Chapter 77.1
Jiang Zhou knew that Liu Lin had opened a new inn, especially since the inn was basically opened next to him. However, Liu Lin’s inn did not have the natural conditions and novel advantages of glass like his. It was just an ordinary inn, but it was next to him. The one in Jiang Zhou could be regarded as facing the entire small river, and the scenery was very good. When there was no room for accommodation in Jiang Zhou, some people chose that side.
Now that it was suddenly involved, Jiang Zhou suddenly understood a little bit.
But Liu Chengfeng frowned: “What does this have to do with this case? Tell me more.”
Zhuo Bang had heard about this because Jiang Zhou often discussed the construction of the town with him, and he thought Liu Chengfeng knew about it. Wanting to protect him, he said: “Is there anything I can’t say? Everyday things that are abnormal have to be brought up. You can’t be biased just because Liu Lin is your brother-in-law, right?”
Liu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows.
With a sudden jump, he didn’t know that Liu Lin had opened an inn to compete with Jiang Zhou for business. He only knew that Liu Lin had not been out much since he returned home and only kept himself at home. Liu Chengfeng thought he was embarrassed and unwilling to go out.
Who would have thought that he would open an inn?
He couldn’t help but think of Liu Lin’s crime of deceiving Jiang Zhou for money a few years ago, and the subsequent taxes. He also thought that the murder occurred in Jiang Zhou’s inn, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Obviously, Liu Lin’s affairs were kept secret from Liu Chengfeng. Others thought he knew something about it. When they heard what the scholar tour guide said, they all had some thoughts in their hearts. They just didn’t want to offend anyone. They all saw it.
They didn’t speak, and Jiang Zhou looked at Zhuo Bang.
Naturally, Zhuo Bang would not let this matter go by like this. He and Jiang Zhou were trying to build this tourist town with the intention of making a name for themselves and achieving results. The death of a person was a big deal, so he made up his mind to punish the culprit severely. Naturally, he wouldn’t miss any possible news.
In addition, Liu Chengfeng and Liu Lin were related, so he took over the case with full authority. The first thing he had to do was to find the murder weapon.
Fortunately, Blacksmith Li’s brother was a thrifty man. He always had a plan, fearing that Blacksmith Li would not be able to remember the money at home, so he kept a small notebook to record his daily expenses, but now it was just the evidence.
Zhuo Bang took one look and asked all five families to go to court.
Jiang Zhou frowned. There was no Liu Lin among them. Could it be that he guessed wrong?
This case was quite a big deal. Everyone was paying attention to the progress of the case, and it was related to themselves. Four of the families were already watching. They were afraid that the murder case would be related to them, so they hurriedly brought their iron tools. One look, and they knew it wasn’t them.
Only one of them, a scoundrel who was accustomed to doing nothing, came empty-handed.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on him.
The scoundrel knew that the murder was related to him, so he panicked and knelt on the ground trembling.
Zhuo Bang glared: “Where is your ironware?”
The scoundrel was about to cry but had no tears: “Come back to the master, my ironware was stolen some time ago. It was not found yet.”
“Just tell me, how did your ironware get stolen and a murder happening in the same week?”
The scoundrel looked innocent: “Sir, I really didn’t know. This murder case has nothing to do with me. My ironware was just finished and taken home a few days ago, but I didn’t it away yet. It was stolen. I complained to my neighbor at that time. If you don’t believe me, you can ask my neighbor Aunt Zhu.”
A short woman came out of the crowd and said, “Sir, it is indeed true. He complained to me just two days ago. The ironware has disappeared. At that time, the ironware was worth a lot of money.”@@@@
