talk about the case

Yan Queqing and Qiqi, who were missed by many people, came to the government office at this moment and found their old colleague Qiu Yicheng. He was Yan Queqing's colleague in the Mushi Mansion of Tianxuan Kingdom. Because Qiu Yicheng had no background and offended others, Rejected by others, he had no choice but to come to Yinlu Country to be a petty official.

When Qiu Yicheng heard that Yan Queqing had arrived, he happily went out to greet him, "Brother Yan, why are you here, we haven't seen each other for a long time, come, go have a drink, I'll treat you."

Yan Queqing clasped his hands and said, "It was a friend who felt doubtful about the number puzzle case. He asked me to come and take a look. I'm going to trouble you again. I haven't seen you for almost seven or eight years. Your spirit is getting better and better."

Qiu Yicheng laughed loudly, "It's fine to leave the Profound Sky Kingdom, and you don't have to bother someone who's perinealing yourself all day long. You, you're too polite. I used to bother you all day long."

"I want to see the four bodies now."

Qiu Yicheng led the way, "Come here, it's in the morgue, I said your friend is powerful enough, these four corpses are placed now, none of the four dead is dissatisfied, and they use formations to protect those corpses, who is so capable?" .”

Yan Que said honestly, "Actually, I'm also guessing."

"You! You made friends with someone without knowing the details, so be careful."

Yan Queqing saw the corpse and nodded absently. Qiqi was short and couldn't see anything anyway, so he let him in too.

After a while, "Why are the numbers on Guan Bin's palms special? They are deeply embedded in the bones of his hands, especially the character 'six'. The 'six' character on the rest of the corpses is also not like this."

Qiu Yicheng walked in and took a look, "It's true, why?"

Yan Queqing shook his head.

Qiu Yicheng recalled the mystery case of numbers, because four people died and one was a high-ranking official, the memory is still fresh and it is hard to forget, "This case has been closed, the murderer turned himself in and explained how he committed the crime, but..."

Seeing someone entering the morgue, Qiu Yicheng hesitated, covered the corpse with a white cloth, and came to a quiet tree with Yan Queqing and said, "I personally feel that the Shao family has something to hide."

Yan Queqing wondered, "Then why don't you continue to investigate?"

Qiu Yicheng shook his head and smiled, "You are still the same as before, but I dare not. The deceased is a third-rank official, and I am just a small sixth-rank official. I really can't care if his family hides anything."

Yan Queqing nodded, no matter what country, as long as there is a social hierarchy, it is difficult to cross the boundaries. "Do you have anyone to suspect?"

"To be honest, people around the four deceased had motives to kill them." Qiu Yicheng paused for a while, carefully recalling the details in the case and said, "The official must have enemies, and the scholar's fierce words offended many classmates. The prodigal son is pursuing, the merchant has made a lot of money recently, and some relatives also want to share, if he is not for his powerful force, there will be constant disputes."

Qi Qi stays quietly beside Yan Queqing, although he is a bit chubby, he is a little bit small to adults, and he always hides behind Yan Queqing, Qiu Yicheng only knows Qi Qi's existence at this moment.

Yan Queqing saw Qiu Yicheng staring at Qiqi curiously, "This is my adopted one, named Qiqi."

Qiu Yicheng frowned and said, "Why do you take the child with you when you handle the case, and what to do if you teach the bad child."

"If you don't take him, he's going to cry. Anyway, he's interested in solving the case, so just avoid some bloody violence." Qi Qi nodded behind Yan Queqing, and said softly, "I'm not young, I can help Qing Clear."

Seeing this, Qiu Yicheng didn't want to say anything more, since he was young, maybe he will become a great detective in the future, "Recently there have been a lot of things, a monk's body was found last night."

"Actually, I was the one who found the body."

"I knew it. When I saw the handwriting in that pamphlet, I wondered if it was you."

Due to the fact that small towns in small countries have very low ability to investigate and verify cases, inspectors are deceiving, low-level officials are scheming, and they are not willing to approach the corpse. In addition to reporting, he will also submit all the records of the situation to the government for them to decide. It is best if the government is willing to ask him for help, and if not, he has nothing to do.

Along the way, Yan Queqing also asked about the monk and about the woman. After all, the woman's life and death were uncertain, and she left such a strange poem.

Qiu Yicheng was surprised, "This poem is very strange. I also know Panxuan. She has a good literary talent. Could it be written by someone else?"

Yan Queqing shook his head, "I asked, that poem came out after the woman appeared, there were few people in that manor, not even anyone who could read, and the traces were left recently."

Qiu Yicheng thought, "I have sent someone to check, there are women in the brothel named Panxuan, and it is possible that the brothel women left behind."

Yan Queqing shook his head, "The soft shoes are embroidered with exquisite patterns with gold thread, and the fabric is expensive. Such shoes should be commonly used by women or make a living. They are not brothels or opera singers, but dancers."

Qiu Yicheng thought it was reasonable and said, "There is only one dance hall in the town, where can I go to see, and there is that monk, I checked, and there is no such person among the registered monks, I guess it is a wild monk or a villain pretending to be a monk."

Yan Queqing also has doubts about this point, after all, there are very few monks who have a vicious look on their faces, and who are unfaithful to women.

Qiu Yicheng saw a yamen servant on the road and entrusted him to take care of Qiqi temporarily. They were going into the government yard, and it was inappropriate to take children with them, so Qiqi and the yamen servant temporarily sat and waited in the opposite restaurant.

With Qiu Yicheng present, Yan Queqing entered Shao's house smoothly.

