Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 494
The two servants never imagined in their dreams that there are still people in this room where people have died!

Li Canghai suddenly opened the door, scaring the two of them so much that they wet their pants.

Li Canghai looked at the two of them with a sinking face, and said in a deep voice: "What is the purpose of you sneaking up to the murder scene? Did you kill A'Zhu and want to come here to destroy the evidence? Hmm?"

The two servants had been frightened to death by him long ago, and they had just come to their senses at this moment. Hearing this, the two fell down on their knees with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "I am wronged! The two young ones are just slaves, and they are just slaves. We are so courageous, we dare not kill anyone!"

"Since you didn't kill anyone, why did you sneak here?" Li Canghai flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly.

"I... the two of us want to pay homage to the third lady." The servant named Laifu shrank his neck, pointed at the incense candle beside him, and said tremblingly: "The third lady has been very kind to me, and now she has encountered an accident. We want to come here to pay homage. Because of our humble status, we are afraid of being misunderstood by others, so we sneaked here in the early morning, and Immortal Elder Wan Wang is clearly aware of it!"

When Li Canghai saw the incense candles placed next to the two of them, he knew what the two said was true, so he nodded calmly and said, "Forget it, I'll just believe you once. I'll ask you, you just said, you see it with your own eyes." What happened when the third wife was killed?"

Lai Fu shrank his neck, and said in a trembling voice: "Last night I was in charge of the night duty in Xiyuan. Around [-]:[-], I gradually became a little sleepy, so I ran to the rockery over there to try to be lazy. I just climbed up the rockery. After seeing the third lady's maid walking out of the lady's room... that happened!"

Speaking of this, Lai Fu's face was extremely terrified, as if he had seen a ghost, his lips lost all color in an instant, and turned pale.

"And what happened after that?" Li Canghai asked with a frown.

"I... I saw the third lady opened the door, and then she lay on the ground with bamboo knots stuck in her body, and blood flowed all over the floor!" Laifu said tremblingly.

"Then did you see who killed Madam?" Li Canghai asked sharply after humming.

Laifu shook his head tremblingly and said, "No...no. I only saw my wife lying in a pool of blood, and I didn't see anything else."

Li Canghai pondered for a moment, then asked: "The third lady opened the door, but did you see it with your own eyes?"

Laifu lowered his head, kept stirring the hem of his clothes with his hands, shook his head and said: "No, I was taking a urinate at that time... When I turned around, I saw that the third lady was dead."

Speaking of this, Lai Fu suddenly said eagerly: "Prince Immortal, the third lady was really killed by a ghost! Before I relieved, the third lady was still in the room, but when I was halfway through the urine, the third lady came Died in front of the door. It is impossible for someone to come to the third lady's room during this half of the time of urinating! Xianchang, there is really a ghost!"

Li Canghai ignored him, but fell into contemplation on his own. He pondered for a while and asked, "Let me ask you, when the third lady died, did you find anything strange?"

"Strange thing?" Lai Fu was stunned for a while, and after a while, he whispered: "I heard some noises, I don't know if it's a strange thing?"

Li Canghai's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the noise?"

Laifu hesitated for a moment, and said: "When I was taking a urinate, I heard a bang, and I was so scared that I peed on my pants. It was that sound, and I turned around and found that the third lady was dead."

"Where did that sound come from? What kind of sound do you think it will be?" Li Canghai asked continuously.

Laifu turned around, pointed to a clump of bamboo forest opposite, and said, "The sound is coming from the bamboo forest. It sounds like the sound of something colliding."

Li Canghai raised his head and looked across, facing the door of Ah Zhu's room, there was a bamboo grove about ten feet away from the room.

"Why didn't you talk about such an important matter yesterday?" Li Canghai asked.

Lai Fu trembled and said: "The little one thought it was a trivial matter, not to mention, the elder thought that someone killed the third lady, and the elder would not believe these words, so the younger one didn't say anything. But the little one didn't hide it on purpose, the immortal head is clearly aware!"

After thinking for a while, Li Canghai waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you guys leave first. Remember, you are not allowed to approach the murder scene rashly again! If you think of anything, please let me know at any time."

The two servants nodded repeatedly, packed up the joss sticks and other things, bowed their waists and left the place quickly.

Li Canghai pushed the wooden wheelchair to the rockery mentioned by Laifu.

The rockery is located on the left side of the bamboo forest. Standing in the direction of the rockery, you can just see Ah Zhu's room.

Li Canghai found half a piece of clothes on the side of the rockery. The material of the clothes was the same as what Laifu was wearing. It seemed that he was frightened and scratched when he fell off the rockery.

"It seems that Laifu is not lying." Li Canghai looked at the half of the clothes, then looked at the surroundings of Ah Zhu's room, and said to himself: "Ah Zhu's room is located on the east side of Xiyuan, from Dongyuan to In front of the door of the room, you need to pass through the arch and a corridor, the distance is about twenty feet. Within this distance, unless you are a master of qinggong, you will never be able to come to the door in the middle of urinating. Could it be that the murderer is A martial arts master?"

Li Canghai thought for a long time, but was still confused. He rubbed his aching eyebrows, turned the wooden wheel, and walked towards the bamboo forest facing A'Zhu's room.

There are many servants in the Zhang family, and there are people cleaning the courtyard every day. As the residence of the female relatives, Xiyuan is naturally even more unnegligible.

Under the bamboo forest, facing the door, there is a round stone table with several stone benches beside the round stone table.

At this time, a lot of bamboo leaves fell on the stone table and bench.

Li Canghai looked around, and found that there seemed to be a lot more fallen leaves around the stone table compared to other places.

Li Canghai touched his chin, then looked into the bamboo forest.

The density of this bamboo forest is just right, the breeze blows, and the bamboos sway slightly with the wind, but it is also a refreshing scenery.

The bamboos in the bamboo forest are different in height and thickness.

There are old bamboos as thick as an arm, and new bamboos as small as an inch.

He thought that after the murder, the murderer might hide in the bamboo forest, but after observing around the bamboo forest, he didn't find anything.

Just as he was puzzled, Li Canghai caught a glimpse of the bamboo in the bamboo forest inadvertently, which was a little strange.

He looked through the bamboo grove, and found that some bamboos were bent badly, and some bamboos were crossed and bent into a large arc. These bamboos immediately caught his attention. Holding on to the bamboo, he walked into the bamboo forest with difficulty.

When he came to the bamboo forest, Li Canghai looked for it. After a while, he found a thin bamboo beside the bent bamboos. The murder weapon that killed A'Zhu was extremely consistent, it was where the half of the bamboo joint took root.
