Every time you cross, you are in a prison cell in Dali Temple
Chapter 83 Proposing Marriage, Hasty
Huang Jiu wanted to explain subconsciously, but stopped abruptly.If Li Wan misunderstood, that would be great, he doesn't need to explain anything, just let him continue to misunderstand.
Huang Jiu simply lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then said: "Master Li, let's go first, if the servants in the house see this situation, I'm afraid it will damage your reputation."
Huang Jiu seemed really reasonable, and Li Wan felt guilty.
Li Wan's heart wavered from side to side, thinking that Miss Huang was so considerate, if she really walked away like this, she wouldn't be a man at all.
But if I don't leave now, those people will not only ruin my reputation, but also implicate Miss Huang and be criticized behind my back.
Li Wan thought about it, and decided to leave first before talking about other things, so as not to cause more right and wrong.As for Miss Huang...
Li Wan suddenly held Huang Jiu's hand. Huang Jiu had a ghost in his heart. He was startled, and he subconsciously shook off Li Wan's hand.
Seeing that he reacted so strongly, Li Wan thought it was because she was frightened by her "beast behavior" last night, and immediately said in a very gentle voice, "Miss Huang, don't be afraid, I will definitely take responsibility for you Yes, I swear! Or the sky will be struck by lightning!"
Huang Jiu's face was full of confusion, he just wanted to say that it's okay to be struck by lightning, it's not necessary.But he couldn't say this, and he might reveal his secrets once he uttered it.
Li Luo knocked loudly on the door outside, and there was no more time for Li Wan to dawdle.Li Wan hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll go first, I will take responsibility for this matter, don't worry about it."
After he finished speaking, he moved nimbly, pushed open the window, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
As soon as Li Wan left, Huang Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't stop thinking about what kind of bad idea Mr. Li came up with, it was a mess.
Li Luo patted on the door outside for a long time, Huang Jiu tidied himself up, closed the window, and then walked over to open the door.
Huang Jiu looked very calm, just like before, lowered his head and coughed and said, "Brother Luo is you. I just got up and tidied up, so I wasted time."
"It's nothing." Li Luo waved his hands indifferently, and said to him with a smile, "I brought a lot of breakfast here, let's have dinner together!"
Huang Jiu nodded, since there were no outsiders in the room anyway, he simply took two steps back and let Li Luo walk in.
Li Luo walked in with the two little ones Xie Changying and Zhao Shuangxi, and the servant behind him also came in with breakfast.
Sure enough, there was no one else in the room, Li Luo turned his eyes, and immediately checked the situation in the room thoroughly, he didn't see the embarrassed Li Wan, but he didn't see any disappointment, he asked the servant to arrange it earlier, and let the servant leave.
Once the servant left, there were no outsiders in the house, and Huang Jiu didn't need to pretend to be a girl anymore.
Huang Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, and soon met Li Luo's playful gaze.He tried his best to look calm and composed, and said, "Mr. Li looks disappointed?"
Li Luo shook his head, still smiling, and said, "I'm smiling so happily, how can I be disappointed? I'm very happy."
Xie Changying also found out that Li Wan was missing, which was somewhat different from Li Luo's plan, but it was still in Li Luo's plan.
Li Luo said: "My purpose is to let Ah Huang stay in Li's house, so that the investigation will be convenient. Our purpose is not to make Li Wan look ugly, I am not putting the cart before the horse, I know it very well."
So Li Luo brought someone to catch the rape early in the morning, but in fact, he didn't really want to catch Li Wan in person, he just came to "force" Li Wan to submit.
Li Luo giggled, rubbing his hands with excitement on his face, and said, "I've imagined your situation in the house, you must have taken Li Wan's face into consideration, so let him go. As for Li Wan, he looks cold , but he is an honest gentleman in his heart, he must be moved when he heard what you said. So..."
Speaking of this, Li Luo laughed wretchedly again: "Li Wan must be very grateful. He is devoted to you and will definitely come back and take responsibility! Then you can stay in Li's house smoothly."
Huang Jiu suddenly had a headache, because Li Luo had guessed everything right, and it turned out that this was also part of Li Luo's plan.
Li Luo didn't really want to make a fool of Li Wan, but just wanted to complete the plan.
Li Luo looked at me with a very understanding look on his face, and said: "Besides, Mr. Li is so good-looking, how can I have the heart to make him make a fool of himself in public?"
Huang Jiu: "..."
"Cough!" Xie Changying coughed with a dark face.
Li Luo immediately said to Xie Changying: "Yingying, you don't need to be jealous, this is good-looking and very classy, you are the most beautiful, no one can match, they are just ordinary good-looking, so you have a special place in my heart." It is unshakable!"
Xie Changying: "..."
Xie Changying was praised, but she couldn't laugh at all, and said, "Then if you meet someone who looks better than me, will my position be shaken?"
"This..." Li Luo shook his head again and again, and said, "Of course not. There is a saying that Xi Shi is in the eye of the beholder. In my eyes, you are naturally Xi Shi, the prettiest."
Xie Changying frowned, and he found a new problem, and said, "Who is Xi Shi? She is the prettiest?"
"This..." Li Luo felt that his description was getting darker and darker, and he was afraid that he would lose his head if he continued to explain, so he changed the subject stiffly and said, "Why don't we talk about the Phoenix Box!"
On the other side, Li Wan successfully left and hurried back to his room.
He was still in a state of turmoil in his heart, and he couldn't remember what he did last night, why he gave Miss Huang to...
However, Li Wan didn't doubt Huang Jiu in his heart. Firstly, Huang Jiu's reaction seemed very forbearing, and he helped Li Wan speak, so that Li Wan could not doubt him.
These three...
In fact, Li Wan has amnesia. For a period of time, Li Wan’s memory is not very clear. Occasionally, Li Wan’s memory will be confused. It’s normal to have a headache and dizziness, so Li Wan suddenly can’t remember what happened last night. It's an old problem.
Li Wan is the Minister of Dali Temple, and he often handles some weird cases.Once before, when Li Wan left the capital to investigate a case, he unexpectedly encountered a heavy rain on the way. He rolled down the mountain and hit his head. It can be said that his head was bleeding. Fortunately, he was rescued by a passer-by. Otherwise, let alone amnesia , even a life is gone.
After that, Li Wan rested at home for several days before recovering.But after waking up, Li Wan couldn't remember why he left the capital, nor how he rolled down the mountain, his mind went blank, and he occasionally felt dizzy.
Li Wan entered the room, quickly closed the door, and then heaved a sigh of relief, only to feel that his behavior was really getting weirder and weirder.
Thinking of Ms. Huang, Li Wan regretted it for a while, but Li Wan was an upright gentleman, and thought in her heart that no matter what, she still had to give Ms. Huang an explanation.
"Knock knock!"
"Master."
Li Wan entered the door in a hurry, and before she could go into the inner room, a maid knocked on the door.
Li Wan was startled by the maid's voice, and said through the door, "What's the matter?"
The servant girl stood outside and said: "Master, I have found all the scrolls you asked to find earlier, and I brought them here for you."
Li Wan breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't a big deal, it was just a scroll.
Li Wan took office in Dali Temple, and was busy every day, and the books he needed were also very complicated.The day before yesterday, in order to investigate a case, he asked his servants to find some related books.The servants did not dare to neglect, they hurriedly found the scrolls, and brought them to Li Wan early in the morning.
Li Wan was afraid that if she didn't open the door, the maid would notice something strange about her, so she tidied up her skirts to make sure there were no flaws, then opened the door and said, "Bring it in, and put it on the desk."
"Yes, sir."
