On the right side of the artificial lake of the Silver Garden, there is a rich and verdant forest park, which is planted with different famous trees from all over the world, including noble sandalwood trees, magnificent oak churches, African sun monkey trees, etc., they grow harmoniously under the unique arrangement and arrangement of garden designers, and together form this magnificent and beautiful 'World Forest Garden' in front of you. But the purpose of his trip was not to admire these precious tree species, but to explore some strange things.

"Butler Bai, please here, right here!" A young Bai Clan guard led the way in front, looking very nervous, as if there was something terrible in front of him.

After passing through a few French plane trees, Bai Peng came to his destination, and at this time there was another Bai Clan guard at the scene, who was slightly older than the white-clothed guard who led the way, when he saw Bai Peng appear, he immediately stood up straight and respectfully addressed Bai Peng: "White Butler!" ”

Bai Peng nodded with a stern expression, then walked in front of the Bai Clan's guards, and asked in a deep and simple voice, "What is the reason you called me here?" ”

"Butler Bai, look at this!" The older Bai Clan guard immediately crouched down, he stroked a layer of fallen leaves on the ground, and prompted Bai Peng.

Bai Peng looked down at the bottom of the Bai guard's hand, and in an instant, his eyes showed a tense color--he saw a pile of leaves on the ground stained with blood, judging from the drying up of the blood spots, these blood would definitely not appear for more than a day. The dignified Bai family's 'Shilin Garden' of the four major families in the imperial capital actually had abnormal bloodstains, if it was in other places, it might not be nothing, but in the Silver Garden, this is definitely a big event, because it is likely to endanger the life of Bai Qi, the head of the Bai family, so no one dares to take a pool of blood of unknown origin lightly.

Bai Peng squatted down to carefully examine the shape and traces of the bloodstains, and after a while, he looked up at the two Bai Clan guards in front of him, his eyes were very cold, and he asked in a deep voice, "How did you find out that there are bloodstains here?" ”

As the number one master of the Bai family, Bai Peng's majesty in the Bai family was self-evident, and the two ordinary Bai family guards were naturally shocked by Bai Peng's awe-inspiring momentum. The young guard was already too frightened to speak, and the older guard was still quite heavy, he stabilized his mind, and described to Bai Peng the scene when they were in the 'World Garden' last night in an uneasy and nervous tone: "At that time, Xiao Kai and I patrolled together, and when we patrolled to the 'World Garden', we faintly heard an abnormal sound inside, as if someone was talking inside, so I walked in with Xiao Kai with the courage to go." But there was no one in the woods, so we continued to patrol along the road. But after returning to my accommodation, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, and I always felt strange, so the next day I took Xiao Kai and went into the trees again to check, and sure enough, I found a pool of blood hidden by fallen leaves. ”

Listening to the guard's story, Bai Peng's brows frowned tightly, he looked down at the blood stains on the ground, and suddenly, as if he realized something, he immediately stood up straight.

The sudden move startled the two Bai Clan guards, who looked at Bai Peng with frightened eyes, and both of them took a few steps back at the same time.

Bai Peng looked up at the two Bai Clan guards, and said in a deep voice, "Have you ever mentioned this matter to others?" ”

Hearing Bai Peng's inquiry, the slightly older Bai clan guard immediately shook his head nervously and said, "No, no, after discovering the bloodstains, the first thing I notified was you, Steward Bai, except for the three of us, no one else knew." ”

"Very well, from now on, I want you to completely forget about this matter, do you understand what I mean?" Bai Peng strode up to the two Bai Clan guards and ordered in a deep voice.

The two Bai Clan guards immediately nodded in unison and shouted, "I know, Steward Bai, we will definitely forget about it, and we will never mention it to anyone." ”

Bai Peng's cold gaze gradually softened, he reached out and patted the shoulders of the two Bai guards, and said, "Okay, there is nothing to do with you here, you two will now go to the Bai Clan's Security Department to find Minister Bai Feibai, and each of you will receive him a week's vacation and a bonus of 20,000 yuan, just say that I have granted it." ”

Hearing Bai Peng's words, the two Bai clan guards were overjoyed, they stood up straight and bowed to Bai Peng, and thanked them excitedly: "Thank you, Butler Bai, thank you, Butler Bai!" ”

"You don't have to thank me, this is in exchange for your loyalty to the Bai family, and you deserve it." A faint smile appeared on Bai Pengyan's face, and he said, "Go quickly, remember what you promised me before." ”

The two Bai guards nodded excitedly, and then the two of them ran quickly towards the 'Shilin Garden' and ran towards the Bai Clan's security department in front. As the exclusive guards of the Bai family, they are responsible for the safety of the Bai family, so the people who can become the Bai family's guards are definitely screened out layer by layer, in addition to unimaginable tests and training, they also have to endure vacation work only once a year. So when they heard that Bai Peng had granted the two of them a week's vacation, the two Bai clan guards could be said to be ecstatic, and they were naturally grateful to Bai Peng.

