ancient criminal minds

When I met such a patient with personality, I'm really... very angry, but I still have to keep smiling.

Lu Zheng stuffed the red porcelain bottle back indiscriminately, and then began to give him medicine.Ordinarily, this kind of injury must be stitched up, but Lu Zheng is not a professional, so he can only pour the medicine on it, and then tore off a clean shirt of his own as a bandage for someone to wrap it on.I don't know whether it's the medicine that is effective or Jian Yu's health, but after wrapping it up, the bleeding actually stopped.

Lu Zheng heaved a sigh of relief, touched Jian Yu's forehead and found that he didn't have a fever, so he went to look through his clothes. Fortunately, Ji Xiang was thoughtful, he took out a middle coat and a cotton robe, walked over and said: "You can't wear your clothes anymore, let's wear mine for now... What's the matter with you?" He looked at Jian Yu strangely, but the other party didn't know what he was thinking, but looked at the front in a daze.

Jian Yu came back to his senses, but as if nothing happened, he glanced at the clothes in his hand: "I can't wear your clothes."

"They're all men, what do you have to dislike." Lu Zheng had an expression of "you don't know good people", but when the clothes were draped over Jian Yu's body, he was immediately embarrassed.He forgot that his body was just a 15-year-old boy, while Jian Yu was already a grown man's body despite being thin.

"Ahem, what, it's better to be smaller than to wear dirty clothes."

Jian Yu looked at Lu Zheng, who refused to admit his mistake, with a half-smile, and let him get dressed for him.Naturally, the things from the British government were not bad, especially those prepared for Third Young Master Lu. The azure brocade jacket was finely embroidered with the four friends of a gentleman, and a circle of mink fur was sewn on the cuffs and hem.If the young master of the Lu family was wearing it, he must be handsome and elegant, but now that the clothes are tightly wrapped around Jian Yu's body, the elegance and handsomeness are completely gone, leaving only the indescribable funnyness.

Lu Zheng originally wanted to ask Jian Yu something, but he couldn't straighten up for a long time because of his appearance.

Jian Yu still had no expression on her face, but a faint smile appeared in her eyes.Seeing that Lu Zheng was laughing almost to the bottom of the table, he stretched out his hand to give him a hand: "Enough laughing, I didn't see you so happy when I hugged the girl before."

Lu Zheng froze.

With her chin propped on her right hand, Jian Yu said calmly, "When will you welcome her in?"

"You were the one who was in the woods at the beginning?" Lu Zheng received Jian Yu's inexplicable glance, and for some reason he felt guilty, and quickly argued, "That was a misunderstanding, I don't have the slightest feeling for that girl...wait Now, why should I explain this to you, shouldn't I ask you why are you spying on me in the woods?"

Lu Zheng reacted in time and stared back aggressively.

Jian Yu curled his lips and was about to answer when his face suddenly changed and he rolled back on the spot.

Lu Zheng only saw two shadows flashing in front of his eyes, and saw that Jian Yu was subdued by two men in gray clothes who didn't know where they came from. Then there was a loud noise outside the door, and the door of the wing room was pushed open. Several guards in blue rushed in, drew out their knives and put them on Jian Yu's neck.

Lu Zheng was still confused, and saw the two rows of guards at the door separated, and a figure in official uniform walked in from behind.

"Big... big brother?"

Lu Che heard Lu Zheng's words, but he didn't even turn his head. He just looked at Jian Yu and said, "To be able to escape under the criminal guard for three days, the education of the Marquis of Decheng is pretty good."

It was only then that Lu Zheng realized that the guards in blue were the criminal guards belonging to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. They must have appeared here to arrest Jian Yu. He looked at Jian Yu worriedly.

Jian Yu didn't panic in the slightest, he glanced at Lu Zheng lightly, and then said to Lu Che coldly: "Lord Lu, I have wronged you."

"On the night Jingchen died, someone saw you entering Shuimiao Temple. That Jingchen was directly strangled to death with a rope, and her struggle was extremely weak, indicating that the prisoner had great strength. You have time to commit the crime , and have enough strength, - besides, if not, what are you running away these days?"

Jian Yu raised her head: "Then why do you want to kill her?"

Lu Che was unmoved at all: "You have to ask yourself this, but it doesn't matter. When you arrive in the hall of the Ministry of Punishment, you will naturally have a chance to share your story. Take it away."

Two criminal guards took Jian Yu from the man in gray and escorted him out. Jian Yu didn't resist at all, but paused for a while when passing by Lu Zheng. He was still wearing a boy's clothes, and when he looked at him With warmth in his eyes, he said softly, "I will come back to find you."

He left such endless words, and was taken away.Lu Zheng was left to face the livid Lu Che.

Lu Che wanted to rush back to investigate the case, so he could only give him a hard look, and even had time to arrange for someone to conceal the matter before leaving in a hurry.By the time the British husband and wife got the news, the matter had already been suppressed by Lu Che.

When Lu Zheng returned to Zhutanju, he still felt depressed. The contact with Jian Yu convinced him that the other party was not the murderer. However, after this incident, Lu Che would definitely feel that he was deliberately exonerating Jian Yu and would never listen to it. He explained that the most urgent task is to quickly find the murderer.

According to the available clues, he speculates that the murderer is a male, about 30 to 40 years old, living alone, working and communicating less with others, taciturn and cautious, and probably accompanied by sexual repression.

