Great Lawyer

Chapter 846 The Death of Guan Luo ([-])

She is not shy, but afraid. Like Guan Luo, she is afraid of noble people from the bottom of her heart.

"Four nights ago, he just came back from the sea, did he come to you?"

Qiaoyan nodded: "Come, return, still eat at my house."

"When did you leave?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Qiaoyan lowered her head and replied: "Probably, it looks like the time of Haishi is right, he said he will come to see me tomorrow, and then he left."

Du Jiuyan nodded, and the man asked, "My, our money?"

Du Jiuyan asked Guo Ao to give one hundred Wen alone. The man was elated, his face flushed with excitement, and he held the money and said, "Your Excellency, if you have anything to ask, just ask, we will talk about everything."

Qiaoyan was not as excited as the man holding the money, and stood in the yard with an uneasy expression.

"no need."

Du Jiuyan looked at Qiaoyan: "Can I visit your house?"

Qiaoyan looked up at her, then quickly lowered her head, and said, "Okay!"

Several people went to Qiaoyan's house.

Her house is also very dilapidated, with three rooms and a kitchen, but it is very clean and tidy.

Qiaoyan's father passed away, and there were only her and her mother in the family.The mother was in poor health and lay in bed most of the day.

Du Jiuyan looked around for a week, and then looked at Qiaoyan's bedroom.There is nothing in the bedroom, but the bedding on the bed is new and clean.

She looked back at Qiaoyan and asked, "Where is the relationship between Liu Youpeng and you?"

Qiaoyan blushed, lowered her head and said: "He, he won't let me marry, I will follow him for the rest of my life."

"Aside from Liu Youpeng, is there anyone else?" Du Jiuyan stared at the bed, then looked back at Qiaoyan.

Qiaoyan lowered her head, tears fell, and she said: "There are, there are people."

This bed is very new, and it doesn't fit in with the dilapidated furniture in the room. It can be seen that the bed is more important than anything else to Qiaoyan.

Du Jiuyan felt that Liu Youpeng was not the only one who was so important.

"They, they are here, I dare not send them away." Qiaoyan said.

"Yes, sometimes they come together."

Qiaoyan said, squatting on the ground in pain, said: "Sometimes I really want to die, but my mother is still there, I can't leave my mother alone."

"How many people are there?" Du Jiuyan asked.

"Six people." Qiaoyan said.

"Do they all know each other?"

Qiaoyan shook her head and nodded again, not sure: "They are all nobles of the Liu family, they should, should know each other. I don't know very well, I dare not ask."

"When my mother is gone, I, I don't want to live anymore." Qiaoyan covered her face, choked up and said.

Du Jiuyan asked: "When Liu Youpeng was here with you, did no one else come?"

"No," Qiaoyan said, "I was cooking when he came, and he didn't dislike him, and ate with us. After a few mouthfuls, we went into the room... He didn't stay long, and left. "

"After he left, I closed the door and rested."

Du Jiuyan said: "Six people, who are they?"

Qiaoyan replied: "Mr. Peng, Mr. Feng, Mr. Jun... and Mr. Lun." She mentioned six people, and Du Jiuyan found out that she knew four of them.

"Chop Suey!" Du Jiuyan muttered, and said to Qiaoyan, "Understood, you can rest."

Qiaoyan wiped away her tears, sent Du Jiuyan out, and whispered: "You, are you here because Mr. Peng died?"

"Yeah." Du Jiuyan nodded, "What else do you know?"

Qiaoyan shook her head and said: "I don't know, if, if I remember it, I will tell you."

They didn't stay any longer and went back to the palace along the alley.

King Gui said: "So Mrs. Liu, why keep it!"

Du Jiuyan patted King Gui on the shoulder and comforted him: "My lord, we have a long-term plan, don't be angry! There are many girls like Qiaoyan, step by step, one day, this place will be changed by us."

In the morning, in Liu Youpeng's mourning hall, the mourning girl and the adoptive son kept the spirit.

She didn't feel anything at first, but Guo Ao said just now that this girl and child will guard Liu Youpeng's spirit for the rest of their lives, men are not allowed to leave, and women are not allowed to marry outside.

Death is dead, and the lives of the other two people will be ruined.

However, after thinking about it, it seems that there is nothing to destroy. They are still keeping vigil at home, and their lives are just as miserable.

"My lord, my concubine." Han Dang ran back with an ugly expression on his face, "Guan Luo, he's dead!"

Du Jiuyan's footsteps stopped, and his face suddenly sank: "Go and have a look."

It was Haishi, and they went directly to the back door of the school. The door of Guan Luo's usual sleeping room was open. Han Dang said, "We have been looking for him for a while, but no one has seen him."

"I thought he was going home."

"Gu Qingshan was worried, and went back here to search again, and saw Guan Luo on the bed. He was lying down, and his body was still warm."

When Du Jiuyan entered the door, Guan Luo's body was placed on the bed. It was thin and straight. Pei Ying inspected it, looked at Du Jiuyan and said, "It's arsenic!"

"Look here." She pointed to the half black-faced steamed bun on the bedside cabinet, "The poison is put in the steamed bun."

Guan Luo's nails were black and purple, his eyes were blood red, and his hands were twisted and hanging on his sides. He must have struggled before he died.

"Gu Qingshan," Du Jiuyan asked, "Is the steamed bun from the school cafeteria?"

Gu Qingshan nodded and said: "Yes, steamed buns were made in the cafeteria tonight, and each of the servants got one."

"Others are fine, only he is dead!"

Du Jiuyan stared at Guan Luo's face, and said coldly, "Are you panicking? You've learned how to kill people and silence them."

