The first work of the imperial prison

No, how did you know how to catch the murderer?Why don't I know!

In a quiet room, there was no sound, Shen Jiang looked at Young Master Jiao helplessly, and just... give me some hints, okay?

Everything is on the right track, the direction is very clear, Ye Baiting is in a good mood: "Shen Baihu doesn't think there are suspects that can be ruled out?"

"Xu, Xu Liangxing, right?" Shen Jiang scratched the back of his head, "everything has him, the most important position for him is to be avenged, not a murderer, Princess Yun'an, I don't think he's touched anywhere, at least for now Didn't find out, is there any relationship between her and Ziyuan? If they know each other and have a good relationship, it will be different. And her suitor, Le Ya, a musician in the palace, is probably not much different from Ziyuan in terms of age? Ziyuan was so famous at that time, anyone who learned the piano must have heard of it, and those who are highly skilled may have also learned from it, so we need to find out the relationship... The age of the musician Shi Mi of the Miaoyinfang and the doctor of the medical center are very delicate. They are all in the year of reaching the crown, and in the past few decades, they are all children of eleven or twelve years old, just right!"

"more than."

Qiu Yiqing spoke slowly: "I remember that when I asked for a confession, Doctor Chang Shan mentioned that his wife's surname is Zi."

Both are named Zi, how could it be such a coincidence?

Shen Jiang immediately understood this point: "Then, isn't Zi's activities at night very free? Her husband runs a medical clinic outside, and there are men's shoes at home. She wants to disguise herself and commit crimes. It is not silent, no one knows. ?”

"Master Jiao, you are amazing. Why did you ask Chang Shan if he was married? Did you expect that!"

Master Jiao?

Ye Baiting didn't know that all along, in the other party's heart, these three words were his real name, but——

"It's really a coincidence."

At that time, he felt that the doctor Chang Shan seemed to have a gentle temperament, and his figure was not tall and mighty. The medical clinic was open at night, and most of the patients he treated might be very special, but he seemed quiet, so he was a little curious. Won't worry?

"It's just a coincidence, it's not important—" Shen Jiang was concerned, "How to arrest people? Didn't you say you knew?"

Ye Baiting nodded: "Xuan Ping Hou got the willow."

"yes……"

"His illness was earlier than Zhuang's Shen Ronghua."

"so?"

"He's on the killer list—very important."

"Yeah, but isn't he dead? He's just drunk to death, not really dead!"

Ye Baiting sighed.

Chou Yiqing couldn't bear the stupidity of his subordinates, so he said bluntly: "You take someone and go to follow and guard Xuan Pinghou yourself. If anyone wants to kill him, just hold him down and bring him back."

"what--"

Shen Jiang finally realized: "That's right, the murderer has already killed two people, how could he let him go? He will definitely do it! As long as we follow along, can't we follow the clues?"

Baihu was very excited, and after saluting, he went out: "The sky is dry, the night is dark and the wind is high, it is a good time to commit murder, maybe today... I will go right away, wait for my good news!"

Ye Baiting blinked, are you leaving, what about me?Just put me here?

The room became quiet all of a sudden, even the wind blowing through the corner of the window was cautious, walking along the wall, for fear of disturbing anything.

Qiu Yiqing stood up and walked out of the case: "Good performance, what do you want?"

This means... is there a reward?

Ye Baiting looked at Qiu Yiqing, and really wanted to say that I wanted to tell the truth.Do you even know who I am?Do you know what I did in prison?Are you indulging, cooperating, or pushing the boat with the flow, calculating more?

Shen Jiang has already been beaten, and he has walked in and out of the prison more than once. He doesn't believe in Qiu Xingqing, the commander, who doesn't know, but the other party hasn't revealed it for a day, so he can't be 100% sure. What if?What if he just escaped?Wouldn't self-disclosure be shooting yourself in the foot?

He looked at it for a while, his eyes were very focused, and he could clearly see the black line of hatred at the tip of his eyes, the long and dense eyelashes like crow feathers, and the faint starlight when the other party's eyes slid over, as if hiding thousands of years ago. The depth of mountains and rivers.

Ye Baiting suddenly felt that he was not alone.

It's not that I am doubting, contradicting, or hesitating alone, but the other party is too.Qiu Yiqing must also be thinking, all the arrangements, all the water has passed without a trace, and the seemingly absent attention, have you noticed it?How much did you notice?Qiu Xunqing must also want to ask him if he knows what he is doing as a commander, what is he thinking in his heart, and how he plans to deal with it?

