The first work of the imperial prison

Only Lu Ming and Zhong Xingyan have access to counterfeit wine and wood essence, and it is the most convenient to get it. No matter who makes the move, it must have a purpose when it is brought to the banquet. Daha knows this purpose, uses this purpose, and wants to expand its influence. To cause trouble, pretending not to know on the surface, but actually planning the layout secretly, and Muya predicted that Daha would cause trouble, so she first prepared a golden method for herself to get out of her shell...

"hiss……"

One by one, the hearts are so dirty!

Shen Jiang thought about how the two of them were together before: "...Riyo, he moves and stays still, and he listens to persuasion for a week. It's obvious that the relationship is not good, and he is always on guard against stabbing the other party in the back. It looks like it!"

"No matter who brought the counterfeit wine to the banquet hall, it must have been helped by Dahame, but it is not certain who died." Ye Baiting narrowed his eyes, "Daha can sit and watch, provoke, and hint. , and can even be manipulated to make all these people make troubles, get angry, and die, but he himself does not touch himself."

Shen Jiang Xisi was terrified: "So this case... who is the murderer and what happened, Daha knows from the beginning to the end, but he will never tell us, he is acting from the beginning to the end, he just wants to use these Let’s make a big mess! It’s better if we can’t solve the case, we’d better bring the matter to the emperor, and it’s better to get the mission involved, he doesn’t care about diplomatic relations or not!”

Ye Baiting: "Think deeper."

"Ah?" Shen Jiang was taken aback, how could he think about it?

Qiu Xunqing reminded: "That night, all three members of the Su family were present."

Shen Jiang still didn't understand.

Ye Baiting: "Daha can count sinister people, but he can't count innocent people? The cause of death of the deceased is fake wine wood essence. Whose hands did this glass of fake wine pass to the deceased?"

Shen Jiang looked shocked: "Su, the three of the Su family..." Could it be that they were also tricked?

The drinking party tonight was too scary!Some people are busy for money, some are hunting for sex, some don't know anything and just bump into it head-on, some think they know everything well and kill people calmly, while some have arranged everything early and prepared a plan for the future...

Do you think all facts are what you see?What you see is only the appearance!

"Whether Lu Ming knows it or not, he must die tonight. Someone is watching him..."

Ye Baiting suddenly remembered something, and looked at Shen Jiang: "You said that Lu Ming is insidious, cunning, speculative, and courageous. If during the process of accompanying the mission, he learned some secrets, or on the night of the banquet, he If he discovers something, would he want to take a peek, would he want to make sure, in order to seek new interests? If he knew a certain 'big secret', would he be scared or excited? Look out?"

Qiu Yiqing followed closely, and said: "Yu Linglong is a person with a keen mind, if there is a private meeting with Lu Ming during the banquet..."

"It's very likely that she also discovered this secret!" Shen Jiang punched his palm, "Then the cause of her death may have something to do with it!"

Daha can stay out of the matter and not kill people, but he can provoke arrangements!

"Then what did Lu Ming do this night, who did he meet with, what did he say, when did his expression change significantly, when did his interest suddenly increase... We must investigate carefully, and his timeline must be investigated. Accurate!"

Shen Jiang was full of fighting spirit: "I'll do it tomorrow, young master just watch it!"

Ye Baiting nodded: "The source of the counterfeit wine, how it got to the banquet venue, and how many people it handled are still the most important. The key information that can prove the murderer needs to be carefully confirmed and traced back."

Shen Jiang: "There is not enough time. Everyone drank more than a glass of wine during the banquet. My people are still investigating. At present, several people who have been in contact with the jug have been locked. The chain of evidence needs to be sorted out. However, I It will definitely be found!"

"Tuk-tuk-"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, followed by a familiar voice: "My lord, Xiang Zi'an, I have something to report to the young master."

Ye Baiting was startled.

Both Xiang Zi'an and Qin Geng were imprisoned in other people's cases and imprisoned. They have made meritorious service many times before, and the two of them now have small bracelets with copper bells hanging on them. When they leave the prison, they shout for help when they need help, and they run faster than anyone else. They are only rude and talkative when Ye Baiting goes to the prison to look for them, and they rarely come out to look for Ye Baiting unless there is something special... …

"Come in."

