Chapter 61: Suicide or Murder? (Ask for favorites and push!) )

When Bao Qing and Zhanzhao Zhanfei hurried to the Li Mansion, Yin Chenglin, the Kaifeng Mansion, had already personally brought people to investigate.

"Oh? Is the news of Lieutenant Bao really fast? Cheng Lin teased when she saw Bao Qing.

"Where is, happen to pass by, pass by! Hehe! After Bao Qing finished speaking, he kept sticking his head out to look in.

Cheng Lin didn't have a good impression of Bao Qing, he and Wang Su were good friends, and it was really annoying to see that Bao Qing had obviously come all the way and pretended to be passing by.

"Then the county lieutenant will pass by! Sorry, I'll have to go in and check it out! Cheng Lin didn't look back after speaking, and went directly into the Li Mansion.

Seeing this, Bao Qing hurriedly took Zhanzhao Zhanfei and wanted to follow in, but was stopped by the gatekeeper.

"What's the matter, can't you go in and see? I'm also an official! "Bao Qing regretted a little, he should have come in an official uniform, but unfortunately this Song Dynasty official does not have an official certificate, which is really troublesome.

Zhan Zhao hurriedly took out a waist card from his arms, but it was the waist card of the head catcher in Changchang County, Luzhou. Zhan Zhao handed over the waist card.

"What brand is this? It doesn't work! Let's go! Don't you see that our adults don't like you? Otherwise, I would have invited you to go in and have a look! The doorkeeper said.

"Hey! You can see it clearly as a gatekeeper. So what if I have to go in? Bao Qing was a little angry, how could he have encountered some undealing lords in the past two days.

After Bao Qing finished speaking, he rushed inside, and when he saw this, he wanted to draw a knife, but he had already been unloaded by Zhanfei on the side, and he screamed in pain.

"Good skill! I didn't expect any entourage around Master Bao to be so powerful! Bao Qing looked at it and felt a little embarrassed, wasn't that Cao Xi, the father of the Cao sisters?

Bao Qing arched his hand and said, "What a coincidence, where is the general going?" ”

"What a coincidence, the old man is here to chase you, I guessed that you would come to the Li Mansion. Why, my daughter's kidnapping is not going to be investigated? Is the case too small? But he came to the Li Mansion to join in the fun. ”

"Where, no, I want to go in, but I'm blocked out!" Bao Qing pretended to be helpless.

"Hmph, these people are looking down on people, Lord Bao, come, the old man will take you in!" After Cao Xi finished speaking, he strode into the gate of the Li Mansion, and Bao Qing followed.

Li Hai died in the study, and when Bao Qing and the others arrived, the scene had been destroyed by the capture brought by Yin Chenglin of Kaifeng Mansion.

Bao Qing looked carefully, Li Hai was sitting on the chair in front of the desk, his head was slightly upward, as if he was thinking about something, but his face was extremely ugly. Bao Qing stepped forward lightly, cautiously approaching the dead Lehi, and looking carefully, there seemed to be a kind of unwillingness and anger on Lehi's face.

Hey! The side of Lehi's mouth was a little red and swollen, as if it was burned by something.

Bao Qing turned around and looked around again, this study was quite messy, books were placed everywhere, the floor seemed to have not been cleaned for a while, and there were some official documents from the Ministry of Industry scattered on the desk. In the center of the table was a teapot with a long spout, which was supposed to be used by Li Hai for tea.

Bao Qing saw that this teapot was a little peculiar, and it was estimated that the burn on Li Hai's mouth was burned by the spout of this teapot. Bao Qinggang wanted to pick up the teapot and take a closer look.

"Don't move, just look at it, why are you doing it? Besides, Lord Bao, you don't seem to need to come to the capital to investigate the case. Cheng Lin spoke unceremoniously, and Bao Qing had no choice but to retract his hand when he heard this.

"Hmph, isn't it Kaifeng Mansion Yin? How many big cases have you ever broken? We're here to help, do you know? I really don't know what to do! Zhanfei had already seen that Cheng Lin was not pleasing to the eye.

"Heh, I didn't expect the old man to use a yellow-haired boy to teach him a lesson."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Cao Xi couldn't help frowning, and said to Cheng Lin: "Don't call the old man and the old man!" Wouldn't you just take a look here? Is that what you use? If you want me to say, don't be angry with you, Cheng Lin is still angry, just the year you did Kaifeng Mansion Yin, isn't it just to help people find the missing puppy, which girl has been molested again, you go and make mud. You Kaifeng Mansion really haven't encountered any major cases. My daughter was kidnapped, which can be regarded as a big case in Bianjing. Let me ask you Cheng Lin, when will you catch the murderer for me? ”

That Cheng Lin was speechless when Cao Xi said it, wasn't it? This Kaifeng Mansion Yin usually seems to be doing these things. But this can't all be blamed on him, didn't all the governors of previous years come like this? The key is that the water in the capital is too deep, and there are officials everywhere who are bigger than themselves, and when they encounter something, it is their turn to make their own decisions.

