Chapter 5 Murder Case
The little boy was only eleven or twelve years old, and Gong Dao didn't want to punish him severely, so he just gave him an education.

They sent someone to send him home so that his family could discipline him well.

Just after finishing dealing with the little boy's matter, a policeman ran over from a distance and shouted: "Gongtou is not good, a murder has occurred in Baihualou!"

When Gong Dao heard that there was a murder case, he didn't dare to neglect, and rushed to the crime scene with his people.

Baihualou is the largest brothel in Jiangcheng, and many high-ranking officials and nobles will patronize it.

It is rumored that the boss of Baihualou has a very close relationship with the City Lord's Mansion, so no one has ever dared to make trouble in Baihualou.

Gong Dao seemed to be very afraid of the people behind Baihualou, so he explained his purpose to the madam, and then went to the scene of the crime under the guidance of the madam.

The old bustard introduced: "My lord, this is Cui Liu's room. The person who died was his benefactor, Hemingway, the second son of Fuchun Restaurant."

Gong Dao said politely: "Thank you, Sister Mei, for leading the way. Can we go in and investigate the scene?"

"Of course, it is the responsibility of the officials to solve the case. How dare I stop you." Although Sister Mei said so, there was no respect on her face, but a faint disgust.

This is also easy to understand. It is no wonder that those who run brothels have a good impression of the government.

Mu Liufeng was surprised at the side, Gong Daoyi, the deputy head arrester, would be so "submissive" to a procuress in a brothel?
Only then did I know that the rumors were true, Baihualou was definitely not as simple as a brothel!It seems that the water in Jiangcheng is very deep!

Entering Cui Liu's room, there is a row of bead curtains hanging in front of you.

Behind the bead curtain is a table with a cup of strong tea on it.

There is a screen not far from the table, and behind the screen is a wooden barrel.

Hemingway was lying on his back in the barrel, his eyes were bleeding, apparently died of poisoning.

The water in the wooden barrel is still steaming, and there are many thorn petals floating on the surface of the water.

The windows on all sides are closed, intact, and there is no sign of tampering.

After inspecting the scene, Mu Liufeng couldn't help but think of the well-known killing method on Earth, killing in a secret room.

The situation at the scene was very strange, and Gong Dao didn't seem to see any clues, so he couldn't help but turned around and asked Mu Liufeng: "Did you see anything?"

Ever since Mu Liufeng solved two cases in a row, Gong Dao already had a high opinion of him.

Mu Liufeng already has a rough guess in his heart, but guesses are not equal to the facts, so it is not good to speak out rashly.

Mu Liufeng only picked out some certain things and said: "The deceased was obviously poisoned to death, so he must have committed homicide. It's just that the method and motive of the killing are still unknown, and the case is a bit tricky."

Xiao Ren sneered at the side: "Mu Liufeng, everyone can see what you said, doesn't it mean you didn't say it?"

Mu Liufeng gave Xiao Ren a cold look, I didn't bother you, but you first troubled me?

Xiao Ren deliberately provoked trouble, and of course Mu Liufeng would not be polite, and asked Xiao Ren in a very funny tone: "Then tell me, who is the real culprit?"

Xiao Ren was dumbfounded for a moment, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

He and Mu Liufeng were admitted to the trap door at the same time, and they both belonged to that kind of bottom existence.

There is a rule in the arresting sect. At the end of each month, the person with the worst performance among the trainee agents will be eliminated.

In the beginning, Xiao Ren and Mu Liufeng were similar, and both might be eliminated.

But today, Mu Liufeng seemed to be a different person. He solved two cases in a row and won Gong Dao's appreciation.

At the end of the month assessment, Mu Liufeng will definitely not be eliminated, so the one who will be eliminated must be Xiao Ren.

Xiao Ren was unhappy, so he jumped out and laughed at Mu Liufeng.

In the eyes of Mu Liufeng today, Xiao Ren is just a clown.

Mu Liufeng didn't want to pay attention to him at all, turned around and said to Gong Dao: "Gong Tou, if you want to solve the case, I'm afraid you have to ask the relevant people about the situation at that time."

Gong Daolian said that he was reasonable and asked to call all the people related to this matter to question him.

The first party involved was Cui Liu, and Hemingway died in her room, the most suspect.

But Cui Liu said that when the incident happened, she was chatting in Yihong's room, and she had an alibi.

The second party is Xiao Er, and he prepared the bath water.

Xiao Er said that he was only responsible for delivering hot water, and after delivering the hot water to the room, he left with an alibi.

The third party involved is Cui Liu's personal maid, Xiao Cui.

