Li Xuan turned his head and asked the old bustard not far away: "May I ask who is in charge of the saltpeter in your building?

At this time, it was already June, and the ice cellars of most rich and noble families were no longer filled with ice, and this Lanyue Tower was no exception. However, Lanyue Lou is making money every day, and the rich can use saltpeter to make ice every day for guests to use.

"Saltpeter?"

The old bustard groaned for a while: "I have always been in charge of the procurement in this building, please wait a moment." ”

She left the crowd and returned to the hall after about a quarter of an hour. When she came back, her expression was very strange: "Only three hundred catties of saltpeter entered the building yesterday." But I just compared the accounts, and the inventory is less than thirty-five catties. ”

Li Xuan's spirit perked up: "Thirty-five catties of saltpeter combined with well water are enough to make a large ice cube." Another example is to cut the ice cube into a palm shape and press it on the deceased's back for a long time, which can also cause this red spot palm print on the corpse. Just now I was wondering, the shape of the palm marks is wrong, and there are no traces of the metacarpophalangeal joints, so I know that this is a false accusation! And even if my guess is wrong, how do I know that there is no other person in this building who is good at cold palm power?"

As soon as his voice fell, Peng Fulai and Zhang Taishan beside him were relieved and relaxed. But after this, they all looked at Li Xuan with a little surprise, as if they were a little incredulous, the Li Xuan and Li Qianzhi in their memories had no such ability.

Situ Zhong's eyes were still cold: "Even if you are reasonable, but the suspicion is still there, it is difficult to say that this is not something you did on purpose to confuse the public." ”

"What kind of confusion is this, I think you are messing around!" Jiang Hanyun's eyes swept over with displeasure: "If you dare to talk more, believe it or not, I will slash you with a knife." ”

Situ Zhongya's gang agitated, looking at Jiang Hanyun's eyes, it seemed that he wanted to choose someone to eat, but he finally endured it and hugged his fist towards Jiang Hanyun: "Then the humble position will wait for the captain to find out the real murderer." ”

"Don't just watch, you have to be obedient. Jiang Hanyun snorted, and then looked at Li Xuan with a smile: "Don't listen to his noise, let's investigate the case directly and find out the murderer." ”

"Obey orders!" Li Xuan bowed, and then felt that something was wrong: "Lord Captain, dare to ask when the people of our Six Dao Division will arrive?"

Jiang Hanyun shook her head, and said softly: "There is no one else, just the two of us." Just now, more than half of the people in the Vermilion Bird Hall were transferred to the river, saying that there was a shocking case today, and they had to pull a net to search on the river. ”

Li Xuan was stunned for a while, thinking to himself that it was only the two of them, so what should I do?

In his previous life, Li Xuan was just a forensic doctor, and his boss was only famous for his martial arts, so he didn't hear that she had any strengths in detection.

As for these public servants in Ying Tianfu next to them, it would be very good not to make trouble for them.

Li Xuan then thought of something, and moved his gaze to Jiang Hanyun's shoulder, thinking that it wouldn't be?

"Don't worry, this case is very simple, easy to solve!"

Jiang Hanyun really took off the three-tailed spirit fox on her shoulder, and then pointed to Cui Hongshu's corpse with one hand, and drank the word 'go'.

But then Jiang Hanyun's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, just because the three-tailed spirit fox didn't move at all, it lazily shrunk its body into a ball, and swayed its three little tails leisurely.

Li Xuan was speechless for a while, and in the afterglow of his perspective, he could even see that Situ Zhong was looking at the two of them with interest.

"You little glutton!" Jiang Hanyun sighed, took out a red pill from his sleeve, and brought it to Linghu's mouth: "Hurry up and do things after eating, don't be lazy." ”

But the three-tailed spirit fox was as cold as ever, and he still didn't move.

"Uh-" Jiang Hanyun was puzzled at first, then frowned, and the cracks on the floor beneath her feet continued to expand in the sound of 'clicking'.

"Don't go too far, little Leilei. So many people are watching, so I can save face. ”

"My lord!" Li Xuan couldn't stand it anymore, he quietly approached the ear of the silver-armored girl: "This corpse has been soaked in water for two or three hours, although your spirit pet is the divine beast Bai Ze, I'm afraid you won't be able to smell anything." ”

Jiang Hanyun's movements suddenly froze, her eyes were ignorant, and her face turned blue and white.

After about thirty breaths, the silver-armored girl put the spirit fox back on her shoulder casually, and then asked Li Xuan in a smile and whispered: "Inspector Li, I'll test you a question." What are we supposed to do at this point according to normal procedures?"

"This-"

Li Xuan felt that he was very square: "If we have six Dao Divisions, there is really no one available. Your Excellency, why don't you ask the Nanjing Criminal Department for help?

In the next words, Li Xuan obediently swallowed them back into his stomach, and he saw an amazing murderous aura in Jiang Hanyun's eyes.

Li Xuan's scalp tingled for a while: "Why don't you record a confession first? We need to know the location, whereabouts, alibi, and even eyewitnesses of everyone in this building at the time of the crime." And who stole the missing saltpeter? Also, it's better to be able to disembowel the autopsy. ”

Previously, his autopsy was only limited to Cui Hongshu's extracorporeal part. And if the deceased is to be disemboweled, the permission of the immediate family must be obtained.

Li Xuan estimated that Cui's would not agree, but it would be okay to try to ask.

