This utility room is about 30 square meters, most of the place in it is empty, and the miscellaneous items are piled up in the southeast corner, covering an area of about 10 square meters. In the open space, there is a table and a wooden bed.

Obviously, when the housing of Lanyue Building is tight, this place can also be used.

The first thing Li Xuan noticed were the two copper basins placed among the miscellaneous items. The two are one large and the other is small, the larger one is comparable in diameter to a wheel, and the smaller one is only the thickness of an adult man's thigh.

"There are saltpeter ice making tools at the scene, which should be put here for standby by Lanyue Tower. Li Xuan then bent down and looked at the ground: "The floor has been cleaned, it is very clean, but there are still residual blood stains in the cracks of the floor." ”

It's a pity that this is ancient, and there are no modern technical detection tools, otherwise no matter how much the ground is cleaned, it will be useless. He can also directly identify the murderer through fingerprints.

However, the spirits of this world also have more than three spells for identifying traces, but Li Xuan's original body has no knowledge and no skills, and he has not mastered any of them.

Li Xuan is making up for evil, but due to the limited time and insufficient cultivation, he has not made much progress at present.

"There are a large number of blood spots under the table, and it is believed that the blood spurted here when the prisoner committed the murder on the deceased. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xuan took out a dagger from his sleeve and carved a human figure on the floor: "Judging from the traces, the deceased should have been lying here before his death." ”

Situ Zhong looked expressionless and stared coldly at the side, but in his eyes, there was a hint of surprise that others could not detect.

"These debris have been moved, the dust is wrong, and there are handprints left in some places, so it can be inferred that after the murderer and the deceased entered the utility room, there was a slight push and even conflict, which caused some of the debris to collapse. The murderer sorted it out before leaving, probably in a hurry to leave, leaving some traces, huh?"

At this time, Li Xuan's expression moved slightly, and he looked in a certain direction. They were stacked wooden benches, and underneath them, in the cracks in the floor, there were two things that weren't supposed to belong.

Li Xuan took a closer look, then took out a handkerchief with a smile and picked up the things under the wooden bench.

"Mr. Situ, it seems that I don't have to suffer this injustice. ”

"A woman's nails?"

Situ Zhong had been keeping an eye on Li Xuan's movements, and he also saw two things under the wooden bench. It was a woman's fingernail, the first half of the break, the edge of which was extremely irregular, and it was coated with pink essential oil. On the surface of one of the nail pieces, there was a small black-brown spot - it was supposed to be a spot of blood splattered from the wound of the deceased.

Situ Zhong couldn't help but glance at Li Xuan with a complicated expression: "Your luck is really good." ”

Li Xuan didn't think he was lucky, in fact, he only needed to bring Jiang Hanyun's three-tailed spirit fox over today to smell it, and this murder case could be solved.

※※※※

When Li Xuan took Situ Zhong and the others back to the hall downstairs, Jiang Hanyun looked at them with a smile: "Li Xuan, you came just in time, this case has been solved, and we found some traces of saltpeter in Meng Xingyan's room." ”

She pointed to the two women kneeling in front of her: "Hanyan has identified this woman surnamed Meng, who instructed her to drug her in the kitchen and steal saltpeter. She just said in her confession that Meng Xingyan slept with her in the ear room yesterday, but in fact, this woman left alone when she was ugly last night, and she didn't return to the room until more than half an hour later. ”

Meng Xingyan's face was as pale as paper, and when she saw Li Xuan coming, she immediately threw a pleading look at him: "My lord, the little woman doesn't know why Hanyan framed me, but the little woman can swear." If I take a step away from the door of the house last night, I will be thundered and killed!"

"I've seen a lot of people like you, and my deeds have been revealed, and I dare to swear anything. Jiang Hanyun snorted, as if she was disdainful: "You said you didn't leave, so there are other people to prove it to you? If not, why should I believe you? If you really have grievances, you can go to the yamen to talk about it." ”

Meng Xingyan's eyes were sad, and she looked at Zhang Taishan with a pleading gaze. The latter looked unbearable, but after hesitating for a while, he still shook his head. He fell asleep last night, and he really didn't hear Meng Xingyan's movement.

Li Xuan walked over noncommittally, he took a closer look at the hands of the two women, and then said with a smile: "The murderer is not her. ”

At this moment, the entire hall suddenly burst into a buzz. Except for Situ Zhong, who was following behind Li Xuan, everyone looked at Li Xuan in surprise.

"She's not a murderer?" Jiang Hanyun first glared, and then looked at Li Xuan suspiciously: "Now that the human and material evidence is complete, you tell me that you don't know?"

"It can only be said that the murderer is very clever and very good at confusing the public, but unfortunately she is unlucky. ”

Li Xuan continued to scan the crowd as he spoke, and finally his gaze fell on a pair of small and delicate jade hands.

Almost at the same time, the delicate body of the owner of these hands trembled slightly.

