Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 781
Back at the inn, Di Qing said angrily, "Cang Hai, that old bastard dared to pretend to be Master, why didn't you expose him on the spot?"

"It's easy to expose him, but I always feel that he is too strange here, Qing'er, you should temporarily suspend your anger until you see his purpose." Li Canghai poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Di Qing.

"That old bastard is clearly a charlatan, what purpose does he have?" Di Qing said angrily.

Li Canghai stroked his chin and said, "The timing of this old man's coming is too coincidental. He didn't come early, he didn't come late, and he chose to come when the murder happened. Also, based on what he said before, Fufeng Town will have Catastrophe, he turned into catastrophe, which made me more suspicious."

Li Yu was sitting at the side, playing with the green jade wrench in his hand, and suddenly interjected: "Does sir think that the old Taoist is related to the murder case?"

Li Canghai shook his head and said, "Whether he is related to the murder case or not is unknown at the moment."

"Sir, are you thinking too much? This old man just came today, but the murder case happened yesterday?" Li Yu said with his head tilted.

"Although it is so, I always feel that it is too strange for this old man." Li Canghai lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then called Lu Jitong, and whispered something in Lu Jitong's ear.

After Lu Jitong nodded, he hurriedly left the inn.

"Cang Hai, what are your thoughts on today's murder case?" Di Qing asked after taking a sip of tea.

When talking about the murder case, Li Canghai's expression instantly became serious.

"Qian Lin was killed in public. Judging from the wound on his neck, the murder weapon should be an extremely sharp thin-edged dagger. In addition, there was some dripping blood before Qian Lin fell to the ground. , I checked, it is the blood dripping from Qian Lin's neck. The blood is dripping, not splashing. It is formed by the blood dripping from the neck when bowing his head. That is to say, Qian Lin is kneeling. He was hit by the knife before, but he didn't realize it, and was still bowing. From this, it can be deduced that the murderer shot very fast, and only a good hand with a knife can swing the knife so quickly." Li Canghai clasped his hands together In the sleeves, he paced and muttered.

Di Qingxiu frowned slightly, picked up the wick with a bamboo stick, and said: "As you said, the murderer may be a master of martial arts. But I have observed everyone before, except for Luo Fu, the rest are just ordinary people. "

"The murderer doesn't have to be a master of martial arts, but he must use knives frequently. This may be a clue." Li Canghai said.

"Sir, do you mean that the murderer is likely to be a cook or a butcher?" Li Yu asked.

"This possibility is not ruled out." Li Canghai nodded.

According to his guess, if the murderer is not a master of martial arts, he must be a person who often uses knives. Among ordinary people, those who often use knives are butchers and cooks.

What's more, there are indeed cooks and butchers among the Nuo dance teams.

While talking, Zhou Chang hurried to the inn.

Seeing Li Canghai, Zhou Chang bowed slightly, then took out some papers and handed them to Li Canghai.

Li Canghai took a closer look, and immediately frowned.

Seeing that his brows were tightly furrowed, Di Qing stepped forward and asked, "Cang Hai, what is written on this paper? Why is your face so solemn?"

Li Canghai handed the note to Di Qing, and said in a deep voice: "Master Zhou has carefully investigated Qian Lin's interpersonal relationship. Although Qian Lin is the richest man in the town, he is also famous in the town for donating money with righteousness. We have a grudge against him." There are not many people, but there is only one person who had a bad relationship with Qian Lin, and this person is Luo Fu."

"So, the murderer is very likely to be Luo Fu?" Li Yu said while rubbing his chin.

"As the guard of this town, Luo Fu must have some skills. Besides, Luo Fu was wearing a mask at the time, and he probably went to Qian Lin. It is also possible to kill someone." Li Canghai paced and pondered.

"Then what are you waiting for, since you have found the murderer, you should quickly arrest him." Li Yu said eagerly.

"Now it's just a suspicion. Regarding Luo Fu, we don't have direct evidence to prove that he killed Qian Lin. Unless we find the murder weapon." Li Canghai said with narrowed eyes.

"It's easy, I'll go to his house to look for it at night." Di Qing said confidently.

Li Canghai waved his hand and said, "No. It was Xiao Xiao who broke into the private house this night. Besides, if he was really the murderer, he would never leave the murder weapon at home and wait for us to search."

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, what should I do?" Di Qing curled her lips, her little face wrinkled into a ball.

Li Canghai thought for a moment, then said, "Master Zhou, immediately send someone to monitor Luo Fu, and record every place he goes."

"I obey the orders. I wonder if my lord has other orders?" Zhou Chang asked respectfully.

Li Canghai shook his head, and said: "Human life is at stake, I'm afraid it will be hard for Mr. Zhou to go back and forth these few days."

"The lower officials are terrified. This is the job of the lower officials. My lord is serious. If my lord has nothing else to do, the lower officials will leave." Zhou Chang bowed his head hurriedly.

Li Canghai nodded, and Zhou Chang left the inn.

After Zhou Chang left, Di Qingxiu frowned and said: "Cang Hai, the Holy Majesty only gave you a month to find the elixir of life, and now we have been delayed here for three days, in my opinion, we should leave quickly." Bar!"

Li Canghai sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Qing'er, there are currently two murder cases in Fufeng Town in three days. If you leave at this time, the two murder cases will become unsolved cases and will be settled in the end. As the Dali Temple's secretary , who is in charge of the world's prisons, how can he let such a murder case go unchecked?"

"However, there are so many murders in this world, it's simply unsustainable for you alone! What's more, the Holy Majesty has given you a deadline. If you fail to find the longevity medicine within the deadline, I'm worried that the consequences will be disastrous...!" Di Qing bit her lip, a little anxiously said.

Li Canghai knew that Di Qing was worried about his safety, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and the water will naturally go straight to the bridge. Finding the elixir of life is not a matter of one day, but the current two murder cases, I must check it out."

Li Yu frowned and said, "Sir, do you think there is any connection between these two murders?"

"How do you say that?" Li Canghai asked back.

Li Yu pondered for a moment, then said: "I just find it a bit strange. There hasn't been a murder case in Fufeng Town for a long time, but now there are two cases in succession, and both of them died of murder. This is too coincidental."

Speaking of this, Li Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "Sir, do you think the two deceased were killed by the same person?"

Li Yu's words made Li Canghai's heart move suddenly, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then called Lu Jitong in.
