The first work of the imperial prison

"Although my family is not rich, I will never earn money on my knees. My father never taught me this rule."

Su Jiujiu's expression was very calm, and her speech was also very calm, which formed a huge contrast with the waves in her voice, which made people's thoughts churn.

This girl didn't toast, she rejected those messy 'rules', she might be taken advantage of by a pig hand, and also aroused the dissatisfaction of the men present, so she must not get away easily.

Ye Baiting asked: "How did you leave the scene?"

Su Jiujiu's reply was still very simple: "My father is here."

Everyone's eyes focused on Su Tu.

Su Tu was generous, cupped his hands at Qiu Suqing, the superior, and said, "The apprentice came to deliver the wine. My daughter hasn't returned home for a long time. Of course, I, a father, want to come and have a look. Aren't these people going to drink? All right?" , I asked them to open their eyes and see how people who really know how to drink play."

Ye Baiting: "Did you drink with them?"

Su Tu glanced at Daha, and grinned his white teeth: "Drink it, but it's in my way. It's boring to fight for wine, and I'm tired of watching songs and dances. Why don't you do it yourself, learn from each other, and get together. Fun, I'm a cripple, how can they compare?"

"Did you fight them?"

"It doesn't count. We Dazhao people pay attention to gentleman's etiquette. It's too rude to hit people when we come up. It really makes people anxious. How about crying in front of the emperor?" Su Tu said, "Just limit the time, obstacles, short-term The amount of alcohol to be settled within... Fair and just, they will do whatever I want. The two parties set up barriers for each other and want to pay the final payment for the drink, right? If I win, they will give me three times the drink money. If I lose, let alone the drink money No more, I will pay them a batch of new wine!"

"A bunch of junk, I can win with one hand and one foot, and I still have the face to tell my daughter to drink? Bah!"

Ye Baiting: "You won?"

Su Tu smiled: "It's just a small amount of money, I told the young master to read a joke."

Ye Baiting pondered: "They probably won't let you go easily."

After all, it is real money.

The smile on Su Tu's face deepened: "So what if you don't want to let it go? This is Dazhao. As long as I yell loudly, the guards outside can hear it and rush in. Ask Daha if he dares to stop him? How dare he bully Dazhao?" People, General An is not a vegetarian!"

"But I didn't shout in the end, my apprentice came over."

Ye Baiting glanced at Du Kang: "Your apprentice also knows kung fu?"

Su Tu snorted, with a look of contempt on his face: "What kind of work is a three-legged cat's flower work? He will have no future in this life, and he is only worthy of making wine."

"Master," Du Kang didn't get angry, he glanced at his senior sister, his expression was very calm, "I can make wine with my master and senior sister, this life is enough for this disciple, and I have nothing else to think about."

Su Tu groaned harder, it was hard to see whether he was satisfied or pleased.

Qiu Yiqing turned to Daha: "What they said is the truth?"

Daha's expression was not very happy, but he still nodded his head: "You Jokha people are cunning, and we Wala are not without measure. It's just a trick. What's the fight with ignorant people? He's disappointed, we just play other things. "

Qiu Yiqing looked at the three people in front of the hall again: "During the time you were in the banquet hall, what special things can happen, and what special things can you remember?"

Su Jiujiu shook his head: "I just remember... that Master Bi of Honglu Temple seemed to be drunk early on, lying on the table, and Lu Ming was not always there. When my father competed with others, he went out for a trip."

Du Kang answered, "Maybe they are looking for me."

Su Jiujiu frowned: "Looking for you?"

Du Kang: "He came to look for me in the backyard, where I gave the wine, and said that something happened to you and Master in the banquet hall, and threatened me to let me listen to him, otherwise you may suffer a catastrophe."

Su Jiujiu's face became more serious: "Have you heard?"

"Of course not," Du Kang sneered, "Do you think everyone else is a fool? He's just dreaming!"

Ye Baiting remembered one thing: "Have you ever fought with him?"

Du Kang pursed his lips: "It moved, I pushed him twice, and he ran away in fright."

