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

Depose the envoy.

The guards who had arrived were stationed here, while Di Renjie, Li Cunxi and Li Yuanfang were drinking tea in the main area.

The reason why I haven't had a rest during this period is because of Di Chun. According to the time, Di Chun will be back soon.

Li Cunxi opened his sleepy eyes and listened to Di Renjie talk about his gains in the coroner's room.

Not long after, Di Chun rode his horse to the headquarters of the deposed envoy. After handing the horse to the guard outside the door, he walked into the headquarters.

"Where is the master?"

"In the main room."

Di Chun walked all the way to the main room and looked at Di Renjie, Li Cunxi and Li Yuanfang inside. After greeting them one by one, he took out the urgent document and handed it to Di Renjie.

"Master, this is an urgent document forwarded by the cabinet."

After Di Renjie opened it and looked at it carefully, he handed the urgent document in his hand to Li Cunxi.

"General Li, please take a look first. I'll drink some tea and take my time..."

Li Cunxi poured strong tea into his mouth, but still couldn't get rid of the sleepiness.

This age is the time for growth. Not sleeping will greatly delay your growth.

Li Yuanfang took it and looked at it before handing it to Li Cunxi.

"It's really weird."

After reading it, Li Cunxi knew that he couldn't sleep easily unless the matter was resolved, so he spoke first.

"Wu Xiaojie, the head scholar of Chongwen Hall under the Prince's Guard, and Xu Shide, the proofreader, were fighting with weapons and died at the same time in Chongwen Hall."

"Two civil servants actually died in a fight. Uncle, tell me whether this is strange or not."

Di Chun opened his eyes and said seriously:

"Master, Young Master, this matter has spread throughout the capital. His Majesty has ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Prince's Internal Affairs Bureau, and the Imperial Clan Affairs Bureau to immediately investigate."

Li Cunxi leaned against the armrest and said calmly:

"The strangest thing is that these two were close friends, but they turned on each other and killed each other, and finally both died in Chongwen Hall."

Di Renjie blinked his eyes, wondering what on earth could have caused two good friends to kill each other.

"By the way, Brother Di Chun, are there any rumors about this matter in the capital?"

"Sir, there are indeed some rumors in the capital that the two of them fell in love with a prostitute at the same time, so..."

Li Cunxi turned to Di Renjie and asked, "Uncle, do you think that Wu Xiaojie, with his character, would do this for a prostitute?"

"I know a thing or two about this man. His character is indeed worthy of praise. But I don't believe that he and his friend killed each other for a brothel girl." Di Renjie said, "The two people who fought each other were both disciples of the prince. I'm afraid this storm is aimed at the prince."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but think of the good emperor of today.

If we say that this was done by Wu Zetian with the purpose of getting rid of Li Xian, it might make sense.

After all, it is not common for close friends to die tragically in an armed fight between two high-ranking officials.

Unless someone deliberately arranges it.

Without Li Cunxi, the good supporting actor, Di Renjie, the funny actor, would have difficulty connecting the mysteries in such a short time no matter how hard he tried to think of lines.

Seeing Di Renjie circling around in the main room and he was the only one among the four people who wanted to sleep, Li Cunxi really couldn't stand it anymore.

He stood up, poured another cup of strong tea, exhaled, and reminded:

"Uncle, in just a few days, three people with the surname Wu died in the capital and Huzhou. This is really puzzling. Do you think there is something strange about this?"

Di Renjie's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes! Three people with the surname Wu!

Isn’t this a very strange thing?

Among the dead people they knew of within just a few days, there happened to be three people from Chang'an with the surname Wu!

"Oh, what Cunxi said makes sense. Could there be some connection between the three people from Chang'an with the surname Wu?" Di Renjie thought seriously, but still found no clues.

The biggest clue now is that three people with the surname Wu are dead.

Li Cunxi propped up his chin, rested his elbows on the tea table, and reminded:

"Uncle, there are no clues now. We can focus on the two dead Wus in Chang'an. I remember you said that they were both wearing clothes made of silk. Is it possible to start the analysis from this angle?"

Di Renjie suddenly realized, clapped his hands, and hurriedly said:

"Cun Xi is worthy of the ancient style of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick. He is smart. I just thought of this and Cun Xi has already proposed it. He is really smart!"

Li Cunxi was in no mood to answer, so he propped up his face and began to take a nap.

To be honest, he was really sleepy today.

Calculating the time, it’s almost midnight.

For a teenager who goes to bed on time, not resting at this time would be fatal.

The figures of the three people in front of him had begun to blur, and everything in front of Li Cunxi was flickering like an afterimage.

Li Cunxi could no longer hear the conversation between the three people. He just wanted to sleep...

"That's right, sir!!!"

Li Yuanfang's shout like thunder rang out, and Li Cunxi, who was about to fall asleep in the armchair, was forced to open his eyes.

Li Cunxi was in a trance for a moment, staring, sitting helplessly on the armchair.

"Um, young master, young master..."

Li Yuanfang panicked a little and quickly stepped forward to push it.

At this moment, Li Cunxi was in a daze after Li Yuanfang's shout.

"Cunxi, Cunxi, what's wrong with you, Cunxi?"

Di Renjie hurried forward and gently stroked Li Cunxi's face.

After a long while, Li Cunxi took a deep breath, came back to his senses, sighed, and said:

"It's okay, uncle, I'm fine... Where were you talking about?"

After looking at Li Cunxi with concern, Di Renjie still stated the conclusions of the three people just now:

"We just talked about how the two deceased people surnamed Wu were most likely the housekeepers and servants of an official family."

Li Cunxi held his chin up and said gloomily:

"Uncle, if that's the case, then I'll assume that they are the stewards of a certain Mr. Wu in Chang'an City. They came to Huzhou probably to look for someone."

Di Renjie nodded and said with a smile:

"What Cunxi said is exactly what I thought."

Li Cunxi was too lazy to continue wasting time, he rubbed his temples and said forcefully:

"I often heard from my uncle that officials value matching. The person that the Wu family in Chang'an sent his butler to Huzhou to look for must be someone who once served as an official in Chang'an."

"Whether these two housekeepers are looking for someone or delivering something, they are all related to this master."

"I think if my uncle wants to find clues from this aspect, he can ask Magistrate Zeng to investigate who in Huzhou County has served as an official in Chang'an."

After that, Li Cunxi bowed and said:

"Uncle, excuse me. I'm going to take a rest. If you need anything, please ask Brother Di Chun to come find me."

Di Renjie smiled and said:

"Cunxi really opened my eyes again. All right, you go and have a rest. Yuanfang, go to the county government office immediately and ask Lord Zeng to investigate."
