Early the next morning, Haodian and Liu Yu brought back the news.

Liu Yu moved his sore arms, and smiled bitterly: "I don't know who is behind the Black Lotus Hall, but we haven't found out anything. Casinos and brothels have become restaurants that are in business, and those who were arrested People can't even open their mouths now, and they can't ask half a word."

Hao, who was smiling all the time, was not at all dejected and said: "My lord, my brothers and I have searched all over Luoyang, including the Shanyang Home, and there is no missing person who matches the appearance of the dead body."

Liu Yu said dejectedly: "Master Yan, Mr. Xie, has the case come to a dead end?"

Xie Zaiyue shook his head, not as depressed as the two people in front of him, "If you can't find the deceased, at least one thing means that the deceased is not a local. As for the Black Lotus Hall, we can hand it over to the newly recruited Song Sicheng. It’s a good opportunity for him to flex his muscles.”

Xie Zaiyue laughed after saying that, and Hao Yidian who was beside him asked curiously, "Song Sicheng? Who is it?"

Liu Yu said angrily: "When the king of the court is quiet, he insisted on coming to our place to cause trouble."

Xie Zaiyue played with the copper ax at his waist, and said with a low smile, "Don't worry, Lao Liu, I will never let him make trouble. With him, it will be easier for us to do things in the future."

Liu Yu regained his energy after hearing the words, and said hopefully: "I heard that King Jing is very favored, and he was made a prince at a young age. With the two amulets of the Holy One and the Eldest Princess, the Black Lotus Hall must not be offended."

Hao Dian was even more listless, "Hei Liantang is settled, who will tell me who is the foreigner who died at Li Mingheng's house?"

"A foreigner from Li Mingheng's family?" Xie Zaiyue followed up and read it again, and suddenly his thoughts flew, "Could it really be Li Mingcai?"

Liu Yu had already made such an inference, and when he heard that Xie Zaiyue was also on his side, he nodded repeatedly.

"No, even if Li Mingheng wants to kill Li Mingcai, there is no need to kill all the servants in the mansion." Xie Zaiyue frowned slightly, denying his previous guess.

Then Li Mingheng's words and deeds reappeared in his mind. Li Mingheng unexpectedly couldn't speak official words well. Li Mingheng's so-called master bedroom was facing the wrong direction. Li Mingheng closed his shop and was still planning to leave Biancheng. Also, Song Liuguang's The buddy said that Li Mingheng and Li Mingcai look alike, could it be...

"Lord Yan, it looks like I'm going to visit Shiba Mile Shop." Xie Zaiyue said solemnly.

Yan Han: "Do you suspect that it was Li Mingheng who died?"

Xie Zaiyue looked serious, "Yes, but we need evidence."

Wangwang on his legs seemed to nod his fluffy little head, and seemed to agree with Xie Zaiyue's guess.

Over there, Old Liu scratched his ears, and said in amazement: "Did I hear correctly? Li Mingheng was the one who died? Why did Li Mingcai kill his brother instead? Just to avoid debts?"

Xie Zaiyue remembered the way Li Mingheng looked at the jade belt hook at that time, and thought about it, and then said seriously: "Whether Li Mingcai is alive, where is Zhang Zhilai, and bringing Li Mingheng's mother to Biancheng, let's start from these three places instead."

Liu Yu said, "What about the Black Lotus Hall?"

Xie Zaiyue said: "Give it to Song Sicheng."

Yan Han said: "I will arrange Hengbo to go to Shibalipu later, and then I will ask Mr. Duan to find a few brothers to pick up Li Mingheng's hometown. Old Liu, you come with us to find Zhang Zhilai." After a pause, he continued: "But I guess, He is dead."

"Dead?" Liu Yu asked in surprise.

Xie Zaiyue nodded and said: "All the servants of Li's mansion are dead, which shows that the murderer is ruthless, such a person will not survive."

Liu Yu said: "But that maid, what is her name, isn't she still alive?"

