The secret passage was very long, leading directly to the outside of the Zheng Mansion, and Hua Lang and the others walked inside for half an hour before reaching the end.

When everyone came out of the secret passage, they were dirty all over their bodies, and at the end of the secret passage was a dilapidated warehouse outside Zheng's mansion, there were footprints in the warehouse, and there were traces of people crossing over, all of which the murderer had ever entered and exited from here.

But the exit is too far away from Zheng Kai's room, and it may not be easy for them to know who the murderer is.

When they returned to Zheng Kai's room again, everyone was much quieter, but Zheng Kai's body was still placed there, and no one had moved.

Zheng Yuan's face was full of anger, he came to Hua Lang and said, "You are a detective, you are a detective, you will definitely be able to find the murderer, right?" ”

I thought Zheng Yuan was a playboy, but hearing his words, Hua Lang was still a little relieved in his heart, if a person still knows filial piety, it means that he is not very bad.

"The murderer is killing people under my nose, and I will naturally make him pay."

Zheng Yuan nodded: "Okay, my father invited you to come, presumably because he noticed the difference in the house, as long as you can find out the murderer, my father promised you, I will help you realize it." ”

Hua Lang nodded, and then instructed the people in the house: "Send someone to Linxi City to inform Lord Tong and ask him to bring someone here." ”

A small servant took the order, and then everyone dispersed, and Hua Lang and Yin Wuxian saw that there was nothing else to investigate, so they went back to rest.

The night is a little deeper, Hua Lang is lying in bed but can't sleep, what happened in Zheng Mansion tonight is really weird, is the murderer from the house or outside?

Judging from the current situation, it is possible.

If it was someone outside, the murderer entered Zheng Kai's room through the secret passage, Zheng Kai didn't notice much, and he jumped off the bed to escape, but he escaped slowly, and after the murderer came out from under the bed, he immediately killed him, and then left through the secret passage.

And if the murderer is a person from the palace, then the only suspicious ones are the two missing concubines, because the whole night, everyone is in the house, and the people in the house go out from the secret passage and then return to their own rooms after killing people, which is obviously unlikely, because the secret passage is too long, and it takes almost an hour to go back and forth.

It seems that if you want to solve the case, finding Zheng Kai's two concubines is the most critical.

There was a crow's cry outside the window, and at some point, Hanarang fell asleep, and even if a person didn't want to sleep again, he could fall asleep after all.

The next day, the news of Zheng Kai's killing spread throughout the vicinity of Linxi City, and early in the morning, Tong Zhuo sent someone to deal with Zheng Kai's body, Tong Zhuo came to ask Hua Lang: "Dude, what clues are there in this murder case?" ”

Hua Lang shook his head: "I'm afraid I need the help of Master Tong!" ”

"If the playboy has any orders, as long as the official can do it, he will not refuse."

Hua Lang nodded: "Zheng Kai's two concubines are missing, I want to ask Master Tong to help find them." ”

"This is easy to say, I will give the order to go down."

When Tong Zhuo arranged these things, Hua Lang called Zheng Yuan, Zheng Feng and Zhang Ting, they were all relatives of the deceased Zheng Kai, and there were some things that they should know better than others.

"Think about it carefully, who is likely to kill Zheng Kai?"

Several people glanced at each other, but they couldn't think of it, in this place, Zheng Kai has almost no enemies, they do pig iron business, and usually only deal with people in the army, and they are the pig iron shop of the royal family, who dares to offend in ordinary times?

Although they have competition with the Cheng family and the Pang family, everyone has always been that the well water does not interfere with the river water, and they really don't know who will kill Zheng Kai.

If so, it's a lot harder.

At this time, Hanalang had to ask other questions.

"How old are Zheng Kai's two concubines?"

"About thirty!"

"How much does Zheng Kai like them?"

"I love them very much, but the two of them are always jealous, which makes the master dislike it very much."

"Have you had anything strange about the two of them lately?"

"There's nothing out of the ordinary!" Speaking of this, the housekeeper seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly said: "If you say something abnormal, it is that the two of them suddenly stopped fighting and being jealous in the past few days......" The housekeeper's words were not finished, but everyone already understood what it meant, the two women who were always jealous suddenly stopped fighting, and then suddenly disappeared, and their husbands were too, so did the two of them plan to kill and escape early in the morning?

But what did two women do when they killed their husbands and fled, and besides, they didn't take anything with them, and they killed people and fled without getting money, which really doesn't make sense.

"Zheng Kai hasn't slept with his two concubines much all this time?"

"I slept together half a year ago, but I haven't slept together much in the past few months, and even less room!" After the butler said this, he seemed to notice the strangeness.

Zheng Yuan frowned slightly, glared at the housekeeper, and then said to Hua Lang: "My two aunts will never kill my father, and they can't go out of the wall, I prefer that the murderer is someone from outside." ”

"But Zheng Kai has no enemies outside, is this what you just said?"

Zheng Yuan was speechless for a while, and he was speechless and suddenly turned his head and said to the housekeeper: "Has the news of my father's death been notified to the eldest brother and third brother?" ”

"Back to the son, I have already been notified, but the eldest son is in the capital, the road is far away, I am afraid that he will not be able to come back for a while, and the third son will be able to arrive home at noon today."

Zheng Yuan nodded, and then let the housekeeper leave, after the housekeeper left, Zheng Yuan said to Hua Lang: "No matter what, I hope that the playboy can protect my Zheng family's reputation." ”

Suddenly, Hua Lang felt that this gentleman had grown up.

Hua Lang smiled, and then nodded: "This Zheng Gongzi can rest assured, before I investigate the truth of the matter, I will not casually say anything that damages the reputation of your Zheng family, but there is a question I want to know, what happened to your mansion half a year ago?" ”

"Why does the dude ask?"

"Half a year ago, your father slept separately from the two concubines, and since then he has rarely been blessed with them, I am really very curious about this, if it wasn't what happened, how could Zheng Kai be like this?"

Zheng Yuan's face was slightly red, and he looked very cramped, but he knew very well that he couldn't help but answer Hua Lang's question, otherwise the case would not be solved, and the murderer would not be found, but how could he say that thing?