The servant brought Qiu Yicheng and Yan Queqing into the door, let them wait in the garden first, and he went to report.

Yan Queqing looked at the surrounding environment, and looked at the lobby in the distance, which was even more luxurious and gorgeous. There were portraits of Shao Hai and his ancestors on the top of the lobby.But everyone is dignified and serious, with no smile, and the black-and-white picture makes the portrait a bit terrifying and angry.

Later, Yan Queqing and the others were allowed to follow the servants into the dining hall.

It just so happened that everyone in the Shao family gathered together for breakfast except for the male official.

Qiu Yicheng took a step forward to speak, and cupped his hands in a humble tone, "You guys are bothering me a lot. I'm here to check the information on Mr. Shao's murder case. I won't disturb you for too long."

Some people didn't pay much attention to them. After all, the murderer surrendered himself, so what's the use of investigating this case.Some looked impatient, and one aunt was full of sarcasm and disdain, and said directly, "Ah, what's the matter, the murderer is about to be executed, you still come, being a petty official is really very idle."

Mrs. Shao hugged her little grandson and fed the porridge kindly, pretending that the two of them were transparent, and the child's mother, Mu Qing, was sitting beside her.

The female relatives sitting at the big table all looked up high and high, while some of the little aunts behind them dared not speak with shrunken shoulders. It was clear at a glance who had a high status here and who could be poked at will.

Yan Queqing observed them carefully, and when he saw the cute little fat baby, he congratulated him, "Congratulations to the Shao family for their grandson. This kid is fat and smart, and he will definitely be a dragon and phoenix in the future." Let's talk.

Sure enough, Mrs. Shao took a look at Yan Queqing, with a happy expression on her face.

Yan Queqing responded with a smile, feeling strange in her heart, why the child's mother didn't dare to look at her, she wasn't the kind who was arrogant and disdainful, but kept deliberately avoiding his eyes, observing carefully, her hands trembled slightly, Look a little nervous.

Yan Queqing said, "The murderer turned himself in due to the position of the Shao family. It's just that an official should be responsible to the common people. What's more, the young lady and wife are not ordinary people, and they can't be perfunctory. They have to be thoroughly investigated."

Before the murderer surrendered, the Shao family did indeed call on the people of Yinlu Country to arrest the murderer. Many people thought that the murderer surrendered because he was afraid of revenge from the Shao family.

One sentence satisfies the vanity of these women present very well, and they also look better on their faces.Seeing this, Yan Queqing asked some questions, and they cooperated as much as possible.

These hypocritical and vain people are actually the best to deal with.

Will Mr. Shao stay alone only after he goes to court? "

The old lady Shao personally replied, "Yes, when he is old, he usually needs someone to take care of him, and he can't do without someone at night. Only during the period from the court to lunch, he has to handle official duties alone. No one in the family dares to take care of him." to get in his way."

After asking some more questions, Yan Queqing and Qiu Yicheng resigned.

In fact, Qiu Yicheng and the others also asked about these things, and the answers they got were similar, but Yan Queqing's purpose was not these.

As soon as they stepped out of the gate, the yamen servant and Qiqi were already waiting outside. Qiqi squatted down and rested her chin on her hands, looking at everything around her with sparkling eyes, when she saw Yan Queqing came out and grabbed him, she raised her smiling face happily "Qingqing, where are we going later? Can we go for a stroll after we're done?"

Yan Queqing smiled and nodded.

Qiu Yicheng wanted to ask Yan Que to clarify some things, but the yamen servant told him that the adults wanted to find him, so Qiu Yicheng had no choice but to leave first.

Knowing the way, Yan Queqing went to the dance hall by himself. On the way, Qiqi came here to look around. When he saw a martial arts club next to the dance hall, Yan Queqing simply went in for a stroll.

As the name suggests, the warrior club is a place for warriors, but it not only provides food and accommodation for warriors, but also issues missions, test levels, exchange items, etc. As long as it is about warriors, almost everything can be solved here. Large tribes in every country will There is a club like this.

Yan Queqing came here for nothing else, just to buy spirit flesh.The most harvested by warriors during their training is often spiritual herbs and spirit beasts. Small countries often don't have many options to sell these items, and warriors are handed over to the warrior club to solve them.

The steward, Yan Queqing, came to the spirit beast room. The live spirit beasts were sold and sold in front of it, and the meat of the spirit beasts was cut up inside. The steward pointed to the inside and said, "It's all here. You are also an expert. Not much to say, it’s just that the number of spirit beasts has decreased a lot recently, and the price will rise, the price tag is here, you can decide for yourself.”

Yan Queqing didn't look at the price tag at all, no matter how expensive it was, he wanted to eat it, not to mention he was rich!Rolling up her sleeves and picking and picking for a while, she bought a large amount of soul meat, while Qi Qi took the opportunity to look elsewhere, bought some things mysteriously with her private money, and the two left satisfied.

Yan Queqing asked Qi Qi who was smiling very happily, "What did you buy, and you are smiling so happily."

Qiqi smiled and said, "Secret, you will know it later."

"There's still a secret, she really has grown up."

At this moment, Yan Queqing felt a sharp pain all over his body, and almost fainted uncontrollably, Qiqi hurriedly caught it with his small body, but Yan Queqing tried his best to restrain himself, he was poisoned.Exercising lightness kung fu and moving towards Xiuran's residence, Qiqi didn't understand why Yan Queqing suddenly changed like this. When he coughed up a mouthful of blood, his mind went blank, and he was instantly bewildered.
