Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 71 The Murderer
Wu Zuo turned the reception room on the first floor into an autopsy room, and the body of the nun who died earlier was lying on one side, covered with a white cloth.The corpse, which had been fished out of the river, was still dripping and dripping on the table.When Shen Yu entered, Wu Zuo was turning over the corpse.The back of the corpse's head had been scratched halfway by the flying claws, probably because it had been soaked in water, and the red and white wounds were very hideous.

"How did that nanny die?"

"The wound matches the steel rod you sent over. The murderer used that to puncture the internal organs of the deceased, and finally died of bleeding."

"Let's see what this is first?" Shen Yu handed the small bottle to Wu Zuo.

Wu Zuo carefully uncorked the bottle, poured it head-down into a bowl of water, and there was nothing. Finally, he knocked on the bottom of the bottle with his finger, and a black worm fell into the water.Probably because they are not used to the environment in the water, the bugs are wriggling and rolling.

"My lord, you should ask Miracle Doctor Xue to see if it is some kind of poisonous insect."

"Understood, you can continue to examine this person. I will temporarily live in Mingzhu Tower for a few days, and I will meet someone alone."

Shen Yu took the bag of pearls to look for Dai Sihai, and finally saw Dai Sihai on the roof of a winery.

"Master Shen, I found you here so quickly." Dai Sihai said as he threw over a jar of wine in his hand, "Immortals are drunk, it is said that ten-year-old wine is the best, but unfortunately I can't find it, so let's make do with the eight-year-old wine Let's drink."

"Thank you." Shen Yu took it and sat down about three feet away from Dai Sihai, "Tell me about what you saw when you were stealing pearls today?"

"I did go to the shopkeeper to ask for a deposit, but I found a familiar hand inside, and then I followed all the way to the treasure room. After the glazed lamp was extinguished, the kid went down. He can be regarded as a master of arts. After a cup of tea, I opened all the locks and stole the pearls, so I took the bag away in the chaos. Originally, I wanted to keep it for myself, but it turned out that the medicine had taken effect, and the thief ran away, so I took the bag away. The pearl bag was placed on Miss Su."

"Do you know that little thief?"

"This." Dai Sihai pointed to the wine jar in Shen Yu's hand, "Hu Liuzhi, once you put this on the table, he promises to leave everything behind."

"What's in the vial?"

"What small bottle? I took the pearl and the bag from that man." Dai Sihai took a sip and continued, "Master Shen, the shopkeeper of Pearl Tower is not easy."

"I know, you shouldn't come out to meddle recently, I can't do two things at once."

Tch, Dai Sihai was also puzzled that Su Tiange didn't disclose his connection with Ruyifang to Shen Yu.Otherwise, if he went to Mingzhu Tower today, Shen Yu would have guessed that the shopkeeper was related to the Ruyifang case.But what he should be more worried about now is that he found the Pearl Tower based on the clues left by those two subordinates. Obviously, those two people had been to the Pearl Tower and had contact with the shopkeeper there.And the shopkeeper of Mingzhu Tower was the one who entrusted him to steal things.

Did those two people have already stolen the account book, but sold it for a higher price behind his back, and they were murdered to silence them?Dai Sihai didn't want to think badly about his brother, but more and more clues proved that this was the case. The two brothers did steal something without telling him, but there is no proof of where the things are now.

Dai Sihai jumped down after drinking the wine in the jar, he had to look for the account book.

Shen Yu returned to the Pearl Tower with the fairy drunk, and Wu Zuo was still doing the autopsy there, so he first went to the place where the man in gray was detained.

"My lord, I picked a medicine out of that kid's mouth. The joint has been closed for him, but he just didn't say a word." Seeing Shen Yu, Lin Shan reported the situation, and Shen Yu nodded and entered the room. The person was firmly tied to the chair and could not move.

"It's just a small boy who steals things in the Jianghu, but he still has the integrity that he would rather die than submit. Shen admires it very much. But even if you don't say anything, I know who you are." Shen Yu drunk the immortal on the table Once released, the seal was opened and the aroma of wine permeated the room.

"This must be familiar to you." Shen Yu patted the wine jar and watched Hu Liuzhi start to swallow uncomfortably, "I said, I will leave this jar of wine to you, otherwise I will feed the fish in the Huaihe River. And this It's the last pot of fairy drunk in this world, the boss has been arrested by me, and the wine cellar has been smashed by me."

"You..." Hu Liuzhi almost gritted his teeth and said this, but Shen Yu didn't give him a chance to think, he took the jar to the window and began to fall down.Wow, Hu Liuzhi felt his brain hurt when he heard it, wow, an extreme longing spread from his mouth to his limbs, he swallowed and said, "I say."

"Why did you kill that nanny?"

"The stolen pearl disappeared, so I went down again, but the woman was not affected this time. He saw me coming down and was about to call for someone, so I gave her a shot in a hurry."

Shen Yu came back and asked Lin Shan to fetch a bowl and poured a bowl of wine for Hu Liuzhi, and asked Lin Shan to feed him, "Whose is the small bottle in the bag?"

"It should be one of those women. As soon as I put it in the bag, I was groped away when I turned around."

"Who told you to come to Pearl Tower to steal things last night?"

"Who is there? I've wanted to come to the Pearl Tower for a long time. Last night, so many people took advantage of troubled waters." Hu Liuzhi looked longingly at the wine jar in Shen Yu's hand.

"I said, to be honest, the wine was fed to the fish in the Huaihe River. It's a pity that the wine is so good." Shen Yu threw the wine jar casually, and there was a clear and clear sound, and the wine jar fell into the water inside.Hu Liuzhi closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at it.

"Bring him back to the Yamen, and close the case with Master Shangshu."

The case of Mingzhu Tower was concluded, it was a frenzied thief who stole, murdered and robbed.It took Shen Yu less than a day to find out the truth and find the murderer. The Ministry of Punishment was greatly commended in front of the emperor, and the entire capital city was honored by this jade-faced Shura.

In a courtyard in the capital, Fang Qilan stood at the door of the study and waited for two incense sticks before the door of the study opened.

"Master let you in."

Fang Qilan took a deep breath and walked into the room, "Master."

Through a beaded curtain, Fang Qilan could only see a blurry figure standing by the window without looking back, "From now on, you are not allowed to act without my order, and you don't come looking for me without sending someone to meet you."

"Yes, I..." Fang Qilan looked at the back and suddenly didn't dare to speak. She didn't dare and didn't want to see any sullen look on that face. She took a deep breath and summoned up her courage and said, "Master, I miss you." Come here." These words almost exhausted all her strength, the room was silent, the air seemed to be stagnant, Fang Qilan only felt that the blood in her whole body was also frozen in this stagnation.

"Okay, don't do anything until I arrange it."

"Yes." Fang Qilan replied almost suppressing her desire to jump out, and she slowly turned and exited the study.She deliberately didn't think about the fact that she lost a bottle of medicine, she was afraid that this hard-won opportunity would be wiped out because of this incident, not to mention that it was just a bottle of medicine, and she still had time to make up for it.

Fang Qilan walked for a long time, the bead curtain shook, and a figure came out from the shadows, "Master, will letting her come to your side cause suspicion?"

"Aren't we less suspicious?"
