Xiao Liu searched again, and when he came back, he had two heavy bundles in his hands.

"You are right. We found Xiruan in the south room. It seems that she hasn't escaped yet."

It should be said that they came too fast, the other party did not have time to escape, but there is no secret door in this room, where will this woman hide?
Where else in the whole room could one hide?Lin Muxue raised her head and looked at the beams. The four-meter-high beams were too high for ordinary people to climb.

And if there is someone on the beam, you can see it when you look up, it is really not a good place to hide.

She walked into the courtyard and looked around, suddenly the tiles on the eaves caught her attention. These tiles are made of bluestone and are extremely strong, even a grown man standing on them will not crush the roof.

"Xiao Liu, come on"

Lin Muxue greeted the roof, and Xiao Liu, who was as light as a swallow's feet, stepped on the courtyard wall and came to the roof with a bang.

"Ah~"

A woman's scream came out, and Lin Muxue knew that she had guessed right this time, and that the outer house was really hidden on the roof.

Xiao Liu came down with the woman, a thin woman with a bit of beauty, much more beautiful than Zhang Quan's old wife.

"Are you Zhang Quan's concubine?"

The woman was still in panic, seeing a seductive girl in front of her, the panic in her heart subsided a lot.

"I am, but I haven't done anything bad, so don't catch me!"

Lin Muxue glanced at her, like a cheetah looking at its prey, making her feel uncomfortable and being seen through.

"If you didn't commit a crime, why did you run away?"

The woman immediately lowered her head, not daring to look at Lin Muxue, but sobbed softly.

"Don't cry and cry, tell me, did you participate in Zhang Quan's poisoning?"

Facing Lin Muxue's questioning, the woman spoke intermittently
"I really didn't kill my husband with poison. The reason I ran away was because I was afraid of his wife."

"That Zhang Quan's wife has long disliked me and often comes here to beat me up. I'm afraid of killing her."

"I heard that Lang Jun was killed by her. I was also afraid that she would kill me, so I packed my things and left."

Lin Muxue looked at what the woman said, although it was reasonable, but full of loopholes.

"Then Wang Yue'e has been arrested, what are you still afraid of?"

"I think it's because Wang Yue'e was arrested and you ran away immediately. There must be a reason for it. If you don't say it now, you won't be able to get out when you go to Dali Temple later."

As she said that, Lin Muxue took the Dali Temple Shaoqing badge in her hand and waved it in front of the woman's eyes.

When a woman saw the waist card of Dali Temple, she was frightened and frightened, and she never dared to deny it
"It really has nothing to do with me"

"The reason why I want to run is because I am afraid that my wife will take my money"

Lin Muxue asked

"How much money do you have that can make you so afraid?"

The woman pointed to the south room in the courtyard, and then said

"There are almost ten pennies, I hid them underground"

Xiao Liu was inconceivable when he heard that, one stealing one tenant, he was worth ten pennies, which was much more than his bad guy earned.

"Did Zhang Quan give you those?"

Ten Guan is not a big money of a hundred or ten, this money is not something that Zhang Quan can steal or earn.

"Yes, a few days ago Zhang Quan came back with eight strings of money, saying that he made a windfall."

"After leaving the money, he didn't come for a few days, and the day before he died, he had a rest, left two money and left."

If this woman didn't lie, how did Zhang Quan have ten pennies?

"Xiao Liu, go dig out the money and send her to live in Dali Temple, don't let anyone hurt her"

"Also, check whether there has been a large-scale loss of money in Chang'an recently."

Lin Muxue then rushed back to Dali Temple, where Liao Yuzhu and Chang Le were waiting for her.

"Is there any progress? Is the woman in the house the murderer?"

Liao Yuzhu asked her earnestly

"No, it's just that ten pennies were found in her home, which is too strange."

Changle and Liao Yuzhu are also at a loss, the more they are at this time, the more everyone can guess
"Tell me, is it possible that the theft of money from Wang Tongde's home has something to do with Zhang Quan?"

"Could it be the day that Zhang Quan stole Wang Tongde's house, and this scene happened to be seen by the murderer. The murderer was afraid of having long nights and dreams, so he killed Zhang Quan as well?"

Chang Le's conjecture is very reasonable, but the amount of the money has yet to be confirmed. She has to go to the gambling house in person to see if the amount of windfall Wang Tongde made on that day is consistent with it?
In the afternoon, Xiao Liu came back, and his speed was much faster than that of the Dali Temple officials.

"I have inquired, there have been recent thefts, but there have been no cases of more than usual money"

Since there was no theft, it means that Zhang Quan's money came from a very problematic source, and Lin Muxue had to dig deep into the source of the money.

"Go, take me to the gambling house where Wang Tongde won money"

Chang'an Mingdemen Anle Square, Hengtong gambling stall.

Xiao Liu led her through the crowds of gambling stalls, through the casino to the secret door at the end.

"Third, big sister is here, come out quickly"

A commotion was heard inside the door, and then a bald man in loose clothes rushed out. When he saw Lin Muxue, his eyes were tearful.

"He also said that he would never see Eldest Sister again. Didn't you get redeemed to enjoy the blessings?"

"Could it be possible to have a wrap-up meeting? Don't be afraid that Xiaoliu and I will handle it properly for you."

Lin Muxue gave the third child and the sixth child a white look. Why do these two guys think exactly the same thing? Is she the kind of person who runs away with money?
"Third, I'm here to inquire about something"

The third child wondered, did this aunt stop playing the pipa and investigate the case with the sixth child?

"Sister, just ask, is there anything else in Chang'an that I don't know?"

Lin Muxue doesn't have time to listen to him bragging
"A few days ago, Wang Tongde from Anyi Square made a fortune with you. Do you know how much he won that day?"

The third child touched the top of his smooth head and recalled

"Not much, just a hundred and ten dollars"

"This is not a windfall. The money is not enough for him to gamble for a few days. That kid loses quickly because of his addiction."

In the eyes of a gambler like Wang Tongde, can a hundred dollars be considered a windfall?They will be overjoyed only if they win a couple of rounds by killing the Quartet, so he went to the market to splurge, did he really win the hundred and ten dollars?
Something was wrong, something was wrong, Wang Tongde's behavior was wrong, Zhang Quan's money was wrong, there was something strange about all of these.

"Wang Tongde, that rotten guy, you ask him what he is doing, that guy was not honest before he died, he was still fighting with people in the alley outside the gambling stall."

The third child casually said that Wang Tongde was not, just a rascal, there are many such people in the game, even if he was poisoned to death here, it would not be surprising at all.

Lin Muxue became energetic when he heard it, and there was light in his eyes.

"Then tell me, who was he fighting at the intersection?"

The third child was taken aback, Lin Muxue was too concerned
"I don't know who it is. It was already late that day, and I could only see two black figures in the alley next to the gambling stall."
