How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 16

[16. Chapter 16 There is a murder case]

Soon, the sky was bright and the north wind was blowing.

Lu Gan had breakfast and was about to practice for a while when Sun Hei came over to report: “Master Lu, there has been a murder!”

“Who died?”

Lu Gan looked cold.

“Li Jun, East Street Liuxiang.” Sun Hei replied solemnly.

“Li Jun? That good-for-nothing scholar Li Jun? How did he die and where did he die?” Lu Gan stood up and frowned slightly.

During the patrol last night, Li Jun was beaten to death by the people from Tianxian Tower while eating Overlord’s meal.

Logically speaking, Xie Anping had no reason or need to really kill Li Jun for his sake.

“Let’s go! Go to the crime scene!”

Immediately, Lu Qian waved his hand and walked out of the courtyard. He suddenly paused and said, “Call that Shen Zishuang.”

The woman in blue robe in the Flying Heaven Realm will definitely stay by Shen Zishuang’s side. Pulling in Shen Zishuang is equivalent to pulling in a flying master.

In this Shashui County, a flying master is enough to protect him.

A moment later, Lu Gan, Sun Hei, and three Qingyi detectives were ready to go, and Shen Zishuang soon came over on a Mo Lin horse.

“Let’s go!”

Lu Gan gave the order and galloped out on horseback, heading straight for Liuxiang, East Street.

In less than a stick of incense, he came to an alley and saw many people gathered around the entrance of the alley, pointing and talking non-stop.

Seeing Lu Gan’s arrival, the people dispersed and gave way to the entrance of the alley.

“Sun Hei, go ask the neighbors, Shen Zishuang, come with me.” Lu Gan looked around and ordered, his expression slightly condensed.

He can already smell blood!

Afterwards, Lu Gan led Shen Zishuang into the alley, pushed open the dilapidated courtyard door, and saw a stiff corpse lying on the ground in the snow.

Blood solidified around the head.

Next to it, there was an iron rod stained with blood, black and white.

Lu Gan walked around the body three times, then squatted down and looked at the body carefully.

“The wound is on the back of the head. There is a slight depression. It is suspected to have been caused by a heavy blow with a hard object like a stick, but it is not a fatal injury.” Lu Gan turned the body over and frowned: “The lips are purple, the skin is white, and the limbs are black. His whole body was slightly contracted, which was a sign of frostbite. This Li Jun was knocked unconscious and froze to death. Remember that!”

“Oh!”

Shen Zishuang recovered from her surprise. God, I quickly took out a pen and paper to record.

After she finished recording, Lu Gan also inspected the scene and concluded that this was an impromptu murder case. But for the detailed facts of the case, I’m afraid I have to ask the parties involved.

Lu Qian walked into the house and saw a woman in linen sitting in the only chair in the hall, wrapped in a thick cotton-padded jacket and holding a little girl in her arms.

The family is surrounded by walls.

Lu Gan glanced around, and his eyes fell on the woman in linen: “Are you Li Jun’s wife, Ji Yao?”

Hearing the sound, the woman in linen raised her head, making people’s eyes brighten.

I saw that she was about twenty years old, with an oval face, small and delicate facial features, and pear blossoms with rain, which made people pity her.

Even though she was wearing linen, she could not hide her elegant and refined beauty.

It’s a pity that this woman’s eyes are desperate, sad, and lifeless, without any aura.

She stood up, spread out the cotton-padded jacket wrapped around her, and bent down to salute, revealing a moving and turbulent wave: “Jiyao from the slave family, I have met Mr. Lu.”

Her voice was hoarse, without a trace of emotion, like a zombie machine.

This action immediately woke up the girl in her arms, and she shouted in a sweet voice: “Mom. It’s cold.”

The woman in linen’s face became a little angry, and she hugged the girl tightly.

Lu Gan glanced at the girl, frowned and asked, “Ji Yao, it was you who knocked out your husband, Mr. Li.”

“Yes.”

The woman in linen lowered her eyes and responded silently.

Shen Zishuang was stunned when she heard this.

“Why?” Lu Qian’s expression remained unchanged and he continued to ask.

“He wanted to sell Yaoyao for money and go to Tianxian Tower to see that girl Ruoshui. I had no choice but to take action, knock him out with a stick and take Yaoyao back.”

The woman in sackcloth replied with a sad laugh.

These words shocked Shen Zishuang’s heart.

“Then why didn’t you save the man and let him freeze to death outside? You are deliberately killing people! You must be executed according to the law!”

Lu Gan looked solemn and shouted majestically, his voice as loud as thunder.

