Luo Shi said: "Didn't you say that he found the body? I suspect that he deliberately framed the man of my family as an adulterer. Maybe he himself invited an unscrupulous woman to stay in the hotel, and he killed the woman because of a dispute over her husband's property.

I am a man, but I have made up so many lies to deceive you. - I am in charge of all the money in my coffin shop. My man has no money, and he is ugly. This woman looks like she has a few talents.

With such a beautiful appearance, how could she like my man? He has no money and no looks. So, Wu Qi must have lied! Please look into it!"

Leng Yi asked: "What were you doing yesterday?"

"At home, I didn't go anywhere. Two days before my husband left, Aunt Liu's father-in-law next door passed away. They asked me to help with the funeral. I was busy at their house the whole day. I was nowhere to be found these days.

"

Leng Yi said: "Do you know where your husband went to buy goods?"

"He said he went to Juzhou. He used to go there to buy goods. There are several regular customers, and they are all carpenters who make coffins."

Leng Yi asked her to give her specific name and address. He then asked Hong Jie, the deputy arrester, to bring him in and immediately rushed to summon shopkeeper Guan back for questioning.

At this time, the detectives who went to investigate the surrounding area came back one after another, but none of them found any valuable clues.

The other two guys from the coffin shop were summoned. When they heard about it, they were frightened. They knelt down and kowtowed, saying that they had no idea there was a body lying in the back room. Although the door to the back room was not closed, they had not gone there in the past few days.

Entering the back room, shopkeeper Guan didn't arrange for them to take Wu Qi's place on night duty, so the coffin shop was closed at night and no one was allowed to guard it.

The two men, Leng Yi, were questioned separately, and their answers were consistent with each other. No signs of suspicion that they committed the crime were found.

At this time, the policeman who went to notify the husband of the deceased to claim the body also came back and reported that the husband of the deceased was working as a waiter for a long-distance merchant and had left with him three years ago. It is not known where he went now. The deceased couple were in Pakistan.

There are no other relatives in the state.

Leng Yi ordered that the body be transported back to the Yamen mortuary for storage until the deceased's husband returned. The crime scene was temporarily sealed with a seal and no entry or exit was allowed. Then he led the detectives back to the Yamen.

Around Leng Yi, in addition to Cheng Luojie, Yin Jiu and Huang Mei, and the two six-door police guards in Weidu, there were more than a dozen unidentified people who seemed to be watching the fun but were actually guards.

Bai Hong sent his followers to protect him. None of the experts invited by Leng Yi have arrived yet.

Leng Yi rushed back to the door of the house with shouts and shouts. Yin Jiu and others immediately re-arranged their defenses. Leng Yi stepped into the yard and went straight to the back room.

Caosui stood at the door and looked around, holding a silk cotton jacket in her hand. When she saw him coming, she greeted him with joy and said, "Brother-in-law is back!"

"Well, why don't you sleep? What are you doing here?"

"My sister asked me to wait for my brother-in-law in the yard."

"What's there to wait for? I'm going to investigate the case, not drinking."

Caosui smiled, shook the silk-cotton jacket in his hand, put it on Leng Yi, and said, "It's late at night and my brother-in-law is thinking about the case and doesn't pay attention to himself. It won't be good if he catches the cold."

Leng Yi put it on and said, "You really don't feel it if you don't tell me, but if you tell me, it's really a bit cold. Seeing that it's getting colder, okay, you don't have much to wear, so hurry in!"

Leng Yi stepped into the room, which was dark and unlit. He immediately stepped lightly for fear of waking up Zhuo Qiaoniang.

He was about to take off his clothes and lie down to sleep, when he suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing. Where did the cool breeze come from in the room? Leng Yi looked in the direction of the cool breeze, and his heart immediately lifted. - Later

The window is open!

Leng Yi immediately opened the curtain hanging on the bed. Then, with the light of the red lanterns hanging in the corridor outside the window, he saw clearly that the bed was submerged, the quilt was folded neatly, and the pillows were placed neatly on the quilt.

Zhuo Qiao Niang is missing!

Leng Yi immediately rushed to the back window, looked out, and saw that he was not inside!

Leng Yi rushed out of the door and shouted: "Cheng Luo'an, arrest the head! Zheng Yan, arrest the head!"

"I'm here! Sir!" Zheng Yan's voice came from the corner of the room, and then she turned around and came to him, "Is there anything wrong, Sir?"

"Where are you arresting the head?"

"out."

"What happened to Qian?"

"It seemed like someone came in just now to investigate. Cheng Baotou and I chased him out. That person's movements were very high in Qinggong. My martial arts was not good enough and I couldn't catch up. Cheng Baotou asked me to come back to protect my husband. She kept chasing her."

"broken!"

"What's wrong?"

"My wife is missing!"

"Oh?" Zheng Yan was shocked, "Did we fall into the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

Because there were not many guards around Leng Yi, and he was the key target of protection, when Leng Yi went to investigate the case, most of the guards followed him, leaving only Cheng Luo'an and Zheng Yan at home. This

At that time, enemy traces appeared again, and if two enemies chased them out, other enemies could take advantage of the situation and rob Zhuo Qiaoniang.

However, what did the enemy do by kidnapping Zhuo Qiaoniang? If it was unintentional, her goal was to kill herself, and she might not be able to achieve her goal by kidnapping her wife. Could it be that the person who entrusted the Zha Nu Gang entrusted Qian

The purpose was to force him to confess to handing over that treasure? This was even more impossible, because it was now clear that the stolen treasure was not on his person. The entrusting agent should have known about it, so he was not sent in again.

