White clothes bind me [cat and mouse]

Zhan Zhao also realized something, took Juque in his hand and walked up first, Bai Yutang leisurely walked behind him, the two of them still had a tacit understanding without making any sound.

In fact, the house is not very big. The door is a half-open grocery store. Because the business is not good, there are no people there.When walking into the courtyard, the house facing the east looks like the master bedroom, and the house to the south looks like a utility room.And all the rooms were destroyed, and the messy scene looked like the murderer had a grudge against the family.

That burst of movement came from the room on the east side. When Zhan Zhao walked in, the door seemed to be kicked open, and it didn't look like someone was inside from the outside.

Judging from the fact that the house was searched everywhere, the murderer not only killed the family members here, but also searched for something in the house, which seemed to be very important.

Zhan Zhao thought to himself, what is it that killed another suspected locksmith?What does this have to do with the case that Mr. Gongsun's classmate asked for help?Could it be that the locksmith in that county had been killed, and the murderer went to Songjiang Mansion to find the murderer?

After he had conceived many things in his mind, Zhan Zhao heard the kicking sound again, and he followed the sound to search for the house one by one.

But he only heard the sound of a mechanism being turned on, turned around and saw Bai Yutang standing next to the hanger, moving a switch on the hanger that looked like a switch. If Bai Yutang hadn't pushed the thing, Zhan Zhao would still I really didn't see that such a simple and plain thing actually hides a mechanism.

Then a secret door opened in front of the two of them, and a child-like person fell out of it.

It looked like the secret door was a security door, specially used for hiding, but I didn't expect that the people in this room didn't use it, but gave it to a child.

Zhan Zhao went up and pulled the rag out of the child's mouth, and immediately heard the child scream, "Who are you? Where is my father!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other. It seemed that the dead person in front was the father of the child. Zhan Zhao tried his best to comfort him. It was also because Zhan Zhao's righteousness seemed to be given to the child. He gradually calmed down, but soon stopped. I couldn't stop crying.

Even if Zhan Zhao desperately wanted to get some information from the child, he might not be able to do so.

The people in the neighborhood also seemed to have noticed something was wrong with the house, and soon reported it to the police.

Because of the Tengu case, there are also many yamen servants patrolling nearby. They came to the door as soon as they heard the situation here. When they saw two strangers and a child in the house, they quickly pulled out the knives in their hands and said: "Are you Who? Let go of that kid!"

Bai Yutang glanced at Zhan Zhao, who was the only one with an official position, and stood by himself playing with his fan in boredom, not paying attention to the shouts of the yamen servants.

Seeing Bai Yutang's impatience, the yamen servant immediately became angry: "You! Report your name! Did you kill this family?"

Zhan Zhao stopped his action of pulling out the card, and said dissatisfiedly, "You are the yamen servant here? Why do you think my friend is the murderer without saying a word?"

The yamen servant saw that Zhan Zhao still had a sword in his hand, and decided that he must be a quack, and quickly said, "You mean that I have no evidence. Judging from the body of the deceased, he was wiped with a sword on his throat. It happens to have a sharp weapon, I suspect that you two are the murderers, why don't you press me and take them back to the county government!"

"Yes!"

The yamen servants behind him were about to make a move, but Zhan Zhao felt that the direction was getting more and more strange. He just asked a few simple questions, wanting to see how the yamen servants in Songjiang Mansion were doing, but he didn't expect them to be so stupid and ignorant.

Judging from the condition of the corpse, although it was right to wipe the throat with a sword, it can be seen that the deceased was facing the murderer, and a large amount of blood was spattered after being wiped. From the blood on the ground at the scene, some It was covered by something, and the person who covered the blood was probably the murderer.

In other words, the murderer must have blood on his body when he left.

But today he and Bai Yutang are wearing the same white clothes, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like there is blood in it, it is really stupid.

Reluctantly, Zhan Zhao pulled out his identity badge, and said to the yamen servant, "Take a good look at this before talking to me."

This time, Zhan Zhao’s voice carried some authority. The yamen servant who was dismissive at first wanted to stretch out his hand and wave away his waist badge, but when he saw the imperial seal on it, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhan Zhao’s whole body. Can't help asking: "Are you Mr. Zhan Zhaozhan, the fourth-rank guard with a knife from Kaifeng Mansion?"

You must know that a fourth-rank guard with a knife is not a high-ranking official in the capital, but the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture is only a fourth-rank official, which means that this person can be an equal to the prefect!

This realization startled the yamen servant so much that he almost knelt down and begged for mercy.

Zhan Zhao saw that he finally looked serious, so he sighed. It seems that the yamen servants in Songjiang Mansion are still not as good as those in Kaifeng Mansion. Judging by the appearance of this yamen servant, he must act according to his identity.

