Gong Jiu heard the slight voice coming from outside the door, but did not turn around.

After separating from Jiang Chi, he walked alone for a long time before finding a place with people.After using the money bag Jiang Chi gave to stop a carriage, after a while, the trouble came to him.

He was sitting in the carriage and did not hear any collisions, but the driver stopped the carriage and said he had accidentally knocked over a woman.

Gong Jiu wanted to see what kind of conspiracy the coachman and the woman had, so he listened to the coachman's words and helped the woman who was "knocked down" into the flower building, so that she could have a good rest.

But what surprised Gong Jiu was that he helped the woman into the room, and before he asked anything, he saw her collapsed on the bed and died.

"How did this man die?"

Jiang Chi took a few steps forward, seeing that the person lying on the bed was the girl the coachman had mentioned, he couldn't help being a little puzzled.

Hearing the sound, Gong Jiu's cold face suddenly froze, he thought it was the coachman who came.

"After I helped her into the room, she fell on the bed and died." Gong Jiu got up, looked at Jiang Chi beside him, and hurriedly explained.

After Gong Jiu finished speaking, he felt that he was obviously flustered just now, which was more likely to misunderstand Jiang Chi.After hesitating for a while, Gong Jiu pretended to be calm and asked: "Can you trust me?"

"letter."

Jiang Chi walked to the bed, looked at the man bleeding from the seven orifices, and said softly, "If I'm not mistaken, this is another trap set by Shangguan Jinhong."

The bloodshed of this person is the same as those who died on the top of the Forbidden City.It's just that he was a little puzzled, why did Shangguan Jinhong lure Gong Jiu to Hualou and make such a thing...

"Ah Jiu, how long have you been here?"

Seeing Gong Jiu approaching, Jiang Chi moved aside to make room for Gong Jiu.

"About an hour and a half."

After Gong Jiu finished speaking, she used a chopstick she picked up from the wooden table just now, and picked up the girl in red shirt's coat.

"When she died, I saw that something was wrong with her red dress. The clothes are very finely crafted, which ordinary people can't get." After finishing speaking, Gong Jiu raised the red-shirted girl's hanging hand with chopsticks, Continued: "Look at her hands again."

"A thin thread penetrated into her fingertips, controlling the already dead person."

Hearing this, Jiang Chi understood why the girl's fingertips were bleeding.

"You've been here for an hour and a half, but what else do you see?"

Jiang Chi squatted down and looked at the tiny needle holes on the girl's fingertips, feeling that the person who did this was too vicious.

"She has something in her mouth." Gong Jiu said, pointed at the red shirt girl's bulging face with her chopsticks, and continued softly: "I always feel that it's not a good thing."

Hearing this, Jiang Chi took the chopsticks from Gong Jiu's hand.When pressing the girl in red shirt's chin with chopsticks, her lips slowly opened, revealing an iron ball full of small holes.

Seeing the iron ball protruding from the mouth of the girl in red, Jiang Chi raised his hand, trying to pick the iron ball out of her mouth, but he couldn't take it out after hooking it with chopsticks for a while.Remembering to keep an eye on Zhu Ting, Jiang Chi sighed softly and decided to go straight to it.

"Don't touch!"

Seeing this, Gong Jiu grasped Jiang Chi's hand before he could touch the iron ball.

"Brother, if you take out the iron ball, I'm afraid both of us will die."

After Gong Jiu finished speaking, she drew out her sword and cut a hole in the neck of the girl in red.Around her throat hung a slender silver chain.

"The top of the chain is tied with a silver ball, and the thing tied to the lower end of the chain is probably even more unusual. I have seen some people torture prisoners who refused to confess. Because the methods used were too cruel, they were removed by the emperor's order." It’s gone. Unexpectedly, I can still see it today.”

After Gong Jiu finished speaking, she put away her sword.After he let go of Jiang Chi's hand, he would glance at Jiang Chi's reaction from time to time.

Jiang Chi straightened up, no longer looked at the red shirt girl lying on the bed, but looked around for a while.After seeing the portraits on the wall shaking slightly, Jiang Chi pretended to be puzzled and said, "As far as you are concerned, were these made by Shangguan Jinhong?"

After Jiang Chi finished speaking, he walked softly to the portrait, and there were a few extra silver needles between his fingers.

"I always feel that Shangguan Jinhong did not do these things." Seeing Jiang Chi's movements, Gong Jiu was a little puzzled.After seeing that the portrait on the wall deviated by an arc, Gong Jiu knew what Jiang Chi had discovered.

The portrait is deflected a bit, revealing a hole the size of a thumb.Through the hole, Jiang Chi saw a person's eyes staring at him in surprise.

Seeing it, Gong Jiu wanted to leave the room and go to the next door to block the peeking person.But as soon as he opened the door, he saw that there were many police officers with knives outside.

"I don't know what are you doing?" Gong Jiuchao asked the guard with a knife with a soft smile.

"Someone reported to the officer that his wife didn't come out after entering the flower building. We ordered from our superiors to come and find someone. I heard from the girl here that there is something strange in the room you are in." After the leader, Detective Li quickly finished speaking, he raised his leg and met into the room.