The maid came in with the book in her hand, and she really didn't see anything wrong with Li Wan, so she went into the inner room with the scroll and went to Li Wan's desk.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Here, Li Wan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the servant girl's terrified scream.
Then there was the sound of clattering, the scroll must have fallen to the ground, and the maid was so panicked that she even bumped into the shelf next to her.
The room was buzzing for a while, and Li Wan quickly followed up to check the situation.
In the inner room, the servant girl fell to the ground, her eyes widened in shock, she pointed forward like chaff, and said, "Dead...dead!"
Li Wan followed in, cracks appeared on his originally calm face, and he couldn't help gasping, it was really a dead person, and a dead person appeared in Li Wan's room.
Li Wan didn't rest in his room yesterday, and he just rushed back, so he didn't have time to enter the inner room, so naturally he had no way of knowing in advance that there was a dead person here.
"Yes... it's Madam Qi! Madam Qi is dead... dead!"
The servant girl yelled intermittently, and it took a long time before she found the strength to get up, rushed out of the room in panic, and ran away.
Li Wan panicked for a moment, and quickly calmed down. After all, he had been the Minister of Dali Temple for a long time, and the dead people he saw most were dead people.
Li Wan approached the corpse, bent down and knelt down to observe by herself.
"Dead!"
"Madam Qi is dead!"
"Madam Qi died in the young master's room!"
Li Luo was about to talk about the phoenix box, and diverted from the topic of who is the most beautiful, but before he could start talking, he heard a voice of exclamation.
"What happened?" Li Luo stood up and walked outside.
All the servants were also very suspicious, not knowing what happened, but soon, more than half of the people in such a big Li family were startled, and Li Wuzheng ran over as if he had slipped away.
"Brother Luo! It's not good! It's not good!" Li Wuzheng ran to grab Li Luo and said, "Little uncle has something to do, go and help me!"
Li Wuzheng admired Li Luo the most, and thought he was extremely smart, so now he ran to ask for help, took Li Luo's hand and ran away, leading Li Luo to Li Wan's yard in a hurry.
The crowd followed all the way, and soon entered Li Wan's courtyard. At this moment, the courtyard had three floors inside and three floors outside, and many people had gathered.
The Li family is indeed a big family, Li Luo didn't expect that there were so many people who came to see the excitement, both men and women, they almost couldn't get in.
As soon as Li Luo and the others came over, they heard whispering voices.
"How could the young master kill someone? I don't believe it."
"Yes, why did the young master kill Mrs. Qi? Mrs. Qi is just a concubine who has just started!"
"I heard that Mrs. Qi is restless when she comes in, and she always seduces the young master."
"It's so strange, how could Mrs. Qi die in the young master's bedroom? Could it be that last night..."
Li Luo was a little confused, he didn't know the relationship between the Li family, and naturally he didn't know who Madam Qi was talking about.But it doesn't matter, although Li Wuzheng is young, he knows everything about the Li family.
While pushing through the crowd, Li Luo asked Li Wuzheng, "Who are they talking about Madam Qi?"
Li Wuzheng said: "It's my father's concubine! Although she looks pretty, I don't like her, and she always speaks in a strange way."
It turned out that Mrs. Qi was the concubine of Li Wuzheng's father. Even though Li Wuzheng's father was older, he was actually quite old and strong. A concubine who has not been in the mansion for a long time has recently been favored by Master Li.
Right now Li Wuzheng's father is not in the mansion, he temporarily left the capital last night to run an errand, and it will take three to five days before he returns.
When Li Luo heard it, Mrs. Qi was Li Wuzheng's father's concubine, the wife of Li Wan's elder brother, but why did she die in Li Wan's room?It sounds a little strange.
They finally squeezed through the crowd and entered Li Wan's room. After bypassing the screen and entering the inner room from the outer room, they could see Madam Qi's body at a glance.
Mrs. Qi collapsed beside the bed, wearing a purple gauze, it seemed that it was too cold in winter, and she was a little out of order.
She should have been strangled to death, with a circle of strangulation marks around her neck, and she also looked like she was suffocated to death.
Li Luo walked over, lowered his head and took a rough look at the corpse. It should be that someone strangled Madam Qi's neck with something like a rope from behind, and then strangled her to death.
Madam Qi died in Li Wan's room wearing a tulle dress, which already sounds very ambiguous, but now that Madam Qi is still lying beside the bed, anyone who hears it feels that there is something wrong, and can't help but suspect that Li Wan and There is something improper between Mrs. Qi.
Before Madam Qi died, she should have dressed up and put on exquisite makeup, but now her lip makeup is smeared, it looks like she has kissed someone intimately.
It happened that a white shirt fell beside the bed, and there were red lip marks on it, which looked very ambiguous.That white shirt is not someone else's, it is undoubtedly Li Wan's.
Looking at all these situations, it looks like Mrs. Qi and Li Wan are having an affair.
All the onlookers were whispering, but Li Wan stood calmly in front of the corpse, with a calm expression.
It's just that when Li Wan saw Huang Jiu and the others walk in, his eyes still trembled a little guilty.
Last night, Li Wan was confused about what happened to Huang Jiu. He was blaming himself, but now that Huang Jiu saw such a scene, Li Wan couldn't stop thinking, Miss Huang might misunderstand herself and think that I am a dude.
There was a little maid next to her, talking incoherently: "I, I don't know what's going on... I just came to deliver the scroll to the young master, and I saw it as soon as I came in..."
That little maid was the first to find the body, and her confession was obviously too bad for Li Wan.
Li Luo took a preliminary look, Madam Qi should have died not long ago, around the time of dawn last night.There was no trace of the body being moved, so this should be the scene of the first crime.And Li Wan was not in his room at all last night, but slept in Huang Jiu's room all night, it is impossible to come back and kill someone, the murderer is definitely not Li Wan.
But no one else knew, and they only thought that Li Wan had rested in his room for a night, so the murderer who killed Mrs. Qi was probably Li Wan.
Early in the morning, Li Wan came back in a hurry. He entered the room through the main entrance. The main entrance was not locked. Li Wan pushed the door and came in, which was very natural.
But because of a guilty conscience, Li Wan dropped the latch after entering the door, so it was like a secret room.
Before the little maid found the body, the doors and windows of the house were closed, no one came in or out, only Li Wan and the deceased Mrs. Qi, no matter how they heard it, they felt that Li Wan was the murderer.
Of course Li Wan was not the murderer, he had an alibi, but...
Li Wan glanced at Huang Jiu, and quickly looked away calmly. If Huang Jiu was to stand up and testify for himself, then others would know what happened last night, and Huang Jiu's reputation would be damaged.
Li Wan planned to be responsible to Huang Jiu. He had made up his mind that he wanted to marry Miss Huang, but even if he wanted to marry Miss Huang, he couldn't ruin his reputation and let others judge him.
So Li Wan made up his mind and didn't bring up the fact that he was witnessed last night, but just said: "I didn't kill her, I don't know what happened."
"Yes, how could the young master kill someone!"
"I also think it's impossible for the young master to kill someone."
Several servants and maidservants nearby started talking. It seemed that although Li Wan seemed a little indifferent, he was surprisingly popular.
Li Wan is a standard cold outsider and hot inside. Although he looks a bit mean, he is not mean to his servants. No one in the Li family hates him, so they will naturally speak up for him.
Even the little girl who was the first to discover Madam Qi said: "Yes, the young master and Madam Qi have no grievances, so how could they kill Madam Qi? I am afraid that someone deliberately slandered the young master, that's why this happened. "
"That's right, that's right!"
