Suspect in Jinling

There is a slight cold wind in the air, the moon hangs a light blue bend in the sky without sleep, and the rooster is crowing very loudly. The monks of Dabaoen Temple have not started ringing the morning bell, but under the big banyan tree outside Yingtian Mansion A hawker set up a stall and set up a pot, and white dew formed on the bluestone slab bridge. When the stall was heated up, there was a comfortable warmth in the cold morning, which attracted early travelers to rub their hands and sit down. A temple filled with five internal organs.

When Kuang Jianta responded to Tianfu, his shoulders were still covered with the morning dew from the night before, and the tiled halls in the pool room, the servants in the yamen were wrapped in thick blankets with their arms on their pillows and fell asleep, snoring loudly.The city of Jinling has always been like this. No matter how eerie and busy the night is, the morning after a few hours is destined to wash away the leaden splendor calmly, revealing a peaceful and tranquil background.

Kuang Jian raised his eyes and saw two figures walking towards the back hall, one was dressed as an officer of Yingtian Mansion, and the other was dressed in brown ramie. The figure looked like Ru Chao, the famous lawyer from Huizhou Mansion. Why come to the door.

Little Six came out from nowhere, approached Kuang Jian in a low voice, and said in a low voice, "Boss Kuang, Sha Xiangyue in the back hall has been released."

In the early morning, Kuang Jian's reaction was a bit slow, but his pupils still shrank slightly, "Who told you to let it go?"

The sound was a little louder, and the guards in the water room were startled and turned over wearily.

"What's wrong? You're so angry?" At this moment, the door of the Zhishe on the west side opened, and the fourth master came out in a green suit, pulling up the cotton curtain. Come through.Kuang Jian looked at him and asked, "Who let you kill Xiangyue?"

"I let him go." The fourth master waved his hand as if he was afraid of him, and quickly dragged him over, "Why are you so angry? If you catch him wrong, you catch him wrong. Why do you forcibly detain him? That lawyer from Huizhou Prefecture will do it." The good procedures are being picked up later, and I’ll be leaving later.”

This is the fourth master. Kuang Jian took a deep breath, pinched his waist with his backhand, and stopped talking.

"Let's go into the house and have a meal to refresh our minds!" The fourth master babbled, ignoring Kuang Jian's increasingly stinky face, and dragged him into the house: "I brought the buns from my door, don't you Love to eat that house? People, you can’t keep going around like this because you are young, and you will get tired sooner or later.”

Kuang Jian was pushed and shoved by the fourth master, and the little six also followed the thief in. He took the initiative to grab a white bun, and couldn't help but ask while eating, "You came so early today, the young master didn't send you to school. ?"

"Today's mother will send the child off. The Qinhuai River made trouble and killed people last night. How can I sit at home for such a big incident!" Fourth Master answered him, and then looked at Mr. Kuang, who was unwilling to open his mouth, " Wuyuan, don't worry yourself, Mr. Fu Yin has been busy with the government for the past two days and can't get away from it. He can't control this, and the third master will arrange tasks for us later, and then we will talk about it!"

Speaking of Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, it didn't take long for the fourth master's voice to fall, and a man with a dark and iron face lifted the cotton curtain and walked in firmly. Cheng Dabin, who had just woken up, came in with him.Seeing this, Little Six hurriedly stuffed another bun, and walked out. The little Zhishe was stuffed by four tall men for a while, and suddenly felt cramped.

"To make a long story short," the third master's face was very dark, as if he had been up all night because of this case, "The higher-ups have just made a decision that the Folou murder case should now be filed with the town government department, and it will not be under our control."

With two long legs resting on the table, Kuang Jian opened her eyes suddenly: "What?"

Fourth Master and Cheng Dabin couldn't help but look at each other.

"Snatching jobs?" Fourth Master said incredulously, "This is not the style of Mr. Lu from the Zhenfu Secretary!"

Cheng Dabin: "It's the town government secretary again, two cases in one month, do they want to be brothers with us?"

"What name?" Kuang Jian's reaction was stronger than those two people: "Ying Tianfu has been busy with this case all night, and they said they want it?"

The third master turned his gaze to Kuang Jian: "The Bingbei Road encircled and suppressed a Taiping Sect stronghold seven days ago, and the higher authorities determined that Hu Ye's murder was related to the Taiping Sect."

As soon as the Taiping Sect was brought out, the Secretary of the Zhenfu was justified.

Kuang Jian's head buzzed: there was nothing good in the morning, killing Xiangyue was put first, and the right to handle the case was left behind. Today is really good.

But Cheng Dabin obviously couldn't bear this statement. He was the one who organized his brothers to run to the front line last night, and now he just gave the wedding clothes to someone else? "One is in the west of the city and the other is in the east of the city. Why is it related to the Taiping Sect? Brothers have worked hard all night, and it is not the Taiping Sect!"

