The first work of the imperial prison

Ye Baiting accidentally got his foot stuck in the hole created by the explosion and couldn't get it out...

It wasn't a big deal at first, but my subordinates were in trouble and needed a favor. Qiu Xunqing squatted down, and if she helped, she helped. She's not a big girl and a daughter-in-law with strict rules in the times, so why not show her feet? By the way, Beizhen Fusi school field drills, have you seen few?

The problem is that Qiu Yiqing pinched his feet and deliberately hid his feet, as if his feet were precious...

Ye Baiting was very uncomfortable, and urged in a low voice: "Are you all right?"

"Hurry up," Qiu Yiqing pinched his foot with one hand, and pulled out the shoe stuck in the gap with the other, "Hold on to me, don't fall down."

Ye Baiting stepped on Qiu Yiqing's knee with one foot, and rested his hand on Qiu Yiqing's shoulder. His balance was fine, but he felt ashamed: "You... Hurry up."

Chou Yiqing: "Don't be distracted, if you fall over, I won't just hold your feet."

Ye Baiting understood that if he really couldn't stand still, and Qiu Xunqing watched him fall, his next move would probably be to hug his waist... so many people, he didn't want it!

But the feet are very sensitive. When the knee is held or stepped on, it is easy to itch.

Qiu Yiqing: "Don't move."

Ye Baiting: ...

I really didn't want to move.

Qiu Xunqing reminded earnestly: "This is outside."

Ye Baiting: ...

What's going on outside, what's going on inside!What do you want to do!

Fortunately, there are no other worries, the shoes are pulled out abruptly, and it will not take much effort. With everyone behind his back, Qiu Yiqing took out the socks and put them back on for Xiao Zuo, and gently rubbed the delicate skin of her ankles with some regret , and then put on the shoes for Xiao Zuo.

Finally, he pulled down the hand on his shoulder, stood up by himself, and looked around.

Everyone turned their heads immediately, working hard, surveying the site, surveying the site, very serious and orderly——

The conductor keeps you busy, we don't see anything!

But Qiu Yiqing pressed his fist to his lips, coughed twice, and seemed a little dissatisfied—why didn't he read this envoy?

Crowd: ...

You're not ashamed at all, so frank!No, it should be said, so cool!It seems to be mocking these single dogs, who don't deserve to understand the 'strong love' in it!

Didn't they say that the command made it obvious that you haven't done anything yet?Have you caught up with the young master?Did Master Ren agree?How dare you be so rampant?

That Shen Baihu who had been married for several years did not dare to be so arrogant!

Ye Baiting was also a little speechless, stroked his forehead, and pointed at the corner of Qiu Xun's Tsing Yi: "Then what, I'll go back first."

Qiu Yiqing's fingertips still had the skin touch from just now, and she couldn't get rid of it for a long time, and she looked at Ye Baiting with dark eyes: "Will you wait for me?"

Pretending to be serious, dignified and calm, but this expression, the thick black color in the deep eyes that others can't see... It seems very regrettable, it is dawn instead of dark, this is the street instead of the Nuan Pavilion, so I can't do anything else Nothing to be ashamed of.

Ye Baiting couldn't hold back, and glared at him: "Isn't the commander busy?"

Not only did Qiu Yiqing's eyes darken, but his voice also darkened: "There are many people outside...don't tease me again."

Ye Baiting: ...

I will tease you whatever I do!Didn't it just stare at you, didn't it just wear a shoe!You can't take it anymore, what will you do when I really flirt with you in the future, perform a live show and die!

Qiu Yiqing seemed to understand his expressionless expression, and nodded lightly: "You can try."

Ye Baiting: ...

Heh, with such a leader, Beizhen Fusi is hopeless.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw Fulihang.

"The factory owner..." Didn't he leave?

Of course R&F is gone, but isn't this exciting?He had to take a look anyway. After reading it, he couldn't turn his head and leave. He looked so unqualified, so he turned around and found a high-sounding reason: "I forgot to say something just now. Although this case is the case of Beizhen Governor The secretary is investigating, but no matter Jinyiwei or Dongchang, they are all working for the court, there is no difference, if necessary, please send someone to our house."

Ye Baiting looked at him, and suddenly understood that prudence and prudence are different. R & F is better at the yin and yang style, which is better at and more appropriate. Prudence is not as good as Qiu Xunqing's ability. See It doesn't sound sincere at all.

