Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Chapter 559: Entering Prince Ying's Mansion at Night

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Li Cunxi pointed to a relatively clean staircase nearby and everyone walked over there.

When they reached the steps, they each found a clean place without any meat or bone residue and sat down.

Cui Liang didn't bother to cover up for others. After sitting down, he spoke slowly.

"Your Highness, Duke Qin, generals, and gentlemen, since you have seen the large amount of blood outside Yangzhou City, it is definitely impossible that only a few dozen people bled."

"In my opinion, there should be more than a hundred dead. They were killed there and their bodies were taken away. We chased them all the way to the official road, but found no other traces, so we had to give up the search."

He made up a lie, thinking he could hide it from others.

Unexpectedly, Li Cunxi and others already knew Cui Liang's true nature, and just thought that Cui Liang was farting and played along with him.

Cui Liang, who was smart enough, described that he had no choice but to close the case early.

Finally, he pointed at the corpses on the ground and said to Li Cunxi:

"Your Highness, Duke Qin, in less than half a month, hundreds of people died. The nature of the incident is extremely bad."

"I beg you to be vigilant and bring those murderers to justice!"

Li Cunxi showed an ambiguous expression and did not agree immediately.

Under Cui Liang's expectant gaze, Li Cunxi slowly stood up.

He waved his robe sleeves lightly and walked slowly among the broken flesh and bones. The boundless moonlight shone on his face, revealing the helplessness on his face.

"I guess, in Governor Cui's impression, I am omnipotent."

"But how could Governor Cui not know what is important in solving a case?"

"It's evidence!"

"Hundreds of people here have all been reduced to bones. What evidence can I use to find out the truth?"

He turned away and sighed deeply.

"I am tired, Yanhao, you and Brother Jinghui stay."

"After burying the bones, order someone to clean up the place and throw the scraps of meat and bones into the river to feed the fish."

"Everyone, let's go back. I'm in a bad mood and don't want to stay here anymore."

Li Cunxi said this and looked at Cui Liang dimly.

"What does Governor Cui think?"

Cui Liang's heart trembled for some unknown reason: "I will obey your orders, sir!"

……

After seeing off Li Cunxi and others, Wu Yanhao and Hu Jinghui came to the lake under the moonlight.

They looked at the calm lake in silence, and the emotions they had been suppressing finally revealed themselves.

They laughed with their heads raised, and they mocked Ying Wang Yuanqi who was about to die.

They pretended very well tonight and Cui Liang was scared by them. After returning home tonight, he will definitely secretly find Yuan Qi to report the news.

Yuan Qi couldn't possibly be unaware of what the destruction of Beigou Granary meant, and he would definitely try his best to find Lin Yang.

And he will never be able to find Lin Yang!

"Should we search the things here?" Hu Jinghui asked, tilting his head.

"Let's just do a symbolic search. With how cautious the Iron Hands are, Lin Yang will definitely be much cleaner." Wu Yanhao turned around and looked at Hu Jinghui, "I can guarantee that we won't find anything."

The two searched the Beigou warehouse for a long time, even searching the small room where Lin Yang usually liked to stay, but they found nothing.

After coming out, the two looked at each other tacitly and made up their minds to go back and let Wulezhi interrogate Lin Yang.

Speaking of which, Lin Yang was also a pleasant surprise.

Because of an accident, it fell into the hands of Ulezhi.

"Give the order and we'll go back directly."

Hu Jinghui waved to Zhang Huan and Li Lang, signaling them to gather the Qianniu Guards, the Imperial Guards, and the subordinates of the Governor's Office and prepare to go back.

In Yangzhou city, Cui Liang and Wu Wendeng returned to the governor's mansion, looked at each other, closed the door, and sat down.

"Old Wu, I thought about it again on the way back and found something wrong."

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Beigou Dacang is Yuan Qi's territory after all. He has no reason to kill his own people. Besides, we have never heard of anyone among Yuan Qi's subordinates who can grind people to pieces."

"Now that you mention it, it is true. We have not heard of such a group of killers among Yuan Qi's subordinates. Then who do you suspect?" Wu Wendeng frowned.

Cui Liang slapped his thigh: "Li Cunxi!"

"Why do you doubt him?"

"My intuition tells me that it was Li Cunxi's people who killed them."

"In my opinion, Li Cunxi had just arrived in Yangzhou and didn't know anything, so it couldn't be him! Moreover, according to the information we received, Li Cunxi's subordinates do not have this ability."

"Yeah, you're right. Hundreds of people were killed just like that. There must be at least a thousand people who could have killed them... not to mention whittling them down to a pile of bones."

The two racked their brains but could not figure out who had turned the water ghosts in Beigou Dacang into bones.

Cui Liang and Wu Wendeng racked their brains, but they still couldn't understand how there could be such a master in the world.

Just as they were still thinking hard, in the darkness outside the Governor's Mansion, a figure appeared on the roof like a ghost.

The man stared at the main gate of the Governor's Mansion, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.

Soon, he saw two dark shadows walking out of the Governor's Mansion and heading towards Prince Ying's Mansion.

Not long after, the two dark shadows walked into Prince Ying's Mansion. After informing the old gatekeeper, the two entered Prince Ying's Mansion smoothly.

Seeing this, the dark shadow disappeared silently into the darkness.

Soon, on the official boat at the ferry, Li Cunxi saw a shadow walking in from outside.

"That person sent the news that Cui Liang and Wu Wendeng really fell into the trap and went to Prince Ying's mansion overnight. They have not come out since then."

Li Cunxi crossed his legs and said, "Keep investigating. I want to see how they can guess who did it even if they go find Yuan Qi."

In Prince Ying's mansion, Yuan Qi was awakened and came to the main hall. After seeing Cui Liang and Wu Wendeng who were fidgeting, his face looked unhappy.

"You came here in the middle of the night, it must be something very important. I see you don't look well, has something bad happened?"

Cui Liang held his forehead.

"Don't say we look bad, your face isn't much better, Yuan Qi, stop being polite."

"The people of Beigou Dacang were brutally massacred. The hundreds of water ghosts under your command were chopped into bones, and no one survived."

"A gangster passed by Beigou Granary and saw the white bones on the ground. He went to Li Cunxi to report the situation..."

Cui Liang glanced at Yuan Qi again.

"Li Cunxi is now helpless. Too many people died in Beigou Dacang. He must investigate thoroughly."

"How can he investigate? Isn't it better to find out the identities of the deceased and then start from that aspect?"

"If he really keeps investigating like this, it's still possible that he doesn't find Peng Chun and Peng Qiu. But if he does find them..."

"We all have to finish."
