Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

Chapter 254 Fanwai ([-])

Wenguang 15th year, summer night.

A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and there are already scattered lights on the ground.Even in the bustling city like Beili, by this hour, most people have already blown out the lights and rested.

Of course, falling asleep or not is another matter.

"Hmm... Sir, take it easy..."

An ambiguous voice came from the room, and her response was another hard work.

Hearing the woman's melodious singing, a person on the roof commented: "Don't say it, it really sounds like singing."

As expected of a woman from Kitasato, her level is different.

The other person did not speak after hearing her comment, and raised his hand to pinch that fair and soft cheek, with a hint of warning in his intimacy.

Bai Sanxiu looked up and saw those deep eyes, and suddenly understood something, and hurriedly said in a low voice: "Not every woman can act."

"..."

Li Quan raised his eyebrows and asked quietly, "What about you?"

"Of course I don't—"

Bai Sanxiu answered casually, and only came back to her senses halfway through the speech, and suddenly stopped abruptly and almost bit her tongue.She didn't dare to look at the man beside her, turned her back, and secretly fanned her hot face.

Fortunately, the movement in the room didn't last too long, and it became peaceful.

Counting today, the two have been squatting on the roof of Huayue Tower for four days.When he first came here, Li Quan had covered her ears half-seriously and half-jokingly, but now both of them are deaf. If it wasn't for the inconvenience of the roof, they even wanted to get a deck of cards to play.

After Li Quan was promoted to Dali Zheng, although the unspecified department was still under his jurisdiction, he was entangled in official duties, so he seldom stayed in the office in person.This time, she was entrusted by Shi Niang to accompany Bai Sanxiu to investigate the strangeness of Huayue Tower.

According to Shi Niang, the guests who stayed overnight in Huayue Building recently experienced a scalp pain several times in their sleep.At first, I thought it was because I was under the pressure, but after someone got up and found that a lot of hair had fallen out, I realized something was wrong.

Although it was not a fatal injury, whoever came to Huayuelou to drink and listen to music had no identity?Appearance is also very important.If this continues, no matter how beautiful and affectionate the girl in Huayuelou is, no one is willing to take the risk of going bald.

So Shi Niang thought of Bai Sanxiu.

Although Shi Niang had a poisonous mouth, she didn't treat Bai Sanxiu badly back then, and she was paid quite a lot, so Li Quan didn't refuse.

At this time, the two were sitting on the roof, bored, Bai Sanxiu said: "Is it really 'haunted' again? But your kit didn't respond. In fact, hair loss is quite normal, right? After all, baldness is a man's lifelong enemy. "

Li Quan discovered early on that after being married for a few years, Bai Sanxiu would usually pretend to be an outsider, but in private, he became more and more casual.In fact, she is only familiar with the rules of the world, but in her bones, she is still the innocent and straightforward Ganoderma lucidum.

He didn't mention the fact that the son of the Minister of Rites became bald overnight, he just sighed and said: "It's good to investigate clearly. I'm also a man, so I feel anxious when I think about it."

"What are you anxious about?" Bai Sanxiu was taken aback, seeing that he seemed to be in a low mood, she hurriedly comforted her, "Your hair is fine! I comb it for you every morning, and it hasn't fallen out much."

"If there are really fewer in the future, then use mine to make a wig for you...you're kidding me again!"

Seeing that the corners of Li Quan's mouth could hardly be suppressed, Bai Sanxiu suddenly realized that she was about to pinch him in embarrassment, but then turned into surprise.

The kit radiated a layer of golden light!
"oops!"

Immediately, there was a cry of pain.But it's not the previous room, it's the other one on the right.

Li Quan's smile subsided, he immediately jumped down with Bai Sanxiu in his arms, and kicked open the door.

The man in the room was holding a handful of hair in a daze, and he was completely stunned seeing the battle, but it was Li Quan who had sharp eyesight and quick hands, raised his hand and shot an arrow into the air.

boom!
With a muffled sound, the thin arrow hit, and the object fell from the air to the ground and did not move.Li Quan stepped forward to pick it up and saw that it was a wooden comb.

Bai Sanxiu retrieved the arrow.

Inspired by her, this is Li Quan's special peach wood charm version of the sleeve arrow. It is convenient and accurate to shoot the troublesome things. If you are lucky, you can also recycle it. It can be said to be of high quality and low price.

"How about it?!"

Li Guan nodded to Shi Niang who came over after hearing the news, and led Bai Sanxiu out first.Later, Shi Niang, who comforted the guest, came to the room where the two of them were resting, saluted and said, "Master Li, thank you for your trouble. I just saw that Master Li caught a monster?"

Li Quan took out the wooden comb and handed it over, "Do you know it?"

Ten Niang took a look and almost blurted out: "It belongs to Tan Niang."

She is also a sharp person, and without waiting for Li Guan to ask, she took the initiative to explain: "Tan Niang is a girl who lived in the East Courtyard before, and she has a good relationship with Young Master Honglu Shaoqing, so Young Master Gao gave her this comb."

