Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 100 He started to take action!

This was mainly because Han Min knew Lu Qing very well. Every time Lu Qing took on a big case and before solving it, the entire case was the only thing on his mind, and he could not tolerate anything else.

Now the case of His Royal Highness Xiao Sizi is of self-evident importance. His Majesty even asked Lu Qing to promise to solve the case within seven days. In such a hurry, he also came to meet Qian Ming. Qian Ming has nothing to do with His Royal Highness Xiao Sizi. Does Lu Qing just have nothing to do and come here to watch the show?
Definitely related!

Including the case of the three officials who died previously, it was also related to His Highness Xiao Sizi!
Han Min knew it very well, but she just didn't say it before.

at this time.

Lu Qing's eyes flickered.

No answer.

In front of Han Min, a shrewd person, he felt that the more he spoke, the more he would reveal.

"Lu Shaoqing."

At this time, Han Min stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, saying meaningfully: "I have just checked the surroundings of this case. It is different from the previous three cases. The perpetrator's method is obviously not as skilled as the previous three cases. As long as we investigate more carefully, we can catch the murderer. Here... I'll leave it to you. You can mobilize the Jingzhao Yin guards as you like. I have to go back to check the other three cases."

After saying this, he gave instructions to several Jingzhao Yin officials regarding his orders and then turned and left.

Lu Qing looked at his departing back with a very complicated look.

"This...Sir Shaoqing, what does Han Fuyin mean? Handing over the Jingzhao Yin case to our Dali Temple? But this is not the normal procedure."

Lu Shi looked confused.

Lu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled and said, "It's nothing difficult to understand. It only means one thing. I, Qin Ziyi, owe Han Fuyin a favor."

Patting Lu Shi on the shoulder, Lu Qing turned and walked towards the crime scene.

How did this mean I owed you a favor?
Lu Shi was even more confused.

Forget it, I can’t figure it out.

He shook his head and thought no more.

Crime scene.

Li Hengyun, an official of Jingzhao Yin, saw Lu Qing coming and bowed, "Lu Shaoqing."

"Yes." Lu Qing looked at Madam Qian Ming and said calmly, "Li Canjun, you don't mind if I ask her to stop crying, right?"

Li Hengyun was stunned. Mrs. Qian Ming had been crying since she came in. They had no way to deal with it as she was a family member after all. Could Lu Qing have any solution?

Li Hengyun made a gesture of invitation and said, "Lu Shaoqing, I'll trouble you then."

"Yeah." Lu Qing nodded.

Lu Qing took a few steps forward and suddenly shouted, "That's enough."

"Don't cry. So many people are trying to persuade you. Do you think the Jingzhao Yin guards are trying to harm you?"

Lu Qing looked at the struggling Madam Qian Ming and said, "This is the first crime scene. There may be important evidence of the murderer left here. If you destroy it, the murderer who hurt your husband may never be found."

"What? Do you really want the murderer who hurt your husband to go unpunished? Don't you want to know who killed your husband? Don't you want to avenge your husband?"

When Mrs. Qian Ming heard Lu Qing's words, the fear she felt after being threatened by Lu Qing was still there. All of a sudden, she, who had just been struggling and crying, was suddenly stunned.

This made Li Hengyun and a group of Jingzhao Yin's guards behind him stunned.

However, Lu Shi was well aware of his Shaoqing's abilities and smiled complacently.

At this time, Mrs. Qian Ming stared at her husband blankly. Seeing her husband's unwillingness to die, she actually knelt down to Lu Qing and kowtowed.

"Lu Shaoqing, you... you were able to conclude that my husband and I were related to the man in black robes with just a little suspicion."

"I, I beg you to help me find the murderer. You must find the murderer who killed my husband!"

Lu Qing waved his hand and said, "Let's deal with it one by one. Although your husband has committed a serious crime and cannot escape the laws of the Tang Dynasty, he should be punished by the law, not killed by others maliciously."

"So, even if I don't take action, the government will not let your husband die in such an unclear way. They will not have any opinion on Qian Ming's case just because of the mistakes he made in the past."

Lu Qing's words made Jingzhao Yin Li Hengyun behind him feel uncomfortable.

He really wanted to say, Mr. Lu, there are also cases that our government cannot handle.

