Chapter 39 Screening
Zhao Yuanwai looked at Lu Sheng in horror, if it wasn't the ghosts and gods, then what Lu Sheng said could only be the most reasonable explanation. Zhao Yuanwai shook his head and shook his head silently.
"No, the third lady was still talking to Zhao Si and them before she disappeared, and the two were even talking. A ...... alone How is it possible?"
"That's what I call ventriloquism, ventriloquism isn't speaking with your mouth, so even if you look at the other person, you think it's coming from somewhere else. Moreover, he is skilled in ventriloquist and can imitate the sounds of all things in heaven and earth, and it is not difficult for a mere third lady's voice.
That day, we found Zhao Si's body, and there were already corpse spots on the body. Originally, I thought that Zhao Si's death time was around dusk, but now it seems that it should be even earlier.
If it was in the middle of the night, as everyone guessed, such a short time would not be enough for corpse spots to appear. After he successfully arranged Zhao Si's corpse, he quietly set his eyes on the next target, Steward Zhao Fu.
After killing Zhao Fu's housekeeper, the murderer hid the body in Miku, and then appeared with a swagger.
The reason why we want to kill Chunhua tonight is to make Zhao Fu the real murderer, so that everyone thinks that Zhao Fu has escaped and makes us relax our vigilance. The second purpose is to ...... Test me. β
"What are they going to test your lord?" asked the second lady, looking nervously around.
"Yesterday the murderer didn't die, and I won half a move, so he has to kill someone tonight to get back on the field. Hmph, although I killed a spring flower, I already know the move he used. β
"What do you mean, my lord...... The murderer has become a different person?"
"That's right! Zhao Yuanwai, when you go back, call everyone in your family, even if it's one who is burning the fire in the kitchen. β
"Yes, yes!"
The group returned to the Zhao Mansion again, and the people were trembling and gathering together to discuss. Everyone's face was full of horror, and no one knew if they would be the next to die.
Zhao Yuanwai ordered all his subordinates to gather, about thirty people, standing in front of Lu Sheng's eyes.
"It's all here?" Lu Sheng asked Zhao Yuanwai.
"It's all here, that's it. β
Lu Sheng nodded and stepped forward slowly, "Everyone, the murderer is a murderous demon who is proficient in disguise and has extremely vicious methods. As long as he doesn't get caught, it's a nightmare for you.
And now, I already know that the murderer is hiding among you, maybe you, maybe you, maybe ...... Therefore, the official decided to take all of you back to the government office, and then let you back after verifying your identity one by one. β
"Huh, my lord, I'm not a murdererβ"
"My lord, I have wrongedβ"
"Don't call, I didn't say that you are the murderer, the reason why you put it in the government to verify your identity is to prevent the murderer from escaping again. Everyone lined up and followed Lu Jian. Sun You, Lu Jian, all brought back. β
After Lu Sheng finished speaking, a group of subordinates followed Lu Jian to the gate of the other courtyard with their heads down and trembling.
"It's not...... My lord...... That's all you guys...... Leaving like this?" Seeing that Lu Sheng was leaving, Zhao Yuanwai suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly grabbed Lu Sheng's hand.
Lu Sheng turned his head in surprise, gently broke away from Zhao Yuanwai's hand and said comfortingly, "The murderer must be among these subordinates, as long as I escort them back, your family's crisis will be solved." β
"My lord, how can you see it......?
"Since the day before yesterday, Zhao Yuanwai, his wife and Miss have been closely guarded, so the murderer must have no chance to poison him, so he can only find someone to take action.
And now, we know in advance that the murderer's plan has no time to prepare, so the murderer can only hide among these subordinates. β
Looking at the frightened eyes of Zhao Yuanwai's family, Lu Sheng finally relented, "That's it, Sun You, you take two people to stay in the Zhao family." When we find the murderer, you can withdraw it. β
"Yes!"
Although only Sun You was in charge, it was better than nothing, and Zhao Yuanwai still invited Sun You into the house with a grateful face.
Although I haven't slept all night, I guess no one can sleep anymore at the moment. Originally, there was no prison in the Criminal Division, but under Lu Sheng's vigorous reconstruction, more than a dozen cells were built under the Criminal Division.
It's not much, but it's enough to temporarily detain criminals.
Because it was a newly built cell, there was no unpleasant smell, so Lu Sheng brought his subordinates into the cell and arranged for two guards to take care of them.
Originally, people thought that Lu Sheng was going to start screening immediately, but they didn't expect Lu Sheng to leave directly after putting them in the dungeon.
"My lord, you have been wrongedβ"
"My lord, didn't you say that it was just to identify the real murderer......s?
"Don't make any noise, don't you want to rest at such a late hour? Don't worry, these cells are newly built. You will deal with it right here, and when you have grown your spirits, you will naturally be able to distinguish between good and evil. β
Lu Li followed Lu Sheng to open the dungeon, rubbing his eyes and snorting. Lu Liqi was on the night shift last night, and today he didn't sleep well during the day, he could have had a good night's sleep, but he didn't want to come out to be a demon just after he fell asleep.
Lu Li was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes for a long time, and when he got out of the door of the dungeon, Lu Li rubbed his eyes with tears in his eyes, "It's better to mention the Criminal Division, brother, what about Sister Spider? I don't remember that you left her in the Zhao family?"
"Well, Sun You was a little uneasy to guard me alone, so I let the spider stare in secret. β
Lu Sheng replied casually, which made Lu Jian's face change slightly. The night was like ink, the silver moon was in the sky, and a black shadow suddenly crossed the sky like a streamer.
