I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 89
Lu Xizhi tremblingly explained it as simply as possible, but Yuan Yanxi didn't continue to pursue it. He just said that there were still 20 days before the one-month deadline.

Wang Yuanzhi took a deep breath, a little surprised, and asked, "What is the one-month limit?" He recalled Jing Ming's expression just now, "Could it be that the factory supervisor suspected you?"

Lu Xizhi looked at him and smiled wryly, "Your master was also controversial before. Besides us, have you ever seen such an unconventional woman with weird speech and behavior?" Rubbing the table unconsciously, "An extremely smart and talented person like Yuan Yanxi How can a person who is far-sighted and far-sighted let a person of unknown identity and origin work by his side."

"He must have suspected me a long time ago." She looked at Wang Yuanzhi, "Even, your master."

With Yuan Yanxi's appearance, no matter how reluctant the Fengpan family was, they could only agree to another autopsy, but after returning, the factory superintendent's expression was not very good-looking.

"What is the factory supervisor worried about?" Lu Xizhi saw that he was worried.

Yuan Yanxi pondered for a while, and said, "General Feng has a strong temperament and a straightforward temper. He has had disputes with many officials in the court, and among the newly promoted generals, General Feng is the only one who was born from grassroots and competed before promotion. It was quite intense. If Feng Wuxi's death had something to do with this, then the nature would be different. It can be said to be extremely bad. Moreover, before Feng Wuxi died, she also attended the princess's banquet. The wives and daughters of the officials who have had conflicts are all present." His tone was hesitant: "Those who had disputes with Feng Jun, Pan Shangshu is one of them, but Pan Yutong is also dead."

"When will the bodies of Feng Wuxi and Pan Yutong be brought over?" Wang Yuanzhi asked.

Nanyang replied: "It should be delivered immediately."

Yuan Yanxi turned to Lu Xizhi and said, "Pan Yutong's maid has already been brought here, you are in charge of asking her about the night when the incident happened."

"Yes." She nodded repeatedly, like a little witty ghost.

The factory supervisor's eyes darkened, and he went to the cubicle.

Pearl has a round head and a round brain, with pleasant eyebrows, and a kind demeanor who smiles first when she sees people.

Lu Xizhi went straight to the point: "Pearl, do you think your lady behaved abnormally that night? Or did you encounter any strange things?"

Pearl shook her head and said, "No, Miss has been in a bad mood these days, and that night..." She hesitated to speak.

Lu Xizhi handed her a cup of tea, and calmly guided him, "How was that night? Has your mood changed?"

The woman on the opposite side looked away, took a sip of tea but didn't make a sound.

"Pearl, you also know now that Pan Yutong was murdered by others. Only by honestly telling us all the details can we catch the murderer. Also, our conversation today will not be published, so you can rest assured."

Pearl closed her eyes and made up her mind: "Yes, the lady has indeed improved."

"Because once Feng Wuxi dies, she has hope to be with the second prince and become Princess Xuan, right?" Lu Xizhi raised her voice.

"No, no, Miss and King Xuan are innocent, Miss... She is indeed interested in King Xuan, but the two of them have never had any contact alone."

"What did Pan Yutong do that day?"

"Miss met with several ladies from the Poetry Club at Miss Yao's home that day, and went home after lunch."

"How many ladies from the poetry club?"

"Yes, there are Eldest Miss, Second Miss, Miss Li from Shangshu Mansion, Miss Wei from Yunxiang Hou's family, Miss Xie from Wu'an Hou's family, and Miss Yao from Sidong."

"Miss Yao, is Yao Zhongjin's daughter?"

Pearl nodded.

Heh, Yao Yimeng's social skills are pretty good, and she has close contacts with so many ladies from high-ranking officials.

"Did anything special happen at the party?"

"It's nothing special, but Miss Xie and Missy drank two more glasses, and they were a little drunk. But everyone had a great time."

"It seems that no one feels bad about Feng Wuxi's death." Lu Xizhi said tentatively.

Pearl lowered her head. After all, a girl like her dare not speculate on such a thing.

In short, according to Pearl's description, Pan Yutong just attended an unusual poetry club party that day, and got drunk as a matter of course.

Lu Xizhi asked Pearl to go back, and recalled it carefully, and if she remembered anything else, she would come to her immediately, and don't disclose the matter of inquiry to others.

Before leaving, she asked Pearl to tell the specific names of the party that day, namely: Pan Yutong and Pan Yushan, Li Xuaner, Wei Miao'e, Xie Manrou and Yao Yimeng.

The subsequent autopsy went very smoothly. The cause of death of Feng Wuxi and Pan Yutong was almost the same as that of the sunken corpse. Now it can be concluded that the three of them all died of homicide, and it is very likely that they were committed by the same person.