A servant suddenly said: "Yesterday I saw Mrs. Qi scolding a little boy. The scolding was terrible. Did that child hold a grudge and killed Mrs. Qi? I heard that the child's father was a murderer. Maybe that kid..."
When Li Luo heard his boy's narration, he couldn't stop his heart from thumping. The little boy he described was very similar to Cao Zhishui.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Before the boy could say anything, someone had already jumped out, with his hips on his hips, shouting: "Why do you frame people! Nonsense! You want to frame even a child!"
The one who jumped was Li Wuzheng, the little demon king of the world, and he was the beloved son of Master Li. None of the servants were afraid of Li Wuzheng. When they saw Li Wuzheng stand up, they hurriedly said: "The villain didn't say anything, just... ...I just saw him conflict with Mrs. Qi."
Cao Zhishui was also here, standing beside Li Wuzheng, quietly, like a cloud of air.
Yesterday Li Wuzheng had begged his father to let Cao Zhishui be his companion, saying that he would study hard in the future.Master Li was very happy, and agreed immediately, so Cao Zhishui is now Li Wuzheng's little follower, and he will always follow Li Wuzheng.
When Cao Zhishui heard others say that he was the son of a murderer, his expression was calm and nothing special, as if he had long been used to such slander.
Li Wuzheng had a violent temper, so he quit immediately, saying: "Cao Zhishui was with me all the time yesterday, how could he kill someone? I can assure him that Mrs. Qi's death has nothing to do with Cao Zhishui."
Li Luo stood up and said: "That's true, Mrs. Qi was strangled to death. Although that person may not be tall, at least he couldn't be a child."
It is not easy to kill a person, and it is still strangling a person.A child can't subdue Madam Qi for a long time, and he can't strangle Madam Qi smoothly.
Cao Zhishui is not very old now, and he is not tall, so it is absolutely impossible to do it.
The boy who spoke just now also said that casually, and said, "I just... Even if I saw Mrs. Qi scolding this little boy, it didn't mean anything else."
Li Wuzheng stood in front of Cao Zhishui, looking like a hen protecting its chicks, and said to Cao Zhishui angrily: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you! They don't want to frame you! From now on, you will be popular with me." Spicy, I will never ask others to bully you, nor will I ask others to slander you!"
Cao Zhishui didn't speak, but looked at Li Wuzheng with an indifferent expression, but his gaze was fluctuating.
A child is nothing more than a child, no matter how much he has experienced, he cannot become a heart of stone. He is still easily sad, easily sad, and easily moved.
Cao Zhishui looked at Li Wuzheng who was filled with righteous indignation, but he still didn't speak, but nodded silently.
Li Wuzheng was so angry that he didn't pay attention to Cao Zhishui's reaction.
Mrs. Qi died suddenly, and the Li family was in a mess early in the morning. Because Mr. Li happened to be away, the Li family naturally needed a new backbone to speak.
Apart from Mr. Li, Li Wan's words are the most important in the Li family. Unfortunately, Li Wan is the suspect in killing Mrs. Qi, so he can't take care of it.
Li Wuzheng stood up immediately, patted his chest and said, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly!"
"Young master, don't make trouble." A woman giggled, and said, "I heard that the housekeeper bought two new puppies, why don't young master go and look at the puppies to relieve boredom."
The woman teased Li Wuzheng, apparently not taking him seriously.
The woman was not very old, and she looked at Madam Qi's body with disdain. Although Li Luo didn't know her name, she could roughly guess that this woman should also be Master Li's concubine, and she didn't have much relationship with Madam Qi on weekdays. Well, guessing, I still think that I can give birth to a son for Master Li as soon as possible, and take the place of young master Li Wuzheng.
After hearing what the woman said, Li Wuzheng stomped his feet angrily, and said, "I said I can find out, and I can find out! My father is not at home, and this family is what I say!"
"Young Master," another man stood up and said, "Young Master, you have issued a military order. What if you can't find out? Master is back, and we can't explain it."
"Don't worry, before my father comes back, I will definitely find out the truth! Otherwise, you have the final say!" Li Wuzheng patted his chest and said with pride.
Li Luo got a headache when he heard it, this Li Wuzheng is really stupid, that man obviously set him up again.Master Li went out temporarily and came back in three to five days, that is to say, Li Wuzheng needs to investigate the case clearly within three to five days, otherwise...
Otherwise, others have the final say!
The man was happy, and seemed to be waiting for Li Wuzheng's words, and said, "Young master, you can't go back on your word."
"Of course! Just wait!" Li Wuzheng was full of confidence.
Satisfied, the man simply took his people away, and soon the whole room was almost dispersed.
Cao Zhishui stood beside Li Wuzheng, although he was young, he also saw that this was a trap, and said, "This is not appropriate."
Li Wuzheng said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with it. My father will come back in three to five days. There is still such a long time. I believe Brother Luo will be able to find out the truth of the case!"
"what?"
Li Luo, who was observing the corpse, turned his head to look at Li Wuzheng in surprise, and said, "You promised me to investigate the case?"
Xie Changying also had a headache and rubbed her forehead. Sure enough, Li Wuzheng was very unreliable no matter when he was a child or when he grew up.
Li Wuzheng ran up to Li Luo and said, "Brother Luo, you are the smartest person in the world! You must help me! I can only count on you."
Li Luo raised his eyebrows, and Li Wuzheng put a high hat on himself when he came up, it was almost...
But Li Wuzheng's gaze was so sincere that Li Luo was a little complacent.
Ever since what happened last time, Li Wuzheng felt that Li Luo was good-looking and smart, and he almost enshrined him like a god, saying: "Brother Luo should not need a day to investigate such a small matter."
Li Luo coughed, and said with a serious face: "It's... almost, after all, I'm smart."
Xie Changying: "..."
Even Zhao Shuangxi, who has always been the best adoptive father, was a little helpless.
Li Wuzheng said: "So, Brother Luo will definitely be able to find the murderer! Three to five days should be enough. Besides, if Brother Luo really can't find the murderer, then I will be punished." ! It won’t hurt Brother Luo either!”
Li Wuzheng was so generous that even Li Luo was too embarrassed not to help.
Li Wuzheng looked at Cao Zhishui beside him again, and said, "Besides, they slandered Cao Zhishui. I want them to know that Cao Zhishui is innocent. I hate wronging people!"
Cao Zhishui was already very moved just now, and now hearing Li Wuzheng's words, his eyes fluctuated even more. Cao Zhishui, who was like a little mute, finally spoke, and said in a very low voice, "Thank you..."
Li Luo took a look, although Li Wuzheng was a little unreliable, but he was very good at flirting at a young age.He thought that Li Wuzheng and Cao Zhishui would wear scars for a long time, but he didn't expect to win Cao Zhishui's favor so quickly.
While they were talking, Li Wan sent someone to find Wu Zuo for an autopsy.
Wu Zuo briefly inspected Madam Qi's body first, and concluded that it was similar to Li Luo's, that she was strangled to death, and the time of death was also in the early morning.
Li Luo took a look at the blouse with lip marks on it, thoughtfully, and said: "I guess the murderer used this cloak to gag Madam Qi's mouth at that time."
The lip marks on the clothes are not as charming as everyone imagined, and Madam Qi's lips are not ambiguous at all. When the murderer strangled Madam Qi to death, in order to prevent Madam Qi from yelling and attracting others, he used a A piece of clothing covered her nose and mouth.
Xie Changying pondered for a while, and said, "It seems that the murderer should be a tall man."
To be able to strangle Madam Qi to death with one hand, and to block Madam Qi's mouth and nose with the other to prevent her from calling for help, logically speaking, a tall man should be able to do it.
