All the guests present were stunned.

Sun Mengwu, the popular singer who was crowned the capital with her sword dance, died in the Huang Mansion in full view of the public. Although Sun Mengwu was famous, her status in the capital was extremely high. Needless to say, this must have caused a sensation in the capital.

major case.

Huang Youcai turned even pale.

For this birthday banquet, he asked his connections to spend money to invite the Sun family, but he never thought that he would die in his own home.

If you get involved in a lawsuit, you will have to shed your skin even if you don't die.

He turned his attention to Yang Deshui, the vice-president of the Six Doors.

Yang Deshui was invited to the banquet today and only brought two attendants with him. Seeing this scene, he immediately ordered the Huang Mansion to be cordoned off and sent people to the Liumen Yamen to report the case. He shouted: "Come here and arrest the three suspects on the stage!

"

The old birthday boy was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

Li Qingniu shouted: "We didn't do it!"

Yang Deshui said with a cold face, "If it's not you, is it me?"

"It's not impossible!"

"presumptuous!"

Fan Xiaodao's mind turned quickly. What happened today was unexpected. He wanted to make some money, but he was involved in a lawsuit. If he was the only one, he could escape with his martial arts, but he couldn't leave Li Qingniu alone, not to mention, once

Escape would solidify the evidence that he committed murder. He said: "Sir, this matter should be discussed in the long term!"

"It's not your turn to speak!"

There were a hundred guests present, and they were all left in the front yard.

The old birthday boy woke up and quickly explained that Fan and Li were not their people, they were just temporary helpers. They did not know each other before. Yang Deshui ordered people to inspect Fan Xiaodao and Li Qingniu's road guide.

, not long after, someone came to report: "Yang Captou, these two people are not on the guest list."

"The murderer must be you. Someone comes and escorts the two of them back to prison!"

Niu Dafu, who was in the backyard, heard what happened here and came to the front yard and said: "Sir, these two people are my friends and I invited them here. I have been with them today. If they are the murderers, wouldn't it be me?"

Also became a murderer?"

Yang Deshui said calmly: "This is what you said."

Huang Youcai was already anxious and worried. When he saw his son talking nonsense, he even stepped forward to laugh and said, "Sir, there must be a misunderstanding about this. Ms. Sun is a distinguished guest that we paid a lot of money to invite. How could we have any ill intentions towards her?"

?I hope you will uphold justice, catch the murderer as soon as possible, and restore our innocence."

While they were talking, a young head catcher came to the Huang Mansion with more than ten police officers.

Fan Xiaodao knew this person, it was Zhao Xing whom he had met in the restaurant today. When Yang Deshui saw that the person coming was Zhao Xing, his face was a little unhappy, "Why is it you?"

Zhao Xing cupped his hands and said, "Master Sun, this subordinate is on duty tonight."

"Where's Ding Yi?"

Zhao Xing shook his head and expressed ignorance.

Although Liumen belongs to the Ministry of Justice and is responsible for arresting thefts, there are many factions inside. Yang Deshui relies on the people in the palace and is domineering in Liumen, and does not take the chief arrester Zhuge Xianyu into his eyes. Although Zhao Xing has no factions,

But he didn't respect him on weekdays, and he disobeyed him several times, which made Yang Deshui very unhappy. Although Sun Mengwu was a singer, she had close relationships with many big shots in the court, and was also a guest of the current academicians. She is today

The death must be a major case that shocked the capital. If this case can be solved, it will be a great achievement for Yang Deshui. Therefore, when he saw that the person coming was not his right-hand man Ding Yi, his face immediately darkened.

Although there are conflicts internally, to outsiders, they are all people from the Six Doors.

Zhao Xing quickly stepped into the role and ordered people to keep all the guests in the courtyard and investigate them one by one. Zhao Xing saw Fan Xiaodao and was surprised: "Why is it you again?"

Fan Xiaodao laughed, "Brother Zhao, what a coincidence!"

Yang Deshui said, "These two are important suspects. If Zhao Xingru knows them, it would be better to avoid this case."

Zhao Xing said, "I only have a chance encounter with you, not an acquaintance. If you don't have any advice, I'll go investigate the case first."

Although Yang Deshui had a higher official position than Zhao Xing, he was not responsible for investigating the case in Liumen, and he had no authority to investigate the case. When he heard that Zhao Xing was so disrespectful, he just snorted and remained silent. Zhao Xing said to Fan Xiaodao

: "You are the one who brought the head, and you are the most suspicious. Don't leave my sight until the truth is found out."

Wu Zuo had already buried Sun Mengwu's head and sent it to Zhao Xing.

The head of Sun Mengwu, who was extremely majestic in the contemporary era and was the most powerful person in the country, was lying quietly in a wooden box. His face was pale and there was no blood at all. Fan Xiaodao came forward and asked curiously: "How come there is no blood?"

Logically speaking, if the head was chopped off, the blood in the chest would surge, but Sun Mengwu's head was very clean, as if he was sleeping soundly.

This is a little weird.

Zhao Xing looked at the head as if he were looking at an object, looked around, pointed to a strangulation mark on the neck, and said: "The murderer first strangled the victim with a rope, and then cut off her head with a sharp knife. From the incision marks,

Look, the opponent only used one knife, which shows that this person has great martial arts skills, but how he managed to do it without any trace of blood is still unclear." He turned around and asked: "Who was the last person to see Sun Mengwu?"

A servant said: "She is the maid of the Sun family. After learning that her master was killed, she fainted from fright."

"Wake her up, I have something to ask."

