Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 47
Li Canghai waved his hand to calm him down, and said, "Ah Xu, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that what happened that night was what I saw with my own eyes, it's really incredible."

After thinking for a while, Li Canghai was still confused, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

"Also, before the yamen servant died, did you find anything unusual about him?" Li Canghai decided to start with the matter in front of him. After all, the death of the yamen servant is also a human life.

Kang Xu frowned, lost in memory, he shook his head and said: "This man is a gambler and also addicted to alcohol, but he has not changed all the way." After thinking for a while, Kang Xu suddenly said: "If you want to say something different , but there is a little bit. When he went over the wall to buy wine and came back, he was wearing a jade pearl hairpin, which he said was for his wife."

"The emerald jade hairpin? What kind of pearl hairpin?" Li Canghai couldn't help being curious.

"The pearl hairpin is carved from emerald jade, and it looks very valuable. At that time, I thought it was strange, how could Niu Fugui have the money to buy such a valuable thing, but because I was depressed, I didn't ask any more questions."

Li Canghai's mind turned, and after a while, he suddenly figured out some key points, and hurriedly got up and walked outside.

Seeing that his expression was different, Kang Xu hurriedly followed him, fearing that something might happen to him.

The weather was scorching, but the corpses were stored in Yizhuang, but they did not stink.

Li Canghai and Kang Xu came to Yizhuang, found the guardian to take out the clothes of the deceased, and turned them over.

After a while, Li Canghai found an emerald jade hairpin from the clothes of the deceased.

"It's this pearl hairpin." Kang Xu said.

Li Canghai didn't speak, he carefully observed the pearl hairpin, the main material is made of emerald jade, with a finger-sized red bead inlaid on the head, it is indeed very valuable.

After looking over and over several times, Li Canghai's eyes suddenly stopped on the red bead.

After pondering for a while, Li Canghai found a dagger, and carefully lifted the red bead out.

Kang Xu looked at him in bewilderment, not understanding what he wanted to do.

Li Canghai held the red bead and looked at the sunlight. The red bead was rich in color, and it was integrated inside and out.

"Young master, what's so special about this bead?" Kang Xu asked in bewilderment.

"You'll know later." After saying that, Li Canghai cut the red bead in half with a dagger.

Kang Xu went over to take a look, and found a bright red worm hidden in the bead!
"As expected." Li Canghai sighed when he saw the bug.

Before, he only paid attention to the corpse of the deceased, but did not check the clothes of the deceased, let alone the emerald jade bead hairpin actually contained 'Fire Melting Gu'.

In fact, he had long thought that these dead people had 'Xuanbing Gu worms' in their bodies, and there must be a connection between the three.

Due to his lack of knowledge of the 'Mysterious Ice Gu Worm', he did not guess the key.After being instructed by Huiguang again, he learned about the 'Yin and Yang Double Gu', and he came up with an idea that these dead people might have been in contact with the 'Fire Melting Gu'.

The amulet worn by the gopher doorman and the sachet on Yang Xiu's body contained the 'Fire Melting Gu Worm'. The only thing he found incomprehensible was the death of the yamen servant.

Now, the 'Fire Melting Gu worm' was also found in the clothes of the yamen servant, which confirmed his guess.

But this made the already clear case even more confusing.

First of all, the death of the gopher gatekeeper will overturn the retrial.

If the real cause of death of the Gopher Sect member was the 'Xuanbing Gu worm', then Li Er could at most be regarded as murder. Killing a living person can be a crime, but if killing a person, this crime will have to be redefined.

Secondly, where did this 'yin and yang double Gu' come from?

The three deceased died in the same way, but there does not seem to be any connection between the three.

Thieves, yamen servants, princes, these are simply impossible to fight together.But they all died tragically for the same reason, and it is unknown how many mysteries are hidden in it.

After going through everything in his mind, Li Canghai gradually had a plan in his mind.

"Ah Xu, I want you to do me a favor, go to the prison and ask Li Er, what happened to the gopher doorman before he died. I want to know all his movements, including where he has been and what kind of things he has used .”

Although Kang Xu was a little puzzled, he always obeyed Li Canghai's words.After nodding his head in response, he hurriedly left Yizhuang.

Li Canghai held the pearl hairpin, and after thinking for a while, he walked to the street where Jixianglou was located.

The street where Jixiang Building is located is full of rich merchants and countless shops, Li Canghai held a pearl hairpin and began to inquire about those shops.

This emerald jade pearl hairpin is exquisitely shaped and made of special materials, and it is definitely not sold in ordinary shops.

He asked all over the jewelry shops on the street, but it was strange that no one had sold this pearl hairpin, which immediately made him wonder if his reasoning was wrong.

It only takes a quarter of an hour to get from the post house to Jixiang Tower, not to mention that there are many shops here, if Niu Fugui suddenly had money to buy this emerald jade pearl hairpin, he must have bought it on this street.

But what he couldn't understand was that no one knew this thing.

"Could it be, I really guessed wrong. Niu Fugui didn't actually buy this emerald jade hairpin, but picked it up on the ground?" Li Canghai jumped onto a stone lion a little depressed, sat on it and looked at his hand over and over again. Zhongzhu hairpin.

At this time, a boy who looked like a clerk passed by, he glanced at Zhuchai inadvertently, and suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

Li Canghai looked at him, suddenly his heart moved, and he hurriedly asked: "My friend, do you recognize this emerald jade hairpin?"

The guy only took one look and said with certainty: "Of course I recognize it, it's from my pawnshop."

pawnshop?Li Canghai patted his head suddenly, scolding himself for forgetting this.

"Do you remember who this thing was bought for?"

The guy tilted his head and thought about it for a moment, then said: "I sold this pearl hairpin to a yamen servant three days ago. The yamen servant lost money in a bet and even put his waist card in the pawnshop. Later he won the money, When I ran to ask me to redeem the waist badge, I happened to meet a girl who came to pawn the thing. When the yamen servant saw this pearl hairpin, he liked it very much, so he bought it."

Li Canghai was quite surprised, this pearl hairpin was owned by a woman, so who is this woman?

Intuition told him that this woman must have an extraordinary relationship with Zhuchai.

After pondering for a while, Li Canghai asked, "Do you remember what that woman looked like?"

"Oh, I know that girl."

Li Canghai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Take me to find her!"

The guy looked up at the sky, shook his head, and said, "I still have things to do. In fact, many people know that girl, so you can find it yourself. She is the number one card in Cuihonglou, Miss Hongyan."

Li Canghai's head buzzed, and he stood there in a daze for an instant.

He never expected that the owner of the emerald jade hairpin would be Hongyan!

Suddenly there was a thunder in the sky, a large black cloud gathered, and soon it rained heavily.

Bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, hitting people with pain.

However, Li Canghai walked in the heavy rain indifferently, and fell into deep thought.
