"That's strange, since I didn't hear a sound, and no outsiders have ever come to the prefectural office... Could it be that Yang Xu died by suicide? Qu Ziyi dragged his chin and muttered.

After experiencing the previous assassination, Lin Xingyu was able to maintain a calm mind at the corpse opposite at this moment: "If he was bent on death, his facial features would not be so hideous and distorted." ”

Le Qing looked around the corpse: "Miss Lin is right, Lord Yang is definitely not a suicide." ”

"My family usually has a good mentality, and they will definitely not think of committing suicide." The old man hurriedly explained.

Qu Ziyi just said it casually, but he didn't really think that Yang Xu committed suicide.

"Look." Le Qing flipped the corpse's wrist.

Several people looked at it at the same time.

"Huh? His nails were broken, and there was bloodshot sebum in the nail cracks, it was obvious that he had resisted violently before he died, and the sebum and blood in the nails must have been left by the murderer, but the old housekeeper said that he didn't hear any sound, how to explain this sebum and blood stucles? Strange! "Qu Ziyi looks at the analysis of changes.

Lin Xingyu looked at General Qu who was like a detective next to him funny, and wanted to joke: General Qu, can you say something that others don't know.

"Old butler, don't worry, think about it carefully, has anything strange happened since you delivered the ginseng soup?" Le Qing's eyes are bright and gorgeous, and her gentle voice seems to have a magical soothing effect, which makes people's emotions slowly become calm.

The old man shook his wide sleeves, thought about it seriously, and said uncertainly: "The old man came out of the study after delivering the ginseng soup, and just saw Xiao Li saying that he wanted to send a letterhead to the adult, but he came out soon after he went in." ”

Lin Xingyu turned around in the study, his eyes paused in the corner of the mahogany desk, and then he turned his eyes away casually, stood on tiptoe and reached out to touch the top plank of the bookshelf: "Then old housekeeper, have you ever entered the study again?" ”

The old man shook his head: "No, I stayed in the courtyard until I heard you knock on the door." ”

"This Xiao Li is very suspicious." Qu Ziyi put down the corpse's hand and stood up from the ground: "Old housekeeper, where is that Xiao Li now?" ”

"It's impossible for Xiao Li to kill an adult, and besides, he didn't even have time to enter the study for half a cup of tea, and the old man has been guarding the door, so he doesn't have that opportunity to kill an adult." Xiao Li has a simple and honest personality and is very likable, and his husband is partial to him: "Xiao Li went to the thatched house, and the old man went to find him." ”

Half a cup of tea is enough time to kill a person?

The answer is absolutely enough, but how to let the deceased be strangled alive without making a sound is still unexplained.

"A few adults, Xiao Li, he... He had an old illness and died in the hut. When my husband reappeared, his face was very bad.

Qu Ziyi frowned: "Such a coincidence? Where is Xiao Li's body? ”

The old man sighed: "A few adults came with the old man. ”

Xiao Li's body was parked in the backyard near the thatched house, and before the three of them could get closer, they smelled a disgusting stench from afar.

Qu Ziyi knew that Le Qing had a serious cleanliness habit, so he told Le Qing to stay away and go to the autopsy himself.

"Go and roll up the sleeves of this corpse." Qu Ziyi covered his mouth and nose and rushed to the next person who salvaged Xiao Li's body.

The subordinates squatted down with a constipated face and went to pick up the sleeves of the corpses.

"The murderer is indeed him." Qu Ziyi stared at the corpse's left hand and sighed: "Hey, what can I do, won't the clue be broken when he dies?" ”

Several long blood marks extended from Xiao Li's wrist to the back of his hand, which looked very eye-catching.

Lin Xingyu, who couldn't wait to bury his whole face in a handkerchief, inadvertently glanced at the old housekeeper who was standing aside.

The old butler did not cover his mouth and nose with his hands like them, as if his sense of smell had failed, and stood there wiping away tears.

"It's so stinky, let's go first!" Lin Xingyu proposed after exiting a few meters away.

It stinks so much, if she doesn't leave, she's afraid she's going to be fainted here.

Le Qing nodded approvingly: "Old butler, Lord Yang's matter has to be handed over to the government to deal with, and Jin will inform the prefect of this matter." Stretched out his hand and pointed to Xiao Li's corpse: "Please order someone to clean up Xiao Li's body, and don't bury it for the time being." ”

"Yes, sir." The husband nodded.

Coming out of the county mansion, as soon as he got into the carriage, Lin Xingyu immediately spoke: "General Qu, please send someone to monitor the old housekeeper's every move." ”

The two people in the car saw her serious face, and couldn't help but ask cautiously: "What did Miss Lin find?" ”

Lin Xingyu said his thoughts: "I just found a small piece of porcelain bowl fragments in Yang County's study, but that study is so clean that there is not even a trace of dust on the top of the bookshelf, but I think that the study should be carefully cleaned every day, but why are there porcelain bowl fragments?" ”

Without waiting for the two to answer, she continued: "There is only one possibility, that someone broke the bowl in that study not long ago, and it was too late to carefully clean up what was left. The sound of the broken bowl should be very loud, but the old housekeeper said that he didn't hear any sound, and when Le Gongzi found that Yang Xianling's nails were broken, I deliberately paid attention to the old butler's expression, and found that he subconsciously shook his sleeves. ”

"You mean, the butler is lying?" Qu Ziyi faced Lin Xingyu.

Lin Xingyu began to sympathize with the general's IQ: "I think it was the housekeeper who killed Yang County's order." ”

"It shouldn't be possible, although Yang Xianling doesn't know martial arts, he is also a young and strong young man, how could he be strangled to death by an elderly man who also can't martial arts?" Qu Ziyi shook his head, looking incredulous.

Lin Xingyu said angrily: "A frontal attack is definitely impossible, but what if Yang Xian Ling first drank some drowsy medicine, and then took advantage of his unpreparedness?" ”

Le Qing kept looking at Lin Xingyu without speaking, as if thinking about the possibility of her analysis.

"Once you believe me, go find someone to keep an eye on the butler, and I think he will do something." Lin Xingyu insisted on his own ideas.

The carriage quieted down, and it didn't take long for Le Qing to say to Qu Ziyi: "Ziyi, listen to Miss Lin, find someone to keep an eye on the housekeeper, Jin also feels that there is something wrong with the housekeeper." ”

The housekeeper kept defending Xiao Li, and when they asked to see Xiao Li, he agreed and said that Xiao Li was in the thatched house, and they came to the county government to say that they also had half a pillar of incense, and they had not seen Xiao Li during this period, so why did the housekeeper think that Xiao Li was in the thatched house?

There is only one possibility, that is, he killed Xiao Li in advance, and then threw Xiao Li's body into the thatched house.

It is estimated that he originally planned to let others find Xiao Li's body first, so that his suspicion will be greatly reduced, who knows that no one happened to go to the hut during this period.