But Qiu Suiqing didn't dare to ask.What if?What if I was actually a fool and didn't notice anything?When he asked, didn't he deliberately reveal the secret?

Ye Baiting's eyes widened, and he smiled, suddenly in a good mood: "The Commander asked so suddenly, it's hard for the subordinates to answer, I don't know if the Commander has a plan in mind, what do you want to reward?"

Qiu Xunqing's gaze moved down, and it happened to land on Ye Baiting's shirt.

Ye Baiting was instantly alert, this is not allowed!Eat, drink, play and do whatever, just don't want a small skirt!

His mind turned sharply, and he was just trying to find a way to change the other party's mind, when he suddenly heard a movement at the small door connected to the prison, da da, da da, don't be too familiar with him, this is a dog running over!

He walked over quickly, and the door closed with a 'snap'.

"Ow—woof?"

Xuanfeng stopped the car abruptly, so he didn't bump his head against the door, what's going on?Why isn't this door wide open for General Dog!It clearly smelled the master's smell!angry!

There were only two paws scratching the door, and then he gave up, and the dog didn't bark, probably because he knew he couldn't get in, so he left?Or lie outside?

Ye Baiting knew that Gouzi was a good boy, and said in his heart that he was sorry this time, and that he would make you the best horse to kill chicken later.

Qiu Yiqing looked over with long and narrow eyes: "Huh?"

Ye Baiting was very calm: "The damper is wide open, isn't the commander cold?"

Qiu Yiqing glanced at him from top to bottom, and his voice was slow and unintelligible: "If you are afraid of the cold, choose less food."

Ye Baiting: ...

Or do you dislike him for being too thin and tell him to eat more and grow more flesh?

Why am I 'picky eater', you don't know!As far as the food you sent to prison, no one would pick a normal person!

……

The night was far away, the dark alley was deep and silent, Shen Jiang personally led people to squat outside Xuanpinghou's mansion.

Just now, the subordinate who went to inquire sent a message saying that Xuan Ping Hou didn't know what happened tonight, he didn't sleep well, he changed his clothes and wanted to go out, and he said he wouldn't take anyone with him... such a good opportunity, he couldn't help it. Will not let go, let alone the murderer?

He feels that today is coming, there must be a show!

"Stay calm, don't talk, keep an eye on obediently, it's done, I invite you to drink!"

"Yes!" Everyone spread out according to the direction of the formation, hiding in the vast night.

After waiting for a long time, Xuan Ping Hou really came out, with only a long entourage behind him, he came out through the corner door, sneaking around, not knowing what he was going to do.

The master and servant didn't take a few steps, a person came across the side street diagonally, not tall and very thin...

The atmosphere was tense instantly, and the Jin Yiwei who was squatting on guard was about to move, Shen Jiang made a gesture of pressing his hand, signaling to be quiet and not to act rashly——

When the person approached, he could see clearly that it was a woman with a dagger in her hand, approaching step by step, heading straight for Xuan Pinghou!

"Go!"

Everyone else had sharpened their knives, Shen Jiang probably watched, and immediately led people over, clattering in a row, surrounding the women in the middle.

"Let go, let it go!" Xuan Pinghou's frightened voice became thinner.

A row of embroidered spring knives pointed at the woman, and she probably couldn't run away. Shen Jiang turned to look at Xuan Pinghou, with a smirk: "It's so late, Master Hou should go home and rest. It's a night trip, but don't worry about it." It's safe."

Of course, Xuan Pinghou didn't miss the strong killing intent in the woman's eyes, he turned around and walked towards his house with his sleeves: "The world is going down, people's hearts are not old, hum!"

The gate of Xuanping Hou's mansion was closed again, Shen Jiang turned back, looked at the woman pointed at by Xiu Chundao, and narrowed his eyes: "Tell me, who is it, what is its name, and what do you want to do when you come out to work at night?" ah?"

"You got me."

The woman slowly raised her head, her eyes were red: "That's right, I wanted to kill Xuan Pinghou. I also killed Shen Huarong and Mrs. Zhuang. I killed them all—my name is Zisu."

Shen Jiang was immediately excited, the case was solved!The surname Zi must have something to do with Ziyuan!This time the murderer is a woman!

