I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 42 He is not my man
"Miss Lu, wait a moment, and listen to my subordinates' inquiries about their return. It's not too late to go." Yuan Yanxi nodded towards Nanyang.

Nanyang said: "We asked five miscellaneous shops in the city, and no one has bought a large amount of lamp oil recently. The largest one is a family surnamed Liu in the west of the city. Because there is a funeral at home, they need to supply long-burning lamps. None of the shops have bought a large amount of lamp oil. Records and impressions of multiple purchases by the same person.

There are also four members of the Zhang family. Zhang Qingyou's carpenter skills are not bad, and there are many people looking for him to do work. According to the neighbors, they haven't seen anyone come to their door to have any quarrels with them for so many years, but there was one time when Li Fengzhen paid less because of the shopkeeper. She had a dispute about two taels of sesame oil, and we found the picker. He went to visit relatives on the night of the incident, and several witnesses confirmed it.

Zhang Caiyu was born with a handicapped leg and suffered a lot of stares. She is timid and afraid, and rarely goes out. The neighbors don't know her well, and they only say that the girl is pitiful.

The last one is Zhang Caixia. She is also the one who earns money for the family besides Zhang Qingyou. She has been working as a maid for others in the past few years, but she suddenly quit her job and returned home about three years ago, saying that she wanted to get married. In the end, they only saw each other twice, and they hurriedly settled down with Fang Daqiang.Zhang Caixia is beautiful, outgoing, and has worked as a maid in a wealthy family. They thought she would at least be a concubine or something, and finally married Fang Daqiang. Many neighbors were very surprised. What we found out was So many. "

Lu Xizhi asked, "Which family does Zhang Caixia work in?"

"The Yang family, Yang Gongcheng, the owner of the 'Yueyuan Inn' in the city."

"She came back from the Yang family to quit her job and got married in a hurry. It's a bit weird. I think we should send someone to the Yang family to find out why." Lu Xizhi proposed.

"Well, I also think this clue is very important. Nanyang, today you continue to follow this line."

"Yes!"

Yuan Yanxi looked around at the crowd and ordered: "Qi Yong will lead people to guard the scene of the crime today to see if there are any suspicious people staying."

"Wang Wuzuo go to rest, get up and continue."

Wang Yuanzhi nodded and followed Donghai.

"Mr. Yuan, then I'll go back and change my clothes, and then go to Fang's house."

However, Yuan Yanxi said nothing surprising: "I will go with Miss Lu."

Until he got into the carriage, Lu Xizhi was still in a dazed state, not understanding why he was sitting in the same carriage with the famous Factory Supervisor Yuan.

He changed out of the dazzling red clothes and wore a plain robe, and his hair was tied up in a bun. Compared with the unrestrained before, he is now a little more elegant and extravagant, but his eyes are hidden There was still a hint of imperceptible coldness in the city mansion, and it still had the expression that strangers should not enter.

And the dignified factory governor Yuan's carriage has a spacious space, and the interior is low-key but luxurious.The cushions under the buttocks are made of high-quality animal fur, and there is a soft sleeper; there is a small cabinet in the middle, and Lu Xizhi dare not look there, for fear that a confidential document will accidentally float out of it. Life will be lost.

Even though he was sitting in a luxury car that was tens of thousands of times stronger than the carriage he hired, Lu Xizhi felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles, and his back was chilling. Not only did he feel that the space was cramped, but he was also breathless.

"Miss Lu is cold?" Yuan Yanxi looked at her calmly, the little girl's nose was glistening with sweat, and her bright red lips were trembling.

Lu Xizhi looked at the crochet flowers on the window edge uncomfortably, and shook her head.

She was about to die of heat, Yuan Yanxi sat opposite her, looking back and forth across her face.It's not like she hasn't seen a handsome man before, but this one in front of her feels like a hunting wolf king in the animal world, with a pair of wolf eyes full of wildness and domineering, ready to attack at any time with bared teeth, and Lu Xizhi is the poor prey , a glutinous little white rabbit waiting to be slaughtered.Can he stay away from himself?

Yuan Yanxi saw that the little girl was a little uncomfortable, and the corner of her mouth curled up, then looked away, closed her eyes and regained her composure.

The news that Bei Xue brought back sounded in my ears. Except for Lu Zhonglian and Lu Ziyi, the rest of the Lu family were all women who did not go out of their homes. They had never seen the world. Before the age of 15, Lu Xizhi was very ordinary and obedient. Several gentlemen invited also said that its rotten wood cannot be carved, and there is no trace of cleverness.And this one in front of him is smart, calm and calm...

Yuan Yanxi frowned again, he never believed in ghosts and gods, and now he began to suspect that there were really gods to guide the way.If so, maybe she can really help herself.

Still, look again.

"Director Yuan, we're here."

Yuan Yanxi didn't move, still maintaining a slightly resting posture.

Lu Xizhi quickly thanked him, jumped out of the carriage, and asked Dong Hai to wait for a while.

