Chapter 166: Conjecture
Zhao Shu thought about it carefully...... Really.
His whereabouts have been well hidden, no one knows, if the people behind the silver corruption case know that King Ping is here, and they are also aware of the importance of Lu Li to him, the plan cannot be so simple. Chiyantang is someone who knows his identity, but all who know it is dead. He set up a secret guard to protect Lu Li, although there were some accidents today, most of them were temporarily sent out by him, and only Xing Zuo was left, but Xing Zuo had the ability to know, and he would definitely follow Lu Li's side to protect him, even if there was an accident, it was impossible not to have a warning time.
Suddenly very worried, and when he came back, he found that Lu Li was not there, he went crazy all of a sudden, and he didn't send a signal to ask Xing Zuo, and the misunderstanding was ...... produced.
Zhao Shu coughed twice with his hands behind his back, admitting that he did think a little too much.
But his worries are real, not adulterated at all! He was in a hurry like that, but the people in front of him were bent as if they were fine, and they teased him easily!
He couldn't help but have a bruise on his forehead, "There's a crazy murderer out there now!" β
Lu Li sighed faintly, his eyebrows and eyes lowered, and his expression was slightly innocent, "...... Oh. β
Zhao Shu suddenly deflated, and his body was weak.
The person in front of him is the person he hangs on the tip of his heart, and he is reluctant to fight, scold, or even suffer a little grievance.
ββ¦β¦ I'm worried about you. Zhao Shu grabbed Lu Li's shoulders with both hands and forced him to look up at himself, "Be nice, okay?" His voice was like the night wind whispering, helpless, loving, and coaxing.
That chilling, the feeling of the sky falling, he didn't want to try it again.
Lu Li: ...... He's just going to the kitchen to get a cup of soup, as for it!
The starry sky was sprinkled, and the person in front of him seemed to be bathed in soft light, his complexion was like jade, his eyes moved slightly, his lips were moist, and his naughty hair danced in the wind, falling between his eyebrows...... Zhao Shu couldn't help but open his arms again and hugged the person tightly in his arms.
The stars and the moon are shining, the wind is dancing and the fragrance is faint, this moment is too beautiful.
My heart is full of satisfaction, enough to make up for all the suffering I suffered when I was young, and enough to support all the hardships that may come in the future.
If only time could stand still.
Killing people without blinking, the god of killing, known as the enemy of Hades, and Zhao Zhu, the prince of Ping, who can stop children crying at night, have emotional expectations for the first time.
He lowered his head again, ready to continue with the unfinished business.
Fang Cai just tasted it, it had already made his heart sway, his soul was shocked, and before he could go deeper, Shen Wansha came over to interrupt!
The daughter-in-law tastes so good, how can she not taste it carefully!
Unexpectedly, his head had just been lowered, and he was still an inch away from Lu Li's moist lips, when a white ball jumped over, and pounced excitedly on the two of them, and shouted excitedly, "Woohoo!" Woohoo Woo! β
At the same time, Lu Li's body trembled, his hand firmly pressed against his chest, and his head was tilted to one side, with an obvious attitude of refusal.
Zhao Zhu: ...... This stupid dog!
His slender eyes narrowed, staring at the puppy dangerously, eager to immediately peel and stew this little thing of bad people and good deeds!
When Lu Li was there, Da Bai had never been afraid of Zhao Zhu, not only did he not retreat, but he also barked at him boldly.
Lu Li was very glad that Da Bai arrived.
Just kissed this person unexpectedly, he realized that he fell in love with this man who had no other advantages except for his face and body, and martial arts...... It's a little unbearable. Although it feels great to kiss someone they like, the roots of their ears are red, their breathing is faster, and their hearts are eager to do so, but they still need time to get used to it.
Feelings need to be cultivated, the trickle of water is the safest, it doesn't seem to be good if it happens too well, what if you can't control it and finally go straight to bed! He had just felt a certain part of Zhao Zhu...... It's hard.
Zhao Shu was stunned for a moment, why did Lu Li refuse? Didn't you just cooperate quite well?
Lu Li took this opportunity to turn around and slipped out of Zhao Shu's arms, "That, it's tonight, rest early!" With that, he ran away.
