I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 129
"Xizhi, are you okay?" Wang Yuanzhi's cold voice rang in his ears.

Lu Xizhi suddenly came back to his senses, looked at him blankly, and answered after a while: "Well, I'm fine, and I will definitely save my father."

"Master Lu has his own auspiciousness, and as the saying goes, evil does not overwhelm righteousness. He must be fine."

Lu Xizhi nodded, "We haven't seen each other for a while, I heard that you have solved many cases."

"It's mostly a neighborhood dispute, but I went to neighboring counties a few times to help with the inspection of a few corpses."

"Your medical skills can't be found second in Dajin."

Wang Yuanzhi smiled, "Master said, this is called flattery."

Lu Xizhi looked at him strangely, and was rarely relaxed.

"By the way, stay away. About ten days ago, did you ask you to examine three burnt corpses?"

Wang Yuanzhi nodded, "Indeed, Jingming asked me to check it."

"Is there anything suspicious about the three corpses?"

Looking at Lu Xizhi's serious appearance, Wang Yuanzhi's meaningful eyes seemed to explain everything, "The three deceased did not die from fire, but were poisoned, and it was extremely poisonous; There were few old injuries, and two of them showed signs of broken bones in their arms and thighs."

Lu Xizhi was not surprised after hearing this, "So...they are probably..."

"That's right, they are not only martial arts practitioners, but more like specially trained killers." Wang Yuanzhi finished speaking for her.

The killer failed in the assassination and wanted to escape from the customs, but did not obtain the customs clearance documents, and soon fell into the hands of Dongchang. The mastermind was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he poisoned the murderer and set a fire in an attempt to destroy the evidence.

As for pointing the finger at Lu Zhonglian, it was just to warn those officials who are inconvenient and loyal to their duties. The ultimate goal is Dongchang, Yuan Yanxi!

Wang Yuanzhi sensed her absent-mindedness, and knew that the matter was not simple: "Unfortunately, are those three people related to your father's accident?"

"Not sure yet, but I always feel like there's a connection here."

At this moment, Zhao Xuanwu shouted from the front: "We are here."

"Let's talk about it later, let's go to Lily's house first." Lu Xizhi jumped out of the carriage after speaking.

Zhao Xuanwu knocked on the door, and it was Zhao Hu who came out to open the door.

He was taken aback when he saw the tall Zhao Xuanwu, and swallowed the words on his lips.

"Is this the home of looking for Yanzi?" Zhao Xuanwu's many years of headhunting career, Lian Jiazi's figure and upright expression are very capable of deterring criminals.

"Yes... yes... yes, yes, I..." Zhao Hu murmured incompletely.

Lu Xizhi walked out from behind Zhao Butou at the right time, "Brother Zhao, it's me."

Zhao Hu's eyes immediately turned to Lu Xizhi, as if he saw a rescuer in an instant, "Miss Lu!"

She nodded and introduced to him: "This is Zhao Xuanwu, Zhao Butou and Wang Yuzuo from the yamen."

"Oh oh oh, so it's the official messenger, please come in please come in." Zhao Hu hurriedly opened the door wide and let them enter the room.

"Meihua, come on, we have guests, let's serve tea."

Mei Hua raised the curtain and saw Zhao Xuanwu, she was too shocked to move, Zhao Hu winked and pulled her clothes before realizing it, his face turned red again.

These are really two honest people.

"Brother Zhao, sister-in-law Zhao, don't be too busy, come and sit down." Lu Xizhi comforted her.

Even if Lily betrayed the Lu family, the couple in front of them are outsiders who don't know anything. If they are too cruel and frighten them, it will be self-defeating.

Zhao Hu pulled his wife, trembling, and sat opposite the three of them restrainedly.

Lu Xizhi signaled Zhao Xuanwu to get straight to the point.

"Your name is Zhao Hu?" He spoke in a masculine voice again.

Zhao Hu stood up when he heard his name, "Yes, I'm Zhao Hu."

Lu Xizhi sighed helplessly, forget it, let them do it.

"Yesterday, the Yamen found a female corpse by the river in the suburbs. After Miss Lu identified it, it proved that the deceased was your sister, Zhao Yanzi."

"What?!" Zhao Hu was stunned.

"Swallow?" Mei Hua was also quite frightened, and sat there stiffly.

Zhao Xuanwu seemed to remember that he was here to report a funeral, and realized that he should tone down: "My condolences."

"Miss Lu San, is this... is this true?" Mei Hua seemed not to be afraid anymore, her voice became shrill, and she looked at Lu Xizhi with tears in her eyes.

Lu Xizhi sighed in his heart, and nodded slowly.

"No, no, how could it be a swallow?" Zhao Hu asked helplessly, and when Lu Xizhi answered affirmatively, he put his head in his hands and burst into tears.

Zhao Xuanwu and Lu Xizhi looked at each other, and decided to give the couple some time to calm down, while Wang Yuanzhi stood in the yard, not wanting to participate in their parting and sorrow.

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Xizhi interrupted their grief and asked softly, "Brother Zhao, when was the last time you saw Lily?"

Zhao Hu raised his head dully, with snot and tears still hanging on his chin, "Last time..." Obviously, he was in a trance and didn't hear Lu Xizhi's question.

"The day before Third Miss Lu came to our house, Lily went home. I didn't expect... that time it was a time of eternal separation." Mei Hua wept, choking on her sobs.

Zhao Hu seemed to have thought of something, and his expression was so excited that he wanted to eat people: "Miss Lu San, hasn't Yanzi been in Lu's house all the time? How did she die by the river? Did she make a mistake and you drove her out?" , She couldn't think about it for a while, so she threw herself into the river."

"Brother Zhao, calm down. I came here this time because I have something to tell. Please cooperate."

"Calm down? My sister and I have only known each other for a few months, and I haven't had time to enjoy the taste of family reunion in the future. She just disappeared. How can I calm down?"

Zhao Xuanwu said loudly: "Zhao Yanzi didn't commit suicide by throwing herself into the river, she was strangled to death, that's why this arrester came here."

When Zhao Hu heard that his sister had been murdered, the excitement just now turned into panic.

"Although Lily didn't commit suicide by throwing herself into the river, you were right about one thing just now. Her death was more or less related to the Lu family."

When Zhao Hu was provoked and yelled in the room just now, Wang Yuanzhi walked into the room fearing that Lu Xizhi would suffer. Hearing what Lu Xizhi said, he looked at her with some disapproval. According to the man's temperament, he might have to speak violently again.

"Sure enough, did you admit it? My sister worked hard in your Lu family to serve the master, and you even killed her! Even if I risked my life! I will sue you!" Zhao Hu was about to go out the door after finishing speaking. rush.

Zhao Xuanwu snorted coldly: "I am an official, who do you want to sue."

Meihua had stood up and chased after her husband when he rushed to the yard. Now that she heard what Zhao Xuanwu said, she quickly grabbed the man: "The head of the family, they are officials, and the Lu family is also an official. Where can we sue?" Go, uh..."

"Sister-in-law Meihua is right. Our Lu family is an official, but my father is an upright and good official. If someone harms him, I will fight for him just like you."

Zhao Hu and his wife looked over at the same time.

"And the person who hurt him, I will definitely not let go!"

Zhao Hu was startled,
"Miss Lu, what does this mean?"

"Lily did die because of the Lu family, but..."
