How to work

Huang Wenxing had scratches on his arms, which were very obvious.

According to the analysis of Qiu Jian's death condition, he probably scratched the murderer...

As soon as Shen Wansha saw the scratches, he became excited, "How did this happen!" Was Huang Wenxing the murderer?

Huang Wenxing seemed to be taken aback by Shen Wansha's sudden movement, and subconsciously looked at Tian Xiuming.

Tian Xiuming's face was a little red, and the corners of his eyes drooped, "Must... want to say?"

Lu Li nodded.Regarding the circumstances of the case, the clues are so shown, so why should I ask.

Shen Wansha grabbed Huang Wenxing's arm and didn't let go: "It must be said!"

Zhao Zhu's face was serious and his voice was cold: "Speak!"

Tian Xiuming's body trembled, and his head drooped even lower, "That day...uh...I accidentally took an aphrodisiac, and the reaction was a little...intense."

Shen Wansha blinked, and blinked again, as if he understood something... "So, you scratched it?"

Tian Xiuming nodded in shame.

Shen Wansha was very disappointed. After finally finding something, it turned out that it wasn't the murderer?He looked at Lu Li with a puffy face, and his voice was aggrieved: "Little Lizi..."

Tian Xiuming noticed that the atmosphere in the room was changing rapidly and strangely, and felt even more empty, "He also has...on his back, do you want to see it?" As if he was afraid that Huang Wenxing would be caught as a murderer, Tian Xiuming was very nervous, and even picked Huang Wenxing with his hands clothes, to show innocence.

As long as there are scratches on the body, it means there is suspicion, but now Tian Xiuming has a normal and reasonable explanation for the scratches on Huang Wenxing's body... Shen Wansha waved his hand helplessly: "No need."

Tian Xiuming paused, "...Okay." Then he helped Huang Wenxing tidy up his clothes.

……

After carefully questioning the two confessions and letting them go, Shen Wansha tilted his head and asked Lu Li: "Are these two people telling the truth? Are they really unrelated to Qiu Jian's death?"

"There is not enough evidence. It is unreasonable to say that they are the murderers, and it is not convincing to say that they are completely innocent," Lu Li sighed deeply. "We still have to continue the investigation. I hope the confessions of the other two people can give us a new direction."

"The other two? Who?"

"Have you forgotten?" Lu Li reminded his friends, "Shi Renfu, the chief of Su Wang's mansion, and Liu Guangqi, the son of Yantie Si Duzhi's deputy envoy."

Shen Wansha's eyes lit up immediately, and he punched his palms, "Yes, there are them! How could I have forgotten!"

Then, the two looked straight at Zhao Zhu.

Zhao Zhu had no choice but to snap his fingers to call the guards to come in, "Have Ren Kangfu and Liu Guangqi arrived?"

"I'm still on my way back to my lord. According to estimates, it will take about one stick of incense."

"Bring it up directly when you arrive."

"Yes."

After the guards saluted, Zhao Zhu looked at the two teenagers with shining eyes: "Can you rest assured now?"

The two young masters returned bright smiles at the same time.

Zhao Zhu was almost dazzled by Lu Li's smiling face...

It wasn't long before a stick of incense, Lu Li and the three of them only drank a cup of tea and talked, and then Ren Kangfu and Liu Guangqi arrived.

Probably life is rich, these two people are relatively rich, and the popular explanation is that they are fat.Ren Kangfu is the chief history of Su Wangfu. He is over middle-aged, and the most important feature of his fat is a big belly; Liu Guangqi will be weak and his skin is tight. His fat is more like strong, and his body is full of flesh.

Shen Wansha cast an inexplicable wink at Lu Li.

Huang Wenxing and Tian Xiuming had said that the man who left Qiu Jian's room was a bit fat... So these two, are they suspects?

The two came up to salute Zhao Zhu, their postures were right, but there was some dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Lu Li's heart turned slightly, and he guessed the reason.

King Su and Zhao Zhu have the same rank and status, but King Su is a generation older, and Zhao Zhu should be respected, and even the cats and dogs around the elder should be looked at highly. neglected.And Liu Guangqi was young, and it was the time when he was in high spirits, so it was easier to understand his rebellious emotions.

