The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1669
If this path fails, change another path. Since we can’t find the cause of Dou Shanglie’s death or the things that put him to death for the time being, let’s start with the living.

"Master Di, you must trust us, we really don't know anything about Mr. Dou's death." The two women in the cell on one side were lying on the door of the cell, looking at Di Renjie earnestly.

"On the boat that day, did you find anything wrong?" Di Renjie looked at the two of them and asked.

I asked this question the day after I took them back to Dali Temple, but nothing came out.

Asking again now, Di Renjie also wanted to ask if they remembered something that was ignored that night, and try to find out something new.

When Di Renjie investigates the case, he has never advocated the use of torture for interrogation, so he brought them into the cell, and up to now, they have not been sentenced to death.

Hearing Di Renjie's words, the five people fell into deep thought, but after thinking for a long time, they couldn't think of anything, so they could only shake their heads blankly.

Di Renjie sighed secretly in his heart, but still couldn't ask anything.

This case is really out of the question, he doesn't believe it, nothing can be found out.

When Di Renjie came back to the cell, he also told them a few words, told them about the attitude of Dou's family, and told them not to worry about going out in the cell, because going out is more dangerous. Now I have said what I should say, but I still can't ask. No matter what, there is nothing I can do, I can only check it myself.

After going to the prison cell, Di Renjie looked at the sky, he had an appointment with Xuan Shijing in the Xuanwu Building today, and it was time to go there now.

"Go to the morgue and tell Zuo Zuo to examine the corpse carefully and give me the results in the afternoon. I'll go out now, and I don't need anyone to follow me." Di Renjie said to his entourage behind him.

"Yes." The follower responded.

Di Renjie went back to his room, changed into casual clothes, left Dali Temple, and went to Xuanwu Tower.

Naturally, Xuan Shijing also remembered the agreement with Di Renjie. After coming out of the palace, Xuan Shijing went directly to Xuanwu Tower.

Sitting on the fifth floor of the Xuanwu Building, Xuan Shijing looked at the records on the table about the case. He didn't know much now, so even if he wanted to infer, he couldn't start.

Xuan Shijing thought, to be able to attack Dou Shanglie, it is still on the boat, there must be a lot of hatred and hatred, if there is no hatred and no hatred with Dou Shanglie, there is no need to kill people.

In this case, if you want to investigate, you can check the people who have grudges against Dou Shanglie, but the number may not be small. Dou Shanglie is a playboy, behind the Dou family, doing nothing all day long, fighting chickens and walking dogs, and molesting girls from good families He has done all kinds of things. It is a miracle in the world to do this kind of thing without making enemies.

The most important thing to investigate is the five people on the boat, they are still the most suspected.

"Come here." Xuan Shijing called out.

The servant waiting under the stairs heard Xuan Shijing's voice and walked into the fifth floor.

"Grandpa." The boy bowed his hands in salute.

"Did you hear about the case that happened on Xuanwu Lake the day before yesterday?" Xuan Shijing asked.

The boy nodded, and replied: "Master Hui, I heard that the diners who came to eat here in the past two days are talking about this matter, and the little ones have paid more attention to it."

There is no impenetrable wall in this world. There were still so many people in Xuanwu Lake that night. This matter cannot be covered up. Moreover, the Dou family did not intend to keep it a secret, so even the identity of the deceased was also unknown. It spread in Chang'an City.

The young master of the Dou family died, this topic is enough to discuss, and Dou Shanglie's reputation is not very good. After his death, many people praised him, saying that God has eyes and finally put an end to this disaster.

"About Dou Shanglie's death, what news have you heard here?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Sometimes, restaurants are really the best place to collect information.

"Back to the Lord, it's all news from the market. There are rumors in the market. Some say that Dou Shanglie offended someone, and they wish him to die. Some mentioned the past, saying that Dou Shanglie robbed someone's girl, and then it was those rich families. Dou Shanglie is involved in a lot of things where the younger generation is jealous and spends money in the Fengyue place." The boy said.

Xuan Shijing nodded, this is the standard life of a dude, the luxury and corruption like a textbook.

"Then, is there anyone talking about the identities of the other people on the boat that night?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"The boatman has been taking boats in Xuanwu Lake all the time. That's his way of life. Many boatmen in Xuanwu Lake recognize him and he is an honest man. I heard from them that the two girls who are with Dou Shanglie are Huifeng from Chang'an City. Upstairs, Dou Shanglie chartered a boat that day and took two girls out from Huifeng Tower," said the boy.

Xuan Shijing rubbed his chin, the identities of the five people on the boat are now known, two girls from Huifenglou, a boatman who eats on a punting boat at Xuanwu Lake, and two servants of the Dou family.

For Dou Shanglie's death, these five people are the most suspected, so to investigate, we must first check these five people to see if there was any kind of grievance between these five people and Dou Shanglie. If one of them has had a grudge, it will undoubtedly be a breakthrough in this case.

"Arrange a few people to inquire about these three people, the boatman, and the two girls from Huifeng Tower, and focus on finding out whether the three of them have any grudges with Dou Shanglie." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes." The servant replied.

The Xuanwu Tower is not just a simple restaurant, but also one of the sources of news for the Xuan family in Chang'an City. The servants in the Xuanwu Tower are also carefully selected by Qiandui, and they are arranged in the building. They appear to be servants , In fact, there are quite a few things to do, otherwise Xuan Shijing would not have given this matter to a servant so easily.

The boy just went downstairs, and after a while, he came up again.

"Grandpa, Master Di is here." The servant bowed and said.

Xuan Shijing was thinking about this matter, and when he heard Di Renjie came, he nodded and asked the servant to invite him up. For the details of this case, he still had to ask Di Renjie.

Di Renjie went up to the fifth floor and saw Xuan Shijing. After saluting, Xuan Shijing motioned Di Renjie to sit down and chat.

"It's been a day, have you discovered anything new?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Di Renjie shook his head: "Not yet, the five people locked up in the cell can't ask anything, and the things on the ship have been inspected, and there is nothing suspicious. It is said that Dou Shanglie died of poisoning, but the things on the ship , did not find any poison, when I went to Dali Temple today, I met Lord Dou Yan at the gate of Dali Temple."
