I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 90 Looking for clues
For the second family, Lu Xizhi chose Li Xuan'er, who was quite capable in both civil and martial arts. Her grandfather, Li Xuewen, was also Lu Zhonglian's immediate boss, Li Xuewen, Minister of the Household Department.And he is also the brother of his mother Li Wenjun's grandfather, so before coming, he also made some inquiries with his mother.

Li Xuewen has a lonely personality, likes to pursue fame and fortune, and has a relatively estranged relationship with his family. He doesn't even see his brothers in normal times. It wasn't until Li Xuelin passed away that he went to the mansion to express his condolences, and left within less than half a day.

Lu Xizhi feels that this person has a cold personality and is blinded by profit, which will affect his younger generations to some extent, so this is another family that needs to be dealt with carefully.

Fortunately, Li Xuewen was not at home. His son, Li Xuan'er's father, Li Hongxin, a scholar in charge of the Hanlin Academy, received her and made some sharp nonsense about her being a female spy.

Lu Xizhi rolled his eyes, I don't get paid by you when I go to work, and I won't marry your son in the future, so I don't care if I have so much free time?
She spoke impatiently: "Leader Li, the folk girls only ask Miss Li about the situation of their party that day, and they will leave within two quarters of an hour. Please hold your hand high."

Li Hongxin sneered, and thought to himself, she really is a vulgar and ignorant woman, who actually showed her face to be a spy of the East Factory, extremely uneducated and uncarable.

Li Xuan'er finally arrived late. Compared to the ladies from aristocratic families that she had seen before, her appearance was really not outstanding. At most, her facial features were correct, dignified and virtuous.

The statement she gave was almost the same as that of Xie Manrou. Everyone was very happy that day. Among them, Pan Yutong and Xie Manrou drank two more glasses, and were helped by the maid to the guest room to rest for half an hour.

"Apart from these, is there anything special about it?" Lu Xizhi asked, "For example, has anyone ever left?"

Li Xuan'er thought for a while, then replied: "Lu Shan left for a while and went to the guest room to visit her sister. Yi Meng returned to the room and changed clothes because she knocked over a wine bottle during the party... Miao'e and I went to clean the room twice. That's it."

"Miss Li, let me ask you a question, the relationship between you and Feng Wuxi doesn't seem to be very close?" Lu Xizhi tried to be as tactful as possible.

Li Xuan'er was stunned for a moment, her eyes dodged, and she said with a little embarrassment: "It's nothing, we... Wu'er, she just seldom participates in private invitations."

"So, as far as you know, who could possibly hurt the two of them? Or, who did they have conflicts with?"

The other party was stunned for a moment, looked at her in surprise, and said after a long while, "What do you mean by this girl?"

Lu Xizhi pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's just a routine problem, Miss Li don't have to worry about it."

Li Xuan'er lowered her head, thought for a while and shook her head: "It's true that there will be some small disputes among the girls, but they won't go to the point of accusing each other, so... I really can't think of anyone who would have conflicts with them. "

Hmph, both Li Xuewen and his son are old foxes steeped in officialdom. As the young woman with the most high hopes in the Li family, it is impossible for Li Xuaner to ignore the details. Just white lotus.

Lu Xizhi changed the angle and continued to probe: "I heard that the two sisters, Pan Yutong and Pan Yushan, are not on good terms?"

"I don't know where the girl heard the news. Why don't I know? The girls in the poetry club are all well-born, noble, well-educated, well-known ladies. They have always respected and loved each other, and they have a good relationship."

It seems that there is no need to continue asking, and Lu Xizhi is too lazy to play Tai Chi with her again, wasting time.

When she was leaving, she deliberately dropped a sentence: "Miss Li should be more careful when going out recently. After all, the two who died were girls from senior officials' families just like you. It's hard to say the next target of the murderer..."

Seeing that Li Xuan'er was obviously startled and fear flashed across her eyes, she whistled and left in satisfaction.