Perhaps in their view, Zhao Zhu made a fuss out of a molehill, but if someone dies, just deal with it casually, so why is it worth asking them for a confession?Even if you ask, you should send someone to the door to ask politely, hello, hello, hello, everyone, what's the point of dragging them here?Simply rude and overbearing!

Zhao Zhu obviously doesn't mind what others think of him, if he does, his reputation outside will not be so scary.He tapped the table with his fingertips: "Before and after Qiu Jian's death, where were you all and what were you doing? Tell me carefully."

No matter their status or power, Ren Kangfu and Liu Guangqi couldn't beat Zhao Zhu, and they could only suppress their slight dissatisfaction and answer questions obediently.

Ren Kangfu said: "My friend invited me to have fun that night. I had a great time and stayed with my friend all the time. I can write down the list and ask the prince to check it out."

Liu Guangqi said: "I've been playing too. Whoever comes to Youyu Terrace doesn't want to relax and have fun. It's too late to enjoy the various services of the actors, and there's still time to kill people? If you don't believe me, just go around and ask!"

The meaning of these two words is obvious: they have an alibi.Ren Kangfu is okay, he is also a long-term historian, he behaves well, and speaks respectfully, but Liu Guangqi directly shows his anger and becomes impatient.

Although Shen Wansha called himself a dandy, he believed that a dandy must have quality, time, place and situation. Liu Guangqi like this, he couldn't understand it the most, and made a sarcasm on the spot, "So what if someone proves it, it's been a long night. You don't need to change clothes, don't you need to go to the toilet?"

Qiu Jian's death was caused by cutting his throat. He did it simply and neatly. As long as the distance is not too far, it doesn't take long to do this. He lied that it would take enough time for him to piss and blow the wind to hangover!

Ren Kangfu's face turned slightly cold: "Humans eat five grains, how can they not recycle? I did go to the toilet, but I didn't kill anyone. The prince can send someone to investigate!"

Liu Guangqi sneered even more: "Have you ever killed someone after going to the toilet? If this is the key clue, then everyone was a murderer that night."

"you--"

Lu Li grabbed Shen Wansha and patted him on the back, signaling to be safe and not to be impatient.He knew that Shen Wansha was just saying that the alibi was useless, and he didn't mean to conclude that the two were the murderers.Perhaps the atmosphere was not in harmony, and the emotions of the two were too tense.

"My lord invited the two of you here, just to know something about the situation that night, and Young Master Shen didn't mean to identify the two of you as the murderers, so don't get angry..." Lu Li looked at the two of them with a smile, his eyes were clear and gentle, and he continued to speak. They all have a refreshing feeling, which is hard to make people hate.

Seeing that the two had calmed down, Lu Li glanced at Zhao Zhu, expressing that he was going to ask a question.

Zhao Zhu nodded, signaling for him to ask casually.

Lu Li nodded, and looked at Ren Kangfu first: "Does Ren Changshi know the deceased Qiu Jian?"

"know."

"Do you have a lot of business on weekdays?"

Ren Kangfu shook his head: "It's just an acquaintance, and we have never had any contact on weekdays."

"Have you seen him at Youyu Terrace? Have you played together? Did you know he was here that night?"

Ren Kangfu thought back for a moment, "I don't come to Youyu Terrace many times, I only saw him once, I never played with him, and I didn't know he was here that night."

"So you have nothing to do with the deceased, no personal grievances, money or even personal relationships."

Ren Kanghui nodded: "That's true."

……

Lu Li turned to Liu Guangqi again: "Do you know Qiu Jian? Do you have any contacts?"

"How could I not know him!" Liu Guangqi gritted his teeth and said angrily, "I don't know what ecstasy he gave Yingniang, Yingniang only likes him! This man is heartless and sentimental, Ren Yingniang is lonely and tears every night , and don’t come to see her, no matter how much money I spent, I didn’t see Yingniang smile at me!”

"Yingniang?" Lu Li thought in his heart that Liu Guangqi really liked her?Yingniang is indeed good-looking and hot, but she is not young, and she is frivolous. Liu Guangqi's words are true, or is she saying it deliberately, trying to hide something...

