While waiting for the old brothers to gather together. Chang Feng first sent people to the nine gates and ordered the twelve regiments of garrison guards in each gate to strictly inspect people entering and leaving the city.
The capital of the Ming Dynasty already had a strict city gate inspection system.
If the gangster wanted to take more than sixty girls out of the city, they would definitely disperse them so that they could not attract attention.
Chang Feng simply sent a message to the people in the 12th Regiment Camp, asking them to detain anyone who brought a young woman out of the city.
As long as people haven't left the city, they can still be found. At worst, as Liu Bingyi said, the capital would be turned upside down.
After finishing this matter, Chang Feng, under the leadership of Liu Bingyi, inspected the room where the candidate woman lived.
Room C3, the room of Zhang Fengling and Liu Xiaoyan.
Chang Feng walked to the door of the room and found a small hole in the window paper next to it.
After entering the door, Chang Feng checked the door bolt on the inside. There is a slight knife mark under the middle of the deadbolt.
Liu Bingyi rubbed his nose: "Why is the scent of powder in this room so strong? I also told Xiao Yan to pay attention to the elegance of women when choosing women, and use less rouge and gouache on Miss Zhang."
Chang Feng quickly pulled Liu Bingyi out of the room and opened the four windows of the room from the outside.
Chang Feng said: "Old Taishan, the room doesn't smell of powder. It smells of incense."
Liu Bingyi was surprised: "Is it the incense that flower pickers love to use?"
Chang Feng nodded: "Yes. The incense is made from yellow azaleas ground into powder. Yellow azaleas are also called sheep flowers. Sheep will be put down if they smell it, let alone people."
"When I first joined Jinyiwei, I taught us newcomers how to use Mixed Incense."
Liu Bingyi was confused: "Jinyiwei also teaches how to charm a woman into picking flowers and stealing jade?"
Chang Feng couldn't laugh or cry: "The incense is not only useful for women. Strong men will still fall into coma after smelling it."
Liu Bingyi suddenly remembered something: "The villain must not be a flower picker! One of the thirty-two candidates has lost his virginity. I can't save my head."
Chang Feng comforted Liu Bingyi: "How can any flower-picking thief dare to go to the vassal back office to commit a crime? The one he picked was the prince's future woman."
"Moreover, carry more than sixty women out of the back office. There are at least dozens of them. Where did so many flower-picking thieves pop up in the capital?"
Chang Feng pointed to the small hole in the window paper: "The gangster used a blowpipe to poke into the window paper. He stunned the woman in the room. He inserted a knife into the crack of the door and opened the door bolt. Then he entered the room and took the woman away. .”
"That's pretty much it."
After leaving the window open for a long time, the aroma in the room finally dissipated.
The two entered the bedroom again.
I saw a few huge footprints on the ground, which seemed to belong to men.
Chang Feng lay on the ground and looked carefully, and said to himself: "It's a boot print. It looks like moiré leather boots."
Liu Bingyi blurted out: "The villain is... an elite member of the Beijing camp?"
Moiré leather boots were created in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. During the Battle of Jingnan, the Wuliangha tribe followed the dragon and helped Emperor Yongle go south to ascend the throne.
The moiré leather boots were introduced to the Ming army from then on.
As of this dynasty, only low-level military attachés such as small flags and general flags among the elite of the Beijing camp can wear moiré leather boots.
Chang Feng's mind was spinning rapidly.
The Beijing camp is now roughly divided into two factions.
The Three Thousand Battalion, Shenji Battalion, and Twelve Regiment Battalion are in the hands of Huai En's junior brothers and adopted sons.
The power to command the 100,000 troops in the fifth military camp was in the hands of Wanxi, the third brother of Concubine Wan Guifei.
What I expected before was correct. This case was probably done by the royal concubine party!
Chang Feng saw a handkerchief on the couch - it was the mandarin duck handkerchief that Zhu Youtang gave to Zhang Fengling!
Changfeng put away the handkerchief. He started rummaging through the box again, and pulled out a woman's close-fitting bellyband from the box.
