see you tonight princess

Chapter 110

It is no small matter that a living person suddenly disappeared, and it was Mr. Zhizhou who disappeared.After Xia Lvsi learned about Zhizhou's disappearance, she knew that she would not be able to leave again.

She rushed to the state government office to inquire, only to find out that Ma Zhizhou had ordered no one to disturb him after returning to the mansion last night, and then went back to the small courtyard where she lived.

The family didn't dare to disturb them until this afternoon when they found out that he hadn't come out, so they went in to look for him under the pretext of delivering food to him.After entering, I realized that he was not in the small courtyard.The servants of Zhizhou Prefecture looked for him everywhere, but found that he could not be found no matter what.

Jiangzhou City Governor Yin knew about this, so he hastily closed the city gate, and the whole city searched for traces of Ma Zhizhou.

Although the matter was big, it was not Xia Lusi's concern. After she learned about the situation, she had a polite conversation with Fu Yin, and said that if she needed Xia's help with something, just ask, and then went back to Liuyuan.

But that night, when Xia Lvsi just fell asleep, he found someone walking on the roof.Xia Lusi shouted sharply: "Who!"

The figure flashed across the wall and escaped from the courtyard. Xia Lvsi chased out of the bedroom and threw something from the direction of the shadow. Xia Lvsi took it into his hand and took a closer look. It was a stone wrapped with cloth strips. There are characters drawn with charcoal black on it, and the content is: "If you want to find someone, come here."

Xia Lusi narrowed his eyes and took a look.Originally, she thought that Zhizhou's disappearance was just a simple and strange incident, but judging from this, this incident has a strange taste.

After all, Xia Lvsi was a criminal police officer. Although she traveled back to 1000 years ago, she was busy making money and no longer involved in the case of Yamen and Dali Temple.But the case came to her, which aroused Xia Lusi's interest in solving the case.

She stuffed the cloth into her bosom, ran three times, five times and two times over the wall, and ran into the night after the black-clothed figure.Xia Lvsi kept running after him, the man in black was so light, and his body was as light as a swallow, Xia Lvsi followed closely all the way with his extraordinary endurance and skillful tracking skills.

Xia Lusi chased the man in black from the east to the north outside the city, when the man in black suddenly turned around, Xia Lusi drew out the willow-leaf soft sword at his waist and flew forward, "Stop! Who are you? Make things clear."

Unexpectedly, the man in black was very skilled, Xia Lusi flew to capture him, but she abruptly parried Xia Lusi's sword and turned back with a palm. A "bang" slap on Xia Lusi's back.

"Hiss!" Xia Lusi grinned in pain.But she is not a vegetarian, and if you want to hit her, you must pay the price.Her willow-leaf sword turned around and hooked. If it was an ordinary sword, the blade would have passed the person, but the sudden hook of the willow-leaf sword turned into an arch, and the blade pierced straight into that person. At the human calf—

"Ah—" the man in black screamed in pain, flipped over to the bushes and fled quickly.

It was also at this time that Xia Lvsi followed her out of the woods, and she suddenly realized that after turning for a long time, she turned from the east end of the woods to the west end.It seemed that the man in black didn't want to lead her somewhere at all, but deliberately let her chase after him, and then went around in circles in this area.

This is not right.Xia Lusi stopped to observe the surrounding situation carefully. This is a forest in the north of the city. Because it is far away from the river and the terrain is high, the surrounding area is mostly dry land with few people. The bustle of those big farms.

Xia Lvsi just came out, and saw nearby villagers lighting torches to drive away wild boars at night.If there was any noise at night, the man in black would definitely flee immediately. Xia Lusi knew that there would be nothing to gain tonight.She decided to wait until the daytime to investigate carefully, so she returned to Liuyuan.

In the second half of the night, she fell asleep for a while, and when it was dawn, Xia Lvsi was awakened by the sound of Xiaozhu knocking on the door.She got up, changed her clothes, opened the door, rubbed her eyes and asked, "What's wrong? It's still early."

Xiao Zhuzi scratched his head with a wry smile: "My lord, it's not that I want to disturb you. It's the news from Jiangzhou City that Ma Zhizhou has found him. He, he's dead."

"What?! Dead!" Xia Lvsi was shocked.

"That's right... was killed. And according to the spies' report, it was a strange case." Xiao Zhuzi said.

"A strange case?" Xia Lvsi was completely awake.She turned around and walked out: "Go, go and have a look!"

