The strongest nine thousand years old on earth, I will take charge of the harem on behalf of the emp

"General Li, the last time I saw my eldest daughter was right here!"

"She tricked me at the time, saying you were here, and tricked me into coming back. When I came to my senses again, she had disappeared!"

After arriving at the place, Xiao Qi recounted what had happened.

Li Changsheng pondered for a moment and said, "General Xiao, let's imitate the scene at that time."

"How about this, you play yourself and I play your eldest daughter."

Xiao Qi nodded to show that he understood.

"Li Changsheng, you dog eunuch, why are you back?"

Li Changsheng was also merciless when he scolded himself.

After hearing this, Xiao Qi instinctively turned his head to look.

When he came to his senses again, he was surprised to find that Li Changsheng had also disappeared out of thin air.

Just as he was looking around, he saw Li Changsheng coming out from a nearby alley.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Qi was stunned at first.

Then, he had an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"I see. It seems the young lady was hiding in that place at that time!"

"It's dark under the lamp, no wonder I can't find it!"

Li Changsheng smiled and followed the direction Xiao Ziyan left.

After walking for a while, I found some dried peach petals on the ground.

This discovery made everyone present change their expressions drastically.

Xiao Qi's face was filled with horror.

"Could it be that the young lady was really kidnapped by the Peach Blossom Thief?"

Li Changsheng soothed him, "Don't worry. According to previous case records, the Peach Blossom Thief only committed crimes at night. It's still about three hours before dark, so we still have time."

"General Xiao, immediately take your men and guard the city gates and interrogate all suspicious individuals!"

"County Magistrate Du, immediately take the yamen runners and search every home and shop around here, door to door, to see if you can find any other clues."

After hearing Li Changsheng's arrangements, Xiao Qi and Du Yuan nodded repeatedly and went forward to receive the orders.

Li Changsheng stood there, staring at the surroundings in a daze.

suddenly!

He found that this place was very close to the backyard of Mr. Wang's house.

Moreover, there are alleys along the way, which is very remote.

Could it really be that Peach Blossom Thief's doing?

If I were the Peach Blossom Thief, where should I hide my people now to avoid the city-wide manhunt?

Thinking of this question, Li Changsheng suddenly recalled the time when he attended the Rule of Law Lecture Hall.

A criminal law expert once said,

After committing the crime, the murderer will return to the crime scene unless his identity is exposed.

There are two main reasons for doing this.

First: Check whether there is any evidence left when committing the crime, and collect relevant information about the progress, and see how many clues the government has about you.

Second: If they are veteran criminals, they will treat committing crimes as an art and will return to the crime scene to admire their masterpiece.

Thinking of this, Li Changsheng began to recall the faces of everyone in the Wang family in his mind.

In the end, the suspicion fell on the housekeeper Zhang Gui.

For some reason, he always felt that there was something wrong with Zhang Gui.

But then I heard from the county magistrate Du Yuan that the Peach Blossom Thief had excellent martial arts skills and could walk very fast.

But Zhang Gui was a cripple.

From this perspective, he cannot be the Peach Blossom Thief.

unless……

This guy's limp is fake.

Since there is already doubt in my heart,

Then we have to find a way to verify it.

Thinking of this, Li Changsheng quietly slipped into the Wang family's backyard.

……

In front of Wang Family Hall:

Mr. Wang was still immersed in the grief of losing his daughter.

Zhang Gui stepped forward and advised, "Master, the dead cannot be resurrected. Please accept my condolences and take care of yourself."

"It's too hot in this weather. If the young lady's body is left here, it will probably rot and start to stink in just two days. We should bury her as soon as possible!"

Wang Yuanwai said, "Didn't the officials say they would continue the investigation?"

Zhang Gui said disdainfully, "Master, these officials have two mouths. You can't trust everything they say."

"Otherwise, the Peach Blossom Thief would have been caught long ago. Why is he still so rampant and committing crimes everywhere?"

After thinking about it carefully, Mr. Wang felt that what Zhang Gui said made a lot of sense.

These days, human life is worthless.

What can he do?

The more Mr. Wang thought about it, the more desperate he became. He collapsed to the ground again and burst into tears.

"My poor daughter, you haven't even gotten married yet, but you were killed by that damned Peach Blossom Thief. Your death was so unjust and so tragic..."

Zhang Gui advised again, "Master, you must take care of your health. If the young lady were still alive, she would definitely not want to see you ruining your body like this."

"The most important thing right now is to quickly bury the young lady and let her rest in peace!"

Wang Yuanwai wiped his tears with his sleeve and said, "Zhang Gui, you are right. We must give the young lady a grand ceremony so that she can die in peace!"

Zhang Gui said, "Then I will go and order a high-quality coffin for the young lady so that she can be buried in peace tomorrow!"

Wang Yuanwai brushed his sleeves weakly and said, "Well, go ahead. I'm too heartbroken to handle the young lady's funeral. I'll leave everything to you!"

Zhang Gui responded hurriedly and turned to leave.

The moment he turned around, his face, which was full of grief just now,

A hint of sinister pride flashed in those narrowed eyes.

Then he was seen limping out the door.

Li Changsheng followed closely behind secretly.

Only then did he notice.

This is Zhang Gui's lame leg when someone passes by.

It will be very difficult to walk.

But once you get to a remote and deserted place.

It will be easy again.

Two modes, switch back and forth easily.

Could it be that his limp was really pretended?

Li Changsheng was suspicious.

At this moment, his suspicion that Zhang Gui was the Peach Blossom Thief increased by three points.

Zhang Gui came to Li’s Coffin Shop, which was across the street.

The owner of the coffin shop seemed to have heard the news of Miss Wang's murder.

When he saw Zhang Gui coming, he quickly stood up to greet him.

The two men exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and when the Peach Blossom Thief was mentioned, Shopkeeper Li was also heartbroken.

"Oh, Miss Wang's death was unjust. I hope the government can arrest this Peach Blossom Thief as soon as possible!"

Zhang Gui agreed absentmindedly and asked Manager Li to help him choose a coffin.

Shopkeeper Li pointed to one of the coffins, which looked very delicate and relatively small, and introduced it:

"Butler Zhang, this coffin is made of high-quality willow wood and is very suitable for your young lady's figure!"

Zhang Gui stared at the coffin, looked it up and down, but shook his head.

"Shopkeeper Li, this coffin is a bit small!"

"You may not know this yet, but my young lady died in a sudden accident. Master and Madam loved their daughter dearly and were worried that she wouldn't be used to the things down there."

"I'm planning to bury all her clothes and jewelry with her. This coffin is too small and may not be able to hold so many things!"

After hearing the reason given by Zhang Gui, Shopkeeper Li showed an understanding expression.

Immediately, he changed to a larger coffin.

"Butler Zhang, this coffin is big enough, right? It's more than enough for two people to lie in it!"

When Zhang Gui heard what Shopkeeper Li said, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Then let's take this coffin. How much is it?"

……

Li Changsheng, who was hiding in the dark, saw Zhang Gui choose a coffin that could easily accommodate two people.

He began to have doubts in his heart.

He had not heard Mr. Wang's specific instructions to bury all of Miss Wang's clothes and jewelry.

Moreover, even if it was for burial, there would be no need for such a large coffin?

unless……

He really wanted to put two people in the coffin!

One of them is Miss Wang.

Who could the other one be?

Thinking of this, Li Changsheng couldn't help but be shocked.

The answer is about to come out!
