The first work of the imperial prison

Li Xuanmo was unable to speak again.

"Ho ho..."

His throat was trembling, and the blood on the corner of his lips was increasing, and he died from the poison.

I don't know what kind of mood he is in at this moment, whether he regrets it or not, whether he is willing or not, whether those emotions of death are for others or himself.

Ye Baiting showed no mercy at all, and turned his gaze to the window: "That's right, the snow has stopped, you should die too."

How ironic isn't it?You use wind and snow to predict the death of others, and to this day, you are the one who dies.

It was unlucky for the dead to be in the room, and it was still dirty, so Shen Jiang immediately called someone in and carried the body out.

After dealing with it, he looked around, and asked Ye Baiting mysteriously: "Is what the young master said just now true? Just relying on that dangerous personality identification, you know everything?"

"How is it possible?" Ye Baiting looked at him like a fool, "I coaxed him."

Shen Jiang: ...

Psychology does have various methods and methods that laymen do not understand, but to solve such a major event as a case, it is still based on factual evidence, how can it be possible to convict a person based on guesswork?

"A person like Li Xuanmo, if I don't say that, why is he angry? If he is not angry, why is he willing to exchange with me?"

"So... we have evidence, right?" Shen Jiang only followed orders, but forgot about it.

Ye Baiting had a look of 'what nonsense are you talking about': "Of course there is evidence, there was a red cloth left at the scene of the thunder and fire bomb explosion, didn't you know that?"

Of course Shen Jiang knew, besides the two pieces of red cloth, he also knew that the commander was checking for thunder bombs and found a piece of black cloth from the jewelry store, which was exactly the same size but different in color.

Hatred and suspicion: "Except for the thunderbolts from the jewelry store, the other thunderbolts found in the investigation are also wrapped in black cloth with the same size. This kind of cloth has a characteristic, moisture-proof and insect-proof. Its natural color is black, and it turns red after burning. On the back of the scarf, there are different codes."

The first one to rush into the fire was Sun Pengyun. He might not have noticed it when he was busy, but he was not blind. In retrospect, he must know that there was such a thing. The reason why Li Xuanmo took it back was probably because he wanted to leave a way out. Frame Sun Pengyun.

Shen Jiang didn't understand again: "Then why didn't he take out the cloth while igniting the thunderbolt?"

Ye Baiting sighed: "Of course I can't take it out."

"what?"

"The thunder and fire bomb has been buried for a long time, and the black cloth has long been stuck to it. How do you take it?" Ye Baiting spread his hands, "Aren't you afraid that if you miss it, you will blow yourself up?"

Only then did Shen Jiang understand, so he had to wait for the fire to finish before picking it up, and Li Xuanmo, as the fire master's clerk, did this very conveniently and smoothly.

"The car and horse dealership was his grandfather's in-laws, he was the one who detonated the thunder and fire bombs, and he set the fire..."

Who else could be the mastermind of this case besides him!

"Come and eat—everyone has worked hard just now, so we can continue to work when we are full! The gift from the proprietress of Zhuzhilou, knowing that we are busy today, I am afraid that I have nothing to eat, so I prepared it early. The dishes are good. Let's go!"

While they were talking, there was a loud voice from outside, and the spicy and delicious smell slipped in through the crack of the door... Ye Baiting was so hungry that his saliva was about to flow three thousand feet in the wind while talking.

Suspicious and green-jawed, someone came in with a portion of the meal, and the voice was meaningful: "Today is hard work, I allow you to eat a few bites, pay attention to yourself, understand?"

Seeing that his toes were all protruding, Ye Baiting nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "I know, I know, just go and get busy, I will be obedient, and I will never get sick again!"

Inside and outside, the prisoners in the imperial prison have to be counted and carefully arrested, and the north wall of Beizhen Fusi that was blown up also needs to be explained.

Which one should not be commanded to ask questions?

Qiu Yiqing nodded and went out.

Even Shen Jiang couldn't be free, so after eating two mouthfuls of food, he had to keep busy.

Ye Baiting's identity is quite sensitive, he looks like a hero, but he is actually a prisoner in the imperial prison, of course he can't run around casually at this moment, and bring the burden of guarding to others, so he sat obediently in the warm pavilion, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.

