Under the night, Bai Chen, who was sleeping, smelled a trace of blood. { ＜[Net

However, Bai Chen obviously did not intend to interrupt his sleep, until a heavy knock on the door came from outside.

Only then did Bai Chen reluctantly push the quilt away and come out of the warm quilt.

"Who...it's already midnight..."

Bai Chen yawned and opened the door, and saw many people standing outside the door.

Di Renjie and his guards were standing outside the door: "Mr. Di, you can't sleep in the middle of the night, come and have fun, right?"

"Brother Bai was joking. It was night when the inn had a murder. I came to ask, did you hear any abnormal noise before?"

Although Di Renjie's tone was gentle, he obviously included Bai Chen in the category of suspicion.

Bai Chen shook his head: "I fell asleep very quickly and didn't hear any sound. If you didn't have the door snapped so loudly, I would definitely not have noticed it."

"That's it..." Di Renjie's eyes rolled: "But the murderer has not been found now. Brother Bai is probably unsafe to stay in the house alone. So, let's go to the inn hall first. Now the tenants and the servants in the inn are all staying in the hall. Even if the murderer wants to commit a crime, he will not dare to commit a crime in front of so many people. You are right."

"Okay." Bai Chen knew that he couldn't let go, so he could only nod and agree.

But Bai Chen really wanted to see if Di Gong, who was like a god, could solve this case.

When we entered the hall, more than a dozen people had gathered in the hall, the inn owner, three guys, and all the visitors were gathered here.

At this time, Di Renjie came, and the guard behind him was carrying two corpses, a pair of men and women, who looked like they were ordinary families.

Both of them had their throats cut to death, and the guards placed the two bodies in front of everyone.

A few timid people all took a few steps back in surprise.

Di Renjie's eyes swept over everyone now. Generally speaking, the corpse cannot be moved at will before the scene of the murder case is confirmed. However, Di Renjie and his guards are experts in this field and have mastered the scene of the murder case.

He lifted these two corpses out just to see everyone's reaction.

"Man, help me with a pot of tea. I was woken up halfway through my sleep, and my mouth was a little dry."

Bai Chen's words were complaining about Di Renjie. Of course, Di Renjie just smiled and didn't care about Bai Chen's attitude.

In comparison, he was more concerned about who the murderer was. Di Renjie's eyes were like a torch, and no one dared to contact Di Renjie's eyes, and Bai Chen could only avoid it. After all, his eyes would expose a lot of things and would make his suspicion bigger.

What Bai Chen has to do now is to watch Di Renjie's one-man show as an audience, instead of interfering with his case handling.

"Everyone, according to my judgment, the deceased was killed between You and Xu. Can you tell me what you are doing and where you are?"

"I am a juren, who are you? Why do you question us? Also, there are so many people here, and the guards behind you carry weapons. I think you are the most suspicious." Although a young man was a little shabby in his clothes, his tone and attitude were as if he was not afraid of heaven and earth. He stood aside and shouted.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, he immediately induced many people to unconsciously retreat to Di Renjie's side.

"My grand sir, all the people around me are in public office. I don't know if my identity is qualified to inquire about the case?"

"Student is rude, please forgive me." The scholar looked a little panicked, and regret appeared on his face, as if he was regretting his previous recklessness.

Since Luozhou is Luoyang and as the capital of Wuzhou, Luozhou can serve as the Sima of Luozhou, he also has a huge say in the court.

He was just a scholar who took the exam, but now he actually contradicted the Grand Sima, which was simply seeking death.

What is the Grand Sima? The Grand Sima is the Minister of War, and the second-rank official position. In modern times, it is the position of Minister of National Defense.

Of course, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Grand Sima was mainly in charge of logistics, military affairs, military expenditure and security, and was a real powerful minister.

"Now, each of you has done anything from You to Xu, and everyone you have met, say it all, and it starts with you." Di Renjie pointed to the scholar and said.

"Students are studying in the guest room, by the way...the student Qin Pei, whose courtesy name is Wenru, was born as a Juren, and was a student who went to Beijing to take the exam."

"Can anyone prove it?"

"This guy can testify that he sent a midnight snack to the students."

"Can you testify for him?" Di Renjie looked at the named friend and asked.

"The villain can indeed testify, and the villain does give this gentleman a midnight snack."

"So what are you doing before you get here?"

"The villain is busy. A Chen and I have been busy all the time. There are many customers in the inn tonight, so I have been busy all the time. Six guests asked for midnight snacks... If you don't believe me, please ask A Chen."

Di Renjie turned to the guy named A Chen again: "Are you the chef in the store?"