If it wasn't them, then who kidnapped Zhuo Qiao Niang? Or maybe Zhuo Qiao Niang wasn't kidnapped at all, but... When he thought of another possibility, Leng Yi suddenly became anxious, turned around and rushed into the house.

The next look, sure enough, there was a piece of paper on the table. When I picked it up, I saw it was written crookedly: "Guan Ru, I'm gone, please take care of me!" The last two words "take care" are "heavy".

I couldn’t write, so I drew a circle.

Zhuo Qiaoniang was going to commit suicide? This note made Leng Yi immediately understand his previous inference - Zhuo Qiaoniang already knew that she was suffering from a terminal illness. It should be that Na Yao was at the Ganoderma lucidum medical center. She said she fell

He went to bed, but he actually eavesdropped on their conversation and began to think of committing suicide.

Leng Yi said to Cheng Luo: "No, my wife is going to commit suicide. Don't tell the old lady and others. Let the guards find her first! Hurry!"

Cheng Luojie also panicked, and immediately came out and told Cheng Luojie, and everyone immediately split up to look for it. However, Leng Changbei and the others were not alerted.

Leng Yi looked around at the back of the yard. He found a few footprints in the soft soil in two places, and the shapes matched those of Zhuo Qiao Niang. From the direction of the footprints, it led to the back door, and the back door was not closed. He chased after her.

Go out the back door, but the back door is an alley with bluestones, and no footprints can be found.

Where did she go?

Leng Yi tried his best to calm down. Cheng Luo'an kept following her, her face turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice: "Did she know that I am good to you, feel unhappy, and become ill, so she wanted to commit suicide? If so,

I am irredeemable by death!"

Leng Yi held her in his arms: "I don't know either, so don't think too much. Find her first!"

"Well, but where did she go?"

Leng Yi let her go and said, "Let's look for her separately!"

"But what if the killer comes!"

"I can't control that much anymore. Let's find my wife first! If it's too late, I'm afraid there will be danger! Besides, I have the throwing knife you gave me. It's not a big problem!"

"Okay! You look here, I'll look over there!"

Cheng Luojie flew away quickly.

What Leng Yi wanted was to get rid of her. He immediately returned to the house and took out his sniper rifle.

Just when he was picking up the sniper rifle, he discovered that a string of climbing pitons and strings that were placed with the rifle were missing! With a thought, he grabbed the sniper rifle, carried it out quickly, and took advantage of the night to come

Go to the bell tower of the Yamen.

Each yamen has a bell tower, which has three floors. There is a bell on it, which is mainly used for warning during wartime. It is also used to observe whether there is any fire situation in the city during peacetime.

Leng Yi rushed up to the bell tower, where the yamen officer responsible for looking out for the fire was taking a nap against the clock. Leng Yi coughed loudly, startling him: "Who?"

"it's me!"

"Oh, sir!" The officer saw clearly what was coming and immediately stopped falling asleep. He quickly nodded and bowed: "Sir, everything is safe and there is no fire."

"Very well, you go down first. I want to stay alone on the bell tower for a while. Don't let anyone come up to disturb me. I'll call you later and come back up!"

"Yes!" The yamen servant didn't dare to ask any more questions and hurried downstairs.

Leng Yi closed the door of the bell tower, took out the sniper rifle, put on the zoom scope and night vision device, adjusted it, and looked at the city gate tower in the direction of Lianhua Mountain. Only Lianhua Mountain has cliffs around Bazhou.

He observes carefully because there is no time for him to make mistakes.

Finally, a small white dot appeared in the lens, slowly climbing up the trail near the cliff of Lianhua Mountain.

The distance was too far, and it was not clear whether it was Zhuo Qiao Niang or not, or even whether it was a person or an animal.

Leng Yi immediately packed up his sniper rifle and quickly went downstairs with it. He ran towards the outside of the city without even caring about the politeness of the government officer.

The little white dot that Leng Yi saw was none other than Zhuo Qiao Niang.

Zhuo Qiaoniang was carrying a bundle of strings and pitons on her back, and was climbing up the mountain with great difficulty along the path.

She didn't hear what Hua Wuxiang said, she only heard what Old Doctor Sun said. She didn't want to be paralyzed and die of suffering without being able to see, hear or speak. She wanted to die with dignity. She originally wanted to find a chance.

She committed suicide by hanging herself from a beam in the house. However, the murder case that happened to happen that day, the official went to investigate the case, and almost all the guards went out. It happened that at this time, Cheng Luo'an and other two people who were responsible for protecting her were also because of the enemy's presence.

After chasing her out, there was no one around her. So, she asked Cao Sui to take her jacket and go to the yard to wait for the officials to come in. She struggled to get up, trying to find a piece of white silk to hang herself. After she wrote the suicide note, her eyes

Inadvertently, it fell on a coil of rope and pitons under the bed.

That was the thin rope she used when she and Guan entered rock climbing. She suddenly thought of a new way to die, that is to go rock climbing. When the last piton was used up, she would untie the rope and fall to her death at the bottom of the cliff.

.Because rock climbing is taught by officials, dying under the cliff is like dying in the arms of officials.

So, she took out a bunch of pitons and string. Afraid of disturbing the grass outside the door, she climbed out of the back window and quietly left the house through the back door.

She knew that there was a cliff outside the city called Lotus Mountain, and there was a huge lotus carved on the cliff. It was a symbol of Buddha, and it was a good place to die there.