Liu Guangqi squinted his eyes and said with a sinister smile: "Kui Qiujian must die, otherwise I can't bear it someday and I have to kill him!"

This hatred is not fake...

Lu Li thought for a while, and tried to say: "I have met Yingniang, she is indeed outstanding."

"It's more than just outstanding!" Liu Guangqi's dark eyes turned passionate, "She dares to love and hate, she is extremely loyal, she is the most amazing woman in the world!"

Lu Li understood that Liu Guangqi was really stuck.

Yingniang is a skin business, and knows how to guess a man's heart best.Yingniang is not too young, which means that she has been in this industry for a long time, so long that she is familiar with the skills. If she wants to coax a young man, she will use all kinds of methods... Liu Guangqi, who is a bit of a playboy, may really be tricked.

Shen Wansha couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

Liu Guangqi immediately shifted his hatred, and said angrily, "What are you laughing at!"

"An actress with a little red lips, you say she is loyal..." Shen Wansha didn't mean to look down on anyone, but the facts were in front of him, saying that Yingniang dared to love and hate, even a strange woman, he didn't understand, and he didn't understand. I won't refute it, but to say that she is loyal...is really funny.

"What do you know!" Liu Guangqi scolded angrily, "If it wasn't for the ups and downs of fate, do you think Yingniang would have fallen into prostitution? She was originally the purest and kindest woman in the world..."

Every woman who has fallen into prostitution will sigh to herself that her fate is rough. No one will say that I just like to be a prostitute or sell it.Of course, everyone has different personalities and different pursuits. Some people get out of the quagmire and even make a good story; It's pretending.

Liu Guangqi couldn't even see this clearly, Shen Wansha felt really stupid.

Having no common language with the fool, Shen Wansha sat aside and stopped talking.

After Liu Guangqi made a long speech, he concluded: "Qiu Jian treats Yingniang like this, not only me, but everyone who likes Yingniang dislikes him, and there are many people who want to kill him!"

……

Lu Li asked for a while, but didn't ask any details related to the case. He only knew one thing: the person who likes Yingniang as much as Liu Guangqi has a motive to kill.

He asked Ren Kangfu and Liu Guangqi to pull up their sleeves and let him take a look at their arms.

The two cooperated very well, rolling up their sleeves...

Shen Wansha's eyes straightened immediately: "Little Lizi, they all have scratches on their arms!"

Lu Li's face was slightly condensed, and he saw it too.

Both Ren Kangfu and Liu Guangqi had many scratches on their arms, which were obviously caused by human nails. Some of them were very deep, and the flesh was turned out. Because of the red color, the yellow, yellow, purple and purple were very ugly.

"How did this happen?" Lu Li asked, pointing to their wounds.

"It's not the drama king's fight for hegemony!" Liu Guangqi said angrily, "Every beautiful girl with delicate features, waist, slender legs and long legs, their eyes turn green when they get involved in the drama king, and they started fighting for prize money!"

Ren Kangfu then added, saying that when the night before dawn was approaching, a wealthy businessman said that the atmosphere was not enough, and he dumped the banknotes to make the actors go wild... The so-called "fighting for the king of operas" is actually based on performance. Youyutai has a special person in charge of statistics. Whoever earns the most money in the end is the king of the show, so everyone has been very active in making money recently.The wealthy businessman was very generous, and the banknotes were not 100 taels, but 1000 taels, and there were so many of them that the girls quickly went crazy and scrambled to snatch them.

There are a lot of girls, and this robbing will inevitably cause a mess, and the guests who are close, or those who intend to dissuade them, will suffer accordingly.

Ren Kangfu and Liu Guangqi said that they were the innocent Chiyu. If they didn't believe it, they could call in the people who were present at the time for questioning.

After the two talked about it, Lu Li, Zhao Zhu and Shen Wansha all had seven big characters in their hearts: How could it be such a coincidence!

The traces at the scene were missing, and it was hard to guess the possibility. I found Huang Wenxing Tian Xiuming, and Huang Wenxing had scratches on his arms; he called Ren Kangfu and Liu Guangqi, who also had scratches on their arms, and the explanations were very reasonable!

