Suspect in Jinling

Chapter 22 Military Preparations

Three days later, when the sun was setting, Kuang Jian stepped into the Mingfo Building stepping on the afterglow.

It was built on the Qinhuai River, close to Dongshuiguan. It is one of the sixteenth floors in the early Ming Dynasty. The interior decoration of the building is quite Zen-like, with rockery, stone seats, Guanyin Buddha, flowers and birds, floating world, and fine rattan flowers. Push open the quaint compartments, and inside the house are painted flowing dancing Bodhisattvas, colorful and passionate.

"sorry to keep you waiting."

The private room that Hu Ye chose was the most elegant room in the second floor of Linhe, which is suitable for banquets and rest. Kuang Jian took off his coat and sat opposite Hu Ye.He came a bit late, Hu Ye had already ordered the dishes, and in the middle of the low table were two hot pots of guinea fowl and clams and crucian carp, besides which there were two meat and two vegetables.Hu Ye was enthusiastic, and waved his hand, "Brother Kuang, take a look, what else do you want to eat?"

Kuang Jian glanced at the table, called the waiter, and took out a silver coin from his waist.

"Hey!" Hu Ye immediately stopped loudly, "Brother, you are not giving me face, I invite you!"

Kuang Jian backed away for a moment, and said to the waiter as usual: "Split the bill." The money was buckled on the table and made a clear sound, and Kuang Jian turned his eyes back: "You can't let Tong Hu pay the bill."

He has a clean and self-contained nobleness that is rare in the public family. Before Hu Ye came, he also inquired about Xiao Kuang's style of arresting the head. He doesn't even reward face. The small vendor at the gate of Yingtianfu couldn't even invite him to eat a bowl of his own wontons, let alone Hu Ye, a half-stranger who came here for a reason and said he wanted to treat him to dinner. Kuang Jian can go this trip, which is already a gift for him. Save face.

"What does President Hu want to talk to me about?"

Kuang Jian's back was straight, and she was dressed neatly and neatly in black, straight to the point.

Seeing this, Hu Ye took out the piece of black cloth and a hidden weapon from his pocket, "Captain Kuang, we smart people don't talk in secret, you know these two things, right?"

Kuang Jian glanced down, but there was no special expression on his face: "What is this?"

Hu Ye forced him to dinner three days ago, and he agreed to come and talk, that's all, and he never showed any flaws from the beginning to the end.

Seeing him like this, Hu Ye was not annoyed at all. He twitched his bushy beard and said with a smile: "This is a long story, brother, you have to listen to me slowly. This month, that is, on the night of March [-]th, you The murderer was defrauded for the Pang Mansion. This case was done beautifully. It has been heard far and wide. There is nothing to say. What I want to say is that after that night, that is, about an hour after you left, the study of the Pang Mansion was burglarized again. Chu Ji chased him along the secret path, but he was killed instead." Hu Ye knocked on the dining table, leaving a clear "clang bang" sound: "This piece of black cloth and this hidden weapon are the ones left by the burglar. thing."

Kuang Jian was noncommittal and took a sip of wine.

Hu Ye laughed, and then said: "This matter is strange to say, but based on my unreliable intuition, I have a bold guess."

Kuang Jian made a gesture of invitation: "Commander Hu, please speak."

Hu Ye: "I heard that brother Kuang loves cleanliness by nature, and he often chews vanilla." Hu Ye looked at the young man in front of him, who was as young as a teenager, and shook the evidence: "This black cloth has no smell now. Yes, but bro, when I got it for the first time, it still smelled of cloves. I don’t know the details of the Pang Mansion case, but I think it’s very likely that there was something left unscathed after the diabolical slaves were punished that day. Brother Kuang Ye Xing Pang Mansion visited the scene again, and accidentally dropped this piece of black cloth—brother, is this thing yours?"

Kuang Jian raised his eyebrows, showing just the right amount of surprise, "Commander Hu wants to say that I sneaked into Pang Mansion at night and killed Chu Qianhu?"

Soon, the surprise turned into calmness, and he said calmly: "This guess is too ridiculous."

Hu Ye laughed immediately, "Hey hey hey! Brother, I have already said that this is all my wishful thinking. You are an expert at investigating cases and have a sharp eye for things. Brother, I am just a rough person. If you guess offend me Now, don't take offense!"

