The news of the death on the night of the river lantern release soon reached Li Mofu's ears. After all, he was also an expert in wandering around and liked to learn about things in this area. He knew it was not easy, right?

"I didn't expect someone would die last night," Li Mofu said as he walked down the street, then made a terrifying assumption, "Guozi, do you think the murderer could have just passed us by in the crowd?"

Guozi pursed her lips and said, "Sir, don't talk about these horrible things."

"But this is a fact, a fact that has already happened and has not been resolved. The murderer has neither been caught nor died, which is even more terrifying," said Li Mofu.

Guozi nodded in agreement, "Yes, but we should not think too much about it. The government will handle the matter."

"That's what I said, but I'm still scared when I think about it. Plus, we got separated from Lu Mingyun last night," Li Mofu said with narrowed eyes. "Think about it, if the murderer is an absolutely brutal person, he might have already captured a few lonely people in the crowd and taken them back..."

Guozi trembled at what he said and said in a trembling voice, "Sir, it's a pity that you don't write a storybook..."

Li Mofu raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips, "Although I also want to write, I can't spread rumors to confuse the public, or I'm afraid of being caught by your young master."

"Sir, why do you have to write about supernatural things? Wouldn't it be better to write similar stories like others?" Mo Yi asked in confusion.

Li Mofu took a deep breath and shook his head. "If I wrote romance novels, I wouldn't even need the government to arrest me. I would be beaten to death by my readers."

“……”Fruit.

“…”Mo Yi.

Lu Mingyun came back before dinner, and Li Mofu took the opportunity to ask about the death last night.

If Li Mofu hadn't asked, Lu Mingyun would have almost forgotten about this matter, so he thought carefully for a while before simply telling Li Mofu what he heard in the morning.

"Cutting the throat and letting the blood flow? Isn't that the same as killing a chicken?" Li Mofu said with a frown.

Lu Mingyun nodded. "We don't know why the murderer did this yet. We suspect this behavior may be due to resentment or punishment for the deceased, but we can't draw any conclusions. Just listen to it."

Li Mofu was satisfied with the first-hand information he had obtained, and he did not refute anything Lu Mingyun said.

After dinner, Li Mofu came to the study. He was very interested in what happened yesterday, so he sat down and organized his thoughts and opinions in front of a piece of white paper.

First, he looked for clues from what he saw and heard. Yesterday, he only walked a distance along the river. What impressed him most was the bright money house and the bright boat of Mr. Lin San.

The Xiao River is very long. It flows through the Jinming Mountain Cave, across the Xiaosha Bridge, and then flows further.

To be honest, Young Master Lin San was really strange. Last night, he was the only one floating down from upstream in such a conspicuous little boat.

According to Li Mofu's imagination, it is not impossible that there is another corpse hidden under this boat.

But it is really rare to see someone killing someone so blatantly. Most of these people are mentally ill.

However, the body could also have been thrown into the river from the cave in Jinming Mountain, or of course, it could have been found along the way.

Li Mofu's mind became confused as he thought about it, and he shook his head.

If only I could know why the murderer killed her, Li Mofu thought.

The second thing I learned was what Lu Mingyun said about Huang Liyao, a typical peasant woman. The murderer also stole her belongings, which was probably a personal grudge and robbery.

Of course, all this must be based on the assumption that this is an ordinary case.

"dong dong dong"

There was a knock on the study door. Li Mofu answered and Guozi pushed the door open and walked in. "Young Master, have some tea."

Guozi came in, put down his tea and was about to go back to close the door when he saw Lu Mingyun striding in.

"Young Master." Guozi greeted.

"You go out first." Lu Mingyun said.

Li Mofu was killing time and exercising his brain on what happened yesterday. He looked a little impatient when he saw Lu Mingyun come in. "What do you want from me?"
