Queen's Detective

Yan Sanbai's light and fluffy words overwhelmed Qiao Da.

The rest of the people also became suspicious, yes, since you are so outraged, why didn't you save that woman in advance?why not?

Everyone's suspicious gazes pierced Qiao Da's heart like sharp swords.He also asked himself day and night, why not?Could it not be your hesitation and the evil hidden in your heart that caused her not to escape the fire?

His eyes began to flicker, filled with pain.For more than ten years, he burned himself with vengeful anger, making his heart more and more cold and hard, but Yan Sanbai destroyed it with just one sentence, making him seem to have returned to the night that was burning with fire.

He saw the fire and ran out of the house in a hurry.He ran desperately, his beating heart was about to jump out of his chest, and he could smell the burning smell with every breath.

He wanted to save them, even if they rushed into the fire, but when he met Wang Dekun and the other four, how could one person fight against four of them, and when he was pushed down the mountain, he thought a lot.

He discovered Zhang Qing's secret more than a year ago. Zhang Qing thought it was hidden, but this is Daqing Mountain, how could it not be discovered.Then Joda saw the woman, a beautiful woman he had never seen before, a woman who was not at all like the country women in the village.

At first, he never thought of saving her.

He has always been alone, and has long been tempered by the world to a cold heart.He just watched quietly and coldly from a distance, and was complacent because he saw Zhang Qing's ugly and disgusting side, as if he was watching a clown's performance.But then he slowly realized that the woman was becoming more and more vivid in his heart, and he often dreamed of those... even though he was humiliated and tortured, his eyes were still clear, bright and uncompromising.

As the days passed, Qiao Dao became more and more unforgettable, so he finally ended his status as a bystander and met the woman while Zhang Qing was away.

He showed kindness to her, comforted her clumsily, and promised to rescue her, but the woman didn't realize at all that the man who brought her hope in despair had watched her suffering with cold eyes.

However, Qiao Da did not fulfill his promise. He had various reasons for procrastination. He was afraid that once the woman was rescued, she would leave. How could she still stay in this place that disgusted her so much.

After a while, the woman found out that she was pregnant.That was Zhang Qing's child. Zhang Qing was extremely excited and cared for the woman so much that it was not easy for him to run away.As her belly grew bigger day by day, the woman gradually developed feelings for this evil creature in her belly. From the original disgust to pity, her mother's nature was slowly aroused.

She decided to give birth to this child, and begged Qiao Da, it doesn't matter if she can't save her, but she must take the child away, far away from his father's clutches.

Qiao Da agreed, and the woman gave birth to a baby boy. In order to make the baby disappear in front of Zhang Qing, after Qiao Da took him away, the woman began to pretend to be crazy, and told Zhang Qing that the beast on the mountain took the baby away. .

Zhang Qing was so angry that he searched all over the mountains and plains for his children, and finally found some rags and leftover flesh and blood of beasts somewhere—of course, it was deliberately arranged by Qiao Da.

No matter how unbelievable it was, Zhang Qing finally accepted this reality, and at this moment, the three of Wang Dekun finally appeared on the stage.

After you sing, I will appear on the stage. The woman gradually loses her expression as she watches the men come and go.

Day after day of waiting, she was desperate.

"That's not it! I want to save her... I originally planned to go tomorrow, I killed Zhang Qing and took her and the child away...Really, I originally planned to go tomorrow, tomorrow..."

"But that tomorrow will never come." Yan Sanbai interrupted him, tomorrow after tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows, but the tomorrow that belongs to that woman is already dead.

Yan Sanbai didn't want to listen anymore, and everyone present didn't want to listen anymore. The regret that can never be eliminated is the most tormenting thing in the world.

Cai Zhijing looked at the painful Qiao Da, his face became paler and paler.Everything is false, the anger, hatred, and infinite yearning for his mother in his heart seem ridiculous now.He is like a fool, he has been fooled and he doesn't know it.

His hands trembled slightly, and the blood that had been stained on them made him feel uneasy, but he soon thought of a new question, suddenly raised his head, stared at Qiao Da in disbelief, and asked repeatedly like crazy, "Is Fu Isn’t Sheng right?! That woman’s real son is Fu Sheng, right?! Say it!”

However, Qiao Da didn't look at Cai Zhijing again, his dead eyes fell on Cai County Magistrate's face, as if to say - you indulged the murderer back then, look, now your son has also become a murderer.

Cai Zhijing was stimulated by his eyes, and rushed to beat him like crazy, asking him why he lied to him.Qiao Da did not avoid it, but it was County Magistrate Cai who hugged his son desperately, "Zhijing! Zhijing, don't do this, it's all dad's fault, it's dad's fault!"

"Father..." Cai Zhijing looked at his father in dismay, and finally broke down in tears, feeling remorseful.

"Take them down." Guan Qingci didn't want to watch any more, so he asked Zhang Yan to take them down.The three of them didn't struggle, but Qiao Da suddenly paused when he turned around, and then knelt down straight to Yan Sanbai and kowtowed, "My lord, this matter has nothing to do with Fu Sheng, please be careful, my lord." Don't blame him! Ah Jiu kowtows to you, my lord!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed three times in succession, his forehead blushing on the hard ground.Yan Sanbai hurriedly stopped him, "Fusheng was innocent in the first place."

Hearing this, Qiao Dacai showed a sincere smile and let the people of Dali Temple take him away.

Ling Ding was still puzzled, and said, "Hero Yan, how did you find out that Cai Zhijing was the murderer? He has been with us these days, and he seems to be very honest."

