In Chang'an, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the whirring wind was like the cry of the ghosts of hell, and the bare branches were also blown and bent, as if to test their flexibility. The lantern under the eaves was also blown and swayed, like a monster struggling desperately, trying to break free from the ropes that bound it.

"Young master, it's too windy today, should we still go?"

Xiao Yue covered his eyes with his hands to prevent the flying sand from falling into his eyes, and then said to Fang Jue, who was in the same posture on the side.

The weather is a little weird, last night was fine, but in the morning I was woken up by the sound of the strange wind churning the tiles.

With such a strong wind, there were few people on Chang'an Street, all of them hid in the house, waiting for the strong wind to pass before going out.

Fang Jue insisted on going out, he wanted to go to the Criminal Investigation Department to see Qin Hongyan, even if he had to go under the knife.

The carriage was ready, and because the wind was so strong, even the horses kept stomping and neighing, as if to tell their masters that it was not advisable to go out today.

Before Fang Jue got into the carriage, the carriage was actually blown back by the wind, and the reins holding the horse suddenly broke.

With a bang, the carriage was blown against a big tree, and the wheels of the carriage were also knocked down.

The guards at the door were also leaning against the wall at the moment, for fear of being blown away by the wind, and they all squinted half-squinting as the carriage was overturned to the ground.

You don't let me go out, I want to go out, Fang Jue pulled a horse hard, even if the horse was a little reluctant, he still started to walk slowly under Fang Jue's control.

Xiao Yue couldn't persuade Fang Jue, because Qin Hongyan was more important to Fang Jue, so he had to ride on the horse and follow, and the two of them were half-arched, clinging to the horse's back, so as to reduce the resistance of the wind.

The demon wind was blowing everywhere on the street, blowing everything that could be blown, and a few people who regarded wealth as their life, seeing their things being blown away, did not care about the danger, and hurriedly covered their heads to chase after them.

At this moment, several officials in charge of the Criminal Investigation Department were sitting together to discuss, and the person sitting in the main seat was an old man with gray hair, wearing a black official uniform, and he looked a little thin.

Because of the strong wind, the door of the main hall has been closed, and there is a large stove in the middle, and several personnel of the Criminal Investigation Department who have just returned are warming up by the stove at the moment.

The man on the throne suddenly spoke, "The hour is getting short, let's start." ”

Then everyone sat down, and everyone looked at the old man on the throne.

Just as everyone began to discuss, the door of the main hall suddenly opened, and a strong wind blew in their faces, carrying some dust, so that all the officials couldn't help but stretch out their sleeves to block it.

The first person to come was a man in his early thirties, followed by a group of subordinates of the Criminal Investigation Division.

This is Liu Yu, the second-in-command of the Criminal Investigation Department, he just went to the East Palace to report to work, and as soon as he came back at this moment, he walked straight into the main hall, except for the people on the main seat, everyone else stood up.

"Sit down."

Liu Yu walked to his place, and then beckoned everyone to sit down, not caring about the old man on the main seat at all. Because in his opinion, the person on this throne should have been changed a long time ago, but he was old in seniority and had some trust from the emperor.

The person on the main throne is surnamed Fang, named Fang Yun, he has been in the Criminal Investigation Department for more than 20 years, and he is considered an old qualification, but this person has grown a lot older, and his contribution to the Criminal Investigation Department has decreased a lot.

Fang Yun looked at Liu Yu so arrogant, but he still couldn't bear to speak, he knew that Liu Yu and the prince were close, and the emperor attached great importance to the prince, so he could only endure it.

Such an atmosphere seems a little weird, as long as Liu Yu doesn't speak, others

No one dared to speak first.

"Lord Fang, the prince ordered me to be in charge of the case of the murder of the proton, this Qin Hongyan of Xiaoxiang Night Tower should be handed over to me for trial, I heard that the lord did not wait for me, so he was punished." Liu Yu questioned slightly, not caring that Fang Yun was his boss.