Li Luo smiled and said: "Yingying, you are in a fixed way of thinking. If two people commit the crime together and the murderer is more than one, it doesn't matter how tall you are. One person covers Madam Qi's mouth, and the other uses a rope Madam Qi, it can still be done."
Xie Changying was taken aback when he heard that, and said, "Indeed, you mean that there may be more than one murderer?"
Li Wan also looked at Li Luo. He is the Minister of Dali Temple. He has seen countless cases and smart people. It must be said that Li Luo is indeed the smartest among smart people.
Li Luo laughed again, and said: "I didn't say that either, I just gave an example, who is the murderer and how many people are there, I'm not sure yet. But..."
Li Luo paused and said: "This case is very interesting, so I plan to help a group of Li Wuzheng."
Li Wuzheng took three to five days to solve the case, which sounds really tricky. Li Luo should have ignored this matter, but Li Luo also wanted to stay in Li's house, so he simply took over the case and could use the investigation The case was used as an excuse to continue to live in Li's house.
Li Wuzheng was very happy, and said: "Brother Luo, if you go out, you will definitely find out the truth!"
"grown ups!"
Wu Zuo suddenly called Li Wan from the side.
After Wu did the preliminary autopsy, he planned to take the body away before further detailed autopsy.When everyone was carrying the corpse, they heard a light "click", and something fell out of the corpse.
Wu Zuo took a closer look and found that it was a jade pendant. He immediately handed it to Li Wan and said, "My lord, there is a jade pendant in the arms of the corpse..."
Li Wan picked it up and took a look, then immediately glanced at Li Luo who was standing opposite.
Li Luo's hair was straightened by Li Wan's eyes, and he said, "What's the situation?"
Li Wan didn't say anything, and handed the jade pendant to Li Luo.
When Li Luo took it over and looked at it, he felt a headache immediately, and asked, "Is it engraved with my name?"
Mrs. Qi had a white jade pendant in her bosom, which looked quite valuable. The front and back of the jade pendant were exquisitely carved, with a character engraved on each, two in total, which happened to be the characters "Li" and "Luo".
Xie Changying and Zhao Shuangxi looked up and were also shocked.
Holding the jade pendant, Li Luo muttered, "It's not uncommon to see engravings on the jade pendant."
Li Luo had watched TV dramas before, and had also seen engravings on jade pendants and sachets, such as fan bones and handkerchiefs, they could also engrave words.But isn't the engraving supposed to only engrave one word?Why is there engraving on the front and back of this jade pendant, the word Li Luo is clearly written, it seems very intentional!affectation!
Li Wan squinted at Li Luo and said, "What's going on?"
Li Luo was very calm, and said: "How do I know what's going on? Don't you also know why Mrs. Qi died in your room?"
In a word, Li Wan was left speechless by Li Luo.
Mrs. Qi's sudden and inexplicable death not only involved Li Wan, but also involved Cao Zhishui and Li Luo one after another. The involvement was so wide that the matter seemed to be getting more and more complicated.
Li Luo had never seen this jade pendant before, but Li Luo only came here halfway through the journey. He didn't know if "he" had such a jade pendant before.
The body was taken away by the clerks, everyone came out of Li Wan's room, Li Luo was responsible for finding out this matter, so he planned to ask the servants in the mansion about Madam Qi's matter.
They just came out when Li Wan suddenly said, "Miss Huang, I have something to discuss with you."
Huang Jiu planned to follow Li Luo to investigate the case. He said it was to investigate the case, but in fact he followed Li Luo around the mansion, so that he could easily find the clues he wanted to know.
Huang Jiu was suddenly stopped by Li Wan, and his whole body was a little stiff. He really wanted to ignore it.
Li Wan strode over, he had already made up his mind, and said: "Miss Huang, today I will send someone to your house to propose a marriage, but I don't know where Miss Huang's family lives yet."
Huang Jiu's whole body became more stiff, his face was extremely ugly, and he said, "I..."
"Oh, you don't know," Li Luo immediately interjected, "Our little Jiu, it's so pitiful. I'm already alone in the landslide in my hometown, that's why I came to join my childhood sweetheart in the capital."
Li Wan didn't know Huang Jiu's life experience very well, so he believed Li Luo's words.
Huang Jiu had originally lied to Li Luo. He was not Li Luo's childhood sweetheart, and his identity was false. If Li Wan really asked someone to propose marriage, then it would be...
Li Luo smiled and said: "Xiao Jiu and I grew up together, so right now, I am Xiao Jiu's relative. Mr. Li, you said just now that you want to propose marriage? That's very easy. You don't have to run away, just find I will do it!"
Huang Jiu heard his forehead twitch, and whispered, "Mr. Li, this matter cannot be done!"
Of course not, he's a man.Although he is good-looking and there is no pressure to pretend to be a woman, he is a man after all, and he is tall and possesses martial arts skills. How can he marry Li Wan? He will definitely be exposed soon.
"Of course!" Li Luo had something to say, "Master Li, you've only known us Xiaojiu for a day, why did you propose marriage? Could it be too hasty?"
Li Luo pretended to be confused and asked Li Wan deliberately.
Li Wan didn't want to say anything, so she kept silent.
Li Luo laughed, and continued: "Oh, I see, it must be that our Xiao Jiu is too beautiful. In the past, there were many people who fell in love with our Xiao Jiu at first sight, but there were so many that we couldn't count them. Master Li is not exempt."
Li Wan didn't know how to answer, thinking that she must never tell what happened last night, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod, as if it was love at first sight.
Li Luo almost burst out laughing, and said, "Unexpectedly, Mr. Li is still a face-controller, so we are like-minded, and we can communicate more in the future."
"cough!"
Xie Changying couldn't stand listening anymore, so he still communicated?
Li Luo had almost finished playing, coughed lightly, and said with a serious face: "This marriage is not a small matter. Although Mrs. Li looks good in everything, this matter should not be hasty. We have to investigate and investigate seriously. Only adults can do it."
"Investigation?" Li Wan frowned.
Li Luo nodded, and said: "Yes, I just observe how Master Li behaves for a few days. Master Li looks upright, who knows if he is a hungry wolf in sheep's clothing."
Li Wan was a little guilty by what he said, so she immediately said, "Mr. Li, do as you please."
Li Luo had enough of teasing Li Wan, and was satisfied, he said, "Then the matter of investigating Mr. Li will be postponed, we still need to investigate the case."
Li Luo had a great time, and left Li Wan's room with a smile, planning to find some servants to inquire about Madam Qi.
Madam Qi died suddenly, and the maids who served Madam Qi were very nervous, for fear of being mistaken for the murderer, when Li Luo and the others passed by, the little maids were like frightened birds, not daring to breathe.
Li Luo said: "Don't be afraid, we are here to ask, what did your wife do last night?"
Madam Qi's personal servant girl said: "Madam fell asleep, but...but she got up suddenly after a while, saying that she wanted to go out."
Madam Qi had already taken a rest, but when she heard that the master was going to go out temporarily and would not come back in three to five days, Madam Qi suddenly said that she would not rest, and then began to dress up.
When Li Luo heard this, Mrs. Qi's behavior sounded like she was going to have an affair!
Madam Qi dressed up and left in thin clothes, not letting the maids follow, and the maids didn't know where she went.
As the little maid narrated, she was a little uneasy, and Li Luo could tell at a glance that she hadn't said the whole thing.
Li Luo said warmly: "Is there anything unusual? If the murderer of Mrs. Qi is not found after a long time, I'm afraid you won't feel at ease."
The little servant girl trembled, and said: "It's like this... This servant saw that Madam received a letter yesterday..."
