Chapter 5 Lamb Kidneys and Berries Soup

"You have to be careful, I'm sorry, that Situ is not right. Peng Fulai was clearly trying to change the subject. However, his words still made the faces of the two friends solemn.

"I know. Li Xuan narrowed his eyes: "This is indeed a bad person." ”

Zhang Taishan expressed his doubts: "But where did he get such a big courage? He dared to arrest you without evidence? Your sincerity is not something that can be provoked by just anyone." ”

"Someone must have instructed him. Peng Fulai's eyes showed a look of suspicion: "Or maybe it has something to do with the big case that happened on the river that Captain Jiang said?"

Li Xuan's heart sank slightly when he heard this, and he remembered that the Sincerity Bofu had served as the 'Admiral of the River Commander' in the Great Jin Dynasty in the past dynasties, and was responsible for the training of the water division and the defense of the river from Jingzhou to Zhenjiang. And Li Xuan's original father is the current commander of the Caojiang Water Division.

If there is really any big case on the Yangtze River, then there is a chance that their sincerity will be involved.

He felt uneasy and puzzled in his heart, but he was forcibly suppressed by Li Xuan. He knew that the immediate priority was to get out of the case here as soon as possible.

While several people were talking, Wei Shi had already signed the confession. Peng Fulai sighed, and walked towards Situ Zhong with an expression of going to the execution ground.

Li Xuan didn't have the heart to gloat, he began to gather everyone's confessions together, and carefully looked at them page by page.

"The people of the Cui family did not agree to disembowel. Just as Li Xuan was flipping through and contemplating, Jiang Hanyun walked back with a few catchers with deep eyebrows: "The management warehouse of Lanyue Building is all one question and three questions, and Xiao Lei Lei and I haven't found any clues in the warehouse, we have to find another clue." ”

Li Xuan was not surprised at all, he had actually glanced at the warehouse just now. The location is on the left side of the courtyard, the location is hidden, and it is unlikely to be witnessed in the middle of the night, and then the management of the warehouse is also very chaotic, and many people are qualified to enter and exit.

In this case, even if Jiang Hanyun has a three-tailed spirit fox in hand, he may not be able to find useful clues.

As for Boling Cui's reaction, it was even more unexpected by Li Xuan.

"The storeroom can be temporarily blocked, and I happen to have some new discoveries here. ”

Li Xuan continued to flip through the pages, and waited until all the confessions had been passed before he raised his head and scanned the people around him. Finally, his gaze locked on a man in the crowd wearing an apron and covered in the smell of oil: "Are you the chef here?"

The man's expression was slightly grim: "The small one is the second chef here, and the person in charge of the spoon had already rested at the beginning of last night (nine o'clock in the evening)." ”

"Then after that, you are in charge of the back kitchen?" Li Xuan's face was cold: "Explain to me, why do most of the guests in Lanyue Mansion fall asleep after two o'clock (half past eleven o'clock in the evening)?"

The second chef was ignorant for a while, completely unaware of his meaning. Situ Zhong next to him had a look in his eyes, snatched all the confessions directly from Li Xuan's hands, and looked at them one by one.

Jiang Hanyun's expression also became excited, she didn't bother to read the confession, and directly asked Li Xuan for the answer: "Is this guy drugged in the food?"

"There are more than forty guests in total, it is impossible that all of them come to sleep in the Qinglou?"

Li Xuan's face was as cold as ice: "All the girls and turtles in the Lanyue Building, the little ones are safe and sound." Then this medicine can only be placed in the food specially provided for the guests. ”

"It's the lamb kidneys and berries soup from Lanyue Tower!" Peng Fulai, who had already finished recording his confession, slapped his head and suddenly realized: "No wonder I slept until dawn, my feelings were drugged." Their lamb kidney and wolfberry soup in the moon floor is famous, tonifying the kidneys and aphrodisiac, and nourishing qi and essence. Most of the guests will drink a bowl, but the girls won't drink this. ”

He glared at the bustard with fierce eyes: "You have to lose money!"

The old bustard's scalp was numb: "Li Gongzi, is there any misunderstanding?"

"It can't be a misunderstanding. Li Xuan shook his head and looked at the cook with cold eyes: "There are guests on the upper and lower floors of Lanyue Tower, this can't be the problem of the person in charge of delivering the soup." Tell me, how many people were in the kitchen at the time?"

"It was just me and a few of my apprentices who were there, but how could we be drugged? It doesn't make sense, we-"

The second chef was anxious and dazed, but then his expression moved slightly: "In addition to us, Hanyan also entered the kitchen, and I felt that she was sneaky and very suspicious at that time. ”

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Who is Hanyan?"

"It's Meng Xingyan, Miss Meng's maid!" The second chef's voice became high-pitched: "She said that she asked for a bowl of lotus seed soup for her young lady, and after staying in the kitchen for several minutes, I saw her passing by the pot where the lamb kidney and wolfberry soup was cookingβ€”β€”"

At this time, a girl next to Meng Xingyan immediately called out with a pale face: "Don't spew blood! I have been in the kitchen, but I have always stayed at the door." ”

Li Xuan glanced at the girl carefully, and saw a trace of panic flashing in her eyes, but other than that, she seemed to be a little relieved.

Meng Xingyan next to her also behaved strangely, this one frowned slightly, and his eyes were a little suspicious.

"Good job!" Jiang Hanyun didn't wait for the second chef to finish speaking, she patted Li Xuan's shoulder heavily, and her expression was even more excited at this time: "Take down all the cooks and this girl with cigarettes, and watch them alone." A few more people will join me in searching Miss Mengxingyan's room. Li Xuan, you-"

Li Xuan immediately clenched his fists: "I'll go find the scene of the crime, and Lord Captain can let Master Situ and the two big brothers on the side follow me." If I find anything at the scene of the crime, I'm worried that the chief arrester will say that I have falsified evidence. ”

β€»β€»β€»β€»

Li Xuan said that he was looking for the scene of the crime, but he drove all the way to the utility room on the fifth floor of Lanyue Building.

When he pushed the door open, Situ Zhong said in a weird voice: "Li Gongzi, this is a familiar road." ”

Li Xuan responded indifferently: "Mr. Situ has also read those confessions, so I don't believe you can't see it." All the riverside rooms in the Lanyue Building are occupied, but this utility room is vacant. If there is any place that is best for killing, this is the only place. ”

He was already scanning the room, and then unsurprisingly raised his eyebrows: "It's really here." ”

Situ Zhong's eyes also changed a little, but then he stood without saying a word, with a look of standing idly by.

Li Xuan ignored him and began to investigate from the outside in.
