Cheng Kunyu was so angry that his beard flew wildly, glared at Li Guolou viciously, and shouted angrily: "Okay, I'll give you face, but you must find out the murderer, and the red diamond must help the official find it." "Since my daughter is dead, the priceless red diamond must be found, otherwise it will be a big loss.

"The subordinate must be strong." Li Guolou replied.

"Li Zhutou, you have to be responsible." Cheng Kunyu looked at the courtyard with his hands behind his back, not letting others see his tears, the loss left in his heart, he was not old, but he could only support the elderly, just Prince Shangli wanted to spread his wings and fly high, but he lost both people and money.

"As long as the murderer returns to the house, the lower officials will definitely find him." Li Guolou replied unequivocally.

In the courtyard, Li Guolou instructed Ai Hai to take the arresters to find clues left by the murderer, the arresters scattered in all directions, and each did their own work very tacitly, Li Guolou walked up the stairs, the narrow and dark staircase is to lock a little girl to be happy for a lifetime, he will not build this kind of resentful daughter building, and the daughter also has the ideal of pursuing happiness.

The daughter building is a small two-storey attic with cornices, red bricks and green tiles, small and exquisite, it is a closed boudoir embroidery building, the bottom floor of the attic is the living room, along the stairs behind the screen, it comes upstairs, a few silver candlesticks in the bedroom are bright and festive candles all night, only the candle at the staircase and the candlestick are overturned, and all kinds of furniture drawers in the bedroom are wide open, and the things inside are turned into a mess, especially the dresser countertop is sprinkled with cosmetics and scattered jewelry on the ground.

The stolen property is not only a priceless red diamond, but also some jewels are missing, Li Guolou did not see the female corpse, only saw a pool of blood on the ground, this is the place where Cheng Xiaochun died, the blood penetrated into the wooden floor, and could never wash away the breath of death.

Li Guolou squatted on the ground and asked, "In addition to the troupe, who else is there in the Chang Governor's Mansion!" ”

The head manager Chang Shikuan said: "Oh, there are also jewelry Liu Weihuang, Master Liu, do wedding clothes Sang Mengge, Pantou Yangzi aunt, take pictures, Captain Li, you know, it is your family who opened the Baozhu photo studio Roberts Torres and his two apprentices, and there are more than 30 people in those scenes, I know that they are all suspected and all of them are under control!" ”

"Have you found the lost treasure?" Li Guolou cares about this, people will not die, and he feels helpless that his business partner Roberts is also involved in the murder.

"All searched, but nothing was found." The head manager, Chang Shikuan, said very loudly just now, but he didn't accomplish anything.

Li Guolou took the embroidery picture and looked at the pattern carefully, I don't know what he thinks, Li Guolou took out a magnifying glass from his leather bag, and searched on the wooden floor on the ground.

There are no female servants in the Criminal Department, and the general female corpses are also male corpses to check things, and today the special male servants are all young and young, but they have no ability to use them, and the Criminal Department is from the female cell to call a female prison guard Di Gu to check the body, and after an hour, the female prison guard Di Gu and Yelia came out of the next room.

There was a bloody knife on the plate, which was the murder weapon.

"Report to Captain Li, the deceased Cheng Xiaochun was stabbed in the stomach, a fatal knife, and no other wounds were found." The female prison guard, Aunt Di, had an excited expression on her face, and there were blood stains on her gloves.

"Well, I know, Aunt Di is doing very well, and there will be a reward when you go back." Li Guolou glanced at Yelia and confirmed once again that there was no problem.

Li Guolou whispered a few words to Aunt Di, who clenched her fists and ordered her to check on the corpse again.

"Hmm······ Where was the red diamond supposed to be. Li Guolou asked.

"Oh, put it here." The nurse Zhang Xiuyu opened a hidden drawer under the mahogany bed, and there were some treasures inside, and the middle decoration of a delicate gold necklace was gone.

"Oh, Miss Cheng didn't wear it." Li Guolou took the gold necklace with a missing ornament, and imagined in his mind what a fifteen-carat diamond would look like.

The Qing Dynasty never knew that there were diamonds in the world, which was a luxury jewelry from the West, so that the Chinese people knew that there was a treasure more valuable than sapphires, but unfortunately he had never seen the legendary blood-colored diamonds.

After the inquest, Li Guo went downstairs to the attic, Ai Hai came over to report to him, shook his head and said: "Report to Captain Li, nothing has been found, there is no trace of being climbed over the wall, and the murderer should have entered the daughter's building through the doorway!" ”

"yes, got it." Li Guolou expected in his heart that the murderer entered the daughter's building from the courtyard gate, and as expected, the murderer knew the deceased Cheng Xiaochun, and he was also equipped with a courtyard door key, and Cheng Xiaochun was willing to open the door latch inside and let the murderer enter the daughter's building, Cheng Xiaochun should have thought it was fun, it was rare to have friends to play, and he also deceived the two maids who were close to him, but he didn't expect that Cheng Xiaochun thought he was a good friend, but he was a murderer with a fifteen-carat red diamond.

