I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 27 Fox Tail
The movements between Lu Xizhi and Zhao Xuanwu naturally couldn't escape Dongchang's eyes, every move was brought to Yuan Yanxi's ears.

Inside the main hall of Dongji Incident Factory

Four guards in neat black outfits were waiting to be dealt with.

"Woman?" The handsome man sitting at the top asked coldly.

"Yes, that woman claims to be the third girl of the Lu family, and she is the sneaky woman that I met in Lingshu Building." The one who spoke was Dong Hai who appeared in the Yamen last time.

"Which Lu family?"

"Member of the household department, Lu Zhonglian, a foreigner."

Lu Zhonglian?
Yuan Yanxi quickly went through the officials above the sixth rank in the household department in his mind, and finally got a little impression.That middle-aged man who is always cheerful when he sees people, smiles all day long, often wears a small black official hat on his head, has a strong body, likes to walk with his hands behind his back, and asks everyone if he has eaten?A harmless look.

"The factory supervisor, looking at them, seems to think that the murderer is someone else."

The corners of Yuan Yanxi's mouth pulled down, and he rubbed the center of his brows. For Lu San who suddenly appeared, he had other plans in mind.

Donghai saw that he had a headache again, so he was concerned and asked if he wanted to call the imperial doctor, but Yuan Yanxi dismissed him with a wave of his hand.

"What's going on at Dali Temple?"

Dong Hai hurriedly answered: "Sure enough, as the factory supervisor expected, the spies sent came back and informed that Lian Shen went to Shangshu's mansion that day."

"Hmph, it's not worth mentioning to be in power." Yuan Yanxi shrugged, leaned his head on the back of the chair, stretched out his hand and summoned a little eunuch to rub his temples.

Then he asked again: "Xifeng, what's happening in the Aria Tower recently?"

"Reporting to the factory supervisor, the Ancestral Building has been unusually quiet recently, and no one has even entered or exited for three days. Chang Renxin and Fan Ming have not gone out either."

When things go wrong, there must be a demon. Now that the serial murder case involves those three people, it must have left them at their wits' end. With Dongchang's intervention, they must have smelled something... "There is a prey, and they will definitely show their feet. Xifeng and Nanyang continue to guard the snake nest ①, if something goes wrong, they can take them down at any time!" Yuan Yanxi said in a cold tone.

Then he ordered the remaining two people: "Donghai, bring people tonight, be sure to keep an eye on Zhao Xuanwu and his party, and Beixue will immediately go and find out the details of the Lu family, especially Lu San!"

"Yes!" The four of them led the order and disappeared without a trace after a few vertical jumps.

Hung Shun House

According to the news that Shen Baoquan hurriedly brought back, Fan Ming went out before the time of application came today, and he quietly followed Fan Ming and his servant to Chang Shangshu's house. Hongshun Building.So he hurried back to report to Zhao Xuanwu, while Zhao Datian and Dahe stayed and continued to monitor.

As soon as they arrived at Hongshun Tower, the torrential rain came one after another, cascading down like a waterfall.

Zhao Xuanwu paid for a private room next to the three of them, and as soon as they sat down, Lu Xizhi stared at him adoringly.

"Zhao Butou, you are too polite. Hehe, this private room is not cheap. I heard that there are exquisite snacks for you to spend. I am really embarrassed."

Qi Yong held back his laughter, while Wang Yuanzhi shook his head helplessly.

Zhao Xuanwu put on a serious expression, and said calmly: "Dali Temple will give us ten taels of silver every month as monthly silver for daily maintenance."

Yo, there is quite a lot of funds for this event, she tentatively asked: "Then... can we really have a good meal tonight?"

"Miss Lu, do you know how dangerous what you are going to do is? Although we already have the prototype of a murderer, what if... I am really following you with my head up."

Of course Lu Xizhi knew that Zhao Xuanwu was worried about him, not only him, everyone in the yamen was sweating.Didn't she just want them to relax a little bit?

"Zhao Butou, please trust me, I will be extremely careful. Besides, we are prepared, I trust you!"

"Miss Lu, this is tear gas powder. The secret weapon of self-defense taught to me by my master before his death. When in danger, just spray it forcefully at the enemy's eyes."

Lu Xizhi took a small paper package from Wang Yuanzhi, and just sniffed it a little closer. Emma... choked her so much that she coughed, her tears burst into tears, and she couldn't stop her runny nose. Be good, the medicine is really strong.Zhang Yu, the predecessor, really taught this apprentice all he had learned in his life. Fortunately, Wang Yuanzhi did not disappoint her, and she was able to rest in peace.

