Suspect in Jinling

The house leak happened to be raining overnight, the murder case has not yet been settled, and now there is another kidnapping case.

In the middle of the auditorium, four or five people, both men and women, were waiting anxiously. Kuang Jian's eyes were fixed, and he recognized the leader as Xie Bin, the boss of Folou. He was only six feet tall, but his limbs were stocky and his bearing was extraordinary. According to Kuang Jian's knowledge, the fifth floor of the [-]th floor of Qinhuai is under the management and operation of this person, and has a close relationship with the Jinling Ministry of Rites.Kuang Jian did not expect that when Liu Lier disappeared, someone like Labor would report the case himself.

"Captain Xiao Kuang, this must have been premeditated."

Boss Xie bowed his hands and did not exchange many greetings. He quickly followed Kuang Jian and sat down on the bench: "Liu Lier is the number one of my name, Folou. There was a murder case and he disappeared in a blink of an eye. Someone must have hijacked her." She." Xie Bin slammed his fist on the table, and said in an urgent tone, "Captain Xiao Kuang, this woman's household registration is filed in the Ministry of Rites, and I, Xie, can't afford to lose it. You have to work harder and find it for Xie! "

The boss came and asked Folou to be in charge tonight, Liu Lier taught Aunt Xi and others naturally followed, Xie Bin waved his hand vigorously, and everyone immediately explained the ins and outs to Kuang Jian.

The goatee trembled rapidly under the principal's chin: "Catcher Kuang, Ying Tianfu's rules are small enough to understand, catcher, you said to report to the officials, and we went immediately. The venue was not damaged at all before the officials came. When the corpse was carried away, the little girl knew that she must ask Miss Liuli for a confession, so she called for someone to go to the first floor to ask for it, but she didn't expect to open the door and found that the person was gone... sure. It was kidnapped, not where did the girl go , the things in her house are scattered all over the place, obviously the thieves took her away while she was resting!"

Qin Gu: "My old body is Liuli's teacher, Qin Gu, and I have been here tonight. It's a pity for the girl. Hu Junye provoked a desperate murderer, and that man chose such a place to assassinate. It fell on her covered in blood... Hey, people rushed in later, and the old man helped the girl to go downstairs to his room to calm down. The girl washed and changed clothes in the room by herself, while the old man waited outside the house. The old man guessed that the girl might have seen the appearance of the murderer, and the murderer thought of coming back to hijack him after running away halfway, so as not to let the girl leak his news! Sin... Sin!"

Kuang Jian was not as eloquent as Aunt Qin. After listening to it, she asked about the situation in the glazed house. Perhaps it was because she was too familiar with it. Aunt Qin couldn't get to the point after talking for a long time. Come on, tidy up the table full of melon seeds, see Qian Jin wandering outside in an orderly manner, and go straight over: "What's the situation with Liulier's room?"

Qian Jin had been prepared for a long time, and immediately reported: "My subordinates have seen it. Liu Lier's house is along He Street, in the innermost room on the first floor of Mingfolou. The room is twenty steps square, and there is a screen in the middle. When we entered Calligraphy and paintings, pillows and quilts, and blood-stained clothes just changed are scattered on the ground in the inner room. There are not many things in the outer room. In addition to the normal jewelry, flowers and plants, there are casserole medicine pots on the table. The room is full of bitterness, and the door is open. Facing the funnel attached to the copper pot...Brother Cheng took the corpse one step ahead, and I accompanied Ming Folou to search around before confirming that the person was really gone, so I brought them to report the crime."

This is the advantage of Qian Jin. He is inexperienced and often fails to grasp the key points, but he never forgets what he has seen. He can basically retell the scene intact, and his heart is more careful than ordinary guards.

Kuang Jian wanted to praise "very good", but Qian Jin suddenly changed the subject: "It is true that it is not a murderer, the real murderer probably jumped out of the window at that time and did not run away in a hurry, but hid somewhere. After the commotion, he sneaked into Liulier's room and knocked people unconscious and took him away."

Qian Jin's guess bluntly stated that the two cases were premeditated, which is much more reliable than Qin Gu's statement.

But Kuang Jian glanced at Qian Jin with dissatisfaction, thinking what happened to this gray rabbit?Does he need to speak good words for Sha Xiangyue?

"We'll talk about that later."

Kuang Jian patted his hat: "Flying Bird sent a message to ask Brother Cheng and the others to strictly check for tourists traveling with a woman at the east entrance of the Qinhuai River. The woman is about six feet three or four in height with pale complexion. In the state of being hijacked, all those who have no ID or suspicious identity documents will be detained, sent to Qinhuai shop soldiers to guard, block all lanes from Wuding Bridge to Chang'an Street, and all carriages will be stopped for inspection regardless of the color of the bridle. Ask those who are eager to leave the town to especially check, and also, send someone to the Jinxi Tea Restaurant in Gaozuo Temple, and ask them to bring back the sampan that delivered food today—remember?”

Kuang Jian's thoughtful thinking, fast speech and fast decision-making are equally astonishing.

Qian Jin replied decisively: "Remember it!"