When such a big case happened, the emperor naturally couldn't hide it. Qi Tianyin ordered Dali Temple and Dongchang to solve the case within seven days, in order to comfort the spirit of the deceased and to appease the hearts of the two highly respected officials.

Feng Jun also rushed back from the military camp. Seeing that his daughter was going to be dissected after death, he was furious. He didn't relax until he learned that his daughter had been murdered. Lu Xizhi was taken aback by this scene, the general's temperament is really fierce.

"Yuanzhi, you worked hard today, so go back and rest." Yuan Yanxi said.

"The murderer's modus operandi is very strange. I plan to live next door for a few days, and I will inform you in time if I find anything."

Yuan Yanxi thought for a while: "That's fine, I'll ask someone to arrange a room, and if you need anything, go directly to Xifeng."

Wang Yuanzhi nodded.

Before going out, he asked again: "By the way, Jing Ming, is that Miracle Doctor Miao here now?"

"Miao Wanhuo has never seen its end, but his apprentice Miao Xiaowu has always been here, you can trust him."

After Lu Xizhi discussed the next step with Yuan Yanxi, she decided to start tomorrow to visit and investigate a few people who gathered that day to see if there were any new discoveries.

"Does the factory supervisor have any suggestions for these ladies?"

Yuan Yanxi squinted at her: "Dongchang is in charge of supervising the country and inspecting the officials every day. Miss Lu thinks I still have time to investigate the family lady?"

Lu Xizhi was stunned, and looked up at the man, his eyes flashed with anger, she quickly explained: "No, no, I naturally know that you have a lot of things to do every day, but these people are all high-ranking families except Yao Yimeng. As a woman, I'm afraid it's not easy to use her hands and feet..."

"You don't have to worry about this. The sign given to you is enough to allow you to enter the gates of the various houses. But, Lu Xizhi, are you ready to expose the identity of the Dongchang policeman? It's not a big deal for a woman to come and go in a place like ours. It sounds good." Yuan Yanxi took her concerns into consideration from the very beginning.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xizhi didn't even think about it, "Don't worry, my lord, the daughter of the people has long known the cause and effect relationship, but she has scruples because of the worries of my parents. I will explain to them."

Yuan Yanxi smiled: "You might as well start with Xie Manrou first, Marquis Wu'an has always been friends with Pan Shangshu, and Xie Manrou is one of the main founders of the poetry club, with a wide range of social contacts, if something happened to Pan Yutong, she would definitely not refuse to help, Opened her mouth, and the others were easily solved."

"Thank you for the factory supervisor's guidance. It's getting late, and I should go home." Lu Xizhi glanced at the sky.

Yuan Yanxi walked to the front very naturally, and said, "I'll see you off." Regardless of whether anyone followed, she strode away.

It's been a while since I've been in this luxury car, and when I got up, Lu Xizhi suddenly felt very comfortable and at ease. It's really easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but it's hard to go from extravagant to frugal... Dachangdu's carriage is modern, and it is a Mercedes-Benz classic car. Awesome.

"It seems that you like this car very much." Yuan Yanxi looked at her amusedly.

Lu Xizhi quickly sat upright, and returned in a polite manner: "Minnie girls have narrow vision, let the factory supervisor see the joke."

"Of course, my car is naturally the best, but you are the first customer." The man lowered his head and played with his fingers.

Lu Xizhi didn't try to guess the meaning of this sentence, but only replied: "Thanks to the supervision of the factory supervisor, Xizhi will work hard to solve the case as soon as possible."

Yuan Yanxi sneered, and thought to himself: Little fox.

"You and Yuanzhi seem to have a tacit understanding, have you known each other for a long time?"

"No, we met during Liao Chenlin's case."

Nanyang's voice came from outside, and the Lu family had arrived.

Lu Xizhi was about to jump down, but was stopped by Yuan Yanxi. He jumped down first, and then stretched out his hand to help her out of the car.

In the end, he said: "Lu Yuanwai's worries are right. There are indeed men and women on guard. From now on, keep a distance from them." He gave her a meaningful smile before leaving.

Ouch I go!The handsome guy is so flirtatious.

Wu'anhou's family lives in a prosperous area in the center of the capital, and the environment is very good.Unexpectedly, it was Marquis Wu An himself, Xie Zhanbai, who opened the door. He was also taken aback when he saw a beautifully dressed girl outside the door.

"Who is the girl?" Xie Zhanbai was polite.

Lu Xizhi had a very good impression of this Marquis, a clean and handsome middle-aged man with a righteous spirit.