"Yu Niang."

"Unfortunately, I haven't seen you for a few days, are you feeling better?" Jin Yu was taken aback when he saw her in men's clothes.

"Well, Yu Niang, can you lend me ordinary clothes now? Don't be fancy."

"There are, why? You don't want to investigate the case again, do you?"

"Exactly! Put it on for me quickly."

Yu Niang saw that she didn't seem to be joking, although she felt uneasy, she quickly found a brown dress for her to change into, and put her in an inconspicuous bun, told her to be careful and let her go up.

Lu Xizhi hurriedly got into the carriage, estimated how much time he had spent, it was only about ten minutes, huh... not bad.She can't bear the crime of making Governor Yuan Dachang wait for a long time.

The carriage started up again.

Yuan Yanxi half-closed his eyes and looked at the opposite side:
She changed into an ordinary brown dress, a pair of bright eyes, two rows of white teeth, so brightly adorned her face, her skin is as soft and smooth as jade, her hair is tied into a bun, and her temples are slanted. The inconspicuous hosta is indeed very inconspicuously dressed, but those eyes are still shining brightly.

Yuan Yanxi smiled slightly, Lu Zhonglian himself looked average, but the daughter he gave birth to was good enough to enter the palace for draft.

(Lu Zhonglian, who was on duty, sneezed three times)
The Fang family's house is close to the moat, and there is a vegetable field next to it. Through the wooden fence, Lu Xizhi saw a woman who looked like a peasant woman watering the vegetable garden.

Lu and Yuan glanced at each other, and Lu Xizhi stepped forward to say hello, "Ma'am, is this the Fang family?"

The peasant woman straightened up, touched the sweat on her forehead, and looked at them.

"You are?"

"We want to know about Fang Daqiang's situation. Are you Aunt Liu?"

The peasant woman was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head to arrange the vegetables at her feet.

"The imperial court handles the case, and those who do not cooperate can be immediately arrested and sent to the Yamen for review." Yuan Yanxi said indifferently.

The woman's hands obviously stopped, she looked up and saw Yuan Yanxi's cold eyes, stood up shyly, and walked out slowly.

Seeing the peasant woman approaching, Lu Xizhi immediately signaled Yuan Yanxi with his eyes that it was all right, then went up to meet her, and gently held her hand: "Ms. Liu, let's just ask a few random questions, you don't have to be nervous."

"Sit inside." Maybe it was Lu Xizhi's gentle tone that dispelled the panic in her heart, and Liu Osmanthus let them into the room.

After entering the house, Lu Xizhi noticed with sharp eyes that the Fang family only had three members, but it was much bigger than the Zhang family. In addition to a main house, there were two wing rooms, and there was also a separate kitchen. The living room is more spacious, but Fang Daqiang and his wife insist on squeezing the old and the small, which is a problem.

Liu Osmanthus washed two tea bowls, poured tea, and brought them over to invite them to drink. She dared not look at the tall man.

Lu Xizhi thanked her, finished her drink nonchalantly, wiped her mouth with her sleeve, and praised the tea as delicious.

Liu osmanthus smiled and told her that this is the chrysanthemum tea she made by herself. It is cool and refreshing, and it is the best drink in summer.

Yuan Yanxi only glanced at it, and didn't intend to touch it.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Lu Xizhi began to get down to business.

"Ms. Liu, why are you alone, where is Uncle Fang?"

"He went to make ironware for others, and he came back to eat at noon."

"Ma'am, who does Fang Daqiang usually hang out with? Do you have any friends who don't get along with you?"

"He walks alone and doesn't tell us anything."

Lu Xizhi nodded, "Ma'am, when was the last time you saw Fang Daqiang?"

"Five days ago, he brought his two grandchildren to visit us."

"Didn't your wife come with you?"

Liu Osmanthus shook her head silently, saying no,
Lu Xizhi glanced at Yuan Yanxi, then turned around and immediately asked straightforwardly: "Auntie, do you have any conflicts with your daughter-in-law? Do you often quarrel? Do you have no contact at all?"

Liu Guihua was a little flustered, her eyes wandered, and she stammered, "No, no, no conflict, no, it's pretty good."

"Very good? Then why did their family of four suddenly move to live with her natal parents? Have you been to their house? It's much smaller than yours."

"This..." Liu Guihua couldn't answer.

"It's what they want to move, Zhang Caixia wants to move..." An angry middle-aged male voice rang out, and after a while, he walked into the room, and unexpectedly saw a handsome young man and a young girl appear at home .

"Who are you?"

Liu Guihua hurriedly grabbed him, saying that he was from the Yamen, and came to ask about Daqiang's situation.

"Why are you here again? Didn't you say it yesterday? Let me ask you, is my son dead? What about Zhang Caixia, is he dead? If they are all dead, just give us the body. He is always here. Why are you asking these questions? What do you mean?"

Fang Tiegen's violent output, sharp tone, and tricky questions stunned Lu Xizhi. She stood there with her mouth half open and didn't recover for a long time.

