I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 175 I have someone I like

"He is back." Lu Zhonglian walked over affectionately, and took a closer look at his daughter, "Our family is getting better and better... No wonder, haha."

Lu Xizhi didn't know what his father was laughing at, so he passed him, went straight to the table, picked up an apple and started to eat it.

"Mother, what's wrong with Father?"

Li Wenjun shook his head helplessly, and tapped her head lightly with his finger, "It's not big or small, wait for your aunt to come, let's have dinner together."

Looking at the table full of dishes, and the face of his father who kept smiling at her, Lu Xizhi thought... how does this look like a grand banquet?
After a while, Zheng Yujing came over.

He said hello to his aunt, "Mother, where are my brother and sister?" She asked carefully.

Lu Zhonglian picked up a piece of meat for her: "They are eating in their own courtyard, quickly try this braised pork, if you don't come back, I'll eat it all."

"It's braised pork, it's lion's head, and it's rose cake... Your monthly salary has increased a lot since you were promoted, dad?"

"This kid, it's like I gave you less meat when you didn't get a raise." Lu Zhonglian glared at her.

"Let's talk, you have nothing to do to show your affection...it's not..."

Tsk, brat!
Lu Zhonglian shuddered as he stretched out his hand, "It's not over, I'll let you come over for a meal, suspicious of this and that."

"Don't be so hands-on, can't you, he's a police officer now, can you be someone with official authority?" Lu Xizhi rubbed his forehead.

Lu Zhonglian couldn't hold it back and choked: "Cough cough cough..."

"Guanwei? Don't make me laugh. I'm just a errand and handyman. Is there a rank? Let's put it this way, I'm a fifth rank, you're going to salute me when you see me!"

Lu Xizhi: ...

That's what I said, but people also want to save face, okay?

She stared at her father, still holding a piece of meat in her grumbling mouth.

Li Wenjun said: "Okay, you two! You are both old and young, just like a child." He also quietly kicked his husband.

Lu Zhonglian stopped talking after receiving the secret signal.

Glancing at his wife, Li Wenjun sneered at him, Lu Zhonglian touched his nose, and Aunt Zheng seemed to feel something was wrong, so she stopped her chopsticks.

"Well...in a few days, I'll take a rest, and our family will go out to have fun." After finishing speaking, he didn't even look at Lu Xizhi, and just put food into his mouth.

"Where are you going?" Lu Xizhi was curious.

"Just... a cruise, outing on Qinghu Lake or something."

"A cruise again?"

Lu Zhonglian hurriedly said: "The cruise is great, the scenery is beautiful, let's get some side dishes and snacks, let's ask the boat boss to park the boat in the middle of the lake, enjoy the spring breeze, and drink a pot of good wine, isn't it very pleasant?"

Lu Xizhi looked at his father and then at his mother, they were winking, thinking she couldn't see?

"What's the matter!" She put down the bowl and chopsticks.

after a while

"Blind date?" Lu Xizhi thought he heard it wrong, "You want me to go on a blind date??"

When the matter of marriage was mentioned, Aunt Zheng's attention was immediately attracted, and she said with a smile: "Isn't that right? After all, after the Liao family incident, it's time to say kiss."

"Are you so surprised?" Lu Zhonglian also put down the bowl and chopsticks, "If it weren't for the Liao family who killed a thousand swords, you would have already been married by now, and we are about to have grandchildren."

Li Wenjun said at the right time, "cough cough cough..."

"I'm not going! I'm only fifteen."

He couldn't help but get angry: "Excuse me, look at the whole capital, as long as there is nothing wrong with it, how many can you count if you haven't kissed at the fifteenth?"

"That's them! I'm me, I'm not going."

"Hey, you stinky girl..."

Seeing that Lu Zhonglian was about to commit a crime again, Li Wenjun changed his method and said quickly: "He has an idea, why don't we first ask, what kind of man do you like?"

Aunt Zheng's eyes were also full of eagerness, as if she wanted to find a good husband for her precious daughter immediately!

Seeing that Lu Xizhi didn't respond, Li Wenjun took up the conversation very naturally: "Actually, I met Jingjing a few days ago, she said that she made an appointment for Chuchu, and naturally mentioned you while chatting, so, today is also the same. I want to test your tone first, don't I?" Then he pinched her a lion's head.