"Thank you, but there's no need," Qiu Yiqing said bluntly, "Master, please go slowly."

R&F had no choice but to sigh and leave with regret.

Ye Baiting didn't understand his behavior: "Fu Gonggong...what exactly do you want?"

"It doesn't matter what you want to do," Qiu Xunqing whistled, calling back Xuan Guang who didn't know where to go, "You will only be my assistant, won't you?"

Ye Baiting frowned and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Not necessarily, we have to look at the seller's market. If the business is booming, there is a shortage of good jobs everywhere. Everyone competes to bid, and the pile of resources is getting higher and higher..."

Qiu Yiqing paused, with a serious expression: "Are you really thinking about him?"

Ye Baiting also paused, and suddenly laughed out loud: "You really believe it?"

Qiu Suiqing: ...

Little Fox.

Xuan Guang came all the way fast and stopped in front of the two, very proud.

There was an accident in the street, the Commander was very busy today, but the Commander decided to skip work and ride together when he came. Now that he wants to go back, he can only ride Xuanguang together. Qiu Xingqing stretched out his hand slowly: "It's God's will, This envoy can't do anything about it."

Ye Baiting was not hypocritical, and smiled as he took his hand and was about to get on the horse: "The commander must hold back, don't let outsiders see the joke."

As he spoke, his eyes moved down to a more sensitive position of a man.

Originally, he didn't look at it, so there was nothing wrong with it, at least he still had the command of self-control. He looked at it like this, and it was ridiculed, even a man couldn't stand it.

Qiu Yiqing took him to the horse: "...If you don't want to suffer, just be good."

Ye Baiting: ...

Some topics are too much to go too far, so he changed the topic wittily, and asked, "Mu Junwang's body, can I apply for an examination?"

It seems to be an 'accident', two people have died, not an exception, and these two families are good friends, there are many contacts in daily life, if the connection can be found, the scope of Jin Yiwei's investigation will be reduced instantly, The workload has been greatly reduced. If this 'prank' person is not killed on a large scale, but selectively arranged and implemented, it will be easier to find...

Qiu Yiqing: "Yes, Shen Jiang has already gone to do it."

"Huh?" Ye Baiting didn't expect it, "He didn't seem to be there just now?"

"There are messengers."

"If you send me back, you will leave immediately, right?" Ye Baiting didn't believe that the workaholic commander would skip work.

"Well. The on-site investigation is underway. When the corpse is brought back, you are busy. Go back and have a good rest, you know?"

"understood."

There is no high wall to block it, the sun is shining brightly, the wind is not strong, and the face is slightly cool, but the chest behind him is warm and broad. It seems that he doesn't need to think too much. If the sky falls, someone will support him. As long as he does his job well just fine.

……

In the morgue, Li's body was the first to welcome back. Ye Baiting and Phytophthora together made all kinds of preparations for the autopsy.

"Examination—Decedent female, 32 years old, plain clothes, scattered hair, a little more gray hair at the temples, obvious burn marks on the face...undressed, the deceased died newly, there is no body yet, dead body..."

Ye Baiting turned his head and asked Shang Lu: "The person who just brought the corpse here has an explanation, can they have an autopsy?"

Shang Lu: "The body of the deceased has been blown up like this, it is not complete, and the command and action are based on emotion and reason..."

"The family agreed?"

"Yes." Shang Lu had already brought over the box containing the knives, his eyes lit up, "Please, sir!"

In this way, Ye Baiting is not polite anymore.

He put on the gloves: "Let's look at the throat first..."

The throat of the deceased was bloody and bloody, and it was almost impossible to distinguish with the naked eye. Ye Baiting turned over a piece of skin with tweezers, asked Phytophthora to fetch water, flushed it, and said: "The trachea was injured too badly. , the deceased was unable to shout at that moment, and the cause of death should be asphyxiation."

But it is also very difficult to create this kind of wound. Without the sharpness of the blade, it is generally impossible to complete. Although the burn marks on the deceased's throat were serious, after careful screening, sharp lines can still be seen. The wound is bloody and slightly swollen , obviously done before his death.

There must be something else!

Ye Baiting searched again, and the tweezers picked up one that was less than an inch long and no more than two minutes wide, not too transparent, extremely sharp, and shards of glass.

Shanglu's scalp was numb: "This is... Liuli?"

Ye Baiting looked at the slightly rough piece of glass, and was a little surprised: "Is there such a thing here?"