-------------------------------------

Xia Lvsi came to the scene of the crime. This is an empty warehouse. This warehouse is built with bricks and tiles, and it is very sealed. Because the owner's family went to a different place for business, it has been vacant for many years.

Since nightfall yesterday, Jiangzhou City Governor sent several teams to search for Ma Zhizhou throughout the night.The master of Ma Zhizhou also led a team of government servants from the state government to search around early in the morning.When they found this area, one of the yamen servants found the warehouse, and the door was tightly twisted by thick copper wires, so he hurriedly shouted.

The master walked to the warehouse door, knocked hard on the door, and shouted loudly. After a few minutes, someone in the warehouse answered, and the people inside also knocked on the door.The master hurriedly ordered someone to find pliers and iron brazing, and pried open the thick copper wire on the door, and only then did the three people be rescued from the warehouse.

Among these three people, one is Zhao Wu, a wealthy household in the west of the city, and the second is Zhang Tian, ​​a landlord in the north of the city.The third one was actually a dead person, and this person was Ma Zhizhou.

He was killed, and the murder weapon was a large yellow-white pebble next to him. Someone smashed his head with a stone, and his brains and blood flowed all over the place. The other two were also sprayed all over. The scene was very tragic.

Xia Mengfu was shocked by this incident, Xia Mengfu's sedan chair was parked under the shade of a tree outside the warehouse, and Fu Yin bowed and smiled apologetically, and took a big paper fan to fan Xia Mengfu: "My lord prime minister, you should ask this matter yourself, It is indeed a blessing to the people of Jiangzhou, and I am honored and grateful to the officials."

After hearing what the policemen who came to handle the case told, Xia Lusi said to Xia Mengfu and Fu Yin: "I want to bring those two people here for questioning."

"Ask." Xia Mengfu nodded.

At this time, the two rescued people, Zhao Wu and Zhang Tianzheng, were trembling and weeping in fright, the blood all over their bodies looked dazzling and embarrassing.Xia Lusi ordered the two of them to be taken outside the warehouse and forced them to sit under the wall not far from Xia Mengfu's sedan chair.

Xia Lvsi took the two people away from the scene, forced them to maintain a movement, and then asked them in a calm and emotionless tone. This is a method that can eliminate interference and calm down the flustered people quickly.Sure enough, the two quickly calmed down.

Then all the people gathered in a circle, and a field interrogation immediately began.

Xia Lvsi said in a calm and emotionless tone, "Tell me what happened."

Zhao Wu said: "I received a secret letter from Zhizhou at night, saying that there was going to be a change in the Xia family in Jiangzhou, and there was cheap land to occupy, so I came to the nearby ruined temple as agreed."

"I also received such a letter, and I also went to the ruined temple! I didn't see anyone there, but I was dazzled by them." Zhang Tian rushed to say.

"When we woke up, we found that I was in the warehouse. Besides me, there was him, and there was Master Zhizhou. Master Zhizhou was very excited and frightened. He yelled and cried, saying that someone was going to kill him, that someone was going to kill him. He caught him and killed him."

"So the three of us were very scared. There was no light in there, we couldn't see our fingers, and we didn't know where we were. We found the door, but we couldn't open it no matter how much we kicked and beat. Then we shouted together. No one came. Zhizhou said that someone was going to kill us, and everyone was very afraid that the villain who had captured us would come in and kill us, so we removed a wooden bar from a wooden frame as a door bolt in the dark, and fastened the door from the inside."

"Lock the door from the inside, we feel safer. At least the bad guys can't come in from the outside. Even if they force the door to come in, there will be movement, and we can move accordingly. After the door was locked, I fell asleep again for some reason. In the past, I woke up during the period, the house was always dark, I don’t know how long, I heard someone knocking on the door calling us, I ran to open the door, the door opened, and that’s it..."

After hearing this, Fu Yin stroked his beard and concluded: "The door is bolted from the inside, and there are no windows in this warehouse, which means that the murderer is you...one of them."

"Yes, it was Zhang Tian who killed someone! Master Xia, Master Fu Yin, Ming Jian, look at the blood on his hands!" Zhao Wu shouted.

"Don't spit blood, you killed it! When I was sleeping, I felt someone pulling my leg. You must have got up and killed Zhizhou!" Zhang Tian also shouted.

"It wasn't me, he killed it!"

"It's him!"

"Ah..." Fu Yin rubbed his hands together.

