Chapter 181 Killing someone in a secret room

The reason why Ade made things difficult for Li Yi was not because of the order of the Wang Zhuan, but because of personal grudges.

Last time, Ade was ordered to follow Chu Ping and Li Yi to interrogate Lin Bangshu, but he was deceived and had no effect. Later, he was scolded by the King of Kings.

Li Yi breathed a sigh and sneered: "Chu Ping, go and invite Captain Yun. When I saw it, who couldn't afford to take care of it."

Ade was a little panicked when he heard this. He couldn't afford to offend the crazy woman in Captain Yun. Even the chief clerk gave her three points of shame. What did he think of?

But he was a little unwilling to let Li Yi in just like this and could not lose face.

Just as he was hesitating, a sudden gust of palm wind blew, and a slap was instantly added to his face.

Ade was shocked and angry, and was about to fight back, but he saw the face of the King of Lords.

"Big, sir..."

Wang Zhubu's face looked extremely ugly, he snorted coldly at Ade, then turned his head to squint Li Yi.

At this time, Zhao County Wei also walked out. He looked around and said lightly: "Mr. Wang, Brother Li, come in quickly. Everyone knows that a good dog doesn't block the way, so there is no need to be accused of the mad dog."

After hearing this, Wang Zhubu's face turned pale.

Li Yi didn't know what the two of them were fighting against, so he had to follow Zhao County Wei.

However, he had a question in his mind. Didn’t Chu Ping say before that if Yun Zhaozhao didn’t catch the murderer, would Yun Zhaozhao kill all these people?

But the Zhao County Wei and Wang Zhuanzhu did not seem to be threatened.

He glanced at Chu Ping, Chu Ping smiled embarrassedly, leaned over and whispered, "That's my nonsense. I think you have a different relationship with the boss. If you don't say that, why would you come?"

Li Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly. Chu Ping, this guy, used his cleverness in this kind of place.

At this time, Zhao County Wei spoke: "Brother Li Xiao, have you heard of the case?"

Li Yi said: "I heard Chu Ping say something about it. I haven't known yet."

Zhao County Magistrate nodded: "Then I will tell you what happened yesterday."

It turned out that yesterday, Zhang Yun invited all three powerhouses from the county government to the top scholar building on the grounds of discussing major events.

As for why we didn’t discuss it in the county government, we came to the Zhuangyuan Building. That was because the matter discussed was an important matter of sending troops to the Northern Han and Liao countries, and we must not be disclosed.

县衙里人多眼杂,自然不是个好去处.

Therefore, they closed the fourth floor of the Zhuangyuan Building and ordered the officers to encircle the third floor. The only one who could go up and down was the shopkeeper Wan of the Zhuangyuan Building.

The matter was discussed at noon to the hour of Hai. The few people were exhausted, so the matter came to an end and they went back to their houses to rest.

At one moment, Manager Wan went to deliver water to Lord Zhang Yun. Through the window paper, he found that Lord Zhang Yun was still lying on the shore to work.

He knocked on the door and asked a few more times, but did not hear Zhang Yun's response, so he put the tea at the door and retreated on his own.

The next morning, Zhao County Wei came to Zhang Yun's door and found that the tea cup in front of the door was pouring, and the tea water flowed all over the ground, and noticed an abnormality.

County Magistrate Zhao knocked on the door, but no one answered inside, and the door was tied up from inside.

Zhao County Wei was anxious, and said "offended" and smashed the door suddenly. After the door was smashed open, he saw Zhang Yun's body lying on the table.

Li Yi listened to it and doubts arose in his heart.

"Is the door tied up from the inside?"

Zhao County Magistrate nodded: "That's right, after I knocked the door open, I knocked the wooden door bolt to be tied into two pieces."

"Where are other passages in the room, such as windows or secret rooms?" Li Yi asked.

Zhao County Wei said: "I asked Manager Wan, there was no other passage. Outside the window was a clearing space of seven or eight feet high, which was not accessible to ordinary people, and the windows were locked."

Li Yi's face darkened: "So, it's another secret room to kill someone..."

The murder case in the secret room has always been the most brain-struggling, and three of the four suspects are all people with authority in Pingji County, which makes Li Yi very troubled.

Zhao County Wei sighed: "The matters discussed with us are extremely important. I am not convenient for me to reveal some things to you.

But his death is definitely not a trivial matter. If the superiors personally send someone to investigate, no matter I, the county magistrate and the chief clerk, they will probably be responsible.

At that point, perhaps dismissal is the smallest punishment. The most difficult thing is to be exiled to a remote area to be an official. In that case, life is worse than death.

So…I hope you can solve the case as soon as possible.”

After saying that, he looked at Li Yi sincerely, and the plea and trust in his eyes moved Li Yi quite.

"I... do my best." Li Yi said solemnly.

Since he got along with Zhao County Wei, this adult has helped him a lot, and it is time for him to repay this kindness now.

"Sir, let's take me to the crime scene."

"good."

The murder occurred in the innermost room on the fourth floor of the Zhuangyuan Building. At this time, several servants had already been guarded by the house, one of which was Yun Zhaozhao.

Yun Zhaozhao's face looked very bad, pale, with a shallow black circle in her eyes, and her eyes were also very dull, as if she was thinking about something.

"Zhaozhao." Gan Ci walked over quickly and held Yun Zhaozhao's hand.

Yun Zhaozhao subconsciously struggled for a while, and after seeing clearly that it was Gan Ci, she held Gan Ci tightly with her backhand: "Sister Gan..."

Her voice was hoarse and dry, and it seemed that she had not yet dripped in.

Li Yi guessed that after the fierce fight with Mr. Mo last night, she was guarding the third floor of the Zhuangyuan Building. Now, it is estimated that she hasn't had a rest for a long time.

Li Yi also walked over and said softly: "Don't worry, I will catch the murderer."

Yun Zhaozhao nodded, and a hint of spirit appeared slightly after his empty eyes touched Li Yi.

"Mr. Zhang... takes great care of me. I always treat him as my uncle, Li Yi..."

Li Yi took a deep breath and smiled and said, "You should take a break first. After I find the murderer, I have to rely on you to catch him. You have to eat some food to have the strength to catch the murderer."

Yun Zhaozhao responded, but she was not willful and indeed went downstairs to have a meal.

Li Yi looked in front of Zhang Yun's room. The teapot and tea cup that Manager Wan placed on the floor had been taken away, and the water stains were almost dry, and only vague tea stains were seen.

He pushed open the door and saw Zhang Yun's body on the front.

Zhang Yun's body was sitting on a chair, leaning forward, his head was buckled on the table, and a thin and long brush was inserted into his neck.

"Aci?" Li Yi called out.

Gan Ci understood and hurriedly walked to Zhang Yun's body with a small medicine bag. She did not immediately turn Zhang Yun's body, but looked around carefully.

Li Yi squatted down and saw the door bolt that had been knocked into two pieces by Zhao County Wei.

He picked it up and looked at it, and found that the fracture surface of the door bolt was uneven, which was in line with the situation of being violently broken.

He put down the wooden bolt and walked around the house. Sure enough, he did not find any access to the house. He opened the locked window again and confirmed that no one could enter from here.
