How to work

Zhao Zhu was not at home that day, and Shen Wansha dragged Lu Li all over the capital for a stroll.

According to the young master, no matter how busy you are, you can't live up to the good spring. Seeing that April is about to pass, the weather will be hot in a few days, so the season that is not too cold and suitable for fun will be missed.

"There's no sign of the guy who picked up the stars, and King Ping is too busy to be free. It just so happens that the two of us eat, drink and have fun, so we don't take them with us!"

When the young master said this, his lips curled up, his tone was angry, and he seemed to be mad at others, but in the depths of his eyes, there was a vague regret flashing.Lu Li guessed whether the young master was lonely.

Shen Wansha has a lively temperament and loves to be lively, and he always talks about being the No. [-] dude in Beijing, but he is actually soft-hearted and kind-hearted.He has a set of principles in his heart, and he must do well in what he should do. For example, in the Shen family's business, no one dares to underestimate this young young master. He is not bad at all in terms of shrewdness in the business field; He wouldn't do things that shouldn't be done, even if he shouted loudly, such as bullying men and women, and being arrogant.

He sympathizes with the weak and is willing to help, and sometimes it doesn't matter even if he earns some money himself; he has a pure expectation for this world, and by his side, it seems that the world has become more lovely.

Perhaps the outlook on life has always been different from that of the famous disciples in Shangjing. The young master knows many people, but has few good friends.So after getting to know Lu Lihe Lianyu Zhao Zhu, he became more enthusiastic and lively and couldn't stop for a moment.

He wants his good friends to enjoy a happy life and not waste a single moment...

"Okay." Lu Li used to be in poor health, and the environment around him was also very simple. Whether he was active or passive, he was always very quiet, but people who live at home also have a heart that yearns for excitement.

Seeing the bright smiling face of his little friend full of vigor, Lu Li felt a little emotional.The fate is really wonderful. He travels through time and space and meets a good friend who has a similar and complementary personality to him. He is really lucky.

Lu Li also very much hoped that Shen Wansha would be happy, so he simply winked at him, "It's good that they're not here, otherwise there will always be something to say, and it's hard to play." Anyway, He Lianyu was paying attention to the alien treasure organization, and Zhao Zhu was busy talking to him. The matter of Guo Yang is being investigated and evidence-collected, and there is no time to control them.

"You mean—" Shen Wansha's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, his energy came up all of a sudden, and he smiled very meaningfully.

Lu Li nodded solemnly, "Yes, today we will play some games that they would not let us play in the past!"

Shen Wansha whistled excitedly and jumped up, "Go! Hurry up!"

……

What did Zhao Zhu and He Lianyu not let them play?In the final analysis, any activity that touches danger.

For example, neither of them knows how to swim. When they are away, the two of them cannot play water sports or take a boat. The two do not know martial arts. When they are away, they cannot touch sharp weapons. Of course, Lu Li playing with a scalpel is not counted. "Those who are playful and despondent are not allowed to play, such as Wushi powder and aphrodisiacs, and aphrodisiacs are not allowed to be touched; the two of them drink little, and are simple and innocent, so as not to be coaxed by others, and they are not allowed to drink alcohol when they are away; of course, women are not allowed to drink." No matter how curious you are, you can't go to the Brothel House...

and many more.

There are many of these rules, which are subtly cultivated in the long-term relationship.Maybe Zhao Zhu and He Lianyu hadn't seen their intentions clearly at that time, but they had taken the lead in influencing so many people with their actions.

Among these rules, some Lu Li and Shen Wansha agree very much, such as Wushi San and some aphrodisiacs, but some of them are completely playable!

For example, by boat, the sun is warm and warm in April, and the riverside is full of flowers, which is so beautiful, why not take a boat to enjoy it!They not only want to sit, but also take a flower boat!

After the two discussed it, they untied their money and put it together, and went to pack a huge flower boat. Shen Wansha even used his identity to call the top Yaoqing girl from Qinyan Pavilion to come and accompany her!

Men who want to play, Qinyan Pavilion is a brothel, of course they will serve them with the greatest enthusiasm, try to make people happy to play, have fun, and are willing to give them a lot of money if they play.Therefore, the content of this day is very rich, all kinds of beautiful girls coquettishly persuade them to drink, play small games, and perform talents, so that the scene will never cool down for a moment.

