I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 208
"Since you killed Aunt Li and poisoned Wang Hehe, you must have known about the messy pickling in Xianglianju, and you must have found out...Mr. Yu, right?"

Lu Xizhi thought about this problem carefully, but she couldn't figure out how a little old man who was hidden in the filthy street department found Xianglianju by following the line.

Also, what he said just now resembles an old acquaintance of his, who is that old acquaintance?

She asked the question in her heart: "Old Baitou, who are you?"

There was a glint of darkness in the old white head's eyes, he stared at Lu Xizhi fiercely, and clenched his hands into fists, it seemed that if Lu Xizhi wanted to speak again, he would kill him with one blow.

Lu Xizhi said: "You know martial arts, and you also have a red-tasseled gun used by soldiers in the army, which means that you have served in the army. It stands to reason that you should have retired for a long time at your age, but your gun has been polished very well. , as new, it means that you usually take good care of it, and you are proud of that period of military career."

"As far as I know, all soldiers who have fought and seen blood and experienced life and death, when they reach the age of returning to their hometowns, wish to stay away from the crowd, away from the capital, and go to a quiet place to retire, but why did you choose to stay in the dark tide? Surging, right and wrong capital?"

"Also, soldiers who retire and return to their hometowns can get a lot of alimony. You could marry a wife and have children and start a comfortable life for the rest of your life, but why do you live in such a street office and pick shit every day? Woolen cloth?"

"In the end, there is only one answer, who are you hiding from, and as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is also the safest place, so you stayed in the seemingly most dangerous capital city, and hid in an ugly place. An eye-catching street division."

"Your past identity must have a story."

Old Baitou turned his back, picked up the gun, and caressed the red tassel at the end of the gun...

Beixue glanced over with sharp eyes, shook her head, and squinted her eyes to focus on the past, she was stunned immediately, with an expression of disbelief on her face.

"That... that is..." She pointed at the red-tasseled gun, speechless.

Lu Xizhi tilted his head to look at her, hoping she could speak out.

"That's the Xiao Family Army's gun." Afraid of misreading it, Bei Xue took two steps closer and stared at the tip of the gun, "That's right, this is the Xiao Family Army's red-tasseled gun! At the bottom of each gun head, there is a striking 'Xiao' 'Character."

Lu Xizhi didn't speak after listening, because she knew that Bei Xue would continue talking.

Sure enough, Bei Xue shook her head again: "Impossible, after General Xiao Nansheng fell off the cliff, the emperor appointed Chang Chonghu to set up a special team to clear out the Xiao family's cronies, and not allow any of the Xiao family's troops to step into the capital. At that time, Chang Zhonghu searched for a full year, and finally found no traces related to the Xiao family in the capital. How did you escape the search?"

The old white head snorted coldly, but he still didn't speak, and continued to wipe the red tasseled gun.

Bei Xue suddenly paused, and then continued in an unbelievable low voice: "I remembered that Chang Chonghu had a close friend at that time, who seemed to be called Wang Wu, who disappeared on a certain day during the investigation, and no one can explain clearly until now. How did he disappear, but no matter what the situation is, it is obvious that he must have found something. Not long after he disappeared, several people in the team disappeared one after another, but the next day he was able to find something in the woods. Their bodies were found intact, as if they were in a deep sleep, and no cause of death could be found. It was not until one month later that they slowly returned to normal. And these disappearance cases have disappeared..."

Bei Xue said in an unbelievable tone, "Could it be all..."

"Hmph! Those people are idiots!" The old white head snorted coldly.

"So, you belong to General Xiao."

"Shut up!" Old Baitou suddenly turned around and pointed his gun at them.

Bei Xue immediately stood in front of Lu Xizhi, and also put on a posture of responding to the enemy.

"You dog emperor's lackeys! You don't deserve to be mentioned as a general!" As he spoke, he brandished his red-tasseled spear and charged directly at Lu Xizhi's face.

Bei Xue reacted quickly, and the two began to fight back and forth.

Lu Xizhi retreated to the side, watching anxiously, and did not forget to tell Bei Xue: "Bei Xue, don't hurt the old man."

After all, time is not forgiving, after a few rounds, the old man panted heavily, and the speed of the attack slowed down. Beixue saw the right time, dodged, snatched the weapon from the old man's hand, and circled behind him , helped the old white head to cushion without any trace, and the two slowly stood still.

"Cough cough cough..." Old Baitou supported the wall, coughing unceasingly.

Lu Xizhi hurriedly took the tea and wanted to pass it to him.

But just as he stretched out his hand halfway, it was overturned by the old white head.

"Kang lang..." The teacup shattered in response.

Bei Xue couldn't help being angry, "You..." Don't be stopped by Lu Xizhi before you can say a few words.

"Old Baitou, I'm the editor of Dongchang now. My boss is Yuan Yanxi, the governor of Yuan Factory. His father is Yuan Renjie, Marquis of Zhenyuan. You should know him, right?"

The old white head caressed his chest and looked over, "Marquis Zhenyuan?"

Lu Xizhi knew that he had made the right bet.

"Yes, his father is Marquis Zhenyuan, the only one who supported General Xiao Nansheng back then!"