Zhao Zhu was a little stunned, what was her daughter-in-law thinking? Why is there so much difference between the front and back tables?
Love...... It's annoying.
There was an unprecedented silly smile on his face, some of it was sè, and some of it was troubled, but overall, it was quite happy.
He sighed loudly, thinking that it was finally in his bowl, and his daughter-in-law didn't seem to be much disgusted, the days were still long, he had an opportunity, and there was no need to rush it.
No matter how you say that you took advantage of it today, it was still taken when Lu Li was sober, he was in a good mood and whistled. He stretched out his hands and crossed them behind his head, his head slightly tilted, looking at the starry sky.
No wonder Lu Li likes it, this starry sky is like a pearl sprinkled on a black jade plate, shining and shining, it is indeed very good-looking.
Well...... Go back and watch your daughter-in-law sleep!
Zhao Shu yawned lazily and strode forwardβalmost slipping.
"Day-" There is a pile of broken porcelain under your feet, and there are wet floor tiles, and it is indeed very slippery when you accidentally step on it, who did it!
Just wanted to swear, Zhao Shu came back to his senses, squatted down and looked at the ground carefully.
It seems that Lu Li was holding a bowl in his hand just now?
And then because he accidentally broke it because of his rude actions?
Behold the earth, and there was something in the bowl...... The taste is sweet and fragrant, and it is obviously eaten.
Zhao Shu touched his chin and thought for a long time, is his daughter-in-law hungry?
He tilted his head and thought about the past. He was very excited when he saw Lu Lishengsheng, and hugged the person violently, it was not enough to hug him, and he gnawed on his mouth, although Lu Li struggled slightly, but he did not refuse, the atmosphere was very good, but what did both sides say......
Can't remember.
But Lu Li was not in the room in the middle of the night, and ran to the kitchen to find food, he must be hungry!
Zhao Zhu finally stood up with a firm gaze: As a person who loves his daughter-in-law, he must solve his daughter-in-law's troubles! The daughter-in-law is hungry and drops the supper for his own reasons, so he has to get another one for his daughter-in-law, and it must be more luxurious than the one on the ground!
Zhao Shu turned his toes in a direction and ran towards the inn kitchen.
Xing Zuo, who was on the wall and watched the occurrence of a qiΔ, almost flashed into stars, "Kiss, kiss!" Xiaoyou, did you see it, the prince and the princess kissed each other! β
Hong You: ...... I'm not blind.
Xingzuo hugged his arms and snorted, "But the prince is not wise at all this time, and he went crazy without asking me first!" "And let Xiao You be busy as a dog and do a bunch of useless things! Xing Zuo decided, so he didn't tell the princess that the bowl of soup on the ground was prepared by the princess for the prince!
If the incident in the east window happens, he will hide behind the princess, and he will not believe that the prince dares to fight! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
β¦β¦
This is the first time Zhao Shu has done such a thing, going to the kitchen in person, ordering dishes in person, ordering in person, and preparing to get a love supper for his sweetheart. Because he was not skilled in business, he never had any broken silver on him, and he snatched some silver from the secret guard at the head of the wall; I was also worried that the chef would not do it well, so I gave a smile for the first time.
The cook in the kitchen was scared...... I almost didn't find a piece of tofu and tried to hit it. In the middle of the night, a tall man looked at a strong man who could kill a tiger with one punch, and showed them a weird smirk as if black and white impermanence...... This one didn't come to ask for supper, he came to ask for their lives!
The chefs have an extremely positive attitude, the cutting action is fast and can produce a virtual shadow, the oil pot 'hisses' fires, the spoon is almost upside down, and the dishes are finished very quickly, plated, and picked up into the food box.
Zhao Shu was satisfied with the speed, thinking that the silver was indeed good, no wonder Shen Wansha was so good, and his daughter-in-law liked it so much, and his eyes could be bent into crescents when he earned silver.
It's just this dish...... It's too rough.
But in a small place, it's night again, so it's finally reconciled.
Zhao Shu picked up the food box and left.
The cooks breathed a sigh of relief. This master is really wonderful, saying what bear paws, humps, swallow wings and abalone cucumbers to eat...... It's insane! Not to mention that you can't get it in the middle of the night, even if it's daytime, even if it's a top restaurant, the entire Jingzhao Mansion can't find these ingredients! The food box is already the most luxurious supper they can do, and he is not satisfied!
