Drinking is a mistake, and drinking sometimes kills.

After Hualang finished speaking, Li Jingan quickly said: "Young Master Hua's speculation is correct, but this murder case is probably a secret room murder case, so it's not easy to solve it!"

Hwarang encountered a lot of secret room murder cases, but in the end he broke them all, so Li Jingan said it would be difficult to solve, but Hwarang wanted to try to solve them.

After Li Jingan finished speaking, Hwarang came to the door slowly. At this time, the door bolt had been kicked and broken, but after careful inspection, there was nothing unusual about the door bolt, it was indeed kicked from the outside.

Seeing this, Hwarang asked, "Where is the maid who found the corpse?"

Not long after, a maid hurriedly ran over. This maid was rather pretty, but at this moment, the faint brows were sad and nervous, and she was even about to cry. Hua Lang glanced at her and asked, "What is your name?" what name?"

"The little girl's name is Du Juan."

"What does it have to do with the dead?"

Du Juan's face changed suddenly, and then he quickly replied: "It's the master's maid!"

"Du Juan is not your real name, is it?"

"The little girl was sold here when she was ten years old. The master gave me this name at that time."

"Tell me what happened!"

"I am the master's maid, and I come to help the master get up every morning, but when I came today, I knocked on the door several times and there was no response. I thought the master hadn't woken up yet, so I went down first. After half an hour, it was getting late, and I called the master again, but there was still no response from inside. I was a little worried, so I called the clerk of the wine shop and knocked open the door. After the door was opened, I found that the master was dead. in."

"Who saw the dead last night?"

"It's a little girl. The master has the habit of drinking every night, and after he finishes drinking, I have to clean up the wine and food."

"What happened to the deceased?"

"No, as usual!"

Hwarang nodded, then asked, "Where do you live?"

"None of our servants live here, there is a small courtyard in front, where do we all live!"

"Where is the wife of the deceased?"

"Madam went to visit relatives yesterday afternoon. After the murder case was discovered this morning, someone has already notified Madam. It is estimated that she will be back in a few hours."

Du Juan answered Hwarang's questions fluently and in a very clear manner. After Hwarang nodded slightly, he asked, "Did anyone hear anything in the mansion last night?"

Du Juan slightly raised his head to look at Hualang, then shook his head: "We live some distance from here, unless the master shouts loudly, we can't hear anything."

After asking these questions, Hwarang asked Du Juan to go down, and then carefully searched everything in the house. There was nothing suspicious about the door, which meant that the murderer was unlikely to escape through the door. Where is the window?

Hwarang ran to the window, looked carefully, and found that everything was normal at the window, and there was no such trick as escaping first and then closing the window with other methods. Moreover, the window is very high from the ground. It must have a foundation of lightness skills, the murderer feels afraid to jump off.

If the murderer hadn't left by the door or jumped out of the window, where did he escape?

It is impossible for a murderer to disappear for no reason.

Could it be that the murderer didn't leave at all, but suddenly appeared behind everyone after the door was knocked open, but if that's the case, that person must be someone very familiar to everyone, that is to say, he is the clerk of the wine shop.

After listening to Hua Lang's words, Li Jing'an immediately sent someone to call the winery staff, of course, not all of them, but only those who knocked on the door this morning.

There were not many people, except for Du Juan, there were only two people who knocked on the door.

After hearing Hwarang's question, the two of them shook their heads again and again, saying that they were the only ones from the moment they knocked on the door to when it opened, and no one came out of the house. They were very sure, and after the door opened , someone guarded the door, and the murderer had no chance to hide in the house.

The words of these people broke Hwarang's speculation just now, and if the murderer did not escape from the scene in this way, then he must have escaped from a certain gap in the house, but where did he escape from?

Hwarang looked inside and out of the entire room, and finally focused his gaze on the top of the attic.

Because it is an attic, there is no heavy object on the roof. As long as you can climb to the roof and lift the tiles, you can escape.

Thinking of this, Hwarang hurriedly asked Yin Wucuo to go up to see if there were traces of tiles being lifted on it, and whether there were ropes.

Yin Wuzuo did a great job of lightness, after flying up, inspected it carefully, flew down and said: "Brother Hua knows things like a god, that's right, the tiles on the roof did have traces of being turned over by someone, and there is a hook on the top There are traces of hooks, so it seems like where the murderer escaped from."

Now, the secret room murder case finally figured out how it happened, and after figuring out how it happened, the next thing they have to do is to find the murderer.

Who would kill Du Yibai?

Hwarang is going to start with Du Yibai's closest person, he is going to get to know Du Yibai first.

Du Juan should be sixteen or seventeen years old now. She said that she sold herself to the Du family when she was ten, so he should know Du Yibai very well.

"What kind of person do you think Du Yibai is?"

Du Juan blushed slightly, lowered his head, and said after a long time: "Master is very smart. In the west city of Chang'an City, the wine here is the best. Master is usually upright and kind, but sometimes he drinks too much. It's easy to get drunk, and when the master is drunk, we are all afraid of him."

"Does your master have any enemies?"

"This..." Du Juan suddenly hesitated.

"It's okay, just say what you think of, and we won't leak what you say."

After getting such a guarantee from Hwarang, Du Juan said: "The business of our distillery is very good, but because the production of distiller's koji is slow, so the production is not very much. A few days ago, the master was very happy. Hearing what he and his wife said, it seems It was he who found a partner who could provide distiller's yeast. In this way, we can brew a lot of wine here, and our business will be very good. And in the West Market of Chang'an City, there are several The big wine shop and us are both competitors, and there are often conflicts between them, could it be that they have harmed the master?"

After Du Juan finished speaking, he stared at Hwarang with wide eyes, while Hwarang touched his chin and pondered for a while. He felt that what Du Juan said was very possible, but he still didn't understand clearly enough about some things. Maybe Du Yibai's wife When they get back, they can get some from her.
