Chapter 31 New Cases
Lu Qinghuan, who was dressing, instantly sobered up and blinked, there was a case so soon? It seems that the security of Ming County needs to be improved!
Lu Qinghuan picked out a light crimson tight-sleeved tunic riding suit from Lu Yuge's cage, although he was shorter than Lu Yuge, but because of the waist, it was not too big, but it just made Lu Qinghuan more and more slender. The wound on her head had already scabbed, Lu Qinghuan tied her hair behind her head, and thought that Lu Yuge's jewelry was too gorgeous, so she only picked an ebony hairpin on her head.
Such an outfit made Lu Qinghuan, who had a weak face, suddenly show a sassy and heroic appearance.
Looking at Lu Qinghuan's capable appearance, the rosary opened her mouth in amazement, and she was stunned for a long time before she said, "Lady...... It doesn't look the same......"
Lu Qinghuan smiled lightly, Lu Qinghuan in the past looked gentle, but his temperament was very delicate and willful, of course, unlike himself, even if the skin has not changed, a person's inner has changed, and the flaws can be seen.
But she is not afraid, she has experienced so many things, even if there is a little change, it is reasonable, who can say that she is not Lu Qinghuan?
Lu Qinghuan soon saw the person sent by Pei Yuan, it was none other than Wang Erniu, who saved Lu Qinghuan that day.
Although Wang Erniu saved Lu Qinghuan, he concealed the bone shrinking skill first, and the merits and demerits were offset, and Pei Yuan did not blame him for this.
Although he had a bad impression of him before, but after all, he was saved by him, and Lu Qinghuan still sincerely blessed him with a gift, which was counted as a thank you.
Wang Erniu avoided Lu Qinghuan's salute and scratched his head with a little embarrassment, "I'm sorry for Mrs. Lu, if it weren't for the contemptible fear of things and greed, the lady who wouldn't be tired would be injured......"
"If this is not the case, how can the prince know that he has righteousness in his heart?" Lu Qinghuan raised his lips and chuckled.
Wang Erniu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded heavily for a long time, his evasive eyes were also full of firm gaze at the moment.
From Wang Erniu's mouth, Lu Qinghuan learned the ins and outs of the matter, and it turned out that just this morning, the subordinates of the Xiao Mansion found Xiao Dalang dead in the room.
Coincidentally, they met the Xia family at the gate of the city yesterday, but they didn't expect to hear the news of Xiao Dalang's violent death today.
Soon arrived at the Xiao Mansion, Lu Qinghuan got out of the carriage, originally didn't want to take the rosary, so as not to scare her, but she had to follow, and Lu Qinghuan had no choice but to give up.
The Xiao family is obviously one of the largest wealthy merchants, and the Xiao Mansion occupies an extremely large area, and a single front hall alone is almost the size of the Lu Mansion. Beyond the wall of the front hall, I walked along the verandah for a long time before I arrived at the wing room of the back house.
The two followed behind Wang Erniu, all the way unimpeded, although the people they met looked sad, but they were orderly and did not panic at all, which shows that Xiao Fu usually trains properly.
"Lu Niangzi, it's here, Pei Yushi is waiting for the lady inside."
Wang Erniu led Lu Qinghuan to the outside of Xiao Dalang's study, and did not go in, but stood by the door, pointed inside, and motioned for Lu Qinghuan to go in.
According to Wang Erniu, yesterday the Xia family returned to their parents' home to save their relatives, and they were not in the house, only Xiao Dalang and his son Xiao Lu were at home.
Xiao Dalang has always been at odds with Xiao Lu, and the father and son had a quarrel at dinner, and then Xiao Dalang read the account book alone in the study, and it was not until this morning that people found out that he had been dead for a long time.
After an examination, Xiao Dalang died of overwork and violent death, and some people confirmed that Xiao Dalang had indeed shouted angina many times recently.
On the face of it, there's nothing wrong with that.
Leaving the rosary outside the door, Lu Qinghuan walked in alone, and as soon as he entered, he saw the old god Pei Yuan sitting on the couch on one side of the house making tea and drinking tea, and when he saw her come in, he looked at her and smiled gently, "Coming?" ”
"Pei Yushi." Lu Qinghuan blessed himself according to the ceremony, and saw that Pei Yuan had no intention of getting up, so he didn't care, and looked at the furnishings in the room.
Xiao Dalang had been moved aside before, and was now placed on the low couch next to him. Because of the cold weather, his body was already stiff, his face was pale, and his pupils were dilated.
Lu Qinghuan squatted beside the low couch and carefully examined Xiao Dalang's corpse, there were no traces of external injuries, and the clothes on his body were also very neat, it seemed that he was not killed by external force. She stood up and walked to the desk, where she saw a lot of ledgers piled up on the table, one of which was opened and placed next to it, and a brush had fallen from the floor. On the surface, Xiao Dalang should have been annotating the ledger last night, and he didn't want angina to attack suddenly, so the brush in his hand fell to the ground, and the ledger also slipped down, but unfortunately he was powerless to call for help at that time, so he could only struggle and wait for death.
After carefully inspecting the scene, Lu Qinghuan found nothing, she frowned and glanced at the neat ledgers stacked on the table, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
I learned from the subordinates that except for Xiao Dalang, no one is usually allowed to enter the study, and even the cleaning must be completed under his supervision, and the key to the study is only owned by him.
That's why he had an angina attack last night, but no one noticed it until this morning.
The study was only cleaned once every three or five days, and the last time it was cleaned was four days ago, Lu Qinghuan had seen it before, and there was a thin layer of dust on the low couch on the desk, but the desk was too clean, and it seemed to have been carefully wiped.
A person who often keeps accounts must know that it is more convenient to stack the ledgers according to the serial number, and it is really strange to stack them together in such a random way.
"Pei Yushi, did you already know that these account books had been moved?" Lu Qinghuan looked at Pei Yuan with a sparkling gaze.
Pei Yuan had already stopped drinking tea, and had been watching Lu Qinghuan's movements, and when he saw her asking, he lifted his lips and chuckled: "Based on this alone, it is naturally impossible to determine that Xiao Dalang's violent death is man-made, but since Xiao Xiaolangjun has already reported to the official, he will do a murder investigation" After a pause, he asked Lu Qinghuan: "I don't know what the lady found?" ”
Ask your own opinion so quickly, this Pei Yushi really values her!
Lu Qinghuan pouted, "I don't have any opinions for the time being, but as long as it is not a natural death, I will definitely be able to find out the clues." ”
"Oh?" Pei Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Qinghuan with a smile, "How to check?" ”
Looking at his appearance, Lu Qinghuan knew that he must have guessed what he wanted to say, but he didn't pick it out and deliberately let himself say it himself.
Just say it, it's his fault for offending him anyway!
"Naturally, Xiao Dalang's corpse has been re-examined."
Pei Yuan clasped his palms, and the smile that the conspiracy had succeeded revealed: "Then there is Lao Niangzi, go and ask Helan Langjun to come over for an autopsy!" ”
This scheming fox! It turned out that he had already calculated that he would ask Helan Xuanyi for an autopsy! Last time, Helan had obviously rejected his invitation, so wouldn't it be the same to let herself go now?
