Chapter 723 Longevity Flower, Grow Fast
Moler said, "Demon, what tricks are you trying to play again!" Li Chang laughed and said, "I want to help you solve the case. You two have strong limbs, but your official positions are not small. You will definitely encounter many important cases in the future. If you keep solving them like this, I don't know how many people will be killed."
Su Wang's face flushed: "In order to seek the truth, sacrifice is inevitable, and the cases taken over by Datian Temple are all extremely serious. No matter how many lives are lost, they are not as important as the truth!"
Li Changxiao ignored him and went upstairs. Moler and Su Wang looked at each other and thought to themselves, "This evil spirit is very powerful and can't escape anyway, so why not go up and take a look." So they followed behind him, holding the iron chain, and went upstairs.
Wang Qilang was at a loss, and it was also very creepy to stay in the lobby alone. After thinking for a while, he hurried upstairs. Li Changxiao walked in front and stopped in front of Song Zhuo's door.
Standing in front of the door, he said, "Solving a case and investigating the scene is actually more important than interrogating people. Look, this building is on the third floor, two feet above the ground, the doors and windows are closed, and it doesn't look like anyone has come in or out. There are very few footprints on the ground, except for you two, the rest are only Song Zhuo's own."
Li Changxiao explained his experience in solving the case in an orderly manner. He was not an expert in solving cases, but Ximi Country was located in a remote area. Although there was occasional material exchange with the outside world, there was not much cultural exchange.
The detective methods of Ximi Country are all the most primitive interrogation and intimidation. Li Changxiao's teachings are still very useful. Moller and Su Wang were dissatisfied at first, but as they listened, they gradually felt that it made a lot of sense.
Based on the many traces at the scene, we can draw some inferences. This is not a difficult thing, but it is difficult to think of it without anyone pointing it out.
Su Wang was still not convinced: "You do have a point. What if the criminal is you? How can we solve your elusive skills?" Li Chang smiled and said: "If I want to kill someone, it is too easy. What I teach you can only be used for ordinary people to commit crimes. It is not suitable for people like me."
Su Wang and Moler felt a chill in their hearts, and they knew that this man was powerful. Li Changxiao walked into the room and carefully observed Song Zhuo's body. His face was pale, and his eyes were wide open, as if he was staring at someone or something before he died.
Li Changxiao looked in the direction he was looking and saw a potted plant on the table. The flower was in full bloom, with red petals. Su Wang said, "This is the longevity flower. I also saw this flower when I was investigating the scene, but I didn't feel any problem." Li Changxiao asked, "Longevity flower?"
Moller said: "The longevity flower, one hundred flowers bloom in dense forests and deep swamps. If no one disturbs it, it can bloom for more than a hundred years, so it is named the longevity flower. Although the flowering period is long, it is not as bright as other flowers. And because the place where it grows is too dangerous, people other than the locals of Ximi Country generally don't know about this flower."
Li Changxiao understood, but suddenly doubts arose in his heart. He looked at Song Zhuo, then at the longevity flower, and thought, "Song Zhuo's death is closely related to this flower." He said, "Song Zhuo committed suicide."
Moller and Su Wangqi sneered and took a step back, neither of them believing what Li Changxiao said. Song Zhuo was a student who had studied hard for more than ten years and had profound knowledge. After finally becoming the top scholar, he turned around and committed suicide?
No one would believe it no matter who it was. The two of them immediately thought that the man in white was a demon. It was even very likely that he had committed a serious crime, and everything he had done before was just an attempt to cover up the truth and exonerate himself.
Li Changxiao sensed what the two were thinking, so he described the scene in detail to them. There were no traces of intrusion at the scene, and Song Zhuo hanged himself voluntarily, without any possibility of coercion from others.
Song Zhuo's eyes were wide open, and he tried his best to keep them open before he died. It was not that he died with his eyes open, but that he was trying his best to stay conscious and look at something.
There were obvious signs of suicide at the scene, but Li Changxiao knew the truth as soon as he entered the scene. There was nothing strange about the case itself.
but…
The things behind this suicide are what made Li Changxiao very interested and curious.
Moller and Su Wang looked at each other in bewilderment. After Li Changxiao's analysis, they could not find any fault with it. According to common sense, it was indeed suicide. But the two still doubted Li Changxiao because he could not explain it with common sense.
Besides, how could a top scholar commit suicide for no reason? Even if this was true, no one would believe it if it was spread out. For a time, Moller and Su Wang were in a dilemma. It was impossible for them to arrest Li Changxiao. But apart from Li Changxiao, all the signs showed that Song Zhuo committed suicide.
Moller was extremely confused. He had never dealt with such a complicated case before.
Li Changxiao saw that the two were struggling, so he proved his innocence and told them that if he wanted to kill someone, he didn't need to fake the scene, let alone go to such great lengths to exonerate himself.
As he said this, he was going to kill someone in front of the two men to show them. Then he asked Moler and Su Wang if they had committed any serious crime that was difficult to punish by law.
Moler and Su Wangqidao heard the name of a man named "Wang Xu", who was no more than 20 years old, arrogant and dissolute, and committed several murders. He deserved death. However, because he was a royal relative, the law was lenient, and he was taken to Datian Temple several times, but after a "one-day tour", he came out intact.
As it happened, Wang Xu was outside the door of Wang Qilang's inn, chewing melon seeds and watching the excitement, unaware that a disaster was about to happen. Li Changxiao's eyes were tinged with a layer of blue. He spied on Wang Xu's dream. Seeing that this man was indeed unforgivable and unworthy of pity, he blew a breath gently.
The next second, Wang Xu suddenly gasped for breath, his eyes rolled back, and he fell to the ground, dying instantly!
Moller and Su Wang were horrified when they saw this, but when they looked at Li Changxiao, their eyes were completely different. Li Changxiao threatened, "If I committed a crime, why would I need to disguise the scene? Why would I need to explain so much to you? If I really am an unforgivable criminal who disregards life, how can you investigators survive?"
The two deputy ministers of the Datian Temple had no choice but to believe it. They all prostrated themselves and called him a god.
After that, everything was back to normal. In the evening, the people from Datian Temple took Song Zhuo's body and evacuated Wang Qilang Inn. This small inn actually survived the storm.
……
In Song Zhuo's room.
Li Changxiao's face was solemn, his brows were furrowed, and he picked up a piece of dream fragment.
Before Song Zhuo died, there were only two words left in his dream:
“Grow faster, grow faster!”
“Hahaha, grow up quickly!”
