Next, this conversation with Du He would determine Lin Ye's future plans.
" There's one more thing I have to ask you," Lin Ye asked Du He." Does Cui Wenyu have any lovers?”
"Yes, he has too many lovers!" Du He immediately replied.
"Where is it?"
"There are three in Yongan Lane!"
"Yongan Lane is too close. Is there anything further?"
" A little further…" Du He hesitated for a moment, then said," There seems to be one in Xinghua Lane.”
"Xinghua Lane is still too close. Is there anything further?”Lin Ye asked again.
"A little further?" Du He scratched his head. He couldn't think of anything even if he racked his brain.
After all, he usually did not care about Cui Wenyu's private life. How would he know how many lovers he had and which square they lived in?
"He has an old flame in the Great Peace Market!”Li Er, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said.
Du He looked at Li Er in surprise.
The dignified ruler of a country actually knew where the lover of a profligate son lived.
Was it true that the entire world, no matter how big or small, was under his nose?
At this moment, for the first time, Du He felt sincere admiration for his "Emperor".
In fact, Li Er had always been wary of the forces of the five surnames and seven Wangs, so he had ordered the secret agents of the Heavenly Policy Office to secretly observe the movements of the five surnames and seven Wangs in Chang 'an.
Coincidentally, Li Er had recently checked the intelligence files of Cui Yunlei's family and saw the information of Cui Wenyu's lovers.
"That would be great!" Lin Ye said," Da Ning Market is far enough from here. I want them to think that Cui Wenyu died in Da Ning Market, on the way to his lover!”
"Then what should I do?" Li Er asked like a humble student.
"I'll tell you what to do later!”Lin Ye replied to Li Er and then instructed Du He,
"You must not take a single step out of this Drunken Flower Restaurant tonight. It's best if you wait until tomorrow noon before leaving."
"Also, in the middle of the night, you have to go crazy a few times. You have to let the others in the shop know that you're still in the Drunken Flower Restaurant."
"You're going to make a scene again when it's almost dawn! This is very important, so don't oversleep.”
Actually, Lin Ye was teaching Du He how to create an alibi for himself.
His initial plan was that Cui Wenyu died in Daning Square when he went to look for his old lover in the middle of the night, and Du He never left Drunken Flower Brothel from beginning to end, so naturally there was no opportunity to kill.
However, the problem was how to make people think that Cui Wenyu had died in Da Ning Square.
The Yong 'an Lane they were in now was very far away from the Da Ning Lane.
Yong 'an District was in the southwest of Chang' an, while Daning District was in the northeast.
These two workshops were almost the two furthest away from each other on the map of Chang 'an City. They were nearly 20 kilometers apart.
Even riding a fast horse would take about an hour to cover such a long distance.
However, there was a curfew in the Tang Dynasty, and there were guards patrolling at night. It was impossible for you to ride a horse in the middle of the night without being discovered.
Therefore, in the middle of the night, if you wanted to go from Yong 'an Square to Da Ning Square, you could only walk. You had to walk slowly. By the time you could reach Da Ning Square, the sky would have long been bright.
However, the key here was not the distance, but the time of death.
The coroner of the Tang Dynasty could roughly identify the time of death based on the livor mortis on the corpse.
If the coroner determined that Cui Wenyu had died while drinking at the Drunken Flower Restaurant, then even if Lin Ye threw the body further away, he would still be unable to get rid of Du He's suspicion.
After all, tonight, Du He and Cui Wenyu had some arguments in the front hall in front of everyone. Naturally, Du He was the biggest suspect.
Therefore, Lin Ye had to make people believe that Cui Wenyu had indeed died in the Great Peace Square and that his body had not been dumped there after his death.
However, Li Er could not understand.
Since Lin Ye had already decided to throw the corpse to the bottom of the lotus pond, how could he make people think that Cui Wenyu had died in Da Ning Square?
This didn't make sense at all. The logic was chaotic!
"Plop!"
At this moment, Du He suddenly knelt down in front of Lin Ye.
"Brother Lin, if I survive this calamity, you will be my second parent. In the future, I will follow your lead!”
After saying that, Du He even kowtowed heavily to Lin Ye.
Naturally, Du He did not forget to turn around and kowtow three times to Li Er.
Li Er cursed in his heart,
"Lin Ye, this kid, this deal is really profitable. Not only did he get 3,000 gold from me, but he also made Du He owe him such a big favor."
" However, it's still unknown whether this deal will succeed or not!'
After Du He carried the unconscious Xue Xi and left,
Lin Ye began to clean up the scene of death.
First, he tied the blood-stained rock to Cui Wenyu's neck with a rope.
This killing boulder would sink to the bottom of the pond along with the corpse.
Then, Lin Ye began to strip Cui Wenyu of his clothes and accessories.