The grade of Qinyan Pavilion is slightly higher, the girls are very reserved, and their stomachs are a little ink, the drinking orders are good and interesting, and their talents are also very bright, singing, dancing, playing the piano, and even performing tricks and juggling. Everyone has merit!

Lu Li watched and applauded repeatedly, and Shen Wansha couldn't even blink his eyes, and gave the money like water.

The more they played, the happier they were, and the two of them didn't mind the girls joking around. Even Yaoqing asked about the murder case in Shou'anbo Mansion, and Shen Wansha answered it well...

The old bustard had sharp eyes and saw their performance, so he quietly asked someone to bring some pictures of Longyang's erotic palace to see if they wanted to order a little girl to play with.Lu Li's ears turned red when he saw it, and Shen Wansha's face also turned red, but he didn't refuse...

Not only did he not refuse, but he was also very eager to learn!While flipping through the pictures, he exclaimed in amazement, "So it looks like this!"

At the end, he asked the bustard, "Doesn't it hurt?"

"I don't understand," the bustard blinked meaningfully, and whispered to Shen Wansha, "We have good medicine..."

It's a pity that the two of them didn't intend to order the young lady to accompany them in the end, and the old bustard was quite disappointed.

……

That day Lu Li and Shen Wansha were playing like crazy, after getting tired of sitting on the flower boat, they took the net to fish in the water, the two of them were too noisy, they didn't pay attention, they fell into the water one after another.Fortunately, it was noon, the lake was quite warm in the sun, and there were water servants on board. The two of them were not injured at all. They changed into dry clothes and went to jump and play again...

Near the end of the day, I collided with another flower boat, and the game played there was more exciting than archery and gambling!Shen Wansha's eyes lit up, and he pulled Lu Li over.The two of them don't know martial arts, and they haven't practiced archery much. When they meet the experienced one, they can't compare, and they drank several rounds of wine.

After a few rounds of drinking, Shen Wansha quit and started cheating. He wanted to change the rules of the game, saying that if someone answered a puzzle, he would drink two bowls. .

The people on the boat have been out to play for many years, the more lively the atmosphere, the better, not only agreed to Shen Wansha, but also followed this pattern.

Shen Wansha was not difficult to learn when he was a child, but he was eager to learn in a different direction, and he was not proficient in poetry, battles, and guessing riddles. Others didn't fight with him, but played along like this, the young master... was dumbfounded.He lowered his head and raised his eyes, looking pitifully at Lu Li, little friend, help!

However, although Lu Li is a good book, he doesn't like the poems and battles.In the end, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and deal with all kinds of brain teasers that he had seen in his previous life-and he won a full house!

Everyone looked at him with reverence and admiration, as if admiring his profound knowledge.

Lu Li: ...

Shen Wansha raised his chin and looked around presumptuously: This is the young master's friend!

So in the end, the two became the focus again and conquered a boatload of people...

It was nearly dusk when the messenger arrived, and Lu Li and Shen Wansha had already had a nap, and started to play the second round of games.

Hearing that the man said that there was another corpse in Shou'an Bo Mansion, it was also a maidservant, there was no injury on the surface, and the cause of death could not be seen, Lu Li immediately stood up, "Say it again?"

His agitation made the room instantly quiet, and the messenger repeated the words, "Another female corpse was found in the Shou'anbo Mansion. It was a maidservant in the mansion. There was no external injury. The cause of death is uncertain. The servant who shared the same room with the deceased said that she was close to her." I haven't seen the deceased for a whole day and night...Prince Ping should have gotten the news by now and rushed to Shou'anbo Mansion."

There was a huge change in the case, so there was no need for others to tell. Lu Li and Shen Wansha got off the boat immediately and rode to Shou'anbo Mansion.

Shen Wansha was very shocked, "Another new deceased, could it be that this is a serial case and the murderer really isn't Guo Yang?"

Lu Li pursed his lips tightly and did not answer.

The determination of a serial case requires at least two identical cases, but generally three or more cases will be determined. Whether this case is a serial case... It is too early to conclude.