Xie Zaiyue frowned and said: "When I went to see Li Mingheng yesterday, I felt strange, Xu Chunyou was out of her mind, but that maid was arrogant, I doubt Li Mingheng, no, maybe it should be said that the relationship between Li Mingcai and Chunxiang is unusual. "

"Yes! Xu Chunyou!" Xie Zaiyue suddenly got up, "Master Yan, let's go to the Lailai Inn first!"

No matter how similar the two Li Mingheng brothers look, the wife who gets along day and night will not fail to see it.If it is Li Mingcai who is alive now and not Li Mingheng, then it can only mean that Xu Chunyou is also an accomplice!

However, judging from yesterday's situation, Chunxiang seems to have entered the room. This is probably something Xu Chunyou never thought of. Then she and Li Mingcai will inevitably have a rift. If Xu Chunyou can be brought back for questioning at this time, Li Mingcai's trick may be exposed.

The soldiers in Dali Temple divided into groups and moved quickly.

Liu Yu went to find Zhang Zhilai, while Yan Han rushed to the inn with Xie Zaiyue.

But something happened here that none of them expected.

"Dead?" Xie Zaiyue was surprised, "What happened?"

Zhao Guangshi, who was guarding the Lailai Inn of Dali Temple, replied: "Just now, that Li Mingheng ran out in a panic. We thought he was going to run away, so we quickly followed him and caught him. But he kept crying, saying that Madam hanged himself. I want to find a doctor. I have nothing to do, so I asked my brothers to follow him to find a doctor. I came back alone to see what happened, and found out that Xu Chunyou really committed suicide! The little girl Chunxiang fainted from fright!"

Xie Zaiyue's complexion changed, and he hurried into the inn.

Standing in front of the guest room was the shopkeeper of the Lailai inn. Seeing Xie Zaiyue, he said anxiously: "My lord, my lord, what can you do with this villain's business in the future? The guest who finally came here actually committed suicide. Let the news spread..."

Yan Han signaled him not to speak, then followed Xie Zaiyue into the guest room cautiously.

The room is dark and the atmosphere is eerie.Xu Chunyou was put on the ground by someone, her body was already completely cold.She had a miserable look on her face, and there was a deep strangle mark around her neck.

"The windows and doors are in good condition, and the room is tidy." Xie Zaiyue said, squatting beside Xu Chunyou to look at it for a moment, and then said: "It looks like suicide, but a person who is going to be a mother really has the heart to take the child in her belly with her." Suicide together?"

Standing beside him, Yan Han was very calm. After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Let's interrogate Chunxiang first."

Xie Zaiyue nodded, but didn't get up, suddenly frowned again, and analyzed: "Shaoqing, Xu Chunyou died, but the ghost messenger didn't show up, does this mean that her death was also caused by someone's evil thoughts? In other words, this is not suicide but homicide, and the murderer and the one who killed Li Mingheng are the same."

Yan Han nodded slowly, "The person possessed by evil thoughts should be either Li Mingcai or Chunxiang. According to our inference just now, there is a high probability that it is Li Mingcai."

While talking, Liu Yu arranged the matter of looking for Zhang Zhiyuan, and rushed to the scene with Hao Yidian.And Li Mingcai, who claimed to go to the doctor himself, had turned back, but did not bring the doctor back, and was crying in mourning downstairs.

Xie Zaiyue briefly introduced the situation to the two of them, and then arranged: "Old Liu, take someone to search the inn, Lao Hao's autopsy, and Master Yan and I will go to meet Li Mingcai."

Li Mingcai was downstairs beating his chest and stamping his feet, and his dangling arms followed him.At one moment he said that his life was miserable, his house was gone, his wife was gone, and at another moment he said that Xu Chunyou was so stupid that he couldn't even think about committing suicide.

Yan Han and Xie Zaiyue stood on the stairs and watched his performance for a while, then Xie Zaiyue said coldly: "Come up and talk!"

Li Mingcai was shocked, and hurriedly looked up, seeing Yan Han and Xie Zaiyue again, he couldn't help crying louder: "What are you doing in Dali Temple! You still haven't found the person who set the fire!"

Xie Zaiyue ignored him, but said to the guards at the Dali Temple downstairs: "Bring him up!"