Shen Wansha was not as stable as Lu Li and Zhao Zhu, and when La Lu Li came to speak, he accidentally missed Huang Wenxing's name.

When Liu Guangqi heard this, he laughed arrogantly.

"What are you laughing at?" Shen Wansha was annoyed at his indiscretion, how could he mention other suspects' names in front of the suspect!

Liu Guangqi spread his hands: "I'm laughing at Huang Wenxing, but I'm not laughing at you."

Lu Li felt that there was something in Liu Guangqi's words, so he asked, "What's so funny about him?"

"Is he having an affair with Tian Xiuming?"

Shen Wansha's eyes widened, and he looked at Lu Li anxiously: I obviously didn't mention Tian Xiuming's name, how could he know! !

Lu Li's eyes flickered slightly, this Liu Guangqi definitely knew something.

"Why didn't they talk to you?" Liu Guangqi sneered coldly, "Looking at you, you should have asked them to ask you a question. Didn't they bother?"

Lu Li looked calm: "What are you recruiting?"

"Of course it's because the two of them fell asleep." Liu Guangqi smiled secretly, "They thought they were hiding well, but in fact they had been spotted by others, and Yingniang knew about it. But Yingniang has a good temper and knows what they want Keep it a secret, and won’t tell others, and others won’t be able to keep it safe.”

As he spoke, Liu Guangqi scattered his thoughts, "The drama king competition is coming soon, the girls are doing everything for money, maybe others will know, these two people killed each other? Uh, no, someone else is someone else, now it is Qiu Jian... That is what Yingniang told Qiu Jian, that Qiu Jian had a dark heart and wanted to blackmail him for money, and these two killed Qiu Jian?"

After he finished speaking, he felt that he was right, touched his chin and sighed: "Fortunately, my Yingniang is a good person, and she didn't think about extorting money to make money, otherwise she would be the one who died now. But Yingniang's selfishness needs to be corrected. Not all men are worthy of love..."

After Liu Guangqi finished speaking, Ren Kangfu was very surprised: "Why is there such a thing? I don't know at all."

"Who told you not to come here often?" Liu Guangqi snorted coldly, "I didn't mean you, since Youyu Terrace gave you a share, why should you serve snacks?"

……

While talking, it turned into an exchange of forces behind Youyu Terrace.

Lu Li and Zhao Zhu looked at each other: there was another motive for killing.

Huang Wenxing and Tian Xiuming may not just pass by by chance. If they take their secrets too seriously, they may kill people...

To avoid misinformation, after sending Ren Kangfu and Liu Guangqi away, Lu Li asked the guards to call Lai Yingniang and asked about Huang Wenxing Tian Xiuming.

Yingniang was still very coquettish, she refused to walk properly, she had to swing her waist and twist her hips when she took a step, and she had to wink at people when she looked at people, but when she met Zhao Zhu's sharp gaze, she was startled and obedient.

Lu Li asked Huang Wenxing and Tian Xiuming, and she also told the truth, she did know.She didn't know if others saw it, but she knew it anyway.Ten days ago, Huang Wenxing and Tian Xiuming had a secret meeting and had a passionate kiss in a remote room, which happened to be seen by her.She really wanted to blackmail someone with secrets, but the time was too short, and she hadn't found the right opportunity to act.

"Have you mentioned this matter to Qiu Jian?"

Yingniang shook her head, "No. But Qiu Jian has always been capable, and there is everything he wants to know, so I'm not sure if he knows."

……

After Yingniang left, Shen Wansha frowned tightly: "This Yingniang is very scheming, and she is very good at manipulating men. I don't know whether I should trust her...Maybe she told Qiujian, Huang Wenxing, Tian Xiuming on purpose... , Let Qiu Jian go to try and blackmail, and he will not be in danger."

Then Huang Wenxing Tian Xiuming was very concerned about his secrets, thinking that Qiu Jian must die.

Lu Li thought it was possible, and also believed that Ren Fuxing and Liu Guangqi hadn't been cleared of his suspicions. He suggested that Zhao Zhu go and investigate what the two of them said about what happened the night before.

