Chapter 407 Conan Possession
Chapter 407 Conan Possession
Ding Yuan: "Can anyone prove for you that you didn't show up at the inn at midnight last night?"
Although the deceased was most likely killed by the same person as the previous two people, Li Lianhua was a doctor and had just had a conflict with Sun Yan, so it cannot be ruled out that he was the one who did it.
Li Lianhua said with a sad face: "My wife and I were both asleep at midnight last night, where can we find a witness?
However, the shopkeeper should be able to prove that my wife and I have not been here since we left the inn yesterday. So, can this prove that I didn't kill anyone?"
After saying that, he looked at Ding Yuan with hope on his face.
Ding Yuan looked at the shopkeeper, who replied timidly, "After the two guests left yesterday, I really didn't see them again. The last time I saw him was this morning."
Ding Yuan asked Li Lianhua: "How long does it take to get from where you live to the inn? Did you go anywhere else after leaving the inn? Can anyone prove that you didn't leave the house after returning to your residence?"
Li Lianhua: "It took about a quarter of an hour to get here. After we finished eating, we walked around the street again and returned home just before curfew. There is probably no witness...
Ding Yuan frowned and asked a few more questions, and Li Lianhua answered them one by one.
Ding Yuan called the shopkeeper and the waiter to question them.
After listening to it, he temporarily ruled out the possibility that Li Lianhua had committed murder.
Then, he asked people to bring all the people involved in the case back to the yamen to take their statements.
Lotus Tower.
Su Ci opened his eyes with difficulty, still half asleep. He was dazed for a moment before he slowly put on his clothes in the bed which was beginning to get cold.
She couldn't help but mutter, "As expected, when I sleep in winter, the only thing that can wake me up is the quilt that is no longer warm. Tsk."
Su Ci listened for a moment and found that the Lotus Tower was very quiet, with no sound of Li Lianhua moving around.
She murmured to herself, "Huahua went out?"
Su Ci: "Huahua? Where have you been? Why is the vixen not at home?"
Li Lianhua: "Aci, are you awake? There are some cakes at home, you can eat some to fill your stomach. The vixen is out for a walk, don't worry about it. I'm about to go home, you can get dressed and wait for me to come back."
Su Ci frowned slightly and asked worriedly: "What happened?"
Li Lianhua: "Well, the man I taught a lesson yesterday died of poisoning. The yamen runners and I are on our way home. We will take you back for questioning. It's not a big deal."
Su Ci was somewhat speechless, "Huahua, why do I feel like you are possessed by Conan? Wherever he goes, he dies, but wherever you go, you encounter cases.
Otherwise, after we see the aurora, we can go to Puji Temple and ask Master Wu Liao to chant some sutras for you to get rid of your bad luck.'
Li Lianhua felt wronged: "Ah Ci~"
Su Ci felt a little regretful that Li Lianhua was not around, otherwise he would have seen his aggrieved expression.
Su Ci suppressed his laughter and coaxed, "I said the wrong thing, Huahua, don't feel wronged~ I'll go find you now."
After saying that, he quickened his washing routine, then went downstairs to the kitchen to get two pieces of pastries to fill his stomach, and then hurried to meet Li Lianhua.
After a while, Su Ci found Li Lianhua.
When the yamen runner saw her, Nie Yusuci politely explained his purpose and then took the two of them back to the yamen.
In the yamen, all the people who were brought back were being questioned one by one, but no useful answers were heard.
Ding Yuan felt a little troubled for a moment, so he could only ask Li Hu to take people to visit the area near the crime scene, just like the previous two times, to see if he could find out anything from these people's mouths. At the same time, he sent people to check Sun Yan's social circle.
After Su Ci and Li Lianhua arrived, they were taken away by the yamen runners and had their statements taken separately.
Because Li Lianhua had already been interrogated once in the inn, his questioning was finished quickly, and the clerk in charge of recording asked him to sit aside and wait.
While waiting for Su Ci, he curiously asked the clerk about the whole story of the case.
At first, the clerk was reluctant to reveal the details of the case, but he could not resist Li Lianhua's tricks.
Therefore, he pieced together a general picture of the case.
