Lu Xiushen was still skeptical of Bai Haohong's judgment, so he said: "However, I compared the handwriting of the note in Lord Lei's case and found that it was the same as the handwriting in the mouths of these five people in the rivers and lakes. ”

Bai Haohong said: "The characters on the note are standard block letters and are easy to imitate, so handwriting cannot be used as a basis for judgment. ”

"In addition, Lord Lei and those five people all have seventeen wounds on their bodies, is this also an imitation?"

"Yes. The five masters of the rivers and lakes were all killed with one sword, and then they were stabbed with sixteen swords; And the seventeen sword wounds on Lord Lei's body were not fatal. ”

"What Lord Bai means is that there are people from the Dilong Gang in our Criminal Department who have revealed the details of Lord Lei's case."

"The Earth Dragons are everywhere."

"But why did the Earth Dragon Gang make the illusion of serial killing?"

"In order to help their single shopkeeper get away with it. At that time, the Criminal Department determined that the shopkeeper Shan was the murderer who killed Lord Lei, so when the Dilong Gang got rid of the five masters of the rivers and lakes, they deliberately imitated the way Lord Lei was killed, and made the illusion that Lord Lei died as a serial killer, in order to make us think that the shopkeeper Shan was innocent. ”

Lu Xiushen finally nodded and said, "It makes sense." After a pause, he asked, "Lord Lei's case, where is Lord Bai going to start?" ”

"I'm going to go to Lei Mansion first."

Bai Haohong was busy with the case, Du Yiming was not idle, he came to Dali Temple, found Bai Wanxiu, lowered his voice and asked: "Bai Zhutou, I have important information about Brother Bai, and I will give you a preferential price." ”

Bai Wanxiu raised his head, glanced at Du Yiming, and replied: "You Du Yiming, who loves to take advantage, Feiyan told me about the situation of you eating rice." After saying that, he lowered his head and looked at the file again.

Du Yiming didn't feel embarrassed, and said again: "Is the information from competitors reliable?" ”

"It's not reliable, I can tell. There is nothing in the White Mansion that I don't know about. Bai Wanxiu replied without raising his head.

Du Yiming was prepared, and then said: "Your real opponent is Liz, you should already know that Liz and I are best friends, and we know her situation well." Don't you want to know, Liz's real weakness? ”

Sure enough, Bai Wanxiu raised his head, Du Yiming saw that there was a door, and was about to negotiate the price, when he saw Bai Haohong coming in, he hurriedly said softly: "Let's talk next time." ”

Bai Haohong thought that Du Yiming was looking for him, and said to him: "I'm busy, if you have something to say, say something quickly." ”

Du Yiming replied, "It's nothing. I passed by Dali Temple, and by the way, I asked if Brother Bai was working overtime today. ”

"If I don't work overtime today, I'm going to Lei Mansion soon."

"Got it. Then you are busy, I'm leaving. ”

After Du Yiming left, Bai Haohong said to Bai Wanxiu: "Yiming loves to gossip, so I didn't bother you." ”

Bai Wanxiu replied: "It's okay." Big Brother Bai, I'll go to Lei Mansion with you. ”

"Let's go together."

Bai Haohong and Bai Wanxiu came to Lei Bangrong's home in the capital, and because Mrs. Lei was in her hometown, Lei Bangrong's favorite concubine Lu Lingzhi received them.

As soon as Lu Lingzhi saw Bai Haohong, tears flowed down his eyes, and he said excitedly: "Engong, do you still remember me?" ”

Bai Haohong looked at Lu Lingzhi carefully, and then remembered that he had saved Lu Lingzhi from the scoundrel, at that time, Lu Lingzhi wanted to make a promise, Bai Haohong did not accept it, but sent her home.

"Lu Lingzhi!" Bai Haohong said: "I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

"Two years ago, Master Lei accepted me as a concubine, but I didn't forget my grandfather for a moment in my heart......"

Bai Haohong coughed, interrupted Lu Lingzhi's words, and asked, "Before Lord Lei was killed, it was not a mistake to go to his hometown Ling County, do you know the purpose of his trip?" ”

Lu Lingzhi glanced at Bai Wanxiu and said, "I want to say it to Engong alone." ”

"This is the white catcher, she is very reliable, you can rest assured." Bai Haohong said this deliberately, thinking: "If this case involves the Dilong Gang, just look at who Bai Wanxiu contacts." ”

But Lu Lingzhi lowered his head and didn't speak again, Bai Wanxiu saw this situation and said to Bai Haohong: "I'll wait for you outside." With that, he went out.

"You can say it." Bai Haohong asked.

"Engong, in the world, I only believe in you, and I have never told anyone this secret. Others thought that Master Lei was a close confidant of Master Xiang, but in fact, he was the person of the late Prime Minister Li, and Master Lei approached Master Xiang to find evidence of Master Xiang's crimes. Master Lei has a pamphlet that records some things that are unfavorable to Master Xiang, however, these things alone are not enough to bring down Master Xiang. ”

Bai Haohong was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Where is this booklet?" ”

"Master Ray sandwiched it in a book. The people from the Criminal Department turned this place upside down, and they may have searched it. ”

"Has Master Xiang sensed Lord Lei's intentions?"

"There shouldn't be, because Master Xiang still regards Master Lei as a confidant. However, when Master Lei returned to his hometown of Ling County, he seemed to be very bored. ”

"Why are you upset?"

"I asked, but Master Lei didn't say."

"Why did Lord Lei go to Ling County?"

"He said he was going to relax."

"Lord Lei said, are you dissatisfied with anyone?"

"It's mainly Master Xiang, who always asks him to do something that ignores his conscience, and he is very distressed."

Bai Haohong asked again: "We want to find clues again, is it okay?" ”

"Of course you can, it's just that the Criminal Department searched once, and everything that should be taken was taken."

"Do you know what the Criminal Department has taken?"

"Took a lot of IOUs."

"I heard that Lord Lei secretly lends money to usury, are those IOUs?"

"Yes, but the master is a usury for Xiang Taishi, and a black pot for Xiang Taishi."

Bai Haohong called Bai Wanxiu in and searched for clues together, but the two of them searched through the Lei Mansion and found nothing valuable.

Bai Haohong pondered: "This case involves Xiang Lao Thief again, could it be that Xiang Lao Thief sent someone to kill Master Lei?" In the case file that Lu Xiushen handed over to me, there was neither the pamphlet nor the IOU, and it seemed that Lu Xiushen was an old thief. Originally, he was in charge of Lord Lei's case, and nine times out of ten, Lu Xiushen dedicated the booklet to Xiang Lao Thief. I don't know what is recorded in Lord Lei's booklet. I have to think of a way to let Lu Xiushen show the fox's tail first. ”

Bai Haohong thought for a while, and said to Lu Lingzhi: "Stay for a while, the people from the Criminal Department will come, and you just say so to them." ”

Lu Lingzhi replied, "Okay, I remember. ”。

After Bai Haohong left the Lei Mansion, he came to the Criminal Department again, and said to Lu Xiushen with dissatisfaction: "The Criminal Department has searched all the IOUs of Lord Lei, and they won't tell me. In the case file, there are no IOUs, so how can I find the murderer? ”