Kuang Jian raised the corners of her mouth expressionlessly, "Go on."

Hu Ye: "I still guess that it was not one person who entered Pang Mansion that day, but two people, one is the owner of this black cloth, which is you, and the other is the owner of this hidden weapon—" Hu Ye's gaze Sophisticated like a falcon, every thread seems to be able to scratch the flesh of a person, "The two of you met by chance, and fought against each other on a narrow road. The piece of cloth was scratched when it fell on the ground, but this hidden weapon was nailed to the cash drawer in the Pang Mansion."

Kuang Jian gave an incomprehensible "huh" to signal him to continue, and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the mushrooms in a plate of meat dishes.

Hu Ye stopped laughing, changed the subject, and said in a normal manner, "To be honest, bro, I'm not interested in the owner of this mask, but in the owner of this hidden weapon."

"Oh?" Kuang Jian looked up, expressing due curiosity: "Is there any difference between this hidden weapon?"

"My brother only asked the point."

Hu Ye raised his hand heavily, and the hidden weapon sank three inches into the table with a "snatching" sound, "Five dozen knives in the shape of an iron lotus, these are the things of the Taiping sect leader 'Ghost Seeing Sorrow'."

Kuang Jian's pupils were wide open, and the tip of the black silver chopsticks, who was about to pick up food, slammed into the air——

"Brother, suppose, suppose."

Hu Ye had a serious face, and he said hypotheses without the slightest meaning of hypotheses. His upper body was leaning close, and his dark eyes were burning with fire. Man, brother, I don’t care what you are going to do when you go back that night, whether you were chased by the Pang Mansion and forced to join forces with him, and I don’t care how Chu Ji died, these brothers don’t care anymore I just want to tell you that the person you met was a "Ghost Seeing Sorrow" from the Taiping Sect. The two were soldiers, and Chu Ji was the fifth person he killed. The first one he killed was my younger brother, in the Huai'an mansion! The day before the attack, he posted a ghost painting talisman, and the next night he stabbed my younger brother. They chopped it into a meat paste, cut off his hands, feet, nose, and ears, dragged out his heart, liver, liver, and spleen, and hung them on the couch to dry!"

With a "bang", Hu Ye angrily punched the table!

Hearing the pots, bowls, chopsticks, cups, and dishes full of delicacies, he was shocked!The chopsticks in Kuang Jian's hands were heavy, even though he tried his best to restrain himself, the muscles of his cheeks still trembled uncontrollably!

Hu Ye sternly said: "I will not let this man go. I will treat him back as he treats my brother. I will treat him back in the same way. I will pick his nose, cut off his feet, disembowel him, and behead him. His heart, liver and lungs were taken out, boiled and fed to the dogs, and his head was thrown into the cesspit to allow ants and maggots to crawl in and out of his face! I swear, I will live every day if I can’t kill this beast , I will never give up in this life!"

Hu Ye pointed to the sky and swore to the sun, the voice was full of grief, anger and anger.

It was getting dark, but Jinling was lit up, and clusters of lights were lit up one after another, singing and dancing outside, with waves of laughter and laughter, but it was as if everything was frozen here, Kuang Jian paused, pressing his heart The rage that kept accumulating continuously pressed down on his ten fingers, making a crackling sound.

After a long time, he looked serious, raised his head and asked, "Bing Bei Dao doesn't care about the Taiping Sect, how are you going to find him?"

Hu Ye leaned on Yinji, and sneered with a "huh": "'Ghost Jianchou' has been wanted for more than half a year, but the Jinling Township Secretary can't even touch a piece of his clothes, the higher-ups are getting impatient, What's more, now that Pang and Chu are dead, Lu and Jiang on the top are veritable idiots, and the higher-ups dare not put everything on them."

His tone seemed to know a lot of inside information, and Kuang Jian's brows moved slightly: "Above? Which one?"

Hu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, changed his mood, and returned to his rough and cynical look: "That's why I came to you today. There is a big man above, who knows that you are good at investigating cases, and intends to let you be with me."

Outside the window, you can hear the sound of running water, the sound of shaking, the singer singing softly, and the willows swaying.