Kuang Jian patted him on the back briefly: "Go!"

Before the night was over, just half an hour after Hu Ye was assassinated, Qian Jin quickly wrote the note, and the mechanism birds flew out through the night sky one by one.

It took Cheng Dabin two cups of tea to lead his people out, presumably he had already arrived at the standby point, and he could act immediately as soon as he received an order from the rear.

Qian Jin was poached into Yingtian Mansion by Kuang Jian a few months ago, and has been arranged to read the case files in the torture room. He didn't understand Kuang Jian's intention of poaching him at that time. Sitting alone in the town, even looking for needlepoints in the sea, they can sift them out, but in the first month of the new year, the yamen was understaffed, and he was driven to the shelves. The fourth master forced him to analyze the case. At that time, his eyes were darkened, and he said I couldn't understand the news that was quickly integrated at all, and I didn't even understand how the news was collected.

Kuang Tou listened to it later and didn't say anything. Since the Pang Mansion case happened in March, he took him around the scene and asked him to take notes. In the next month or so, as long as there was a suitable opportunity, the guards would take him with him. He walked around, and now that he came back from the front line, and then went to the back, he suddenly understood what Si Ye said: a person on the front line can adapt to changes at a moment's notice, but he can't see the whole picture of things, and is easily confused by the things in front of him. The key point is missed, so the strategizing of the people behind becomes particularly important at this time.

But the rear is not so easy to stay. When the people in the rear get the news, they must use the fastest speed to extract the most valuable information and give the most accurate judgment.These people don't use knives and sticks, but they must see all directions and listen to all directions, otherwise a little error will affect the frontline operations, and wrong judgments will directly lead to a far-fetched ending.

In order to save time, Kuang Jian didn't ask Aunt Xi to talk like a goddess, but he came to ask questions.

"Liulier was shocked, why didn't you go into the house with her?"

"It's sad to say," said Aunt Qin with a good-tempered tone: "Although the old man regards Liuli as his own daughter, Liuli is not close to me. She said she wanted to be alone for a while, so I can only stay outside .”

"Are you sure you didn't hear any noise outside the door?"

"No." That Qin Gu said firmly: "I guess she must have been knocked out when she just lay down. Liuli is a slender girl with only a little thick arms. How loud it will be."

Kuang Jian raised her eyebrows and didn't say anything, she thought to herself that a girl just witnessed a murder, who can fall asleep all of a sudden?Her calligraphy, paintings and quilts were scattered all over the place, how could she not make any noise?

Tonight, the Folou is very lively, this Guqin probably did not pay much attention to Liulier because she was greedy.

"Think about it, is there any guest who admires Liulier, who just happened to be called Folou last night?"

Boss Xie raised his brows, and Kuang Jian's question seemed to bring suspicion into another situation: "What do you mean by Lord Catcher? You mean that Liuli was..."

Kuang Jian didn't express his opinion, but showed a subtle look.

Qin Gu immediately said: "Yes, yes, there are three in my memory. When the accident happened last night, the old man helped Liuli out, and someone was talking sarcasticly in another compartment, saying that Liuli is really unlucky. Died unexpectedly, the old man raised his head to see that it was Zhou Shan's family, who was forty years old and thin like a lonely ghost. He lived in a shabby household, liked to beg for women, and couldn't afford colored glaze. Some people in the crowd ridiculed him for his hands and feet. Instead, he immediately cursed back loudly, saying that Liuli thought she was someone who deserved him to touch her tits... Hey, what a foul language. At that time, Liuli was trembling because of the murder case, and she didn't care about it at all. However, it happened that Wang Xiaoya heard it, and he was so angry that he immediately stood up for Liuli and started fighting with Zhou Shan. Liuli said that he wanted to go back to the house to rest. Who am I, the old man hates such poor things that only talk about money and don't spend money the most in his life. He can write a few acid poems and rhetoric, and he can make two paintings. He thinks he can deceive girls... Then the officials came, Probably because they were afraid of offending the officials, these three people left afterward...Catcher, there are many people who like Liuli, I have an impression of these three tonight, but I don't know if there are others."

Qin Gu's words were quite lively, but she didn't have the point. Kuang Jian had to ask her again for the names of the three people and write them down one by one.

Ask again, "Where is the maid who found out first? Has she come?"

"Ah, no..." The steward showed a dazed look, and said embarrassingly: "I don't know which one it is, it was too chaotic at that time, there were more than 200 maidservants in the building, and there were people everywhere, so I need to call back to the Folou Ask, do you want her to draw a portrait?"

Kuang Jian nodded: "Yes, find it quickly, and let her identify the murderer if she sees it."

Murder in the downtown area, and in the east of the city, Kuang Jian did not take responsibility for this matter tomorrow morning.

In this way, almost two sticks of incense passed, the waiter of Jinxi Tea Restaurant in Gaozuo Temple came slowly. Since Gaozuo Temple was indeed a little far from the Yamen of Yingtianfu, Kuang Jian did not blame the police for being slow.Qian Jin asked him about the little sampan driver who delivered the food, and the waiter raised his eyebrows complainingly: "You mean the kid who delivered the supper? Because he spoiled the guests' food, he couldn't earn a day's wages, so he just left Already!"

