Da Song Private Investigator

It didn't take long to examine Lady Baihua's body.

Not long after taking the old bustard away from Hongxianglou, Hua Lang finished the inspection, and after the inspection, Hua Lang stood up and said, "He died of poisoning."

"Poisoned?"

Hwarang nodded: "The deceased's lips were purple, her face was black, and her facial expression was extremely convulsive. She must have just been poisoned and died before she could call for help."

After Hwarang finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but marvel at how powerful the poison was.

At this time, Wen Meng asked, "Can you determine the time of death of the deceased?"

Hua Lang frowned slightly, and said: "Seeing that the skin on the corpse has improved, it must have been dead for a while, so it should be that Lady Baihua died of poison not long after she left with us and returned to the room."

"But how did she get poisoned, and why is her body in this place?"

"It's not clear why she was poisoned, but Lady Baihua's body is very close to the door. I think she was about to open the door, but at this moment, the poison on her body suddenly exploded."

While Hua Lang was talking, Ouyang Xiu hurried over with his people. Bao Zheng was not here tonight. After Ouyang Xiu came, Hua Lang explained the clues he had investigated. After listening, Ouyang Xiu asked, "What? People will kill Lady Baihua?"

As soon as Ouyang Xiu finished asking, Wen Meng quickly replied, "It must be the final winner of the Oiran Contest!"

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Xiu was startled, and said, "Miss Wen Meng is talking about Miss Xiaoxiao? When I brought people here, everyone was congratulating Miss Xiaoxiao for winning this year's oiran!"

Wen Meng nodded again and again: "It must be her."

Ouyang Xiu hesitated for a moment, then looked at Hua Lang and asked, "Young Master Hua, did you ask Miss Xiaoxiao here? She is indeed very suspicious. After all, the two of them met before Miss Mofeng was killed. .”

What Ouyang Xiu said was extremely reasonable, but it was getting late now, Hua Lang pondered for a while, and said: "No need for now, Master Ouyang can send someone to secretly monitor Miss Xiaoxiao to see how she reacts, and we can make plans tomorrow. Let Lord Ouyang send someone to carry the body of Lady Baihua back to the government office first."

Ouyang Xiu is also the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, but Hua Lang said these words very affirmatively, and did not ask for Ouyang Xiu's meaning at all, so after Hua Lang finished speaking, the servants around Ouyang Xiu became a little angry, but Ouyang Xiu Knowing Hwarang's ability, he felt that there must be a reason for Hwarang to do this, so he readily agreed.

It was already very late when we left Hongxianglou. Although there were still many people on Qingjie, they were all planning to spend the night in a certain brothel on Qingjie, so they didn't plan to go back.

After Hualang and others left Qingjie, the rest of the capital had already become deserted, and even the Kongming lanterns had long since disappeared.

The wind is blowing and it is cool, and there are some remnants left by the tourists tonight on the street.

When I returned to the detective agency, there were several river lanterns floating in the creek in front of the mansion, but these river lights had already been extinguished, and some even lost their balance and fell down in the creek. Hwarang looked at the river in front of the mansion. The remnant scene in the small river, sighed secretly, thinking that not everyone's wish can be realized through the river lantern.

The wind became colder, and there were dark clouds in the night sky, followed by a few thunderbolts. As soon as everyone walked into the house, the rain began to rain.

I don't know when the rain stopped. When Hwarang and the others got up, the air outside was very fresh, and of course it was cooler. The willow trees in the courtyard had lost their branches and leaves, and autumn in the north came too early.

After breakfast, everyone hurried to the government office. Ouyang Xiu had already woken up. When he saw Hua Lang and the others, he hurriedly asked the office worker who was monitoring Miss Xiaoxiao to come here.

The yamen servant looked a bit haggard, maybe because of the heavy rain last night, he was cold, but even so, he still pulled himself together to answer Hwarang's question.

"Yesterday I watched Miss Xiaoxiao for a whole night. After the oiran competition ended, many guests wanted to pay a lot of money for Miss Xiaoxiao to accompany her. However, in order to increase the price, the old bustard at Yuanxiao Building called Miss Xiaoxiao tired from the competition. If you want Miss Xiaoxiao to accompany you, you can go to Yuanxiao Building to bid today, after those people returned disappointed, Miss Xiaoxiao went back to her room to rest, and there was no movement all night."

After the yamen servant finished speaking, Hwarang frowned secretly, thinking that this matter was a bit difficult to handle. The smiling girl had nothing unusual, so Hwarang couldn't find any clues from it, so he wanted to know whether the smiling girl was the murderer. , I had no choice but to detain her for questioning.

It's just that Miss Xiaoxiao has become an oiran now, and there are not a few people who spend a lot of money on her. If she is escorted to the government office for questioning, will she offend some powerful benefactors of Miss Xiaoxiao?The capital city is no better than Tianchang County or Duanzhou City. In the capital city, there are a lot of princes and princes. Although Hua Lang has the convenience of investigating murder cases, he doesn't want to embarrass these people.

At this time, Hwarang suddenly thought of a person, and after thinking of that person, Hwarang smiled knowingly, as long as he called that person, it would be much easier to meet Xiaoxiao girl.

After saying goodbye to Ouyang Xiu, Hua Lang took people to Chen Shishi's house. When they went, Liu Yong and Xie Yuying were playing, and Xie Yuying even sang a line or two of Bai Yi that Hua Lang sang that day. Liu Yong was very happy, as if because of Xie Yuying's arrival, he had forgotten about Miss Qingqing.

Hua Lang was a little unhappy, thinking that it was Liu Yong who came to him to investigate the case of Miss Qingqing's murder, but now he is busy here, but Liu Yong is here to sing peace with his confidante, it's really annoying!

And when Hualang thought of this, his brows were suddenly frowned. A year ago, Miss Qingqing was killed. This year, Miss Mofeng was killed first, followed by Lady Baihua. All three of them are the most likely to become the oiran in the oiran contest People, did the murderer kill these three people for the title of oiran?

If so, last year Lady Baihua was the oiran, and she killed Miss Qingqing, but this year she was killed. Isn't this too strange and contradictory?

Hwa Lang was so obsessed with this matter that when he entered Chen Shishi's house, he forgot to explain why he came. It was Liu Yong who came to say hello and asked a question. Hwa Lang then came to his senses and said quickly, "I'm here to see Brother Liu today. I want to ask Brother Liu to accompany me to Yuanxiao Tower, last night you helped Xiaoxiao write a song about the Fairy Bridge, it shouldn’t be too difficult to meet her today, right?”

Liu Yong is not stupid, when Hwarang said this, he understood what Hwarang meant, but after hesitating for a moment, he nodded in agreement.
