Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 79 The Murderer Approaches
He was taken aback for a moment, then a little funny.

What is the coin and silver demon going to do?blame?provocative?
Xu Yuanfang said: "Jinggong, this guy seems to know you, you should be more careful in the future."

Hu Qian said: "Thank you uncle."

He looked elsewhere.

The corpse was the same as Ma Wu's concubine, with a strangle mark on the neck and stains on the lower body. The copper coin in the mouth had been taken out, and it was put on the side with the robe belt.

"When do people die?"

"Last night at midnight."

"Did anyone see it?"

"No, after the restaurant proofreads, she and the maid are here."

"Where's the maid? She was crying outside, saying that she didn't see anything or hear anything, and when she got up in the morning, she was dead."

Hu Qian said: "Where is Yuanwai?"

Immediately someone outside responded: "Bring it."

The crowd dispersed, and Zhang Hu led He Yuanwai in.

Yuanwai He bowed and saluted, "I have seen you, my lords."

After saying a few words on the scene, Hu Qian asked directly: "He Yuanwai, where were you last night?"

"Sleep at home."

Hu Qian nodded, "Uncle, please let the rest of the people go out for a while."

Xu Yuanfang immediately understood what Hu Qian was going to do, and immediately asked everyone to withdraw, only Hu Qian and He Yuanwai stayed where they were.

Hu Qian nodded, then cast his nightmare magic power, glared at Yuanwai He and said, "Yuanwai He, what the hell were you doing last night!"

He Yuanwai was taken aback for a moment, seeing the hellish scene all around him, he rolled his eyes in fright, and passed out directly.

Hu Qian and the two couldn't help but ask someone to come in and wake him up.

After he recovered, Hu Qian asked, "Yuanwai He, have you been anywhere recently?"

Member He said: "This... this old man has been to too many places, I don't know what place Mr. Hu is asking about?"

"Have you seen anyone from other places?"

"No."

"Have you talked to anyone about your concubine recently?"

"nor."

Hu Qian shook his head secretly, and asked vigorously; "Have you been drunk recently?"

"Have."

Hu Qian was overjoyed, "When? Where?"

"... not long ago, in the Spring Wind Tower."

Hu Qian and Xu Yuanfang looked at each other.

"Who did you drink with?"

"Ma Wu...and..."

Hu Qian shouted: "Say!"

"Lord Limu Lu!"

Xu Yuanfang frowned, "Are the three of you regular customers?"

"Several times."

Hu Qian said: "Uncle, please ask Zhang Hu to take a few people to watch Chunfenglou quietly. In addition, bring Ma Wu, He Yuanwai and Mr. Lu to the second hall, and we will ask carefully."

Xu Yuanfang nodded, and after a while, several people gathered in the second hall.

Master Lu looked at Ma Wu and He Yuanwai with some embarrassment, then bowed to Xu Yuanfang and said, "My lord, I'm an official... I'm just going to drink to relieve my boredom, not..."

Xu Yuanfang said: "It's just a question, Master Lu, don't be so nervous."

Then he looked at Hu Qian who was standing aside, and signaled that he could start.

Hu Qian said: "Ma Wu, do you often go to Chunfenglou?"

Ma Wu hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "I... don't go there often, just a few times in the last month..."

"How many times!"

"Four, five times."

"Go for what?"

"Of course it's a goddaughter...drinking flower wine."

"From the first time, tell me who you went with, who you drank with, and how much you drank every time!"

"The first time I was with Yuanwai He, we were talking about the concubine, the villain was the concubine I bought at that time, I drank a lot at that time, it seemed that I was drunk.

They all went there by themselves, didn't drink much, and just went about their business. "

"He Yuanwai, it's your turn!"

"I went there twice this month, the first time was with Ma Wu, and the second was with...with Mr. Lu, and I was not drunk."

Hu Qian looked at Lord Lu again, who hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "I went to the official twice, the first time was with He Yuanwai, and the last time was by myself."

Hu Qian nodded.

Xu Yuanfang was confused when he heard it, but seeing that Hu Qian seemed to have a plan in his chest, he didn't ask any more questions.

Hu Qian said: "Ma Wu, when you were talking about the concubine with Yuanwai He, there were other people around! Yuanwai He, you should also think clearly!"

Ma Wu and He Yuanwai looked at each other for a while before shaking their heads.

"No."

"No, yes, only two girls from Chunfenglou are here."

Hu Qian was taken aback, "Two girls?"

Suddenly, it was as if lightning flashed across the night in his mind.

When I heard about the Silver Demon before, I took it for granted that the murderer was a man, but now it seems that even a woman may not be unable to do it.

Those two girls heard what you said at the time? "

"They were sitting on our... that... sitting on our laps, so they heard it naturally."

"What are their names?"

"Well... one is called Xiaohong, and the other seems to be called... Shui'er."

Hu Qian turned to Xu Yuanfang and said, "My lord, hurry up and gather the servants, and bring these two people here for questioning."

Xu Yuanfang said: "A mere two brothel girls, do they need all these people?"

Hu Qian said: "If these two people are really murderers, even if they bring troops, they may not be able to catch them!

Forget it, let me go by myself! "

Without waiting for Xu Yuanfang to speak, he hurried out of the state office.

However, when he arrived at the gate of the state government office, he saw Zhang Hu running over panting.

"My lord, the villain just arrived at the Chunfeng Tower, and a girl came out of it. The villain went up to question her, but she turned around and left. The villain tried his best to catch up, but he didn't catch up!"

Hu Qian changed his mind, "Not good!"

Immediately, he performed the technique of making light of himself, and arrived home in a long jump.

However, when he landed in the courtyard, he saw that everything was safe and sound, and he didn't find anything abnormal with his deep and magical powers.

He frowned, and called Hu Jiu, "Run to the state office and ask the master to tell Mr. Lu, please go home and have a look."

Before Hu Jiu could go out, Zhang Hu arrived on horseback and said that Master Lu's concubine had been killed.

This time someone saw it, it was a man in black, he was very agile, and he could easily climb over the wall.

"Is there writing on the body?"

"The villain heard so much when he rushed over there, and before he had time to ask other questions, the adults let you come and invite the young master to come over."

Hu Qian shook his head, "Tell Mr. Xu that I can't leave here for the time being, and ask him to send people to guard the four cities and not let anyone leave."

Zhang Hu responded, and galloped away on horseback.

In the evening, when Hu Butong got home, he called Hu Qian over.

"The old bustard said that Shui'er came from another place a month ago. He said that he came here as a refugee. I don't know why he ran away."

Hu Qian nodded, "It should be her."

Hu Tong asked puzzledly: "How can she rape a corpse and leave those stains?"

"It's not sure whether it's a man or a woman. By the way, what's written on the corpse?"

Hu's face suddenly became ugly.
