Chapter 724: A Series of Tragic Events

Wang Qilang Inn has survived all these storms and is still operating beyond normal business. This shows how strong its legs are and how big its background is. The case of the tragic death of the top scholar has not been announced yet, and there are many speculations from the outside world.

The inn has fewer people, so who dares to wade into the muddy water before the result is clear. Wang Qilang was still in a daze and sat at the counter all day. Li Changxiao had already paid off the bad debt, so he didn't have to sell his labor anymore. He sat in the lobby all day, ordered a few small drinks and a few small dishes, and was leisurely.

Ximi Country is indeed a small country, but there may be something else behind it. Li Changxiao came here by accident. Half a day later, Moler and Su Wang changed into plain clothes, wearing black hats, and sneaked into Wang Qilang Inn from the side door.

Wang Qilang was shocked and thought that the matter was not over. Moler and Su Wang were the Black and White Impermanence, coming to claim his life! Tears fell, legs went numb, face turned pale.

While thinking about it, Moler and Su Wang knelt down together. They were not here to arrest the criminal, but to pay homage. They were respectful to Li Changxiao and treated Wang Qilang with courtesy.

So.

Moler and Su Wang were both junior officials of Datian Temple. Although they had the responsibility to solve the case, the result still had to satisfy His Majesty. After they returned, they immediately reported to His Majesty. When they said that the champion committed suicide, they were very worried, but they had no way to deal with it. If His Majesty punishes them and imposes a capital crime, they can only swallow their anger and admit it.

Unexpectedly, the report was well-reasoned. After reading it, His Majesty felt that Moler and Su Wang had made progress. But it was obvious that the case had not been completely sorted out. For example, why did Song Zhuo commit suicide, the longevity flower, etc., there were still many doubts. So they sent two people to continue the investigation.

The two people were investigating, but unexpectedly, at this moment, another major case occurred. A high-ranking official of the dynasty also committed suicide in his own courtyard!

The common point is that there is also a longevity flower next to the corpse of the high-ranking official. The flower blooms conspicuously, fluttering in the wind, like a raging fire. Moler and Su Wang investigated the scene based on the detective knowledge they learned from Li Changxiao, and were shocked to find that although the high-ranking official also "hanged himself", there were many people coming and going at the scene, which might not be suicide.

So they followed the clues, looked for clues, detained everyone in the mansion, and tried to solve the case as soon as possible. Who knew that in less than half a day, another official hanged himself in his tree house. The death was similar, and two major cases were reported in one day. Datian Temple was terrified, and everyone lost their appetite and couldn't sleep.

So early in the morning of that day, Moler and Su Wang came, knelt on the ground, and said, "This case involves too many people, and there may be evil spirits involved. Please help me, sir." They were extremely respectful.

Li Changxiao didn't dare to call himself a sir. He was thinking, Mei Sanniang became a king of a country, but she left a mess behind. I don't know whether it was intentional or not. No matter whether it was intentional or not, the two evil spirits in the vegetable market dominated the vegetable market back then. How glorious it was, I must get a position and use the power of the tiger to bully others.

And this matter is very strange. Since it has hit me head on, it will not hurt to take care of it and investigate it, even if it means being called "meddling". So he walked around behind Moller and Su Wang, and put his hands on their shoulders: "Come on, take me to see."

Without any airs, Moller and Su Wang looked at each other with strange eyes. They came here to lower their posture and address each other as "Mr.", which really meant asking for advice and respect. However, at this moment, they were arm in arm, as if they were friends of the same generation, relaxed and comfortable, quite harmonious. The two had never seen such a "Mr."

It was difficult to say "Mr.", and they hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to address each other. Li Changxiao smiled and said, "Just call me Lao Li."

The word "Mr." is too high.

The two walked towards a mansion with their arms around each other's shoulders. It was said that they walked side by side, but in fact, Li Changxiao was playing tricks. As he walked, his feet suddenly shrank and hung in the air. The whole body seemed to be hanging between Moller and Su Wang.

Moler and Su Wang were much stronger than ordinary people, so they could carry one more person without any problem. However, the streets were crowded with people, which inevitably attracted strange looks. Thinking of his current posture, he couldn't help but feel ashamed. They all thought in their hearts: "This senior seems to be too playful and has a very strange personality, but he doesn't seem to be difficult to get along with."

Soon, they arrived at the residence of a high-ranking official. The tree house was about ten feet high and occupied a large area. Several tree houses were intertwined and connected to each other, covering a very large area.

I also saw that the tree house had everything, including a pool for jade dew, ripe fruits in the tree house, nests made by birds, and vines hanging down.

The official residence was indeed different. Li Changxiao secretly compared it and found that although the Ximi country was small, the quality of the residence was really not inferior to that of a first-class country. The local folk customs and characteristics were quite interesting. Entering the mansion, there is a different world. The tree has a courtyard, beautiful scenery and a garden.

The corpse of the senior official was hung in the garden. In the garden, there are hundreds of flowers competing for beauty, but among them, a bright red flower is the most eye-catching.

It is the longevity flower.

Among all the flowers, it is the only one that is beautiful. Among all the flowers, it is the only one that is lonely. Li Changxiao gently stroked the longevity flower. Even if the longevity flower has a flowering period of a hundred years, so what? It will eventually wither and die.

Li Changxiao took a closer look and knew that this was a senior official. He did not commit suicide. He was murdered. This senior official was tall and strong. At first glance, his death was similar to Song Zhuo, but in the subtle details, there was a big difference.

Before his death, the senior official's eyes were closed and there were several creases on his clothes on his back, because he was first anesthetized and then hung in the garden. Without any consciousness, his life passed away little by little, and finally he died.

The case has obvious traces, so there is no need to speculate. Moller and Su Wang were impressed after hearing this. They felt that it was very simple, but they could not think of it by themselves.

At the same time, they were inexplicably obsessed with this process of deducing through details. Seeing Li Changxiao solving the case as if it was fun, they admired him.

But what the two did not know was that Li Changxiao could also observe dreams, although he intended not to use this ability to increase the fun of solving the case. But every time he finished his deduction, he would pick up a few pieces of dream fragments to prove it in his mind.

There was a strong suspicion of cheating.