……

When Lu Li arrived, Zhao Zhu was watching the scene accompanied by Shou'anbo Guo Wei, and Guo Yang stood behind Guo Wei, drooping his head and saying nothing.

"Come here." Zhao Zhu took Lu Li's hand and brought him to the corpse. "The deceased has no external injuries, and the cause of death cannot be seen. You probably still need an autopsy."

"If Shou Anbo has no objection, you can do it anytime." Of course Lu Li is obliged.

The corners of Shou'an Bo Guo Wei's lips were deeply pursed, his eyes were sharp, "Mr. Lao Lao."

Guo Yang behind him gave Lu Li a look of displeasure.

Lu Li and Guo Wei clasped their hands together and ignored Guo Yang.

However, dissection is not a one-time event. Lu Li first asked his servants to make preparations, and took advantage of this time to observe the scene.

This is an empty wing room, with thin dust on the window sill, scattered furniture, and no signs of fighting in the room; when you open the window, you can see that the view is not good, there is no one around, the location of this room is a bit remote...

The deceased was facing the inner wall, lying on the couch, his clothes were disheveled, and he described it as a bit of a mess.Lu Li walked over to take a look, his heart sank violently, he knew the deceased, he had met that day and lived in the same room with Shang Qiaoqiao as a servant girl named Qiu'er!

"It's her!" Shen Wansha also covered his mouth in surprise, "Why did she die!"

He cast suspicious eyes on Guo Yang for the first time.

Guo Yang was angry, "Look what I'm doing! I didn't go home last night, and I won't be back until noon today!" He has an alibi!

Shen Wansha clicked his tongue lightly, as if feeling rather regretful.

Guo Yang sneered, and when he was about to speak again, Guo Wei stopped him, "Yang'er."

Guo Yang curled his lips, snorted coldly, stood back, and stopped talking.

……

Zhao Zhu frowned slightly when he smelled Lu Li's body, "Have you been drinking?"

Lu Li rubbed his nose and pushed him away, "I went out to play with the young master."

Zhao Zhu's eyes gradually narrowed...

Lu Li glared at him, "Don't be unhappy!"

Zhao Zhu squeezed Lu Li's little hand... Okay.Who told him that he didn't have time to play with his wife?But in the future—the daughter-in-law can only be his!

The autopsy toolbox was soon in place, and the Bofu government also prepared to leave the temporary autopsy room, and the autopsy work began soon.

According to the conjunctiva, cadaver plaque, and rigor of the deceased, Lu Quer determined that the death time of the deceased was around midnight; the deceased did not have any trauma, the neck, chest and abdomen were dissected, and there were no abnormalities in the neck, chest and abdomen, and there were no lesions in the internal organs. Iron nails, the cause of death is the same as Shang Qiaoqiao...

"Look! The same way of death!" Guo Yang looked excited, "I said I didn't kill anyone!"

While stitching up the corpse, Lu Li asked calmly, "Isn't the prince in the mansion last night?"

"Yes, I'm - I'm..." Guo Yang was a little embarrassed, "I'm playing outside."

As soon as he paused, Lu Li understood that this guy probably didn't play any good games outside, maybe he was sleeping with flowers and sleeping in willows, and he didn't dare to admit it in front of his own father.

But Qiu'er...why was she the one who died?Lu Li carefully recalled the scene when he saw this maid.

At that time there were two servants in the room, one was Zhi'er and the other was her, he asked about Shang Qiaoqiao, the two replied that they were the same as other servants in the mansion, their expressions were not unusual.He asked about turmeric, Zhi'er didn't say anything, Qiu'er seemed to be trying to smooth things over to ease the atmosphere, saying that the big kitchen had this thing, and it was a coincidence that Shang Qiao got it.

She just smoothed things out, she only said that the big kitchen had this thing, but her original words were: turmeric is seasoned, it can cure diseases, and it can also relieve hangovers. The big kitchen always has it. , I didn't notice that it was stained on the foot of the bed when I came back.

Everyone knows that turmeric is spicy and seasoned to drive away the cold. She also mentioned knowing about wine... Could it be a deliberate reminder?

