Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 60 The strange place
"Little friend, this is a big matter. This picture must not fall into the hands of traitors, otherwise the Tang Dynasty will be in danger!"

Li Canghai didn't know what secret was hidden in the scroll, but this secret must be very important, and he must find the scroll.

More and more mysteries appeared in his mind, and he felt as if he had fallen into a whirlpool.

Li Canghai sorted out all the facts of the case from the beginning, from Di Gong's apparition at the beginning, to Di Shumen's undercover murder, followed by the successive deaths of Yamen servants and Huangfu Wei.

Li Er said that he pretended to be Di Gong because he wanted to create a mysterious atmosphere by using the previous incident of Di Gong's apparition. That is to say, there was indeed a "Di Gong apparition" before him.But since Li Er was imprisoned, this kind of thing has never happened again.

Secondly, the doorman of the gopher door and the yamen servant were killed. The two have no connection, so how could they have any grievances with Hongyan?
What puzzled him the most was why Hongyan wanted to kill Huangfuwei?Just because Huangfu lost his painting, she killed him and framed Yang Ran?
From Hongyan's words, she wanted to avenge Tanxue and repay Yang Ran's kindness at the same time.

However, Li Canghai still felt that there was something hidden in it.

Thinking of this, Li Canghai stopped suddenly. He turned to Di Qing and said, "Qing'er, help me find out the identities of the two deceased. The more details the better."

Di Qing felt a little strange, she asked puzzledly: "Isn't this case closed, why do we need to investigate?"

Li Canghai shook his head, told her the doubts in his heart, and then said: "Qing'er, don't you really want to investigate the case? The first way to investigate the case is not to ignore any details. Often, small things will affect the whole The case develops."

Di Qing made a gesture of understanding, and before he finished explaining, she turned and disappeared into the street.

Di Qing's dream is to become a world-renowned goddess catcher. For this dream, she entered the Luoyang Mansion as an errand half a year ago.

In Liang Xiu's words, this girl is good at everything, but she can't solve the case, but she wants to be a detective like Di Renjie. In the past six months, Liang Xiu has only let her catch the murderer, and never let her participate in the investigation of the case.

Following Li Canghai this time, she did not expect to encounter murder cases one after another. This made Di Qing very excited, so she would not hesitate to carry out what Li Canghai said.

Li Canghai rubbed his nose, he also wanted Di Qing to check Huangfuwei's recent movements, but now it seems that he can only check by himself.

Li Canghai went to the post house first, and brought Kang Xu to meet Liang Xiu.

Pretending to be an official of the imperial court is a capital offense, and he must find a way to solve this matter.

Firstly, Kang Xu is his book boy, secondly, this person is smart, and he is also a good helper for him.

Luoyang government office, Liang Xiu listened to Li Canghai tell the whole story with a gloomy face.

After listening, Liang Xiu slammed the table and shouted: "You are so bold, pretending to be an official of the imperial court, do you know what the crime is?"

"My lord, calm down. Axu also wanted to find out the truth. A month ago, I was killed by thieves on the way to the post. Fortunately, I didn't die. At that time, I thought that the person who killed me must be someone from Zhengyang County who was going to the post, but after I After investigation, we found that the problem is not simple." Li Canghai said to Liang Xiu.

Liang Xiu stroked his beard and frowned, "What's suspicious?"

"Since the murderer has taken away the official document, he can use the plan of 'Li Daitao stiff' and pretend to be my identity to go to the post. But the murderer did not do this, but sent the official document to A Xu. My lord doesn't think there is something wrong with this. Is it strange?" Li Canghai said after sorting out his thoughts.

Liang Xiu became silent. What Li Canghai said was not unreasonable, at least it showed that this matter was definitely not the work of bandits.

Seeing that he fell silent, Li Canghai murmured, "The murderer was able to know exactly my route to the post, and sent the official document to A Xu in time, which shows that the murderer is very familiar with us, and has even investigated us."

Liang Xiu tapped his fingers on the table continuously, signaling Li Canghai to continue talking.

"Obviously the murderer didn't do this for money. Otherwise, he could just pretend to be me and take office. What's the purpose of the murderer doing this?" Li Canghai was also lost in thought, and he couldn't figure out this question.

"Could it be your enemy?" Liang Xiu said suddenly.

Li Canghai shook his head. In his impression, he had never had any disputes with anyone, so why would anyone want to harm him?
He looked at Kang Xu, and Kang Xu also said with a blank face: "My son has always had no disputes with others, and he has never offended anyone!"

Liang Xiu thought for a while but couldn't think of a reason, so he simply stopped thinking about it, stroked his beard, thought for a while, and said: "Cang Hai, pretending to be a court official is a felony of beheading, I miss you He has meritorious service in solving the case, so he may not be held accountable. However, this matter must not be known to others, otherwise even the official will not be able to protect him."

Li Canghai glanced at him in surprise, but he didn't expect that Liang Xiu would not pursue Kang Xu, and hurriedly pulled Kang Xu to salute: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord, I will do my best to solve the mysterious case for you."

Liang Xiu waved his hand and said, "Since the truth has been found out, you still have to do the post of Zhengyang county magistrate."

Li Canghai nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, my lord, once this case is settled, I will naturally go to Zhengyang County to take up my post."

"Alright, with you here, I feel at ease. How did you investigate the gopher door?" Liang Xiu asked, stroking his beard.

"I have no idea yet." Li Canghai shook his head and said.

"Oh, by the way, you said before that both Dishumen and Hongyan were looking for a 'treasure'. What exactly is this treasure?" Liang Xiu asked after thinking for a while.

Li Canghai pondered for a while, and felt that he should be informed of this matter, after all, he is the person in charge here.

"Returning to my lord, I don't know what the treasure is, but I found some clues from Di Gong's relics. It seems that it is the treasure left by Emperor Wu. The clues to the treasure are in Di's house, and the Gopher Sect sent people to infiltrate investigation into it."

Liang Xiu frowned, "In other words, no one has seen the treasure?"

Li Canghai nodded: "The three imperial decrees obtained from Li's second hand have an invisible map drawn on them. I think that should be the treasure map."

Liang Xiu stood up abruptly, he said in astonishment, "Where is the map now?"

"Two of the three imperial edicts were snatched away by the Goose Gate and Hongyan, and I still have one left here. Without the three imperial edicts, the map is incomplete, and there is no need to worry too much, my lord." Li Canghai pondered.

Liang Xiu walked back and forth for a few steps. After a while, he looked at Li Canghai and said seriously: "Canghai, you must investigate clearly, and I will leave this matter to you."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best." Li Canghai bowed and saluted, earnestly assuring.