"Lord Liu, don't forget, the emperor ordered me to investigate the case of the Eye of the Hidden Dragon, and this official found out that this woman surnamed Qin is also related to the case investigated by the official, and it is likely that she is a member of the Eye of the Hidden Dragon."

Fang Yun also took the emperor to suppress Liu Yu, and the prince also obeyed the emperor, so the Criminal Investigation Department had to have the final say on him.

"Since Lord Fang said that it is very likely, then I still can't be sure, then please ask Lord Fang to hand over the person to me." Liu Yu seized Fang Yun's language loophole to fight back.

The scene was very solemn, except for the two adults who had a verbal dispute, everyone else looked at it dryly, and did not take a stand. Working in the Criminal Investigation Department, who doesn't know that Liu Yu is likely to be the next chief officer of the Criminal Investigation Department, and he will have to see Liu Yu's face to eat in the future. But after all, the current chief official is Fang Yun, which is related to whether he can have food today.

Just when the two were arguing over their lips, a small official from the Criminal Investigation Department came over to report and said that Qin Hongyan would rather die than give in, without saying a word, and that the Criminal Investigation Department's criminal law had been used for more than half of it, and if he continued to ask questions, he was afraid that he would die.

"Fang Yun, if you kill this woman, if you can't solve the case of Proton, how can you explain to the prince." Liu Yu didn't wait for Fang Yun to attack, and yelled at the little official of the Criminal Investigation Department who came to report: "Bring her up for me." ”

Fang Yun was obviously a little powerless when he was old, his old face was flushed, and he was completely suppressed by Liu Yu's momentum.

Soon Qin Hongyan was brought over, his face was covered with blood, his clothes had been whipped to tatters, Qin Hongyan's lips were a little purple, his face was pale, but his eyes looked at all the people in the hall with resentment.

"You can interrogate people, but you must not take them away."

Although Fang Yun is a little weak, he still has to save some face for himself, if he just lets Liu Yu take people away, then the people under his hands may not obey him in the future, and the entire Criminal Investigation Department is probably really Liu Yu alone.

Liu Yu also knew that Fang Yun had already made concessions, and he had no right to forcibly take people away, so he just stopped fighting, and he had to learn more information from Qin Hongyan.

Liu Yu wanted to take Qin Hongyan away not only for the case of the murder of the proton, but also for the case of the Eye of the Hidden Dragon, although Fang Yun was the chief official, he could also investigate this case, if the Eye of the Hidden Dragon was found out by him first, then Liu Yu's replacement of Fang Yun's position would really not be far away.

Liu Yu looked at Qin Hongyan who had been tortured to the point that she was unbearable, and in just one night, the woman with an extraordinary bearing yesterday had completely changed her appearance at this moment.

Liu Yu was not ready to punish Qin Hongyan again, because he had been in the Criminal Investigation Department for so many years, and he knew very well that the woman in front of him could not withstand any toss.

Liu Yu slowly walked up to Qin Hongyan, he reached out to hold Qin Hongyan's chin, but unexpectedly, Qin Hongyan sprayed a mouthful of spit at Liu Yu, Liu Yu was not in a hurry to dodge, and was still sprayed to his chest.

Qin Hongyan looked at Liu Yu with resentful eyes, she had heard the torture of the Criminal Investigation Division, and when she experienced it herself, she was even more convinced that this cruel and inhumane method was even more terrible than the legend.

A hint of pride flashed in Fang Yun's old eyes, and when he saw Liu Yu being sprayed with blood by Qin Hongyan, he knew that Liu Yu was afraid that he would be angry. Fang Yun didn't know that if Liu Yu became angry and tortured the woman in front of him a little more, I am afraid that this woman would not be able to live.

Fang Yun knew that this woman was powerful, and she was worthy of being the owner of the most famous night building in Chang'an, and she had endured most of the criminal law of the Criminal Investigation Department without saying a word. I'm afraid I won't be able to ask any clues next, but if he is killed by Liu Yu, then he will have a reason to make Liu Yu's life difficult.