It is better to say it is a small note than a letter.The little maid served Madam Qi personally, helping Madam Qi when she was putting on makeup, and accidentally saw Madam Qi holding a small note.
The servant girl said: "It says to let Mrs.
Huang Jiu simply lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then said: "Master Li, let's go first, if the servants in the house see this situation, I'm afraid it will damage your reputation."
Huang Jiu seemed really reasonable, and Li Wan felt guilty.
Li Wan's heart wavered from side to side, thinking that Miss Huang was so considerate, if she really walked away like this, she wouldn't be a man at all.
But if I don't leave now, those people will not only ruin my reputation, but also implicate Miss Huang and be criticized behind my back.
Li Wan thought about it, and decided to leave first before talking about other things, so as not to cause more right and wrong.As for Miss Huang...
Li Wan suddenly held Huang Jiu's hand. Huang Jiu had a ghost in his heart. He was startled, and he subconsciously shook off Li Wan's hand.
Seeing that he reacted so strongly, Li Wan thought it was because she was frightened by her "beast behavior" last night, and immediately said in a very gentle voice, "Miss Huang, don't be afraid, I will definitely take responsibility for you Yes, I swear! Or the sky will be struck by lightning!"
Huang Jiu's face was full of confusion, he just wanted to say that it's okay to be struck by lightning, it's not necessary.But he couldn't say this, and he might reveal his secrets once he uttered it.
Li Luo knocked loudly on the door outside, and there was no more time for Li Wan to dawdle.Li Wan hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll go first, I will take responsibility for this matter, don't worry about it."
After he finished speaking, he moved nimbly, pushed open the window, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
As soon as Li Wan left, Huang Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't stop thinking about what kind of bad idea Mr. Li came up with, it was a mess.
Li Luo patted on the door outside for a long time, Huang Jiu tidied himself up, closed the window, and then walked over to open the door.
Huang Jiu looked very calm, just like before, lowered his head and coughed and said, "Brother Luo is you. I just got up and tidied up, so I wasted time."
"It's nothing." Li Luo waved his hands indifferently, and said to him with a smile, "I brought a lot of breakfast here, let's have dinner together!"
Huang Jiu nodded, since there were no outsiders in the room anyway, he simply took two steps back and let Li Luo walk in.
Li Luo walked in with the two little ones Xie Changying and Zhao Shuangxi, and the servant behind him also came in with breakfast.
Sure enough, there was no one else in the room, Li Luo turned his eyes, and immediately checked the situation in the room thoroughly, he didn't see the embarrassed Li Wan, but he didn't see any disappointment, he asked the servant to arrange it earlier, and let the servant leave.
Once the servant left, there were no outsiders in the house, and Huang Jiu didn't need to pretend to be a girl anymore.
Huang Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, and soon met Li Luo's playful gaze.He tried his best to look calm and composed, and said, "Mr. Li looks disappointed?"
Li Luo shook his head, still smiling, and said, "I'm smiling so happily, how can I be disappointed? I'm very happy."
Xie Changying also found out that Li Wan was missing, which was somewhat different from Li Luo's plan, but it was still in Li Luo's plan.
Li Luo said: "My purpose is to let Ah Huang stay in Li's house, so that the investigation will be convenient. Our purpose is not to make Li Wan look ugly, I am not putting the cart before the horse, I know it very well."
So Li Luo brought someone to catch the rape early in the morning, but in fact, he didn't really want to catch Li Wan in person, he just came to "force" Li Wan to submit.
Li Luo giggled, rubbing his hands with excitement on his face, and said, "I've imagined your situation in the house, you must have taken Li Wan's face into consideration, so let him go. As for Li Wan, he looks cold , but he is an honest gentleman in his heart, he must be moved when he heard what you said. So..."
Speaking of this, Li Luo laughed wretchedly again: "Li Wan must be very grateful. He is devoted to you and will definitely come back and take responsibility! Then you can stay in Li's house smoothly."
Huang Jiu suddenly had a headache, because Li Luo had guessed everything right, and it turned out that this was also part of Li Luo's plan.
Li Luo didn't really want to make a fool of Li Wan, but just wanted to complete the plan.
Li Luo looked at me with a very understanding look on his face, and said: "Besides, Mr. Li is so good-looking, how can I have the heart to make him make a fool of himself in public?"
Huang Jiu: "..."
"Cough!" Xie Changying coughed with a dark face.
Li Luo immediately said to Xie Changying: "Yingying, you don't need to be jealous, this is good-looking and very classy, you are the most beautiful, no one can match, they are just ordinary good-looking, so you have a special place in my heart." It is unshakable!"
Xie Changying: "..."
Xie Changying was praised, but she couldn't laugh at all, and said, "Then if you meet someone who looks better than me, will my position be shaken?"
"This..." Li Luo shook his head again and again, and said, "Of course not. There is a saying that Xi Shi is in the eye of the beholder. In my eyes, you are naturally Xi Shi, the prettiest."
Xie Changying frowned, and he found a new problem, and said, "Who is Xi Shi? She is the prettiest?"
"This..." Li Luo felt that his description was getting darker and darker, and he was afraid that he would lose his head if he continued to explain, so he changed the subject stiffly and said, "Why don't we talk about the Phoenix Box!"
On the other side, Li Wan successfully left and hurried back to his room.
He was still in a state of turmoil in his heart, and he couldn't remember what he did last night, why he gave Miss Huang to...
However, Li Wan didn't doubt Huang Jiu in his heart. Firstly, Huang Jiu's reaction seemed very forbearing, and he helped Li Wan speak, so that Li Wan could not doubt him.
These three...
In fact, Li Wan has amnesia. For a period of time, Li Wan’s memory is not very clear. Occasionally, Li Wan’s memory will be confused. It’s normal to have a headache and dizziness, so Li Wan suddenly can’t remember what happened last night. It's an old problem.
Li Wan is the Minister of Dali Temple, and he often handles some weird cases.Once before, when Li Wan left the capital to investigate a case, he unexpectedly encountered a heavy rain on the way. He rolled down the mountain and hit his head. It can be said that his head was bleeding. Fortunately, he was rescued by a passer-by. Otherwise, let alone amnesia , even a life is gone.
After that, Li Wan rested at home for several days before recovering.But after waking up, Li Wan couldn't remember why he left the capital, nor how he rolled down the mountain, his mind went blank, and he occasionally felt dizzy.
Li Wan entered the room, quickly closed the door, and then heaved a sigh of relief, only to feel that his behavior was really getting weirder and weirder.
Thinking of Ms. Huang, Li Wan regretted it for a while, but Li Wan was an upright gentleman, and thought in her heart that no matter what, she still had to give Ms. Huang an explanation.
"Knock knock!"
"Master."
Li Wan entered the door in a hurry, and before she could go into the inner room, a maid knocked on the door.
Li Wan was startled by the maid's voice, and said through the door, "What's the matter?"
The servant girl stood outside and said: "Master, I have found all the scrolls you asked to find earlier, and I brought them here for you."
Li Wan breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't a big deal, it was just a scroll.
Li Wan took office in Dali Temple, and was busy every day, and the books he needed were also very complicated.The day before yesterday, in order to investigate a case, he asked his servants to find some related books.The servants did not dare to neglect, they hurriedly found the scrolls, and brought them to Li Wan early in the morning.
Li Wan was afraid that if she didn't open the door, the maid would notice something strange about her, so she tidied up her skirts to make sure there were no flaws, then opened the door and said, "Bring it in, and put it on the desk."
"Yes, sir."
The maid came in with the book in her hand, and she really didn't see anything wrong with Li Wan, so she went into the inner room with the scroll and went to Li Wan's desk.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Here, Li Wan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the servant girl's terrified scream.
