Chapter 87: Interrogation

Li Xiuran and his men, led by Captain Huang and the yamen runners, came to the prison. They walked on the road and asked, "What clues can be found in the case?"

Captain Huang smiled bitterly and said, "After bringing the person back last night, Bei Zhi interrogated him overnight, but he didn't ask anything and no clue was found at the scene."

Li Xiuran frowned and said, "Have you checked the kitchen? How did Lu Hui get poison? Have you found out?"

Captain Huang said: "I have checked it. The chef who cooked for Captain Lu last night, the servant who served him, and the maid who served him, have been interrogated and no one has admitted it yet.

The remaining food and food of Lord Lu had ordered people to test it, but there was no sign of being poisoned. It is still unknown how Captain Lu was poisoned."

It's like finding nothing... Li Xiuran was a little disappointed and had a headache. This case seemed to be more difficult than he expected.

"Here, sir." The yamen runner brought a few people to the precept room and stopped.

Inside, several figures were tied to a shelf, all of which were disheveled and were listless. The prison uniforms they were wearing were marked with blood marks, and they obviously experienced severe torture.

One of them was Ruyan, and the situation was slightly better than the others. The prison uniforms were clean. It was obvious that the captain Huang sold the face of the madam and did not torture her.

But she was arrested and imprisoned for a night, and her expression was also haggard and listless. She didn't see her all night, as if she was ten years old, and there was no beauty and charm that she had last night.

It seemed that she still remembered Li Xiuran. When she heard the movement outside the door, she looked up and saw Li Xiuran, a glimmer suddenly flashed in her originally numb eyes, and then she said excitedly:

"Sir, I'm wronged. Lord Lu really didn't kill him. I'll tell you clearly."

The voice woke up the others, all looked at Li Xiuran and the others, and shouted.

"Sir, please let me go, I'm wronged."

"I didn't use poison, and I don't know why Lord Lu was poisoned."

"Shut up my mouth whenever you make a noise or a quarrel." The jailer immediately cursed and stepped forward, raised his hand and whipped a prisoner with a whip.

The man screamed, and the others were frightened when they saw this, and hurriedly closed their mouths, and the discipline room became quiet again.

"Sir, Ruyan, the chef, servant and other suspects are here. What do you want to ask, just ask."

Several people entered the door, and Captain Huang introduced.

Li Xiuran nodded slightly and looked directly at Ruyan.

The others, Captain Huang, had been interrogated and had been sentenced. He has not asked anything until now, and he may not be able to ask anything if he asks again.

"Your Majesty ordered me to investigate this case. Now I have a few questions to ask you. If the person was not killed by you, please answer the truth. Only in this way can you prove your innocence. Do you understand?"

Ruyan nodded quickly: "Sir, I will definitely speak out."

Li Xiuran said lightly: "Have you eaten last night's wine and food?"

Ru Yan said: "I drank a few glasses of wine with Lord Lu, but I just tasted the dishes."

That is, I have eaten it and eaten wine and food. Lu Hui died, but she is fine. There are only two possibilities: either the wine and food are not poisonous, or she has the antidote.

Captain Huang just said that he had ordered people to test the wine and food, but he also found that it was not poisonous.

In this way, the poisonous food and food can be basically eliminated... Li Xiuran secretly speculated and asked again: "Last night, you said that Lu Hui said he was a little tired, but he died after sleeping.

Did he feel tired before he arrived at you, or did he feel tired after he arrived?"

Ruyan recalled and said, "Mr. Lu arrived as usual, nothing unusual, right... he said he was a little tired after he finished doing it."

That is to say, Lu Hui's poison is likely to be in Tianxiang Pavilion!

But the wine and food are not poisonous, so how did the murderer poison him?

Li Xiuran frowned slightly: "Have he ever been out of the middle?"

Ruyan shook her head: "After Lord Lu came, he stayed in the room with me. He knew that his literary talent was not good. He didn't even go out to see Sister Xiangling's house, and he had never gone out until the accident."

Very dedicated... Li Xiuran smacked his lips and frowned again, "Was anyone here to find him?"

Ruyan: "There is one."

Li Xiuran's eyes lit up: "Who is it?"

Ruyan frowned and said, "I don't recognize you, but I heard Lord Lu call him Mr. Yan."

Young Master Yan? Is Yan Cheng?

Li Xiuran instantly remembered Yan Cheng whom he met at Tianxiang Pavilion last night and asked: "Did he wear a moon-white robe, tall and strong, with a white face without beard?"

Ruyan immediately said, "That's right, sir, can you recognize him?"

It's really a strict process!

Li Xiuran was excited and suddenly remembered that Yan Cheng was in Tianxiang Pavilion yesterday. When he met him, he seemed to have just come down from the building, so he was not with Hu Ruikang. He didn't arrive until they had a conflict.

Could it be that he went to see Lu Hui at that time?

"When did he go to find Lu Hui? How long did he stay? What did both of them say?"

Ruyan recalled: "It was not long after Lord Lu came to the room, and he came here. It should be around Shen Shi. He didn't say anything. He just toasted a glass of wine, chatted with Lord Lu for a few words, and left shortly afterwards."

Shen Shi, when they arrived at Tianxiang Pavilion, it was Shen Shi, which means that Yan Cheng had just finished seeing Lu Hui.

Then Lu Hui died soon after, by chance? Or is it that the murderer who poisoned was Yan Cheng?

Li Xiuran frowned and said, "Are you there all the time?"

Ruyan nodded: "I have been serving you all the time."

He was there all the time, and he had no chance to poison him. Is it a coincidence? He met Lu Hui, but he just went over to toast a glass of wine?

Li Xiuran thought secretly and asked again: "Has no one else found Lu Hui except him?"

Ruyan shook her head: "He is the only one."

Li Xiuran asked a few more questions and interrogated others, but still found no useful clues, so he could only give up temporarily:

"I'll ask this one today. Think about it carefully and see if there are any details left out. I'll notify me at any time when I think about it."

Ruyan suddenly looked panicked: "Sir, I have said everything I know. I really didn't kill people, can't I let me go?"

"You can't let you leave before the case is solved, but don't worry, I will find out the case as soon as possible. If the murderer is really not you, I will definitely clear you up." Li Xiuran comforted him.

Ruyan looked disappointed, but she had no choice but to look at him begging: "I hope that lord can solve the case as soon as possible and restore my innocence."

Li Xiuran nodded and left the prison with Yang Wenxin and others.

"Do you hear anything?"

Lin Fengkai frowned and said, "At present, the two people are the most suspicious. One is Ruyan. She was lying just now, and the murderer was her!"

“I don’t think it’s like.”