We, the Jingzhao Yin, also have many unsolved cases, so please take it easy.

Lu Qing paused, then continued, "Because this is related to Kaiyang, I will do my best to solve this case."

"It's just that you are too emotionally unstable right now. It would be best if you could think of some useful clues."

The woman who had been crying loudly just now actually nodded obediently at this moment.

No more noise, no more quarrels.

Just sobbing quietly beside.

This scene made everyone behind him stunned.

I can't stop looking at you with admiration!

Especially Li Hengyun, he knew very well how terrifying this crazy woman was.

He just had a headache, what should he do?

But I didn't expect that Lu Qing could make him obedient with just a few words. It was really amazing.

Li Hengyun came to Lu Qing and whispered, "Shaoqing Lu, I have learned that the prefect Zhao has handed this case over to you. So, I hope you can help me solve the case as soon as possible."

Lu Qing nodded, then smiled and said, "Look, Li Canjun has agreed to let me intervene in this case. Why don't you get out of the way and avoid disrupting the scene?"

Mrs. Qian Ming nodded, quickly wiped away her tears, stood up quickly and walked to the back.

Without being interrupted, Lu Qing took a look at Qian Ming's body and said, "Li Canjun, can you tell me how Qian Ming died?"

The words fell.

Li Hengyun said directly: "Lu Shaoqing, half an hour ago, the waiter of the restaurant suddenly ran to the government office to report that a murder had occurred in their restaurant, so I hurriedly brought people here."

"After arriving at the restaurant, I ordered people to seal off the restaurant and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving. This would prevent the murderer from escaping if he is still in the restaurant."

Lu Qing nodded. This approach was the right thing to do even if the Dali Temple came first.

Lu Qing took a look at the situation in the single room and saw that the table was overturned and some food was scattered on the ground. It was obvious that there had been some fighting.

He said, "Li, when you came here, was this the situation in the room?"

Li Hengyun nodded: "Yes, I have also asked the shopkeeper, and he said that after discovering the death, he sealed off the room and no one has entered since then, so the scene has not been damaged."

Lu Qing examined Qian Ming's body and found some knife wounds on his body, which seemed to indicate that he had been stabbed to death.

However, no sharp weapons were found at the scene.

"What did the coroner say?"

Lu Qing said: "Tell me about the deceased's situation."

The coroner came over quickly and said, "Lu Shaoqing, I'm the coroner. According to the examination, the time of death of the deceased is..."

"It was probably within two hours. The cause of death was a sharp object piercing the heart and lungs. He struggled and fought before his death."

"A sharp flaky weapon?"

"Well, judging from the condition of the wound, there's an 80% chance that it was caused by a dagger-like weapon," the coroner added.

dagger?

Lu Qing looked at Li Hengyun. Both of them were smart people. Li Hengyun knew what Lu Qing meant without asking. He shook his head and said, "We didn't find any daggers or similar weapons at the scene. I think they must have been taken away by the murderer."

"It was taken?"

Lu Qing narrowed his eyes. If the murder weapon was just an ordinary dagger, why would the murderer take the weapon away?
Aren’t you afraid of getting bloodstained or being discovered?
So it was unnecessary for the murderer to take away the weapons.

According to Lu Qing's calculations, if Kaiyang or someone from Kaiyang wanted to deal with Qian Ming, they should have killed him directly and then walked away.

Why do such useless things?
This is a bit strange.

Kaiyang is a cautious person and he is not the type of person who would do such a unnecessary thing.

Could it be that Kaiyang's men did it!
Lu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze began to wander around the room. Suddenly, his gaze stopped on the window.

I saw some blood on the window, and the body of the deceased was right next to the window.

"Why is there blood on the window?" Lu Qing asked puzzledly.

Li Hengyun said: "Maybe it was stained when the deceased was fighting with the murderer? Or maybe the murderer escaped through the window after killing someone, so there was some blood there."

Will it be so?
Lu Qing did not make a direct conclusion, but walked to the window.

After looking at the bloodstain, he put his hand on it and pulled it, and the window opened.

Lu Qing narrowed his eyes.

He looked outside and saw a poplar tree outside the window. He could really jump down from here.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

At this moment, a dog barking sound suddenly occurred.

