Chapter 475: Strange Vaudeville Artist
Chapter 475 Strange Vaudeville Artist.
Leaving the Dong Mansion, on the way back to the state office, Bao Zheng analyzed: "If the murder scene is really a secret room, the only one who can kill people and then escape, but there are only five people in their juggling class, and if there is no top pot, they will make a lot of less money, that Wu Gu really has no motive to kill!" ”
After Bao Zheng finished speaking, everyone hurriedly followed, but at this time, Yin Wuxian suddenly said: "Could it be that they suddenly got a large amount of property and were ready to divide it equally, but everyone killed the artist who topped the basin in order to share a little more?" ”
Everyone didn't understand why Yin Wuxian thought like this, Gongsun Ce pondered for a moment and said: "If they really suddenly got a lot of money, then why did they bother to give Dong Cheng's mother a show to celebrate her birthday, they should have left Duanzhou City earlier, right, even if it is a murder, wouldn't it be more convenient to go to a place where there is no one?" ”
Gongsun Ce was right, Yin was speechless, so he had to shrug his shoulders helplessly.
But at this time, Hua Lang smiled: "Maybe their money hasn't arrived yet, so they can't leave Duanzhou City in a hurry." ”
Bao Zheng frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "How is this possible, killing people who are likely to share the property with themselves before the money arrives, this is a bit unreasonable, if the money is not in hand after the last, then they will not lose?" And now that there has been a murder, all the people here are under our care, and if the investigation does not find out the truth, I am afraid it will be difficult for them to leave here. ”
What Bao Zheng said didn't make sense, so at this time, everyone fell into puzzlement, and then there was nothing to say all the way.
After returning to the state office, Hua Lang suggested that Long Budi be recruited for questioning, because he was looking for that juggling team, so he should have a certain understanding of this juggling class.
A servant left the state government in a hurry, about a stick of incense after a while, Long Budi hurriedly ran over, he saluted, and sat down on the side, and then Bao Zheng asked directly: "The murder of the Dong Yuan's family, Boss Long must have heard about it, right?" ”
Long Budi nodded again and again: "I heard that one of the artists in the juggling class died, which is really unexpected." ”
Bao Zheng snorted, and then asked, "Where did the juggling boss Banlong get it from?" ”
Long Budi didn't hide it, and said directly: "That's the case, a few days ago I went out of the city to congratulate my friends on the New Year, and on the way back I rested in a teahouse, and then I met this juggling team, they said that they would perform a variety of acrobatics, so I asked one of them to perform one, I thought it was very interesting, and I thought that Qingli Yuan was going to perform a show on the Shangyuan Festival, but fortunately I invited them, but they said that they had to wait until the fourteenth day of the first month to go to Duanzhou City, because in these few days, they also have some performances in other places, I didn't say anything when I saw this, as long as I didn't delay the performance of the Shangyuan Festival. ”
"Did you give them a deposit?"
"This is not true, after all, they are going to the rivers and lakes to perform arts, they have no fixed place, and they are given a deposit What if they don't come, so I will give them an agreement, if they arrive in Duanzhou City on the fourteenth day of the first month, they will go to Qingli Courtyard by themselves, as long as they come, I will give them a deposit first, and then give them the rest of the money after the performance on the fifteenth day of the first month, and they will come on the fourteenth day of the first month, I will arrange for them to stay, and then give them a deposit."
The situation that Long Budi said was reasonable, and after Bao Zheng bowed slightly, he looked at Hua Lang and asked, "Brother Hua, is there anything else you want to ask?" ”
Hua Lang nodded slightly, and then asked Long Budi, "You met them in the teahouse halfway?" ”
"Yes."
"You asked them on your own initiative?"
"It's not, after all, at first glance at them, I can't see what they are capable of, it was they who asked me first, maybe because of the expensive clothes I wear, I should be a rich man."
This is understandable, after all, people who go to the rivers and lakes are very sharp-eyed, and if they want to make money, they naturally have to shout and talk to each other, and they can't ask others to find them.
Hua Lang had nothing to ask, and Long Budi was already ready to leave, but at this time, Hua Wan'er suddenly asked, "Is Miss Bailan's foot injury better?" ”
Hearing Hua Wan'er ask this question, Long Budi was a little surprised, but he still quickly replied: "It's better, thank you for your concern." ”
Gongsun Ce wanted to speak and stopped, and at this time, Long Budi had already said goodbye and left.
After Long Budi left, Hua Lang immediately said: "You should send someone to investigate, before the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, all the people of this juggling team have been to a place and performed there." ”
Bao Zheng agreed, and then ordered.
In this way, when it was dusk, those officials rushed back, and they said that they had searched all the places near Duanzhou City, and said that they had not seen any performances, and they seemed to have never performed in Duanzhou City before.
After hearing this, Bao Zheng suddenly said angrily: "Those jugglers deceived Long Budi, and they didn't go to other places to perform at all. ”
At this time, Hua Lang was quite calm, he looked at the official and asked, "They didn't perform, so someone has seen them, or can you inquire about where they were in those days?" ”
The official nodded and said, "I inquired about it, they all lived in a ruined temple outside Duanzhou City, and they lived for about four or five days, and they didn't leave until the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and they entered Duanzhou City directly." ”
After listening to this, Bao Zheng and Hua Lang felt so strange, since they had no place to perform, why did they lie to Long Budi that they had a performance, if they followed Long Budi to Duanzhou City, even if they didn't give them wages for a few days, but the food and lodging were always packaged, it was much better than them living in a broken temple, but why would they rather live in a broken temple than come back with Long Budi?
This is something that they can't figure out, but they are not in a hurry about this matter, after all, the jugglers are still there, and if you ask them the reason tomorrow, they will understand it clearly.
After thinking like this, everyone was relieved a lot, but they felt that it was still very weird, if these people really suddenly got a large amount of money, could it be that in those few days, they refused to follow Long Budi into Duanzhou City early, for that money? But it still doesn't make sense to think so, if they have a lot of money, why should they come to Duanzhou City to perform for the Qingli Courtyard of Long Budi again?
Could it be that they were just preparing for the past few days in order to make trouble in Duanzhou City?
Thinking of this, Bao Zheng shook his head, now they are all watched!
