Chapter 977: Every Gamble Must Win
Wang Qi made a few delicious side dishes and boiled all the fish into fish soup. Bing'er made some sweet pastries, and Cuihuan and Cui Pei gave the little white tiger a bath together.
Then, everyone sat together for lunch, regardless of master and servant, and several girls chatted while eating, laughing and laughing, and the whole process was very relaxed and happy.
After lunch, Kapok sent Lin Huixin back to the room to rest, while Lin Wan stayed in the dining room and listened to the gale report the results of his two-day investigation.
Gale asked the secret guards of the Zhao family to help find out the man who gave Liu Chunqin the poison in Nanyue, but when they found the man, the man was already dead.
The man was about forty years old, and the neighbors called him Hu Lao'er, and he was indeed a gambler, and he was in debt, and his wife and children had left him a few years ago. He lived alone in a small bungalow, and by the time the guards found him, he had already died. There were four or five jars rolling around, and it looked like he was drunk.
And Liu Jiaotou doesn't know much about Hu Laoer, only knows that Hu Laoer is not only good at gambling, but also good at drinking. Because he has good luck recently, he will win every gamble, and he has some silver on hand, so he went to the southern suburbs to find his gambling friend Liu Jiaotou to drink together.
The neighbors have rarely seen Hu Lao Er recently, and they have not seen anyone looking for him. In the past month or so, Hu Lao Er has not been at home, and no one knows where he has gone. The night before, he had come home with several jars of wine, and he had not seen anyone come back with him, and he did not know if he was drinking alone or someone else.
When the secret guard pretended to be Hu Laoer's friend and found his neighborhood, the enthusiastic neighbors took the dark guard to Hu Laoer's house and found his body. The neighborhood has reported to the government, and now Wu Tong is sending someone to investigate. Wu Qi learned about this and took the initiative to ask his father for this messenger, and investigated the case with the officials of Kyoto Prefecture Yin.
Now that I have found out, the most useful detail is that the casino that Hu Lao Er often goes to is Lu Zhenwei's property, called Weiye Casino. However, for the time being, it has not been found that Hu Laoer's death has anything to do with Weiye Casino. Moreover, in the recent period, Hu Lao Er has not been to Weiye Casino. In the past month or so, Hu Lao Er has always gone to the southern suburbs, so the only person who has had the most contact with him recently is Liu Jiaotou.
After Liu Chunqin and Liu Cellhead learned the news that Hu Lao Er had died, they were very shocked and very scared. Therefore, last night I had already packed up and left the capital overnight. Even their house in the southern suburbs was sold in a hurry, and they would rather lose a large sum of money than leave the capital as soon as possible.
Lin Wan nodded slightly, she had already guessed that this matter must be related to the Lu family, although there was no evidence, it was not important. Even if there is evidence, it is impossible to shake the foundation of the Lu family because of this trivial matter, and it is impossible to convict Lu Zhenwei.
It is not an easy thing to deal with the Lu family, and you need to plan slowly. Therefore, Lin Wan told Gale that there was no need to check it again, and it would just be a waste of time to check it again. Sooner or later, the Lu family will have to deal with it, but now is not the time.
Then, Gale reported the results of the investigation to Lin Xiangfu, and brought shocking news.
Lin Huixin's two maids left in the Love Garden were missing, and Gale personally went back to Lin Xiang's Mansion yesterday evening to find Green Willow, and Green Willow decided to go to the Love Garden to find Lin Huixin's two maids to ask. However, after searching the entire Garden of Love, I couldn't find them.
Later, Gale found the Yi Sword and Spirit Sword that had been guarding Lin Xiangfu. They said that not long after Kapok Zi and Lin Huixin left, the two of them left with them. Yi Dao and Ling Jian thought that the two of them had gone to find Lin Huixin, so they didn't stop them, and they didn't find anything unusual. However, until now, the two maids have not returned, nor have they found Tingxi Liyuan, I don't know where they went, were they alive or dead?
Luliu said that in the days when Wang Qi was away, Lin Huixin's food was prepared by Luliu himself, and there was absolutely no omission. However, the maid in the Garden of Affection said that Lin Hui likes to eat sweet and sour things recently, so her two missing maids personally went to Xiangfu Street to buy candied fruits and sour dates a few times.
When Lin Wan heard the news, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. Regardless of whether Lin Huixin's two maids have a problem or not, they are now afraid that they are all more than lucky.
After the gale report was completed, seeing that Lin Wan was silent, he didn't say anything more, and stood quietly, waiting for Lin Wan's next instructions.
Lin Wan pondered for a moment and ordered: "Go and check, have there been any suspicious people coming to the capital recently?" Let's see who they've been in contact with, and check if the two missing maids have any records of leaving the city. ”
"Yes, Miss, my subordinates obey orders!" Gale immediately received the order, thought about it, and said: "Miss, my subordinates remembered something, and I don't know if it has anything to do with it." ”
Lin Wan's eyes lit up, and he asked suspiciously, "What is the matter?" Why do you think it has something to do with it?"
Gale said thoughtfully: "Green Willow said that the candied fruit and sour dates that the two maids bought back were all bought in the most famous Wu Clan Hall at the west end of Xiangfu Street. And as far as his subordinates know, Wu Mi'er, the female shopkeeper of the Wu Family's Hall, used to be a member of the Qiannu Palace. ”
Lin Wan was stunned and asked puzzledly: "Once, has she left the Qiannu Palace now, and has she not had any connection with the Qiannu Palace?"
Gale shook his head and said, "My subordinates are not sure. When his subordinates followed Commander Zhao, they once investigated Wu Mi'er. That Wu Mi'er had left the Qiannu Palace seven or eight years ago and took over the Wu Family Hall left by her uncle. Wu Mier's uncle never had a wife and no children in his life. Therefore, after his death, he left Wu Shitang to Wu Mier. After Wu Mier took over Wu's Hall, she no longer had any contact with the Chinese Lady Palace. At the beginning, Commander Zhao suspected that she was still secretly working for the Qiannu Palace, so he sent someone to follow her for a few days, but later he didn't find anything, so he withdrew the person. ”
Lin Wan took a deep breath, twisted his eyebrows and ordered, "You go and secretly check on that Wu Mi'er again to see if she has been in contact with any suspicious people recently." We only have two days left, and we have to find out the truth before leaving the capital, otherwise, I still can't rest assured about Sister Huixin. ”
"Yes, miss, my subordinates will go and check. After speaking, Gale saw Lin Wan nodding, so he performed light skills and flew out of the courtyard wall.
Lin Wan looked at the direction where the gale left in a daze, but she was thinking in her heart that the Nanyue Gu poison in Liu Chunqin was related to the Lu family, but the Miao Jiang infant poison in Lin Hui's heart might be related to the Qiannu Palace, and both the Lu family and the Qiannu Palace were under Lu Qishan's orders. Could it be that Lu Qishan was behind all this? But what good did it do her? What was her purpose?
