The next day, at dawn, dark clouds covered the city.
Xu Tuzhi arrived at the Heavenly Fragrance Tower.
Since ancient times, the common people had never fought with the officials. Although the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant was a famous restaurant in Yunzhou, the manager of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant was very enthusiastic and cooperative when he asked to take a look. All the waiters gathered together and when he asked questions, they even showed him the account book.
There was no problem at all.
Then, this meant that the clues were cut off.
After leaving the Heavenly Fragrance Tower, he was very confused. At this moment, he was completely immersed in a fog. What did Wang Yuyan want him to help with?
At this moment, the heavy rain that had accumulated for the entire night poured down from the clouds. Xu Tuzhi turned around and returned to the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant to take shelter from the rain. At the entrance, he saw a beggar at the corner of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant. There was clearly a good place to take shelter from the rain not far away, but he insisted on staying where he was. He wondered if he was an idiot.
In the next second, his eyes widened.
There were two lunchboxes at the beggar's feet. They were very familiar. They were the lunchboxes that Wang Yuyan had packed yesterday.
Could it be…
He was a clue?
A waiter was called over. The waiter was very friendly to him. After all, this master had solved two murder cases in succession in the past half a month and was very famous in Tangyang City. The shopkeeper also reminded them not to offend this master.
They were doing business. Although the strength of the Heavenly Fragrance Tower was not enough to be afraid of this little constable, as the saying goes, the King of Hell is easy to deal with, but the little devil is difficult to deal with. They were afraid that this man would secretly trip up the Heavenly Fragrance Tower and ruin the reputation of the Heavenly Fragrance Tower.
In this day and age, no matter what profession you were in, as long as you were involved in a murder case, the common people would not care if you were wronged or not. They would always avoid you.
This was also the reason why the shopkeeper was so enthusiastic!
"Constable Xu, why are you looking for me?”
Xu Tuzhi pointed at the beggar." His food was given to him by you?”
"No." The waiter shook his head.
Xu Tuzhi understood in his heart. It seemed that his guess was right. This beggar's food was indeed given by Wang Yuyan.
As for why it couldn't be anyone else?
This was easy to explain. The food in Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant was very expensive. Ordinary people could not afford it. Those who could afford it were either rich or noble. They would not pack the food to avoid being ridiculed by their friends. In the eyes of these rich people, face was very valuable.
But just in case, Xu Tuzhi still asked,""Yesterday, after I finished eating here with that girl, do you remember anyone else who also packed food?”
The waiter smiled." Constable Xu, you're making things difficult for me. I'm just one of the waiters. How would I know about this kind of thing?"”
Xu Tuzhi's face turned stiff." I'm investigating a murder case. You'd better discuss it with the shopkeeper before answering me!”
Hearing about the murder case, the waiter's expression changed. He bowed and went in to look for the shopkeeper.
The innkeeper knew the situation and immediately gathered all the waiters. After asking them once, he personally went out and said,"Constable Xu, after you left yesterday, no one packed food!”
"Oh!"
Xu Tuzhi smiled." It seems like I'm overthinking things. The Heavenly Fragrance Tower has nothing to do with this matter."”
"Constable Xu, you are wise."
After bidding farewell to the shopkeeper, Xu Tuzhi went to the bun shop and bought two meat buns. He then placed them on the ground and dipped them in some dust before returning the way he came. When he passed by Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, he pretended to be generous and threw the buns to the beggar. Then, he laughed loudly and said,"This grandpa is happy today. I've rewarded you with this bun, so why aren't you thanking me?”
The beggar was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up the buns and thanked Xu Tuzhi.
Xu Tuzhi left with his head held high.
Then, he entered an alley and observed the beggar at the entrance of the alley. He realized that the beggar did not eat the steamed bun. Instead, he threw the steamed bun into a trash pile not far away. The disdain on his face was obvious.
"There is indeed a problem!"
Xu Tuzhi returned to the yamen and asked his two brothers to invite the shopkeeper of a tailor shop across the street from the Heavenly Fragrance Building.
"Constable Xu, why are you looking for me?”The shopkeeper was very polite.
Xu Tuzhi was also very polite. He smiled and said," It's nothing much. I just wanted to ask you. There's a beggar squatting opposite your shop every day. Don't you find it disgusting?"”
The shopkeeper's expression immediately became very angry. He said coldly,"Of course he was disgusted. I even chased him away a few times and introduced him to a few good places. It's not a place to eat and wear, but it's not a problem to shelter from the wind and rain. I don't know if this fellow has gone crazy from begging for money. He refused to leave no matter what. He said that that place was his Feng Shui treasure land!”
"I haven't seen many people give him money.”
"Shopkeeper, calm down!" Xu Tuzhi gestured for the shopkeeper to drink some tea. After the shopkeeper's expression returned to his usual appearance, he continued,"How long has that beggar been there?"
"One month!"
"Only a month?" Xu Tuzhi was a little surprised. Seeing the shopkeeper so angry, he thought it had been at least a year!
"I mean, he's only a month old. Before him, there was another beggar! The two of them seemed to have made an agreement. After he left, the other person came. When the other person came, he left. It can be said that the wind and clouds are unstoppable."
