I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 124 Lily is Dead
The gate of the small courtyard is closed, and the whole courtyard looks like it has just been renovated, and the gate is also painted with dark brown paint, which is in sharp contrast with other surrounding courtyards.

He exchanged a glance with Er Fatty and signaled him to back off.

Knocking on the door, a young man came out not long after, holding a sleeping baby in his arms, he opened the door to see a strange beautiful woman, he was a little puzzled.

"Girl, who are you looking for?" she asked while patting the child.

"Brother, may I ask, is this Zhao Yanzi's home?"

The young man glanced up and down, probably because he saw that Lu Xizhi was well dressed and well-spoken, and saw her attendants behind her, so he answered cautiously: "Who are you?"

Lu Xizhi had the bottom line in her heart, "I am the third miss of the Lu family, and Baihe is my mother's personal servant girl."

The man suddenly realized, "It turns out to be a nobleman from the Lu family, please come in quickly."

He hurriedly turned sideways to let the two of them enter the room, still shouting: "Meihua, Meihua, hurry up, here comes the distinguished guest." He turned around and greeted Lu Xizhi carefully: "Miss Lu, our place is small, not as big as yours, sorry You."

Lu Xizhi said politely: "This yard looks refreshing and well-maintained."

"It's thanks to Madam who thinks highly of Yanzi. I'm not capable as an older brother. The family is all thanks to her."

elder brother?

Lu Xizhi's heart skipped a beat. When she was at home just now, Chen's mother probably reported the situation of these maidservants to her. She remembered that there was no one in Lily's house for a long time, her parents died, and she had no relatives or reasons.

The man wiped the chair with his sleeve, beckoned Lu Xizhi to sit down, and handed the child to the woman who had just walked out of the room.

"Miss Lu, this is my daughter-in-law, her name is Meihua."

The woman was timid, and when she greeted Lu Xizhi, her face was as red as an apple, she shyly stretched out her hand to take the child, and wanted to go back to the back room.

"Please stay."

Meihua turned her head in confusion, looking at Lu Xizhi.

"How old is the child?"

"Miss Hui, the child is only three months old."

Lu Xizhi nodded, glanced at the restrained woman, and nodded friendly to her.

Meihua returned to the room, and the man standing aside was also a little embarrassed.

"Miss Lu, what are you doing today..."

"Mother heard from Lily that you are here, but she has been feeling a little unwell recently, so let me come over to see what else you need. I don't know what to call it?"

"Don't dare, don't dare. Lily often tells us that Madam is very kind to her. We are all very grateful. Being able to come to the capital is already like a dream. Thank you Madam for thinking about it, thank you Miss for thinking about it." The man suddenly remembered, "Oh, come back Miss Lu, my name is Zhao Hu."

"Brother Zhao, Lily, she works diligently and takes good care of my wife, but I always like to keep my thoughts in my heart. In fact, my wife still wants to send her to get married. This time, besides letting me come and see you, I just want to let you know by the way." Let's find out what you say as a brother, if you can trust us, then Madam will make up your mind for you."

When Zhao Hu heard it, he nodded immediately: "I believe it, oh, thank you so much Madam. I have mentioned it to her many times, and I will deal with the marriage first. After all, it is indeed not small. Bigger...I'm really worried."

With Zhao Hu's tone, Lily already has a sweetheart?
Lu Xizhi asked eagerly, "Brother Zhao, do you know the man's name?"

"This..." Zhao Hu seemed to be trying to remember, but finally shook his head.

"Then do you remember what he looks like?" Lu Xizhi suddenly sat up straight and kept telling himself to calm down.

The man shook his head again.

Lu Xizhi's whole body drooped, what should I do? !

If the clue of Lily is broken, how should I look up...how should I explain the stolen goods of the Lu family.

"Miss Lu..."

A thin voice came from the crack of the door, and then she walked out cautiously dressed in plain plum blossoms.

"Miss Lu, that man's name seems to have the word 'yu' in it."

Zhao Hu quickly got up to help her: "Meihua, why are you out, the child is asleep?"

