In the early morning, the inner house of the Wei Mansion got busy, and Mayuko habitually got up early, waking up before five o'clock, and the habits she had developed since she was a child could not be changed.Get out of bed lightly, after grooming, go to the kitchen to help make breakfast, if you want to catch someone, you have to catch that person's taste buds, you can apply what you have learned, and you can even cook western food.Others like to enjoy life, but she likes to serve others.

Li Guolou was the second to wake up, and Chen Xiangfang next to him also woke up. The two enjoyed a lot of fun from the corrupt nightlife, and returned to being heroines with ideals and morals.Put on the fluttering brocade martial arts clothing, and run hand in hand to practice in the courtyard.Several other grandmas will also come out to exercise after fishing for three days and drying the nets for two days. Today, it seems that they have agreed that the grandmas in the inner house are all stretching their muscles and bones in the courtyard.

The air was clean and the charming grandma wore very little clothes. Some were running, some were punching. Li Guolou ignored everything around him and focused on practicing, relaxing his body, pressing his legs, exhaling, inhaling, and lightly punching.

There were constant screams from all around, and beautiful figures kept appearing in front of Li Guolou. Li Guolou had long been accustomed to it, nodded his head with a smile to show his approval, and ignored the grandmas.

Exercising is a routine, but yesterday's madness is rare. The grandmas also know this truth. If you want to have a harmonious family, you must understand the importance of rules.

With a wink from Chen Xiangfang, the other grandmas knew that Li Guolou finally agreed with their proposal, and they laughed continuously, as if they were mocking Li Guolou for being a villain and a hypocrite.Li Guolou turned a deaf ear and had practiced the Tuna Kungfu to a high degree of proficiency, with a serious look who could tell how angry he was yesterday.

Zheng Lingling also got up early and ran to make trouble in the courtyard, holding sticks as a kung fu heroine and fighting against the air.

In the morning, the family was having dinner in the dining room, and Zhen Yuhuan said softly, "Mike and I are going out together, don't tell me you're busy."

"Oh;;;;;;" Li Guolou looked at Zhen Yuhuan and had many evil ideas in his mind. How should he deal with this powerful woman?

Li Guolou was thinking about how to plot against Zhen Yuhuan, when Xie Ma came in and said, "Master, Ai Hai is here, saying he has urgent business."

"Ah!" Li Guolou's face was unhappy, but his heart was full of joy, he could do whatever he wanted, and finally he was liberated.

"Mike, I'll go with you." Yelia was suffocated at home. She had told Li Guolou that she wanted to see the scene of the crime, and she waited for the opportunity.

"Oh! Hurry up, life is at stake!" Li Guolou picked up two pieces of meat floss bread and a glass of milk to reward Ai Tuzi.

Yelia originally wanted to lose her temper, but when she saw that Li Guolou kept his word and said that he would take her to see the scene of the crime, Yelia jumped up happily, and hugged Li Guolou and kissed her regardless of the old woman beside her.

"Mike, you are the best man!" After speaking, Yelia turned and went back to the room to change clothes. She is Li Guolou's favorite grandma. Li Guolou favors her the most. Only He Ganhe Zhen Yuhuan challenged, everyone here knew that Yelia had privileges, and no one dared to violate her opinion.

When going to the scene of the crime, Li Guolou still likes to wear casual clothes, which is convenient for movement, and it doesn’t matter if the clothes and pants are dirty. After changing into foreign clothes, Li Guolou first goes to the living room of the outer house to meet Ai Hai to understand the situation of the case. Today is different, He won't be allowed to handle small cases, Li Guolou trembled with excitement, this is called excitement.

"Mike, I'm going to work first, come to my house in the afternoon, don't play tricks!" Zhen Yuhuan said loudly to Li Guolou's back, and she was the only one here who dared to talk to Li Guolou in front of his servants.

"Oh, I got it! Anita, if I really don't have time, I'll ask my subordinates to tell me." Li Guolou didn't reply, and even eight cows couldn't pull him back if a case happened.

