Zhao Pu and Gongsun couldn't eat anymore, so they went to Liu's rice shop together.

At this moment, the rice shop was about to close, and the shopkeeper was checking out when he found that the shop was surrounded by a group of Imperial City troops.

When the old man came to his senses, the Kaifeng government officials also arrived and asked him where the rice came from today.

The big shopkeeper was confused and took everyone to the warehouse to take a look.

The warehouse of Liujia Rice Shop is in the backyard of the shop. There are three huge barns with several rice outlets around the barns. When the rice comes out, they always use cloth bags to collect it.

The officials asked if the rice was bagged and sold on the same day every day, and the shopkeeper said that was correct.

When Liu Yuanwai, the head of Mipu, arrived, Zhao Pu and Gongsun also arrived.

The investigation was Gongsun's business. Zhao Pu just came with him to take a look, but the owner of the rice shop was very frightened. A broken body was found in his rice bag, and the news had spread... Liu Yuanwai felt his head buzzing.

His family has been a rice shop for several generations. Will it be finished in his generation? There are corpses in this rice bag. Will anyone be willing to buy his rice in the future?

Liu Yuanwai's heart was almost broken and he stamped his feet, "Oh, how could such a thing happen?!"

The Imperial City Army sent out by Ouyang Shao Zheng had already searched every restaurant. Most of the rice delivered during the day had been opened, and no bodies were found. However, the bags of rice delivered in the evening would not be opened until tomorrow. The Imperial City Army searched for a

Circle, and many more body parts were found.

It was dinner time now, and all the restaurants were full of dinner guests. What did I hear?! The rice in my hand was stocked with the corpses... Ouch!

These diners were also in bad luck. Many of their rice bowls were thrown away. Some who had just finished eating ran out and squatted in the corner to vomit. The waiters in the restaurant also stamped their feet and cursed in the street. Who is so wicked! Where to hide the body, even in the rice shop!

Gongsun climbed up to the high barn to check, and found blood on the handrail at the top of the ladder on the west one of the three.

The shopkeeper had just opened the lid of the barn. Gongsun stood on the top and looked down. There was still half a meter left in the barn.

Gongsun seemed to see a black thing in the corner, so he leaned forward and looked inside. Zhao Pu looked anxiously at the bottom of the ladder, thinking to himself that the bookworm wouldn't fall in if he went further down...

Zhao Pu was worried, and sure enough, Gongsun Gudong fell into the barn.

The Ninth Prince was startled. He jumped up to the roof of the barn and looked down...

The people surrounding the barn heard Zhao Pu laughing from the top.

In the barn, Gongsun sat in the rice pile with his arms folded and an unhappy look on his face. Half of his body was in the rice. He was not injured at all, but he could not stand steady. As soon as he stood up, the rice on the ground moved. Mr. Gongsun

He staggered and fell again, lying on the pile of rice.

Gongsun was quite angry when he heard Zhao Pu smiling happily on the roof of the barn.

But now that he was down, he simply crawled over to take a look at the black thing.

When they got close, Gongsun stretched out his hand and pulled...a black shoe with a sock-clad foot in the shoe.

Gongsun frowned and saw that the size of his feet belonged to a man, so there was more than just little Changsu in the body?

Zhao Pu also saw it from above. He jumped down and stepped on the rice, which made a crunching sound as if he were stepping on snow.

"There seem to be two corpses." Gongsun turned around and said to Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu stretched out his hand and waved to him, "I'll ask the rice shop owner to open the rice warehouse and look carefully. You come here first."

Gongsun wanted to take the foot back, but Zhao Pu pointed at the shoe in his hand and said, "Throw it away!"

Gongsun had no choice but to put his foot on the spot, turned around and moved towards Zhao Pu with all his strength.

Zhao Pu reached out and took Gongsun's extended hand, pulled him into his arms, and then jumped up to the entrance of the rice warehouse.

The two of them were shaking their clothes and boots. Gongsun was dressed in white, which was okay, while Zhao Pu was wearing black and was covered in rice flour, and he was shaking his clothes vigorously.

After jumping down with Gongsun, Zhao Pu asked the imperial army to open a warehouse to store rice and look for the body.

The two of them looked at the ground... There was no blood on the ground, so how did the body parts get into the rice warehouse?

Liu Yuanwai and the shopkeeper of Mipu sat beside him with dejected faces.

Zhao Pu asked them, would outsiders come in this yard?

Big shopkeepers say that there is basically no such thing, but the shopping scene is relatively good these days, and there are many people buying and selling goods... But if someone climbs into the barn carrying a corpse, he will definitely be discovered.