Mei Hua nodded and looked at Lu Xizhi again.

Lu Xizhi's eyes lit up: "Sister-in-law Meihua, have you seen that man?"

Plum Blossom shook her head first, then nodded and said: "That day, Swallow was resting and came to see us. I came back from washing clothes by the river, but I saw a man walking out of the house. Swallow was still pulling his sleeve... It looked like... "She hesitated to speak.

"Sister-in-law Plum Blossom, don't worry, I won't say a word, after all, we are all for the good of Lily."

"They looked very close, and then Yanzi seemed to say, 'Young Master Yu, walk slowly'."

Mr. Yu...

"By the way, Brother Zhao, sister-in-law Meihua, how long has it been since you moved to the capital?"

Zhao Hu replied: "It must have been two months. After Meihua finished her confinement in the village, Yanzi took us here."

Meihua took over the conversation: "Yanzi also said that Mrs. Lu specially gave her some silver taels to settle us down. Dahu wanted to go out immediately to find a job, but Yanzi saw that I had just given birth and was in poor health, so he refused to let him go. go."

"That's right, thanks to Yanzi's savings. Speaking of which, I still want to thank Mrs. Lu."

The couple have always thanked Mrs. Lu well.

Lu Xizhi absently said goodbye to Zhao Hu and his wife, and told them that the capital has been in chaos recently, and asked them to stay at home and try not to go out.

After Lu Xizhi left, Mei Hua looked at her husband in confusion: "Miss Lu is really different."

Zhao Hu looked thoughtfully at the direction the woman was leaving, but did not answer.

Lu Mansion
Lu Xizhi drank a big mouthful of tea: "Brother, is there anyone with the surname Yu in our capital?"

"At?"

"Well, especially, is there any Young Master Yu in your academy?"

"There are, but this Mr. Yu... is not from the capital city. Their family is in the casino business, so they shouldn't have entered the academy. Later, I don't know what kind of relationship they asked Yu Lineng to attend the class."

"Yu Li, how old are you? Are you married?"

Lu Ziyi thought for a while, "Twenty-one, I already have a wife at home, this Yu Li is different from his father, he has a bookish air all over his body, although he was enlightened late, but he has a high understanding and can Let Mr. take a high look."

"Brother, do you know him well?"

Lu Ziyi shook his head, "In such a family, even if he studies well, no one in the academy will talk to him, and he himself is withdrawn."

"Xizhi, why are you asking this?" Aunt Zheng asked.

"Just now I found out that there is a yard two streets away from Lily. The young couple living there claim to be her brother and sister-in-law. They also mentioned that Lily had a close relationship with a young man. I think this man is very Suspicious, Lily's cooperation with others, and her sudden departure are all related to this man."

"You mean, this man is Yu Li?" Lu Ziyi was taken aback.

"No, I'm not sure, because Lily's sister-in-law only heard her call the man 'Master Yu'."

"What should we do next?" Aunt Wang said at this moment.

Lu Xizhi didn't think about it for a while, and stared at her blankly.

"We are all members of the Lu family. If there is an accident at home, we have to do our best to solve it. You are working too hard alone. Although my aunt is not as smart as you, we can still do some errands."

fair enough.

Lu Xizhi nodded, "Then trouble Aunt Bai, that yard costs a hundred taels of silver anyway, I heard from Zhao Hu that they moved to the capital only two months ago, go and find out who bought that yard , who is the owner of the deed."

Then he said to Zheng Jingyu: "Auntie, just now Chunxiang said that Lily didn't feel well when she got up in the morning. Go to the nearby pharmacy and ask if she has taken any medicine recently, and what kind of medicine she has taken."

Finally, he said to Lu Xiruo: "Sister, there must be someone guarding the house, you stay there, if someone comes to your door, find a way to get rid of them, seeing that you are a young woman, forgive them for not daring to do anything."

After arranging everything, Lu Xizhi pulled Lu Ziyi and walked towards the door. She was going to a place.

As soon as she walked to the door, she saw Bei Xue suddenly ran in front of her
"Miss Lu, a female corpse was found by the moat, it is Lily!"