Lu Qing lowered his head and looked down, and saw a doghouse under the window. There was a big black dog barking viciously.

When Lu Qing saw the dog, he found it extremely black! !
This is the backyard of the restaurant. It is obvious that the black dog belongs to the restaurant.

Lu Qing's eyes moved, and he found the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, have you heard your dog barking in the past two hours?"

The shopkeeper thought about it and shook his head, saying, "This... I'm ashamed to say that I haven't paid attention to it."

"I know."

The waiter suddenly came out and said loudly, "Sir, about an hour ago, I heard Dahei barking, but Dahei would bark sometimes when he heard some noise, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

"An hour ago?"

Lu Qing's eyes moved.

After the words were spoken, the scene fell into silence, and no one dared to break the silence.

After a while, Lu Shi suddenly said, "Sir Shaoqing, could this be the case?"

He walked up and proposed a hypothesis: "The murderer killed Qian Ming an hour ago, and then he was afraid of being discovered, so he jumped out of the window and ran away directly."

"But he didn't expect there was a doghouse below and a big black dog, so he attracted the dog's attention and the dog started barking at him."

When Lu Qing heard Lu Shi's speculation, he did not answer but shook his head.

Lu Shi's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but ask, "Sir Shaoqing, is it possible that my judgment is wrong?"

Lu Qing sighed and said, "Lu Shi, as an investigator, you have a big brain and dare to think and guess about anything. That's right."

"But the first thing we have to do is to refer to reality."

He pointed at the house opposite the doghouse and said leisurely, "Lu Shi, didn't you see? When the dog was barking just now, someone came out and scolded it, which means there was always someone in the backyard."

"If the murderer really escapes from here, do you think no one will notice? Do you really think they are blind?"

The waiter then said, "Someone is sick today and is resting. The room is right across from the doghouse. If the dog barks, he will be able to see what is happening in the courtyard immediately."

"So this official is actually right. No one can jump down from here and not be discovered."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shi scratched his head in embarrassment.

He thought his highlight moment had come.

But I didn't expect it to be so embarrassing.

Lu Qing smiled at this time and said, "But Lu Shi, don't be too shocked. You still gave me some ideas."

"A dog won't bark for no reason. Maybe something really has suddenly appeared."

"What is that?" Lu Shiyi was stunned.

It was just a black dog, and he couldn't think of any other connection with the barking except that it was caused by the murderer.

Lu Qing narrowed his eyes and said, "If my guess is correct, the case has actually been solved."

He whispered something in Lu Shi's ear.

Lu Shi suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Lu Qing, and asked in surprise: "Sir Shaoqing, is this...really possible?"

Lu Qing smiled and said, "Go ahead, Lu Shi, go down and take a look to see if my guess is correct."

Without any hesitation, Lu Shi whispered in the ears of several Jingzhao Yin guards, and soon several guards left.

Lu Qing looked at Li Hengyun and said, "Li Jun, Qian Ming is meeting two friends at the restaurant today. Go, call them over and tell them..."

Lu Qing narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "The murderer is among them. Whoever dares not come will be the murderer!!"

…………

Half an hour later.

The first person to arrive at the restaurant was not Qian Ming's two friends from other places, but Lu Shi.

To be precise, it was a carrier pigeon that kept pecking at him.

"Sir Shaoqing, help me, this damn pigeon keeps beating me."

Lu Shi was so angry after being pecked that he lost his temper.

Lu Qing took a look, his pupils shrank slightly, and he turned aside and said, "Go, catch that pigeon."

In an instant, two guards of Jingzhao Yin took action and after some effort, captured the pigeon and brought it to Lu Qing.

Lu Qing held the pigeon and looked at its legs, which was what attracted his attention.

Because here.

There is a note!
Taking the note from the pigeon, Lu Qing frowned and asked, "What could it be? Could it be the information sent by those people in Feiyufu?"

This is just a hunch, without any basis.

But sometimes intuition is also one of the factors in solving a case.

Didn't think much about it.

Lu Qing opened the note.

[Kaiyang will personally kill a person who knows his whereabouts at noon today.]

Just a few words, but it contains important news.

Lu Qing was stunned after reading it.
