This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 100 What a twist
This maid is very suspicious.

Lu Yuanzhi looked suspiciously.

But he was not in a hurry to say, but asked: "Aside from you, at Maoshi, is there anyone else who saw your master?"

Qing'e's weak eyes met Lu Yuanzhi's face.

"Yes, the three of us slaves got up together, and Hong'e and Lv'e also saw the master."

"Well, where are the two of them now?"

Lu Yuanzhi asked again.

"Master Tiger is right outside the door, and all the servants in this yard are outside the door."

The guard of Jingzhao Mansion heard Lu Yuanzhi's question and reported to Lu Yuanzhi with a smile.

"Let them in."

Lu Yuanzhi was expressionless.

At this time, after a period of adaptation, Lu Yuanzhi's nose has gradually adapted to the rancid smell from the dead body in the study.

Not being distracted by the smell, he began to observe carefully elsewhere in the study.

The furnishing of the whole study is not complicated.

The body was lying next to the desk.

Apart from several self-paintings of Captain Wang, there are also some untouched meals on the desk.

Seeing the obviously cold food, Lu Yuanzhi frowned even more.

"It's okay, but what did you find?"

Wang Yan looked at Lu Yuanzhi with a smile and asked curiously.

Seeing that Lu Yuanzhi had been frowning since he questioned the maid, he felt that Lu Yuanzhi must have discovered something suspicious.

"There are many doubts in this case, and we need to ask more confessions."

Lu Yuanzhi frowned tightly.

To be suspicious...

Yes, and many.

First, the servant girl said that she had just met the master at the door of the study in the morning, but from her own observation, the dead body under the table seemed to have been dead for three days.

Second, he didn't feel that the maid was lying.

Of course, this is not a random remark that is considered pleasant because of the maid's beauty.

It's the untouched food on the table.

Judging by the quality of the food, it was obviously a fresh meal that was just prepared today.

Then it proves that someone came to deliver the food in this study. Since someone came to deliver the food, it means that the person who delivered the food did not find anything wrong.

Since this is the case, there are two answers.

First, the lieutenant had been dead for more than three days, but he had just been discovered.

Second, it is true that he died not long ago, but he should have died by some special method or poison, so the state of the corpse looks different from ordinary people.

If it is the second type, then the time of death is open to question.

But seeing that the food didn't move much, it was obvious that he died before eating.

And looking at the tidy furnishings in the study, it is obvious that he has never experienced a fight, and the maid also said just now that she has not heard any special sounds.

The manner of death must also be carefully considered.

……

"Who brought this meal in?"

Lu Yuanzhi asked casually.

"Return to your lord, it was delivered by the waiter of Zuixianlou. My master likes the food of Zuixianlou most. He doesn't have much time to take a bath, and there are only three days a month. Every time he comes back, he is called Zuixianlou for meals."

Qing'e answered normally.

When Lu Yuanzhi heard the words, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The management officers in Dayong's army, even if they are only low-level officers, have three to six days to rest and bathe when there is no fighting on weekdays.

And the school lieutenant of the City Guards would naturally take advantage of this time to go home.

If you have a wife, make a good man; if you don't have a wife, you can have fun.

As for the food of Dayong's army...

He really didn't understand, but it shouldn't be very good after all.

Otherwise, this dignified officer at the rank of lieutenant would have a big meal as soon as he came back?
"Didn't the waiter find anything wrong when delivering the meals?"

Lu Yuanzhi continued to ask.

"This... I have never heard of it. Every time he delivers food, he sends it to the study and then comes out and waits outside the house. After the master finishes eating, he takes their tableware away."

Seeing Lu Yuanzhi's gentle voice, Qing'e's trembling body has eased a lot.

"I don't know what to do, but the Zuixianlou is also watching people order food."

Wang Yan, who was next to him, saw that Lu Yuanzhi was a little confused, and said with a smile:
"If ordinary people order their meals, they just ignore it."

"But for some dignitaries, they will arrange different tableware according to their ranks and send them to others."

"Like this captain, the celadon is used. Although it is not very expensive, it is not something ordinary people can afford."

When Wang Yan said this with a smile, there was a bit of pantothenic acid in his tone.

A mere school lieutenant has the money to enjoy the celadon of Zuixianlou.

How much blood do you have to drink?

"Is that so..."

After hearing this, Lu Yuanzhi's eyes flashed with surprise.

The operation method of this Zuixian building is quite advanced.

Isn't this just setting levels for guests?

This captain surnamed Wang is still a VIP member, although the membership level does not seem to be very high.

While the few people were talking, the Jingzhao Mansion's servants had already brought in a few people who looked like servants.

Lu Yuanzhi looked intently, and the faces of the servants were worried.

Obviously frightened.

It seemed that he couldn't accept the sudden news of his master's death.

"You are the king..."

Just as Lu Yuanzhi opened his mouth, it suddenly occurred to him that he had forgotten the name of the deceased...

"Wang Yan."

The guard of Jingzhao Mansion took Lu Yuanzhi's words naturally.

Lu Yuanzhi glanced at him unexpectedly, then looked at the trembling servants, and asked in a deep voice:

"What are you guys doing today!"

Lu Yuanzhi's voice was severe.

Having been with my uncle for so long, he has already learned a lot about some of the good things about his uncle.

When facing the suspect, the oppressive feeling on his body came just as he said it.

"The servant girl was getting up and washing with Qing'e and Lu'e at that time, when she saw the master at the door of the study, she wandered around and went back to the study."

A maid in red plain clothes pursed her lips and looked at Lu Yuanzhi weakly to answer.

Hearing this, Lu Yuanzhi frowned slightly.

The confessions of several servant girls matched.

He looked at Lu'e who was beside Hong'e, and that Lu'e's eyes were also frightened, and he didn't even dare to look up at him.

Lu Yuanzhi didn't bother to ask again.

Needless to say, the confessions must all be the same.

The next step is to ask other servants.

"Who are you and what do you do?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at an old man beside the two maids.

The old man was sloppy and looked a little weak.

"Back to Master Hu, the villain is the concierge. He is in the front yard on weekdays."

The old man was a porter.

"When was the last time you saw your master?"

Lu Yuanzhi frowned and asked.

"Back to your lord, the villain opened the door when Master Xiu Mu came back three days ago."

The concierge answered honestly.

"Oh." Lu Yuanzhi was about to ask again.

But it immediately felt wrong.

He stared fixedly at the porter.

"You said that the last time you saw your master was three days ago!!"

　There will be another chapter in a while, and the murderer will come out in the next chapter. You may wish to guess at this time.