Qian Jin heard it in disbelief: "Go away?"

The waiter was quite experienced and said: "Master, it's hard to find a coachman on the Qinhuai River, and it's hard to find a ship to deliver goods. He doesn't do it, and some people do it!"

Qian Jin: "What's his name? Do you have any in your store?"

The waiter scratched his head: "My name is Jin Er'er. I don't know the specifics. He looks good with hands and feet, but he looks like a lazy food. Conscience, the flow of people in this shop changes a lot, and no one has ever paid attention to his name." It was recorded..."

Kuang Jian pinched the bridge of her nose, so far she can basically guess that there are at least three people involved in the case in Jiaofo Tower: the murderer killed, "Jin Er" responded, and Sha Xiangyue covered up.

On the Qinhuai River, in order to prevent the prostitutes from being kidnapped and fleeing abroad, a series of checkpoints were set up on the river bank. Shaxiangyue called for a midnight snack in advance and arranged for the turtle slaves who were greedy for money and good goods under the plaque. The real murderer took advantage of the chaos to kidnap Liulier, and then boarded Jin Er's awning.On the west side of the river, Xiangyue was killed and mixed into a pot of porridge. The turtle slaves in the river east would not be alert. When they saw the small sampan that had honored them just now, they would let it go. Lose.

But now, there are only inferences, no evidence.

Under the lamp, Kuang Jian used a cinnabar pen to draw one line after another in the east of the city, anxiously waiting for useful news from the east of the city.The east end of the Qinhuai River is Dongshuiguan. Traveling here at night is like going to the sky. The murderer will definitely go ashore early on the boat. He has already blocked all the piers and alleys on the upper bank of the river east. I don't believe he can't stop people.

One cup of tea, two cups of tea, three cups of tea, one stick of incense, two sticks of incense, half an hour...

The evening bell of the adjacent Dabaoen Temple has begun to strike. At the end of the Haizi period, there were few tourists on the Qinhuai River, and the sound was silent. The whole Jinling began to fall into darkness and chaos, and people settled down to sleep.

Near midnight, Qian Jin reported pitifully: "Boss, I can't find it."

"Liu Lier's portrait was sent out just after Haishi, and the rosters at the east port port have been checked since Xushizhong, and the shop soldiers recalled that there was no suspicious person, and now Big Brother Cheng and the others are still blocking carriages in the alleys of the blocks. But now there are basically no carriages and horses..."

With such a beauty as Liulier, the hijackers might not dare to swagger through the market, or they might stop quietly and hide somewhere.

Kuang Jian asked: "Where are the river houses on both sides of the river? Are you sure you have checked everything?"

"Boss, I really checked everything. When the flow of people started to decrease, the brothers separated their hands to comb the river house. Those rich households heard that there were murderers on the run, and they cooperated very much. Also, boss, they can live in the house." The people who set up the river house are all literati and poets, high-ranking officials and dignitaries, although Liu Lier has a high social status, but these people will not go to the point of killing, hijacking or taking risks for her."

It has been an hour and a half, and so far, there has been no progress in the hunt.

Kuang Jian is very clear that he has missed the best time to arrest, and if he spreads out the search now, the manpower will become very laborious.The direction of the murderer's escape is from the Zhenghe Bridge in the northeast of Naigongyuan to the gathering area of ​​officials and eunuchs in Dongcheng. There are more than [-] residents here. If the time is longer, the scope will be expanded several times. If you can't catch people tonight, you can think about it tomorrow. The search is not what Ying Tianfu can handle.

"What went wrong..."

Ying Tianfu cooperated tacitly with each other, and there was almost no delay in terms of time. Kuang Jian anxiously recalled the details of what happened tonight, and quickly speculated on the murderer's possible escape route in his mind, simulating the situation when facing Tianfu's investigation. strain.

In fact, if he is the murderer, he is most likely to stun Liu Lier and hide him in a reliable place first, and walk out of the blockade by himself.But such a presumption cannot be passed on as an order. If he is based on assumptions everywhere, then he can come up with ten methods in an instant. The guards of Yingtianfu don't know where to pay attention, so they can only hold Liulier's portrait blindly. to search...

Sha Xiangyue used herself as a bait to interfere with his attention, making him slow down, step by step!Now even if he can guess their crime steps, he still can't catch them!

Kuang Jian shook her head angrily, completely disappointed with the result.

"Qian Jin!" Kuang Jian stood up suddenly.

"Hey!"

Kuang Jian hurriedly said, "I'll take a trip to Nail Lane, and you will take care of it here. When people come back, let them rest in the yamen and wait for orders."

Qian Jin's little head turned quickly, thinking of hitting Nail Lane?Isn't that a gathering area for small businessmen and craftsmen?If Kuang Tou doesn't go to the east of the city, why should he go to the west of the city?But before he could think of a thing or two, Kuang Jian's tall and straight body had already walked out of the gate in three steps and two steps, and he disappeared in the night.
