Chapter 15: The Breadbreads (I)

What now?

The person hidden in the darkness thought about it repeatedly, and the wealth he had collected was already a lot, enough for him to have a worry-free life, but how could a person be content, not to mention that a shadow had been haunting his heart, so that he couldn't tell whether it was money or people that he couldn't let go?

However, the names of Yue Linfeng and Lin Yuxiao have long been heard by him, how can anyone who does their business not know the two of them? It is said that there is no case that they can't solve, will he lose at their hands?

In the past two days, he has used the excuse of going out to investigate the case and not even meeting them, for fear of revealing flaws, but he can't always hide like this, isn't that "there is no silver three hundred taels here"?

What to do? I really don't want to leave like this, he gritted his teeth, let's take a gamble!

……

Mortuary

In the dead of night, it was more gloomy than daylight, and few people would be here, but now a figure in white patrolled the corpse......

After the strange case, all the corpses of the rich who died were stored here, and a few of them had been buried for too long, but fortunately it was winter now, and a few of them could be kept in the capital to be personally examined.

Lin Yuxiao has always believed that there is no unsolvable case in the world, and any case will have clues left by the murderer, just see how you find out, he believes that a person will not die suddenly and inexplicably, and there is a reason for death, and sometimes the corpse will cry out for itself, just see if you can hear it.

He has carefully examined it several times, there are no traces of external injuries on the corpse, and there is no possibility of internal injuries, the only reason can only be poisoning, although no poison has been detected, but it does not mean that these victims are not poisoned and died, because some poisons can not be detected by ordinary people.

Lin Yuxiao took out a silver needle from the bag he was carrying, and carefully pierced it into the heart of a corpse, the heart is the master of the whole body, no matter where the blood flows, it will always return to the heart, and when the heart stops beating, people die, and the purpose of all poisons is nothing more than to stop the heart from beating.

Therefore, Lin Yuxiao is accustomed to using a silver needle to take a priori heart during the autopsy, and with his ability, he does not need to dissect the corpse and examine the internal organs like ordinary people, because the silver needle he uses is coated with his special potion, and once any poison is stained, there is nowhere to hide.

Sure enough, when he carefully pulled out the silver needle, the needle was black. What kind of poison is this? Why can't there be any abnormalities on the corpse, and can't be detected by the pretend?

Lin Yuxiao carefully put the silver needle he took out into a piece of white paper coated with a layer of white powder, and the original white powder suddenly turned into seven colors, which was very beautiful.

The corners of Lin Yuxiao's mouth were slightly hooked, there is really such a magical poison in this world, and it has been used to harm people.

But tonight's task was completed, and when he came out of the house, he grabbed a handful of snow from the stone slab and washed his hands, then wiped his hands with a handkerchief, took off the cloak hanging from the branches, and was about to leave, when a light came from a few hundred meters ahead.

The person who came was carrying a lantern, which showed a sense of openness, and Lin Yuxiao didn't hide, and waited for him here.

"You?" However, the people who came over were surprised to see that there was another person standing in front of the corpse room on a snowy night, and his body was so white and eye-catching that it made people hairy.

"I'm Lin Yuxiao from the capital, and you're the head of Lu Tingqi Lu in Mengzhou City, right?" Lin Yuxiao spoke first, and his smile was as gentle as usual.

"It turned out to be Lord Lin, and the humble position is Lu Tingqi," Lu Tingqi hurriedly saluted, and at the same time had questions in his heart, "How did the adult recognize Lu?" "Before, he took people to a neighboring county to handle the case, and he hadn't met with Qin Cha from the capital.

"After we came to Mengzhou, there were only five people in the Yamen who went outside to handle the case and didn't see it, including Lu Zhutou, and we also thundered about the name of Lu Tingqi, the famous arrester in Jiangnan, and the age, appearance, and temperament correspond to the five catchers, not to mention the official uniform of Lu Zhutou as evidence." Lin Yuxiao smiled slightly and looked at the gold rim on Lu Tingqi's hat to catch fast, there is always a difference between catching heads and catching fast, and being an official is always a little different.

"What do you say about the famous arrest in Jiangnan, Mengzhou City's case should be resigned from the position of head arrester, and the reason why he still stays in this position is because he is unwilling to ......" Lu Ting looked at the mortuary, "In this world, justice is needed." ”

Lin Yuxiao agreed with him on this point: "Lu Zhutou has this heart, so he deserves the title of arrest, you are here to see these corpses?" ”

"Are you going to check it again, and your lord is here too?" What else can you do here at this time, Lu Tingqi felt that he had asked knowingly, but the people in the officialdom, who would speak straightforwardly.

"The person who handled the case, of course, has to come and see the victim, but now that I've finished reading it, does Lu Zhutou know where there is an open restaurant in Mengzhou City at this hour? I am hungry. Lin Yuxiao asked very sincerely, as a famous head catcher in Mengzhou, Lu Tingqi should be familiar with the streets and alleys in the city.

