Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Chapter 297 Hitting the wall again

Li Cunxi stretched out his hand and pushed the official seal to Mo Ling again.

"Take it. What the Inner Guards' badge can do, I can also do with my seal. I give it to you just so that Lord Zhang won't make things difficult for you when he sees you..."

"The Inner Guards have been unpopular for so many years. You don't have my official seal, so even if Lord Zhang gives it to you, he will probably give you the cold shoulder."

"The big shot is not in a good mood. If you dump him every time, it means you have offended him once. He will definitely settle the score with you in the future. I also want you to die comfortably in the future."

Li Cunxi is very honest and seems to have no control over his words, but he still said such words.

Such truth-telling should make people angry.

Unexpectedly, the evil spirit was still holding Li Cunxi's official pass in his hand, and was still thinking about Li Cunxi's words "Take it", and he didn't hear a word of what he said afterwards.

Holding the pass tightly, the demon spirit bowed to Li Cunxi and said loudly:

"I will definitely not disappoint Li Shaoyin's expectations. I will rush to Luoyang tonight. If everything goes well, I will definitely return with Yu Lei's archive files in three days at most."

Li Cunxi looked at this expert who could be ranked in the top ten in Detective Di Renjie's world view with great appreciation and praised him:

"With you working hard for me, why should I worry about not being able to investigate this case thoroughly?"

The evil spirit was even more excited and bowed to Li Cunxi.

Then he swaggered out of the governor's mansion, mounted a fast horse, and headed towards the west gate of Rang County.

In the governor's mansion, Li Cunxi returned to the main hall and checked the clues with Wu Yanhao again. After confirming that there were no omissions and other clues that could be traced, he ate some cakes and drank some wine before going to rest.

Now that Mo Ling has gone to Luoyang, Li Cunxi can't just sit there doing nothing.

The next morning Li Cunxi got up early, tidied himself up, and changed into a dark crimson silk dress with small floral patterns. He hung a silver tortoise bag around his waist and placed a tortoise talisman inside it. The tortoise talisman had Li Cunxi's official position engraved on it.

The Wu Zhou Dynasty changed the way of playing of the Li Tang Dynasty. The fish bag that held the fish token was changed to a turtle bag, and even the fish token engraved with the official position was changed to a turtle token.

As for the reason, it is because Wu Zetian's surname is Wu, and Xuanwu, one of the four great mythical beasts in China, represents a turtle and snake, so it was changed to a turtle bag.

The famous "golden son-in-law" in ancient times was because the bag around the official's waist was golden. Only officials of the third rank and above could wear the golden bag. Since he was a third rank official, he was naturally a golden son-in-law.

With someone by your side, you don’t have to worry about the whole family.

People like Li Cunxi, who were of the fourth rank, could only use a silver bag with a little turtle embroidered on it, which was called a silver turtle bag.

After making sure that he was dressed neatly, Li Cunxi put on his official hat.

It was a black gauze hat, also called a futou, which was worn on the heads of ministers such as Wu Zetian and Di Renjie when they went to court. Li Cunxi seldom wore it. Today he wore a black gauze hat and official uniform for the purpose of doing something big.

He planned to go to Bainiao Trading Company and have a good chat with the owner.

Judging from the clues currently obtained, the shopkeeper Wu Duo himself is definitely a suspect, and the suspicion is quite serious.

Li Cunxi thought carefully last night and came to a surprising conclusion.

This suicide case, which seems to have been caused by bribery, may have several suspects behind it.

After hitting a wall several times, he decided to go to Bainiao Trading Company again and try to trick Wu Duo.

At the same time, Wu Yanhao also decided to go to Chen's house to find out Chen Tai's intentions under the protection of Hu Jinghui.

In the two people's thinking, Chen Tai, the head of the Chen family, is not a good person either. The story he told is too long ago, and it is a long way away from the clues they can access now. Wu Yanhao has to ask as usual.

In Dengzhou, there are very few people who can pay 200,000 taels of silver to bribe officials. Even if Chen Tai clears himself as cleanly as possible, he still has to be investigated.

Before the morning hour, the two carriages were packed up and parked outside the governor's mansion.

Li Cunxi and Wu Yanhao said goodbye and went to Bainiao Trading Company under the protection of Li Yuanfang. Wu Yanhao also went to Chen's house under the protection of Hu Jinghui.

In just a cup of tea, Li Cunxi arrived at Bainiao Trading Company.

Seeing Li Cunxi coming, the servant hurriedly informed Wu Duo. Wu Duo didn't want to see Li Cunxi and was suddenly overwhelmed, but he still forced a smile and trotted out to greet Li Cunxi.

"Li Shaoyin, Li Shaoyin!"

As soon as Wu Duo walked out of the door of Bainiao Trading Company, he immediately shouted with a bright smile.

"Li Shaoyin's presence is a great honor to our Bai Niao Trading Company!"

"Li Shaoyin, I wonder if you have any advice for me since you have come to visit our company?"

"If there is anything you need my help with, I, Wu Duo, will definitely do my best!"

Li Cunxi was not in a hurry, and said with a smile:

"You are so polite, shopkeeper. I am not here for anything else, but just want to ask if anything inappropriate happened before and after Yu Lei asked you to borrow 200,000 taels of silver."

Wu Duo thought that this official was really fucking sick. What's the point of asking so many questions?

However, he still had a respectful expression on his face and invited Li Cunxi to come into Bainiao Trading Company to chat slowly.

It was noon. After listening to a whole morning's nonsense, Li Cunxi took his leave slowly and went back to the governor's mansion with Li Yuanfang.

Wu Yanhao and Li Cunxi, who had already returned, looked at each other, and both saw the same part in each other's eyes.

"You didn't get any news?"

"Yes."

The two of them sat together with dejected faces, watching helplessly as the servants placed the dishes on the table.

"How did these people manage to be so foolproof?" Wu Yanhao muttered to himself helplessly.

"No matter how many clues we trace, they always come to a sudden halt. None of the words spoken by the suspects are of any value."

"Cunxi, I have a bad feeling."

"I feel that after Demon Spirit returns to Beijing, even if we transfer the archive files, we will not get the clues we want in the end."

After listening to Wu Yanhao's chatter, although Li Cunxi was unwilling to admit it, he did have this feeling.

He felt that what Wu Yanhao said was very likely true.

If these people can really be foolproof, then the library files that Mo Ling brought this time must not contain any clues that Li Cunxi wants.

The two depressed people came to the table and started eating after the servants set the table.

Compared to the two people who were in endless silence at the dinner table, Chen Tai, who also started eating, had a smug smile on his face.

On the other side, at the dining table of Bainiao Trading Company, Wu Duo, who had always been servile and fawning in front of Li Cunxi, changed his bad habit of not drinking alcohol on weekdays, and took the initiative to open a jar of wine and have fun with his men.

The atmosphere on both sides formed a sharp contrast for a moment.
