I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 123 The Inner Ghost
Coming out of the palace, Lu Xizhi sat in the carriage, trying to calm himself down, and not let the panic affect his professional sensitivity and judgment.

After taking a few deep breaths, she drove the nervousness and anxiety out of her head, and began to sort out yesterday, today, and the theft of Jia Dafu's house.

"Factory Superintendent, I think the theft of Jia Dafu's family is very suspicious. The disappearance of Jia's family now just shows this point. Also, where are those ten land deeds?"

"Call me Jingming."

Lu Xizhi was taken aback, and called out again: "Jingming."

"This is the word my mother gave me."

Regarding his cautious expression, Lu Xizhi also nodded, "It's very nice, I remember it."

Holding her hand in the palm of his hand, he stared at her tightly and said: "The situation in the court is ever-changing, undercurrents are surging, and dangers are everywhere. You can only investigate secretly this time, and leave the other things to me. You must not act without authorization. You are in danger, if you need to investigate anything, hand it over to Beixue and Xifeng, Xingyun will protect you in the dark, can you hear me clearly?"

"You also think that my father was involved in factional disputes, and someone took him as a victim?" Lu Xizhi couldn't restrain his anger, and couldn't help raising his voice.

"Unfortunately, Lord Lu himself has been an official for decades, and he must be well versed in the intrigues and intrigues, so you and I must not mess up. They must have been planning for a long time, and we only have eight days."

Seeing her calm down, Yuan Yanxi went on to say: "They are watching our every move in the dark, so you must act cautiously. In addition, I have sent someone to investigate Jia Dafu's disappearance. You should go home now and think about it carefully. Who in the Lu family is most likely to be the internal response."

"how about you?"

"The dozens of land deeds that Cao Jinyue found are very suspicious. I'm going to Dali Temple."

"Jingming, you also said that the imperial court is intriguing, Dongchang's status is so special, Cao Jinyue is cunning and vicious, you have to be more careful." Lu Xizhi held his hand instead.

"Worried about me?" Yuan Yanxi smiled evilly, as if he had returned to the way he was when he first met him. He looked evil and charming, but in fact he was ruthless.

Lu Xizhi nodded and looked at him sincerely. She knew that what Yuan Yanxi did was much more dangerous than her. If she was not careful, she would fall into the pit.

"Girl, don't look at me like that." After finishing speaking, she lowered her head and grabbed that bright red mouth.

"Hmm..." Lu Xizhi opened his eyes wide, and just about to explode, the man quickly backed away.

"When is it, you still..."

"Xixi, you are worried about me, I am very happy."

The two parted at the gate of Lu's house. Lu Xizhi looked at the carriage going away, made up his mind to raise his head and cheer up, and knocked on the door of his house.

"Miss San is back." Er Fatty's eyes dodged a little.

"Well, is everyone there?"

"All...all in..."

Lu Xizhi didn't miss his panic, but he didn't show it right away. He just asked him to gather all the servants and wait for her to ask questions in the courtyard.

Lu Ziyi rushed over upon hearing the sound.

"Where's Aunt Bai and my aunt?"

"I let the two aunts go to rest, and Xi Ruo is taking care of them."

"Brother, let all the maids come out too."

After 10 minutes, everyone was there.

Lu Xizhi swept over them, and there were 15 of them... No, why is there one less.

"Miss Hui, Sister Lily ate something and vomited, she said to come right away." Chunxiang returned.

Lu Xizhi glanced at the back room, and then asked these people to line up one by one, waiting for her to come in and answer by name.

The questioning lasted for more than an hour, and everyone's answers sounded normal. There was a major incident at home, and their expressions were natural, only panic and anxiety, and they didn't evade any questions she asked.

Finally, there are three members of the Chen family.

"Chen Uncle, Chen Ma, you are the elders of the family, and your father is now in complete distress. We all believe that he is innocent, so you must carefully recall all the details, and who else got the key to the warehouse."

"Miss San, after Madam opened the storehouse that time, the little one never went there again." Uncle Chen returned with a bitter face.

"Mother Chen, what about you?"

"Back to Miss San, I have been there once, and I told the young master just now that I will clean it once a month. After cleaning, the key will be returned."

"When was that cleaning?"

"Oh, I can't remember clearly, it seems that there will be five or six days, right?"

"Are you sure you gave the key directly to Madam?"

Hearing this, Chen's mother was stunned for a moment, her eyes quickly looked at her son, then she turned around, her eyeballs rolled around, and said vaguely: "Give it... I did it."

"Mother Chen!" Lu Xizhi suddenly raised her voice.

Chen Ma trembled in fright, and retreated half a step timidly.

"If you are dishonest, don't blame me for being ruthless. I will do anything for my father and the Lu family!"

Lu Xizhi honed his interrogation skills so many times in his previous life, for an honest person like Chen Bo and Chen Ma, he only needs to be frightened a little...

