Chapter One Hundred and Eight
Li Yan stared at the door tightly, and saw that the people from the county government came out carrying He Zhou's body. As soon as he raised his hand, the white cloth covering the corpse was blown away by a gust of wind.
The corpse had clear marks on its neck, apparently strangled to death. The word liar was engraved on his face.
Although, the official quickly covered the white cloth back. However, this moment of effort is enough for everyone to see all this.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the ghost is back."
There were already a few people who hurriedly left He Zhou's house.
"Hurry up, hurry up." The head catcher commanded the officer who carried the corpse and said.
Then he came to drive away the people who were gathered around.
Liyan and the others also retreated to the side alley.
"Shall we go in now?" Chu Yi asked.
"Wait."
A quarter of an hour later, most of the people had left He Zhou's house, leaving only two servants to guard the door.
"Let's go."
The three of them circled around and went to the back of the room and looked around. There was no one around, so he climbed over the wall and entered the house.
He Zhou's parents died early, he had no wife and no children, and he lived here alone.
There is also not much furniture in the house, and the furniture is full of scars, which is obviously not new.
"It seems that he still hasn't given up gambling." Chu Yi lamented.
"This kind of thing is not so easy to give up." With that, she frowned slightly. It stands to reason that he is already poor like this, how can he still have money to gamble?
The blood stains on the floor in the living room had not been cleaned up, and the smell of blood was very strong.
"Looks like that's where they carved him."
Liyan moved her nose, and then, she turned her head to look at Xuan Nian.
"Do you smell anything strange?"
"The smell of blood." Chu Yi said.
Xuan Nian shook his head.
Liyan looked at the two of them and sighed, but soon she thought of a way.
"Why is there blood on the ground?" Yuan Cheng exclaimed.
"Take Xiaoqi out, and don't tell it what's going on outside."
Yuan Cheng looked at the blood stains on the ground and said, "Okay, I'll bring it out." ”
When the little wizard came out, he sniffled vigorously.
"Are any of you hurt?" It asked, confused.
"Did you smell anything else?"
"You mean, the smell of blood?" It moved its nose, carefully distinguished, and said, "It's a different smell, it's similar to what I smelled on Xi'er's father, but it's a little different." Moreover, there is also a fragrant taste, I drank it at Xi'er's house, but it was delicious. ”
"Is it wine?"
"Yes, yes, yes, that's it. But it's okay, Xi'er can't drink such a delicious thing. Ah, have you ever drunk it? Do you have one? ”
"Nope." Liyan smiled: "Thank you, I see." ”
Xiao Qi tilted his head to look at Liyan, "I don't know what you know, but I'm glad I can help you." ”
"Alright, you can go back."
"I helped you, and you just said thank you?"
"I'll buy you a roast chicken later, okay?"
"Can I drink that fragrant thing?"
"No, you can't." Liyan smiled and rejected it.
"Sugar man with a bunny?"
"That's fine."
After getting Liyan's consent, Xiao Qi happily returned to the box
"You go out and look for it, Wang Tao's soul should still be there." 400
After Yuan Cheng came out through the wall, Chu Yi was surprised: "Is Wang Tao still there?" ”
"I'm at Lanlan's house, and I do feel some breath. The resentment is not heavy, and he has not appeared next to her mother and daughter, I think it is most likely Wang Tao. ”
"Why didn't she go to see them?"
Li Yan rolled his eyes and said, "You also heard what the Zhou family said, he is dead, what can you do when you see them?" It's just a matter of adding to the sorrow. ”
Chu Yi was silent, he knew that what he said was right. Wang Tao is dead after all. He shook his head and didn't think about it anymore, the most important thing for them now was to find the murderer. No, let him kill again.
"Since Xiao Qi smelled medicine here, it means that someone drugged him. Or, drugged, right? ”
"Well, that's what I thought, too."
"Then should we go to the pharmacy now?" Chu Yi said.
"Let's go, let's go and see where the merchant's body was found."
The merchant's body was found two blocks away from Yongcuilou, a green building with many customers. The businessman surnamed Liu is a frequent visitor in the building.
He has a wife and a four-room concubine at home, but he still lingers in the fireworks place.
Moreover, his fourth room and his concubine's room were forcibly married home by him.
The merchant has been married for many years, and his wife and concubine have already given him five daughters, none of whom have a son. In his fourth concubine room, he had three older sisters, all of whom were married, and each family had two sons.
The merchant begged for a son, regardless of the fact that the girl had already been married, so he forcibly married the girl back to his home.
On the day of his death, the girl had been out of house for two months.
The murderer has not yet been caught, and the merchant has not been buried. His wives and concubines drove the woman out of the house, and it is said that they poured her a decoction when she left the house.
Looking at the pale and thin woman in the courtyard, Liyan had mixed feelings in her heart. It looks like she's really pregnant.
Maybe it's a good thing that the kid didn't come into this world. A child who is not expected to be born will have a hard time even if he is born.
"Let's go."
"Why don't you go in and have a look?" Chu Yi asked.
"No, she's not a murderer."
Although they didn't get any clues from the woman, they did get some news from the drugstore.
A few days ago, Zhai Rui went to the pharmacy to buy calming herbs.
"The recipe was written by himself, and I have read it too. Fang Zi is right, you can't drink alcohol after eating, and if you do, it's not just as simple as calming your nerves. ”
"Thank you, doctor."
"Xiao Qi said that he smelled wine at He Zhou's house."
Li Yan turned his head to look at Chu Yi and said, "Let's go to Yongcui Tower first, and then go to Zhai Rui." ”
The scene in the green building is completely different from the outside world, the warbler sings and dances, so lively. The people here don't seem to be affected by the outside world at all. It seems that no matter what happens, it can't disturb their pace of fun.
"Yo, girl, are you in the wrong place, we don't have a man here. Or ......"
Liyan took out a piece of silver and put it in the hands of the old bustard.
"I want to see the girl who served Liu Wei before he died."
The old bustard looked Li Yan up and down, "The girl is from the Yamen?" ”
"That's not it, my friend was put in prison, and the county magistrate charged him with killing Liu Wei. Friends, we have to find a way to get him out. ”
The old bustard nodded and said, "That person is really lucky to have a friend like you." ”
Liyan took out another ingot of silver and handed it to the old bustard.
The old bustard covered his mouth with a fan and chuckled, "I also want to make a friend as heroic and righteous as the girl." ”
"Good luck then."
"Accept your good words. Fluttershy's room is on the second floor, Cloud Word Room 2. ”
"Thank you."
"She's frightened, I can't guarantee whether she'll see you."
Chu Yi glared at her, he gave her money twice, and she even told them this.
"Thanks for letting me know, we'll figure it out."
"Go, I won't delay you in saving people."
