Yan Yan Yugui

Chapter 73
In Shuntian Mansion Yamen, Xiao Qian reported the preliminary investigation results to Mr. Ji.

"We got the registration records for entering the city. During the three days of the second, fourth, and fifth days of junior high school, a total of eleven horse-drawn carriages from Shunchang Motor Co. entered the city from Dinghuai Gate, all of which came from Ezhou. The records registered transported rice, Zilian and others. For other special products, this is consistent with the accounts of the Shunchang car dealership, and during these three days, Meng Chao was not on duty in the second grade of junior high school, and was on duty in the fourth grade of junior high school. Changed shifts."

"Later we went to the Shunchang car dealership. Lin Yanyan found traces of transporting saltpeter in several horse-drawn carriages in the dealership, but saltpeter was not registered in the current accounts of the dealership. We learned before that Meng Chao's father once worked in a firecracker workshop. However, after three fingers were blown off by firecrackers, he stopped doing it. Lin Yanyan deduced that Meng Chao found saltpeter when he checked the carriage, so he had to check it carefully. He was scolded by Guo Yongli. committed murder, but now it seems that it may have something to do with these truckloads of saltpeter."

Mr. Ji twirled his index finger on the tea cover several times, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "Lin Yanyan, are you sure it's saltpeter?"

"She's very determined."

Mr. Ji pondered: "In this way, this case is complicated. Now we need to find out how much saltpeter they smuggled in? Where was the stuff sent and what was it used for? We can't just focus on Dinghuai Gate , other city gates should also be checked.”

"I've ordered someone to investigate."

Master Ji nodded: "How many people know about the saltpeter?"

"Just you and me, Lin Yanyan, Lu Zhaonan, haven't told Guan Sheng and the others yet."

"Don't spread it to the outside world, so as not to startle the snake."

"I think so too."

"Your Highness, the impact of this case is too bad. There have been rumors in the palace that we should solve the case as soon as possible in Shuntian Mansion. Your Highness, please work hard to solve this case as soon as possible." Ji Daren said humanely.

"A matter of duty." Xiao Qian said.

This case is not easy to solve, but the more difficult the case is, the more challenging it is. What's more, there is a hint of conspiracy behind this case. Xiao Qian is looking forward to the moment when the mystery is revealed.

Xiao Qian came out from Mr. Ji and returned to the duty room, but saw Lin Yanyan sitting in his place.

"How did you come?"

Lin Yanyan said: "When I was having dinner, I suddenly thought of something. I think we have to go to Meng's house again."

"Now?" Xiao Qian looked at the sky outside, it was already dark.

"Yes, right now."

"What do you want to check?"

"Before we saw the mess of Meng's house being turned over, we took it for granted that the other party was looking for property, or creating a scene of theft, but I thought of a possibility, just because Meng Chao became suspicious of the goods in the carriage. I think it's a bit far-fetched to bring about a catastrophe, maybe Meng Chao discovered more than saltpeter, maybe he has evidence in his hand, is it possible that the murderer is looking for evidence?"

Xiao Qian's eyes lit up: "Come on, let's go to Meng's house now."

On the way, Lin Yanyan asked, "Where's Lu Zhaonan?"

Xiao Qian smiled wryly: "He, he vomited all over the place without eating breakfast. He ate vigorously at noon, but he was full and his stomach hurt. I asked him to go back and rest first."

"I'll write you a recipe for invigorating the spleen and eliminating food later on."

"No, he has returned to the palace, and he will ask the imperial doctor to see him. Have you learned a lot from your master recently?"

"Of course, my master is amazing." Lin Yanyan raised her eyebrows triumphantly.

"Is your master a woman?"

Lin Yanyan was puzzled: "Why do you think it's a woman?"

"I heard that all ladies in Beijing now call you the master of beauty and beauty. This skill should be taught by your master! If you pay so much attention to beauty, it would be a bit scary if you weren't a woman."

"It's scary about your size." You and Lu Zhaonan are both men!Not together?Early in the morning, in front of her, you chatted with each other, adjusted your clothes, and combed your hair.

Xiao Qian didn't know that Lin Yanyan had already pasted a capitalized broken sleeve label on his forehead, and he was still in the mood to joke: "Is my head scary? It's so handsome, did it scare you?"

Lin Yanyan glanced at him, with handsome eyebrows and slender eyes, deep and energetic eyes, and a high bridge of nose. He is indeed handsome, but unfortunately he likes men, no matter how good-looking he is, it is useless.

"Just don't scare your family Lu Zhaonan." Lin Yanyan sneered.

"What is my family Lu Zhaonan? Why don't you say your family Lu Zhaonan?" Why does this sound so wrong?
"I dare not." Lin Yanyan swung his whip and ran forward at a faster speed.

Xiao Qian hurriedly chased after him.

The bodies of the Meng family have been transported back to Shuntian Mansion, but the bloodstains on the ground are still there, and even though the house is lit, it still feels creepy.

"I knew I would bring more people here." Xiao Qian said.

Although the Meng family only entered the house once, it was very difficult for the two of them to find something that they didn't know existed, let alone where it would be hidden.

"Too many people can easily mess up the scene."

"Then how to find it? Let's work separately?"

Lin Yanyan looked at the blood on the floor of the middle hall, and thought of the death of the three children in the next room, she couldn't help shivering: "Let's look for it together!"

The corners of Xiao Qian's mouth curled almost imperceptibly, and he just said it out of fear.

"Xiao Qian, if you wanted to hide something very important at home, where would you hide it?"

"I'm more used to hiding it in my heart." No one can steal it away.

Lin Yanyan glared at him: "Can you talk properly?"

Xiao Qian looked around: "Maybe I will hide in a place that I can see but no one can think of."

"It's a good idea." Lin Yanyan agreed.

"All the chests of drawers here have been opened, even the pillows have been punctured, and the quilts have been turned over. Let's rule out where the murderer turned over first."

"Lin Yanyan, if there is something, do you think it has been taken away by the murderer?"

"I don't know, I can only try my luck. If we can't find it, then we will lurk here tonight. If the murderer is not found, we will definitely come again."

"Actually, this is just my guess. I'm not sure that this thing exists. Don't blame me if the trip is in vain." Lin Yanyan put the ugly words first.

Xiao Qian walked towards the bedroom: "This is the way investigations are done. Any clues are better to be missed than let go. I think your deduction is still reliable."

Lin Yanyan pursed her lips and smiled, and followed in.

The two of them knocked and touched everywhere, Xiao Qian even jumped on the beam to look at it. The three rooms in the east wing were almost turned upside down, but still found nothing.

"It seems that Meng Chao's thinking is different from ours." Xiao Qian rubbed his eyebrows, distressed.

"Then think in reverse, will Meng Chao hide things in a place where even his family can't find them?"

"Pigsty?" Xiao Qian's first reaction was the pigsty, usually no one would enter the pigsty casually!

"You go and see?"

"why me?"

"I'm a woman and you are a man. Do you want me to be a woman in a pigsty?" Lin Yanyan raised her chin.

Xiao Qian: Uh...women are amazing!