Don't come again next time, never again!
Zhao Zhu walked to Lu Li's room with the food box, and he was still in a very good mood. He thought that now that the two were closer, it should be different from usual, so he didn't knock on the door, and directly pushed open the door of Lu Li's room, trying to surprise Lu Li.
I don't know that Lu Li's mood is actually a little bad. It's very comfortable to kiss the person you like, but for the first time in your life, you have to prepare food for someone for the first time in your life, but it is broken, and your body is dirty and hugging people...... Very unpleasant.
The style of painting is too incongruous! Others thought about how beautiful the kiss was at first, but he remembered that it was dirty and smelly......
Lu Li stroked his forehead deeply, called a bucket of hot water, and took a bath!
Because he was a little restless, he forgot to bolt the door, and he was alone in the room, and there was no need to put a screen, so he sat in the bathtub, facing the door.
When Zhao Shu pushed the door in, he was sideways with a handkerchief ready to wipe his body.
"Daughter-in-law, look at my good thingsβ"
The two stared wide-eyed.
Then, Zhao Zhu was very unproductive...... Suspicious fluid begins to flow at the corners of the mouth.
"Ahh
He immediately dragged his clothes and put them on his body, threw the handkerchief in his hand at the comer, and at the same time threw whatever he caught at hand, "You get out!" Get out!! Get out of here!! β
"Wow woo - " Da Bai was going to sleep in the master's room tonight, and he was lying on the side obediently, but when he heard the master's voice, he immediately jumped out, pounced on Zhao Shu and bit him on the placket of his clothes.
Zhao Zhu's hand was unsteady under the excitement, the food box fell to the ground, and there was a huge sound of 'pop', and the vegetables were spilled on the ground.
Lu Li was excited, the puppy was also very angry, and Zhao Shu was a little embarrassed in addition to being excited.
Although he is domineering, advocating the winner as the king, and it is not uncommon to do such things as forcible seizure, he still reads a lot of books, knows etiquette, righteousness and shame, and wants to be a gentleman in his heart......
"Don't worry, I'll go out...... Let's get out ......."
Lu Li's head jumped, and he continued to throw things and smash people, "You guys are going to-"
Zhao Shu closed the door, leaned his back against the wall next to the door, and stroked his left chest with his right hand, which was beating like a drum, and sighed deeply.
There is a person living in his heart, and he doesn't know how to be good......
In just one hour, all kinds of intense emotions came one after another, bad, good, and indescribable, which confused his whole person, which was an experience that he had never had in more than 20 years of life.
It's very novel, very strange, and a little tired, but he is not bored at all, on the contrary, he enjoys it and is very satisfied. It's like soaking in a hot spring when you're so tired that you don't want to open your eyes.
As long as he can be with Lu Li, even if the chickens and dogs are jumping every day, and it is very lively, he is very willing......
Lu Li wiped his body tiredly, got dressed, stared at the dumped food box on the ground, and spilled food with any taste on the ground...... Silently stroke your forehead.
He seems to have fallen in love with a very two-person person.
The days to come...... What can I do?
After this difficult night, when Lu Li, who woke up, saw Zhao Shu again, he was able to achieve a plain surface like water.
The case hasn't been solved yet, how can you have the heart to fall in love! It matters that this case must be solved quickly, he has no other time!
After another three days, there was still no movement in Yu Tianyi, Wei Zhutou, Shen Wan Shahe Lianyu collected more and more information, and the corpse examinations that came one after another were also the same as before, and no more clues were updated, it was time to analyze thoroughly and make a plan to arrest the murderer.
Lu Li, Zhao Zhu, Shen Wansha, He Lianyu, and the four gathered in the main hall of the inn.
"I like this kind of time the most, let's talk, summarize, remind, maybe you can know who the murderer is!" Shen Wansha smiled and narrowed his eyes, raised his delicate little chin high, pointed to the tea cup, and motioned to Helian Yu to pour the tea.
However, in a few days, Helian Yu was used to being called by the young master, he trimmed his eyebrows slightly, his peach blossom eyes narrowed, the corners of his lips rose with a smile, and he personally held the pot to pour tea for Shen Wansha, not reluctant at all.
