I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 41 Eccentricity
Lu Xizhi arrived home just in time for dinner, and Li Shi's maid, Lily, was guarding the door. The whole family was in the main yard with a tacit understanding today, anxiously waiting for the most worrying third girl to come back.

Lu Zhonglian had already walked back and forth in the corridor countless times, keeping his eyes fixed on the courtyard door, throwing off his sleeves several times and rushing to the door to go out. After a while, he came back with an annoyed sigh. torment.It's four o'clock, and my daughter hasn't come back yet, so I'm really anxious.

Not only him, but everyone else in the hall also felt bad. If something happened to a girl, or her identity was found out while helping to investigate the case, that would be...

"Hi! Father, mother, aunt, brother, sister, I'm back." Lu Xizhi's cheerful voice came.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Aunt Zheng got up and walked over, grabbed her arm and turned her around, "Zhi Zhi, how are you doing? Why did you come back at this time."

"Auntie, don't worry, I'm fine, hehe."

Lu Zhonglian's hanging heart finally let go, but seeing her playful and smiling face, he felt annoyed, dead boy, I'm waiting at home to smoke, you're fine, it doesn't matter, does it?

"You damn girl! Come here and stand up!" His first fist hit his daughter's forehead violently.

Lu Xizhi was unprepared, and immediately covered his forehead after being hit hard, and said unconvinced: "Ouch! Dad, you did it again!"

Not only trembling violently, but Lu Zhonglian was about to use his trump card - twisting his ears.

This time he was on guard, Lu Xizhi jumped and hid behind Zheng Yujing, and proudly made a face at him, stuck out his tongue at him, not afraid at all.

But he could hide from the first day of the junior high school, but he couldn't hide from the fifteenth day. Before the grimacing was finished, the back collar was lifted and flicked lightly, and he sat firmly on the stool.

Li Wenjun clapped his hands, pointed at her with satisfaction and said, "I haven't practiced for a long time, but one move is enough to deal with you."

Miscalculation, miscalculation, forgetting that there is a mother who practices martial arts at home.

Lu Xiruo who was beside her turned around and grabbed her hand, touched her little sister's face, shook her head helplessly, and said to her father: "Father, everyone must be hungry right now, let's eat first." "

Lu Ziyi also came over and pressed his sister's shoulder: "Yes, father, Xizhi came back intact. I must be tired from this day, let's eat quickly."

Angrily, Mr. Lu let out a "Huh!", walked back to the main seat and sat down, ordered the kitchen to serve the food quickly, and then began to ask about the day's affairs.

Criminal cases need to be kept secret until they are solved. Of course, Lu Xizhi omitted the important details of the case handling process and autopsy, but simply said that a family in the east of the city was burned to death, and there were two children. Season, pay attention to fire prevention.

Lu Xiruo was the least courageous, she gasped in fright at first hearing, "So many people died...it's too scary."

Several other women also seemed to be frightened, and they were chanting Amitabha Buddha, begging Buddha to bless them.

"They were all burned to death? But logically, they would definitely call for help. It's not too late at that time. It's really strange." Lu Ziyi asked suspiciously.

At this time, the food was served one after another. Lu Xizhi was so hungry that his saliva was about to flow out. Hearing what the elder brother said, he said while picking up the food, "It's really strange, so I need to check."

The daughter's eating behavior irritated Mr. Lu again, and scolded her with beard and stare: "You feed me well! What does this look like!"

Lu Xiruo kept picking up food for her, and told her to eat slowly, don't be reincarnated like that starving brat.

in two quarters of an hour
"belch……"

Lu Ziyi looked at the little sister, it was really funny, but when he caught sight of his father's face, his face turned livid, and he had no choice but to kick her under the table.

After receiving the signal, Lu Xizhi quickly straightened his back, lowered his eyes and said to the elders, "I've finished eating, father, mother, and aunt take it easy."

"After leaving duty today, someone stopped me on the road and led me to a different courtyard. Guess who it is?"

Everyone looked at him intently and shook their heads.

"Yuan Yanxi, Master Yuan, Lord Yuan Xiaohou..." Lu Zhonglian stared at Lu Xizhi with a half-smile.

Lu Xizhi said fearlessly, "Father, this is the same person."

A peanut whizzed over and hit Lu Xizhi's bright and clean forehead with precision, humming...it hurts!This is definitely going to be packed again!

Li Wenjun took a sip of tea as if nothing had happened, stroked her husband's sleeve, and signaled him to continue.

"Hmph, he told me that you are in charge of investigating the arson case, and you have to go to the East Factory to report the progress to him every day."

"My lord, it doesn't make sense. We're still a little girl. She has no ability to investigate the case. Besides, isn't there Dali Temple and Yamen?" Aunt Zheng confided.

