Chapter 145: The Strange Cook

The scratch is in the heart of the right chest, and from the perspective of the depth of the scratch, it seems to be a scratch brought by a sharp weapon such as a dagger.

Li Canghai breathed a long sigh of relief, it seems that this is the real cause of death.

Although the cause of death is known, it is not easy to find out the murderer.

After all, more than two months have passed since the death of the deceased, and for such a long time, all the evidence has been almost destroyed.

Although he also believed that there was a high probability that Wang Buquan had done it, he still could not draw conclusions without evidence.

However, the bones were found in the backyard of Wang's family, and Wang was not all involved.

But the only way to do this is to go to the Wang's house and investigate in secret.

Pacing back and forth for a few steps, Li Canghai pondered.

The discovery of this corpse is also an opportunity for him, if this matter is really Wang Buquan's doing, it will give him the handle of Wang Buquan.

However, to deal with a local snake like Wang Buquan, this opportunity alone is far from enough.

He needs to find more evidence of Wang Buquan's crimes, so that he can't turn over completely.

In order not to waste time, Li Canghai decided to divide the troops into three routes and carry out them at the same time.

Xiao Wu went to examine the body of the Zuo family servant who died suddenly, and Chang Feng went to investigate Zuo Hongji's capture by bandits two years ago, while he returned to the Wang family and secretly investigated.

Returning to Wang's house again, Wang Buquan was anxiously pacing back and forth in the main hall.

Seeing Li Canghai coming back, he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Brother Li, how is it, how is the autopsy?" ”

Li Canghai sighed, his face wrinkled, and said apologetically: "The corpse is too badly corroded, and I really can't do anything." ”

Wang Buquan's eyes suddenly released a strange brilliance, and he quickly regained his composure, and he said in a deep voice: "How is this good, if you can't find the identity of the deceased, how can you find the murderer?" Brother Li, you must help me, as a county lieutenant, there was a murder case in my family, and this matter has been spread in Zhengyang City, you must give me justice! ”

"Don't worry, the county lieutenant, I will try my best to find clues to prove that the county lieutenant has nothing to do with this case." Li Canghai nodded, and then asked, "County Lieutenant, how is the disaster relief going?" ”

"Brother Zuo is in charge of this matter, and everything is under control." Wang Buquan said a little absent-mindedly.

"County Lieutenant Wang, you seem to have something on your mind?" Li Canghai asked quietly.

Wang Buquan sighed, reacted, rubbed his temples, and sighed: "I've had a headache and I've been sick again, I'll go back to the room to rest first, Brother Li can take care of yourself." ”

After speaking, Wang Buquan shook his head and left the main hall.

Li Canghai's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a little contemplation, he walked to the backyard.

Those maids knew that he was a distinguished guest of Wang Buquan, and they were very respectful to him, and they did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Li Canghai walked aimlessly in the courtyard, but his eyes were not idle for a moment, and he remembered the layout of the palace in his heart.

Li Canghai didn't ask anyone about Chang Feng's sister, the Wang family had many eyes and ears, and he could only do it in secret. But there are many houses in the Wang family, and where to start has become a problem.

Looking up at the sky, the hour was close to evening, and the smoke curled in the kitchen of the Wang family, Li Canghai's heart moved, and he immediately had a direction.

One can stay at home, but it is impossible not to eat. Sister Chang Feng appeared in the Wang family two years ago, if she was really Wang Buquan's concubine, she suddenly disappeared, and the people of the Wang family could not be unaware.

He had questioned everyone in the Wang family before, and at that time, all Wang Buquan's wives and concubines had arrived, and no one had ever mentioned Chang Feng's sister, and from the whispering discussions between the domestic servants, he also learned that Wang Buquan had not married a concubine in the past two years.

Then the mystery also followed, everyone in the Wang family seemed to know nothing about Sister Chang Feng, and Sister Chang Feng's bones were buried in the backyard garden of the Wang family.

There are only two explanations for this situation, either it is the people of the Wang family, except for Wang Buquan, everyone else really doesn't know that Sister Chang Feng is in the Wang family. Either that, the entire royal family is lying, and they know but dare not say it clearly.

However, judging from the reaction of the servants, it seems that they are not lying, otherwise, if the bones are found in the backyard, they should be aware of it, and the first thing they think of is the missing sister Chang Feng.

In this way, there is one remaining possibility that Sister Chang Feng is indeed in the Wang family, but it is very likely that she was imprisoned, which explains why everyone knows nothing about Sister Chang Feng.

He walked around the courtyard of the Wang family twice, and found nothing wrong, most of the houses were occupied by people, and there was no way to hide people.

Wang Buquan's Tibetan place must be very hidden, otherwise, it would be impossible for these two years not to be discovered.

It is obviously impossible to search for it with great fanfare, not to mention that there are many houses in the Wang family, which will only waste time. However, Li Canghai found a shortcut, and that was food.

Judging from the examination of the bones, the time of the deceased's death should have been a few months ago, even if it was counted as half a year, she still had a year and a half to stay in the Wang family. For a year and a half, it was impossible for her not to eat.

After Li Canghai determined the direction of the investigation, he walked to the kitchen.

Wang's kitchen is located in the side yard, there are many vegetables, fruits and meats inside and outside the kitchen, at this time, some people cut vegetables, some people burn the fire, and they are very busy.

Li Canghai walked into the kitchen, the cook was burning a bear's paw, although through the lid of the steamer, he could still ask about the refreshing fragrance.

Li Canghai took a deep breath of the aroma, and the corners of his mouth almost drooled.

He stood in the kitchen and observed for a while, and found that the dishes in the pot were all cooked by one cook, and the others were just doing it.

After a while, the dishes on several stoves came out of the pot at the same time, and each plate was full of color, flavor, and flavor.

"Being able to cook several pots at the same time and still be able to burn so fragrant is really amazing." Li Canghai admired in his heart.

When the dishes were cooked, several family members came over and brought them out. When all the dishes were served, the cook took two plates from the side of the stove, wiped them clean with a rag, and then put the dishes on the table and took them out through the back door.

Li Canghai felt a little strange, all the dishes he made were taken away, except for the delicacies of the mountains and seas eaten by Wang Bu's family, even the dishes eaten by the next people have also been taken away, no one should be hungry, where is this chef going with the dishes?

The cook didn't say a word, he carried the tray and walked through the back corridor to a secluded rockery corner. He placed the tray on the stone, looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one around, he took out a wooden sign from the crack in the stone.
