Chapter 478 is another murder.

After such an arrangement, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce were about to leave, but just as they were about to turn around, Hua Lang seemed to think of something, so he looked at Lin Qing and asked: "We have inquired clearly, after you met Long Budi, you didn't perform any performances, why did you want to deceive Long Budi, and what did you do in those days?" ”

Lin Qing's expression was a little ugly, and after a long time, he replied: "It's not a secret, we really haven't performed in other places, the reason why we said that to Boss Long is to ask him to increase our performance fee, because if we say that there are performances in other places, Boss Long will feel that it is not easy to invite us, and the price will be a little higher." ”

Hua Lang also used this method when he was in Yangzhou, but he didn't think of it last night, did he think that these artists who ran the rivers and lakes would not play these tricks?

After solving this problem, Hanalang asked again, "So where were you in those days?" ”

"We stayed in a dilapidated temple all the time, and we didn't go there until the fourteenth day of the first lunar month before we directly entered Duanzhou City."

After asking these questions, Hua Lang and the others left the Dong Mansion, and as for whether what Lin Qing said was true, it was to be verified, after all, at this stage, if they didn't investigate these people's words clearly, they must not take them seriously.

After returning to the state office, Bao Zheng sent people to inquire again, and this time the scope was expanded a little, so those officials did not come back until the evening, and they were very disappointed, it was true that no one had seen them, and they did not inquire about where these jugglers had been before, anyway, the people near Duanzhou City had not heard of them.

This juggling team seemed to have come suddenly, which made them feel strange, how could such a foreigner become the target of the murderer? Could it be that these people came to Duanzhou City to be killed?

What exactly was the murderer's motive for killing these people?

But based on what they know now, they can't investigate it at all.

When the sky was dark, the wind was faintly blowing and cold, and the wind was mixed with rain.

It was raining, the sky was dark, and the smoke from each house was not so obvious, and after eating some food at the state office, Hua Lang and the others went directly back to the detective agency.

At this time, the rain was not very heavy, but when they got home, their clothes were still wet.

The rain in early spring, the wind at night, and the sound of wind and rain are mixed in, like a piece of music, and everyone enters the dream in this music.

In the middle of the night, the rain was heavier, but in the early morning the rain stopped, maybe it was too tired yesterday, or maybe the sound of wind and rain last night was too hypnotic, so everyone was a little lazy the next day.

They were awakened by a knock at the door, and when Hanarang got dressed from the bed, he was still sleepy-eyed, and when he went to open the door, he saw that it was Zhang Long, his trouser legs were a little muddy, and his expression was panicked.

At that time, Hua Lang didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, he just stretched, rubbed his eyes, and then asked lazily: "Brother Zhang is looking for me so early, is there something wrong?" ”

Zhang Long may have been too nervous, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, of course, he didn't be nervous for too long, he looked at Hua Lang and said, "Brother Hua, something has happened, and someone in the Dong Mansion has died." ”

"Who is it?" Hua Lang was startled, and his sleepiness suddenly disappeared.

"Lin Qing!"

"Lin Qing?"

"That's right, it's Lin Qing!"

Hua Lang didn't have time to say more, he hurriedly washed his face, and then he and Zhang Longyin hurried to the Dong Mansion, naturally, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce had already gone.

On the way, Zhang Long said: "Today, I found a small servant in the Dong Mansion to report the case, saying that Lin Qing was dead, and the two brothers Liang Dou and Liang Tian injured many people in the house. ”

Hua Lang can understand the feelings of the two brothers Liang Dou and Liang Tian, but they hurt people so recklessly, but they don't make sense.

When the group hurriedly came to Dong's mansion, Dong Yuanwai had already come out of the house, but he hid behind Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce, for fear that Liang Dou and Liang Tian would have any misdeeds towards him, Bao Zheng was scolding Liang Dou and Liang Tian, the two of them were tall and short-tempered, but after all, they knew the identity of Bao Zheng, and after being reprimanded by Bao Zheng, they had to stop talking.

Because Bao Zheng reprimanded Liang Dou and Liang Tian and they spent some time, when Hua Lang and they came, Bao Zheng and they had not yet examined the body, Bao Zheng saw Hua Lang and them, and then entered Lin Qing's room with them.

Lin Qing's room was no different from the guest rooms of several other people, at this time, Lin Qing's door had been destroyed, Ju Liangdou said, he pushed the door and kicked it open.

In other words, Lin Qing's death was still a murder in a closed room.

At this time, Lin Qing was lying on the bed, his face was black, his lips were purple, Hua Lang used a silver needle to probe his throat, and found that the silver needle turned black, this is an obvious poisoning reaction, after checking Lin Qing's whole body, there was no external injury.

At this time, there was wine and food on the table and chairs in Lin Qing's room, and the food was not eaten much, but the wine was only half a small pot left, Hua Lang checked the wine and vegetables, and found that the wine was poisonous, which means that Lin Qing was poisoned and died after drinking the wine in the wine pot.

After Hua Lang informed Bao Zheng of this, Bao Zheng immediately called Liang Dou Liang Tian and Dong Yuanwai in and asked, "Who provided Lin Qing with the wine last night?" ”

Dong Yuanwai hesitated a little, and said: "Last night he asked for his own wine, in the past we only provided food and tea, but last night Lin Qing asked us for wine, can ...... Maybe he was too sad and wanted to drink to drown his sorrows. ”

Bao Zheng looked at Liang Dou and asked, "Have you drunk?" ”

Liang Dou shook his head: "We brothers don't drink. ”

Bao Zheng bowed slightly, and then continued to ask Dong Yuanwai: "Where did you get the wine?" ”

"In the wine cellar in our house, there should be no problem with the wine there."

"Whose wine was served?"

"The little guy in the house."

After a while, the little guy in the house came running, he was trembling, as if he was very scared, Bao Zheng looked at him and asked, "Did you poison Lin Qing's wine?" ”

The little guy suddenly knelt down and said, "My lord knows that the wine only passed through the villain's hands, the villain really dares to poison it, if it really poisons Lin Qing, wouldn't my suspicion be the greatest." ”

It stands to reason that there will be no such stupid person in the world.

However, it was obvious that Lin Qing couldn't poison himself by himself, so Bao Zheng asked again: "When you brought wine to Lin Qing, you really didn't leave the wine jug at once, or could someone else see it?" ”
