Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 550 The reason, the way to sell stolen goods
The next day, Li Mi was invited to Dali Temple again.

On the way to see him, Xun Zeli leaned close to Su Rao's ear and whispered, "According to the report from the spies, those people went to look for Sun Sheng last night, and Sun Sheng's long entourage went to the inn where Li Mi is."

Several people exchanged news, presumably at this moment Li Mi already knew the purpose of calling him, and had prepared his words.

Su Rao walked into the hall, Li Mi clasped his sleeves and bowed his hands as usual.

Take their seats.

"Dare to ask the supervisory order, what have you committed, is it worthy of your Supervisory Office to arrest you again in the yamen after a few hours?"

Li Mi broke the silence first.

Judging from his face, his patience seemed to be exhausted.

"I think Tanhualang knows what's in his mind."

Su Rao smiled, disapproving of his annoyance, "Yesterday what you said about whereabouts when the crime happened is not entirely true."

Xun Zeli and the others stared at him intently.

Wait for his explanation.

Li Mi folded his sleeves and sat down, his face was slightly cold: "So?"

"Why do I have to tell you all about my whereabouts? Is it because I am a criminal, or did the prison order you to obtain evidence of my involvement in the murder?"

"If this is the case, Lord Su should report to the Ministry of Punishment and Your Majesty, deprive me of my fame and official status, and put him in prison, and deal with it again, instead of making fun of me over and over again."

"Li Mi, look clearly, this is Dali Temple, you'd better correct your attitude."

Gu Cheng's eyes froze, and he said sharply.

Li Mi glanced at him expressionlessly, "Although the editor in the palace is a small official, I am the third flower hand-picked by His Majesty after all, and I still have a job, not a small man in white clothes, who can be manipulated at will."

"I am not your prisoner, the deputy envoy must be clear about this."

His tone was flat, but his attitude was tough.

Lao Hei, Shen Yuan and the others frowned when they heard this, Xun Zeli stopped Gu Cheng and said with a light smile, "There's something to say, so why hurt your friendship."

He looked at Su Rao and kept winking, telling her to think of a way quickly, so as not to cause too much embarrassment.

Su Rao received his signal, cleared her throat, and broke the deadlock jokingly, "Don't be annoyed when you are looking for flowers, young people are impatient, and they have no intention of speaking, and absolutely have no intention of humiliating you."

"You're right, I'm looking for you to assist in the investigation, and there's no need to report everything."

"It's just that the officer is a little strange."

Su Rao looked at him with a smile, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: "Tan Hua is not afraid of the slanting shadow, so why hide something about these trivial matters?"

Li Mi's face turned pale, but the corners of his mouth were still pursed into a straight line. After a while, he said, "I have a bad relationship with Li Cheng. After seeing that side, it's even worse. If he died, he might suspect me." On the other hand, no one around me could prove it for me that night, Brother Sun was afraid that I would be implicated innocently, so he covered it up for me."

"However, after many days of investigation by the supervisory order, it should be clear that I am a Jinshi, and I have been appointed and appointed as an official. The future is very bright, and there is no need to kill him."

"Furthermore, when the murderer throws the body during the peach blossom banquet, he must avoid the crowd, and I have been with Brother Du and the others from the beginning to the end, so there is no chance at all."

The reason he excused himself was the same as what Su Rao said.

Gu Cheng and the others couldn't help feeling suspicious.

Could it be that he has been wronged?

After hearing these words, Su Rao neither agreed nor refuted, but after thinking for a while, asked softly: "You said that no one can prove it for you, so where did you go on the night of the 21st?"

Li Mi's expression changed, and after a while, he sighed deeply and uttered four words: "Haiyan Qinghe."

"You went to Haiyan Qinghe that night?"

Xun Zeli lost his voice in astonishment.

Li Mi nodded, and said embarrassingly: "This time for the Beijing entrance exam, I am grateful to Brother Sun for taking care of me a lot. I can't repay you. I finally have a future, so I want to give some gifts in return."

"But he has no worries about food and clothing, and ordinary objects are definitely not good, so I thought about going to Haiyan Qinghe to try my luck."

"Sun Sheng doesn't know about this?"

"At the beginning, I was afraid that I might not find a suitable one, so I didn't tell him. Later, Li Cheng died, and what happened that night again. I felt uneasy, so I told Brother Sun."

What he said was reasonable, but there was not enough evidence to prove that he was related to the murder.

Regardless of Li Cheng's death, he has nothing to do with Xu Chenming on the face of it.

In the end Xiao Qing sent people away with a smile on his face.

Xun Zeli frowned deeply, looked at the crowd and said helplessly: "There is really no way to prove what he said. There are so many people coming and going in the Haiyan Qinghe River, even an old ghost can't remember a passerby."

He could know that Li Cheng was because of the knife in his heart.

"Anyway, I just think this person is a bit strange. My lord asked a question just now, but he directly retorted. This reaction is a bit over the top."

Gu Cheng said to himself.

The others nodded.

"His words reminded me, Haiyan Qinghe..."

Su Rao said suddenly, "Is there a more suitable place to sell stolen goods than Haiyan Qinghe?"

"The murderer set fire to Xu Chen's bamboo house, and took away the sea pine wood box and those famous paintings. After taking these things away, they are nothing more than exchanged for some money. They dare not hang them at home openly."

"Yes, if the murderer is a picture, then he can steal it, and he won't make such a big commotion by killing someone. Besides, according to the results of the autopsy, the murderer has hatred for Xu Chen... Killing is the main purpose. Take Painting is just casual..."

Xun Zeli was thoughtful, and said leisurely: "Xu Chen's collection of paintings is very famous in Shengjing. Not only is it cumbersome to carry the paintings around, it is also easy to arouse suspicion. The best way is to take them directly to Haiyan Qinghe."

"The news that Haiyan Qinghe won't betray his employer, the murderer has benefited from it, and also freed him from worries. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

"These are just guesses..."

Lao Hei poured a pot of cold water, causing everyone to look at him, Xun Ze said happily, "It's a guess, but it can be confirmed."

"Haiyan Qinghe always sells the paintings when he gets them. Although we can't get any news about the employer from them, as long as the paintings are there, it means that our guess is correct."

"The murderer is short of money."

Xun Zeli looked at Su Rao with bright eyes, "It seems that we have to go to Haiyan Qinghe again."

"Just right."

Su Rao's expression froze, "I should also perform the contract, I paid the last reward, I'll go."

"We are also together."

Xun Zeli and Gu Cheng said in unison.

With such a thing in my heart, I must be tossing and turning at night, so I might as well go there.

Su Rao didn't refuse, and Xun Zeli realized later: "You bought Qianshanxue? Didn't it mean that Wanghai Building has already been sold out?"

Su Rao's lips twitched slightly, and just as she was about to explain, someone rushed ahead and said with a smile: "You can't buy it, but it was specially ordered by the eldest son of the Lu family to deliver it."

"Lu Lanyou?"

Xun Zeli looked at her, and said meaningfully: "He is really generous to you, this person is not easy to provoke, you have to be careful, don't get yourself burned..."

"Dogs bark."

Gu Cheng gave him a white look, stretched out his hand to hook his neck and walked out, "Hurry up and clean up, don't think about these things..."
