Li Canghai keenly caught the few key words that Ning Xiang said, his heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "In this way, you have indeed made up a new shadow puppet show?" Can you tell me a little bit about it? Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Ning Xiang nodded, and then told Li Canghai about the shadow puppet show performed the night before.

After listening, Li Canghai's face became more and more solemn.

No one is more familiar with the story than he is.

Yangzhou came to the town again, the Lin family tragedy, and it was this case that made him accept Lin Xiaomei as a righteous daughter.

The story told by Ning Xiang is roughly similar to what happened.

Especially in the last related story, the villain Zhang Yuan hid in Shengpingfang in Chang'an City, which made Li Canghai sense a strong conspiracy atmosphere.

Li Canghai recalled that on the night of the performance of this story, Lin Xiaomei happened to be with Ning Xiang, that is to say, Lin Xiaomei also saw this story.

Combined with Lin Xiaomei's changes since then, Li Canghai instantly understood.

This story is actually made up specifically for Lin Xiaomei!

Because, only Lin Xiaomei knows what happened in the story, and only Lin Xiaomei can hear its hidden meaning.

The great official did not put the great villain Zhang Yuan to death, but secretly brought him to Chang'an City.

The implication is to tell Lin Xiaomei that Zhang Wenyuan is in Shengpingfang in Chang'an City!

There has always been a blood feud between Lin Xiaomei and Zhang Wenyuan, and after learning where Zhang Wenyuan is, Lin Xiaomei will definitely go to find him.

Li Canghai's thinking became clearer and clearer, and the facts of the case gradually began to surface.

Lin Xiaomei learned of Zhang Wenyuan's residence, and then went to Shengpingfang, and at the same time, He Ya, the head catcher, also came to Shengpingfang to chase the snitch, and was surprised that Xiaomei killed someone.

This pile is one by one, it can be said that it is not leaky!

And the cause of this murder was the scene performed by the shadow puppet troupe.

"Ning Xiang, where did you learn about this story?" Li Canghai asked in a deep voice.

"This was given to us by someone else, and the man gave us ten taels of silver to perform this play in Chang'an City the night before Chinese New Year's Eve." Ning Xiang said.

When Li Canghai heard this, his heart sank suddenly, and he hurriedly asked, "Do you remember the appearance of the person who gave you the story?" ”

"I don't remember exactly, but the man was wearing a hood, and all I could hear was him talking to his father." Ning Xiang recalled.

"Could it be that the man has no other characteristics?" Li Canghai did not give up and continued to ask.

Ning Xiang thought for a while, and suddenly said, "By the way, he was afraid that we wouldn't be able to remember the story, so he wrote down the whole story." ”

Li Canghai's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is the story now?" ”

"In a wooden box for shadow puppetry." Ning Xiang said.

"Ning Xiang, you can rest here, and leave the matter of catching the murderer to me."

Li Canghai asked the housekeeper to take care of Ning Xiang, and then hurried to Chang'an Mansion.

In Chang'an Mansion, Han Qu was talking with Fa Cao, Changshi and other officials.

Seeing Li Canghai coming, several people hurriedly went up to salute.

Li Canghai nodded to a few people and said, "Lord Han, where is the wooden box found in the previous murder now?" ”

"Now in the inner hall." Han Qu arched his hand.

"Lead the way!" Li Canghai said in a deep voice.

Han Qu hurriedly took Li Canghai and walked into the inner hall.

In the inner hall, there is a wooden box, and the wooden box is stained with blood.

Li Canghai walked over, opened the wooden box, and leaned over to rummage in the box.

Han Qu and the others looked at each other, not knowing what Li Canghai was looking for.

There were all kinds of shadow puppets in the wooden box, Li Canghai rummaged through it for a while, and finally found a few folded pieces of straw paper from the bottom of the wooden box.

Unfolding a few pieces of paper and looking at them carefully, Li Canghai's brows suddenly twisted.

"My lord, what is this?" Han Qu asked suspiciously.

Li Canghai put away the paper and asked Han Qu: "Lord Han, among the official documents, are there any murderers who use the ghost-headed golden knife?" ”

Han Qu thought for a while, nodded and said, "There is indeed such a person." It is said that this person's name is Duan Ghost, but he is a flower thief, this person is extremely fierce, every time after picking flowers, he will kill the victim, the government has surrounded him several times, but he has not been able to capture it. This person's martial arts are superb, and the weapon he uses is the Ghost Head Golden Knife. ”

"Lord Han, give the order to go down and go all out to catch this thief." Li Canghai's voice was cold and authentic.

"Why did you want to arrest this man?" Han Qu asked puzzled.

"This is the murderer who killed the shadow puppet troupe." Li Canghai said in a deep voice.

"What? The murderer turned out to be him? Han Qu said in surprise.

"Yes, besides him, there is another murderer." Li Canghai said coldly.

"There's one more?" Han Qu was shocked, and he asked in surprise: "But my lord, there is something unknown about the lower officials, the shadow puppet troupe is composed of some ordinary people, how can you provoke a murderer like Duan Ghost?" ”

"This matter is also being investigated, you quickly go and send a sea fishing document, and the whole city will arrest Duan Ghost!" Li Canghai said coldly.

"Xiaguan will do it." After Han Qu bowed to Li Canghai, he immediately left Chang'an Mansion.

After Han Qu left, Li Canghai asked Changshi, "The night before yesterday, where is the thief caught on Suzaku Street now?" ”

"I caught a lot of thieves the night before yesterday, I don't know which one the adults asked?" Changshi asked puzzled.

After Li Canghai pondered, he said: "That's it, this official will go to the prison to find it himself!" ”

Chang'an Mansion Prison.

Approaching the end of the year, there were more thieves in Chang'an City, and in just a few days, dozens of cells in Chang'an Mansion were already overcrowded.

Li Canghai came to the cell and carefully identified a thief caught on Suzaku Street on the night of the 29th day of the lunar month.

Changshi Situ Feng followed Li Canghai step by step, not understanding why he was looking for the thief he caught the day before yesterday.

Soon, Li Canghai found the snitch named Zhu Lao Wu from the cell C, and ordered someone to take him to the torture room.

The torture chamber was filled with all kinds of torture instruments, and the whole room gave people an eerie and terrifying feeling.

Zhu Lao Wu's eyes almost narrowed into a slit, cautiously looking at everything around him.

Li Canghai stood in front of him, looking at him expressionlessly.

"Zhu Lao Wu, from now on, if the official asks you, you have to answer truthfully." Li Canghai said coldly.

Zhu Lao Wu snorted disapprovingly, and said lazily: "The adults have something to say, but the little ones don't dare not reply." ”

"Let me ask you, the night before yesterday, you stole someone's money bag on Suzaku Street, did you do it yourself, or was it instructed by someone?" Li Canghai didn't plan to talk nonsense with him, and went straight to the point.

When Zhu Lao Wu heard this, his eyebrows moved involuntarily, but they soon returned to normal.

"My lord's words are interesting, if you don't have a little tight money, how can the small one steal?"

"Zhu Lao Wu, this official only gives you one chance, if you recruit from the truth, this official may be spared." Li Canghai said coldly. (To be continued.) )