"Haha, there's nothing to say! Brother Bao, come, what's so nice about this teapot. Zhanfei stretched out his hand and took the teapot directly and wanted to hand it to Bao Qing, but he didn't know that his hand slipped, fell to the ground, and was immediately torn apart.

"You! Master Bao, your entourage is too bold! Cheng Lin shouted.

Bao Qing smiled slightly when he heard this, and said to Zhanfei: "It's okay, let Kaifeng Mansion quote a price, how much is it, we will pay according to the price!" ”

"Lord Bao, you see, this Lehi really knows how to choose the time, and he just got the news from the palace, and it is estimated that he will come to the holy decree in the afternoon, and it is estimated that he has heard that he is going to be dismissed, so he committed suicide. Isn't there a saying, people? It's better to die than to live. Cao Xi said with emotion.

"I have just seen that Lehi probably committed suicide by poisoning himself near noon. The teapot that your entourage broke by mistake just now is the teapot from which Lehi drank tea. It was found that the tea was poisonous. Cheng Lin said.

"How can you conclude that Lehi committed suicide?" Bao Qing looked around and didn't find anything else.

"Needless to say, after this Lehi learned that he was going to be dismissed, he must have been unable to stand it, so he couldn't think about it for a while, so he committed suicide by taking poison!" Cheng Lin said.

Bao Qing shook his head and said: "This is not enough to determine that Lehi committed suicide, this kind of thing cannot be just conjecture, there must be corresponding evidence." Lord Fu Yin, if we don't make a bet, I bet that this Li Hai will not commit suicide. ”

"Okay, I'll bet with you, if you lose, you will have a hundred flowers banquet in Shenglong Tower in Bianjing!" Cheng Lin said.

"Well, I want all of Lehi's servants to come here to answer my questions, I don't know if it's okay?" Bao Qing asked.

"Absolutely! I want to see how Bao Shenduan investigates the case! Someone came, and called all the servants and maids of the Li Mansion to me for questioning. Cheng Lin sneered.

Cao Xi quietly pulled Bao Qing's sleeve and whispered: "You really gamble, do you know what the Hundred Flowers Banquet is?" ”

"What? It's just a feast! ”

"Just a feast? The Hundred Flowers Banquet is to let a hundred flower-like beauties accompany you to eat? The most distinguished banquet in Shenglong Building! ”

"A hundred beauties? Haha, good, good! Bao Qing laughed loudly.

"Don't be complacent, I've called you all the people!"

Bao Qing glanced at it, and there were about eleven or twelve people.

"Usually, who are you to clean this study, and who is to serve Li Shilang's diet and daily life." Bao Qing asked.

The dozen or so servants and maids looked at each other, and an older servant came out, bowed, and said to Bao Qing: "This lord, I usually serve the lord's diet and daily life, and the master's study is generally never let people in, so we haven't cleaned it." ”

"Oh? Tell me in detail, what are your lord's hobbies and habits? ”

"It's hard to say!"

"If you want to say it, what is not so easy to say?" Zhanfei was a little anxious.

"This, the master usually likes the little orchid in Sheng Longlou, and often goes to see her secretly." As soon as the butler finished speaking, the servants below laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Sir, we all know about this! That little orchid is actually equivalent to the master's concubine! ”

"What other hobbies? Do you guys usually like to drink tea? Bao Qing asked.

"Yes, the master usually likes tea very much, as long as he enters the study, this tea will continue." The butler replied.

"Then tell me, will your master not want to poison his own tea, and then drink it to commit suicide?"

"This!" The housekeeper hesitated a little, "I can't tell you this, I'm afraid that after hearing the news of the dismissal, the master won't be able to stand the blow!" ”

"You mean, you also think that your master can't stand the blow and commits suicide?" Bao Qing asked.

Cheng Lin interrupted Bao Qing with a sneer and said, "Look at it, the housekeeper thinks so too!" ”

Bao Qing smiled: "Sometimes, what everyone thinks is not necessarily the truth!" ”

Bao Qing continued to say to the housekeeper: "Your adults usually drink tea, they all like to drink warm tea, and he hates hot tea the most, so he is also used to drinking warm tea!" ”

"Hey, my lord, how did you find out?" The official was a little surprised.

"And just recently, the tea you served was actually freshly brewed hot tea, and your master took a sip of it, and then burned his mouth, so he scolded you very angrily!" Bao Qing asked again.

The housekeeper didn't squeak, but the other maids and servants interjected: "Yes, we heard the old man's scolding, saying that the tea was too hot, and we wanted to burn him to death!" ”

"Yes, I was really careless today, and I didn't send the tea until it was cold." The butler said.

"You're lying!" Bao Qing suddenly shouted.
