Tang Jianqiu responded to the question raised by the county magistrate: "That's not true. If I knew, it would be much easier to search.
It's just that this thief is so arrogant that he dares to openly assassinate someone who beats the drum to complain in front of the local county government! Magistrate Luo, the top priority is to send someone to strictly monitor him. "
"Yes, I'll do it right now!"
After that, the county magistrate left in a hurry to deal with many matters, but Tang Jianqiu didn't say anything, he just looked at it.
The next moment, Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly came to report:
"Sir, another young girl has disappeared!"
"What! Not good!"
Tang Jianqiu realized that he had fallen into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain!
The thief's real purpose was something else, and the assassin who came to kill him was just here to confuse the situation.
But even so, what was their real purpose in killing this young man? Is it a coincidence or deliberate arrangement? It seems that everything can only be known after the young man wakes up.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Fang Xiaoyu couldn't understand. He had rarely seen Tang Jianqiu acting so rude.
Tang Jianqiu just sighed: "Fang Xiaoyu, we were all wrong. Our course of action has been controlled by him. I'm afraid this guy is not as easy to deal with as we thought."
"Do you mean to say that this is just part of their plan?"
When Tang Jianqiu mentioned this, Fang Xiaoyu quickly understood what it meant, which would cause trouble.
Tang Jianqiu said nothing, looking up at the dark cloud-covered sky through the Xuanfang window.
Since they like to play tricks so much, Tang Jianqiu will naturally accompany them to the end!
The next day, Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly came to report and truthfully informed him of his findings: "Sir, I have faithfully followed what you told me.
This is a list of all the families with girls in their prime. There are about eighty of them. The rest of the families have either girls leaving the palace or under the age of fourteen. "
"Eighty households?"
Tang Jianqiu was still very surprised by such a result.
Although I did take over this case in my previous life, I still feel unbelievable when I hear this astonishing number again.
It would take a lot of time to investigate each household. Even if we find clues, we can't let more than a dozen Jinyi guards guard several households, right? This is almost impossible.
Not to mention how far apart these families are, even if they are adjacent, it is nonsense to guard several families in a short period of time, unless all the Jin Yiwei of their Northern Town Fusi have special skills.
"That's all, you all split up and I, the governor, will take a few more people with me."
Since the case was relatively difficult, Tang Jianqiu had no choice but to make this decision.
"yes!"
A group of people rushed to the homes on the list and informed them of the reasons to investigate on the spot.
Finally, after some time of investigation, Tang Jianqiu finally found out the weirdness, and his eyes changed at this moment.
He first checked the homes of all the victims, and then repeatedly compared the lists submitted by Fang Xiaoyu, and finally discovered the similarities.
"Why is there a mark here? Fang Xiaoyu, look at how many other households have such triangular marks."
Because the triangular mark is not obvious and is so small, you can't see it if you don't look carefully.
Now that there are clues, it is not difficult to start the investigation.
Fang Xiaoyu nodded vigorously when he heard this, and then agreed:
"yes!"
After a few hours, Fang Xiaoyu reported immediately, and hastily drew up a picture.
"My lord, three places have been marked. Could it be tonight..."
Hearing this, Tang Jianqiu already had an answer in his heart: "Yes, although it is not certain who he will attack tonight, what is certain is that he will attack one of them.
All we have to do is wait and see, remember not to make this matter public, so as not to alert others. "
Tang Jianqiu also wanted to be on the safe side, so it was better to be prepared for everything, not to mention that there was also a spy among the Jinyi Guards.
In fact, Tang Jianqiu can't be entirely blamed. Just saying that he handled more than a thousand minor cases and 280 major ones. He can't remember many things clearly, let alone remember the details.
"Okay, then I will send people to stay here tonight, but I still need you to do me a favor."
"What's the matter?"
Tang Jianqiu didn't mind this as long as he could catch the bandits.
"Sir, listen to me, let's do this..."
As he spoke, Fang Xiaoyu tiptoed and whispered next to Tang Jianqiu. Tang Jianqiu was very surprised.
I didn't adopt this method in my previous life, so it wouldn't be impossible to try it in this life.
As long as the criminal can be caught, is there any way to do it?
Fang Xiaoyu was very respectful. He did as he was told and immediately told them to proceed with the matter. He also told them to be careful and they would be severely punished if anything went wrong!
"Speaking of which, where is Ah Fei? In the past, he was the most active whenever there was a case. Why isn't he seen today?"
"This subordinate does not deny it. Mr. Baihu has always been serious, but today he just wants to get drunk and lie on the lap of a beautiful woman. Maybe the two of them have already..."
Xiaoqi pretended to hesitate and gave a look that a man would understand.
Although Tang Jianqiu had never had sex with any woman in the world, he understood it. It was really inappropriate to say such words in this situation.
