Chapter 025 It turns out that the money is too little

"...It's not that he was jealous and killed the person."

Xu'er listened to her eldest lady's lips slightly moving and read this sentence with the clerk.

"Miss?" She was extremely surprised.

Chi Yun smiled slightly, stretched out her finger and made a gesture to silence, signaling her to listen.

When the clerk finished reading this paragraph, Lou Yan looked at Mr. Yu with a smile.

Yu Muzhi was a little confused.

He was not stupid. Seeing Lou Yan doing this, he guessed that he should have missed something, and now he has fallen into a passive state. If he opens his mouth again, it will become a ladder and let the other party step on it.

But he was so curious!

Touch your heart and soul!

So he asked: "What's wrong with this passage? How could he conclude that he was the murderer?"

Everyone in the front hall thought so too. After hearing Mr. Yu ask this for them, he looked at Lou Yan together.

Say it quickly!

Lou Yan said: "I believe Mr. Yu had heard that when Xiao Lian died, the doors and windows of the house were closed and the person was hung inside."

"Not bad." This is why everyone is curious about watching the fun.

Lou Yanxu said: "How can there be a real secret room in this world killing people? It's just a trick. We checked the house and confirmed that there is no other place to enter and exit. Then, there is only one possibility. The murderer walked in through the gate, killed someone, and came out again."

"Since the doors and windows are locked, where does he come out? Will he be able to shrink bones?" someone shouted.

Lou Yan smiled and suddenly dissolved the murderous aura on his body.

"I have heard of the bone shrinkage technique, but shrinking myself into a piece of paper and coming out of the crack of the door is not a martial art, but a magic trick."

The spectators were so brave that he smiled.

Someone shouted: "What is the secret? Tell me quickly, don't swear!"

"It's very simple. He just came out of the house."

Everyone looked at each other.

What's the silence? Wasn't the door locked?

"Locked, but opened later."

When he touched his gaze, Yu Muzhi let out a "ah" and pointed at him and vented his breath.

"It seems that Mr. Yu's second son has already thought of it." Lou Yan picked up the teacup and drank it slowly.

Yu Muzhi finally gasped and said, "That man hid in the house for a night, and later his body was found and he came out of the crowd watching the fun."

Lou Yan nodded with a smile.

Yu Muzhi then frowned: "But how can you be sure that this person is the murderer? Isn't there any suspicion for anyone who has not been absent that night?"

Lou Yan said lightly: "Young Master Yu, think about it, what's wrong with what I said just now."

Everyone was thinking hard.

"When I was watching the fun, I hit the incense burner and went back and threw my clothes..."

Yu Muzhi stared at the blue-gray cloth dress on the ground.

"Incense burner, incense..."

"Mr. Yu's second young master is really quick-witted and has already thought of it." Lou Yan said lightly, "As we all know, this Xiao Lian is extravagant, and the clothes and jewelry she wears are not ordinary, so how can the fragrance she uses be ordinary? This fragrance is called Niannujiao, and several of the raw materials come from Anxi, Kucha and other Western Regions, which are very rare."

"But didn't he say that? It only took the incense burner to get the fragrance!" Someone shouted loudly in the spectator.

Lou Yan smiled and looked at Yu Muzhi: "Young Master Yu, can you answer this question?"

Yu Muzhi nodded silently and replied softly: "When you are in the hospitality, you will definitely burn incense. Xiao Lian died in the middle of the night, so you will not add incense. When the body was found, it would be extinguished. Only those who were in the house in the middle of the night would be removed from the corner of their clothes. Only those who stayed in the house for a night would be afraid that the fragrance would be too heavy and suspicious, and throw away their clothes."

Lou Yan nodded: "Do you still have any questions?"

Yu Muzhi shook his head.

"So that's how it is!" Dai Jia finally figured it out, "This doctor in the building is indeed a bit capable."

Chi Zhang didn't expect that his seemingly ridiculous behavior had a deep meaning. But he really didn't like Lou Yan's behavior like this, so he frowned and refused to speak.

But Dai Jia was arrogant and insisted on teasing him: "Hey, do you still think it's unreliable?"

Chi Zhang was forced to the point of being unable to do so, so he had to say, "Even if it makes sense, it's too far-fetched! The spices should have been burned, but there is no doubt that there is any remaining one? It's not uncommon to burn halfway through the fire."

As soon as he finished speaking, the caught guy shouted, "It's unfair! When the little one knocked down the incense burner, there was still a residual fragrance, which would burn. Besides, the clothes were like this, how do you know if the fragrance was heavy?"

"This..." Yu Muzhi was speechless when asked.

Isn't it? I've been thrown away for a day. If it weren't for the chaotic soldiers of the Zui Taiping Army, I'd probably have sent them out. They were piled up with the miscellaneous items and the smell was mixed. It's hard to say whether the fragrance is heavy or not.

Lou Yan smiled, leaned forward slightly, and leaned over to the man.

"Big, sir..." The guy's eyes flashed, but he looked unafraid, "You are not afraid of being beaten, don't even think of a fight!"

With so many people here, his punishment will definitely arouse public anger!

Lou Yan said, "You are indeed very brave and dare to hold people hostage and threaten my official."

"I don't!" The man looked humiliated, "It's just evidence from the lord, and it really can't be convinced! How can you be sure that there were no remaining Mars at that time? The fragrance on the clothes was so strong?"

Lou Yan nodded: "What you said makes sense, but..."

But? What evidence is there?

"Do you know why I pay special attention to spices?" Lou Yan looked at him and smiled, "Because, I have been a child with a different sense of smell than ordinary people. Even if you lose your clothes, your hair and other places still have a strong fragrance."

"This is impossible." The man blurted out, "I've washed it all!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the front hall was in a big uproar.

Oh, washed.

Don't tell me!

The man panicked and said, "I mean, I happened to take a shower last night!"

At this moment, a guy shouted loudly: "Zhu Chang, it turns out that you took a shower yesterday because of this! I said why did you take a shower in broad daylight and you didn't even want to wait for hot water!"

Although it is already spring, the weather is still cold. Drunk and peace are not so harsh that there is no hot water supply. Who wouldn’t want to take a warm bath and have to rub cold water?

There is no need to question it anymore.

Lou Yan smiled and said coldly: "Take it back!"

"Yes!" The officers agreed, lifted up the mates, put the others away, and tied them up and took them out.

"Oh." Before leaving, Lou Yan Shiran took out a silver note from his sleeve, "Thank you for the tea fee. I am not easy to collect, so I will suppress them!"

The silver note shook slightly and fell on the table.

If you make up the amount of fifty taels, if you give it to these guys, each person will have two or three taels, which will be worth their two months of wages.

But if the tea and water fee for the doctor of the Ministry of Justice is only so small, it is no wonder that they think it is too little.

This Lou Yan thought that the money was too low and he actually slapped him in the face in public, and he was not afraid of being impeached!

Dai Jia put on Chi Zhang's shoulder and whispered: "Fortunately your family gave him five hundred taels..."
