Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

Chapter 103 Restoration
Hearing this, Ming Niang said first: "When I heard the voice from the study that night, I asked Xiaohong to watch the two children and rushed to the study immediately."

Li Quan asked, "Is the study door closed or open?"

"It's a lie."

"You were the first to arrive?"

"Yes."

"please continue."

"I opened the door and saw..." Mingniang took a deep breath before continuing, "I saw the master lying on his back with blood all over his body... Then Zhao San'er and the others also arrived."

The servant nodded and said: "We arrived together. After hearing the noise from the main courtyard, and on the way here, we heard the madam screaming, so I knew something happened in the study. When I came in, I found the master... …then we noticed that there was a man lying next to him. He hit the back of his head on the high table, but he had a knife in his hand and his clothes were covered in blood, so we thought it must be him.”

"When Mrs. Jia came, did you see anyone going out of the study?"

Mingniang shook her head again and again: "Absolutely not. The bedroom and study are very close, and you can see this side when you go out."

"You don't know when Yu Si came?"

"I don't know, I didn't hear anything."

Li Guan lowered his eyes, thought for a while, then wandered around the study room, and finally landed on a row of bookcases.The upper layer of the bookcase is an open horizontal bookshelf, and the lower half is a cabinet with a door.He went over and opened the cabinet doors one by one, inspecting them carefully, and when he saw the third one, he waved to Bai Sanxiu, "Xiaoxiu, come here."

Bai Sanxiu leaned over and looked at where his fingers were pointing, there were two small dark brown marks.She examined it carefully, and even sniffed it closely, before whispering to Li Quan, "It's blood."

Li Quan nodded, closed the cabinet, raised his head and said to Mingniang, "Thank you Madam Jia for your cooperation. I will send someone to fetch some things later."

"Thank you, Master Li."

After leaving Jia's house, Bai Sanxiu couldn't wait to ask, "How did Si Zhi know there was blood in the cabinet?"

Li Quan didn't play tricks, but he didn't answer her question directly, but asked: "If you hear the sound of fighting in the study at home, come here immediately and see me lying in a pool of blood—hmm."

"Bah, bah, bah! What are you talking about?!" Bai Sanxiu covered his mouth, "It doesn't count, what happened just now doesn't count!"

Seeing her anxious expression, Li Guan's eyes darkened, he took her hand and moved away, and said softly: "Well, it doesn't count. If you were Mrs. Jia, what would be your first reaction when you saw the scene in the study?"

Li Quan didn't let go immediately, but Bai Sanxiu was full of cases and didn't pay attention to his actions at all.

"Yu Si sneaked in to kill Jia Sicang, and was pushed unconscious?"

"Did you see the process?"

Bai Sanxiu knew that she was Mrs. Jia at this time, so she was at a loss for words.

Li Quan asked again: "With blood on his body and a knife in his hand, must he do it? People from the county government only saw Yu Si go there once, and he couldn't even get in the door."

Bai Sanxiu was stunned for a moment, and then she suddenly realized that she had an explanation for the strangeness she felt in her heart just now.

Yu Si is a water worker, not a killer assassin. Even if he wanted to seek revenge from Jia Ran, normally speaking, he would start a dispute first, and Jia Ran would probably call for help during the fight.It is not so easy to sneak in and kill someone quietly.

"Jia Sicang was stabbed several times, but the fatal wound was the stab wound to the heart. Do you think this stab came before the other non-fatal wounds, or after? And Yu Si was pushed, was it before or after this stab?"

With a thought, Bai Sanxiu completely understood.
