Chapter Seventy-Three: Revisited

In the Shuntian Mansion, Xiao Qian reported the preliminary investigation results to Lord Ji.

"We got the registration record of entering the city, the second and fourth and fifth days of the first three days of the Shunchang car shop a total of eleven carriages from the Dinghuai Gate into the city, all from Ezhou, the record is registered to transport rice, Zilian and other specialties, the accounts of the Shunchang car store are the same, and in these three days, the second year Meng Chao is not on duty, the fourth year is on duty, just happened to meet the Shunchang team, the fifth year should have been Meng Chao on duty, but Guo Yongli was given a shift."

"Later, we went to the Shunchang car dealership, Lin Yanyan found a few carriages in the car dealership to transport traces of saltpeter, but the car dealership's accounts did not register saltpeter, before we learned that Meng Chao's father had done it in the firecracker workshop, and he didn't do it after three fingers were blown off by firecrackers, Lin Yanyan deduced that Meng Chao found saltpeter when he checked the carriage, so he had to check it carefully, and was scolded by Guo Yongli, Meng Chao's death seemed to be a murder after burglary, but now it seems that it may be related to these cars of saltpeter."

Master Ji's index finger turned around on the tea lid several times, and his brows became deeper and deeper: "Lin Yanyan is sure it's saltpeter?" ”

"She's pretty sure."

Master Ji muttered: "In this way, this case is complicated, now we need to find out how much saltpeter they smuggled in?" Where are things sent and what are they used for? We can't just focus on Dinghuai Gate, other city gates should also be checked. ”

"I've already sent someone to investigate."

Master Ji nodded: "How many people know about saltpeter now?" ”

"Just you and me, Lin Yanyan, Lu Zhaonan, I haven't told Guan Sheng yet."

"Don't spread the word yet, so as not to startle the snake."

"That's what I thought too."

"Your Highness, the impact of this case is too bad, and there are rumors in the palace, asking us to solve the case as soon as possible, Your Highness, you work hard, and strive to solve this case as soon as possible." Ji Da is humane.

"It's a matter of duty." Xiao Qian said.

This case is not easy to solve, but the more difficult the case, the more challenging it is, not to mention that there is a hint of conspiracy behind this case, Xiao Qian is looking forward to the moment when the mystery is revealed.

Xiao Qian came out of Master Ji and returned to the duty room, but saw Lin Yanyan sitting in his place.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Yanyan said: "When I was having dinner, I suddenly thought of something, I think we have to go to Meng's house again." ”

"Now?" Xiao Qian looked at the sky outside, it was already dark.

"Yes, right now."

"What do you want to look up?"

"We saw the Meng family turned over in a mess before, and it was natural to think that the other party was rummaging through the property, or creating a scene of theft, but I thought of a possibility, just because Meng Chao was suspicious of the goods in the carriage, I think it's a bit far-fetched, maybe Meng Chao's discovery is more than saltpeter, maybe he has evidence in his hand, is it possible that the murderer is looking for evidence?"

Xiao Qian's eyes lit up: "Let's go, let's go to the Meng family now." ”

On the way, Lin Yanyan asked, "What about Lu Zhaonan?" ”

Xiao Qian smiled bitterly: "He, he didn't eat breakfast and vomited in the dark, he ate hard at noon, but he was overwhelmed and his stomach was uncomfortable, so I asked him to go back and rest first." ”

"I'll write you a recipe for spleen-strengthening and digestion soup when I go back."

"No, he has returned to the palace, and he will ask the imperial doctor to see it, have you learned a lot from your master recently?"

"Of course, my master is amazing." Lin Yanyan raised his eyebrows proudly.

"Is your master a woman?"

Lin Yanyan was puzzled: "Why do you think it's a woman?" ”

"I heard that now the ladies in Beijing call you a beauty master, and this skill should also be taught to you by your master! With such a focus on beauty, it would be a bit scary if it wasn't a woman. ”

"I'm terrible about your size." You and Lu Zhaonan are both men! Not together? Early in the morning, in front of her, you and me, dressed and combed their hair.

Xiao Qian didn't know that Lin Yanyan had already put a capital broken sleeve label on his head, and he was still in the mood to laugh: "Is my head terrible?" Too handsome, scared you? ”

Lin Yanyan glanced at him, with handsome eyebrows and trim eyes, deep eyes, and a high nose bridge, he was indeed very handsome, but it was a pity that he liked men, no matter how good-looking he looked, it was useless.

"Don't scare your family, Lu Zhaonan." Lin Yanyan sneered.

"What do you call my family Lu Zhaonan? Why don't you say your Lu Zhaonan? Why does that sound so wrong?

"I don't dare." Lin Yanyan whipped up and ran ahead.

Xiao Qian hurriedly hit his horse and chased after him.

The bodies of the Meng family had been transported back to Shuntianfu, but the blood on the ground was still there, and despite the lights in the house, I still felt terrible.

"I knew I should have brought more people here." Xiao Qian said.

Although the Meng family only entered the mansion as soon as they entered the house, it was still very difficult for the two of them to find something that they didn't know if it existed, let alone where it would be hidden.

"It's easy to mess up the scene with too many people."

"So how do you find it? Let's go our separate ways? ”

Lin Yanyan looked at the bloodstains on the ground in the middle hall, and thought of the deaths of the three children in the second room, and couldn't help but shudder: "Let's look for it together!" ”

The corners of Xiao Qian's mouth were almost undetectable, and he said straight when he was afraid.

"Xiao Qian, if you want to hide something very important at home, where would you hide it?"

"I'm more used to keeping it in my heart." No one can steal it.

Lin Yanyan glared at him: "Can you talk well?" ”

Xiao Qian looked around: "Maybe I will hide in a place where I can see but no one can think of it." ”

"It's a good idea." Lin Yanyan agreed.

"All the drawers and cabinets here have been opened, even the pillows have been poked, and the bedding has been turned over, let's rule out the places where the murderer turned over."

"Lin Yanyan, if there is really something, do you think it has been taken away by the murderer?"

"I don't know, I can only try my luck, if I can't find it, then we will lurk here tonight, if the murderer is not found, he will definitely come again."

"Actually, this is just my speculation, I'm not sure that this thing exists, if you run for nothing, don't blame me." Lin Yanyan first said the ugly words in front.

Xiao Qian walked towards the bedroom: "The investigation is like this, any clues would rather be missed than let go, I think your inference is still reliable." ”

Lin Yanyan pursed his lips and smiled, and followed in.

The two knocked everywhere and touched everywhere, Xiao Qian even jumped on the beam of the house to take a look, and the three rooms in the east chamber were almost turned upside down, but they still found nothing.

"It seems that Meng Chao's thinking is different from ours." Xiao Qian rubbed his eyebrows, distressed.

"Then think backwards, will Meng Chao hide things in a place where even his family can't find out."

"Pigsty?" Xiao Qian's first reaction was the pigsty, usually no one would enter the pigsty casually!

"You're going to see?"

"Why me?"

"I'm a woman, you're a man, do you want me a woman to go into the pigsty?" Lin Yanyan raised his chin.

Xiao Qian: Uh...... Women are amazing!
