Qi Shang still had the important responsibility of protecting the city, so he left the Ti Xing Division not long after.
Yun Qi and Lu Anran changed places and sat down in the pavilion next to them. The wine was also replaced by a pot of Biluochun.
As the afterglow spreads, the rosy glow recedes, and candlelight replaces the skylight, illuminating this area of the world.
The hot water scalds the tea bowl, and the refreshing tea water is poured into it. Immediately, the aroma of tea overflows.
"Miss Lu is so considerate." Yun Qi raised his eyebrows.
Not to be outdone, Lu Anran retorted lightly: "Your Majesty is both good at singing and composition."
"嘁~"
Lu Anran brushed away the tea foam and lowered his head to drink tea.
"The identity of the old woman has been found out. She is the old woman from the Guangping residence." Yun Qi twirled the teacup with two fingers and said without raising his head: "That boy Su Zhi was right. The murderer may be jealous of rich people. "
Lu Anran frowned and whispered: "Vice General Li... Guangping's Mansion..." Does it have anything to do with it?
"Judging from the rituals performed by the murderer, everyone's death was obviously planned in advance." Yun Qi put down the teacup, picked up the jade bone fan and tapped it on the table, saying, "But there is only one exception for the deceased."
Lu Anran raised his eyes: "Accident?"
Yun Bei nodded: "Yes. But there is one thing I can't figure out. Beheading to plead guilty is to punish those who betray their friends for glory and betray their trust. However, none of the people who have died so far are completely consistent."
He raised a finger and said, "First of all, the concubine of Xu Duwei's family, a little brat at the age of dancing spoons, can only fight with others in school." He raised his finger again, "Let alone the concubine of the Xue family. Yes, he is a coward."
As he spoke, a faint sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Just a young servant in the Jiang family with bad moral character. Through the relationship between Mr. Jiang and Auntie Jiang's distant relatives, he stole the purchasing work and often cheated the mansion's money with outsiders."
To say that it is a heinous crime, it really doesn't rank high.
Lu Anran pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: "Is the young man from the Jiang family considered a relative of Mr. Jiang?"
"In terms of relationship, you can say that." Yun Qi said.
Lu Anran lowered his eyes, gently rubbed the pads of his thumb and index finger, pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said, "There is one thing in common between the deceased."
Yun Qi raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"
Lu Anran's dark eyes were calm, and he said slowly: "Juntao and the concubine of the Xue family are husband and wife, the Xu family is a father and son, and the Jiang family is a cousin."
"so?"
"They all have a direct relationship with the head of the family."
Yun Qi touched his chin: "According to what you said, does the murderer have a grudge against the heads of these families? Or is he simply hating the rich and not being able to bear the idea that they are being protected by the head of the family?"
Qiu Fu.
Lu Anran's eyelids twitched, and for some reason he thought of the strange man in front of Jingzhao Mansion.
When he mentioned the word 'noble', he had a sarcastic and disdainful tone, contemptuous eyes, and weird dialogue.
Suddenly, his eyes suddenly became bigger.
He was lying on the flatbed truck. Lu Anran naturally thought that his legs were completely disabled, but if it wasn't all broken, if it was one foot...
Lu Anran stood up suddenly, causing Yunqi to cast a puzzled look.
"I'm going to Jingzhao Mansion." She didn't have time to explain, so she hurriedly left.
Yunqi reached out and grabbed his wrist, "What did you think of?"
"There is a person..." Lu Anran frowned, "I have to see it to be sure."
Yun Qi still didn't let go and said leisurely: "Can your two short legs be as fast as watching the moon?"
Lu Anran realized after a while that she had been anxious just now, so she sat down again and briefly explained her suspicions.
Yun Qi snapped his fingers and said to a certain place in the night sky: "Did you hear that? Catch the person."
Lu Anran didn't see Guan Yue's figure, but he could feel the strange movement in the wind.
"Actually, besides the old servant of Guangping Mansion, there is another surprise here."
Yun Qi's voice brought back Lu Anran's thoughts, slowly calming her anxious and anxious mind, "Well, Yin Subaru."
"Do you think the murderer was trying to clear his name by committing the crime so quickly?"
Lu Anran had done an autopsy. Whether it was the incision on Li He's neck or the charm on the soul-inducing flag, they were exactly the same as several cases except the Yin Pleia case. The scene was perfect and cruel, which showed that the murderer was calm, meticulous, and mentally strong. A calm person.
Yun Qi sneered: "It seems that the murderer of the Yin Subaru case is a poor imitator."
Lu Anran responded quietly: "Xu Shaokai's suspicion is even greater."
Guan Yue hadn't returned yet, but Su Ji sent someone to inform Yun Qi that two Jixia Palace disciples had come to report the case to the Criminal Division.
On the way, Yun Qi joked: "Don't let this happen again. Your Jixia Palace didn't choose a good day to open."
Lu Anran glanced at the sky. The wind was blowing and the clouds were moving away. The stars were appearing and disappearing among the clouds. He said in a steady voice: "The Tianshiyuan is moving. It controls the nine stars in the sky. It is suitable for: receiving wealth, offering sacrifices, consecrating, etc." Smooth; avoid: villains."
Yun Qi was stunned for a moment, looking at Lu Anran's retreating back, he suddenly came to his senses, shook his head and laughed silently——
"What a stingy girl."
Co-authoring is a different way to scold him.
—
The people who came were unexpected, one was Wuka and the other was Su Zhi.
"Oh Brother Yun, you're finally here." Su Zhi's voice was loud, and he was making loud noises wherever he went.
Yun Qi glanced at him and said, "Why are you all here together?" He put his left hand behind his back and gestured to the person behind him.