When the young master spoke, Shen Jiang took the initiative to open the door and welcome him in.

Xiang Zi'an's expression was indeed very different, the folding fan in his hand was folded into a bunch and held, his expression was serious, not the slightest bit of leisurely and romantic in the past.

Ye Baiting: "What's wrong?"

Xiang Zian came in to salute: "May I have the guts to ask, are the young master and the commander investigating a case where the deceased is Lu Ming?"

Ye Baiting immediately understood: "You know him?"

Xiang Zian closed his eyes: "Among the people involved in this kind of case, is there an adult surnamed Bi?"

"Bi Zhenghe?" Shen Jiang was also surprised, "You know him too?"

"It's really them..."

Xiang Zi'an smiled wryly: "That's right, I know them, and it's because of the two of them that I ended up in prison."

Ye Baiting poured him a cup of tea: "What's going on?"

Xiang Zi'an didn't dare to answer, and first saluted Qiu Yiqing: "Please forgive me for the crime of peeping."

He really didn't think about inquiring about Beizhen Fushi's secrets, but it was boring in the prison, and all kinds of rumors spread quickly, and he could know what cases were going on outside... He really didn't need to use his brains.

Hatred and green jaws: "It doesn't matter."

Only then did Xiang Zian step forward, took Ye Baiting's tea, drank it all, calmed down, and talked about the past.

"Before I was an aide, the Patriarch who served... I didn't mention it, but I did commit a crime. Jin Yiwei took care of him as a matter of course, but I was a newcomer in the mansion at the time, and I didn't have a heart-to-heart relationship with the Patriarch, and the Patriarch didn't trust me so much. I have never been involved in those past events, and I only found out that something was wrong after going in for a month, and I can’t leave without leaving, so I can only give him advice on how to deal with the Patriarch’s current predicament, and the person who was in trouble with the Patriarch at that time was precisely Bi Zhenghe.”

"The patriarch is alone and has nowhere to go, but Bi Zhenghe wants more than that. He also wants to take over all the power of the patriarch, including the 'family'. Of course, he only needs female relatives, not men... He added a lot of crimes, not only the patriarch was convicted, The clansmen, subordinates, including staff like this, couldn't break free. He looked solemn and tough, but in fact his mind was very dark. He didn't know how many dirty things he had done secretly. Didn't escape this."

"And Lu Ming..."

Xiang Zi'an snorted coldly: "I don't know who he is following now, but at that time, like me, he was the Patriarch's aide. He seemed talented and loyal, but in fact he was the nail that Bi Zhenghe buried among us. , or in other words, he has already prepared a way out and cooperated with Bi Zhenghe...In the end, everyone suffered, except Lu Ming who escaped, and the future is bright."

"This man is two-faced and three-faced. He can be a slave of several surnames. He was caught by the head of the family just like when he was an aide. He will never be truly loyal to anyone for his own interests.”

Xiang Zi'an reminded Ye Baiting: "If there are these two people in this case at the same time, Jin Yiwei needs to be very cautious. He would rather think about it than miss other possibilities."

So Lu Ming seems to be Zhong Xingyan's master, but in fact he may not be?

Bi Zhenghe was drunk at the beginning of the game, and fell asleep on the table all the time. In this case, his sense of presence is slightly low, but it is not?

Ye Baiting's heart turned quickly, and he asked, "Are you familiar with these two?"

Xiang Zi'an was a little helpless: "Is it? After all, I was framed before."

In fact, due to the frequent contact during that time, he has a deep memory, and it is difficult to forget these two people until now.

Ye Baiting's eyes rolled: "Then you might imitate their voices?"

Xiang Zi'an was stunned for a moment: "Of course you can, the young master means..."

"I don't have any ideas right now. If I need it, I might ask you for help," Ye Baiting smiled. "This clue is very important. Thank you for letting me know."

After Xiang Zi'an finished speaking, he relaxed now, opened the fan in his hand with a 'swipe', and said with a smile: "I am always at your disposal. If necessary, the young master can send someone to call—I will take my leave."

He came quickly and went simply.

