Chapter Twenty-Seven: Keeping the New Year with You
Clue broken?
Lin Meng and Shengjing Mansion Yin were a little stunned when they heard this, the progress of this case has so far depended on this young man alone, when the palace rescued people, investigated drugs and judged the case, even the fake Ledan priest was found out by her, and now she said that the clues were broken, and the case could not be investigated, they all felt a little incredible.
"Before the false priest Ledhan died, I asked him some questions and came to some conclusions." Twilight Road.
"First, the person who connected with him was a person from Daxing, who was born in a family and had a very high background."
"Second, he has no personal grudge against Dorje, and this matter was instructed by King Ledan, and Utu did not know about it."
"Third, the poison was directly given to the post house cook."
"Fourth, he has been to Shengjing before, and the old temple is their joint location, and he has been there, so he is very familiar with that road."
Twilight throws out four pieces of news in a row, but no one knows how she came to these conclusions, including Yuan Xiu. But Twilight didn't give anyone a chance to ask, and continued: "Although the clues in this case are broken, they are not untraceable, and they can be looked at from two places." ”
"First, why did the cook commit suicide when he died? All I can think of is that the person behind the curtain is quite expensive, and it is difficult for him to protect his family if he does not die, so I can send someone to spy on the cook's family to see if there is any gain. ”
"Second, it is unclear when that man pretended to be Le Dan Priest, and since Utu doesn't know about his killing of Dorje, you can ask Utu if there is anything unusual about him getting along with the fake priest, and maybe you can gain something."
After Twilight finished speaking, no one answered, she glanced at a few people, and said, "That's all for now." ”
Lin Meng: "......"
That's all?
Is this called a broken clue?
Twilight Qing could see at a glance what Lin Meng was thinking, and said, "This is just the direction of the investigation, not a clue, don't be too optimistic about this." The person behind this case is very smart, I thought that after you left the government, he would send someone to kill people, but he didn't, but the cook committed suicide. He always leaves a flaw in his killing, and it is easy to be touched by others, but suicide can cut off the clue, this person has a noble identity and acts smartly, and it is not easy to investigate this case. Besides, I said that I would spy on the cook's family, but it may not be rewarding to do so, don't think that if the cook dies, the person behind the scenes will secretly compensate the cook's family, he is so smart, he should have thought that we would follow the investigation, so it is unlikely that he will send someone to contact the cook's family. ”
As soon as he said this, Lin Meng and Shengjing Mansion Yin felt half cold in their hearts.
"Money can make ghosts grind, and the cook of the inn may have been bribed before he did it. You can send someone to collect the body of the cook's family, and then send someone to watch his house to see if the expenses for the funeral are normal. If it is not normal, check where the silver came from, and whether the silver is still a silver ticket. If it is silver, pass it on to his family to ask when the money was brought home, and if the cook has said anything. If it's a silver ticket, check which silver number it is. Twilight elaborated a little more, but she still didn't have much hope, and for that reason, the man behind the scenes was very smart, and he wouldn't leave any clues like silver tickets.
Sheng Jing Mansion Yin nodded again and again, only to feel that this young man was there, and he didn't worry if he didn't have a clue.
Lin Meng was very worried, originally Xiangguo's intention was to order him to try out the person who poisoned the post house, but he didn't expect to involve the Ledan priest, the person was fake, not to say, he also took poison and died, and now even the post house cook hanged himself, this case is obviously not a matter of continuous clues, but he can no longer make the decision to investigate further, and he must tell Xiangguo to see what Xiangguo means.
The case was serious, Lin Meng didn't dare to delay until tomorrow morning, so he asked Yuan Xiu: "Master Hou wants to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the lower officials happen to go with him, and this matter needs to be explained to Lord Xiangguo in detail." ”
Yuan Xiu said in front of the palace gate that he would go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight to keep the New Year, and now it will be almost time.
Yuan Xiu's eyebrows twisted out when he heard this, and said, "I'm going back to the house, but Lord Lin doesn't have to go." ”
Lin Meng was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, and said with a smile: "Hou Ye has not returned to Beijing for many years, tonight is a big case, and Hou Ye should be asked to keep the New Year with Xiang Ye and his wife, then the next official will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow morning." ”
Since Yuan Xiu didn't let him go, then Yuan Xiangguo couldn't blame him for being late.
Yuan Xiu's brows tightened, and he said: "What kind of prime minister's mansion to go, Ming'er will enter the palace as soon as the palace door is opened, and present this matter to the saint!" ”
Yes?
Lin Meng and Sheng Jing Mansion Yin both opened their mouths and were stunned for a moment.
Yuan Xiu said to Du Qing: "Let's go, you're tired for a day, it's time to go back to the house to rest." ”
Twilight nodded, and the two of them went out of the prison with the generals of the Northwest Army, and did not say much to Lin Meng and the others.
Outside the prison, the wind was fierce, and the mouth and nose were cut, but the air was much better than in the prison. Yuan Xiu unfolded the big hat, and just wanted to help Twilight put it on, Twilight Qing took it in her hand and put it on herself, she put on the hood, and said, "Let's go." ”
With that, Twilight walked on.
As soon as his side was empty, Yuan Xiu felt empty in his heart, this feeling was in his heart for a while, it seemed that he took her to the outside of the torture prison, and as soon as she left his arms, he felt that there was an empty place.
Yuan Xiu only cared about things, and when he came back to his senses, Du Qing was far away, so he cleaned up his mood and followed, caught up with Du Qing at the gate of the official office of the criminal Cao, and said to the generals of the Northwest Army: "You go back to the house, I will send Ying Rui back." ”
"Let's just send Yingrui, the general hurry back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the old lady is still waiting for you to keep the New Year." Zhao Liangyi said.
