Chapter 465 Strange things

"Brother will know soon."

"You're still trying to get along with your eldest brother."

Ying Ning smiled and asked, "Brother, how is the investigation going outside?"

When it came to business, Li Fucheng immediately calmed down and said in a deep voice: "I found out that the gambling house that Li He mentioned does exist. I also asked everyone inside and outside the gambling house. Two months ago, Li He started

I went in and out of the casino, losing and winning, and the last time I lost more than five hundred taels of silver."

"Then what?"

"He went home, sold his savings and property, and paid back more than 200 taels. There was nothing he could do with the remaining 300 taels, and he almost had his fingers chopped off by the people in the casino. At this time, a man appeared and gave him 300 taels.

He has three hundred taels of silver."

"Who is that person?"

"He is a man who works in casinos all year round and makes a living by collecting profits. He is known as Lao Ni."

"Have you found this person?"

"Found it." Li Fucheng sighed, "It's a pity that I went a step too late and the person is already dead."

Ying Ning said.

They all gradually realized the seriousness of the problem.

Although they themselves are not afraid, they do not want more innocent people to lose their lives because of this incident.

Ying Ning thought for a moment and then asked: "Brother, are there any other clues about Lao Ni? For example, the people around him."

"I've checked it all. This old Ni has no father or mother. He lost his wife in his early years. His only daughter died in childbirth a few years ago." Li Fucheng shook his head. "The only people he associates with all day long are people from casinos and those who owe money."

The man with his money.”

"It seems that Lao Ni was specially selected."

"good."

"Brother, how old is that old Ni?"

"About forty years old."

"He doesn't have concubines or anything?"

"No." Li Fucheng shook his head, "Let alone concubines, he doesn't even have any maids or servants in his family."

"A middle-aged widower with spare money on hand and no concubines or maids around him..." Ying Ning pondered, raised her head and said to Li Fucheng, "Brother, check again to see if he has any acquaintances."

"for example?"

"I can't say, for example... a woman in a brothel?" Ying Ning said, "Anyway, we can't let go of any clues."

Li Fucheng nodded: "Don't worry, I will investigate as soon as possible. What about your side?"

Ying Ning shook her head: "I haven't found anything special in the back house for the time being. However, there is one thing that I feel is a bit strange."

"What's up?"

"My parents, Aunt Liu, Aunt Tao, and the third and fourth sisters were all poisoned this time. Why wasn't Aunt Baixiu poisoned?"

"Aunt Bai...does she drink mountain spring water on weekdays?" Li Fucheng asked.

"I asked the kitchen specifically. Bai Xiu used to drink it, but since Li Siyao died, she stopped drinking it. She said she couldn't see the water outside and could only drink water from the well."

"My second sister has been dead for several years. From the looks of it, there is no connection between these two things."

Ying Ning nodded and said nothing.

At night, Yingning tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so she simply got up.

Zhelan was alert and rushed over: "Princess, do you want to drink tea?"

"No, it's a little stuffy in the house. I'm going out for a walk."

"Yes, it might be raining. It looks like it's almost autumn now, and it's still so hot..." Zhelan muttered, shaking her fan, and quickly put on clothes for her.

He also brought up a lantern and said, "I will accompany you out to get some fresh air."

"No, I'll go for a walk and come back."

"Are you alone?" Zhelan was worried.
