Chapter 28: The Thief
"Zhao Zhu, come and hug me!"
As soon as Lu Li's words came out, Zhao Shu was stunned for a moment. Before he could move, Lu Li hurriedly urged, "Hurry up!" β
Before he could walk up, Lu Li had already taken the initiative to reach out and pounce over and hug his neck.
Zhao Zhu: ......
Lu Li pulled Zhao Zhu's hand to his waist, his chin was raised, and he looked excited, "Go up Zhao Zhu!" β
Zhao Shu recalled that since he was a child, he had seen too many people, and he didn't know how many shameless people he had, but no one could compare to Lu Li.
What the hell is this man's brain! How big does your heart have to be to jump into the arms of a strange man!
Although this is a special case...... But still can't be out of proportion!
Zhao Shu has been observing Lu Li, he has his own judgment, he can almost guess what Lu Li is looking at and thinking. Lu Li followed the traces by the window to find in the room, in the whole room except for the window lattice, there was the same wet soil is the almost imperceptible little point on the ground in the center of the room, looking up to see that this place is facing the beam, anyone will immediately want to look at it.
Lu Li didn't have martial arts, so he naturally subconsciously asked him to help.
Although Lu Li is young, he is careful, meticulous, and has justice in his chest, which is worthy of recognition and appreciation, but this is really too much of a loose temperament......
Zhao Shu's brows were furrowed, almost killing flies.
He was forced to hold Lu Li, and he couldn't move yet, because Lu Li urged him to stop moving, and Lu Li's legs were about to hook over and clamp his waist and legs.
Is...... Annoying!
Zhao Shu patted Lu Li's buttocks, and his voice was very cold, "Don't be presumptuous." Then the leg pointed to the ground, and it flew up in an instant.
Zhao Shu was satisfied if he helped Lu Li, he didn't have the heart to listen to what Zhao Shu said, his eyes were bright and staring at the beam, and his heart said that there must be something on it!
It's not easy to stand on the beams, especially Zhao Zhu, who is particularly tall. Zhao Shu simply held Lu Li with one hand, buckled the roof upside down with the other, found a place to hook his feet, and hung upside down above the beam, just enough distance for Rousseau to see things.
It's a pity that Lu Li didn't know that Zhao Shu was going to pose this way before he came up, he was now putting his hands around Zhao Shu's neck and his back to the beam, where could he see it!
He stared at Zhao Zhu dissatisfiedly, "Turn me over!" β
Zhao Shu said lightly, "Move yourself." β
Lu Li tilted his head and looked at Zhao Zhu with a frown.
Zhao Shu looked away very indifferently, "There are no hands." β
Lu Li looked at it, indeed. Zhao Zhu's two feet and two hands are useful, and he is not light, in case he is fallen, he will be in trouble......
"Then I'll move on my own, you hug it, don't let me fall." Lu Li licked his lips a little nervously, dragged Zhao Shu's clothes in his hand, and slowly turned around......
Zhao Shu suddenly felt that this kind of Lu Li was very funny, like a little mouse ready to steal oil, and his cautious appearance was particularly cute. So he was malicious, and the hand around Lu Li's waist was loosened.
"Ahhhhh
Of course, Zhao Zhu's force value is still good, at least he was fished out at the last moment......
Lu Li calmed his breath, turned his head and glared at Zhao Zhu angrily, "You hug me tightly!" β
After some fright, his face turned crimson, his eyes were moist, his complexion was very good, and he was very energetic when he scolded people.
Zhao Zhumo's eyes like lacquer were bottomless, "I will hold you, and you will have to use some strength yourself." β
Hanging upside down on the roof and hugging this kind of thing does require cooperation, Lu Li reflected for a moment, and just now he was a little too big and too fast...... "Anyway, you hold me tightly, tightly, tightly, understand?" β
Zhao Shu nodded invisibly, his eyes complicated.
Lu Li was relieved, smiled at him, and then continued to turn around slowly. This time it was very smooth, he quickly turned around, face down, and was held by Zhao Shu from behind.
Probably the action of holding from behind is very easy, the two of them are very close, and Lu Li can almost feel Zhao Zhu's heartbeat, pounding, pounding, very powerful.
He was still a little uneasy, and after repeatedly asking Zhao Shu to hug him tightly, he concentrated and carefully checked the traces of the beams.
There is indeed a little bit of wet earth on the beams, which is the same color and texture as the window lattices. There are two very light footprints on the beam, and he should be wearing soft-soled shoes, depending on the size, this person is slightly taller, and should be nearly eight feet. With a little sunlight, you can see that there seems to be a faint layer of silver powder on the beams...... Finally, there is a strip of cloth at the nail wedge of the beam.
