Master comes down the mountain, I don’t know martial arts, but I am an immortal

The Li House that Lin Manqing and Hou Qigui mentioned was of course not the old house of the Li family, but the house next door to the old house that they bought from Zhou Shaoyi.

When Zhou Shaoyi bought the house from Gong Yinluo, he actually never lived in it.

It stands to reason that this house is not cheap. Although Zhou Shaoyi was also a wealthy businessman at that time, he lost the minerals in Jinzhou and did not have much capital left. It was unreasonable to buy such a big house but not live in it.

But if it's used to hide things, it makes sense.

"But, we have already renovated that house. If something was hidden, how could it not be discovered?" Hou Qigui asked curiously.

Lin Manqing said: "Think about why Zhou Shaoyi bought a Western courtyard to hide something? Because this kind of old Western courtyard is a cultural relic and cannot be rebuilt at will, let alone demolished. Can a house be used to hide something? Thing, this Zhou Shaoyi is also a talent!"

Hou Qigui nodded and said: "When I used to make antiques, ordinary things were placed outside, good things were hidden in hidden compartments, and no matter how good they were, they were placed in secret rooms, and those that couldn't see the light could only be dug three feet into the ground. Although the house next door is It has been renovated, but the foundation and walls have not been touched much. The original appearance has been preserved according to the requirements of the Cultural Relics Bureau. I will go and dig it again. "

Lin Manqing said: "You are the manager, so don't do things like digging the ground. Just let the people below do it. No matter how precious things are, they are only external possessions. Don't let people think that our Li family is doing it just for that thing." Provoke the Wu family."

Hou Qigui felt that what Madam said made sense, but he also understood that this thing must be very important. Madam could deal with it indifferently, but he, the housekeeper, had to take it to heart. After thinking about it, he said:

"I'll let Axi go, Axi can be relied on."

After that, he took his leave and made arrangements.

Not long after Hou Qigui left, Wu Yuqi hurried over and said, "Madam, it's not good, Wu Jinshan is dead!"

……

Wu Jinshan is indeed dead.

The first person to discover that Wu Jinshan was dead was Wu Ma.

In the afternoon, Wu's mother went to collect the dishes and chopsticks, and saw Wu Jinshan bleeding from all his orifices.

She was frightened and rushed out to call security.

Wu Yuqi arrived with security guards, and after having people protect the scene, he went to report to his wife.

When Lin Manqing rushed to the back room, Wu Jinshan was already dead. He was bleeding from all his orifices, and the blood was still black. He had obviously died of poisoning.

There were also leftover food on the table and food boxes that he didn't have time to take away.

Lin Manqing immediately had people seal off the scene and the kitchen.

The results of the food inspection came out quickly. Arsenic trioxide, commonly known as arsenic, was detected on the plate of honey.

Poisoning suspects are easy to identify. First of all, they are the kitchen staff who have access to the ingredients, including purchasers, preparers and chefs, and of course Master Rong.

Next is Wu Ma who delivers the food, and finally the security guard guarding the back room.

Master Rong was furious: "I hate this grandson, but why did I poison him? I had enough to eat? Besides, if I wanted to kill him, was it necessary to poison him? I chopped him into pieces with a knife. , you can’t find any scum in it!”

Of course Lin Manqing didn't believe that Master Rong did it, but to convince the public, Master Rong's suspicion could not be ruled out until the evidence was conclusive.

The kitchen was searched and the dishes were sent for testing, but there were no problems.

So the main suspect shifted from the people in the kitchen to Wu Ma.

Master Rong said: "I'm just telling you, why are you adding food to that grandson who is so good, and adding two good dishes? It turns out it's a decapitated meal! Mother Wu, Mother Wu, I see you are an honest person at ordinary times, how could you do such a thing? Woolen cloth?"

Wu's mother was so frightened that she trembled: "How dare I kill anyone! The lady ordered me to add vegetables, and I just followed her instructions. How could I have known that he would be dead? I didn't know that the vegetables were poisonous!"

Master Rong said: "My apprentice cooked the food and you gave it to me. If you say you didn't poison it, does that mean my apprentice poisoned it?"