The fourth master smacked his lips. Although he was not angry, he could only persuade his own people first, "Dabin, don't worry, Yingtianfu will send people to the maintenance mansion for a test starting today. The town mansion secretary will stop Hu and let them go." It's not a bad thing to check people!" He was also in a bad mood, he stood up and was about to make tea for himself, and casually said to the third master: "That means they don't need us to intervene, let's take The progress of the investigation last night was packaged for them, so it will be all right?"

"It's not."

The third master turned the copybook in his hand, and said to the idle fourth master, "Don't rush away, the town government secretary will call you and Ah Jian to assist in handling the case."

It was cold outside, and when the four of Ying Tianfu were discussing matters, Sha Xiangyue was standing outside the auditorium wearing Ru Chao's coat.

The well-known Huizhou famous lawyer stood respectfully beside Sha Xiangyue, while Sha Xiangyue looked upright at the candlelight shining from Zhishe on the west side, motionless, for a long time, the door of Zhishe moved, striding forward. Walking out of two figures, the man in Tsing Yi at the head made gestures and gestures, chatting with the people beside him, and when he walked around the corridor and looked up, he bumped into Sha Xiangyue unexpectedly——

"Yo! You haven't left yet!"

Fourth Master greeted Sha Xiangyue casually, Sha Xiangyue nodded politely at him, and then cast a glance at the person beside him——

Shaxiangyuezhao was even more desolate and embarrassed than that night at Zimuqiao, her chin and neck were bruised and purple, and her ears were covered with bloody scabs. I don't know if there were other injuries under the clothes.There was some resentment in his eyes. No one from Yingtian Mansion came to ask him all night. There was no pot of tea or box of wound medicine. His eyes flickered and he stared at Kuang Jian intently. The fourth master was a little alarmed, but Kuang Jian didn't raise his eyebrows, walked straight in front of Sha Xiangyue, walked straight out of the house with big strides, as if there was no one in the courtyard at all.

Fourth Master was keenly aware of an unusual smell, stepped out the door and suddenly turned his head, looked Sha Xiangyue up and down——

There were few people in the yamen, shrouded in mist in the morning chill, this little craftsman had a handsome face, and his clear eyes were filled with a round of water. When he glanced over, he felt resentful and pitiful. A dew-condensed lilac bloomed on the spot, growing there delicately and softly, becoming fine and untied, without saying a word, but talking all over the body...

Fourth Master looked at Ru Chao beside him again, the corners of his lips curled thoughtfully, he strode away without saying anything.

The defendant in the Huizhou Mansion was originally a person who would frown three times in the courtroom, and seeing that Sha Xiangyue was making fun of himself, he couldn't help asking, "...Master Kill?"

Sha Xiangyue's brows tightened, and after a long time, he brushed back the broken hair on his forehead, and his eyes suddenly became stern, "Let's go."

The carriage outside the yamen was already ready, Ru Chao led the way sideways and wanted to give Sha Xiangyue a hand, but was gently moved away, Sha Xiangyue lifted her skirt, stepped on the carriage stool, directly opened the curtain of the car, and leaned in. But when he went in, he didn't sit down directly, but bent down half-kneed and lowered his head: "Father."

There was another person in the car, Royal Blue Luo Shan, who had obviously been waiting for a long time.He was sitting in the carriage, with his hands folded, and on his delicate and stable right thumb was an ancient jade wrench finger. Its color was clear and thick, and even in the dim carriage, there was still a faint emerald green glow.

"Come out."

The man's voice was low and hoarse, as if he was taking a nap just now, at this moment he bent down tenderly, reached out and raised Sha Xiangyue's face.Sha Xiangyue's thick eyelids hung down like crow feathers, she didn't hide or cover her eyes, her emerald green fingers caressed his face moistly, illuminating a small piece of his skin, the owner of that big hand didn't hesitate, just touched it He slapped his fingers coldly, slap, slap, slap, slowly but forcefully, and slapped him three times in a row.

"Xiangyue, on the Qinhuai River, you are in the limelight."

"That's the progress so far."

Inside the town government's yamen, Kuang Jian roughly sorted out last night. Countless lines and characters of different thicknesses were frantically entangled. He pushed the map and showed it to Jin Yiwei: "The next task It is to find a needle in a haystack, and the soldiers are divided into three groups, all the way to check the three clients who are related to Liulier, Zhou Shan, Wang Yong, and Fu Chunsheng, all the way went deep into the official residence in the east of the city, and went door to door to ask if there was anything unusual last night, A group of people swept the tail to check whether there is a low platform near the water other than the river step wharf near the tribute courtyard, as well as the carriages and horses that entered and exited the tribute courtyard last night."

Kuang Jian always looks like an old man who can't help but say it everywhere, and the big horse is in the town's office, and Jin Yiwei is also ordered around by him.

