"Last August, Magistrate Li ordered his subordinates to draft the Yangdu Patrol Rules. After the first draft was submitted to Magistrate Xu for approval, it was sent to Magistrate Xu for second instance. All approvals and releases were in compliance with the procedures." Qi Yuansheng's expression Very confused, "I wonder if you, sir, have any questions?"
"It's just a routine inquiry." Ling Zhiyan said. He was reviewing and filing the first, second and final drafts of the "Yangdu Patrol Rules" just sent by the bad guys. Indeed, as Qi Yuansheng said, all procedures and work processes are in place. no problem.
Hua Yitang couldn't sit still for a long time. He leaned next to Ling Zhiyan and started the humanoid scanner again, but this time he looked at it very carefully.
Lin Sui'an couldn't understand those complicated ancient texts, so he simply observed the "suspects" in the room with Jin Ruo.
Jin Ruo: "Both Judge Xu and Judge Li are seven feet tall, He Changshi is eight feet tall, and Qi Yuansheng is six feet tall. In terms of body shape, none of these people can be touched to rule out suspicion."
Lin Sui'an: "After the incident, He Changshi and the two judges stayed together all night. All three of them had alibi."
"They have a high position and a lot of servants. They can do it or let their subordinates do it."
"They are all wearing the same pants as Zhou Prefect Feng. What motive is there for killing them?"
"What about Qi Yuansheng?"
Lin Sui'an didn't say anything, she didn't dare to make a conclusion.
Although her sixth sense doubted this person, her reason kept reminding her. What can really solve a case is not intuition, but genuine evidence.
Thinking of this, Lin Sui'an couldn't help but feel a little resentful. Other people's time travels were either rebirth or came with their own systems, and no matter how bad they were, they could predict the future. She was better off. She only had a pair of useless gold fingers that looked into the eyes of dead people. It was difficult to use and even more unlucky. It seems to be a little out of order, and I can't even see the picture clearly.
Wait! Lin Sui'an suddenly realized a question, why did the golden finger's picture become blurry?
The memory images of the original owner and Luo Shichuan were all in 4k high definition before. How come the images of Yan He and Jiang Hongwen turned into KTV scumbag quality? What Goldfinger saw was the memory of the deceased reappearing. Are Yan He and Jiang Hongwen both highly myopic? But recalling Yan He's behavior before, it didn't look like myopia. Or was there some external reason that caused their vision to be unclear?
"Please stay in the government office tonight. Ling may have some details to ask at any time." Ling Zhiyan asked the bad guy to send He Changshi and others away. Everyone looked unhappy, but they had no choice but to agree.
Qi Yuansheng was the last to go out. As soon as he crossed the threshold, Ling Zhiyan suddenly stopped him.
"Qi Shuzuo, where were you from midnight to midnight last night?"
Qi Yuansheng turned around and faced Ling Zhiyan's sharp eyes, his expression unchanged at all, "Sleep at home."
"Can anyone prove it?"
"I live alone and have no one to prove it."
It wasn't until Qi Yuansheng's back disappeared into the night that Ling Zhiyan said, "There is something wrong with this person."
Hua Yitang didn't even raise his head: "What should I say?"
"Ordinary people will never be so calm when asked about their alibi, especially when they are about to leave and take off their guard. If they are suddenly questioned, their expressions will definitely be shaken." Ling Zhiyan frowned, "Qi Yuansheng's behavior is too abnormal."
Lin Sui'an: "..."
Good guy, is this the only way you can feel emotionally? The same thing happened to her during the last interrogation. When she was leaving, she suddenly asked about the cause of Su Chengxian's death, which scared her so much that her scalp exploded.
It was probably because Lin Sui'an's eyes were too "enthusiastic" that Ling Zhiyan coughed unnaturally, "The head of the Su family once asked someone to ask about the cause of death of Mr. Su Chengxian of Dali Temple. The record in the Nanpu County file was very vague, so I thought of asking Lin Lady."
