There were a few words vaguely written on the wooden plaque, and Li Canghai stared at it, and his eyes were full of tears, only to recognize that what was written on it was: ...... The Spiritual Position.

The most critical place is a blank, Li Canghai is puzzled, since it is an enshrinement of the spiritual seat, why is it not written on it? And it's not an unsightly thing, why is it done so secretly?

The cook sets up the spiritual seat, then carefully places the dishes in front of the spiritual table, and bows down to the spiritual seat.

"Ahem~".

Li Canghai deliberately let out a cough, and the cook's body suddenly trembled involuntarily, as if he didn't expect someone behind him, he hurriedly turned to look at Li Canghai, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes.

"You came here secretly, is there something unseemly?" Li Canghai walked over with his hands behind his back, and said in a cold voice.

The cook's face was a little ugly, he cautiously took a few steps back, stood close to the rockery, and stared at Li Canghai timidly.

"Don't be afraid, Brother Cook, I just want to ask you something." Seeing that the cook was a little frightened, he suddenly couldn't bear it, and showed him a bright smile.

"Uh... Uh, uh. ”

The cook looked at him cautiously, and after a moment it opened his mouth and made a low, hoarse voice.

"Huh? Are you mute? Li Canghai was surprised.

The cook nodded, and moved a little timidly, blocking the spirit card.

Li Canghai saw that he was very concerned about the spirit card behind him, so he said: "Don't worry, I just want to ask you about something." ”

The cook looked at him suspiciously, hesitated slightly, and nodded.

"How long have you been a cook in the Wang family?" Li Canghai asked.

The cook stretched out three fingers and gestured.

"Three years?" Li Canghai understood his gesture and nodded, "Since you have been a cook here for three years, have you ever seen a woman?" The woman, who was about twenty years old, came to Wang's house two years ago. ”

When the cook heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he stared at Li Canghai tightly, with a trace of anger in his eyes.

Li Canghai keenly captured the cook's emotional changes, his heart moved, and he said deeply: "Today, I found a corpse in the back garden of the Wang family, and after an investigation, I learned that the skeleton is very likely to be that woman, and that woman is the sister of a friend of mine.

That's why I want to find out the truth. If you have actually seen her, please tell me. I thank you for the poor brother who has lost his dearest flesh and blood. ”

As he spoke, Li Canghai gave the cook a deep look.

The cook was stunned, hesitated for a moment, seemed to have made up his mind, and gestured with his hand.

"You were the one who found the bones today?"

Li Canghai understood what he meant, nodded and said, "I believe you must know that woman, don't you?" ”

The look of vigilance on the cook's face subsided, and after a moment of silence, he turned to the side, pointed to the spirit card, and said, "This spirit card is for her, she is a good person." ”

Next, the cook compared what he knew to him.

Li Canghai also learned something from his sign language.

This cook is a mute, although he cooks good food, but his status is low, and he is often bullied. Two years ago, Wang Buquan snatched a girl from nowhere and wanted to take her as a concubine, but the girl refused to obey, and Wang Buquan imprisoned her in a fit of rage.

Because the cook was mute, Wang Buquan asked him to deliver food to the girl every day, and this back and forth made them acquainted.

The girl is kind-hearted and treats the cook as a friend, something that the mute cook never dreamed of.

The cook tried to let her go several times, but the girl was worried that the cook would be implicated because of this, so she gave up the chance to escape several times.

But just two months ago, the girl asked him to get her a dagger, and then, when he went to deliver the food, the girl was no longer in the secret room.

Originally, he thought that the girl had escaped, but later he found the bloodstains in the secret room, and knew in his heart that the girl was likely to have been killed, but he secretly searched for a long time, but did not find the body, until Li Canghai found the bones in the back garden today, he did not really confirm the murder of the girl.

In order to pay tribute to her, the cook made a spirit card, but he was afraid of being discovered by others, so he did not write his name and secretly came to a secluded place to pay respects.

Li Canghai pondered, this mute cook is also a person with affection and righteousness, and from what he said, it seems that Wang Buquan did imprison Chang Feng's sister, and it is very likely that he is the murderer.

However, to find out the real reason, you need to go to the secret room where Chang Feng's sister is imprisoned to find more evidence.

After pondering for a while, Li Canghai stared at the cook and said solemnly: "Do you want to find out the murderer, and the girl Chang is fair?" ”

A gleam flashed in the dumb cook's eyes, and he nodded without hesitation.

Li Canghai walked to the stone, dipped the wine and wrote a few words on the stone, and the mute cook looked at those words, and his face instantly became solemn. However, he didn't linger, packed up the tray, hid the spirit card on his body, and then walked out of the rockery.

Looking at the back of the chef leaving, Li Canghai narrowed his eyes and left the rockery closely.

The breeze blew, blowing the vines on the rockery, and the handwriting on the stone gradually faded, and the words 'fake death and life' were faintly visible.

When Li Canghai returned to the living room, Wang Buquan was waiting for him with a frown.

"Brother Li, where did you go? Have you found any new clues? As soon as he stepped on the threshold, Wang Buquan hurriedly asked.

"County lieutenant, I'm afraid Li is going to disappoint you this time." Li Canghai said with a wry smile.

"Brother Li, what do you mean by this?" Wang Buquan asked in surprise.

Li Canghai shook his head in distress and sighed: "I have investigated all day, except for confirming that the bones are the woman who was poisoned, nothing else has been found. The bones have no characteristics, and they don't even know who she is, the people in the house are complete, and there are no missing people for no reason, this corpse appears too strangely, I wonder if the county lieutenant offended someone, someone wanted to frame you, so he buried the body in the garden? ”

Wang Buquan's eyes lit up, he slapped the table suddenly, and said, "What Brother Li said is reasonable, what a word to wake up a dreamer!" There is a profiteer surnamed Lu in the east of the city, and he has always been against me, and this must have been done on purpose by him to blame me. Hmph, good for your surname Lu, if you dare to blame me for the crime of murder, I will let you walk around without eating! ”

Wang Buquan said that he was righteous and awe-inspiring, as if it was really like that, but Li Canghai knew him well. From the greedy glint in his eyes, it could be seen that he was just trying to find an excuse to get rid of his opponent.

Li Canghai didn't say anything, so he said in embarrassment: "But we don't have evidence to prove that this matter is framed by the surname Lu." ”