Today's dishes are particularly rich, spicy chicken, twice-cooked pork, elbow flower mixed with red oil and garlic, mapo tofu, hoof flower soup...

You can drool just by looking at it, and it tastes even better when you put it in your mouth!Spicy and delicious, just like the taste in memory!

Ye Baiting picked up a bowl of dry rice, and what he ate was a whirlwind, satisfying his spleen and stomach, and at the end of the meal, his eye sockets were a little warm.

People in our country are always hard to leave their homeland, we know homesickness, and when we describe missing someone, we also use words like 'worried', the most greedy, the most greedy, the most wanting, the loneliest and lonely time, what we want to eat, It will always be the bite of food deep in my memory when I was a child.

Memories and reality overlap, he knows that he likes this taste, but why... there is such a special sense of familiarity?It's like the one I ate when I was a child, but I couldn't find it when I grew up, and I finally got to eat it again?

Ye Baiting wiped away the moisture from his eyes with a dazed expression. What he really misses is this smell, or...the person behind the smell?

……

Qiu Xunqing quickly finished handling the matter of Beizhen Fusi, inspected all the streets in the capital, eliminated all hidden dangers, and went to Wucheng Bingmasi to make sure that there was no more crisis, and he didn't even bother to eat, so he went straight to the police station. The horse goes out of the city to welcome the emperor back to the palace.

This process was not too long, the emperor's guard of honor was already on his way back, and when he received the message from him, the entire team was shocked, and the appearance of all the officials was different.

never mind?Danger leveled?They have nothing to do except to worry a little bit more?

How nervous!

The guard of honor of the Son of Heaven approached the city soon, just like when he left the city in the morning, the common people came out to welcome him, shouting long live, the atmosphere of the streets of the capital was lively and harmonious, except for the snow that had stopped in the morning, there seemed to be no accidents in between.

This time, he was successful in quelling the chaos, and the case was solved beautifully. All the stray thunderbolts were confiscated. The criminal bowed his head, and the emperor was very happy. The company's money and things are spread out on the table.

It was getting late, and everyone was tired today, the emperor didn't leave a commander to talk in detail, and after a few words of advice, he was sent out of the palace.

The palace and alleys of the imperial city are long, and you never know who you will meet at any corner.

For example, Qiu Yiqing "ran into" Xichang Changgong, Ban He'an who happened to be passing by.

Ban Hean has gray temples, and his expressions are calm every time, and this time is the same, as if others can't appreciate his yin and yang aura: "The commander is very careful, and the festival outside the city relies on Dongchang to help you. Check out the dangers. In this capital, we rely on our Xichang and Wucheng Bingmasi to help you guard it. For such a major event as foreign rebellion, except for your Beizhen Fusi, there is no chaos anywhere. You really save trouble. "

These words are so irritating that they are short of scolding Qiu Suqing for being thick-skinned and taking advantage of others.

Qiu Suqing didn't even raise his eyelids: "Didn't the factory owner also help me in Beizhen Fusi?"

It really helped, how could Fusi of Beizhen have been in trouble for so long, and Jin Yiwei was in such a difficult and embarrassing situation?

Ban and An Pi laughed heartily: "Where does our family need to take care of the commander's territory? Each of your people is amazing!"

Qiu Yiqing didn't have the heart to talk to him, so she passed him and wanted to leave: "Excuse me."

"Our family heard...you carried back your little master who came out of the imperial prison?"

Ban Hean turned around and looked at Qiu Xunqing's back with a smile: "The commander likes him, does he know?"

Qiu Yiqing didn't even pause in her footsteps, and continued to walk forward.

Ban He'an raised his voice: "If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing about yourself. Commander, do you know that there is a saying in the harem that says that everything can be hidden, but there is only one thing that cannot be hidden? Commander is so inhumane." , aren't you afraid that others will attack your little treasure?"

Qiu Yiqing didn't turn back, Shuo Leng Beifeng echoed his words, harsh and cold: "You can try to move."

Ban He'an: ...

He is not afraid of being threatened. At his age, he can see clearly who can be provoked, who cannot be provoked, and how he wants to be provoked. Confirmed, let's try it now - Qiu Xunqing is a character, and he didn't even plan to hide it.