Just push twice, there will be no injury on the body, Ye Baiting raised his eyes slightly: "I'm not talking about last night, counting forward three or four days, did you and Lu Ming have any quarrels or disputes?"

Du Kang didn't speak.

Ye Baiting: "Let me ask again, the deceased had fought with someone three or four days ago and was injured, did you know?"

"He deserves to be injured," Du Kang said sullenly, without concealing it, "Three days ago, on May 24, when we handed over the first batch of wine to the mission, he came to the winery and said with his usual Words, say that in the wine industry, if you want to become bigger and stronger, and make money every day, you do not rely on craftsmanship, but on the outside operation, the mouth of the wine seller, and the network of contacts you have built. It is said that Wala will open a mutual market this time. The amount of wine purchased is very large, and no one can eat it alone. Let us cooperate to join the group, do things together, raise the price of wine, and make more water and wine... The price is the same thing, and selling to other places is different from selling locally. But we don’t do bad business and never sell fake wine.”

Ye Baiting paused: "Do you know that Lu Ming sells fake wine?"

Du Kang: "They have crooked minds, they have many business avenues under their hands, they don't focus on which one, they focus on whichever gust of wind blows, they want to make money but don't need to be on the right path, the outside world has heard more or less about water and wine."

"Then do you know that their fake wine has killed people?"

"If you add too much water, can you drink to death?" Du Kang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's true, even if you drink too much wine, you will get drunk, and you will also get drunk to death."

Ye Baiting had a clue in his mind: "Wine and water, the only way to fake it is to mix it with water?"

Du Kang didn't respond, Su Tu squinted his eyes first: "This young master is talking about wood essence? That's the most vile method, it will poison people to death!"

Ye Baiting: "You know?"

Su Tu: "I've seen it in the past. There shouldn't be such a thing in the liquor store!"

"So your wine shop..."

"Since the day the construction started, there hasn't been such a thing," Su Tu said seriously, "Jin Yiwei can go and check it!"

Ye Baiting nodded, and then asked Du Kang: "You said that you injured Lu Ming three days ago, where did you hit him?"

Du Kang: "I would like to beat him a few more times, but he is a master, his body is weak, he squats down after one punch, so it is not easy to beat him again."

"Are you sure it's just one punch?"

"Just one punch."

"Where is the fight?"

"He was standing opposite me at the time, and I punched with my right hand, which was quite powerful..." Du Kang responded, "If he is injured, it should be the left lower abdomen?"

This point is correct, the deceased's left lower abdomen did have bruises.

Ye Baiting asked again: "What about other parts? Like hands and feet?"

Du Kang shook his head: "Then I didn't touch it."

Ye Baiting pondered for a moment: "Tell me about all the dealings between the deceased and your winery."

"The first time he went to the wine shop, it should be nine days ago. Wala suddenly selected wines, which means mutual market. The news spread quickly, and everyone in the industry knew that our wine shop happened to be a little small in the capital. Fame, the people from the mission passed by that day, and Lu Ming accompanied him."

Du Kang said: "Lu Ming came to us secretly at that time, and we could cooperate, but at that time the mission didn't place any orders, so I couldn't talk to him. The next day, someone from the mission came to ask for wine, signed the contract, and paid the deposit , let us deliver it in a few days... It was three days ago, Lu Ming came over that day and said that he would order some in person, in case we deliberately delivered less and missed delivery. The reason why I was so angry was because of this, and secondly, He quarreled with my master."

"My master has a quick temper, and his legs and feet are not good. Usually, my senior sister and I are very careful and try not to make him angry, but Lu Ming is so ungrateful, so I..."

Ye Baiting asked Su Tu: "Is that so?"

Su Tu nodded: "That's right, I saw his punch, but that's all, there is no more, the grandson surnamed Lu is not strong enough, he didn't dare to take more, stood up and ran away in a hurry .”