His gaze returned to Bai Peng's body, and after a brief smile, his upright face reappeared solemn, and he looked towards the bloodstains on the ground, and then saw him slam his feet and crush the bloodstained leaves, and then saw Bai Peng turn around and walk out of the 'World Garden' and walk towards the villa on the island in the lake.

When Bai Peng returned to Bai Qi's bedroom, he saw that there was only one Bai Qi in the entire bedroom, and Bai Lian had long since disappeared, and Bai Qi's painful expression clearly showed that he had drunk the bowl of Chinese herbal soup.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Bai Peng appear at the door, Bai Qi smiled and said, "Bai Peng, is there something going on outside?" ”

"No...... No. Bai Peng walked to Bai Qi's bed and replied.

The corners of Bai Qi's mouth hooked up a light smile, he put the magazine in his hand aside, looked up at Bai Peng, and said with a smile: "Do you know, when you have something on your mind, the rhythm of your speech will always be half a beat slower, just like just now." ”

Hearing Bai Qi analyze himself like this, Bai Peng's upright face showed embarrassment, and he smiled bitterly: "Young master, you are still powerful, and you can't hide anything from your eyes." ”

Next, Bai Peng repeated to Bai Qi in detail the fact that the two Bai guards had discovered the abnormal bloodstains of the 'World Garden'. Although Bai Peng was quite confident in his analytical ability, he was even more confident in Bai Qi's intelligence, and he believed that Bai Qi would definitely find clues in it that he could not guess.

After listening to Bai Peng's description, Bai Qi's beautiful forehead frowned slightly, he raised his right hand and stroked his forehead, and after a while, Bai Peng's bright and wise eyes flashed fiercely, he looked at Bai Peng, and said, "Bai Peng, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Bai Peng stood straight in front of Bai Qi's bed, and replied respectfully: "Young Master, according to the inference of his subordinates, it is likely that someone has mixed into our Bai family, and there is more than one person who has mixed in!" ”

"Humph!" Bai Qi snorted coldly, and said rather disdainfully: "Shennong Gang, I really didn't expect them to be able to sneak into my Silver Garden, but that's fine, I want to see what tricks they can play!" ”

In the past few days, Qin Shaoyang has been tracking the clues of the Shennong Gang, especially the appearance of Qing Li, Qin Shaoyang specially came to Xie Shenping's residence to re-investigate. But by coincidence, Qin Shaoyang and Pan Xiaoting met unexpectedly. Pan Xiaoting was not wearing a police uniform, she was wearing casual clothes at this time, with light blue jeans and a pair of brand-name sneakers, looking youthful and energetic.

"Officer Pan, what a coincidence, I didn't expect us to meet again." Qin Shaoyang saw Pan Xiaoting from a distance, and immediately stepped forward with a smile and said hello.

Pan Xiaoting was also quite surprised that Qin Shaoyang appeared at the door of Xie Shenping's residence, but later her delicate face showed a look of joy, and she responded with a smile: "What a coincidence, Shaoyang, by the way, why did you come to Xie Shenping here today?" ”

"That's a bit of a long story, but I'm actually here to find some clues." Qin Shaoyang smiled and said, "Officer Pan, did you find anything in your search of Xie Shenping's house last night?" ”

Pan Xiaoting shook her head helplessly, and said very depressedly: "I didn't find anything, this is the strangest killing I have ever seen in my life, a big living person was killed by a bug, this is really bizarre and weird, I have no clue at all." ”

Looking at Pan Xiaoting's depressed expression, Qin Shaoyang reminded with a smile: "Actually, it's not that there are no clues at all, as I said last night, the carrion maggot is not something that just ordinary people can get. Although it is a poisonous insect, its value in traditional Chinese medicine is also quite high, so the person who can freely use the carrion maggot grub is definitely a person with rich knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, and the origin must not be simple! ”

It turned out that the clueless trick case actually had a feeling of sudden enlightenment under Qin Shaoyang's speculation, Pan Xiaoting immediately stretched out her hands to pull Qin Shaoyang's arm, and asked with a delicate face that was extremely excited and happy: "Shaoyang, you are so powerful, but how do you know that the strange insect is the carrion maggot grub, if he is quite rare, you can't know it!" ”

Qin Shaoyang raised his head proudly, and said: "What's so strange about that, I grew up in a family of traditional Chinese medicine, my grandfather is a well-known old Chinese medicine doctor, since I was a child, he taught me to recognize all kinds of Chinese herbs and some insects, including the carrion maggot grub, so I can recognize it at a glance." ”

"So that's the case, by the way, I seem to have heard Tang Yu's girl say it before." After Pan Xiaoting heard Qin Shaoyang's explanation, she suddenly realized, and couldn't help but raise her slender hand and stroke her chin and recalled, "By the way, I remember that you seem to have had a relationship with that Shennong Gang, do you think this rotten bone maggot grub was started by someone from the Shennong Gang?!" ”
