Lu Qinghuan had asked people to call Liu Ming to ask for clues before, but he went to the suburbs with Lin County Order, and he was not in the county, so he must have come back from the suburbs at this time.

Seeing Liu Ming, Lu Qinghuan didn't sell it, and directly handed the knot he got from Xiao Lu to him, "I wonder if Liu Mingcha knows this thing?" ”

When he saw the knot in Lu Qinghuan's hand, Liu Ming's pupils contracted suddenly, he clenched his fist, and breathed a long sigh of relief, and then he connected the knot in his hand.

Liu Ming gently rubbed the knot in his hand, and it seemed that he could still feel the temperature of the person's body hidden deep in his heart from above, his hand trembled slightly, and then handed the knot back to Lu Qinghuan.

"It's mine, I don't know what the lady wants to ask."

Seeing his reaction like this, Lu Qinghuan was a little worried that what Xiao Lu said was true, but the matter had come to this point, and he had to listen to what Liu Ming said with his own ears. Lu Qinghuan believes that with Liu Ming's personality, he should not do anything to hook up with a married woman.

She tentatively said, "This knot, but Liu gave it to Xia Niangzi?" ”

"Yes, it was given to me in the past...... Xia Niangzi, take it as a ......" Liu Ming's tone was a little unstable, as if the next words would make him feel pain, he closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down, and only said in a low voice for a long time: "To make ...... The ...... of Love"

It turned out that Xiao Lu didn't talk nonsense, Liu Ming and Xia really knew each other! Looking at Liu Ming, who was supposed to be a tough guy, his eyes were red at the moment, and he was hit by it, Lu Qinghuan was a little unbearable. She doesn't like to expose people's scars, but if she doesn't figure out this matter, how can she get rid of Xia's suspicion?

Worried that Lu Qinghuan would misunderstand Xia's personality because of this, Liu Ming hurriedly explained: "This thing was given by Xia Niangzi before she got married, since she married Xiao Dalang, the two of us have long been strangers and have no personal relationship, please don't misunderstand Xia Niangzi!" ”

According to Liu Ming, he and Xia Jinhua are childhood sweethearts, they have known each other since childhood, and the two families also had the intention of getting married, who knew that Xia Jinhua's Aya was seriously ill and needed a large amount of medical expenses, and her stepmother disliked Liu Ming for not being able to take out a large amount of money, so she agreed to Xiao Dalang's proposal.

By the time the two of them knew, the bride price of the Xiao family had already been carried into the Xia family, and Xia Jinhua's Aya had already eaten the best ginseng given by Xiao Dalang, if she didn't agree to marry into the Xiao Mansion, even if she didn't eat or drink for the rest of her life, she couldn't pay back the money for those ginseng. The wood was already in the boat, and Xia Jinhua agreed to Xiao Dalang's proposal and married into the Xiao Mansion to fill the house.

Since Xia Jinhua got married, Liu Ming has never seen her in private, and even if he meets occasionally, he pretends not to know, let alone have a personal relationship.

"Lu Niangzi, how did this knot get into your hands?" Liu Ming went to the suburbs with Lin Xianling early in the morning to investigate the case, and he didn't know about the Xiao Mansion, and when he saw Lu Qinghuan asking him with a knot, he had been worried about whether something had happened to the Xia family.

"Since Liu is so frank, I don't need to hide it, Xiao Dalang was found dead in the study this morning, although according to Xia's words, she was not in the mansion yesterday, but this alone cannot completely prove that she is not suspected of murder."

Liu Ming's breath was stagnant, he didn't expect Xiao Dalang to die - although he also hated Xiao Dalang for snatching love, but he never thought that Xiao Dalang would die suddenly! For a while, his mood was chaotic, and he didn't know whether he was sad or happy, but fortunately, he was a determined person, and he quickly calmed down, according to the truth: "Yesterday, a public holiday was at home, and I saw Xia Niangzi. ”

"What time is it?"

"Three quarters of the unitary."

Liu Ming replied quickly, his tone was firm, Lu Qinghuan couldn't help but have some doubts, although he felt that Liu Ming was upright, but for the sake of the woman he loved wholeheartedly, would he lie?

"Why do you remember it so clearly?"

"I like to practice martial arts in the courtyard every day, and it takes exactly three quarters of an hour to finish a set of boxing techniques, so I remember it very clearly."

"This season, the sky must have gotten dark at three o'clock, how can you be sure that what you see is Xia?"

"At that time, the lights in the Xia family's house were reflected, which happened to shine on Xia Niangzi's body, and she clearly remembered that she was wearing a purple gold flower placket, and she also had the green hibiscus earrings that Xiao Dalang gave when he asked for marriage, and she was undoubtedly her." The two grew up together, and although they didn't see each other much in the past two years, Liu Ming believed that he would never be mistaken.

Since he insisted that it was the Xia family, most of the time there would be no mistake, so that when Xiao Dalang died, the Xia family would not be in the Xiao Mansion at all.

It seems that the most suspicious is the maid named Wutong. However, according to the next person, the relationship between Xiao's father and son is very tense, and Xiao Lu had a big quarrel with Xiao Dalang last night, and it was even rumored that Xiao Dalang beat Xiao Lu, so it is not impossible for Xiao Lu to kill when he is angry.

But why do you need to move the books?

Was it accidentally pushed over, or were you looking for something from it? If Xiao Lu killed Xiao Dalang, why did he set himself on fire and go to report to the official? Or does he have some ulterior motives?

The case seems to be full of clues, but it is like a messy thread, and only by finding the thread can we peel back the cocoon and figure out the truth behind it.

Then the most important thing is to find out the cause of Xiao Dalang's death.

Thinking about the crux of the problem, Lu Qinghuan immediately shared his thoughts with Pei Yuan, thinking that he would give some guidance, but he didn't expect the other party to just nod absentmindedly, and motioned for her to deal with it herself.

Sure enough, the man is reliable, and the pigs will go up the tree. Lu Qinghuan silently scolded Pei Yuan, and led the rosary to return to the Xiao Mansion to re-investigate.

"Lu Niangzi, I want to go to Xiaofu with Niangzi......"

Lu Qinghuan twisted his eyebrows and looked at Liu Ming silently, the meaning in his eyes was very obvious.

Seeing her react like this, Liu Ming also felt that he had broken the rules a little, but he still stubbornly said: "Please forgive me, I swear that I will not show favoritism...... I beg the lady to give her a chance, and I just want to find out the murderer of her husband for her......"

Lu Qinghuan hadn't spoken yet, but Pei Yuan, who had been sipping tea and was silent, suddenly put the tea cup on the table, making a "bang" sound, and he said solemnly: "Liu Ming, you are a public official, you should know how to avoid suspicion, so embarrassing Lu Niangzi, do you think she is young and can be bullied?" ”

Pei Yuan's rare anger made everyone present a little frightened, Liu Ming immediately knelt on the ground and argued urgently: "That's not the case...... Pei Yushi, the contemptible person has no such intention......"

"If you didn't mean to, you shouldn't have made such a difficult request!" Pei Yuan stretched out his slender fingers and knocked on the table, but his eyes fell on Lu Qinghuan's face, "Although Lu Niangzi has no rank, but she was recruited by this imperial history, and she is fully responsible for this case, if you want to show favoritism, you are trapping her in injustice, what do you say?" ”