Immediately, the Maiden’s whole body tensed up, and the girl in her arms was also frightened. She was so frightened that she jumped into the Maiden’s arms.

The next moment, a surprising scene appeared.

The woman in sackcloth knelt down and begged: “Master Lu, the slave family knows. But before that, can you help Yaoyao find a good home? I beg you. The slave family is willing to work as a cow or a horse in the next life. Repay Mr. Lu! “

This time, everyone who heard it was really sad and everyone who saw it cried.

Shen Zishuang’s eyes were slightly red.

“Sir, the inquiry is clear.” At this time, Sun Hei walked in and reported.

“Shen Zishuang, keep an eye on the suspect.” Lu Gan nodded and followed Sun Hei out of the house.

“Pang Pang Niang next door was the first witness. She saw Li Jun dead when she came to deliver rice porridge, and she reported the case. In addition, she heard Li Jun and Ji Niangji arguing at about the same time. Li Jun wanted to Naturally, Mrs. Ji refused to sell his three-year-old daughter to Ren Yazi. At the end of the argument, Li Jun seemed to call Mrs. Ji a slut, Zhu Tiejiang in the backyard, and Huang next to him. The butcher and Coolie Qiang heard it. Then the quarrel ended and there was no more sound. The subordinates have been questioning each other, and their testimonies are all correct.”

Sun Hei reported in detail.

“Slut?”

Lu Gan touched his chin after hearing this.

This sentence of slut must have caused tons of damage to Lady Ji, plus the silence, which ended the quarrel.

Li Jun was so proud that he grabbed the child, but he didn’t expect Lady Ji to explode on the spot and give him a righteous sap.

“Master Lu, how do you think this case should be concluded?”

Sun Hei cupped his hands and asked tentatively.

“Don’t worry, let’s ask that Lady Ji.” Lu Gan waved his hand, led Sun Hei into the house again, and asked, “Mrs. Ji, are you a slut?”

Hearing this, Ji, who was kneeling on the ground, The lady raised her head suddenly, her face turned pale, she clenched her teeth tightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she glanced at Sun Hei and lowered her head again.

“My subordinate, go out first and then see if there are any clues.” Seeing this, Sun Hei turned around and walked out of the house.

“Okay, you can talk now.”

Lu Qian said with a cold expression.

“Yes.” Lady Ji raised her head and smiled sadly: “Three years ago, the slave family married the Li family, and their bodies were still intact. However, during the wedding night, when there was no red flowers, Li Jun concluded that the slave family had long since lost their virginity. From then on, he spoke ill of the Nu family and felt disgusted when he touched the Nu family. After the family fell into decline, he even looked for flowers and never cared about the family. “Have

you ever practiced martial arts when you were young?”

Lu Qian asked with a frown.

“Yes. The slave family is in the third realm of the physical body, refining bones, and has 800 strength.” Lady Ji nodded and replied.

“That’s it.”

Lu Gan nodded without saying anything.

Any strenuous exercise may cause injuries to a woman’s body and may cause her membranes to peel off. This is junior high school physiology knowledge. In this world, elixir medicine is highly developed, but common sense about the human body is still very taboo and has not spread too widely.

“Master Lu! I am willing to submit to the law! I just ask Master Lu to find a good home for Yaoyao!” Lady Ji kowtowed again.

His forehead touched the cold and biting ground.

His slender palms were firmly pressed against the floor.

Obviously, she was determined to do this.

When the girl on the side saw this, her big round eyes were filled with confusion. She pulled Madam Ji’s sleeves, looked at Lu Gan fearfully, and then knelt down.

“Where are the people from the Li family? Where are the people from your mother’s family?”

Lu Gan looked at the frostbite on the back of Lady Ji’s hands and asked coldly.

“Since that night, my mother’s family has severed ties with me, and the Li family also thinks that I am not a woman. Now our family is destitute and impoverished. The relatives of the Li family have long since disowned Nujia and Yaoyao.”

Lady Ji trembled .

The voice was very sad.

Seeing this, Shen Zishuang on the side seemed to want to say something, but in the end she held back.

“I remember you must be sick. Your family is so poor, so you probably don’t have money for medical treatment. How did you recover?” Lu Gan suddenly asked.

“My lord, it was the kind-hearted Panda Niang next door who gave me a packet of herbal medicine, and my family’s flu got better.” Lady Ji answered truthfully.

In this way, there is really no doubt about the case.

Lu Qian frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and seemed to have made a decision.

At this moment, a very arrogant man’s voice came from outside the house: “I am Mr. Wei’s nephew, Sun Hei. How dare you, a mere little catcher, stop me? Hurry up and call that boy Lu Gan out to see me!”