Ye Baiting looked at the empty teacup on the table, and narrowed his eyes: "This case is interesting..."

Lu Ming seems to be Zhong Xingyan's person, but in fact he may not be. Then, under the name of Zhong Xingyan, he has managed so many businesses and earned all the money. Where did the big money go in the end?He is now loyal, no, he cannot say loyalty, he will not be loyal to anyone, he will only participate in the division of interests, who is cooperating with him?

If he found a powerful point in the matter of the mission's coming to Beijing, who would he cooperate with in the first place?Who knows his secrets the most, and who is most wary of him?

Qiu Yiqing looked at Shen Jiang: "Whether Lu Ming and Yu Linglong had an intimate relationship when they left the meeting, we must find a way to determine."

If Yu Linglong learned the secret at this time, and was killed because of this secret, then what she knew would be very important, whether it was the secret about the mission, the Eighth Prince, or the secret about Lu Ming's collaborators that others might reveal. The species is not in one direction at all.

Shen Jiang nodded, and on the small whiteboard, wiped out the relationship between Lu Ming and Zhong Xingyan as a dotted line, and put a question mark on top of his head: "Who is he? Daha seems to have ordered him to abuse him." He ran errands, and expressed his appreciation and satisfaction for him more than once. Bi Zhenghe and Zhong Xingyan had a lot of quarrels and often disagreed. When they were angry, anyone who was on the other side would attack, but it seemed that they had never attacked Lu Ming... Wait, let me see... ...I really remember correctly, Bi Zhenghe seems to be a little special to Lu Ming!"

But this is special and it is very likely that they have cooperated before, and the two sides hold each other's handle...

Shen Jiang finished flipping through his notebooks, but he didn't straighten them out, and his head grew dizzy: "Who is he working with now! No matter how you look at the network of people, you can't escape these forces!"

Ye Baiting: "Can't find evidence?"

Shen Jiang shook his head: "If you want to talk about the strength of our Jinyiwei, it goes without saying that it must be strong, but this Lu Ming is very smart, and I will seriously investigate and investigate the matter with Yu Linglong, and there may be results, but nothing else may be. , Zhong Xingyan looks smiling, and he is not useless. According to the information I visited, he is also very shrewd. His master knows what to do. He doesn't know that Lu Ming must be hiding very deep and will not leave any evidence outside. We have to It’s hard to be sure in a short time.”

Qiu Suqing held the pot and added tea to Ye Baiting: "You will know if you try it?"

Shen Jiang opened his eyes wide: "Try?"

Ye Baiting understood Qiu Yiqing's meaning, smiled slightly, holding the teacup: "That's right, maybe we can try and use the method of elimination."

"Young Master, Commander," Shen Jiang swallowed with difficulty, "Have you two forgotten something... Lu Ming is already dead?"

Everyone is dead, how to try?How to rule it out?

Ye Baiting smiled slightly: "Simple, let me ask you, what can Lu Ming do and what is he good at?"

Shen Jiang: "Business? Speculation bold?"

Ye Baiting: "Is that something that will not be disclosed to everyone, but only he, or his master Zhong Xingyan, should know?"

Shen Jiang nodded: "Sure, there are many things that need to be kept secret."

Ye Baiting: "What if other people know about these secrets?"

Others know too...

Shen Jiang's eyes widened immediately: "Then this other person must be his partner!"

He thought about it seriously and felt that there was a lot to be done about it, but where to start?Jin Yiwei is investigating the murder case, investigating and collecting evidence from the past of all the people involved in the case, but there are too many secrets to get to the core, and the time is too short. For example, Lu Ming and Zhong Xingyan's cat hiding, they only know that there must be one, but the specifics... can't be found out , how to use it to trick others?

Qiu Xunqing pointed out the direction for him: "The two of you have been busy recently, what are you most concerned about?"

"That must be a counterfeit wine business," Shen Jiang said, "If this is done, the benefits will be unimaginable."

Ye Baiting: "The diplomatic mission wants to buy alcoholic beverages in the mutual market. It must not be counterfeit alcoholic beverages. Lu Ming needs to keep this matter secret, and Daha must not be informed. This is Zhong Xingyan's idea. Bi Zhenghe may have heard of it. , the details are impossible to understand.”

