Chapter 658: Murder in a restaurant

Li Canghai narrowed his eyes and said, "Lord Zhou, you immediately take the two brothers to bring Ma Si!" ”

"The subordinate obeys!" After Zhou Feiyan gave up, he immediately left Dali Temple with the two brothers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Half an hour later, Ba Boer rushed back to Dali Temple with a look on his face.

"My lord, no...... Oh no! That guy named Ma Si is dead! Ba Boer couldn't wipe the sweat from his forehead, and shouted at Li Canghai.

When Li Canghai heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed.

"What's going on?"

"We and the adult surnamed Zhou went to find Ma Si and went to his house, but we didn't see him. His wife said that he went to the Immortal Building to meet a friend, and we ran to the Immortal Mansion again, but when we arrived at the Immortal Building, we found that Ma Si's body was cold and had been dead for a long time. Ba Boer ran out of breath and said.

Li Canghai's face instantly became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Shout and go to the Immortal Tower quickly!" ”

Shenxian Building is located in the prosperous place of the West Market, is a relatively famous restaurant, and the 'Eight Treasures Assorted Sauce Duck' here can be said to be famous far and wide.

When Li Canghai came to the Immortal Tower, there were already a lot of pedestrians watching the excitement outside the Immortal Tower.

The officials of Chang'an Mansion had already come, standing outside the Immortal Building, and it was strictly forbidden for idle people to enter.

When Li Canghai walked into the Immortal Building, he saw a wide and fat official, talking to Zhou Feiyan, but the shopkeeper of the Immortal Mansion had a gloomy face.

Seeing Li Canghai coming, Zhou Feiyan hurriedly saluted him.

When the fat official saw this, he was suddenly a little surprised.

"Lord Han, haven't you seen Lord Li of Dali Temple soon?" Zhou Feiyan saw him standing in place, and hurriedly reminded him.

When the official heard this, he hurriedly saluted Li Canghai: "Yin Hanqu, the lower official of the Chang'an Mansion, has seen Lord Li!" ”

Li Canghai nodded and said, "The two adults don't need to be polite. Lord Zhou, where is the body now? ”

Zhou Feiyan said: "The corpse is now in the corner of the second floor, my lord, please!" ”

As he spoke, Zhou Feiyan led Li Canghai to the second floor.

There are three floors in the fairy building, and there are more than ten tables on each floor, which shows that the business is extremely prosperous.

In the northwest corner of the second floor, there is a table on which a man appears to be asleep.

Li Canghai walked to the corner, squatted down and observed Ma Si's corpse.

Ma Si was lying on the table, his head resting on his right hand, and his left hand hanging down at his side, very similar to a drunken man.

The difference is that there is black blood flowing out of Ma Siqi's orifices, which looks extremely terrifying.

"Black blood is flowing from the seven orifices, it seems that it is highly poisoned."

Li Canghai only glanced at it, and then saw through the cause of Ma Si's death.

"Lord Zhou, who was the first person to discover the deceased?" Li Canghai asked.

"Lord Hui, it's the shopkeeper here." Zhou Feiyan said.

"Where's the shopkeeper?" Li Canghai stood up and asked.

The shopkeeper was an old man in his fifties, who hurriedly walked over when he heard the words.

"The little old man has seen the adult."

"Shopkeeper, can you tell me more about the scene when you found the deceased?" Li Canghai frowned and asked.

The shopkeeper nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes." Here's the thing, this person came to the small shop around Shen Shi, and the shopkeeper asked him what he wanted to eat, and he said that he was here to find someone, so he went up to the second floor alone. About half an hour later, a guest came to settle the bill and said to the little old man that the guest in the corner of the second floor was drunk and told us not to come forward and disturb him. Until around the hour, there were more and more customers in the store, and there were not enough seats, so Xiao Lao'er wanted to wake him up, but he didn't expect it...... When the little old man got closer, he found out that he was bleeding from seven orifices and had been dead for a long time! Xiao Lao'er was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, and just as he was thinking about reporting to the official, he met Master Zhou coming. ”

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, his face turned pale, and his body trembled constantly, as if he had not recovered from the shock.

"Do you remember the face of the man sitting with the deceased?" Li Canghai asked.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "That man is wearing a hood and a wide black cloak, and the little old man didn't see his face." ”

"Are you thinking about it, can you think of some of the man's other characteristics?" Li Canghai frowned.

The shopkeeper looked down and thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Little Lao'er remembered that there seemed to be a string of copper coins hanging from the man's waist. Other than that, Xiao Lao'er didn't think of anything else. ”

"My lord, I have already checked the body." At this time, Zhou Feiyan said respectfully to Li Canghai.

"Lord Hui, my subordinates have found out the cause of death of the deceased. The deceased died of poisoning, which was so poisonous that he saw blood seal his throat, which should be the poison of arrows. However, his subordinates checked the food, and there was no poison in the food, so how did he get poisoned? The subordinates are unknown. He said to Li Canghai a little blankly.

Li Canghai was silent, came to the corpse, and examined it again.

After a while, he picked up a wine glass from the ground not far away, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, Li Canghai said: "There is indeed no poison in the food, and there is no poison in the wine, but it is actually this wine glass that is poisonous." ”

As he spoke, Li Canghai handed the wine glass to the servant.

He took the glass, looked at it carefully, and then took out a silver needle and placed it on the rim of the glass.

Sure enough, the silver needle began to turn black rapidly.

Seeing this, everyone took a breath of cold air at the same time.

Judging from the degree of blackening of the silver needle, this cup is indeed coated with a poison that seals the throat with blood!

Everyone couldn't figure out what kind of deep hatred and hatred could use such poison.

The shopkeeper knelt down in front of Li Canghai and cried loudly: "My lord, this has nothing to do with the shop!" All the kitchenware in the shop has been cleaned! It will never be smeared with poison, so please be aware of it! ”

"The shopkeeper, please, the official does not suspect that you have been poisoned. How can you do such a thing that cut off you from your own way for a living? The one who doubted it was the man in the cloak. Li Canghai said in a deep voice.

"My lord, since that person is wearing a hood, obviously to hide his identity, where do we start?" Zhou Feiyan asked.

Li Canghai paced back and forth a few steps and said, "Who else is in the Ma Si family?" ”

"Lord Hui, I still have a wife." Zhou Feiyan said.

"Did you tell her to come?"

"Xia Guan has already ordered someone to inform her, I think it should be coming soon." Zhou Feiyan said.

A short time later, a plainly dressed woman walked up to the second floor in despair.

"My husband! Why did you leave me and go by yourself! Whining~. ”

When the woman saw Ma Si, she almost fainted, and she lay on the table and began to cry loudly.

Li Canghai sighed, asked Zhou Feiyan to comfort the woman, and walked to the first floor, found a chair and sat down. (To be continued.) )