At this hour, he met Lin Yuxiao here, Lu Tingqi was not very surprised, and he also worked in the middle of the night to prove that he was serious and conscientious, he didn't just finish the case in the field and didn't take care of resting here, but he said that he was hungry outside the mortuary, and Lin Yuxiao was definitely the first.

As a famous arrester in Jiangnan, Lu Tingqi will not be unfamiliar with the autopsy process, and even sometimes he has to see it himself, after each test, he is a vegetarian for a few days and has little appetite, this is not that he is squeamish, and the people in the yamen have always been vegetarians for life.

"You don't know?" Seeing that Lu Tingqi didn't speak, Lin Yuyan's face was obviously disappointed.

"I know a few." Doesn't it make people laugh at him if he is not familiar with Mengzhou City? "I'll take the adults there, it just so happens that there is a family nearby, and if it weren't for an acquaintance, I wouldn't be able to knock on his door at this time."

The mortuary of the Yamen is still different from Yizhuang, the corpses parked here are all related to the unsolved case, in order to facilitate the inspection of the officials, it will not be set up in the wilderness, but in the end it is a dead person, and the office is still separated by a little distance, deliberately looking for a secluded street, the locals in Mengzhou City all know what this place is for, and no one will get close to this stall to do business.

Lu Tingqi took Lin Yuxiao out of this street, and asked by the way: "We have experienced corpses several times, but we can't find out why these people died suddenly, probably Lord Lin has also read the case file, and there are a few rich families who are lowly and many officials are around them to protect when they have an accident, and the distance is even within one meter, and the result is ...... Lord Lin checked just now, what did he find? ”

"It's just a preliminary look, and there's really nothing to be seen on the corpse," so he checked it in his own way, "Then do you believe that a person dies suddenly for no reason?" ”

"How could it be, if there is really a spell in the world that will seduce the soul and kill thousands of miles away, then what else does the yamen want to do in the world." Lu Tingqi immediately denied it.

"A spell that seduces the soul and kills thousands of miles away?" Lin Yuxiao raised his eyebrows, smiling rather than smiling, "There are already such rumors in Mengzhou City?" ”

"It's all the incompetence of the lowly officials, the delay in solving the case, the people are panicked and naturally cranky, there is a boss Yao is that after receiving the letter from the gangsters, he did not choose to report to the official but went to the temple to invite a few monks, and his body was full of amulets, but the result was still ......" Lu Tingqi did not gloat, but the people in the public were so distrusted, which really hurt his self-esteem.

"There is no unsolvable case in this world, it is just sooner or later." Lin Yuxiao lightly reiterated his concept, and then asked, "Haven't you arrived yet?" ”

"Ah, it's coming soon," Lu Tingqi hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed not far to the left front, "My lord, I see that is the house, it is a household that makes dim sum and porridge, an old man surnamed Shang with a grandson, and he is the earliest to go out of the stall every day, so we are used to going to his house for breakfast when we get off work at night." ”

"Don't call me an adult outside." Lin Yuxiao said softly.

"Yes," this Lu Tingqi could understand, he agreed, went to the front and knocked on the door, and shouted, "Has Grandpa Shang opened a store?" I'm Xiao Lu! Listening to this tone, it is indeed very familiar.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Someone inside quickly ran out and opened the door, "Brother Lu, you're here, come in!" "It's not that the old man is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.

Lu Tingqi also had to introduce: "I also brought a guest today, this is Lin Gongzi." ”

Only then did the young man see a young man who looked like a boy standing not far away, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, not much older than himself, so he couldn't talk about any respect, but he only saw that the person was brought by Lu Tingqi, so he opened the door a little wider, and greeted politely: "Lin Gongzi, please come in." ”

Lin Yuxiao didn't find fault with it, after he and Lu Tingqi walked into the courtyard, an old man with some flour on his hat also greeted him with a smile: "Xiao Lu is back?" This is ......," the old man noticed that there were strangers.

"My surname is Lin, because the capital is cold in winter, I came to Mengzhou to escape the cold, who knew that it was also snowing in Mengzhou, so I had to come over to ask Grandpa Shang for a bowl of hot porridge to drink." Lin Yuxiao didn't put a bad shelf, and Lu Tingqi also called a hawker grandfather who sold breakfast.

"It turned out to be Lin Gongzi, please come in, it's rare that you don't dislike Xiao Lao'er...... this place is simple" Lin Yuxiao wore a white dress, and the circle of hair inlaid on the white cloak was also as white as snow, and it faintly emitted a silver-white light.

The most rare thing is that this son who is not rich or noble can afford him, Lao Shang invited someone into the house and hurriedly beckoned people to sit down, so that his grandson Xiao Shang hurried to serve porridge, and he himself was busy going to the stove to get snacks.

Lao Shang's main house is a living room and a kitchen, a working room and a dining room, with stoves and food on the left, and several sets of tables and chairs on the right, which are for visitors to have breakfast here.
