The Queen's Secret

"To be honest, my lord, I am here this time to ask you to help me."

Qi Yuxin smiled slightly, looking at the magistrate in front of him, this smile seemed much gentler.

"Sir, please speak."

The local official was still very enthusiastic, with a smile on his face, as if he was afraid that Qi Yu would regret it.

"Actually, we are investigating the whereabouts of Bandit Wang Yang. According to intelligence, he is near Shijiazhuang. I am ashamed to say that I lost the portrait of Bandit Wang Yang along the way, so I didn't dare to tell you about it at first. "

Qi Yuxin didn't need drafting when telling a lie. Meng Gan who was beside him pursed his lips tightly and remained silent, but his eyes were very focused, as if he was deeply afraid that he would reveal his truth.

"This is very bad, my lord, please tell me, what help do you need?"

Even though the local pavilion said so, Qi Yu was obviously relieved to see him, obviously he began to believe his words.

"I was injured a little bit along the way, and there were only two people with Meng Tusi. We really don't have enough manpower. I don't know if your lord can send some more people to help us go down to the nearby hills to find this Wang Yang bandit?"

After Qi Yu finished speaking, the magistrate nodded and said, "Of course it is possible, but my lord, do you still remember the appearance of that Wang Yang bandit?"

"I remember."

Qi Yuxin began to describe the appearance of Wang Yang's bandit, and he spoke so eloquently that he seemed to be a real person. The magistrate didn't know that Qi Yu was full of evil thoughts, so he naturally believed it, and Qi Yuxin took the initiative to follow He also saved a lot of trouble by confessing what case he was working on.

"This matter is on the official's shoulders."

The magistrate patted his chest and agreed, and Qi Yu thanked him with a smile: "Then I will thank you sir. After returning to Beijing, I will never forget your kindness."

The most important thing between officials is profit. Hearing that Qi Yuxin will not forget his kindness after returning to Beijing, the local official knew that this matter was profitable, and hurriedly said: "Your official will do everything I can to help. grown ups."

Qi Yu smiled with satisfaction, and continued: "We are still injured, we will rest in the city for a while, we will be tired."

"My lords, please rest."

The magistrate bowed his hands, Qi Yuxin bowed to Meng Gan in return, and then left the yamen, Meng Gan couldn't help laughing after leaving the yamen.

"Sister Yuxin, you are amazing."

"Don't dare."

Qi Yuxin didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and the local officials didn't look too smart when they thought about it.

"Go back to the inn first."

Since you are 'injured', you should act more like you are injured.

Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan went back to the inn to have a leisurely meal first, and through the door of the inn, they could still see the arresters running out of the city in a hurry.

"Sister Yuxin, how long do you have to wait?"

Meng Gan asked, Qi Yu took a sip of tea and said, "No hurry, just wait a moment."

Then he leisurely picked up a piece of green vegetable and ate it gracefully. Seeing that Qi Yu was not in a hurry, Meng Gan was not in a hurry, and immediately started eating.

After a moment passed, Qi Yu looked around intently, and said with a smile, "Let's go!"

Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan came to Luo Zhai, and heard along the way that after Luo Hai died, his younger brother Luo Shan also died half a year ago, and now Luo Yan, the cousin of the Luo family brothers, is in charge.

After letting the family member pass the pass, they went in. A man was waiting for the two of them in the hall. The strange thing was that this man was wearing a mask, so he couldn't see his true face.

"Hello, my lords."

This person does not have the feeling of a quack, but is polite and polite, like a scholar.

"Hello, Mr. Luo."

Qi Yuxin also said hello. The predecessor of the Luo family was Yanxiao, and later they reached an agreement with the government and became a legitimate salt merchant. However, this was only five years ago. I can't change my mouth.

Na Luoyan glanced at Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan, and said with a smile, "I don't know why you two are here?"

Luo Yan also didn't want to be too polite, and went straight to the point, which was exactly what Qi Yu wanted, and she didn't want to stay too long, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the magistrate.

"Investigate the death of your brother Luo Hai."

As soon as these words came out, Luo Yan didn't seem to respond, and said after a while: "Are you from the capital?"

Luo Yan didn't seem to believe it. Although Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan wore flying fish robes, Luo Yan was still very alert.

"Yes, my surname is Qi, and he is my colleague, surnamed Meng."

After Qi Yuxin finished speaking, Luo Yan was shocked, and said, "My surname is Qi? But Qi Yuxin?"

"Yes."

Na Luo Yan clenched his fists tightly, seemed a little nervous, and hurriedly said, "What evidence do you have?"

Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan glanced at each other, and then took out a search warrant, which clearly stated the arrest officer who applied for the search warrant, the arrest officer involved in the investigation, and the case under investigation, and Qi Yuxin's name was clearly on it.

"The hero who solved the case of General Zhenbei... so it was you..."

