Chapter 213: Are You a Murderer?
Kang Xu saw that he had already guessed his identity, so there was no need to hide it any longer, so he showed his official seal and said, "Since you have guessed my identity, you should know the purpose of my trip, right?" ”
Lu Jitong said indifferently: "Adults don't think I'm a murderer, right?" ”
Kang Xu stared at him and said seriously: "Then are you a murderer?" ”
"I said no, would you believe it?" Lu Jitong turned the wine glass in his hand, looked at him and said.
Kang Xu's brows suddenly furrowed.
"I'm not afraid to tell you that, judging from the clues I have, you are indeed very suspicious. However, looking it up here made me doubt my previous inference. ”
Lu Jitong smiled and said, "If the adults think that Zai Xia is the murderer, as long as they show evidence, Zai Xia will definitely be arrested." ”
Kang Xu stared at him intently, trying to find a flaw in Lu Jitong, but Lu Jitong looked calm, and he was not timid when he looked at Kang Xu.
"This person has an ordinary look, if he is not a scheming person, there is only one possibility, he is not a murderer, and he will be so calm." Kang Xu thought to himself in his heart.
"Since you know Zhang Hebi, do you know about Zhang Hebi's elopement with Tao Zhaoxue?"
Lu Jitong nodded and said, "Brother Zhang once told me, but at that time, I thought Brother Zhang was joking, so I didn't take it seriously. ”
"So, how much do you know about this?" Kang Xu groaned.
"Yes, Brother Zhang did tell me that he was going to elope with Miss Tao. But that's what he said when he was drunk, how could he take it seriously? Lu Jitong said lightly.
Kang Xu smiled. Said seriously: "Do you know why Tao Zhaoxue died?" ”
"This ...... Ignorance. Lu Jitong frowned, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Said: "Shouldn't these things be investigated by the yamen?" I'm just a civilian. How could they know the cause of Miss Tao's death? ”
Kang Xu stared at him for a long time, and said: "Tao Zhaoxue agreed with Zhang Hebi on a time and place before he died, according to his personal maid, this is a secret between the two, and outsiders don't know. But after my investigation, I found that the time agreed between Tao Zhaoxue and Zhang Hebi was an hour apart. And this hour is the reason why Tao Zhaoxue was killed. ”
Lu Jitong was a little surprised, and he turned his wine glass. Puzzled, he said, "My lord is saying that there is an hour between the time that Miss Tao gave Brother Zhang?" This doesn't seem to make sense. ”
"Brother Lu is thoughtful, and he found the problem at a glance, admire." Kang Xu looked at him impressed, and after a short pause, he continued: "Regarding the agreed time and place of the elopement between the two, no one else knows except the two of them. Where did the murderer learn about the elopement of the two? ”
Lu Jitong is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart, and he instantly understood what Kang Xu said, but in fact he meant something else.
"Brother Zhang did reveal about their elopement. However, there is no mention of the agreed time and place. Honestly, the two of them were able to fly far away. I rejoice in them, and how can I destroy them? Lu Jitong looked at him deeply. He said in a deep voice: "I still say the same thing, if you have evidence." Though I am caught. ”
"Will you be happy for them?" Kang Xu touched his chin and showed a meaningful sneer: "As far as I know, the Tao family seems to have always wanted to marry their daughter to you, and you will fulfill them?" ”
Lu Jitong was stunned, he was a little stunned, as if he didn't expect Kang Xu to find out about it.
"Yes, this is a discussion between my father and the Tao family. But before that, I didn't know that Miss Tao was already engaged. Besides, I've never met Miss Tao, so how could I like her? ”
Kang Xu's eyes were introverted, staring at Lu Jitong slightly, as if he was pondering whether what he said was true or false.
"I didn't expect you to be so reasonable, this is far from the rumors in the market!" Kang Xu said quietly.
"Rumors in the market are rumors after all, what I, Lu Jitong, have a clear conscience, why are I afraid of rumors?" Lu Jitong's face was indifferent, without any emotional fluctuations, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him.
Kang Xu frowned slightly, Lu Jitong's performance was too indifferent, and he was a little indifferent.
"What a clear conscience." Kang Xu suddenly caught a glimpse of the code that Xiao Wu on the other side had given him, he knew it in his heart, and said lightly: "If Brother Lu really has a clear conscience, you might as well let this official find out, how about it?" ”
"What do you mean, sir?" Lu Jitong suddenly became cautious.
"According to the owner, you have chartered a few vacant rooms in this 'Ziyun Fang', can you let the official check it?" Kang Xu touched his chin and asked lightly.
Lu Jitong's face changed slightly, although he quickly returned to normal, but this momentary change was carefully watched by Kang Xu.
"If you want to check, just check." Lu Jitong looked indifferent, and on the surface, he didn't seem to care about it.
Kang Xu narrowed his eyes, and he smiled slightly: "Brother Lu really has a clear conscience, since this is the case, then I will be offended." ”
clapped his hands loudly, and instantly rushed in from outside the door A group of men, these people were dressed in civilian clothes, but they were actually yamen officials.
Suddenly rushed into a group of fierce and vicious men, which frightened everyone, and they thought that the bandits were robbing, and they all shouted.
"Yamen handles the case, it doesn't matter, leave quickly!" The leader showed his waist card and yelled.
Those rich squires were all thoughtful people, and when they saw more than a dozen officials dressed in civilian clothes, they knew that there was an important case.
Looking at this posture, maybe there are murderers hidden here, how dare they linger for half a minute, and they all run out of the door.
The entire 'Ziyun Fang' was still staggered, and it was very lively, and it became deserted in the blink of an eye.
Those dancing girls and musicians were also shouted by Du Feng'er, and only Kang Xu and a group of officials were left on the scene in an instant, as well as Lu Ji and the master and servant.
Lu Jitong glanced at the disguised servants, and said with a smile: "It seems that the adults have put a lot of effort into arresting me!"
Kang Xu put his hands behind his back, stood up, and said lightly: "I also have to do it as a last resort, after all, this case is different from the past, and the murderer is an extremely cruel person." In order to prevent accidents, I can only offend. ”
Lu Jitong stared at him, he stared at Lu Jitong, and the two looked at each other like this.
Those officials took out their waist knives one after another and stared at Lu Jitong cautiously to prevent him from escaping, and the atmosphere became a little solemn for a while.
Lu Jitong only glanced at it, and knew that the positions of these officials were arranged in advance, and they were cleverly scattered in the lobby, seemingly arbitrary, but in fact, they blocked all the retreats of Lu Jitong. (To be continued.) )
