Chapter 33 You Are a Little Fool

Hearing the question, Cao Xingbo quickly replied: "There are also three guards on duty at night and a maid in the mansion."

As the group talked, they came to Liu Xuetian's study.

Standing in the study and looking around for a while, Li Motang asked: "How did Lord Liu die?"

Cao Xingbo replied: "He was stabbed in the back by a dagger and died with one blow."

"Are you the first to see Lord Liu die?" Li Motang looked at Manager Cheng, "Please restore Lord Liu's death, and don't ignore his facial expression."

"Yes." Manager Cheng came to the desk and leaned on the table.

Huang Feng didn't say anything all the time. He walked around in the study. Seeing Li Motang began to ponder, he spoke: "Do you have a layout drawing of Liu's mansion?

If so, please ask Cao Xingbo to get a drawing and mark the location and time of all the victims' deaths that night on it."

"Yes, I'll get it now." Cao Xingbo heard the order and hurried to do it.

After Cao Xingbu left, the study became quiet again. Luan Zhongqing waited for a long time before he whispered to Li Motang, "Did the princess find anything?"

"There are many suspicious points. Lord Luan, don't worry. Wait until Cao Xingbu comes back." Li Motang simply perfunctorily answered Luan Zhongqing and continued to think.

After a while, Cao Xingbu returned with the marked drawings and handed them to Huang Feng.

After Huang Feng looked at them, he handed them to Li Motang.

The two looked at each other, and Li Motang said, "Take us to check these places one by one, and then go to the mourning hall."

Cao Xingbu led the way, and Luan Zhongqing accompanied him. He became more and more anxious. He had been walking for a long time, but he didn't say anything!

After visiting several places and going to the mourning hall, Luan Zhongqing finally couldn't help asking again: "Princess, what are your doubts?"

"There are still some things I haven't figured out. Please ask Cao Xingbu to send the files related to this case to the inn. After I read them, I will talk to Lord Luan in detail.

By the way, there is no need for a carriage. I want to walk back. I haven't been to Shulu for a long time. I want to take a simple walk." Li Motang didn't give Luan Zhongqing a chance to refuse. He took Xiao Nuan with him, winked at Huang Feng, and left Liu's house together.

Even if Luan Zhongqing was unhappy, he had no choice but to see Li Motang off.

When they were far away from Liu's house, Li Motang asked Huang Feng, "What do you think?"

Huang Feng did not hide it: "It's a bit strange. Let's talk about it after reading the detailed files."

"Yeah." Li Motang did not object, and asked suddenly, "What news did you get from Qifengyuan?"

Huang Feng was very confused: "What is Qifengyuan, a restaurant? How is the food? Is it worth going? Why don't I call Xiaobai and we go there together tonight?"

Xiao Nuan snorted: "What are you sitting there for? That's a brothel!"

"Ah?" Huang Feng was startled and looked at Li Motang with dissatisfaction, "Why would I go to that kind of place? You woman, you have ulterior motives!"

"Heh." Li Motang sneered.

"Mr. Huang, are you really not that kind of person?" Xiao Nuan confirmed expectantly.

Huang Feng looked at her with the most sincere eyes: "Remember, if you see someone who looks like me in a place like a brothel, he must be my half-brother!"

"Oh." Xiao Nuan nodded, wrote it down, and then suddenly bared her teeth and claws, and pounced on Huang Feng, "I'm not as stupid as you think!"

"My fault, I underestimated you too much." Huang Feng dodged easily.

On the street, Xiao Nuan, as a maid, was too ostentatious, which would affect the image of her own lady. She didn't pounce on him at once, so she puffed her cheeks and returned to Li Motang, staring at Huang Feng fiercely.

After staring for a while, she thought that Mr. Huang was really good-looking, and she couldn't get angry again.

Back to the inn, Huang Feng saw that Bai Yang was still practicing, so he didn't disturb him.

Cao Xingbu came quickly, handed the case file to Li Motang, and left quietly.

After getting the file, Xiao Nuan came and knocked on the door: "Mr. Huang, the lady invites you to come over."

"I'm here." Huang Feng came to Li Motang's room. There was nothing new in the room of the inn, and naturally there was no wonderful atmosphere of a beautiful woman's boudoir.

Li Motang could tell at a glance that this guy was definitely up to no good: "What are you looking at?"

"Just looking around." Huang Feng looked at the piles of thick files on the table, "Are these all?"

Li Motang nodded: "Yes, including the detailed information of 183 people in Liu's mansion, they are all there."

Huang Feng sighed: "So many, nearly 200 people, can Lord Liu's salary afford it?"

Li Motang didn't say anything. Daxia is currently rich and prosperous, and officials at all levels receive a lot of salaries. In addition to the regular salary, including land, salary and other miscellaneous items, it is barely enough to feed so many people.

But Liu Xuetian married 18 concubines. Did he just give them food and send them away? He must have bought a lot of jewelry and clothes.

Sitting in his position, as long as it is not excessive, the court will turn a blind eye. After all, everyone is about the same, and no one will embarrass anyone.

Li Motang was too lazy to comment on this matter: "Let's talk about the murder case."

Huang Feng sat on the chair and flipped through the case file casually: "You go first."

Li Motang didn't mind and analyzed: "I walked around the Liu Mansion and didn't feel any evil spirits. There are many suspicious points in the murder case. For example, Liu Xuetian's desk was facing the door, why was he stabbed in the back with a dagger? If an assassin suddenly broke in and committed the crime, he should have stood up and called for help, or tried to resist."

Huang Feng nodded: "Assume first, then deny. Assuming that Liu Xuetian was stabbed in the back when he resisted, then the problem is that no one in the mansion heard the shouting, and there was no trace of resistance at the scene.

And after the assassin killed Liu Xuetian, why did he need to help him back to the chair and let him lie on the table?

Manager Cheng reenacted Liu Xuetian's death, and his expression was only slightly painful, indicating that he was stabbed suddenly, and the interval from the stabbing to death was very short. I am more inclined to believe that he was sitting on the chair without getting up when he was stabbed. "

Li Motang nodded and agreed: "This shows that Liu Xuetian knew the murderer. "

Huang Feng spread his hands: "If so, more than a hundred people in the mansion are suspects, not to mention that there may be people outside the mansion."

Xiao Nuan actively expressed his opinions on the side, wanting to show Huang Feng and Li Motang that he was still quite smart: "The guards in the mansion can be ruled out, how could they walk behind Lord Liu casually. "

"That's not necessarily true." Huang Feng suddenly waved, "Come here, I'll tell you a little secret."

Xiao Nuan came to Huang Feng curiously: "What secret?"

Huang Feng said mysteriously: "Ear. "

Xiao Nuan lowered her head.

Huang Feng whispered: "The secret is... you are a little fool!"

"Mr. Huang, you..." Xiao Nuan ran to Li Motang and cried, "The young lady bullied me!"

Huang Feng explained: "See, if the guard suddenly came in and told Liu Xuetian that he had something very important to tell, such as Manager Cheng or a servant, guard and a concubine committing adultery, it would not be easy to kill him while he was whispering."