Lu Li thought about it, he was indeed thinking about the case, and thought of Qiu'er's hangover, so he was somewhat sure about the suspicion of Guo Yang's drunkenness, and asked Zhao Zhu to investigate.

Zhao Zhu was following this to investigate the events of the day when Qiu'er died...

Is it because of this extra word?Or is there some other reason?

The cause of death in the two murder cases is the same, but the details are different, such as a certain point...

As soon as his arms warmed up, Lu Li raised his head suddenly, and it turned out that Zhao Zhu was pulling him towards the basin, "Wash your hands."

Lu Li lowered his head and saw that the smock had been taken off and the gloves had been taken off. He was distracted just now, so... Zhao Zhu did it for him.

"Thank you."

Zhao Zhu looked at the clear water flowing between Lu Li's slender and fair fingers, "Why do you say thank you between us?" If he had to say thank you, he hoped it would be in another way...

Lu Li washed his hands and wiped them with a handkerchief. Seeing Zhao Zhu staring at his hands intently, with deep fires in his eyes, he immediately knew that the rascal was thinking of something else. He stepped on his feet, gritted his teeth and said, "What is the prince thinking? Huh?"

Zhao Zhu lowered his eyes and smiled as if he didn't feel the pain.

Instead of retreating, he took advantage of the opportunity to get close to Lu Li.

Lu Li panicked, there are still people here!

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhu whispered into his ear, "Is this case a serial case, or is it a trap deliberately set up by others... You will find out after investigating."

It was actually comforting him.

Zhao Zhu also had the same suspicion as him!

Lu Li looked back at the corner of Qiu'er's skirt.

The two murders seemed to be the same, both were young maids who died, they lived in the same room, and the cause of death was exactly the same, but——Shang Qiaoqiao had semen spots on her skirt and had sex with others before her death, Qiu'er did not.

Lu Li didn’t say anything when inspecting Qiaoqiao’s body because the semen spots couldn’t be tested. He also focused on checking Qiu’er’s body this time to make sure that Qiu’er had not been sexually assaulted before his death.

But although the scene was not messy just now, Qiu'er's clothes were messy, her belt was unbuttoned, and her collar fell below her shoulders, which made people guess...

why?

Was it the murderer's attempted rape?Or is it intentionally misleading?

But Shang Minmin didn't tell outsiders about Shang Qiaoqiao's rape, nor did he say, if it was done on purpose...the murderer might really be the one who killed Shang Qiaoqiao, and the murderer made a mistake.

It would be interesting if Qiu'er's death was the murderer's attempt to create another corpse to divert attention.

He could think that it was because of the fine spot, Zhao Zhu didn't know about it, so why did he doubt it?

It seems that there are still many people smarter than me...

Seeing Lu Li staring at him, Zhao Zhu patted his forehead, "You like me so much?" His eyes couldn't bear to leave.

Lu Li: ...

Next is the time for investigation and evidence collection. The Shou'anbo Mansion cooperated with the government to ask the people's confessions, when was the last time they saw the deceased, did anything wrong with the deceased recently, did they hear any strange noises at night, especially the people in the same room, why? Qiu'er didn't go back to her room and didn't report, etc.

Guo Yang was sent to cooperate with the government to do these things, while Guo Wei accompanied King Ping.Zhao Zhu didn't like the Guo family, but the case was sensitive and he had some purpose, so he socialized with Guo Wei with a calm face.

Lu Li and Shen Wansha discussed the case in a low voice, and glanced at Guo Wei from time to time.

Lu Li was curious about Guo Wei and the people around him, so he asked Shen Wansha, and Shen Wansha scratched his head, "I don't know much about Shou Anbo, I only know that he pestered King Su violently, and King Su didn't like to talk to him. His temper is a bit... Yin."

Shen Wansha made a metaphor, a dog that doesn't like to bark bites people.Guo Wei usually looks easy to talk to, but you can't talk casually in front of him, because you may not be able to say something that offends him, but he still smiles on his face, and actually remembers you in his heart. That's what he did.

Shen Wansha pointed to the scholarly person next to Guo Wei, "That man is Wen Changyu, the staff member of Shou Anbo, the most handy dog ​​he uses, and there is a lot of bad water in his stomach. Life is not easy, I heard that they are always punished..."