Daha is a shrewd person, when did he know and how much he knew, Lu Ming may not have noticed, or he may have concealed each other's temptations. Bi Zhenghe and Lu Ming had a cooperative relationship before. I don't know if they will cooperate now, even if it is because of mutual control, Collaboration that has to be done?

"Because of the wine business, Lu Ming has had a lot of quarrels with the Su family recently." Ye Baiting leaned forward slightly, "Why don't we let them bump into each other and take a look, who knows better?"

Shen Jiang rubbed his chin: "But their identities are different, if it wasn't for the murder case, they wouldn't be able to get together."

Ye Baiting: "It's simple, we can create an opportunity, for example - let them pass by my sister's bamboo building."

Master, do you have an idea?

Shen Jiang's eyes lit up, yes: "Zhuzhilou's business is good, and it's well-known in the capital, arrange for them to have dinner there?"

"The Su family," Ye Baiting said, "I can ask my sister to order their wine, and it doesn't matter who goes."

As long as the two sides meet, won't the rest be easy?

Qiu Xunqing reminded: "Some homework still needs to be done in advance."

For example, Bi Zhenghe's attitude towards alcohol helps them understand and judge Bi Zhenghe's behavioral purpose.

"It's simple, I'll go and find out," Shen Jiang's eyes lit up, "This time we must find out Lu Ming's backstage, and see who he is sleeping with!"

Ye Baiting smiled and beckoned him to come closer: "How about us...?"

After hearing this, Shen Jiang patted the table: "Wonderful, just do it like this!"

……

On the second day, it was the end of the hour.

Ye Baiting finished the morning's work, went through the newly sent news file, saw that the time was about the same, changed her clothes, and went to Zhuzhilou.

His plan is actually not too complicated. The murder case is ahead, and there are still a lot of investigations and visits outside. Shen Jiang is very busy, and Qiu Suiqing is not idle. The news, careful investigation and sorting, and even deeper, the third prince who has been coming in has been eager to move, no movement can be left behind, but he is relatively free at present, and the autopsy has been completed. Sort out and analyze, and give timely feedback to Shen Jiangchou. This 'fishing' work can be done by the way.

There is only one thing Shen Jiang and Qiu Yiqing need to help with - invite the person who should be invited to Zhuzhilou.

If you have time to spare later, just make time, and whoever is free can come over, and Ye Baiting can arrange the rest by himself.

For the wine, he sent Jin Yiwei to report early on, Ye Baishao had already made arrangements, seeing him coming, he said: "You are in such a hurry to ask me to order wine, what are you playing?"

Ye Baiting: "Sister, I'm sorry."

"It's not troublesome. I run a restaurant, and it's normal for there to be a temporary shortage of drinks and ingredients," Ye Baishao reminded his younger brother, "I can do things, but I can't put myself in danger."

"I know."

Ye Baiting knew that Ye Baishao was worried about him, so she grabbed her sister's sleeve and shook it: "Actually, there are some people who do business for personal gain, am I also greedy for alcohol?"

"Yo," Ye Baishao pinched his face, "My younger brother is also greedy for wine, after all, how old is it, do you want my sister to prepare in advance and prepare some engagement wine for you?"

"Okay," Ye Baiting said generously, "Why don't you just order this Suji Winery? The wine is indeed delicious."

Ye Baishao gave him an angry look: "I haven't coaxed people yet, are you ashamed? The commander heard it and can't deal with you?"

Ye Baiting smiled.

Do it... Maybe it's done, but it's not the way my sister thinks.

"Okay, you do things obediently, and my sister won't bother you," Ye Baishao turned and walked out, "These poked outside are not for free, if you need something, remember to call someone!"

"understood."

There are two adjacent boxes, Ye Baiting pushed open the one on the left, and waited inside, not long after, he heard the door of the box on the right, and the waiter sent someone over, calling him 'Master Bi'. .

Today he was invited to have lunch in Zhuzhilou, but he didn't know that the person who invited him would not be able to come today, so he could only be here alone. movement.

On Ye Baiting's side, he soon welcomed his guest——Su Tu.

