Luo Xuening raised her eyes and looked at Fang Jinyu. With just one glance, she could see through her thoughts. Are you a criminal psychologist or am I the criminal psychologist?
However, this tacit understanding really made Fang Jinyu excited. He could always guess what she was thinking, and she could also see what was in his mind. Isn't this the legendary "even though we don't have the wings of a phoenix, we are in perfect harmony with each other"?
"We are in tune with each other."
Looking at Luo Xuening's stunned expression, Fang Jinyu blinked and said, this was probably the first time he said such ambiguous words to a woman. His face was red, and it was particularly dazzling against his fair skin.
“Yes, we are in sync.”
Luo Xue Ning also nodded. She could only nod in agreement with Fang Jinyu's statement. She and Fang Jinyu were comrades-in-arms, and they were investigating cases together, so naturally they needed to cooperate well and have a tacit understanding. Otherwise, if one wanted to go east and the other wanted to go west, how could they cooperate well?
Fang Jinyu smiled. The words "we are in sync with each other" he said had a hint of ambiguity, but Luo Xuening was clearly just being objective.
The shopkeeper looked at the two men and was very angry. You two are in sync with each other. You are really treating me like a fool.
Fang Jinyu glanced at the shopkeeper coldly: "Go back and tell your master that I, Fang Jinyu, have always been objective. If he has any objection to my closing down the wine shop, let him come to the Fang family to find me in person."
The Fang family is also a wealthy family in the capital, but the Fang family does not enter the officialdom. Only Fang Jinyu was appointed by the emperor as the leader of the Six Gates, but he is not under the jurisdiction of the court. The Six Gates is an organization that originated from the court but is higher than the court.
Fang Jinyu knew very well who was behind this restaurant, but he was going to make it clear today.
"You guys are so brave, huh."
The shopkeeper knew that Fang Jinyu was serious and was still a little scared. He snorted coldly and angrily swung his sleeves. His fat swung around his body and seemed to be about to fall out.
"Who among you was in charge of night patrol in the tavern during the seven days?"
Fang Jinyu looked at the servants standing in a row in front of him and asked in a cold voice. The servants in the restaurant were silent at first, and finally, a few people stood up.
"Who is in charge of the No. 1 room?" Fang Jinyu continued to ask.
Soon, two people retreated, and the remaining two people stood in front of Fang Jinyu.
Room No. 1, the room where Wang Chun fell from the building, is a superior room, equivalent to a VIP room today. Naturally, there will be someone specially responsible for cleaning it.
"You are in charge of the No. 1 room. Did you notice that the railing was broken?"
The two men shook their heads and said, "We check every day, but we didn't find the railing was broken before the murder happened."
“When was the last time you checked the railings?”
One of them thought for a moment and said, "It was the night when Prince Wang fell from the building."
"What time?"
"Chen time." The two people said in unison.
In other words, if the murderer wanted to saw off the railings, he could only have done it after noon and before dawn.
"Who is in charge of the night watch?"
Several more people stood up, and Fang Jinyu continued to ask, "Did you find anything unusual after the hour of Chen a day ago?"
"No." Several people shook their heads. Luoxue frowned. Suddenly, a voice spoke in her ear.
"Little one, do you remember that there was a dog barking at night? But when I went to check, the barking had disappeared. But that doesn't mean anything. We often hear dogs barking, but that night they were particularly fierce."
The servant spoke to himself, but Fang Jinyu didn't think so. Dogs are very spiritual animals and will not bark for no reason, unless something very special happened that night, such as someone intruding.
"How long did the barking last?"
"About a quarter of an hour. Anyway, it was so noisy that people couldn't sleep. Many people heard it."
The servant looked at the others again, and they all agreed that they had really heard the barking of dogs that night. In other words, someone had indeed come to the restaurant that night, but perhaps he was very good at using his hands and was not discovered.
Moreover, a quarter of an hour coincides with the time when the railings were sawed off, which means that the murderer came to the restaurant that night. Based on this time, it can also be deduced that the murderer acted the night before the murder.
However, even though we know the time when the murderer acted, the evidence is still not enough to find the murderer. Luo Xuening is more inclined to believe that the murderer is hiding among these servants, or perhaps these servants may have accomplices.
After an investigation, Luo Xuening and Fang Jinyu did not find any useful information. The only conclusion they could draw was that the murderer acted the night before Wang Chun fell from the building.
However, it is almost impossible to find the murderer based on these conditions. In ancient times, surveillance records could not be retrieved like in modern times. In this case, there were not even any eyewitnesses.
This really put Luo Xuening and Fang Jinyu in a difficult situation. They looked at each other in bewilderment. Their clues about this case were gone again.
"Xue'er, investigating a case is not a matter of one or two days. You don't have to be so nervous. Drink some water and take a rest."
Seeing Luo Xue Ning frowning in thought again, Fang Jinyu couldn't help but step forward to show concern. It must be said that working with Fang Jinyu was a great choice, because he could always take care of his companions' emotions.
Moreover, even when the case reached a bottleneck, he did not seem sad. He was a man with a good temper.
Luo Xuening blinked; "Didn't the emperor only give you three days?" Investigating a case cannot be completed in one or two days, but the problem is that they only have three days.
Luo Xuening admitted that she was being too anxious as the emperor was not, but there was nothing she could do. It was her temperament. When she was in the criminal police team, she was a well-known workaholic. It was common for her to work day and night to solve cases.
"Uh, the prince told you this too?"
Fang Jinyu said awkwardly, and Luo Xuening thought of what Long Moxun had told her last night.
"Luo Xue Ning, this case must have a result within three days. If you do a good job, I will not let you down."
"He told me that just to let me know the seriousness of the matter."