Then there was the sound of clattering, the scroll must have fallen to the ground, and the maid was so panicked that she even bumped into the shelf next to her.
The room was buzzing for a while, and Li Wan quickly followed up to check the situation.
In the inner room, the servant girl fell to the ground, her eyes widened in shock, she pointed forward like chaff, and said, "Dead...dead!"
Li Wan followed in, cracks appeared on his originally calm face, and he couldn't help gasping, it was really a dead person, and a dead person appeared in Li Wan's room.
Li Wan didn't rest in his room yesterday, and he just rushed back, so he didn't have time to enter the inner room, so naturally he had no way of knowing in advance that there was a dead person here.
"Yes... it's Madam Qi! Madam Qi is dead... dead!"
The servant girl yelled intermittently, and it took a long time before she found the strength to get up, rushed out of the room in panic, and ran away.
Li Wan panicked for a moment, and quickly calmed down. After all, he had been the Minister of Dali Temple for a long time, and the dead people he saw most were dead people.
Li Wan approached the corpse, bent down and knelt down to observe by herself.
"Dead!"
"Madam Qi is dead!"
"Madam Qi died in the young master's room!"
Li Luo was about to talk about the phoenix box, and diverted from the topic of who is the most beautiful, but before he could start talking, he heard a voice of exclamation.
"What happened?" Li Luo stood up and walked outside.
All the servants were also very suspicious, not knowing what happened, but soon, more than half of the people in such a big Li family were startled, and Li Wuzheng ran over as if he had slipped away.
"Brother Luo! It's not good! It's not good!" Li Wuzheng ran to grab Li Luo and said, "Little uncle has something to do, go and help me!"
Li Wuzheng admired Li Luo the most, and thought he was extremely smart, so now he ran to ask for help, took Li Luo's hand and ran away, leading Li Luo to Li Wan's yard in a hurry.
The crowd followed all the way, and soon entered Li Wan's courtyard. At this moment, the courtyard had three floors inside and three floors outside, and many people had gathered.
The Li family is indeed a big family, Li Luo didn't expect that there were so many people who came to see the excitement, both men and women, they almost couldn't get in.
As soon as Li Luo and the others came over, they heard whispering voices.
"How could the young master kill someone? I don't believe it."
"Yes, why did the young master kill Mrs. Qi? Mrs. Qi is just a concubine who has just started!"
"I heard that Mrs. Qi is restless when she comes in, and she always seduces the young master."
"It's so strange, how could Mrs. Qi die in the young master's bedroom? Could it be that last night..."
Li Luo was a little confused, he didn't know the relationship between the Li family, and naturally he didn't know who Madam Qi was talking about.But it doesn't matter, although Li Wuzheng is young, he knows everything about the Li family.
While pushing through the crowd, Li Luo asked Li Wuzheng, "Who are they talking about Madam Qi?"
Li Wuzheng said: "It's my father's concubine! Although she looks pretty, I don't like her, and she always speaks in a strange way."
It turned out that Mrs. Qi was the concubine of Li Wuzheng's father. Even though Li Wuzheng's father was older, he was actually quite old and strong. A concubine who has not been in the mansion for a long time has recently been favored by Master Li.
Right now Li Wuzheng's father is not in the mansion, he temporarily left the capital last night to run an errand, and it will take three to five days before he returns.
When Li Luo heard it, Mrs. Qi was Li Wuzheng's father's concubine, the wife of Li Wan's elder brother, but why did she die in Li Wan's room?It sounds a little strange.
They finally squeezed through the crowd and entered Li Wan's room. After bypassing the screen and entering the inner room from the outer room, they could see Madam Qi's body at a glance.
Mrs. Qi collapsed beside the bed, wearing a purple gauze, it seemed that it was too cold in winter, and she was a little out of order.
She should have been strangled to death, with a circle of strangulation marks around her neck, and she also looked like she was suffocated to death.
Li Luo walked over, lowered his head and took a rough look at the corpse. It should be that someone strangled Madam Qi's neck with something like a rope from behind, and then strangled her to death.
Madam Qi died in Li Wan's room wearing a tulle dress, which already sounds very ambiguous, but now that Madam Qi is still lying beside the bed, anyone who hears it feels that there is something wrong, and can't help but suspect that Li Wan and There is something improper between Mrs. Qi.
Before Madam Qi died, she should have dressed up and put on exquisite makeup, but now her lip makeup is smeared, it looks like she has kissed someone intimately.
It happened that a white shirt fell beside the bed, and there were red lip marks on it, which looked very ambiguous.That white shirt is not someone else's, it is undoubtedly Li Wan's.
Looking at all these situations, it looks like Mrs. Qi and Li Wan are having an affair.
All the onlookers were whispering, but Li Wan stood calmly in front of the corpse, with a calm expression.
It's just that when Li Wan saw Huang Jiu and the others walk in, his eyes still trembled a little guilty.
Last night, Li Wan was confused about what happened to Huang Jiu. He was blaming himself, but now that Huang Jiu saw such a scene, Li Wan couldn't stop thinking, Miss Huang might misunderstand herself and think that I am a dude.
There was a little maid next to her, talking incoherently: "I, I don't know what's going on... I just came to deliver the scroll to the young master, and I saw it as soon as I came in..."
That little maid was the first to find the body, and her confession was obviously too bad for Li Wan.
Li Luo took a preliminary look, Madam Qi should have died not long ago, around the time of dawn last night.There was no trace of the body being moved, so this should be the scene of the first crime.And Li Wan was not in his room at all last night, but slept in Huang Jiu's room all night, it is impossible to come back and kill someone, the murderer is definitely not Li Wan.
But no one else knew, and they only thought that Li Wan had rested in his room for a night, so the murderer who killed Mrs. Qi was probably Li Wan.
Early in the morning, Li Wan came back in a hurry. He entered the room through the main entrance. The main entrance was not locked. Li Wan pushed the door and came in, which was very natural.
But because of a guilty conscience, Li Wan dropped the latch after entering the door, so it was like a secret room.
Before the little maid found the body, the doors and windows of the house were closed, no one came in or out, only Li Wan and the deceased Mrs. Qi, no matter how they heard it, they felt that Li Wan was the murderer.
Of course Li Wan was not the murderer, he had an alibi, but...
Li Wan glanced at Huang Jiu, and quickly looked away calmly. If Huang Jiu was to stand up and testify for himself, then others would know what happened last night, and Huang Jiu's reputation would be damaged.
Li Wan planned to be responsible to Huang Jiu. He had made up his mind that he wanted to marry Miss Huang, but even if he wanted to marry Miss Huang, he couldn't ruin his reputation and let others judge him.
So Li Wan made up his mind and didn't bring up the fact that he was witnessed last night, but just said: "I didn't kill her, I don't know what happened."
"Yes, how could the young master kill someone!"
"I also think it's impossible for the young master to kill someone."
Several servants and maidservants nearby started talking. It seemed that although Li Wan seemed a little indifferent, he was surprisingly popular.
Li Wan is a standard cold outsider and hot inside. Although he looks a bit mean, he is not mean to his servants. No one in the Li family hates him, so they will naturally speak up for him.
Even the little girl who was the first to discover Madam Qi said: "Yes, the young master and Madam Qi have no grievances, so how could they kill Madam Qi? I am afraid that someone deliberately slandered the young master, that's why this happened. "
"That's right, that's right!"
A servant suddenly said: "Yesterday I saw Mrs. Qi scolding a little boy. The scolding was terrible. Did that child hold a grudge and killed Mrs. Qi? I heard that the child's father was a murderer. Maybe that kid..."
