Qu Lian spent some money to change seats with the people in the next room, saying only that her master would sit here every time he came.
Qu Lian could talk and shouted "Master" every time, which made people feel comfortable. She changed to a private room without saying anything.
Qu Lian even asked the waiter to bring some snacks and deliver them to the private room next door.
Xu Qingmo was very low-key when she arrived. She walked along the stairs to the private room and the moment she took off her cloak, she was covered with sweat.
Hua Ying quickly wiped it with cloth: "Why is the girl sweating so much?"
"The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the girl is wearing a cloak, she will definitely sweat!" Qu Lian said, bringing a bowl of mung bean soup, "Girl, drink a bowl of mung bean soup to relieve your anger!"
Xu Qingmo glanced at the mung bean soup, then shook his head: "No, I don't like eating this stuff!"
Qu Lian had no choice but to put it down and pick up the round fan at hand to fan Xu Qingmo.
Xu Qingmo took medicine for a low fever yesterday and was infected with murderous intent early this morning. It was hot and muggy now, so he felt a little sleepy.
Some of the private rooms in the theater will have a reclining chair. It just so happened that there was one in Xu Qingmo's private room. Xu Qingmo felt a little sleepy, so he said, "I'll squint for a while!"
Hua Ying and Qu Lian quickly packed up the recliner so that Xu Qingmo could lie down on it.
When the Xu family was returning, halfway through, there was a blockage in front of them. Xu Yanquan felt strange, so he walked up to take a look, and then saw He Wenlin who was busy.
If He Wenlin appeared in this place, something must have happened. Xu Yanquan was a little confused and walked forward: "Wenlin!"
When He Wenlin heard a familiar voice, he turned around and saw Xu Yanquan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. His eyes lit up: "Why are you here? I was thinking of going out to have a drink together when you are free!"
"Didn't I just come back and go pray for blessings? I didn't expect that I was fine when I went there, but I couldn't survive when I came back!" Xu Yanquan looked at the place where the crowd was gathered, "What's going on?"
"Horse thieves!" He Wenlin frowned slightly, "More than twenty, all fugitives, all dead!"
Xu Yanquan was stunned for a moment: "Everyone is dead? That's not a murder case. How could such a case come to you?"
"I happened to be on patrol, and when I walked to the road, I met a citizen who wanted to report a crime, so I came over!" Xu Yanquan looked at He Wenlin and said softly.
Xu Yanquan thought for a while, but still felt strange: "Should I go and take a look?"
"Okay!" He Wenlin thought for a while, then led Xu Yanquan forward, "There should be several people who will do it, one of them is probably a novice, and he was a little hesitant when he started, but the other two were clean and neat!"
Xu Yanquan followed He Wenlin to the place where the corpses were lying. The corpses had been piled up together.
These people were originally horse thieves who robbed homes, and the guards were not very gentle with their corpses. It was normal for some to accidentally lose their arms and legs due to excessive force.
Xu Yanquan walked to a corpse, squatted down, and looked at the fatal injuries on the corpse: "This angle... is the murder weapon a saber?"
He Wenlin shook his head: "No, the wound is not big, it's probably a sword. But the way it was done does look like a saber, so we infer that most of the murderers have served in the military."
Xu Yanquan nodded, stood up and clapped his hands: "What are you going to do about this case?"
"They are just rogues. They have so many murder cases on their bodies. If they die, they will die. Just think of it as the work of Jianghu people!" He Wenlin said coldly.
Xu Yanquan smiled and said: "That's right, Dali Temple won't even want to investigate this case!"
Just when Xu Yanquan patted He Wenlin's shoulder and was about to leave, a guard suddenly came to report: "Sir, a body was found at a waterside pavilion three miles away!"
He Wenlin frowned: "Is he also a horse thief?"
"No, they are two women, like master and servant!" the guard said softly.
He Wenlin frowned slightly: "Why are there still corpses? Let's go take a look!"
"Then I'll go back first..."
"Yanquan, what's wrong?" Marquis Ningyuan was a little surprised when he saw that Xu Yanquan had not come back, so he came over.
Xu Yanquan looked back at the corpses not far away, and then said: "Many horse thieves were killed. Let's take a detour to avoid scaring mother!"
Ning Yuanhou followed Xu Yanquan's gaze and saw the bright red all over the ground. He frowned slightly: "Let me go and see with you! Your mother is not a weak person who doesn't want to see blood!"
Marquis Ning Yuan is willing to go with him, which is naturally the best thing for He Wenlin. With an elder supporting him, people will inevitably feel more at ease.
"Master Marquis, please follow me!" He Wenlin took the lead and walked in front.
Xu Yanquan looked at He Wenlin who was leading Ning Yuanhou forward, and couldn't help but frown, but in the end he could only follow. He knew best what He Wenlin was thinking.
Three miles away is not far or close, but the group of people walked for a while to get there.
From a distance, Xu Yanquan saw someone hanging on the white silk. It happened that a guard came forward to report. The guard listened and He Wenlin's face gradually became heavy.
Just as Xu Yanquan continued to move forward, He Wenlin suddenly pulled Xu Yanquan: "Family members of the deceased are forbidden to come forward!"
"What did you say?" Xu Yanquan's face froze.
He Wenlin looked at Xu Yanquan and then at Ning Yuanhou: "The girl who was hanged was the girl in the house!"
"What did you say!" Xu Yanquan grabbed He Wenlin's lapel, "He Wenlin..."
"The deceased is the second daughter of the Xu family, Xu Qingling!" He Wenlin looked at Xu Yanquan and said word by word
At these words, Marquis Ning Yuan stood aside and understood clearly what He Wenlin said: "The girl who died inside is our girl, so naturally it is up to us to identify her!"
He Wenlin paused, and finally had to get out of the way.
Xu Qingling was hung under the eaves, with her eyes half-opened, her tongue slightly sticking out, her face blue and purple, as if she had suffocated to death.
She was naked and hung from the beam.
When Wu Zuo arrived, he quickly put the person down and found a white cloth to cover him up.
When Ning Yuanhou and Xu Yanquan came to recognize their relatives, Wu Zuo lifted up the white cloth and revealed Xu Qingling's face: "He died of suffocation. He was indeed hanged by Bai Ling!"
"Any clues?" He Wenlin asked softly.
Wu Zuo shook his head: "Looking at the crime scene, it seems to be a suicide. The woman has bruises all over her body, most likely from being bullied. The woman on the ground was pierced by the horse thief's sword and her lungs were pierced, and she died in pain!"
When Marquis Ningyuan saw Xu Qingling's pale face, he couldn't help but frown. After a long time, he said to Xu Yanquan: "Go and invite your second uncle!"
