The first work of the imperial prison

Qiu Suiqing was flying up and down, and when he was in command and busy, Ye Baiting couldn't help, so he grabbed Xuan Guang, who was about to move, and stroked its forehead with his palm: "Be good, don't go over, you will get hurt."

Xuan Guang is actually a wild and unrestrained horse, what scene has he not seen?At such a young age, it has already experienced scenery that other horses may never see in their entire lives. The bigger the scene, the more excited it is and the more capable it is, but now the young master is by his side...

It touched the young master's shoulder with its forehead, snorted, and stuck to the young master in all kinds of ways, so beautiful.

What is the big scene, there will be opportunities in the future, but the exclusive young master, after this village, there will be no such shop!What kind of dog is the owner? Others don't know, but the horse doesn't know?Such a big man, such a big official, has no measure at all, but if it gets close to the young master, rubbing his shoulders and licking his hands, he will be unhappy, and insists on clamping in to stop it. If the young master likes it, he will pet it. Mao, huh, that man is going to be very angry, for example, these days, he has never been released, and he is not allowed to take a step closer to the young master!

A petty dog ​​man!

Don't be afraid, young master, Xuanguang will protect you!

Ye Baiting didn't pay attention to how close Xuan Guang was, he couldn't tell about the relationship between eyes, he was very happy that Xuan Guang liked him, for example, now, he can control it, it can be regarded as helping Qiu Xingqing a little.

While stroking his head, stroking his fur, and comforting Xuan Guang, he was not idle, observing his surroundings carefully.

It is the same as the news received by Beizhen Fusi. It is indeed a small ball. It is not big, and it is similar to his fist. If you throw it, there must be a parabolic arc instead of falling straight. Most of the small balls land on both sides of the street, near the wall. Most people only need to walk in the middle and follow the guidance of Jin Yiwei, and they will not be injured. .

But there was also an accident. The small ball fell from the height of the building on the street. The streets here are bustling, and there are many shops and restaurants. Basically, there are only one floor, and there are five or six floors. There must be windows in the middle, or The screens that block the rain and sunlight, the windows will open, and the screens are extended to the outside. When the small ball passes through these places, the falling route is forced to change, and it will slide into the air and then fall, but it is in the middle of the street. It was this kind of trouble that Qiu Xunqing dealt with by jumping in the air.

Ye Baiting raised his head and looked at the top of these building floors.

The frequency of the small balls falling is not too dense, like raindrops, but there are definitely a lot of them. There are streets on the left and right, restaurants, tea houses, and jewelry shops... It is impossible for one person to do so many at the same time. Could it be that a gang committed the crime? , multiplayer action?

Judging from the messy situation on the street, this incident has been going on for some time. After so long, it is impossible for the shopkeepers in these restaurants and shops not to notice and not send people to the roof of their houses to have a look, but so far everyone has only In the behavior of fighting the fire and helping people escape, no one said who they saw or caught, isn't it a bit abnormal?

Either, the person who did this had already run away and was not caught, or, because of some special reasons, they couldn't reach the scene on the top floor.

Ye Baiting pondered for a moment, and then carefully looked at the small balls that fell, they didn't seem to be particularly round, they were a bit like eggs of a few sizes, and they were a bit like small bottles... It didn't seem like iron, they were very fragile, and they fell on the ground immediately. Sparks exploded, and the moment the gunpowder smoke bloomed, there seemed to be liquid, or some tiny dross fragments sprayed out, and the color of the ignited fire was not so red, nor was it dim yellow like candlelight, with a light blue color, pure and transparent. through.

What is put in it to have such an effect?

Throwing this kind of thing on the bustling street can't be an accident, it's intentional. What is the purpose of the person who did this?If it is a murder, there is no need to play so many tricks, isn't it more convenient to plan accurately?Could it be... just a prank?This person just wants to watch the excitement and gain attention?

Ye Baiting was turning his head to think, when he saw a scene that made his heart beat violently, a small ball fell from a height, was suddenly blocked by a partition in the air, changed its route, and went straight towards Qiu Suqing!

"Behind - hide quickly!"

He couldn't help yelling, his palms were sweating.

Qiu Xunqing heard the wind from behind, but he did not hide, because if he did, this small ball would definitely hit the ground, and in the middle of the street, there were still people who had not been evacuated. Turning around in the air, with a sweep of the tiptoes, the small round bottle was thrown to the direction of the surrounding wall, making sure that no one would be injured...

