Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Bizarre Murder
Lu Li went downstairs, sat back next to Shangguan Yuling, and turned sideways in his direction.
"That person is indeed Ding Xiaobiao, but he came to find his sister today."
"Sister?" Duan Lang couldn't help but wonder, isn't this Ding Xiaobiao an orphan?
"It's this girl who is about to come to power, I listened to the conversation between the two of them, this Liuying should be the eldest in the family, she was sold by her father since she was a child, so she ended up here, so she has a lot of complaints about her father,." Lu Li picked up the teacup in front of him and raised his head and took a sip, "But this girl is very strange, the reason why she doesn't want to recognize Ding Xiaobiao is that she has an intimate relationship with the same person, and she also said that if she recognizes Ding Xiaobiao, it will hurt him, which is quite strange." ”
The two frowned slightly, the stage was quiet at this moment, the red silk was falling, and the performance seemed to be about to start.
"I see that person is dressed, he should be a person from the martial arts, wearing a red coat, and his behavior is very frivolous."
"You met him?" Shangguan Yinling keenly grasped the key point and asked.
"I was hiding outside the window, and when he pushed the window to escape, he happened to see me." Lu Li replied truthfully, "Then he didn't embarrass me, and left directly, I think he has excellent light skills, and he is on par with adults." ”
"Who is this person? I haven't heard of such a person in the rivers and lakes. "Duan Lang has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has heard of some famous people in the rivers and lakes, but he has never heard of this person in red.
"I know who he is." Shangguan Yinling said in a low voice, "This matter has nothing to do with us, I haven't seen or heard anything today." ”
Hearing Shangguan Yinling say this, the two knew that this man in red was not a master to be messed with.
Just look at his frivolous appearance, you can know that it must be a difficult one.
Since it has nothing to do with Red Flame, it is indeed inconvenient for them to take care of it.
Soon, the sound of the silk bamboo piano sounded, the petals of the sky were scattered, the figure in the air was graceful, and a piece of red silk fell, and then, the girl pulled the red silk and slipped down slowly, dancing in mid-air, grabbing the red silk and turning a few times.
The posture is enchanting, the dancing posture is soft, and the people under it are all obsessed.
Then she landed on the stage, her red dress was chic, and her arms and legs were exposed with large patches of skin, her face was covered with a red veil, and her hair was also delicately pulled up.
The boys at the bottom looked amazing, and they all had an obsession with beauty in their eyes, only Shangguan Ling was sitting at the table, reaching out to hold the teacup, and his fingertips rubbing the cup slightly, although he watched the performance on stage, his mind was not on the performance.
Lu Li and Duan Lang were already immersed in the performance, and they didn't notice the look of Shangguan Yuling beside them at all.
After the dance, the girl owed slightly, and then disappeared on the stage, and everyone hadn't seen enough, and they coaxed the girl to dance again.
"Miss Liuyi has another song! Let's do it again! ”
"One more song!"
“……”
The people below echoed one after another, and my mother had to stand in front of the stage to maintain order.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! Mother raised her voice and shouted, and finally stabilized everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, how can you just watch the show?" Who wants to spend a moment of Spring Festival with the young girl? ”
"Of course I do! Aren't all of us here here for the Wandering Girl! ”
"All of you are very generous, even so, Mom, I don't talk nonsense, who can spend tonight with Miss Liuying, it depends on who you bid higher, the lowest price is three hundred taels!"
"I'll give three hundred and fifty taels!"
"Four hundred taels!"
"Four hundred and fifty taels!"
"Six hundred taels!"
“……”
Duan Lang and Lu Li are not as rich as these sons, Shangguan Yinling is not poor, but he will not spend money on such things, so the three of them sat silently at the table and watched the others bid.
In the end, the richest man in Jingzhou City got the opportunity to spend the Spring Festival with the girl at a high price of 1,000 taels.
In the envious eyes of everyone, some middle-aged fat men went upstairs quite proudly and walked into the room of the Liuying girl.
After watching the excitement, there was no Liuying girl coming out to perform, and the group only felt bored, so they left one after another, and Shangguan Yinling and the three of them also left Baijinglou and returned to the post station to rest.
Lu Li only felt sleepy, and when he returned to the bedroom, he rested early, got up early the next morning, and when he went downstairs to eat, he saw that the people passing by were all solemn, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
The five of them were sitting at the table eating, only to see the prefect of Jingzhou running in in a hurry, and the official hat had not yet had time to be put on.
"Lord Shangguan! Lord Shangguan, help! ”
Shangguan Yinling frowned slightly, and when he saw him kneeling on the ground, he knew that something big must have happened: "What happened?" ”
"Last night in Baijinglou, there was a murder! The richest man in the city, Zhang Yuanwai, died mysteriously! ”
The three of them looked shocked, and Lu Li and Duan Lang glanced at each other.
Isn't Zhang Yuanwai the fat man who bought a low-flying girl overnight at a high price yesterday? He's dead?
Lu Li looked at Shangguan Yinling, his expression was as usual, but there was doubt in his eyes, she suddenly remembered what she heard outside the door of Miss Liuying.
Could it be that this matter has something to do with the man in red yesterday?
The four of them didn't even finish breakfast, so they hurriedly set off and went to the morgue of the government office.
In the morgue, Zhang Zuo was performing an autopsy on Zhang Yuanwai, who was blue and stiff, and had been dead for about three hours.
Judging by his frightened look, he seemed to have seen something terrible before he died.
Shangguan Yinling and Lu Li put on gloves and followed them to carefully examine the corpse.
Old Man Zhou followed and watched for a while, and also put on gloves.
There were no large wounds on the deceased's body, and there was no obvious bleeding, only a blood mark in the center of his eyebrows, as if he had been fatally killed by some blow, and he didn't even struggle before he died.
There is no clue from the corpse, they have never seen this kind of murder before, and it may be more difficult to find the murderer.
"The chest tool should be similar to a sharp weapon such as a steel nail, very sharp, depending on the depth of the nail, the other party has a certain skill, although the martial arts are not excellent, but they are not bad." The old man took off his gloves and analyzed in an orderly manner, "This case is difficult. ”
"There are too many people coming and going in Baijinglou, and Zhang Yuanwai was so arrogant yesterday, it's not surprising that he was targeted, and now the murderer is hard to find," Duan Lang couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Li frowned slightly, she had a guess in her heart, Zhang Yuanwai died in Liuying's wing, Liuying was the first person to be suspected, followed by Ding Xiaobiao, yesterday she clearly heard that he didn't want Liuying to spend the night with this kind of hooligan, and then the man in red she met, seeing that his martial arts should be good, it was easy to kill a soil fat circle like Zhang Yuanwai.
But the question is, how can Zhang Yuanwai have such a frightened expression on his face.
