princess regent lifted from her grave

"Shopkeeper, when was this wine bottle made?"

The shopkeeper knew that the shop was out of suspicion, so he was not as panicked as before. After thinking about it, he said,

"It was finished three days ago. After it was done, it was packed and placed in the backyard. It was never touched until it was taken away."

Mu Fengyan frowned, it's been three days, it's been a long time, someone will sneak in at any time during these three days and replace the wine bottle.

Mu Fengyan continued to ask, "Did you only make wine bottles from Heyilou? Didn't other restaurants make them?"

"Yes, there are two other small restaurants with your Crane Tower, but they want less, and there are only sixty in total."

The shopkeeper seemed to have thought of something, got up quickly, and walked quickly to the backyard.

Seeing the shopkeeper leaving in such a hurry, Mu Xiu was a little puzzled, "Miss, should we follow up and see?"

"Well, let's go, I guess the shopkeeper is going to see if the wine bottles from the other two restaurants have been taken away."

Mu Fengyan and Mu Xiu walked to the backyard together.

The shopkeeper came to the small warehouse in the backyard, and he was relieved when he saw that the two small boxes were still there.

Then he opened the box and checked the wine bottles one by one.

When Mu Fengyan walked over, he saw the shopkeeper checking each one.

After checking everything, the shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief.

Mu Fengyan asked, "How about the shopkeeper's investigation?"

"Miss, neither of these two boxes has been exchanged."

Mu Fengyan's eyes narrowed slightly, which meant that they were being watched by someone, and they knew every move of the restaurant.

"Shopkeeper, are there many people going in and out of this backyard?"

"Not many, the location here is a bit remote, except for the servants, there are no outsiders here."

Mu Fengyan looked around the small warehouse, but found nothing unusual. The room was relatively small and had no windows, so if one came in, one could only open the door. There were footprints all over the ground, and there was no way to check it.

"Shopkeeper, has someone guarded this place at night?"

"Yes, there is a servant here. This shop is not big, so there is only one."

"What about the boy, can I meet him? Ask him if he heard anything unusual at night."

As soon as Mu Fengyan finished speaking, she saw a young servant with a dazed expression and a pale face, stumbling to the shopkeeper, "The shopkeeper... the shopkeeper's."

The shopkeeper saw that the servant was so reckless, and directly reprimanded him, "What's wrong? Are you so unruly?"

The boy pointed directly at a room in the distance, his eyes were terrified, and he stammered, "Dead...dead."

The shopkeeper still didn't respond.

Mu Fengyan and Mu Xiu looked at each other, and then walked quickly towards that room.

As soon as Mu Fengyan walked into the room, she saw a person lying on the ground, lifeless, already dead, this person's eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying before he died.

The shopkeeper also came in. When he saw the person on the ground, his face was pale, and he took a few steps back, his voice full of horror, "This...this..."

Mu Fengyan looked back at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper endured his fear and finally said, "This is the boy who has been guarding here at night."

Mu Fengyan approached a little closer and observed carefully. His clothes were neat, and there was no sign of a fight before his death, nor was there any sign of poisoning. His eyes were wide open, as if he died of extreme fright. To put it bluntly, he was frightened dead.

Mu Fengyan got up again and looked around. This should be a utility room, and there are some utensils for making wine bottles in it. No abnormalities were found in every corner. This is not the servant's residence. Mu Fengyan had a lot of questions in his mind , why did he appear here?What did he see before he died that made him so terrified?Mu Fengyan had more and more questions, but there were no useful clues left at the scene. I don't know if the traces were erased by that person.

Using the cover of her sleeves, Mu Fengyan took out a pair of gloves from the space and put them on.

She came to the dead man again and checked carefully. She wanted to confirm the time of the boy's death.

She lifted up the servant's sleeve, the body was stiff and the body was stiff, the body spots would not fade after finger pressure.

She estimated the time, and it should have died at Yinshi yesterday.

After being dead for so long, why did I only find out now?

The shopkeeper looked at the little owner of Heyi Tower not only not afraid, but also went to check the body, and backed away in fright.

Why is this young lady so bold? Isn't she afraid of this corpse?

He has lived half his life, and he was so scared to death when he saw such a situation, and the servant girl beside that young lady also looked normal, I really don't know who these two are?He didn't even have the slightest fear of the dead.

Mu Fengyan stood up, looked at the shopkeeper who was far away from her, twitched the corners of her mouth, and asked,

"Shopkeeper, didn't you see him yesterday?"

"Miss, the old man only came to check on the affairs of this shop today. I usually come to check on every four or five days. This young man is usually busy in the backyard, and the man is in the front. It is not uncommon for the two of them to not see each other sometimes."

Mu Fengyan frowned, "On weekdays there are only these two people here?"

"Yes, when they pick up the business, they are all in another shop. Here, they just receive the task and make it directly, and when they come to pick up the wine bottles, this boy will lead them."

"Then when he was taking the wine bottle yesterday, was he there?" According to Mu Fengyan's calculation, he should have died long ago at that time yesterday.

The boy next to the shopkeeper quickly said, "He was not here yesterday, and I was here yesterday, and I went to his room to look for him, but I couldn't find him, and then the little ones were anxious to do other things, so I ignored it. I thought he had something else to go out temporarily, so I asked the guy in front to fetch us wine bottles."

Mu Fengyan understood.

Then he said, "You should report to the government as soon as possible, and let the people from the government check it out."

"Yes, yes, what the lady said is very true," the shopkeeper said to the boy next to him, "Quickly report to the official."

Mu Fengyan checked it carefully again, making sure that there were no clues, and then went to the boy's room. The quilt was spread out and one side was opened. The boy was supposed to be sleeping before, but he didn't know. Why did he get up and go out, maybe he heard something, or saw something, or maybe he met something when he got up at night, in short, the person is dead, and only he himself knows what he saw before he died.

Mu Fengyan looked around the room. The furnishings in the room were extremely simple, and the items in the room were neatly placed. At least before he went out, he was in a normal state of mind and had a stable state of mind. There were no more useful clues, so Mu Fengyan bid farewell Asked the shopkeeper to ask Mu Xiu to take those wine bottles away, she took off the gloves and threw them into the alcohol box in the space to soak.

Then she took Mu Xiu and left.

The shopkeeper was in shock, waiting for someone from the government office.