"Did I let you in? You want to break into other people's rooms indiscriminately. Who is your superior? Is that how you teach you to do things? What a powerful official." After Gong Jiu stretched out his hand to stop Captain Li, he said coldly laughed.

"We are just following orders, and we hope to forgive you for the inconvenience caused. Since I have offended you two, I will apologize first. However, if I speak well, can you two let me go in and investigate the case?" Catcher Li He took a quick look at Gong Jiu who was blocking his way, then at Jiang Chi who was holding a silver needle not far away, and said politely.

"Okay, Ah Jiu, let them in." Jiang Chi put away the silver needle and said calmly.

Hearing this, Catcher Li nodded to Jiang Chi and smiled.After Gong Jiu made way for him, Detective Li walked into the room quickly, and when he saw the person lying on the bed, he was shocked at first, and then angry.

"You actually killed someone." Detective Li quickly walked to the bed, seeing the man bleeding from seven orifices, his stomach felt nauseated.

"What evidence do you have to prove that Ah Jiu and I killed the man?" Jiang Chi approached a little, and smiled coldly.

"It's just the two of you in this room, isn't it you or this girl?" Detective Li said angrily.

"If there are ten people in the room, you will think that the killer is among the ten people. But if there are two people in the room, you will think that the killer is these two people. What is the reason? What the eyes see may not be true Yes." After Jiang Chi shook his head helplessly, he continued: "You only saw the girl's tragic death, but did you carefully look at why she died?"

"This……"

Detective Li quickly suppressed the anger in his heart, and leaned over to look carefully at the girl in red for a while.After seeing an iron ball in her mouth and a silver chain hanging from her throat, Detective Li quickly took a few steps back in astonishment: "Isn't this... the abolished torture?"

"These things may not be able to be dealt with in one or two hours. Besides, my brother and I went to the flower building, but we didn't bring anything. How could we make these things out of thin air." Gong Jiu lowered his eyes and flicked it lightly Yixiu continued: "Now go ask the girls in Hualou, when I came, did they see that I brought something?"

Upon hearing this, Detective Li sighed softly: "No need, but if it wasn't made by the two of you, who would it be? This iron ball is exquisitely crafted, and it seems to be made by a master."

"This torture has been abolished, why would someone make such a thing? You might as well find out who made this thing and who bought it." Jiang Chi pursed his lips lightly and said lightly.

"This man has needles in his hands." Captain Li quickly looked at the scars on the girl in red while listening to Jiang Chi's words.After seeing blood stains on her fingertips, Detective Li quickly took out his handkerchief and dipped some tea on the table.After wiping the fingers of the girl in red, he saw a tiny eye.

Just now he saw the silver needle in Jiang Chi's hand. Originally, he blamed himself for misidentifying the murderer, but now it seems that he may not have misidentified.Detective Li rolled his eyes quickly, stood up and waved to the brothers behind him, then lowered his head and said to himself, "Why does this girl have needle eyes on her fingertips..."

The brothers standing at the door saw Detective Li's quick movements, and immediately drew their swords and surrounded Jiang Chi and Gong Jiu.This was the secret signal that Detective Li set up so that they could arrest people silently. As long as he waved to the brothers and lowered his head to speak, he would attack those present.

Seeing the people around Gong Jiu approaching, Gong Jiu wanted to make a move, but before his fingertips touched the hilt of the sword, Jiang Chi grabbed his sleeve.

"Let's take a look at the people who framed us, why did they do this?" Jiang Chi whispered.

Hearing this, Gong Jiu nodded her head lightly, and said cooperatively, "What is Detective Li doing?"

"I can't make a decision right now. We'll wait until the yamen to discuss everything." Detective Li quickly finished speaking, and waved his hand, and the knife-wielding policemen surrounding them quickly pressed them away.

It took them only half a stick of incense to arrive at the yamen. Before that, Jiang Chi wanted to take advantage of the time to leave the room and go into the next room to see who was hiding inside and peeping.

But when Jiang Chi passed the door of the next room, he saw that the door was open.Looking inside, he saw a fat man with delicate hands staring at him.

"I'm the one who dragged you down today." After being locked in the cell, Gong Jiu looked at Jiang Chi who was leaning against the wall and meditating through the iron gate, and said softly.

Hearing this, Jiang Chi shook his head, "I was tricked by the coachman too, not because of you."

"That's because I was thinking too much. I thought my brother came to look for me out of kindness." Gong Jiu's eyes darkened, and said calmly.

"The coachman said that a man with a whip around his waist snatched a girl from his carriage. I didn't expect that you and I fell into the hands of the same person." Jiang Chi straightened the wood in the cell. couch, sat on it and laughed softly.

"Brother, when he heard the coachman say this, he never suspected that the person with the whip was me?" Gong Jiu was slightly taken aback, and tentatively asked.

"Well, I never doubted you." Jiang Chi said, raising his eyes to meet Gong Jiu's.

When Gong Jiu heard this, there was a smile in his eyes.But after remembering that in the attic that day, Jiang Chi did not respond to his intentions, the smile in his eyes dissipated, replaced by a bit of coldness.

"It's just that my brother never thought of me."
