So the Northwest Army sent people to investigate what happened that night, and found out that Pang Lin went upstairs with a woman.
"What woman?" Li Mu asked with a frown.
He is the son of Lieutenant General Li and the brother-in-law of Pang Lin.
At home, Pang Lin always acted like he loved his sister and was henpecked. Who would have thought he was also secretly looking for a woman?
The waiters didn't see clearly because the woman had her face covered, not wanting to be seen. Furthermore, she came in a low-key manner, so no one in the inn even noticed her.
"Who gave them the wine?" Li Mu asked again.
He thought that the waiter must have seen the woman when he went to the third floor to deliver drinks, and perhaps he even heard something.
But the waiters all shook their heads.
"No."
“We haven’t sent one.”
"No drinks were ordered on the third floor."
"I have no recollection."
"It wasn't me who gave it to you."
“…”
Everyone said they didn't know.
Li Mu squinted his eyes and looked at the drinks on the table.
"You didn't send it, where did it come from?"
He seriously suspected that this inn was a shady shop.
A place like Han Ancient City is not impossible.
When Mr. Shi Wu heard that his inn was being slandered, he immediately became angry.
"What do you mean? Our waiter said he didn't deliver it, so he didn't deliver it. Can they lie?"
He is an extremely protective person.
Li Mu squinted at him and asked, "Are you the innkeeper?"
The shopkeeper came over, wiped his sweat and said, "This is our young master."
After saying that, he added: "Master Jun, it really wasn't given by us. Maybe the guest came to pick it up himself, or maybe someone else gave it to him. Our inn has been open in Hangu City for many years. It is definitely not a black shop. Even if it is a black shop, we can't kill people in our own inn. It will affect business so much..."
The second son of Zhuang also said: "The shopkeeper is right. Fulai Inn has been law-abiding all these years..."
Li Mu didn't really doubt it. He frowned when he heard it and asked, "Who sent the wine?"
Master Shi Wu said, "Didn't I say someone pretended to be a waiter and sent it? The inn was crowded yesterday, so it's not impossible that someone took advantage of the situation."
What he said is quite right.
Just as Li Mu finished thinking this, he heard Master Shi Wu say again: "I saw it all. It was that Qingfeng Mountain bandit who did it."
He had some brains and didn't mention Fang Kui directly.
The second young master Zhuang thought that this boy was still useful, so he told him that Fang Kui and the second in command were also there.
Li Mu frowned, becoming more and more confused the more he listened. "What is Fang Kui doing hanging out with bandits?"
No one can answer.
But the answer seems obvious.
Li Mu thought the most.
The old general is in poor health now, and besides Li Mu's father, there's another person who might take over as his successor: Lieutenant General Xue...
Fang Kui has always had a good relationship with Lieutenant General Xue. Rumor has it that Fang Kui once gave his wife to Lieutenant General Xue to play with.
Is this a conspiracy?
Vice General Xue ordered Fang Kui to kill Pang Lin at this critical moment, which was also a big loss for them in the army...
The more Li Mu thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
"Where are Pang Lin's two men?" Li Mu asked.
A Long and A Hu are both brave warriors in the army and have experienced hundreds of battles. Ordinary people cannot kill them.
"They were also with a woman..."
Xiao Er remembers that person...
Li Mu was speechless.
Have Pang Lin and his men never seen a woman?
I knew Pang Lin was not a good person. He turned out to be a hypocrite.
"What woman?" he asked, suppressing his anger.
The second young master Zhuang called all the waiters for that night.
"In a powder blue dress."
"Yeah, it's a light blue dress, but I couldn't see what it looked like."
Master Shi Wu suddenly thought of something: "I remember now. I saw him too. He was wearing pink and blue clothes and was with Pang Lin's men."
He originally wanted to mention the bearded man and his sister-in-law, but after thinking about it, he only saw a back figure and didn't see clearly what they looked like. Brother-in-law and sister-in-law, it sounded very shocking at the time. If it was really that kind of relationship, they would have wanted to hide it and would never say it out loud.
Maybe it's just the hobby of the young couple...
Moreover, when the incident happened, Big Beard was drinking with him, so how could he have the time to kill someone?
As for why the bearded man and his sister-in-law disappeared, isn't it normal for them to run away out of fear after something like this happened?
Master Shi Wu completed everything in his mind.
Since Master Shi Wu didn't say anything, how could the other waiters dare to say such things and bring unnecessary trouble to themselves and the inn?
So no one told anyone after that.
"The girl in the pale blue dress..."
Li Mu went over the matter.
Pang Lin found a woman who drugged his drink and made him unconscious. At the same time, his men were also bewitched and killed by another woman.
Who sent these two women?
Was it a coincidence that Fang Kui appeared there?
No, it's not a coincidence.
It sounds like Fang Kui was framed...
But he happened to be at the crime scene...
Li Mu hadn't figured it out yet, but Master Shi Wu understood.
He slapped his forehead and said loudly: "I understand."
Everyone looked at him.
Holmes Stone said, "Someone must have sent these two women to confuse General Pang and his men. General Pang's men were lured away, and General Pang was drugged. Now someone needs to kill General Pang and silence him!"
Everyone was speechless.
Do you need to tell me this? Everyone knows it.
Holmes Stone said again: "But this person who silenced the witness..."
After looking around, he said, "The bandits from Qingfeng Mountain are the most suitable."
Li Mu narrowed his eyes, already half believing it.
