Chapter 94 I Want to Investigate the Case
It's midnight.
A secret message came from Xu Zun's room.
"Sir," Huo Annu whispered, "Zhao Yu is still a person who is not leaking! I pretended to be drunk and tried him several times, but he still did not show any flaws!"
"Well..." Xu Zun nodded slightly, first thought for a few seconds, and then asked, "Where is he now?"
"As you told him to follow that blind girl!" Huo Annu said, "That blind girl, do you really think there is something wrong with her?"
"It's just intuition," Xu Zun said, "It's not necessarily accurate, but it's not bad to check it."
Puchi...
Unexpectedly, Huo Anu didn't know what he thought of, but actually burst into laughter.
Seeing Xu Zun looking at her, she hurriedly said:
"It's nothing, I just think of Zhao Yu chewing your ears in the Hou Mansion, and I want to laugh when I was playing with you.
"hehe……
"I think you're right," Huo Annu said, "Zhao Yu is either free of problems or it's too problematic."
"No," Xu Zun shook his head and said, "He must have a problem, but I don't know what the hell is wrong with him!"
"Oh..." Huo Anu still couldn't hide his smile.
"What about Ku Niang? What did he think?" Xu Zun asked again.
"It's normal," Huo Annu replied, "just I'm curious and puzzled, when I never expressed my opinion on whether Ku Niang was Liu Dong's wife."
"Interesting..." A hint of playfulness appeared on Xu Zun's lips, and he became more and more curious about Zhao Yu's identity.
"Sir," Huo Annu asked again, "So what should we do next?"
"Tomorrow," Xu Zun said, "Mr. Governor will definitely let me thoroughly investigate the girl's serial disappearance case and the case of a woman in a monk's wool corpse, but I have no idea about the breakthrough of these two cases and need to think about it carefully."
"Sir," Huo Annu asked, "What if the governor doesn't let you investigate these two cases? What should I do if you are asked to return to Wudecheng Government Office?"
"Haha..." Xu Zun looked at Huo Annu and nodded with a smile, "Anu, I have only followed me for a few days, you have made great progress!"
"Of course," Huo Annu was proud, "I am not the kind of person with developed limbs and simple minds."
"Well," Xu Zun nodded slightly and said, "If the governor doesn't let me investigate these two cases, then I have to check him well! Haha..."
...
The next morning.
Xu Zun brought Zhao Yu and Huo Anu to the wreckage of the Lu Family Bookstore.
Xu Zun and Huo Anu were radiant and energetic, while Zhao Yu was tired and yawned repeatedly because he was following the blind girl.
The blind girl returned to the inn to rest after singing. There was nothing unusual, which caused Zhao Yu to follow him for a long time.
The fire at the Lujia Bookstore was extremely severe. There was almost nothing left except for broken walls, tiles and collapsed beams.
Even so, under the order of the headmaster Ju Ran, the constables in Shangyuan City were still searching the ruins carefully.
At the same time, they also sent people to inquire to see if they could find witnesses?
"Mr. Xu," Ju Ran reported to Xu Zunhui, "Yesterday, we had sent someone to visit Dr. Lu's relatives and friends. These people confirmed that Dr. Lu's family did not have any abnormalities before they disappeared."
"Oh..." Xu Zun stepped into the ruins and asked as he walked, "Tell me about Dr. Lu in detail! How is he?"
"This..." Ju Ran was stunned and quickly replied, "Dr. Lu is humble and gets along well with relatives and friends.
"Also, Dr. Lu just reads and writes well on weekdays and has no bad habits."
"I heard," Xu Zun stopped in a ruin somewhere and said, "This Dr. Lu has some savings in his family, right?"
"Yes," Ju Ran replied, "By relying on his relationship with the printing factory, the Lujia Bookstore's business is particularly good."
"Well..." Xu Zun nodded, but squatted down and checked something.
At this moment, the place where they are is the center of the bookstore. There is a charred black in front of them, and they can only vaguely identify some burned and burned bookshelf.
Looking at these burning traces, Xu Zun began to recall the situation on the day of the fire. The flames came suddenly and fiercely, and the fireball exploded in just one moment.
If he and Huo Anu entered the bookstore at that time, even if they were not burned to death by the fire, they would have been seriously injured.
I wonder if the person who set the fire did this on purpose?
"Oh, why is this happening?"
Xu Zun was thinking carefully, but suddenly a girl like a silver bell came from behind him.
No way?
Xu Zun was secretly shocked and turned around quickly, but he saw that the daughter of the Marquis's house was indeed Miss Lu Mingyue!
Today, Miss Lu was wearing a beautiful white robe, purple brocade coat, and beautiful big eyes as clear as water. She looked like a butterfly dancing in the wind, and also like a lively and thorough fairy.
Behind Lu Mingyue, there was a Taoist priest with fairy spirit and Taoism. It was Wei Beihui, the guard of the Hou Mansion.
"Miss Lu," Xu Zun was shocked, "Why are you here?"
"Didn't you agree?" Lu Mingyue jumped to Xu Zun lively, "Do I want to investigate the case with my brother?"
What!?
Hearing this, Ju Ran, Zhao Yu, Huo Anu and others almost fell down.
"Miss Lu, we...we're not talking about it..."
Xu Zun was just about to defend himself, didn’t he agree to resolve the good case and become a sworn brother?
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he found that Lu Mingyue kept winking at him.
oh……
Xu Zun immediately understood that in order to come out and investigate the case with him, Lu Mingyue must have lied to the Marquis that he had become a sworn brother in his life!
This girl...
"Little sister," Xu Zun had to act with her with a bitter face. "For brother, I haven't found the clue yet. When I find the clue, it's not too late to ask you to investigate the case together!"
"Oh~~" Lu Mingyue pouted, "Brother said this difference. When you find the clues, what else can I learn from you?
"Besides, Xiaofeng and I are very familiar with each other, maybe I can help you!"
Some words were reasonable and proof and affectionate, leaving Xu Zun indescribable.
In desperation, Xu Zun had to continue asking the head-in-chief Ju Ran: "Captain Ju, have you ever found property in the ruins?"
"I only found some scattered copper coins, silver, jade and other things," Ju Ran replied, "but compared with the financial resources of the Lu family, it is obviously still far behind."
"Yes, yes, all their money is in the money house!" Lu Mingyue quickly interrupted, "Xiaofeng told me in person that her father is afraid that it is not safe to keep the money at home."
"Miss Lu, where...what does the money house exist?" Ju Ran asked hurriedly.
"I don't know," Lu Mingyue replied simply, "You guys go and check it out!"
"well……"
Ju Ran's forehead was already sweating, and immediately attracted several constables and sent them to major money shops to inquire about the news.
"Mr. Xu, oh no...Brother Xu!" Lu Mingyue shouted more and more, "After Xiaofeng's family disappeared, I came to the bookstore to find her, and later I climbed over the wall to search for her, but no one was seen..."
"Oh?" Xu Zun was surprised, "Have you been here?"
"Yes," Lu Mingyue replied, "I came in and looked around, but found that there was no one, so I climbed over the wall again!"
"Didn't you find any abnormalities?" Xu Zun asked again.
"No?" Lu Mingyue shook her head.
"Well..." Xu Zun thought for a while and said, "My sister Lu, you came today. Regarding the disappearance of Lu Xiaofeng's family, I do have a few questions to ask you..."