Lin Chuchu also just turned fifteen, a woman with such a beautiful appearance and outstanding poetic talent, in terms of her background, appearance, and talents, she is also considered to be one of the first few people in the elite circle of the capital. fate.

He smiled and said, "How is it? There are only four of us today, why don't you tell your mother?"

"Oh, I just like to solve cases, I don't have time to think about those." Lu Xizhi said awkwardly thinking of Yuan Yanxi.

However, the three adults misunderstood her expression and thought she was just shy.

Zheng Yujing said: "Well, there is nothing to be shy about. The master and wife are the most considerate of their children, and they are also the most enlightened. They will not let you marry blindly. When you marry, of course you have to marry someone you like."

"There are many outstanding young masters in the capital, do you like any of them?"

There were no outsiders around, so Li Wenjun told the young masters of the right age one by one:
"Zhang Yuan's family also has a young master, who is handsome and talented; the son of Zheng Lang's family is a general, and his swordsmanship is superb; there is also my natal sister-in-law's nephew, it would be best to be closer; Ye Lang's family My young master is a little older, already nineteen years old, but he is considered a match; by the way, the child of the Lin family, Lifeng, who played with you since childhood, do you remember? It’s time for him to say goodbye, you The two are childhood sweethearts..."

What the mother said casually were all children of the right family.

But Lu Xizhi couldn't bear to hear it, raised her eyebrows slightly, and interrupted her: "Mother, don't mention them."

This is not yet enlightened! ?
Li Wenjun was not annoyed, and coaxed with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't mention it if you don't want to mention it, then tell me what you like, and mother will definitely choose the best one for you."

Lu Xizhi blushed, I've already met the best one in the world, that handsome, evil, cold and arrogant man flashed in her mind again, and her heart felt hot.

"Why, there is something you like here?" Seeing her blushing, Aunt Zheng asked in surprise.

"Oh, no, please forgive me, I have to go back and think about the case." Lu Xizhi covered his ears.

"Why is it so hard to talk to you?" The father is no longer used to it, he said concisely: "Today you must tell me someone, otherwise Xiumu will call the Lin family out that day, you Cooperate well with me."

Lin?Lin Lifeng?

"Oh... so you have already decided, the Lin family is the focus." Lu Xizhi jumped up.

She and Lin Lifeng had just met each other, and word spread to the parents so quickly that no one did it on purpose, and she wouldn't believe it if she was killed.

"I really don't know what the Lin family likes about you. They just treat you like nothing serious, big or small. I don't want to throw it at me."

"The Lin family has a crush on me? I... I don't even have a crush on them!" Lu Xizhi rushed out, and finally said flatly: "Don't worry about it, I already have someone I like! If you mess up the mandarin ducks, I will run away from home!"

! !
I have someone I like!

The three elders looked at me and I looked at you, and it took a long time to recover.

Lu Zhonglian: "Ah? Did I hear you right, the stinky girl said you have someone you like?"

"Yeah, this... she goes out early and returns late every day to investigate the case, who does she like?"

Aunt Zheng was even more puzzled, guessing: "One of them stays with the group of arresters all day long, could it be...couldn't it be one of them?"

Lu Zhonglian patted the table: "How can I do that! Absolutely not, I have to ask her to clarify." After speaking, he was going to arrest people.

"Hey, she must be angry. How can she say it? I don't think it will be so insignificant. Let's stop guessing."

"No, tomorrow I have to send someone to follow and see which bastard it is."

Yuan Yanxi, who had just returned to Hou Mansion and was about to read the file, sneezed suddenly.

He was busy in the palace for most of the day, and he didn't go home until it was dark. After having dinner with his parents, he went back to the courtyard.

The man in charge of the mansion, Old Wen, greeted him with a smile, and he could tell at a glance that he was in a good mood: "Young master, why are you in such a good mood today?"

Yuan Yanxi pursed her lips and smiled lightly, remembering the tenderness she had with Lu Xizhi yesterday, a smile and narrowness flashed in her eyes: "It's really good."

It seemed that he couldn't wait to go to the Lu family to propose marriage.

Early the next morning, Lu Xizhi took Beixue and Qi Yong to Xianglianju in the western suburbs, and she wanted to ask for some details.

The once orderly, quiet and tidy "Xianglianju" has become a complete mess. When Lu Xizhi and the others arrived, it was supposed to be normal class time, but judging from the notice posted outside the embroidery workshop, it was time to clean up the flowers and plants in the garden. In name, Xianglianju will suspend classes from today, and we don't know when classes will resume.