As early as when Fang Tiegen approached the two aggressively, Yuan Yanxi protected Lu Xizhi behind him without a trace, and after he finished yelling, Yuan Yanxi said in a calm and sharp tone: "It seems that you want to directly Go to the yamen for questioning, then I will fulfill you, come here!"

Donghai quickly flew to the door, clasped his fists and asked the factory supervisor for an order.

The middle-aged man who was quite majestic just now suddenly stopped talking, and Liu Guihua was obviously frightened, and said tremblingly, "My lord, calm your anger, sir, he has no other intentions. We...we will cooperate. We are also in a hurry Ah, this is so good, how could such a big thing happen all of a sudden."

After he finished speaking, he covered his mouth and began to cry. Fang Tiegen shook off her hand, squatted at the door, and looked hard at the yard.

Lu Xizhi finally calmed down, looked gratefully at Yuan Yanxi in front of him, gently tugged at his sleeve, and told him that he was fine, Yuan Yanxi looked down at her, confirmed that the little girl was really well, and then stood aside.

"Ms. Liu, it stands to reason that it is normal to live in the man's house after marriage. What's more, there is a girl in your in-law's family who has not left the court. Your son and daughter-in-law live well here. Why did you suddenly move to your mother's house?"

"Hmph, I think this temple is too small to accommodate her big Buddha." Fang Tiegen said coldly.

Small?This place is much bigger than the Zhang family, so why should we move it?

Lu Xizhi walked to the door, and Fang Tiegen said, "Uncle Fang, the deceased Fang Zhuang and Fang Shi are still so young. As their grandparents, don't they want to catch the murderer as soon as possible? Based on what you just said, now, I have reason to suspect that you have a lot of hatred for your son and daughter-in-law. I can't rule out that you have a motive to kill people because of hatred. Do you understand? Liu Guihua, Fang Tiegen, you should immediately report your activities all day yesterday in detail. Let’s talk about it in detail, and we will check one by one.”

Hearing the names of Fang Zhuang and Fang Shi, the man showed a trace of sadness. He put his head in his hands and kept growling.

Coming out of Fang's house, Lu Xizhi was filled with emotion, and said to Yuan Yanxi, "Even if the person who died was a stranger, he shouldn't have such an attitude. It feels like he wished for his son and daughter-in-law to die quickly, but only after hearing the news of his two grandsons His face was moved after the name, this Fang Tiegen was too cold-blooded towards his son."

"All living beings are not the only ones who don't like their own children."

"Could it be that Fang Daqiang is not his own?"

"Who are you? What nonsense are you talking about here?"

Lu Xizhi turned around and saw a tall, burly, unshaven man with a pile of hair in his hand... Is that... a pheasant?He only wore a coarse cloth short sleeve on his upper body, revealing his muscular chest muscles, a black belt tied around his waist, and a pair of black wide trousers on his lower body, with leggings tucked into boots.

This is ~ ~ savage?

"Bold!" Dong Hai rushed forward with a stride, his sword was about to be unsheathed.

"Hey, Tiesheng, this is the lord in the yamen." Liu Guihua hurried out when she heard the sound, pulled the burly man over, and said to the three of Yuan Yanxi: "My lord, I misunderstood, this is my uncle, Tie Gen’s younger brother, Fang Tiesheng.”

"Brother?" This is too unlike Fang Tiegen...

"Sister-in-law, you said they are from the yamen? But I heard them chewing their tongues just now." Fang Tiesheng was still furious.

"Alright, alright, Tiesheng, hurry up and enter the house." Liu Guihua saw that many neighbors were already looking at Chao's house, and dragged them into the house.

Lu Xizhi didn't wait for Yuan Yanxi to react, and followed involuntarily.

"Sister-in-law, you see that this woman is so shameless, her man is outside, why follow me into the house?"

Fang Tiesheng is not only big in stature, but also in his voice.

This sentence really made Lu Xizhi blush, "You are talking nonsense! He, he is not a man, oh no, he, he is not my man."

He didn't dare to look back, for he was afraid that the sentence that he was not a man would irritate Factory Supervisor Yuan, and he would cut her off in a fit of anger.

"They are really from the yamen!" Liu Guihua suppressed her voice.

Who would have thought that Fang Tiesheng would immediately fly into a rage: "What are people from the Yamen doing at home? Is something wrong?"

Lu Xizhi couldn't bear it anymore, went up and pushed the strong man with all his strength, "What are you yelling about!? We came because Fang Daqiang died! And his wife Zhang Caixia and everyone died!!"

What! ?His nephew died?

Crack, two dead pheasants fell to the ground.

　Or do two more and do one more, fat!
　　Yuan Yanxi's insidious test: I'm not a man?

　　Lu Xizhi trembled slightly: No, no, you are, you are, a real man.

　　Dong Mie: Heck, no one is watching?Not a single message, wow wow wow wow wow wow cry