Because the rotation was too fast and too fast, there was no place to use his strength, so his whole body fell sharply from the air.

His body weight is much larger than the little ball!

Ye Baiting's breathing was stagnant, but he saw Qiu Yiqing leaned slightly, and his whole body fell to the ground, but he was in a half-squat position, with both feet on the ground, his right hand resting on the ground at the same time, and his left hand sideways behind him. The moment he looked up, his eyes Still sharp and confident.

Where is there a little embarrassment?Even in the billowing smoke and dust, his posture and expression are all handsome!

Seeing Xiao Wu Zuo worried, Qiu Xunqing even smiled, as if to say: Is this how much confidence you have in me?

Or—you can't even imagine how far I can do it.

Ye Baiting: ...

What time is it, can this man stop flirting!

However, Qiu Yiqing could only look at him, because the scene was still chaotic, and he still had a lot of work to do, so he turned around and jumped into the air again——

Ye Baiting had just breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that there was something wrong with where he was standing. Originally, he was standing outside the danger zone, but because of the worry just now, he took a few steps forward.

Given that the distance from him to the dangerous center was only a few steps away, it didn't matter at first, but he was unlucky. The window of the restaurant not far in front, on the third floor facing the street, was originally closed, and suddenly someone When the window was opened, it was such a coincidence that a small ball fell from the roof and just hit the corner of the open window.

The little ball didn't explode immediately, but due to the sudden external force, it slid out in an instant, heading straight in his direction, and the speed was very fast!

Ye Baiting: ...

He no longer wants to look at Qiu Yiqing's eyes anymore, he just let go of the cruel words not long ago, saying that you have to trust me, you have to trust me, I have the ability to deal with crises, I can stand on my own, and the result is happening now In such an accident, he has no martial arts, so it is impossible for him to stop the little round ball!

Hide.

Fortunately, there was no one around, so he patted his ass and signaled Xuan Guang: "Run! Hurry up, go to a farther place!"

He didn't get on the horse, and there wasn't enough time. With his reaction speed, he couldn't reach the level of Qiu Yiqing even if he was killed. He could jump on the horse non-stop. That's it, even if he takes the horse, one of them counts as one, and he has to fall here.

He could only slap the horse away while changing direction, running sideways, and running backwards.

He is not like Qiu Yiqing, who has high martial arts skills and can tell the position by listening to the wind, but he subconsciously runs in a direction away from danger, and accidentally bumps into someone.

This person is quite kind-hearted, so he helped him up: "Xiao Mister, be careful..."

The voice was quite familiar.

"You guys, over there! You guys, over here! The rest are near our house!"

Immediately afterwards, a team in uniform passed by. Listening to this person's instructions, they quickly changed direction and went to the helper, the guard who was guarding all around, and the small ball was naturally thrown to other directions, so it did not explode in front of the eyes. .

Ye Baiting stood up, and he was indeed a familiar person: "Mr. Fuchang? Thank you."

"You're welcome, Mr. Xiao." Fu Lixing only gave him a hand, and when he saw him standing still, he took a step back, "Danger is ahead, so you must pay attention to yourself."

Ye Baiting cupped his hands: "Why is the factory owner here?"

Fu Lixing laughed: "Although our family has a bad temper and a little temper, we can know when to do things. If the world is not peaceful and the world is peaceful, there is no chance for people like our family to tremble. What do you say?" Yes or no?"

After getting rid of the yin and yang and the greasy feeling, Ye Baiting found that this father-in-law doesn't seem to be so annoying: "I never thought that the factory father is so high-minded and virtuous, and I can't match it in my generation."

"I don't dare to compare with the commander and you." Who is R&F, he is the master who observes the words and expressions in the palace every day. He can feel the slightest change in the other party's eyes. Everything is too late. It's better to stop when you see it. , He quickly made a decision in his mind, and didn't stop any longer, "Mr. Xiao, just stay here. Don't put yourself in danger. It's an emergency. We don't have many people with us. If you want to go to support, just I won't accompany you any longer."

Ye Baiting: "Master, walk slowly."

Fulihang really didn't just come here to join in the fun, he really allocated people to help, and the speed of evacuating Baixing was faster.

