Jin Yi Shi Niang (Detective)

Entering the restaurant, Lan Ying'er asked Lan Rong about the head of the Liaojiaxiang market, but Lan Rong said that he had to go every other day, but he had never met him.

Lan Rong thought for a while and said: "I go very early every day, maybe I missed the time with that old Taoist priest!"

Lan Ying'er nodded: "It's very possible." She looked at the dark night outside and looked at Wen Chen: "Do you want some supper, sir?"

Wen Chen: "I don't have the habit of supper." After finishing speaking, he turned and left.

Lan Ying'er stood on the threshold and looked at the handsome and tall figure, feeling a little lost in her heart.

After the hour of the next day, General Banner Chen Dawu led a group of people from Liaojia Lane back to the Jinyiwei Department.

Chen Dawu: "The old Taoist priest set up a fortune-telling booth for three days before the finals. It was probably after Chen Shi, and no one saw him again after that. I asked the people in the market, but no one knew him. But the place where he set up the booth The owner of a shop once asked him for fortune-telling, but the owner felt that he had a strange personality and seemed not to know how to tell fortunes. I went to eat a bowl of noodles, and taught the owner of the noodle shop a lesson, saying that the boss’s noodles were not delicious, and also pointed out how to cook them to make them delicious. Later, the noodle shop owner followed his method. The noodles taste really good.”

Wen Chen frowned: "It seems that he is not an experienced fortune teller, but a cook who is proficient in cooking." After finishing speaking, he marked the information one by one on the big white paper on the desk.

Then another day passed, and it was not until noon that the news came from the waiting mansion. After interrogation by the people in the waiting mansion, no one admitted to putting the bag of medicine powder in Li Zecheng's kitchen cabinet.

There was also news from Qin Shihai's side. People from Yuzhen Building and Qin Shihai's house had never heard that Qin Shihai knew any Kanto people, but Qin Shihai had the habit of going out alone, and Jin Yiwei did not find out based on Qin Shihai's trajectory What Kanto people.

In the next two days, there was no progress in the case.

With only one day left before the five-day period, Wen Chen nested in the wing room belonging to him in the Jinyiwei Department, staring at the case, puzzled.

In the past few days, he also sent a team to find all the qualified old priests in the capital, as well as the white-faced and bearded cooks, plus the Kanto cooks who can cook Kanto venison, none of them are worthy of the title.

The case is at a stalemate.

During the evening meal, food was delivered from the kitchen of the Ministry of Health, Wen Chen only took a look at it, but he couldn't eat it, so someone took it away.

In the past two days, he has not had a good meal. The case is one, and the other is that he did not eat the food cooked by Lan.

Wen Chen was stroking his hungry stomach, thinking about the delicacies cooked by Miss Lan, when he heard someone knock on the door.

"My lord, Miss Lan is here."

Ah Liu's voice.

An indescribable excitement welled up in his heart, and Wen Chen hurriedly said, "Go in."

When Lan Yinger came in with the food box, Wen Chen immediately suppressed the joy in his face, and cast a cold glance at her, then fixed his eyes on the food box, watching Lan Yinger take a plate of food. Delicate and delicious dishes are placed on the small table next to the desk.

Lan Ying'er walked to the desk while Wen Chen was eating, carefully read the case, whispering the words written on it, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she plunged into the case.

After seeing Lan Yinger watching for a while, Wen Chen suddenly took a brush still stained with ink and wrote bribery under the names of each of the five judges, then wrote bribery under the names of Li Zecheng and Qin Shihai, and then wrote bribery under the names of the five judges. A bribe was written in the position, a circle was drawn on the word bribe, and the five judges, as well as the names of Li Zecheng and Qin Shihai were all connected to the word bribe.

"grown ups."

Lan Ying'er turned around with surprise and looked at Wen Chen who was staring at her while eating.

"Say."

Wen Chen had food in his mouth, and his speech was a bit slurred, but he could clearly see that Lan Yinger must have seen something.

Lan Yinger: "My lord, what do the six deceased have in common?"

Wen Chen casually said, "Didn't you write a bribe?"

Lan Yinger: "What is the murderer's motive for killing the five judges and Qin Shihai?"

Wen Chen frowned, staring at Lan Ying'er closely.

Lan Ying'er turned around again, picked up a pen and wrote the word "death" next to the word "bribe".

Wen Chen frowned, thinking that Li Zecheng is not dead!After thinking about it, I suddenly understood, "Li Zecheng will be wronged to death."

"Yes." Lan Ying'er nodded heavily, "My lord, if the guess is correct, the murderer should have done it because of the word bribe. Why did the murderer kill people for the word bribe?"

"Wait a minute."

"My lord, have you figured it out?"

"No, wait for me to finish my meal first."