The rest of the people also looked over curiously. If it is reasonable to suspect Ah Jiu, after all, he is quite suspicious, but what happened to Cai Zhijing?

Yan Sanbai said: "It's because he's been with us all the time that it's suspicious. Lord Guan's box was stolen, and Li Mao was poisoned to death. They all happened in this old house. The most likely ones were not the Cai Zhijing who is in charge of meals and living?"

Hearing what Yan Sanbai said, everyone immediately understood.This Cai Zhijing has been dangling under their noses, but it has become the biggest blind spot, and because his father is the reporter, no one doubts him.

Yan Sanbai said again: "Magistrate Cai probably didn't know that Cai Zhijing was involved in it at the beginning, so he resolutely reported it to the officials, made this matter worse and worse, and finally alarmed Chang'an, so he can't be the murderer. When I arrived here, I found that County Magistrate Cai was not keen on solving the case. This was different from his attitude of reporting to the officials at the beginning. Strange.

But this is not what really made me doubt Cai Zhijing, alone, do you still remember the scene when we first entered the village and met Fusheng? "

"Remember, your horse was startled suddenly, so it kicked over the clay pot of Fu Sheng." Ling Ding said.

"Yes, there was a pot of grass in the clay pot, and the horse smelled it and was frightened. The pot broke, and the medicine was scattered all over the floor, and then a dog passed there."

"Ah, Fusheng's dog! It suddenly started to twitch afterwards, could it be... because it licked that pile of herbs?"

"Yes." Yan Sanbai specifically asked the old doctor who performed Li Mao's autopsy, and Fusheng prescribed Jieyang grass in the medicine, "The signs of that dog's convulsions are the same as those of Jieyang grass poisoning, but the toxicity is overwhelmed by others. The medicinal herb was neutralized, so it survived by chance, otherwise it would not have come into contact with the poisonous weed that only grows on the Daqing Mountain. However, Jieyang grass has been discontinued many years ago, and very few people know about it. Li Mao's murderer must have heard of this herbal medicine somewhere, the most likely is that he has been using Jieyang grass for Fusheng."

There is no need for Yan Sanbai to elaborate, Ling Ding and the others understand that Cai Zhijing and Ling Ding are friends, and there is nothing wrong with knowing Jieyangcao.One doubt is nothing, but the addition of doubts and doubts makes Cai Zhijing quite suspicious.

"As for Ah Jiu, he is a carpenter, and all the coffins in the village are made by him. How the black box escaped from the coffin in the first place, I think no one has figured it out yet, but if Ah Jiu, a carpenter, starts It is reasonable to make some manipulations on the coffin, such as opening a secret door at the bottom, and quietly take out the box while it is being transported."

Saying that, Yan Sanbai thought of something again, touched his nose, "There are also rabbits. All the rabbits that Liu Fu and his companions hunted on the mountain were taken away, and they happened to be at Fusheng's house the next day. Besides being lonely, he also has to take care of Ah Jiu who is supporting Sheng, and there is no one in Daqing Township who insists on those rabbits. As for the companion, Cai Zhijing, who is also in the school, is also suspicious?"

The fragmentary clues were connected one by one, and after listening to it like this, everyone felt that the matter was so simple.But Yan Sanbai did it, but they couldn't, so they admired him even more.

The case was solved, and Guan Qingci, who has always acted vigorously and vigorously, decided to pack up his things and go to the county government immediately, close the case immediately, and leave for Chang'an tomorrow.Naturally, there was no need for the majestic Dali Temple Shaoqing to pack his things. He walked out of the Cai family's old house silently, walked slowly through the stone road in the village, and finally found Yan Sanbai who was alone beside the big stone at the entrance of the village.

Seeing that Li Yan was not there, Guan Qingci walked up to stand beside him and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Wait for Fusheng to go down the mountain." Yan Sanbai knew that Guan Qingci had something on his mind with just one glance, so he asked, "Master Guan, is there something for me?"

"I heard that you have a nickname in Jianghu called Bai Xiaosheng. I have something to ask you. I wonder if you can clear up my doubts."

Hearing the name Bai Xiaosheng again, Yan Sanbai rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "But it's okay to say."

With the breeze blowing gently, Guan Qingci's voice was a little low, "Did you know about the tragedy at Honghe Ridge in the northwest of Yanjing in the last years of the previous dynasty?"

Hearing this, Yan Sanbai's hands hanging in the wide sleeves trembled uncontrollably, "The three villages of Hongheling have hundreds of lives, of course I know, why did Lord Guan mention this all of a sudden?"

"I want to know who did it."

"This is an unsolved case. Hongheling was massacred overnight. No one saw who the murderer was. By the time it was discovered, Hongheling was already bleeding like a river. So much time has passed, why do you suddenly want to investigate this case?"

"Because I am from Hongheling, the only survivor of that massacre."

Yan Sanbai was slightly taken aback by Guan Qingci's words, he really didn't expect Guan Qingci to have such an origin.He thought of something for a moment, and the surprise in his eyes grew stronger.

Guan Qingci didn't care, and continued: "I was young and didn't know what happened outside, but I can be sure of one thing, someone must know what happened that night, at least the person who rescued me Must know."

Yan Sanbai was silent, he slowly looked away, looked at the green hills not far away, and felt a bit sour in his eyes, "Do you still remember who the person who saved you was?"

"His name is Luo Sha, the former commander of the Shadow Guards, the sharpest knife in King Li's hands during his lifetime."

Guan Qingci's tone was slow and firm, but Yan Sanbai's fingertips began to feel slightly cold.

Luo Sha, the one he told Lang Huan Pavilion was dead.

And King Li is Li Yan's father.