Lin Sui'an: Haha, I don't just have to come to her to seek revenge.
"I found a few interesting things. First, the government orders of the Yangdu government offices are not clear. The patrol rules of Yangdu are only implemented in the two Cao Cao of Judicial and Military Affairs. The other four Cao Cao have not received the record. Second," Hua Yitang picked out more than a dozen scrolls and arranged them on the case one by one. "More than 70% of Judicial Cao's formulas and orders were drafted by Qi Yuansheng. Although the drafters of the rest were appended with the names of other scriptwriters, the handwriting was clearly written by Qi Yuansheng. Qi Yuansheng ghost-wrote. Moreover, he had excellent literary talent and clear organization. When his superiors approved the orders he drafted, they only corrected a few scattered words, with few major changes. What's more, Qi Yuansheng also wrote for the commander of the army and the commander of the household. , Sicang, and Si Shicao’s assistants have written a lot of things. Although they are not important things, the amount is very considerable."
Lin Sui'an understood that, as Hua Yitang said before, the work guiding ideology of the entire Yangdu government office is "not to seek merit, but to seek no faults", so the work style is to put all the salted fish in a mess and catch them. A hard-working and uncomplaining person will work hard.
Ling Zhiyan's face was filled with shock.
Hua Yitang: "Why, it's far beyond Ling Sizhi's imagination?"
Ling Zhiyan: "It's simply unbelievable."
Hua Yitang smiled: "It's just routine operations for grassroots officials."
Jin Ruo: "This can only mean that this person works hard and is popular. What's the problem?"
"For example," Lin Sui'an thought for a while and said, "Today you help me, and tomorrow I will help you, tacitly doing some innocuous little things."
Jin Ruo: "What can, what can you do?"
"Si Hu Cao is in charge of household registration, marriages, and Si Cang Cao is in charge of renting taxes, warehouses, and shops. There are countless little things these petty officials can do with just a few clicks of their fingers." Hua Yitang seemed to be answering Jin Ruo's question, but also seemed to be talking to himself. He said to himself, "We haven't found the scene of the first crime so far. There are so many places to hide in Yangdu..."
"Ming Shu." Ling Zhiyan called, "Go and check this person's place of origin, life story, official history, and who he interacts with on weekdays, especially his contact with the Liucao officials." Another person was called, "Mingfeng, go Let’s take a look at Qi Yuansheng’s home.”
The two of them rushed out.
Lin Sui'an scratched his forehead. The case seems to be starting to get a little clearer. At present, the suspects are temporarily narrowed down to He Changshi, Judge Xu, Judge Li and Qi Yuansheng, especially Qi Yuansheng.
The sixth sense turned out to be really effective. Not only did she not breathe a sigh of relief, but she felt the uneasiness in her heart getting bigger and bigger. It seemed that there was something in the dark that led them to find this line. But when she thought about it carefully, it was all speculation and speculation. Assume that there is no evidence directly related to the case.
It felt like being suspended in mid-air with no bottom under my feet.
Lin Sui'an turned his eyes to Hua Yitang, but saw him frowning in thought, wondering if he was also thinking about the same problem. Jin Ruo was even more surprised, biting his nails and wandering around, "I have to go back."
Lin Sui'an: "What did you find?"
"Elder Zhang said before that we got a lot of internal information from the government because of the help of a noble person. In contrast, we will also provide this noble person with some irrelevant information to exchange information and never ask for it. No reward." Jin Ruo lowered his voice, "Just like what you just said, you help me today and I will help you tomorrow, tacitly -"
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
Lin Sui'an: "Who is that noble man?"
Jin Ruo: "That's why I have to go back and ask Elder Zhang!"
Hua Yitang: "Let's go."
Lin Sui'an and Jin Ruoshua looked at Hua Yitang.
"Anyway, nothing can be found here for a while," Hua Yitang stood up, "I'm more interested in the mole in your family."
Jin Ruo: "Are you the onion? Why do you care?!"
