Chapter 8 Clue

Shen Hao didn't expect that he actually found a new clue when he came out for a walk, and he happened to connect with the stalk of the three unknown corpses.

Previously, Shen Hao guessed that the three corpses who were killed to make up the number were probably a few unlucky people who disappeared in Wuyang City. However, the news from the yamen confirmed that Shen Hao's guess was wrong. There were only two disappearance cases in the yamen in recent months, and they did not match up with the three unnamed corpses in the Qi mansion.

But Wu Zuo made it clear that these three corpses were actually only half a day earlier than the people in the Qi Mansion. It stands to reason that they should also be the people in Wuyang City. Why didn't the Humane Yamen report their disappearance after they were killed? Until he saw the two homeless men at the oil tea stand.

The camellia stall owner mentioned "bumps" and "very annoying" in his words, and even called these homeless people "earth dogs". Not to mention who would go to the Yamen to report the disappearance of a few "earth dogs" in their idleness.

Now, as long as you check among these "earth dogs" whether there are people who meet the basic requirements of the three corpses who have disappeared in the past two days, you can confirm whether this guess is correct.

Fortunately, Shen Hao guessed right this time.

"My lord, it is very strange that the other person who is about our age did not come today."

"That's right, that man's name is Xie Shan, he's a bit older than me, he's probably sixty-five years old, he usually eats in Ci'an Hall, but he doesn't seem to be here these two days."

"Yeah, it's weird."

The few "earth dogs" who were eager to help Shen Hao find someone were very depressed. They searched the entire Ci'an Hall inside and out but couldn't find the "Xie Shan" they called, which meant that they were very sad. There may be no chance to get silver again.

Shen Hao was not in a hurry, but continued: "If you still want to earn money, I still have a job here, do you want to do it?"

"Do!"

"My lord, just do what you say!"

Shen Hao: "It doesn't matter if Xie Shan can't be found, but I want you to ask when and where anyone saw him for the last time. In addition, I still need to find two other people, a forty-one-year-old Around, one is around fifty years old, like Xie Shan, they probably disappeared suddenly recently, if you help me figure it out, these will belong to you."

Shen Hao was shaking a bag of broken silver, just the sound of the rustling money inside was enough to give these "earth dogs" blood.

In less than half an hour, the news came back, which immediately put Shen Hao in a good mood.

"My lord, you are right. Apart from Xie Shan, there are indeed two people who suddenly disappeared. The man in his early forties is called Chen Erniu, and the man in his fifties is called Ma Jiu."

"As well as Xie Shan before, we have figured out the situation of these three people."

"Do you think so"

Shen Hao: "I don't care about this little money, but if you want to get it, you have to see if your news is up to standard. Tell me, what have you all found out."

A few people quickly poured out all the news they had inquired.

Xie Shan, about sixty-five years old, has always been in poor health, and usually spends his activities near Ci'an Hall. The last time I was seen by an acquaintance was two mornings ago, and I saw him walking towards the east of the city.

Ma Jiu, about fifty years old, likes to drink, and drinks all the money he asks for. The last time I was seen by an acquaintance was also two mornings ago, walking towards the east of the city reeking of alcohol.

Chen Erniu's situation is similar to the previous two, the last time he was seen by an acquaintance was two mornings ago, but this guy is lustful, he likes to go to the brothel when he asks for money, and even if he has no money, he often hangs around the brothel. Coincidentally, the kiln that Chen Erniu went to was also in the east of the city.

"East of the city?"

Shen Hao muttered, then turned around and left, but he threw the money bag containing more than ten taels of silver on the ground. These were the rewards promised to the "earth dogs".

Ma Jiu and Xie Shan don't care about it for now. After all, they were only seen going to the east of the city. It is not clear where they went, but Chen Erniu is different. The last time this guy was seen was in a crappy brothel in the east of the city. Dangling around, it is very likely that there will be follow-up clues.

Asking along the way, the kiln that Chen Erniu lingered on was in Qingmen Lane in Dongcheng, a very dilapidated street.

The alley was dirty and had a strange stench. As soon as you entered, you could see some women leaning against the wall of the alley to solicit customers. They were all ugly, even ugly. People with a little money would not come to this kind of place to have fun.

The black brocade gown with gluttonous patterns and the goose spine knife, Xuan Qingwei's identity is even more fierce in such a dirty place, and even has the effect of cleaning the streets.

But not everyone can escape, there are always people who are blocked by Shen Hao and cannot escape.

A thin woman in her forties with a lot of dark spots on her face was stopped by Shen Hao, huddled against the wall like a quail, terrified.

"How long have you been here?"

"Five, five months, my lord, I, have I done nothing wrong?"

"Do you know Chen Erniu?"

"Ah? I know you." The woman wanted to deny it but didn't dare.

"When was the last time you saw him?"

"I can't remember clearly, it seems like it was yesterday or the day before yesterday? My lord, did that guy commit a crime?"

"Think about it before answering."

The woman was stunned by Shen Hao's eyes, and she replied honestly: "The day before yesterday, it was the morning before yesterday, when he came to look for sister Liu, I bumped into him at the alley!"

"Sister Liu? Where is she now?"

"It's right there, right in the inner room."

"Take me to her."

The so-called Big Sister Liu is indeed very big, and she looks as fat as a ball. Perhaps people with special tastes can find the ultimate beauty in it.

"Chen Erniu? You came to see me two days ago, but left after chatting a few words."

"What did you say?"

"He said he could make a lot of money right away, and told me not to pick up customers at night and wait for him. Pooh, but I haven't seen anyone until today, and I don't know where I died."

"Did he tell you how he made his fortune? Where did he go?"

"Well, he didn't say what he was going to do. By the way, he seemed to say that he would go to Fengyuan Inn to meet the boss!"

Where does a bum get a boss from?

In this way, the person Chen Erniu wanted to meet at Fengyuan Inn should have something to do with what he told Sister Liu to "make a fortune". If Shen Hao's guess is correct, Chen Erniu was cheated out of his life by this "boss".

After getting the news, Shen Hao didn't waste any more time in Qingmen Alley, and returned to Qi Mansion after leaving two pieces of silver.

It was already dusk when we returned to Qi Mansion, and all the bits and pieces inside had been cleaned up by Zuo Zuo, including those dozens of human heads.

After shaking his nose a few times, the smell of blood in the air has faded.

"Xiao Qi, are you back? Want to get you some dinner?"

"Well, get me some. I'm hungry too. By the way, where is Wang Jian? Ask him to come and find me."

"Good little flag."
