starry night.

In the lobby on the first floor of Fuyuan Inn, only the shopkeeper and a waiter are still sitting in the hall.

The abacus beads on the shopkeeper's hand crackled, as if something was wrong, he frowned, set the abacus beads again and calculated again.

The waiter in the shop was cleaning up the tables and stools, but after cleaning up, he simply sat down, thinking that there would be no customers at this late hour, so he simply lay down on the table to sleep.

After a while, he was awakened by a movement, raised his head and wiped his eyes, and found a girl standing at the entrance of the shop.

Xiaoer turned around and saw that the shopkeeper's face had darkened, and hurriedly got up to entertain the girl.

"Girl to be a top student or stay in a hotel?"

Even though I asked this question, in fact, it is only possible to stay in a hotel. It is so late that no one will just come in for a meal.

Sure enough, the little girl replied "staying at the hotel", looked around the lobby again, and asked again: "Is there any room left?"

She carried a bag on her shoulders, and a pair of black eyeballs swept around.

This girl is Jian Jia.

"Yes, there just happens to be a guest room." Xiao Er replied with a smile, and then led Jian Jia to the shopkeeper's place to get the key.

After looking at Jian Jia, the shopkeeper handed the waiter a bunch of keys. The keys jingled, especially crisp in the silent night.

The left hand couldn't do without the abacus, and the right hand opened the account book and wrote down a sum on it, saying: "The rest are local hotel rooms, [-] yuan a night."

Jian Jia took out a bunch of money from the package, counted them and placed them on the counter.

The waiter led Jian Jia up the stairs. There was a musty smell in the corridor. The stairs were in disrepair for a long time, and occasionally there would be a "creaking" sound when stepping on them.

Jian Jia followed the waiter up to the second floor, and arrived at the door with the signboard "Dizi No. [-]".

The waiter lowered his head and fumbled for the keys, picked out one of them and opened the lock for Jian Jia to enter, and then followed him in.

After the house was settled properly, the waiter came out first, and Jian Jia also closed the door and went downstairs after a while. She not only locked the door lock, but also checked repeatedly.

The lock was indeed locked, and then Jian Jia put the key in her arms and went downstairs.

Jian Jia ate little of the simple side dishes downstairs, and looked towards the door a few times, but Sun Wei still couldn't wait, so he went upstairs again.

During this period, no one approached her, and no one touched her house key.

After going up to the second floor and returning to the room, Jian Jia washed her face and put the washbasin filled with water at the door, closed the window and lay down on the bed to rest.

At this moment, two people had appeared under her bed without anyone noticing, one was King Gao Sheng who pretended to be the victim Yang Nie, and the other was Jiang Youbi who made the case repeat itself.

Jiang Youpan knocked on the bed with his face up, telling Jian Jia not to be overly frightened.

Then he said loudly: "Jian Jia, His Highness King Gao Sheng has witnessed the mystery of the corpse hidden in the Fuyuan Inn, you can get up now."

Jian Jia saw Jiang Yousi and Gao Shengwang get out from under the bed one after another. This scene was exactly the same as when the government servants found Yang Nie's body from under the bed.

Even though it happened several months ago, it is still vivid in my memory.Yang Nie was wearing a blue brocade robe with patterns of orchids on it, but the elegant and elegant flowers were dyed bloody red at that time, which looked coquettish and weird.

Yang Nie died in a miserable state. He cut his throat to death with a knife, his ear was mutilated, and he died without a whole body.

During his lifetime, he was a handsome and handsome Mr. Jia, but when he died, he was unkempt and had no appearance at all.

Even though they have parted ways with Yang Nie, the old friendship is still there. Jian Jia is a very emotional person, and she couldn't help crying after seeing Yang Nie's death.

King Gao Sheng was still well-groomed and had a straight bun. When he came out, he first brushed off the dust on his sleeves, and then said in a deep voice, "It turns out that Yang Nie was killed in this way and then blamed others. Among the assassins who bought the bone building, such a trick can be used." The only one who kills the target is Tao Buchang."

Jiang Yousi interjected, "Taobuhuan was not in Jiangzhou at that time, she was committing crimes elsewhere at that time, and this matter is recorded in the files of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

"Master Jiang has noticed the movement of Tao Buchang since then?" King Gao Sheng asked.

"Never..." Jiang Yousi replied, "I went to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice to obtain all the files about her after receiving the imperial order to investigate Taobuhuan, so I remember where she did what."

"This king almost forgot, Jiang Bangyan has the ability to never forget." After finishing speaking, King Gao Sheng turned to Liu Er and Tao Buhuan, who had just opened the door and walked in. Tao Buhuan brought another person in, and this person was The waiter of Fuyuan Inn.

When the waiter saw a few people in the room, he avoided his eyes and said in a trembling voice: "Guests, I really don't know what happened that night, so please let me go? You can ask the shopkeeper if you have anything to do. The shopkeeper knows everything."

Liu Er snorted coldly: "There are some things that you shopkeepers may not all know." She took out a bunch of keys, "It was said that there was only one room left on the night when the crime happened, and every guest was given a key, why? Will there still be so many keys on this ring?"