Su Tu received an urgent order this morning, and came to deliver wine to the proprietress of Zhuzhilou. Hearing from the proprietress that his younger brother wanted to order new wines and came for business, there was no reason why he should just come and see. When he opened the door, he found out that he was an acquaintance: "Ye... ...Young master?"

Ye Baiting got up to greet him: "Master Su, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Su Tu's eyes moved slightly, and he slid across the room. He didn't know what he thought of, and a smile appeared on his usually upright face: "The proprietress said, you have someone you like, and you want to order wine for a future marriage?"

Ye Baiting and his sister were not embarrassed to be joking, but Su Tu was a little embarrassed when he said this: "Just... ask first, and don't blame me for not distinguishing between public and private. The mission has a murder case, and Jin Yiwei is very busy. With this fate, I would like to ask a few questions related to the case by the way, I wonder if it is feasible?"

Su Tu was also generous: "Okay, why not? I'm free today, so Young Master Ye can do whatever he wants."

"please sit down."

Ye Baiting led the person to the opposite side, sat down, pondered for a moment, and asked: "Lu Ming has been to the expensive winery several times before, and mentioned cooperation matters, alluding to the 'water and wine' Dolly, and the cost is low, except for this adulteration method , did you mention fake wine or wood essence?"

"No," Su Tu snorted, "he dare not, for fear of being beaten."

Ye Baiting: "I heard that Suji Winery was attacked in the dark at night, did owner Su feel frightened?"

Su Tu: "It's worth frightening me just for a little trouble? The opponent's martial arts are not good, the difference is too great."

Ye Baiting's eyes darkened slightly: "Master, have you ever thought about why he was attacked?"

Su Tu took a cup of tea and said, "I don't know."

Ye Baiting asked again: "Is the death of Lu Ming related to the workshop owner?"

Su Tu looked into his eyes: "No."

"Lu Ming is not a good person, has the owner ever thought about eliminating harm for the people?"

"Kill him?" Su Tu narrowed his eyebrows, "I'm afraid my knife will be dirty."

"Has Master Su thought about this possibility? What hidden dangers or secrets did Lu Ming leave behind, which caused others to attack Su Ji in the dark?"

"Who is Lu Ming's secret hidden danger?" Su Tu pondered, "Zhong Xingyan?"

Ye Baiting shook his head: "Not necessarily, Jin Yiwei found out that Lu Ming has a special collection of wine in his house, which he promised to give away, but it is not the taste Mr. Zhong is used to."

When talking about wine, Su Tu's eyebrows widened, as if thinking of something, he turned around: "Wine..."

Ye Baiting leaned forward slightly, leaning closer to the table, and served Sutu more tea: "My sister's business here uses a lot of wine from your house. To be disrespectful, I can't drink your wine. Our commander is very happy." like."

Su Tu just smiled: "It's not normal for a baby like you to drink it. I was a soldier at the border. It was the hard work back then, and it is the memory now. The wine produced will inevitably be windy and sandy. My daughter said, even if When I brew sweet rice wine, there is also an indescribable smell of horse leather, and I am ordered not to drink it again. My wine is too spicy and choking. Sometimes I brew it in a hurry, and it also has a murderous taste. People who like to drink it are all like-minded people. , If you like it, you like it very much, if you don’t like it, you don’t want to taste it. If you want wine, don’t taste mine. I’ll ask my daughter to brew a batch for you later, and you’ll be satisfied.”

"Then I won't be polite, I'll go back to the wine shop to pay the bill." Ye Baiting smiled slightly, and put his fingertips lightly on the table, "You are familiar with wine, but you have done business with Mr. What flavor?"

Su Tu looked at his fingers, and said in a low voice, "Young master is asking the right person, I really know."

Ye Baiting smiled: "On the night of Lu Ming's death, you went to the banquet. That Lord Bi, really slept all the time? Or before that, did you see them avoiding conversations, talking about drinks or other things?"

"That's true. At the banquet that night, I saw the two of them talking secretly in the corner..."

Su Tu's loud voice was transmitted through the wall to the next room, Bi Zhenghe clenched his fingers instantly, thinking that you are farting
