Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

This utility room is about thirty square meters, and most of it is empty. The sundries are piled up in the southeast corner, covering an area of ​​about ten square meters. In the open space, there is a table and a wooden bed.

Obviously, when the housing supply in Lanyue Building is tight, this place can also be used.

The first thing Li Xuan noticed was the two copper basins placed among the debris. There are two, one big and one small. The diameter of the larger one is comparable to a wheel, while the smaller one is only as thick as an adult man's thigh.

"There are saltpeter ice-making tools on site. Lan Yuelou should have kept them here for backup." Li Xuan then bent down and looked at the ground: "The floor has been cleaned and is very clean, but there are still residual blood stains in the gaps between the floors."

It's a pity that this is ancient times and there are no modern technical detection tools. Otherwise, no matter how clean the ground is, it will be useless. He can also directly identify the murderer through fingerprints.

However, the souls in this world also have more than three spells for identifying traces, but Li Xuan himself is ignorant and has not mastered any of them.

Li Xuan is working hard, but due to limited time and insufficient cultivation, he hasn't made much progress yet.

"There are a lot of blood spots under the table. It should be that the blood was sprayed here when the prisoner attacked the deceased."

Having said this, Li Xuan took out a dagger from his sleeve and carved a human figure on the floor: "Judging from the traces, the deceased should have been lying here before he was alive."

Situ Zhong seemed expressionless, watching coldly from the side, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes that was imperceptible to others.

"These sundries have been disturbed, the dust is not right, and there are fingerprints left in some places. It can be inferred that after the murderer and the deceased entered the utility room, there was a slight push or even a conflict, which caused some of the sundries to collapse. The murderer tidied them up before leaving. Yes, I guess I was in a hurry to leave and left some traces, huh?"

At this time, Li Xuan's expression moved slightly and he looked in a certain direction. Those were several stacked wooden benches. Under them, in the cracks in the floor, there were two things that shouldn't belong here.

Li Xuan took a closer look, then took out a handkerchief with a smile and picked up the things under the wooden bench.

"Captain Situ, it seems that I no longer have to suffer this unfair injustice."

"A woman's nails?"

Situ Zhong had been watching Li Xuan's movements closely, and also saw two things under the wooden bench. It was a woman's nail, the first half of which was broken. The broken edge was extremely irregular and was coated with pink essential oil. There was also a dark brown spot on the surface of one of the nail fragments - that should be the blood splattered from the wound of the deceased.

Situ Zhong couldn't help but glance at Li Xuan with a complicated expression: "Your luck is really good."

Li Xuan didn't think he was lucky. In fact, he only needed to bring Jiang Hanyun's three-tailed spirit fox over and smell it today, and the murder could be easily solved.

※※※※

When Li Xuan took Situ Zhong and others back to the hall downstairs, Jiang Hanyun looked at them with a smile: "Li Xuan, you came just in time. This case has been solved. We are in Meng Xingyan's Some traces of saltpeter were found in the room.”

She pointed to the two women kneeling in front of her again: "Hanyan has already identified the woman surnamed Meng as instructing her to poison the kitchen and steal saltpeter. She just confessed that Meng Xingyan slept with her in the penthouse yesterday, but In fact, this woman left alone last night when she was ugly, and it took more than half an hour before she returned to the room."

Meng Xingyan's face was as pale as paper. When she saw Li Xuan coming, she immediately looked at him with a pleading look: "Sir, I don't know why Hanyan framed me, but I can swear it. If I left last night when I was ugly, One step from the door will cause me to be struck by lightning and die!"

"I have seen many people like you. Their deeds are exposed and they dare to swear anything." Jiang Hanyun clicked her tongue, as if she was disdainful: "You said you didn't leave? Then there are others who can prove it to you. ? If not, why should I believe you? If you really have a grievance, you can go to the Yamen and talk about it."

Meng Xingyan's eyes were sad, and she looked at Zhang Taishan for help. The latter looked unbearable, but after hesitating for a while, he still shook his head. He fell asleep last night and did not hear Meng Xingyan's movement.

Li Xuan walked over noncommittally. He took a closer look at the hands of the two women, and then laughed and said, "She is not the murderer."

At this moment, the entire hall suddenly became buzzing. Except for Situ Zhong who was following Li Xuan, everyone looked at Li Xuan with surprised expressions.

"Is she not the murderer?" Jiang Hanyun stared at first, and then looked at Li Xuan suspiciously: "Now that we have all the witnesses and material evidence, are you telling me that she is not?"

"I can only say that the murderer is very clever and is very good at confusing people. It's a pity that she is unlucky."

As Li Xuan spoke, he continued to scan the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on a pair of small and delicate jade hands.

Almost at the same time, the delicate body of the owner of these hands trembled slightly.

Li Xuan sighed and walked up to Wei Shi, who was at the head of Lan Yue Tower: "Miss Wei, I remember you had your nails on yesterday."

The blood on Wei Shi's face had faded away at some point. Her eyes drooped, but she still remained calm and looked at her hands: "Young master, you are very careful. I thought it was in the way, so I cut it off."