Ye Baiting looked at it thoughtfully, Dongchang is... a reformer?

No matter how many small balls there are, there will be a time when they are all dropped. The people on the street have been evacuated in an orderly manner. Jinyiwei and Dongchang are in charge. After the biggest crisis is over, the rest is just some finishing work. For example, the people need to be appeased. the fire is going out...

There are people below to do it, but there is no need for Shangguan for the time being.

Qiu Xunqing used his strength to climb, and climbed onto the roof of the restaurant in twos and threes.

This building is very tall, with about six floors. Like Ye Baiting, Qiu Yiqing was also thinking about it while dealing with the crisis. Why didn't the shopkeeper of the restaurant come up to check, there was no information about the 'prankster', and now he jumped to several places Looking at the roof, the answer is clear.

The passage from the top of the building was either covered and sealed, with big stones added to increase the weight, or the ladder was removed, and there were no tools to climb up. It was not too troublesome, there were not many stones, just push it If it doesn’t open, it can be solved by pushing a few more times. The ladder is gone. Now the situation is tense and there is no time to manage it. Wait until it calms down and find another one, and then you can climb up again. It’s not a big problem—it can be seen that other people do these things, I just want to isolate a short time and space, so that I won't be discovered or disturbed by others.

I went to the wall and saw that there were residues, the black traces of the rope burning, slowly hanging down from the roof, twisting around... Most of the small balls should have been hanging here before, burning with the rope little by little , When I reached the place where the tie was tied, I couldn't bear the force anymore, so I fell down one by one, and when I got to the back, there were more and more, more and more frequent...

Qiu Xunqing frequently skipped over several roofs, the layout is similar with minor differences, all the places where the small balls gather are shops with relatively high traffic flow, customers come and go, it will probably be very difficult to investigate.

These places are open to the outside world, it is easy for people to run up, and it is also easy to run out among the crowd.

His current problem is the same as Ye Baiting's, the purpose of the crime, what kind of person insists on doing such a thing, and why?Deliberately drop a small flammable and explosive ball on it, and when the time comes, hit the street and attack the passing people indiscriminately?Picture what?Is it to check the luck of passers-by?

Qiu Yiqing didn't have any precise direction of suspicion for the time being, but just observed carefully, not missing a single detail.

It wasn't until I had seen all the places and everything on the scene was clear, that I withdrew my attention and looked for the figure of Xiaozuo on the street.

Then R&F was discovered.

This eunuch will bully the weak and fear the strong. In front of the master in the palace, he always puts on a flattering smile. He pretends to be decent on the outside, and he really wants to save face. Today, he is very abnormal. ?

Chou Yiqing didn't take the stairs at all, and jumped with outstretched arms, borrowed strength from the wall, flew down from the corner of the high wall, and ran all the way to Ye Baiting, before stopping.

"The unknown factory owner is here, so I am not far away to welcome you."

Of course, Fu Lixing could hear the yin and yang in it, and he didn't understand it. He smiled very kindly: "Commander, don't be polite to our family, this crisis is ahead, the lives of the people are fate, and so is Mr. Xiao." Ah, you must not take risks..."

He is very good at language skills, he praises himself without knowing it, secretly speaks of flowers, and repeats what he has heard to Ye Bai before.

Qiu Suiqing: ...

If it's the father-in-law in the palace, when the yin and yang are angry, the person who can choke has an appetite and feels uncomfortable. If he really wants to praise others, it's really comfortable to hold him. It's fine if he praises himself, but he praises Ye Baiting and protects Ye Baiting... …

The commander endured it, the person he likes is of course the best in the world, and the most worthy of everyone's sacrifice!

R&F looked at the nose with the eyes and the heart with the nose. After careful observation for a while, he found that it was right, this road was completely feasible!It's just that I have to be a little careful in the future, and the distance between Mr. Xiao and Mr. Xiao can't be too close, otherwise others will become jealous...

Cough, although he is a father-in-law, he is also a man. Some men are narrow-minded.

Qiu Yiqing looked at Ye Baiting up and down: "Just now... did you startle me?"

Knowing that he cared about her, Ye Baiting smiled and shook her head: "No, no one was hurt anywhere."

"very good."

"Someone's dead—someone!"

The two hadn't spoken much yet, when they heard this voice, they had the same reaction: "Let's go!"

