Chapter 296 Crispy Grilled Pork Belly (7)
What Ji Caimai heard was soon confirmed!
The remaining remains of the body were found together and completely pieced together into a complete body.
According to what Wu Bucai said, he should have died two days ago. Although the appearance of the corpse had changed slightly, due to the cold weather, it did not change as quickly as in summer. After the turbid matter on the face was cleaned away, people could still recognize the deceased at a glance.
"The deceased's surname is Feng, and he is one of the city magistrates in charge of this market. His age and other factors are consistent with the conclusions Wu Bucai came to." The police officer came over to report, "As for manual labor... this person surnamed Feng Three months ago, I was a laborer helping to move goods at the docks along the Weishui River, and I just became the city magistrate."
When Lin Fei heard this, he raised his hand and asked: "What's the matter with the old and new abrasions on Feng's hand? Even three months is not long, and there is no need to go to the dock after the market order. He was carrying goods, where did he get the scratch?
The police officer has already asked about this.
"This City Ling Feng disappeared five days ago. He was moving before he disappeared," the officer said. "I moved from the porter's original residence to his new home. The bumps and bruises on his hands were from that time. There’s a lot left behind.”
Lin Fei nodded and asked the officer: "Where is Feng Shiling's new home?"
"Lin'an Hutong." The officer said this, and before Lin Fei could continue to ask questions, he said the rest of his words, "There are many shop owners living in that area, and it is better than where he originally lived. Quite a few.”
Although he had not visited Lin'an Hutong yet, after hearing the officer mention the people who lived in Lin'an Hutong, Lin Fei suddenly understood: "How did he transform from a small worker who has been carrying goods at the dock for many years?" Let’s not mention the market order for the moment..."
When the officer heard this, his expression was very strange, and he nodded subconsciously: Although the market magistrate is not an official, for a dock worker who works hard to carry goods and sleeps in the open, he is indeed a tiptoeing official. An unattainable beauty. This kind of good job is something that everyone is vying for for the dock workers. Therefore, although it is not an official position, it is not easy to become a market order. If there is no way, it is just to move the goods." "The number one scholar" cannot be regarded as a city order.
This city order is quite strange, but right now, there is no time to investigate it in detail.
Of course Lin Fei knew that this matter needed to be investigated in detail, so he did not continue to ask this question, but brought up another matter.
"Even if you become a city orderer, you can live in a house in Lin'an Hutong after only three months of being a city orderer?" Lin Fei shook his head and said, "If you don't say you bought it, you just rented it. According to I know that renting a house in Chang'an City usually requires a deposit ranging from three months to half a year or one year. How can the money obtained by the city order in these three months be enough to deposit the rent? "
The officer shook his head and said frankly: "I don't know where City Ling Feng got the money, but in the past three months, the man named Feng has indeed been a little... uh, a little ostentatious in the market, and he has attracted a lot of attention."
As for how to attract attention, the guard said with a strange expression: "It's probably because he has been working as a small laborer for many years and has accumulated a lot of resentment, so that he can't stand being in a better situation than he used to be, so he deliberately looks for trouble or something. …”
Finding fault is not limited to those who are better off than him, but also towards those who are worse off than him. This Feng Shiling is also picky and scornful.
"I have disdain and look down on those miserable people. I hear the words 'mean' and 'mean' all the time." When the officer said this, he shook his head and said, "After stepping on the high and then stepping on the low, that's right. Therefore, Feng Shiling's popularity in the market is very bad, and even after searching around, I can't find anyone who likes Feng Shiling."
When Liu Yuan heard this, he suddenly said: "So... this person named Feng is a villain who has gained power inexplicably."
The officer nodded and said, "It is true what the listeners said. Before City Ling Feng disappeared, every time they saw him coming, people in the market would secretly say, 'The King of Hell named Feng is here again'!"
Such people are really unpleasant. Liu Yuan thought for a while and asked: "Then the person he offended..."
"There are quite a few." The officer answered, "Most of the stalls in this market have had direct conflicts with him. Even those who have not had direct conflicts, there are also many who complain and abuse him in private."
This means that the offended person has been offended too much. There are enemies all over the market, so it is really difficult to check.
Liu Yuanzheng sighed and heard Bai Zhu's voice: "Where is that Hu Siming? Have you ever had a conflict with him?"
An important suspect, Hu Siming, was still in prison at this time.
The officer nodded and said, "Just when I was about to talk about this, the two of them had a conflict."
"He was one of the people who caused the exchange of chickens, ducks, poultry and livestock," the officer said. "He brought a chicken and jumped in the queue to be slaughtered. The people who had been waiting all morning complained a few times. "The city order took the lead in jumping in the queue. Not good." When Hu Siming saw this, he helped the regular customers and said, "It's not good to jump in line." Of course, because he was the city magistrate, no vendor in the market dared to offend the city magistrate, and Hu Siming was no exception. In the end I slaughtered the chicken for him, but he found out that Hu Siming was quick and suspected that he had changed the chicken, so he finally emptied out the swill bucket before giving up!"
Hearing this, Liu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "He is really a villain!"
Isn't it? The guard coughed slightly and said, "In short, everyone hates this guy. So he didn't come. Everyone just thought he was sick, but no one wanted to come and see him."
This man is not a good person, who would go out of his way to see him? Is it because I want to be ridiculed?
When Lin Fei heard this, he nodded and said, "Let Wu Bucai check the specific cause of death. Let's go to Lin'an Hutong to have a look."
Lin'an Hutong is just one of the many alleys where people gather in the north of the city. Because the shopkeepers "gather", there are many salesmen who come and go to purchase goods and deliver goods. People come and go in the alley, which is noisy and lively.
Lin Fei stopped when he reached the entrance of the alley, and glanced into the alley. The guard hurriedly said: "Lin Shaoqing, there are many people coming in and out of this alley every day, and it is very messy. And Feng Shiling is a talented person who moved here." He didn't buy some pastries and snacks to distribute as a 'housewarming gift' like some people did. Therefore, if the neighbors hadn't seen him moving things in and out, they wouldn't have known that the house was rented out. What's the point of making friends with neighbors? Yes, this person surnamed Feng has never done anything, so he has been missing for several days and no one knows about the reporting officer."
Lin Fei nodded and looked at the house at the end of the alley where a few guards were stationed in front of the door: Although there was no housewarming gift or anything, a red banner was posted on the door of the house - swallow gold and collect treasures.
It is not known whether this house can swallow gold treasures, but as far as the city magistrate named Feng Tong is concerned, this house can swallow people.
