I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 127
Early the next morning, Lu Xizhi finished simple washing, changed his clothes, and went straight to the servant's room.

Because Baihe is the oldest maid in the family, Li Wenjun gave her a small private room because she was considerate, hardworking and not afraid of losing money.

Pushing open the door, a fresh scent of soap locust came. First of all, I looked around and found that although the room was small, it was well-organized, and the owner was virtuous and elegant everywhere.

Looking around, there is only a narrow kang, a dressing shelf, and a wooden box for clothes in the room, and there is nothing else, and it seems that there is nothing to hide.

Lu Xizhi carefully searched every corner, but even rummaged through all the clothes in the cage, but couldn't find a piece of paper, so she put down her hands and sat on the ground blankly.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. If the Lu family can overturn the case, it's impossible for Lily to leave no escape for her. Or, the other party's forces convinced her that she would definitely kill the Lu family.

"First of all, look at the sleeve pockets of each dress." Aunt Zheng reminded her.

Ok? !

Yes, how could I forget this.

Lu Xizhi began to rummage through the inner pockets again, and finally found something tricky on a small shirt.

"A piece of paper, what's written on it?" Lu Xiruo took it over and opened it to read, and slowly read out: "Lonely wind, willows, rain, flying wounds, lucky to have you and me as a pair."

"This is a love poem, Lily can't read, why did someone write this for her?" Bai Rongyin said.

Lu Xizhi stood up and took the piece of paper. The font on it was neat and neat, the writing was easy and natural, and the ending was neat and neat. This must have been written by a scholar, maybe the lover who made Lily betray the Lu family.

"My two aunts, a female corpse was found by the moat yesterday. It was Lily. After Wang Yu's autopsy, she was strangled to death and was pregnant for a month before she died. I think the man who wrote this love letter , is the murderer who killed her."

Everyone present was frightened and stayed where they were. The gloom that had been lingering over the Lu family for the past two days was completely blown away at this moment, and everyone shed tears. The elderly Chen Ma and Wang Ma were already sobbing .

Li Wenjun staggered suddenly, thanks to the maid beside her who supported her: "Ma'am!"

"Fu Rong, quickly help Madam go back to the room to rest, and then find a doctor to come over for a pulse diagnosis." Aunt Zheng quickly ordered.

After Li Wenjun fell asleep, a group of people withdrew.

"Aunt Bai, what happened to the matter I asked you to ask yesterday?" Lu Xizhi asked.

"Yesterday I asked a few house fangs in this area, and one of them was the middleman of the house on the east side. According to her recollection, a young woman asked her to buy a house more than two months ago, and she only saw it for less than two minutes. Zhong, decided to buy that yard. The house was a bit dilapidated. At that time, the original owner wanted to sell it for only 60 taels, but the woman said on the spot that she was willing to add an extra [-] taels, but asked the owner to move out within three days. Fang Yazi said , the woman doesn't look like a rich man, but she is a hidden and generous spender."

Lu Xiruo interjected: "Where did Lily get so much money, even in the past ten years, she can't save so much without eating or drinking at the Lu family."

Lu Xizhi continued to ask: "Do you still remember who the woman bought the house for?"

"Fang Ya said that there are too many people coming and going to the capital, those who settle down, those who leave...she can't remember clearly."

Lu Xizhi sighed in disappointment, and asked persistently, "Did Fang Yazi say whether they gave cash or bank notes?"

"It's cash, it's a big bag." Aunt Bai replied.

He really didn't leave any clues for her, so that nothing leaked.

"Did that woman go to see and buy a house alone?"

Aunt Bai nodded.

"Auntie, where are you? Did you find anything from the nearby pharmacy?"

Zheng Yujing shook his head, "Except for the owner of the pharmacy on the opposite street who said that Lily went to him the day before yesterday to get some anti-emetic medicine, no one in the other two pharmacies has seen Lily."

Lu Xizhi thought for a while, "I didn't know that she was pregnant in advance, so if she wanted to take anti-natal drugs, she would definitely not dare to buy them at the pharmacy near us."

"Unfortunately, you went to see the master yesterday, is he okay?" Zheng Yujing asked her daughter.

"Father is very good. I also entrusted someone to change my father's prison today... to another room. Don't worry, the two aunts."

She asked Lu Ziyi to go to the academy again to inquire about Yu Li's situation from the sidelines, and then rushed to the East Factory without stopping.

On the carriage, Lu Xizhi asked Beixue:

"Beixue, those who have been ordered by Factory Superintendent Yuan to leave the customs must first report to the East Factory. Is there a record of all those who have applied?"

"Yes, it's all on record."

After arriving at Dongchang, she jumped out of the carriage, grabbed Bei Xue and said:
"Bei Xue, is there a way for you to go to the household department to get a copy of the deed of that house?"

Bei Xue clasped her fists readily: "Girl, don't worry, leave it to me."

She turned her head and told Xifeng: "Xifeng, please go to the yamen and invite Wang Wuzuo and Qi Yongqi to come here quickly. I need help from them urgently."

After the two separated, she came to Yuan Yanxi's office and study. When Yuan Yanxi was about to leave for Hong County, he whispered in her ear that she could come in and out of this room at will. Sure enough, the two men in black at the door saw that it was her. He didn't stop him, just nodded to her.

With Yuan Yanxi's work style, he must have arranged the documents very neatly. Lu Xizhi searched for documents in rows, and found a customs clearance application on the shelf after a while.

When I opened it, I saw that there were dense records of businessmen, dealers, students, travellers, and envoys who went back and forth outside the customs in the past three months.

Where to find it, Lu Xizhi was dumbfounded.

I thought that there would not be more than ten people coming and going in the closed country in ancient times, but it turned out...

Just when she was about to give up and find another way, a seal on Yuan Yanxi's desk suddenly flashed across her mind.

Seal, official seal?
Lu Zhonglian lost his official seal, but he found it in the yard early the next morning, could it be...

Yao Zhongjin did not get the customs clearance seal from Lu Zhonglian that day, so he tried to apply to Dongchang, but was flatly rejected, and then they had to find a way to steal his father's seal, and then they were found out when they left the customs and were escorted back to Dongchang Prison , and that night, a fire broke out in the East Factory...

Those three people, are they...? !Will things be like this?

Lu Xizhi hurriedly found the day when his father lost his official seal. Sure enough, there were three names that not only echoed the characteristics of two men and one woman, but were also a little strange...

Gedanwei, Sangbo, Ma Lei

It's not the names of people from Da Jin, they are foreigners, so my father is very cautious, and Yuan Yanxi is also suspicious.

In addition, there is an unexpected person who is about to leave the customs.

Yu Li!

Suddenly, with a bang, there was a lot of movement outside the door.

"Miss Lu invited us here."

This is Qi Yong's voice.

But the man in black just replied indifferently: "Don't enter strangers, back away!"

"Far away, let's catch up quickly!"

Lu Xizhi walked out from inside.

"You haven't reported the funeral to Brother Lily yet, have you? Let's go together!"
