and then turned his head to look at the shopkeeper Wang, and asked slowly.

"Shopkeeper Wang, what kind of guests live in the backyard?"

When the shopkeeper Wang heard this, he hurriedly came to the counter, took a notebook in his hand, checked it, and then returned to Han Zhutou's face and pointed to the notebook.

"Han Zhutou, room 3, room 4, and room 5 are all chartered by Zhang Gongzi, he lives in room 5 by himself, and his entourage lives in room 3 and room 4."

At this point, the tone of the shopkeeper Wang paused, he flipped through the book again, and then continued, "Room 6 lives a pair of brothers in Qingyang City, one is called Fang Zhiming, and the other is called Fang Zhiliang.

Room 7 lives in Zhou Gongzi of Aoki Cheng, and room 8 lives in such an entourage of Zhou Gongzi. ”

At this point, the shopkeeper Wang's tone paused, he flipped through the book again, and then, stretched out his finger and pointed in the direction of Lu Dashi, before continuing, "Room 9 and Room 10 were taken over by these guest officers. ”

After listening to the introduction of the shopkeeper Wang, Han Zhutou nodded, and then beckoned to the shopkeeper Wang, "Give me the account book!" ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly handed over the account book with both hands.

Han Zhutou flipped through the account book, then raised his head, looked around at the people in the hall, and asked loudly, "Who are Zhang Gongzi's entourage, stand up and speak?"

After Zhang Laosan and the others heard Han Zhutou's words, they all hurriedly walked a few steps and came to Han Zhutou.

"The person is Zhang Gongzi's entourage!"

Han Zhutou glanced at the few people in front of him, and then nodded, "Where were you all at the time of the crime?" ”

Hearing Han Zhutou's question, Zhang Laosan hurriedly replied, "If you go back to Han Zhutou, we were all in the hall at that time!" ”