"Commander, Commander, you owe our family once..."

……

Qiu Xunqing took some more business in the diplomacy, and when he walked back, it was already night and the lights were on.

The snow has stopped, and the night wind has become gentle. Although it is as cold as ever, it is very quiet, not like the blade in the morning. The silver glow is sprinkled across the clouds, and the red plums reflected are extraordinarily beautiful.

The flags of roadside wine shops are unfurled, and the windows are erected. One or two friends can be seen cooking wine around the stove and chatting soundly at night.

Qiu Yiqing seemed to have thought of something, stopped his horse, went to this restaurant, and when he came out again, he was holding a jar of Lihuabai in his hand.

Ye Baiting was sitting in front of the window of the Nuan Pavilion, flipping through a book on poisonous planting, the candle flames danced, elongating the silhouette of the person and falling on the window frame, the charcoal pot in the corner of the room was burning brightly, the water in the pot was boiling, once and for all With the cover on, he didn't notice it, and he was so absorbed in watching.

It wasn't until Qiu Yiqing opened the door and came in, the cold wind picked up, and Ye Baiting came back to his senses, only to realize that his actions seemed to be waiting for someone...

Although he really didn't, but when he saw someone, he couldn't help but say hello. He closed the book: "Is everything going well?"

Qiu Yiqing: "It's okay."

Ye Baiting saw the wine jar in his hand, it was exquisite and small, and the weight was not too big: "Pear blossom white?"

"Don't you want to taste it?" Qiu Yiqing put the wine jar on the small table at the top of the kang, took off his cloak and put it aside.

Just as Ye Baiting was about to move, he pressed down again: "I'll do it."

He brought over the small red clay stove, put it on the side of the table, and warmed the wine: "I asked someone to pass on the dishes, and I'll be here soon."

The atmosphere tonight is really good, there is snow and moon outside the window, and there are plum blossom branches stretching out in front of the window, everything is silent, and it is appropriate to have a sip of wine with friends.

Ye Baiting licked his lips, and began to think carefully: "Then I also want an appetizer?"

With his expression, Qiu Suqing doesn't even need to guess, needless to say, the food and drink must be spicy.

Ye Baiting put his fist to his lips and coughed twice: "Since you said today that I have made meritorious deeds, if you allow me to go out of line, don't say any more disappointing things." He looked at Qiu Yiqing's expression and added, "I asked Doctor, my wind-cold has completely recovered, I can eat anything, as long as it is not too much."

Qiu Yiqing didn't object, and let him order a dish of spicy stew.

Not long after, the dishes were ready to be served and the wine was warmed up. Ye Baiting was especially happy when he saw the hot pot. He rolled up his sleeves and held the pot, and poured wine for each other: "Thank you for saving your life today!"

Qiu Yiqing raised his glass and touched him: "I also want to thank you for guarding Beizhen Fusi for me."

"Huh?" After taking a sip of wine, Ye Baiting waved his hand, "I didn't do anything, it was all their own efforts, and I caused a lot of trouble... Hey, this wine is not bad, it's not that spicy, and the aftertaste is still sweet, it's delicious !"

Qiu Yiqing holds the pot and fills it up for him: "If you like it, you won't buy it for nothing." After a pause, he added, "Don't be too self-effacing."

"It's not self-effacing..."

Ye Baiting remembered what happened during the day. He stood on the wall, pressed Zhou Ping, shook the small bracelet on his wrist, and forced a confession violently. Suddenly, he felt ashamed to cover his face: "This time... I was really impulsive."

He was indeed not afraid and courageous at the time, but if something happened, he would most likely regret it, and Shen Jiang who was standing at the bottom would not be easy to deal with.

Qiu Yiqing held the wine cup with three fingers, his eyes darkened: "You seem to be very angry about this case."

This is not the first time Qiu Yiqing said this sentence, nor is it the first time Ye Baiting heard it. Maybe the wine on the table is too warm, maybe the snowy moon outside the window is too moving, and the plum branches are too enchanting. of people want to talk.

Ye Baiting picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it dry: "You know, I originally wanted to study criminal investigation—er, to be a police officer."

"Hurry up?" Qiu Yiqing disapproved, his face full of 'this is the only way to do it', "You should aspire to be a Jinyiwei."

