Chapter 268: Moat on a Rainy Night
Chapter 268
With this kind of visual condition, if the other party is bent on hiding, he may not be able to find him.
Cui Ning motioned for the messenger to approach quietly, and asked loudly, "Who is there!"
If the young man was suddenly asked, he might have revealed his whereabouts, but there was no movement for a long time. Just as Cui Ning was about to order the servants to rush over directly, a little warm yellow slowly lit up in the darkness in front of him.
The nearest errand officer was afraid that he would be run away by the gangsters, so he rushed directly without waiting for Cui Ning's order.
In the flickering lights flickering on, a long figure was revealed, holding a lamp in one hand and an umbrella in the other.
When the officer arrived in front of the man, he saw him suddenly collect his umbrella and throw out a circle of water droplets, and the head of the umbrella "banged" against the officer's chest.
In the night rain, the faint light reflected a handsome face, he did not wear an official uniform, a dark robe covered with wide sleeves, and his hair was not combed as usual, but half rolled and scattered behind him, a few strands of hair were scattered and half hung on the side of his face, and the cold and hard contours were lined with a little softer, quite uninhibited.
Cui Ning recognized him at a glance, "Fifth brother!"
It was clear that the black clothes were almost dissolved in the darkness, and her face was as cold as ice, but in her eyes, it was like the sun and the moon.
Wei Qian looked at Cui Ning, his expression was like ice warm, and he suddenly became soft.
"This is the Inspector Wei Changyuan, Lord Wei. Cui Ning said.
Wei Qian and Cui Ning were invited by Peng You to judge the case before they entered the yamen, so most people didn't know that they had come in person after the supervision order.
The messengers put away their guards one after another and bowed their hands, "I've seen Lord Wei!"
Wei Qian said, "No courtesy." ”
Cui Ning walked up quickly, Wei Qian took the opportunity to move the umbrella to her head, lowered his eyes and looked carefully, and saw that most of her body was wet, and couldn't help frowning.
Seeing that he was not very happy, she thought that she was going to be counted, but he didn't say anything to blame, but silently untied his clothes and put them on her.
He had an inconvenient hand, so Cui Ning consciously put on his clothes, and asked, "When did the fifth brother come, did you find anything?"
Wei Qian didn't say it explicitly, but took her directly to the place where the body of the little girl was found.
Cui Ning ordered people to light up all the lanterns and gather them, and then looked at the ground, and couldn't help sighing.
There is no road near the place where the body is abandoned, and the vegetation on the river bank is dense, although it is not easy to leave obvious footprints, but the grass and trees will be trampled down everywhere they pass, but it is a pity that the first time the body is found, there is no attention to protecting the scene, resulting in too many people coming to salvage the body, and now a large area of wild grass around has been trampled down, and it is too difficult to find clues.
"As soon as it was dark, I walked slowly along the riverbank, but it was not in vain. Wei Qian said.
Cui Ning nodded, seeing that he didn't continue, knowing that he was afraid of many people, he didn't ask any more.
Wei Qian investigated the scene, and she was more relieved than she came to investigate herself, but since she came, she had to see it in person.
She asked an errand officer who had been involved in the recovery of the body to come forward with a lantern and say, "Where did you find the body?"
The officer carried a lantern and pointed to a patch of calamus in front of him, "This is it." ”
When Cui Ning heard this, he personally carried the lantern to check.
The clumps of calamus were already in disarray, and many of the leaves had been broken, and it was impossible to tell whether they were caused by the recovery or discarding of the corpses, and nothing else.
was looking at it in a daze, and suddenly there was a sound of rustling behind him, Cui Ning turned his head, and everyone around him immediately turned back to be on guard.
After waiting for a while, he saw an errand officer standing not far away in a daze who was frightened by this battle, and it took a long time to react and look at Wei Qian, "My lord, the horse has been brought here." ”
Cui Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and after looking around with the lantern, he ordered to return to the city.
She rode with Wei Qian, and it only took about a moment to return to the inn.
Lu Changshi saw a tall black-clothed young man behind Cui Ning, and hurriedly got up, "Lord Wei is here." ”
Wei Qian calmly returned the salute, "The night is getting deeper, and Shining is working on a case outside, so I'm a little worried." ”
The implication is that he came here only for personal matters and has nothing to do with official business.
"It's getting late, so you two might as well go back and rest first." Cui Ning said.
Wang Shaoyin had a very good impression of Cui Ning at the moment, and seeing that her robe was wet from the rain, she couldn't help but say, "It's better for Lord Wei and Lord Xiao Cui to go back to the government together, here I ......"
Peng You interrupted him coldly, "Before the case was solved, Mo said that it was two adults, even the assassin Lord Shi was inevitably suspicious, how could there be no inspector present for such an important 'witness'?"
