The next morning, the sky was overcast and heavy rain was pouring down.
The huge city of Jinling was immersed in the rain.
"Why does it seem like I've gone mad today?"
Looking at the heavy rain outside, Wang Ye leaned against the door frame and said, "Yesterday the sun was shining brightly and the sky was cloudless, why is it starting to rain today?"
"It's raining, and today's business is bad again."
As he spoke, Wang Ye sighed softly.
"Shopkeeper Wang is truly a genuine businessman!"
Seeing Wang Ye complaining while leaning against the door frame, the detective drinking tea behind him smiled and said, "It's already autumn now, and rainy weather is common..."
"Besides, this inn is quiet and peaceful. Drinking tea and watching the rain is a unique experience!"
"Didn't I just put down the case at hand and drink tea here?"
As he spoke, the detective took a sip of Lao Yin tea and a bite of a plum, appearing to be quite relaxed.
"Master Shenpo, we can't compare with you!"
After hearing Shen Bu's words, Wang Ye said, "You are an official appointed by the court. You receive a sufficient amount of silver every month. Naturally, you can avoid the rain, snow, wind and frost."
"But we are a small business. If no one comes to our store, we will have no income. How can I not worry?"
"Didn't I deposit fifty taels of silver? "
At this time, the detective was puzzled.
"Master Shenbu, please ignore him."
When the detective said this, Ah Ji, who was sitting next to him, said disdainfully: "This old money-grubber has completely lost his mind to money. If he doesn't pick up money when he goes out, he will be considered lost. I am talking about him."
"Don't even mention that it's raining and there are no customers. Even if the restaurant is full every day, he still hopes that people will leave after eating so that he can make room for the next table."
Ha ha ha ha!
After hearing Wang Ye's words, the detective laughed heartily: "Manager Wang is indeed a wonderful person!"
"Since it's raining heavily today and the store isn't busy, why don't you come over and have some tea and chat with me, Manager Wang?"
“This…is not good.”
Wang Ye hesitated in response to the detective's words.
Although drinking tea and chatting on a rainy day is quite relaxing, it depends on the person.
If a beautiful girl came to him to talk about life, Wang Ye would naturally agree.
But the one who invited him was not Mao Mei, but the meticulous and observant !
If this guy accidentally reveals his true identity, we will be in big trouble.
"Why not? You are the host and I am the guest. It's a rainy day and it's normal for the host to chat with the guest..."
Hearing Wang Ye's words, the detective raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Ye: "Could it be that the shopkeeper is afraid to chat with me?"
Between the lines, there was already a hint of amusement on the detective's face.
"Hi!"
At that moment, Wang Ye said, "Master Shenpo has captured countless criminals and is so righteous that we ordinary people support him. How can we be afraid of him?"
"Since Master Shenpo wants to chat, I'll accompany you!"
Then Wang Ye said to Aji, "Aji, bring me another pot of Laoyin tea and a pile of preserved fruits. I want to have a good chat with Master Shenpo today!"
After saying this, Wang Ye came to the side of the detective and sat down.
"Shopkeeper Wang is really straightforward."
Seeing Wang Ye coming to his side, the detective smiled and said, "Actually, I have something I want to ask Shopkeeper Wang..."
"Please ask..."
Hearing this, Wang Ye hurriedly said, "I will tell you everything I know!"
When speaking, Wang Ye looked serious.
"Hahaha, Shopkeeper Wang, you don't have to be so serious. I'm not investigating a case. Everyone just relax a little."
In response to Wang Ye’s reaction, the detective smiled and shook his head.
He stretched out his hand and patted Wang Ye's shoulder, pinched it twice, and said, "Shopkeeper Wang's muscles are quite tight. He doesn't look like a shopkeeper, but more like a martial artist!"
While speaking, the detective had a smile on his face, as if he was joking.
But in fact, this is his method of interrogation.
He had already asked Captain Zhao for some details before, and now he repeatedly questioned Wang Ye in order to find out the flaws.
"You see?"
After hearing the words of the detective, Wang Ye pretended to be surprised and said, "You are the detective, but your vision is so venomous!"
"oh?"
Looking at Wang Ye's expression, the detective raised his eyebrows and said, "So, Manager Wang has really practiced martial arts?"
"Actually, I haven't really practiced before..."
Hearing this, Wang Ye shook his head and said, "When I was young and ignorant, I was full of passion and wanted to travel the world with a sword. So I found a master and wanted to learn a few moves, but martial arts training was too difficult and I could n't endure the hardship, so I had to work hard for a few months before I quit..."
"Later, I worked hard outside and used my savings to open this inn. At the beginning, the inn was short-staffed and I was busy running around. This muscular body was built during that time."
"I have never told anyone about these things. It's only because you, the Master Detective, have a sharp eye that you can see through them!"
As he spoke, Wang Ye gave the detective a thumbs up.
After these words were spoken, the detective nodded, but a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.
Wang Ye said a lot, but most of it was nonsense.
In addition, the latter part was basically the same as what Captain Zhao said, so for a moment, the detective couldn't find any flaws.
Seeing the detective's expression, Wang Ye laughed secretly in his heart.
His current identity was deliberately arranged, and it would be the same no matter who came, and it was simply impeccable.
Even if you rack your brains, you won't be able to find any flaws.
"That being said, I always feel that Shopkeeper Wang is a gangster..."
Seeing that Wang Ye's words matched what Captain Zhao had said, the captain simply changed the subject and changed his strategy.
"How do you see that, Master Shenpo?"
At this time, Wang Ye ate a plum and asked.
"I heard from Captain Zhao that Manager Wang often brought corpses to the government office to exchange for money..."
"The corpse was hideous and horrible, and ordinary people would try to avoid it, but Shopkeeper Wang could take it away to exchange for money with a clear conscience."
"This is not something that ordinary people can do."
Having said that, the detective looked at Wang Ye again.
"Hey, I was wondering what was going on. You're talking about this!"
Hearing the detective mention this, Wang Ye said: "Aji beat the man to death, I just took him away to exchange for money."
"Besides, if someone dies here, I will take care of him sooner or later. If I take him to the government to exchange for money, wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?!"
At this time, Wang Ye answered fluently with a slick look on his face.
"That's right, Master Shenpo, he is just greedy for money!"
At this time, Ah Ji came up with some old Yin tea and preserved fruit. "As long as he has the chance, he would dare to break off the gold teeth in the mouths of the dead and put them in his own place, not to mention pulling a dead person to exchange for money!"
"Hey, you little bastard!"
Hearing Aji's words, Wang Ye waved his hands impatiently and said, "I'm chatting with the detective, why are you interrupting?"
"Go, go, go, stand at the door to welcome the guests, don't stand there and get in the way!"
"What kind of guests are we welcoming on a rainy day?"
Hearing this, Ah Ji was startled and said, "Look outside, it's raining heavily. Who would eat too much and go out for a walk today?"
"Just go if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Looking at Aji, Wang Ye said impatiently: "Who could have expected it to rain so hard? Who knows, someone might come at an inappropriate time. When the time comes, you can drag him in and give him a pot of hot ginger tea to warm him up. Isn't that also money?"
After hearing this, Aji was speechless.
He threw the sweat towel over his shoulders, stood up and walked towards the door.
Woo!
As soon as he reached the door of Zuixianlou, Aji felt a gust of water vapor accompanied by a strong wind coming towards him, blowing rain all over his face.
Just as he was about to wipe his face with a towel, he suddenly noticed a figure walking towards him in the rain.