Ye Baiting just laughed, resting his chin on his hand, and realized that this man has a strong will to win...

"Well, you're right."

With a serious face, Qiu Yiqing asked, "Why didn't you come?"

"Why……"

Speaking of this question, Ye Baiting lowered his eyes: "My teacher said that I am not suitable for criminal investigation."

Qiu Yiqing: "Why?"

Ye Baiting lowered his voice: "This profession is very special. It requires certain skills, a keen sense of smell, careful observation, and a strong mind... The requirements are very high, but no matter how good a criminal investigator is, it is impossible to cover everything. There will not be a single misjudgment..."

Therefore, the process of handling a case requires a process, and you need to learn to be calm at all times. Not to mention absolute, at least most of the time, you can restrain yourself, stay rational, and only look at the clues and facts in the process of solving a case, and do not favor any suspects or witnesses emotionally.

"I... always have great sympathy for the innocent and vulnerable people involved in the case."

It may be because of his childhood experience. He lost his parents very early and grew up under the care and warmth of the people around him. There are many, who often work morning shifts and night shifts, and older people.

His upbringing environment was not good, but he did not have a bad life. The world gave him a lot of kindness, and he almost never had too much trouble in his life. He didn't need it when he was hungry, thirsty, sick, or moneyless. Fear and worry, there are always people to help him, he likes this kind of kindness, wants to protect this kind of kindness, and hopes that he can also give back such kindness to others.

He studied psychology and knew that he had a great sense of lack in the lack of family affection, and this sense of lack made him cherish these kindnesses in the depths of his subconscious mind, or, longing for these kindnesses, fantasized about another form of these kindnesses , such as the projection of maternal love... When he grew up, it was always difficult for him to hold back the turmoil in his heart when he was persecuted against innocent women, children, or the elderly, and he was unable to remain neutral at all times.

"If the person handling the case has very strong emotions and preconceived ideas, it will affect the progress of the case, and even cause an unjust case." Ye Baiting looked at Xueyue outside the window, "But the autopsy is different. No matter what the injury is, I can’t fake it, no matter if I’m in a good mood or not, whether I suspect someone or not, the corpse will tell me the answer, and my judgment will never be wrong.”

The wine cup in hand didn't know when it was full, Ye Baiting lifted it up, drank it all in one gulp, leaned against the table, and pointed to the plum branches outside the window: "Look, plum blossoms have to withstand the severe cold to bloom in the harsh wind and frost, but I can't do it." arrive."

"The world is so difficult. Girls just want to live a good life and live an ordinary life, but only they know the malice they have suffered since they were young. Most of the time, they don't want to mention it to anyone. They just bear it silently and keep it in their hearts. , how many bitter tears there are, outsiders such as you and I don't know at all; when people encounter difficulties, it is even more difficult to seek justice. Step by step, every step is full of blood and tears. You may give everything, and in the end You can't get it back; even if you are a commander, with such a high position and such power, you can't just say what you want, and others may not do what you want. A lot of hard work..."

People's hearts are unpredictable. There are thousands of people in the world. Even good people have their own thinking. The higher you stand, the bigger the things you want to do, the harder it is.

For example, this time Qiu Suiqing's action, he only participated in the whole plan and could not participate in the action, but he knew how much thought and effort Qiu Suiqing had to spend, and he had to control the situation and people's hearts. do the best.

"Criminal investigation and solving a case, how can it be easy to face difficulties? Evidence will be hidden and discarded, criminals will escape and lie, witnesses will give false testimony, and will not cooperate. Sometimes officials have their own ideas and even participate in the corruption process. The investigators are caught in the middle, and if they want to return the truth to the world and seek justice for the victims, what they need is not only crime-solving skills, but also endless courage, endless persistence, and endless efforts... "

Ye Baiting sighed: "It's really difficult."

Qiu Xunqing refilled his wine, candlelight was shining between his brows, and a hint of tenderness came out of his cold eyes: "It's so difficult, why do you have to do it?"

Ye Baiting looked at him with his chin resting on his face, and nodded his eyes: "What about you? You're so tired, why do you persist?"

Qiu Yiqing paused while pouring wine: "There are some things that must be done."

"Yes, there are some things that must be done by someone."

