After eating, Shen Yu counted the time and left with Pei Chunli.
After walking out of Shiyue Pavilion, the waiter came out of the alley next to it. It seemed that the things were still there.
It was already dark, and there were far fewer people on the street.
Fortunately, there is no curfew, so I can move around freely.
The waiter's brother's name is Sanfu. He lives in an inconspicuous inn in central Beijing. This type of inn is very popular with people coming to Beijing from all over the country. The price is right and the location is good.
When they arrived at the inn, Sanfu took the two of them to a room in the backyard.
"The things put here are all the things that guests left behind when they stayed in the hotel," Sanfu said. "Sometimes the guests come back to pick them up. Sometimes they just leave them here if they don't come. When the time comes, they throw them away before anyone picks them up."
Walking around the shelves, Sanfu pointed to one of the rows and said, "Here, this is their stuff, it's all here."
Shen Yu picked up the dagger and gently opened one baggage, then the second, then the third...
I quickly discovered something was wrong.
Shen Yu turned around, looked at Sanfu and asked, "What do those people look like?"
Sanfu recalled for a while and said: "There were four people in total, three of them looked to be in their thirties, and one was older, but they were all very tall. They were so tall."
As he spoke, he made some gestures on his body. His height was about half a head higher than Sanfu's.
"That physique is very strong, like..."
Shen Yu said: "Like Lian Jiazi?"
"Yes!" Sanfu said firmly: "They all look fierce, look like they are not easy to mess with, speak very vulgarly, and yell at the guys all the time."
Shen Yu frowned.
This is strange. A few people who don't sound like they are easy to bully would actually go to Beijing to file a complaint? According to common sense, others should sue them.
Shen Yu's thoughts changed, "I heard that someone came to steal before?"
Sanfu had heard about this generous young master from his younger brother Sixi, and thought that this good thing was finally his turn today.
So he quickly replied: "I was robbed."
"Only these few bags have been turned over?"
"Yes, just these few."
"Did you lose something?"
Just when Si Xi wanted to interrupt, Shen Yu blocked her with a look.
"No." Sanfu replied.
Shen Yu asked: "Why are you so sure?"
"Young master, you don't know something." Sanfu said, bending slightly, "I checked these things before putting them in. I'm sure nothing was lost."
"you sure?"
"Sure!"
Shen Yu stared into Sanfu's eyes, "But there are clearly missing items here."
Sanfu's eyebrows twitched, "Master, Master, what do you mean?"
Shen Yu picked up something in the baggage with a dagger and threw it on Sanfu.
Sanfu answered in a panic and asked in confusion: "What is this?"
"Arm binding." Shen Yu said: "Although it is not made of fine iron, it is not an ordinary object. It is normal for ordinary people to miss it."
"This..." Sanfu asked, holding his arms, "But what does this have to do with whether I lost something or not?"
Shen Yu's eyes were sharp, "Look carefully at the arm binding. There are knife marks of varying depths on it, and the degree of wear and tear on the leather rope shows that this arm binding has been used for a long time. You said they looked like they were practicing Jiazi, this fits perfectly.”
Sanfu looked at the arm binding and found that it was indeed correct. The leather rope was so worn that it was almost broken.
Si Xi was confused when she heard this, "What does that have to do with losing things?"
Shen Yu turned the dagger in her hand, "Since you are a martial arts practitioner, you should be carrying a sword on your body."
Sanfu's face suddenly turned pale.
Shen Yu glanced at his face, "That's right?"
Sanfu said nervously: "I did come with a knife, but I took it all with me when I left the next day."
"Really?" Shen Yu smiled, "Who would bring a knife when they go to sue the emperor?"
"Maybe I didn't go out that day to complain." Cold sweat broke out on Sanfu's back.
Shen Yu: "It's also possible."
Sanfu reluctantly relaxed, and then heard the young master in front of him ask again.
"But since you brought a knife, why did you forget the arm bindings?"
Si Xi suddenly understood.
This brother of his has a habit of stealing things. Most of the time he steals things from someone's baggage when the guests don't come back. This is obviously not the first time this has happened.
Sixi slapped Sanfu and became a little worried, "What lie did you tell in front of the young master? What happened?"
Sanfu glanced at Shen Yu nervously, "I..."
"Don't worry." Shen Yu said slowly: "If you tell the truth, I won't arrest you and go to the government. But as long as I find even one word of lies, be careful with your tongue. I don't like to listen to lies." ”
Sanfu swallowed his saliva, walked to the door and looked around to make sure no one came back. Then he lowered his voice and said, "They did not bring the knife with them when they left. I stole the knife."
Shen Yu guessed that it was probably Sanfu who didn't know the goods and didn't realize that the arm binding could be sold for some money.
"Where's the knife?"
"Sell, sell." Sanfu stuttered.
Shen Yu asked coldly: "Since you said that they are all vicious and difficult to deal with, and you dare to steal and sell their things, aren't you afraid that they will come back to you?"
Sanfu was so nervous that he didn't know how to speak.
Shen Yu approached step by step, "Because you were sure that they would never come back, that's why you dared to be so unscrupulous. Did you kill them?"
Sanfu shouted: "I didn't!"
Si Xi quickly covered his mouth, "Please keep your voice down and speak quickly! What's going on?"
Shen Yu was generous with her money. In just a few months, Si Xi was able to make money that she had not been able to earn in years. Si Xi already recognized him as her master in her heart. She followed the master, so there was no need to worry about not having money to spend.
Thinking of the scenes he had seen, Sanfu's legs and feet became weak and he sat in the corner holding on to the shelf.
He murmured: "It's not me, it's too, too terrible."
"Sir, I'm watching at the door." Sixi said and walked to the door, staring at the movement outside through the crack in the door.
Shen Yu knelt down in front of Sanfu, "Tell me, from beginning to end, every word."
Sanfu raised his head and looked at the rafters, squeezing out a few vague words from his throat, "That night..."
Part of Sanfu didn't lie. Those people did come to Beijing to complain, but he didn't finish what he said.
Sanfu likes to steal, but he is not greedy. Even if he touches the guest's money bag, he only steals a few pieces of silver, so that he is not easily discovered.
That night Sanfu was hiding next door and heard several people saying that they wanted to file a complaint and that they were going to find a certain adult. It was said that the adult had connections.
Early the next morning, the four people went out.
"Actually, they came back." Sanfu said.
Shen Yu asked: "When?"
Sanfu started to tremble all over as he recalled what happened before.
"I came back in the middle of the night. I knocked on the door at night. I, I was lazy for a long time before I ran to open the door."
Sanfu did not open it directly, but looked out through the crack in the door, and saw an extremely terrifying scene.