"Go and see!"

R&F has come all the time, and of course followed, step by step, to the scene.

The place where the body was found was a dark alley, just beside the main street. Because the street was full of dangers before, no one cared about other places. Now that the danger subsides, it is easy to find here.

The deceased was a woman who looked to be in her thirties. She was lying at the entrance of the alley, her upper body was soaked in a pool of blood, and there were charred marks not far from her side, which were similar to the charred marks on the street. The imprint left by the fried balls.

The conditions at the scene were insufficient, and the light was a bit dark. Ye Baiting squatted down and carried out a simple and rough autopsy: "The corpse is still warm, the cornea is not cloudy, and there are a small amount of scattered bleeding spots. The corpse spots and rigor have not formed, which is obviously a new death. There are obvious burn marks on the face, bones can be seen, and the scars on the throat are particularly serious... The preliminary judgment should be that the throat was severely injured, the respiratory function was impaired, and the death was probably caused by suffocation."

"Huh? This person... we know each other." Fu Lixing suddenly spoke.

Qiu Xunqing: "Who is it?"

"Mr. Li, Lu Yisheng's wife," Fu Lixing knew that they were not familiar with these two, and followed up, "Lu Yisheng has also been an official outside the country for many years. Prince Mu has a good relationship..."

Speaking of this, R&F felt a bit coincidental: "These two families are on good terms. Today, Prince Mu's Mansion is in vain. Mrs. Li should go to the mourning hall to offer incense. How could she be killed here?"

"Master, let's take a look at the clothes on her body." Ye Baiting emphatically reminded the deceased's clothes, "She should have been to the mourning hall today."

Although he is not filial, but his body is plain, even the hairpin rings are silver. If you smell it closely, you can still smell the faint scent of sandalwood. This person should have been to the Prince Mu's mansion, and came here after coming out. This accident.

Ye Baiting looked to the left and right, the nearest one was a jade shop, the decoration looked very simple and elegant, and only jade, no jewelry: "Isn't this a place where women like to shop?"

There is no need to be jealous, R&F can answer this question: "Absolutely not, we know this shop, it sells all things that men can use, jade pendants, jade rings, pea green light blue flowers, no matter the color or texture, It's still a style of occasion, it's all young people's style, not to mention women, men who have passed their thirties will not come to visit, this Li...doesn't seem to have a son at this age? I haven't seen Mr. Lu brought out to socialize. "

Ye Baiting felt that the purse in the waist of the deceased was bulging, put on gloves, opened it carefully, and took out something——

"Tickets?"

"Our family also knows this!" As expected of the owner of the Dongchang factory, he is well-informed, "It is Liu Jibu, the owner himself is very good at doing business, and has in-laws in the south of the Yangtze River, and he can always get the latest designs and the best quality Good new products, but it’s not easy to let go and keep them for others, even if you let go and keep them for you, if you don’t arrive before the deadline, you will immediately release the quantity and sell it to others—”

Ye Baiting looked at the time on the ticket, it was today, before noon.

It's already gone.

Qiu Yiqing added: "Liu Jibu's trip is far away from here. Compared with the location of Prince Mu's Mansion, it is exactly the opposite."

So a problem arose. Mrs. Li made an appointment with Liuji Buxing. The owner of Buxing didn't let go easily. It was not easy for her to make an appointment. The bills are so well preserved and they are still carried with them. They should be remembered very clearly. , I have to pick it up at noon today, but if you start from the Mujun Palace, the cloth address is in the opposite direction from here, why did she suddenly change her mind, does she not want cloth, or is there something more she wants?

Was it really an accident that she died here, or was it an 'accident' caused by someone guiding her?

While thinking, a person suddenly appeared in Ye Baiting's field of vision, as if he had just met Mu An in Mu Jun's mansion -

He moved close to Qiu Yiqing's ear and said something, Qiu Yiqing swept the crowd and quickly brought him over.

This person didn't struggle when he was brought over, but was full of surprise. Looking at the corpse on the ground, he couldn't walk: "Auntie..."

Ye Baiting: "Is she your aunt?"

"Yes," the man looked eighteen or nineteen years old, his eyes were a little dazed, and he looked disbelieving, "My name is Lu Xingming, this is my aunt, surnamed Li, we were together not long ago, why... died Woolen cloth?"