The best way to hide a leaf is to put it in the forest... Could it be that the murderer knew that his wounds could not be hidden, so he simply wounded others?In this way, everyone will be injured, and it would be too childish to accuse him of killing someone based on this alone.

Who was the businessman at that time?What is the relationship with several suspects?Why do you want to spread money on a whim, because you really think the atmosphere is not enough?

The face value of 1000 taels is really not a small amount. It is not easy for a local tyrant like Young Master, who is not short of money and rewards people with gold and pearls, to throw 1000 taels of silver bills at people. He must be in a special mood. , only when there is a special purpose.

And this timing is too coincidental...

Zhao Zhu combined the thoughts of several people and ordered the guards to move, but he himself was not in a hurry: "Actually, just wait a few days."

"Will the murderer come out by himself in a few days?" Shen Wansha didn't understand.

Lu Li instantly figured it out.

The dead man scratched the murderer, and poison was hidden in the nails the dead man used to scratch the murderer.Dissolving poison in tea and wine will kill people instantly, but sticking it to traumatic sores can only make the wound difficult to heal.The scratch is a minor injury, without the blessing of toxicity, but it will heal in a few days, if it can't heal in ten days and half a month... then it is very likely that it is the real murderer.

Zhao Zhu's "wait a minute" is very reasonable.

"We also need to identify all the suspects." Lu Li's eyes lit up, "In this way, there will be no fish that slip through the net."

Zhao Zhu nodded, "Yes."

Shen Wansha was a little anxious, and his eyes lit up immediately after being reminded by Lu Li, "Anyway, we have a lot of people, and we will send someone to monitor every suspect, and just arrest them if their injuries are not healed!"

That being said, the evidence still needs to be found, the more ironclad evidence there is, the less likely the murderer will be able to escape.So in the future, Zhao Zhu will continue to be busy.

……

That night, He Lianyu, who hadn't seen him for a long time, suddenly appeared, and he brought news that shocked everyone: he seemed to have found the finger wrench man.

The finger-wielding man was the one who took Lu Li abducted in the last foreign mission case, drugged him and asked him about the treasure map.At that time, Lu Li's consciousness was blurred and his vision was blurred. When he saw a person, he didn't know what he looked like. He only relied on his own dexterity to touch the finger puller on the person's finger, and wrote down the pattern carefully, and drew it for Zhao Zhuhe Lianyu. look.

After everyone's discussion and analysis, it was agreed that this finger-wielding man was an important leader in the alliance of alien treasure-hunting organizations, but it was hidden too deeply and could not be found all the time.

Now that He Lianyu said that he was found, how could he not make everyone excited!

He Lianyu's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly: "I saw that wrench last night in the hand of Xiangying, the Shaoqing of the Honglu Pavilion."

"Young Minister of the Honghe Pavilion?"

"Xiangying?"

Shen Wansha and Lu Li were very surprised, that is to say, they knew this person, and had they been so close?

Zhao Zhu was also a little surprised, not expecting this possibility at all.According to his information, Xiangying is very clean, and his ancestors have been from Daxia for ten generations, so it is absolutely impossible for him to be a foreigner.

"I live in the Honglu Pavilion. I have many opportunities to meet Xiangying on weekdays, and we get along very well. If I hadn't caught a glimpse of him last night, I would never doubt him." He Lianyu pondered, "Of course, the night is dark, I misread maybe."

It's just that this information is too terrible, but if there is any doubt, He Lianyu can't hide it. If it is true or not, he can rest assured.

Zhao Zhu understood his concerns, and immediately called Hong You to step forward, and gave detailed orders to investigate Xiangying deeply.

"If Xiangying is really a finger-wielding man, if we didn't see it, it means that he has a deep scheming mind and must be cautious and careful. I'm worried that this time will be very long." "Why don't we... let's shake him up."

Shen Wansha was very interested: "How exciting?"

"Of course it depends on what he wants most..."

What the finger wrench man wants is of course a treasure map!

Everyone knows this, so Lu Li brought up this idea because he wanted to...