"Sir... I... I am the cook. I have been in the kitchen and have not killed anyone." The chef named A Chen replied tremblingly. He didn't know what the Grand Sima was, but only knew that he was a high-ranking official.

“I haven’t left the kitchen at all?”

"I haven't come out." Ah Chen nodded repeatedly and kept swallowing.

"Can you two prove each other?"

"Yeah... Ah Chen has never left the kitchen."

Then Di Renjie asked everyone present one by one, even Di Renjie asked about the four or five-year-old child in the arms of a couple.

Of course, Di Renjie did not doubt the child, but tempted him to confirm his parents' testimony.

Finally, Di Renjie's eyes fell on Bai Chen: "Brother Bai, it's your turn."

"Uh... I went to bed after I went back to my room." Bai Chen said.

"Didn't leave the room at all?"

"I haven't come out before Lord Di knocked on the door." Bai Chen replied.

"Can anyone prove it?"

"Who else is required to have a sleeping test?" Bai Chen rolled his eyes.

"It's true." Di Renjie smiled: "But Brother Bai can tell me, do you go to bed so early every day?"

"When I have nothing to do, and no friends have time to chat, I naturally fall asleep early, otherwise? Just learn from him, are you still reviewing in the middle of the night? Or are you like a guy? You're busy for half a night?"

Di Renjie nodded: "Although you are very reasonable, I still think you are suspicious."

"You killed, you killed people. Where can you go to bed when you are normal people go to bed at Xu?" The scholar named Qin Pei immediately raised his voice and pointed at Bai Chen and shouted.

Bai Chen turned to look at the enemy: "Sir, are you making a statement?"

"I can't be sure yet, you are just one of the suspects." Di Renjie's eyes swept over everyone present again, and everyone was a little uncomfortable being swept by Di Renjie's eyes.

"Oh? Who else is the suspect besides me?"

"Young Master Qin, boss, these two girls, and Brother Bai."

"What? Why am I also a suspect? Sir, I didn't kill anyone. I didn't kill anyone." Qin Pei immediately cried out and was extremely excited.

However, Di Renjie ignored Qin Pei and analyzed one by one: "I suspect that you are not because you have no witness, but because you are too calm, as if you are used to seeing dead people or being used to killing people."

When Di Renjie spoke his analysis, the guards beside him unconsciously leaned towards Bai Chen, fearing that Bai Chen would suddenly start to hurt people.

"Mr. Qin doesn't look generous in his clothes, but he can actually eat midnight snacks... This makes me feel that he doesn't seem to be for midnight snacks, but just to find a certificate."

Di Renjie's words made Qin Pei's face abnormal and his eyes dodged.

Di Renjie said again: "The inn owner has no certificate either. He said he spent the whole night doing the accounting room, and there was no certificate. However, the ink marks on the account book he provided were obviously not written tonight."

Di Renjie pointed at the two girls again, looking at them, they should be women who are performing arts.

"The two dead were seen by them. According to their description, the male dead had invited them to go to the house to sing songs for them, but when they entered their room, the two dead were found."

Di Renjie named one by one and said, "The suspicion of others can be ruled out, and the murderer should be among you."

"Then Lord Di has a conclusion?" Bai Chen asked.

"Brother Bai, what did you do before?"

"A rich playboy." Bai Chen said.

Di Renjie shook his head: "You don't look like a playboy. I have been in Luoyang for more than 20 years, so how could I not recognize a playboy?"

"Then is Lord Di who determines that the villain is the murderer?"

Di Renjie shook his head: "I think your suspicion is the smallest."

"Can you tell me about the great opinions of the adults? What do I have the least suspicion? I should be the most suspicious? No one has any evidence and the identity is unknown. Compared to the few of them, the suspicion is much greater, right?"

"Who said there is no witness, I am a witness." Di Renjie said with a smile: "Brother Bai, you don't know yet. I live opposite you. If there is any movement in your room, I will not hear it. Moreover, your answer just now also shows that you have never left the room, otherwise, you would not know that I live opposite you."

"I may have climbed out of the window, and I may not have been going out from the main entrance to commit the crime." Bai Chen immediately grabbed Di Renjie's loophole.

Everyone was a little surprised. Di Renjie helped him clear his charges and even testified for him, but Bai Chen actually took the initiative to cause trouble for himself.

"It was drizzling outside just now. Although it was not heavy, the tiles were already wet. When I entered your room, I observed your shoes. There was no trace of water and my body was very clean. When I took you out of the room, I asked the guard to look at the window of your room. The window ridge was still dusty, which means that the window had not been opened for a long time."

"It also proves that this guy is not diligent and doesn't clean me up when I go to the room." Bai Chen glanced at the guy, who shrunk his head. (To be continued.)8
