Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 35

At this moment, the attic above the second floor suddenly opened, and a woman in purple and blue clothes appeared on the attic.

"Miss Xue is out!"

Someone yelled, and the crowd suddenly became restless.

Li Canghai looked up, the woman was covered with a veil, so she couldn't see her face, but judging from her figure, she was definitely a beauty.

He only glanced at it before turning his gaze elsewhere. He came here this time to investigate the murder of Niu Fugui, and he had been delayed for a long time because of the seat.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's eyes were on the woman, Li Canghai got up and left his seat, and asked a buddy to ask.

The guy had no impression of Niu Fugui, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out why.

At this time, an extremely gentle voice suddenly came from the restaurant: "Jixianglou has always only entertained literati and refined scholars, and never entertained treacherous people. Mr. Yang Su, please go ahead."

That voice was like a spring breeze blowing on the face, almost like the sound of nature, it made people feel numb all over.

Yang Su was stunned. Just as he was about to defend himself, he saw two assistants approaching and dragged him out.

When passing by Li Canghai, Yang Su whispered fiercely: "You wait for me, I will never let you go!"

Li Canghai shook his head. He had seen this kind of person many times in his previous life, so how could he care about a few threats from him.

"Treasurer He, two hours ago, did a yamen servant come to buy wine?" Li Canghai didn't bother to pay attention to the 'saishi' at all, he took advantage of He Xiao's spare time, walked up to him and asked.

He Xiao thought about it for a while, and said, "That's right, there were indeed some yamen servants who came to buy wine, and I personally received them."

Li Canghai's eyes lit up, and he asked, "The yamen servant was drunk when he came?"

"The yamen servant is a little drunk, but his expression is as usual, and there is no sign of drunkenness." He Xiao wiped the sweat from his brow, and asked strangely, "Why does Mr. Li ask these things?"

Li Canghai frowned, and he pondered: "The yamen servant died inexplicably after returning from Jixiang Tower."

"What?" He Xiao was taken aback, he hurriedly asked: "How is this possible? How did he die?"

Li Canghai stared at him, and said in a deep voice, "According to my inspection, he died of alcohol poisoning."

He Xiao almost jumped up, his face changed drastically, and he instantly understood what Li Canghai meant.

The yamen servant returned from buying wine in Jixianglou, and then died of alcohol poisoning. Naturally, the government suspected that there was something wrong with the wine in Jixianglou.

"So, Mr. Li, you are a member of the government?" He Xiao asked solemnly.

Li Canghai nodded: "I am ordered by the Governor of Luoyang to investigate this case, and I hope Shopkeeper He will fully cooperate."
"It's natural, but, my lord, there is absolutely no problem with the drinks in the shop. I can guarantee this with my life!" He Xiao shouted anxiously. big impact.

Li Canghai hissed, telling him to keep his voice down so as not to alarm others.

"Shopkeeper He, do you still remember where the wine sold to the government servants came from?"

He Xiao hurriedly covered his mouth and recalled a little: "My lord, please follow me."

With that said, He Xiao led Li Canghai to the back hall.

Li Canghai casually threw the note on a wine jar, and followed closely.

The back hall is a spacious courtyard with countless wine jars piled up in the courtyard.

He Xiao brought Li Canghai to a corner, pointed to several large vats and said, "The wine sold to the yamen servants is sold from here."

Li Canghai asked He Xiao to open the mouth of the vat, took a spoonful with a wine spoon and tasted a few mouthfuls, but he didn't feel any discomfort.

"My lord, is there any problem with the drinks in the shop?" He Xiao asked nervously.

Li Canghai put down the wine spoon, his brows furrowed, and just about to speak, suddenly there was a scream in the front hall.

A clerk ran over in a panic and yelled as he ran, "Shopkeeper, it's not good! Someone died!"

Li Canghai slipped and almost fell off the wine tank.

When Li Canghai and the others ran into the Jixiang Tower, the inside was in chaos, and there were screams of panic everywhere.

Those young and talented people who are usually polite and polite, all turned blue, and some even urinated in fright.

Li Canghai looked at the messy crowd, he frowned, and shouted loudly: "Everyone be quiet! Stand where you are, and don't move around!"

Li Canghai's body is not weak, his roar was really effective, and those Confucian scholars fell silent.

Li Canghai asked the crowd to move closer to the two sides, and then squeezed through the crowd. On the soft couch in the middle, he saw a corpse with twisted limbs in reverse.

There was a sudden thump in his heart, as if his whole body had been struck by lightning, he stood there dumbfounded.

Swallowing his saliva vigorously, Li Canghai asked He Xiao to form a circle with cloth strips, and then he got in.

Li Canghai swears that he has never felt so terrified, even in the 'Nether Realm', he has never been so terrified.

Because, the posture of the deceased is as weird as the yamen servant, and also similar to the stone statue of Sen Luo Temple!
The postures of the three consecutive corpses were exactly the same as those of the stone statue, which not only made him suspect that his judgment had been wrong.Could it be that there are really ghosts in this world?

Unseen fears are often more frightening than those that can be seen. This feeling is as if you are walking on a night road and always feel that someone is blowing in your ears, but when you look back, there is nothing unusual.

Taking a deep breath, trying not to let himself think about those weird things, Li Canghai then went to the corpse to check.

He knew the deceased, he was the one who asked the question when he was speculating on Yang Su's mind.

From the time he went to the back hall with He Xiao to now, this person has changed from a living person to a dead person in just one stick of incense.

Li Canghai touched the corpse, the corpse was cold and stiff, without the slightest temperature, very similar to the state of death of a government servant.

The limbs of the corpse were twisted, and a head seemed to be retracted into the neck, which made people shudder.

"My lord, what...what is going on here?" He Xiao looked at the strange corpse with as ugly a face as possible.

If there is a murder case, how can the business of Jixianglou be done?What's more, the one who died was still an official son, He Xiao's face was wrinkled into a ball, and he almost cried.

Li Canghai squatted halfway in front of the corpse, he stabbed the dead man's throat with a silver needle, frowned and said, "There is no scar on the surface of the corpse, and the silver needle has not turned black, neither was injured by anyone, nor died of poisoning. "

He Xiao was stunned, and he didn't realize it after a long while. He didn't die from being injured or poisoned, so how did he die?Could it be that he was hooked by a ghost?

"Go and inform Mr. Fu Yin, and ask him to send his assistant to come." Li Canghai stood up, slowly glanced at the people present and said, "I am the master of Luoyang Mansion. This time a homicide occurred, and all the young masters are present. I hope you young masters don't leave this place before we find out."
