After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

Nangong Yuan raised her eyebrows: "Why should I say that? Who knows if this place is safe or not? The murderer often mixes in the crowd."

Several people's expressions became stiff.

"If I'm not mistaken, this merchant has a special identity. Will the case review still pass Wucheng?"

The bailiff nodded: "Of course, whatever happens in Wucheng will be handled by us."

"Then...I have a request."

"You speak."

Nangong Yuan said: "I want to investigate the case with you guys."

"How can this be possible? The government needs talents from within the government to handle cases."

But Nangong Yuan shook his head: "This matter involves a lot of people, not to mention that you are not familiar with firearms. I just want to help."

"Who knows if you are playing tricks?"

Nangong Yuan said: "I can prove it myself. For example, if I don't tell you about this musket, you won't be able to find the murder weapon, right?"

After hesitating for a moment, the official said, "This is a serious matter. I will report it to you, my Lord."

"Then I'll wait for your news at the inn."

The man nodded and took the body and the witness back to the yamen.

"Miss, the house has been sealed by them."

Nangong Yuan didn't care at all: "Go and take a look."

She had checked it in a hurry before and didn't look at it carefully.

In order to make the evidence complete, the government did not touch anything in the house and only took the body away.

"This way."

Two people climbed in through the window, and there was a strong smell of blood in the house.

Nangong Yuan looked around and said, "He is indeed a rich man, and...he is here with a mission from Qingzhou."

There was a letter inside the gift, which was sent from Qingzhou Prefecture.

It seems that this man came to Wucheng for business, but he offended someone and was killed.

"He was facing the door before he died. The bullet went through his heart and nailed him to the floor."

She began to deduce what happened at that time.

So...why did he open the door?

The coroner speculated that the man died when the inn had just started operating.

The musket makes a sound, but it doesn't seem obtrusive in such noise.

Nangong Yuan touched his chin: "He said he had a mission, so he had to get up early."

However, before the servant called him, the man was already dead.

"So, someone sneaked in."

Tao Zhu frowned and said, "I got up early and indeed heard the noise. It was at the hour of Mao."

She went to the kitchen to ask Nangong Yuan for some breakfast, and went upstairs after giving the instructions.

"There weren't many people downstairs at the time. I took a quick glance and there were probably only five or six people."

"Do you still have an impression?"

Tao Zhu closed his eyes and thought for a while, then slowly said, "One table has a few gangsters with weapons in their hands, and they seem to be on the road. Another table has a family of three with a child, and the rest... seem to be middle-aged people with little presence."

Hearing this, Nangong Yuan asked, "Who could it be?"

Tao Zhu was in the front hall at the time, and if he saw someone going out, he would have some impression of it.

After the person died, everyone rushed to the first floor.

"Will he run away during the chaos?"

Nangong Yuan shook her head: "I'm not sure. After all, this inn is full of loopholes. If an assassin comes to kill me, it will be easy."

"What should we do? If the murderer escapes, can we find him?"

Tao Zhu vaguely knew what Nangong Yuan was doing, but she didn't ask much and just tried her best to help her.

"I'll do my best. Fortunately, the inn is closed right now. Let's wait a little longer."

She wasn't really in a hurry, so she asked the cook for a bowl of ice cream.

"Okay, send the food from the restaurant on the second floor up there."

Nangong Yuan took a spoonful of the cheese and saw that the dishes the waiter brought were very rich and most of them were sweet.

She ate as she walked and followed the servant upstairs.

This dish is for the family of three.

Not long after, the Jianghu person cursed in a low voice: "What bad luck! I was supposed to leave as soon as possible, but now I am stuck here."

They were not witnesses, so they were only ordered not to enter or leave the inn, but there were no other restrictions.

"There's nothing we can do. The officials in Wucheng Prefecture are very strict and won't let anyone go easily."

A few people could only consider themselves unlucky and gathered together to eat meat and drink.

Nangong Yuan finished her meal standing at the door before planning to go into the house.

"Miss, you're eating ice again. I just ordered the inn's specialties."

Nangong Yuan said: "It's okay, I still have room to eat."

"What if I get sick from alternating hot and cold?"

So it was not until almost bedtime that Tao Zhu asked someone to bring up the porridge prepared for her.

The inn is very quiet tonight, perhaps because someone has died.

Nangong Yuan was not afraid at all, as she had seen many dead people.

She leaned against the bed and ate her porridge, saying, "It has no taste at all. I don't like it."

"Miss, don't be picky. Eat something easily digestible, otherwise your stomach will hurt."

Eating too much cold food will make people feel uncomfortable, Tao Zhu thought about it very carefully.

Nangong Yuan still felt bland in her mouth, so she drank the porridge in one gulp and rinsed her mouth.

"I'm not picky, it just doesn't taste good."

Looks pretty healthy though.

Tao Zhu shook his head helplessly and went out to get hot water.

"Hey, sir, this is your water."

The servant boy fetched some water for a family of three not far away, and then brought it to Tao Zhu.

"Strange, that family of three hasn't come out today."

Nangong Yuan yawned and said, "Maybe he was scared. After all, there are children inside."

"Yes, they are quite close to the dead room."

This made Nangong Yuan's heart move, but she didn't think much about it.

The next day, the young bailiff came as expected.

"My master said that if the young master could help, he wouldn't mind."

Nangong Yuan smiled and said, "I will definitely not let you down, sir."

Chen Qian is indeed a wonderful person, everyone can agree on this, but it also reflects from the side that his dedication to the country and the people is not just talk.

"We are here today to inquire about the situation again."

Nangong Yuan said: "Then I will follow."

"it is good."

A few people started from the front hall of the inn and asked around.

When I went upstairs, I met those gangsters.

"As you know, there is a flower show in Qingzhou recently. We just wanted to join in the fun, but we didn't expect to encounter this."

After asking them repeatedly and finding nothing wrong, I let them go.

The last room belongs to the family of three.

The man who came was a haggard man with a very sharp look and a lot of stubble on his face.

"Excuse me, sir."

"You were closest to that room. Did you hear any strange noises when the incident happened?"

The man shook his head: "My youngest son was crying and talking non-stop in the room, so I really didn't hear anything."

Anyone with children knows this is true.

So they didn't make things difficult for them. After asking a few questions and finding out that there was nothing wrong, they allowed them to leave.