In the middle of the night yesterday, Cheng Xiaochun, the fiancee of Prince Li Chenghou, the daughter of Cheng Kunyu, Zuo Shangshu of the Household Department, was killed in the daughter's building.Although Cheng Xiaochun's title in the future will only be Prince Li's side Fujin, but the nature of this case is so bad that it alarmed the imperial court.Cheng Xiaochun was killed at the age of 14, and he reported the case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice in the morning. Bao Yitong first thought of Li Guolou, and asked Ai Hai to recruit Li Guolou, who liked to ask for leave, to solve the case.

Cheng Kunyu, Zuo Shangshu of the Household Department, is a Manchu, and his family status is prominent. Because of Cheng Kunyu's reputation for corruption, he was arranged by the court to live in the Household Department for the elderly.It is well known that Cheng Xiaochun has a treasure when she is married, and Cheng Kunyu has a famous red diamond, which is a [-]-carat diamond obtained from Punjab, India.This time, it was also one of the dowry items. If a person died and the red diamond was stolen, it was not easy for Li Guolou to solve the case and recover the stolen goods.

Ai Hai still wanted to eat after eating, Li Guolou rolled his eyes and said, "Don't be greedy, Baldy Ai, hurry up."

Ai Hai saw Li Guolou walking forward with the blond girl Yelia, and his mouth moved a few times in distress, but he didn't dare to say anything about this unusual officer. No one can imagine what Li Guolou will do next .

Zhenglanqi Diaoer Hutong in the east of the city is located in the residence of Cheng Kunyu, Zuo Shangshu of the household department. Chang Shikuan, the chief manager, tried to stop Yeliya, but was scolded by Li Guolou. Now who dares not give him face!

Entering the mansion, the courtyard of the deep house is majestic, and one can hear crying in the courtyard.Chang Shikuan came to the hall in grief, choked up and told the case.

Since Prince Heli Chenghou set the wedding date, red lanterns were hung high in Cheng's mansion, and the mansion was decorated with joy, so that Cheng Xiaochun lived in the boudoir upstairs in the deep courtyard every day, watching big plays and trying on new clothes, having fun Live the life of a girl for the last three days.He also assigned two servant girls, Dong Xue and Qiu Ju, to serve him every step of the way.As the wedding day approaches, Cheng Kunyu invites a famous theater troupe to sing a three-day opera in order to celebrate the festivities. At the same time, he also orders the servants to form a guard team to patrol along the courtyard wall day and night. Strictly prevent bad people from fishing in troubled waters to enter the courtyard and steal.

Chang Shikuan cried and said: "Unexpectedly, Dongxue and Qiuju came to report in a hurry this morning, saying that the young lady was murdered upstairs of her daughter. It was terrible! The old man fainted as soon as he heard it;;;;;;" Chang Shikuan said Then, his body swayed again, as if he was about to faint, and then he said, "Captain Li, our guards did their duty last night and didn't even dare to blink. I dare say don't say anything bad, just Not even a night owl entered the compound! The murderer who killed the young lady must have come out of the compound. After learning about the accident, I immediately ordered people to protect the scene, especially when the two maids were caught. The young lady was killed, and she How can the two escape the relationship? I want to enforce the family law! Finally, I went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to report the case."

Li Guolou glanced at him and said, "Let's go, let's go to the daughter's building first."

With the support of the general manager Chang Shikuan, Cheng Kunyu, Zuo Shangshu of the household department, staggered and led the crowd through the winding corridors and corridors to the daughter's building.

Regardless of Cheng Kunyu's unhappy face, Li Guolou still walked side by side with Yelia, peeking at the architectural layout of this wealthy mansion, which is no longer at the same level as the rich family's architecture, majestic buildings, gardens and gardens follow The owner walks through the main entrance, and has a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery on both sides.

Yelia looked left and right and dragged herself to the end. Li Guolou turned and glared at her, telling her to hurry up.

The daughter's building is located on the right side of the owner's inner house, surrounded by beautiful undulating red walls, and a crescent-shaped small arch on the west wall connects to the parents' inner house.With the door closed, the daughter's building is a small independent courtyard, surrounded by a sparkling pool in the north, with fluttering willows and jagged rocks.To the south is the garden.If you stand on the daughter building and look forward, you can have a panoramic view of the garden pool.

