Chapter Forty-Seven: Be Confident
When he returned to the Kunlun office, it was already early in the morning, and Qi Lu sat tiredly in the office chair, without the slightest sleepiness.
He didn't even turn on the light, he lit a cigarette and spewed clouds and mist in the dark room.
"Only Chen Yexing and Hu Yuxuan were killed by me, and the others, I did look for them, but I didn't kill them."
Xiao Shuo's words echoed in Qi Lu's mind at this moment, making him believe that Xiao Shuo would not lie on that occasion.
What's more, Liu Chenfei told him that in addition to Chen Yexing, several other deceased people had wolf hair in their fatal wounds, and only Chen Yexing's wounds were fox hairs, which also proved from the side that Xiao Bolt was not lying.
Who killed the others? This extends to Hu Qingyun's little servant Hu Ning, as well as his friend Hu Yu, and even Uncle Li, their deaths are all related to Xiao Bolt on the surface, but Qi Lu vaguely noticed that there were too many shady scenes hidden inside.
Did they kill Liu Ting'er? Qi Lu was silent as he held the copper coin in his hand.
"What a smell of smoke!" With a coquettish sound, the light in the room was turned on, and Qi Lu subconsciously blocked the dazzling light with his hand.
"When did you come back?" This is Ding Xiaolan's voice.
Qi Lu squinted his eyes and saw that it was Lao Wu and Ding Xiaolan who were back, and she was still carrying a breakfast in her hand.
"Eat it while it's hot, and I'll know you didn't eat breakfast."
Qi Lu took the wonton and ate it in two bites, only then did he realize that he was hungry.
While Ding Xiaolan was taking out the garbage, Qi Lu said to Lao Wu angrily: "You ran faster than a rabbit yesterday, and you didn't care if I lived or died?" ”
Lao Wu smiled mysteriously at him, and Qi Lu suddenly felt that his smile was terrifying and eerie.
"Why didn't you bring me with you to investigate the case last night, I was really a burden!" Before Qi Lu came back to his senses, he was yelled at by Ding Xiaolan, who came back from taking out the garbage.
"Aren't people afraid that something will happen to you, besides, your current task is mainly to cultivate spells." Qi Lu's answer was obviously lacking in confidence.
"It's clear that you dislike me, don't you think I'm embarrassing you, think" Ding Xiaolan complained a lot.
"Lao Wu, it's you talking too much." Qi Lu shook his head helplessly.
Old Wu laughed dryly a few times and began to drink.
"Don't drink it, help me persuade the little beauty."
Ding Xiaolan pouted and said, "Isn't it cool that so many beautiful women accompanied you yesterday?" ”
When Qi Lu saw her coming over with a wicked smile on her face, he knew that she wanted to pinch herself again, so he quickly got up and dodged.
Ding Xiaolan said teasingly: "Aren't those fox spirits very charming, you haven't come back to your senses yet?" ”
"What are you talking nonsense, I'm handling a case." Qi Lu was suddenly stunned, as if he had thought of something. "Vixen, yes, I'm going to meet them."
"Why, don't give up yet!" Ding Xiaolan roared again.
Qi Lu replied with a grin: "I said I was going to see a dead fox, do you believe it or not?" ”
"Dead fox?" Ding Xiaolan was stunned, and suddenly realized that Qi Lu had something to say.
"But before I see a dead fox, I want to see a live fox."
"Who?"
"Feng Qi Niang."
"Bah, I think your soul has been swept away by this sassy fox." Ding Xiaolan scolded.
"Don't curse people like that. Without Feng Qi Niang's help, how could I dig a grave? ”
"You mean to examine Hu Yuxuan's corpse?" Ding Xiaolan finally came to her senses.
"Yes, I'm going to test an inference." A confident glint flashed in Qi Lu's eyes.
"Tell me what judgments."
"I can't tell you yet." Qi Lu smiled and said, "In order to prove that I am not looking for flowers and willows as you said, I solemnly invite you to go with me this time." ”
"Just go." Ding Xiaolan lifted the small bag and didn't think much about it at all.
An hour later, the two of them returned, and Ding Xiaolan went to the bathroom to wash his hands angrily.
Seeing Qi Lu's pale face, Lao Wu asked, "What's the matter, I was disgusted by the corpse again?" ”
"Yes, it's an old problem, and it won't be able to change it for a while." Qi Lu lowered his eyelids, a little unnatural.
"It's really not a man, he actually asked me to help him perform an autopsy!" Ding Xiaolan, who had finished washing her hands, glared at Qi Lu.
Lao Wu said with a smile: "He takes the initiative to invite people, and it usually doesn't happen well." ”
"Well, next time I won't be fooled by him." Ding Xiaolan's hatred has not disappeared.
Qi Lu didn't make a sound, took out a small plastic bag from his pocket and handed it to Lao Wu.
Lao Wu carefully looked at the hair about an inch long in the bag and said, "It seems to be some kind of animal hair." Where to find it? ”
Qi Lu said: "This is the hair left by the murderer in Hu Yuxuan's wound, Feng Qiniang has identified this as fox hair." ”
Lao Wu smiled and said, "It seems that you already have the answer in your heart?" ”
"I'm just confirming whether Hu Yuxuan died at the hands of Xiao Bolt."
"What does that mean?" Ding Xiaolan was puzzled.
"Xiao Xuan didn't lie, only Chen Yexing and Hu Yuxuan were killed by him."
