Chapter 35: A Succession of Murders

At this moment, the attic above the second floor suddenly opened, and a woman dressed in purple and blue clothes appeared in the attic.

"Miss Xue is out!"

I don't know who shouted, and the crowd suddenly became agitated.

Li Canghai looked up, the woman was veiled, and she couldn't see her appearance, but judging from her figure, she was definitely a beauty.

He only glanced at it and turned his gaze away, this time he came to investigate the murder of Niu Fugui, because of the seat, it had been delayed for a long time.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's eyes were on the woman, Li Canghai got up and left his seat and asked a guy.

That guy didn't have an impression of Niu Fugui, and he didn't think of a reason after thinking about it for a long time.

At this time, an extremely gentle voice suddenly came from the restaurant: "Jixianglou has always only entertained literati and scholars, and never entertained treacherous people. ”

The sound was like a spring breeze, like the sound of heaven, and people were numb when they heard it.

Yang Su was stunned, and just as he was about to defend himself, he saw two guys coming and putting him out.

When passing by Li Canghai's side, Yang Su whispered fiercely: "You wait for me, my son will never let you go!" ”

Li Canghai shook his head, for this kind of person, he didn't know how much he had seen in his previous life, how could he care about his words of intimidation.

"Shopkeeper He, two hours ago, a servant came to buy wine?" Li Canghai didn't bother to pay attention to this 'Sai Shi' at all, he took advantage of He Xiao's leisure time and walked up to him and asked.

He Xiao thought about it for a moment and said, "Yes, there are indeed officials who came to buy wine, and I personally received them." ”

Li Canghai's eyes lit up, and then he asked, "Was the official drunk when he came?" ”

"The servant was a little drunk, but he looked as usual, and showed no signs of drunkenness." He Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked strangely, "Why did Gongzi Li ask these things?" ”

Li Canghai's brows furrowed, and he muttered: "After that official returned from Jixiang Building, he died inexplicably. ”

"What?" He Xiao was taken aback, and he hurriedly asked, "How is this possible?" How did he die? ”

Li Canghai stared at him and said in a deep voice: "According to the examination, he died of poisoning from alcohol." ”

He Xiao's whole person almost jumped up, his face changed greatly, and he instantly understood what Li Canghai meant.

The official returned from Jixianglou to sell wine, and then he was poisoned by alcohol and died, and the government would naturally suspect that there was a problem with Jixianglou's wine.

"So, Gongzi Li, you are from the official mansion?" He Xiao asked with a solemn face.

Li Canghai nodded: "I am ordered by Luoyang Mansion Yin to investigate this case, and I hope that Shopkeeper He will fully cooperate." "

"It's natural, but, my lord, there's absolutely no problem with the drinks in the shop, and I can guarantee my life for this!" He Xiao shouted anxiously, the stakes are very high, and if this matter spreads, the reputation of Jixianglou will be greatly affected.

Li Canghai sighed and asked him to be quiet, so as not to alarm others.

"Shopkeeper He, do you remember where the wine sold to the servants came from?"

He Xiao hurriedly covered his mouth and recalled slightly: "My lord, please come with me." ”

With that, He Xiao took Li Canghai and walked to the back hall.

Li Canghai casually threw the paper on a wine jar and followed closely.

The back hall is a spacious courtyard with countless wine jars piled up in the courtyard.

He Xiao took Li Canghai to a corner, pointed to a few large vats and said, "The wine sold to the officials is from here." ”

Li Canghai asked He Xiao to open the mouth of the cylinder, slapped a spoonful with a wine spoon and tasted a few bites, but did not feel any discomfort.

"My lord, there is no problem with the drinks in the shop, right?" He Xiao asked nervously.

Li Canghai put down the wine spoon, his brows furrowed, and just as he was about to speak, a burst of exclamations suddenly sounded in the front hall.

A guy ran over in a panic, shouting as he ran, "Shopkeeper, it's not good! Out, out of the dead! ”

Li Canghai's feet slipped and almost fell off the wine vat.

When Li Canghai and the others ran into Jixiang Building, it was chaotic, and there were cries of terror everywhere.

Those young talents who are usually polite and polite turned blue one by one, and some even peed out in fright.

Li Canghai looked at the chaotic crowd, he frowned, and shouted loudly: "Everyone be quiet! Stand still and don't move anyone! ”

Li Canghai's body was not weak, and his voice roared out, and it really worked, and those Confucian students quieted down one after another.

Li Canghai asked everyone to move closer to each side, and then squeezed through the crowd, and in the empty soft couch in the middle, he saw a corpse with limbs twisted in reverse.

He suddenly chuckled in his heart, and the whole person stood in place as if he had been struck by lightning.

Swallowing his saliva vigorously, Li Canghai beckoned He Xiao to form a circle with a strip of cloth and got into it himself.

Li Canghai swore that he had never felt so frightened, even in the 'Netherworld', he had never been so panicked.

Because, the posture of the deceased is as weird as that of the officials, and the same is similar to the stone statue of the Senluo Palace!

Three corpses in a row, all in the same posture as the stone statue, not only made him suspect that his judgment had been wrong. Could it be that there are really ghosts in this world?

The fear of not seeing is often more frightening than the fear of being able to see, and it's like walking down the road at night and feeling like someone is blowing in your ear, but when you look back, there's nothing out of the ordinary.

Taking a deep breath and trying not to let himself think about those weird things, Li Canghai walked over to the corpse and checked it.

He knew the deceased, the same person he asked when he speculated about Yang Su's mind before.

From the time he followed He Xiao to the back hall to the present, in just a moment of incense, this person has changed from a living person to a dead person.

Li Canghai touched the corpse, the corpse was cold and stiff, without the slightest temperature, very similar to the death of the servant.

The corpse's limbs were twisted, and a head seemed to be sunk into the neck, which made people shudder.

"My lord, this ...... What's going on here? He Xiao looked at the strange corpse, how ugly and ugly his face was.

There is a murder case, how can Jixianglou's business still be done? What's more, the one who died was still an official eunuch, and He Xiao's face was wrinkled, and he almost cried.

Li Canghai half-squatted in front of the corpse, he pierced the throat of the deceased with a silver needle, frowned and said: "There are no injuries on the surface of the corpse, and the silver needles have not turned black, neither were injured by people, nor were they poisoned to death." ”

He Xiao was stunned, and he didn't react after a while, he wasn't injured by someone, nor was he poisoned to death, how did he die? Could it be that the soul has been hooked by a ghost?

"Go and inform Lord Fu Yin and ask him to send a servant to come." Li Canghai stood up, slowly glanced at the people present and said: "I am the master of Luoyang Mansion, this time there was a murder case, all the sons are the people present, and I hope that you sons will not leave this place until they find out." ”
