Chapter 165: Tracking Clues

After Liu Hua saw the position of the teacups on the table of the Eight Immortals in the living room, he was shocked, and secretly said that it was bad, it turned out that in the rules at this time, the left side of the Eight Immortals Table was the guest seat, and the right side was the master position, and now there was a teapot on the right side of the Eight Immortals table, which showed that Shen Jiaolin was making tea for people in the position of the master.

Usually, when guests come to Liu Hua's house, Yahuan Wen Ting is responsible for making tea and pouring water, but the furnishings at this time show that the person who makes tea and pours water for the guests is Shen Jiaolin, because of the position of the owner on the right, when Liu Hua is not at home, only Shen Jiaolin can sit in that position.

Liu Hua didn't have any acquaintances in Shengjing except for Na Hetu and Father Zhang, and because of his work, it was impossible for Na Hetu to come to Liu Hua's residence in person, at most he would send a personal soldier over. As for Daddy Zhang, because he has a very close relationship with Liu Hua and has frequent contacts on weekdays, if Daddy Zhang came to Liu Hua, Shen Jiaolin would not have met so ceremoniously.

Liu Hua carefully checked the tea in the teapot, looked at the tea in the teacup again, and found that the tea in the teacup had already cooled, when he poured the remaining tea in the two teacups back into the teapot, he saw that the teapot was just filled, which means that after the tea was brewed, Shen Jiaolin and the other party did not drink tea.

Then, Liu Hua walked to the stove in the house again, looked at the remnants of firewood in the stove, and found that the stoves in several rooms were about to be extinguished, and all the firewood in them were almost burned, leaving only a few fire sticks.

Liu Hua once calculated that once the furnace was filled, it could burn for about an hour and a half, which means that Shen Jiaolin and Wen Ting had disappeared for an hour and a half, otherwise, the firewood in the stove would have been burned out long ago.

After checking these, Liu Hua couldn't help but fall into deep thought, since the person who came was able to enter the courtyard and was received by Shen Jiaolin so ceremoniously, it means that the other party has gained Shen Jiaolin's trust, and the identity of the other party has been respected by Shen Jiaolin, otherwise, Shen Jiaolin would not take the initiative to make tea for the other party.

But judging from the fact that the teacups of the two were full of tea, and after the tea was poured back into the pot, the teapot was just filled, indicating that the other party sat down and exchanged a few words with Shen Jiaolin, and then took Shen Jiaolin away with some excuse. Otherwise, the other party will at least take a sip of tea, instead of sitting down and not sticking to it.

There are only two situations that can come here to find Liu Hua and gain Shen Jiaolin's trust, and will be treated as a guest by Shen Jiaolin, first: the other party is Liu Hua's guest, and second: the other party is Shen Jiaolin's guest.

Liu Hua only has enemies in Shengjing, and he has no friends at all, and if the other party is Na Hetu or Daddy Zhang, Shen Jiaolin may send someone to find Liu Hua, it is impossible to leave with the other party, if the other party is not Liu Hua's guest, then it is only Shen Jiaolin's guest.

But this is Shengjing, Shen Jiaolin can't have any friends and relatives here, if the other party comes here as Shen Jiaolin's guest, then there is only one possibility, that is, the other party is from Guannei.

However, this place of residence was sent by the prefect's yamen in the early days, and it belonged to the area where the supervision camp managed the exiles from outside, and ordinary people did not know this place at all, unless they were accompanied or led by the prefect's yamen, otherwise, they could not even find a place.

In this case, the problem is strange, Liu Hua has no henchmen and cronies in the prefect's yamen at all, only some subordinates who do not listen to the call, he first killed the former chief arrester, a few days ago he put the former deputy chief arrester into the prison, and now the arrest of the criminal arrest room all have opinions on Liu Hua, if there is really an old person who comes to Liu Hua, with Liu Hua's popularity from the criminal arrest room, it is estimated that no one will be so enthusiastic.

After analyzing this, Liu Hua came to a conclusion, that is, Shen Jiaolin and Wen Ting were deceived by someone, after figuring out the problem, Liu Hua was silent, he walked to the door, carefully checked the traces of the underground, and after identification, Liu Hua found that there were three traces of horseshoe in front of the gate of the yard, except for a batch of his own horses, the remaining two horseshoe prints belonged to military horses, because the horseshoe prints had the marks of military horses.

Seeing this, Liu Hua immediately understood that all this should be inseparable from Tuoheqi, leaned down and carefully observed the traces of the departure of the military horse, Liu Hua closed the courtyard door, rode his horse and ran towards the outside of the village, to see where he rode his horse and galloped, which was the direction of the three ditches where the murder occurred some time ago.

Restaurants, casinos, green/building, everywhere in Sandaogou, this place is both flowery and mixed, Liu Hua rode a horse to Sandaogou, directly parked the horse in front of Baiyanlou, found Helu from the inside, Liu Hua asked him to quickly inquire about a situation, more than half an hour ago, did anyone ride a horse to lead two beautiful-looking, about twenty-eight years old women came here?

Liu Hua knew that anyone who did this kind of business in Baiyanlou was hooked up with all the shops around, and others didn't know what news there was, the local snakes here must be clear, and He Lu was also one of these local snakes, otherwise, he would not be able to experience the restaurant here.

After giving the order, Liu Hua took out a gold ingot from his arms, and then threw it to He Lu without looking at it: "Find the person I am looking for, and there are two gold ingots to reward you, if you can't find it, Baiyan Building will disappear from now on." ”

In a dimly lit room, surrounded by firewood and charcoal, it seems that this is a certain family's firewood house, at this time, in the firewood room, a middle-aged man in an ordinary cotton jacket and an ordinary-looking teenager stand aside, and on the ground opposite, there are two girls who are tied up with flowers.

This man is Du Yi, the intelligence officer of Tuo Heqi, the young man with an ordinary appearance is Du Yi's assistant, and the two girls who were tied up by flowers are Shen Jiaolin and Wen Ting.

At this time, Shen Jiaolin and Wen Ting were all whip marks, and the blood stains had soaked through their clothes, leaving shocking blood marks on their bodies, and their faces were all bruised and swollen. Du Yi looked at Wen Ting with a hideous expression: "Little girl, you are just a maid, and you have not been by the side of the surnamed Liu for a long time, why should you suffer such a crime?"

As long as you tell me, did the women who came out of the detention camp with you secretly transferred to the prison by the surname Liu? I'll let you live, and you won't have to suffer like this anymore. ”

After hearing this, Wen Ting spat at Du Yi: "Phew...... Thief, don't you want to ask for any clues in my mouth? Liu Gongzi is as kind to me as a mountain, if it weren't for him, I would have been locked up in the supervision camp for the rest of my life, and I want to get unfavorable news from my mouth about Liu Gongzi, you dream, you have the ability to kill me. ”

When Wen Ting said this, none of the people in the firewood room noticed that a figure passed lightly outside the firewood room, and the figure flashed in front of the door, as if it had never appeared. rs
