Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 776
There was a bush near the cliff, and Lu Jitong's voice came from behind the bush.

This piece of thorns is about half a person's height, densely connected together, like a wall.

Among the thorn bushes, there is a man-made road, and at the end of the road is a small wooden house.

Li Canghai walked into the wooden house, looked up and looked around.

The wooden house is not big, inside there is a wooden bed that can only accommodate one person lying on its side, a quilt is placed on the wooden bed, and there is a low wooden table next to the wooden bed.

Other than that, there is nothing else in the cabin.

Li Canghai carefully flipped through the quilt, but found no clues in the quilt.

"It seems that this is the wooden house where the deceased lived. Brother Lu, look around and see if you can find any useful clues." Li Canghai said.

After Lu Jitong nodded, he began to search around.

Li Canghai glanced at the wooden house again, but the wooden house was extremely simple and there was no clue at all.

Sighing, Li Canghai subconsciously clapped his hands, planning to leave.

But at this moment, Li Canghai suddenly saw the dust on his hands, and was stunned for a moment.

"Dust?" Li Canghai looked at his palm, and found that there was still a layer of dust on his palm, and a clear handprint was printed on the low wooden table next to the wooden bed.

And that fingerprint was left by his own palm.

At this time, Lu Jitong walked in, and seeing Li Canghai staring at his palm in a daze, he asked suspiciously, "My lord, what's wrong with you?"

Only then did Li Canghai come back to his senses, clapped his hands, and said, "It's nothing, just some unclear thoughts. How did you find it?"

"The humble officer checked the surroundings, and there was nothing suspicious. My lord, what should we do now?" Lu Jitong said.

Li Canghai lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, "I'm afraid there are no clues about this wooden house, so let's go to the cliff and check again."

After speaking, the two left the wooden house and returned to the cliff again.

The two searched the edge of the cliff several times, and after confirming that there were no clues left, they left the cliff and returned to Fufeng Town.

It was evening when we returned to Fufeng Town.

As soon as the two arrived in front of the town, they saw a man who looked like a housekeeper, standing in front of the town and waiting for them.

"You two sons, my master is hosting a banquet in the mansion, and I specially asked the younger one to welcome the two of you to the banquet." The man said respectfully to the two of them.

"Who is your master?" Li Canghai asked.

"My master's surname is Qian and his name is Lin." The housekeeper said.

"Qian Lin? Why is he throwing a banquet at this time?" Lu Jitong asked.

The butler lowered his head and said respectfully: "Master said that this is to clean up the young masters and the county magistrate, so that the young one must invite two young masters."

Li Canghai nodded, and said, "Since that's the case, then it's better to be respectful than obey orders."

"Both young masters, please get into the carriage." The butler hurriedly led the two into the carriage and headed towards Qian's residence.

Qian Mansion is the leading big family in Fufeng Town, with pavilions, pavilions, rockery gardens, everything in the mansion.

When Li Canghai and Lu Jitong came to Qian's mansion, Qian Lin, county magistrate Zhou Chang and others were chatting in front of the door.

They were accompanied by Liu Yang, the mayor, and Zheng Luo Fu, the guard.

Seeing Li Canghai approaching, Zhou Chang, Qian Lin and others rushed forward to salute, while Luo Fu stood there with his arms crossed, with a look of disdain on his face.

"Mr. Li, you're here. I'm still worried that you won't like the humble house and don't want to come!" Qian Lin clasped his fists and said half-jokingly.

Li Canghai saluted with a salute, and said with a calm smile, "Brother Qian, you are serious. It's Li's luck that Brother Qian hosted a banquet for Li when he first arrived!"

"Where to talk, where to talk. The banquet has already been set up, please come inside, Mr. Li!" Qian Lin said politely.

Li Canghai nodded, no longer being polite, and took the lead to step into the threshold.

Immediately afterwards, everyone entered the mansion one by one.

When they came to the living room, everyone sat down as guests and hosts, and then began to hold a feast.

Qian Lin raised his wine glass and said excitedly to Li Canghai: "Mr. Li, you are really capable, and you actually invited the magistrate here. I really want to know who you are? Great face?"

Li Canghai smiled indifferently, and said: "Li is just a businessman, what face does he have?"

"Hey, in my opinion, Mr. Li is imposing and imposing, and he is definitely not an ordinary businessman." Qian Lin said while shaking his wine glass.

"Brother Qian, I'm really a businessman. I just met a few court officials. It's not because of Li's face that the county magistrate can come here, but because the county magistrate cares about the people." Li Canghai said with a smile .

When Zhou Chang heard this, a layer of sweat rose on his forehead.

"Young Master Li, he is indeed an ordinary businessman. He told me about the murder case here in detail, and I also felt that there was something strange about it, so I decided to come and check it out. Don't ask Mr. Li's identity again, Mr. Qian Dashan. Here we go, I would like to offer you a toast!" Zhou Chang grinned in embarrassment.

Everyone raised their glasses one after another, but Luo Fu sat there with an ugly face.

"Brother Luo, why don't you raise your glass?" Qian Lin asked in surprise.

Luo Fu didn't speak, but his face changed a few times.

The corners of Li Canghai's mouth rose slightly, and he said with a calm smile, "Captain Luo, do you still remember what you said before?"

Hearing the words, Qian Lin was suddenly stunned, and hurriedly said: "Brother Luo once said that if Mr. Li can invite the county magistrate, he will kowtow to Mr. Li!"

Luo Fu's face instantly turned pale. He gave Qian Lin a hard look, stood up abruptly, walked to his seat, and was about to kneel down in front of Li Canghai.

Seeing this, Li Canghai smiled indifferently, stopped him, and said, "Keep your word, Luo Dui is worthy of being a real man. However, I didn't take this matter seriously, Luo Dui is just as good as he is."

"I, Luo Fu, keep my word. Since I lost to you, I must fulfill my promise!" Luo Fu said, not allowing Li Canghai to stop him, so he knelt down and kowtowed to Li Canghai.

Li Canghai nodded inwardly, although this Luo Fu is a rough man, he is also a man of his word.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit weird, Qian Lin hurriedly called the singer to dance for fun.

The crowd cheered again.

After drinking for three rounds, Liu Yang asked about the murder case.

Li Canghai probably told everyone about some of his discoveries. It was not until Xushi that Li Canghai and Lu Jitong left the Qian Mansion and returned to the inn.

As soon as they returned to the inn, Di Qing and Li Yu couldn't wait to rush into Li Canghai's room, pulling him to ask about the murder case.

Li Canghai put all the things he picked up during the day on the table, and then discussed with Di Qing and Li Yu.

From the kite skeleton found in the abyss to the lanterns and candles on the cliffs, these inconspicuous things are extremely precious to Li Canghai.