Ye Baiting smiled suddenly: "Men, in this life, you always have to do one or two things, devote yourself to passionate things, always shoulder the responsibility, there are moments when you are scolded or beaten and you will never give in, there are always some Things, then some people make you willing to die."

Just like himself, he has no great prospects, and his life is focused on this industry. He is willing to dedicate everything to the ideal and justice in his heart. The most skilled and indispensable person, at least when being scolded, knows why.

"So the commander don't ask me about my crime, if I know I'm wrong—"

Ye Baiting's body suddenly leaned forward, his eyebrows were curved, and he held out a bright peach blossom: "I know I was wrong, and I will definitely regret it if something happens, but next time I encounter such a thing - I will still do it like this."

The simple summary is: I was wrong, and I will dare to do it next time.

Chou Yiqing seemed to have never seen such a frank and arrogant person before. He moved the wine glass away from his lips and raised his eyebrows: "So what you said to Shen Jiang to be the best writer in the world is not true." boast."

"Of course not," Ye Baiting took a bold sip from his glass, "In terms of professional skills, who can beat me?"

He looked at Qiu Yiqing's eyes and explained: "Choosing to do a job is not an escape, but occasionally, there will be some frustration, feeling that I am not good enough, and may drag others down."

For example, things like emotions... If they can be controlled, people are not humans, but gods.

Occasionally, he would worry if he pointed his partner in the wrong direction, if it was really wrong...

"Ye Baiting, as I said, don't underestimate me."

Qiu Yiqing put the wine glass on the table, her eyes were burning like fire: "Is there anything I can't do?"

Ye Baiting was stunned for a moment, this was the second time he saw this man's undisguised emotions, the first time was the previous smile, handsome and handsome, unforgettable, this time, it was the high-spirited self-confidence exuding from the bottom of his bones, This man is extremely strong and confident.

"Call me a commander," Qiu Yiqing lowered his eyes, and refilled the wine cup, his own, and Ye Baiting's, "I will give you the answer, it's going to be difficult, that's something I should consider."

Ye Baiting suddenly felt an indescribable sense of security, as if by this man's side, he didn't have to think about anything, he just needed to rush forward.

This man is indeed excellent. Since we met, he has never been disappointed in one thing, or in other words, there are many things that Qiu Xunqing has done to a degree that he did not expect.

Qiu Xunqing stuffed the wine cup into Ye Baiting's hand, and touched him lightly——

"Don't underestimate yourself. There is a road ahead, just go forward with great strides, the sun will accompany you, and the blade will not be behind you."

Ye Baiting was in a daze, didn't drink any wine, and stared blankly at Qiu Yiqing.

Qiu Sui Qingshou paused: "Why do you look at me like this?"

Ye Baiting's head was tilted on his elbow, and his smile was like a peach blossom in spring: "I just suddenly discovered that you are very handsome."

Qiu Yiqing suddenly reached out, pressed his head, and forced him to raise his head slightly, facing himself: "Then look more."

Ye Baiting was very obedient tonight, and she really watched a lot, staring straight at him, as if meeting this man for the first time and wanting to remember it better.

Li Huabai was a bit intoxicated, but he didn't notice it at first, after drinking a few more sips, his eyes became more and more sour, and the man in front of him was doubled.

Ye Baiting became more and more dissatisfied, and slowly frowned, "Don't move around...why don't you drink? Quick, drink!"

Qiu Yiqing put down the wine cup, his eyes became dangerous: "Are you ordering me?"

"Presumptuous!" Ye Baiting's eyes were doubled, but she couldn't distinguish her eyes clearly, and she slapped the table with her slender white palm, "How dare you talk to No. [-] in the world like this, do you want to solve the case in the future!"

Qiu Xunqing: "You are drunk."

"Presumptuous and presumptuous!" Of course Ye Baiting didn't admit it, "How can I be drunk? I'm the number one operator! Hiccup...first in technology, first in solving crimes, and number one in drinking capacity...how can I be drunk!"

He felt wrong while talking, he shook his head: "No, who are you, you dare to question my drinking capacity! No... who are you, you can drink at the same table as me!"

Qiu Suiqing: ...

