Chapter 10 Miss Shen
Xu Zun understood that this was a feudal society after all.
It was normal for a few prisoners to die in this prison. Otherwise, there wouldn't be sharp corners in the cells for serious criminals.
The two jailers seemed submissive on the surface, but in fact they did not care and did not think that the mistake they had committed was so serious.
At this time, Zhao Yu also came back to report that he had asked the prisoners in the front row of cells, and the prisoners unanimously stated that during the time period when You Dalang had the accident, they only saw the two jailers passing by, and no one else!
Soon after, the prison boss who was eating outside came back. He showed the key on his waist and confirmed that the key had been with him and no one had touched it.
In this way, the possibility that You Dalang was murdered is becoming increasingly smaller.
The two jailers had no keys, yet they could testify against each other.
Zhao Yu and the detectives also had alibis, and no one entered the area where You Dalang was during the time of the crime.
From this perspective, You Dalang could only have committed suicide.
suicide……
Is it really suicide?
Although Xu Zun was willing to believe this conclusion, for some reason he still felt uneasy.
I hope... I'm just thinking too much!
"Sir!" Zhao Yu asked hurriedly, "Should we go to the silk shop next?"
Looking at Zhao Yu's excited expression, it is obvious that he wants to see how much benefit he can get from You Dalang?
"Okay!" Xu Zun nodded, "Let's go now!"
Xu Zunzheng had this intention, but he was not thinking about how much benefit it would bring, but wanted to see if he could find other clues from You Dalang's house?
Before leaving, Xu Zun instructed the jailer:
"You guys take good care of the body, and then find the best coroner in this county. I want to perform the autopsy with him tonight!"
"yes!"
The jailer agreed verbally, but he was very surprised in his heart.
Because, since taking office, their county lieutenant has never cared about any case and has never touched a corpse.
Now I suddenly have to perform an autopsy with the coroner. How can I not be surprised?
Of course, it was not only the jailer who was surprised. Zhao Yu had also long noticed that this confused county lieutenant was different from before!
No, it's very different...
…
On the way back to the silk shop, Xu Zun finally had time to think about something else.
For example, if You Dalang's case could be settled, shouldn't I consider living a more fulfilled life?
Make money? Get promoted? Get married? Visit Huaxianglou?
Wait a moment……
He almost forgot that he was a prospective son-in-law!
Different from most upright young men, Xu Zun was not opposed to marrying into a woman's family. On the contrary, he was looking forward to it very much.
As a veteran undercover agent, he knows how to judge the situation and never acts out of loyalty.
He was confident that he could even deal with criminal groups, let alone a mere Shen family?
In the future, once I have dealt with my father-in-law's family, I can realize my great ambition of living a life of luxury as soon as possible.
Of course, there is another important reason why he is not opposed to being a son-in-law, that is, Miss Shen is indeed beautiful!
With eyebrows as dark as spring mountains, bright eyes and white teeth, she is a typical little beauty in ancient times.
If you can rise to the top and win the heart of a beautiful woman, why not do it?
However, Xu Zun thought again that now that so many people knew about his affair with Chunniang, it would be difficult to hide it from the Shen family!
It probably won't be long before my father-in-law comes knocking on my door. If I don't handle it well, then...
While Xu Zun was thinking about it, the two had already returned to You Dalang's silk shop.
There is a shop in front of the silk shop and a residence in the back.
At this moment, the constables and yamen runners had completely surrounded the silk shop and sealed the door.
Regardless of the era, watching the fun is a traditional virtue of the common people.
As soon as the news of the Silk Shop Murder Case spread, it attracted countless people to watch and surrounded the entrance.
Everyone pointed at the crime scene and talked about it with great relish, and some witnesses even proudly explained the incident to others...
Damn it!
Xu Zun secretly clicked his tongue. If the news continued to spread at this rate, it would probably spread throughout the county soon.
It doesn’t matter that You Dalang became famous, the key is that he and Chunniang also became celebrities, which is very bad!
Seeing Xu Zun and Zhao Yu coming, the constable guarding the gate immediately opened the door a crack to let the two in.
Unexpectedly, when Xu Zun followed Zhao Yu into the house, he saw two beautiful young women in the house!
One of them sat on the armchair in the middle, dressed in purple, covered in jewels, and with an arrogant attitude.
Another servant in blue stood beside him. He had a tall and straight figure and looked very heroic, holding a heavy black umbrella in his hand.
"Why!?"
When Captain Zhao saw strangers coming in, he was about to scold them, but after seeing the faces of the two women clearly, he seemed to have taken a mute drug and quickly stepped aside obediently.
No way?
Xu Zun recognized that the purple-dressed beauty was his fiancée, the eldest daughter of the Shen family—Shen Qian!!!
The tall woman standing next to her was Shen Qian's maid, Huo Anu.
Huo Anu was from the Western Regions. She had a high nose bridge, delicate features, and dozens of pigtails on her head, which gave her a unique charm.
Squeak...
The door closed and the room suddenly became dark.
The light coming from the skylight just happened to shine on Shen Qian, highlighting her proud status like a spotlight.
Zhao Yu retreated to the dark and whispered to one of his detectives, "You just let them in like this?"
The constable looked helpless and asked, "What else?"
Although Shen Qian was just a lady from a wealthy family, she had a good father. Not to mention the messengers from the county government, even if the county magistrate came, he would have to be courteous.
"Then..." Zhao Yu asked again, "Why is she here?"
The constable asked again: "What do you think?"
"It's over..." Zhao Yu felt desperate, realizing that Miss Shen must have come because of the scandal between Xu Zun and Chun Niang.
"Then...you didn't talk nonsense, right?" Zhao Yu asked again.
"No, absolutely not!" the detective replied, "How dare we say such nonsense? Fortunately you are here, otherwise... I don't know if I can hold on any longer..."
call……
Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Even though the detectives did not speak nonsense, it was obvious that Xu Zun would not be able to escape today!
At the same time, Xu Zun also had a look of despair on his face.
He never expected that Miss Shen would come so quickly? It was obvious that she was eager to take care of him!
Isn't it said that women in ancient times were not allowed to leave the house? How could she be at the crime scene?
However, based on memory feedback, Xu Zun soon learned that the people of Daxuan were open-minded and did not have too strict requirements for women.
"Xu Xiaotan'er, you came at the perfect time!" Shen Qian said proudly, "I was just about to look for you! Now, I finally caught you, didn't I? "
emmm……
Xu Xiaotaner...
This nickname is really sour!
"Oh, my lady," Xu Zun could only force a smile and play dumb, "Why are you here? Are you worried about my safety? Don't worry, I'm fine, I was just hit by a club and almost framed as a murderer. Don't worry about me!"
"Shut up!" Shen Qian suddenly turned angry, "Who is your wife? Xu Xiaopan'er, I already know all the dirty things you did that are immoral and corrupt! You are finished, just wait for the engagement to be broken off!!!"