Jiang Xingzheng pursed his lips, did not respond, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Why didn't Catcher Kuang check Hexi Road?"

"After the Hexi incident, I personally chased it. I didn't see any suspicious people. Instead, it was the turtle slaves under the plaque on the [-]th floor who were greedy for money and good goods. As long as they gave filial piety, they would often let them go without reason."

Jiang Xingzheng turned his head, and immediately ordered to his subordinates, "Go and catch the turtle slave under the gate for verification." After finishing speaking, he looked at Kuang Jian, and continued to ask: "What about the Gongyuan? Did Kuang Butou search last night?"

Kuang Jian propped up her cheekbones, thinking what about this kid?Why don't you go down and arrange people to interrogate me first?

"The Tribute Trial Court of the neighboring prefecture is very tightly blocked, and vehicles and horses must be registered one by one. I never thought that the murderer would go this way."

Jiang Xingzheng frowned, full of doubts, and was about to ask again, when suddenly a small flag came from outside the house to report, "Jiang Baihu, the job is back to work!" He stepped in, handed over the official document in his hand, and reported to work: "This It is an autopsy report. The corpse is an officer with numerous old wounds. The autopsy examines the deceased’s new wounds before death. There are fifteen shallow knife wounds and four heavy knife wounds, most of which are concentrated on the back of the chest. There are ten fingernail scratches on the arms and chest, which are fatal. The injury was on the left jugular vein and the left posterior heart, and there were heavy contusion marks on the back of the neck. The deceased had taken strong medicine before death, and there is no sign of poisoning, but there is another strange thing, you need to see it yourself.”

And strange?Jiang Xingzheng took the autopsy sheet, quickly swept his eyes, and asked in surprise: "Castrated?"

Kuang Jian and fourth master suddenly looked at each other.

Xiao Qi said: "It was the ovum that was cut off. When carrying the corpse, there was too much bleeding, so no one paid attention to it. It was only after careful inspection that the foreman discovered it."

"Could the perpetrator be a eunuch?"

Someone in Jin Yiwei suddenly put forward a hypothesis, "Maybe it was because the man was clean and couldn't enter the palace, and he had been depressed for a long time, so he went to the theater to kill people and castrated him?"

In today's world, there are a lot of eunuchs from the palace. There are those who are married and eunuchs, those who have eunuchs and grandchildren, and those who have brothers and sisters. Every year, 3000 eunuchs are recruited in the palace, and there are often more than [-] eunuchs. Beijing and Jinling are waiting for the opportunity. If they are not selected into the palace for several years in a row, there are indeed many people with physical disabilities and twisted hearts.

Kuang Jian turned her neck and pursed her lips in disgust.

Fortunately, Jiang Xingzheng still has reason. Faced with such curious and nonsensical assumptions, he retorted: "If it is true that the eunuch murdered to vent his anger, the murderer would choose a remote trick shop, and weak, sick and consumptive clients would not pick people in Jiaofolou. Commander Hu, who is tall and big."

Kuang Jian is about to roll her eyes. The decision is not to hold a meeting of hundreds of families, and each person will express their own opinions. The town government secretary has the time to tease, and the manpower is spread out, "Don't think about taking shortcuts, let go of the manpower Check it carefully." He kindly reminded him aloud.

But immediately, Jin Yiwei questioned dissatisfiedly: "Kuang Butou, except for the first one, which one of the few things you mentioned is not a needle in a haystack?"

"if not?"

Kuang Jian raised his eyes, put his elbows on the back chair, and looked at him firmly, "Listen, what's your opinion?"

Yingtianfu Yamen is located in the middle of Jinling City, where the four roads from southeast to northwest pass through; the Zhenfu Division is located in the east of the city, adjacent to the imperial city, where hundreds of officials work.However, the town government's yamen is uniquely endowed with such a cramped and crowded area, which still occupies a large training ground for daily drills. Kuang Jian finished wrangling all over the place, distributed the tasks like an old cow pulling a cart, and hurried out to pull the four Panting together, he walked straight to the empty Jinyiwei military training ground, lightly tapped his feet, grabbed the high single-section horizontal bar, stretched his arms, and stretched his arms and lower back vigorously and slowly——

"The feng shui of the yamen of the Zhenfu Division is good. The room where the business is discussed is not cloudy at all, and there is such a good piece of land." The fourth master raised his eyes and looked around, quite sighing.

There was no one around, and Kuang Jian didn't respond when he heard it. He hadn't slept all night, and at this moment, he stretched his limbs by doing a little exercise. Stretching, then lightly jumped off the horizontal bar, twisted his neck and let out a "huh".

Seeing his appearance, Fourth Master changed the subject, "What's the matter with Jiang Xingzheng? He doesn't seem to be here to investigate the case, but he seems to be here to investigate you."
