Chapter 23: The answer to the mystery lies in a well
In the face of Lu Siliang's offensive of hiding needles, Han Dongting also said bluntly: "Lu Xiang, don't hide it, there was a homicide in Tianxiang Pavilion last night, and three people died......"
Lu Siliang smiled and said, "And then he was arrested and took away a woman in the Qinglou, right?" ”
Han Dongting was stunned and said, "Lu Xiang, you know? ”
Gu Changan said in his heart, this old fox's intelligence network is quite developed.
Lu Siliang shook his head with a smile, did not rush to reply, first slowly and methodically picked up the teacup in front of him, took a shallow sip, and then said with a stick: "A woman in the Qinglou can make your Han Dongting tired, and the Guangming Temple is really getting more and more prosperous under your Han Dongting's rule!" ”
At this time, the Tianxuan Daoist who was silent on the side also shot his gaze at Ling Xuozi, his face gloomy: "Third Senior Brother, so over the years, you have investigated this kind of case with the Guangming Temple?" Master's face has been lost to you! ”
Ling Xuzi's face was slightly embarrassed, but he didn't reply directly.
Han Dongting has always been vigorous in handling cases, but he said unceremoniously: "Lu Xiang, although this case is not big, it is related to the reputation of Guangming Temple. After the thieves and hostages disappeared, all clues pointed to Lu Xiangfu. If this kind of scum really appeared under Lu Xiang's command, presumably Lu Xiang wouldn't be able to rub such sand in his eyes, right? ”
Lu Siliang let out two faint snorts, but the smile on his face did not decrease: "I still suspect that the head of the true phase is coming!" Then look it up, I'll only give you half a pillar of incense. If you do find something, you will not tolerate it. If you can't find it, then the picture can only be sent away. ”
Manager Guo looked embarrassed: "Lu Xiang ......"
Lu Siliang slowly put down the teacup in his hand: "Let them check." ”
Han Dongting immediately glanced at Ling Xuozi, who was traveling with him, who re-removed the feng shui plate from his waist and continued to pursue the whereabouts of the scent of Shen Lingyin, the new Oiran of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.
Ling Xuzi muttered, "It should be over here......"
Han Dongting, Gao Sheng, Gu Changan and his entourage followed him out of the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, all the way through the corridor, and rushed to a side courtyard in the East Wing.
The people of Guangming Temple blatantly investigated the case in Lu Xiang's mansion, which naturally attracted many onlookers. The manager Guo also hurried over, with a nervous look on his face, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Gu Changan pondered, this Manager Guo looked unnatural from the beginning...... There must be something wrong with him!
In the end, Ling Xuzi led the group of Guangming Temple to a well in the courtyard of the East Wing. He circled around the well with feng shui, and the compass pointer always pointed to the well, and said with surprise and joy: "It's not wrong, it's this well!" ”
Gu Changan came to this well, looked down, a secluded cold air came to his face, and his cheeks were cold, but this well was dark and seemed to be bottomless.
"That Lingyin girl shouldn't ...... Killed by thieves and sunk to the bottom of the well, right? ”
Palm Night made Zhou Tong couldn't help but let out a question, but everyone present couldn't help but be a little worried.
Although they are not related to this new Oiran, she is a beautiful woman with both color and art.
Not all men in this world will pity the jade, but if you really see such a woman die of incense, it is difficult not to be moved.
At this tense moment, Ling Xuzi put away the feng shui plate and sacrificed a Xuanji mirror out of thin air. With the blessing of mana, this mirror magic weapon flew to the top of the deep well, shooting out a snow-white and translucent pillar of light towards the bottom of the well.
Several people held their breath and leaned over to the well again......
"One Shoe ?!!"
Everyone was stunned.
Ling Xuzi pinched the magic trick tightly, and under the urging of spiritual power, Xuanji Mirror slowly sucked up the embroidered shoe that floated on the well like a small boat.
He held the Xuanji mirror in one hand and the wet women's embroidered shoes in the other, and muttered to himself as if he was thinking twice: "No wonder the smell is so strong, the hands on the feng shui plate have not deviated from the beginning to the ......end."
Nonsense! Daring! How could a little fairy have smelly feet......
Gu Changan faintly agreed: "This thief's anti-reconnaissance ability is quite strong. ”
In the midst of the group's crying and laughing, Lu Siliang also quickly came, and when he saw this scene, his face immediately sank: "Manager Guo, you immediately recruit the people in the house to investigate one by one to see who did it." ”
Manager Guo's face changed, and he immediately knelt down to Lu Siliang, knocked his head and kowtowed, crying and mourning: "Master, I admit it, I admit it, this is the villain's doing, please spare the villain's life!" ”
It's really you...... This is completely consistent with Gu Changan's initial suspicions.
Lu Siliang said sharply: "In front of all the people in the Guangming Temple, explain what is going on!" ”
Manager Guo explained: "On the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion from outside this morning, the villain was suddenly strangled by a mysterious person from behind, and then a dagger was put against the villain's throat. The villain was half scared to death at that time, and he didn't even dare to take a breath of air!
Then the man shoved a woman's embroidered shoe into the villain's hand, and threatened the villain to take it into the prime minister's mansion and find a random place to hide it. At that time, the villain's life was hanging by a thread, and afterwards he was afraid that the person would turn back and retaliate, how dare he disobey? So he smuggled the woman's embroidered shoes into the Prime Minister's Mansion and threw them into the well in the courtyard of the East Wing......"
Speaking of this, he tilted his face slightly again, and glanced at Lu Siliang as if pleading: "Master, there have always been few people walking around in this side courtyard of the East Wing, and this well has been abandoned for many years. The villain's choice to throw it in this well was also well thought out...... Can you give the villain a lighter punishment for this part? ”
His subtext: Until now, no one in the house has drunk beriberi water, I am innocent, I am not guilty!
Ren is Lu Siliang is usually good at cultivating his qi, and when he encounters this kind of absurd thing, he can't help but turn slightly pale, and continues to shout in a deep voice: "Then you will explain to all the leaders of the Guangming Temple, what are the characteristics of the mysterious person who coerced you!" ”
Mr. Guo's eyes were empty, and he recalled: "The mysterious man coerced the villain from behind, and the villain couldn't see the person's appearance and clothes clearly. But his voice was deep and hoarse...... Oh yes, the hand he held the dagger with a darker complexion and a lot of wrinkles. Therefore, the villain speculates that he must be an old man of a certain age. ”
Gu Changan asked again: "Then have you seen the color of his sleeve clearly?" ”
Manager Guo's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied, "Black!" ”
Han Dongting, Gao Sheng, Ling Xuzi and their entourage all set their eyes on Gu Changan......
Gu Changan gave his conclusion with a relaxed face: "I can't be wrong, it should be the mysterious black-robed man who rescued Zhao Sishui and kidnapped Miss Lingyin." ”
