After entering Chang'an City, Lu Jinping did not directly ask Donggua Head to lead them to the Yunlai Inn, where the bodies were collected, but instead found an inn to stay in, then took off all the shackles of the wintergua Head and changed into casual clothes. He and several constables also changed into casual clothes, and then he escorted Donggua Head, just like a tourists wandering around, heading to Yunlai Inn.⊥,

After arriving at Yunlai Inn, Lu Jinping asked other constables to wait in the distance, and the winter melon head brought by Ye Qingqing into Yunlai Inn. Dong Gua Toutou knew that the beautiful girl Ye Qingqing was very skilled in martial arts and she had no ability to resist at all, so she could only lead them to the inn honestly.

After entering the inn, Donggua Tou was stunned for a moment, lowered his voice and said to Lu Jinping: "The shopkeeper at the counter is not the one who received the things when I came before, and the shopkeeper Huang was replaced!"

Lu Jinping said to Ye Qingqing: "You can find a place to sit down first, order two dishes at will, and I'll ask."

Lu Jinping stepped to the counter and laughed and said, "Is Manager Huang here?"

The shopkeeper looked at Lu Jinping and smiled and said, "Customer, are you looking for shopkeeper Huang? He had quit his job with his boss a month ago and stopped working. Now it's me."

"Oh? Then where can I find him? I have something to do with him."

Lu Jinping was very disappointed. If this clue was broken, what should we do next? He asked again: "Do you know where he lives?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I heard that he was temporarily hired by the boss, and I don't know where he lives."

"What about your boss? Where is it?"

"The boss is right behind the inn."

"Can you help me and let me meet your boss? I'll ask him, please."

Lu Jinping took out a small ingot of silver and placed it in front of the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper quickly pointed that point: "Okay, please come with me, I'll take you to see the boss."

After the shopkeeper greeted the guy, he took Lu Jinping from the back door to the backyard.

The backyard was a separate yard with the door closed. After the shopkeeper knocked on the door, the doorman opened the door and looked at the two of them.

The shopkeeper said that someone was looking for a boss, so the concierge asked them to go in and went to the flower hall to serve tea.

Soon the boss came out. The boss was an old man, fat and fat. After seeing Lu Jinping and the shopkeeper, he smiled and asked with a smile what was wrong? This man saw that he understood the principle of making money with kindness.

Lu Jinping asked: "I am an old friend of the former shopkeeper Huang of your inn. I came to Beijing to find him. But I just learned that he had quit his job a month ago, but he did not leave his home address, so I would like to ask my boss if he knows where he lives? Or where can I find him? Thank you."

The owner shook his head and said, "I don't know that shopkeeper Huang. Two months ago, he took the initiative to come to me and said that he thought of my inn as a shopkeeper at the front desk, and he didn't have to pay for his wages and was not responsible for money, so he was only responsible for greeting guests and keeping accounts. I asked him about some of the inns, and he answered them well and was very familiar with them. I thought that there was such a cheap thing in the world, so I agreed and asked him to be a shopkeeper at the front desk. Anyway, the specific money was mine.

The son was in charge of himself. He didn't take care of the money, so there would be no problem. He was neat and standardized in his bookkeeping, and I was very satisfied. But he quit his job and left after only one month of work, and he didn't leave anything. I once asked him where he lived. I originally thought that as long as the wages were right, he would hire him for a long time and give him wages. But he didn't say that, so I didn't know where he lived, nor did he understand why he worked for me for some days in vain and did not make money. It was really strange."

Lu Jinping was stunned when he heard this. If so, where would he go to find this line? Lu Jinping didn't give up and asked his boss: "Does he have friends or relatives or something? I'm really anxious to find him, there is something urgent."

The boss shook his head and said, "I really don't know. This person rarely talks except for doing things. I have asked him about the situation at home. Fortunately, he made excuses to avoid the topic in a vague way, so he didn't say anything. No one has ever come to him."

Lu Jinping had no choice but to say goodbye. When he arrived at the front hall, Ye Qingqing and Donggua Tou were still sitting there, ordering a few dishes but not eating them.

After Lu Jinping sat down, he asked the guy to order food to ask the guy about the previous situation of Manager Huang. However, the entire inn asked all the halls of the inn, and no one could tell where Manager Huang was. I don’t know where he could find him.

Lu Jinping was very depressed and stood up and left.

Ye Qingqing escorted Donggua Tou out of the inn and then met Xiong Grape and the others, Lu Jinping was a little confused for a moment and didn't know where to go.

