Chapter 18 Don't talk nonsense

It stands to reason that at this hour, Xian'an should also be immersed in a dream as sweet as osmanthus honey.

Now it's good! Before dawn, he was pulled over to survey the scene. In the past, six doors were used to handle cases, and one or two pieces of silver were given as a reward for solving a case, and on one side of this stall was the sergeant of the lieutenant of Zhenguo, and on the other side was the Jinyi guard from the Beizhen Fusi, and suddenly, Xian'an only felt that he was caught between a lion and a tiger with a bloody mouth.

This work is in vain, they are in a hurry, and they don't have a good weapon at hand, this whole station ship is their territory, how dare they ask for silver taels? If one of them is not willing to 'slash' twice, then do they still have their lives? If you pout, you can hang an oil pot, Cui Xian'an's goose-egg-like little face is full of words, the master is not happy!

"Are all the sergeants in the cabin guarding the congratulatory gifts killed?" She asked casually as she walked.

Mu Yue glanced at Xian'an with disdain, this girl was beating Xiao Jiujiu in her heart, she could guess some approximate ones, she thought it was a night catch, and she still wanted to make some efforts, and change a few fish with good meat quality to stew in the pot, but not only did there be no fish. was also forced to come to investigate the scene, if the sergeant died, she could still collect the autopsy fee by the way, which is also the best of both worlds! A corpse with five copper plates. No bullying! It's not in vain that she's just flipped through a few pages and made up the list they wrote.

No, they fell into the way of the wicked, and they all fainted to the ground.

Oh, that smoke? Or is it sweat medicine? Who's in charge of the evening meals? Is the other person still there? She asked habitually.

The lieutenant who answered glanced at her, and saw that she was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, born with an innocent appearance, but when she asked, she was very old, and she did not dare to slack off at the moment, and hurriedly replied: "We all eat the same food, and we only change shifts after dinner, and they have not eaten anything else during the standing guard." ”

A sergeant led them to the cabin where the bride price was stored, and Xian'an walked very slowly, looking east and west along the way, and as soon as he bent down into the hatch, he stopped his steps, sniffed several times in a row, turned around and said with a smile: "Da Mou, you smell, this smoke among them is really good, it still smells of cucumbers." ”

Mu Yue also sniffed and said, "The dinner on their ship must have made fried chicken eggs with cucumber slices." ”

I said it! Why do I get hungry when I smell it. Xian'an suddenly realized.

"Have you ever been hungry?" Mu Yue teased her casually, leaned over to the cabin, and saw three or four sergeants sitting crookedly on the ground. It does look like he's been smoked.

Lu Jin then followed, this cabin is less than two feet long, about a foot wide, and there is only one door and one window in the cabin, which is no different from an ordinary cabin.

"How many boxes are there for the gifts?" He asked Sonam Xing.

"Back to the thousands of households, there are a total of eight boxes of not only gold, silver and jade and other utensils, but also calligraphy, painting and silk." Sonam Xing sighed again and again: "Before leaving, General Qiu repeatedly told him that he was also cautious below, this station ship escorted the congratulatory gifts, and he didn't dare to let others come forward, so as not to be able to see how many people were involved, but who would have thought that the gang of thieves would be so cunning ......!" ”

Lu Jin casually listened to Sonan Xing's complaints, although he didn't say anything, his expression was like a cold star, and his posture became more and more tall and handsome, and he was as cold as ice when he was silent.

He saw Cui Xian'an half-squatting on the ground, his nails scraping lightly on the floor, putting it to his nose and sniffing lightly.

There are drips of oil and wax everywhere on the ground! Footprints on it!

That's what you smell when you get on board, so much beeswax? It's a big deal. Just listen to her own words.

Oh...... This is the ......," explained the lieutenant who had just led the way, "and the cabin was damp, and I was afraid of the dampness of the ship because I was afraid of silk, calligraphy, paintings, etc., so I deliberately sealed the joints with beeswax. ”

Sonam nodded when he heard this: "Yes, this method is a proposal made by my lieutenant, it is all some precious things, and I am also afraid of mold, so it will not be good." ”

"I can't see it, but you're a fine person." Xian An smiled and didn't look at them, and Mu Yue and the two of them were like hanging out, walking around the cabin several times, Mu Yue squatted down in front of the unconscious sergeant, sniffed close to his mouth and nose, and frowned in disgust.

Turning around and shaking his head towards Xian'an, his figure turned his back to Sonan Xing and the others, and raised his eyebrows twice......

On the side, Lu Jin grabbed the wrist of another sergeant, and put his slender fingers on the man's pulse, carefully checking the pulse. Sonan Xing stepped forward and asked lightly, "How is the connection of the Thousand Households?" Are the sergeants worried about their lives? ”

After a while, Lu Jin stood with his hands in his hands, and his tone was indifferent: "In another three or four hours, after the effect of the medicine has passed, people will be able to wake up, and it will be okay to drink more water when pouring." ”

That's good." Sonam Xing breathed a sigh of relief, clenched his fists anxiously, and said in a rather melancholy tone: "Maybe they have seen thieves, and they can tell some clues when they wake up." I just hate that cold water can't wake them up, and Sonam Xing looks eager to try.

Hearing this, Xian An suddenly felt speechless, buttoned the wax crumbs in the cracks of his nails, sometimes turned his head to look at the scratches on the bulkhead, sometimes lowered his head and stretched out his hand to measure the floor, and finally stopped in front of the door panel.