"Hush!" Qi Yong heard the movement next door with sharp ears, signaling them to be quiet.

The ancients were really amazing, not only had good martial arts, but even the five senses of the human body were extremely keen.Lu Xizhi had no choice but to stick his ear to the partition wall alone and start investigating.

"Mr. Liao is really high-spirited today. Did you come prepared?" Chang Renxin said in his usual gentle and cold voice.

"How can it compare to Mr. Chang, Liao is just a green leaf, why don't you see Mr. Wei?" The voice was Liao Chenlin.

Lu Xizhi never thought that he would push Liao Chenlin as the murderer. It was only when he first met him in Lingshulou, when he asked her if she knew Fan Shizi, that Lu Xizhi became suspicious of him.If he was just passing by, how could he accurately name the owner of the private room, so not only did he know Fan Ming, he should also be familiar with them, and he also went to look for them that day, so he must have participated in Hongshun Tower.Next, it was speculated that he had appeared on the day of Mrs. Lin's flower banquet and committed the crime. Finally, considering that he had time to commit crimes during the two incidents, she intuitively told her that Liao Chenlin had something to do with the case.As for the motive of committing the crime, it is not yet clear, so this trial is extremely important.

There was the sound of the door opening from the next door, a loud voice: "I'm late." It was Wei Buyi.

"Chongguang came late, could it be that some young lady grabbed her clothes?" Fan Ming teased.

"Hey, who dares to tear off my young master's clothes? I'll chop off my hands!"

"Why are you so angry today? If it wasn't for being held back by the little lady, it could be that he was being scolded by Lord Hou again." Chang Renxin asked.

"Huh, you are very clear! Let me ask you, why did the sign I lent you fall by the moat? It happened to be the place where the dead were found! I was punished by my father!"

Chang Renxin and Fan Ming glanced at each other, but did not answer. Liao Chenlin saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he stood up quickly, made a cup of tea for Wei Buyi, and said that it was Wei Shizi's favorite top-quality Dahongpao, which was specially brought back from Fujian Province. Let him drink to calm down.

Wei Buyi saw that there was something wrong between the two of them, and patted the table with a 'slap', "Are you guys hiding something from me?"

Chang Renxin put away his fan, stood up and walked to Wei Buyi, "Chongguang, I was really wronged, you gave me that brand, I was useless at all, I was drunk that night, and Ziyu brought two more The girl went on a cruise, but she was ripped off by someone who suffered thousands of knives. I really didn’t dare to tell you, I sent someone to look for it, but I haven’t found it yet, and I never wanted to be one step ahead of Lord Hou.”

"What a coincidence?? Do you know that a naked woman was found dead by the river this morning?"

"There is such a thing?" Fan Ming's voice seemed to be taken aback.

"Lian Shen, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, handed the sign back to my father at noon today, and asked a lot of questions. Thanks to my father, who said that I have been at home for the past two days, and I accidentally left something behind, he suppressed this matter. Mom owes me a meal!"

Chang Renxin hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Chongguang has been wronged. I will treat you this time, and I will ask the most beautiful maid to make tea for you." He hurriedly gave instructions to the outside.

"Come on, call the shopkeeper over."

The store didn't dare to neglect the three ancestors, the shopkeeper immediately ran up, nodded and bowed and asked them what orders they had.

Chang Ren Xin arrogantly ordered a large table of dishes, fine wine, and ordered two maids to serve him.

Lu Xizhi was drooling while listening, his stomach was so hungry, there was only the raw fried buns in his stomach, which had already been digested by now.

Look at the few people in the room, and finally put the leader who controls the funds for handling the case on him.

Lu Xizhi used his special skill, blinked his big eyes twice: "Captain Zhao, let's order a bowl of noodles."

Zhao Xuanwu was still thinking about the news he heard just now, and was stunned for a moment when he was suddenly called out.

Yo, isn't that right, the big men are alright, and Miss Lu has nothing to do with the whole matter, even if she followed them in a shameful manner, she has done them a big favor, so don't be wronged.Winking to Qi Yong, he went out and ordered the waiter in a low voice, and ordered four dishes, one soup, and a big bowl of rice.

While waiting for the food to be served, the private room next door started their usual way of getting along with each other. Lu Xizhi secretly rolled countless eyes, twitched his lips, walked back to the table and sat down, and asked what he had just said. Everyone is so and so.

Zhao Xuanwu and Qi Yong are martial arts practitioners, and they are not surprised by that kind of dialogue between men, but now there is a little girl beside them, so the scene is unavoidably awkward.