"Although this thing is more windproof than paper, it's too brittle. If you don't pay attention, it will break and hurt people. Most people don't know how to use it," Shang Lu said. "Rich people will choose it purposefully. In winter, it is better than windows Good paper."

"I see……"

Ye Baiting put the shards of glass in the evidence tray and continued to search, and soon found more shards of glass in the body of the deceased, but not so big, but more broken, smaller, and smaller slag, which could be picked up by tweezers. Can't hold it.

It seems that this little ball... has something.

Ye Baiting continued to conduct the autopsy while thinking: "...the internal organs are normal, and there is no suspicious bleeding. The explosion only caused extensive burns on the body surface, and did not produce shock waves, but the uterus—the deceased was infertile."

Upon reaching this point, Ye Baiting paused, carefully recalling the posture of the dead body at the scene.

The reason why he looked around at that time and noticed the nearest jade shop was because the deceased's fallen posture and the direction of the route at the last moment of his life were likely to be directed here, but R&F made it very clear, The jade store has a very clear style and positioning, and all the accessories sold are young men's accessories. Fu Lixing is strange. I have never heard that the deceased had children of this age. If there were, it is impossible for her husband not to bring them out to socialize... So The problem now is not that the deceased did not have children of this age, but that she had no children at all.

Then she wants to go to that shop, why?

Neither can her husband.

Almost instantly, he thought of the deceased's nephew, who was found at the scene, and at the same time related to the Mu County Palace. Mu An's friend is called Lu Xingming, right?

"I am coming!"

Shen Jiang arrived at this time, seeing Ye Baiting holding the autopsy tool in his hand: "The autopsy is done?"

"Almost," Ye Baiting saw that Shanglu was scribbling, and the autopsy items were almost written, "The cause of death was suffocation. The moment it fell on the deceased, the throat was strongly impacted, the trachea ruptured, and the body burned. Severe fever, unable to breathe, unable to call for help... Can you get anything about the simple relationship between the deceased?"

"Have!"

Shen Jiang immediately opened the notebook: "She has a nephew named Lu Xingming, the young master should know about it? But that is not a nephew at all, but an adopted son! He was brought back to his family to raise him when he was one year old, and the genealogy also shows Changed, but I don’t know why, when I was 13 years old, I was sent back to my original parents to be raised for a year, and then I changed my name when I came back. They still live together... Lu Xingming stayed with them except when he was 13 years old."

Ye Baiting is still thinking about the jade shop, the young man... Lu Xingming is not very suitable?

Shen Jiang continued: "The situation of the Lu family is not enough compared to the top, and it is more than the bottom. It is definitely not as capable as King Mu. He did not have so many achievements in office, but he is not bad. Lu Yisheng is very good at management and has a lot of wealth. Even if you know how to raise children, there is only one way to express love, spending money, buying everything, almost giving what you want, directly raising the child into a dude, not good at learning, not showing skills, but good at enjoying and having fun ..."

Ye Baiting thought about the scene of seeing Lu Xingming before, because today he was going to attend a funeral, and his clothes were not fancy at all, and he couldn't find any faults. Seeing the deceased, he was probably too frightened, and he didn't recover for a while, and he couldn't find anything wrong with it. She didn't look like a dandy at all, she was just shocked and didn't shed tears. This parent-child relationship...maybe not that good.

Thinking about it, Ye Baiting asked, "How is the relationship between the husband and wife and the child?"

"Should be good? After all, what does the child want, what does the adult give, and recently he is showing him a girl..." Shen Jiang flipped through the small book, "There is nothing suspicious."

"The deceased had a lot of gray hair..."

Ye Baiting thought: "Generally, at this age, there should not be so many, unless it is a special disease, or it is inherited in the family. Do you have any information on this?"

Shen Jiang thought for a while, then shook his head: "That's not true, but when I went to visit, I happened to meet the elder brother of the deceased. He was already in his forties, but he didn't have a single gray hair. Obviously it's not hereditary. At that time, no one mentioned what kind of illness the deceased had."

Then why is she worrying?

Shen Jiang was also puzzled.

Ye Baiting: "What happened to the Lu family recently?"

Shen Jiang: "It's nothing special, it's just like... I lost a glazed cup?"

Glass cup?Glass again, glass?

Ye Baiting paused: "What did you say?"

