Chapter 393 Whole Fish Feast (6)
Although the moon has leaped to the sky, even in a capital city like Chang'an City, there are no pedestrians on many streets.
But the area around the Zhaixing Building in Furong Garden is still brightly lit, and none of the shops facing the street are closed.
Of course, this "lively" was just a last resort. The officers and soldiers with long knives stood solemnly. When the guard of Princess Liyang was cut and injured, the passers-by who watched the excitement knew that these officers and soldiers were not "smart". , Just talking, I dare not say more, I cooperated with the officials of Dali Temple to record the statement.
For most people, what they see is the same, or those who pass by here or go in and out of the Furong Garden on the opposite side, suddenly set off fireworks here in the Zhaixing Building, so they instinctively look here.
Some people focus on watching the fireworks, and they don’t know until they fall down the stairs; there are also people who focus on watching the fireworks, but they are lucky enough to see the figure on the top floor when the fireworks rise into the sky.
"It seems that someone stretched out a hand and pushed it, and the figure turned backwards out of the Star Picking Tower, and then..." The passers-by couldn't help but glanced at the corpse lying on the ground again, with their backs on their backs. The owner of the box has white beard and hair, obviously an old author who has been immersed in this way for many years, but at this time, he is examining the corpse like a novice at this time, while trembling uncontrollably.
It is said that Dali Temple handles countless cases throughout the year. Wu Bucai may have seen more corpses than people. But... Facing Zhao Mengzhuo's body at this time, Wu Bucai's hand still trembled uncontrollably, and the hand holding the knife grabbed the knife several times before he grabbed the knife in the box.
"Slow down." Bai Zhu walked to Wu Bucai and knelt down, patted Wu Bucai on the shoulder, looked at Zhao Mengzhuo's body in front of him, subconsciously lowered his eyes, and turned to the side, unable to bear to look any longer.
Calm down, he said shyly, "Finding out the truth about your fall from the building is the key."
If the body of Zhao Mengzhuo who fell from the building is the physical evidence, the pedestrians all over the street are the witnesses.
Hearing Liu Yuan's questioning to the passers-by who saw this scene, Lin Fei walked to the side with A Bing and Tang Yuan, looked at Zhao Mengzhuo's corpse with a compassionate expression in front of Wen Mingtang, and said, "Listen to A Bing, Were you there at the time?"
Wen Mingtang nodded, and watched him say what he had written countless times in his stomach: "The fireworks lifted into the sky, illuminating the top floor of the Zhaixing Building extremely brightly, and I saw that there was indeed a hand pushing towards Mr. Zhao, and then Then I saw Mr. Zhao leaning back and turned out of the Star Picking Tower."
Wen Mingtang was not the only one who saw this scene, no lies.
It's just that the suddenly lit firework light is on the other side. Although it is bright, it is not on the side where the group of people are. He was wearing a dark Confucian robe, and his body shape was not much different from his hair, so he looked up from the ground to the top of the building, except for seeing a few figures in the shadows and the movement at that moment, who pushed it? Zhao Mengzhuo, others can't see clearly what they are doing.
It's just that although they couldn't see clearly, the actions of those people who turned over Zhao Mengzhuo's body before were really a bit of a cover-up.
Looking at those who were standing aside wiping tears and crying "Brother Zhao", Tang Yuan pursed her lips and said in a voice that only a few people could hear: "The cat cries for the mouse!"
Tangyuan is not the only one who has this idea. When those people turned over the corpses earlier, no one stopped them. At this time, when they were summoned by the people of Dali Temple who came to question with officers and soldiers, the passers-by who had been on the sidelines were "neither sided". The whole scene was said.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they couldn’t help even if they wanted to. There are so many eyes all over the street, and most of them are just watching the excitement and being frightened by the officers and soldiers brought by Dali Temple.
Therefore, it is impossible to hide such things, so it is better to tell what you have seen.
Lin Fei nodded after hearing this, and then turned to look at the old servant who was wiping away tears.
Although these people had a lot to do with Zhaixinglou, Zhao Mengzhuo had an appointment with someone today, and with Zhao Mengzhuo's years of caution as the Minister of Dali Temple, he would not forget to talk to the people around him.
The old servant who drove to pick up Zhao Mengzhuo today said with tears in his eyes: "Your Excellency is here to meet friends, and before going out, he specifically told Madam that he would save a meal, because he only had tea and a few snacks, and he reckoned that he would come back for dinner. "
While speaking, the old servant looked at Mrs. Zhao who passed out surrounded by maidservants and women in the crowd, and couldn't hold back his tears. Mr. Zhao's children are not in Chang'an City for the past few days, they have gone out to see their relatives, so they don't know the news at this time.
Wen Mingtang and the others who were not far away felt sour when they heard the old servant saying "I want to come back for dinner" in tears. They felt even more uncomfortable when they thought of Lao Yuan who had an accident not long ago.
That bowl of rice is finally out of reach!
As for the friends at the tea party, the old servant looked at those who were also weeping, gritted his teeth, and said, "It's Mr. Chang and the others." several."
Lin Fei nodded, and then walked to a group of pedestrians who were specially assigned to one place by the guards, and asked, "Before and after the incident, you were at the back door of the Zhaixing Building, and you didn't see anyone coming in or out?"
Several passers-by nodded and said: "That's true. The street behind the Zhaixing Building is also very lively. Many shop owners who didn't have much business at that time saw it."
So, in this way... it can be confirmed that if Zhao Mengzhuo's death was not an accident, the people who pushed him off the Star Picking Tower must be these people who are still in the Star Picking Tower after the incident.
Unfortunately, today, Zhaixing Building was occupied by these adults. Apart from the staff in the building, there were only these few guests, and these few people did not bring their personal servants when they talked. Otherwise, the old man Zhao Mengzhuo The servant will not be absent.
Lin Fei purposely "eliminated" all the other possibilities before turning around and walking towards the few people who were wiping tears.
This group of people is not young, and the youngest among them, the one who yells "Brother Zhao" is no more than two years younger than Zhao Mengzhuo.
This group of people is not only old, but also their official ranks. Among them, the surname of "Brother Zhao" is Chang, and he is now the minister of the Ministry of Industry. He is from the Chang family and the Lin family. Fei had seen this group of people more than once in the Yasukuni mansion.
Once this case is settled, I am afraid that it will be difficult for my grandfather to deal with it! Lin Fei sighed with emotion, but his steps were not slow at all, and he walked in front of several people in a blink of an eye.