When Li Luo heard his boy's narration, he couldn't stop his heart from thumping. The little boy he described was very similar to Cao Zhishui.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Before the boy could say anything, someone had already jumped out, with his hips on his hips, shouting: "Why do you frame people! Nonsense! You want to frame even a child!"
The one who jumped was Li Wuzheng, the little demon king of the world, and he was the beloved son of Master Li. None of the servants were afraid of Li Wuzheng. When they saw Li Wuzheng stand up, they hurriedly said: "The villain didn't say anything, just... ...I just saw him conflict with Mrs. Qi."
Cao Zhishui was also here, standing beside Li Wuzheng, quietly, like a cloud of air.
Yesterday Li Wuzheng had begged his father to let Cao Zhishui be his companion, saying that he would study hard in the future.Master Li was very happy, and agreed immediately, so Cao Zhishui is now Li Wuzheng's little follower, and he will always follow Li Wuzheng.
When Cao Zhishui heard others say that he was the son of a murderer, his expression was calm and nothing special, as if he had long been used to such slander.
Li Wuzheng had a violent temper, so he quit immediately, saying: "Cao Zhishui was with me all the time yesterday, how could he kill someone? I can assure him that Mrs. Qi's death has nothing to do with Cao Zhishui."
Li Luo stood up and said: "That's true, Mrs. Qi was strangled to death. Although that person may not be tall, at least he couldn't be a child."
It is not easy to kill a person, and it is still strangling a person.A child can't subdue Madam Qi for a long time, and he can't strangle Madam Qi smoothly.
Cao Zhishui is not very old now, and he is not tall, so it is absolutely impossible to do it.
The boy who spoke just now also said that casually, and said, "I just... Even if I saw Mrs. Qi scolding this little boy, it didn't mean anything else."
Li Wuzheng stood in front of Cao Zhishui, looking like a hen protecting its chicks, and said to Cao Zhishui angrily: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you! They don't want to frame you! From now on, you will be popular with me." Spicy, I will never ask others to bully you, nor will I ask others to slander you!"
Cao Zhishui didn't speak, but looked at Li Wuzheng with an indifferent expression, but his gaze was fluctuating.
A child is nothing more than a child, no matter how much he has experienced, he cannot become a heart of stone. He is still easily sad, easily sad, and easily moved.
Cao Zhishui looked at Li Wuzheng who was filled with righteous indignation, but he still didn't speak, but nodded silently.
Li Wuzheng was so angry that he didn't pay attention to Cao Zhishui's reaction.
Mrs. Qi died suddenly, and the Li family was in a mess early in the morning. Because Mr. Li happened to be away, the Li family naturally needed a new backbone to speak.
Apart from Mr. Li, Li Wan's words are the most important in the Li family. Unfortunately, Li Wan is the suspect in killing Mrs. Qi, so he can't take care of it.
Li Wuzheng stood up immediately, patted his chest and said, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly!"
"Young master, don't make trouble." A woman giggled, and said, "I heard that the housekeeper bought two new puppies, why don't young master go and look at the puppies to relieve boredom."
The woman teased Li Wuzheng, apparently not taking him seriously.
The woman was not very old, and she looked at Madam Qi's body with disdain. Although Li Luo didn't know her name, she could roughly guess that this woman should also be Master Li's concubine, and she didn't have much relationship with Madam Qi on weekdays. Well, guessing, I still think that I can give birth to a son for Master Li as soon as possible, and take the place of young master Li Wuzheng.
After hearing what the woman said, Li Wuzheng stomped his feet angrily, and said, "I said I can find out, and I can find out! My father is not at home, and this family is what I say!"
"Young Master," another man stood up and said, "Young Master, you have issued a military order. What if you can't find out? Master is back, and we can't explain it."
"Don't worry, before my father comes back, I will definitely find out the truth! Otherwise, you have the final say!" Li Wuzheng patted his chest and said with pride.
Li Luo got a headache when he heard it, this Li Wuzheng is really stupid, that man obviously set him up again.Master Li went out temporarily and came back in three to five days, that is to say, Li Wuzheng needs to investigate the case clearly within three to five days, otherwise...
Otherwise, others have the final say!
The man was happy, and seemed to be waiting for Li Wuzheng's words, and said, "Young master, you can't go back on your word."
"Of course! Just wait!" Li Wuzheng was full of confidence.
Satisfied, the man simply took his people away, and soon the whole room was almost dispersed.
Cao Zhishui stood beside Li Wuzheng, although he was young, he also saw that this was a trap, and said, "This is not appropriate."
Li Wuzheng said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with it. My father will come back in three to five days. There is still such a long time. I believe Brother Luo will be able to find out the truth of the case!"
"what?"
Li Luo, who was observing the corpse, turned his head to look at Li Wuzheng in surprise, and said, "You promised me to investigate the case?"
Xie Changying also had a headache and rubbed her forehead. Sure enough, Li Wuzheng was very unreliable no matter when he was a child or when he grew up.
Li Wuzheng ran up to Li Luo and said, "Brother Luo, you are the smartest person in the world! You must help me! I can only count on you."
Li Luo raised his eyebrows, and Li Wuzheng put a high hat on himself when he came up, it was almost...
But Li Wuzheng's gaze was so sincere that Li Luo was a little complacent.
Ever since what happened last time, Li Wuzheng felt that Li Luo was good-looking and smart, and he almost enshrined him like a god, saying: "Brother Luo should not need a day to investigate such a small matter."
Li Luo coughed, and said with a serious face: "It's... almost, after all, I'm smart."
Xie Changying: "..."
Even Zhao Shuangxi, who has always been the best adoptive father, was a little helpless.
Li Wuzheng said: "So, Brother Luo will definitely be able to find the murderer! Three to five days should be enough. Besides, if Brother Luo really can't find the murderer, then I will be punished." ! It won’t hurt Brother Luo either!”
Li Wuzheng was so generous that even Li Luo was too embarrassed not to help.
Li Wuzheng looked at Cao Zhishui beside him again, and said, "Besides, they slandered Cao Zhishui. I want them to know that Cao Zhishui is innocent. I hate wronging people!"
Cao Zhishui was already very moved just now, and now hearing Li Wuzheng's words, his eyes fluctuated even more. Cao Zhishui, who was like a little mute, finally spoke, and said in a very low voice, "Thank you..."
Li Luo took a look, although Li Wuzheng was a little unreliable, but he was very good at flirting at a young age.He thought that Li Wuzheng and Cao Zhishui would wear scars for a long time, but he didn't expect to win Cao Zhishui's favor so quickly.
While they were talking, Li Wan sent someone to find Wu Zuo for an autopsy.
Wu Zuo briefly inspected Madam Qi's body first, and concluded that it was similar to Li Luo's, that she was strangled to death, and the time of death was also in the early morning.
Li Luo took a look at the blouse with lip marks on it, thoughtfully, and said: "I guess the murderer used this cloak to gag Madam Qi's mouth at that time."
The lip marks on the clothes are not as charming as everyone imagined, and Madam Qi's lips are not ambiguous at all. When the murderer strangled Madam Qi to death, in order to prevent Madam Qi from yelling and attracting others, he used a A piece of clothing covered her nose and mouth.
Xie Changying pondered for a while, and said, "It seems that the murderer should be a tall man."
To be able to strangle Madam Qi to death with one hand, and to block Madam Qi's mouth and nose with the other to prevent her from calling for help, logically speaking, a tall man should be able to do it.
Li Luo smiled and said: "Yingying, you are in a fixed way of thinking. If two people commit the crime together and the murderer is more than one, it doesn't matter how tall you are. One person covers Madam Qi's mouth, and the other uses a rope Madam Qi, it can still be done."
