  Chapter 307 Crispy Rice Cake (3)

   That Feng Shiling moved goods at the dock before he became the listing order.

"According to the porters at the wharf, this Feng Tong resigned shortly before he became listed as a porter who had been a porter for more than 20 years. Conflict," Lin Fei said, "According to the porters present, Feng Tong seemed to have known that he could be a city magistrate at that time, and the conflict with the steward can be said to be purely Feng Tong's intention to find fault and cause trouble .”

"Because he lived and boarded with those porters, if Feng Tong encounters something that suddenly makes him famous, it is unlikely that others will not know about it, and someone will always see it," Lin Fei said, " Although he has no wife and no children, but because he is lazy in moving goods, his salary is not much, he has no surplus, and he has no money at hand, so he has not many places to go, so he often stays in the moving dormitory. So...it is impossible for him Alone and in full view of all the people who made their fortunes."

  So, Feng Tong's fortune must have happened when he was alone.

   "He was on duty for a few days and nights a few days before the conflict with the supervisor," Lin Fei said, pointing to the days recorded by the clerk when he was questioning, and said, "These are the days."

  It was just a few days before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival. At that time, they were busy with the disappearance of the little lady in the city, so naturally they didn't pay attention to an unremarkable porter on the pier.

   "The location is on the banks of the Weishui River," Lin Fei said. Although it had been several months, it was fortunate that this happened around the Mid-Autumn Festival.

  The case of the disappearance of the little lady caused the officials in the city to focus all their attention on those missing little ladies, and had no time to take care of other things. However, because of this, many people were particularly impressed by the events around those few days.

There are many cruise ships on the Weishui River every day. People may not remember what happened four or five days ago on weekdays, but because of the special season of Mid-Autumn Festival, there are many boatmen on the Weishui River and flowers. The Hua Niang and others on the boat still haven't forgotten what happened that day.

   "According to many people, not only the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival was held in the city, but also the river was brightly lit. Because of the good weather, many people went out of the cabin to enjoy the moon on the deck."

  Some people spend the Mid-Autumn Festival on the ground, and some people like to enjoy the moon scene in the water on the cruise ship in the Weishui River.

"At that time, there were a lot of pleasure boats coming and going in the river, and the river surface was illuminated brightly, so they paid more attention to the moon and came here to watch the excitement from the bow," Lin Fei said. "I heard that when the fireworks were set off in the city, there were also people setting off fireworks on the Weishui River. When everyone was enjoying watching, there was noise from the cruise ships, saying that they had encountered a pickpocket, and asked everyone to help catch the pickpocket."

  So, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the little ladies in Chang'an City were lost, but the Weishui River was still catching pickpockets? Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu looked at each other when they heard this, and said to Lin Fei: "Lin Shaoqing, we didn't hear about this from the people in the government office that day!"

  That night, they worked with the government officials to handle the case, but no one came to report that they were catching pickpockets on the cruise ship.

Lin Fei didn't answer the two immediately, but continued: "At that time, an enthusiastic boatman approached with a boat and wanted to help catch the pickpocket, and the guard above who was looking for the pickpocket roughly described the pickpocket's clothes. It is said that he is dressed in a short shirt and a gray robe, straw sandals, and a sweat towel on his head, a man in his forties."

"The boatman heard that he was going to help find such a pickpocket, but the guards on the same boat came over and caught the pickpocket, so there is no need to help." Lin Fei paused for a while, and looked at Liu Yuantong who was looking over. The two Bai Zhu said, "The pickpocket was found in a blink of an eye."

   After finding the pickpocket, the boatman didn't interfere, and rowed back.

  Because it was just a trivial matter, the other party found the pickpocket again, and the boatman didn't take it to heart. If it was on a normal day, I'm afraid I would have forgotten such trivial things. It was only because of the case of a missing lady on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival that I remembered it.

  The matter was so trivial that even Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu didn't realize that it had anything to do with this case when they first heard about it.

  Until Lin Fei asked the two of them: "What do the porters at the dock look like?"

The faces of the two changed suddenly, Liu Yuan opened his mouth, and subconsciously murmured: "It is necessary to wear clothes that are convenient for work and convenience when moving goods, so the small porters at the docks are all wearing short shirts, because The environment is dusty, and the clothes are easy to get dirty. I wear a gray robe that is resistant to dirt, and because I walk around carrying heavy loads all day long, I need shoes. ..."

   Having said this, Liu Yuan could no longer speak.

Bai Zhu glanced at Liu Yuan, and took over the conversation: "That kind of clothes are sold in grocery stores that sell clothes for small porters, and those cargo ship stewards who have hired many porters to carry goods for them all the year round It is convenient for management, let the dock porters below wear the same suit, then Feng Tong was used to carry cargo for the cargo ship, then he..."

   "The porters on the cargo ship all had several sets of the clothes that were in charge of the incident," Lin Fei nodded, and said, "On the day of the incident, Feng Tong was on duty on the cargo ship at night, and he was wearing the same clothes."

  The clothes match, plus the age...Feng Tong can match this, this...could it be a coincidence?

  The last thing Dali Temple believes in is coincidence, unless after repeated inspections, it is determined that it is indeed a coincidence.

"First he shouted for a pickpocket, and when he turned his head, he caught him immediately. It can be seen that the opponent has a large number of people, and the guards are very skilled. It is easy to restrain a Feng Tong. Under such circumstances, it is Feng Tong who saw something wrong. It should be seen, for those people, it is easy to deal with a porter with no background..."

   After saying this, Liu Yuan's voice was a little low.

  Although what the Yamen of Dali Temple wants to do is to restore the world to a bright and bright world, they never dare to say that there will be a day when the world will be clean.

  To some people, the lives of ordinary Shengdou people are worthless, they can be killed and buried at will, so that no one will find out.

   Countless porters, handymen, and waiters in tea houses and pubs die in this way every year.

  Wharf workers like Feng Tong saw something they shouldn't see, and most of them dealt with it without knowing it. Why was Feng Tong an exception? Instead of being dealt with on the spot, he was made an exception and allowed to live. The other party borrowed Guan Mao to "promote" Feng Tong, and after letting Feng Tong live a "good life" for a while, why did he kill him?

   There are indeed too many secrets hidden in it, but the first thing to do is to find out who was on the cruise ship that day.
