Standing in the restaurant, Mu Lan glanced at the people in the hall, none of them were suspicious, and she never had any enemies with others, but such a person was ruined after death, it looks like he has a deep hatred with the murderer look.

"Did Shi Da have any conflicts with the guests recently?"

"No, my lord. The guys in the shop never conflict with the customers." The restaurant steward lowered his hands and replied respectfully.

Mu Lan shook her head slowly, and looked at the people on the side: "I want to ask them, is there anything unusual about Shi Da recently? Or is there anything strange?"

The manager of the restaurant is equivalent to the owner of the upstairs semi-colon of the family, how could he know the daily life of every employee, but these people who stay with the dead all day are different.

Everyone looked at the steward in unison, then shook their heads, they didn't even dare to look at the officials.

Mu Lan went to see the restaurant manager again, and said calmly: "If you provide useful clues, the case can be solved earlier. If it keeps procrastinating, you will have to come to the restaurant to bother you. You don't want to affect the business, right?"

Sometimes the words of the government may not be as effective as the words of a manager. After all, this restaurant is their food and clothing, and the government is too far away from them.

The manager of the restaurant looked at everyone with interest: "Answer the adults' questions honestly. If you can provide useful clues, our building will also reward you."

At this time, a waiter wearing shorts clenched his fists and said: "The villain remembered something, and I don't know if it will be useful."

"Tell me in detail."

"At the end of last month, Shi Da chatted with me one night when he was sleeping, saying that he met a person who looked very similar to him, and said that he would take advantage of this rest to go back and ask his parents if they had any lost brothers. I heard from Shi Da that the guest even sent someone to find him privately, saying that he wanted to become a brother. At that time, he even flaunted to me that the brother was from a powerful family. Later, the younger one didn’t know gone."

After the waiter finished speaking, the hall returned to silence.

Mu Lan pondered for a moment and said: "Since the face is similar to Shi Da, has anyone seen this guest before?"

She had a hunch that the matter must have something to do with this guest, who looked similar and was destroyed after death, so it was strange no matter how she thought about it.

"The young one stood at the entrance of the hall to greet people. It was almost last month. I met a guest who looked similar to Shi Da. He was really like a brother. The nose, eyes, and mouth were carved out of the same mold. Yes, but that person looked to be from a wealthy family, so he was just surprised at the time, but he didn't pay attention later, but there was a regular customer with him, it was...it was Lu Jiasanlang." A clerk finished speaking in a low voice. There was another silence inside.

The people in the restaurant were afraid of the official errands, so they even took care of their breathing. As for the officers of the Ministry of Punishment, they quietly looked at Mu Lan, and they ordered that the new head was the adopted daughter of the Minister of the Household Department, and that he respected the great Buddha. , to offer.

When they heard Lu Sanlang, they immediately thought of Hubu Qiu Shangshu. After all, Miss Qiu is a famous beauty in the capital, and the news of her engagement to Lu Sanlang can be said to be known all over the city, and it even became a good story.

However, after it was revealed that Miss Qiu had been missing for several days, the Qiu Mansion and the Lu Mansion broke off their engagement, and it was said that the two families had turned against each other, so no one mentioned any good talk.

Mu Lan hooked the corner of her mouth, what a coincidence.

"Old Wang, go to Lu's mansion and find out who was with Mr. Lu at the end of last month, and Lao Hei will ask the parents of the deceased to see if there are any clues."

"The subordinates take orders." Lao Wang and Lao Hei led the people away quickly.

Mu Lan went back to the Department of Criminal Justice, but just after entering the door, she was stalked by a steward who claimed to be surnamed Ning, why did she use the word 'tangle', because this senior was a bit long-winded, and seemed to say no. finished words.

Any case must be submitted to Mr. Jin for approval first, and then he can be ordered to investigate, and the investigation must first greet the Jingzhao Mansion, and the transfer of personnel must be consulted...

Mu Lan listened patiently for a long time, if she hadn't had a good temper, she would definitely have chased people away.

However, she finally knew why the government had so many unsolved cases backlogged, and there was such a delay. Wasn't it to give the murderer time to destroy the evidence?

"Master Ning, I think it depends on the priority of the case. Sometimes it is not necessary to follow the procedure. What if the prisoner escapes?" Mu Lan disagreed. Sometimes it is more necessary to adapt to the situation and blindly follow the rules. , The day lily is cold.

Director Ning shook his head again and again: "The rules cannot be abolished, let alone the process."

"It's very timing. For example, when this case just happened, it's time to vigorously investigate. If it is delayed according to the procedure, the murderer will wipe the tail clean. How can we investigate then? I still have something to do. Please help."

Mu Lan's patience was almost exhausted. If she hadn't just come to the office and was eager to find a case that happened by the moat, this case would have been a few pages of dossiers, which had been pressed on the table.

There are almost countless files like this in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. If no one reminds them, the higher-ups don’t care. They just investigate the cases in order and according to the process without rush.

"Since the rules are established, they are meant to be obeyed by others, so there is a reason for them... Oh, Mr. Mu, hey, you can't teach a child."

