I rely on solving the case to attack the king of hell

Xie Zaiyue took a look at Song Liuguang and said with a smile: "My lord, Mr. Zhao's words are very reasonable. For the sake of your innocence, it's not a bad idea to go to the Ministry of Punishment."

Feng Shui turns around, let you shake my old bottom in front of Mr. Yan.

Song Liuguang seemed to have expected Xie Zaiyue to have such a hand, waved his fan, smiled coquettishly, and said casually: "Oh, I was going to go to the palace with my old lady, but now I go to the Ministry of Punishment. I can only go to the palace if I have a chance. gone."

This is threatening Xie Zaiyue, if you don't speak for me, I won't take any cases for Dali Temple.

Xie Zaiyue was really sensible, and in a moment, he turned around and said righteously: "Master Zhao, you can ask questions, but I think it is unnecessary to ask the prince to go to the Ministry of Punishment."

"I thought Mr. Xie could be different, but I didn't expect the people in Dali Temple to be the same." Zhao Xi sneered, thinking of Zhang Buxun's famous saying, and added: "They are all so afraid of the powerful, greedy for life and afraid of death."

Xie Zaiyue looked at Zhao Xi, thinking that Lao Duan and Zhang Bu couldn't get through, there really was a reason, he wanted to smoke when he saw the high-spirited look of the Ministry of Punishment.

In fact, Xie Zaiyue really misunderstood him for thinking this way. Zhao Xi has always been peaceful and fair and serious in handling cases. If you want to blame it, you can blame Zhang Buxun for being too talkative and often belittling Dali Temple in front of his subordinates.

Yan Han held back Yao and Xie Zaiyue, who was bothering Dali Temple's reputation, and stepped forward, "Master Zhao, can you tell me the exact time of Miss Chu Luo's death?"

Zhao Xi tilted his head, thinking where did another nosy person come from?However, this person has a dignified appearance and elegant charm... he is really good-looking.

After a brief absence, Zhao Xi said: "Forgive me, my lord. Mr. Zhang has ordered you not to mention the case to irrelevant people."

Xie Zaiyue said seriously: "This is our Lord Shaoqing, please be more polite, Lord Zhao!"

"Be more polite!" Song Liuguang cooperated from the side, looking extremely proud.

Zhao Xi was speechless, why am I being rude?

But since he is the Young Minister of Dali Temple, Zhao Xi still has to give this bit of face. Mr. Zhang said that we should keep a line in life so that we can meet each other in the future, so he said: "So it's Mr. Yan, I'm sorry for your disrespect."

Then, Zhao Xi gestured for Yan Han to go to a secluded place to talk.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xie Zaiyue whispered a few words to Song Liuguang, and His Royal Highness Prince Jing slipped out of the back door like a thief.

Seeing that Song Liuguang went out successfully, Xie Zaiyue swaggered back to Yan Han's side.

Zhao Xi was weighing the importance, and carefully revealed: "The time of death of the deceased was probably between the first hour of the ugly hour and the first hour of the Yin hour last night. The cause of death was excessive blood loss. At present, the possibility of suicide is ruled out."

Xie Zaiyue looked around, and saw some places in Xingzui Building were covered with wooden veils, with distinctive pink gauze curtains hanging on them, and there were some unburned candles piled up next to them, and several brand new incense burners poured down. , could not help asking: "Recently, what activities are there in Xingzui Building?"

Zhao Xi glanced at Xie Zaiyue in surprise, and blurted out, "How did Master Xie know?"

Xie Zaiyue pointed to the wooden ladder: "Only the veil above the wooden ladder is brand new, so it can be seen that it has just been hung up. The candles and incense burners scattered below are all brand new, and they must be used for decoration."

Zhao Xi took a look at those things and nodded clearly: "Thank you for your good eyesight. Tomorrow night is the Oiran Contest in Xingzuilou. Yesterday, Liying ordered people to arrange it all night before hanging up these veils. Chu Luo's maid exclaimed The master is dead, and the Xingzui building is in chaos, no one can take care of these things."

"Oiran competition?" Xie Zaiyue frowned.

After going through the first four cases, he has figured out that the law of committing crimes follows the order of the six human desires, eyes, nose, tongue, and touch. Couldn't it be that Chu Luo's rival had inflated evil intentions and killed Chu Luo cruelly in order to compete for the first place?

Yan Han seemed to understand Xie Zaiyue's speculation, he said: "Chu Luo has been the best in Biancheng for several years. He has no competitors at all. The most important thing is that Chu Luo will not participate in this competition."

Xie Zaiyue first glanced at it in admiration, then suddenly realized something was wrong, and said through gritted teeth: "Master Yan really knows it clearly, it seems that I have a lot of thoughts about Chu Luo in my heart."

Yan Han's eyes sparkled, he smiled lightly, and said softly: "Song Liuguang was the one who nagged me on the road."

Xie Zaiyue froze, smiled unnaturally: "So that's how it is, that's how it is."

Looking at the two, Zhao Xi subconsciously felt that the two were tricky with the inherent meticulousness and alertness of the employees of the Ministry of Justice. No matter how you looked at them, they looked like a young couple who were at odds... Thinking of this, Zhao Xi shook his head in his heart, secretly thinking that it must be Dali Temple's ethos of flattering his superiors made him miss his judgment.

The three of them had their own thoughts, and Li Ying's voice suddenly sounded over there: "Young Master Jiang, why are you here? Well, I told you not to do anything, this is the owner of Ruyu Study on Xuanwu Street!"

The Ruyu Study on Xuanwu Street has a superior location and a magnificent momentum. Anyone who has a little ink in the stomach of Biancheng regards it as a scenic spot.Of course, what Li Ying said was also to tell the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice that Mr. Jiang can occupy such a large space in Xuanwu Street, which means that there are people in his superiors. Don't be ignorant of current affairs and accidentally hurt good people.

