Chapter 190: Encounter with the Killer

Lu Xiushen saw that Bai Haohong was angry, and hurriedly smiled: "Lord Bai, don't be angry. At first, we also suspected that someone could not afford to repay the loan shark, so he took a risk to kill Lord Lei, so we checked all the people on the IOU, and found that they were all helpless people, and it was absolutely impossible for them to be murderers, so I didn't tell you about the IOU. ”

Bai Haohong said: "Since that's the case, forget it." ”

Lu Xiushen asked tentatively, "Lord Bai, have you found any new clues?" ”

Bai Haohong replied: "I asked Lu Lingzhi to recall it carefully, and she said that Master Lei still has a booklet, which is buried on the way to Ling County, which is about half a day's journey. So, early tomorrow morning, I'm going to dig out that booklet with Lu Lingzhi. ”

After Bai Haohong left the Criminal Department, Lu Xiushen really came to find Lu Lingzhi, and he asked Lu Lingzhi with a calm face: "I heard that Master Lei still has a booklet." ”

Lu Lingzhi replied, "Yes." ”

"What's in the booklet?"

"I don't know. However, Master Lei regarded it as very precious, and he put the booklet in a small box, and put the small box in a large box. ”

"Where is the box buried? Draw us a picture. ”

"I can't tell the exact location, I can only remember it when I see it in person."

Lu Xiushen asked again: "Who else knows where the pamphlet is buried?" ”

"When we went back to our hometown in Ling County, the coachman went with us. However, it was quite tiring to ride in the carriage for a long time, and I stopped a few times along the way. During the break, the coachman and we were not together, so the place where the pamphlet was buried was known only to me and the master. ”

After Lu Xiushen left the Lei Mansion, he went straight to the Taishi Mansion, and all of this was seen by Bai Haohong. Bai Haohong came to Lei Mansion again, took Lu Lingzhi to Bai Mansion in a sedan chair, and then told Xu Feiyan a few words. Xu Feiyan tried her best to hide the dissatisfaction in her heart, nodded, and took Lu Lingzhi to the cottage in the back garden.

Soon after Bai Haohong left in a hurry, Bai Wanxiu came to Baifu, Xu Feiyan whispered a few words to Bai Wanxiu, Bai Wanxiu laughed happily after listening to it, and said, "That's it!" ”

On the way to Dali Temple, Bai Haohong noticed that someone was following him. Therefore, he deliberately went to a remote place where there were few people, but the man still only followed from a distance. Bai Haohong saw a tavern on the side of the road, so he walked in, asked for a jar of wine, a few dishes, and ate it. After eating, Bai Haohong pretended to be overwhelmed by the strength of alcohol, and fell asleep on the table.

Suddenly, Bai Haohong felt a strong wind hitting the back of his head, so he flashed to the left, and a steel knife slashed on the table. Bai Haohong reflexively hit the killer's soft numb hole, and asked, "Who are you?" Why assassinate this official! ”

The killer was a young man in his early twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he saw that Bai Haohong was not drunk, and knew that he had been fooled, but he still said loudly without fear: "The eldest husband will not change his name, and he will not change his surname, my name is Gao Yijin, and I am Lu Lingzhi's childhood sweetheart." You used your power to forcibly occupy other people's wives, and you are innocent! ”

Bai Haohong said puzzledly: "You recognize the wrong person." ”

"Nope! I saw with my own eyes that Lu Lingzhi got into a sedan chair and was carried to your house. Not long after her husband died, you dominated her, what a beast. ”

Bai Haohong smiled slightly, unlocked Gao Yijin's acupuncture points, and explained: "Someone wants to kill Lu Lingzhi to extinguish her mouth, and I took her to Baifu to protect her." I will ask Lu Lingzhi about your situation, and if she is also willing, I will fulfill you. ”

Gao Yijin hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, Lord Bai, I misunderstood you, please bear with me!" ”

"Don't be busy saying thank you first, let me ask you, did you go to Ling County two months ago?"

"I've been."

"Have you seen Lord Lei?"

"Yes."

"Where did you see that?"

"At Lord Lei's house. He entrusted us with the Dapeng Dart Bureau to transport a batch of ancient books to the capital, so we went to Lei Mansion to pick up the goods. There, I met Master Lei. ”

"When Lord Lei died, did you stay in Ling County?"

"Yes."

"If you kill Lord Lei, I advise you to turn yourself in immediately."

"Why should I kill Lord Lei?"

"Because, you have special feelings for Lu Lingzhi, and Lord Lei is your stumbling block, so you will kill Lord Lei so that you can marry Lu Lingzhi."

Gao Yijin suddenly became impulsive again, and shouted loudly: "You spew blood!" ”

"Don't get excited. Tell me where you went on the day Lord Lei was killed? What did you do? ”

Gao Yijin realized that the situation was serious, and if he didn't make it, he would be mistaken for a murderer, and if he wanted to clear his name, he had to tell his whereabouts that day clearly.

"Wait, let me think about that day." Gao Yijin lowered his head, thought for a while, and then said: "I work in the Dapeng Dart Bureau, two months ago, I and Ye Dazhi, the owner of the third hall, went to Lingxian County to escort the darts, and we went to a total of four people. After we delivered the darts, we went to the branch to pick up the order. ”

Bai Haohong asked: "Now, has the Dapeng Dart Bureau also opened a branch in Ling County?" ”

"Yes, if someone wants to ship things to the capital, they can go to the branch to place an order first, and after we arrive, we will pick up the goods, and when all the orders are ready, we will send them to the capital together. In order to wait for all the customers' goods to arrive, we stayed at the inn in Lingxian County for two days. When the news of Lord Lei's murder reached the inn, we were all surprised and guessed who had committed the crime. Later, I heard that the murderer was caught, and it was the single shopkeeper of the 'Everyday Restaurant'. Why did Lord Bai catch the murderer again? ”

"The real murderer is not a single shopkeeper. Where were you on the night Lord Ray was killed? ”

"I've been staying at the inn."

"Have you four been together?"

"Cheng Guangwu and I live in one room, and the third hall master and Feng Daniu live in another room."

"Who can prove that you've been staying at the inn?"

"Cheng Guangwu, who is in the same room as me, can prove it."

"I'm going to investigate everything you say. You write a letter to Lu Lingzhi, and I'll give it to her for you. ”

Gao Yijin lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "I can't read, and I can barely write my own name." After a pause, he took off a sachet and continued: "This is a gift from Lingzhi to me, please give this to her, and tell Lingzhi that I will keep my vow and marry her!" ”

Bai Haohong took the sachet and said, "Okay." ”

Besides, Liz was writing in the house, Xu Feiyan sighed and walked in. Lizi put down the pen, leaned back in the chair, stretched her waist, and said, "Sister Feiyan, don't sigh if you're okay!" Otherwise, you will sigh your good luck. ”

Xu Feiyan didn't seem to hear it, and sighed again, and Lizi saw her sad face, so she asked, "What happened?" So unhappy. ”

Xu Feiyan said with a sad face: "Big Brother Bai won't let me tell you." ”

"Is it that Big Brother Bai wants to give me an unexpected surprise and give me an unexpected gift? If that's the case, you don't have to sigh in distress. ”。

"I'll tell you, lest you have delusions and have such unrealistic dreams." Xu Feiyan's face was full of ridicule, and she glanced at Lizi with contemptuous eyes, and then said, "Today, Brother Bai took a concubine. ”
