Detective Case of Black Belly

"Why did Mantangcai go out of business?" Wu Yuyan turned his head and asked Huang Xiliu, who was covering his eyes with his hands behind him.

"I heard that some time ago, the old owner of the full hall has passed the three-year mourning. The young owner of the full house, yes, is going to be called Boss Shen now. He thinks the decoration of this restaurant is tacky, so he needs to renovate it." After listening, Wu Yuyan didn't say anything, just nodded.

Another police officer who was stationed at the scene to maintain order led a person forward. It was the old man Ge who reported the case this morning. He said that he had just sold tofu and saw blood flowing out when he came here. Seeing a figure lying on the ground, I was so frightened that I hurried to the Yamen to report the crime.Wu Yuyan brought a small yamen servant back to the yamen to make notes.

Wu Yuyan ordered his subordinates to transport the suspicious objects and corpses back to the yamen for inspection. The white cloth covering the corpse did not cover the feet, and Wu Yuyan saw reddish-brown mud sticking to the soles of the corpse's shoes at a glance.He scraped some off with a dagger and wiped it on clean gauze.Ever since Fu Qing complained that he had wrapped the evidence with a dirty cloth, he always carried a clean gauze with him.

Wu Yuyan twisted the red soil through the gauze, the texture was very thick and sticky, Wu Yuyan searched for similar soil in his memory, but found nothing.

Wu Yuyan looked around carefully, turned around and walked out of the alley, and told Huang Xiliu while walking, "Xiliu, go to Mantangcai and ask them if anyone is staying in the restaurant, if they heard any noise, and pay attention to it." This red mud. I'm going to the Cangchun Pavilion."

"Okay." Huang Xiliu blinked slyly when Wu Yuyan mentioned Cangchun Pavilion, and made a gesture of holding orchid fingers and shaking the handkerchief.

Wu Yuyan was rarely amused by his strange appearance, shook his head, poked Huang Xiliu with the scabbard, urged him to do something, and took another policeman named Wang Yong to Cangchun Pavilion.

The nearest door of Cangchun Pavilion to the scene of the crime is its west side door, Wu Yuyan didn't want to waste any more time, so he simply called the door at the west side door.

It took a while before a sleepy-eyed boy with a gloomy face came to answer the door, glaring at them, but when his eyes met Wu Yuyan's, he immediately put on a flattering smile. "Wu Chutou, what kind of wind brought you here this early in the morning?"

"What time is it? Is it still early?" Wang Yong's tone was not friendly to these people who made a living by making a living.

"Oh, everyone knows that in our business, day and night are reversed, so that we can do business easily." The boy said in a tone.

Wu Yuyan was too lazy to talk, and walked straight in. The servant didn't dare to stop him, so he could only lead him to the inner courtyard.When walking around a corner, Wang Yong stopped, did not follow up, and quietly went to investigate what Wu Butou had ordered him and Xi Liu to do just now.

Wu Yuyan stood in the room in the inner courtyard of Cangchun Pavilion for a while, and Wu Duoyou, who was surnamed Guigong who always dealt with the government, hurried over.Seeing that Wu Yuyan didn't sit down or drink tea, Wu Duoyou cursed inwardly why he provoked this ice face again.

He didn't talk too much nonsense, "Wu Tutou, what can I do for you?"

"There are corpses outside the walls of your house." Wu Yuyan said lightly.

"What, what." Wu Duoyou was stunned for a moment, "Wu Tutou, this is none of our business, you know that Cangchun Pavilion has always been a place where outsiders come and go, and dragons and snakes mix together."

"Ask, is there anyone, did you hear anything last night?" Wu Yuyan was not surprised by his answer.Wu Duoyou heard the words and quickly gave orders.