There is a small word "嫣" embroidered on the inside of the bellyband.
Chang Feng said: "This should be Xiaoyan's bellyband." After saying that, he stuffed the bellyband into his sleeve.
Liu Bingyi was very embarrassed: "What are you doing with Xiaoyan's bellyband? Do you want to hug her to sleep?"
I'm not afraid of sleeping with my arms around her. What Liu Bingyi was afraid of was that his daughter would be lost and his son-in-law would be lovesick and do unspeakable things with his daughter's bellyband at night.
Chang Feng quickly explained: "This bellyband will come in handy one time to help us find Xiaoyan and the others."
An hour later, Chang Feng's former subordinates gathered in the back office.
The leaders were naturally Fatty Xu and Shi Wenyi.
There were three more people. They are Sai Tanghong, who disguises herself as a man; Liu Jin, who stays behind at Huai'en's foreign residence; and Qian Ning, a regimental flag boy who went to Qufu to deliver Huai'en's letter to Chang Feng last year.
Chang Feng asked: "Master Sai. Why are you here?"
Sai Tanghong said: "I came here with Fatty Xu. I heard that some kind of demon fox appeared in Houya. It sounded like a charlatan who was pretending to be a ghost. I, a charlatan, came here to see if I could help."
Chang Feng thought to himself: It seems that Fatty Xu is born with supernatural powers. Fatty can get fat everywhere and can fill up bottomless pits. He slept with Sai Tanghong.
Chang Feng looked at Qian Ning again. Channing was not his person.
Liu Jin quickly introduced him: "This is Qian Ning, the adopted son of Nanjing's eunuch Qian Neng. He has always wanted to join the Jinyi Guard."
"But Eunuch Shang and Eunuch Qian don't want to deal with each other. Qian Ning can only stay in the 12th Regiment Camp and be a small flag."
"He is as close to me as a brother and is absolutely reliable."
Liu Jin knew how important it was for the prince to find the missing female candidate.
He brought his own people to join in because he wanted to make great achievements with Chang Feng.
Chang Feng nodded slightly.
At this time, Huzi ran over wagging his tail.
Chang Feng took out Liu Xiaoyan's bellyband from his sleeve and put it on Huzi's nose.
Hu Zi is very understanding of human nature and sniffed it.
Changfeng stroked Huzi and lowered his voice and said: "Huzi. My mother-in-law is lost. Whether you can find her or not depends entirely on you."
Huzi understood and began to lower his head, sniffing left and right in the back office.
Suddenly, Huzi looked up to the sky and barked. Run forward slowly.
Chang Feng and the others immediately followed.
Huzi stopped at the foot of the east wall of Houya. It barked toward the east wall.
This east wall is about one foot high.
Chang Feng was suspicious: "Did the gangster carry the woman on his back and climb over a ten-foot-high wall to leave?"
"Someone, get a ladder."
Not long after, Shi Wenyi moved a bamboo ladder. Chang Feng climbed up the bamboo ladder.
He found a hook mark on the high wall. Six white dots fell on the blue brick wall. The white dots are arranged like a plum blossom.
Chang Feng got off the ladder and said to Qian Ning: "You have been serving in the regiment camp. Go up and see what the white spots on the wall are."
Channing climbed up. After a while, he came down: "Chang Baihu, it's the trace left by the six-claw plum blossom hook. It can't be wrong!"
Liu Bingyi was puzzled: "Xian son-in-law, what is a six-claw plum blossom hook?"
Chang Feng explained: "The six-claw plum blossom hook is a tool used by the Beijing camp scouts when climbing over the wall for reconnaissance and combat."
"A rope hangs under the hook. When climbing over a wall, just throw the plum-shaped hook on the top of the wall and hang it firmly, and the soldiers can climb up the wall along the rope."
The moiré scalp boot prints and the traces left by the six-claw plum blossom hook...these two clues pointed the identity of the criminal to the elite of the Beijing camp!
