Chapter 503 Do you know who the murderer is?
Wan Laoer insisted that he was not the murderer and knew nothing.
"You said you're not the murderer, why aren't you in the inn?"
The shopkeeper asked every question as if he was the judge.
"Why should I tell you? Are you the county magistrate or the official? What qualifications do you have to interrogate me? I am still going to sue you? My daughter was lost in your store, and I went out to look for her, but when I came back I became a murderer?"
"You went out to look for your daughter? Are you kidding me? I didn't even see you go downstairs. Where did you go out from?"
Wan Laoer really couldn't answer this question. If he said that someone took him out, then he would inevitably be involved with the Vietnamese people. If he said that he went out through the window by himself, then he would be more suspicious.
However, at this moment, Afeng's face suddenly flashed in Wan Laoer's mind. He was very nervous along the way and didn't notice it at all. It seemed that only A Lei was there. What about the others?
Wan Laoer had a bad feeling. Could it be that Afeng and the others were all dead, leaving only Alei?
When Wan Laoer thought of this possibility, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Martial arts masters like Afeng were killed in an instant by Xiao Qianchou, so he would definitely be dead.
"I know who killed the waiter." After Wan Laoer figured it out, he immediately shouted loudly to the constable.
The constable was worried that he couldn't find the murderer and was preparing to use Wan Laoer to replace him, but he didn't expect Wan Laoer to shout out himself.
"Do you know who the murderer is? Tell me now!" the captain shouted.
"It was Xiao Qianchou who lived across from us. He was the one who knocked us out first, stole my daughter, killed the waiter, and got me out of the inn. I didn't know how I got out of the inn. When I woke up, he was already outside."
Wan Laoer said half truthfully.
The constable frowned and looked at the shopkeeper.
"Why didn't you tell me who Xiao Qianchou was? How dare you hide anything?"
The constable was a little annoyed and felt like he was being played a trick by the shopkeeper.
Wan Lao Er also realized that the shopkeeper didn't tell the truth. Did he think he was easy to bully because he was honest? So he only bullied him?
Wan Laoer felt a surge of anger in his heart, and without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak, he took over the words of the constable.
"Sir, this shopkeeper is obviously throwing dirty water on me. He thinks Xiao Qianchou is not easy to deal with, so he puts the blame on me. I don't believe that the body of the waiter was found in our room."
The constable turned his head and looked at Wan Laoer in confusion.
"What do you mean? Which room do you live in?"
Wan Laoer had been staring at the shopkeeper. When he saw the constable asking about his residence, the shopkeeper instinctively avoided his gaze.
"Sir, I live in the second room on the right, and my friend lives in the first room on the right. But after we had dinner together, we both passed out. I now have reason to suspect that the people at the inn drugged us."
Wan Laoer also learned the revengeful character from Fubao and bit back on the spot.
Cold sweat broke out on the shopkeeper's forehead.
"You're talking nonsense. How could we possibly put drugs in our guests' food?"
When Wan Laoer saw that Jia Yanbing was not at the scene, he thought that he must still be unconscious, so he had an idea in his mind.
"I'm talking nonsense? My friend is still unconscious, what do you say? We can't drug ourselves, right?"
The shopkeeper was speechless.
The constable simply sat down, slammed the big knife at his waist on the table, and shouted coldly: "You unruly man, why don't you tell the truth? If you don't tell the truth, I will take you to the county government office to serve you severely."
The constable said this to the shopkeeper, and at the same time he ordered Wan Laoer to be released, because what Wan Laoer said was true. When they arrived, they did find Jia Yanbing still unconscious on the ground, and there were food leftovers on the table, but as to whether there was any drug in it, they would know once they checked.
The shopkeeper dared not talk nonsense anymore. He was so scared that he knelt down.
"Sir, I'm telling you, Xiao Er did die in another person's room, but that person's name was not Xiao Qianchou, but Xiao Chou."
Wan Laoer pondered for a moment. Xiao Chou? Xiao Qianchou? Isn't this the same person?
"Humph, he didn't use his real name. You haven't even heard of Xiao Qianchou. You really don't know how to live or die. He is a poisonous monster!"
When the constable heard the words "poisonous monster", he stood up and stared at Wan Laoer.
"What did you say? Are you talking about that Xiao Qianchou?"
The constable is different from the county magistrate. He mingles among the people in the market and is closer to the underworld. He also goes to listen to storytelling. The storyteller said that Xiao Qianchou was a big devil who killed people without blinking an eye and was as elusive as a dragon. Who would have thought that he would hear this name in this inn?
Wan Laoer was almost confused when he was arrested and questioned. Are there two Xiao Qianchou in this world?
“Should…should be, right?”
Wan Laoer was not sure whether the two were talking about the same person. After all, Jia Yanbing said that not everyone could see Xiao Qianchou, and many people who saw his true face died. The reason why Jia Yanbing survived was that the Jia family had something that Xiao Qianchou needed at that time, and Jia Yanbing was able to survive because of this. He was also one of the few survivors who had seen Xiao Qianchou.
The constable immediately lost his composure. If it was really Xiao Qianchou, then this would be a really troublesome matter.
He paced back and forth anxiously in the inn. No, this matter was beyond his scope. He had to report it to the adults immediately and capture Xiao Qianchou in the whole city. This man was a big devil. He didn't know why he appeared in their county town, but he always felt that his appearance was not simple.
The constable no longer had the heart to care about the case here, and hurriedly took his men away and ran towards the city gate.
Wan Lao Er and the shopkeeper looked at each other in bewilderment.
Soon, Wan Lao Er grabbed the shopkeeper by the collar and asked angrily, "How dare you slander me as a murderer? Someone died in your inn, it's your problem, and you're blaming the guests? I think you don't need to open this inn anymore. As soon as the sun rises, I'll spread the word that someone died in your inn, and the shopkeeper is still throwing dirty water on the guests. I wonder who will dare to stay in your inn in the future?"
The shopkeeper was already feeling guilty, and when Wan Laoer grabbed him and threatened him, he quickly begged for mercy.
"Sir, I'm really sorry. It's all my fault. I was confused for a moment and did something wrong. Can you forgive me this time? That Xiao Qianchou looks like someone who is not easy to mess with, so I dare not say much."
"Hmph, okay, then I look like a sucker? A scapegoat?"
Wan Laoer sneered in his heart. It was true that kind people are often bullied and kind horses are often ridden. He had always been honest and kind to others, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would be wrongly accused of being a murderer because of this. It seemed that he had to be more sarcastic in the future.
The two men argued for a while on the first floor, and finally the shopkeeper compensated Wan Lao with twenty taels of silver and promised that Wan Lao Er could stay as long as he wanted without charging any money.
Wan Laoer quickly ran upstairs and went to his room to check.
He was still worried about his daughter. Although A Lei saved his life, they were here to kidnap Fu Bao and were his enemies after all. He could not take it lightly.
Wan Laoer opened the door, but did not see Fubao and A Lei. Wan Laoer was immediately panicked. He only saw Jia Yanbing lying on the bed, still unconscious.