……

This case was strange, and it took time to deal with it. Lu Li and Zhao Zhu didn't go back to bed very late.Even so, the servants have not finished asking their confessions.

Lu Li didn't let Zhao Zhu play tricks, he recharged his energy all night, got up very early, and prepared to rush to Shou'anbo, who knew that Shou'anbo's mansion delivered the letter to the garden first, and the murderer guarded himself...

It is a guilty conscience to say that he killed someone, knowing that sooner or later he will be asked, so he might as well do it himself.

Lu Li looked at Zhao Zhu seriously, "What do you think?"

"This case...is full of twists and turns, very interesting." Zhao Zhu raised the corners of his lips sarcastically, stood up and took the cloak that was hanging on the side, and put it on Lu Li, "Let's go there."

Lu Li's face turned dark, "It's going to be summer soon, and you still want me to wear a cloak?" I'm afraid I won't be hot enough!

Zhao Zhu's face remained unchanged, and his movements did not change, "It's raining today."

Lu Li looked out the window, although the sun wasn't that bright, it wasn't going to rain... But Zhao Zhu was very insistent, he had to let the servants carry it first, and if it rained and cooled down later, he would put it on.

Only then was Zhao Zhu satisfied.

……

When he arrived at Shou'anbo's mansion, Lu Li found that he also knew this self-conscious person, and it was Li Zhengzhen, the housekeeper of Shou'anbo's outer courtyard.

Compared with the day when we first met, Li Zhengzhen looked a little sluggish, as if he had drunk alcohol, and his body smelled heavily.He said that both Shang Qiaoqiao and Qiu'er committed suicide, the motive? It was because they treated Xiaoyu, the servant girl who was in the mansion, badly.

He said that he was over forty years old, lost his wife in the early years, and wanted to continue his marriage, so he fell in love with Xiaoyu, a servant girl in the outer court, but Xiaoyu was bullied by Shang Qiaoqiao, and left sadly. He was so angry that he wanted to kill.

He thought up the method of piercing the nostrils with red-hot iron nails, because this way of killing people is silent and cannot be detected.He is the chief steward of the outer court, and no one else cares about where he wants to use it or what kind of servant girl he is called, so he has the time and the ability.

Originally, he only wanted to kill Shang Qiaoqiao, the person who bullied Xiaoyu the most. It happened that Guo Yang drank too much that day. Find him to confront him, but he has no choice but to kill another person.

After killing two people in a row, he felt that there was no turning back. Looking at the recent situation, and thinking about the kindness that Shou'anbo Mansion had shown him, he decided to defend himself.

After Li Zhengzhen finished speaking, Guo Wei sighed long, with a look of shame in his eyes, "It's because the government is not strictly governed. This kind of thing has caused the government to run around and make King Ping suffer... Later I will make a statement and confess my guilt. Please forgive me, Holy One."

Shen Wansha was very surprised, "Uncle, do you recognize it now?"

Guo Wei paused slightly, "The murderer has confessed himself—why, can't I admit it?"

Shen Wansha's head felt numb from his gaze, and he took a step back subconsciously, "No, that's not what I mean, I just think...it's too smooth."

Guo Wei curled his lips into a smile, "Look at what Young Master Shen said, isn't everything going well? Are you expecting everything to go wrong?"

"No, I'm not—" Shen Wansha couldn't explain it, and looked at Lu Li for help.

"Uncle misunderstood. What Young Master Shen means is that it is good if everything goes well, but there are still doubts in this case that need to be solved, and the closing of the case needs to be delayed." Lu Li stepped forward, his eyes slightly raised, his eyes were clear and bright, "Since the murderer is Li Butler, you must be very familiar with the process of committing a crime, answering questions only takes a little time, and can convince everyone, what do you think, Uncle?"

Guo Wei glanced at Zhao Zhu, then turned his head to look at Lu Li, his eyes were very kind, "Mr. Lu's words are very true. Please—"

Lu Li walked up to Li Zhengzhen unceremoniously, and asked him, "Did you rape the deceased Shang Qiaoqiao?"
