Chapter 8 Clues
Shen Hao didn't expect that he had found a new idea after walking around, and he happened to be able to follow the meme of the three unknown corpses.
Previously, Shen Hao guessed that the three corpses who were killed to make up for the numbers were mostly some unlucky guys missing in Wuyang City. However, the news feedback from the yamen confirmed that Shen Hao's guess was wrong. There were only two missing cases in the yamen in the past month, and they were incompatible with the three unknown corpses in the Qi Mansion.
But the coroner made it clear that these three corpses that made up the numbers were actually only half a day earlier than the people in the Qi Mansion. Logically speaking, it should be the people in Wuyang City. Why was they killed but no humanitarian government reported the case to be missing? Until he saw the two homeless men at the oil tea stall.
The oil tea stall owner said "second-rate" and "very annoying", and even called these homeless men "local dogs". These reminded Shen Hao that perhaps only these local dogs will not be cared about by others, let alone anyone who is bored to go to the yamen to report their disappearance to several "local dogs".
Now, as long as you check among these "local dogs" whether there are people who meet the basic conditions for those three corpses disappeared in the past two days, you can determine whether this guess is correct.
Fortunately, Shen Hao was not wrong this time.
"Sir, it's strange that the other person who is about the same age as us didn't come today."
"Yes, yes, that man is called Xie Shan, he is older than me. I'm afraid he's 65 years old. He usually eats in Ci'an Hall, but he doesn't seem to have come these two days."
"Yes, it's strange."
Several "local dogs" who were eager to help Shen Hao find people were very depressed. They searched the entire Ci'an Hall inside and out but did not find what they called "Xieshan", which means that they probably wouldn't have the chance to get the money again.
Shen Hao was not in a hurry, but continued: "If you still want to make money, I have an errand here, will I do it?"
"Do!"
"Sir, just give me the order!"
Shen Hao: "It doesn't matter if Xie Shan can't be found, but I want you to ask who was the last time he saw him. In addition, I have to find two other people, one about forty-one years old and the other about fifty years old. Like Xie Shan, they may have disappeared suddenly recently. If you help me figure it out, these will be yours."
Shen Hao was holding a bag of broken silver, and the rustling sound of money inside was enough to get rid of these "local dogs".
......
In less than half an hour, the news came back, which made Shen Hao feel very happy.
"Sir, you are right. In addition to Xie Shan, there are two other people who suddenly disappeared. The man in his early forties was Chen Erniu, and the man in his fifties was Ma Jiu."
"And there is Xie Shan before, we have figured out the situation of these three people."
"Do you see..."
Shen Hao: "I don't care about this little money, but if you want to get it, you have to check whether your news is qualified. Tell me, what have you all found out."
The few people quickly poured out all the information they had heard.
Xie Shan, about 65 years old, has been in poor health and usually moves around Ci'an Hall. The last time he was seen by an acquaintance was two days ago, and he saw him walking towards the east of the city.
Ma Jiu, about fifty years old, likes to drink and exchanges all the money he asks for. The last time he was seen by an acquaintance was also two days ago on the morning, and he was walking towards the east of the city with alcohol.
Chen Erniu's situation is similar to the previous two people. The last time he was seen by an acquaintance was two days ago. However, this guy is lustful and likes to go to the kiln when he asks for money. Even if he doesn't have money, he often wanders around the kiln. Coincidentally, the kind of kiln that Chen Erniu went to was also in the east of the city.
"East of the city?"
Shen Hao muttered, then turned around and left, but the bag of money that contained more than ten taels of silver was thrown on the ground. These were the rewards that promised the "local dogs".
Ma Jiu and Xie Shan ignored it for now. After all, someone just saw them heading east of the city. It was unclear where they went, but Chen Erniu was different. This guy was wandering beside the rotten kiln in the east of the city for the last time. There was a very likely subsequent clues to appear.
Asked all the way, the kiln that Chen Erniu had been lingering is in Qingmen Lane in Dongcheng, a very dilapidated street.
The alley is dirty and messy, and there is a very strange fishy smell. As soon as you enter, you can see some women leaning against the wall of the alley to attract customers. They are all invisible and even ugly. People with a little money will not come to such places for fun.
With the black Taotie pattern brocade robe and the goose spine knife, Xuan Qingwei's identity is even more powerful in such a despicable place, and even has the effect of cleaning the streets.
But not everyone can escape, there are always people who are blocked by Shen Hao and cannot leave.
A woman who was in her forties and was thin with many dark spots on her face was stopped by Shen Hao, and she shrank against the wall like a quail, frightened and uneasy.
“How long have you been here?”
"It's been five months, sir, I, I haven't done anything?"
"Do you know Chen Erniu?"
"Ah? This... I know." The woman wanted to deny it but didn't dare.
"When did you see him last?"
"I can't remember it very clearly. It seems that I came yesterday or the day before yesterday? Sir, did that guy commit a crime?"
"If you figure it out, then answer."
The woman was immediately shocked by Shen Hao's eyes and replied honestly: "The day before yesterday, the morning before yesterday, when he came to look for Liu Damei, I ran into him at the entrance of the alley!"
"My sister Liu? Where is she now?"
"Just right, right inside the house."
"Take me to find her."
The so-called Liu Damei is indeed very big. She looks like a ball. Perhaps people with special taste can find the ultimate beauty.
"Chen Erniu? I came to see me two days ago, but I left after talking for a few words."
"What did you say?"
"He said he would make a big profit immediately and told me not to pick up customers at night. Bah, but I didn't see anyone until today, and I don't know where I died."
"Have he told you how he made a fortune? Where did he go?"
"Well... he didn't say what to do... By the way, he seemed to say he wanted to go to Fengyuan Inn to meet the boss!"
Where did a homeless man come from the boss?
Speaking of this, the person Chen Erniu wants to meet at Fengyuan Inn should have something to do with what he said to Liu Damei. If Shen Hao is not wrong, Chen Erniu was cheated of his life by this "boss".
After receiving the news, Shen Hao did not continue to waste time in Qingmen Alley, and left two pieces of broken silver before returning to Qi Mansion.
......
It was already evening when I returned to Qi Mansion, and all the fragments inside had been cleared by the coroner, including dozens of heads.
After shaking my nose a few times, the smell of blood in the air was already very faint.
"Xiaoqi, are you back? Do you want to get you a supper?"
"Well, please help me get one. I'm just hungry. By the way, where is Wang Jian? Let him come to me."
