Chapter Forty-Seven: Jade Pearls

Li Canghai waved his hand to calm him down, and said, "Ah Xu, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that the incident of that night is what I saw with my own eyes, it's really incredible." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Li Canghai was still confused, and he simply stopped thinking about it.

"Also, before the official died, did you notice anything unusual about him?" Li Canghai decided to start with the matter in front of him, after all, the death of the official is also a human life.

Kang Xu frowned, fell into memory, he shook his head and said: "This person is a gambler and a drinker, but he has been no different along the way. After pondering for a moment, Kang Xu suddenly said, "If you want to say something unusual, there is a little bit of it. When he went out to buy wine over the wall and came back, he carried a jade bead hairpin on his body, saying that he was going to give it to his daughter-in-law. ”

"Jade beads? What kind of hairpin? Li Canghai couldn't help but be a little curious.

"The pearl hairpin is carved from jade, which looks very valuable, and I thought it was strange at the time, where did Niu Fugui have the money to buy such a valuable thing, but because he was in a depressed mood, he didn't ask much."

Li Canghai's mind turned, and after a while, he suddenly figured out some key points, and hurriedly got up and walked out.

Kang Xu saw that his expression was different, for fear that he would have an accident, so he hurriedly followed.

The weather was hot, but the corpse was stored in Yizhuang but did not stink.

Li Canghai and Kang Xu came to Yizhuang, found the caretaker and asked for the deceased's clothes, and then turned them over.

A moment later, Li Canghai found a jade bead hairpin from the deceased's clothes.

"It's this hairpin." Kang Xu said.

Li Canghai didn't speak, he carefully observed the pearl hairpin, the main material is made of jade, and there is a finger-sized red bead on his head, which is indeed very valuable.

After looking at it a few times, Li Canghai's eyes suddenly stopped at the red beads.

After a little contemplation, Li Canghai found a dagger and carefully took out the red beads.

Kang Xu looked at him confused, not understanding what he wanted to do.

Li Canghai pinched the red bead and looked at the sunlight, the red bead was rich in color, and the inside and outside were like one.

"Young master, what's so special about this bead?" Kang Xu asked confusedly.

"You'll find out later." As he spoke, Li Canghai used a dagger to cut the red bead in half.

Kang Xu leaned over to take a look, and found that there was a red bug hidden in the beads!

"Sure enough." Li Canghai sighed when he saw the insects.

Before, he only paid attention to the corpse of the deceased, but he had not checked the clothes of the deceased, and he didn't expect that this jade bead hairpin also contained a 'Melting Fire Gu Worm'.

In fact, he had long thought that these dead people all had 'Xuanbing Gu Worms' in their bodies, and there must be a connection between the three.

Since he didn't know much about the 'Xuanbing Gu Worm', he didn't guess the key. It wasn't until he passed through Huiguang's guidance again and learned about the 'Yin and Yang Twin Gu' that he had an idea that these deceased might have been exposed to the 'Melting Fire Gu Worm'.

The talisman worn by the gopher gatekeeper and the sachet on Yang Xiu's body all had 'Melting Fire Gu Worms' in them, and the only thing that made him find incomprehensible was the death of the servant.

Now, he also found the 'Melting Fire Gu Worm' in the clothes of the servants, which confirmed his guess.

But in this way, the already clear case has become even more confusing.

First of all, the death of the gopher gate man will be overturned and retried.

If the real cause of death of the gopher gate is the 'Xuanbing Gu worm', then Li Er can be regarded as murder at most, and killing a living person can be convicted, but if he kills someone, this crime will have to be redefined.

Secondly, where did this 'Yin and Yang Double Gu' come from?

The three deceased died in the same way, but there does not seem to be any connection between the three.

Thieves, officials, and princes, these are simply eight poles that can't be beaten together. But they all died tragically for the same reason, and it is unknown how many mysteries are hidden in this.

After going through everything in his mind, Li Canghai gradually had a plan in his heart.

"Ah Xu, I want you to do me a favor and go to the prison to ask Li Er what was wrong with him before the Gopher Gate man died. I want to know all the things he did, the places he had been to, and the things he had used. ”

Although Kang Xu was a little puzzled, he had always obeyed Li Canghai's words. After nodding in response, he hurriedly left Yizhuang.

Li Canghai took the bead hairpin, and after thinking for a while, he walked to the street where Jixianglou was located.

The street where Jixianglou is located is full of wealthy merchants and countless shops, Li Canghai took the pearl hairpin and began to inquire in those shops.

This jade bead hairpin has a delicate shape and special materials, and it is by no means sold by ordinary shops.

He asked all the jewellers on the street, but strangely no one had ever sold the hairpin, which immediately made him wonder if his reasoning had been wrong.

It only takes a quarter of an hour from the post house to Jixianglou, not to mention that there are many shops here, if Niu Fugui suddenly has the money to buy this jade pearl hairpin, he must have bought it on this street.

But what he couldn't figure out was that no one knew it.

"Could it be that I really guessed wrong, this jade bead hairpin was not actually bought by Niu Fugui, but picked up on the ground?" Li Canghai jumped on a stone lion a little depressed, sat on it and looked at the bead hairpin in his hand over and over again.

At this time, a young man who looked like a guy passed by, he casually glanced at the hairpin, and suddenly let out a startle.

Li Canghai looked at him, suddenly his heart moved, and hurriedly asked, "This friend, do you recognize this jade pearl hairpin?" ”

The guy only glanced at it and said with certainty: "Naturally, I recognize that this is something from my pawnshop." ”

Pawnshop? Li Canghai suddenly patted his head and scolded himself for forgetting this stubble.

"Do you remember who you bought it for?"

The guy tilted his head and thought for a moment, and said, "I sold this pearl hairpin to a servant three days ago, and the servant lost the money in the gamble, and actually pressed the waist card in the pawnshop." Later, when he won the money, he came to me to redeem the card, and happened to meet a girl who came to pawn it. When the servant saw this, he liked it very much, so he bought it. ”

Li Canghai was quite surprised, this pearl hairpin is a woman, so who is this woman?

His intuition told him that this woman must have an extraordinary relationship with Zhu Hai.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Canghai asked, "Do you remember what that woman looks like?" ”

"Oh, I know that girl."

Li Canghai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Take me to her!" ”

The guy looked up at the sky, shook his head and said, "I still have something to do, in fact, many people know that girl, you can find it yourself." She is the top brand of the Cuihong Mansion, Miss Hongyan. ”

Li Canghai's head buzzed, and he stood on the spot in an instant.

He never expected that the owner of the jade pearl hairpin would be a wild goose!

Suddenly there was a thunderclap in the sky, and a large dark cloud gathered, and soon it began to rain heavily.

Raindrops the size of beans fell from the sky and smashed on people and caused pain.

Li Canghai walked in the heavy rain without caring and fell into deep thought.
