On the way, He Zhou drove and asked him where he was going.

Ping Wei thought for a while, "Do you think we should go find Liang Jingzhao? I remember he said that his father would sometimes patrol the city gate and ask him to help pay attention? If Shi Qianlin really did it, I'm afraid he will sneak out of the city .”

"Then I'll keep an eye on it?" Because of the last meeting, He Zhou didn't have a good impression of Liang Jingzhao, even if he was comforted by Ping Wei later, but...

"Don't you want to bother him?" Ping smiled, "But he will also take part in the martial arts exam, please help him, he will be very happy, and feel that the relationship with us is one step closer, besides, he also plans to go to the frontier, More people you know, so you will have less trouble there later."

"You think too far," He Zhou gave him a nonchalant look.

"Going?" Ping Wei asked softly, with a soft voice.

"You're already like this, how can I not go?" He Zhou glanced at the back, wanting to pull someone over for a kiss.

Ping Wei saw the restlessness in his eyes and thought it was funny, but the two of them were on the street now and they had something to do, so they turned and went back to the carriage.

In the Liang Mansion, Jing Zhao practiced martial arts in the backyard.

When the butler came to report, he was still a little surprised, until Ping Wei and He Zhou appeared in front of him, he grinned and said with a smile, "It's really you, why are you here suddenly?"

"I want to ask you for help with something," Liang Jingzhao is straight-hearted and doesn't like others to go around in circles, so Pingwei cut straight to the point.

At this time, Liang Jingzhao was still shirtless, and He Zhou saw it from behind, picked up the clothes he had placed next to him and threw them over, "Put it on."

Liang Jingzhao caught it, "Thank you."

"No, I just miss you..." Ping Wei glanced at He Zhou, and He Zhou silently swallowed back the words "dirty our eyes".

After Jingzhao put on his clothes, Pingwei walked over and asked, "Is there any place where we can discuss things, Brother Liang? Let's go there and talk."

"This way, please," Liang Jingzhao took them to a small hall next to them. After the three of them sat down, they said calmly, "Have you heard about the incident at Mr. Liu's house in the Ministry of War last June?"

As soon as the words fell, Liang Jingzhao's face suddenly sank. His father and the father of the murderer Shi Qianlin were both in the military department, so he knew it clearly. I have been paying attention to this matter for three months."

That being the case, Pingwei said "um", and told him what happened last night.

"Do you suspect it's Shi Qianlin?"

"Yes, Lord Qi has already sent someone to watch him."

"Is there any evidence?" Jing Zhao asked.

"No, no murder weapon was found in the alley, but judging by the size of the fatal wound on the neck, I think the murder weapon is very likely to be a hairpin."

Liang Jingzhao pondered for a moment, "Do you think it is possible to find it if you search the Shifu? Will Shi Qianlin have the habit of keeping murder weapons?"

"It's possible. From the fact that he likes to torture corpses in the first case, it can be seen that his heart is very twisted. Generally, such people will feel excited after killing people, and then want to collect the murder weapon. But..." Ping Wei After a pause, he changed the topic, "If the second case is also committed by him, because he has been caught before, he may be afraid after the second murder, and it may not be necessary to destroy the murder weapon. .”

Liang Jingzhao listened to him and said, "Generally, if things like hairpins become murder weapons, if it were me, I would go to some shops selling ironware and ask them to help destroy them?"

"But won't this be too troublesome," He Zhou said, "Qi Zheng said that he went to the Shifu at the eighth quarter of Zichou, if Shi Qianlin was really inside and hasn't come out until now, there is no chance to go to the iron shop gone."

"Ask someone to help bring it out?"

"No, after Shi Qianlin's accident last year, his father, Shi Zongxi, took him very seriously. Usually, the servants are also afraid of him. If there is anything wrong, they will tell Shi Zongxi."

"Then if the guards are so strict, how did he slip out to commit the crime last night?" Liang Jingzhao asked again.

Ping smiled, and kindly reminded, "Brother Liang, last night was the Shangyuan Festival." Shi Zongxi was invited to the banquet last night, and some of the servants in Shifu must have gone out to play in the street. It happened to give Shi Qianlin a chance to escape.

Speaking of last night's banquet, Liang Jingzhao remembered the identity of Pingwei's fifth prince, his face softened, and said, "I didn't expect that the one I would visit that day would be a prince."