As far as Li Xuan knew, Cui Hongshu's mother, Lord Boping, lived in the capital all the year round, and his father Cui Chengyou seemed to be out on official business and was not in Nanjing.

However, the Six Dao Divisions have the immortal method of thousands of miles of communication, and contacting Cui Hongshu's immediate family is not a problem for them at all.

※※※※

Half a moment later, Li Xuan sat in the hall of Lanyue Tower, watching the officials of Ying Tianfu inquire about the relevant people of Lanyue Tower.

He was completely at ease with these dukes under Situ Zhong, so he could only be present to supervise them in person.

Li Xuan was particularly concerned about Situ Zhong, and in order to save time, he divided everyone into ten groups, one of which Situ Zhong was personally in charge of, and this group had direct contact with Cui Hongshu.

"Tell me, where was it around yesterday's ugly hour, and is there anyone witnessing it?"

The first thing Situ Zhong asked was a Nanjing Guozi prison student who lived in room A on the third floor and came with Cui Hongshu.

"I took the girl back to the room on the second watch day (half past nine o'clock in the night), and I haven't seen Cui Hongshu since then, and this has Cuiluo girl testified to me, and we have always been together. ”

Situ Zhong continued to ask, "So can you hear anything unusual outside at night?"

The prisoner frowned: "Does someone snore all night? From the end of the morning until dawn, like thunder, it never stopped." It's next door to me, in the B-shaped room on the third floor, and I don't know which one of the turtle grandsons who lacks virtue makes me feel weak all night!"

Zhang Taishan was originally listening happily, but when he heard the B-shaped room on the third floor, his eyes suddenly sank slightly, and he stared at the prisoner with a fierce light.

Next was the girl Cuiluo who lived in the same room, and her voice was soft and weak: "I also didn't go out of the room after the second watch." Han Gongzi was right, because the snoring sounded all night, I didn't hear any movement outside. ”

After that, it was the turn of Zhang Yue and Zhang Taishan, who were in the B-shaped room on the third floor: "I should have returned to the room at the end of the day, and I was in the room all night, and the dream girl and her maid could testify to me." ”

Situ Zhong's eyes rolled up: "At the end of the day, that is, sleeping and snoring all night?"

"How is that possible?"

Zhang Taishan was indignant: "They are slandering!"

Situ Zhong simply looked sideways at the woman next to him with the flower name 'Meng Xingyan': "What were you doing last night?"

Meng Xingyan glanced at Zhang Taishan lazily, and shrugged her shoulders calmly, "Snoring, sleep!"

This name is very good, and she is also a very beautiful and delicate woman, she covered her lips with a fan, and smiled sarcastically and self-deprecatingly: "The charm of the slave family is insufficient, Zhang Gongzi fell asleep as soon as he entered the room, because the snoring was too loud, the slave family had no choice but to make do with the maid in the ear room outside." ”

Li Xuan couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and Peng Fulai next to him was even more stunned: "Have you been sleeping all night? He is simply a tyrannical thing, which is even more excessive than you are Qianzhi." This dream girl is a little younger, and she will definitely be the head of Lanyue Building in the future. ”

"Tsk, so this is what is called one night Kujiro. ”

Li Xuan smiled without a warm 'hehe': "The dragon is alive!"

But then he found that after Peng Fulai finished his exclamation, his expression seemed to be a little wrong, so he asked curiously: "What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly in so much cold sweat? Isn't it also blowing nonsense?"

"How is that possible?"

Peng Fulai first subconsciously denied it, but then added a sentence: "It's just not as many as seven times, I'm still very powerful." ”

After about half a cup of tea, all the eight people who lived on the third floor and had contact with the deceased went through it in front of Situ Zhong.

Next is a woman with a beautiful appearance, graceful temperament, and graceful appearance, which is the head of Wei Shiwei Xing, who lives in the poetic residence on the fourth floor, and the head of Lanyue Building.

All the rooms in Lanyue Tower are named after the heavenly stems and earthly branches, but Wei Shi's residence has the elegant name of poetic residence.

"I was with Peng Gongzi at night, yes, I didn't go out, and I didn't notice anything unusual, but my maid went out twice on my orders, and around the ugly hour, I asked her to carry water for us. ”

"What's the reason for carrying water?" Situ Zhong looked at the other side in confusion.

Wei Shi hesitated for a moment, and then glanced apologetically at Peng Fulai, who also seemed to realize something, and his face suddenly turned red.

"Peng Gongzi seems to be very weak, he fell asleep after entering the door, he is sweating all the time when he sleeps at night, of course, it may be because of the hot weather, so I asked Ya'er to fetch him some ice cubes. ”

Peng Fulai suddenly withered, holding his forehead and not wanting to speak.

Li Xuan suddenly said: "What a night and seven times!"

Zhang Taishan was originally unable to raise his head beside them, but at this time, his spirit regained and he immediately fell into the ground, "This is a serious Oiran!

He also proudly puffed out his biceps at Peng Fulai, he didn't have nine times a night, but at least his body was not empty.

Peng Fulai's face was so dead that he couldn't wait to dig a pit and bury himself. After Wei Shi, it was his turn to be interrogated, but under the stunned and sneering eyes of the people around him, Peng Fulai realized that this would be a social death.

Li Xuan glanced at Wei Shi, who was thin and slender, and thought that when this guy was bragging, he must have no brains.