Li Xuan sighed and paced in front of Wei Shi, the head of Lanyue Tower: "Miss Wei, I remember that you had your nails yesterday. ”

The blood on Wei Shi's face had all faded at some point, her eyes drooped, she still remained calm, and looked at her hands: "Son, you are so careful, I don't think I'm in the way, so I cut it off." ”

"So you stayed at the scene of the crime?" Li Xuan took out the handkerchief in his arms: "I think Miss Wei should be familiar with them, and it is worth mentioning that there are traces of the deceased's blood on them." ”

Jiang Hanyun frowned immediately when she heard this, and walked directly to Li Xuan's side and snatched the handkerchief in her hand. The people around also looked at the two of them at this moment.

The sound of the entire hall gradually calmed down, and after a few moments, it became audible for a pin to fall.

"Childe, are you suspicious of me?" Wei Shi gritted his teeth and seemed to be smiling: "But why do you think this is mine?"

"Who else but you?" Meng Xingyan didn't know when she had stood up, she stared at the thing in Jiang Hanyun's hand: "That's Bingye Hong, this kind of nail polish is unique to the 'Women's Workshop', it is used in this building, and you Wei Shi is the only one who can afford it!"

Li Xuan didn't know the origin of this nail polish, the reason why he judged it to be Wei Shi was because he saw it yesterday and felt familiar;

"Wei Xingshou, there are so many girls here today, and you are the only one who has cut off her nails. ”

Wei Shi was stunned, and looked at Li Xuan with a slightly hideous expression: "I really use this kind of ice leaf red, and I am the only one in this Lanyue Building who has repaired his nails." But so what? are you trying to convict me on the basis of these two fingernails of unknown origin?"

Li Xuan shook his head slightly: "Does Wei Xingshou think it makes sense to quibble and deny it like this? I guess the soldiers and horses of Cui Zizhan, the commander of the right guard of the Nanzhili Mansion Army, are not far from here. He will make you and this smoke-containing girl worse than dead, and he will also make you regret not falling into the hands of our Six Dao Divisions. ”

He directly copied Situ Zhong's words that intimidated him before to intimidate Wei Shi. But Li Xuan's words are by no means alarmist, in this era, although they do not have all kinds of high-tech instruments and tools, they do not need to be as rigorous as modern society when investigating and handling cases.

The evidence in Li Xuan's hands alone was enough to convict Wei Shi.

And if the Boling Cui clan has the opportunity, they will definitely take the most cruel revenge on this Wei Xingshou.

"But that's not right-" Peng Fulai frowned: "Although I fell asleep yesterday, I remember that I have been holding someone in my arms." ”

Li Xuan frowned slightly, he glanced at Wei Shi again, and then his expression moved slightly, and he swept his gaze to the maid beside her, and then groaned: "Delicate fit, rich and symmetrical, in short, it feels very good——"

Peng Fulai is a very smart person, just a little bit thorough, he opened his eyes wide, and also glared at Wei Shi: "So the one who slept with me last night was actually her maid?

Li Xuan sneered and looked out the door: "Wei Xingshou still refuses to confess, I guess you are not afraid of the Cui family's torture, but you can't bear to see you, a loyal maid, and this girl with a cigarette, also bear that inhuman torture with you?"

The smoky face had also turned iron-blue, but she gritted her teeth and didn't say a word. Although the twenty-eight-year-old maid beside Wei Shi was terrified in her eyes and her body trembled slightly, she was also silent and stubbornly held her head high.

"It's—"

Wei Shi sighed slowly, she smiled bitterly, and the spirit of the whole person declined: "They are just accomplices, and they are instructed by me." ”

"Is it really you?" Jiang Hanyun asked with a slight suspicion: "Then what is the reason for you to kill Cui Hongshu? There must be a reason for killing, right?"

"Reason?ha-" Wei Shi's face was hideous, and his facial features were almost distorted: "Three years ago, my sister was abused to death by Cui Hongshu and a few gentlemen in the Jiaofang Division!"

"She's only thirteen years old! I've scraped together enough money to ransom her! they're all brutes! A bunch of brutes who don't want to die!"

Jiang Hanyun looked stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes, and waved his sleeves slightly: "Take people away!" Situ Zongzhu, you send people to send them to the Liudao Division as soon as possible." In addition, a few more capable people will be deployed to search this Miss Wei's boudoir with me. ”

Wei Shi laughed miserably, and let a few catchers who came over put the chains on her body. And just when she was escorted by several people and went out the door, Li Xuan suddenly shouted "Slow".

He looked at Wei Shi coldly: "I want to know, why did Miss Wei frame Li? ”

"It's just a temporary idea, and I happen to see you in conflict with him, and I happen to be there. ”

Wei Shi didn't even look back at Li Xuan, and continued to pace outside, while Li Xuan frowned slightly and looked gloomy.

At this moment, on the fourth floor of Lanyue Building, a slender figure stepped into Wei Shi's residence, 'Poetic Residence'.

Strange to say, the corridor on the fourth floor was obviously guarded by officials, but they were completely unaware of her existence.

The woman glanced first into the room, then on a bronze mirror. As she raised her sleeves, the originally smooth and nothing-looking mirror suddenly burned, revealing a line of words - your wish is fulfilled, and I hate it.

"Idiot!"

The woman sneered and walked in the direction of the window facing the river. And just as she stepped out of the lattice, she jumped down to a fishing boat on the river. The eight characters on the mirror also disappeared completely, leaving no trace.