Zhao family, backyard!
Sun You and Zhao Yuanwai sat in the flower bed and chatted. Such a big thing happened tonight, and Zhao Yuanwai couldn't sleep. The sky is almost dawn, and Zhao Yuanwai's only hope is to find the real culprit as soon as possible and let this matter pass as soon as possible.
Sun You is a person who can't be idle, at least his mouth can't be idle. was pulled by Zhao Yuanwai, Sun You told Zhao Yuanwai about what he had seen and heard about following Lu Sheng to handle the case since he joined the Criminal Division.
"Zhao Yuanwai, last month, you know the Li family's case, right?"
"A little heard, a little heard. When the Li family had an accident, the old man and his two sons were in ZJ, and when they came back, they heard that they really pinched a cold sweat for the Li family. β
"Yes, Li Xiang is the only son of the Li family, what was the situation at the beginning? If someone else is going to come, this Li Xiang will definitely be inevitably stabbed after the autumn.
But after the adults took over the case, it only took seven days. No more, no less, only seven days, the case with ironclad evidence was stunned by the adults to find out the real culprit.
Therefore, don't worry if your case falls into the hands of adults, as long as it falls into the hands of adults, the murderer will not want to jump. There are too many little thieves planted in the hands of adults these days to count, and now the people on the road tremble when they hear the three words of the Criminal Division. You can rest assured. β
"I know Lord Lu's prestige, but the murderer was not caught for a day, and the old man's heart was hanging like this. Hey, I really don't know what kind of evil has been done, why does that murderer have to trouble the old man?"
"Didn't you say it yourself, your family has more than 70 rice shops and more than 100 cloth villages, can the name of Zhao Chengnan not attract covetousness?"
"But why do you have to pretend to be a ghost like this? If you ask for money, he can ask for it, and ask for ten thousand taels of silver, and I am not ambiguous, but I have killed many lives. Especially my third lady, after waking up, she was completely crazy, and she knew how to cry and laugh. β
"That can only be said that the guy has a huge appetite, and he can't get away with ten thousand taels of silver. By the way, what are your ladies and young ladies busy with?" Sun You asked curiously, running around with the two men he left behind, who were sent by the two women, with a lascivious smile on his face that Sun You was very familiar with.
"This ......" Zhao Yuanwai's old face flushed slightly, "In the past few days, we have slept in clothes, and Mrs. and Miss have felt unwell, so ......"
Sun You had a knowing smile on his face, but there was a bit of banter on his face.
I couldn't help muttering in my heart, saying that everyone was as beautiful as a flower, and the rich lady was graceful and charming. But Sun You was extremely disdainful in his heart.
After a few days of not taking a shower, they feel uncomfortable, they can't pick their shoulders, and they can't lift their hands to what they want them to do?
In Sun You's opinion, women, what's the use of being beautiful, what can't work in the field is waste. The best woman should be a spider, right? But it's a pity that a woman as good as a spider can only be worthy of a character like an adult, right?
Sun You's heart swelled up with a hint of loss.
Before leaving, the adult confessed that the murderer may not necessarily be among these subordinates, or it may be hiding in a corner of the Zhao family so that he must not let his guard down. It is also said that Sun You is in the light, and the spider is in the dark.
But Sun You used light skills to find all over the Zhao Mansion before, but he didn't see the spider.
"Master Sun...... Lord Sun?" Zhao Yuanwai's call changed Sun You back to his god.
"What? Zhao Yuanwai, I didn't hear what you said just now. β
"I'm asking, Lord Lu is so young and promising, has he already become a high-ranking official and dignitary?"
"This ...... I haven't heard of it. By chance, I heard Sister Ahri say that when I was in the capital, there was a case of catching a son-in-law under the list, but I was beaten away by Sister Ahri at that time.
Otherwise, the adults would not have been sent back to their hometowns, and many of the new scholars on the B list stayed in the capital as officials. Thirty-three on the adult list, why shouldn't it be released.
Fortunately, the emperor has a conscience, even if he releases the adults, he does not put them in some poor countryside, but in the hometown of Suzhou. β
"That's ......" Zhao Yuanwai's eyes flashed, and he stroked his beard gently, "Lord Lu's name, no one in Suzhou Mansion knows." Back then, the talented people of Yangzhou came to Suzhou to challenge the four talents of Suzhou, and Lord Lu alone let them go back in disgrace. The events of that year are still relishable when I think about them today. β
"Why haven't I heard of this?" Sun You's gossip attribute was instantly activated.
"That was three years ago, when Bai Shaoyu was the first talent in Suzhou, and the name of the four talents came out of Bai Shaoyu's mouth. Mo Yan's paintings, Du Shaofeng's piano, and Lu Sheng's eyes are unforgettable.
At that time, Yangzhou's top ten talents all the way from Yangzhou to Suzhou, Jinling Mansion, and Shanghai Mansion have been defeated, if Suzhou is defeated, then the name of Jiangnan genius is afraid that he will belong to Yangzhou City for thousands of years.
As a result, they didn't look for Bai Shaoyu or Mo Yan, but they were the first to find Lord Lu. Lord Lu took the sum of ten people in one enemy and ten people in one stick of incense, and he was so frightened that the talented man of Yangzhou fled from Suzhou on the same day. Hahaha...... What a joy!
In that competition, Xiaonu was also one of the witnesses, and after she came back, she admired Lord Lu a lot. But it's a pity that Lord Lu doesn't like to participate in the gathering of talents, and the little girl went there many times but returned in a huff. β
