Chapter 18

Zhuge nodded with a smile and remained silent.

"Do you think he is the murderer?" Bai Xiuyu asked again.

"My lord, outsiders are not allowed to enter the scene of the murder!" Zhuge said with a lukewarm smile, and then entered the room.

Ouyang Shaoqing originally planned to explain what he found to Zhuge Xiaoxiao, but saw his prince being left out in the cold, and touched his nose in embarrassment.

Later, when Liang Bao passed by Bai Xiuyu, he took a special look at him, but when Bai Xiuyu looked at him, his eyes were full of rebelliousness. Even though Liang Bao had seen many scenes and countless criminals, he still It was the first time I saw such a stressed look in his eyes.

What is his identity?
"Jiang Ning, Xiaoliu, what exactly happened, my father, how could my father..." Zhao Yi said, the circles of his eyes were already red, and he clenched his fists, tears rolling in his eyes.

Xiao Liu was infected by his appearance, and his eyes turned red.

Inside, Ouyang Shaoqing showed Zhuge Xiaoxiao all the recorded things, including the time of death and the things found on him.

Zhuge smiled and gave Liang Bao a look at the paper, and then said, "Captor Liang, the body can be carried back to the yamen, and I can let you do another autopsy."

"Miss San doesn't say anything, the officials will do the same." Liang Bao said flatly, and with a wave of his hand, two arresters brought the stretcher and took him away.

Zhuge Xiaoxiao still doesn't care about Liang Bao's attitude at all, but Zhuge Xiaoxiao has already seen some small things stuck at the bottom of the cabinet with sharp eyes.She took a pair of tweezers from nowhere in her hand, and picked out the small light green thing that was only the size of a sesame seed.

Ouyang Shaoqing looked at the thing that was so small that it could be ignored, and admired her observation ability.

"It seems to be fragments of jade." Ouyang Shaoqing observed for a moment and said.

"Well, it should be jade." Zhuge smiled and nodded, looking up at something.

Ouyang Shaoqing also moved his eyes away from the small particles, and with Zhuge's smile, he turned his eyes to a small grid on the shelf.

What Zhuge looked at with a smile was a pair of copper lions. Compared with those in other compartments, this pair of copper lions was nothing special. The price was not high, but it was a good choice for collection.

"This pair is just a pair of bronze lions." Liang Bao seemed to be afraid that Zhuge would laugh at them because they didn't know the texture of the pair of lions, so he specifically told them about it. Of course, it was more of a mockery.

Zhuge smiled and tilted his head, and asked, "Catcher Liang has some insights into this murder case? Do you already know the murderer's purpose?"

Hearing this question, Liang Bao just sneered, "The signs at the scene are so clear, could it be that Miss San couldn't see it?" Want to get something out of his mouth?He is not one of those ignorant and ignorant common people.

Ouyang Shaoqing glanced at Liang Bao, and frowned slightly, this guy looks really annoying!
"On the surface, the murderer intends to burglary, but with shopkeeper Zhao included, it becomes burglary and robbery." Zhuge Xiaoxiao reached out to touch the copper lion, and touched the sticky blood on her finger. I smelled it before, it was human blood.

Professionally trained people can accurately distinguish the difference between human blood and other blood, and Zhuge Xiaoxiao is obviously a master.

"The lower officials naturally know that this is a case of burglary and homicide!" This is obvious!Liang Bao glanced at Zhuge with a contemptuous smile. She is still needed to say something that everyone knows?
"The second uncle is talking about the surface." Ouyang Shaoqing interjected lightly, and when Liang Bao looked at him, he said slowly and methodically: "That is to say, there is actually another mystery."

"I don't know what you two have discovered?" Liang Bao asked "humbly".

"Isn't the investigation of the case a matter for the yamen? How dare us ordinary people go beyond the rules?" Liang Bao was speechless when Ouyang Shaoqing said this, and all the drafts he planned later were all wasted.

"But Captain Liang," Zhuge Xiaoxiao said half a sentence before Liang Bao went mad, "If you want to investigate who the murderer is, it's true that you can narrow the scope."

"How do you say it?" Liang Bao was annoyed by Ouyang Shaoqing, and he was worried that he didn't start.

"Look..." Zhuge smiled and pointed to the desk with the account books spread out.

The things on the table are very simple, five accounting books, one of which is spread out, a pen holder, an inkstone, a pen holder, a brush on it, and a cup of tea.

Liang Bao is not really brainless, he can solve so many cases, so naturally he knows what these things mean.Before, because of jealousy, he was a little fiery and not calm enough, but now his sanity is recovering.

"The handwriting on the account book was still wet, and the pen was placed properly. There was no sign of struggle when Zhao Xinglong died, which means that the murderer killed him unexpectedly." Liang Bao said in a deep voice, his eyes deepened, " ...The murderer is someone Zhao Xinglong knows."

"I'm afraid it's not just as simple as getting to know each other." Zhuge added with a smile. She had already walked to the desk, picked up the cup of tea, lifted the lid of the cup, glanced at it and said, "This cup of tea still has residual temperature. It was brewed within half an hour. It is impossible for shopkeeper Zhao to make tea and bring it in..."

"That is to say, the person who brought the tea may be the murderer, or the murderer came after he came?" Ouyang Shaoqing's eyes lit up.

"This cup of tea was sent by the murderer." Zhuge smiled and said.

Liang Bao and Ouyang Shaoqing raised their eyebrows at the same time, "Why do you see that?"

"The counting house is an important place, and it is impossible for ordinary people to have the opportunity to come here." Zhuge smiled and looked at the two of them and said, "Besides, the shopkeeper Zhao will personally give the drunk chicken to the eleventh at noon today on the [-]th, but today it is in the counting room. It can be seen that the restaurant There may be a problem with the account, or other reasons for coming here, since the accountant came temporarily, the murderer, that is, the person he knew must come with him, and he must be the one who can deliver the tea." After a pause, He said again: "There is also some perspiration medicine in the tea."

Liang Bao reached out to take the tea, and called a policeman: "Take it back to the Yamen for inspection."

"Captain Liang, the next step is to investigate the crony people around the deceased." Zhuge smiled and said again.