Zhao Zhu thought this was good, he could learn, and he also personally held the pot and poured tea for Lu Li. It's a pity that Helian Yu gave Shen Wansha a satisfied smile after pouring the tea, and after he poured the tea, Lu Li didn't even give a glance.
Zhao Shu sighed.
I don't know what's going on, that night the moonlight is like water, the fragrance of flowers is light, every qiΔ is so beautiful, he tasted the most wonderful taste in the world, but after a night, Lu Li turned his face and didn't recognize people, and refused to get close to him, let alone kiss.
The soldiers in the camp all said that the daughter-in-law has a heart, a needle under the sea, loves to play with a small temperament, and has a small temper, and if it is a man, he has to let it go and coax it. Zhao Zhu also waited patiently, but if he endured it to the limit, Lu Li would still be like this...... Don't blame him for his strength!
The room was quiet for a while, and Zhao Shu raised his head, "In the past few days, the murderer has not acted. β
Shen Wansha smiled, "You are stupid to be a murderer, others have such a big situation, he has to take the bait immediately?" Why do you have to listen and study more, kill so many people, the murderer is thoughtful. He and Helian Yu had also heard the analysis of this matter from Lu Li, and they were deeply impressed, Xiao Lizi was really the smartest!
Lu Li took a sip of tea and glanced at Zhao Zhu without a trace.
Sure enough, Zhao Zhu's face darkened.
The murderer is not stupid, this second thing is stupid! As soon as the news came out, he ran to make sure that Yu Tianyi was safe, and his brain short-circuited thinking that he had lost it, so he made a big fuss.
Zhao Shu didn't want to think of such a black history at all, in fact, it was indeed rare for him to lose his sense of proportion like this, and winning more than ten years of battles was not fake! But the fact is so helpless, leaving such a bad impression on the daughter-in-law......
Zhao Shu is bitter in his heart!
In order to reverse his image, he changed his previous style of not speaking, and took the lead in rational analysis, "The murderer can successfully kill so many people, and these people are all related to the silver embezzlement case, it is obvious that he is depressed because of the silver embezzlement case, and it is likely that he has been hurt because of it." β
Shen Wansha agreed to this, "But even if he has been treated unfairly and wants revenge, it is impossible for all the dead to have harmed him!" β
"Someone who can be the target of everyone's attack must be outstanding and have outstanding talents in some way." Helian Yu put the white jade teacup on his fingertips, and his five fingers turned to play, "Such a person will not be unknown to everyone, if he commits a crime, it is easy to find, and the murderer is obviously not." β
"The murderer was not persecuted by all the dead, but he was able to accurately find these people and kill them......" Shen Wansha frowned, "Why?" β
Zhao Zhu's fingertips tapped on the table, and the old god was interjecting, "The murderer must have intersections with other people who have been hurt by the silver embezzlement case." β
It may be an acquaintance, someone may have quietly helped him integrate resources, and the murderer must collect this information in order to successfully kill someone.
"But how?" Shen Wansha was very curious, "Even if the murderer knows some people and knows the officials who are doing evil in the circle of silver embezzlement, when and where did these officials appear, and how did he know?" β
The white porcelain cup on Helian Yu turned faster and faster, almost becoming a phantom, "Just like this Si Xingying, he quietly came to Jingzhao Mansion and turned into Shengyu, and probably only Li Tong knew his identity......
He has the same question as Shen Wansha, how did the murderer know?
"The murderer is also very smart," Zhao Shu frowned slightly, "cut off the deceased's head, take away all the clothes and accessories, and then abandon the corpse in the wilderness, making it difficult to find his identity." "Because of this, all cases are extremely embarrassing to solve.
"Beheaded...... Is it really because of hiding the identity of the deceased? Lu Li held the teacup in both hands and suddenly interjected. His eyelashes flickered slightly, and his gaze wandered, "...... Is it just because you want to hide your identity? β
"Why bother so much if you don't hide your identity," Shen Wansha put the empty teacup in front of Helian Yu, "Although I haven't tried it, but I've seen executions in the execution ground, and the executioners are all big men, as powerful as oxen, but even so, even if I cut more than a dozen people, I couldn't keep my breath and strength." My father said that he had seen the clan commit a big crime and punish the whole clan, the executioner cut to the back and had no strength, and it took several cuts before people died, and some of the heads were not cut off, and the skin and flesh fascia were connected, but it was miserable! β
After he finished speaking, he dragged Helian Yu, "You know martial arts, you say, is it very laborious to cut off your head?" β
Helian Yu picked up the teapot and refilled the water for him, "It's really laborious, human bones are very hard." β
Lu Li shook his head, "I mean ......"