"Minnv is a police officer in Dongchang, and she came to ask Ms. Xie a few questions."

When Xie Zhanbai heard the name Dongchang, his voice sank: "Dongchang?" He saw that there was no one behind the woman, and he let go of his guard: "You came to find Man Rou? But you came here for the Pan family's affairs."

"That's right, please help Hou Ye."

"When did Dongchang have a female job? This Yuan Yanxi is really showing off." Xie Zhanbai shook his head, gave some instructions to the butler behind him, then turned around and said to Lu Xizhi: "Manrou has been very sad these two days, girl After asking, please don't disturb too much."

Lu Xizhi saluted, and returned politely: "Yes, don't worry, Lord Hou, I won't delay Miss Xie for too long."

The furnishings and layout of Xie's house showed that the owner has a rich life and good taste. However, within a few minutes after entering, Lu Xizhi was sensitive to the lifelessness of the house. Everything was neatly arranged and everywhere was spotless. , but there was no sound in so many rooms.

Sun Shangxiang, the wife of the hostess Xie Zhanbai, also had a gloomy and dull face. She asked Lu Xizhi why she was here, and stared at her for a long time before asking the maid to let Xizhi into the living room, and then sat down without saying a word. on the opposite side.

On the wall of the hall is a huge landscape ink painting, the pen is vigorous and powerful, revealing the ambition of the painter everywhere, Lu Xizhi feels that his task today will be very difficult.

"Miss Xie, today I want to know about Pan Yutong's state when he was meeting with you in the daytime before his death. Can you cooperate with me?"

Xie Manrou's face is a beautiful face, Danfeng eyes full of affection, each pore exudes youth and beauty, but at this moment this face is infinitely sad.

"Who sent you here?" Sun Shangxiang's voice was cold.

After only hesitating for three seconds, Lu Xizhi made a decision. To be honest, this Sun Shangxiang, who has the same name as Sun Quan's sister, is obviously a wise and shrewd person. The best way.

Lu Xizhi roughly stated that Pan Yutong might have died of suicide, and also talked about her own thoughts and goals. During this period, Sun Shangxiang kept staring at her intently.

"So, you now suspect that there is a murderer among those who attended the party that day?"

"Ma'am misunderstood. It's just a matter of routine to ask Ms. Xie to understand the situation." Lu Xizhi's attitude was very sincere.

"I know, what Miss Lu wants to ask, please..." After saying this, Xie Manrou suddenly fell silent. She lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking. Turning red, she suddenly understood that the people who had a good time together that day are now separated by yin and yang, Xie Manrou must have remembered the scene at that time.

After a long silence, Lu Xizhi asked cautiously: "Miss Xie, you usually associate with Pan Yutong, have you ever heard that she has a weak heart?"

Xie Manrou shook her head and said, "Yutong is very lively and cheerful. She loves to laugh and is very smart. We have never found any weakness in her. Maybe I should stop her from drinking so much that day... "

"Did Pan Yutong have any serious conflicts with anyone before his death?" Lu Xizhi asked responsibly.

Xie Manrou with a haggard face thought about it, and said in a vague way: "If you want to talk about conflicts, recently it is because of the engagement between King Xuan and the Feng family. She is a little bit disappointed and unwilling."

But at this moment, Sun Shangxiang, who was sitting silently by the side, coughed, which made Lu Xizhi look at her unexpectedly.

In fact, Yuan Yanxi had already investigated the incidents between Pan Yutong and Qi Yuheng side-by-side. Except for the jokes between women, the two had no substantive affair between men and women, and there was nothing suspicious about it.

"Apart from this, what else? Think about it carefully, this is very important." Lu Xizhi asked.

Xie Manrou's expression began to hesitate, and she said after a while, "At the end of last year, the two sisters Yutong and Lushan had a fierce quarrel, and it seems...it was also because of King Xuan."

Xie Manrou suddenly started to talk endlessly. She unconsciously described the whole process and every detail of Pan Yutong's accident day to a stranger. She repeatedly emphasized that if Yutong didn't drink the last two glasses of wine, Maybe nothing will happen.

Lu Xizhi didn't interrupt her, and let her talk, she could understand how this woman felt.

Seeing her blaming herself so much, Lu Xizhi comforted her and told her repeatedly that the cause of Pan Yutong's death had nothing to do with drinking, so she didn't need to blame herself.However, until leaving Xie's house, Xie Manrou's expression still did not recover, and Lu Xizhi left with a sigh.

On the way back to the East Factory, Lu Xizhi was thinking, is his action today considered a success?

But she didn't notice that on the street not far behind her, a pair of gloomy eyes were watching her back coldly.