There were a lot of carriages parked at the door, presumably the parents had heard about what happened in the workshop, besides coming to get back the utensils, they also came to watch the excitement with curiosity.In addition to them, there are two familiar figures. It seems that the successive disappearances and "suicide" cases have spread completely, and this noble school has been pushed to the forefront.

Lu Xizhi and the others avoided Lian Shen and his guards, walked around to the back door and entered the school smoothly.

Wang Hehe didn't have time to talk to them at the moment, so Lu Xizhi had to find the steward Qin who usually manages the embroidery workshop through Lin Chuchu, and explained his intention of coming.

Manager Qin was in a difficult situation, and Lu Xizhi threatened him with some serious words, so he agreed to find a few female workers who usually work with Bilian to be interrogated. However, he also requested that when they interrogated, he must also be by the side. , Lu Xizhi agreed.

There were four female workers in total, except for Qingyu, the other two were a little timid, and only one was a little calm. Lu Xizhi deliberately put the two timid ones in front for questioning, and finally it was the main target's turn.

"I know that the experience of these two days has really given you enough, but I hope you can carefully recall some situations before Bilian disappeared. Your name is Biyu, right? I heard that you and Bilian entered Xianglianju at the same time, so Wang Hehe gave you almost the same names. Have you noticed anything different from usual?"

Biyu looked at her, shook her head, and said, "I don't even know when she left."

She speaks very fast, like a bean jumper, of medium height, with her hair pulled back, her eyes are small, but dark and bright, with an oval face, she is a very neat girl.

"The night before Bilian left, did you hear anything?" Lu Xizhi asked broadly.

"No," Biyu replied quickly.

Lu Xizhi tried to be more kind, and asked softly, "When did you go to sleep?"

"Well, it was about three o'clock in Xu o'clock, when we rested almost at that time. Bilian drank a bowl of tranquilizing medicine, and she was about a quarter of an hour behind us..."

"Soothing medicine?" Qi Yong asked back.

Biyu nodded, and said in a soft voice: "Well, she couldn't sleep well in those days. She said she kept having nightmares, so she went out and grabbed a few medicines, and Aunt Li in the kitchen boiled them down, and went to drink them before going to bed. .”

"Oh, what about you, did you sleep well that night?"

Biyu was a little embarrassed, and said: "I can fall asleep as soon as I touch the pillow every day, and I can't wake it up...They used to laugh at me too."

Lu Xizhi nodded, and then asked, "Do you have a good relationship with Bilian? Do you know why she was in a bad mood a while ago?"

"I have a normal relationship with her." She still answered so quickly.

Maybe because she realized that she was speaking too fast, Biyu raised her head a little nervously, and saw Guanshi Qin who was sitting on the side as if facing an enemy all the time, and smiled stiffly with the corners of her mouth pulled. The atmosphere in the room was a bit dignified.

"The morning before yesterday, when did you get up?" Lu Xizhi asked casually.

Biyu didn't answer right away this time, but turned to look at Guanshi Qin, then hesitated, and said, "I don't remember the exact time, anyway, when I got up, Bilian's bed was already empty, I was thinking of her I already went to have breakfast, so I woke up the two of them, and then went to the kitchen together."

Lu Xizhi winked at Beixue, expressing that he could let them go.

When the three girls stood up and were about to leave, Lu Xizhi seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked casually, "You usually live in the worker's room, do you lock the door at night?"

"Of course it's locked." Biyu replied.

"It was also locked the day before yesterday?"

"It's locked, I locked it before going to bed." It was still Jasper who returned.

"Oh, then other people also have this habit?" Lu Xizhi deliberately asked some irrelevant topics.

After they left, Lu Xizhi said with certainty, "Biyu is lying."

Qi Yong said: "Lu Ji, just now Biyu mentioned that Aunt Li would boil medicine for Bilian every day, which means that Bilian and Aunt Li have a good relationship. Now that she has been killed, do you think this has something to do with Bilian's disappearance?" , does it matter?"

Lu Xizhi laughed and said, "Catcher Qi noticed it soon."

"Yes, I think that Aunt Li's death must be related to Bilian's disappearance. After we go back, we need to analyze the two cases from the beginning. Yuan Zhi should have finished the comparison and analysis of the belt, and we can listen to him. As a result, it will be possible to determine whether the deceased in the skinning case the night before yesterday was actually Bilian."
