Yun Xi nodded in agreement, "The behavior is indeed as Mr. Lu said. There are yesterday's leftovers on the table, there are no drugs in the wine cup, and the candles and incense are all normal. It's just..."

"Just what?" This time it was Sun Xiancheng who asked.

"It's just that the decorations here are expensive and the lamps are extraordinary. It will definitely cost a lot of money to create such a large secret room and decorate it splendidly." Yun Xi pointed upward: "We can't afford a small tea shop.

.”

These seven people must have other ways to make money.

The mystery of his death has not been solved, and the source of his money is unknown. Sun Xiancheng was instantly stunned and regretted that he had asked too much.

"Do you have any guesses about the murderer?" Lu Qingfan got to the point with one sentence.

Yun Xi glanced at Sun Xian Cheng hesitantly and expressed his guess: "The murderer was between five feet two inches and five feet four inches in length. There were no footprints of the murderer in the teahouse. He was fat and thin. He was a boy or a girl."

It is difficult to predict, but the internal power is amazing; the two swords may not be carried with you, but may be hidden in the wristbands of the sleeves or in the belt."

Although Yun Xi autopsied seven corpses, the murderer left very few traces and there were not many clues available.

In addition, the tea shop is surrounded by a remote environment and there are many people on the move, making it difficult to locate the suspects.

"Since there is a portrait, I'll look in this direction first!" Sun County Prime Minister raised his hand and left, going to look for the officers to issue a wanted order.

The Leng brothers followed Qingguo to dispose of the body and hand it over to the Fengxian County Yamen.

Here, Lu Qingfan took Yun Xi around the scene of the first crime.

Yun Xi had already taken a rough look at it just now. Now, under the leadership of Lu Qingfan, she once again carefully observed the bedroom on the right.

"Do you have any doubts about Prime Minister Sun?" Lu Qingfan looked at the books in a corner of the study and asked Yun Xi in a low voice.

When she was asked to deduce the appearance of the murderer just now, Yun Xi's obviously hesitant attitude could not escape Lu Qingfan's eyes.

"I'm just afraid that Mr. Sun will mistakenly think that I'm the one who took care of you." Yun Xi shook her head sarcastically: "I'm good at autopsies, and there are some methods of caesarean section... I'm afraid of causing trouble for you."

How can you dare to infer the outline of the murderer without any conclusive evidence and replace it with an ordinary murder?

"Don't worry." Lu Qingfan's dark eyes were as deep as the sea. He looked at Yun Xi and said calmly: "I have my guarantee for you, so you can speak out."

"Yes." Yun Xi felt relieved and raised her lips into a faint smile.

Lu Qingfan was frightened by that beautiful and charming smile, and he pretended to be calm and lowered his head to read again.

The seemingly absent emotion in the room made Yun Xi's ears turn red, and she asked abruptly: "Do you have any guesses about the deceased?"

"Some." Lu Qingfan nodded: "Their way of making money is not righteous, and there is a high probability that they are on the wanted list... maybe there are still lives on their hands."

"Sir, I have discovered something." Leng Hai strode over to him: "There seems to be something in the wall next door..."

"Go and have a look," Lu Qingfan's tall and straight figure quickly passed by and left the bedroom before his subordinate finished speaking. Yun Xi trotted to follow.

Leng Hai, who was left at the end, had a question mark on his head. Did he just...did he disturb the Lord's good deeds?

There was a huge wall separating the two bedrooms on the left and right. The policeman who was looking for clues just now heard that there was a gap between the walls, so he knocked on it with an iron pick. The outer wall peeled off, and the cement inside was mixed with it.

The pitted bones emerge.

"Sir, the cement and the outer wall are all built back... This looks like a hand bone." Leng Chuan, who arrived a step ahead, pointed to the exposed bone and said solemnly.

Lu Qingfan turned sideways and let Yun Xi step forward. She reached out and took the sheepskin gloves handed over by Qingguo and put them on. She tapped them with a small brush and a small cone, brushing away the last bit of floating dust, revealing a complete hand bone.

"It's undoubtedly a hand bone, and the corpses connected to it should all be inside the wall." Yun Xi said with a heavy tone, and her beautiful eyebrows were knotted deeply.

"It seems that Mr. Lu's inferences about these seven people have not gone away."

"Come here, dig." Lu Qingfan ordered with a livid face.

After a while, the officers dug out one-third of the wall's thickness and found many bones... except for the skull, some of which could be clearly identified, but other parts had been mixed with the cement and could not be completely removed.

Stylish.

Yun Xi took advantage of the time when the guards were digging up the bones, and pieced together the bones bit by bit according to the number of human bones with Qingguo.

"There are nine people dead inside the wall, all of them men. Judging from the condition of the bones, they must have been dead for at least eight years."

Yun Xi pointed at some of the bones: "They were strangled to death, and their neck bones had obvious fractures; these three skulls were cracked because they were hit with heavy objects, and the remaining two...were buried alive.

.”

Because he was still alive when he was built into the wall, he must have been in great pain before dying.

Just thinking about that way of death, Yun Xi couldn't help but tremble.

If they guessed correctly, the craftsmen who helped the seven people in the teahouse dig the secret passage and build the secret room were built inside these walls. When the work was completed, they were brutally killed and built into the walls.

Qingguo said angrily: "The pleasure nest of these seven people finally turned into a burial ground. It can be regarded as a good reincarnation!"

The old cases were not solved, and new cases were added. The bones of these dead craftsmen were quietly buried here, fearing that the family members would go crazy.

Lu Qingfan suddenly said: "Leng Chuan, you go to the county government again and look for the strange things that happened in Feng County in the past ten years, such as earth dragons turning over, rockslides, etc., find the specific locations and mark them."

"Yes." Leng Chuan went to do it immediately.