With a plop, Chen Erpang knelt on his knees and shouted, "It doesn't matter about my parents, it's me...it's me..."

"What?" The corners of Uncle Chen's mouth trembled, and he slapped his son's back like chaff all over his body, "You bastard, what have you done to offend the master!!"

"No, no, I didn't. Miss San, father, mother, I didn't do anything wrong to the Lu family. That day, I saw that my mother had a headache, so I asked her to go back to the house to rest, and I will return the key." Chen Erpang Crying out of breath, she wiped away the mixture of tears and snot, and then said: "On the way, when I met Lily, she saw that I was holding the key, so she said to her, she is by Madam's side. Big girl, I will naturally... just give it to her. I really don't know anything else, woo woo woo..."

lily!

"Brother, hurry up and check on Lily, I'll be right over."

Lu Ziyi quickly ran to the back room.

"Mother Chen, there is one more thing. When you cleaned the warehouse that day, did you find many things?"

Chen Ma wiped away her tears, thought about it carefully, and said, "The warehouse is the same as usual, there is not much stuff."

"Are you sure?"

"Miss San, you don't know. My wife likes to be clean. Everything inside is neatly arranged. The gold and silver jewelry are all carefully placed in the box. I often clean it, so I can see it clearly. .”

That's right, someone put the stolen goods in as they were, and within a few days, Cao Jinyue came to search them out. There were internal thieves in the family who cooperated with them inside and out, and tipped off the news, so the Lu family had a lot of property, because there was no need to flip through it. .

"Unfortunately, Lily is gone." Lu Ziyi's anxious voice came.

what? !

"Brother, hurry up and send someone to look for it. Ask Auntie about the shops and restaurants that my mother usually likes to go to. Look for all the places where she might go, and bring her back."

I was so panicked, what would I do if Lily had left the capital.

No, you can't sit still.

"Beixue, Beixue..."

With a whoosh, Bei Xue flashed outside the door, "Miss Lu."

"Beixue, please bring some people to stop Lily at the gates of the city. The maids around my mother are all deeds of life. She has status and may run away."

"Miss Lu, what is Lily's real name?"

"This……"

Lu Xizhi called Chunxiang and asked Lily's real name, Beixue flew out vigorously.

Looking at Uncle Chen's family who were hugging each other and crying, Lu Xizhi couldn't be more angry.

The two aunts who heard the movement also rushed over. After hearing what she said, their faces turned pale. Thinking that there was an inner ghost in the house, and she was the favored girl next to the madam, their faces had no color at all.

Glancing at Chen Erpang who was sitting on the ground, he seemed to have something to say, but Lu Xizhi didn't make any movement, she didn't intend to speak first.

Er Pang's eyes stared blankly at one place, lifeless.

Finally he sighed, and said first: "I like Lily, but she seldom talks to me, just like a fairy, my wife loves her too, I know I am not worthy, so I can only leave her secretly Get closer. On that day, she suddenly became very enthusiastic, greeted me, and asked me where I was going...I just..."

"After the accident in that family, why didn't you tell us earlier?" Lu Xiruo immediately asked.

"Second Miss, Third Miss, I think that Lily is not the one who betrayed the Lu family, Madam loves her so much, she will not be heartless." Chen Erpang's expression was a little helpless.

"Now the facts are in front of us, Lily has escaped!" Lu Xizhi yelled at him.

"Unfortunately, Uncle Chen and Mama Chen are not at fault, and speaking of it, neither is Er Fatty...Let them go down first." Zheng Yujing came over to comfort her daughter.

Of course, Lu Xizhi knew that the three of them could not be blamed for this, but when he thought that his father was imprisoned in Dali Temple and did not know what was going on, he became very anxious.

"If something happens to my father, everyone in Lu's house will not be able to escape. We masters will die, and you will only become slaves. Where you will be sent depends on the emperor's mood. I think it is hard work with the army. Most likely. If there is still something to hide now, then it’s better to do it yourself.”

Aunt Bai sighed, and waved for the Chen family to go down first.

Uncle Chen helped his wife and son up, and the three members of the family supported each other and walked out.

Suddenly, Chen Erpang remembered something, turned around and said, "Miss Hui, I seem to have seen Lily flirting with a strange man on the street."

"Putting?" Lu Xizhi opened his eyes wide, "Where is it?"

"On the edge of a house two streets away."

"Can you see what the man is wearing?"

Chen Erpang thought for a while: "That man looks like a son-in-law, with a white shirt and a fan."

"Do you still remember the location of the house?"

"Remember to remember."

Lu Xizhi got up quickly, "Take me there!"

After they left, Zheng Yujing and Bai Rongyin looked at each other, and Zheng Yujing spoke first: "I didn't expect that our family is harmonious and treats these servants well, but in the end we were betrayed. If Madam came back and found out, I would be so sad... "

Bai Rongyin hesitated to speak, but only let out a deep sigh.