Wu Ma wiped her tears in grievance: "I didn't say that!"

At this time, Wu Yuqi, who led the search, came back with a transparent plastic bag containing a piece of paper containing medicine.

She raised the bag in her hand and said, "I found this from Mother Wu's room. There is arsenic powder left on the paper on which the medicine is wrapped. Mother Wu, what else do you have to say?"

When people saw the evidence, they were very sad. They didn't expect that an honest person like Wu Ma would kill someone.

Mother Wu was even more horrified and said in a trembling voice: "Impossible! I have never bought arsenic! I don't know where to buy arsenic!"

Wu Yuqi said: "Mama Wu, please stop pretending. When you were delivering food, I saw that your expression was different from usual, so I came here to check. But I didn't expect that you would poison me. Alas, I was also careless. It would have been better if I had checked more at that time.”

Lin Manqing glanced at her and asked in surprise, "Were you there at that time?"

Wu Yuqi said: "Yes, I happened to be passing by on patrol and saw Wu Ma looking a little strange, so I took a look."

"Do you know that you will also be included in the suspect list?" Lin Manqing said.

Wu Yuqi was stunned for a moment, his face changed imperceptibly, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Of course, the fact that I can say it proves that I have a clear conscience."

Hou Qigui, who was silent for a while, sneered and said, "Wu Yuqi, do you think my wife and I are blind, or do you think we are fools?"

Wu Yuqi was still calm and composed in front of Lin Manqing, but facing the housekeeper, he felt a little frightened for some reason.

"Butler Hou, what do you mean?"

"Wu Yuqi, you have been a security guard for so long, don't you know that our courtyard is full of surveillance cameras?"

"Of course I know. I know every surveillance location..." Wu Yuqi suddenly stopped talking, knowing that he shouldn't answer this.

Hou Qigui sneered: "Yes, you are a security guard. You can enter and exit the monitoring room at any time. You know the location of each monitor, so you can easily avoid them. But what you don't know is that in addition to electronic monitoring, Li House also has other A monitoring system.”

"Another one?" Wu Yuqi was a little surprised.

"Humph, don't forget who Mr. Li is! In addition to electronic monitoring, Li's house also has a set of immortal formations. This formation is to prevent outside thieves, and of course it can also be used for surveillance. Huang Dashan is next door You can easily see your every move in the Daxian Temple.”

After Hou Qigui finished speaking, the air next to him shook, and Huang Dashan's figure appeared in the void. He stretched out and said lazily: "Oh, I thought someone had called in, and asked me to activate the magic circle to check. It turns out that there is a little thief! Wu Yuqi, you have been exposed!"

Hearing what Huang Dashan said, Wu Yuqi's face changed drastically. He knew that he couldn't run away, and said sadly: "I made a miscalculation. Now that you know about it, it's up to you how to deal with it."

Everyone was shocked when they heard Wu Yuqi's admission. They felt it was even more unacceptable than Wu Ma's poisoning.

All the elders in Li Zhai know that Wu Yuqi was still a child when she came to Li Zhai, and she followed Li Asi all day long, saying that she would replace her sister Wu Yuchun and depend on Li Asi for the rest of her life.

Wu Ma even went crazy, grabbed Wu Yuqi and tore her apart: "Why do you want to wrongly accuse me! Why?!"

Wu Yuqi's collar was torn.

Hou Qigui asked someone to pull Wu Ma away and asked coldly: "Tell me, why did you kill Wu Jinshan?"

Wu Yuqi said: "I won't tell you, just kill me."

"Even if you don't tell me, I know that you are from the Wu family in Jinzhou. Your surname is Wu, right?" Hou Qigui's face was as dark as a chopping board covered with knife marks.

Wu Yuqi's body trembled: "So what? It's not important anymore anyway."

"Just admit it." Hou Qigui suddenly laughed, "Let me tell you one more thing. Li House has formations, but the formations cannot be used for surveillance."

Huang Dashan next to him said swayingly: "Okay, my task is completed. You can take care of your family affairs slowly. I will go back first."

After saying that, he swayed and disappeared from everyone's sight.
