As the maid threw the silk in her hand, Di Zhiyuan's pupils shrank.
The silk was thrown to the highest point, still more than three feet away from the beams.
"This silk is too light. With Madam's strength and height, it is impossible for such light silk to be thrown over the rafters!" Yang Qingyuan's eyes flashed with a hint of glory, which involves the inertia of another system.
The maid tried seven or eight times in a row, even raising her toes and jumping a little, but she couldn't throw the silk over the beam.
Seeing the maid's attempt, all the police officers in Dali Temple also had clear expressions. The maids present whispered, and everyone understood that Mrs. Li's death was definitely not a suicide by hanging, but there was another hidden reason!
"Zhiyuan, there must be something fishy about Mrs. Li's death!"
Di Zhiyuan inexplicably felt that this sentence sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
"My lord, what you said makes sense! If it weren't for your lord, I would have been deceived today!"
After completing this test, Yang Qingyuan's eyes once again swept across the maids!
"Come here, take all the people in the courtyard back to Dali Temple! They will be detained pending trial!"
Di Zhiyuan was a little confused and didn't understand the meaning of Yang Qingyuan's move. It was difficult for Mrs. Li to throw the white silk across the beam. The maids in the courtyard were all about the same height as her, so it would be difficult for Mrs. Li to throw it.
Not only that, there is another problem that these maids cannot solve. It is difficult for them to lift Mrs. Li with their own strength.
Di Zhiyuan asked just now that there were six people in the courtyard including Cuizhu, the personal maid.
When Mrs. Li returned to her room to rest, no one left except Cuizhu, who sent out a meal and drinks. There should be no chance of committing a crime.
While he was doubting, Di Zhiyuan saw the corner of Yang Qingyuan's mouth move slightly, and a voice came into his ears.
Di Zhiyuan's eyes flashed, and he understood what Yang Qingyuan meant.
Then Yang and Di returned to the servant room where Li Afu and the others lived. Di Zhiyuan was in a hurry just now and did not have time to investigate carefully.
"Have the three of them always lived here?" Di Zhiyuan asked the servant who lived in the same courtyard.
"Sir, the three of them originally lived separately, but half a year ago Ah Fu became the master's long-term attendant, and Butler Li personally ordered the three of them to live together."
Di Zhiyuan glanced at Butler Li, who immediately understood and stepped forward to answer.
"Master Di, it is indeed the case. I personally came here to move the three of them together. This is the most spacious room in the west courtyard, and only the three of them live there."
"Another half year?" Di Zhiyuan murmured in a low voice.
Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan checked around again, but found nothing special in this room.
"Pack these meals and bring them back to the office for inspection. Remember to protect them and don't mix them up. This is an important piece of evidence!"
In order to pack all the food and wine, the detectives borrowed ten lunch boxes from the Li Mansion.
Then Yang Qingyuan asked the police to carry the bodies of the two people in the room back to Dali Temple, and sealed the room of the three people.
Although the initial investigation indicated that he died of poisoning, the details still need to be carefully examined after returning to the Yamen.
The case had just begun to take shape, but the suspects got into trouble one after another. Yang Qingyuan became more and more interested in what was hidden behind it.
As soon as Yang Qingyuan and his party walked to the outer courtyard, they heard some servants talking quietly.
"Have you heard? In fact, the murderers are three of them, Li Afu!"
"Yes! I heard from the kitchen helper, Ah San, that the madam ordered them to do it. In order to silence them, he killed all three of them! Now that the matter has been exposed, he committed suicide out of fear of crime!"
"I didn't expect it! Madam looks so delicate and frail, but she can be so ruthless!"
"Who says it's not?!"
…
Di Zhiyuan listened, sneered, and said to Yang Qingyuan: "Sir, it seems that some people hope that Mrs. Li will commit suicide out of fear of crime!"
"Yes! But in such a short time, the news has spread all over the house. By the time we leave, the whole street will know about it, and by tomorrow, half of the capital will know that Mrs. Li committed suicide out of fear of crime!"
"That's right! Murder and suicide, and Hongxing's betrayal are always good talking points, and they will definitely make the city full of trouble, but what's the use of this!?"
Di Zhiyuan has been away from the center for a long time, so he is naturally unfamiliar with the methods of fighting in the court.
"If this matter becomes known throughout the city and Dali Temple cannot solve the case for a long time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will definitely report it to me for my inability to solve the case! At that time, in order to cope with the pressure from the cabinet and His Majesty, I can only hastily close the case!"
There was also a smile on Yang Qingyuan's face, and he was a little cautious, but he was too young!
The two of them walked out of the mansion, and Butler Li, who had gone to the latrine, also hurriedly followed them out.
When Butler Li saw the two of them leaving, he looked panicked and said, "Two adults, this case has not been investigated clearly yet! Why are they leaving now!? What should we do if the murderer is still in the house?
?!"
Yang Qingyuan hesitated, "But I and Zhiyuan still have important matters..."
"This is the villain's fault. The two adults are busy with official duties. It's better to do this. The villain will closely patrol with trusted people in the mansion tonight. If there is any abnormality, I will inform you immediately!"
This Butler Li has indeed seen big events with Li Bailiang, and his words are impeccable.
But Yang Qingyuan's next sentence was beyond his expectation.
"I won't bother Butler Li anymore. I have ordered that Dali Temple be temporarily stationed in Li's Mansion. Firstly, to ensure your safety, and secondly, to prevent the murderer from escaping!"
As soon as these words came out, Butler Li was obviously stunned for a moment. He probably didn't expect Yang Qingyuan to make such a decision, "This..."
"What's wrong!? Is it inconvenient?"
"No! No!" Butler Li immediately explained, "I'm just worried about how to arrange the adults in Dali Temple!"
"It doesn't matter! They are here to handle cases, not to enjoy themselves! You can just arrange as many rooms as you like for them to live in!"
Butler Li looked respectful and didn't even dare to say anything.
"Li Gang!" Yang Qingyuan pointed out a familiar name.
"I'm here!" A familiar figure stood up. It was Li Gang, the patrolman who had captured Kunlun disciples and Xu Jiancheng on the street!
His own martial arts skills are not weak, he has just entered the realm of Tongmai, and because of his success in catching thieves, he was promoted to the rank of head catcher in Zhenyi, and then he was sent to Dali Temple by Yang Qingyuan.
At this time, Li Gang felt that his future was bleak. After all, he once scolded the boss of his current boss (Tie Chengxuan) in the street (Ye Jianhan).
However, Yang Qingyuan didn't care. Instead, he entrusted him with important tasks and made him responsible for the night inspection of Dali Temple, which was regarded as a two-level promotion.
"Li Gang, from now on, you will lead the Dali Temple Anti-Theft Department to arrest thirty people and station them in Li's Mansion. They will prohibit people in the Mansion from communicating with the outside world and prevent the murderer and accomplices from passing on news!"