Chang Shikuan hurriedly roared and said: "There are a few flower rooms in the north courtyard, usually only the old gardener Li Laohan lives in the flowers and plants, this time I specially invited the young lady out of the pavilion to use a few people, for the convenience of the nearest place, all live in the flower room, this morning found that the young lady was killed, I think the six of them could not escape the suspicion, so I detained the six of them in the courtyard, waiting for you to investigate, that British devil is difficult to do, I can only give him money, let him dissipate his anger!" ”

Li Guolou said angrily: "What is the posture of that pantou aunt." He was worried that Roberts would hook up with other women and do sorry things.

"It looks like it's okay, Captain Li, otherwise which lady will find her to put on her head and makeup." Although Chang Shikuan felt strange, he still told the truth, what is the appearance of the makeup artist's aunt Yangzi, and what does it have to do with solving the case, Chang Shikuan couldn't understand it in his mind, peeking at the blonde foreign woman Yelia, thinking about Li Guolou's various deeds, his heart burned with a raging fire, he is not old, if he can talk about the blonde foreign woman, he can also fight for three or four rounds to write charm.

The group came to the north courtyard, the four family members at the door were not allowed to be obstacles, Chang Shikuan knocked on the door, and a forty or fifty-year-old man opened the door, he was the old gardener Li Laohan.

"Are they all in their own rooms?" Chang Shikuan asked hurriedly.

"Both, I'm keeping a tight eye." Li Laohan's eyes showed a fierce look, and he was sure that there was a murderer in his yard, and he waved his fists as if he was going to beat someone.

Li Guolou looked at it and saw that there was a row of houses in the small courtyard, an old locust tree in the courtyard, with lush branches and leaves, and three crow's nests on it, the open space was full of plants, and the flower pots were full of them.

Sun Laohan chattered, and when he saw that Li Guolou noticed his craftsmanship, he came over and said regretfully: "Since the six of them moved in, the one who made the wedding dress Sang Meng Ge went to the daughter's building to tailor the clothes for the young lady, and Aunt Yangzi was busy tinkering with her rouge and hair oil, and playing jewelry Liu Weihuang rubbed a lot of gold and silver, only the British devils were running around, and they didn't let go of my flowers, and they also took pictures and messed around, and also took pictures of Master Cheng's concubine, I think he and the two thieves and rat-eyed apprentices are murderers!" ”

"Lieber, don't talk nonsense, Roberts and his two apprentices are this Captain Lee······ Subordinates in the family. Chang Shikuan couldn't think of what language to express clearly, so his eyes made Li Laohan say a few words.

Sun Laohan was chattering, bird feces fell from the sky, almost fell on his shoulder, he was so angry that he stomped his feet, and shouted: "Xiaobing, what are you anxious about, I will give you food, and if you dare to make trouble, I will stab your nest, a little back!" ”

Li Guolou looked up and saw a few crows flying up and down around a sunflower-sized nest on the top of the old locust tree, "Quack." "Screaming, it seems that Li Laohan usually wants to feed them at this time, but today I forgot about it, and the crow showed Li Laohan the color.

Chang Shikuan brought out the six "murder suspects", but found that Li Guolou was still looking up at the sky, and shouted several times before Li Guolou came back to his senses.

Li Guolou raised his eyes and looked at it, only to see Roberts Torres wearing a black trench coat, a black top hat buttoned crookedly on his head, and a pipe in his mouth, it was Yelia who gave him a gift, with the demeanor of a photographic artist, and the two apprentices next to him, Jiang Cong and Zhou Xiaohuan, saw him and smiled happily.

"Hello, Lady Yelia." Roberts took off his hat and bowed, politely greeted Yelia first, who can see that he is a British hooligan in his bones, he looks like a full British gentleman, now he is a celebrity in Beijing, he is the only one who has entered the Forbidden City photography master in the Qing Empire, Roberts is a high-value photography master in Beijing, the old appearance has changed, and the appearance of a superior person makes people can't help but admire.

Li Guolou turned to look at the makeup artist Yangzi, and sure enough, he focused a pair of eyes on Roberts, fortunately, now Roberts has high vision, and he ignored Yangzi's flying eyes, Li Guolou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, otherwise this case made him see a tragedy again, so how dare he arrest again, and secretly swore that there would be a young widow case in the future, and he would not take it again.

Yangzi is in her early forties, with a round face, looking as pink as an eggshell, her figure is not out of shape, and there are some looks, her chubby face is full of smiles, she seems to have never cried, a pair of watery eyes blink non-stop, what is remarkable is that she is wearing fancy and bells and whistles on her upper body, but on her feet is a pair of round-toed black leather shoes, not in the ocean, white face, cheeks are still flushed, and if you look closely, she is coated with rouge.

Yangzi is superbly skilled, well-dressed Jingshi, she is the top brand in the mother's makeup artist, and among the several big men, she belongs to the green leaves, a little red, dazzling and unforgettable, Yangzi's eyes are full of jealousy, and she is annoyed that Yelia took away her target Roberts's heart.

Li Guolou has long heard of making wedding clothes Sang Mengge, and heard that he can cut decent clothes at a glance, and he is a first-class costume master.

Playing jewelry Liu Weihuang is a big man, in his thirties, who can see that the thick fingers make exquisite gold and silver jewelry, and he is in a class of his own, specializing in customizing all kinds of strange things for the rich and noble.

From Cheng Kunyu's employment of these people, I know how high the specifications of this wedding are, but unfortunately the wedding has become a funeral.
