Without waiting for an answer, Yun Qi continued: "The people who died all came from well-known families in the royal capital, and none of them were ordinary people."
Su Zhi replied quickly: "The murderer hates the rich and hates the rich."
Yun Qi hit Su Zhi on the shoulder with the handle of his fan, "Brother Su is so wise."
Lu Anran said: "It can be regarded as a clue."
Yun Qi said distressedly: "But there are so many rich people in the capital city, and I have so few people in the Criminal Division, how can I keep a close eye on them?"
After being in the fog for a long time, Su Zhi finally intervened, and after being praised a little, Su Zhi kept up his efforts and said: "Isn't the security of the royal capital in charge of the Jingzhao Mansion? And I heard from my grandfather that the emperor assigned Qi Shang a post. Now, He leads the guards to patrol inside and outside the imperial city every day, and he has many people in his hands."
"Brother Su's suggestion is good, it's like enlightenment. I will do as you say." Yunqi's peach blossom eyes were flowing, and no matter how sincere the smile at the corner of his mouth was, he could not hide the hint of cunning in his eyes.
Su Zhi was confused, why did he suddenly do what he said? What did he say?
Su Zhi's confused look was reflected in Lu Anran's eyes. He didn't have enough intelligence and still insisted on joining in. He deserved to be bullied by Yun Qi.
At the end of the day, when leaving the Criminal Division, Su Zhi suddenly felt very tired for some reason. I had never felt so tired from the inside out, so much so that on the way back, I felt a little erratic when I walked.

Because Chun Miao ran into a wall in the tooth shop in the west of the city, she got up early the next day and ran to the north of the city. She hurriedly counted the time to return to the inn, but it turned out that her own lady had already left one step ahead.
Lu Anran actually saw that Chun Miao was working hard, so he came back last night with tears in his mouth. He left a note asking her to rest at the inn and called a carriage to go to Jixia Palace.
However, something went wrong. Before we left the city, the wheel of the carriage broke halfway.
Lu Anran got off the carriage and discovered that in front of him was the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen. It was not as cold and solemn as the Criminal Division, but it was dignified enough.
"Girl, I'm sorry. I'm afraid this car is not in perfect repair today. Why don't I find you another one? It's just in front, just for a quick run." The coachman came over and said after checking.
Lu Anran took a look at his face, took out a few coins from his sleeve pocket and handed them over, "Excuse me."
The coachman didn't make any money to give away this time, but he got some tips for running errands. Finally, he got something. Le Dianping said: "Wait a moment."
Lu Anran couldn't help blocking the pedestrians and moved his position. At this time, he saw something hitting him from the corner of his eye. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to support it. After taking a closer look, he realized that it was a wooden cart.
The wooden cart was old and small, and was stained with various stains. Lu Anran held the handle in a hurry, and her green-white fingers were suddenly stained black, like chimney ashes.
"Little girl, thank you." A rough voice came from the wooden cart.
Lu Anran found a place to hold the wooden carriage, and when he saw that it would not slide forward any more, he raised his head.
It turned out that there was a person sitting on the wooden cart. At first glance, I noticed that his clothes were very dirty. There were oil stains here and there that made up weird patterns. His legs were covered with a worn quilt with leaky lint. He put his hands on his chest and his messy hair was exposed. Half a face.
Lu Anran couldn't see his face clearly, but he could tell from his fingers that he was not very old, but his whole body was full of twilight, like an octogenarian who was approaching the end of his life.
Especially those eyes.
Black, hollow, lifeless, like a pool of stagnant water.
Lu Anran took out the handkerchief and wiped the dirt on his hands, and said, "No, you have difficulty moving, it's best to have your family by your side."
The person on the wooden cart slowly moved his neck, and when his eyes fell on the black stain on Lu Anran's finger, a sneer seemed to flash through the depths of his unwavering eyes, "I've stained you, noble lady."
Lu Anran put away the veil and did not explain that she was clean by nature. This had nothing to do with her status. For strangers, there was no need to waste words.
The two were standing in the same corner. Lu Anran was waiting for the carriage, but she found that the person next to her had been staring at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion.
Originally, Lu Anran was not a meddlesome person, but because of his inconvenience, he asked more, "Are you going to Jingzhao Mansion? I can ask someone from the government office to help you."
The man on the wooden cart didn't expect that she would pay attention to him. He looked at her slowly and deeply for a long time and said, "Jingzhao Mansion governs the people and makes them peaceful. Does it care about the injustices in the world?"
Lu Anran's mind immediately flashed to the face of Jingzhao Mansion Yin Yuan Fang. He heard Yun Qi say that Yuan Fang was a bit slick and cunning, but he was a practical person and he was fair.
Jingzhao Mansion is different from other places. It is located in the royal capital and has complex connections. It is filled with royal relatives and dignitaries. It travels among the major families with complicated relationships. It also has to maintain a tacit understanding with the emperor and handle various things with ease. It has a smooth and resourceful temperament. There is nothing wrong with that.
Therefore, Lu Anran said without any hesitation: "Of course."
Who would have thought that after hearing this, the man showed a weird smile and said in a hoarse voice: "It can't control it."