Xie Changying was taken aback when he heard that, and said, "Indeed, you mean that there may be more than one murderer?"
Li Wan also looked at Li Luo. He is the Minister of Dali Temple. He has seen countless cases and smart people. It must be said that Li Luo is indeed the smartest among smart people.
Li Luo laughed again, and said: "I didn't say that either, I just gave an example, who is the murderer and how many people are there, I'm not sure yet. But..."
Li Luo paused and said: "This case is very interesting, so I plan to help a group of Li Wuzheng."
Li Wuzheng took three to five days to solve the case, which sounds really tricky. Li Luo should have ignored this matter, but Li Luo also wanted to stay in Li's house, so he simply took over the case and could use the investigation The case was used as an excuse to continue to live in Li's house.
Li Wuzheng was very happy, and said: "Brother Luo, if you go out, you will definitely find out the truth!"
"grown ups!"
Wu Zuo suddenly called Li Wan from the side.
After Wu did the preliminary autopsy, he planned to take the body away before further detailed autopsy.When everyone was carrying the corpse, they heard a light "click", and something fell out of the corpse.
Wu Zuo took a closer look and found that it was a jade pendant. He immediately handed it to Li Wan and said, "My lord, there is a jade pendant in the arms of the corpse..."
Li Wan picked it up and took a look, then immediately glanced at Li Luo who was standing opposite.
Li Luo's hair was straightened by Li Wan's eyes, and he said, "What's the situation?"
Li Wan didn't say anything, and handed the jade pendant to Li Luo.
When Li Luo took it over and looked at it, he felt a headache immediately, and asked, "Is it engraved with my name?"
Mrs. Qi had a white jade pendant in her bosom, which looked quite valuable. The front and back of the jade pendant were exquisitely carved, with a character engraved on each, two in total, which happened to be the characters "Li" and "Luo".
Xie Changying and Zhao Shuangxi looked up and were also shocked.
Holding the jade pendant, Li Luo muttered, "It's not uncommon to see engravings on the jade pendant."
Li Luo had watched TV dramas before, and had also seen engravings on jade pendants and sachets, such as fan bones and handkerchiefs, they could also engrave words.But isn't the engraving supposed to only engrave one word?Why is there engraving on the front and back of this jade pendant, the word Li Luo is clearly written, it seems very intentional!affectation!
Li Wan squinted at Li Luo and said, "What's going on?"
Li Luo was very calm, and said: "How do I know what's going on? Don't you also know why Mrs. Qi died in your room?"
In a word, Li Wan was left speechless by Li Luo.
Mrs. Qi's sudden and inexplicable death not only involved Li Wan, but also involved Cao Zhishui and Li Luo one after another. The involvement was so wide that the matter seemed to be getting more and more complicated.
Li Luo had never seen this jade pendant before, but Li Luo only came here halfway through the journey. He didn't know if "he" had such a jade pendant before.
The body was taken away by the clerks, everyone came out of Li Wan's room, Li Luo was responsible for finding out this matter, so he planned to ask the servants in the mansion about Madam Qi's matter.
They just came out when Li Wan suddenly said, "Miss Huang, I have something to discuss with you."
Huang Jiu planned to follow Li Luo to investigate the case. He said it was to investigate the case, but in fact he followed Li Luo around the mansion, so that he could easily find the clues he wanted to know.
Huang Jiu was suddenly stopped by Li Wan, and his whole body was a little stiff. He really wanted to ignore it.
Li Wan strode over, he had already made up his mind, and said: "Miss Huang, today I will send someone to your house to propose a marriage, but I don't know where Miss Huang's family lives yet."
Huang Jiu's whole body became more stiff, his face was extremely ugly, and he said, "I..."
"Oh, you don't know," Li Luo immediately interjected, "Our little Jiu, it's so pitiful. I'm already alone in the landslide in my hometown, that's why I came to join my childhood sweetheart in the capital."
Li Wan didn't know Huang Jiu's life experience very well, so he believed Li Luo's words.
Huang Jiu had originally lied to Li Luo. He was not Li Luo's childhood sweetheart, and his identity was false. If Li Wan really asked someone to propose marriage, then it would be...
Li Luo smiled and said: "Xiao Jiu and I grew up together, so right now, I am Xiao Jiu's relative. Mr. Li, you said just now that you want to propose marriage? That's very easy. You don't have to run away, just find I will do it!"
Huang Jiu heard his forehead twitch, and whispered, "Mr. Li, this matter cannot be done!"
Of course not, he's a man.Although he is good-looking and there is no pressure to pretend to be a woman, he is a man after all, and he is tall and possesses martial arts skills. How can he marry Li Wan? He will definitely be exposed soon.
"Of course!" Li Luo had something to say, "Master Li, you've only known us Xiaojiu for a day, why did you propose marriage? Could it be too hasty?"
Li Luo pretended to be confused and asked Li Wan deliberately.
Li Wan didn't want to say anything, so she kept silent.
Li Luo laughed, and continued: "Oh, I see, it must be that our Xiao Jiu is too beautiful. In the past, there were many people who fell in love with our Xiao Jiu at first sight, but there were so many that we couldn't count them. Master Li is not exempt."
Li Wan didn't know how to answer, thinking that she must never tell what happened last night, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod, as if it was love at first sight.
Li Luo almost burst out laughing, and said, "Unexpectedly, Mr. Li is still a face-controller, so we are like-minded, and we can communicate more in the future."
"cough!"
Xie Changying couldn't stand listening anymore, so he still communicated?
Li Luo had almost finished playing, coughed lightly, and said with a serious face: "This marriage is not a small matter. Although Mrs. Li looks good in everything, this matter should not be hasty. We have to investigate and investigate seriously. Only adults can do it."
"Investigation?" Li Wan frowned.
Li Luo nodded, and said: "Yes, I just observe how Master Li behaves for a few days. Master Li looks upright, who knows if he is a hungry wolf in sheep's clothing."
Li Wan was a little guilty by what he said, so she immediately said, "Mr. Li, do as you please."
Li Luo had enough of teasing Li Wan, and was satisfied, he said, "Then the matter of investigating Mr. Li will be postponed, we still need to investigate the case."
Li Luo had a great time, and left Li Wan's room with a smile, planning to find some servants to inquire about Madam Qi.
Madam Qi died suddenly, and the maids who served Madam Qi were very nervous, for fear of being mistaken for the murderer, when Li Luo and the others passed by, the little maids were like frightened birds, not daring to breathe.
Li Luo said: "Don't be afraid, we are here to ask, what did your wife do last night?"
Madam Qi's personal servant girl said: "Madam fell asleep, but...but she got up suddenly after a while, saying that she wanted to go out."
Madam Qi had already taken a rest, but when she heard that the master was going to go out temporarily and would not come back in three to five days, Madam Qi suddenly said that she would not rest, and then began to dress up.
When Li Luo heard this, Mrs. Qi's behavior sounded like she was going to have an affair!
Madam Qi dressed up and left in thin clothes, not letting the maids follow, and the maids didn't know where she went.
As the little maid narrated, she was a little uneasy, and Li Luo could tell at a glance that she hadn't said the whole thing.
Li Luo said warmly: "Is there anything unusual? If the murderer of Mrs. Qi is not found after a long time, I'm afraid you won't feel at ease."
The little servant girl trembled, and said: "It's like this... This servant saw that Madam received a letter yesterday..."
It is better to say it is a small note than a letter.The little maid served Madam Qi personally, helping Madam Qi when she was putting on makeup, and accidentally saw Madam Qi holding a small note.
The servant girl said: "It says to let Mrs.