After a while, a maid in Tsing Yi who was crying so hard came to Zhao Xing and saluted Yingying. Zhao Xing asked, "When was the last time you saw Sun Mengwu?"

The maid cried and said: "When we were on the carriage, Miss Sun was a little depressed. After arriving at the inner courtyard of the Huang Mansion, she said she felt unwell. It was a while before dark, so she went to the guest room to rest. I went to the guest room with a few sisters.

I was preparing for the performance at the front desk, and then I heard about the murder of the young lady backstage, wow!"

"Has she offended anyone recently?"

The little maid said: "That's not true, it's just that recently there is a Mr. Lan who has been harassing the young lady and wants to help the young lady redeem her life. The young lady has been avoiding her. The young Mr. Lan is so entangled and angry that he even threatened to take revenge on her a few days ago.

However, I haven’t seen him in the past few days.”

Li Qingniu said: "In my opinion, Mr. Lan is quite suspicious. We don't have anything to do here, so I'll leave first!"

Zhao Xing glared at him, making Li Qingniu take two steps back in fright.

Fan Xiaodao said: "Today on the long street, I saw Sun Mengwu. I was a little far away at first. I thought her face was a bit ugly. She must have been threatened."

Zhao Xing nodded and asked the maid a few more questions. Except for an inexplicable Mr. Lan, there were no clues, so he asked the maid to leave. Fan Xiaodao said: "This woman lied."

Zhao Xing asked, "Have you seen it too?"

Fan Xiaodao smiled and said: "Lying, I'm a professional."

Zhao Xing became interested in Fan Xiaodao and asked, "Did you kill that person?"

Fan Xiaodao was speechless.

If he says no, then he is lying and should be arrested. If he says yes, then he admits it and should be arrested. Fan Xiaodao just said it casually, but Zhao Xing caught the loophole and had to say: "Yes or no, it depends.

Look, Capt. Zhao is aware of this."

Zhao Xingdao: "Let's go and see the body."

Everyone came to the guest room in the villa.

When the Huang family invited Sun Mengwu, Baihualou had put forward the conditions that they must prepare a separate resting place, and apart from the performance, they would not meet with outsiders during the period, and they could not force Sun Mengwu to accompany them. Although the conditions were a bit harsh, Huang Youcai

He agreed anyway, but who would have expected that as soon as Sun Mengwu moved in, he would not be able to come out alive.

Sun Mengwu's headless body was lying on the floor of the guest room.

The room was very tidy, the stools and bedding were neatly placed, and there were no signs of fighting.

The clothes were also clean, with no blood stains.

This confused Fan Xiaodao.

Zhao Xing asked: "What do you think?"

Although Fan Xiaodao was determined to enter the Six Doors, he knew nothing about investigating the case. He said, "Of course I saw it with my eyes." Li Qingniu chuckled, and Fan Xiaodao said, "What are you laughing at? What do you think?"

Li Qingniu said matter-of-factly: "Based on the situation at the scene, I judge that Miss Sun probably did not commit suicide."

Fan Xiaodaoxin said nonsense, have you ever seen someone commit suicide by cutting off his own head?

It was already dark when the head was found. Zhao Xing used a torch to observe that the candlesticks in the room were not lit, which showed that it was not dark when Sun Mengwu was killed. After questioning the accompanying attendants, they learned that her personal maid accompanied her in.

I haven't left the room since then, and no one has been in or out during this period.

There was a noise outside the door.

Someone came to report to Zhao Xing that people from Baihualou had come to collect the body.

A heartbreaking cry came, and a gorgeous middle-aged woman came in with howling like ghosts and wolves, holding Sun Mengwu's body and crying loudly: "My daughter, why are you gone like this? Mom is on you.

I spent tens of thousands of taels of silver and promised to make a lot of money this year. Why did I leave without saying a word? Don’t scare your mother to death. My daughter, please say something."

Fan Xiaodao said: "If she really opens her mouth, she will scare you to death."

One of the guards whispered, "This is Li Baniang, the madam of Baihualou."

Li Baniang said: "Sir, you must catch the murderer and avenge my daughter!"

Zhao Xing felt disgusted with this woman for no reason and said: "The court is handling the case. You have nothing to do here. Go back and wait for news."

Li Baniang said: "My daughter is dead, and you said it's none of my business?" She glanced at Huang Youcai, who was following not far away, "I entrusted my daughter to you, and this happened just a few hours ago. Huang Youcai

, just wait for the lawsuit!"

When Zhao Xing saw her rolling around and causing damage to the scene, he ordered people to drive her out, but Li Baniang said, "Today, I'm here to take my precious daughter's body back."

A police officer reminded, "The case is not closed, the body will be stored in Yizhuang first."

Li Baniang insisted, "Meng Wusheng is a member of my Baihua Building, and her death is a ghost of my Baihua Building. No matter what, I will take her back today and bury her alive. It is not your turn to point fingers."

Zhao Xing sneered, "When the yamen is doing things, it's your turn to point fingers?"

Li Baniang didn't act recklessly, she looked confident and said, "Then just wait and see."

After a while, Yang Deshui came to the other courtyard and ordered: "Return the body to Baihua Building."

Zhao Xingdao: "Now the cause of death has not been found out, and the murderer has not been brought to justice. It can only be stored in the designated Yi Zhuang. Mr. Yang, this is against the rules."

"Rules?" Yang Deshui sneered, "When did you, Zhao Xing, tell you the rules when handling cases?" He handed over a note, "The murderer has been caught. He is a young man named Lan, sneaking around on the street.