Xiao Cui said that she also left after delivering the tea and preparing the vitex flowers for bathing, and she also had an alibi.

All three have alibis, and there are many who can testify.

After a round of questioning, there was almost no gain, which added more doubts to this already weird murder case in a secret room.

Seeing that there was no clue, Gong Dao ordered people to take away Hemingway's body and sealed off the crime scene.

When he left at the end, Mu Liufeng glanced at the cup of strong tea intentionally or unintentionally, showing a thoughtful expression.

Mu Liufeng has received a system reminder that if he solves the case, he can be rewarded with 50 justice points.

Adding in the 20 justice points obtained from solving the previous case, Mu Liufeng will soon be able to gather 100 justice points to refine the second form of Haoran Nine Forms.

So he took the case very seriously.

Almost at the same time that Mu Liufeng and the others left Baihualou, Hemingway's father, Hai Dafu, had already entered the City Lord's Mansion.

Hai Dafu's younger sister is the third concubine of the city lord.Now that his son died inexplicably, how could Hai Dafu not go to the City Lord's Mansion to ask his sister for help?

After Hai Dafu cried, his sister went to the city lord to cry again.

The city lord loved this little concubine who worked the hardest on the bed very much, so he ordered the Yamen to solve the case within half a month.

The owner of the Yamen found Zheng Yi, the chief arrester, and ordered him to solve the case within ten days.

Zheng Yi approached Gong Dao, who was in charge of the case, and ordered him to solve the case within five days.

Early the next morning, Mu Liufeng came to the yamen and found Gong Dao with two dark circles under his eyes, looking sluggish.

Mu Liufeng said with concern: "Gongtou, why does he look like this? Could it be that he didn't sleep all night last night?"

Gong Dao said listlessly: "The higher-ups have five days to solve the case, how dare I relax. I stayed in the autopsy room last night."

Because of the mission, Mu Liufeng cared more about this case than anyone else, and hurriedly asked, "Have you found any results?"

Gong Dao sighed: "It's good to have a result. It can only be confirmed that the deceased died of poisoning, but what kind of poison it is, it can't be tested."

Mu Liufeng was speechless, and made no progress after working on it for a long time.

However, based on Gong Dao's experience in handling cases, he didn't even detect any poison in the deceased, which really surprised Mu Liufeng:
"How is it possible? Wu Zuo is also an experienced old man. He has never seen any poison before. How can he not even know what poison is in the dead?"

Gong Dao was also very puzzled: "This is the strange place. I also have more than ten years of experience in handling cases. I have never seen this kind of poison before. Do you think it is strange?"

Muliu Fengxin said that to complete the task, you have to rely on yourself.

However, Mu Liufeng's idea can only be realized with the support of Gong Dao, so he said to Gong Dao:

"Tou Gong, in fact, I have roughly deduced the murderer's modus operandi, but there are still some doubts that have not been clarified. If Tou Gong is willing to believe me, I promise to help you solve the case within three days."

"You can find the real culprit within three days?" Gong Dao looked at Mu Liufeng in disbelief.

"As long as Gongtou is willing to cooperate with me!" In fact, Mu Liufeng was not completely sure, but in order to get Gong Dao to support him, he could only tell a white lie.

Gong Dao stared at Mu Liufeng for three seconds: "Tell me, how can I cooperate?"

Mu Liufeng smiled mysteriously: "It's fine to pay people and money."

With Gong Dao's permission, Mu Liufeng changed into casual clothes, took the 1000 gold coins that Gong Dao applied for him, and went out.

Zheng Yi shook his head and said to Gong Dao: "Do you really believe that this trainee police officer can help you solve the case? And you even applied for such a large fee for him. If I remember correctly, he has only been in this industry for more than two months Bar!"

Gong Dao, however, was full of confidence: "Boss, don't underestimate this kid, he has a clever mind. And you're in such a hurry, I'm not a dead horse as a living horse doctor!"

Zheng Yi suddenly sympathized with his old friend. It was indeed difficult for Gong Dao to solve the case within five days.

But Zheng Yi also knew that Gong Dao would not do anything he was not sure of, so he couldn't help laughing and cursing:
"Stop talking nonsense to me, tell me what's so special about this kid, I don't believe you would trust a trainee catcher for no reason."

Gong Dao then told the whole story about Mu Liufeng's two consecutive cases yesterday, and Zheng Yi was amazed after hearing this.

Zheng Yi sighed: "If what you said is true, maybe this kid can really perform miracles."

Gong Dao sighed helplessly: "I hope so!"