"Don't fall into my hands!"

As she said, she went out. When Liu Yi heard they were coming, he hurried over and said, "A commoner, don't scare the concubine. The villain has already called his family to bring them home and bury them."

"Man, I'll take it away." Du Jiuyan said, "You tell his family, if you want the child, go directly to the yamen to visit."

Liu Yi was startled, and said, "Well, do you want this corpse to be useful?"

"What's bothering you? I'll keep it if I want to." Du Jiuyan lost his patience. Every face of the people here was hideous, and she really wanted to kill her!
"Gu Qingshan, take Guan Luo back." Du Jiuyan ordered.

Gu Qingshan should be, he found a plank and carried him away.

Du Jiuyan searched Guan Luo's room. The keys he wore were placed under the pillow. She picked them up and counted them. There were four in total.

Other than that, there are no other valuable clues.

"We'll talk about it tomorrow." Du Jiuyan said.

Everyone go back to bed.

After they left, the students of the Liu family in the school started buzzing with each other.

Someone said: "Guan Luo's death must have been silenced by the murderer. This man is powerful enough. After killing Brother Peng, he came to silence Guan Luo again."

"Who do you say this person is?"

"I don't know. Anyway, we have no motive at all, and there is no conflict of interest with him. Even if he is not here, we will not get any benefits."

"Hehe. It looks good now. The Patriarch and King Gui have made a big bet. If we lose, we might have to move back."

Shenglong has no property, and they have to drink the northwest wind if they stay here.

"What did that Zhou Yan do? I haven't seen him for a day."

"He dare not slack off. If he loses, the Patriarch will be the first to get around him. He doesn't even know how to die."

Everyone laughed and laughed, and went to play.

Liu Zifeng stood behind the crowd, his face darkened, Liu Zijun said: "It won't be the end of the investigation, it's about us again."

"Anyway, you and I didn't kill anyone, so why don't you wrong me?"

Liu Zijun was right after thinking about it, nodded and said, "I'm worried, let's go to Zhou Yan and ask him how the investigation is going."

"Alright."

Zhou Yan was standing in front of Liu Zhen at the moment, covered in sweat. He was under a lot of pressure, and he didn't even drink his saliva all day.

Liu Zhen asked, "Have you confirmed the murderer?"

"Patriarch, we have been to the salt field today, the first scene of the crime should be there." Zhou Yan said.

Liu Zhen didn't want to hear the process, but only the result: "The result, who is the murderer?"

"Patriarch, don't worry, now that Guan Luo is dead, it must be related to this case. And Fu Ting is still in the yamen, so the suspicion of Fu Ting has been ruled out."

"Then, the murderer should still be the three people who were questioned for the first time."

Liu Zhen looked at him and said, "Zifeng, Zijun, and Ye Hu?"

"Yes!" Zhou Yan said, "especially Liu Zifeng's suspicion. His elder brother is now in charge of the saltworks, and ordinary people can't get in."

Liu Zhen asked rhetorically, "It's not easy for Liu Youpeng to get in."

"You said Liu Zifeng, then after you went there, did you ask any witnesses?"

Liu Zhen asked a very reasonable question, Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "I plan to go again tomorrow morning."

"You know very well what this case means. I believe in you, and you will definitely win Du Jiuyan. After the matter is completed, your benefits will be indispensable."

Zhou Yan handed over should be.

In the early morning of the next day, Du Jiuyan went to Liu Youpeng's house again. Liu Min received them and asked, "What else does the prince and concubine need to investigate? We will definitely cooperate."

"I want to visit Liu Youpeng's room."

Liu Min hesitated for a moment, and replied, "Okay."

Liu Min's home was about the size of Sijin. After the death of his eldest son, Mrs. Lu was left as a widow. Mrs. Lu lived alone in the inner courtyard, while Liu Youpeng lived in the outer courtyard when he became an adult.

In addition to them, there are four members of Liu Min's youngest son's family. One daughter has just reached the age of marriage and lives with her parents in the inner courtyard. The only son, Liu Youlun, lives in the outer courtyard like Liu Youpeng.

The courtyards where the two cousins ​​live are connected and share a wall.

Liu Youpeng's yard is not too big, with a total of four rooms. There are flowers and plants growing along the wall of the yard, and there is also a large water tank with several sea fishes in the water tank.

The room was very clean, and the furnishings were not fancy. On the table was a copy of "The Art of War" handed down from Da Zhou, with a few pages turned and turned upside down on the table.

"Nothing special," Guo Au said in a low voice, "Master Jiu, do you want to call your family to ask?"

Du Jiuyan picked up the book, touched it, flipped through a few pages at random, put it upside down on the table again, shook his head, and said, "Go to the yamen."

They made a detour to the yamen. At noon, Liu Zifeng and the others arrived as scheduled. Liu Zifeng seemed very irritable. Although he suppressed his emotions because of fear, his words could still show his anxiety.

Du Jiuyan just stared at him a few times, and he was sweating and fidgeting.

"Let's go back." Du Jiuyan said, "The class will open tomorrow, and today you should be familiar with the environment."

The three of them left the yamen, Liu Zifeng did not go back to the school, but went back to his own home. He didn't sleep all night last night and had a catch-up sleep in the afternoon. Please go over there."

Liu Zifeng sat up suddenly, his face turned pale, and he couldn't move his legs.

After a while, he packed up and went to look for Liu Zhen. He stayed in Liu Zhen's study for more than an hour. When he came out, he was wet all over and fell headlong in the yard, unconscious.

　Let's guess, why did Liu Zifeng come out of Liu Zhen's room so scared, and fell down in the yard unconscious?
