"Sir," Huo Anu said in a low voice, "Zhao Yu is still impeccable! I pretended to be drunk and tested him several times, but he still didn't show any flaws!"
"Well..." Xu Zun nodded slightly, thought for a few seconds, and then asked, "Where is he now?"
"According to your instructions, let him follow the blind girl!" Huo Anu said, "Do you really think there is something wrong with the blind girl?"
"It's just intuition," Xu Zun said. "It may not be accurate, but it never hurts to check."
Phew...
Unexpectedly, Huo Anu didn't know what he thought of, and he actually burst into laughter.
Seeing Xu Zun looking at her, she quickly said:
"It's nothing, I just want to laugh when I think of the way Zhao Yu bit your ears and was teased by you in the Hou Mansion.
"hehe……
"I think you are right," Huo Anu said, "Zhao Yu either has no problems or he has too many problems."
"No," Xu Zun shook his head and said, "There must be something wrong with him, but I don't know what the problem is with him!"
"Oh..." Huo Anu still couldn't hide his smile.
"What about Ku Niang? What does he think?" Xu Zun asked again.
"It's normal," Huo Anu replied, "I just feel curious and confused, but I have never expressed my opinion on whether Ku Niang is Liu Dong's wife."
"Interesting..." Xu Zun's mouth showed a trace of amusement, becoming more and more curious about Zhao Yu's identity.
"Sir," Huo Anu asked again, "then what should we do next?"
"Tomorrow," Xu Zun said, "the governor will definitely ask me to thoroughly investigate the case of the serial disappearance of girls and the case of the corpse of a woman in monk clothes. However, I have no clue about the breakthrough of these two cases yet and need to think about it carefully."
"Sir," Huo Anu asked, "What if the governor doesn't let you investigate these two cases? What if you are asked to return to the Wude City Government Office to take up the post?"
"Haha..." Xu Zun looked at Huo Anu and nodded with a smile, "Anu, you have only been with me for a few days, but you have made great progress!"
"Of course," Huo Anu said proudly, "I am not the kind of person with well-developed limbs and a simple mind."
"Well," Xu Zun nodded slightly and said, "If the governor doesn't let me investigate these two cases, then I will have to investigate him! Haha..."
…
The next morning.
Xu Zun took Zhao Yu and Huo Anu to the wreckage of Lujia Bookstore.
Xu Zun and Huo Anu were radiant and full of energy, while Zhao Yu looked tired and yawned repeatedly because he was following the blind girl.
After the blind girl finished singing, she returned to the inn to rest. There was nothing unusual, so Zhao Yu followed her for half the night in vain.
The fire in the Lujia Bookstore was extremely severe. Apart from broken walls and tiles and collapsed beams, almost nothing was left.
Even so, under the orders of head catcher Ju Ran, the policemen of Shangyuan City were still searching the ruins carefully.
At the same time, they also sent people to inquire around to see if they could find witnesses?
"Master Xu," Ju Ran reported to Xu Zunhui, "yesterday, we sent people to visit Dr. Na Lu's relatives and friends. These people confirmed that there was nothing unusual about Dr. Na Lu's family before he disappeared."
"Oh..." Xu Zun stepped into the ruins and asked as he walked, "Tell me more about Dr. Lu! What is his personality like?"
"This..." Ju Ran was startled and quickly replied, "Dr. Lu is a humble person and gets along well with relatives and friends.
"Also, Dr. Lu is good at reading and writing on weekdays and has no bad habits."
"I heard," Xu Zun stopped in the ruins somewhere and said, "this Dr. Lu has quite a lot of family savings, right?"
"Yes," Ju Ran replied, "relying on the relationship with the printing factory, the business of Lu's Bookstore is particularly good."
"Hmm..." Xu Zun hummed, but he squatted down and looked at something.
At this moment, they were in the center of the bookstore. Everything in front of them was scorched black, and they could only vaguely make out some charred and burned bookshelves.
Looking at these scorched marks, Xu Zun began to recall the situation on the day of the fire. The flames were sudden and fierce, and a fireball exploded in just one blow.
If he and Huo Anu entered the bookstore at that time, even if they were not burned to death by the fire, they would definitely be seriously injured.
I wonder if the person who set the fire did it on purpose?
"Oh, how could this happen?"
Xu Zun was thinking hard when a girl's voice like a silver bell suddenly came from behind him.
No way?
Xu Zun was secretly startled and quickly turned around, only to see that the person standing behind him was indeed Miss Lu Mingyue, the daughter of the Marquis!
Today, Miss Lu is wearing a beautiful and refined white dress, with a purple fur jacket, and a pair of beautiful big eyes that are as clear as water. The whole person is like a butterfly dancing in the wind, and like a fairy who is agile and thorough.
Behind Lu Mingyue, there was also a Taoist priest with immortal style, it was Wei Beihui, the guardian of the Hou Mansion.
"Miss Lu," Xu Zun was speechless, "Why are you here?"
"Didn't we agree?" Lu Mingyue jumped in front of Xu Zun lively, "Should I follow my brother to investigate the case?"
What!?
Hearing this, Ju Ran, Zhao Yu, Huo Anu and others almost fell down.
"Miss Lu, we...we are not saying..."
Xu Zungang wanted to plead his case. Didn't he say that he would become sworn friends after the case was solved?
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 be able to come out and investigate the case with him, Lu Mingyue must have lied to the Marquis about being sworn sworn friends with him!
This girl...
"Little sister," Xu Zun had no choice but to act with her with a grimace, "Brother, I haven't found any clues yet. When I find the clues, it's not too late to ask you to investigate the case together!"
"Alas~~" Lu Mingyue pouted, "Brother, what you said is different. When you find the clues, what else can I learn from you?
"Besides, Xiaofeng and I are very familiar with each other, so maybe we can be of some help!"
His words were reasonable and well-founded, leaving Xu Zun unable to refuse.
In desperation, Xu Zun had no choice but to continue to ask the head catcher Ju Ran: "Ju catcher, have you found anything in the ruins?"
"I only found some scattered copper coins, silver, jade and other items," Ju Ran replied, "but compared with the Lu family's financial resources, it is obviously far behind."
"Yes, yes, all their money is deposited in the bank!" Lu Mingyue quickly interrupted, "Xiao Feng told me personally that her father was afraid that the money would not be safe at home."
"Miss Lu, where...which bank exists?" Ju Ran asked hurriedly.
"I don't know," Lu Mingyue replied simply, "Go check it out!"
"well……"
Ju Ran was already sweating on his forehead, so he immediately called in a few detectives and sent them to major banks to find out the news.
"Master Xu, oh no...Brother Xu!" Lu Mingyue shouted, getting closer and closer. "After Xiaofeng's family disappeared, I came to the bookstore to look for her. Later, I climbed over the wall and came in to look for her, but I didn't see anyone..."
"Oh?" Xu Zun was surprised, "Have you been here?"
"Yes," Lu Mingyue replied, "I came in, looked around, and found no one, so I climbed over the wall and left again!"
"No abnormalities found?" Xu Zun asked again.
"No?" Lu Mingyue shook his head.
"Hmm..." Xu Zun thought for a while and said, "Miss Lu, you came at the right time today. Regarding the disappearance of Lu Xiaofeng's family, I do have a few questions to ask you..."