Although Zhan Zhao is a member of the government, he has never liked these people who look after the official position and act, and it is even more difficult to take care of them. He ordered: "Let's clean up this place."

The yamen servant kept saying, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Zhan Zhao suggested: "Have someone come and search, is there any evidence in this room?"

Walking to the foyer, these yamen servants simply knew some rules, and the surroundings of the deceased were not damaged by many visitors.

Because Zhan Zhao was only in charge of investigating the Tiangou case, Zhan Zhao did not have the authority to participate in the ordinary murder case in Songjiang Mansion, not to mention that he didn't know whether this case was related to the locksmith murder case, at least now this case could not be under his jurisdiction.

So Bai Yutang stood outside, and Zhan Zhao stood at the door watching the yamen servants walking around, rummaging through the entire house without missing a single tile.

Bai Yutang said, "How about it, cat? What's your analysis?"

Zhan Zhao turned his head and saw Bai Yutang staring blankly, because his face was a bit cold, so even if there were people watching the excitement nearby, he didn't dare to approach him.

Zhan Zhao suddenly felt a little sorry, and answered Bai Yutang's doubts by the way: "I don't know, this case is a bit strange."

The locksmith seemed to know very well that someone was going to kill him, and even made a safe room, but it was a pity that only his son escaped the murder.

Bai Yutang said, "I don't think the locksmith wants to escape by himself."

Zhan Zhao walked with him and asked, "How do you say?"

Bai Yutang said: "He was so far away from the main house, and he didn't intend to resist before he died. It seems that he told his son about the safe house here, let him hide himself, and attract the murderer's attention."

Zhan Zhao thought about it, and confirmed his idea: "It's not impossible."

But all the unknowns have nothing to do with them for the time being, and the two finally came to the place pointed by the old man.

This time it was Bai Yutang who stepped forward and knocked on the door.

And the people inside didn't seem to have the slightest precautions, listening to the figure stepping on the footsteps and opening the door.

A yawning, half-awake kid appeared inside the black-red door.Bai Yutang recognized it immediately, this was the kid he sent back that night.

Nie Cheng inside, after yawning, looked in surprise at Bai Yutang, who was dressed in white and looked very unhappy, and subconsciously closed the door.

But he was facing Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, so why did he close the door so easily.

And a child can't compare to the force of a first-class master. Two adults walked in from the door. Nie Cheng looked around, held a broom and said to them vigilantly: "Who are you! What do you want to do!! ?”

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang with some dissatisfaction and exerted more strength. He must have felt some discomfort in his chest again.

But Bai Yutang said to Nie Cheng: "You don't know me anymore, I sent you back that night."

Nie Cheng was like a cat. He exploded when he encountered danger, stepped back step by step, but bumped into his own big water tank, and said tremblingly: "I am very grateful that you sent me back, but you How did you know I live here!"

Speaking of this, Bai Yutang's face became even colder: "Although you are worthy of praise for being vigilant, don't you just ask anyone in the neighborhood to know where you live?"

Nie Cheng was dumbfounded, he didn't think of this at all, he was still a child after all.

Zhan Zhao stood behind Bai Yutang, tapped his shoulder, and motioned for him to speak.

People in the government seemed to have a way with children, so Bai Yutang gave him his position indifferently.

Zhan Zhao lowered his body, took out his badge again, and said, "My name is Zhan Zhao, and I'm from Kaifeng Mansion."

Nie Cheng didn't wait for him to say, and immediately exclaimed: "You are the hero Zhan?!"

Before Zhan Zhao finished his words, he asked curiously, "You know me?"

Nie Cheng was not nervous at once, and danced his hands and said, "I heard that Mr. Shu said about you!"

This made Zhan Zhao even more curious. On weekdays, the stories he heard from storytellers were either classics or strange tales, but he never expected his own name to appear in the storytellers' mouths.

After finishing speaking, Nie Cheng glanced at Bai Yutang, and then whispered to Zhan Zhao, "Is that next to you the very fierce Bai Yutang that I heard?"

Bai Yutang gritted his teeth and whispered, "I can hear you."

The sound immediately frightened the child to squat on the ground, ouching a few times.

Zhan Zhao helped him up and asked, "What's your name? Where's your family?"

Nie Cheng probably felt that there was a hero by his side, so he gained some courage, and said loudly, "My name is Nie Cheng. I don't have parents, so I live here alone."

Zhan Zhao paused and asked, "Then why do you go to work in Huajie at night? The Tengu wants to kill you that night, do you know why?"

Nie Cheng shook his head and said, "Because I need money. Isn't the Tengu hurting people in Songjiang Mansion recently? I just had bad luck to meet him."