"What are you still doing, take it away—"

Shen Baihu turned around gracefully, and ordered his subordinates to act quickly. He wanted to go back immediately and command Master Jiao to show his merits!

But the man hadn't moved much, when a clear male voice suddenly came from behind: "Fool, why do you want to take the blame for your husband?"

Chang Shan, the doctor of the medical center, separated from the crowd, walked over, sighed, and grabbed the dagger in Zisu's hand: "Obviously I killed the person."

Shen Jiang's eyes widened suddenly, which was exciting!Two murderers?Still rushing to act?Could it be that he has been on duty for too long and his mind is confused?

Wake up and look again, the scene is still the same, the husband and wife are looking at each other, neither of them is smiling, and the corners of the wife's eyes are red, both sides' eyes are filled with deep affection and worry for each other.

This perilla is Chang Shan's wife?That's right, Chang Shan did say that he has married a wife, and his wife's surname is Zi!So who killed this man?Wife, husband, or both?

Chang Shan was about to grab the dagger and hand it over to Jin Yiwei, Zisu let go, and clenched her fingers even tighter: "No, I killed the man, you are the one, don't take the blame for me casually... what I do is What I did, I don't want anyone to help me excuse it!"

Chang Shan lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Jiang: "Sorry, my lord, my wife is stubborn, but she is really a kind-hearted person. She doesn't even dare to kill chickens on weekdays, so how dare she kill someone? Please forgive me, let her go and take her with you." Let me go, man, I killed it."

"No, I killed it!" Zisu suddenly stood in front of Chang Shan and stretched out her arms to protect him, "Don't arrest my husband. He has healed and administered medicine in his life, and he has lived countless lives. He has never harmed a single person. It was me... I did it all!"

She looked back at her husband, tears kept falling: "Don't be like this, okay? Please, I did these things, I owe you, and I will pay you back in my next life... Be a good wife then, listen carefully If you say it, I will grow old together with you, don't do this..."

Chang Shan sighed, and hugged her: "You are my wife, how can I not know you as a person? I have promised you, the harp and the harp, the white head and the old age together, but after all, the demons are hard to get rid of. In this life, we can't be together. You are together, be good and go back," he kissed his wife's eyebrows, "huh?"

"No, don't...you're not...you're not..."

"It's me." Chang Shan let go of his wife, turned around, and looked at Shen Jiang, "Let go of my wife, take me away."

Shen Jiang laughed angrily, what is one or two Lao Tzu?Believe whatever you say, just be deceived by you!

"Don't even think about running away, take them all back to me!"

Shen Jiang raised his face, not in a very beautiful mood, thinking that this was meritorious service, but there was something else to do!He wanted to strike while the iron was hot, go back and notify the commander as soon as possible, and then find Master Jiao to give him a kiss, but when he returned to Beizhen Fusi, he found... these two people were still in the same room?

No, he just went out for a while and came back, why are you two still... have you played for a round, or have you been confronting each other?What on earth have you guys done!

Ye Baiting's expression was innocent, because the dog was guarding the door, and Qiu Yiqing didn't seem to want to leave. The two expressed their opinions on the topic of 'picky eaters', and for some reason, they ordered food and ate together. a supper.

The night is cold, and it is not easy to buy forbidden dishes at night. There is a pot in the kitchen, which has meat and vegetables, and it is warm to eat.

Probably missed the meal because he was too busy. Qiu Yiqing was really hungry and ate a lot. Ye Baiting noticed that he liked to eat strong food, but that was all. Say something.

But the food is really delicious.Shin Kang also came just in time.He had just finished eating the pot, had just taken it away, and was thinking about how to say goodbye, when Shen Baihu came, bringing...a surprise?

Shen Jiang's reaction was a bit slow, and he also smelled the pot. He almost accused his boss on the spot of being inappropriate. He ran outside alone, but you are better off, kidnapped Master Jiao's delicious food to relax, isn't the world of two people!

However, the case is important, and his professional integrity of Shen Baihu is much higher than these two!

"This trip has been fruitful. I went out for a short stay and brought back the two murderers." He quickly described the situation at that time in detail.

Ye Baiting was slightly surprised: "Two murderers? This is interesting."

Shen Jiang: "Isn't it? In our line of work, we are used to seeing each other blame each other and frame each other. This is the first time that we are vying to identify the murderer."

What else is there to say, just ask for it.

