"The body of size A was stabbed thirteen times, with two fatal injuries, one on the heart and one on the throat. Except for the throat, almost all the wounds were stabbed directly through the quilt..."
"The body number B was stabbed seventeen times, one of which was in the throat. The others were stabbed randomly through the quilt, but none of them were directly in the heart, so the first stab should be the one in the throat..."
As a middle-aged man with a black ribbon spoke, he suddenly stopped his original business-like tone and became much more direct.
"Both of them came up with a knife aimed at the vital point, and then they couldn't help but follow up. They just came to kill people, and their weapons were all like this embroidered scimitar... Actually, there is nothing to say."
"Who says it's not?" An older man wearing a red ribbon and a small crown looked up at the writing on the wall in front of him and sighed with emotion. "What do you think of this?"
"While saying that he didn't want to leave his name, he also signed it. It's obviously a pseudonym. Even if there is such a thing as Li Taibai, he is probably an unknown person, but since he has written it, it is also a clue." The middle-aged Hei Shou sighed slightly. "Also, there are a few difficult words here that are obviously simplified. Either they are used to the simplified fonts of some remote places, or they are not very literate... As for writing in mid-air, the first reaction is naturally the truth of longevity. gas."
"It is indeed the vitality of immortality."
The elder Zhu Shou looked at these lines and shook his head, as if he wanted to deny something, but what he said was in agreement with his subordinate. "This person...or at least one of his accomplices...should have climbed up from the skylight, plus he had to climb over the wall of the square, and these few lines of words in the air, it all looks too much like Changsheng Zhenqi."
"Accomplice?" The middle-aged Hei Shou was puzzled for a moment. "This is a knife."
"Standard embroidery knife." The elder Zhu Shou turned back and pointed at the corpse. "If it was done by one person, I can't figure it out. How could he fatally injure two people at the same time? Or is it that the commander-in-chief and one of his wives were stabbed, but they managed to hold back from struggling or shouting? Why? Not struggling or shouting? Especially since the commander-in-chief put his hands in front of his mouth, and his wife was still coughing up blood, which is obviously a reaction after being stabbed."
"Indeed." The middle-aged Hei Shou nodded. "It's not a shock, and it's said that Mr. Feng Qi cultivated the Muddy Water Qi, which does have some magical effects on saving lives. This way he can also face... his accomplices. It's more likely that he will kill Mr. Feng alone. , the other person killed Mrs. Feng or restrained her...but it’s hard to say, after all, only a knife was found.”
"It's hard to say anything now." The elder Zhu Shou said nonchalantly. "One thing is one, all aspects must be investigated... We need to look for Li Taibai, the hero of Zhongzhou who doesn't want to leave his name, and pay attention to Changsheng Zhenqi. At the same time, we need to investigate the grudges between the general banner couple and ask Mr. Feng clearly." Qi's whereabouts yesterday, asking the servant girl about her movements last night, I have to hold my nose to check the embroidered scimitar, starting with his subordinates..."
"This is inevitable." The middle-aged Hei Shou nodded heavily. "Let's not say for the moment that this person will soon be transferred to our Zhongzhen Fusi to serve as a black ribbon. I will only say that at the feet of the emperor, on the bank of the Luo River, a sixth-grade general bannerman of Dongzhen Fusi died at home together as a couple. No matter what, You have to give an explanation to the superiors."
"Okay." The elder Zhu Shou stroked his beard again. "Issuing information in the station, ask them to send more people to investigate Li Taibai, investigate the case files handled by General Feng recently, and investigate yesterday's whereabouts... Then you go ask the servants, and I will ask these street-cleaning tigers."
The middle-aged Hei Shou nodded.
The elder Zhu Shou had already gone out, twirling his long beard under his chin. Before going out, he still said to himself:
“Kill one person in ten steps and leave no trace in a thousand miles.
