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

At night, at the Jiangzhang County Posthouse.

After Li Cunxi finished washing up, he sat on the armchair.

Tonight the snake killer will come to assassinate Di Renjie.

If successful, the crime will be put on Li Yuanfang.

By then, Li Yuanfang would have been besieged and killed, and the clues to the murder of the envoys would have been completely cut off.

Unless Emperor Wu captures Hu Jinghui and tortures him to extract a confession, this case will be buried forever.

Even though he already knew the direction of the plot, Li Cunxi did not dare to tell Di Renjie directly.

In this era, the belief in ghosts and gods was prevalent, but Di Renjie did not believe in them. If someone said that it was a god who appeared in his dream, Di Renjie would definitely not believe it, and then he felt that there was something wrong with Li Cunxi.

Even if things were really as Li Cunxi said, Di Renjie would not think that it was a god entering his dream, he would only think that there was something seriously wrong with this descendant of Duke Huang.

"Master Cunxi, the master is looking for you."

Di Chun's voice sounded outside the door.

This housekeeper, who was ridiculed as the "evil slave of the Di Mansion", still had a smiling face.

"Okay, Brother Di Chun, I'll go right away."

Li Cunxi tidied his clothes, closed the door, and followed Di Chun to Di Renjie's room.

Under the dim oil lamp, Di Renjie was writing at his desk.

"Master, Master Cunxi is here."

Di Chun pushed the door open and said something. Seeing Di Renjie writing something, he immediately turned around and was about to leave.

"Ah, Di Chun."

Di Renjie looked up, put down his brush, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

"Master, I am so sorry. You see, I am so blind that I only come in when you are thinking about something."

Di Chun turned around with a guilty smile and nodded.

As one of the four stewards of the Di residence, it was quite something that Di Chun was able to climb up from so many servants.

Now that his escape spell was interrupted by Di Renjie, he immediately came back to apologize and admit his mistake.

And Di Renjie obviously had no intention of blaming Di Chun.

"It was me who asked you to call Cunxi. You came just in time."

Looking past Di Chun, Di Renjie saw Li Cunxi who had remained silent.

"Cunxi, you're here."

"uncle."

Li Cunxi bowed and then looked at the paper on the table.

"Everyone, take a seat."

Di Renjie's consistent idea is that whenever he is talking while standing, he must walk before speaking.

In just a moment, Di Renjie had arrived in front of the two of them.

"Let me ask you a question."

"If you were Li Yuanfang, what would you do after killing the Turkic envoys?"

Di Renjie has always been defenseless against his own people, which is in line with the saying "Don't employ people you doubt, and don't doubt people you employ."

Li Cunxi already knew the content of the document during dinner.

But even though he knew it, he was not qualified to speak on such matters.

"I dare not kill the Turkic envoys. Besides, I don't have the ability to do so!"

Di Chun's mind worked quickly and he spoke out his thoughts immediately.

"I mean if." Di Renjie said, "Well, don't think about it, just tell me what you think directly."

Di Chun spoke with his true intention: "Then I will find a deserted place to hide so that the imperial court can't find me."

Di Renjie nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"Well said, that's the logical idea."

After being praised by his master, Di Chun immediately showed an honest smile.

I can only say that he is indeed capable of being a housekeeper.

Li Cunxi cannot learn this skill yet.

"There are times when what I say is right..." Di Chun smiled naively.

Li Cunxi sat nearby and watched Di Chun's performance.

"Hey, you're talking about people's first reaction, of course that's correct."

"But what about Li Yuanfang?"

Di Renjie walked back to the desk.

Di Chun followed immediately.

"His escape alone has focused all the attention of the court on him."

"But why didn't he just hide away and go to Lingzhou to commit a serious crime? It seems like he's afraid that the government doesn't know about his existence. This doesn't make sense."

Di Chun immediately followed up with the conversation:

"Yeah, is this person sick? Isn't this looking for death?"

After reading the record of Li Yuanfang's movements in recent days written by Di Renjie on the table, Di Chun really felt that this man was sick.

Not only did he not hide, he even dared to commit the crime.

If Di Chun wasn't stupid, he couldn't think of any other reason.

"The words are blunt but the truth is true. It is indeed a bit suicidal."

Di Renjie took another sip of tea.

"Cunxi, guess what Li Yuanfang is thinking?"

After drinking the tea, Di Renjie's eyes fell on Li Cunxi, who had followed him for three years and was carefully taught by him.

"Forehead……"

Li Cunxi was stunned for a moment.

In the original novel, it should be Di Chun who took over the conversation and gave Di Renjie a new idea.

but……

Brother Di Chun, why don’t you speak?

Di Renjie: "Cunxi?"

"Oh, I'm here, uncle." Li Cunxi said immediately, "I just thought about it, there are big problems with Li Yuanfang's whereabouts. Could he be forced by someone else?"

When Di Renjie heard what Li Cunxi said, an idea immediately came to his mind.

Maybe my nephew is right.

This kind of unreasonable thing would be much more reasonable if there was someone forcing it behind the scenes.

"Yes, we can make such an assumption for now."

"The reason he went to Lingzhou was because someone didn't want him to hide."

"Then we need a reason not to let him hide. This reason could be to divert the court's attention."

"After all, before the Lingzhou murder case, several vicious incidents occurred in the court!"

Di Renjie closed his eyes and recalled the surveillance video in his mind...

Oh, no, it’s the story of the incident.

However, it is difficult to reconstruct the course of the incident before meeting the people involved in the case.

Li Cunxi supported his chin with his hand and said calmly:

"According to this assumption, after the murder of the Turkic envoy and the escort was exposed, the imperial court issued a warrant to arrest Li Yuanfang and designated him as the number one wanted criminal."

"As the mastermind, Li Yuanfang must have hidden himself immediately, fearing that he would be found."

"But someone didn't want Li Yuanfang to hide. That person exposed Li Yuanfang's whereabouts to others who wanted to claim the bounty."

"For that huge bounty, people from all over the world came to hunt him down in various ways..."

"Li Yuanfang couldn't hide even if he wanted to, so he fled everywhere. During his escape, he passed through Lingzhou and killed the guests of the inn and the government officials."

After reasoning about the specific reasons, Li Cunxi felt a little thirsty.

But the effect is obvious.

He shocked the detective earlier than the snake spirit!

Yuan Tiangang, Kui Wenzhong and others involved in the Snake Spirit Case came after him.

Of course, he said so much not just to pad the word count. The one who actually padded the word count is the author, not him.

"When you followed me over the past few years, I didn't realize that you had made such rapid progress."

"What you just said actually coincides with my thoughts!"