Qiu Yiqing made a gesture, and the Jinyi guards moved immediately, and rearranged the desks in the room. The commander must sit in the first seat, and the next seat...is still Ye Baiting, Shen Baihu has no seat.

What's so surprising about something you're used to?Shen Jiang wiped his face: "Then the subordinate brought someone in?"

Qiu Yiqing: "Come."

Zi Su and Chang Shan were quickly brought to the room.The wind blows all the way to calm down, the husband and wife's expressions are no longer as excited as they were just now, and their emotions are leaking, Chang Shan's face is silent, Zi Su's eyes are slightly red, and there is no trace of crying.

Qiu Yiqing glanced past the husband and wife: "Which one of you will speak first?"

Zisu kowtowed: "This lord of a hundred families saw me commit the murder with my own eyes. I killed Shen Huarong and the Zhuang family too. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to search the two previous spots carefully. Yin location, where no one usually walks, there should be my footprints. You can also go to my house to search, at the bedside of my husband and wife bedroom, near the wall, the mattress is lifted, there is a blue bird jade pendant, which once committed murder on me When I fell into a pool of blood, the blood stains are hard to remove, and they are still there today."

Oh well, this evidence also matches up!Shen Jiang nodded again and again, needless to say, the murderer is this Zisu!

Qiu Yiqing was calm: "Why do you want to kill these two people?"

"Why?" Zisu smiled palely, "Your Excellency may not know about the past ten years. Ten years ago, there was a woman named Ziyuan who was murdered to death in Xishan. She is an orphan, given her surname and adopted by her. She has been with her since she was five or six years old, and knows who she is best. She is warm, kind, has pursuit in her heart, and has a bottom line in her actions. No matter what outsiders think of her, she always Doing what should be done, even though she is a woman, she has integrity, and has never wronged anyone, but why can others be so cruel!"

"... During that period of time, the period of time after she disappeared, how long, no one was alive, no dead body was seen, the adoptive father never gave up, slowly, bit by bit, everything was investigated, it was the group of beasts Do it! Marquis Xuan Ping, Shen Huarong, Zhuang Shi, Xu Liangxing, none of them are innocent! However, ordinary people have no way to take revenge, and even though the adoptive father tried his best, he did not seek justice. When he was dying, he advised us to think about it and move on. Look, he said that his adoptive mother is his wife. They are of the same mind, live in the same bed and die in the same hole. He has the responsibility to do this, but we don't. He hopes that we can live well and have a safe and smooth life, so that he and his adoptive mother can smile happily ...But how is it possible? Why are such good people like them dead, but others are alive! I just don't!"

Zisu's eyes were burning with hatred: "I learned the piano with my adoptive mother, and I have a small reputation in the market. I have thought of various methods and used various channels to understand and monitor these people. If you don't believe me, you can go to investigate and ask questions. Believe in my piano, I can also play for you on the spot, "Autumn Frost Tune" is a famous song created by my adoptive mother, and I am very good at it."

Qiu Xunqing tapped the table with his knuckles: "What is the specific plan and how to kill it, please tell me in detail."

Zi Su: "As I said just now, the hatred in my heart has never gone away. I have been staring at these people for many years. I know all about their temperament and what they like to do. I heard that Shen Huarong and Xu Liangxing got Hongmei's veil. I I knew the opportunity was coming. My husband has a lot of experience in treating Hualiu, and he is the only one in the whole city who can cure it well. I will be the first to know who is sick and who has seen it. I am also very clear about the extent of the disease. I didn't kill them right away, but waited for them to be tortured by the disease, rejected by the people around them, and I did it when they were sick enough. No special preparation is needed, as long as they know when they will see my husband next time Yes, squatting is very convenient."

Qiu Yiqing: "Oh, you squat to guard the dead."

"Yes."

"What about after that?" Qiu Yiqing looked at the woman kneeling in the hall, her eyes were fixed, "You squatted on someone, how did you lead them to the dark alley? And how did you kill them?"

Zisu lowered her head and twisted her fingers together: "This...it's shameless to say so, but I think I'm pretty, and it's not difficult to seduce a man in the dark night. As for Mrs. Zhuang...she is not a good person , any woman, any outstanding point, is the goods in her eyes, if I pretend, I can attract her to meet. As for how to kill... huh, didn't you all see it?"

