Chapter Eighty-Three: White Bones in the Sun (25)
While being surprised, Li remembered to ask what the person in front of him was, "I don't know your official position is..."
"This is Mr. Li, a big man invited by Lord Du from the capital. He is responsible for co-operating with Master Long to handle the nameless bone case!" Captain Liu finished his introduction with a cold expression, and stood up and pointed outside the door, "Inside, please choose a room yourself, stay inside and don't come out, don't make it difficult for brothers to do!"
"Mr. Li Er, Captain Liu, it's not what I did. Please think twice! No matter how stupid I am, I can't be so stupid that I can attack Guanmai on my own territory and put myself in a state of unlawfulness!" Li Zheng said anxiously.
Li Yanzhou sneered, "The bones were dug out this morning. In just one day, someone wanted to set fire and kill people and destroy corpses. It is not yet certain whether the deceased was from Daijiazhuang, but the murderer must have something to do with Daijiazhuang! He dared to put medicine in the ancestral temple and came and went freely, proving that this person's identity is not simple. Perhaps he met Li Zheng and the old clan. Then, if the house arrest Li Zheng may lead to the murderer!"
"How could it be..."
"Why not? If Li Zheng is not the murderer, or has never covered up the murderer, then my reasoning just now is completely logical!"
Apart from shaking his head, Li Zheng couldn't speak anymore. The old patriarch was stunned and his expression was extremely complicated.
At this time, the ancestral temple manager brought two women in the kitchen. The three of them knelt down to Li Yanzhou as soon as they entered the door. They all hurriedly proved their innocence, "The official must be very careful. We didn't get any sweating pills and did nothing!"
Li Yanzhou asked sharply: "Did you always be together from choosing vegetables to the food being cooked and then serving it to the table? Has anyone left halfway?"
"We are all here. There are many officials today and we need to cook a lot of dishes, so everyone is so busy that they don't touch the ground. Even the work of collecting water and chopping firewood is asked for help. We are responsible for the cooking, so how dare we be lazy?"
“Has anyone else been to the kitchen halfway through?”
"Yes, Xiao Liuzi who carries water, Xiao Wuzi who brings firewood, and... Oh, there is also the eldest son who comes here to deliver tomorrow's menu so that we can prepare in advance."
Li Yanzhou's eyebrows thumped, "Big Young Master?"
"The eldest son is Li Zheng's eldest son and his eldest grandson, and his name is Dai Yu." The old patriarch hurriedly explained, "The delivery of the menu was arranged by Lao Yu. The original intention was to hope that all the officials would eat and drink well these days when they lived in the ancestral temple, for fear of neglecting the officials."
Li Yanzhou nodded and was about to speak when Zhong Chu's shout came from the yard, "Is there anyone? Come out and help!"
When a group of people rushed out, they saw that Zhong Chu was so tired that he was sank on the ground, and the person lying side by side with her was Zhang Qing!
Zhong Chu panted: "Zhang Shuban was stabbed in the abdomen. Xingtu has sealed his acupoints, but the wound needs to be treated immediately."
"Skull!" Captain Liu found something that Zhong Chu tied to his waist and shouted in surprise: "The corpse has been retrieved!"
Zhong Chu untied his head and handed it to Captain Liu, "Don't be too happy too early. I don't know if the other corpses can be retrieved."
"Where is the Dragon Star Map?" Li Yanzhou looked around and couldn't help but raise the volume. "Why didn't he come back with you?"
