Chapter 839: The Tower That Never Sleeps
Chapter 839 Never Night Tower.
The next day, the weather was overcast and a little muggy, as if it was going to rain.
After Ye Xing and the others got up, they were about to go to the private school to watch the rematch of today's Go competition, but as soon as they left the post house, they saw a group of officials walking towards the post house.
If these officials invited them to go to the private school to watch the Go game, then there was no need for them to come so many people, and they were in such a hurry, besides, when Ye Xing and the others went yesterday, they didn't see anyone come to invite.
Therefore, these officials must have other things to do when they come to the inn.
At this time, a servant took the lead and said, "King Daming is going to a private school to watch the Go competition?" ”
Ye Xing nodded and said, "That's right, it's just a few little brothers going to do something?" ”
The official hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "The game is funny, we are going to go to the Nightless Tower." ”
It turned out that these officials did not come to the post house to find Ye Xing and them, but they just passed through the post house, but Ye Xing did not let it go so much, he continued to ask: "Buyelou, what are you doing in Buyelou?" ”
The official was a little embarrassed, and when Ye Xing saw this, he suddenly said angrily: "Why, even I can't know?" ”
The official was immediately frightened, and hurriedly said: "There was a murder in Buyelou, we will go to investigate now, and by the way, tell King Daming that today's Go competition has been canceled, and you don't have to go again." ”
There was a murder in the Buyelou, Ye Xing was more interested in this murder, compared to the Go competition, he seemed indifferent, but after Ye Xing thought about it carefully, he also felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked: "What does the murder case in the Buyelou have to do with the cancellation of the Go competition, is it not that the dead person is a Go player?" ”
Everyone was shocked, and the official also nodded hurriedly and said, "That's right, the dead person is the Go boy Baili Kuo." ”
After listening to the words of the officer, Ye Xing couldn't help but sigh, when he came back from fishing yesterday, he was faintly uneasy in his heart, and he always felt that something would happen, and now, something really happened, and he encountered this matter, but he absolutely couldn't sit idly by, so he wanted to go with those officials.
Those officials dared to disobey the orders of King Daming.
On the way to the Nightless Tower, Ye Xing inquired in detail about the situation of the Nightless Tower.
And the official also answered in detail, the night building is the largest attic in Qihe County, but this attic is not for guests to eat and sleep, but for people who love Go to play when they are fine, because sometimes the two masters need a long time to play, so they will play until late, so this night building is also open all day, which can be regarded as a landscape in Qihe County.
After listening to the narration of the servant, Ye Xing and the others also have a general understanding of this nightless building, but is it still necessary for a person like Baili Kuo, the son of Go, to go to the nightless building to compete with others?
When I came to the Buye Tower, there were already guards in the Buye Tower, and after removing these officials, there were Hu Yong, Hu County Ling, Fan Xinyuan and her maid Lian'er.
When Hu Yong saw Ye Xing coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "A small case even alarmed King Daming, which really made the lower officials feel ashamed. ”
Regarding Hu Yong's shame, Ye Xing just smiled faintly: "You are just a county order, and you can't decide whether the murder happened, what is there to be ashamed of, but you didn't tell this king about a murder here, isn't it a little unreasonable?" ”
Hu Yong saw Ye Xing asking, so he hurriedly explained: "That's not the case, such a small case, Xinyuan and I can solve it, I really don't dare to bother King Daming, and we don't know if King Daming is interested in such a small case, so we ...... I didn't dare to invite. ”
Ye Xing glanced at Fan Xinyuan, who was busy, and saw that he still looked good when he checked the corpse, and she was worthy of the title of female baogong, so when Ye Xing saw all this, he said with a smile: "Since you and Miss Fan are investigating this case, then I won't interfere directly, just take a look from the side." ”
Hu Yong agreed again and again, but at this time, Fan Xinyuan walked up slowly, smiled coldly, and said, "King Daming said that this case is small and not worth your investigation?" ”
Ye Xing saw Fan Xinyuan talking like this, and felt a little unhappy in his heart, so he said: "No matter how big or small the cases in the world are, they are very important in my eyes, I just think that since Miss Fan is known as the female Baogong, she naturally has a good ability to handle cases, why not hand over the case to you, don't you have confidence in yourself?" ”
Ye Xing's counterattack was also very powerful, which made Fan Xinyuan a little unbearable for a while, and finally she ignored Ye Xing's identity as the king of Daming, and said: "What do you mean by this, how can I not have confidence in myself, I think you don't have confidence in yourself, so you don't dare to investigate this case!" ”
As soon as Fan Xinyuan's words came out, Hu Yong was taken aback, he hurriedly apologized to Ye Xing, saying that Fan Xinyuan's children were not sensible, but the matter did not end there, Hu Yong's words made Fan Xinyuan more and more unconvinced, and finally said: "I heard that you have been walking in the world for many years and have broken a lot of cases, and now there is a case here, do you dare to compare with me and see who finds out the murderer first?" ”
Regarding Fan Xinyuan's challenge, Di Xiaojie accepted it without hesitation, but after he accepted it, Fan Xinyuan didn't take it seriously, and still looked at Ye Xing, she wanted to know Ye Xing's answer.
Seeing this situation, Ye Xing had no choice but to nod and say, "Since Miss Fan wants to test her ability to investigate the case with this king, then I have no choice but to accompany her!" ”
Seeing that Ye Xing agreed, Fan Xinyuan continued: "Okay, whoever of us finds the murderer first, even if he wins!" ”
This rule is very simple, so Ye Xing readily agrees.
And when Ye Xing agreed, Fan Xinyuan no longer bothered with Ye Xing, and went downstairs directly, Ye Xing came to the corpse to inspect after Fan Xinyuan went downstairs, and Hu Yong accompanied him, and hurriedly said: "King Daming don't have to worry about Xinyuan, her child is too strong!" ”
For Hu Yong, he was still very worried, he was afraid that Ye Xing would be unhappy.
However, Ye Xing just smiled faintly and didn't say much about this matter, but directly entered the investigation.
There were no external injuries on Bai Li Kuo's body, but his lips were purple, he should have died of poisoning, this is obvious, Ye Xing believes that Fan Xinyuan must have seen it a long time ago, so to solve this case, you need to know who was chatting with Bai Li Kuo in this box last night.
Ye Xing can know for sure that it is a chat, because although there is a chessboard on the table and a few pieces have been played, judging from the trend of black and white, it can be seen that this game of chess was played by one person.
