After a while, two other people carried Wutong away, and when there were only two people left in the room, Lu Qinghuan glanced at the sky outside, at this time the glow had tended to fade, and the dark sky gradually shrouded her, I was afraid that if I went back later, Gui Niang and they should be in a hurry!

"No one is allowed to approach here for the time being, Xia Niangzi should go out with me!" Although Xia was not suspicious, Lu Qinghuan still couldn't let her stay at the scene, in case she messed up the clues, it would be bad.

Xia also knew that he shouldn't stay, so he smiled apologetically, "Let me send the lady out!" As he spoke, he walked in front of Lu Qinghuan and led the way for her.

Because he was infected with the wind and cold before, Xia's throat had not healed yet, so there were not too many words, and Lu Qinghuan was also thinking about the case, and had no intention of talking to her, so the two were silent along the way, until they reached the door of Xiao's mansion, Xia smiled softly: "Lu Niangzi, it's getting late, Niangzi be careful on the road!" ”

Lu Qinghuan raised her head at this time, it turned out that she had already arrived at the door, she was busy saying goodbye to the Xia family, and as soon as she walked out of the door, she saw a familiar carriage parked at the gate of Xiao Mansion, and the person driving it was Wang Erniu, who was sent by her to find clues before.

"Mrs. Lu." Pei Yuan poked his head out of the carriage and showed a gentle smile to Lu Qinghuan, "Today's lady is tired for a day, why don't you let someone send the lady back!" ”

Lu Qinghuan nodded, there is a free carriage, don't sit in vain!

This carriage is much more spacious than the carriage that Lu Qinghuan returned to Ming County last time, and it is also much more gorgeous, not only laid with soft and thick cushions, but also woven blankets on the floor, two lanterns are hung on both sides of the car wall, and as the carriage moves, it keeps swaying with hazy lights, and there is a low table in the middle of the carriage, on which is a steaming gilded copper kettle.

When Lu Qinghuan got into the carriage, Pei Yuan was sitting cross-legged in front of him drinking tea, and when he saw her coming in, he just owed a debt, so he said hello.

Seeing him so casual, Lu Qinghuan didn't bother to salute with a lady's style, nodded indiscriminately, and sat opposite him.

Through the curtain of the car, Lu Qinghuan carefully asked about the coachman and Xiao Lu, it turned out that the coachman had indeed sent the Xia sisters out of the city yesterday, but not long after leaving the city, he handed over the carriage to Xia Yinhua and walked back to the city, as for Xiao Lu left the Xiao Mansion after dinner last night and went to the east of the city to gamble money, he was not in the mansion at all, as for when he came back, no one in the mansion knew.

It took a day of hard work to get so few clues, Lu Qinghuan held his chin a little dejectedly, thinking about where to start.

Along the way, Pei Yuan only cared about drinking tea, but he didn't say anything, and occasionally picked up some innocuous words and chatted, which made Lu Qinghuan really unable to bear the doubts in his heart, and asked him: "Why don't you just ask about the case of Xiao Mansion at all?" ”

Pei Yuan laughed, picked up the teacup and skimmed the tea foam, and said in a casual tone: "Since it has been entrusted to the lady, why bother asking?" ”

Lu Qinghuan couldn't help muttering, "Why do you believe me so much?" I'm still confused! ”

Hearing what he said, Pei Yuan did not answer, but said with a smile: "I believe that the lady can always clear the dark clouds and see the sun." ”

Lu Qinghuan couldn't help but pout, this is equivalent to saying it in vain!

"Ah, yes!" Lu Qinghuan suddenly remembered Helan Xuanyi's letter, hurriedly pulled it out of his arms, and unfolded it to take a look, Helan's words were like his person, upright and meticulous, and as mentioned above, Xiao Dalang was indeed harmed.

Helan carefully examined Xiao Dalang's body and found that although there were no external injuries on his body, there was a very small pinhole hidden under the red and swollen marks in his mouth, which would not have been discovered without repeated inspections. Helan said that the mark was not poisonous, and that it should have been just an ordinary silver needle that pierced the skull from the upper jaw, causing death.

In other words, Xiao Dalang was murdered to death, not violently!

informed Pei Yuan of Helan Xuanyi's autopsy results, but saw that he looked like he knew it well, and it seemed that he had known the result for a long time.

"You seem to have long been sure that Xiao Dalang was killed?"

Pei Yuan gently placed the teacup on the table and said with a light smile: "The details that the lady has not noticed are the basis for determining that Xiao Dalang was killed." ”

Lu Qinghuan's breath stagnated, yes, she used to be a policewoman, and it was her specialty to find clues in details, why was she so careless in ancient times? It's a shame to blindly want to rely on Pei Yuan's hints to find answers!

She calmed down and carefully recalled the scenes she saw when she entered the study for the first time today, and the scenes were like rewinding movies, which kept flashing in her mind one by one.

"I remember!" Lu Qinghuan suddenly, patted the table with both hands, a smile appeared on his face, and said happily: "It's boots!" ”

If she remembered correctly, when she saw Xiao Dalang this morning, there was a half-taken boot hanging on his left foot, and the boot was stained with some mud, which was obviously caused by the struggle. She had been preoccupied with checking Xiao Dalang's injuries and the traces on the desk, so she didn't notice this, and after combing through it again, she was shocked to find that the clues to Xiao Dalang's killing were placed in front of her, but she didn't notice it.

It turned out that at that time, Pei Yuan knew that Xiao Dalang was killed by someone, but he never said it explicitly, and only let himself investigate it as a homicide, but he didn't expect that although he always looked careless, he was so observant.

In the Sacred Heart Nunnery before, Lu Qinghuan had also seen Pei Yuan's carefulness, he guessed that the murderer was a cook who was a cook with only those powders, and even without Lu Qinghuan's knowledge, he found the unburned monk's clothes belonging to Forget Xin from the hearth. Lu Qinghuan has always believed that she was a policeman, and she has a condescending sense of superiority in the face of the case, but now that she has been repeatedly hit by Pei Yuan, she has corrected her mentality and recognized her ability.

She is indeed not as capable as Pei Yuan now, but she believes that as long as she is more dedicated, she will definitely be able to surpass him!

Thinking of this, Lu Qinghuan restrained his smile and said solemnly to Pei Yuan: "Pei Yushi, from today onwards, I will definitely not let you down and accept me as a recruit!" ”

Unexpectedly, she just wanted to test Lu Qinghuan, and it actually aroused her fighting spirit, Pei Yuan found it even more interesting, looked at Lu Qinghuan and smiled gently: "Then, in the assessment next summer, let me take a look!" ”

"What...... What the? "It's going to be an exam again! Lu Qinghuan's head was suddenly as big as a fight, and he squeezed his eyebrows with a bitter face, his appearance was both funny and funny, and Pei Yuan, who was funny, couldn't help laughing.

The night was deep, the north wind was biting, and Wang Erniu, who was shivering and shivering while sitting on the wheel, listened to the laughter in the carriage, couldn't help pouting, tilted his head and thought: If one day, I can also become the imperial history, how good it would be......