Aunt Wang also echoed: "That's right, there's no reason to ask a young girl who hasn't left the court to investigate the case, the master can't agree."

Lu Ziyi silently came to his sister's side, patted her head, and said to her in a low voice: "You are so talented, you can actually make Master Yuan Xiaohou look up to you."

Lu Xizhi looked at him proudly, and raised his eyebrows, no matter how he looked at it, he seemed to be showing off.

"Huh! He also praised my daughter for being smart and clever, and she has a clear thinking in solving cases. She is a rare talent, and she should stand up to avenge justice for the people."

"Mr. Yuan Chang won the award, and I'm not that good, hee hee." The person who was praised touched his head and laughed 'modestly'.

Snapped!Lu Zhonglian clapped his palm hard.

Lu Xizhi was startled and jumped off the chair.

"Master, this matter needs to be discussed in the long term. Let's discuss it and then reply to the young master." Li Wenjun said truthfully.

"I'm afraid it's beyond our control. The young master also said that it is Da Jin's blessing that my daughter has the guidance and protection of a Bodhisattva. As for the girl's reputation we are worried about, he will try to cover it up."

"Bodhisattva guidance??" Li Wenjun was puzzled.

"Hehe, we have to ask our precious daughter! What kind of dream did you have!"

Lu Xizhi lowered her head, pinched the hem of her skirt with her hands, and said nothing.

"Tell me, are you dumb?" Lu Zhonglian urged her.

She had no choice but to tell her family about the made-up dream again.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Xisuo's breathing sound from her side. She turned around and took a peek, and found that the corners of her elder brother and second sister's mouths were cramped, and they looked uncomfortable. She gave them a sad look.

"Listen, listen, my old face is so red!!" Lu Zhonglian stared at her sarcastically.

until…

"Hahahahahaha... Unfortunately, I can't hold it anymore. You are a Bodhisattva who guides you very well." Lu Ziyi finally couldn't help laughing, gave her a thumbs up, and laughed at the same time as Lu Xiruo.

This family meeting broke up unhappy, but at any rate, thanks to Yuan Yanxi's appearance, Lu Xizhi was able to temporarily enter and leave freely in the case of arson.

Lu Xizhi wanted to ease the atmosphere, so before dawn the next day, she ran to Second Auntie's courtyard, begging her to teach her how to make a bowl of egg noodles, and then walked into the main courtyard with the first ray of sunshine in the morning to prepare Offer treasure.

However, Lu Zhonglian had already left the house.

It's still early before the on-duty time, and she knew that her father was avoiding her on purpose, and he was telling her that he was very angry.

Lu Xizhi put the noodles on the table in a lonely state, staring at the roses in the garden with blank eyes.

"Come?" Li Wenjun came out behind the curtain.

Lu Xizhi hummed lightly, came over in a hurry, only made one bowl, hesitating whether to give the noodles to his mother.

"Okay, let me eat it, you father and daughter are the same."

Li Wenjun approached her, took his daughter's little hand, sat down, and said earnestly: "Your father is just out of worry. Whether it is a murder case or an arson case, we parents are afraid, let alone a little girl like you. We really can't let go of such a dangerous thing. Don't blame your father. "

Lu Xizhi quickly shook Li's hand and shook her head: "Mother, I understand, I don't blame anyone, it's because my daughter is too impatient and reckless."

"Whether it's a real Bodhisattva or a fake Bodhisattva, mother can tell that you really like to solve the case. After this matter is over, let's talk to your father about it."

"Mother doesn't object?" Lu Xizhi looked at Li Wenjun with wide eyes.

"If someone else came to look for me, I still hesitate. However, Ziyi has a lot of approval for this little prince Yuan, and your father doesn't bother to associate with princelings, and you are solving cases for the common people. Don't worry, mother."

"Thank you mother." Lu Xizhi couldn't help but hugged her.

Li Wenjun patted her on the back: "Okay, eat something and go to work."

Wiping the corners of her eyes lightly, she nodded vigorously.

East Police Factory
Wang Yuanzhi took off his gloves, supported his waist and slowly stood up straight, exhaled tiredly, and walked slowly outside the door to welcome the morning sun.Rubbing the space between his eyebrows, he still felt that his chest was very tight.

"Far away."

Wang Yuanzhi saluted: "Mr. Yuan Chang."

"How many times have I said, just call me Yan Xi when there is no one else."

Wang Yuanzhi was noncommittal.

Yuan Yanxi was not an enthusiastic person either, and the two of them looked at the Chaoyang in the distance at the same time.

"After staying up all night, let's go to rest first."

"They should be here soon, and it's not too late to finish the results first."

"Mr. Yuan, breakfast is ready." Dong Hai's voice sounded.

Yuan Yanxi asked Wang Yuanzhi to eat with him, but Wang Yuanzhi refused because the smell on his body was too strong and he had to go back for a change of clothes.

