true identity

Chapter 4 Ping An Inn

Zhao Ci, who was finally released, returned to the Ping An Inn under the escort of the guards.

The inn where the murder case occurred had already been locked, and the guests who had stayed overnight also fled after being interrogated.But the only good news is that the boss's asthma sound is less.

"Who is staying in the shop?" Hearing the knock on the door, the proprietress who had lost Xiao Hei had no choice but to open the door herself.Seeing that it was Zhao Ci, she was stunned for a second and then hurriedly dragged him into the inn to close the door: "What did you and Mr. Jiang go out for? What did he ask you, and what did you answer? Do you know the murderer?"

Zhao Ci threw himself on the table, blinked his eyes weakly, and said, "Miss Boss, I'm dying of thirst."

"Pour the water yourself." The proprietress didn't want to eat what he did, and took out a handful of five-spice melon seeds from the handkerchief with Erlang's legs crossed, and started to eat, with a look of non-stop.

"For the wages, for the wages, for the wages!" Zhao Ci got up and poured three cups of cold tea from another table to suppress his shock.Hearing the noise, the boss walked down the stairs slowly.Looking at the two people in front of him, the tea at the bottom of Zhao Ci's throat almost spurted back. He covered his chest, swallowed and coughed, and put down the teacup.

To be honest, when Xiao Hei died, Zhao Ci suspected from the bottom of his heart that it was the boss who did it.First of all, there is a motive; secondly, he discovered it for the first time at the scene of the crime. After all, there are countless examples of thieves calling for a thief.But the only thing I don't understand is, with the boss's emptiness, can he quietly kill Xiao Hei?

"Xiao Zhao, why did Mr. Jiang take you away?" Boss Hu's voice was slightly treacherous, which made people uncomfortable. Coupled with such a vain face, one could tell that the kidney gate was weak at a glance.

Zhao Ci put his slander away: "I don't know either, my lord may have his own intentions." With a ghostly intention, it is scary!If you see the turmoil and release pigeons, as an adult, you don't take others seriously.Zhao Ci was a little upset, but he was also glad that the turmoil came in a timely manner.

"Then did he tell you who the murderer might be?" Boss Hu asked.

Zhao Ci said: "Boss Hu, he is an adult and I am a villain. How could he reveal the news to me. But according to my guess, the murderer must be—" Look at the reaction of the two.But under the erratic light, the faces of Boss Hu and Mrs. Hu were blurred, their faces were covered with shadows, and their eyes were frighteningly gloomy.He was startled, and laughed a few times: "Xiao Hei can't hide his money if he has a few dollars. He is a gambler. I think he must have been stalked by gamblers."

"Heh, he is rich. He loses nine out of ten bets, and he doesn't know where he got the money to continue to prosper." The boss sneered, pointing out something.

Mrs. Hu, who was watching the whole process, vomited the melon seed shells. She ignored Boss Hu's words. After eating up the melon seeds, she took Zhao Ci's leftover tea to moisten her throat and got up.

"Hey, that's mine—" Drinking the leftover tea was too frivolous, and with Boss Hu still on the side, Zhao Ci didn't dare to look up at the cuckold's expression.

"Business has been bleak recently. It's good to live a leisurely life by drinking northwest wind in spring." Mrs. Hu swayed a few steps to the stairs, and the husband and wife faced each other up and down.

Boss Hu didn't give in, stared at Madam Hu condescendingly, sneered a few times and said, "That's right, I just have time, tomorrow I will take stock of our finances and see if we have any shortfalls that have been stolen."

"Then you go and take inventory, what are you doing here, as a mallet?" Before she finished speaking, she slapped Madam Hu on the face and interrupted her words.

"Thieves, don't think that I don't know what good deeds you have done." Boss Hu gritted his teeth, his pale face flushed a little, and his bony cheeks were swollen with furious veins.

Madam Hu caressed her cheeks and started giggling. She pulled Zhao Ci who minimized her presence, and then called Zhou Dongsheng's name loudly. Regardless of Boss Hu's increasingly purple complexion, she said nonchalantly, "Then you just say in front of them." Tell me what good things I have done, and let me learn a lot.”

Zhao Cicai wanted to persuade: "Madam Boss..."

Mrs. Hu interrupted: "My surname is Fang and my name is Yaoge. I have been a proprietress for so many years, and I am as happy as Yaoge." She squinted her eyes provocatively at Boss Hu on the stairs, and grinned mockingly. smile.

Boss Hu's expression really made Zhao Ci worry that he might die suddenly.

"What do you want me to do?" The curtain leading to the back kitchen suddenly opened, and a bald head suddenly illuminated the lobby.Zhou Dongsheng even walked out with a handful of garlic.

The pungent smell that followed made Boss Hu choke and cough.Zhao Ci hurriedly helped the old, weak, sick and disabled boss to escape from here and go upstairs to rest.

An angry Fang Yaoge was left behind and shouted: "Say it, say it."

Boss Hu is very self-aware, he has no face to refute Fang Yaoge face to face, and now he is lying on the bed with a bruised face and sulking.Seeing his weak back, pitiful and helpless, Zhao Ci wanted to comfort him with a few words, but he was scolded before he could say a few words.

"Damn, I'm really stupid." Zhao Ci knocked his head after being rejected. He still wanted to meddle in this kind of couple's affairs. It seems that the brain cells are really used up tonight.

He stretched and wanted to go back to his room, but sadly found that he was in a hurry to urinate after drinking too much tea, so he turned and went downstairs to use the toilet.Turning around the corridor, he was surprised that the downstairs was so quiet. He was wondering why the two people downstairs had suddenly become silent. When he looked around, he broke out in a cold sweat, and the two figures on the floor overlapped into one person.

Yao Ge lay in Zhou Dongsheng's arms and wept silently.

Zhao Ci suddenly withdrew his head, as if a big bell was ringing in his heart, and Jiang Yanyi's words "who raised the cat" kept echoing in his ears.