So Lu Ming went to Suji Winery several times in succession for the matter of 'making money with water and wine', but he didn't get the desired result, and he still didn't give up. Last night, seeing the Su family's father and daughter at the banquet, things got a little big , I felt it was an opportunity, so I threatened Du Kang again...

Ye Baiting turned to Su Jiujiu again: "Where is Miss Su, do you know these things happened?"

Su Jiujiu looked at his father, then at his junior, and shook his head: "I usually make wine in the back, and avoid going to the front yard. Father and junior never mentioned to me what happened before."

Ye Baiting noticed that Su Jiujiu was sweating slightly on his forehead, and turned to look at the window.

She was not standing in the sun, the temperature in the room was not high, it shouldn't be so hot, her expression was always calm, even when she talked about unpleasant things, she didn't feel so angry or guilty about something, just look at the color of her lips Faint, sweaty...or so there's only one reason.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"Some." Su Jiujiu bit her lips slightly, "Maybe I came home too late last night and the wind blew."

Su Tu supported his daughter, stretched out his hand to touch her forehead, his eyes were a little nervous: "It's not just the wind blowing, it must have been frightened last night, listen to Dad, go back and take medicine obediently, you will be fine soon..."

Ye Baiting didn't want to delay the patient, so he quickened his pace, asked a lot of questions, and confirmed a lot of details.

During this period, Daha kept trying to join the topic, but unexpectedly he couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all. He didn't know where his train of thought came from, why he suddenly changed direction, of course Qiu Xunqing understood, and he inserted words from time to time, every word was on the key , Shen Jiang is also bad, it doesn't matter if he understands it or not, the bastard on the other side doesn't understand, he is happy, he cuts off the conversation more than once, and when Daha gets his head, he suppresses it loudly, stuck in the mouth, and let people pass To express, nothing was said, and it was extremely uncomfortable to hold back.

After receiving the praise from the young master and the commander, Shen Jiang straightened his back, look, look, this is the quality of a hundred households!He can also get along very well with the young master!

Daha was repeatedly frustrated, regrouped the drums several times, and was suppressed several times. After realizing it, he finally understood one thing.

It’s not that they didn’t do their homework when they came here. The high-ranking officials may not be able to recognize their faces. Those who mentioned many names in the intelligence must have an impression. Like trouble, or be afraid of trouble, it should be fine for them to be provoked for a while, but it is unexpected to hold grudges like this today, and they are the ones who scold them and detain them...

Maybe it's not for himself, but to protect the calf, because they want to bully this young man?

He had clamored before, saying that others were not worthy, and that he wanted the commander to come over in person. He was just making trouble, and he didn't expect to see himself, but when he came, he felt that he had quite a face. The mission was too important, and he found something wrong. It's not for him, it's for the case, it's to protect the calf!

He made trouble, and when he heard that Beizhen Fusi only came to work, he still felt that he was neglected, and there was even more reason to make trouble, but it turned out that this was the great Buddha, was it to give him face!

After Ye Baiting and Qiu Yiqing asked the Su family questions, they let them go back to rest, saying that there might be other investigations in the near future, and when they were asked to cooperate, a soldier from Jinyiwei came over to send a message——

"Commander, young master, I found something behind, and you may need to see it yourself."

Ye Baiting got up and went to watch it with Qiu Yiqing.

Of course Daha didn't fall behind, rolled his eyes, and followed him out. Shen Jiang couldn't just watch his bad deeds, like the last time, he stood in front of him, making sure that the first scene must be his Jinyiwei's , just don't let him pass.

Go out from the side door of the hall and walk east a little, there is a small piece of grass and shrubs, which should be neat and clean, but now it is very messy, not the kind of mess where things are thrown, there are very obvious, meandering traces, the shrubs are covered Rubbing, a lot of leaves fell.

Even a layman can tell at a glance that someone has passed by here, and the speed is very fast, the kind of speed that is in a hurry——

Because there is a bluestone path next to it, there is no need to be so rampant.

Looking at the distribution of the traces, Ye Baiting could clearly tell that these were man-made traces, not some animals that came in carelessly.

