Chen Ke's heart trembled slightly when he saw the white mist. This mist was like a breath of spiritual power given to him by a gray-haired mouse.
Not knowing whether the mist was poisonous, Chen Ke took the wooden stick and returned to the house. He looked outside warily, in case there were any evil people coming out of the white mist.
After waiting for a long time, the fog gradually dissipated, and Chen Ke discovered that the middle-aged man had escaped.
The yard was in tatters and there was no place to hide people. Chen Ke walked out of the yard and looked outside the gate again, but there was no one there.
"Escaped." Chen Ke said, "I thought you would use the mist to kill me. I really didn't know how to cherish the opportunity."
As Chen Ke spoke, he looked around. He was deliberately tempting the middle-aged man. If the middle-aged man was still hiding around, he might suddenly come out to deal with Chen Ke after hearing Chen Ke's words of relaxing his vigilance.
After waiting for a while, no one came out from the darkness again. Chen Ke felt slightly relieved, but he still remained vigilant and returned to the room.
In the room, there were only daggers thrown by the middle-aged man.
Chen Ke picked it up and looked at it. It was a sharp dagger with one word engraved on it: four.
"Four?"
Chen Ke looked through it carefully and found nothing unusual. He put the dagger away, closed the door, and ran towards the city.
After entering the city, I went to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.
Chen Ke went to see Long Tu and informed Long Tu of the matter.
"Chen Ke, you're here. I have something to see you for." Long Tu saw Chen Ke coming in with a smile on his face.
Chen Ke said: "Sir, I also have something to say."
Long Tu said: "Then you talk first, my matters are more important, then talk about it last."
Chen Ke told Long Tu about his encounter with the assassin, and he also told Long Tu his guess.
"Sir, I don't have many enemies in the capital. Apart from Zhao Jia's group of cross murderers, he is the princess. I suspect that this person is the assassin sent by the princess to assassinate me."
Chen Ke also handed the dagger in his arms to Long Tu: "This is the dagger that the man dropped."
Long Tu took it and looked through it carefully, frowned slightly and said: "This is not an ordinary weapon, it is made of fine iron hammers. Ordinary people do not have this kind of dagger. The dagger is so exquisite, with exquisite patterns carved on it. It seems that it is probably something from the palace.”
Chen Ke said: "Sir, are you the one sent by that evil woman?"
Long Tu said: "We can't confirm it yet. We need to find this moment. Do you know what it looks like at this moment?"
Chen Ke responded: "I know."
Long Tu said: "I will ask the painter to come over later. You tell the painter the appearance you can remember. First, search the whole city."
"Thank you, sir." Chen Ke said with cupped hands.
Long Tu shook his head slightly: "You are a military attache of the imperial court, a third-class bodyguard, and an important position of seventh rank. Someone who assassinates you is an enemy of the imperial court. This matter cannot be let go easily!"
Chen Ke said: "I've finished my business. What do you want me to do?"
Long Tu said: "Can you still remain calm now?"
Chen Ke frowned slightly, but his heart moved. Long Tu asked him to stay calm. It seemed that Long Tu had found another clue related to Zhao Jiachu.
Chen Ke said seriously: "Don't worry, sir, I can stay calm. If I wasn't calm, I would have killed the princess long ago."
Long Tu nodded slightly and said, "In that case, change into your regular clothes tomorrow and come with me out of the city."
"yes."
Chen Ke said.
After finishing the matter, Long Tu asked Chen Ke to go out and report Chen Ke's assassination to the official in charge of criminal cases in Jingzhao Mansion.
Chen Ke met the painter again later. The painter drew a rough appearance of the middle-aged man after comparing it with Chen Ke's words. Chen Ke looked at the middle-aged man's appearance and pointed out some differences, and finally drew the same thing as the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man is a similar portrait.
Other painters immediately copied it, and then the whole city arrested him.
"Chen Ke, someone is looking for you outside."
Chen Ke was finishing his work and was about to go to his squad room when a police officer came in and informed him.
After Chen Ke thanked him, he walked out of the Yamen with doubts. Who would come to him at this time?
Walking out of the main entrance of the Yamen, Chen Ke saw Gu Lanshan standing beside him.
When Gu Lanshan saw Chen Ke, a smile appeared on her slightly gorgeous face. She looked at Chen Ke and said with a hint of joy in her tone: "Brother Chen Ke, don't forget my brother's banquet tonight."
Chen Ke thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll invite you. Don't let Brother Gu spend any money."
Gu Lanshan smiled slightly and said: "Brother Chen Ke, let's invite my brother. After all, he is older than us. Let him invite you first, and then you can invite me next time. I won't disturb your work, I will leave first."
Gu Lanshan bowed and turned to leave. A maid beside him bowed slightly to Chen Ke and followed him.
Chen Ke turned around and returned to the court. Not long after he sat down, news came from the door again that someone was looking for him.
Chen Ke frowned slightly after hearing this. Gu Lanshan would not come again, and he had few acquaintances in the capital. He walked out of the Yamen with doubts.
There was no one at the door, so Chen Ke asked the yamen guard who was guarding the door. The yamen officer said, "Someone just said he would be waiting for you at the alley next to him."
When Chen Ke heard this, he was suddenly surprised. He was still in the alley nearby. Was he afraid that others would see him?
Chen Ke walked over casually, bypassed the main road of Jingzhao Mansion, and came to the entrance of the alley.
