Chapter 31 Lu Renjia Confession

　　Ji Yutang told Xie Huaichu what Lu Zheng said.

　　Xie Huaichu was a little confused: "You said Lord Lu was particularly enthusiastic?"

　　"Yes." Ji Yutang said, "Does he have a daughter at home? Does he like you and want you to be his son-in-law?"

　　Xie Huaichu was stunned. Lu Zheng really had a daughter at home! And there was more than one. He had three daughters and one son. All three daughters were of marriageable age.

　　"Really?" Ji Yutang saw the truth from his expression, "Are you really attracted to me? Of course, thank you, sir. You are so charming. Hey, I heard that you are known as the "Jade-faced Young Master of Bianjing", a famous handsome man. Young ladies who like you line up from the foot of the Imperial City to the outside of Bianjing. It's not surprising that Lord Lu's daughter likes you."

Xie Huaichu frowned: "Don't."

　　"What's the matter? Lord Lu's daughter is not worthy of you?" Ji Yutang asked.

　　"Stop talking about these trivial things and let's go check out the progress of Fang Wu's case." After saying that, no matter what Ji Yutang wanted to say, he hurried to find Lu Zheng.

　　Seeing how resistant he was, Ji Yutang stopped talking about it and quietly followed him to find Lu Zheng.

　　At this time, Lu Zheng's men had questioned everyone in Zui Xiang Lou and basically placed the suspicion on Lu Renjia.

　　Xie Huaichu asked Lu Zheng: "Sir Lu, what are the results of the autopsy?"

　　Lu Zheng replied: "The coroner said that Fang Wu's real cause of death was puffer fish poisoning, not suffocation due to vomit covering his mouth and nose. Then I asked the coroner to test what Fang Wu had eaten, and he did eat a puffer fish soup, but there was no poison in the soup."

　　"That's murder without a doubt." Xie Huaichu seemed to be thinking, "But if there was no poison in the soup, how did the murderer make Fang Wu swallow the poison?"

　　"The murderer must be someone close to him, or someone who is not easy to guard against. This is how Fang Wu could take the poison without knowing it." Lu Zheng added.

　　Ji Yutang suggested: "Let's try the people around Fang Wu when the murder happened, right?"

　　Lu Zhengdao: "I have already sent my men to interrogate him, and the confession will be sent over later."

　　Lu Zheng's men were very efficient. Half an incense stick later, a muscular man came in and said in a simple voice, "Sir, I have interrogated them one by one. The waiter said that Fang Wu had dinner with Lu Renjia. When he was about to leave, he met Dou Niang from the clothing store near the stairs on the first floor. Fang Wu vomited all over the floor. Dou Niang stabbed him a few times. Lu Renjia quarreled with her for a few words. The onlookers were attracted by it and didn't notice that Fang Wu fell to the stairs and died. This is the whole incident. Then I interrogated Lu Renjia again. He said that he ate whatever Fang Wu ate. The two of them ate exactly the same thing. There was no difference."

　　Ji Yutang had a hunch that something was wrong with Lu Renjia. She suddenly remembered the gossip about Lu Renjia and Dou Niang that the diners had told her before, and an idea came to her mind: "I heard from the diners at Zui Xiang Lou that Lu Renjia had been engaged to Dou Niang before, but it ended in disgrace and the two broke up. So, was there any connection between Dou Niang and Fang Wu?"

　　The big man was a bit rough but also very careful. He actually investigated this aspect and said, "Yes! Fang Wu is not a bear-like person. He has a lot of tricks in his mind. He once harassed Dou Niang. At that time, Lu Renjia had not yet broken off the engagement with Dou Niang. Fang Wu was beaten up for this."
