"Absolutely no upstairs, everyone can prove it!" Lu Xiaoxian patted his chest and said.

"I see, you two come with me!"

Leng Qing led the two to Zhou Xian, Leng Qing hugged his fists and said: "Lord Zhou, I have already asked, my two brothers have been eating and drinking in the hall, and they have never been on the second floor at all, they can be relieved of their suspicion, can I take the two of them back?" ”

"No problem!" Zhou Xian readily agreed.

"Thank you very much!" Leng Qing said gratefully.

"But!" Zhou Xian said to Leng Qing sincerely, "There is something to ask for below, please don't refuse to catch the head!" ”

"Lord Zhou is polite, you say!"

"This case involves Princess Taiping and Princess Anle, and Her Royal Highnesses the two princesses want to solve the case as soon as possible, but they can't do anything about it, can Mr. Leng help me?"

The Criminal Department and Jingzhao Mansion each perform their duties, if it is placed on weekdays, Zhou Xian's request, Leng Qing will definitely refuse without hesitation. But Zhou Xian has just made it convenient for himself, and it is difficult to say this refusal.

After thinking for a while, Leng Qing nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll do my best!" ”

Zhou Xian hurriedly said when he heard the joy: "Thank you Mr. Leng for catching your head!" ”

Leng Qing said: "Lord Zhou, take me to see the scene first!" ”

"Mr. Leng catches the head, please come here!"

Leng Qing looked at the scene, was silent, pushed open the front window, and in front of him was the hall of the Drunken Spring Pavilion. Pushing open the back window, there is a large garden, and there is a small door on the east side of the courtyard wall that leads to another large courtyard, which is a building with light and darkness.

"Who's living in the backyard?" Leng Qing asked.

"I have already asked Cheng Ke, the shopkeeper of Zuichun Pavilion, that the backyard is where he and his only daughter Cheng Jiao live."

Leng Qing walked to the table and took a closer look, suddenly picked up a cup of tea on the table, put it under his nose and smelled it, a slight smile appeared on his face, and then put the teacup on the table.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything? Zhou Xian asked beside him.

Leng Qing said lightly: "It is common for the courtesans of the Qinglou to accompany the guests to drink, and the amount of alcohol is generally not much worse, and Qiu Lian, as the Oiran of the Drunken Spring Pavilion, will not be bad for the amount of alcohol." She only drank for half an hour with Shen Fu, that is, seven or eight glasses of wine, why did she become unconscious? ”

"There's only one possibility!" Speaking of this, Leng Qing pointed to the teacup: "Her tea has been drugged." ”

Sure enough, it was the chief arrester of the Criminal Department, and as soon as he made a move, he found the clue, and Zhou Xian secretly admired it.

"Lord Zhou, find a room, I'll ask the suspects one by one!"

"Okay, Mr. Leng catches the head, you wait!"

Zhou Xian found a room, Leng Qing interrogated the suspect again, and Xu Cheng was the first to be brought up.

When Zhou Xian interrogated Xu Cheng before, Xu Cheng was still a little frightened, but at this moment, he was much calmer.

Xu Cheng heard the words that Liu Yang said to Zhou Xian when he came to the Zuichun Pavilion, which made him feel a lot more confident in his heart, so he replied with a little more arrogance.

"As soon as I entered Qiu Lian's room, I saw the guy picking Qiu Lian's clothes. Qiu Lian's performance is well known, I guess this guy must have used some despicable means, so he stepped forward to stop him, and in a few words, he collapsed, and you know what happened next. For the sake of business, I have a holiday with Shinsuke, but I am not enough to kill people. Now that Shinsuke is dead, I think there must be something hidden in this. Even if it really died at my hands, it was a mistake, and it was definitely not intentional homicide. ”

Leng Qing listened to his words and observed his color, although Xu Cheng spoke in a louder tone, it didn't seem like he was lying.

"So, from the time you entered the house to the time you left, Miss Qiulian was lying on the bed all the time, without speaking or moving?" Leng Qing asked.

Xu Cheng nodded.

The next person to bring in for questioning was Qiu Lian.

Qiu Lian was already neatly dressed, and her hair was neatly combed.

Leng Qing asked, "You are the Oiran Qiu Lotus of the Drunken Spring Pavilion?"

"Yes."

"How long have you been in Chang'an?"

"One year and seven months."

"Does Shinsuke often come to you?"

"It will come every three or five days."

"Have you ever slept before?"

"Nope."

"Did Shinsuke push you?"

"Nope."

"Xu Cheng also comes often?"

"I've been here twice, and this is the third time."

After a pause, Leng Qing asked again: "Shen Fu is no longer young, you are seventeen or eighteen years old, why do you want to be close to him?"

"My lord, the folk girl is just a courtesan, what age do you have to accompany the guests? Besides, Master Shen is rich and powerful, and the people don't dare to offend him! ”

Leng Qing snorted: "How much do you usually drink?"

"Considered good among the sisters!"

"Then why did you get drunk after half an hour?"

"I also wondered, it's okay to drink these drinks on weekdays, but who knows that this time I'm drunk!" Qiu Lian had a puzzled look on her face.

"So, you don't know what Shen Fu and Xu Cheng are in the house?"

"Yes!"

Leng Qing nodded, and asked Yu to bring Qiu Lian down, and Ji Wen and Ashina Xian up.

