Chapter 724: A series of tragedies
Wang Qilang Inn has survived all these storms and is still operating at an extraordinary rate, which shows how powerful he is and how big his background is. The result of the tragic death of the top scholar has not been announced yet, and there have been many speculations from the outside world.
The inn has fewer people, so who dares to wade into the muddy water before the result is clear? Wang Qilang was still in fear and sat at the counter in a daze all day. Li Changxiao had already paid off the bad debt, so he didn't have to sell his labor anymore. He sat in the lobby all day, ordering a few drinks and a few side dishes, and was leisurely.
Ximi is indeed a small country, but there may be something hidden behind it. Li Changxiao came here by accident. Half a day later, Moler and Su Wang changed into plain clothes, put on black hats, and sneaked into Wang Qilang Inn from the side door.
Wang Qilang was shocked, thinking that the matter was not over yet, and that Moler and Suwang were the Black and White Impermanence, coming to take his life! Tears fell, his legs went numb, and his face turned completely pale.
While he was daydreaming, Moler and Su Wang knelt down together. They were not here to arrest the criminal, but to pay homage. They were very respectful to Li Changxiao and treated Wang Qilang with courtesy.
original.
Moler and Su Wang were both junior officials of the Datian Temple. Although they had the responsibility to judge the case, the result still had to satisfy His Majesty. After they returned, they immediately reported to His Majesty that the top scholar had committed suicide. They were extremely worried, but they had no other options. If His Majesty punished them with capital punishment, they would have to swallow their anger and admit it.
Unexpectedly, the report was well-written and after reading it, His Majesty felt that Moler and Su Wang had made some progress. But it was obvious that the case had not been completely sorted out, such as why Song Zhuo committed suicide, the longevity flower, etc. There were still many doubts. So he sent two people to continue the investigation.
The two of them were investigating, but unexpectedly, at this moment, another major case occurred. A high-ranking official of the dynasty also committed suicide in his own courtyard!
The common point is that there is also a longevity flower next to the corpse of the high-ranking official. The flower blooms prominently, fluttering in the wind, like a raging fire. Based on the detective knowledge learned from Li Changxiao, Moler and Su Wang investigated the scene and found that although the high-ranking official also "hanged himself", there were many people coming and going at the scene, so it was not necessarily suicide.
So they followed the clues, detained everyone in the mansion, and tried to solve the case as soon as possible. But less than half a day later, another official hanged himself in his tree house. The death was similar, and two major cases were solved in one day. The people in Datian Temple were in a panic, and everyone lost their appetite and couldn't sleep.
So, early in the morning of that day, Moller and Su Wang came, knelt on the ground, and said, "This case involves too many things, and there may be evil spirits involved. We hope you can help us, sir." They were extremely respectful.
Li Changxiao dared not call himself a master. He was thinking, Mei Sanniang became a king, but she left a bad debt. I don't know whether it was intentional or not. No matter whether it was intentional or not, the two evil spirits in the vegetable market dominated the vegetable market. How glorious it was. No matter what, I must get a position and use the power of the tiger to bully others.
Besides, this matter was very strange. Since he had run into it head-on, it would not hurt to take care of it and investigate it, even if he was accused of being a "nosy person". So he walked around behind Moller and Su Wang, put his hands on their shoulders and said, "Come on, take me to have a look."
Without any airs, Moller and Su Wang looked at each other with strange eyes. They had lowered their attitude and addressed each other as "Mr." this time, they really wanted to ask for advice and show respect. However, at this moment, they were arm in arm, as if they were friends of the same generation, relaxed and comfortable, quite harmonious. The two had never seen such a "Mr." before.
It was difficult to call him "Mr.", and he hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to address him. Li Chang smiled and said, "Just call me Lao Li."
The word "Sir" is too arrogant.
The two walked arm in arm towards a mansion. They walked arm in arm, but in fact, Li Changxiao was playing a trick. As he walked, his legs suddenly shrank and hung in the air. His whole body seemed to be hanging between Moller and Su Wang.
Moller and Su Wang were much stronger than ordinary people, so they could bear the weight of one more person without any problem. However, the crowds of people on the street inevitably attracted strange looks. Thinking of their current posture, they couldn't help but feel ashamed. They all thought in their hearts: "This senior seems to be too playful and has a very strange personality, but he doesn't seem to be difficult to get along with."
Soon, they arrived at a high-ranking official's residence. The tree house was about ten feet high and covered a large area. Several tree houses were intertwined and connected to each other, covering a very large area.
I saw that the tree house had everything, including a pond filled with dew, ripe fruits and vegetables, bird nests, and hanging vines.
The official residence is indeed different. Li Changxiao secretly compared and found that although Ximi Country is small, the quality of this residence is really not inferior to that of a first-class country. The local customs and characteristics are quite interesting. Stepping into the residence, there is a different world. There are courtyards, beautiful scenery and gardens on the trees.
The corpse of the high official was hung in the garden. In the garden, there were hundreds of flowers competing for beauty, but among them, a bright red flower attracted the most attention.
It is the longevity flower.
Among all flowers, it is the only one that is beautiful. Among all flowers, it is the only one that is beautiful. Li Changxiao gently stroked the longevity flower. Even if this longevity flower blooms for a hundred years, so what? It will eventually wither and die.
Li Changxiao took a closer look and knew that this was a high-ranking official. He did not commit suicide, but was murdered. This high-ranking official was tall, with broad shoulders and a big waist. At first glance, his death was similar to Song Zhuo's, but in the subtle details, there were great differences.
The official's eyes were tightly closed before he died, and there were several creases on his clothes on his back, because he was first knocked unconscious by anesthetics, and then hung in the garden. Without any consciousness, his life slipped away little by little, and he finally died.
The clues in this case are obvious, so there is really no need to speculate. Moller and Su Wang were impressed after hearing this. They felt that it was very simple, but they could not think of it by themselves.
At the same time, I was inexplicably obsessed with this process of deducing through details. Seeing Li Changxiao solving cases as if it were fun, I admired him so much. I simply respected him.
What the two of them didn't know was that Li Changxiao could also observe dreams, although he intended not to use this ability to increase the fun of solving cases. But every time he finished his deduction, he would pick up a few pieces of dream fragments to prove it in his mind.
There is a strong suspicion of cheating.