"What about at night?" Gongsun asked.

"The lid on the roof of the barn is locked at night." Liu Yuanwai showed Gongsun and Zhao Pu the lock. One lock was intact and there was no sign of being picked.

Gongsun asked, "How many people have the key?"

"It's just me and the shopkeeper." Liu Yuanwai said, looking at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper felt unjust, "Sir, I have been working in Mipu for more than thirty years..."

Liu Yuanwai nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and told Gongsun and Zhao Pu that the shopkeeper had always been loyal and could not throw corpses into the rice warehouse.

"Then have you offended anyone recently?" Gongsun asked, "Or have you any competition from your peers?"

At this point, Zhao Pu suddenly asked, "Did your shop provide the rice for this wedding banquet?"

Liu Yuanwai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Nine Princes, I am only a millet shop, and the one chosen this time is the Chen family's rice shop.

Zhao Pu asked Gongsun, "Which family will expand the charity hall for you? You cured his son's illness..."

Gongsun nodded, "I guess so."

After Zhao Pu heard this, he looked at Gongsun - so what you said before was all related to the wedding... Is this an exception?

Gongsun folded his arms and wondered - is it just a coincidence?

The Imperial City Army and the Kaifeng government officials were busy sifting rice to find the corpse. Zhao Pu took Gongsun away, meaning he went to the door and walked around.

Gongsun was puzzled, but he still followed Zhao Pu out of the rice shop.

Zhao Pu stood on the street in front of the rice shop and looked around.

This area is the bustling city of Kaifeng City, with a lot of small businesses, many private houses, and alleys and alleys crisscrossing it.

Next to the rice shop is a small pawn shop and a porcelain shop, and there are a few ordinary houses behind it. Opposite there is a small restaurant, a shop that sells oil, salt, soy and vinegar, and a shop that sells wontons for breakfast.

The Ninth Prince looked back and forth along the street, and Gongsun followed him at first, but then he became confused and asked him, "What are you looking at?"

Zhao Pu whispered to Gongsun, "It's a bit strange."

"How do you say that?" Gongsun was puzzled.

"Come here." Zhao Pu took Gongsun back to the rice shop and stood beside the barn. Zhao Pu pointed to the ground and showed it to Gongsun.

The floor of the rice warehouse is just ordinary dirt, with a lot of ash and crumbs on the ground, which have all been trampled to pieces.

Ordinary warehouses basically have this kind of floor, and Gongsun didn't understand what was strange.

Walking to the barn where the body was found, Zhao Pu swept away some debris on the ground with his feet.

Gongsun saw a large pool of blood, speckled with blood.

Gongsun looked at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu said, "Although there is only a little blood on the top of the ladder, the person who put the corpse should have been on the ladder for a long time.

As Zhao Pu said this, he took Gongsun to the other side of the ladder, which was almost in the same position. He swept away the ashes and debris on the ground, and there was also a large pool of blood.

Gongsun blinked and looked around.

"Are there two corpses in the rice barn?" Zhao Pu asked Gongsun, holding out two fingers.

Gongsun nodded.

"How can you put two corpses, even chopped into pieces, on the roof of a barn that high? Then there is no blood on the ladder, but there is blood on the top and on both sides of the ground?" Zhao Pu asked.

Mr. Gongsun thought for a while and suddenly clapped his hands, "Want to pick up a pole?"

Zhao Pu smiled, "I think so too."

Gongsun thought thoughtfully, "So the murderer really climbed the stairs?"

"There is a lot of blood on the ground. It feels like it took a long time to climb up." Zhao Pu said, "It shouldn't be some martial arts master who flew over with two cloth bags."

"This barn is very close to the back door." Gongsun looked in the direction of the door, took a broom and swept away the gravel and ash on the ground.

However, there was no blood on the ground.

"There is nothing on the ground..." Gongsun frowned, "How did that person get in?"

"Not only is there no blood on the ground, there is also no blood on the ground in the alley or nearby streets." Zhao Pu spread his hands.

When Gongsun heard this, he suddenly thought of something, grabbed Zhao Pu's hand, and ran out.

The Ninth Prince followed Mr. Gongsun and ran out of the rice shop.

This time it was Gongsun's turn to look at the intersection.

I saw Mr. Gongsun running aside for a few steps and then ran into the alley.

Zhao Pu was led through several alleys by him. Gongsun suddenly stopped and pulled Zhao Pu to hide against the wall.

The Ninth Prince looked at Gongsun in confusion - What's going on?

Gongsun stretched out his hand and pointed to a shop in the alley.

Zhao Pu took a look.

It turned out to be a butcher shop.
