I don’t know whether it was the fourth son who was too clever, or whether the two weak leaders Zhan Zhao and Zhao Zhen joined forces to work together. In short, the unsolved case that was originally "no way out before the mountain" suddenly became "a village with dark flowers and bright flowers"

.

Seeing that there were no clues, and everything falling from the sky were clues, everyone went out to buy a building, and directly found the mummified body of the suspected murderer of the "West Lake Floating Corpse Case"...

But the most unlucky ones were the Li family who were selling their properties, apart from E Ming, the young master of Crocodile Island who was splashed with unknown liquid, hit in the eyeball and caught a dead head.

Butler Li stomped his feet. His young master had already confessed when he was selling the house. It doesn’t matter how much money you have. The most important thing is that everything goes smoothly and you don’t get into trouble. As a result, not only did you get into trouble, but you got into a lawsuit. It was also a lawsuit over human life. This is downstairs.

How can I sell it if it becomes a haunted house?

Master Bao asked Butler Li the detailed identity of the deceased.

Butler Li didn’t know much. After all, he was the tenant five years ago. He only knew that his surname was Qian, because everyone in the music store called him Boss Qian. His full name and the person who handled the leasing at that time were all handled by another member of the Li family.

, Because the statute of limitations of the lease has expired, it is not clear whether the Li family housekeeper still exists. Moreover, this person has paid the rent for five years again. The landlord basically meets the tenant to collect rent, and he has paid the money for five years.

After that, the landlord will naturally not come looking for him.

Mr. Bao looked at Mr. Qin. The butler's attitude was obviously becoming cautious.

Mr. Qin also frowned. Even if Butler Li knew something, he would probably not say it easily. Butlers from such a large family are more difficult to deal with. He was afraid that he would say the wrong thing and cause trouble for the master. Now it is not a trivial matter, it is a life-threatening lawsuit.

Being involved in a major case involving more than a dozen lives, he didn't even dare to talk nonsense.

Master Qin and Master Bao did not let him go back, but asked him to wait on the first floor.

…

At the same time, Bai Yutang, who refused to go upstairs, was still waiting at the door with his little fourth son in his arms. The two of them were quite bored waiting.

The fourth son held his chin with one hand and leaned on Bai Yutang's shoulder. With the other hand, he held a strand of Master Wu's hair and shook it around, as if he was thinking about something.

Since one person and one person were too good-looking, and they were standing at the door of the crime scene, if it weren't for the government officials blocking them, they would have been watched. Even so, many people were looking at them.

…

In a snack shop not far away, Lin Yehuo, Xiao Liang, Shen Yuanchen and Tang Luomei were eating snacks, each holding a bowl of small wontons.

The four of them came here to inquire about the situation, but they ended up being the ones being inquired about. The clerks at the pastry shop gossiped about what was going on.

But Lin Yehuo asked them if they knew the residents in the small building, and found that the nearby shops had only been open for a year or two, and no one had seen the owner of the small building.

"Hey! Someone lives in that building, right?"

“I always thought it was an abandoned ancient building.”

"Yes, I thought it was because the government kept it locked all year round to protect the historical sites."

"It looks like it's about to collapse."

Xiao Liangzi was curious and asked the clerk, are there no shops that are more than three years old nearby?

The clerk said that it was indeed not the case. This place was not originally a street. It was newly built the year before last, so there are no shops here that are more than three years old.

"If it wasn't originally a trip to the street, then where was it?" Tang Luomei asked.

"This was originally a bathhouse." The waiter ran to the door and pointed it out to everyone. "When I got older, the owner of the bathhouse demolished the bathhouse because the prices in this area were low and expensive, and turned it into a street store for rent, which was more profitable than the bathhouse.

too much."

Huofeng and his three children nodded while eating wontons, "That's it..."

The three children gathered together to discuss.

"The more I talk about it, the more I feel it has something to do with the case back then!"

"Isn't that right? The murderer might be someone missing a finger found in the bathhouse!"

"That's right. You can see your flaws most clearly when you take a shower!"

Lin Yehuo held the spoon, raised his head, and saw Zhan Zhao standing on the roof of the small building looking around.

Huofeng said to himself, "The bathhouse was demolished three years ago, and the case was stopped three years ago... um..."

"Boss, will the bathhouse be rebuilt after it is demolished?" Shen Yuanchen was quite worried about the bathing problem of people nearby.

The boss made him amused and shook his head, "It's not open. The bathhouse is open. You have to open it at the dock, the market and other places to have business. There are many people there, and they are all sweaty and dusty after working. Take a bath.

Let’s go home. There are so many tourists around here, who wants to take a bath while visiting the West Lake? Besides, Hangzhou is so hot in summer, half of the year you can just jump into the river and take a bath..."

Huofeng listened and walked for a while, then asked, "Then the landlord who rents the shop to you now is the same owner as the owner of the bathhouse back then?"

"yes!"

"Which family does it belong to?"

"Mr. Li's wife."

Lin Yehuo gestured to Li Fu, who was still standing at the door of the building, "Is that the boss of Butler Li?"

"Oh, no, it's another Li family." The clerk waved his hand and introduced Lin Yehuo, "There are two Li families in Hangzhou, the Li family in the south of the city and the Li family in the north. The steward Li is from the Li family in the south of the city.

The shop we have here is owned by the Li family in the north of the city. These two families are from the same clan, but their relationship is very bad and they don’t usually interact with each other."

Huo Feng found it funny, "You know all this?"