Li Guolou stopped at the small crescent-shaped arch, looked at the lock and bolt, and saw that the keyhole and lock cylinder were intact, without any traces of prying and filing. He couldn't help looking at Cheng Kunyu and being supported by two maids. His wife, Cheng Huang.

Downstairs in the dining room, there were two terrified and trembling servant girls kneeling. They were Dong Xue and Qiu Ju.There were traces of whipping on his face, and when he saw his master Cheng Kunyu coming in, he burst into tears, crying that they didn't kill Miss Cheng Xiaochun, and that Miss's death didn't matter to them.

Seeing the two maids, the head manager Chang Shikuan's eyes were red, and he scolded angrily: "You two dead girls, I told you not to leave Miss for two days, but what did you two do last night? Why didn't you stay with Miss well? "

The two little maids complained again and again, and Mei Xiang said tremblingly: "I'm wronged! It's the lady who wanted us to go out to the front yard to watch a big show! The lady was fine when we went out, I locked the door, and it was still intact when we came back." .My lord spare us. Don't put us in a pigsty."

Seeing the two maids howling and crying, Li Guolou was in heart-wrenching pain. He wanted to save the lives of the two innocent maids, but he had to find the murderer.With the murderer at his side, Li Guolou scanned the surrounding people again.

After dinner last night, Cheng Xiaochun urged the two maids to listen to the opera outside the main gate. At first, Mei Xiang and Qiu Ju dared not disobey the order of the manager Chang Shikuan, but Cheng Xiaochun gave them two silver ingots, saying In the future, let the two of them be housemaids, and let the two of them lock the small courtyard door from the outside, and she will lock the door from the inside, so as to have double insurance.Now the two of them are relieved, after all, the two maids are playful and greedy, so they obeyed the arrangement of the young lady Cheng Xiaochun, and the show stopped in the middle of the night, so the two of them reluctantly left the stage and rushed back to the small courtyard He was about to take out the key, but saw that the courtyard door was half-covered, and the big lock had been opened and hung on the door ring. He couldn't help being terrified, and hurried to the second floor of the daughter's building where Miss Cheng Xiaochun lived. .When they came to the front hall, the two probed their heads and saw under the bright candles, Miss Cheng Xiaochun lying motionless on the floor in front of the dressing table with a knife stuck in her stomach.

"Killed, the young lady was killed!" The two servant girls ran downstairs in horror, and rushed to the main building to report to the master.

After listening to the two maids crying intermittently, Li Guolou looked at Cheng Kunyu next to him and said, "I think Cheng Shangshu and your stolen property are not found, and lynching will be useless. I will take these two maids with you." Let's go, Miss Cheng Xiaochun's body, it's not convenient for us to see it, but the female police officer must see it, this is unquestionable, please forgive me."

"No!" Mrs. Cheng Huang stopped crying and screamed.

"If you can't do it, you have to do it!" Li Guolou scolded, not giving Shang Shu Cheng Kunyu any face at all, as if telling Cheng Kunyu that the power in his hands is not something a retired Manchu Shangshu can compete with.

Cheng Kunyu scolded angrily: "Mother Zhang, hurry up and ask Madam to go back to rest, as long as I am here."

After dismissing his wife, Cheng Huang, Cheng Kunyu pointed at Li Guolou's nose and said angrily, "I know you, and I brought foreign devils to handle the case. What kind of onion are you?"

Li Guolou bowed and cupped his fists, and said: "My lord, I didn't make it up on my own, this lady is a forensic doctor, and the corpse here is a woman, if she comes to see Miss Cheng Xiaochun's corpse, it won't tarnish my lord's reputation. "

Li Guolou's lies sounded like the truth, Yelia was not afraid of seeing the corpse, and it was okay to let Yelia see the corpse, and he also took the opportunity to prevent others from gossiping and plug his own loopholes.

Yelia stared at Li Guolou approvingly, children can be taught, and her usual teachings are not in vain, Yelia is ready to go upstairs to see the female corpse at any time.