Lu Li stretched out his hand to take off the fabric, looked at the beams of the house carefully, and even asked Zhao Shu to change his direction and let him look at it from multiple angles a few times before letting Zhao Shu take him down.
As soon as he landed, Lu Li was instantly cheerful, and happily raised the strip of cloth in his hand, "We have a suspect!" β
Zhao Zhu hit him very ruthlessly, "Not necessarily." β
"There was wet soil on the window lattice, footprints on the beams, and the visitor accidentally left evidence...... Didn't the murderer hide on the beams of the house, drip poison into the deceased's wine with silk threads or something, poison him, and then jump down and beat him? Lu Li thought about the picture of the martial arts master poisoning people he saw in the TV series before, and felt that this imagination was reasonable.
"You're too excited," Zhao Shu hugged his arms, his chin moved slightly, and his eyes widened, "It's better to take a closer look at the room." β
Rousseau thought Zhao Shu was strange, as if he understood everything...... However, he is not a conceited person like Wang Dexing, and the process of solving the case has triggered a lot of imagination, and he will feel that anything is possible, but there is only one truth.
He took the strip of cloth in his hand, sank his brow, and looked at the room again.
The silver powder that appeared on the beams of the house was only a little on the window lattice, and not at all else; The man's footprints only appeared on the beams of the room, and there were no traces of them in the entire room; Most importantly, the marks left by the four legs of the table are against the wall and not in the middle.
Lu Li looked at it a few times, and felt that he was afraid that he was thinking wrong, "Is it a passing thief who appears on this beam?" β
Zhao Shu bowed slightly, "All signs point to this possibility." β
"But what thief would make a night walk out of white fabric?" Lu Li stretched out his hand to reveal the strip of cloth, "And that silver powder...... What is it? β
"There are always some people who like mavericks...... Zhao Shu seemed to have discovered something, and reached out to take the strip of cloth in Lu Li's hand.
Lu Li felt that his palm was slightly itchy, and his hand was empty, and then his wrist was grabbed - Zhao Shu took his hand to adjust the direction, as if he was looking for light?
"What are you doingβ"
"Don't move."
Zhao Zhu's expression was too strict, Lu Li was suspicious, and obediently didn't move, Zhao Shu quickly finished reading, "Sure enough." β
Lu Li: ? Sure enough, what did you say!
Zhao Shu pushed his hand back, "See for yourself." β
Lu Li adjusted the direction and looked at his palm, and soon noticed the difference, "My hand is glowing!" β
Zhao Shu shook the strip of cloth, "This thief has a really bad taste." β
"Yes......" Lu Li nodded, and actually sprinkled silver powder on his clothes!
Or rather, the thief was very rich, and he wore clothes with some silver pattern embroidered secretly......
It's a pity that the murderer wasn't found, but-
Lu Li smiled, "At least we have one more witness, maybe this person sees who the murderer is, as long as he finds him, he can solve the case!" β
"I hope so." Zhao Zhu slightly bowed his head.
Lu Li pulled him out and asked Huang County Ling to report the news.
The murder has just happened, the body has been examined and the relevant confessions have been asked, and the next thing is to cast a net on all sides, find more traces, and verify whether the relevant confessions are true and accurate.
Today is a busy day, he feels very tired and needs to rest.
Shen Wansha is still so caring, not only has prepared a good meal, but also a variety of snacks, as well as Zen tea that cannot be drunk elsewhere.
After that, the time was very leisurely, Lu Li and Shen Wansha talked about a lot of messy ghost stories, and went to bed early at night.
When the people in the room fell asleep, Zhao Shu got up calmly and walked out quietly.
Walking to the courtyard, he pinched his wrist and loosened his muscles, and in a moment, two black shadows fell to the ground like green smoke, "Wang Ye'an." β
"The man whom this king has asked you to check today ......"
Zhao Zhu's eyes were dark, and there was a killing aura between his eyebrows all the year round, which was even clearer against the dark night, which made people feel afraid.
Xing Zuo paused, "The subordinates are useless, they didn't catch anyone, they only got this-" He took out a piece of fabric from his arms and presented it to Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shu took a look, and the ink in his eyes was darker, exactly the same as the fabric that Lu Li found on the beam today!
"You two didn't manage to take anyone down either?" Zhao Zhu's tone was slightly raised, as if he was dissatisfied, and he seemed to hide a hint of playfulness.
