Chapter 508 Killed.

Regarding Hua Lang's question, Lin Xian'er didn't show any uncooperation, she thought about it, and then replied: "At that time, I was wandering alone, and then I met Nangong Qiong Nangong Gongzi of the current science list, and then I chatted with him until the time of the gathering and leaving. ”

"And how long do you enjoy the scenery by yourself?"

"Half a pillar of incense time!"

"Where did you meet Nangong Qiong, is it close to the creek?"

"It's some distance from the creek, what's the matter, the playboy suspects that Nangong Qiong is the murderer?"

Hua Lang smiled slightly and said, "I don't mean that, I'm just asking casually and investigating everyone's whereabouts." ”

Lin Xian'er smiled lightly and said, "Is there anything else that the playboy has to ask?" ”

Hua Lang shook his head, and then led the people out of the Lin Mansion.

After leaving the Lin Mansion, Yin Wuxian said: "This Lin Xian'er has half a pillar of incense alone, and it is enough to kill people!" ”

Hua Lang smiled: "That's right, it's just why did she kill Miss Qingyan, she has no motive!" ”

"Maybe it's just that we haven't found the motive yet!" Yin Wuxian said as if he refused to give up.

Hwarang didn't refute the idea that there was no mistake, because that's really the way it is, and maybe they just haven't discovered the motive yet.

After returning to the state office, Hua Lang immediately found Gongsun Ce and asked, "How long have you been chatting with Nangong Qiong?" ”

Gongsun Ce thought for a while and said, "It's almost half a pillar of incense!" ”

If Gongsun Ce and Nangong Qiong really talked for almost half a pillar of incense, then he really didn't have time to kill, Hua Lang temporarily ruled out Nangong Qiong's suspicion, or Nangong Qiong was no longer suspicious, he thought that Lin Xian'er should not give perjury for Nangong Qiong, the person he just met, right?

After asking Gongsun Ce, Hua Lang went to see Bao Zheng again, he wanted to know the results of the Lu Dao officials to ask the scholars who were present yesterday, when he came to Bao Zheng's study, Bao Zheng was looking through the news recorded by the officials, he saw Hua Lang coming, and hurriedly said: "Brother Hua came just in time, I was about to tell you the results of the investigation!" ”

"But what's the clue?"

Bao Zheng shook his head: "These scholars and scholars have alibi certificates, they are either two or two companions, or a group of people sit together, and no one has left halfway." ”

After listening to Bao Zheng's words, Hua Lang nodded slightly, and then said: "If this is the case, then the only ones who have time to kill are Long Budi and Lin Xian'er." ”

"Lin Xian'er?" Bao Zheng was a little surprised.

Hua Lang nodded and said, "That's right, before Lin Xian'er met Nangong Qiong, she had a half-pillar of incense by herself, and in this half-pillar of incense, she was fully capable of killing." ”

"But what motive does she have to kill, how can she let Miss Qingyan sit on a hill that has been designed a long time ago?"

Bao Zheng's question Hua Lang didn't think about it, but now he really can't give an answer, just when Hua Lang was about to say his speculation, a government official hurriedly came and said that Chen Liang was dead.

Hua Lang didn't recognize Chen Liang, and in his memory, it seemed that he had never heard this name, so Hua Lang hurriedly asked who Chen Liang was, Bao Zheng was worried, and said while walking out: "Chen Liang is a scholar among the people who went out yesterday, and the former official of a stick of incense went to his house to ask him, but now he is dead." ”

After listening to Hua Lang's words, Bao Zheng felt that this matter was by no means simple, so he hurriedly followed Bao Zheng and them to Chen Liang's house.

Chen Liang is a down-and-out scholar, his family lives in a dilapidated alley, although there are people living in that alley, but in such weather, they all go to the field to do farm work or do some small business, and it is empty during the day.

Entering the courtyard, what I saw was a little dilapidated, Chen Liang's home didn't even plant flowers and trees, except for a few broken thatched huts, there was nothing, the person guarding the corpse saw Bao Zheng and Hua Lang and they came, so they hurried over, and said, "My lord, the corpse is inside!" ”

Bao Zheng and Hua Lang entered the room and found Chen Liang's body lying on the bed, and in his hand, there was a book, but this book was not a poem, but a picture of the Spring Palace, at this time, a page was blown open by the wind, revealing a man and a woman.

From this book, it can be seen that Chen Liang is not a serious person, but Hua Lang They also know that men, especially men who are not married, like to read this thing, Hua Lang picked up the book and handed it to a servant, and then checked Chen Liang's body, and after the examination, he got up and said: "There are no external injuries all over the body, it was poisoned and died." ”

Bao Zheng bowed slightly, and then asked, "Who is asking Chen Liang today?" ”

At this time, a servant hurriedly stood up, he was not only the person who came to inquire about Chen Liang, but also the person who found Chen Liang's body, after he stood up, Bao Zheng asked: "When you asked Chen Liang, did you find anything unusual about him?" ”

The official thought for a while and said, "At first, I didn't find anything unusual about him, but after I returned to the state government to report to the adults, I felt that this Chen Liang was a little evasive when answering the question, so I wanted to come and ask again, but as soon as I walked into his house, I found him dead in bed." ”

"Do you find that Chen Liang is a little evasive in answering questions?"

The official nodded: "That's right, I asked him what he was doing at the time, he said that he was drinking with a few scholars, I asked him who he saw, his reaction was a little wrong, he shook his head again and again, and said that no one saw it, and then I felt that his answer was different, so I wanted to come back and see, but he died." ”

After the official finished speaking, Bao Zheng and Hua Lang already understood a little bit, this Chen Liang must have discovered something, but he didn't tell the official that he wanted to rely on the secret he knew to gain a little benefit, but since the murderer killed one person, he didn't care about killing one more, so the murderer poisoned Chen Liang.

If this is the case, then there is a great possibility that the murderer is the dragon. Because when the official sent someone to inquire, Hua Lang and Wen Meng were asking Lin Xian'er in the Lin Mansion, which means that Lin Xian'er had an alibi, so the only one who had time to kill Chen Liang was Long Budi.

Of course, Hua Lang also knew that it was a bit too early to determine that Long Budi was the murderer, because they hadn't asked Long Budi yet, and when Chen Liang was killed, he had an alibi.

Without further ado, Hua Lang and his party hurried to Qingli Temple.