Lao Wu asked, "Do you suspect that the others were killed by Liu Ting'er?" ”
"Impossible." Qi Lu said: "Let's not talk about her motives, judging from her mana, although she can be regarded as a master in the Semitic clan, those dead elders are not idle people. With Liu Ting'er's ability, it may not be easy to kill them. ”
"Is there still a mastermind behind it?"
"Yes." Qi Lu thought for a while and said, "I suspect that he is the one who handed over the blood jade box to Liu Ting'er. It can be seen that Liu Ting'er trusts him so much that she can't believe that he will kill herself before she dies. ”
Old Wu Jaw Shou agreed with Qi Lu's point of view and said, "I'm afraid that person will be murderous when he handed over Liu Ting'er's box." ”
"This is also where I am worried, this black hand has set up the puzzle step by step before us, and it can be seen that he is very scheming, a far-sighted person, no wonder it will make us fall into a fog and not be able to peek into the truth."
Lao Wu asked again: "Then why did he kill these fox demons?" ”
"I don't know, but I believe their deaths have something to do with the internal interests of the Semitic race." Qi Lu groaned and said, "Maybe Xiao Bolt is just a pawn inserted temporarily, even if Xiao Bolt doesn't appear, this person will still carry out his assassination plan." ”
Lao Wu said worriedly: "If it is really like what you said, then this murderer is really a terrible opponent." ”
"The person who can arrange such an elaborate bureau to implement the plan is indeed not a simple person." Qi Lu's eyes lit up and said, "No matter how cunning the fox is, it will still show its tail." As everyone knows, the more cautious he is, the easier it is for me to narrow down the scope of my investigation. ”
"So, you already have a suspect in mind?"
"Yes, what I'm thinking about now is what kind of strategy I should take to lure the snake out of the hole so that he can show up automatically."
Lao Wu sneered and said: "As long as you can catch the murderer, it is a good strategy." ”
"Well, I wish the murderer wouldn't be the person I thought he was." After saying this, Qi Lu's expression was a little heavy.
Lao Wu asked in surprise: "Why, are you afraid that he won't succeed?" ”
"Maybe, but I'll have to get someone to help me, or I'm not sure."
Lao Wu frowned and said, "You don't want to summon Qianyehua again, do you?" ”
It is of course a good choice to invite Qianyehua, the king of ten thousand foxes, to help, but Qi Lu has no such plans, he wants to invite another person.
"The person I invited is Hu Lingyun."
"But she already knows that we're tracking down the little bolt, will she be willing to help you?" Lao Wu was a little worried.
Qi Lu smiled and said: "Of course I didn't before, but fortunately, I resolved the conflict between each other last night." What's more, she wants to know more than I know who is behind her to instigate her son to go down the wrong path. ”
Ding Xiaolan smiled and said, "So, have you forgiven Xiao Shu?" ”
Qi Lu smiled and said nothing, he saw Ding Xiaolan staring at him, and suddenly found that she was still very understanding sometimes.
Ding Xiaolan took his hand and said, "Then what are we waiting for, hurry up and find Fairy Hu." ”
"yes, we need to hurry, we can't let that man continue to bewitch the little bolt." Qi Lu then asked her with a smile: "What, aren't you afraid that I will take you to see another corpse?" ”
"Hmph, that's such a coincidence, I still want to learn embroidery from Fairy Hu."
"Alright, let's go find her."
When Qi Lu walked out of the company, he suddenly stopped, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Ding Xiaolan asked him strangely, not knowing what was going on.
"Look!" Qi Lu motioned to Ding Xiaolan to look across the street with his eyes.
The shops across the road were open as usual, and pedestrians hurriedly passed by, and no one glanced at the Kunlun office.
"Look, do you want to go buy something?" Ding Xiaolan was puzzled.
"Notice the vendors?"
Hearing Qi Lu say this, Ding Xiaolan noticed that the few small vendors who set up stalls on the side of the road had no one setting up stalls on the opposite side before.
"You mean there's something wrong with them?" Ding Xiaolan didn't find anything wrong.
Qi Lu said in a low voice: "I smell a faint demonic aura from them. ”
"You're saying we're being watched?" Ding Xiaolan was suddenly shocked. "Who would have the audacity to spy on us?"
"Of course it's Semite." Qi Lu stared at one of the vendors and muttered, "It seems that he has also noticed my actions, this time, I must get ahead of him, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
"Why don't you go find Fairy Hu, and I'll lure them away?" Ding Xiaolan proposed.
"Don't bother with it, I can make them disappear on their own right now."
Ding Xiaolan shook her head and said, "In broad daylight, you will expose your identity when you kill demons on the street." ”
Qi Lu smiled and took out his mobile phone, and then dialed the phone.
After a few simple words, he put the phone back in his pocket and said to Ding Xiaolan, "Okay, it's done." ”
"Done? Those people didn't leave! Ding Xiaolan looked at the vendor opposite, not understanding what Qi Lu meant.
Qi Lu said with a grin: "I called Liu Chenfei just now, saying that I have unlicensed vendors here who are setting up stalls, and ask him to coordinate with the city management to deal with it." ”
Hearing this, Ding Xiaolan laughed out loud, and really admired him for his many ghost ideas.
"Okay, let's go back to the company to rest first, and then we will set off after the chengguan drives away these little fox demons." Qi Lu has a bad smile, smart people will always find a way to solve the problem.
