Although what he said was incoherent, Li Mobai still understood it.
Yesterday he and Carpenter Lu went to deliver goods together and didn't come back until evening. Lu Bangchui walked hurriedly because he was hungry, but Carpenter Lu walked slowly and fell behind.
In order to verify what he said, Li Mobai sent a little goat to call Lu Bangchui's neighbor.
Some of these neighbors saw them driving their carriages during the day to make deliveries.
Some people also saw Lu Bangchui coming back alone when it got dark.
This proves that the robust mallet did not lie!
At this time Wang Erhu said: "Sir, although Lu Bangchui did not lie, it does not prove that he is not suspicious! Because Lu Bangchui may have returned after killing Carpenter Lu."
Li Mobai nodded, walked down to the court, and carefully observed Lu Bangmai.
He looked into Lu Bangmai's eyes for a long, long time.
He wanted to make sure whether this Ludangmai was really stupid, or whether he had been pretending to be crazy!
However, Li Mobai looked at it for a while and found no flaws. This strong mallet did not seem to be fake.
Wang Erhu added: "My lord, Carpenter Lu is alone and has no children. This Lu Bangchui was Carpenter Lu's nephew. After his parents died, he was adopted by Carpenter Lu and has been learning the craft with Carpenter Lu. Lu Bangchui Although people are stupid, carpenters are not bad at their craftsmanship. Carpenter Lu is diligent and hard working together with Lu Bangmai, and he has indeed saved a lot of money over the years. If Carpenter Lu was killed by Lu Bangmai, You can inherit the inheritance yourself.”
Li Mobai nodded slightly after hearing this. According to this analysis, Lu Bangmai's murder motive was sufficient.
At this time, Li Hu also said: "I also heard that Carpenter Lu is an iron rooster. He hides all the money he earns. He is usually a very stingy person. This Carpenter Lu is stupid, and Carpenter Lu must not be willing to give him anything." His money. Lu Bangchui gradually built up resentment in his heart, and maybe one day he couldn't bear it any more, so he took action to kill someone."
Lu Bangchui also heard these words. He kept shouting: "No, I didn't kill the master! It's not what you said! My master is very good to me, I didn't kill anyone!"
Yan Qi suddenly remembered something and asked, "Does Carpenter Lu like to gamble?"
Wang Erhu said: "I've never heard of him gambling. Carpenter Lu is a tough guy. He never gets in and out, so he shouldn't gamble."
Yan Qidao: "Lu Bangmai is stupid, so it's even more impossible to gamble! Why is Carpenter Nalu holding a dice in his hand?"
The little goat said: "Hey! What's so strange about this? Maybe it was picked up on the road!"
Wang Erhu said: "Don't talk nonsense, maybe this is an important clue?"
After some interrogation, it was found that Lu Zhuangmai's alibi at the time of the crime was indeed insufficient.
The murder weapon, the carved knife, was probably carried by Lu Bangmai to kill Carpenter Lu.
Then sealing the throat with a knife will make sense!
The fingerprints on the door handle also point directly to the mallet.
But Yan Qi felt that the case was still confusing!
She analyzed: "Lu Bangmai doesn't look like a person who can kill people! He is stupid and stupid, how can he still love money so much? What's even more suspicious is that dice, why did it appear at the scene of the crime again?"
After Li Mobai listened to Yan Qi's analysis, it was difficult to finalize the case for a while.
He then decided to temporarily imprison Luangmai and continue to investigate the clues later.
However, this case also gave Li Mobai a bit of a headache!
There was no clue, and Li Mobai didn't know how to investigate later.
But then again, there is no time limit for this case, just investigate slowly.
Moreover, in the files he reviewed, he also found that many cases ended without any cure, and the murderer could not be found at all, so in the end they had no choice but to drop the case.
Not every case can be solved!
Early the next morning, Li Hu came over to send a message, saying that his father Li Yuanwai had arranged a boat trip and would invite Li Mobai, Yan Qi and others to swim in the lake and drink together.
When Yan Qi heard this at first, she didn't want to go. After all, she had always had a cold personality.
What's more, there was another murder in the Buddhist temple just now, and she wanted to continue investigating the clues.
But Wang Erhu, Xiao Yang and other government servants were so happy that they jumped up when they heard it.
In addition, Li Hu boasted again, saying how big and beautiful Fengming Lake was and that it was a wonder in the world, which aroused everyone's curiosity.
Before Yan Qi could say anything, several other people had already packed up and were about to set off with Yan Qi in hand.
"Mr. Qi, let's go together! It's rare for everyone to relax together!" Wang Erhu persuaded with a smile.
Li Mobai also saw Yan Qi's thoughts, so he said: "Yan Qi, you can also investigate the case while traveling around the lake. Then we can have a good chat with Mr. Li. He has lived in Dongping County for so many years, and he must know Carpenter Lu of many things.”
Li Hu also persuaded: "Miss Qi, let's go together! My father is a spy from Dongping County, and he knows everything!"
"That's right, there is no contradiction between visiting the lake and investigating the case! Visiting the lake is investigating the case, and investigating the case is visiting the lake!" said the little goat.
Yan Qi didn't want to dampen everyone's interest, and what Li Mobai said made sense, so she agreed to go together.
When Li Hu got on the carriage, Yan Qi caught a glimpse of his left forearm wrapped in gauze, which seemed to be injured. He asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"
"There was a thief at home the night before. It's a minor injury, but it's okay!"
Yan Qi asked: "What is the specific situation?"
Li Hu said: "We were robbed at home the night before! The man in black's martial arts was pretty good, and he could do more than a dozen moves in my hands! After more than a dozen moves, he gradually became invincible! I fought with him fiercely to the bridge, and was about to capture him . He fired a hidden weapon out of desperation, and I subconsciously blocked it with my hands! The man in black jumped into the river and escaped. The other servants and I are not good at water, so we could only watch helplessly, but there was nothing we could do!"
After hearing this, Wang Erhu said: "It's okay, it's okay! Maybe he's just a little thief! Seeing that Mr. Li's family is rich, he came to steal things. But I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm just afraid that thieves will miss him! I'll just ask my family to strengthen their defense later!"
Fengming Lake is located in the north of Dongping County. After a short carriage ride, we arrived at the lake.
At this time, when winter turns to spring, the weather is pleasant and the flowers are red and the willows are green.
As soon as they got off the car, they were moved by the beautiful scenery on the lake.
The lake is clear and you can see many fish swimming around. There are also many people fishing by the lake.
The breeze blows and the air is fresh and refreshing.
Not far away on the shore, a beautiful and magnificent huge painting boat was parked there.
Officer Li is waiting in the cabin.
He had already prepared wine, vegetables, fruits and vegetables in the boat, and had more than twenty maids and servants waiting on him in the boat.
I have to say that the life of a rich person is comfortable!
Officer Li saw them from a distance and stepped off the boat to greet them.
Li Mobai is now the county magistrate, and many people are very respectful and polite to him.
Li Mobai naturally had to act like a county magistrate and look more stable.
Although he was only in his twenties and still a young man, he had to pretend to be mature and steady.
Yan Qi glanced at Li Mobai and thought to herself that even though this guy wasn't noisy or crazy, he was actually quite a man!
While Li Mobai and Yuan Li were exchanging pleasantries, Li Hu, Wang Erhu and Little Goat had already happily run to the boat.
"Master Li, please board the ship!" Mr. Li extended his hand and said.