Judging from the scratches on the door panel, the movement was so loud that the other party didn't take Sonan Xing and the others in their eyes at all, if these sergeants really saw the appearance of the gang of thieves, at this time, they wouldn't be sitting on the ground!

Sonan Xing didn't know for a long time, what kind of fame these two little catchers were doing, seeing them swaying unhurriedly, not to mention any clues, his heart was already extremely unbearable, if it weren't for Lu Jin's face, he would have been driven out a long time ago.

Since that night on Tangshui Street, I heard her speak and pointed out the flaws in the clothes of the Lang Lang, and now I know that she is following Mu Chengwan, Lu Jin really wants to see the detective tracking technique mentioned by his father, so he is not in a hurry, and slowly waits for the two of them to investigate in the cabin.

The more details he saw, the more doubts in Xian'an's eyes grew, and after looking at Mu Yue for a while, he somewhat understood what Mu Chengwan had told him before-'Don't talk nonsense'. It's just that if the case is really like this, it is really boring, she straightened up and pouted secretly, secretly thinking that it would be right to go back to the ship earlier and get some sleep.

"Do you have a clue?" Without missing her subtle expression, Lu Jin immediately asked.

This ......" Xian An glanced at Mu Yue before he said slowly, "The thief has left almost no useful clues, and I am afraid that there is nothing we can do." ”

Mu Yue nodded again and again, unable to tell whether he was agreeing with Xian'an's words or praising her for saying so well.

Sonam Xing waved his hand, with a look that he had expected a long time ago: "This is not an ordinary petty theft, it is not strange that you can't find out, it's okay, I don't expect you to get off the boat." ”

Tired and yawned, Xian'an didn't plan to meet him in general, and he was about to leave after dragging Mu Yue, but he heard Sonan Xing still sighing at Lu Jin behind his back......

"Actually, I know that almost all the cases in the capital are now, Jinyi Wei Nanbei Zhenfu Division is handling it, and the six doors are just a false name, raising a group of idlers, and often the cases can't be found out and pushed to you ......."

Hearing this, Cui Xian'an stopped, turned to Sonan Xing and the others, and said expressionlessly: "Although I am not talented, it is not that I don't have half a clue, these boxes of yours are all red lacquered camphor wood boxes, two feet nine long, one foot seven wide, and two feet three high, right?" ”

"You, have you seen these boxes?" Sonam Xing's face was incredible.

Xian'an pointed to the beeswax marks on the floor: "It's just speculation!" The puddle of wax marks on the ground is so obvious that it's hard to pretend you can't see it! Instead of worrying about the world here, it is better to check yourself well, the noise of carrying the box must be not small, indicating that the other party has no fear, and he did not take the others in his eyes at all. ”

How so?" Lu Jin stared at her and asked.

Xian'an pointed at him, and said solemnly in his position in front of the door panel: "There are several scratches on the wooden door frame, which can still be visible to the naked eye, and the scratches extend in the outer direction. Of course, it can also be said that someone else scratched it a long time ago, but! If the scratches are more than two days or more than two days, there will be mildew spots in the dents, and the wood will not deceive people. ”

Lu Jin looked at the position pointed by Cui Xian'an, and sure enough, there were a few scratches that rolled up the sawdust, and the direction in which the sawdust hung was from the inside to the outside, and from the wood color, it was not yet damp, and the height of these scratches also matched the height of the congratulatory gift box......

Seeing that Lu Jin was deep in thought, Mu Yue coughed heavily a few times, signaling Xian'an not to say any more.

Mu Yue said: "Although I can see some clues, but this case is extremely complicated, we are just a small arrest, the experience is still shallow, I only know that it was done by a group of Jiangyang thieves, the number of people should be about four to six people, skillful, obviously a habitual offender, at this moment, I am afraid that people have gone down the river, far away from several miles, difficult to track." ”

Xian'an squinted at him, and finally barely held back from speaking.

After listening for a long time, Sonan Xing was able to interject, and nodded again and again: "There are many branches of the Jiangnan Grand Canal, if the thief has gone down the river, how can he track it?" Suo Mou was favored by the general, and now he really has no shame to go back to see the general's ....... "Full of melancholy.

didn't take care of Sonan Xing's emotions at all, and said in a playful tone: "Lieutenant Suo must think about it, don't do suicide, otherwise it would be a pity, and now this set of rich and noble ......?" ”

You ...... What does this mean? Sonam stared at Xian'an fiercely, with obvious anger in his eyes.

What she means is that Master Suo can do things under General Qiu, this set of wealth is not easy, I am really envious, very envious." Mu Yue rushed to play a round before opening his mouth this summer, and bowed his hand to Sonan Xing, which meant that we were going to leave.

For these two little catchers, Sonan Xing also seemed to have exhausted all his patience, and made a gesture of invitation rather dissatisfied. Fang Cai said to Lu Jin: "Lord Qianhu, if you look at the people of the six doors, either they will shirk their eyes and be sick, or they will say something out of the blue, and in the end, they can't help at all." ”

Lu Jin coughed lightly twice, and also bowed his hand to Sonan Xing and said, "Lieutenant Suo doesn't have to worry too much, when the sergeants wake up, the case may still have a turnaround." ”

Sonan Xing only made a sad face, and after returning the salute, he asked the captain to send Lu Jin off the ship.
