Yan Xingkuan's eyes tightened slightly, and he smelled an unusual smell, which was faintly hot. People from Zhongshu Province had seen the deceased and recognized the method of killing, so there might be some hidden reason behind this.
"Who was the first person to see him?"
Xing Zao, who had brought Li Luo inside, glanced at Yan Xingkuan. Yan Xingkuan pondered for a moment and nodded slightly. Xing Zao coughed lightly and said, "It's a guy from the inn. The deceased came back late last night, so he gave special instructions before entering the guest room.
The waiter prepared the meal at 9 o'clock today. It was said that he had to get up early and go on the road. Just after arriving at 4 o'clock, the waiter brought the food and called the door. No one answered. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the sound of something falling to the ground in the room. The waiter immediately opened the door.
, the door was not locked, and when I went in, I saw a dead body lying on the ground, so I reported it to the official."
"Come back late? When did he return to the inn?"
"About the same time."
Li Luo let out a soft sigh. It was not yet Xushi when he parted with Ren Zhong last night. Although this inn is in the south of the city, it is closer to the east of the city. Ren Zhong has been in Zhuocheng for more than ten days, so it is probably impossible to get lost.
, shouldn't have returned to the inn so late, maybe he went somewhere else after saying goodbye to Li Luo.
"At what time did you see him?"
"Yesterday was less than 10 o'clock." Li Luo thought attentively, where did Ren Zhong go after leaving Qiming Building, what happened in the past few hours, and what was the noise heard by the waiter at the inn?
, it happened to be that the body fell to the ground while delivering food. Is it a coincidence, or someone did it deliberately. If it is not a coincidence, then it is a demonstration. Could it be that they were the ones Ren Yuanshan said? They did it again
What do you want to find out from Ren Zhong?
As the mist lingered, Li Luo suddenly remembered that if Ren Zhong's whereabouts had been discovered long ago, why did someone kill him only after seeing him? Based on this calculation, the perpetrator's purpose should not be Ren Zhong, but Li Luo.
fall.
What did Ren Yuanshan see in the ancient tomb in Zhangzhou, or was this a trap that even Ren Yuanshan had deceived, waiting for Li Luo to fall into the trap.
If these things that happened were not deliberately planned by someone, Ren Yuanshan is dead and Ren Zhong was assassinated. There are various signs that what Ren Yuanshan saw should be the truth that the secret person did not want Li Luo to know.
"Any other clues?" Li Luo asked.
Yan Xingkuan was obviously dissatisfied with Li Luo giving orders here, his face was gloomy, and he coldly uttered one word: "Search!"
A group of detectives used a pair of tricks to avoid missing any corner or any clue. When outsiders were present, even if they were just pretending, they had to make it impossible for Zhongshu Sheng to find fault.
"Hey, what is this?" a policeman asked in surprise, holding a wooden chair next to the table.
Yan Xingkuan stepped forward and saw a few messy scratches under the wooden chair, which seemed to have been carved not long ago. Yan Xingkuan squinted his eyes for a long time and couldn't see what was going on, but the policeman followed the direction of the marks.
He copied it one stroke at a time, but he was also confused and asked: "What is this?"
Yan Xingkuan glared at the policeman who found the traces and cursed, maybe it was just a scratch that had nothing to do with the case, it was a waste of time and the fuss was embarrassing.
Yan Xingkuan didn't pay attention, but Li Luo's pupils tightened by three points, he took a breath and said calmly: "Yan Captou."
Yan Xingkuan looked back at Li Luo and said impatiently: "What's wrong?"
"Send someone to the Dali Division and pass on my instructions, ordering the Dali Division to investigate the case thoroughly."
Yan Xingkuan took a breath of cold air and was greatly shocked. In Dagan, there were only a handful of people who could get Dali Division to dispatch just by verbal orders. It seemed like there was only one such a young man.
"Who is your honor?"
"Li Luo."
Yan Xingkuan's legs softened, he knelt on the ground with a thud, grinned, and it took him a while to squeeze out the word "Prince."
Li Luo didn't pay attention to the shocked and frightened expressions of everyone in the room, and said clearly: "This case is most likely related to me, but I didn't kill him. His name should be Ren Zhong, but I don't know whether the name is true or false. Last night
It's just a quick trip. You cordon off the scene and conduct inquiries inside and outside the inn. Remember not to disturb the people."
"I will obey the prince's orders."
"Also tell Dali Division to only investigate the murderer, not the murder case."
Yan Xingkuan was stunned for a moment, then realized that what Li Luo meant was that as long as the murderer was found, it was best not to know why the murderer committed the murder.
"I understand that I will bring the murderer to justice and hand him over to the prince for punishment." Yan Xingkuan responded firmly.
Li Luo nodded and replied warmly: "Do your best, the murderer is ruthless and his art is extraordinary. You should also be careful."
Yan Xingkuan burst into tears of gratitude, looking as if he was so moved that he would go through fire and water without hesitation, which rarely allowed Li Luo's frown to ease a little.
Before the Dali Division's officers could arrive, Li Luo returned to Qiming Tower first.
Li Luo recognized this character from the traces of the policeman's copying. It was a quick character written by a person in extreme despair and fear.
Ren Zhonglin wrote this word "kuai" before his death. Although there is no clear proof, Li Luo had a feeling that this word was written for him.
Touching the ancient coins in his sleeves, the coldness in Li Luo's eyes relaxed. It seemed that he had to go to Zhangzhou this time. Even if it was a trap, he had to follow the clues and find out the perpetrator behind it.
There was one thing that Li Luo didn't mention to the detectives in the torture room. Last night, Li Luo had secretly sent two masters from Mu Tianlang's dark department to the Lianxiang Inn, first to find out whether Ren Chong was real or not, and secondly, Li Luo had
There is also the thought of protecting Ren Zhong. Ren Yuanshan has passed away. If something happens to the surviving son again, Jiuquan will not be able to rest in peace.
But at this moment, the two ANBU masters have disappeared without a trace, neither alive nor dead. The life and death of shadows is a common thing, but this is Zhuocheng, a heavily guarded and heavily guarded city. The clear sky is bright, but Li Luo seems to have fallen into an ice cellar, and the chill is
Like maggots on the tarsal bones, they follow each other like a shadow.
When they arrived at Qiming Tower, Li Luo ignored the courtiers and officials who came to visit and went straight to the backyard. Gu Lianglei was startled when he saw Li Luo. Although Li Luo's appearance was normal in front of him, his eyes were filled with worries and there was something faintly wrong.
Signs of obsession.
"My lord, what's wrong with you?"
"Miss Guliang, I have something to ask of you."
"Go ahead." Gu Lianglei stepped forward and pulled Li Luo's sleeves, asking Li Luo to sit down and talk.
"I want to borrow two people from your family."
"Okay." Gu Lianglei agreed without asking the reason, and looked at Li Luo with some distress.
Li Luo felt warm in his heart, and inexplicably his mood relaxed by three points, and he let out a breath of turbid air.