"Liu Lizhan," Shen Jiang gestured, "I heard that it is a treasure. It is very transparent and beautiful, like a blue flame, very pure. There is absolutely no such thing on the market. It is the work of a deceased master. There is no second one in the world... "

"I lost something and haven't found it?"

"I've looked for it, but I can't find it! I don't know who stole it, I don't sell the stolen goods, I don't put them on the market, I can't even ask for a letter..."

Ye Baiting was thoughtful, and asked another matter: "Maybe you can bring the body of Prince Mu back?"

"I've already brought it back!" Shen Jiang pointed at the open door, "I just thought the car was going slowly, so I ran back to say hello to you first, and it won't take a stick of incense to get there!"

Sure enough, the body of Duke Mu was placed on the mortuary table without waiting for a stick of incense.

Ye Baiting changed his equipment and carried out the second autopsy.

Same as the previous guess, it was also extensive burns on the body surface, caused by the 'small ball'. The explosion released a lot of heat at the moment, the shock wave was not big, and the lethality was amazing. Li's throat was injured and he couldn't breathe. , and eventually died of suffocation, while King Mu was too close to the heart at the explosion point, and the heart was injured too high to be rescued.

It behaved the same as Li's corpse. After careful observation, Ye Baiting found the same glass shards from Mu Junwang's body, which is what the people here said... Liuli shards.

Shen Jiang looked at these sharp things, and gasped: "This thing... was blown out of those small balls? How painful it would be to collapse on the body!"

Ye Baiting thought of a question: "This is not the first time that a similar 'prank' has happened in the streets and alleys. Is there such a situation among the people who were injured before?"

If something like glass is stuck deep into the body, it is not easy to pull it out when the medical condition is not good, and it is easy to cause infection.

"should not?"

Shen Jiang thought for a while, Jin Yiwei did not receive similar information, if such a thing happened, it would definitely be reported, if not, it is very likely...

"People who play 'prank', have you leveled up?"

Ye Baiting narrowed his eyes: "So this time, we must pay attention to the screening, whether all the 'small balls' today have broken glass, and whether there are none of those that happened before, whether these two deceased are isolated cases, or are they inevitable..."

"I got it!"

"The glazed cup of the Lu family is lost, and it's in Prince Mu's mansion." Ye Baiting suddenly remembered what Mu An said, feeling a little subtle, "It seems that the decoration is being repaired recently, and glazed tiles and glazed windows are used."

"There are all glass..."

Shen Jiang rubbed his chin: "The craft of glazed tiles is relatively mature, and it can be burned in many places, but the cost is a bit higher, and only rich and noble families can afford it. It's not just ordinary rich and noble families. You have to have the powerful and powerful ones. Pay attention to avoid suspicion with the imperial city, at least with gold, you can’t use it, it’s called colored glaze, but it’s actually kind of tiles, it’s not transparent at all. Window paper is better, and it is more windproof than window paper, but you can’t find pure and transparent ones. The ones used by big families are all kneaded, but kneading is also a science. Before things are burned, you know Is it good-looking or not? As for the glass cup of the Lu family, why it is so valuable is because the color is well adjusted. I heard that the blue is from light to dark, like ink dripping into the water, and the smudge is very beautiful, like after the rain. The sky is so pure..."

Ye Baiting: "What colored glaze workshops are there in the capital?"

Since it is not easy to burn and the quality cannot be guaranteed, don't you have a clue if you compare a few?

Shen Jiang nodded: "I'll check later!"

"There are still these small balls..." Ye Baiting always felt that something was wrong, it would be great if there were samples that hadn't exploded, "Need to check carefully."

"I checked."

As soon as there was a low voice accompanied by footsteps, it was Qiu Yiqing who came back, holding an incomplete small ball in his hand, which should have been picked up from the scene, it wasn't so badly blown up, and it could still be seen.

"I suspect it has something to do with the last thunder bomb incident."

Ye Baiting was stunned for a moment: "It's not that the power is not the same, it's much weaker?"

"It's much weaker, but its internal structure is very similar to that of the Thunderbolt. If you are not familiar with it, you can't make this kind of structure." Qing Qing's eyebrows darkened slightly, "The structure is similar, but it is not as stable as the Thunderbolt. No matter how the Thunderbolt is transported , even if the car accidentally flips over and falls to the ground, it will not explode easily, and if you want it to explode, the only way is to ignite the fuse - do you know why?"

Ye Baiting humbly asked for advice: "Why?"