This is a wooden comb inlaid with mother-of-pearl made of red sandalwood and silver thread.

Bai Sanxiu asked: "Before? What about now, being picked up by Mr. Gao?"

Ten Niang glanced at her and held back her words.After all, Bai Sanxiu is now the wife of Dali, and her ten mothers can't afford to offend her.So he only said: "Two months ago, he hanged himself and died."

-

Wannian County.

"I've seen Master Li!"

As soon as he heard that Dali was visiting in person, Zhou Wang, the county captain, hurried out to greet him.

Li Quan asked him not to be too polite, and asked about Tanniang's case straight to the point.

Zhou Wang was a little surprised, so he hurriedly dug out the file and submitted it to Li Quan.

"Xu's Tanniang was found hanged in Huayuelou's residence on March [-]th. Although there was some confusion at the scene, the case was closed by suicide because the suicide note was finally found."

Li Quan grasped the point very keenly: "What happened at the scene?"

Zhou Wang didn't dare to be ambiguous, and tried his best to explain without omission: "Huayue Tower discovered Tan Niang's accident in the early morning of the [-]th. When the subordinate officials brought people to arrive, they had already been put down, and nothing else was moved."

"In Tan Niang's room, the tables and chairs were a little messy, but they were not upside down. The table was very messy, and the wine seemed to be swept to the floor and spilled all over. The place where she hanged herself was next to the table. People, they make sure they're just putting people down, and that's how it goes when they come into the house."

"Has she ever had an argument with someone?"

"This...can't be sure. The official also asked the guests and servants of Huayue Tower, but no one heard any movement in the room. Because there is a thick carpet in Tanniang's room, even if something falls on the floor, it is very dangerous outside. Hard to hear."

"Where did you find the suicide note?"

"Yes...it was sent by the son of Master Gao of Honglu Temple."

Zhou Wang was about to break out in a cold sweat, and explained nervously: "Mr. Gao said that it was a letter that Tanniang sent him the day before yesterday. The letter did not express a death wish, but only some words complaining about his frivolity, so Mr. Gao also I didn't take it seriously. The lower official compared the letter paper with Tanniang's usual pen and ink, and the handwriting is the same."

Only then did Bai Sanxiu understand why Shi Niang was hesitant to speak at that time.Zhou Wang spoke vaguely, but the case was concluded so quickly, obviously there were factors from the Gao family.

Li Quan didn't speak, but his serious face clearly showed that he was not satisfied with the investigation of this case.

Zhou Wang didn't dare to make a sound until Li Guan read all the files and said, "Send someone to Huayue Tower to restore the scene."

"Yes!" As if he had been pardoned, he quickly slipped away.

Although Zhou Wang did not have the courage to investigate the case, his work efficiency was not bad, so he restored the scene in the afternoon and sent someone to invite Li Quan to go there.

As Zhou Wang said, the situation in the house looked like there had been a dispute, but the degree was not serious. Except for the teapot and wine glass falling, there was nothing else.He didn't even fall down the stool that is usually used to step on the feet when hanging.

Li Guan glanced around and asked, "How tall is Tanniang?"

Zhou Wang said: "More than five feet, just a little taller than the girl next to me."

Hearing this, Li Quan raised his head to look at the beams of the house, then at the stool, his eyes became darker.

"Who was the first person to discover?"

The servant girl who was used to compare her height just now replied timidly: "My lord, it's a servant girl. Seeing that the young lady has been getting up for a long time, the servant girl pushed the door to see if she was not feeling well, and then found...then called someone to come .”

"When you came in, the stool was placed properly and it wasn't tilted?"

"Yes."

"Remember carefully!"

"It's...it's true!" the servant girl said in a panic, "This servant girl has never touched anything in the house!"

Only then did Li Guan slow down his tone, and asked again: "Since the stool is not upside down, what is Tan Niang's state? Is she stepping on the stool?"

"No, I... this servant remembered! Miss is hanging above the stool, about, about this distance."

The maid stretched out her hand and gestured, Tan Niang's toes were still about a punch away from the bench.

Immediately, Zhou Wang's complexion changed drastically, and he lost all blood in shock.

Seeing the stagnation in the atmosphere, Bai Sanxiu deliberately calmed down, pointed to the table and asked, "Is this the carpet that was laid in the room at that time?"

The servant girl froze for a moment, then whispered back to her: "Yes."

"After the wine is spilled, this piece is all wet?"

"Well...the stool is also a little..."

"Has the carpet been cleaned?"

"No, no!"

The servant girl is a newcomer, so she doesn't know the situation, but Zhou Wang has heard a lot about how the Dali and Zheng couples are very affectionate.So he hurriedly came forward to point out the area, "Madam, please take a look, it's about this big."

Bai Sanxiu frowned slightly.Seeing Li Guan looking over inquiringly, she shook her head slightly, and then he restrained his dignity a little and asked Zhou Wang to send the suicide note to Dali Temple for re-appraisal.
