Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

Chapter 5 Lamb waist and wolfberry soup

"You have to be careful, I'm sorry, something's not right about Chief Situ." Peng Fulai was obviously trying to change the subject. However, his words still made the expressions of the two friends become solemn.

"I know." Li Xuan narrowed his eyes: "This person is indeed a bad person."

Zhang Taishan expressed doubts: "But where did he get such courage? How dare he arrest you without any evidence? Your Uncle Chengzhi family is not something that can be provoked by just anyone."

"It must have been under the instruction of someone." Peng Fulai's eyes showed suspicion: "Or maybe it is related to the major case that happened on the river that Captain Jiang mentioned?"

Li Xuan's heart sank slightly when he heard this, remembering that Uncle Chengyi had served as the "Admiral of Caojiang Navy" in the Jin Dynasty for many generations, and was responsible for naval drills and river defense from Jingzhou to Zhenjiang. Li Xuan's original father is the current Admiral Cao Jiang.

If there really is any major case happening on the Yangtze River, then there is a 90% chance that Uncle Cheng will be involved.

He felt uneasy and confused in his heart, but Li Xuan forcibly suppressed them. He knew that the top priority now was to get out of the case here as soon as possible.

While several people were talking, Wei Shi had already signed and stamped the confession. Peng Fulai sighed and walked towards Situ Zhong with an expression as if he was going to the execution ground.

Li Xuan had no intention of gloating over others' misfortunes. He began to put together everyone's confessions and read them carefully page by page.

"The Cui family does not agree to disembowelment." While Li Xuan was reading through the pages and meditating, Jiang Hanyun came back with a few detectives with her eyebrows deeply furrowed: "The people in charge of the Lanyue Tower don't know anything about it. Xiao Leilei and I didn't find any clues in the warehouse, so we have to look for other clues."

Li Xuan was not surprised at all. He had actually taken a look at the warehouse just now. The location is in the left courtyard, which is hidden and unlikely to be witnessed in the middle of the night. Furthermore, the management of the warehouse in Lanyue Building is also very chaotic, and many people have access qualifications.

In this case, even if Jiang Hanyun had the three-tailed fox in hand, he might not be able to find useful clues.

As for Bolingcui's reaction, it was even less unexpected than Li Xuan's.

"The warehouse can be temporarily blocked. I just made some new discoveries here."

Li Xuan continued to read, and after all the confessions had been read, he raised his head and scanned the people around him. Finally, his eyes locked on a man in the crowd wearing an apron and smelling of oil: "Are you the chef here?"

The man looked slightly stern: "The young one is the second chef here, and the chef had already gone to bed at the beginning of Haishi (9 p.m.) last night."

"So after Haishi, you will be in charge of the kitchen?" Li Xuan said with a cold face: "Explain to me why most of the guests in Lanyue Building today came at midnight (11:30 p.m. ) and then fell asleep?"

The second chef was confused for a while and had no idea what he meant. Situ Zhong, who was next to him, had a sharp look in his eyes. He snatched all the confessions from Li Xuan and read them one by one.

Jiang Hanyun's expression also became excited. She didn't bother to read the confession and directly asked Li Xuan for the answer: "Did this guy put drugs in his food?"

"There are more than forty guests in total, it's impossible that they all come to sleep in the brothel?"

Li Xuan's face was as cold as ice: "All the girls, Mr. Turtle, and the boys in Ke Lanyue Tower are safe and sound. Then this medicine can only be put in the food specially provided for guests."

"It's Lanyuelou's sheep waist and wolfberry soup!" Peng Fulai, who had finished recording his confession, slapped his forehead and suddenly realized: "No wonder I slept until dawn, my relationship was drugged. They Lanyuelou's sheep Yaoqizi soup is famous for its ability to nourish the kidneys, strengthen yang, replenish qi and generate essence. Most of the guests will drink a bowl of it, but those girls will not drink this."

He glared at the madam again with fierce eyes: "You have to pay for it!"

The madam's scalp was numb: "Master Li, is there some misunderstanding?"

"It can't be a misunderstanding." Li Xuan shook his head and looked at the cook with cold eyes: "Guests on the upper and lower floors of Lanyue Tower have been infected. This can't be the fault of the person responsible for delivering soup. Tell me. Well, how many people were in the kitchen at that time?"

"The only ones present at the time were me and a few of my disciples, but how could we have administered the drug? This makes no sense, we -"

The second chef was anxious and confused, but then his expression changed slightly: "Apart from us, Han Yan also entered the kitchen. At that time, I felt that she was sneaky and her behavior was very suspicious."

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Who is Hanyan?"

"It's Meng Xingyan, Miss Meng's maid!" The second chef's voice became louder: "She said she wanted a bowl of lotus seed soup to relieve the fire for her miss. She stayed in the kitchen for several minutes. I saw her Passing by the pot of mutton kidney and wolfberry soup—"

At this time, a girl next to Meng Xingyan, UU Reading www.uukanshhu.net, immediately turned pale and shouted: "Don't slander me! I have entered the kitchen, but I have always stayed at the door."

Li Xuan took a closer look at the girl and saw a trace of panic flashing in her eyes, but other than that, she seemed to be a little relieved.

Meng Xingyan next to her also behaved strangely. She frowned slightly, with a bit of surprise in her eyes.

"Well done!" Jiang Hanyun patted Li Xuan's shoulder heavily before the second chef finished speaking. At this time, her expression became even more excited: "Get all the cooks and this smoking girl down." , detained alone. A few more people will join me to search the room of Miss Meng Xingyan. Li Xuan, you—"

Li Xuan immediately clasped his fists and said, "I'm going to find the crime scene. Mr. Captain, please ask Mr. Situ and the two arresting brothers next to me to accompany me. If anything is found at the crime scene, I'm worried about the chief arrester." Your Excellency said I fabricated evidence."

※※※※

Li Xuan said he was looking for the crime scene, but he drove all the way to the utility room on the fifth floor of Lanyue Building.

When he opened the door, Situ Zhong said in a sinister voice: "Master Li, he is very familiar with the road."

Li Xuan responded calmly: "Captain Situ has also read those confessions. I don't believe you can't tell. All the rooms facing the river in Lanyue Building are occupied, but this utility room is vacant. What place should I say? This is the best place for killing people."

He was already scanning the room, and then raised his eyebrows as expected: "This is really the place."

Situ Zhong's eyes also changed a bit, but then he stood with his arms crossed without saying a word, with an expression of sitting back and watching.

Li Xuan ignored him and began to investigate gradually from the outside in.
