The man who was grabbed by Gu Zhao was a little nervous, "Sir, the villain has been practicing for several years, but the villain has never killed anyone!"

The housekeeper also hurriedly explained, "Sir, this is the ward guard we brought from Shangjing City. We have been with my master for several years. We have always been very responsible and he will never kill anyone."

Gu Zhao nodded and let go of his hand.

Lu Qi stood aside curiously, watching Gu Zhao check the palms of those people one by one, and specifically selected people who had practiced martial arts to ask.

But Gu Zhao asked all the questions very simple, just ask them how long they had been with Mrs. Zhong, whether they had seen the deceased, whether they knew the deceased's situation, or whether there was any relevant information.

The fat follower beside him whispered in a low voice, "Just ask so lightly, you will know if it's the murderer? It's such a joke."

Lu Qi glanced at him, and the fat follower closed his mouth, but his expression was obviously not very convinced.

Gu Zhao asked around and everyone in the Zhong family looked more and more relaxed.

Not long after, Gu Zhao stood up and said goodbye, and it seemed that no suspect was found.

Mrs. Zhong took Gu Zhao and her party outside the door with a steady pace, and enthusiastically invited him, "If you have anything to help my family in the future, just give me instructions."

"Although I am just a woman, I want to do my best for our people in Shicheng."

Gu Zhao nodded and replied with a smile, "Mrs. Zhong has this intention, so He will thank the elders of Shicheng. If Mrs. Zhong has any problems in the future, please send someone to the county government to inform He."

Seeing the two of them taking photos of each other, the fat follower couldn't help but mutter in the corner, "This is really a talented man and a beautiful woman. This is not here to investigate the case, but to go on a blind date."

Lu Qi looked at him coldly, and the fat follower lowered his head.

But Gu Zhao seemed to have not heard the fat follower's comments, and walked out of the alley slowly. When she turned two turns and reached a secluded place, she called the head of the constable and whispered, "Send someone to stare at the Zhong family and don't let them discover it."

The head of the detective team was startled and looked at Gu Zhao's face incredibly, "Sir, what do you mean..."

Gu Zhao often jokes with them, but at this time he looks serious, "Don't ask so much, just do whatever you want!"

"Okay, okay, I'll arrange the manpower now!" The head of the constable thought of County Commander He's ability, and suddenly felt that the pretty and beautiful Mrs. Zhong became very terrifying.

Gu Zhao once again emphasized that "Choose the best person! You must not be discovered. You would rather relax and be left alone or two by them than let them find someone to monitor!"

Seeing Gu Zhao so serious, the head of the constable also became serious.

He ran out quickly, called a few clever detectives, asked them to find some subordinates of the Korean family, and began to monitor the Zhong family.

Gu Zhao stood in the corner, motionless, frowned tightly, and fell into deep thought, without saying anything for a long time.

The fat entourage waited for a while, a little impatient. He was about to say something, but was silent by Lu Qi's sharp eyes.

Even the head of the constable who had been arranged back saw Gu Zhao like this, he stood aside and waited obediently.

Gu Zhao turned around a few times, pointed his fingers as if he was calculating something. He looked up and found that everyone around him was waiting quietly, and he immediately woke up.

"Sorry, sorry, I was so rude."

Lu Qi waved his hand and looked at Gu Zhao curiously, "What important thing is Mr. He thinking about?"

Gu Zhao looked around and nodded, "This is not a place to talk, I'll talk later."

She called the head of the detective squad and whispered a few words. The head of the detective squad nodded and hurried away with the people.

Next, Gu Zhao continued to visit several other objects that the head of the detective team suspected. The process was similar to Mrs. Zhong just now. They all grabbed the palms of people who might have practiced martial arts and asked a few questions that were not deterrent.

It was not until it got dark that she brought people back to the yamen and asked everyone to go home casually, as if they had no gains at all.

Lu Qi's curiosity was almost unstoppable.

Until the head of the detective team came back, he held a small box in his hand and handed it to Gu Zhao.

Only then did Gu Zhao bring Lu Qi and the others to the yamen and ask the others to retreat.

In front of Lu Qi, Gu Zhao opened the box and revealed a piece of jade pendant.

Although Lu Qi is not from a wealthy family, he can also see that this jade pendant has an extraordinary texture and excellent carving.

"Whose jade pendant is this? It looks quite expensive."

Gu Zhao tossed and turned carefully and showed a sudden look of consciousness, "This jade pendant is not an ordinary person." She pointed a pattern above the jade pendant with her finger, "Does Mr. Lu recognize this pattern?"

Lu Qi walked up and looked at the pattern carefully.

"Bagua?" This pattern is a bit like a gossip pattern, but the center of the gossip is a five-petal flower.

Gu Zhao nodded and said, "That's right, with gossip patterns and snow-petal orchids, what did Mr. Lu think of?"

Lu Qi suddenly woke up, "Donghao royal family, the logo of the Yilan family?"

Donghao particularly admires the traditional culture of Bei'an, and pays special attention to Taoism, Book of Changes, and Bagua. The logo of the royal Yilan family changed from the Bagua pattern.

If it is true, it would not be a good thing for this jade pendant to appear in the stone city.

Gu Zhao put the jade pendant on his back, "Do you know where I got this jade pendant?"

This time, Lu Qi's expression became more and more serious, "Is it related to this Zhong family?"

Gu Zhao nodded and briefly introduced the case of five thieves being killed and tortured.

She closed the box and sighed, "This jade pendant was found from the pawn shop. It was taken by the last thief Lai Ziliu a few days ago. He died and took fifty taels of silver."

Lu Qi suddenly understood something, "So, those people specifically killed thieves and tortured them to find this jade pendant? And the Zhong family is the real murderer who killed those thieves? That is, the owner of the jade pendant and a member of the Yilan family?"

"That's how I judged it." Gu Zhao had heard the thoughts of the guards, and learned from it that Mrs. Zhong's true identity - the new widow is true, but she is not from Bei'an, but from the Yuanzhi tribe of the royal family, Yi Lan Suxiang.
