Chapter 108 One more corpse
If Zhou Zhao hadn't been told to be cautious by the Letter to the Dead Wife, Su Changying would not have arranged for the Northern Army to be on standby near the Zhaixing Tower in advance.
The Star Building collapsed. In order to save more people, she had to force herself again and again...
Maybe before the small building collapsed for the second time, she would no longer be able to float to the shore. Even if she persists until now, she and Su Changying will separate to save people. Then she will be smashed into the bottom of the water by a heavy object just now, and together with this secret body, she will become a new secret.
But was her death destined, or was it intentional?
According to the first notice of death of his wife, she died in Tianying City, so what will be the ending of the story? Ah Huang returns to Chang'an with Su Changying who has no memory?
If she died today, what would be the outcome? As the builder of Star Reaching Tower, Chu You will be in a dead end. She will be besieged and then imprisoned...
Zhou Zhao took a deep breath.
The collapse of the Star Building was not a one-day event, so could it be that today's situation was not aimed at her, but against Chu You?
But why? The Chu family has declined, and Chu You has been keeping a very low profile in recent years. Why would someone set a trap for her?
Or maybe it is because of the Shanming Changyang case that put them in danger several times.
Could it be that the murderer was in the dark, watching them all the time.
Zhou Zhao couldn't help but feel horrified as he thought about it.
"A Zhao, come up quickly!"
Liu Huang's shout brought Zhou Zhao back to her senses instantly. She calmed down her thoughts and swam toward the shore with Su Changying and the body.
When he reached the edge, Liu Huang reached out and pulled Zhou Zhao and Su Changying up at the same time.
The moment Zhou Zhao landed, Min Zangzhi handed him a bowl of ginger soup.
He looked at Su Changying who was standing aside, with an indescribable complexity in his expression, "Zhu Li has blocked the surrounding streets with horses as you said. Everyone in Zhaixing Tower is here. Here it is.”
"There are a total of six wine doctors in Zhaixinglou who are responsible for attracting guests. These people are well-trained and can basically remember the faces of the diners, how many people are in which room, and what kind of dishes are going to be served. I followed their instructions. Yes, we made a roster, and the one you dragged up just now is already the last one.”
"Four dead, seven injured, and one missing."
Min Zangzhi said with a somewhat sad expression. The Star-Zhaing Tower was bustling just now, but now it was full of crying.
"The injured have been treated by doctors, and there is no danger to their lives. All the people who fell into the water drank the decoction to dispel colds and relieve shock, and they are not seriously injured. Among the people who died, one was the chef of the restaurant, and the other was There is another man in his early twenties who is playing the piano on the top floor. The fourth person is the one you just dragged up.”
"There is still one person who has not been found, so we can only wait for news from the person who found the body."
Min Zangzhi said, looked around, and lowered his voice and said, "Those who came to Zhaixinglou today are probably not ordinary people..."
"How could a good wine shop collapse on the first day it was built?"
"That's right! Where is the owner of Zhaixinglou? My wife brought the young man and the young lady out today. Not only was she frightened, but she almost lost her life!"
"Where is my boss? Do you know who my young master is? Could it be that your Star-Zhaing Tower is made of paper!"
"If I had known, I wouldn't have come here! This Xingxing Building was formerly the Linjiang Building, and my boss was burned to death in the building! Someone was killed here a few days ago! This is a murderous building!"
Previously, everyone was anxiously trying to save people, but no one paid any attention to it.
Now that the dust has settled, people are starting to get angry.
Most of the people who came to Zhaixing Tower for a drink at noon were not ordinary people, and there were also quite a few people with official status like Li Youdao. After all, ordinary people may not even have enough to eat, so why would they come to a restaurant?
While he was talking, a fat man in the crowd stood up tremblingly. Zhou Zhao took a closer look and was speechless. She clearly recognized this fat man, but he was not the one who took advantage of her to escape and jumped and hugged her thigh, almost almost The guy who killed her?
The fat man bent down with his hands in hand, turned around and bowed with tears in his eyes, "I am Du Ziteng, the owner of this Star Building."
"You are wronged, Lao Du is wronged by me too! I spent all my money to hire someone to build this star-picking tower, but even if it collapsed and hit me in the face that day, I never thought it would collapse! I really... I really died unjustly... I haven’t even made a fortune yet!”
As Du Ziteng spoke, he searched the crowd and shouted, "Where's Chu You! Where's Chu Hang? You uncle and nephew must give me an explanation!"
"You built this Star Building. I paid so much money, why did you build me such a collapse building!"
Zhou Zhao and Min Zangzhi looked at each other, solemnity flashing in their eyes.
Until the matter is clarified, Chu You and Chu Hang may not be able to escape this prison sentence!
"Brother Du, I have long advised you not to let women..."
Before the little old man finished speaking, he was forcibly interrupted by Zhou Zhao, "What exactly happened will be determined after Tingwei Temple investigates. We are all decent people, and we just escaped death, and now we have to Biting each other? ”
Zhou Zhao said, looking sharply at the old man who spoke last.
"You old man are too forgetful. Just now you wanted to hug me, a woman's feet, and beg me to save you. In the end, it was indeed me, a woman, who dived into the water and snatched you back from the hands of the Lord of Hell. .”
Zhou Zhao's voice was loud and clear, and everyone present looked over.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Her hair was wet, her official robe was clinging to her body, and her cuffs were torn, but no one present dared to look down upon her.
Just now everyone saw that it was Zhou Zhao and Su Changying who entered the water over and over again to rescue them.
When the old man heard this, he looked away in shame and avoided Zhou Zhao's sight.
Zhou Zhao did not hold on to him. She looked at everyone coldly and said decisively, "Bring Chu You, Chu Hang, and Du Dong's family from Zhaixing Tower back to Tingwei Temple. I want to take the body back." From what I can tell, everyone in Zhaixing Tower today needs to tell Min Wenshu where you were and who was around you at that time.”
"The collapse of the Star-Zhaing Tower was a man-made disaster. Even if you are venting your anger on yourself, you should tell the truth and bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible."
"After that, I'll trouble my brothers from the Northern Army to escort you back home."
Zhou Zhao said, whispering a few words into Min Zangzhi's ear.
Min Zangzhi was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly.
When everyone saw that Zhou Zhao acted decisively and had regulations in place, they all fell silent.
Zhou Zhao did not hesitate and waved to the several wine doctors standing in a group. The six wine doctors came over and said, "Identify the corpses on the ground to see if they came with him. Who else is there?”
Dr. Jiu, who had led Zhou Zhao and others upstairs, immediately stood up and said, "Master Xiao Zhou, it was the villain who led him. There are two other people in the same room."
As Dr. Jiu spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at another corpse lying on the ground. It was a man about twenty years old. Next to him, squatting was a young man with a sad face. He gave birth to a child. Facing her beautiful peach blossom eyes, her lips pursed into a thin line.
Seeing Zhou Zhao looking at him, he began to cry, "Three of us brothers came to drink, and now I am the only one."
Zhou Zhao looked at him deeply and heard a splash of water behind him.
She turned around, her pupils shrank sharply, and she saw two body fishermen who had entered the water again at some point, and each of them came up with a body on his back.
The back of one of them is a thin man in his forties, while the other is a mummy...
Just now Min Zangzhi said that one person is missing.
But now, there is one more.