"I'm afraid you will need to re-examine here at any time in the past two days. I will ask someone to tidy up your room for your convenience."

Wang Yuanzhi nodded, said something rude and went back first.

Looking at his back, the little marquis could not open his brows.

Everyone is here at all times
Wang Yuanzhi first explained the situation of the autopsy. In addition to repeating the general content of what he said to Lu Xizhi yesterday, there were new discoveries.

"Among the seven people, except for the man who fell in the east wing, the residues in the stomachs of the others are basically the same. They should have eaten dinner together. In addition, none of the seven people showed signs of poisoning. The cause of death is basically determined to be a knife. Injured to death, it is a very sharp knife."

"Can Wang Wuzuo judge what kind of knife it is?" Qi Yong asked.

"First of all, I ruled out the kitchen knife, because the kitchen knife is too wide, and it should be extremely difficult to attack." Wang Yuanzhi took out the ordinary kitchen knife he had prepared, and stood in front of Qi Yong and gestured behind him. Very uncomfortable.

After making the gesture, he went on to say: "I suspect it is a special sharpening knife for cutting bamboo or wood."

Lu Xizhi nodded and looked at Yuan Yanxi.

The other party didn't look at her, but asked Wang Yuanzhi instead: "Among all the dead, the eldest daughter Zhang Caixia suffered the least stab wound?"

"Yes, she was also the only deceased whose throat was not cut, and was only stabbed twice in the abdomen."

"Perhaps, it shows that the murderer still has a little affection for her, so the attack is the lightest." Qi Yong said.

"I can't rule out this possibility." Lu Xizhi turned around and asked Wang Yuanzhi, "Can you determine the order of their death?"

Wang Yuanzhi smiled: "I knew you would ask this, but one night is not enough time, so I can give you the answer tomorrow."

Lu Xizhi nodded.

"Come on, let's talk about what you found." Yuan Yanxi watched the interaction between the two of them coldly.

Qi Yong took over the conversation and said: "Fang Daqiang's father is Fang Tiegen, a blacksmith, and his mother is Liu Guihua. The husband and wife were very resistant to our visit. After asking for a long time, they didn't find out why. They were just crying. Said that since the son and daughter-in-law moved away, they have rarely seen each other, and they don't know what kind of enemies they have."

"The two grandsons are dead, so they have nothing to say?" Lu Xizhi couldn't help being a little angry.

"It's sad, but they keep quiet when asked about the situation. However, we did get some clues from one of their neighbors."

At that time, Yiming and I were going to have something to eat first, and we would come back later, when a fat man with a round face and a big mole on his face suddenly walked by the alley, and immediately asked us if we were the police investigating the case.

When he learned of our purpose, he began to chatter.

His name is Liu Fu, and he is also a blacksmith. He and Fang Tiegen sometimes work together, and he knows something about their family.

The Fang family once had a youngest son, but he died when he was seven years old. At that time, Fang Daqiang was nine years old. He took his younger brother to the lake to fish. For some reason, both of them fell into the water. Later, only one was rescued. The one is gone.

After this incident, for a long time, the Fang family husband and wife would fight against each other, saying why you survived and why not your younger brother. It was not until the child left home to study art at the age of 11 that things got better.

Yiming and I wondered, we are both our own children, why are we so partial?
Liu Fu said that when Fang Daqiang was born, Fang’s family was poor and could only entrust the child to his grandma. The couple came to the capital alone to find work. Later, they saved some money and set up a small shop to make a living. Life was better. When I got up, I wanted to pick up the child right away, but Liu Guihua was pregnant again, afraid that I would not have the energy to take care of him, so I delayed the matter.It was not until the youngest son was four years old that the six-year-old eldest son was taken to his side.

Both the husband and wife are very partial, but the boss is really good. He is very filial to his parents after returning from his studies. Before he got married, the boss did all the hard work in the family. The couple didn't care about his sarcastic remarks. All the money earned was handed over to them.

At the end, Liu Fu also said that this boss is really suffering. It is a pity that he finally got married and gave birth to two fat boys, but he was caught in a fire again.

"Huh? Didn't the neighbors say yesterday that Fang Daqiang was doing manual labor? Why did he learn art? What art?" Lu Xizhi's memory is very good.

"Liu Fu said that Fang Daqiang was introverted, he didn't talk much when he saw people, and his parents didn't care about him, so he didn't know." Qi Yong replied.

Lu Xizhi thought for a while, and asked Yuan Yanxi for instructions: "Mr. Yuan, the Fang couple were very uncooperative yesterday, why don't you go with me today, women should be easy to talk to."

Yuan Yanxi looked at her fixedly, "Miss Lu, are you sure?"

"Have!"

　Today, the two updates are merged into one update, and you can eat fat and delicious!
　　I am a hardworking little bee.