"Okay, let's urge him to come quickly."
"Sir, is this inappropriate?"
Xiaoqi was a little tangled. He always felt that this was not good, and he might even be scolded by A Fei.
"What's wrong? This matter is still unknown, so just follow it truthfully."
Xiao Qi seemed a little embarrassed, and was afraid of the power, so he had to bite the bullet and agree: "This... yes, I will do as I am told."
At the same time, Ah Fei’s side;
It turned out that the reason why A Fei was delayed was because he met the girl who loved embroidery from before.
Seeing that woman, Afichun's heart was filled with excitement, and his soul was taken away by the charming woman, so much so that he became very intoxicated.
The woman was a little timid. Seeing Ah Fei looking at her like this, she seemed a little embarrassed, or she felt that he was just a prostitute, so she lowered her beautiful eyes and said with a slight embarrassment:
"Why is the official looking at the civilian girl like this? But is there something on his face?"
Only then did Ah Fei realize that something was a bit abrupt, and immediately changed his attitude.
In order to prevent the other party from misunderstanding, he changed his words and said: "That's not true, it's just that I saw that the girl looks very much like someone I know well."
The charming woman couldn't help but laugh, her eyes were particularly seductive, and with a casual glance, she saw that A Fei was at a loss for a moment.
Maybe he was too nervous, so A Fei grabbed the corner of his clothes directly.
"Why is the official so interesting? Could it be that he would use such sweet words to please any woman in the world?"
Upon seeing this, Ah Fei quickly waved his hands to deny it. He believed that women in this world were divided into two types.
One is a girl who is as beautiful as a fairy, while the other is an average looking girl.
"How could it be? I usually call people girls directly. You are the only one in the world who amazes me. I don't know the girl's name yet?"
"My lord, just call me Mei Xiang. The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold."
"What a poem! But I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I don't know a few words. Miss Mei Xiang, my name is A Fei. If you need anything in the future, just call me."
"Meixiang, thank you, Brother Afei."
This sound from Brother Ah Fei made Ah Fei indescribably excited, like a child who got a reward.
If it weren't for one or two people around him, he would have jumped up excitedly.
"Miss Mei Xiang's voice is very moving, it's not an exaggeration to say it's like a warbler!" Ah Fei said excitedly.
Mei Xiang covered her face with a smile, her face was like a peach blossom, blooming with a peerless smile: "My lord, don't make fun of civilian girls, civilian girls still hope to rely on brother A Fei."
Upon seeing this, A Fei quickly agreed: "That's nature, that's nature!"
"Master Baihu, Mr. Tang is already urging you." Even though he knew it was inappropriate to appear in this situation, he had to remind him.
After hearing this, Ah Fei slapped his forehead suddenly and stood up quickly to reply: "Oh no, I almost forgot about this! Mei Xiang, please wait for a moment, I have other things to deal with."
Just as Ah Fei was about to get up and leave, Mei Xiang stopped him on the spot.
"Wait a minute, may I ask where the officer is going?"
"Beizhen Fusi has something to deal with. Please wait for me. I'll be right back."
Naturally, A Fei couldn't reveal too much detailed information, so he could only use excuses to explain it away.
Fortunately, Mei Xiang is also a sensible girl. She didn't make it too difficult, but was very understanding, like the well-behaved sister next door.
"Then the steward should go and get busy. Don't delay the big event because of Mei Xiang. Mei Xiang is waiting for you here."
"Okay! I'll do it as soon as possible."
How could Ah Fei not feel distressed when facing such a passionate and passionate girl? All he could think about was marrying her after this matter was dealt with.
After arriving at where Tang Jianqiu was, he hurriedly came to report with his fists clasped.
Tang Jianqiu just turned his back to him and did not rush to reply. After about a few breaths, Tang Jianqiu asked:
"Why are you later today?"
A Fei choked up immediately and said slightly embarrassed: "Well, there is something that needs to be dealt with."
Ah Fei has always been honest and not good at lying. Just one look revealed his flaw, but Tang Jianqiu did not expose it on the spot.
"Okay, I have something to tell you."
Hearing this, Ah Fei became completely interested, "Sir, please tell me!"
Tang Jianqiu blurted out without even thinking: "Go and get some candied fruits. It's best to bring the honeycomb with you."
Ah Fei's jaw almost dropped when he heard this: "Sir, did I hear you correctly? Are you planning to capture the criminal or are you going to eat some cakes?"
"I never eat these things. Just follow the instructions truthfully. Remember to be careful and don't let the bees sting you."
"Yes, I will do it now!"
After saying that, A Fei rushed over as fast as he could.
This is not difficult for him, but how to avoid bees is a difficult task.
No matter how strong his martial arts skills are, he still can't withstand the bee attack! What if I accidentally poked this honeycomb?
Anyway, let’s do our best...