Xie Zaiyue followed Li Ying's voice and saw Mr. Jiang was in his early 20s, standing tall and graceful with a jade face and eyebrows.

Mr. Jiang over there said: "Mother Liying, what's going on? What happened?"

Seeing this, Zhao Xi had already walked over. Li Ying didn't have time to explain to Mr. Jiang, and hurriedly said: "Master Zhao, Mr. Jiang is not a guest of Xingzuilou, he doesn't know Xiao Luo at all."

Zhao Xi paused, thinking it was an episode.

Mr. Jiang was confused, and asked: "I happen to pass by, I want to ask Li Ying's mother if the book list is ready?"

Xingzuilou attaches great importance to cultural quality, and its target customers are cultural people with money and leisure. In order to let the girls and customers have something to talk about, Liying will order a batch of books from Ruyu Bookstore every once in a while for them to study and entertain .

Liying sighed, and said dejectedly: "I'm sorry, there is something wrong in the building today, I will send the book list to Ruyuzhai another day."

Mr. Jiang still looked as if he had fallen into the clouds and mist. When he looked around, he saw that the building was full of officials, and he was not stupid. He hurried down the slope and disappeared in a flash.

After the little episode, Zhao Xi was going to politely ask Yan Han and Xie Zaiyue to go out, and warn them with practical actions, don't try to ask for any more information.

Seeing that the two of them were about to be pushed out the door, Song Liuguang finally rode his horse and appeared at the door of Xingzui Building at a speed of [-] meters.

With a triumphant expression on his face, Song Liuguang waved his fan and said, "Zhao Xi listens."

Xie Zaiyue breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said: Hades' king is merciful, if it wasn't for the investigation of evil thoughts, he would never have allowed Song Liuguang to bully others like this.

Zhao Xi stood there in a daze for a long time, and finally knelt down amid Song Liuguang's impatient coughing.

Song Liuguang opened the imperial decree in his hand, and said proudly, "Let the case of Xingzuilou be handed over to Dali Temple, please."

Xie Zaiyue was stunned, thinking that the emperor's level of writing imperial edicts was an insult to people's ears.

Reluctantly, Zhao Xi stood up, accepted the imperial edict, and said displeasedly: "My lord, you are playing cards a bit out of order."

Song Liuguang dug his ears and said disdainfully: "Zhang Buxun went to the palace in the middle of the night to wake up His Majesty, insisting on robbing the case with our Dali Temple, is this called playing cards according to the rules?"

If Duan Qiankun and Zhang Buxun couldn't deal with each other, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment began to compete openly and secretly. This kind of competition has a long history, and even the emperor has heard about it and suffered a lot.

That's why Zhao Xi was angry at the moment, but he also knew that the future was long and there were still many opportunities for competition, so he didn't argue any more, and left with his subordinates angrily.

Before leaving, Zhao Xi said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness Jing Wang, I must go to the Holy Master to read a book."

Song Liuguang didn't care, and took his time to say: "We'll wait and see if His Majesty is looking for you, a foreign minister, or for this handsome nephew, the king."

Not long after Zhao Xi left, Liu Yu and Hao Yidian took their hands and filled the Xingzui Building again.

Song Liuguang wanted to send Chu Luo off for the last time, and followed Hao Yidian to the autopsy, Liu Yu led people to interrogate everyone in the Xingzui Building, while Yan Han and Xie Zaiyue went to the scene of the crime.

The former owner of Xingzuilou was an elegant person. Under his construction, Xingzuilou is like a paradise. It faces water in the west, and you can enjoy the lotus in summer. There are hundreds of flowers in the north. The pines and cypresses on the surface are verdant to the sky, and they are uniquely green in winter.

As the oiran, Chu Luo lived in the most spacious big house on the east side.There were originally three bedrooms. After Chu Luo moved in, he opened up the three rooms and divided them into study rooms, studios, and bedrooms, with each person occupying one side exclusively.

The interior layout is very elegant, the study room has a faint fragrance of pine ink, and there is no trace of makeup.There are many portraits of Chu Luo hanging in the studio, Zhang Zhang is in high spirits, with a smile on his face, which shows his extraordinary brushwork.Going further inside is Chu Luo's bedroom, which is also the scene of the crime.

Xie Zaiyue looked around, secretly thinking that the murderer might have cleaned the place on purpose, it looked very tidy without any mess, except for the blood stains, it didn't look like a murder scene at all.

Yan Han was also looking for clues. He stopped and walked, and suddenly stood in front of the window. He looked outside, and seemed to mention it inadvertently: "I didn't expect this piece of pines and forests to be so dense. Walking in this path, it must be It's refreshing."

Xie Zaiyue looked curiously, and sure enough, he saw a small path outside the window, leading to the woods, and the houses in the Xingzui Building that could see this path, except for Chu Luo's room, were only upstairs. Luminous private room.

Xie Zaiyue pondered for a moment, then asked: "Master Yan, are you reminding me that the murderer came in and out through this road?"

Yan Han nodded, smiled lightly and said, "It's just a guess."

Xie Zaiyue moved closer to Yan Han's side, stared at the path carefully, and murmured to himself, "I don't know where this road is going."

Yan Han said: "After walking for a stick of incense on this road, we arrived at the courtyard wall of Xingzui Building. There is a small door in the courtyard wall, locked with a copper lock, and no one is guarding it."

Xie Zaiyue looked at him and said, "Song Liuguang said it again?"

Yan Han shook his head: "No, it's just because I can see farther and clearly than ordinary people."

Xie Zaiyue: "..." You are always clairvoyant!