Lu Zheng's finger moved unconsciously on the table. The prisoner boasted of justice and regarded his method as a punishment for the dead. The kneeling posture also shows that this person subconsciously wants to get attention, and it is inferred that his social status is relatively low.

In addition, he guessed that the murderer was not a local, or that he had left Yanjing for many years and only returned in the past few years, which made him have a very low sense of belonging to this city.

Lu Zheng was still thinking about it, but he heard that he had a visitor, it turned out to be Bao Zheng, who waited awkwardly in the side hall with a box of snacks and a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine.Lu Zheng was not very popular since he was a child, and it was rare to have a visitor come to his door after so many years. After hearing this, Yun was very curious, and even met this little catcher for the first time, and said a few words gently.

When Lu Zheng arrived, he saw Bao Zheng wiping the sweat from his brow, his face almost stiffened from laughing, seeing him coming was like seeing a savior.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Yo! Brother Bao is a rare visitor!"

"Don't make fun of me." Bao Zheng sighed, the relationship between the two has become much closer since the trip to Yizhuang, if not for this, Bao Zheng would never have come to the door of the British government with such a shabby gift of.

Lu Zheng picked up a piece of white sugar cake and put it into his mouth: "It tastes good, it is a time-honored brand of Yongji!"

Bao Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth: "That's really embarrassing, my mother did it."

Lu Zheng was slapped in the face for his inability to pretend, he coughed: "Auntie is good at crafting, you are really lucky." He then said subtly, "Let's talk about the business first, let's talk about the business first."

Bao Zheng took out a list from his pocket: "This is the population who moved to Yanjing in the past few years. If I hadn't had a good relationship with Zheng Shuban, I wouldn't have gotten this list." Seeing that Lu Zheng read it carefully, he couldn't help but Ask, "Do you suspect someone from outside?"

Lu Zheng said his conjecture, and Bao Zheng was stunned: "How did you guess it?" He thought for a while, and then said, "One more thing you forgot, there is a curfew tonight, patrol the city People from the battalion will patrol the city every night, and there are very few people who can travel at night."

Lu Zheng suddenly realized, and the two looked at each other: "Watchman!"

Indeed, if it is a watchman, it is quite normal to appear on the street at night, and the work of the watchman also fits Lu Zheng's profile of the murderer.

Bao Zheng rubbed his chin, thoughtfully: "If it's a watchman, I recently heard from my brothers that there is a watchman in Nancheng who hasn't shown up for a few days, after the case of Shuimiaoan came out."

"Nancheng! Isn't Baiquan Mountain just outside Nancheng?" Lu Zheng was very excited.

"Go, go and see!"

"Forehead……"

Bao Zheng glanced at Lu Zheng suspiciously.

Lu Zheng scratched his head embarrassingly: "I'm still restrained."

"..."

In the end, under the leadership of the old driver Bao Zheng, Lu Zheng struggled to climb out of the dog hole, and the two headed towards Nancheng in disgrace.

Yanjing City is divided into the imperial city, the inner city and the outer city. The innermost part is the imperial city, then the inner city, and the outermost circle is the outer city.The outer city is divided into four areas, southeast, north, and west, with a total of twelve city gates. Baiquan Mountain is ten miles away from Anhua Gate in the south city. The distance between the doors is also not far.

The two headed towards the house of the watchman surnamed Cao. The watchman lived in Anlefang in the south city, which can be regarded as a slum in the entire city of Yanjing.Lu Zheng has not been here for a long time, but neither he nor the original owner has ever been in such a messy place. He followed Bao Zheng carefully through a puddle. The drainage of Yanjing City is good, but it is limited to Within the inner city.

Bao Zheng looked back at him: "This place is hard to walk!"

Lu Zheng pursed his lips, but did not speak.

"I lived here when I was young." Bao Zheng smiled, and while speaking, he dexterously stepped over a puddle, and stretched out his hand again, "Let me help you!"

Lu Zheng was a little surprised: "No way." Bao Zheng didn't seem to have climbed up from the bottom, and he was actually literate, so people would believe anyone who came from a small down-and-out family.

"I knew you didn't believe me." Bao Zheng seemed to be a little proud, "When I told others, they thought I was lying, but I really came from here. I lived here until I was ten years old. At that time This alley is not called Anlefang, this alley is called Xinghua Alley, because there are two apricot blossom trees planted at the entrance of the alley, we often knock down the apricots before they are ripe, and put them in our mouths without wiping them , that taste...is really sour."

Bao Zheng fell into the memory, seemed to recall that Suan Xingzi unconsciously wrinkled his nose, and then smiled shyly: "I'm laughing, I tell you to listen to me talking about these boring things."

Lu Zheng shook his head: "It's okay, what happened after that?"

"Later..." Bao Zheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "I met my teacher when I was ten years old. He was a very powerful lawyer, and he was able to infer the criminal's appearance from the case files just like you. Unfortunately, I was too stupid. learned, that's why I became a catcher."

Lu Zheng suddenly became interested: "Then what is your teacher's taboo? Is he still in Yanjing?"

Bao Zheng's face darkened for a moment: "The teacher has left Yanjing for many years, and now I don't know where he is."

Lu Zheng was a little disappointed.

Bao Zheng led him through another alley, then pointed to the dilapidated house at the innermost side and said, "Then Zheng Dahe's home is here."
