Chapter 304: Another Storm
Chapter 304 Trouble Arises Again.
Evenings in the middle of summer are the most anticipated and comfortable times of the day.
Hualang and others drank in the inn, celebrating for Zhanzhao, Begonia was even more difficult to suppress the joy in her heart, and drank several times the wine to accompany everyone, but after she drank these glasses of wine, she seemed to be drunk, Begonia's drunkenness was very beautiful, and the beauty made people palpitate, but in the inn, this drunkenness was embarrassed to be presented in front of everyone, so Zhanzhao helped her back to the room to rest.
After that, everyone continued to drink until they were drunk.
The amount of alcohol they have is very good, and when everyone thinks it is time to rest, the table is already full of small wine jars, and the innkeeper is watching from the side, for fear that these people will get drunk and make trouble.
When the shopkeeper began to clean up the wine jar on the table, the outside had already dimmed, and the summer breeze blew, giving people a comfortable feeling.
There are fewer pedestrians on the street, and when night falls, Yangzhou City is empty, only cicadas chirp.
There was a moon tonight, and as the night deepened, the moonlight shone through the window lattice into a small courtyard, and in the courtyard there was a round table, on which was placed a pot of wine, and two men lay on the table, as if they were asleep, but if anyone approached it, they would surely be able to see that between the necks of these two men, each had a lancet.
The night seems to be the beginning of sin.
But one way or another, the night will pass.
Early the next morning, the whole Yangzhou city was in trouble again, and they shouted separately, saying that the two people who offended Fang Linfeng died in their homes yesterday, with a lancet stuck in their necks, and now the lancet is dead, and the person who can have the lancet is probably only Fang Xiaomei, who has an extremely good relationship with the lancet.
These people shouted, undoubtedly treating Fang Xiaomei as a murderer.
They didn't say that they wanted to arrest Fang Xiaomei, they just coaxed, because coaxing is a temptation that is difficult to resist for the entire human race, although some of them can understand after thinking about it carefully, Fang Xiaomei is not the only person who has a lancet now, and the murderer who killed the lancet may also have it.
However, they didn't say this, firstly because they wanted to follow the coaxing, secondly, they didn't know what the consequences would be if they said it, and secondly, they always believed that the murderer of the Liu Dao knife was a member of the Fang family.
Yangzhou Mansion, the prefect Luo Qing walked around the living room, and the head catcher Fang Bronze stood there without saying a word, he didn't know what to say to make the prefect angry.
I don't know how long it took, Luo Qing stopped, looked at Fang Qingtong and asked, "You tell me the truth, did the people of your Fang family kill the Liu Dao Dao, did they do the case last night?" ”
At this time, these news had already reached the government office, but they didn't know what to do, should they temporarily detain Fang Xiaomei?
Fang Bronze understands the difficulties of the prefect, and now the people are angry, and it is not okay not to give an explanation.
After Luo Qing asked that sentence, Fang Qingtong immediately knelt down and said, "My lord, our Fang family will never do such a thing, please believe me." ”
Luo Qing looked at Fang Bronze for a long time, and said: "You get up, I believe in you, but now you may not be able to interfere in this case, this is my only explanation to the people of Yangzhou City, you find someone and let him take over your position and investigate this matter." ”
As a result, Fang Bronze had already thought that now that the matter involved his Fang family, if he went to investigate again, it would inevitably attract criticism, but who would he find to take over the investigation of the case?
In the Yangzhou Mansion, there is no shortage of capable people, but they are somewhat at odds with themselves, and they want to squeeze themselves out, they come to be the head catcher, thinking about it, Fang Qingtong had to be ruthless, and said: "My lord, I want Hua Lang to help investigate this case." ”
Luo Qing raised his eyebrows and asked a little puzzled: "Hualang, is that private detective?" ”
Fang Qingtong nodded and said, "That's right, although Hua Lang is not from the government, his wisdom and I are obvious to all, and he already knows a lot about this case, let him help, he will definitely be able to succeed immediately." ”
After listening to Fang Bronze's words, Luo Qing also felt good, but he still had a concern, so he asked: "Then what kind of identity should we use to let him investigate this case, can't we find him an errand in the government because of this case?" ”
Fang Qingtong thought for a while and said, "This is naturally not good, and I heard that Hua Lang doesn't like to be an official, so we might as well hire him in his way." ”
The so-called employment is naturally to give him money to help investigate the case according to the rules of the detective agency, Luo Qing thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask him to come over to talk about it." ”
The matter of Yangzhou City, Hua Lang heard about it as soon as he got up in the morning, and after he heard about it, he felt that this matter was so weird, why were those two people killed just yesterday when they provoked Fang Linfeng?
In this situation, Fang Linfeng did not dare to send someone to kill those two people, because after those two people died, the consequences would be the same as now, and the Fang family was discussed and criticized by the entire Yangzhou people.
If it wasn't done by the Fang family, it must have been done by the murderer, in order to make the Fang family the focus again.
The murderer's strategy is really high, Hua Lang thought like this, so he wanted to take someone to the scene of the crime to have a look, so that he could find a clue, but at this time, a government official came to invite him, saying that the prefect wanted to see Hua Lang.
Now in the world territory, it is not good to lose people's face, so Hualang has to go to Yangzhou Mansion first.
Because of Hua Lang's outstanding performance some time ago, at this time, the officials of Yangzhou Mansion admired Hua Lang very much, so they were very respectful to Hua Lang, and after the officials led them to the living room, Luo Qing stood up from the chair, and then smiled at Hua Lang: "It's great that Detective Hua can come." ”
Hua Lang saw that Luo Qing was so good to him, and he felt a little uneasy, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "Lord Luo has tormented the villain, but I don't know why Lord Luo asked me to wait?" ”
Luo Qing smiled, invited Hualang and the others to sit down, and then said, "Naturally, I want to do business with you." ”
Hua Lang frowned slightly, it is not easy to do business with the Yamen, but at this time, Hua Lang guessed a little, so he hurriedly smiled: "Lord Luo is polite, what is the use of being below, to put it bluntly, it is incumbent on you." ”
Hua Lang's modesty made Luo Qing very face-saving and made Luo Qing very happy, so at this time, Luo Qing told Hua Lang about the matter that he and Fang Bronze had discussed, and naturally did not forget to say the commission again.