He lowered his head, tasted the wine in the glass suspiciously, it wasn't spicy, and he shouldn't be so easy to get drunk.

Ye Baiting held his chin, looked at him for a while, and smiled again: "Forget it, since you can drink with me at the same table, you must be a person with good skills! Come on, drink, don't stop drinking, let's do it!"

Qiu Xunqing pressed his hand: "You can't drink any more."

"Presumptuous!" Ye Baiting narrowed his eyes, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Qiu Xunqing didn't say anything, just took his wine glass away.

"Presumptuous and presumptuous!"

Ye Baiting was very angry, when Qiu Xunqing wanted to take away his cup, he snatched it, and when Qiu Xunqing raised the wine glass high, he rushed forward——

This is wobbly, and if one is not careful, stepping into the air is almost inevitable.

"Be careful--"

Qiu Yiqing clasped his waist with his big hands, feeling a little headache: "Don't make trouble."

"You are not allowed to make trouble!"

Ye Baiting's eyes widened, and when he saw the big hands on his waist, he was angry again: "Presumptuous and presumptuous - how dare you hug my waist! I am the number one master in the world, and you can hug me? Come on, give me a hug." I get up and—"

Not only did he curse, but he also stretched out his hand to break the other person's hand with all his strength. Well, he forgot about the wine glass at the moment.

Qiu Suiqing: ...

She never expected that the drunken little gangster would be so rampant.

He has practiced martial arts all year round, and his hands are strong. In order not to hurt the young man, he could only let go of his hand, but the young man couldn't stand still, and wanted to fall on him again——

With the strength of his legs, he clamped the boy's legs.

Ye Baiting felt very strange, his feet were so soft, yet he didn't fall down?Look again, the opponent's legs are so powerful, so powerful!

"That's right, you're smart, you didn't dare to hug... hiccup... hug me, what's your name, tell me, I'll ask your commanders to reward you!"

"Commander?" Qiu Xun's green eyes dimmed, "Are you familiar with him?"

"Of course, I'm his sweetheart!"

The drunk young master Jiao was still very thoughtful, afraid that others would not believe him, so he leaned over and whispered: "Let me tell you, don't look at him always with a straight face, but in fact he has a good temper. If you are disobedient, scold him." And he won't be angry... As long as he doesn't touch the bottom line, and it's not a principled mistake, he won't be serious..."

Chou Xunqing: "If he is not angry, he will give a reward?"

"Is this..." Ye Baiting thought about it for a while, then shook his head, "At least you have to be subdued and act coquettishly? Yes! That's what Shen Jiang said, it must be true!"

Qiu Yiqing: "Did you slap him?"

"certainly--"

Before he could say the word 'no', the cunning Young Master Jiao could clearly see the other person's expression because he was too close. The man's eyes were playful and meaningful, as if he knew he was lying.

How can you lose at this time!

Ye Baiting immediately looked solemn, and his voice was sonorous: "Of course I did!"

Qiu Yiqing: "I don't believe it."

Ye Baiting thought for a while, turned out the small hand stove under the table, took out the small card at his waist, and shook the small gold bracelet in his hand——

"Did you see it? It was all given by the commander, just act like a baby!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at the man across from him again, up and down, and finally patted him on the shoulder pityingly: "Look at you, you are so pitiful, you have nothing, you have to work hard and study hard in the future, Everything will be there!"

Qiu Xunqing: "There will be?"

Ye Baiting nodded solemnly: "I told you, he is very nice, Shen Jiang should learn how to act like a spoiled child, and you can't wear a small skirt... Well, one or two, it's too embarrassing, what's the face these days In your own words..."

As he talked, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally fell directly on Qiu Yiqing, snoring a little.

Qiu Suiqing: ...

Gently put the person on the kang, adjusted to a less uncomfortable posture, and just about to withdraw his hand, he was grabbed.

Ye Baiting grabbed his hand and rubbed it on the side of his face: "It's more...delicious..."

Qiu Yiqing's eyes darkened slightly: "Ye Baiting, let go."

Ye Baiting was dead asleep, and he could still talk to him in his sleep: "Don't..."

Qiu Yiqing glanced at the young man's too fair wrist and the small red-gold bell on his wrist, and said in a hoarse voice, "If you don't let go...you will have no chance."