"Listen to what you said, together we all have a deep enmity with Yang Beijia. Lu Changshi said the words of refutal, but there was not much anger in his tone, and he said in a round field, "Lord Wang just saw Lord Xiao Cui coming and going in the wind and rain, and it was really hard." ”
Cui Ning said seriously, "Since I am in charge of the case, these are my own affairs, and the affairs of the state are waiting for the two of you to worry about, so you really don't have to make everyone sleep peacefully for the sake of a horse." Rest assured, go back and rest, Lord Wei and I are here to watch. ”
The two of them are right when they think about it, Yang Ling is a "strict self-discipline, lenient to others" peak, I can't do all the big and small government affairs personally, his death, no longer than before, all affairs fall on them, it is not unimportant. Besides, as the year approaches, there is a lot of official business to be attended, and it is impossible to call a horse to delay them all here.
Peng You looked at Lu Changshi and Wang Shaoyin's expressions, and sneered, "Shangfeng was assassinated, if the case can't be solved, I'm afraid the two of you won't have to worry about Suzhou government affairs in the future." ”
Wang Shaoyin is accustomed to a look of "not liking things and not being sad about himself", he doesn't care how he mocks, he made up his mind and got up directly to say goodbye, but Lu Changshi is not worried in his heart, no matter what, he and Yang Ling both started in white, and now that the other party has ended up like this, he is quite sad in his heart, but he really doesn't look down on Peng You's harsh face, as if the whole world should live alone around Yang Ling!
No matter what he thought in his heart, Lu Changshi didn't bring his emotions to the face, "Even if this official is successful, he has to be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day, otherwise he will be ashamed of the people, and the money given by the court will be a loss after all." However, the official believes that with the ability of Lord Xiao Cui, the murderer will be brought to justice. ”
He can get along smoothly to this day, and this bit of self-cultivation is still there, not to mention in front of the officials of the Supervision Department.
Peng You's face became more and more ugly, and he hated this villain more and more in his heart, and the adults came forward one by one when they saw the sky, and they couldn't wait to bow down and lead the horse to serve tea closely, now, people have not gone far, and the tea has been cooled!
People in this world are so cold!
Peng Justice. Cui Ning saw him looking at the back of Lu Changshi leaving, and there was a trace of resentment in his eyes, and he couldn't help but say, "Do you want to solve the case?"
Peng You was stunned for a moment, and then frowned, "What do you mean by this?"
"I just went to the moat to see it, and the scene where I found the body was completely destroyed. I think you should have rushed there as soon as possible, right? Do you know the location of the crime? Have you investigated the scene clearly? You haven't missed any clues?" Cui Ning looked at him, a little annoyed, "I thought you were revengeful and would do your best better than others, but if you continue like this, it really makes people wonder if you also participated in the murder!"
"You!" Peng You's forehead suddenly burst out, and his face was hideous, but he really couldn't find a reason to refute her words.
Cui Ning seemed to feel that the stimulation was not enough, and continued, "I know something that a fledgling person understands, but Master Peng, who is in charge of the justice of a state, doesn't understand?"
Back then, she was slaughtered, and the day and night changed suddenly, but she was confused, a person had no ability, and lost many opportunities to find clues in vain, and now she is finally able to grope and touch these, but it is more difficult than at the beginning, but this Peng You is obviously in control of the justice of a state, and the blood at the mouth of the alley has not been washed away by the rain for days, he can't catch the murderer, and he is still confused, I don't know what to say!
"You...... You don't understand. Peng You lowered his shoulders in a dejected manner, as if a puppet had been cut off from the thread, I don't know whether to judge Cui Ning or comfort himself, his expression seemed to cry and laugh, "How can you understand the pain of life and death, people in the world are mostly cold, you see, the blood of adults is still there, and the cirrus clouds are still waiting, heh, others are not good at wine and food, they live freely, where will they remember the good of adults? They are all heartless...... I don't have a heart ......."
Whether she understands it or not, she doesn't know, but she has already tasted it.
She only occasionally faces a collapse when she thinks of the blood shadow fire that night, but she can recover quickly, is it the light life and death of the person who learned the Tao, or is she born cold......? Sure enough, he's a heartless person......
Just as she fell into the ice cellar and shivered with cold, her left hand was wrapped in a warm hand, and the warmth passed through her skin to her body, like a ray of dawn in the dark, and like a life-saving straw pulled in drowning.
"In this case, please find a suitable place to quietly experience the pain of life and death, whether you want to go crazy or crazy, don't make it more difficult for the patrol to solve the case, after all, Yang Don't treat you well. ”
The low and calm voice made Cui Ning feel at ease.
Peng You regards Yang Ling as his father and suddenly loses his loved ones, this reaction is human nature, Wei Qian is not a mean person who is not close to people, so he saw his mistake in his eyes before but did not blame him, but who made Cui Ning uncomfortable, he was poking his lung tubes, and he naturally did not hesitate to prick the other party's most painful place.
"I'm overly rhetorical, I'm sorry. Cui Ning calmed down, knowing that Fang had just been touched for a while, and said a lot of things that shouldn't be said.
She is not familiar with Peng Youben, and she is just on business, so why bother to talk about it.
"You're not wrong, you don't need to apologize. Wei Qian looked at Peng You expressionlessly, "Yu Zhi, you have a very good relationship with Yang Beijia, and it is unjust that you can't avenge him; It is not too much to seriously investigate and suspend the investigation. ”
