Chapter 725: Mystery Case
Chapter 725 Mystery Case.
However, even if Ye Xing thought so, they still obeyed Zhu Gaochi's order and went downstairs to see what was going on.
At this time, the whole Yuankelai Inn was in a mess, and the shopkeeper stood on the stairs on the second floor and shouted that the dead were dead, while the shopkeeper downstairs was stopping those guests and asking them to give money.
Seeing this, Ye Xing shouted loudly: "All the people in the inn are not allowed to leave the inn, and if anyone leaves the inn, they will be punished as murder!" ”
After hearing this, those who wanted to rush out, although they were very disdainful, they really wanted to see who was so bold that they dared to say such things, in this place of Jinling, they have seen a lot of officials, but they have never seen such a horizontal official.
Of course, Ye Xing didn't know that he was already very horizontal in the hearts of these people, he just felt that no one could leave the scene until the matter was clarified, lest the murderer take the opportunity to escape.
At this time, a sentence came from the crowd: "Who are you, who have the right to order us?" ”
Ye Xing smiled coldly: "This king is the emperor's own seal of the world, and Ye Xing, the king of the Ming Dynasty, is also, if anyone dares to leave without permission, he will not blame this king for being polite!" ”
They have still heard of the name of King Daming, and today they have seen a real person, and now that King Daming is pressing, they dare to leave there.
Ye Xing saw that no one left, so he looked at the innkeeper and asked, "How many people ran out just now?" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly replied: "Back to King Daming, no one ran out, just now they all wanted to run, but they were stopped by the guys in my store, and they wanted to leave without giving money, so there is such a cheap thing." ”
The innkeeper is very lean, and at first glance he looks like a shrewd and capable person, and his speech is quite reasonable.
Ye Xing saw that no one ran out, so he ordered: "No one is allowed to leave without my order, everything will be said after I finish checking the corpse!" ”
After Ye Xing said this, he hurriedly whispered to Zhu Gaochi: "The news that the prince is going out is not easy to spread, and I hope the prince will forgive me for not reporting the prince's name just now." ”
Zhu Gaochi never cared about such novels, he smiled slightly: "Ye Aiqing said that, I know that you are doing this for my own good, let's go check on the corpse first." ”
Ye Xing nodded slightly, and then led people to the second floor, at this time, the shopkeeper was still a little frightened, after entering the room of the inn, everyone found a slightly obese body lying on a round table, the round table was full of wine and food, there were two wine glasses, and the wine glass opposite the corpse was empty, Ye Xing picked it up and checked it, and the wine had not been poured inside.
In the back of the corpse was a dagger, the dagger was of a very ordinary kind, and there was nothing to examine.
The room was not messy, it seems that the murderer entered the room and stabbed the deceased while he was unprepared.
The corpse's clothes are very good, and at a glance, he knows that he is an extremely wealthy person, and after Ye Xing checked all this, he called the shopkeeper who had just shouted loudly for questioning.
Although the shopkeeper was scared, he still came to the deceased's room one by one, and after the shopkeeper came, he stood aside and didn't dare to speak, just waiting for Ye Xing to ask.
"Tell me about the circumstances of your discovery of the body!" Ye Xing looked at the shopkeeper and ordered.
The shopkeeper nodded again and again, and said: "Here's the thing, this guest officer asked for a few side dishes, and asked for a pot of wine, just now, I went up to ask him if he had any other needs, but I knocked on the door a few times and there was no response, I don't think it's right, even if he doesn't need anything, he will loudly scold us shopkeepers, so I opened the door to see what was inside, but who knew that after I pushed the door open, I found him...... Dead here, I rushed down in fear. ”
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, his expression was still a little nervous.
Ye Xing pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know what the name of the deceased is?" ”
The shopkeeper nodded: "I know, the deceased is a famous rich businessman in our Jinling, how could I not know, he is a frequent visitor here, he is the boss of Zhou Facai who opened a rice shop on East Street!" ”
A very cheesy name, Ye Xing smiled coldly, and continued to ask: "I see that there are two wine glasses on the table, is Zhou Facai coming with others?" ”
The shopkeeper thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, he came alone." ”
"Then after Zhou Facai came, did you see anyone enter his room?" Ye Xing continued to ask.
The shopkeeper shook his head: "Every day at noon, it is the best time for business when we come to the guests, people come and go, where do I have time to pay attention to whether anyone enters Boss Zhou's private room!" ”
"And how many guys do you have here?"
"About a twelve!"
Ye Xing nodded slightly, and then said to Ai Fei'er: "You go down and ask those guys to see if they have seen anyone enter Zhou Facai's room." ”
Ai Fei'er went down immediately after receiving the order, and when Ai Fei'er was investigating those guys, Ye Xing said to Di Xiaojie: "You go and send someone to transport the body away, and notify Zhou Facai's family to identify the body, and then send some people to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from leaving." ”
Zhu Gaochi saw that Ye Xing was going to leave by himself, and said with some embarrassment: "Ye Aiqing, now that there is a life case in Jinling, how can I, as the prince, leave?" ”
Ye Xing smiled faintly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you are the prince of the Ming Dynasty, we must think about your safety, besides, you are the emperor, you don't have to bow down to everything, didn't Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty write ten thoughts to Tang Taizong Li Shimin, as long as His Royal Highness can know people and be good at his duties, then he can compete for civil and military affairs, the monarch and the minister have nothing to do, you can enjoy the joy of Yu Yu, you can raise the longevity of Song Qiao, and the piano hangs down, and it goes without saying." Why bother thinking hard, taking the place of the subordinate, serving the eyes and ears of wisdom, and doing nothing? ”
Ye Xing can't chew words, but he can still say some truths, Zhu Gaochi saw that Ye Xing used Wei Zheng to advise Taizong to persuade himself, and he felt very useful in his heart, and felt more and more that Ye Xing was the Wei Zheng of their Ming Dynasty, so he nodded again and again: "Ye Aiqing is very right, this prince listens to you, so go back." ”
After Xu Ruoxuan sent someone to escort the prince back to the East Palace, Ai Fei'er had already finished the questioning, and the result of the inquiry made Ye Xing and the others very disappointed, and none of them saw anyone who had entered Zhou Facai's room.
But Ye Xing and the others were convinced that someone had indeed entered Zhou Facai's room and killed Zhou Facai, otherwise how could the dagger be inserted into Zhou Facai's back, even if it was suicide, it would be impossible to commit suicide like this.
This case was a little confusing, which made Ye Xing and them confused for a while.
