"Okay, then I'll do my best."

Since the Marquis of Jin Chengdu said so, Lu Yanqing didn't want to shirk too much, so he had to agree to come down, and Lu Yanqing couldn't do this kind of thing if he didn't save him when he saw death.

"Boss, why hasn't there been any progress on the case? Could it be that the clue is broken? Lu Yanqing asked suspiciously.

"That's right." Jin Houcheng bowed slightly, "We interrogated the people of the Zhu Mansion overnight, but we did not find the murderer who poisoned us. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yanqing couldn't help frowning, "Could it be that an outsider committed the crime?" ”

"Very likely."

"That's going to be hard."

If it is committed by an outsider, it is even more difficult to find the murderer in a short time.

"Boss, the murderer's modus operandi and its timing, he must have visited Zhu's mansion the day before the crime, and he can use this as a clue to investigate." Lu Yanqing suggested loudly.

Although it is not ruled out that the murderer may be hiding in the Zhu Mansion in advance and waiting for an opportunity to commit the murder, it is better than being anxious at this time, and no clues can be let go at this time.

"I have sent someone to investigate this matter."

Jin Houcheng and Lu Yanqing's thoughts coincided, but Jin Houcheng only got this clue after hard thinking and meditation, which was far less rapid than Lu Yanqing's reaction.

"The ice cellar can also be investigated, it is a necessary place for the murderer to pass, and it is very likely that he will leave clues there."

At this time, Lu Yanqing's brain was running rapidly, and he put forward another clue.

This clue was never imagined by Jin Houcheng, so he said: "You go with me to investigate." ”

"Okay."

After answering, Lu Yanqing followed the Marquis of Jin into the Zhu Mansion, and walked straight towards the ice cellar under the leadership of the Zhu Mansion maid.

The ice cellar is located in the basement of the back kitchen of the dining room, adjacent to the wine cellar, which is more convenient to access.

As soon as he entered the ice cellar, he felt a chill rushing to his face, Lu Yanqing's clothes were very thin, and he couldn't help but shiver.

By the light of the torches, the ice cellar was filled with brick-sized squares of ice, apparently specially made and stored here in winter.

Subsequently, Lu Yanqing and the Marquis of Jin opened an investigation.

Lu Yanqing walked quickly to the ice, only to see some broken ice and a chisel on it, but there was nothing abnormal other than that, and there was no clue to speak of.

Jin Houcheng, on the other hand, squatted down to investigate the ground, which was relatively wet, and it was easy to leave footprints on the floor tiles.

But the footprints on the ground are very messy, and it is obvious that many people will come to this ice cellar to get ice, and it is impossible to tell who the murderer is by the footprints.

After getting up, Jin Houcheng and Lu Yanqing looked at each other, Lu Yanqing shook his head slightly at Jin Houcheng, and neither of them gained anything.

Out of the ice cellar, Lu Yanqing fell into deep thought, but he didn't think of any new clues.

But at this moment, the bad people who went out to investigate turned back, and Lu Yanqing and Jin Houcheng, who received the news, hurried over.

"What did you find?"

Jin Houcheng asked the bad people who came out a little eagerly, but he saw the bad people shaking their heads with a depressed expression, which made Jin Hou Cheng's expression dim.

"Boss, the guests who visited Zhu's Mansion on the day of the crime and three days ago have been interrogated, and there is no murderer among them."

Since the murderer was not among the visitors, it means that the murderer had infiltrated the Zhu Mansion before the murder, and the case had developed to the worst situation after all.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yanqing said in a deep voice: "Boss, send someone to the surrounding area to inquire if there were any strange people around the Zhu Mansion a few days before the incident. ”

Six days have passed since the incident, and it is somewhat too late to investigate the matter now, but Jin Houcheng still agreed, and immediately ordered several people in front of him to investigate.

After a few bad people left, Lu Yanqing sat down on a stone bench in the shade of a tree and analyzed the case from the beginning.

Jin Houcheng did not urge, but sat aside and waited.

Being anxious in such a situation has no effect, but rather makes people more and more desperate.

He is not afraid of death, but he feels a little ashamed of his colleagues, so Jin Houcheng is still very calm compared to those bad people who are struggling to survive.

But when Lu Yanqing came back to his senses, the time had come to noon, and Lu Yanqing smelled the aroma of the food before he realized that he had been thinking for too long.

"Let's eat some."

Jin Houcheng put the meal on the stone table between the two and greeted Lu Yanqing.

Lu Yanqing bowed slightly, apologized, and scratched his head a little embarrassed, "It's already noon, I didn't pay attention." ”

"It doesn't matter." Jin Houcheng waved his hand unimpressedly.

Since he sat down, Lu Yanqing has been thinking about the case, and Jin Houcheng on the side naturally sees these in his eyes again, how can he blame Lu Yanqing?

After all, this is not Lu Yanqing's responsibility, if Lu Yanqing does not agree to Jin Houcheng's request, he can completely stay out of the matter, so even if Lu Yanqing is in a daze, Jin Houcheng will be grateful, not to mention that Lu Yanqing is thinking about the case.

"Do you have any clues?"

Although he knew the result, Jin Houcheng couldn't help but ask.

Lu Yanqing smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Not really." ”

Now it is almost certain that the murderer is an outsider, but there is no clue, so if you think of finding the murderer, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

There was not much time left, and a few bad people were sitting in the distance, picking up rice in their mouths without appetite, always paying attention to the movements of Jin Houcheng and Lu Yanqing, and their expressions looked restless.

At this moment, the bad guy named Xiaoliu suddenly came over with a plate and said to Jin Houcheng: "Boss, this is what I specially asked the cook to serve, and I will pour it on you." ”

As he spoke, he saw Xiao Liu pour the vegetable soup on the plate on the rice in front of Jin Houcheng.

Seeing this situation, Lu Yanqing couldn't help but be slightly stunned, something suddenly flashed in his head, but Lu Yanqing didn't catch it.

Jin Houcheng noticed the look on Lu Yanqing's face, thinking that Lu Yanqing was surprised by his way of eating, so he explained: "This white rice is dry and tasteless, which makes me a little difficult to swallow, and it will be better to pour some vegetable soup, this is a habit of mine." ”

"Habit? That's right, it's habit! It's a habit! ”

Lu Yanqing got up suddenly, and shouted loudly with excitement on his face, which immediately attracted the sideways glances of the people around him.

What can make Lu Yanqing so excited, could it be that Lu Yanqing has discovered new clues?

"Yanqing, what did you think of?" Jin Houcheng hurriedly asked.

Lu Yanqing nodded solemnly, "Boss, please come with me to verify." ”

"Okay."

With that, Lu Yanqing walked quickly into the room on the side, followed by Jin Houcheng.

Other bad people also wanted to join in the fun, but they were rejected by Jin Houcheng, so they had no choice but to wait in front of the door.

After all, this is their hope, and they don't want to wait for a moment......