"What he means is that there is not only one person who cuts off the head," Zhao Shu looked at Lu Li deeply and took over the conversation, "It may be that he wants to hide something, such as a special scar." β
Yes, this is it! Lu Li looked at Zhao Zhu, his eyes lit up, and a bright smile involuntarily bloomed on his face, but he could sense that Zhao Zhu's gaze began to deepen, he smiled, turned his face away, and coughed twice, "I suddenly thought that there might be other reasons." For example, the murderer has a special profession, and the types of weapons that can be obtained to injure people are limited, which will leave extremely obvious characteristics, and you can know what kind of tool it is by looking at the scars, and then investigate the person engaged in this profession deeply. If there are not many people doing this kind of work, it will be easier for the murderer to be found. β
"Then we have to pay attention to the people who are engaged in special trades in Huajinfang......" Shen Wansha's eyes rolled, and he added, "You have to have a lot of strength!" β
"Well, I happen to have the information sent by Wei Zhutou here, about the floating population in Huajinfang, and he sent all the information that he can find." Lu Li smiled and got up to go to the study to move the file, Zhao Shu walked in front of him, "You rest, I'll come." β
A pile of files was placed on the table in the main hall, and Lu Li sighed, "There are too many things, I can't read them all by myself, and I called everyone here today to ask for your help." β
Helian Yu flipped through the thick file and smacked his tongue again and again, "So much...... Is this the government giving you full authority over the whole case? β
"This is a backup, and the government also has a complete set." Lu Li remembered the scene where Yu Zhi beckoned the scribes to work overtime to copy, and he had a headache.
The elder trusts him so much, he should not let it down.
"Let's analyze the facts of the case first, and it is also beneficial to find the direction by clarifying a little bit." Lu Li stood in front of a pile of files, put his hands behind his back and continued to speak, "There is another point worth noting. The deceased were all in the same position when they were abandoned, as if it didn't make any sense, but it was more comfortable to lie down in that position compared to the living. At first, I wondered if the murderer was remorseful, after all, the psychological burden of killing people is very large, but today...... I have a new conjecture. β
"Will the murderer be expressing: I forgive you. Because the murderer took the man's life, cut off his head, and thought that the man got the end he deserved, so he could be forgiven. β
Lu Li looked at Zhao Zhu, "Because of this, the people behind the silver corruption case created public opinion and wanted to use Yu Tianyi to incite the murderer to come out, so the murderer did not act." Because Yu Tianyi's crime was conclusive, he was imprisoned, and his condition was not good, and he couldn't live for a few days. β
Zhao Shu was stunned.
He said, how can there be such a strong sense of disobedience. Shen Wansha felt that the murderer would kill Yu Tianyi, and he didn't take action but was just looking for clues and making plans. But the person behind the silver corruption case did so much, he almost thought of everything, the murderer cut off people's heads neatly, obviously a person with strong action and not afraid of consequences, he should have come a long time ago......
So that's it......
That makes sense.
Shen Wansha was also stunned, and then his eyes lit up, "Is this the case?" Little oak, you're so smart! β
The little friend is too enthusiastic, the words are constantly beautiful, and he is sincere again and again, Lu Li's skin is not thicker than someone's, and the roots of his ears are a little red, "...... It's nothing, I learned this, so I know a little more...... In fact, a qiΔ is also speculation, which may not be accurate. β
"You don't need to say it, anyway, the young master just believes you!" Shen Wansha waved his hand, propped his chin, and rolled his big eyes, "The industry is not particularly lively, the number of people will not be particularly large, and you have to have the strength to do it...... Farming? No, there are too many farms...... Carriage and horse handling and unloading? Smashed adobe to build a house? β
Thinking about these people he saw every day, Shen Wansha tried to give more examples, "Iron? Cook? Lumberjack? β