"Partition," Qiu Xunqing pointed to the middle of the small ball, "Thunderbolt is here, there is a partition, and the principle of explosion is not difficult. Those who understand know that it depends on gunpowder. This kind of thing is unstable and explosive. Even wiping out a spark will not work, but the composition of gunpowder is not a kind of substance, it needs to be proportioned, each thing exists alone, it will not have such a big effect, it is very inert, and the moment various substances are combined, sparks are excited again, In order to produce a huge explosion, thunderbolts have partitions in the production process. The fuse must be ignited, the firing pin will be opened, and the partition will disappear, so that the gunpowder can react instantly and explode. But this thing is different, there is no partition inside, and it is extremely unstable. , not to mention impact, occasionally even if you don’t hold it firmly, it may explode.”

Ye Baiting: "This technique...isn't it easy to learn?"

Qiu Yiqing's head: "Yes, it looks simple, but it is delicate to make, and it requires a lot of skill."

"But this is something made by the perpetrator himself. I should know that it is unstable..."

Knowing that it is unstable, but still dare to take it out to play, Ye Baiting narrowed his eyes: "The person we need to find this time is probably not a calm person, maybe a little crazy, loves to play, and likes to be exciting."

"Also," Qiu Yiqing pointed at the small ball, "There are broken glass in it."

Shen Jiang's scalp was numb: "It really is!"

"Maybe I want to increase the power," Qiu Yiqing's voice was slow, as if he was also thinking, "The glass is fine and sharp, which is much more convenient than the hard-to-get iron. It can produce a great killing effect when paired with flames. The amount of gunpowder in it is not large. , the outer casing does not show the hardness of the iron marks, I guess——the perpetrators should have limited resources, even if they can learn how to make thunderbolts, they will not be able to get the resources."

If you can't get ironware and gunpowder, you can get colored glaze, so it is imperative for him to make colored glaze workshops!

Shen Jiang understood, and wrote it down in the notebook.

Qiu Xunqing put down the small ball and took out a simple map, on which he pointed out a few points and drew a simple line: "I checked all the places where the small ball was hung, what can I see?"

Ye Baiting understood it at a glance: "All of them are in shops with a relatively large number of customers...the perpetrator is very cautious."

Qiu Yiqing pointed to a point: "The accident happened here when King Mu Jun was in front of a shop."

Shen Jiang compared the distance between the two places: "It doesn't seem too far from the place where Mrs. Li died today?"

Qiu Suiqing's head: "It seems that the perpetrator is very familiar with this area, and feels that he can control the crime here and feel safe."

Ye Baiting: "Run away after finishing the work, and never stay at the scene of the crime. This person is very vigilant."

"Knowing the whereabouts of the two deceased, there is a way to lead them to the shop..." Shen Jiang rubbed his chin, "Could it be a guy in the shop?"

"Not necessarily," Ye Baiting shook his head, "but he must know that the deceased cared about this shop and why."

Qiu Xunqing: "If you know the whereabouts of the deceased, you must be concerned about something. There must be a definite source of information—if the perpetrator is an acquaintance, he must be in the same network. If not, there must be a special point. Find out The deceased is connected, and if you find this point, you can also solve the case.”

There is also colored glaze, after all, it is not something that is purchased in large quantities on the market. How much is sold and how much is made, there is always a record, right?Who has bought in large quantities, but has not used it on the bright side?Has there been a fuss about loss?

Lei Huo Bomb is not an ordinary toy, anyone can get it and study it. After some investigations in the previous case, there should be no such things in the capital. Where did the perpetrator see it and learn it?

Ye Baiting reminded: "Similar to this kind of large-scale 'prank', as long as we don't catch anyone, the perpetrators will probably not stop. We have to act as soon as possible."

……

All the details that need to be investigated, the details to be paid attention to, and the next direction, there are many rules and regulations. Shen Jiang finished memorizing and had no time to rest, so he said hello and left.

The room was quiet for a while, Qiu Xingqing turned his eyes and looked at Ye Baiting: "Have a meal together?"

"Okay."

Ye Baiting took off his gloves, took off his overalls, smiled, and walked past Qiu Yiqing.

Qiu Yiqing felt that the smile was very meaningful: "What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about some people." Ye Baiting's voice was more meaningful: "Why are you so proficient in thunder and fire bombs?"

Qiu Xunqing: "...it was dismantled."
