Chapter 105 The Kitchen Knife Thief
The blacksmith's shop is at the top of the west side of the market, with all kinds of knives and farm tools available.Bai Sanxiu originally thought that there was something tricky about this blacksmith shop, but the situation he asked was unexpected and reasonable enough to make it impossible to pick any thorns.

"Ask that Yu Si who bought the knife? Remember, the case of killing the county magistrate?" Because he worked forging iron all year round, the blacksmith Wang Lai has a very muscular body, very strong, and his voice is very loud.

"Do you remember the situation? He directly offered to buy a meat cleaver?"

"No! He just wanted to buy a kitchen knife, but it happened that all the kitchen knives were sold out that day, leaving only the meat cleaver."

"All sold out?" Li Quan and Bai Sanxiu were both startled.Although kitchen knives are essential for household use, after all, one can be used for many years. Most people even get a whetstone to sharpen it by themselves, and the replacement speed is very slow. Why is it suddenly so popular?
"That's right! It's a strange thing to say. A lot of people lost their kitchen knives in those days, as did a few restaurants and restaurants, so they all came to me to buy them. Didn't they buy all the kitchen knives? Yu Si was in a hurry to use them. I had no choice but to buy a meat cleaver. Who knows, it was intended to be used to kill people!"

"Thank you bro."

After walking a few steps away, Bai Sanxiu looked at Li Guan helplessly: "This trick is really powerful, forcing him to buy a meat cleaver. What should we do now, catch the kitchen knife thief?"

Li Quan shook his head: "It happened a few months ago, so there is no way to find out. The people behind this scene are smart."

"Then this thread is broken?"

"Remember Mrs. Jia mentioned that Jia Sicang has been worrying since the river was opened?"

"Well. Since he was killed inexplicably, what he worries about is either business affairs or personal enmity. But Si Zhi and Lord Yan didn't find any enemies, did they?"

"Si Cang Zuo's duties combined with time, it's not difficult to explain his worries. In fact, I have long suspected the real murderer behind the scenes, but..."

"It's just that there is no evidence." Bai Sanxiu answered.

Li Quan snorted softly, and was about to speak when someone shouted, "Daozhang Li!"

The two of them were strolling in the market at random, chatting about the case one after another, but suddenly others recognized Li Quan, and several people gathered around at once, asking questions.It seems that his fortune-telling booth is not in vain.

"Li Daochang, why haven't you been out of the stall these few days, I still want to ask for divination!"

"I had something to do a few days ago."

"Then when will you..."

"Wait a minute, isn't this Li Daochang?" Suddenly a male voice broke into the crowd, with that arrogant and domineering tone, one could tell who it was. "You took so much money from my family, and ran away before finishing the business? How dare you lie to my Chen family, you are so cowardly!" The young master of the Chen family pushed aside the crowd, pointed at Li Quan's nose and cursed.

Bai Sanxiu didn't have a good impression of Chen Cai at first, but when he heard him scolding Li Quan, he immediately became furious.

"What are you barking about? Didn't Mister check the Chen residence before and after? A lot of talisman papers are useless. Why did you cheat money?"

"Shut up! Young master, I'm talking about something, it's your turn to intervene? Where's the little bitch...Huh?" Chen Cai saw Bai Sanxiu clearly, and suddenly paused, then his brows and eyes relaxed, and he smiled, "This is Li Daochang's maid? Interesting, she looks a bit like that stinky girl Qiao Yan."

He showed an obscene and lewd look without any concealment. Li Guan stretched out his hand to block Bai Sanxiu behind him, his eyes flashed sternly, and he said slowly: "The ritual of your mansion is over. Besides, the censor is now investigating the old case." , if I stay at the mansion again, it will be inconvenient if the censor becomes suspicious."

"You..." Chen Cai choked for a moment, retorted speechlessly, spat, and walked away.

"I don't think he's been so arrogant for a few days!"

"That's right, this time it's an official from Beijing, and he's sure to investigate the Chen family!"

"It's hard to say, haven't you heard of officials protecting each other..."

Amidst the discussion, Bai Sanxiu quietly tugged on Li Quan's sleeve.Li Quan looked down, she was happy, her eyes were shining brightly, she was very lovable.

She pulled him aside, although her voice was small, she couldn't hide her excitement.

"I thought of a way to catch the murderer!"
