Everyone heard that what Liu Yong was asking for was related to the murder case, and they suddenly regained their spirits. Hua Lang even asked quickly: "The murder case that happened in Qingjie a year ago?"

Liu Yong nodded: "Yesterday I met Hua Gongzi and others on Qingjie, so you must know where Qingjie is?"

Hwarang nodded, they naturally knew this, but what was the murder case Liu Yong was talking about?

At this time, Liu Yong continued: "Qingjie is a place where brothels gather in the capital. There are 23 brothels in that place, and there are popular women in each brothel. On the night of Qixi Festival, Qingjie holds an oiran competition. Each of the 23 brothels sent a representative to perform. Merchants and literati in the capital will be present that night. The girls in each brothel will perform, and after their performances, those merchants will pay for them. In the end, the person who gets the most rewards is the oiran on the night of the Qixi Festival, and whether the girls in the brothels can get more rewards depends on who the literati in the capital admire and write poems for. It is beneficial to be famous. Of course, if the merchant is ready to praise someone early in the morning, it is another matter."

After Liu Yong finished speaking, everyone already had a little understanding of the Oiran Competition in Qingjie, which was no different from what they had encountered in other places before. Of course, the scene might be more lively.

However, Liu Yong said so much, does it have anything to do with the murder he wants to talk about?

Hwarang looked at Liu Yong, thinking that if he didn't mention the murder case, he would ask questions directly.

But at this time, Liu Yong's face suddenly darkened, and he said: "The murder case that happened in Qing Street last year was the night of the Qixi Festival Oiran Competition, and the deceased was Qing Qing from Fengyue Building. It has been a year since this case happened. I really shouldn't bother Mr. Hua, but... I am ashamed to say it, I have always admired Miss Qingqing, but she has always ignored me..." Liu Yong stopped suddenly when he said this, and seemed very hurried When Hwarang and others saw this, they naturally understood what was going on. Liu Yong loved Miss Qingqing, and now that it was going to be Qixi Festival again, he naturally felt heartbroken when he thought of this.

Knowing Liu Yong's purpose here, Hwarang asked: "Miss Qingqing has been killed for a year, was the case not solved at that time?"

Liu Yong shook his head: "The situation at that time was extremely complicated. The government officials investigated for a long time but failed to find the murderer, and finally it became an unsolved case."

After hearing this sentence, Hwarang frowned slightly, and then asked: "What was the situation at that time, how did Miss Qingqing be killed?"

"This..." Liu Yong hesitated for a while, and after a while, he said: "No one knows this, if they know, they will be able to find the murderer."

"I don't know how Miss Qingqing was killed?" Hua Lang was a little surprised, because according to his understanding, as long as there is Qingqing's corpse, you can see clues from the corpse, but why did Liu Yong say he didn't know?

At this time, Liu Yong looked nervous, and quickly said: "I didn't say it clearly enough. We all know how Qingqing died, but we don't know why she died. At that time, there was a big stage on Qingjie. , the stage was full of tables and chairs, and the attic observation decks on both sides of the stage were also full of people. At that time, everyone was watching the performance on the stage, and at this moment, there was a scream on the second floor where Qingqing was. , Everyone searched for the sound, only to see Qingqing fell from her own upstairs, the situation was very chaotic at that time, when the government officials arrived, Qingqing was already dead."

After listening to Liu Yong's words, Hwarang frowned and asked, "Miss Qingqing fell from the second floor?"

Liu Yong nodded again and again: "Exactly, Qingqing was the representative of Fengyuelou at that time, and she was going to perform, but it was not her turn to perform at that time, so she rested in her room, but no one thought that she would come out from fell from his attic."

At this time, Hua Wan'er thought about it and said: "If this is the case, then Miss Qingqing must have died by accident, right?"

After Hua Wan'er finished speaking, Yin Wucuo shook her head again and again: "How is this possible? How high can the second floor of the brothel be? If you fall down, you will be disabled at most, and you can't be dead."

After listening to Yin Wucuo's words, Liu Yong nodded again and again: "That's right, falling from the second floor is indeed impossible to kill someone, but Miss Qingqing really died after she fell down. Later, an expert conducted an investigation and found that Qingqing died of poisoning." Yes, that's why I decided that she was murdered, but the situation at that time was too complicated, and the government didn't know who poisoned Qingqing and pushed her down the stairs."

Hua Lang was silent for a moment, and asked: "After Miss Qingqing fell down the stairs, who rushed up first?"

"The situation at that time was too chaotic. After Miss Qingqing fell, everyone suddenly dispersed, but no one dared to approach. In the end, the old bustard Honggu of Fengyuelou and Miss Linlin, Qingqing's good sister, came forward to check what happened. , and when the two of them stepped forward to turn Miss Qingqing over to check, Miss Qingqing had already bled to death from her seven orifices."

When Liu Yong said this, he couldn't help feeling a lot of bleakness in his expression, Hua Lang remained silent, and Liu Yong continued: "This murder case is very difficult to investigate. Originally, I no longer had any hope for this matter, but Later, I heard that Young Master Hua was like a god in detecting cases, so I came to ask you for help, and asked Young Master Hua to find the murderer, so that Miss Qingqing's injustice can be released."

Seeing Liu Yong being so affectionate, Hua Lang was quite moved, and said, "Don't worry, brother Liu, I will definitely investigate this matter to find out, so now I must have a more detailed understanding of what happened at that time, please also ask Liu Yong Just say what you know."

Liu Yong nodded: "This playboy can rest assured, I will never hide anything."

Hwarang nodded and asked, "Who was in charge of this case?"

"At that time, there was still a shortage of magistrates in the Kaifeng government office, so it was Mr. Song Qisong, who had been a judge, who investigated it."

"Song Qi? That Hongxing Shangshu?"

Liu Yong nodded: "Song Qi who is making the sentence that the red apricot branch is full of spring."

Hua Lang was slightly surprised, but soon, he nodded, and then asked: "Is there no one in Miss Qingqing's room at that time?"

Liu Yong nodded: "There was indeed no one at the time. Before, Miss Qingqing was accompanied by a servant girl. She was watching the performance in front of the stage that night because she was greedy for excitement. There are many people who can testify to her that she was not there when Qingqing died. "

When Liu Yong said this, he seemed very hesitant, and said: "Although this is the case, it is really strange that the maid, Axia, disappeared after Qingqing's death."