"Well, everyone in the city knows about the Li family!" The clerk was quite gossipy. "The Li family in the south of the city has an elder named Li Baorong. The Li family in the north of the city has an elder named Li Baohua. There are two brothers named Li Baofu and Li Baorong.

Li Guigui. The four brothers of the old Li family were named Ronghua Fugui. It is said that the head of the Li family was a relative of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and they had many properties and land in Lin'an Mansion. The father of the four brothers Ronghua Fugui used to be the richest man in Lin'an, and they had many wives and concubines at home.

The brothers were born to different mothers. Mr. Li was in poor health and basically didn't care about family affairs. Ronghua Wealthy quarreled every day and wanted to separate the family. Later, when the old man passed away, the family property was immediately divided into four parts. The two Ronghua brothers were more domineering, and the family members

Basically all the real estate and land were occupied by them. After the Fugui brothers divided part of the money, they both left Hangzhou and went to other places. The Ronghua family occupied the south and the north, and they just collected rent every day, but the Li family

It’s not as good as it used to be. Now the richest family in Lin’an is the Xie family.”

Lin Yehuo and the three children nodded as they listened - no wonder there is a small building left over from the previous dynasty, it is an ancestral property.

"Now that Baorong and Baohua are not in good health, the family affairs are left to the next generation. The head of the Baorong family is Li Chengfeng, and the young master of the Baohua family is Li Chengde.

Even if they are cousins, their relationship is not very good. The original bathhouse here belonged to Li Chengde, the second generation ancestor. There is one thing after another. I don’t know what I thought. I opened a bathhouse in such a good location, but ended up losing money.

It’s a lot. But I don’t care if my family is rich. I demolished the bathhouse and rebuilt shops a few years ago, so I should have recovered my money long ago..."

Tang Luomei asked the waiter, "Don't you know that the dilapidated building opposite belongs to Li Chengfeng's family?"

"I really don't know." The clerks and shopkeepers all shook their heads, "I didn't know until I saw Li Fu today, but Li Chengfeng is relatively low-key and has a better reputation than his cousin Li Chengde."

…

Not far away, the fifth master noticed that there were more and more people watching, so he asked the yawning fourth son, "Do you want to change places?"

The fourth son pointed at the small building and said, "Okay! Go to the second floor..."

Fifth Master hugged him and went to the shop opposite.

We also arrived at the dim sum shop. Bai Yutang handed the fourth child to the three Liangchenmei brothers, and the younger Liangzi ordered a bowl of wontons for the fourth child.

Lin Yehuo fished out a wonton and teased Bai Yutang, "Oh! Look! Does it look like the one that rolled out of the bottle just now?"

Before the fifth master could say anything, Mizo Ryōtatsu took her chopsticks and threw the fire phoenix at her - I'm so disgusting to you!

The fourth son stretched out his little hand to stop Lin Yehuo from bullying Bai Yutang, and turned to greet the waiter, "Do you have any longan?"

Fifth Master looked at the vengeful little dumpling helplessly.

After the little boy finished his mischief, he helped Bai Yutang order Huyuqian Longjing, and also ordered a grapefruit for him to relieve his nausea.

Fifth Master smelled the smell of grapefruit, drank tea, and looked at Zhan Zhao who was still standing on the roof.

At this time, Lin Yehuo poked him.

The fifth master lowered his head and saw the fire phoenix indicating that he could not look far away.

Bai Yutang turned around and saw Yang Yiying and Shen Jinshi standing together and talking under a willow tree not far from the small building.

Xiao Liangzi was also puzzled, "Huh? Aren't they two following E Ming and the other Mo Mu Yu? How come they got together?"

"Tsk, tsk" Shen Yuanchen and Tang Luomei both shook their heads, "They feel like they are just trying to stir up dissension and watch a good show!"

Yang Yiying and Shen Jinshi said something, and when they saw Bai Yutang and Lin Yehuo in the opposite building, they stopped talking and walked to both ends separately.

At this time, both E Ming and Mo Muyu walked out of the small building.

Since they were the first to discover the body, the police also asked them questions. They told them where they lived and then went back.

E Ming walked out, wrapped in a blanket with a look of misfortune and embarrassment, and walked south with Yang Yiying. Mo Muyu was relatively relaxed, and E Ming was much more unlucky than him. He was also a little gloating about his misfortune, and had something to say to Shen Jinshi.

He walked north with a smile.

The Fifth Master secretly shook his head - as the saying goes, gentlemen are harmonious but different, and villains are harmonious but not harmonious. These gangsters only talk about benevolence and righteousness, but they are all calculating in their hearts.

At this time, Zhan Zhao finally left the roof and returned to the third floor along the way.

Opening the cabinet on the third floor, there were several boxes made of bamboo and rattan stacked inside. Zhan Zhao took out the box and smelled a strange smell. When he opened it, he found several bloody clothes inside. The blood stains on the clothes had dried and turned black and hard.

, with a musty and rancid smell.

Zhan Zhao closed the box with some disgust and went to the side to open a camphor wood box. There were some clothes without blood stains inside, which seemed to be changed by "Boss Qian" on weekdays.

There was a screen behind the box. Zhan Zhao walked around the screen and saw a bathtub. There was no water in the basin, but there were many scratches around the bathtub and on the floor.

Based on these traces, Zhan Zhao can basically deduce that the deceased should have been drowned by the murderer in this bathtub, and the West Lake was just a place where the bodies were dumped. No wonder there are so many fracture marks on the body of the deceased, and the murderer's murder method was quite similar.