After Luo Yan looked at it, he finally showed a smile. He reached out and removed the mask, only to reveal a face with several scars, which was a bit ferocious.

"you…"

Qi Yuxin didn't react for a moment, not knowing what Luo Yan meant.

"I have heard about your reputation for a long time, and I think you are a trustworthy person. My elder brother's grievances, and finally have a chance to get revenge..."

Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan remained silent, waiting for Luo Yan to continue, Luo Yan put on the mask again, and continued: "I am Luo Shan, Luo Hai's younger brother."

As soon as these words came out, both Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan were in an uproar. Isn't Luo Shan already dead?

Seeing the surprised expressions of the two, Luo Shan smiled wryly and said, "You two must have thought that I was dead, right?"

Qi Yuxin and Menggan didn't respond, after all, it would be impolite to respond, but their expressions had already told Luo Shan the answer.

"A year and a half ago, a man in black asked me to withdraw all my elder brother's money from Tongle Bank, once every six months. As long as he did, he would let the Luo family go."

Luo Shan began to talk, she knew that Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan came to ask about this matter.

"It's just that half a year ago, when all deposits were withdrawn, the man in black wanted to kill me and stabbed me in the heart..."

Luo Shan pointed to his left chest, and continued: "Fortunately, I was born with a deviated heart, so I didn't die, but for the sake of the Luo family, I asked the Luo family to hold a funeral for me, and then pretended to be Luo Yan, changing Lost all character and dress, and even ruined appearance, this escaped a catastrophe..."

Qi Yu listened intently, and said, "Tell me more about the man in black."

"The man in black has been in contact with my eldest brother before. I don't know him very well. I just know that he seems to have some political background, and his martial arts are very high. Even I was taken down within five moves."

official?Qi Yu frowned, there were indeed many hidden plots in this case, and because Luo Shan knew that the man in black had a political background, he was so wary of himself and Meng Gan, fearing that it was someone he sent.

But martial arts are so high... It's not like the group of officials who can only read...

"My elder brother's death must have something to do with him. That day my elder brother went out to meet this person with a few ledgers, and... never came back. One night, thieves broke into Luo's house, and my elder brother's study was destroyed. It's messed up, I think...that man in black did something good, maybe the eldest brother knew something terrible, so he..."

Qi Yu knew in his heart that all those key evidences had been completely wiped out, so there must have been a lot of manipulations done secretly. Now that he thought about it, they had always been very secretive and had forgotten the existence of Tongle Bank.

"Do you know what he wants money for?"

After hearing this, Luo Shan shook his head and said, "I don't know..."

"Does that man smell like a woman's rouge?"

Qi Yu continued to ask. When Luo Shan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Yes! How do you know, my lord?"

"I just got some clues here. Apart from these, do you know anything about the man in black?"

Luo Shan shook his head at this moment, expressing that he no longer knew.

"Okay, thank you."

Qi Yu didn't dare to stay longer, and after saying goodbye to Luo Shan, he went back to the inn with Meng Gan, but the people from the yamen seemed to have not returned to Shijiazhuang.

"Sister Yuxin, the man in black must be the serial killer!"

After hearing so much, Meng Gan made a bold guess.

"It should be..."

Qi Yu nodded heartily, and did not deny Meng Gan's guess. He turned to look at Meng Gan, sipped his tea, and said, "Meng Gan, do you know why the deceased's chest and back were smeared with blood?"

"why?"

Meng Gan leaned forward and looked at Qi Yuxin curiously, eager to know the answer.

"Do you remember that the man in black smelled like a woman's rouge?"

"Remember... wait, Sister Yuxin, you mean that the man in black used the smell of blood to cover up his smell?"

"I suppose so."

It is the most ideal posture to cut the opponent's throat without anyone noticing, strangle him from behind, and then strike, so the chest and back will be stained with rouge...

In order to get rid of the smell of rouge, the murderer would smear the chest and back of the deceased with blood...

"This murderer is really cautious!"

Meng Gan also had to say that the murderer had thought of all this when killing people. It must be...it must not be the first time he did such a thing, right?

"No, Skynet will be restored, and it will always be secret."

Qi Yuxin pointed to the notebook on the table, which was the record copied from Tongle Bank. Since the man in black wanted to destroy the account book, the matter must be related to money, so the record of Tongle Bank became key evidence.

"Then let's check it out!"

Meng Gan couldn't stop his enthusiasm, so he opened the book and started to look it up. Qi Yu smiled heartily, and followed Meng Gan to look it up.

The two climbed until dusk, and Qi Yuxin raised his head from his notebook and said, "Let's go to the yamen!"

"what?"

"Acting has to be a full set, isn't it?"

Qi Yuxin showed that mischievous expression again, Meng Gan finally understood, Lin Qingxuan always said that Qi Yuxin became a little more popular after returning from Zixia Villa, so this is the so-called popularity...

No longer out of reach.
