The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

The owner of Yunlai Inn is a man in his fifties with a shrewd look on his face. He seems to be very good at business.

When Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi arrived here, they discovered that what a coincidence! Wasn’t this the inn where they stayed when they first came to Lijia Village?

The shopkeeper naturally knew the two of them. When he saw them coming, he immediately ran over to greet them. "I didn't know that the prince and princess were coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me, prince and princess."

After an engagement banquet, Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi became well-known in Lijia Village.

Xiao Mubei nodded at him and said, "Boss, no need to be polite. We came here today to find out about Du Pei's situation."

"Du Pei?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, "Isn't he dead?" The shopkeeper had something to do at noon and left the engagement banquet early, so he didn't know that Qin Shiyue sued Wang Youshan for killing Du Pei.

Chu Yunxi said: "That's right, Du Pei is dead, but it's not suicide, it's murder."

"He was murdered?" The shopkeeper was shocked. "He has no money and no enemies. Who would kill him?"

"How do you know he has no enemies?" Chu Yunxi asked, "Do you know him well?"

The shopkeeper sighed, "Princess, you don't know that Du Pei is notoriously timid and gentle. He doesn't dare to speak loudly to others, and he is always cautious and smiling to everyone. Let alone offending others, he doesn't dare to get angry even if others offend him. How can a person like him have enemies? We heard that he committed suicide, and we are still speculating whether he was bullied by someone and didn't dare to retaliate, so he hanged himself out of anger."

It turns out that Du Pei is such a weak and vulnerable person. No wonder he obeyed Wang Youshan's threat. Since there is Wang Youshan, there must be Li Youshan and Zhang Youshan.

Chu Yunxi then asked, "Did you know that Du Pei had sex with a guest in your inn?"

The shopkeeper didn't expect Chu Yunxi to know this, and was a little embarrassed. "Well, we actually turned a blind eye to this. If a customer needs it, we can't ruin the customer's interest, right?"

"How did it start the first time?" Chu Yunxi ignored the shopkeeper's embarrassment and continued to ask.

"The first time," the shopkeeper thought for a while, "it should be half a year ago. A few people from Shusha Country came to the inn. After they checked in, I asked Du Pei to serve tea and food. After those people had dinner, Du Pei went to clean up. As a result, he did not come down for a long time. I thought it was strange, so I went upstairs to take a look. Unexpectedly, I heard those guests teasing Du Pei, saying something like "Just give in, I will give you a lot of silver" and so on. I wanted to knock on the door, but I heard Du Pei say... "Sir, be quiet..."

The shopkeeper felt a little embarrassed to say this to Chu Yunxi, but he received guests all day long and had seen all kinds of people. He knew that he had to say it now, otherwise he would probably get into trouble.

After swallowing his saliva, the shopkeeper continued, "I saw that Du Pei had no objection, so why should I go and cause trouble? I quietly went downstairs again. Later, the guests from Shusha Country stayed in my inn for a month, and asked Du Pei to come over almost every day. Later, other guests asked me if we had any waiters in the inn. I asked Du Pei if he was willing to receive guests and earn money. He agreed coyly, and then I realized that he also enjoyed this kind of thing, so slowly... more people came to find him."

"What about the people in the village? Has anyone come here to look for him?"

The shopkeeper shook his head hurriedly, "No, no, we all know each other in the village, who would come to him so blatantly to do this? He is receiving guests here, and we have kept it a secret from the villagers and his wife."

It really fits the saying that there is no impenetrable wall in the world. With the soundproofing of this inn and the wind blowing from all sides, how could it be hidden? No wonder someone in the village came to Du Pei.

Seeing that he could not get anything out of him, Xiao Mubei called the waiter over and asked him again. He knew basically the same thing as the owner, so Xiao Mubei severely reprimanded the owner of Yunlai Inn and ordered that there should be no more erotic transactions in the inn, otherwise the inn would be closed down.

The shopkeeper responded hurriedly and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He promised Xiao Mubei to keep today's events secret. Only then did he finally send away the two big Buddhas, Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi.

After Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi left the inn, they went straight to Du Pei and Qin Shiyue's home. However, they did not enter Du Pei's house, but went to knock on the doors of their neighbors separately.

After a round of visits, the two got a new clue. In addition to Wang Youshan, there was another person who had also been to Du Pei's house several times a few days ago. He was the village tyrant of Lijia Village, Hu Min.

Village bully, it seems that Hu Min has a bad reputation in Lijia Village. Chu Yunxi remembered what Liu Laohan next door said when she went to ask him just now, "Hu Min, relying on his martial arts skills and recruiting some gangsters, thinks he is very great. He often goes to the street to collect stall fees, saying that he is collecting them under the order of the village chief. Anyone who dares not to pay is looking down on the village chief. Everyone dares to be angry but dares not say anything, and the village chief has indeed never cared, so everyone just accepts it."

Chu Yunxi said to Xiao Mubei, "This Hu Min must have colluded with Zhuoma. The two of them oppressed the people together. I don't know why he came to find Du Pei. It is possible that he knew that Du Pei was receiving guests at the Yunlai Inn, so he went there. His purpose was to force Du Pei to satisfy his own animal desires."

Xiao Mubei nodded, "It's possible. This man is so bold and skilled in martial arts, so he must have great strength in his hands. When the two of them were doing it, he was pursuing excitement and accidentally strangled Du Pei to death. It's very likely."

"Let's go to Hu Min's house now."

The two men and their men soon arrived at Hu Min's house. It was already very late and every household had lit oil lamps, including Hu Min's home.

Xiao Mubei knocked on the door and a young man with braids poked his head out. He looked like someone who was not to be trifled with. He looked impatient and asked, "Who are you?"

A purple-clad guard stepped forward and said, "How dare you, Hu Min, you are seeing the King of Dingbei and the Queen, and you don't kneel down?"

Hu Min also attended the engagement banquet at noon. He drank too much and was awakened by the knock on the door. He barely opened his eyes. When the purple-robed guard called out, he opened his drunken eyes and took a closer look at Xiao Mubei. He saw that it was indeed the prince who sat at the top seat at noon. He was startled and knelt down hurriedly, saying, "Greetings, Prince. May you live a thousand years."

"Get up and come in. I have something to ask you." Xiao Mubei was the first to pass Hu Min and enter the house. Chu Yunxi followed behind him. Although Hu Min usually exploited the people, he was instinctively afraid when he met a high-ranking official. He was a typical person who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