Director Ning was talking when he saw Mu Lan turn around and leave, he shook his head and sighed, the little girl nowadays is really ignorant, only women and villains are hard to raise.

Mu Lan walked to her place, reached out her hand and took out a piece of paper from her bosom. Although there were only a few words written on it, it revealed extremely important information, but how to lead to this matter?

Just as he was thinking about it, Lao Wang came back, and he hurried back after he went to Lu Mansion to ask a question. That guy, Old Hei, just secretly told him in the restaurant that Mr. Mu is very capable, and that the two of them are coming soon. , as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to solve big cases in the future.

"Reporting to Mr. Mu, Mr. Lu said that there were two people traveling with him at that time, one was the long history of the Three Princesses' residence, and the other was the youngest son of He Dashi's residence in the Imperial Academy."

Hearing this, Mu Lan stood up and said, "Let's go, go and invite Chang Shi from the Three Princess' Mansion and Mr. He's youngest son, let the deceased's parents recognize him, and see who looks like Shi Da."

Lao Wang hurriedly agreed to invite someone, while Mu Lan went to wait in the lobby. When she saw the parents of the deceased, she said a few words of concern to Shi and his wife, and after half an hour, the person came.

Together with Mr. Ning, who came after hearing the news, he called her to watch her ask questions.

The third princess's long history expression was a bit arrogant, but because of the relationship between Mu Lan and Qiu Shangshu, he held back. Normally, how could he care about such a little master from the seventh rank.

Master He's youngest son seemed a little nervous, and his legs were trembling slightly, but it was hard to tell from his appearance.

No one else, because Shi and his wife have worked all year round, their skin is not only dark, but they also age faster than others, and their faces are full of wrinkles. No matter how you look at it, they don't look like these two people.

So how did Shi Da resemble one of these two? Is it really just a coincidence?

"Look at these two people, do they look similar to Shi Da?"

Shi Da's father nodded first: "This young master has some resemblance."

This is something that cannot be denied. After all, there are many people who have seen his son, and the staff of the restaurant are also there. No one can lie about this matter.

Shi Da's mother took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her eyes, and then replied, "My lord, she looks a little like my son."

They were referring to the youngest son of He Dashi's mansion, Young Master He.

Young Master He was already shaking like chaff, but Mu Lan didn't ask him in a hurry, but said casually: "Where did you two work when you were young?"

Shi Da's mother choked up, and stammered: "We did handyman for some master's mansion, washing clothes and so on."

"Which master's house?" Mu Lan's eyes lit up, and he continued to ask.

"I...I don't remember...my son..." Shi Da's mother wiped her tears again with a handkerchief, and finally wiped more and more, and couldn't help crying.

Mu Lan looked at it calmly, it seemed that the matter was not that simple.

Seeing this, Chief Ning at the side thought she hadn't been through this scene, and didn't know what to do, so he shouted: "Bold and foolish woman, how can there be noise in the courtroom!"

Shi Da's mother cried for a while, and then began to sob intermittently, Mu Lan still looked at the few people in the hall with great interest.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Master Ning said directly: "Really, have you ever been a maidservant in He Fu?"

Although he is not diligent enough, he has seen quite a few cases. Seeing this, he also understands something. This Mrs. Shi probably had an affair with Master He, so the son he gave birth to is not like their husband and wife, but with the He family. The young masters are similar, because they are all the species of He Dashi.

If this case is solved, even if it is recorded in Mu Lan's name, he will be able to show his face, and maybe Master Jin will give him a credit when he plays it.

Mr. Ning's thoughts changed, and he wished that the case would be finalized immediately.

"No." Shi Da's mother cried out in fright, but she denied it.

Director Ning immediately sneered and said: "Hugh has to deny it, and young master He, where were you the night before yesterday? Did you kill Shi Da? You might as well invite him."

It must be that Young Master He knew about the scandal between Master He and Mrs. Shi, and killed him to cover it up for his father.

Although Young Master He's body was trembling, his brain was agitated and he quickly denied it: "I stayed at home all night and did not leave the mansion. The gatekeepers and servants in the mansion can testify."

Master Ning thought that these two people were quite stubborn, and he wanted to use torture as soon as he was ruthless, but so far it was just a guess, and he beat them without conclusive evidence. It would be very difficult for that Scholar He to investigate.

Director Ning hesitated.

Mu Lan ignored him.

She lightly ordered: "Lao Wang went to He Dashi's mansion to find the concierge and servants, and Lao Hei went to Shi's house to find the neighbors around him, and asked each of them whether their words were true."

Then she walked to Lao Hei and whispered a few words.

Old Hei nodded solemnly: "Master Mu, don't worry, I promise to find out clearly."

Director Ning's face suddenly turned ugly, and then he squinted his eyes, he couldn't hit it himself, but this Buddha is Qiu Shangshu's adopted daughter, and he is eager to make meritorious service, hum.

So he leaned over and said: "Boss Mu, the truth has come to light. According to the old man's experience, they are not hard bones. They just need to hit a few boards and they will be recruited."
