Chapter 48: An Accidental Discovery
All this was too unexpected for him, and if this jade bead hairpin was really owned by Hongyan, then things would be even more complicated.
It is no accident that one person is involved in two murders.
Li Canghai believes that all accidents in the world have their inevitable reasons, whether it is the emperor Fuwei or the official servant, they all die from the 'Yin and Yang Double Gu'. And Hong Yan is a native of Miao Jiang, and he knows a lot about Gu insects, so I am afraid that all this will definitely not be a coincidence.
Li Canghai remembered Yang Susheng's purse of the 'Melting Fire Gu Worm', which was the object of love given to him by Hong Yan.
It's also a wild goose, and there are the same Gu worms in it, if you want to say that this matter has nothing to do with her, I'm afraid no one will believe it.
Li Canghai suddenly realized that Hong Yan was most likely the murderer of Huangfu Wei, and Yang Su was just a scapegoat.
But what he couldn't figure out was that the official didn't know her, so why did he use Gu worms to harm him?
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and there is no sign of stopping.
Li Canghai walked aimlessly, and unconsciously came to the Cuihong Building.
"Childe, come in, don't stand outside in the rain!"
"Yo, this boy is very handsome! Giggles. ”
……
A series of flirtatious smiles came, and several women who were only dressed in thin veils kept waving their arms at Li Canghai, and they couldn't stop laughing.
"Li Gongzi? How can you get out in the rain? ”
Just as Li Canghai was hesitating whether to go in, Hong Yan appeared at the door at some point, and seeing him in the rain, Hong Yan hurriedly held up an umbrella and took him in.
In the boudoir, Li Canghai put the cloth bag on the table, then walked behind the screen and wrung up his clothes.
Li Canghai twisted his clothes and glanced at Hong Yan with his spare eyes.
Hong Yan was sitting at the table at this time, pouring ginger soup for him, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, her eyes always looked at the cloth bag inadvertently.
Li Canghai's brows furrowed suddenly, but soon he pretended to be unaware and walked out.
"Li Gongzi, drink this bowl of ginger soup to get rid of the cold." Hongyan picked up the bowl, handed it to him, and said softly.
Hong Yan has a hot body, and his body exudes this charming power, which is like a deadly poison for men.
Li Canghai tried not to let himself go to see Hongyan, he took the ginger soup, raised his head and drank it clean.
Wiping his mouth, Li Canghai hugged his fists and smiled: "Thank you, Miss Hongyan." If it weren't for the girl's help, my body would have been blown down by the wind. ”
Hong Yan smiled slightly, with a hint of sadness on his face.
"Li Gongzi, I'm leaving Luoyang tomorrow."
Li Canghai was slightly surprised and asked, "Why did you leave Luoyang?" ”
Hong Yan sighed, she picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, handed it to Li Canghai and said: "Hong Yan is an ominous person, staying here will only bring disaster to more people." ”
Li Canghai was silent, he held the teacup, and after a while, said: "Huangfu Wei and Yang Su are self-inflicted, this matter has nothing to do with the girl, why should the girl be concerned." ”
"Li Gongzi doesn't have to comfort Hong Yan, Hong Yan has made up his mind, and if he says goodbye today, he doesn't know when he will see each other in the future." Hong Yanxiu frowned slightly, looking quite helpless.
Li Canghai sighed, didn't say more, picked up the teacup and drank it all.
"Leaving Luoyang, I don't know where the girl is going?"
"I heard that the scenery outside the Saiwai is not the same as the Central Plains, and Hongyan wants to leave the Central Plains and take a trip to the Saiwai." Hong Yan said with yearning in his eyes.
Li Canghai said something like taking care to him, then sneezed, his eyelids gradually drooped, and after a while, he fell asleep on the table.
Seeing that he was asleep, Hongyan screamed softly a few times and began to help him pack the cloth bag.
I slept until dusk, when the rain outside gradually stopped, and Li Canghai rubbed his eyes and got up to say goodbye.
Out of the Cuihong Mansion, Li Canghai's hazy sleepy eyes suddenly flashed with a touch of fine light, looked back at the Cuihong Mansion, and went straight to the post house.
In the post house, Kang Xu was already waiting for him in the room.
Seeing Li Canghai coming, Kang Xu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Young Master, I have investigated everything you asked me to investigate. ”
Li Canghai looked at him in surprise, as if he didn't expect him to investigate so quickly, so he asked him to explain the situation of the investigation.
"I asked Li Er, and Li Er said that before killing the gopher gatekeeper, the deceased was sleeping soundly. Something is rather strange, though. Kang Xu roughly explained the inquiry and said.
"What's the matter?"
Kang Xu frowned and said, "Li Er once said that it was the first time he killed someone, and because he was nervous, he once kicked a stool. But, strangely, the deceased was not awakened. ”
"This matter is indeed a little strange, Ah Xu, what do you think?" Li Canghai was keenly aware of the key to this matter, but he didn't say it explicitly, but asked Kang Xu.
Kang Xu pondered for a moment and said: "Gopher Gate is the best at theft, their vigilance must be very high, not to mention that it was late at night, and there was such a big movement, it was impossible for him not to notice it." ”
Li Canghai gave him a thumbs up approvingly, nodded and said, "You are right, the gopher gate people did not react at the time, and it only means one thing, that is, before Li Er made a move, he was already a dead man." Because, only the dead will not react. ”
Kang Xu opened his mouth and said in surprise: "This ...... Unlikely! ”
Li Canghai narrowed his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "Ah Xu, everything in this world is possible. Go on, have you found out where the gopher gate went before his life? ”
Kang Xu looked at him in surprise, and always felt that his young master seemed to have changed as a person, and he no longer hesitated as before when he acted, and his speech became unfathomable.
"The gopher gate worked in the Di family every day before his death, and rarely went out. However, Li Er said that he once brought back a jar of good wine from outside, and originally wanted to drink a few glasses with Li Er, but Li Er had murderous intentions at that time and did not drink it. ”
"Wine? Have you found out where you bought the wine? Li Canghai's heart moved, and he faintly felt as if he had caught something.
Kang Xu touched his chin and recalled: "Li Er only knew what it looked like, but he didn't care about the specifics. ”
"Jixiang Building! It must be Jixiang Building. Li Canghai suddenly felt in his heart that there was absolutely no second winery in Luoyang that could be called a 'fragrant building'.
"It's such a coincidence, the two deceased have both been to Jixianglou and have drunk Jixianglou's wine, is all this just a coincidence?" Li Canghai muttered to himself.
Jixianglou hoarded countless wines, and there were not 100 jars of wine sold every day, but 80 jars. If it was really a problem with the drinks, why did only the officials and the gopher gate have an accident, while the others were unharmed?
What's more, he had checked the drinks in Jixianglou, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Seeing that Li Canghai was deep in thought, Kang Xu scratched his earlobe, and couldn't help asking, "Young Master, what did you find out about the jade bead hairpin?" ”
Li Canghai was pulled back from his contemplation by Kang Xu, and he nodded and said, "I have found out about the jade pearl hairpin, but now there are some mysteries that need to be solved. ”
After a pause, Li Canghai said deeply: "It seems that it's time to meet Yang Su." ”
