Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Truth

As the sun sets, the streets are deserted, and the spring breeze blows the fallen flowers on the ground

A carriage stopped in front of a dark inn, and when the innkeeper saw someone coming, he hurriedly lit an oil lamp and went out to greet him: "Are you going to stay in a hotel?" ”

Zhou Chengdao: "An upper room"

The innkeeper turned around and took the key, and replied, "Please go upstairs."

As soon as the door of the room opened, a musty smell came to his face, Li Zhilian covered his mouth and nose, and asked, "How long has no one lived?" ”

The boss sneered: "I am alone in this inn, and I usually neglect to take care of it, but the things inside are very clean."

Zhou Cheng opened the window and waved his hand, and the boss immediately retreated: "This place is close to Guanghua Gate, there are fewer pedestrians on weekdays, and there have been murders in this inn, so few people come here."

Li Zhilian turned his head and looked at Lu Jing with some embarrassment

Lu Jing shook his head at her: "It's not easy to find a secluded place to live in Lining City, there is a son of Lao Zhou."

Zhou Cheng smiled, turned around, and said, "I'll go down and explain to the shopkeeper."

Li Zhilian said "um", walked up to Cui Jie's side and asked, "Miss Cui Jie, can you take the cloak away?"

Cui Jie, however, was frightened, pushed her hand away, and covered herself tightly with her cloak

Li Zhilian raised his hand awkwardly, stunned, he was fine just now, why did he suddenly seem to be a different person

Lu Jing walked quickly and stopped her behind her: "In a strange place, Cui Jie is a little resistant, give her a little time" squatted down, looked at Cui Jie, and said softly: "Cui Jie~ Let Miss Li take a look at you, she will definitely cure you, believe me"

Cui Jie slowly calmed down, looked at Lu Jing with big tearful eyes, and took a long time before taking the black cloak off her body

Her skin was white and glowing in the faint light, with red speckled blisters on it, which looked particularly scary, Li Zhilian reached out and put her wrist vein, Cuijie's body trembled, looking at her

Suddenly, a slight sound of footsteps passed overhead, Li Zhilian and Lu Jing looked out of the window at the same time, and just as the black shadow appeared in the window, there was a loud "bang", and the windows scattered in all directions

Li Zhilian and Lu Jing flew out, and the man jumped, swept over the heads of the two, and flew onto the roof

Lu Jing was about to fly to chase after him, but Li Zhilian grabbed him: "He shouldn't have any malicious intent"

Zhou Cheng ran up from downstairs, chased to the window and looked out, there was no one, turned to Li Zhilian and asked, "Are you injured?" ”

Li Zhilian shook his head: "This person has been following us since Hu Lao, he should be Hu Lao's person, let him keep an eye on it!" ”

Lu Jing nodded, Li Zhilian walked to Cui Jie's side, and said, "You guys stay here for a few days first, and I'll go to the Tai Hospital to discuss with the doctors about the prescription first."

Coming out of the inn, Li Zhilian and Zhou Cheng glanced at each other, a gust of wind blew, the falling flowers on the ground floated gently, and a black shadow fell on the wall of the inn like lightning, and disappeared into the night in an instant

Li Zhilian glanced back and said, "Let's go~"

Zhou Cheng nodded and asked, "Is this disease...... Can it really be cured? ”

Li Zhilian sighed: "Sixty percent sure"

Zhou Cheng said: "It's just sixty percent? Old Hu's ......"

Li Zhilian smiled: "There is no medicine to cure this disease, my sixty percent, he has earned it, it is not in the way"

Back in the Shen Mansion, it was already the time of the year

As soon as the porter saw her, he hurriedly ran over: "Miss Zhilian~ Where have you been all day?" Adults have been looking for you for a day."

"Teacher looking for me?" Li Zhilian asked

"Yes! The lord also told us that as soon as you come back, you will go to Dali Temple to find him."

Li Zhilian was taken aback, this can't be another big deal, right? Immediately turned around and got on the horse, and galloped towards Dali Temple

When she arrived at Dali Temple, the official guarding the door greeted her: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess~ Where have you been all day?" Lord Shen has been looking for you for a day."

Li Zhilian handed the horse rope into the hands of the official and asked, "Where is the teacher?" ”

"Your Excellency should be in the autopsy room at this time"

Li Zhilian hurriedly ran to the morgue, where Li Jianqing, Shen Zhitang and Wu Mao were standing around a corpse.

She hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Teacher~"

Shen Zhitang raised his eyes and beckoned to her: "Zhilian is here, come and see these two corpses"

Li Zhilian walked over, the corpse's face turned purple, and green spots had begun to appear on the exposed skin: "This is Zhao Qianning and Du Ruoyi?" ”

Shen Zhitang nodded: "At noon today, Your Majesty summoned Du Shangshu and Lord Zhao, allowed the two of them to return to their hometowns, and also ordered a thorough investigation of the case."

Li Zhilian said "ah~" and said: "But Du Shangshu and Zhao Dacai are the real victims of this matter."

Shen Zhitang said: "When they insisted that you killed their daughter, they should have thought that there would be such an end."

Li Zhilian nodded, took the gloves handed to her by Li Jianqing, and leaned over to check the corpse in front of her: "Which one was killed first?" ”

Shen Zhitang opened the autopsy report: "Zhao Qianning"

Li Zhilian pointed at Zhao Qianning's neck: "Look here, this wound should have cut off the trachea, and accidentally touched the major artery when drawing the knife, which led to excessive blood loss, and the wound on Du Ruoyi's neck was a little smaller, but it also touched the major artery, if you give the murderer a little more time to practice, he may really learn my technique."

"Cough~" Shen Zhitang coughed lightly, and Li Zhitang sneered: "That Xu Zhuozuo from Xilin City, have you found it?" ”

Wu Mao shook his head and said: "On the day of the incident, after he testified in court, he could no longer find this person."

Shen Zhitang asked, "Are you suspicious of Xu Chengzuo?" ”

"Hmm" Li Zhilian nodded: "Looking at the murder method, his suspicion is indeed relatively big"

Shen Zhitang said: "Lord Wu, immediately issue a wanted warrant and make every effort to arrest Xu Qizuo."

Wu Mao responded: "Yes~" and quickly exited the coroner's room

Li Zhilian frowned slightly: "I'm afraid that Xu Chengzuo is just a chess piece"

Shen Zhitang and Li Jianqing glanced at each other and asked, "I heard that you went to the Wenshi Pavilion with Zhou Cheng today?" The fire in the Wenshi Pavilion has something to do with this? ”

Li Zhilian nodded: "What is placed in the attic of the Wenshi Pavilion is a book about the Gao clan of the previous dynasty."

Shen Zhitang exclaimed: "Lin Zhao is related to the Gao clan of the previous dynasty? ”

Li Zhilian shook his head: "It's not clear, but according to the current situation, it depends on someone who doesn't want me to investigate anymore."

Li Jianqing took a step forward: "Don't worry~ Your Majesty has handed over this case to the teacher to deal with, and it will definitely come to light."

Li Zhilian raised his head and asked, "Is the teacher's Li Kun case settled?" ”

Shen Zhitang nodded: "Yang Ziluo has already pleaded guilty"

Li Zhilian asked, "Yang Ziluo?" Is he alone? ”

Shen Zhitang said helplessly: "He confessed his guilt, and the organs of the deceased were indeed made by him, and the line of the Xiao family was broken again."

Li Zhilian asked, "Could it be that the Xiao family threatened him?" ”

Li Jianqing said: "I've checked, he is an orphan, Yang Tao who adopted him is also dead, and he doesn't have any friends on weekdays."

Li Zhilian was puzzled: "This is strange! ”

Shen Zhitang nodded: "This matter is indeed a bit strange."

She suddenly thought of Mr. Wang's matter, raised her eyes and looked at Shen Zhitang, she didn't know whether to say this matter or not

"Mercy! Have something to tell me? Shen Zhitang's voice sounded in her ears

Li Zhi was steady, what if she thought too much about herself! "Nothing! Just thinking about what Du Ruoyi and Zhao Qianning died for? If it's just to frame me, the price is too great, and it won't work."

Shen Zhitang said: "Maybe they just want to buy a little time" Shen Zhitang seemed to think of something: "Wenshi Pavilion is on fire"

Li Zhilian nodded: "When the attic of Wenshi Pavilion caught fire, there were water bags hanging on the eaves, so the fire was extinguished so quickly, Wang Hongen, who was on duty that day"

Shen Zhitang raised his eyes in surprise and looked into the distance: "This Wang Hongen loves books like his life, he is a strange person, if it is him, he can explain it, but why did he do this?" ”

Li Zhilian shook his head and said, "We didn't expose him at that time."

Shen Zhitang looked at her for a long time before asking, "It seems that you already have the answer in your heart."

Li Zhilian nodded: "Is Mr. Wang in Lining City?" ”

Shen Zhitang was stunned: "Three years ago, when you were Daoist Zou Huai, he came to Shen Mansion to scold me, and then disappeared."

Li Zhipian was stunned, Mr. Wang actually ran from Zhongluan City to Lining City to scold Shen Zhitang for her??