Wang Yuanzhi coughed twice, and said in a low voice, "A woman's body was found by the river this morning? Why didn't the yamen receive any report?"

Zhao Xuanwu began to wonder just now, "It's really strange. Could it be that the person who reported to the official went directly to Dali Temple?"

"Or, someone directly notified Dali Temple, and they took advantage of the situation to hide it." Lu Xizhi said to himself.

Then this is not...

The four of them looked at each other, they were all a little frightened, Lu Xizhi covered his mouth, it's not good, one more thing is worse than one less thing, they didn't come here for this.

Hearing the voice of the waiter outside the private room preparing to serve food, Lu Xizhi knew that the opportunity had come.

Several people got up quickly, Qi Yong and Zhao Xuanwu stood by the door of the private room one after another, Qi Yong looked at the situation in the corridor, confirmed that nothing was wrong, and nodded to her.

Lu Xizhi stroked the wrinkles on his body, straightened his hair, took a deep breath, and walked out of the private room.

Seeing the right time, Lu Xizhi was about to approach the box next door, pretending to accidentally knock down the dinner plate on the little second hand who was about to deliver food in.

"Oh!" she exclaimed.

The waiter hurriedly apologized,
At this time, a person walked out of the private room, presumably to see what happened.

"Miss Lu!?"

It was Liao Chenlin who came, and it was easy for Lu Xizhi to call.

Lu Xizhi pretended to be surprised: "Young Master Liao?!" Taking the opportunity to walk into the room, the light could be seen clearly, and from the corner of his eye, he saw three people in the room also looking at her.

Liao Chenlin saw that she was indeed stunned, and when he took a closer look, his fist clenched for an instant, and asked her in a tense tone, did she come to eat with friends?
"Exactly, I wanted to go out to sober up, but it was raining too much outside, so I had to come back. I accidentally bumped into Xiaoer and hurt your food...I'm really sorry." Lu Xizhi was very polite.

"Haha, it's okay to be okay, it's just a piece of cake, dare to ask the girl's name?"

Lu Xizhi remembered that this was the wretched man who had spoken rudely to him in the listening library that day, that is, Wei Buyi.Now that he had made his appearance in front of everyone, Lu Xizhi didn't want to get entangled with any of them, and was ready to retreat.

She bowed her knees and gave a slight salute, and walked over the waiter to her private room, but she didn't want Wei Buyi to step on the corner of her skirt.

In Lu Xizhi's heart, tens of thousands of grass and mud horses ran past, greeting every relative in his family, holding his temper, steadying his voice, and said calmly: "Please be merciful, my son, my little girl's parents and brothers are waiting for me, please respect yourself."

"Chongguang! Come back!" Chang Renxin stopped Wei Buyi.

Wei Shizi felt a little resentful, walked back to the room without interest.Liao Chenlin didn't seem to want to talk too much, so he cupped his fists at Lu Xizhi to express his apology, and also retreated.

Lu Xizhi quickly walked back to the box, and only then took a deep breath, and almost collapsed by the table, of course she was afraid.

She never thought that just because she came from modern times, she could fight for the imperial power alone, and the other party could trample their whole family like ants, so she never thought about self-declaration.Lu Xizhi's bet was that they would not use power to overwhelm others in public places. If they really wanted to do something to her, Zhao Xuanwu would do it in time. Fortunately, everything was under control.

"Miss Lu, take a sip of tea to calm down the shock." Zhao Xuanwu admired this girl's wit and bravery.

Lu Xizhi gulped down a big mouthful of tea to dilute the panic in his heart. He looked up at them in embarrassment.

"Zhao Butou, Qi Yong and I were ready to rush out to make a rescue just now. Even if the plan fails, you can't be insulted. I never thought about it, but you politely explained it. I have to say that you really impress us now, and even more so. No one will laugh at you." Wang Yuanzhi said calmly.

Zhao Xuanwu and Qi Yong followed suit and nodded without saying a word.

Suddenly, Wei Buyi's applause came from the next door: "Young Master Liao is really good at drinking, haha, I like to talk to straightforward people."

"Chen Lin seems to be in a very good mood today, and his drinking capacity has improved." Fan Ming asked the servant girl to fill up the wine for everyone.

"Mr. Chang, Mr. Fan, Mr. Wei, tomorrow I will go to Yunzhou with my father to buy goods. I will take my leave first. I will punish myself with three cups to express my apology. Let's meet again at another day."

At this time, it is five o'clock in the morning!When the four people next door heard Liao Chenlin's farewell, it was as if they had been stimulant, the fox was about to show its tail!