Lan Ying'er watched Wen Chen speed up his meal. Before he finished eating, he put down the bowl and chopsticks, picked up the prepared warm cloth towel and wiped his mouth and hands, then got up and moved to the desk, and stood opposite her. .

Wen Chen: "What can you think of?" There was deep expectation in his eyes.

Lan Ying'er pursed her lips and thought for a while, then said, "My lord, let's replay the case."

Wen Chen frowned: "The case repeats itself?"

Lan Ying'er nodded: "Yes, I'll act now." After finishing speaking, she looked around and saw that the things in the wing room were very simple, and there was no good substitute, but she went down and looked at the plate she brought. There are about a dozen flower sugar cakes, and they were originally intended to be eaten by Jin Yiwei next to Wen Chen.

Wen Chen saw Lan Ying'er walked to the side of the desk, stretched out her two paws towards the dish of sugar cakes, took out five of the ten cakes inside, and placed them neatly in the empty space of the desk.

"My lord, look, these five cakes represent the five judges." Lan Yinger put the five cakes neatly, regardless of the cake scum on both paws, and said solemnly, "After the finals, All the contestants left Yuzhen Building, and the five judges went back to their rooms, but they died of poisoning before they could drink a cup of tea brought by the waiter." Having said that, he squeezed the five pancakes with his two claws. smash.

Wen Chen frowned when he saw it: "You made the cake like this, how can people eat it?" Although it was just an ordinary flower sugar cake, he knew that it tasted great, so he felt a sense of recklessness.

Lan Yinger waved her hand: "Hey, if your lord wants to eat, I'll make it for you tomorrow."

Wen Chen felt relieved, and no longer felt sorry for that plate of sugar cakes.

Lan Yinger continued: "The five judges also died after eating the snow cotton candy, so when did they eat the snow cotton candy? Was it the way the judges went from Yuzhenlou restaurant to the guest room in the backyard after the finals? Because your investigation shows that they did not have a waiter to guide them during the process of going to the backyard. The five judges are regular visitors of Yuzhen Building, and they are very familiar with Yuzhen Building, so they went to the backyard guest room by themselves."

Wen Chen nodded: "It can only be that I ate snow cotton candy in the process."

Lan Ying'er continued: "Li Zecheng left Yuzhen Building after the finals. According to your investigation, we are fully aware of this."

Wen Chen: "But the scene was chaotic at that time, and he got in by some means. It is also possible that he ate poisonous snow cotton candy to the five judges."

Lan Yinger nodded: "It is indeed possible. But according to our inference, Li Zecheng is not the murderer. Then how could the real murderer see the right time to present snow cotton candy to the five judges and let them Eat them all."

Wen Chen thought for a while: "Interrogated by Jin Yiwei, none of the waiters in Yuzhen Building went to the backyard guest room at that time, that is, they ignored the five judges. The five judges went out to the backyard guest room through the back door. Only the waiter in charge of the guest room received the reception. Everyone can find witnesses for this matter. The biggest possibility now is that this person is not from Yuzhenlou, but this person should be wearing the clothes of the waiter of Yuzhenlou , in order to gain the trust of the five judges."

Lan Yinger nodded: "Well, I think I have to go to Yuzhen Building and ask carefully, has anyone seen any real faces appearing at the back door of Yuzhen Building before the judging poison, or wandering around the back door? .”

Wen Chen glanced towards the door: "Chen Dawu."

The door was pushed open, and Chen Dawu who was waiting outside came in: "My lord."

According to what Lan Yinger said, Wen Chen assigned the task to Chen Dawu, and asked Chen Dawu to bring a painter, if there was one, he would draw it on the spot.

Chen Dawu bowed his body and cupped his hands in response, and immediately turned around and walked out.

When the door was closed again, Wen Chen shifted his gaze to Lan Yinger: "Continue to deduce."

Lan Yinger nodded, and then took out another flower sugar cake from the plate: "This cake represents Qin Shihai. Qin Shihai went to Luan Yu's place in the afternoon, and your Jin Yiwei has confirmed that neither Luan Yu nor Mother Hu is suspected of committing the crime. And It has been determined that Qin Shihai died of poison after eating snow cotton candy after dinner. Then when did Qin Shihai get this snow cotton candy? Where did Qin Shihai go before going to Luanyu's place?"

Wen Chen: "After he came out at home, he took his own carriage to Luanyu's place, and then he asked the coachman to drive the carriage back home. The coachman has been taken into custody, and he confessed that he didn't know who gave Qin Shihai the box of snow cotton candies , but Qin Shihai hasn't been sleeping well recently, and he caught a cold at night, so he has some throat discomfort. And his family members have checked carefully, and no one knows who gave Qin Shihai snow cotton candy."

Lan Yinger: "Did Qin Shihai never go out when he was at home?"

Wen Chenjun frowned: "Qin Shihai has the habit of going to the General's Mansion next door to greet him after returning home." After saying that, he immediately yelled at the door, "Come here."
