Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 142 Meeting
Pei Ye walked over slowly. The hanging feet of the corpse were at the same level as his belly button.He looked up at this drooping face and saw that he had a connection with it - he was one of the three people he met in the forest that day.

The body's chest and abdomen were collapsed. He was undoubtedly the biggest target to withstand this horrific explosion. With just one blow, he had gone from life to death.

The window behind him opened outwards, and Pei Ye walked to the window and looked out. First, outside the window, there was the backyard, and after climbing over the wall, there were densely packed houses.

What happened in this room seems to be clear at a glance: the murderer pushed in the door, killed the man who was sitting upright eating and drinking with a blow like the wind of his palm, and then immediately pushed the window and left.

But Pei Ye walked back to the door again, leaving a pair of light muddy footprints here.

Mud is nothing. When it rains and the street is washed, there are always wet spots. When I looked down at the backyard just now, there were a few wet mud spots.But if there was wet mud at the door, Pei Ye turned out and saw no clearer mud marks.

Of course, the mud on the soles of the feet becomes less and less as we walk, so how come there are traces inside the door but no traces outside the door?
Pei Ye turned around and walked to Lao Zhang.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, I really don't want to embarrass you today." The man stood by the window, "You just need to tell me what the people who came into the restaurant looked like and what they were wearing when my brother died."

"Hero, I didn't take a nap. It's true that no new customers came in!"

"Then you mean he was lurking at other tables early in the morning? Who was there in the building at that time - who was at the single table?"

"There seem to be five or six tables here, and there doesn't seem to be a single table. I really don't know the rest."

The atmosphere was silent for a moment. The man looked at him quietly. Lao Zhang shuddered and said, "Gang Leader Wang, I, I really..."

"My brother came here to have a drink early in the morning, and there were not many guests in the whole building. Now that he is dead, you tell me that you don't know anything?" Wang Shou's calm tone did not change much, and was not as cold as Guanshi Chai's. , but Lao Zhang was panicking.

Pei Ye walked forward, and the man looked at him with a pair of eagle eyes: "What a coincidence - do you see anything? If you want shopkeeper Zhang to clear up the relationship, you have to come up with some information."

Pei Ye first pulled Lao Zhang behind: "If he knows, he knows, and if he doesn't know, he doesn't know. Why are you lying to me?"

The man said "hehe".

Pei Ye ignored him and turned around and asked, "Uncle Zhang, did you clean the second floor this morning?"

Lao Zhang was startled: "No, no, unless the waiter takes the initiative to clean it, but he is so lazy"

Pei Ye walked to the window and lowered his head and shouted: "Xiaoer, did you sweep the floor this morning?"

The waiter who was crouching downstairs raised his head, and his voice changed slightly: "No, I didn't sweep."

Lao Zhang said: "It's good that he got up this morning. In the past, he might have been lazing around in some corner."

Pei Ye nodded.

But since it was not cleaned, how could the mud marks disappear?

Unless the dirt and mud on the soles of the murderer's shoes are actually not enough to leave footprints during normal walking, and the reason why they are left in the house is because of standing for a long time!

Did the murderer have a long conversation with the deceased before taking action?
And during this period of time, the deceased continued to eat and drink as before, and did not escape or draw a knife?

- and then he was suddenly killed.

Pei Ye thought deeply, feeling that this process was too strange, but he didn't think about it for a while.

At this time, there were numerous and steady steps downstairs. When Pei Ye turned around, he saw the calm and confident Zhao Canjun standing at the door, followed by five or six shadowy men.

Pei Ye breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "Master Zhao."

The man next to him also hurriedly took two steps forward, stood and saluted, and said with a smile: "Zhao Canjun's style is still the same."

Zhao Fu first scanned the scene in the room from beginning to end, then turned his eyes to Pei Ye and frowned: "Did you happen to be there last time?" Pei Ye bent down and cupped his hands and said, "Sir, we met by chance last time. This time the restaurant owner is from my hometown."

Zhao Shenjun didn't look at him at all. He turned his head and pointed at Pei Ye at the officials following behind him: "Check him."

An official in green uniform and sword came out, bowed his head to Pei Ye, and came to the corner of the room.

Pei Ye walked over, but before he could stand still, he heard the person in front of him frown and shout: "Do you understand the rules? I will be questioned in front of the press and remove the sword!"

Pei Ye was startled: "Sorry!" He raised his hand and took off both the sword and the sword case.

The official took out a pen and paper: "Name?"

The investigation was quickly completed, and it was found that Pei Ye's background was naturally innocent, and he did not find any involvement with the Huxin Gang. In fact, he did come from the same family as the shopkeeper.

At this time, Zhao Canjun had finished checking the corpse and said coldly: "The murderer's methods are indeed ruthless."

Pei Ye was stunned: "Master Zhao, do you know who the murderer is?"

Zhao Canjun turned and walked toward the door.

Pei Ye was startled: "Master Zhao?"

Zhao Shenjun stood still, tilted his head and looked at him expressionlessly: "Get out!"

Pei Ye was startled and opened his mouth without saying anything.

"Chickens eat shit in the morning, pigs eat shit in the morning, cats catch mice and dogs bark at the door, no one taught you the rules? Who the hell are you here asking me all the time?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao, I just thought that there might be something I can do to help."

"I said get lost," Zhao Canjun said coldly.

Pei Ye pursed her lower lip, still bowed and clasped her fists and said, "Mr. Zhao, I do have a clue. I just want to help everyone catch the murderer as soon as possible."

Zhao Shenjun stood up, and Pei Ye immediately told him what he had just discovered about the shoe prints. After hearing this, Zhao Shenjun frowned, turned to the follower behind him and said, "Write it down, check it, check it."

After saying that, he went straight downstairs and chased in the direction of the window.

Wang Shou followed him downstairs. Pei Ye stood there in silence for a while. He wanted to take a look at the scene again, but when he saw Lao Zhang following him at a loss, he also picked up his sword and followed.

When they came downstairs, Zhao Canjun had left far away. Pei Ye looked at his back and suddenly frowned at Wang Shou: "Since Mr. Zhao knows who the murderer is, why don't you ask him? It's hard for the shopkeeper to do here. What?"

The man chuckled and said calmly: "Master Zhao is looking for the murderer. I'm going to ask the accomplices. What's wrong?"

Pei Ye looked at him and suddenly understood.

They actually knew where the murderer came from and didn't have many doubts about the case. At this time, they were just using the topic as a reference to the restaurant.

Pei Ye naturally knew that this matter had absolutely nothing to do with Lao Zhang. No matter how shivering he was now, Pei Ye knew that he was timid when he was pregnant - he never dared to go into the mountains.Now that I have only been in the city for more than 20 days, how could I possibly be colluding with some killer?

Wang Shou played with a ring finger: "Shopkeeper Zhang, you should hand over the clues to the murderer earlier. I think you were deceived by him and he won't do anything to you."

Lao Zhang just tried hard to plead for an explanation. He didn't know who the murderer was.

"Okay, then we have to check it ourselves." Wang Shou put the ring in his palm and looked up at the restaurant.