After listening to the two of them, Leng Qing asked, "So, when you went in, Shen Fu was already dead?" ”

Ashina Xian shook his head: "We didn't know that Shen Fu was dead, it was I who went out and called the shopkeeper Cheng into the house, and the shopkeeper Cheng tried his breath before he knew that he was dead." ”

Zhou Xian suddenly asked Ashinaxian, "Do you mean that you went to call the shopkeeper, and Ji Wen stayed in the house alone?" ”

When Gwen heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.

Ashina Xian nodded: "Yes!" ”

"Alright, you guys go down first!"

Leng Qing asked Cheng Ke, Lu Xiaoxian, Lu Xiaoyi and a few guys, and the general situation was consistent with the confessions of Xu Cheng, Qiu Lian, Ashina Xian, and Ji Wen.

Leng Qing said to Zhou Xian: "Lord Zhou, first take the suspect to the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, and try again tomorrow!" ”

Zhou Xian hesitated: "Mr. Leng catches the head, we don't have much time, you ......"

Leng Qing smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Lord Zhou, I will go back to the mansion with you, I will not leave until the case is solved!" ”

"Then there will be Lao Leng's head catcher!"

Leng Qing and Zhou Xian came to the hall again, and Leng Qing said to Lu Xiaoxian and Lu Xiaoyi: "You two go back first, there is nothing to do with you here!" ”

After that, Leng Qing instructed Ma Ming: "The rest of the people are all taken away and temporarily detained in the Jingzhao Mansion prison!" ”

"Brother Leng!" Lu Xiaoxian suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?" Leng Qing turned his head.

"I'll also go to the Jingzhao Mansion Prison!"

"What did you say?" Leng Qing thought he had misheard.

"Brother Leng, I'll go to the Jingzhao Mansion Prison with them!" Lu Xiaoxian repeated it again.

"It's nonsense!" Leng Qing was annoyed, "Hurry back to the dart game, don't make any more trouble!" ”

"The two of them are my friends, and I'm sure they won't kill! They were put in prison and let me leave alone, I couldn't do it! Lu Xiaoxian begged, "I'm going to accompany them, please, Brother Leng, just let me go!" ”

Ashina Xian and Ji Wen glanced at each other, and then looked at Lu Xiaoxian, their eyes full of gratitude.

Leng Qing understands Lu Xiaoxian's temperament and knows that he can't resist him.

After a moment of silence, Leng Qing sighed and said, "Okay, it's just one night, and you must leave immediately when it's dawn!" If you don't agree, go back now. ”

"I promise! I promise! Lu Xiaoxian showed a cheerful look on his face, "Thank you, Brother Leng!" ”

"Brother, I'm ......"

Lu Xiaoyi was interrupted by Lu Xiaoxian as soon as he opened his mouth, and he instructed Lu Xiaoyi: "Don't join in the fun, so as not to annoy Brother Leng, hurry back and tell the bureau master, don't let him worry." ”

"Okay!" Lu Xiaoyi nodded reluctantly: "Brother, be more careful yourself!" ”

"I know, you can go quickly!"

As soon as Lu Xiaoyi went out, he was stopped.

"Shadow girl, why are you? What are you doing here? Lu Xiaoyi asked strangely.

Shadow said disdainfully: "You guys are embarrassed to come to such a dirty place." If it weren't for my young lady's unworrying about that muddy ball, I wouldn't have come! ”

Lu Xiaoyi hurriedly explained: "Shadow girl, it's not what you think, we ......"

The shadow interrupted Lu Xiaoyi: "Okay, don't tell me this, I'm too lazy to listen." All you have to do is tell me where that ball is, what you're doing now, so that I can go back to my life! ”

"Xiao Xian, he went to the prison of Jingzhao Mansion!"

"What? Jingzhao Mansion Prison ......" Shadow was taken aback.

……

Here, it seems to be a corner forgotten and spurned by the world, separated by a wall, bright outside the wall, and rotten in the prison, stark irony.

It was late, and the breeze blew up the dust that floated in the air, filling the entire cell, mixed with the smell of sourness, decay and decay, which penetrated into the hearts of every prisoner, making people feel inexplicable fear.

In the silence of the night, a sudden jingle or the unwilling roar of a prisoner seems to awaken the ghost of a sleeping soul and prick your eardrums. Only the darkness that seeps into your heart is your eternal companion!

The Jingzhao Mansion prison is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the conditions are much better than the prison in Youzhou City. Anyway, this is a prison after all, and whoever enters it will not feel much better.

Leng Qing specially instructed that Lu Xiaoxian and Jiwen and Ashina Xian were put in the same cell.

In the dark, Lu Xiaoxian's voice came into the ears of Ji Wen and Ashinaxian: "Two big brothers, you don't have to worry, this black is black, and white is white, and when things are clarified, you will go out soon." When the time comes, I'll invite you to drink and give you two a shock! ”

Lu Xiaoxian could not have been imprisoned, but he volunteered to accompany Ji Wen and Ashina Xian.

If they are old friends for many years, it makes sense for Lu Xiaoxian to do this, but they are not familiar with each other, and even if Lu Xiaoxian and Ash Naxian meet for the first time, this kind of behavior is commendable.

Sharing hardship is a sincere feeling, whether it is Ji Wen or Ashina Xian, they all regard Lu Xiaoxian as a trustworthy person in their hearts.

"The wine invited by Lu Gongzi is naturally to be drunk!" Ashina said heartily, "However, there is something I have to trouble you!" ”

"Brother Ashina, if you have something to say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely go all out!"