The waiter shivered, and replied with a guilty conscience: "The rest of the keys are for our own residence, and some are for the stables, the backyard door, and the kitchen door, so there will be so many left."

Tao Buhuan took over the bunch of keys at this time, and signaled to everyone: "You all follow me, the mystery will be revealed soon."

Jiang Yousi coughed lightly, turned sideways to Goldman Sachs and said, "My lord, please—"

It was only then that Tao Buhuan remembered that there was still a prince here, so he stopped, and stood respectfully to one side like Jiang Youbo, letting King Gao Sheng go first.

King Gao Sheng looked at Tao Buhuan and said, "You lead the way."

Tao Buhuan took the key and led the crowd to the corridor on the second floor. This row was all the same facade. Tao Buhuan walked to the door next door, which is Dizi No. [-], and found a key from the key chain. , Insert it against the door lock, and only heard a click, and the door lock opened.

Tao Buhuan stood at the door and pushed open the door, introducing this room as if trying to woo business on the street: "Welcome to the real Dizi No. [-] room."

Jian Jia trembled all over when she heard the words, she first looked at Jiang Youpan, who nodded at her slightly.

Then Jian Jia stepped into the room next door.I saw that the patterns of the bed, table, washbasin, wooden frame and windows in the room were all the same as those in Dizi No. [-] guest room just now.

A thought suddenly flashed in Jian Jia's mind, and her lips lost their color and became a little pale because of this thought.

Walking slowly to the window, she pushed open the sash, and after looking down at the small river outside, her whole body went limp, as if she had lost all her strength.

Tao Buchang stepped forward and firmly supported Jian Jia who was about to collapse.

Jiang Yousi from behind came over and asked, "Is the view from the window here different from the one next door?"

Jian Jia’s eyes darkened, and she said in a daze, “I can’t see the meander of the river below here, it’s slightly different from the one next door. I didn’t notice it before, but now I find out...

Master Jiang, I am such a fool, why did I not realize until now that the first time I came in and the second time I came in two completely different rooms?

Why am I so stupid... I misunderstood that the person Sun Wei likes is me, and I want to elope with him, and I misunderstand that Yang Nie has gone astray, and I want to divorce him..."

Big teardrops slid down her cheeks, but Yang Nie couldn't see the tears and repentance at this moment.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Youpan felt a little turmoil in his heart, but the turmoil was only for a moment. Jiang Youpan quickly calmed down, looking around this room with the same layout as the No. [-] room next door: "Miss Jianjia has verified Contrary to my guess, this is the real Dizi No. [-] guest room, which is the room Jian Jia entered for the first time that day."

Although Liu'er already knew some of the strange things in the middle, she still couldn't figure it out as a whole, so she asked, "I'm confused, the sign hanging on the door is clearly the number two guest room, why is it number three?"

Jiang Yousi replied: "The sign at the door can be moved arbitrarily, and there are guest rooms all around, with five rooms in the east and west rows, and a total of twelve rooms in a circle.

If you go upstairs when you are tired at night, coupled with the dim light and the deliberate guidance of the waiter in the store, no one will decide how many rooms you have passed through, and whether the person who opened the door was No. [-] or No. [-]. "

Seeing that Liu'er and Jian Jia still had doubts, Jiang Yousi walked to the door, exchanged the number two and three at the door, and explained in detail: "That night, the waiter took Jian Jia upstairs, and the one who went in first It is the third room counting from the stairs, which is the room we are in at this time, we will treat it as "Dizi Room No. [-]" for the time being.

After the waiter opened the door, he found a key from the key chain and gave it to Jian Jia.

After Jian Jia went downstairs, the waiter exchanged the number plate of the No. [-] room with that of the No. [-] room.

Therefore, when Jian Jia finished her meal and went upstairs again, what she entered was not the original room at all, but the original No. [-] room. "

"One thing is wrong..." Liu'er frowned and shook her head, "If the house number is just changed, then the key that has always been on Miss Jian Jia's body will not be able to open the lock at all."

Jiang Yousi glanced at the waiter in the shop and said, "This question has been answered just now. The key on Jian Jia's body can open the door because the waiter in the shop deliberately gave her the key to open the original No. [-] room when he gave her the key." the key.

Jian Jia thought that she had already locked the door, but in fact she had indeed locked the original No. [-] room, but she was holding the key to the unlocked No. [-] room. "

Liu Er understood immediately, and after being shocked, she came back to her senses and said, "At that time, the lock of Room No. [-] was not fastened, so you could enter and exit freely? What if the murderer and Yang Nie were inside, and the murderer killed Yang Nie and hid the body under the bed, and then The murderer swaggered out, and even got the key to live in the next door...

And when Miss Jian Jia came back, she used the key in her hand to open what she thought was the original room, and Yang Nie's body was already under the bed in this room..."

The more Liu Er thought about it, the more frightening she became: "The murderer completed a plan of stealing the sky and changing the sun, and successfully transferred the suspicion of killing Yang Nie to Miss Jian Jia."

Jiang Yousi signaled Tao Buhuan to push the waiter out. The waiter's knees softened, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "I really didn't know there would be dead people. I really didn't have the guts to kill people. Please forgive me, gentlemen and ladies." ..."
