Chapter 261: Suspicion and capture of double thieves

Fan Lou is blocked.

Cheng Yu sent people to search around, searched for several miles around Fanlou, and dug three feet, but still did not find the dead man's head.

What's even more troublesome is that, so far, apart from the missing Wang Er's pregnant wife who has been crying several times to inquire, no one has come to report the case.

That is to say, the dead person who appeared in Fanlou inexplicably was not only headless, but also nameless.

Possibly not even a relative.

Otherwise, this matter has already caused a lot of trouble. If there is no one in the family, there is no reason not to come to Kaifeng Mansion to report to the officials.

Cheng Yu was irritated thinking about this inexplicable murder case.

Although he put the investigation on Gu Yi in front of Mr. Zhang, after all, he is the sixth-rank official of Kaifeng Mansion who is worried about the king's salary, and Gu Yi is just a newcomer who temporarily came to Kaifeng Mansion for an internship.

Gu Yi couldn't find out the truth of the case, at most his reputation would be damaged.

But if Cheng Yu couldn't find the murderer within the stipulated time, it would be a matter of no guarantee for Wu Sha.

He interrogated the guests who were still in Fan Lou again, and none of them had any motive for killing, and all of them were famous figures in the capital.

Even if Cheng Yu acted impartially, he couldn't bear the resentment of these dignitaries being detained for two days.

He had no choice but to write down the names and addresses of the people, and confessed that he was not allowed to travel far in the near future, and he would accept the summons at any time, and let them go back.

Seeing Gu Yi who came with Master Gongsun, Judge Cheng's face was very ugly.

"Didn't Gu Sanlang forget about the Fanlou murder case? It's been a long day, and I didn't see you. Don't forget, you are the biggest suspect now."

Judge Cheng was right.

After all, the deceased appeared strangely, except for Gu Yi, no one had any contact with the deceased.

According to general speculation, he is indeed the first suspect.

Gu Yi did not defend himself, found Zhu Lingyi, and asked her for all the whereabouts of the storyteller Ye Ling on the day of the crime.

Since Fan Lou can remember exactly when he was in the house and when he went out in the middle of the night, then he must have more detailed memories of other people who entered and exited the building.

Although Zhu Lingyi was puzzled, she ordered someone to bring over all of Ye Ling's travel records according to Gu Yi's request.

Gu Yi was so grateful that he opened the records and read them one by one.

After a while, he pointed to a record on it and asked: "Does Miss Ye come to Fanlou so early every two days to wait?"

Zhu Lingyi took a look, and said with a smile: "Generally speaking, ordinary restaurants would not ask Lu Qi people so much, but Fanlou is different from other restaurants, what the guests who come to eat wine want is thoughtful and considerate service.

"And many drinkers in Bianjing know the cooperative relationship between Fanlou and Ye Niangzi. Many guests who come to Fanlou on two days come to listen to Ye Niangzi's stories. Therefore, every two days, as long as the restaurant opens, they will Make sure Miss Ye is there so that guests can be there whenever they are called."

Gu Yi understood: "No wonder Mrs. Ye leaves early and returns late every two days."

He pointed to a record on the last page: "Madam, do you know this record, Madam Ye left Fanlou for about half an hour, what happened?"

"Oh, it seems that her younger brother had a conflict with his classmates in the academy and fought violently. The master was furious, so she had to deal with the aftermath." Zhu Lingyi sighed helplessly.

"It is said that a gentle and kind person like Sister Ye has a younger brother who doesn't study hard, but spends all day in ganging up with cronies and friends to fight and cause trouble. They are not like siblings, but enemies."

Gu Yi wanted to ask again, but Cheng Yu was already impatient: "I said Gu Sanlang, why don't you go to investigate the case and ask Miss Zhu all these things?"

If you have the time, hurry back to the yamen and draw the appearance of that headless corpse.

Didn't the former son brazenly say in front of Mr. Zhang that he can draw the general appearance of the deceased based on the skeleton of the deceased?

Gu Yi smiled, thanked Zhu Lingyi, asked her for pens and inks, picked up the pens and drew two pictures, and handed them to Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu looked at the two pictures of handsome men and women, and said in a low voice:

"This man, is it possible that he is the dead?"

"No." Gu Yi shook his head, "They are the ones who appeared in Fanlou that day and stole the gift of Mr. Ding's birthday."

Cheng Yu was very disappointed: "Hey, all the lost property has been recovered, why arrest them!"

Isn't this a waste of time!

Gu Yi smiled: "Judge Cheng is wrong, and there is still a Shu embroidery picture that has not been found."

And this Shu embroidery picture is the goal of the two of them.
