Rebirth: Fu Jia Returns

Chapter 125 Investigation
A group of people arrived at the teahouse on the pier.

The boss and the proprietress of the teahouse had a very good attitude and cooperated actively, telling what happened that day one by one.

Even his dispute with the storyteller is not hidden.

At the end, the owner of the teahouse sighed and said: "He also often comes to our teahouse. When he comes, he just drinks tea and brags. There is nothing wrong with him. He is still a nice person, but he sometimes gets a little angry when he talks, but he doesn't care. It belongs to a poor family, and everyone quarreled and dispersed."

Catcher Xing asked a few more details about that day and recorded them one by one.

Fu Jia looked around in the store and asked, "Where's the storyteller, why haven't you seen him?"

The owner of the store hurriedly said: "Oh, he usually comes here at this time. In the past two days, he said that he was a little uncomfortable and his throat was a little sore. He always took medicine at home and came later."

Fu Jia nodded.

Jiang Li asked softly, "Do you think Mr. Storyteller has a problem?"

Fu Jia shook her head: "It's hard to say, I just want to meet."

Jiang Li is just like Fu Jia in his heart, and he also has doubts about Mr. Storyteller.

After all, the legendary stories about Princess Tianxiang told by the storyteller are more or less flattering.

The people in the capital are curious about Princess Tianxiang, but they are resistant to the Huoyi tribe.

Even if the storyteller is just telling stories, it's a little strange.

Over there, Catcher Xing finished his questioning, and the group went to the scene of the crime again.

Because when it was discovered, many people watched, the scene was severely damaged, and there were not many valuable clues.

All he could see was a lot of footprints on the ground and blood splattered on the wall, which was consistent with Xing Butou's judgment that he was injured and killed by a heavy object.

After some investigation, before everyone was about to leave, Fu Jia suddenly discovered something.

Just in the gap in the corner, there is a small cloth head.

The cloth is brownish-yellow, with thick threads. Fu Jia put it under her nose and smelled it, and there was a faint fishy smell.

"It's like the smell of the pier." Fu Jia handed the cloth head to Xing Butou.

Xing Butou observed carefully, and then said: "Yes, the material is the fabric of the dock workers' clothes. The smell should be the smell of the clothes of the people who have worked in the dock all year round. Come on, let's go to the dock to have a look!"

Catcher Xing regained his spirits immediately.

Jiang Li looked at Fu Jia's back approvingly, and was glad to have brought her here today.

Turning his head to look at the venue again, Jiang Li strode away.

It was time to unload cargo on the pier, and it was busy, with boats coming and going, and people buzzing.

As soon as Jiang Li and his party arrived here, they attracted everyone's attention.

A man in a blue jacket and a whip came out of the crowd.

"Dare to ask how many people, but something is wrong?" The man looked up and down at Jiang Li and the others' attire, not daring to make mistakes.

Catcher Xing stepped forward and said, "We are handling the case in Shuntian Prefecture."

The man suddenly had a smile on his face, bowed his head and bowed his waist: "It turns out that it is the adults of Shuntian Mansion, the young ones have eyes but don't know Mount Tai, please come from the adults, please!"

While talking, the man bowed to get out of the way, signaling Xing Butou and others to move forward.

The workers on the pier have no place to rest. When they are tired, they just lie in the corner to rest. Of course, they have very little time to rest.

But men, who are similar to foremen, will have their own small room.

Xing Bu raised his head and walked forward, and when he arrived at the small room, he saw that the small room was full of wine jars, reeking of alcohol.

The house was dark and damp, and there was no place to stay.

Jiang Li frowned and said, "Just outside."

The man didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly moved a few stools out.

The workers on the pier began to feel flustered, and they all looked here.

Fu Jia looked around and saw that most of the people were wearing brown and yellow coarse cloth clothes.

Because it was summer, some people were shirtless, with a white towel around their necks, revealing their bronzed skin.

Jiang Li sat down, looked at the man in front of him, and immediately frowned even tighter.

Fu Jia didn't feel anything, she kept watching around carefully.

There are a lot of people on the pier, about one or two hundred people, it is really difficult to identify the murderer from here.

On the side, Catcher Xing had already started asking about the details of the dead workers.

The man in charge didn't dare to hide anything, and racked his brains to tell everything he knew.

"Tian Laowu, oh, that is the worker who died. We always call him Tian Laowu on the pier. There were originally five brothers in the family. Because of the family's difficulties, the eldest and second child were sent away when they were young, and they can't be found now. The old man The third one did make a living, but last year he drank to death. The fourth child was a fool. After the third child died, their mother cried and went blind. The fourth child was a fool. I accidentally fell into the lake when I was wandering outside, and by the time I was rescued, I was already out of breath."

"The old lady and him are the only ones left in the family. Since the accident happened at home, this guy has become irritable. Because of grabbing jobs, he often conflicts with other people. I have told him several times, but he didn't What changes."

"However, he is strong and good at work, and he has a few capable helpers around him, so a few days ago, I said that if he did a good job, I would let him be the foreman. died."

Xing Butou carefully recorded, and the investigation situation of the previous few days is basically true.

"Then who has he had conflicts with?" Xing Butou asked.

The man in charge said: "That's too much. The workers are divided into gangs during their daily work. There are a few capable ones who are surrounded by others, so they will naturally grab jobs."

If someone competes for a job, those in charge are naturally happy to compete with them, so let alone urging them to do it, they will rush to do it quickly.

"Call over and ask." Jiang Li ordered.

The man in charge realized that this was the leader among them, so he hurriedly nodded and bowed and ran to call for someone.

It was almost noon, and the weather was very hot. The man in charge led a few shirtless people over.

Jiang Li first ordered: "Put on your clothes!"

Several people had no choice but to endure the heat, put on their clothes and walked over.

Only then did Fu Jia turn her head and look at several people carefully.

They were all tanned, muscular men who looked capable of fighting, and the suspicion could not be ruled out from the point of view of force alone.

Xing Butou began to ask one by one, name, height, age, and relationship with Tian Laowu.

After some questioning, several people said that they had disputes with him, but there was no enmity. Two of them said that they drank together afterwards.

All in all, there was no motive for killing.

The inquiry was momentarily deadlocked.

Fu Jia didn't have any clue, Jiang Li ordered the people to be evacuated, and the group left the pier temporarily.

On the carriage, Fu Jia lowered her head and thought about what she saw along the way.

A peeled chestnut was put into her hand.

"Huh? Thank you." Fu Jia withdrew her thoughts and thanked her hurriedly.

Jiang Li let out a "hmm" and said, "Don't worry, we will see in a few days."
