Chapter 307 Crispy Rice Cake (3)

Before City Ling Feng became the market order, he was moving goods at the dock.

"According to the porters at the dock, Feng Tong resigned from his job as a porter for more than 20 years shortly before the market order. Before quitting, he even had an affair with the steward who was always trying to please him. "Conflict," Lin Fei said, "According to the porters present, Feng Tong seemed to have already known that he could be a city magistrate at that time. The conflict with the supervisor can be said to be Feng Tong's pure intention to find trouble and cause trouble. .”

"Because he lives and eats with those porters, if Feng Tong encounters something that suddenly makes him rich, it is unlikely that others will not know about it, and there will always be someone who can see it," Lin Fei said, " Although he has no wife and no children, he is lazy in moving goods, does not earn much money, has no surplus, has no money on hand, and there are not many places to go, so he often stays in the moving dormitory. So... naturally he doesn't You may find success alone and in full view of the public.”

Therefore, Feng Tong must have experienced success when he was alone.

"He had been on duty for a few days and nights before he had a conflict with the steward," Lin Fei said, pointing to the days recorded by the clerk during the interview, and said, "These are the days."

It was just a few days before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival. At that time, they were busy with the disappearance of the young lady in the city, so naturally they would not pay attention to the inconspicuous porter on the pier.

"The location is on the bank of the Weishui River," Lin Fei said. Although it was several months apart, luckily this incident also happened around the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The case of the missing young ladies caused the city officials to focus all their attention on the missing young ladies and had no time to take care of other things. However, because of this, many people were particularly impressed by what happened in those few days.

There are many cruise ships stopping by the Weishui River every day. On weekdays, no one may remember what happened four or five days ago. However, due to the special Mid-Autumn Festival, there are many boatmen and flower boatmen on the Weishui River. The flower girl and others on the ship still haven't forgotten what happened that day.

"According to many people, not only was the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival going on in the city that day, but the river was also brightly lit. Because the weather was nice, many people came out of the cabin and admired the moon on the deck."

Some people celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival on the ground, while others like to enjoy the moonscape in the water on a cruise ship in the Weishui River.

"At that time, there were many cruise ships coming and going in the river, and the bright light on the river surface caused them to divert their attention from admiring the moon and come up here to watch the excitement from the bow of the boat," Lin Fei said, "I heard that when fireworks were set off in the city, there were also people setting off fireworks on the Weishui River. Just when everyone was watching and enjoying themselves, there was a noise from the cruise ships, saying that they encountered pickpockets, and asked everyone to help catch the pickpockets."

So, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, the young ladies in Chang'an City got lost, but they were still on the Weishui River, catching pickpockets? When Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu heard this, they looked at each other and said to Lin Fei: "Lin Shaoqing, we didn't hear about this from the government officials that day!"

That night, they worked on the case with the government officials, but no one came to report that pickpockets were being caught on the cruise ship.

Lin Fei did not immediately answer the two people's words, but continued: "At that time, a kind-hearted boatman took the initiative to row close to him and wanted to help catch the pickpocket. The guard who was looking for the pickpocket gave him a general description of what the pickpocket was wearing. He is dressed in a short gray robe, straw sandals, and a sweat scarf on his head. He is a man in his forties."

"The boatman heard this and was about to help find such a pickpocket. However, the guards on the same boat came over and said that the pickpocket was caught and there was no need to help." After Lin Fei said this, he paused and looked at Liu Yuantong who was looking over. Bai Zhu and the other two said, "The pickpocket was found in just a blink of an eye."

After finding the pickpocket, the boatman did not interfere and rowed back again.

Because it was just a small matter, the other party found a pickpocket again, and the boatman didn't take it seriously. On normal days, I would have forgotten such a trivial matter. It was only because of the disappearance of the young lady that occurred on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival that I remembered this incident.

The matter was so trivial that even Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu didn't realize it had anything to do with the case when they first heard about it.

Until Lin Fei asked them both: "What are the porters at the dock wearing?"

The faces of the two suddenly changed. Liu Yuan opened his mouth and murmured subconsciously: "To carry goods, you need to wear clothes that are convenient for work, so the porters at the dock all wear short shirts, so The environment is dusty, and the clothes are easily messy. Naturally, I wear a stain-resistant gray robe, and since I walk around carrying heavy loads all day long, I need shoes. Most of the porters are short of money, so they wear cheap and durable straw sandals. …”

At this point, Liu Yuan could no longer speak.

Bai Zhu glanced at Liu Yuan and took over the conversation: "The grocery stores that sell clothes for porters sell these kinds of clothes. Those cargo ship stewards who recruit many porters to carry goods for them all the year round are the ones who sell them." For the convenience of management, let the porter below wear the same suit. Feng Tongxian was the one who moved the goods for the cargo ship, so he..."

"The porters on the cargo ship all have a few sets of clothes that were used to deal with the incident," Lin Fei nodded and said, "On the day of the incident, Feng Tingtong was on duty on the cargo ship at night, and he also wore such clothes."

The dress and appearance match, plus the age...Feng Tongjun can match this. Is this...could it be a coincidence?

The most unbelievable thing in Dali Temple is coincidence, unless after repeated inspections, it is determined that it is indeed a coincidence.

"First he shouted that he was a pickpocket, and when he turned his head, he caught him immediately. It can be seen that there are many people on the other side, and the guards are very skilled. It is easy to restrain Feng Tong. In this situation, Feng Tong saw something different. It should be noted that for those people, it is easy to deal with a porter with no background..."

At this point, Liu Yuan's voice became a little low.

Although what the Dali Temple Yamen wants to do is to bring peace and order to the world, it never dares to say that there will be a day of complete peace in the world.

For some people, the lives of ordinary ordinary people are like nothing. They can just kill and bury them at will without being discovered.

Countless porters, handymen, and waiters in teahouses and taverns die like this every year.

For dock workers like Feng Tong, even if they saw something they shouldn't have seen, they would probably have dealt with it without anyone noticing. Why did Feng Tong become this exception? He was not dealt with on the spot, but was allowed to live as an exception. The other party used Manager Mao to "promote" Feng Tong, and after letting Feng Tong live a "good life" for a period of time, why did he kill him?

There are really too many secrets hidden in this, but the first thing to bear the brunt of is finding out who was on the cruise ship that day.