Lu Xizhi didn't deliberately exaggerate to scare her. After all, the status of the three deceased is not low. If the murderer continues to commit crimes, it is likely to be this group of ladies. It is also necessary for her to be more vigilant.

The following questioning of Wei Miao'e went surprisingly smoothly. I thought it would be difficult to deal with Wei Buyi, the second generation ancestor's family, but the result was just the opposite. During the dialogue, delicious desserts were also prepared, which I have to say is really considerate.

And Wei Miao'e also provided an extremely important clue, that is, the two sisters Pan Yutong and Pan Yushan do not have a good relationship. Pan Yutong is cheerful and sweet, but Pan Yushan is a bit withdrawn and arrogant. On this man, Pan Yushan had a lot of thought to compete with Pan Yutong.However, King Xuan seemed to be more inclined towards bright women like Pan Yutong, so although Pan Yushan didn't show it publicly, he spread unfavorable remarks in private.

Lu Xizhi asked her what kind of remarks she made, Wei Miao'e said indifferently that it was just a trivial matter among women, which would not have much impact, but it was enough to make people not like Pan Yushan. Everyone also looked at Li Xuan'er and Xie Manrou's affection Just took her to play.

This interview left Lu Xizhi with a very good impression of Wei Miao'e, and Wei Miao'e also developed a strong interest in her identity. After the two little girls shared similar interests, they chatted and chatted with Yuan Dachang. body.

"In short, I'm so envious of you, that you can get so close to Director Yuan." Wei Miao'e said while chewing grapes.

"There's nothing to be envious of, he's so fierce." Lu Xizhi didn't take it seriously.

However, Wei Miao'e's eyes showed caution: "No matter how fierce he is, I believe that the girls in our Da Jin country will all be willing. After all, if you can see the most handsome man in the world every day, how happy and wonderful it will be. , he's the No.1 official girl most wants to marry."

Lu Xizhi shook his head, expressing noncommittal.

After coming out of Wei's house, it was past noon. I touched my dry stomach and weighed a few taels of broken silver. Alas... Just buy two big buns to satisfy your hunger.

"Sister Xi?"

Who, who called her so greasy.

When Lu Xizhi turned around, he saw Shang Shijie, the flower peacock he hadn't seen for a long time, walking towards him ostentatiously, waving his hands.

Reluctantly replied: "Brother Shang."

"I've made appointments with Ziyi many times, why don't I see you?"

"Father hired a new gentleman, and the requirements are strict, so..." He started talking nonsense again.

"Hehe, sister Xizhi is really good, where are you going?"

"I'm hungry, I'm going to buy something to eat."

Shang Shijie smiled understandingly, and said flatteringly, "There is a new chef in the store, do you want to try Daoxiang braised pork?"

How can Lu Xizhi, who loves food, resist such a temptation, plus it's free, it's really irresistible.

As soon as the two entered the listening building, a man in black flashed past the window of the private room.

Shang Shijie didn't stay for long before he was called out to greet the guests.

Sitting by the window, Lu Xizhi recalled the conversations with the ladies just now. It should be said that so far, there are not many clues about the murderer.

The cause of death of the three deceased was that their chests and lungs were punctured. This can only be done by martial arts masters, right?Otherwise, even in modern times, it seems like an impossible task.

Miss Shijia, how did you get involved with martial arts people?
Lu Xizhi couldn't understand it.

The only explanation, is it possible to hire a murderer to kill someone?
"Sister Xi, come on, try it while it's hot." Shang Shijie personally brought the dishes to please the girl.

Wow, it smells so good!
Lu Xizhi couldn't wait to pick up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, um... the rich meaty aroma and sticky sweetness filled her mouth, making her temporarily put aside the case and enjoy the food.

Shang Shijie is worthy of being a glib businessman. Not only did he serve attentively during the dinner, but he also told a couple of jokes from time to time, which made Lu Xizhi smile happily.

"Miss Lu is really very elegant."