When the matter was over, he brushed off his clothes and went away, hiding his body and name... Why did such a civilized man want to kill a general bannerman, and also kill women and children? Could it be copied? "
The middle-aged Hei Shou was startled for a moment, and finally understood why the other party was shaking his head before. Are these two jingles of "dare to love" quite literary value? It has literary value, you say? Do you have to use this to test yourself with this old criminal name?
What the hell do you know?
"Zhang Xing, it's your turn."
An hour later, in the lobby of the restaurant downstairs, Zhang Xing, whose name was called, did not say a word as a patrolman from Zhongzhen Fusi in Jinyi shouted. He just followed the example of the others before and held his own with both hands. Saber walked upstairs towards the familiar large room on the second floor.
The door to the room was open and Zhang Xing walked in directly. He saw an elderly man sitting there who looked like a teacher with a gentle expression.
A slightly shabby samurai crown and an ordinary sword were also casually placed aside.
However, if anyone despises this person because he is like this, it will be a big joke...Zhang Xing will not be like this. He saw the same red ribbon on the other person's waist as Bai Yousi at a glance. Even the sword worn by this man bore the same symbol of one day and two months as Bai Yousi's.
"Pull out the knife and show it to me." Zhu Shou, the elder, raised his hand slightly to signal.
Zhang Xing didn't dare to neglect, quickly pulled out the knife, then held it upside down and handed it to him.
"Take it." Zhu Shou just glanced at it, then casually ordered, and then continued to look down at the document in his hand. "sit down."
Zhang Xing immediately did as he was told.
"Is it a new sword?" Zhu Shou, the elder, lowered his head and flipped through the documents without raising his head.
"This subordinate is a newcomer." Zhang Xing responded sincerely.
"Have you killed someone with a knife recently?"
"The last time the Qingyu Gang was suppressed...the general command ordered that anyone who had not done meritorious service would be killed." Zhang Xingyi said. "But before that, when patrolling the streets, my subordinates chopped off the hand of a gangster in a secret prostitution shop with a knife."
The elder Zhu Shou frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. He just continued to lower his head and asked, "A few people said that your boss praised you and said you like to read?"
"Interest."
"What books have you read?"
"I just finished reading "Teng Long Si Hai Zhi", and I am reading "Bai Di Chun Qiu"..."
"You are so young, why do you read some famous novels and official history books?" The elder Zhu Shou frowned again. "Forget it...there is water next to it. I can dip it in it and write a few words, using both my left and right hands."
Zhang Xing's heart suddenly suddenly changed, his expression remained unchanged, he quickly stretched out his hand to dip his hand in the water, and carefully wrote the five characters "Tenglong Sihai Zhi" on the table. Then he changed his hands and tried hard and slowly to write "Bai Di" neatly. "Spring and Autumn" four words.
Just after writing two strokes, his heart moved slightly, and he immediately brought out the ice energy to his fingertips. However, the water on his fingers froze instantly, and then he stopped awkwardly, and then looked awkwardly at Zhu Shou in front of him:
"To make Shangguan laugh, I couldn't hold the strength in my left hand, so I couldn't help but use my true energy. I'll rewrite it now."
"No need." The elder Zhu Shou looked at the coldness on the other person's fingertips and shook his head on the spot, but simply closed the file and asked another question seriously. "I'm just asking you, your file is too new and doesn't match it at all...what's going on?"
Zhang Xing was silent for a moment and chose to tell the truth.
"Are you the person assigned by Inspector Bai here?" The elder Zhu Shou twirled his beard on the spot, and finally there was a slight change in expression on his face. "I see."
"I don't know what Shangguan means by 'arrangement'." Zhang Xing considered his words. "But Inspector Bai didn't ask me to pay special attention to certain things, and I didn't make a report myself. I was just doing my job seriously as a patrol officer."
"I understand, I understand." The elder Zhu Shou said nonchalantly. At the same time, he seemed to have lost interest in further exploration and just returned to the routine inquiry of the case itself. "By the way, what level has your Ice Qi cultivation reached?"
"I just opened the fifth of the twelve main meridians last night." Zhang Xing answered as he stretched out his fist again to spread the ice energy to his arms.
