Chapter 12 The situation in the Star Observation Tower suddenly changed

"Do you need me to remind you some more details so that you can think more clearly?" Seeing the shopkeeper's reaction, Su Xuan continued.

Judging from the behavior of the shopkeeper, even if the shopkeeper did not know the inside story, he should at least have been at the scene and witnessed what happened at that time. Otherwise, when Su Xuan gestured and said these words, the shopkeeper would not have behaved like this.

Strong reaction.

"No... don't..." The shopkeeper squeezed out these words from his throat involuntarily, and the sweat beads on his forehead unconsciously increased a lot, almost flowing down his forehead to his cheeks.

"Tell me about it!" Seeing that the time was ripe, Su Xuan felt that it was time for the shopkeeper to tell the truth.

"But Young Master, I really don't know what you want me to say!" The shopkeeper obviously lacked confidence, but he still didn't intend to say anything more.

"One night a year ago, a young man brought a girl named Zhenniang to the Star Observation Tower and bought a ticket to the Star Observation Tower from you. Then there was a quarrel, right?

"Su Xuan saw the shopkeeper making his final struggle and still had no intention of speaking out, so she helped the shopkeeper make a start and described in detail the scene when Lin Wanrong and He Zhenniang arrived that night.

Although Su Xuan did not know the situation at the Star Observation Tower that night, with Su Xuan's intelligence and reasonable inference, she was able to restore 80% of the real scene, which is almost inseparable from reality.

Ten.

"Yes! They had a quarrel, but the girl named Zhenniang jumped down, and I really didn't notice it!" When the shopkeeper heard this, she naturally ended her sentence. Perhaps she was worried about being held accountable for this matter.

, as the boss here, she needs to bear joint and several liability, or maybe she doesn’t want to mention this matter and let her Star Observation Tower business suffer the impact of the death of the person again. After all, her business finally recovered.

But no matter what the considerations were, under Su Xuan's verbal pressure again and again, she could only tell some details of the incident that year, because she was at the Star Observation Tower at that time and witnessed with her own eyes what happened that night.

"Tell me exactly what you saw that night!" Su Xuan heard the shopkeeper being forced to tell the beginning, so she continued to talk to the shopkeeper.

"That night, He Zhenniang, the sister in charge of Yizhuang, was taken to the Star Observation Tower by a young and handsome scholar. She said she wanted to go up there to look at the stars and see the whole picture of Yuzhou City. The scholar bought two tickets and followed him.

My mother went upstairs.

Zhen Niang was very shy. The scholar wanted to hold her hand, but she instinctively avoided it. The old lady was too busy with business at the time, so she just thought they were getting into trouble.

It is common for young couples to get into trouble here, and the old woman is not surprised at all, so she naturally ignores them and focuses on her own business.

After a busy period, the old woman finally finished her work and was about to take a break, but she found two people quarreling upstairs. The old woman was worried that something had happened, so she went upstairs to check what was going on. However, she didn't expect that she had just arrived upstairs when she saw the real person.

My mother screamed and fell directly from the balcony. She died on the ground in a bloody mess.

The old lady thought that this was bad, people would die, and the business would be impossible to continue in the future, so she immediately asked someone to report it to the official!"

"What happened next?" Su Xuan asked immediately, "When something happened to the real mother, where did Lin Wanrong go? What was her reaction at that time?"

"The old woman only focused on reporting to the official and didn't think much about it. When the state officials arrived, she discovered that Lin Wanrong was missing! The old woman even said at that time that the bastard was not responsible!

But later, the official asked the widow to come over for an autopsy and said that she had fallen from upstairs. He then asked the old woman what happened before, and the old woman told her about their quarrel. Later, the state government concluded that it was a young couple quarreling, and the real mother was acting on her own initiative.

Jumping from the building led to the tragedy that day, and the case was settled like this." The shopkeeper continued.

It seemed that because such a big thing happened that day, the shopkeeper would probably never forget that night in his life. Therefore, with Su Xuan's constant reminders, the shopkeeper couldn't bear the pressure and brought up the matter again.

"Can you recognize the autopsy work that day? Who is the official who handled the case?" Su Xuan continued to ask. Now the clues in this case have been cut off here. If you want to know deeper clues, you can only find the coroner who handled the case that day and the police officer who handled the case.

Official errand!

Obviously, the shopkeeper had seen these two people with his own eyes, so Su Xuan asked the shopkeeper directly.

"Of course I recognize it. The officer handling the case is Lin Youtong, the head catcher of Zhizhou Yamen, and Wu Zuo is a mute from Zhizhou Yamen." The shopkeeper immediately said to Su Xuan.

After all, the shopkeeper is also a wealthy gentleman from Yuzhou Prefecture, and he is somewhat familiar with the government. These two people are famous in Zhizhou Yamen, how could she not know them?

Therefore, after hearing Su Xuan's inquiry, he naturally did not dare to hide it and immediately told Su Xuan the origins of these two people.

Anyway, she only cares about her own business and making money, and other things have nothing to do with her. She doesn't intend to help anyone cover up anything. She will honestly tell who Su Xuan wants to find.

"Was there anyone else present at the observatory that day?" Su Xuan continued to ask.

"No, I have said everything that should be said and should not be said. I would never dare to make up something that is not true!" The shopkeeper looked panicked, but he insisted that no one else was present.

"Thank you for your hard work, shopkeeper. This is none of your business. You can go!" After Su Xuan heard this, she knew that she already knew everything she wanted to know. It was useless to keep the shopkeeper here, so she immediately removed the shopkeeper.

It was released.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately turned around and walked downstairs like he was running away, fearing that if he walked slower, Su Xuan would change his mind.

"Huh? The shopkeeper ran too fast, didn't he?" Seeing the shopkeeper running away, Xiao Jing immediately said with emotion, and then looked at the stairs where the shopkeeper was walking down with a look of confusion on his face.

"Captain Lu, you should go to the government office now to investigate the mute Wu Zuo and Captor Lin Youtong. See where they are. Let's go visit them!" Su Xuan said to Lu Feng at this time.

You must know that these two people are on duty in the Yamen of the Prefecture and are considered to be among the top figures in the Yuzhou Prefecture. If they want to pay a visit, they must first understand some situations, otherwise it will be counterproductive and make it inconvenient for their subsequent actions.

, creating more trouble.

"Don't worry, sir, my subordinates will definitely take care of this!" Lu Feng responded immediately, and then left with one of his agents. Que left the other three agents with Su Xuan to protect their safety.

"Let's go for a walk!" Su Xuan immediately said to the small mirror. Since they spent money to come to the Star Observation Tower, there is nothing wrong with visiting the Star Observation Tower.

"Please, my lord!" The little mirror was asking for it, so she immediately made way for Su Xuan and said with a smile.