Chou Yiqing was more professional. He squatted in front of the bushes, picked apart a branch, and found two footprints: "It's not one person, it's two people."

Ye Baiting took a closer look at the two footprints and found that the two footprints were not complete, so it was inconvenient to extract and compare, but the outline was very clear. One was shallow and narrow, obviously a woman of light stature, and the other was very deep. The soles of the feet are also very wide, with thick marks, and it is obvious that he is a tall and strong man.

"That is to say... There was a man who chased a woman and passed by here?"

"Ah."

Qiu Yiqing moved forward along the trace, and when there was a break in the middle, he looked back and forth, quickly found new clues, restored the path of the two, continued to chase, and finally found a room.

Pushing open the door of the room, the inside is even more exciting.

This room is far away from the main hall, and it is a bit remote. From a functional point of view, it is not used for leisure. There are not many people from the mission. You can choose a room with a good location, and you will not live here. It should be Just a spare room.

However, Honglu Temple is well-furnished for hospitality. Even the rooms that the guests probably don’t need have been cleaned and tidied up. There are tables, chairs and cabinets with all the furnishings that should be there.The cabinet was placed against the wall, without any trace of being opened, and the corner utensils and even the covered cloth towels were still there, and they had not been used at all.

But from the door to the inside of the room, wherever you pass, it is as if you have experienced a strong wind. Nothing is in its place, and most of them are overturned. Even the chairs are missing a corner. Not refreshing.

This range is very obvious, from the door to the table, and then to the window in the south, it is roughly an oval range, and the side is not affected, such as the corner of the wall, it is still clean.

As soon as Ye Baiting came in, apart from the chaos in the room, he also felt something different, the smell, the smell here is a little...

"Huh—" Shen Jiang was taken aback when he reached the door of the room, "I'm afraid there was a fight?"

"It can't be called a fight."

"It should be unilateral resistance and pulling."

Ye Baiting and Qiu Yiqing had a good understanding again, and they discovered the difference between these traces together.

"One person is obviously powerful and destructive, but there is no stop in the middle of anything that is overturned or smashed..."

"One man is small and unable to resist the strength of the opponent, so he can only keep throwing and smashing things over, but still can't stop the opponent from coming... Finally, he was caught, and when he was pulling and beating, his arm or body touched the table, and the window wall……"

Ye Baiting looked at the blood on the corner of the table: "This person must have resistance wounds, bruises, and bleeding."

But there are also doubts. The traces of the scene are clear and the chaos lasted for such a long time. The process of fighting and resisting must not be short.

"Why don't you call someone?"

There were often drunk people during the banquet of the mission that night. If the sound of things falling and smashing is not abnormal, then if someone screams for help, the guards outside cannot ignore it. Why don't the people here shout?

Qiu Xunqing: "This person knows what will happen next, but he can't refuse."

Ye Baiting: "Or, she has deeper, other concerns."

She dared not shout.

"do not move!"

Just as Daha was about to reach out to touch the table, he was stopped by Ye Baiting, with a dazed expression on his face.

Shen Jiang directly took the person away: "Don't move the things at the scene!"

Daha stiffened his neck: "I'm just tired from walking, leaning on the table, what can I destroy! Then there is something on it that deserves your attention, can you tell what it is if you don't move it!"

"Of course you can't, our young master can!" Shen Jiang looked at Ye Baiting, that means, hurry up, young master, show him!

Ye Baiting ignored their words, when he was serious about handling the case, he didn't have time and didn't want to be distracted.

But he did find something on the table: "It's...sweat stains."

The weather in spring is dry, both morning and evening, but everything with moisture dries very quickly, and the tabletop is not wet at all, but there is an obvious difference between a wet tabletop and a dry tabletop, in addition to traces, there is also a smell.

It doesn't just smell like sweat, it also...

"Here," Ye Baiting pointed to the edge of the tabletop, "the map is irregular in shape, with obvious edges, hard feeling, off-white, crust-like—this is a sperm spot."