"So that's what I was thinking about." The elder Zhu Shou nodded immediately. "Last question... I won't ask you where you were last night... I'll ask you directly, do you have anything to say to me about the death of your family's chief flag?"
"The matter must have something to do with the Qingyu Gang." Zhang Xing paused and gave a natural answer. "Otherwise it would be too coincidental. It would cost dozens of lives and involve so much property."
"Indeed, everyone says so..." the elder Zhu Shou responded. "That's it. Go back first. Don't leave your residence unless you have nothing to do. I'll come here every morning for a few days these days."
"Yes." Zhang Xing stood up, carefully put away his sword, turned and left.
However, just when he reached the door, he stopped suddenly and turned back.
"What?" The elder Zhu Shou narrowed his eyes slightly.
"There is something...it doesn't matter at first, but I didn't say it because I was afraid that the official would be embarrassed if he asked about it from others later." Zhang Xing responded seriously. "I asked my eldest sister-in-law to ask for help from my maid Xiaoyu yesterday. At that time, my eldest sister-in-law only asked my eldest brother to reply to me today... many people were present at this incident."
"Oh." The elder Zhu Shou was stunned for a moment. "I see."
Zhang Xing quickly handed over and left.
People were panic-stricken that day, and Jinyi patrolmen searched everywhere, but there were constant rumors everywhere. It was only in the afternoon that Zhang Xing, who had ventured through the customs, returned to his residence. As expected, Master Liu had already said:
"Xiao Zhang, your friend in the royal uniform is here again, and he's in the side room."
Zhang Xing thanked him immediately, but he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Master Liu looked weird... But in this case, it seemed even more wrong if he didn't look weird.
Say goodbye to Brother Liu and come to see Qin Bao. The two of them were sitting in the courtyard as usual.
"Did you come to see me after hearing about my family's case?" Zhang Xing spoke calmly.
"Of course." Qin Bao seemed a little conflicted, as if he wanted to ask but didn't dare. "What do you say about the case? The news has spread all over Taichung, and even the Prime Minister knows about it. They only say that it was some Zhongzhou hero Li Taibai who did it... and injured women and children?"
"What women and children? Our wife, Mr. Feng Qi, is the one who always makes the real decisions." Zhang Xing said casually. "I don't know any more about the specific case than you do. I'm just asked not to stay away without permission, and I'll do it every day."
Qin Bao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the first half of the sentence, then nodded repeatedly and stopped asking.
The two of them had just met, and it would be awkward to separate directly at this time, so they chatted some more gossip about spiritual practice. It wasn't until the Jingjie Bronze Bowl came up again that Qin Erlang took his leave.
After the other party left, Zhang Xing also went to have dinner. When he returned to the courtyard, he couldn't help but feel empty. I just suddenly remembered that during the day, Zhu Shou seemed to look down on the history books he read that mentioned ancient times, and instead praised novels. So he simply took the wooden box that Qin Bao had sent before and prepared to read this. The world's masterpieces.
However, when the wooden box was opened, the seven or eight books inside turned out to be just a set of books. When the first book was opened, the title was even more horrifying - "The Biography of the Heroine Li Yue, Part 1: The Dragon Sees the Phoenix".
In a daze, Zhang Xing had great worries about Bai Yousi, Qin Bao, and even the literary cultivation of the entire world.
PS: First of all, I would like to thank the leader for fishing Jiang Qiu alone. I am very grateful.
And the public chapter is not afraid to steal the word count. In the previous chapter, I will say a few more words.
1. Bai Yousi has never seen Zhang Xing write in simplified Chinese characters. I really have never written like this.
2. The protagonist wipes the knife with a bloody quilt, which is to cover the traces... Several people said that the problem with fingerprints is that it is not wiped with a clean cloth, which is easy to leave obvious fingerprints. This is using a bloody quilt... itself It's to cover up traces... But generally speaking, I wrote it loosely, and it's not the same as the one above. I'll make slight corrections.