Su Zhi complained bitterly: "Forget it, I was walking when I saw Brother Wu just saying hello, good guy, in the dark, a man jumped out for no reason, Brother Wu blocked it for me, and his hand was scratched. In broad daylight, in the clear and clear place of the royal capital, there is such a vicious and evil person who seeks wealth and harms life. Brother Yun, you must catch him as soon as possible, otherwise you will not know how many good people will be harmed."
Among the people Lu Anran had met, the most out-of-the-box person was Su Zhi, who pointed out the contradiction in his words, "Is it in the dark, or in broad daylight?"
Su Zhi couldn't stand such a serious tone, and felt a familiar tingling sensation on his scalp. He grinned, "This, hey, hey, that's not the point." As he said that, he pressed his right hand heavily on Wuka's shoulder, and changed his tone, "The point is Yes, we were almost killed for money!"
Wuka sat in a daze with a look of despair on his face. Su Zhi slapped him on the shoulder, and his whole body almost jumped up. He looked very frightened.
Yunqi crossed his legs and sat down, resting his forehead with one hand, and said lazily: "Looking, age, height, whether the skin is black or white, whether the hair is long or short, whether he is wearing silk and satin or coarse linen, and whether he is wearing dry boots. Or walking shoes?" He said, pointing his fingers at Su Ji who rolled his eyes, "Write it down, write it all down."
Su Zhi opened his mouth and looked at Wuka for a while, "Brother Wu, are you coming?"
One hand of Uka held the other hand that was still bleeding. The "tick-tock-tock" on the ground had gathered into a small pool of blood. Due to the blood loss, his face became paler, his eyes kept wandering, and the whole person was in shock. appearance.
"Ah? Ah..." Wuka's lips trembled, his body trembled, and he couldn't speak clearly.
Su Zhi scratched his hair and said, "Why don't you bandage Brother Wu's wound first? He is timid and smells blood. He will definitely not be able to remember anything."
Su Ji came over holding a dossier and said, "Speak for him and be as detailed as possible."
"Me?" Su Zhi pointed his index finger back at his nose, "I didn't see it."
The other three: "..."
Yun Qi sneered: "Are you here to make fun of me?"
Su Zhi rubbed the end of his nose and said aggrievedly: "I told you, the person appeared too suddenly at that time. Brother Wu jumped on me and blocked the knife for me. I didn't faint on the spot. I was very brave."
Su Ji faked a smile and said, "You are really awesome."
"Okay, okay, so-so."
Lu Anran was convinced that Su Zhi was not very good in his mind.
Su Zhi looked outside: "Why hasn't the doctor come yet?"
Su Ji urged again, and the official replied that the doctor from Baoshantang had not returned from his consultation and had to go to Jishitang, which was farther away, to call for someone.
Lu Anran glanced at Yunqi thoughtfully, and Yunqi met his gaze with peach blossom eyes.
Tsk, being looked down upon.
It was indeed a bit embarrassing for the dignified Criminal Division to not even call a doctor, so that the hall fell into an eerie silence for a moment.
Under the candlelight, a cold light flashed suddenly, making everyone present feel their hearts skip a beat.
Su Zhi opened his mouth and saw Lu Anran twisting a slender needle and pricking Wuka's wrist. The technique was so cold and harsh that it made his eyelids tremble.
Even colder than that was Lu Anran's voice, which was like winter snow, passing by her ears as cold as a breeze, "This is just to stop the bleeding temporarily. The front of the incision is a bit deep, so it's best to sew it up with two stitches."
"Sewing?" Su Zhi's mouth trembled, "How to sew?"
Lu Anran looked at him with dark eyes and said lightly, "Have you ever seen sewing clothes?"
Su Zhi swallowed hard, "I've seen it before..." Could this be the same?
Su Ji personally found the fish gut, and Lu Anran worked quickly and crisply, just like sewing clothes. Without blinking, he sewed up the wound and tied it into a beautiful knot in a few strokes.
Seeing her staring at the wound for a long time, Su Zhi said cautiously, "Is there anything else wrong?"
Lu Anran said as if in admiration: "You really need to practice."
"What?"
Su Zhi didn't understand. Mo Yan, who was squatting on the roof outside, stumbled and almost fell to his feet.
He got it! This woman used him as a dead person to practice acupuncture!
After applying medicine and bandaging, the doctor from Jishi Hall rushed over, walked around the room, and asked doubtfully: "Where is the injured?"
Su Ji sent the person away. After taking two sips of hot tea, Wuka's face softened a little and became a little red. However, looking at Lu Anran at this moment, his expression was a little complicated.
"Ouch! I remembered, aren't you a member of the Medical Discipline School? How can you still see a doctor?" Su Zhi stamped his foot and said in shock.
Lu Anran said matter-of-factly: "Besides panting and not panting, is there any difference?"
Su Zhi: It seems right, but something seems wrong.
Yun Qi clenched his fist against his lips and smiled sullenly. He could somewhat tell that he probably had no formal medical training, so Lu Anran never looked at internal diseases, but he seemed to be quite accomplished in dealing with external injuries.
After seeing Lu Anran sit down, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'm going to start questioning. Su Zhi, please step aside first."
Su Zhi refused, "Why? I am also one of the victims!"
"Did you see the murderer or was he injured?" Yun Qi glanced lazily, "Anyone who is not involved should leave quickly. Otherwise, you will disturb the officer's handling of the case. Do you think you should be held responsible for this crime?"
Su Zhi was frightened and went out.
But after going out, I realized a question: No, then why can Lu Anran stay?
In the lobby, Yunqi changed his lazy posture, looked at Wuka, and said with a half-smile, "You can say it now."
