Chapter 207 Crab noodles (1)
There were people coming and going in the sword shop in the afternoon.
The clerk of the sword shop and the sword maker looked at the servants coming and going, and couldn't help but sigh: It's really rare and lively today!
The sword shop has been searched inside and out, and everyone in the sword shop is very cooperative, narrating what happened just now.
"One of the young ladies came to order the dagger half a month ago, and she gave Lin Shaoqing's name," the owner of the sword shop said to Lin Fei who came to ask questions, "She came here with her friend to get the sword!"
"Her friends like to watch swords, so I asked the waiter to serve them tea and watch slowly, and then I went to stare at the master." The owner of the sword shop said, "I don't know what happened to them before. When the movement came out, the two little ladies had already left."
"Those two bearded beards are new customers. It's their first time here today, so I just went up to ask them what they want. Those two bearded beards suddenly remembered that there is something else to do. Let's go first and come back next time!" Jian said the shop owner.
Hearing this, the guards who followed Lin Fei were immediately disappointed: From this point of view, Master Wen's feeling is right, that bearded man recognized her!
It's just like this, the clue may be broken again!
Lin Fei didn't see any disappointment on his face. He was a regular customer of the sword shop after all, and he knew the rules of the sword shop very well: "If a new customer is coming, the regular customer should have greeted you in advance. Has anyone told you this? How many days will we introduce new customers?"
He first introduced Master Wen and greeted him in advance.
The owner of the sword shop was not surprised by Lin Fei's question. He nodded and said, "I was about to talk about this." He flipped through the booklet in his hand and handed it to Lin Fei. Those who want to introduce new customers in a few days are here."
The owner of the sword shop circled the names of the regular customers who wanted to introduce new customers.
Glanced at the circled names, a few sharp-eyed guards saw a familiar surname among them: "This person's surname is Yuan?"
The surname "Yuan" is rare. In just a few days, so many people with the surname Yuan were involved in one case. Could it be a coincidence?
The owner of the sword shop glanced at the names they pointed out, and said: "This is the owner of the Yuan family who is in the tombstone business in the west of the city. Because of their daily dealings with such taboo things for living people, many people in this business will carry some knives with them. , swords, blades and other weapons for self-defense and bravery!"
The swords in his sword shop are excellent both in appearance and inside. As for whether they can kill ghosts and demons, they don’t care about them, they only control swords!
The same tombstone business, the same surname Yuan...
Lin Fei raised his eyes: "The Yuan family whose ancestral home is Jiangling?"
The owner of the sword shop nodded and said, "That's the Yuan family!"
Lin Fei gave a "hmm", then pointed to the other two names circled by him, and said, "Tell me about these two too!"
The owner of the sword shop was not ambiguous when he heard the words, and pointed to the names of these regular customers: "This Mr. Mao has several painting studios in his family. Most of them are inlaid with jade, but I don’t mind if they are sharp or not, I’m even afraid of cutting my hand, some of them are not even opened, so I just like the appearance.”
"This Mr. Su came from a family of Xinglin. Well, Jimin Hall in the north of the city belongs to his family. However, he himself has no talent in medicine. When he was young, he fell out with his family and went out to fight. Old Doctor Su who is in charge of the Mintang is his elder brother." Because they are all regular customers, they chatted a lot when choosing swords, and the owner of the sword shop knew a lot, "The elder brother is not as polite to him as the parents. Now, everyone is laughing at him when he lost his ancestral foundation in a fit of enthusiasm when he was young, and he is about to regret it, but he didn't expect that Mr. Su had already built a big family business after all his adventures, no less than the family business of Jimintang. , but the spectators suffered a dumb loss!"
Lin Fei nodded, then pointed to the last circled name, and said, "Where's this one? What's his background?"
"This one!" The owner of the sword shop only took a look, and then said, "This one has a better background than the previous two. The lanterns at the Fuya Lantern Festival belong to his family!"
Hearing this, the guards on the side suddenly realized: "A man from Jiang's family in Qiandengpu?"
The owner of the sword shop nodded: "This is the Jiang family's eldest son Jiang who will inherit the family business in the future!"
The guard glanced at the name and said, "I guessed it from the name!"
Jiang Chengzu, the word "Chengzu" is enough to explain the status of this Young Master Jiang in the Jiang family.
Lin Fei nodded, and asked the owner of the sword shop: "Mr. Mao, who opened the painting studio, ordered beautiful swords for the sake of looking good. Master Su is for the heart of a knight-errant. Where is Mr. Jiang?"
The owner of the sword shop said: "Master Jiang insists that a gentleman should wear a sword to show his virtue. It is similar to Mr. Mao, only not as flashy as him!"
So far, the owner of the sword shop has said almost as much as he knows.
Lin Fei led the people out of the sword shop, but instead of handling the case as usual, he immediately sent people to bring the three people to Dali Temple for questioning, but went directly back to Dali Temple, and once he returned to Dali Temple, he went alone warehouse.
…
…
Yesterday, the sword shop was empty without any accident. Although it was a bit regrettable, Wen Mingtang was a little startled when he thought of the **** smell from those two people yesterday.
When Tang Yuan, A Bing and others were picking crab meat, Wen Mingtang couldn't help mentioning this matter.
"If it's the blood of slaughtered chickens and ducks, how can I bring a sachet to cover it?" Wen Mingtang said, "I haven't seen those butchers who kill pigs, cattle and sheep bring a sachet to cover it up."
"I want to cover it up!" Not far away, Ji Caimai, who was making calculations, raised his head and said.
Wen Mingtang nodded, and said: "I thought so too, but I didn't hear anyone come to the government to report to the government all day yesterday!"
This is a big problem. Either they think too much, or someone has an accident, and it was covered up quietly.
As soon as Wen Mingtang thought of this, his movements of picking crab meat slowed down.
"Don't think too much!" Ji Caimai coughed and said, "It's not a waste of time. I heard that Lin Shaoqing and the others got a lot of clues."
Didn't you see that Zhao Youlai took the meal when we ate evening food yesterday?
"Also, didn't you say that Liang Nu will come to the public kitchen to eat noodles to make up for the bowl of birthday noodles yesterday?" Ji Caimai said to Wen Mingtang, who was rather absent-minded, "There were a lot of things yesterday, and Liang Nu will leave in a hurry, there is not much time Ask. You just happened to be able to ask her where those two beards came from today while eating noodles, but she was not sure, so she avoided it!"