Kuang Jian raised his eyes slightly: "Your big shot wants to recruit me?"

This was beyond Kuang Jian's expectation. He didn't expect that the reason Hu Ye was looking for was this.

Hu Ye nodded: "That's what it means. You have been in contact with Gui Jianshou. Xiao Kuang is a keen and alert headhunter. He must have noticed some clues. If you can join in, there must be great hope for catching 'Gui Jianshou'. The Taiping Sect has many evils." , Catching its leader is a great achievement, my brother knows that you are not interested in fame and fortune, but if this matter can be done well, the benefits will naturally be indispensable to you, you can think about it slowly, and give me an answer in five days."

Kuang Jian nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I will seriously consider it." After saying that, she pushed the case and got up, "I won't eat, I don't have much appetite, Commander Hu, please go ahead."

Hu Ye didn't expect that his good-looking man was drinking and lusting beside him, so he was really unmoved, so he stretched out his arms and clasped his wrist, pointing out: "Brother, don't, you don't have to eat this called Folou rice, don't girls?" order?"

This place is not a serious restaurant, it is called Buddha Tower, one of the sixteenth floors in the early Ming Dynasty, it is called a restaurant, and it is actually a trick restaurant. During this period, young girls make up new clothes and attract tourists from all over the world. How many foreigners come to Jinling? In order to experience the style here.

After all, Hu Ye rang the bell to call people, and with just a few snaps of his fingers, the door painted with dancing fairies was pushed open from the outside, and a girl with a glazed appearance came in, wearing a white shirt and plain skirt, kneeling on her knees.

Kuang Jian has never seen such a slender girl. She is thin, breathing very lightly, quiet, obedient, and her face is almost transparent. Her hair was heavy in a bun, covered with hairpins and pearls, and it seemed like a Japanese fall could crush her slender neck. She came slowly on the ground, exuding a cold and dead air, like a pale ghost born from a cluster of flowers.

Hu Ye stretched out his hand to tug at her, one arm almost reached her waist, he embraced her like he was tugging some kind of cat or dog, lifted her chin, and showed Kuang Jian that cheek .Kuang Jian raised her eyebrows and was amazed for a moment: Although this girl is small and frail, her appearance is really stunning. The Qinhuai River is full of beautiful women all over the world, and the sixteenth floor is even the best among the best. No hesitation in ranking it first.

"Her name is Liuli'er." Hu Ye smiled triumphantly, as if this girl with clear cheeks and blurred eyes was his confinement, and casually invited, "Brother, let's go together?"

Kuang Jian didn't understand this habit, she frowned, and thanked Bumin: "I'll forget it, I'm not a womanizer."

Hu Ye was startled, not knowing where he was thinking, and suddenly smiled with an unclear meaning, "That's because the elder brother was rude, he was rude."

Kuang Jian was in a daze. Seeing this, she stopped talking, lifted her clothes and left, and Hu Ye didn't hold back behind her. She raised her hand and hugged the girl horizontally, and walked around the screen embroidered with the dancing sky Bodhisattva behind her.

The girl's jewels slipped from the heavy bun, and hit the mat with a clatter, splashing out the jewels all over the floor. Kuang Jian turned his back to them, his throat moved slightly, and at a second thought, he almost wanted to ask Hu Ye to change. prostitute.Hu Ye was five big and three thick, as strong as a house. This Liu Lier was thin and small, but he swallowed hard when the words came to his mouth.

This girl from Qinhuai lives as a companion, if she loses a benefactor today, if she doesn't have a full house tomorrow, she will go hungry.He shouldn't have interfered.

There was a soft sound of "knocking", and the ancient brown door painted with fine vines of flowers and birds was closed outside. Kuang Jian leaned against the door to cover up the strange noises gradually rising in the room. His mind was chaotic like rain knocking on the window, and for a while Thinking of the hidden weapon that was almost scratched, and thinking of the tragic case of the Huai'an Mansion for a moment, my heart was in a mess, as if it was on fire.

At this time, the private room next door was suddenly pushed away, and a blue-purple lake silk leaned against the doorframe calmly: "Kuang catcher."

Kuang Jian was startled, and immediately turned her head to look, only to see that Sha Xiangyue Shi Shiran was next door, and greeted him calmly.