Xia Lvsi said: "Wait a minute. These two people have never had any enmity with Zhizhou. If they said that they came here in the middle of the night to discuss matters after receiving Zhizhou's letter, it means that they usually have a good personal relationship with Zhizhou. After the three were trapped, they stayed together. Try to protect yourself, the motive of committing the crime is unreasonable."

"Who did that?" Fu Yin said, "It must have been done by the person who stunned them and tied them up in the warehouse!"

Xia Lvsi pondered and said, "The outside of the warehouse was chained and the inside was tied with a bolt. People outside couldn't get in, and people inside couldn't get out. This is a double-chamber murder case!"

"Oh!"

"hiss--"

"A strange case too!"

When the people present heard this word, it was the first time they heard such a thrilling, mysterious and exciting adjective as "double secret room murder", and they were all amazed.Even Xia Mengfu couldn't help but lift the curtain of the sedan chair and look outside.

"If there is such a person, who would do this? Has Ma Zhizhou offended anyone before?" Xia Mengfu asked.

At this time, the master rolled and knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "Master Zhizhou went to the willow garden of Xia Shizi before he disappeared! Zhizhou quarreled with Xia Shizi, and was finally kicked out by Shizi. Zhizhou was killed After the beating, I was very frightened and discouraged. After returning to the mansion, I shut the door and didn't know when I disappeared and died...My Lord Zhizhou, you died so unjustly..."

"Ah?" Xia Lusi was puzzled, how did this plot develop into this.

"Ah, here," Fu Yin turned his head and said to Xia Lvsi: "What do you say, Shizi Xia? What did you do on the night that Master Zhizhou met you? Where are you? Do you have any witnesses?"

"Hey, the flood has rushed to the Dragon King Temple." Xia Lvsi laughed at the absurdity.She, a criminal policeman who is used to interrogating, is now being interrogated as a suspect. "After Zhizhou left, I washed up and went to bed in Liuyuan."

"This... doesn't prove that you didn't go out and kidnap Zhao Wu Zhangtian and Zhizhou in a daze." Fu Yin said and turned to look at the policeman beside him.

The arrester cupped his hands and reported: "Prime Minister Xia, Mr. Fu Yin, someone saw Prince Xia passing by with a sword in his hand last night."

For a moment, everyone turned their heads to look at Xia Lusi in unison.

Xia Lvsi put away her smile now, she suddenly realized that there is a way!Last night, a man in black led her from Liuyuan in the east of the city to the outskirts of the north of the city, and then kept circling around here. The illusion of time!

Maybe it was like some kind of deliberate arrangement from the night before when Ma Zhizhou suddenly came to Menaqi to order the book and said that he would take back Jiangzhou.Xia Lusi's face turned livid, and she clenched her fists tightly.

"Ah this!!" Fu Yin couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and said, "Xia Shizi, is it true that you showed up here late last night with weapons? Is it serious that you had an affair with Zhizhou? What if Zhizhou was the last place he went before he disappeared?" The willow garden, the lower officials will conduct a search according to the law."

Xia Lusi said in a low voice: "There is no need to search, Zhizhou did come to my Liuyuan before he disappeared. When he left, he left out the contract on the ownership of Jiangzhou signed by my father and me. The prefect can send someone to follow him." The boy next to me will fetch it."

"Oh my god!" There was a burst of exclamation around.Everyone knows that Jiangzhou is the Xia family's sphere of influence. If the agreement is related to Jiangzhou's ownership, then it is a big deal.That is to say, for this big event, if Xia Lusi really has the evil intention to kill Zhizhou, it is possible!

"Zhizhou is the head of Jiangzhou, and now he has been murdered by someone, and his death is so tragic, it is no small matter. Xia Shizi, you are seriously suspected, and should be detained and interrogated according to the law. This, the next official will be greatly offended—" Fu Yin was in a state of confusion , pacing back and forth.

As soon as Fu Yin's words fell, the policemen and yamen servants surrounding him were about to rush up to arrest him.Xia Mengfu jumped out of the sedan chair, he shouted: "Why, do you still want to arrest my daughter?"

Fu Yin wiped sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief: "Don't dare, don't dare, I don't dare—"

Xia Lvsi raised his chin arrogantly and stubbornly, and said coldly: "If you don't dare, just handle it impartially. Are you afraid that you will arrest me for what I didn't do! All the evidence will clear my innocence. "
