Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 536 Former petty official.

When Hwarang and Wen Meng returned to the post house, Bao Zheng and Wen Yanbo had already returned from the palace, and Prince Duan Suxing and Miss Hui Qiong also came, and they were all waiting for Hwarang.

After Hwarang and Wen Meng sat down in the courtyard of the post house, Duan Suxing quickly said: "The matter of Yupei has been investigated."

Hwarang nodded: "I would like to hear more about it!"

"The person who replaced the jade pendant was Li Liang, a small official who was in charge of finance in the past. However, after several years of corruption and his bribes, he is now the Minister of the Household Department. After we investigated him, he also admitted that the jade pendant was It's his, but he kept calling for injustice, saying that he didn't kill anyone."

When Duan Suxing said these words, his tone was full of disdain, which meant that he didn't believe that Li Liang was not the murderer at all.

After hearing these words, Hua Lang nodded slightly and said, "Have you ever arrested Li Liang?"

"Of course, even if he is not the murderer, the matter of the jade pendant is enough for him."

Hwarang nodded slightly, and then said: "In this case, please His Royal Highness, please gather all the people related to it in Leya Building before this evening, this matter should be over."

After hearing Hua Lang's words, everyone was surprised, Bao Zheng even asked: "Brother Hua knows who the murderer is?"

Hwarang nodded: "That's right, but we can't say it now, let's wait until this evening."

Duan Suxing and Hui Qiong were also surprised. They still didn't know much about the matter, or believed that Li Liang was the murderer, but there was no evidence, so they couldn't be sure. Now Hua Lang said that he knew who the murderer was. Unbelievable thing.

Even so, Duan Suxing happily agreed.

After Duan Suxing left the posthouse, everyone seemed a little excited because they were waiting for the mystery to be finally revealed.

Before dusk, the streets of Dali became more and more lively, and the sun was still warm. After everyone got ready, they urged Hwa Lang to go to the Leya Building. Hwarang was urged and pushed by the crowd, and finally came to the Leya Building.

When they came to Leya Building, many people had already arrived, and they were surrounded by Prince Duan Suxing's people. After Hualang and the others entered, they found Li Liang kneeling on the ground with a begging expression on his face. It's just that Hualang scanned around and found that Duduluo Baixu was not there, Hualang looked at Duan Suxing and asked: "His Royal Highness, can you send someone to call Lord Luo Baixuluo?"

Prince Duan Suxing was a little puzzled and asked, "What do you want him to do?"

Hwarang smiled: "If Master Luo is missing today, this play will be difficult to sing. Please ask His Royal Highness to call him here."

Duan Suxing didn't have many doubts about what Hwarang said, so he sent someone to call Luo Baixu. After Luo Baixu arrived, Hwarang began to solve the riddle today.

Everyone sat in the hall on the first floor of Leya Building. Bao Zhengwen, Bo Hualang and the others sat together, Duan Suxing and Miss Huiqiong sat together, Mother Chen, Li Liang and Luo Baixu sat together. After sitting down like this, Hualang Standing up, he said: "On the night after Miss Huiqiong was favored by His Royal Highness, a murder case suddenly occurred in Le Ya Building. Ruyan, the number one girl in Le Ya Building, was strangled to death. At that time, Miss Huiqiong was in the house preparing to escape."

Hwarang stopped here, he scanned the crowd, and then continued: "I was ordered to investigate this case, and I found a fish-shaped jade pendant in Miss Ruyan's room, that fish-shaped jade pendant is very precious , After investigation, it was found out that it was a tribute jade pendant, but the jade pendant was exchanged by Master Li Liang."

When talking about this, everyone cast their eyes on Li Liang, but at this moment Li Liang seemed extremely nervous, wanting to speak, but didn't know what to say.

At this time, Hwarang continued: "Miss Ruyan was killed. We speculated that she might have discovered the secret of the jade pendant, so she threatened Li Liang with the jade pendant and asked Mr. Li to give her benefits. The secret of the jade pendant can indeed be revealed, so he has no choice but to obey Miss Ruyan, but Li Liang will always obey a woman from a brothel, he must really want to kill Miss Ruyan."

Speaking of this, Li Liang suddenly said: "I really wanted to kill Ruyan, but I didn't kill her. At that time, I was wearing the jade pendant to play in Leya Building, and the jade pendant fell on Ruyan's bed accidentally. I don’t know where I heard about the origin of the jade pendant, so I blackmailed me so many times that I dare not come to Le Yalou to play, but even so, I really didn’t kill Ruyan, you must believe me.”

Regarding what Li Liang said, Hwarang just smiled, and then continued: "Miss Huiqiong was about to run out of Miss Ruyan's room at that time, so she was the most likely murderer, but later Miss Huiqiong said she went to Miss Ruyan's room just wanted to return my own folding fan. At the beginning, I believed what Miss Huiqiong said, but when we searched in Miss Ruyan's room, we didn't find the folding fan. On the second day after passing Ruyan's room, a tortoise slave named Du Quan died. When we found out that Du Quan was dead, we went to Ruyan's room again, but in Ruyan's room, we found I bought that folding fan, and later, it was confirmed by Miss Ruyan that it was given to Miss Huiqiong by Lord Luo Baixuluo, is it true, Lord Luo?"

Luo Baixu was indeed a very old man as Miss Hui Qiong said, and his eyes were very small, and when he smiled, it was almost like squinting, making people think that he was a very lecherous old man.

At this time Luo Baixu was asked by Hua Lang, he nodded repeatedly and said: "That's right, that fan was indeed given to Miss Hui Qiong by me."

"Is it really?"

"Of course it is!"

"Then can you explain why we didn't find this folding fan the first time we searched for it, but found it again when we searched for the second time?"

Hearing this, Luo Baixu was suddenly a little angry, and said, "I'm not a detective, so how do I know what's going on? Maybe you didn't search very carefully the first time."

Hua Lang shook his head with a smile, and said: "No, we searched very carefully for the first time, and the reason why this happened is because the folding fan was taken away by that turtle slave Du Quan at the beginning, because he knew that Whose fan was it? He wanted to use that fan to extort money, but he felt that it was not safe to put it on himself or at home, so after the yamen servants withdrew, he put the fan in Miss Ruyan's room again, because who No one would have thought that a house that had been searched many times would suddenly find one more thing."