Although it was his first time to visit the capital and he wanted to travel the capital well, this matter was like a choking thing. Before it was handled, he was really not interested in doing anything else. So he decided to return to Tongzhou immediately. Because there was another place that needed to be investigated, that is Boss Gao.

Gao is Gao Lao Er's brother, and I don't know if his brother told his brother about transporting the body. So Lu Jinping did not have any hope for this investigation, but this is the final clue, and he must investigate.

When he arrived in Tongzhou, Lu Jinping certainly didn't need to disguise himself. In the yamen, he sent two constables to send Boss Gao to the yamen for questioning.

Boss Gao followed the constable to the signing room and met Lu Jinping.

This tall boss Gao is tall and strong, with a fat face. As expected, he is a social slut, and when he sees Lu Jinping, he smiles all over his face.

Lu Jinping said: "I asked you to come. If you have something to ask you, do you answer truthfully, have you heard it?"

Boss Gao quickly agreed, stood with his hands down, and said, "What's the matter? Please give me the order."

Lu Jinping said: "Your brother was murdered, do you know?"

When Boss Gao talked about this, his face was full of sadness and said, "I just learned that I went to claim the body. It was indeed my brother. As for whom I killed him, I hope the master can make the decision for me and find out the real murderer to avenge him."

It seems that the people in the yamen have not told him the whole case, so he doesn't know that his younger brother was killed by the Donggua Head. Lu Jinping was too lazy to explain to him, wasn't this the main purpose he asked him to come.

Lu Jinping said: "I am investigating your brother's case, so I have to come to you for any matter. Have your brother told you before that he was entrusted by someone to help someone transport the body to the capital?"

Boss Gao quickly shook his head and said, "There is no such thing. Although my brother is very wild in the world and knows all the people from all walks of life, it is very easy for him to make money. Moreover, my casino business is also good. I can give him as much as he wants. I don't have to transport bodies for others. Therefore, there is definitely someone who spreads this matter. Please check it out."

Boss Gao's denial surprised Lu Jinping. Lu Jinping said: "Your brother has been murdered now. Don't you want to know the real murderer behind the scenes?"

Boss Gao jumped his eyes, looked at Lu Jinping secretly and said, "I heard from the people in the yamen that he had caught a suspect. He only found my brother's body after identifying the place. I wonder if that person was the murderer who killed my brother?"

Lu Jinping originally thought he didn't know about this, but now he should have known it. And it was told by the people from the yamen that people from all walks of life and all kinds of people in the yamen also talked about this matter to him.

Lu Jinping said: "Are he not sure whether he knows it now? He needs further verification so you need to cooperate. Do you know who your brother is interacting with?"

Boss Gao shook his head and said, "Reporting to Sir, I really don't know that my brother has his own business. He knows many friends from all walks of life. I just focus on my casino. I rarely interact with his friends, so I don't know what enemies he has or who he has."

Lu Jinping's repeated interrogation did not get more, but Lu Jinping could realize that Boss Gao was definitely hiding something, and he just didn't want to say it.

Lu Jinping waved his hand and asked him to leave. The whole thing was deadlocked again. He could find useful clues, reveal the mystery of his life experience, and figure out who was going to catch him. But now it seems that all the clues he could follow the clues were interrupted, and the next thing he could do was wait.

A few days later, Lu Jinping was working in the signing room.

Suddenly, the gatekeeper hurriedly came to report that a body was found on the water surface of the dock by the Tongzhou River.

Any unknown body found must be investigated, so Lu Jinping led a large group of constables and Min Zhuang to the side of the Tongzhou Wharf.

Tongzhou Wharf is located on the Tongzhou River outside the city. The passenger and cargo wharf is relatively wide and the water is not too fast. There are layers of bluestone steps at the wharf, extending from the river bank to the riverside.

There were wooden boats of all sizes parked on both sides of the dock, some full of goods, and some unloading them. At this moment, a corner of the dock was full of people, talking, and several constables were sweating profusely pushing those who were watching the fun, but the effect was not obvious.

The head-catcher shouted at the top of his voice: "The government investigates the case, and the idle people are waiting to avoid it!"

The onlookers immediately dispersed and soon cleared a large piece of open space near the corpse on the road.

Lu Jinping got off the carriage and took Ye Qingqing in. In front of everyone, he walked in a square step to a platform near the water at the pier. He saw a corpse, his hands and feet bent, and he lay on the bluestone steps facing the sky.

He looked around and looked at the two constables who arrived here first and said, "Who found the body? Bring him to me."