Qiu Xunqing: "What's going on? Tell me."

Lu Xingming glanced at the situation on the scene, and the Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi who were around did not dare to hide it: "As far as Mujun Wang's mansion is hanging up today, my family is very good from his family, and we all know each other in private. He took me there, and told me that it is not easy for other people to encounter such a situation. Since I have a good relationship with Mu An, I should help him take care of some guests outside. Madam, she will also help Point to Mrs. Fang, but Mrs. Fang is very powerful, and she probably doesn’t need much help. She said that she will come out later to get the cloth. It’s okay if you don’t see her for a while, so don’t worry... This, what is this? what's going on?"

Ye Baiting: "Who knows about your aunt going to the cloth store to fetch the cloth?"

"Family?" Lu Xingming shook his head, "I'm not too sure, I heard about it this morning, but there are a lot of ladies and wives coming and going in the palace of the Prince of Mu County. What are they talking about when they get together? I don't know if I talked about this..."

Ye Baiting and Qiu Yiqing looked at each other.

In the past, the small troubles looked like pranks, no one was killed, maybe they can be ignored, but now it is different, two people have died, can the case be filed?

Qiu Yiqing pondered for a moment: "There are many strange things about this matter. The corpse needs to be temporarily parked in Beizhen Fusi to conduct necessary investigation and evidence collection. Since you are here, you can inform your family later. If you have any opinions, come to Beizhen Fusi. Complaint."

"This... a villain doesn't dare," Lu Xingming asked, "It's my uncle, can you come over and have a look?"

"Ask him to go to Beizhen Fusi."

"Yes."

"You too," Qiu Yiqing called to stop him, "Don't run around in the near future, if you have any questions, Jin Yiwei will ask you anytime."

"Yes……"

Fulixing was very winking, and it was about to file a case. The next thing is confidentiality, and it is not convenient to keep it, so he said goodbye neatly: "The crisis in the street is over, and our family has something to do in the palace, so I won't accompany you any more. If necessary, Commander and Mr. Xiao just ask someone to inform our family."

"Thank you."

Ye Baiting watched R&F walk away, saw that Jin Yiwei had already divided into a small team to carry out on-site inspection work, and called out in a low voice: "Qiu Yiqing."

Qiu Yiqing came over: "Huh?"

Ye Baiting looked around, and his voice became softer: "Squat down."

"Ok?"

Qiu Yiqing raised her eyebrows on the left side, as if she was surprised by this sentence, and seemed to be saying - you want me, Commander Jin Yiwei, to squat down when there are so many people around?

Ye Baiting was a little annoyed: "Are you squatting or not?"

Qiu Xunqing... Of course Qiu Xunqing squatted down.

He saw that there was something wrong with Xiao Wuzuo's expression, squatted down, and immediately understood why it was wrong. The streets and alleys were surrounded by explosions. The position is wrong, it just got stuck in a gap and cannot move.

As for why he didn't squat down to solve it by himself, but needed him... because not only the shoes, but also the trousers of the little gangster stepped on the gap, and it was very tight. If I squatted rashly, I was afraid that the trousers would...

How long have you endured this?Was it just like this during the autopsy?

Qiu Xunqing held back her smile, grabbed the trouser leg of the other party, and pulled it up——

With a sound of "呲啦", the fabric of the trousers was torn off a little.

Ye Baiting: ...

It's okay, if the clothes are broken, you can make new ones, as long as you don't expose your flesh.

Just as he was about to bend over to come by himself, he saw Qiu Xunqing holding his hand, putting it on his shoulder for support, and the next moment, holding his ankle.

"Need not……"

However, Qiu Yiqing had already applied lightly, but the shoe was stuck tightly and could not come out.

"It seems that I can only take off my shoes first."

Qiu Yiqing squeezed Ye Baiting's ankle with his big hands, guiding him hard, this time it went smoothly, the foot came out, it was the sock...it didn't come out, it got stuck in the shoe.

The sudden cool wind... the overheated temperature of the opponent's palm...

Ye Baiting subconsciously shrank back.

But Qiu Yiqing grabbed his foot, not allowing him to move, put it on his knee, let him step on it, paused for a while, as if afraid that others would see, pulled the corner of his clothes, and lifted the little white The feet were bound tightly.