Before Lu Anran could figure out the meaning behind his expression, the coachman parked his car next to her. He smiled with a smile on his face and said happily: "What a coincidence, they have a car and no one, so I can still get half of the money if they ask me to make this trip." Money. Miss, come up quickly and I will keep it for you and deliver it on time."
The carriage started running on the streets of the city. Lu Anran opened the curtain and saw the wooden carriage being helped up by a strong man and disappearing around the corner with the people on the wooden carriage.

After Lei Weng accepted his disciple, he patted his butt without any burden and traveled freely in the world. He only left Lu Anran with two corpses and a pile of books.
Lu Anran was simply used to this kind of free-range teaching when he was in Mengdu. He arranged his daily classes in an orderly manner and had fun.
Among them, she went to the Medical School every ten days every month. Because she chose a course called Pharmacy, she had to go to the Medical School to listen to the Master's lectures.
Pharmacy is divided into medicine and poisoning, which is not only useful in treating diseases and treating people, but is also helpful for autopsies that Lu Anran may encounter in the future.
Lu Anran was more interested in medicine and poisons than acupuncture with silver needles, so she valued the lectures that were held every ten days.
Today happened to be the opening day of the pharmacy school. Lu Anran came from the Yibenzong in advance. When he was about to arrive at the Yizong, he saw a man in official uniform standing at the corner.
Lu Anran recognized that the style of the official uniform came from the Criminal Division, and his steps slowed down.
"How many times have I told you, why are you never finished?" A young man's voice came from the place blocked by the Yamen.
People on both sides couldn't see Lu Anran, and the Yamen official said in a rich voice: "This case has not been solved yet. Anyone may become the next victim. Please cooperate with us in bringing the case to the court."
Lu Anran heard the young man mutter something, and then his voice slowly became louder: "... After that, both of them were put in solitary confinement, but someone saw that after coming out of the solitary room, the two people looked at each other with hatred. Yin. Gong...Brother Yin even clamored for Xu Shaokai to look good."
"Is there anything else?"
"No, the two of them are one in politics and the other in martial arts. They are originally inseparable, and their schools are not in the same school. They are separated by several courtyards, so they usually cannot meet. Besides, Xu Shaokai is from a humble family, how can he afford to offend Brother Yin."
After asking a few more questions, the young men were mostly uninformed and vague. The person in charge of the punishment turned around and left with a sword in hand.
After Lu Anran and others had left, he took a step forward, thinking about the conversation just now.
If someone really imitated the serial murderer in the Yin Subaru case, then Xu Shaokai, who had had several disputes and even fights with Yin Subaru, was the most suspect.
However, Yunqi did not immediately arrest Xu Shaokai. Instead, he sent people to investigate privately. On the one hand, he did not want to alert the snake, but on the other hand, there was indeed not enough evidence.
As she walked like this, a figure passed her by. The refreshing orchid fragrance was rich and fragrant. Lu Anran raised her hand and rubbed her nose and looked back.
The woman who had passed by tilted her head, their eyes met briefly, they nodded politely and left without saying a word.
On my way to the Medical Sect, I passed a patch of Polygonatum odorifera, which had just been planted. Its young leaves were delicate and swaying gently in the wind.
Out of habit, Lu Anran has already thought through its effects in her mind——
It is a moisturizing product that nourishes the yin of the spleen and lungs, which is its strength. It can be used to treat autumn dryness that hurts the stomach yin, cough caused by warm winter, dry throat and phlegm.
Lu Anran took another look and found that there was a small wooden sign in the middle of these jade bamboos, with various marks and names on them.
It turns out that the herbs here are adopted by someone.
I heard that there is a medicinal field in the back mountain that is exclusive to the Medical Sect. I wonder if it is also divided among different students.
She was just a little curious. Seeing that the daylight was approaching the teaching time, she no longer missed it.
Who knows, at this moment someone cooed behind her: "Stop."
The visitor walked like a gust of wind, raising the dust in the air and disturbing the peace.
The woman's eyebrows are delicate and her face is as dazzling as a midsummer rose. Her willow-leaf eyebrows are raised upwards, and she always looks at people with a look of disdain. "You trampled on my herbs and you just want to leave like this?"
Lu Anran lowered her head. There was a small green grass lying softly beside her feet, but she could tell that it was just an ordinary grass without getting close.
Lu Anran raised her head again, and the moment their eyes met, Lu Anran knew clearly that the domineering Princess Ding'an was not trying to reason with her.
Lu Anran still had to explain, "This is grass growing in the cracks of the rocks, not a herbal medicine from the princess's mouth."
Princess Ding'an's red lips slowly spread into a smile, but her eyes were cold and resentful, "I broke a herb, so let her legs break too."
It was clear that there was no one except the two of them. When Princess Ding'an finished speaking, a black figure suddenly appeared behind Lu Anran.
A chill rose up from her back and went straight to Lu Anran's forehead. She underestimated the ruthlessness of Princess Ding'an.
"Princess Princess..."
Princess Ding'an said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense to me. I am the right one. Yao'an, take action."
Without saying a word, the guard in black grabbed Lu Anran's leg. With a slight force on his right hand, Lu Anran's leg was broken by just pulling it to the side.
