Chapter 207 Crab Roe Noodles (1)

In the afternoon, people came and went in the sword shop.

The clerks at the sword shop and the sword-making master looked at the servants coming and going and couldn't help but sigh: It's such a rare lively day today!

The sword shop has been searched inside and out, and everyone in the sword shop is very cooperative and recounts what happened just now.

"One of the young ladies came to order a dagger half a month ago, and the name she gave was Lin Shaoqing," the owner of the sword shop said to Lin Fei, who came over to ask, "She came here with her friend to pick up the sword!"

"Her friend liked to look at swords, so I asked the waiter to serve them tea and watch slowly, and I went to the back to keep an eye on the master." The owner of the sword shop said, "I don't know what happened to them in front. I heard When the news came out, the two young ladies had already left."

"Those two bearded guests are new guests. It's their first time here today. I just stepped forward to ask them what they wanted. The two bearded men suddenly remembered that they had something else to do. They left now and will come back next time!" Jian The shop owner said.

Hearing this, the few guards who were following Lin Fei were immediately disappointed: From this, Master Wen's feeling must be correct, that bearded man recognized her!

But if this happens, this clue may be broken again!

There was no trace of disappointment on Lin Fei's face. After all, he was a regular customer of the sword shop and knew the rules of the sword shop very well: "If a new customer is coming, regular customers should have greeted you in advance. Has anyone told you this?" In what days are we going to introduce new guests?"

He introduced Master Wen first and said hello in advance.

The owner of the sword shop was not surprised by Lin Fei's question. He nodded and said, "I was about to talk about this." He turned over the book in his hand and handed it to Lin Fei. "There are indeed a few regular customers who said this." The new guests who will be introduced in the next few days are all here."

The owner of the sword shop circled the names of the regular customers who wanted to introduce new customers.

After glancing at the circled names, several sharp-eyed guards saw a familiar surname among them: "Is this person's surname Yuan?"

The surname "Yuan" is not common. In just a few days, so many people with the surname Yuan were involved in one case. Is this a coincidence?

The owner of the sword shop glanced at the name they pointed out and said: "This is the owner of the Yuan family who is engaged in tombstone business in the west of the city. Because they deal with such taboo things on a daily basis, many people in this business will carry some knives with them. , swords, blades and other weapons for self-defense and courage!”

The swords in his sword shop are of course excellent both in appearance and on the inside. As for whether they can kill ghosts and eliminate demons, it is not up to them. They only care about the swords!

The same tombstone business, the same surname Yuan...

Lin Fei raised his eyes: "The Yuan family whose ancestral home is Jiangling?"

The owner of the sword shop nodded and said, "That's the Yuan family!"

Lin Fei said "hmm", then pointed to the other two names he circled, and said, "Tell me about these two too!"

The owner of the sword shop was unambiguous when he heard this. He pointed at the names and talked about these regular customers: "This Mr. Mao has opened several painting studios in his family. I heard that he is good at painting beauties. He has an elegant and romantic appearance. I came to order the sword." Most of them are inlaid with jade, but I don’t mind whether they are sharp or not, and I am even afraid of cutting my hands. Some of them don’t even have an open edge, so I just like the look.”

"This Mr. Su is from the Xinglin family. Well, Jimin Hall in the north of the city belongs to his family. However, he himself has no talent in medicine. When he was young, he had a falling out with his family and went out to work. When he came back, his parents were dead. This Jimin Hall The old doctor Su who makes the decision in the folk hall is his elder brother." Since they were all regular customers, we chatted a lot while choosing swords. The owner of the sword shop knew a lot about him, "My elder brother is not as polite to him as my parents. Everyone was laughing at him for losing his ancestral inheritance in a moment of anger when he was young. He was going to regret it, but they never imagined that Mr. Su had already made a big fortune through his hard work, not as small as Jimin Hall. , but it makes those who watch the fun suffer a dumb loss!"

"I heard Mr. Su himself say that when he was young and working out, he once rescued an old wealthy businessman. The rich businessman had no children, so Mr. Su worshiped him as his adoptive father to take care of him until he died. After the rich businessman passed away, he left behind With a large sum of money, Mr. Su became a wealthy businessman." said the owner of the sword shop. "He sold his property, exchanged money for money, and returned to the capital. Then he bought a lot of shops and lived by collecting rent. Although he was young As I get older, it’s quite comfortable to be a wealthy and idle person, but I still have the heart of being a ranger when I was young, so I like to come to my place to order beautiful swords!”

Lin Fei nodded, pointed to the last circled name, and said, "Where is this person? What's his origin?"

"This one!" The owner of the sword shop only glanced at it and said, "This one's background is more famous than the first two. The lanterns at the government office lantern festival belong to his family!"

Hearing this, the officer on the side suddenly realized: "A member of the Jiang family in Qiandengpu?"

The owner of the sword shop nodded: "This is Mr. Jiang of the Jiang family who will inherit the family business in the future!"

The officer glanced at the name and said, "You can guess it just by looking at the name!"

Jiang Chengzu, the word "Chengzu" is enough to explain the status of this young master Jiang in the Jiang family.

Lin Fei nodded and asked the owner of the sword shop: "Master Mao from Kaihuazhai ordered beautiful swords to look good. Master Su did it for his knight-errant heart. Where is Mr. Jiang?"

The owner of the sword shop said: "Master Jiang insists that a gentleman should wear a sword to show his virtue and so on. It's almost the same as Master Mao, only not as flashy as him!"

At this point, the owner of the sword shop knows almost everything.

Lin Fei led the people out of the sword shop, but instead of handling the case as usual, he immediately sent people to bring the three people to Dali Temple for questioning. Instead, he went directly back to Dali Temple. As soon as he returned to Dali Temple, he went directly to Dali Temple. warehouse.

…

…

Yesterday, the sword shop was empty as expected. Although it was a bit regretful, Wen Mingtang was a little frightened when he thought of the smell of blood on those two people yesterday.

When picking crab meat with Tang Yuan, Ah Bing and others, Wen Mingtang couldn't help but mention this matter.

"If it comes from killing chickens and ducks, why would you bring a sachet to cover it up?" Wen Mingtang said, "I don't see those butchers who kill pigs, cattle and sheep wearing a sachet to cover it up."

"You want to hide it!" Ji Caimai, who was calculating accounts not far away, raised his head and said.

Wen Mingtang nodded and said, "I thought so too, but I didn't hear anyone come to the government to report to the government all day yesterday!"

This was a big problem. Either they were overthinking it, or someone had an accident and it was covered up quietly.

When he thought of this, Wen Mingtang slowed down in picking the crab meat.

"Don't think too much!" Ji Caimai coughed and said, "It's not like running away in vain. I heard that Lin Shaoqing and the others got a lot of clues."

Didn't you see that Zhao Youlai received the meal at the evening meal yesterday?

"Also, didn't you say that Miss Liang will come to the public kitchen today to eat noodles to make up for the bowl of birthday noodles for yesterday's birthday?" Ji Caimai said to Wen Mingtang, who was quite absent-minded, "There were many things yesterday, and Miss Liang left in a hurry, and there was no time for her to leave." Ask. You happened to be able to use the time of eating noodles today to ask her about the origin of those two beards, but she was not sure and avoided them!"