The guards on the left and right were furious when they heard Li Mingcai scolding Dali Temple, but now hearing Xie Zaiyue's bad tone, they showed their fierceness at that time, set up Li Mingcai on the left and right, and sent him to the guest room designated by Xie Zaiyue.

As soon as he entered the guest room, Xie Zaiyue looked at him coldly and asked, "When did you find out that Xu Chunyou committed suicide?"

Li Mingcai had calmed down at this moment, the quarrel of grief and loss of his lover just now seemed to have never happened to him.

However, before he could speak, Liu Yu appeared at the door and called Yan Han out.

After a while, Yan Han turned back with a piece of paper, Li Mingcai looked up, fixed his gaze on the paper, and smiled imperceptibly.

With a gloomy expression, Yan Han handed the things in his hands to Xie Zaiyue.

Xie Zaiyue saw it, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock.This is a confession book, written by Xu Chunyou. According to the above, she had already had a secret relationship with Li Mingcai, but after she found out that she was pregnant with Li Mingcai's child, Li Mingcai changed his face and directly denied the past relationship. He also said that the child was definitely not his, and told Xu Chunyou not to spout blood.Xu Chunyou was angry and frightened, and killed Li Mingcai by mistake during the dispute with him, and then created a fire to cover up people's eyes and ears.

Li Mingcai blamed all the crimes he committed on Xu Chunyou!Xu Chunyou's death immediately turned into suicide in fear of crime!

Xie Zaiyue read the letter upside down several times, gritted his teeth and asked, "Li Mingheng, answer me first, when did you find out that Xu Chunyou committed suicide!"

Li Mingcai had already adjusted his mood at this time, and said unhurriedly: "Yesterday, the villain was in a bad mood and drank downstairs until late at night. At that time, my wife had already rested. In order not to disturb her rest, I opened another room to sleep for a while." It was late. When I returned to my room early this morning, I found that she had hanged herself."

Yan Han worriedly forgot to glance at Xie Zaiyue, and then asked calmly, "Who can prove your whereabouts last night?"

Li Mingcai said: "When I was drinking, the second shopkeeper could prove it. I was the only one sleeping last night. No one can prove it. But Mr. Xie, my wife committed suicide. Why do you ask me so much?"

Yan Leng said indifferently: "Suicide or homicide is not up to you."

Li Mingcai wanted to reply, but seeing Yan Han sitting there, serious and indifferent, obviously looking very thin, but at this moment exuding an invisible powerful aura, suppressing himself desperately, as if all the tricks had been seen through long ago , I was just performing poorly, so I couldn't help but feel a little guilty, so I shut my mouth embarrassingly.

Xie Zaiyue asked again: "Where is Zhang Zhilai?"

Li Mingcai said in astonishment, "Didn't he burn to death?"

Xie Zaiyue said: "Stop talking nonsense, he is not among those seven corpses!"

Li Mingcai spread his hands, and said: "This little one doesn't know that Chunyou is taking care of the family's internal affairs, maybe Zhang Zhilai was sent far away."

Xie Zaiyue said angrily: "Zhang Zhilai has traveled far away, who is the seventh corpse?"

Li Mingcai said annoyedly: "The villain can't understand what the adults are saying."

Yan Han grabbed Xie Zaiyue, who was eating people, and changed the subject, "Why do you think Xu Chunyou committed suicide?"

Li Mingcai said: "Since the fire broke out in her house, she has been in a bad mood. She is depressed every day, often in a daze, and sometimes muttering to herself. I think it is difficult for her to accept the destruction of Li's house."

"You are talking nonsense! That day we were in Li's residence, Xu Chunyou was still very calm!" Xie Zaiyue was so angry that Li Ming just opened his eyes and said nonsense, but he had no evidence yet.

Yan Han stretched out his hand, pulled Xie Zaiyue gently, and rubbed a circle on Xie Zaiyue's palm by the way.

When Xie Zaiyue was touched by Yan Han's icy cold hand, for some reason, his impetuous mood disappeared instantly, and he quickly calmed down and organized his thoughts.Be sure to find his loopholes and find evidence!