Someone has been here, had sex with coercion.

Running all the way, the woman who ran into the room not only did not run away, but failed to avoid the man who forced him back, and was brutally raped.

woman……

When I was asking for a confession just now, the picture was profound. A certain person participated in the wine bureau last night, and today he is still very unwell...

"Su Jiujiu!" Shen Jiang immediately thought of this person, "But she was released just now, do you want to come back and ask?"

Ye Baiting shook his head.

Qiu Xunqing: "No need."

If it's not her, please come back and ask, it won't help, if it's her... She chose to hide it just now, will she say it now?

At the beginning of the case, they had very few clues. What is more important now is more investigation results.

Ye Baiting asked Daha, "Does Chief Da know what happened here?"

Daha: ...

Why do you have to call Da the leader!

"My name is Daha!"

Do you remember clearly?I don't want to repeat myself, my name is Daha Daha!My surname is long, it’s okay if you don’t remember it, how can you just give me one, are you polite!

"Understood, Chief Da," Ye Baiting said with a serious face, "So what happened here, do you know?"

Daha: ...

Forget it, it's useless to be serious with this group of people, he just rolled up his sleeves and snorted coldly: "The yard is so big, and I'm alone, with only one pair of eyes, how can I see everything? You also know that I held a banquet last night , drunk and passionate, it's inevitable that some adult couldn't help it, and borrowed this room... what's all the fuss about?"

Ye Baiting stared at him: "Has Master Da been to this room?"

"Come here!" Dahali said confidently, "Didn't I follow you!"

Shen Jiang: "Don't pretend to be mean here, our young master was talking about last night, did you come last night!"

Daha's eyes widened: "Why, you all want to frame me for this?" He pointed at Ye Baiting, with a look of shame, indignation and aggrieved expression, "Just now, you, the young master, personally cut it off and said I can't do it, why now? Is it okay again? Suddenly you can be passionate and courteous?"

Shen Jiang: ...

He felt that this leader was talking about running around without a word of truth, he didn't care whether the case was solved or not, and he didn't care, he just wanted to make trouble, but he never thought that his lower body would become his amulet, proving that he had never done anything bad!

But it's not entirely directionless.

Ye Baiting glanced over Daha: "Didn't Chief Da say that there was singing and dancing during the banquet last night?"

Where there is singing and dancing, there will be dancers. In such occasions, they have the lowest status and are the least valued. They are the only ones who are likely to be pulled over and bullied.

"Let's start the investigation."

Qiu Yiqing turned around and looked at Daha: "Beizhen Fusi is on official business, please cooperate with Chief Da."

Daha: ...

The boundary of your capital city, the territory of Jinyiwei, you still have to ask me if I deserve to cooperate?Do you dare to be more sincere in that expression, and don't write "dare you die if you don't cooperate"?Don't foreign missions deserve dignity, being trampled by you like this!

"Finger, wield, make, please, convenient."

Daha gritted his teeth and finished speaking, then turned around and was about to leave.

Today is really unlucky, I have run into a wall again and again, but I dare not say no, I am powerless to resist, I can't go on like this!Next time before you want to do something, you must ask clearly, who is the other party, and is there such a young man as the master!

But after leaving like this, Daha was upset, so he said: "Seven days, at most seven days for you, this case must be solved! If you dare to perfunctory and don't take it to heart, I will Go to your emperor to ask for an explanation, and see who is ashamed!"

He thought that the way he turned around was very handsome, chic, and intimidating, but if...he glanced back?

Qiu Xunqing ignored what he said and recruited people to deploy.

Shen Jiang raised his hand very positively: "I'll do the investigation and visit! This is such a small area, I can finish all the inquiries in one day!"

Ye Baiting: "I'll take the body back and see if there's anything to prove."

Shen Jiang: "Then it will be the same as before. No matter what I find later, I will send a copy back immediately. The young master will analyze it first!"

What seven days, it won't take seven days if it goes well, I'm calling you a bastard!

Let you see the real team efficiency, it won't scare you to death