Hua Yitang gritted his teeth, "Because I, Hua Yitang, will definitely repay you!"
Elder Zhang's home, or the stronghold of Jingmen, is located in Luyunfang in the north of the city, facing the Jiuchu River. It has passed Xuzheng at this time. The lanterns are shining on the riverside, and there are many tourists. The night scene is picturesque. Sitting in the house, you can hear the painting boat The song of the prostitutes of the upper river.
Elder Zhang’s name was the Chinese character for flag, and he turned out to be the Hu man uncle who sold Hu cakes before. As for Lin Sui’an’s doubts about Hu people being able to hold high positions in the Jingmen, Jin Ruo was very proud, “Jingmen disciples are well-educated. There is no distinction, regardless of nationality or origin, as long as you pass the test, you can enter."
Unexpectedly, it is an international organization. Lin Sui'an was quite impressed.
Elder Zhang was not surprised by Lin Sui'an's arrival. Instead, he was very interested in Hua Yitang. He stared at her several times and praised, "The Hua family's fourth son is indeed well-deserved, and he is worthy of the name of Zhong Lingyuxiu."
"Thank you." Hua Yitang waved his small fan and glanced at Jin Ruo proudly.
Jin Ruo didn't notice Hua Yitang at all and asked, "Elder Zhang, who is the noble person you mentioned earlier who can get the inside information of the government?"
Elder Zhang was calm and asked, "Does Mrs. Lin want to ask, or does Hua Shiro want to ask?"
Jin Ruo was startled, "We all want-"
Elder Zhang sighed: "Did the young master forget the rules of cleaning the sect again?"
Jin Ruo said "Ah" and scratched his head.
Elder Zhang said helplessly, "The young sect leader has just been the sect leader for a year. He is young and forgetful. As an elder, it is natural for him to give more reminders."
"What rules?" Lin Sui'an asked.
"Although Mrs. Lin belongs to an outside sect, she is currently the master of Qianjing, that is, she is half a member of our sect. If you purchase such important information, you can get a 50% discount." Elder Zhang raised five fingers, "Five golden leaves .”
You might as well go grab it!
Lin Sui'an almost broke out.
"I asked." Hua Yitang casually took out five gold leaves, but Elder Zhang rejected them.
"For Shiro Hanakaya, it's not at this price."
"Elder Zhang, are you raising the price from the ground?"
"No, it's to watch people order food."
"..."
"I heard that the Hua family wants to open three more silk shops in Jinnifang?"
"As expected of Jingmen, he is indeed well-informed."
"The stall on Silk Street is probably not sold yet, right?"
"Twelve stalls, all donated to Jingmen."
The smile on Elder Zhang's face disappeared for the first time, "The annual rent for those twelve stalls is at least one hundred gold."
Hua Yitang: "Just think of it as a meeting gift for Jingmen."
Jin Ruo's jaw dropped, and Lin Sui'an was about to faint.
Hey Hey hey! Big brother, you are too wasteful!
Lin Sui'an snatched Hua Yitang's golden leaf, "It's better to count it on me——"
Hua Yitang pressed Lin Sui'an's arm, "That's it!"
Elder Zhang glanced at Lin Sui'an and nodded meaningfully, "The Huajia Silang is indeed worthy of his reputation. He really spent a lot of money to make something... so generous!"
"Tell me, who is that person?" Hua Yitang asked in a deep voice.
"Justice Cao Shuzuo, Qi Yuansheng."
Oooh! It's him again!
Lin Sui'an and Hua Yitang looked at each other.
Jin Ruo's expression changed slightly: "Did anyone in the Jingmen reveal to him the news that Lin Sui'an went to Liuyue Tower to investigate the case?"
Elder Zhang: "It turns out that the young sect leader wanted to ask this. In fact, I have found out that the news about that day was leaked -"
At this moment, the loud sound of gongs suddenly came from the street, mixed with noisy shouts and screams.
Lin Sui'an's forehead jumped, and he, Hua Yitang, and Jin Ruo rushed out of the door. As soon as they rushed out of the door, they heard several sharp shouts.