Sure enough, there was a person standing at the entrance of the alley, but this person was wearing a black robe and his back was facing Chen Ke.
"Who are you?"
Chen Ke did not move forward. This man was dressed strangely, which made Chen Ke's vigilance rise again.
"I?"
It was a woman's voice, somewhat familiar.
Chen Ke's eyes narrowed slightly, and he recognized who it was.
"It's you!"
Chen Ke clenched his fist.
The woman turned around, revealing her beautiful face, but there was hatred on her face.
She is Princess Jinde!
"Chen Ke, if you kill my consort, I will kill you today!"
Princess Jinde pulled out a dagger from the cuff of her robe and stabbed Chen Ke.
Chen Ke's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw Princess Jinde's dagger, which was somewhat similar to the dagger used by the assassin in the morning.
"It's really you, you vicious woman. You dare to throw yourself into a trap. You can't escape."
Chen Ke sneered and looked around. There were tall courtyard walls. No one was ambushing here. Even if there were people, Chen Ke could beat them and take Princess Jinde to Jingzhao Mansion to interrogate the crime.
Princess Kinde's dagger came over, and Chen Ke dodged sideways, grabbed Princess Kinde's arm with his backhand, and punched Princess Kinde in the abdomen.
"Bang."
Chen Ke's fist hit Princess Jinde's abdomen. Chen Ke felt that his fist seemed to hit a wooden board. It seemed that Princess Jinde came wearing armor.
With a weird smile on her face, Princess Jinde looked at Chen Ke and said, "Chen Ke, you're done."
Chen Ke didn't know why, "You're done, come with me to see the adults!"
Princess Jinde suddenly took out a dagger with her left hand again, and stabbed the dagger into her abdomen in front of Chen Ke.
"Pfft!"
Blood immediately came out. Chen Ke was stunned and said: "You are crazy, you actually want to commit suicide out of fear of crime!"
At this moment, from behind the entrance of the alley, the servants and guards of the Princess's Mansion came out: "Chen Ke, you are so bold, you dare to assassinate the princess, and you won't be captured without hesitation!"
In front of the entrance of the alley where Chen Ke came, the Yamen servant of Jingzhao Mansion also hurriedly walked over: "Chen Ke, don't mess around, stop it!"
Chen Ke frowned immediately, his pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at Princess Jinde with murderous intent: "You framed me!"
Princess Jinde whispered: "You killed my husband. If I don't plot against you personally, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"
"Okay, you poisonous woman, in that case, let's finish together." Chen Ke said that he was about to pull out the dagger from Princess Jinde's abdomen and stab her in the chest.
"Haha, come on." Princess Jinde didn't feel any pain and even laughed.
Chen Ke felt something was wrong, pushed Princess Jinde away and stepped aside.
The servants and guards of the Princess Mansion also rushed over. Several maids hugged Princess Jinde and cried bitterly. The guards pulled out their swords, pointed at Chen Ke, and wanted to kill Chen Ke.
The yamen servant of Jingzhao Mansion also drew his sword and blocked Chen Ke's side. A policeman walked up to Chen Ke with an ugly expression.
"What's going on?" Sun Captou asked.
Sun Captou and Chen Ke were considered acquaintances, and they usually had yamen meals together.
Chen Ke said: "She stabbed herself and wanted to frame me."
"You are talking nonsense. The princess clearly came to make peace with you. Although you killed the consort, the consort was also at fault. The princess was afraid that you were afraid that the princess would do something to you, so she came to make it clear to you. Who knew that killing the consort was not enough? , and he attacked the princess for a country girl!" The maid holding Princess Jinde said dissatisfiedly.
"You must have had an affair with that woman, otherwise how could you attack the princess!" Another maid shouted loudly.
When Chen Ke heard this, anger suddenly appeared on his face. The cruel Princess Jinde not only killed Sister Qin, but also wanted to use him to ruin Sister Qin's reputation.
"How can I spare you if you dare to humiliate Sister-in-law Qin?"
Chen Ke said that he was about to go over and crush the maid.
"Chen Ke! Don't mess around, wait for the adults to come over!" When Captain Sun saw Chen Ke trying to move forward, he immediately grabbed Chen Ke, and several other detectives also grabbed Chen Ke's arms.
The guards at the Princess Mansion raised their swords, waiting for Chen Ke to go over and chop Chen Ke to death.
"Lord Long is here!"
Princess Jinde was stabbed, and someone immediately reported it to Long Tu. Long Tu hurried over and frowned slightly when he saw that Chen Ke still wanted to move forward.
"What's going on?" Long Tu saw Princess Jinde lying on the ground and closing her eyes, and felt something bad in his heart: "Call the doctor quickly!"
"Sir, we have been called. Come right away." Sun Captou said.
The maid next to Princess Jinde told the story. The main reason was that Princess Jinde ignored the previous suspicion and came to appease Chen Ke. Chen Ke wanted to murder Princess Jinde because of his affair with the Qin family.
Long Tu just wanted to laugh when he heard this. How could he use such a small trick? But this little trick is really incomprehensible.
The doctor came over, pulled out the dagger, and helped Princess Kinde stop the bleeding.
Sun Captou took the dagger and showed it to Long Tu. When Long Tu saw the dagger, he looked at Chen Ke in disbelief.
Chen Ke had just argued with Princess Jinde and did not look carefully at the dagger in Princess Jinde's hand. This time, after seeing it clearly, he was also shocked!