"So you stayed at the crime scene?" Li Xuan took out the handkerchief in his arms: "I think Miss Wei should be familiar with them. It is worth mentioning that there are still blood stains of the deceased on them."

Jiang Hanyun frowned immediately after hearing this, walked directly to Li Xuan and grabbed the handkerchief in his hand. Everyone around them was also looking at the two people at this moment.

The sound in the entire hall gradually calmed down, and after a while, it became audible.

"Master, are you doubting me?" Wei Shi gritted his teeth and seemed to be smiling: "But why do you think this is mine?"

"Who else besides you?" Meng Xingyan stood up at some point. She stared at the thing in Jiang Hanyun's hand: "That's Bingyehong. This kind of nail polish is unique to 'Women's Workshop'. This building is using it, and you, Wei Shi, are the only one who can afford it!"

Li Xuan didn't know the origin of this nail polish. The reason why he judged it to be Wei Shi was, firstly, because he saw it yesterday and it felt familiar; secondly——

"Wei Xingshou, of all the girls here today, you are the only one who has had his nails cut off."

Wei Shi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Xuan with a slightly ferocious look: "I do use this ice leaf red, and I am the only one who has my nails done in Lanyue Tower. But so what? Sir Do you want to convict me just based on these two nail fragments of unknown origin?"

Li Xuan shook his head slightly: "Does the leader of Wei think that such sophistry and denial is meaningful? I guess the troops of Cui Zizhan, commander of the right guard of the South Zhili Prefecture Army, are not far from here. He will let you and this Han Miss Yan's life would be worse than death, and it will also make you regret falling into the hands of our Liudaosi."

He directly copied what Situ Zhong had said to threaten him before to intimidate Wei Shi. But Li Xuan's words are by no means alarmist. In this era, although they do not have all kinds of high-tech equipment and tools, they do not need to be as rigorous as modern society when investigating and handling cases.

The evidence Li Xuan had alone was enough to convict Wei Shi.

And if the Bolingcui family had the chance, they would definitely take the cruelest revenge on the leader of Wei Dynasty.

"But this is wrong -" Peng Fulai frowned: "Although I fell asleep yesterday, I remember that I was holding someone in my arms."

Li Xuan frowned slightly. He glanced at Wei Shi again, then his expression moved slightly, and he glanced at the maid beside her, and then he muttered: "Slender and well-proportioned, rich and well-proportioned, in short, the hand feels excellent——"

Peng Fulai is a very smart person, and he can tell with just a few points. He opened his eyes wide and stared at Wei Shi: "So the person who slept with me last night was actually her maid? Wow, it doesn't count the drugging, but actually A shoddy product!"

Li Xuan sneered and looked out the door: "Wei Xingshou still refuses to confess? I guess you are not afraid of the Cui family's torture, but you can't bear to see your loyal maid, and this... The smoking girl will also suffer the inhuman torture with you?"

The smoky face also turned livid, but she gritted her teeth and said nothing. The twenty-eight-year-old maid next to Wei Shi, although her eyes were frightened and her body was trembling slightly, she was silent and held her head high stubbornly.

"it's me--"

Wei Shi sighed, and she smiled bitterly, her whole body energy and energy declining: "They are just accomplices, they are under my instructions."

"Is it really you?" Jiang Hanyun asked slightly suspiciously: "Then what was your reason for killing Cui Hongshu? There must be a reason for killing, right?"

"Reason? Haha -" Wei Shi's face was ferocious, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net and his facial features were almost distorted: "Three years ago, my sister was tortured to death by Cui Hongshu and several dandies in the Jiaofang Division!"

"She is only thirteen years old! I have collected enough money to redeem her life! They are all a bunch of beasts! A bunch of beasts who will not regret their death!"

Jiang Hanyun looked startled, then lowered his eyes and waved his sleeves slightly: "Take them away! Mr. Situ, you send people to send them to Liudaosi as soon as possible. In addition, deploy a few more capable people , come with me to search Miss Wei’s boudoir.”

Wei Shi laughed miserably and let several policemen who came over put the chains on her body. But just as she was being escorted by several people to the door, Li Xuan suddenly shouted "Wait a minute."

He stared at Wei Shi coldly: "I want to know why Miss Wei framed Li? I have no enmity with you."

"It was just a spur-of-the-moment idea. I happened to see you conflicting with him, and I happened to be there."

Wei Shi didn't even look back at Li Xuan and continued to walk outside. Li Xuan frowned slightly and looked gloomy.

At this moment, on the fourth floor of Lanyue Tower, a slim figure walked into Wei Shi's residence, "Poetry Residence".

Strangely enough, there were government officials guarding the corridor on the fourth floor, but they were completely unaware of her presence.

The woman first glanced around the room, and then fixed her gaze on a bronze mirror. As she raised her sleeve and flicked it, the originally smooth mirror surface suddenly burned with dark fire, revealing a line of words - Your wish has been fulfilled, and I will never stop hating you.

"idiot!"

The woman sneered and walked towards the window facing the river. And just as she stepped out of the window lattice and jumped down to a fishing boat on the river. The eight characters on the mirror also completely disappeared without leaving any trace.