"Get out of the way, the bad guys are trying to catch you! Get out of the way, everyone!"
"Get in here, don't let that car get away!"
Amid the bright lights on the riverside, a carriage was speeding up. The driver was dressed in black and wearing a red ghost mask. He was rushing through the crowd. More than a dozen criminals and city patrols chased behind the car and shouted. People actually understand the common people and the wind.
They were overjoyed when they saw Lin Sui'an and shouted at the top of their lungs, "Ms. Lin, stop that car quickly!"
The carriage just flew by in front of him. Lin Sui'an put his feet on the ground and stood up from the ground. He landed firmly on the top of the carriage. The carriage jolted violently. Lin Sui'an's body shook and he almost fell down. He hurriedly pulled out | Qian Jing inserted herself into the roof of the car to stabilize her body. The moment Qian Jing penetrated the roof of the car, she smelled a disgusting burnt smell.
Suddenly, a knife was thrust out from the car in the opposite direction. There was someone in the car! Lin Sui'an was shocked. He grasped the handle of Qianjing's knife with one hand, swung his whole body in a circle, and kicked the coachman on the back of the head. Unexpectedly, the coachman seemed to have eyes behind him, ducked his head, and suddenly turned his horse around. Lin Sui'an's whole body screamed and swung back to the roof of the car. The long knife in the car stabbed out in succession. Lin Sui'an rolled three times in a row, and the wind of the knife rubbed his arms, neck, and temples. Stab out, blood splatters.
Good guy, are you playing dirty tricks? !
I don't!
Lin Sui'an sneered, twisted his wrist to pull out Qian Jing, jumped up upside down with his left palm, pressed down on Qian Jing with his whole body weight, and chopped down. Qian Jing used the force of breaking the bamboo to split the carriage into two halves with a click.
The horses neighed, passers-by screamed, and the two carriages were thrown far behind. They were torn apart and smoke and dust exploded. Before Lin Sui'an's body could fall down, a large black thing flew out of the smoke and hit his face directly. Lin Sui'an's conditioned reflex was about to chop the door open. The sword was already shining, but he suddenly discovered that there were two black holes in the black thing.
At this moment, the scene in front of him changed instantly, and a scroll of book appeared, with dappled sunlight shining through, and the dense handwriting flashing away. Lin Sui'an only had time to recognize two words:
【...Ten cool...】
His vision suddenly returned, and the charred black mass was only half a foot away from his face. It turned out to be a charred human head.
Lin Sui'an was shocked and turned pale. He forcibly withdrew his sword, spinning like a top in the air, and landed heavily on the ground. He staggered a few times before he could steady his steps, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Good guy, did Goldfinger activate just now?
This charred corpse doesn't even have eyes, but it can still see memories?
This unscientific!
The screams of the people around him filled the sky, and they ran away in all directions. The reason for their escape was not Lin Sui'an, but what was just thrown out of the carriage. It was a pitch-black charred corpse lying on the ground, surrounded by black. of debris.
The carriage shattered and the horses ran away, but the coachman stood unharmed three feet away. There was another person dressed the same as the coachman, wearing a black ghost mask, standing on the big locust tree by the river with only his toes. The body is tall and strong, and the foot is stable.
Ming Shu and Ming Feng led the bad guys to rush over. Hua Yitang and Jin Ruo arrived out of breath, and were both shocked by the scene in front of them.
Ming Shu: "Who are you?!"
Jin Ruo: "What's going on with this charred corpse?!"
Mingfeng: "Why don't you just surrender?!"
Hua Yitang: "Ah, Lin Sui'an, you're bleeding!"
If the situation didn't allow it at this time, Lin Sui'an really wanted to complain.
Hua Yitang, your style of painting is wrong!
"Hahahahaha, have you seen it?!" The man on the tree looked up and laughed, pointing the long knife in his hand at Hua Yitang, "Huajia Shiro, you are next!":,,