Yuan Xiu also knew that it was time to rush back to keep the New Year, but for some reason he just didn't want to be separated from Twilight, just seeing that she was far away, he felt panicked, and he didn't know what was wrong, so he said: "Hurry up, there are still some things I want to ask Ying Rui about this case, you guys go back to the house first." ”
He rarely lies, and he doesn't dare to look at the generals under his command at this time, but Zhao Liangyi, Wang Weihai and others are careless, and no one can see that something is wrong, so they have to leave and go first.
After the person left, Yuan Xiu turned around and saw that Twilight Qing was looking at him, his eyes were as bright as stars, as if he could see through his thoughts, he suddenly avoided his gaze and hurriedly looked for words: "Uh, this case...... Case...... Oh yes! How did you see what you said in prison? ”
Originally, he had nothing to say, but thinking about the case, Yuan Xiu really remembered something he wanted to ask.
He was referring to the False Priest of Ledan, and he only remembered that she had asked something, but the False Priest had not answered, so how did she know the answer?
Twilight Qing looked back at Yuan Xiu, when she first joined the army in the northwest, Wei Zhuozhi had reminded her that the ability to observe words and colors is a sharp weapon in the world, and it should not be easily said and known, and she did not show too much when she was in the northwest. Fang was in prison, she knew that Lin Meng wanted to ask, but she didn't give him a chance to ask, and she deliberately concealed the matter, but since Yuan Xiu asked, she didn't hide it, she trusted him!
"Let's talk as we go." Twilight Qing glanced at the Torture Cao Mansion and beware of the ears on the wall.
Yuan Xiu nodded, and the two of them left the Xingcao Mansion together, and when they turned the corner, Du Qing said, "Although the fake priest didn't answer, I understood his demeanor. ”
"Look?" Yuan Xiu was surprised.
"Well, I call it micro-expressions, and you can also call it observant words."
When Yuan Xiu heard this, he was even more surprised in his heart, and he didn't understand it.
Twilight didn't explain too much, but said, "This matter is not clear for a while, let's talk about it another day, you go back to the house to accompany your father and mother to celebrate the New Year." ”
Although she has no good impression of Yuan Xiangguo, she has never met Yuan Xiu's mother, and human feelings should not be confused with court grievances. She can't keep the New Year with her father and mother, Yuan Xiu still has this blessing and should cherish it.
"I'll take you home first." Yuan Xiu insisted, "Don't worry, send you home, I'll go back lightly, it's too late!" ”
"Xingcao Yamen is in the east, Ludao Lake is in the south, and Xiangfu is in the north, how can I get in time?" Twilight Qing hadn't forgotten that the Yuan Cultivator would do light work, but it was already late when they came out of the palace, and the matter of the fake Ledan's priest had been delayed for a long time, so where was there any time?
"Just in time!" Yuan Xiu smiled loudly, picked up Twilight Qing's toes, and the two of them got up from the ground.
Since the broken temple took her to the prison of torture Cao, he felt quite in a good mood, and thought about trying again, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly!
Twilight Qing was stunned when she was taken up by Yuan Xiu, and the two walked on the wall and roof tiles, Twilight Qing was a little stunned for a while, remembering that when she was in the Bianhe, someone also took her to the high line, and the night the stars and rivers shone on the palace city, and the people were in it, and the moon was bright and the wind was clear. Tonight, I only saw the flying snow like flowers, the sky and the earth were vast, the wind was devastating, the starry night was far away, there was a wide scenery, and I was in a happy mood.
Yuan Xiu took advantage of light skills, even if he brought someone, the speed was much faster than the two of them walking at night, and the two of them fell directly into the courtyard in front of the flower hall of General Zuo's mansion.
Liu Heizi and Shi Dahai were waiting for Twilight Qing at the door, waiting anxiously, when they saw someone entering the mansion from the top of their heads, they were shocked, thinking it was an assassin, and chased them in only to see that it was Yuan Xiu and Twilight Qing. Yue Kill came from the backyard, his face was not good-looking, and said, "Why didn't the general send my general back to the attic of the backyard directly?" ”
Yuan Xiu glanced in the direction of the attic, it was not that he didn't want to go, but she was a woman after all, and the attic was her boudoir, so he better not go in casually.
"No, I sent your general back, and I hurried back to keep the New Year, so I'll leave first!" Yuan Xiu said to Yue Kill, glanced at Twilight Qing again, and said, "You can rest early, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
He still wants to hear about what he says.
Twilight nodded, seeing Yuan Xiu standing up in place, and went to the roof of the flower hall, and in the blink of an eye, his figure was covered by the snow.
Twilight's eyes did not retract, looking at the long snow, she actually thought of the rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the green tile bead curtain, and a small courtyard.
When her father left, she only felt sad and angry, and she had not really experienced it for half a year, until this Chinese New Year's Eve, she did not know that she really had to leave by herself in this life.
"Everyone is gone, still watch!" The sound of Moon Kill was heard, interrupting Twilight's thoughts.
Twilight knew he was crooked when she looked at his face, and she didn't explain, so she went straight to the backyard. Didn't see Yang along the way, Twilight Qing thought that Xu was busy in the kitchen for Chinese New Year's Eve, so she went up to the attic.
Before she got to the attic house, she smelled the smell of food, and Twilight walked up to take a look, and saw that Yang was busy putting dishes and chopsticks on the table, and she was sitting behind the table alone. ”
Twilight froze, "Why are you here?" ”
"Stay with you." ――