"Tie their hands and feet from behind, let them kneel on the ground, put the dagger around their necks, and drain their blood... I tied the cowhide knot very tightly, just to grind the blood, they are not worthy Die happily, and when everything is over, sprinkle paper money to comfort the souls of my adoptive parents."

"The details of these cases, I don't believe that you have made a lot of publicity and told them all. If I am not the murderer, why do I know?"

Zisu bit her lip and finished speaking, then looked at her husband, with water in her eyes: "I'm sorry... I failed you. You are a good person, you should look forward, don't go your own way for me, and jump into the pit of fire."

The room was suddenly quiet, and a needle could be heard.

Shen Jiang frequently winks at Young Master Jiao, and even the details are right. He can tell that he didn't run away this time. This Zisu must be the murderer!

Ye Baiting ignored him, pondered for a moment, and looked at Qiu Yiqing.

Qiu Yiqing's expression was similar to Ye Baiting's, neither joy nor disappointment, he paused for a moment, and pointed to Chang Shan: "What about you, do you have anything to say?"

Chang Shan kowtowed first: "My wife has a stubborn personality. I was stimulated by these things in the early years. I have always been afraid that people around me will have trouble again, and I am acting extreme. Please forgive me. I am willing to bear all the blame."

"You killed people?"

"Yes."

"Then how do you explain what she just said?"

"My lord, I did it all."

Chang Shan turned his head to look at his wife: "I hid the dagger, the blue bird jade pendant that fell is mine, I tied the two people, I knelt on them, and I scattered the paper money, don't you... Did you see it all? Were you scared at the time? Sorry to make you sad again."

Zi Su shook her head: "No..."

"You have gone through all these pains, so why not me? You are the child of adoptive parents, so why not me? You and I are both orphans. We are loved by them, trained by them, learned a skill, and can make a living in the future. How can we... Lucky."

Chang Shan closed his eyes: "You learn piano from your adoptive mother, and I study medicine from your adoptive father. Although you don't have much future, you can live a good life. The life is not bad. Your adoptive father and adoptive mother are alive in heaven, so you should be very relieved. But you You can't do this kind of thing just to protect me, it's not worth it, and it shouldn't be."

He raised his head and looked up, with a calm gaze: "My wife is a weak woman, how can she control someone? How did she call him into a dark alley? She is willing to smear herself with her name, but I want to persuade you to say a word." Don't listen. My wife will occasionally have a little temper with me, and she has to be pampered when she is too coquettish, but she will never do such a thing in her life. The integrity of my adoptive mother, her persistence and requirements, taught us to be What to do, what to do, what is absolutely not allowed, my wife is deeply affected by it, and it will never be like this."

"I did it. When Shen Huarong and Mrs. Zhuang were seeing a doctor, I pretended to have something to explain, very privately, implying that they would go to the alley later, and I laid an ambush in advance. When they entered, I immediately knocked them unconscious, and then tied them up. Alright, order them to kneel... and then kill them, as my wife just said. I did these things in secret, no one knew, I don’t know why my wife knew, maybe she was worried and came to see me, and I saw it by the way, It may also be that after I killed someone, my daily expression inevitably changed, and she noticed it, and secretly investigated... But all of this has nothing to do with her."

"The blue bird jade pendant is probably the biggest suspicious point, but it was given to me by my wife. I carry it with me every day. I accidentally dropped it when I committed an attack. The blood stains couldn't be washed off. So I hid it. My wife will know, probably I also saw it..."

Chang Shan said, and glanced at his wife: "I said why you always bring up the past with me recently, I know. I'm sorry, I ignored you when I made this decision, but this is what I have always wanted to do thing."

Zisu shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks: "No, you can't bully me like this... You obviously didn't do it, why do you admit it? Why do you admit it!"

Chang Shan sighed again: "You idiot, although you can play the piano and seem motivated, do you understand the human body? You didn't like the smell of medicine since you were young, and you can't even recognize acupuncture points. You know where the deadly part of a person is and how to use the knife. Convenience, which angle saves effort, how to make people die quickly, and how to make people die painfully?"

Zi Su cried so hard that she couldn't speak.

Chang Shan held her hand: "I know you love me, but it's wrong and you can't, you let yourself go, and me too, okay?" He took her hand and gently folded it on her lower abdomen , "It's still early in the month, so I can't be sure, so I didn't tell you... I'm going to be a mother, so don't make things difficult for yourself, okay?"

"Sorry, I can't protect you anymore."