Leng Hai quickly put his head over: "Sir, what am I doing?"

Lu Qingfan looked at Yun Xi's master and servant who were still playing with the bones, and said angrily: "Stand by." After saying that, he went straight to the study on the left.

Since the seven people hid their wealth here, it must not have been a small move, so there must be traces of how the tea shop group was silenced.

The bones of the craftsmen found inside the wall just confirmed Lu Qingfan's guess.

Yun Xi and Qing Guo used plaster to glue the bones of the corpse, fixed the assembled skeleton, and then wrapped it with white cloth.

"Guard Leng, I would like to trouble you to follow Qingguo and place all the bones. Once the bones are seen in heaven and earth, the family will definitely come to look for them. At that time, the spirits of the deceased in heaven can be comforted."

Yun Xi said it solemnly, Leng Hai suddenly realized the importance of arranging the corpse, solemnly agreed, and then went to work with Qing Guo.

Not long after, a tall, unfamiliar-looking policeman came following the sound of people. He held a roll of paper in his hand and asked Lu Qingfan one by one about his whereabouts.

Soon, someone came to Yun Xi and asked, "Why are you, a little girl, at the place where the crime occurred? Hurry up, this is not a place for you to come!"

"Uh, I'm Wu Zuo." Yun Xi bowed briefly and asked, "Who is your lord?"

"Ah, it's a gangster! Sorry, it's me, Meng Lang. I really can't bear to be called 'Sir' by you. I'm the cadre of Feng County, and everyone calls me 'Zhao Wu'." Zhao Wu laughed naively, his eyes

Still searching everywhere for traces of Lu Qingfan.

"Master Lu is in the deceased's study," Yun Xi said, then walked forward and took Zhao Wu to the bedroom on the left.

The two of them saw the tall Lu Qingfan in the bedroom study. The man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes was focusing on the documents in his hand under the candlelight. He looked extremely handsome.

"Master Lu, Master Zhao Wu is looking for you." Yun Xi interrupted Lu Qingfan.

"Say." Lu Qingfan didn't even raise his eyes, his eyes still fell on the document in his hand.

"Your Excellency, you have a clever calculation. Among the dead, there are indeed three wanted criminals named Zhou Xi, Liu Fang, and Song Zhi. They used to be active in the Lingnan area, specializing in robbing homes, killing people, and kidnapping people... Then they disappeared for some reason. Unexpectedly, they disappeared

He has been hiding in Feng County."

Zhao Wu unfolded the portrait, and Yun Xi matched the deceased ones one by one.

The man A is Zhou Xi, who is also the leader of the group. Liu Fang and Song Zhi are B and C respectively.

"Does anyone have any news?" Lu Qingfan was not surprised when he heard these words and asked.

"There is no news about the two deceased women. We have sent people to look for women who have been missing around Fengxian County for ten years. The portraits of the other two deceased men have also been circulated. If we work fast, we will receive the news in the next few days."

Zhao Wu looks naive, but is meticulous in his work.

Yun Xi listened and nodded repeatedly: "Sir Zhao Wu is really an experienced veteran."

Being praised by the beautiful girl, Zhao Wu instantly beamed with joy: "The girl is so complimentary. We are indeed not good at judging cases, but we are good at finding people..."

"Back off." Zhao Wu was about to start talking, but was dismissed by Lu Qingfan's cold words.

He shut his mouth and clasped his fists to say goodbye.

Yun Xi glanced at Mr. Lu, whose expression did not change, and felt a little funny.

"Wait a minute," Lu Qingfan seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly called Zhao Wu.

"Sir, do you have any other instructions?"

"Captain Zhao is a local?"

"Yes, the villain is a native of Feng County and is very familiar with this area." Zhao Wu smiled innocently with white teeth.

"In the past ten years, has there been any unusual movement nearby? For example... the explosion of mountains."

Lu Qingfan's question was strange. Yun Xi walked over and happened to see that he was holding topographic maps of mountain ranges in Feng County, geographical records...

Yun Xi had autopsyed the corpse. People can lie, but there are no traces on the corpse: among Zhou Xi, there is absolutely no one who loves reading, and there is no trace of a pen on his fingertips.

Then why do they buy so many geographical records?

Yun Xi was suddenly startled, and a bold and terrifying idea came to her mind.

Ten years ago, the Bai family was involved in the Jiangnan imperial examination corruption case, and was accused of accepting hundreds of thousands of taels of snowflake silver in bribes and leaking examination questions... The Holy Emperor ordered a thorough investigation, but before they could be found innocent, everyone in the family was convicted and executed, and no one was left alive.

But what is puzzling is that the Bai family has been wiped out... and there is no trace of the so-called "huge amount of money received in bribes".

Who are these Zhou Xi people?

What do they have to do with the grievances of the Bai family back then?

Does Mr. Lu, like her, suspect that the money hidden by Zhou Xi and his party may be the huge sum of money that disappeared when the Bai family was wrongfully exterminated ten years ago?

Then... when did Mr. Lu think of it?

Yun Xi quietly clenched her hands. The matter was serious and she wanted to ask, but she didn't dare.

"Exploding mountains?"

Zhao Wu thought for a moment and said, "No, our Feng County is located in a plain, with mountains and rivers flowing smoothly. Let alone the mountains, any movement of earth dragons must avoid Feng County... Hey, I remember hearing the sound from the southeast corner when I was young.

There were several loud noises on the lonely mountain."

"How many years ago?" Lu Qingfan knew that he was asking the right question.

"Eight years ago or nine years ago? It's too young, I don't remember..."

"Quick, let me take a look!" Lu Qingfan pulled Zhao Wu and was about to leave. He stopped halfway and turned his head to meet Yun Xi's eyes with complicated expressions.