He was joking, Ping Wei said softly, "Whether it's the prince or not, I treat Brother Liang the same."

"Okay!" Liang Jingzhao drank the tea in front of him.

He Zhou gave him a nonchalant glance.

Jing Zhao noticed, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, but was blocked and said, "Brother He, you too."

Seeing the interaction between the two, Ping Wei smiled and brought the topic back, "Can you find a reason to go to Shifu, Jingzhao? We can go to Shi Qianlin's room to have a look."

Liang Jingzhao showed embarrassment, "No, our family has already broken up with the Shi family because of what happened last year. But..." He purposely elongated his voice, "We can sneak in."

"Now?"

"Are you in a hurry?" Liang Jingzhao asked, thinking about the possibility of sneaking into the Shifu during the day, "If you are in a hurry, you can go in now."

Ping smiled slightly, "Aren't you afraid of being known by General Liang?"

"I'm good at skills, I won't be caught," Young Master Liang said confidently in himself.

Ping Wei shook his head, "Wait a little longer. I'll see if Sir Qi has found any more clues about this case. If they all point to Shi Qianlin, you go."

"you?"

"You and He Zhou, or do you want to go alone?"

"No," Liang Jingzhao said, "I thought you would be with Pingwei."

"Me," Ping smiled, "no, there's no need for three people to find the same thing."

"Oh...that's right," Jing Zhao nodded.

He Zhou looked at Ping Wei and said expressionlessly, "Or this person..." He pointed at Liang Jingzhao, "Change it, you and I will go."

"No," Ping Wei looked at him with a smile on his face, "I have other things to do."

"What's the matter?" Jing Zhao looked at him curiously.

"Go check on my brother."

"Ok?"

"I want to know what kind of deal he and Shi Zongxi have made, or why Shi Zongxi caught him, so that he asked His Majesty to intercede with His Majesty last year when he was on the cusp."

"What's wrong?" Seeing the thoughtful expression on his face, Ping Wei asked with a smile.

"It's a good thing I'm on your side, Ping Wei, I'm starting to think you're not easy to mess with." When the body was found late last night, the guards were immediately asked to find Fu Yin, and now it's only a quarter of noon, and they have already come out The four suspects, and plan to investigate further away, the matter between the First Prince and Shi Zongxi.

This courage and action... Jing Zhao sighed, "I feel that your investigation will involve many things."

"It's not very good," Ping Wei didn't care - he just wanted to dig as deep as possible to clean up the moths hiding in the court hall.

Ping Wei and Jing Zhao agreed that no matter what Qi Zheng finds at Hai Shi, He Zhou will wait for him on a street in front of the Shi Mansion Gate, and the two will sneak into the mansion together, looking for the one that might appear in the mansion. The hairpin in Shi Qianlin's room.

In addition, he also asked Jingzhao if he could ask someone to go to the city gate to watch, so that Shi Qianlin would not slip out of the mansion without them noticing—this would be their last layer of protection.

Young Master Liang agreed immediately and reassured them.

"Do you think Liang Jingzhao is reliable?"

After arranging everything, He Zhou asked the coachman to help drive back to the other courtyard, and Hepingwei sat in the carriage and asked.

Ping Wei leaned on him, and said concisely, "There is no doubt about the employment."

He Zhou frowned, as if a little dissatisfied with the answer.

Ping Wei said again, "The fight you had with him in the hall a few days ago, what do you think of his skill?"

"It's not bad, the moves are very upright, without any shady tricks."

"What about your personality?"

"...very cheerful, say what you have to say, don't go around in circles."

"That's it," Ping Wei looked up at him, "Liang Jingzhao should help us."

"But just because he's such a person doesn't mean he's on your side. What if his father supports the First Prince or the Second Prince and deliberately uses his son to trick you?"

It was rare for He Zhou to say such a thing, Ping slightly raised his eyebrows, and said casually, "Then why don't you try him tonight?"

He Zhou's eyes lit up, "You can try whatever you want?"

Pingwei was helpless, "Don't go too far."

However, He Zhou didn't know whether he heard what he said, hugged him, and began to think about how to play tricks on his "companion" tonight.

Liang Mansion, Jingzhao sneezed.

"Did you catch a cold from practicing martial arts just now?" He silently took an extra piece of clothing and put it on, thinking that it would not affect the action tonight.