Hong You's brows furrowed, "Back to the prince, this person's kung fu is extremely weird, and the two of us failed to get close to each other, so he slipped and ran away." β
"You two pay attention to this...... It's time. Zhao Shu put away the fabric, took out a face towel from his arms to cover his face, and jumped up on tiptoe, Xing Zuo and Hong immediately followed, and the three of them rushed towards the west.
β¦β¦
Lu Li slept very well this night, he didn't have any dreams, he slept until dawn, and when he woke up, he saw Shen Wansha's door closed, and when he went up and knocked, he realized that Shen Wansha hadn't woken up yet. Yesterday I got up before dawn, and today I haven't gotten up at three o'clock......
Lu Li looked at Shen Wansha who was rubbing his eyes and was confused with great concern, "You shouldn't have been scared yesterday, and you won't dare to get up early in the future!" β
Shen Wansha remembered what he had experienced yesterday morning and immediately sobered up, "Don't scare people early in the morning!" It was an accident that I would wake up early yesterday, I usually sleep as long as I want, and yesterday must have been hell...... Yes, it must be! β
Lu Li: ...... Isn't it enough to tell ghost stories for half a day yesterday, and I'm still thinking about it here!
The two packed up themselves and prepared to have breakfast, and went to knock on the door next door, but Zhao Zhu was not there. Lu Li was not very happy, he felt that this bodyguard was too unprofessional, how could he disappear without knowing the master!
Shen Wansha was very kind, "Xu is that we both got up too late, Brother Zhao couldn't help but be hungry, so I went to have breakfast first." Don't be angry, maybe he'll show up after we've finished breakfast. β
That's all there is to it......
Lu Li and Shen Wansha went to the dining room to find breakfast together.
After coming out, they ran into Daniel Zhang, who was going to call Huang Xianling back.
Daniel Zhang and the arresters were responsible for finding clues and verifying the confessions of the people, and now they have a conclusion and want to report to Huang County.
Lu Li wanted to ask, but felt bad, after all, Huang Xian Ling was the chief official, any news had to be listened to first to make a decision, if Daniel Zhang was familiar with him to inform the news at will, it would be dereliction of duty, he could not harm others.
Who knew that Daniel Zhang saw his thoughts at a glance, "It's okay, when we acted before, Huang Xianling said that if you ask, you can tell you in advance." β
Lu Li was very surprised.
Shen Wansha squeezed his eyebrows and hit him with his elbow: King Ping's fiancΓ©e's name is really good!
Lu Li patted him and asked Daniel Zhang, "What clues did Uncle Zhang find?" β
"After investigation, most of the relevant confessions are true, but it is unknown whether there are any unfinished words in them. Hongran said that the deceased liked to go west, and my brothers and I chased all the way over, and found many traces near the mouth of the big crow, which were suspected to have been left by the deceased. However, the traces are somewhat complicated, and the reason for the purpose of the deceased is still unknown......"
After Daniel Zhang finished speaking, Lu Li was curious, "Where is the big crow's mouth?" β
"I know, I know!" Shen Wansha hurriedly raised his hand and replied, "I have read the county records here, and the Great Crow's Mouth is an extremely dangerous deep valley, and people often die!" β
Shen Wansha popularized the Lower Big Crow Valley for Lu Li's good life, dark, gloomy, there are evil ghosts and yin winds, every year on July 14, there are many ghosts traveling at night, the living can not get close, those who dare to climb over the mouth of the big crow, ten deaths!
"There are some legends that are particularly interesting, I'll tell you about them slowly when I'm free!" Shen Wansha looked proud.
In order not to delay Daniel Zhang's business, Lu Li and Shen Wansha accompanied Daniel Zhang to the direction of Huang Xian Ling's courtyard together, and when the matter was finished, Huang Xian Ling's courtyard door was already in front of him, and there was nothing left and right, so Lu Li pulled Shen Wansha and went in with Daniel Zhang to meet Huang County Ling.
As soon as one foot stepped into the door, he heard Wang Dexing's familiar and excited voice, "I know who the murderer is, it's you!" β
Lu Li was speechless, what is this Uncle Wang smoking?
Shen Wansha laughed out loud and stabbed Lu Li's waist, "He knows who the murderer is......
Lu Li shook his head, walked in and saw the people in the room, and knew that Wang Dexing was identifying who the murderer was.
Standing in the room was Meng Qian wearing monk's shoes and his long-standing Yu Shi, and there was a woman with a face wearing a pink bikini and a beautiful eyebrow standing beside them, looking at the demeanor of several people, this woman should be the maid mentioned by Meng Qian before.
