After the two returned to the inn, Liu Hua took out the painting in the deceased's room, and after looking at it carefully, Liu Hua nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, it turns out that this is the case, such a cunning murderer, he is so cleverly disguised." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Hua ignored Shen Jiaolin, and ran downstairs in a hurry, and after leaving the inn, he went straight to the deceased's room, at this time, many clansmen were paying tribute to the old patriarch.

When he came to the room, Liu Hua calmed down, and then walked into the room, and after seeing Liu Hua, Dongfang Neng, who was accompanying the spirit, was stunned: "Liu Gongzi, didn't you go to find the murderer?" How did you get here? Don't? Have you found the murderer? ”

Speaking of this, a trace of hope and excitement flashed in Dongfang Neng's eyes. After seeing Dongfang Neng's hopeful eyes, Liu Hua shook his head: "Although I have some clues, I am still uncertain."

However, today I discovered a secret of the old patriarch, a few children in the clan, when they went to the ancestral hall to play, they accidentally knocked over several urns, and one of the boxes actually contained an iron plaque.

There's a big secret hidden on that iron plate, and I'm thinking about destroying it on the spot? Or take it to Shengjing? For the safety of your people, the secret of that iron plate must not be revealed, otherwise, it will bring death to the people here. ”

Speaking of this, seeing that Dongfang Neng's face was a little confused, Liu Hua changed the topic: "Don't inquire about this matter, I'll deal with it later, I'll take a look at the tea in the old patriarch's house, I suspect that the murderer poisoned it through tea." ”

Dongfang Neng wanted to ask about the iron plate, but seeing that Liu Hua didn't want to say more, he hesitated, didn't inquire, and heard Liu Hua come to find tea, he pointed to the tea can on the desk and said: "That's the tea that my father-in-law usually drinks, you take it back and check it, if necessary, you can come directly to me and Nenghua, we will try our best to cooperate with you." ”

After taking back the tea leaves from the deceased's house, Liu Hua carefully looked at the Pu'er tea in the tea can, smelled the smell, Liu Hua took out a teacup, took a spoonful of tea leaves, poured boiling water, and observed it carefully.

"What fragrant tea, where did you get it?" As soon as Liu Hua soaked the tea leaves for a while, Shen Jiaolin smelled the smell and came over, picked up the tea can on the table and looked at it: "Huh...... What a good Pu'er. ”

"Do you know this tea?" Liu Hua looked at Shen Jiaolin with some surprise.

Hearing Liu Hua's questioning, Shen Jiaolin glanced at it: "What do you mean?" I really think I haven't seen the world? The origin of this tea is Yunnan, also known as Pucha, which is now rare in the local area except for the capital.

Before, our family wanted to act as an agent for this kind of tea, but the imperial court restrictions were too strict, and we couldn't get the agency book and tea quotation at all, so I broke off this idea, I have two cans of Pu'er tea at home, but the variety is not as good as this can. ”

After hearing this, Liu Hua picked up the teacup, sniffed it gently, and then took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, put the silver into the teacup, and carefully observed the changes in the silver.

In the afternoon, Liu Hua brought the groom and asked him to clean up the carriage, and then buy some food from the residents in the Hexagram Immortal Ridge so that they could eat on the road.

In the evening, Hua Dashao came to Liu Hua in a hurry, and as soon as they met, Hua Dashao asked aggressively: "What?" I can hear that you asked the groom to pack your bags? Are you going to leave?

No, you can't go, you haven't found out about my master's affairs yet, how can you leave? You have to have a beginning and an end, and you have to stay here until you find the murderer. ”

After seeing Hua Dashao's menacing expression, Liu Hua sighed helplessly: "Alas...... I also want to help you find the murderer, but this search for the murderer will not be completed in a while.

You also know that I am going to Shengjing to take up my post, and I can't stay here for a long time, if I delay my tenure, the court will blame me, and I have already found out some eyebrows about the murderer's clues, and when I turn around and pass by the government office, I will hand over this case to the local arrester and let them send someone to deal with this matter. ”

After saying this, Liu Hua began to pack his luggage, and the flower next to him begged for a while, hoping that Liu Hua could stay. But Liu Hua didn't know what to think about, he was determined to leave, no matter how much he persuaded him, he was determined to leave.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Liu Hua, Hua Dashao had to leave the room angrily, Liu Hua saw from the window that Hua Dashao left the inn, stayed at the door for a while, and then walked towards the deceased's residence, seeing this, Liu Hua smiled slightly and slowly closed the window.

After dinner, Liu Hua and Shen Jiaolin were sitting in the lobby drinking tea, only to see Hua Dashao wearing filial piety clothes back to the inn, after seeing Liu Hua and the two, Hua Dashao "hum......med", and then instructed the shopkeeper:

"These two guest officers will leave tomorrow morning, remember to let them settle the account when the time comes, the price? We can't treat it differently, how to charge with others, and how to charge from the two of them. ”

After finishing speaking, Hua Dashao walked towards the second floor, and when he walked up the two stairs, he seemed to think of something: "Oh, by the way, if they don't have enough money on them, they will detain their carriage tomorrow, and our knife and axe hotel will have a small profit, and we can't afford a penny on credit." ”

Hearing this, Liu Hua said to Shen Jiaolin next to him: "You go back to the house first, I have to talk to this black-hearted businessman, if it is according to his charging method, I will not be able to sell you." After the words fell, Liu Hua followed Hua Dashao upstairs.

In the early hours of the morning, the Knife and Axe Hotel had closed, all the guys in the store had gone back to their rooms, Liu Hua and Shen Jiaolin also went to bed early, and when the dark wind was high this month, a figure came to the door of the hotel.

Quietly opening the door of the hotel, the figure entered the room in a flash, the figure is quite familiar with the layout of the hotel, even in the dark, the figure can accurately avoid the tables, chairs and benches in the lobby.

After walking down the stairs to the second floor, the figure came to Liu Hua's door, took out a bamboo pipe and blew a smoke into the room, and then the figure took out a dagger, gently opened the door bolt, and after entering the room, the figure walked straight to the bedside hanger, as if he was looking for something.

When he came to the hanger, he found that there were no clothes hanging on it, and when he saw this, the figure felt bad, and wanted to withdraw without saying a word, but just as he reached the door, the room opposite the door suddenly turned on, and then the door was opened, and several figures came out of the opposite room.

Liu Hua walked in front with a lantern in his hand, and when he saw the appearance of the figure opposite, he smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's you." ”rs
