Three major cases occurred in succession in three months.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Cao Shilang Yan Xiang, a guest of the Ministry of Rites, was killed at home, but his family was not injured.

On the 6th day of the first month of February, Xu Jinggong, a doctor of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court, was assassinated on the way home, injured his five internal organs, and died.

On the 27th of March, Wu Weizheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and his family were killed, and none of the 27 people survived.

The modus operandi is very similar, the results of the coroner of the criminal department are that they were all killed with a knife, and the extra scars were forged after the killing, which was obviously done by one person, such a big case, involving a number of important ministers of the court, has endangered the community, Chen Wang Yan was furious, and severely reprimanded the governor in charge of the safety of the royal city in the main hall, reprimanded him for his incompetence, degraded the internal governor Wei Yong, and demoted three levels in a row, to assist the criminal department and the divine arrest department to investigate the case, if you can't make meritorious service to the crime, you will be demoted to the common people, and you will not be hired for life.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department moved quickly, and he had already ordered his capable subordinates to investigate day and night. However, Zhuo Zhenggong, who is known for his ability, did not take action for a long time, but only asked for a decree a few days ago to transfer a new executive commander of Lizhou to the royal capital to assist in handling the case.

No one knows Zhuo Zhenggong's true intentions, there are still three of the Seven Gods in the royal capital, why did he call a little-known small line?

"This is the dossier, and your brand has permission to view it." Chu Qingqing eagerly led Liu Shuang to familiarize himself with the Divine Capture Division, this kid with a hippie smile, how could it not match the rumored smart young man who solved two major cases in a row.

Just now, Lord Zhuo gave him the gold medal of the Divine Catcher, and let him lead him to familiarize himself with the Divine Capture Division first, and then cooperate with her and the third brother Fang Junyue to handle the case, there are so many good players in the Division, needless to say, it is rare that the second sister is about to come back, and I don't know what medicine is sold in Zhuo Sidian's gourd.

"Sister Xie Chu!" Although she is a little coquettish, Liu Shuang has a good impression of her.

"The Divine Capture Division is no better than your Lizhou Division, don't talk nonsense when you see anything!" Chu Qingqing suddenly looked up and asked, "What do you think are suspicious about these three cases?" ”

Although I have heard it for a long time, and Fang Junyue has also said it roughly just now, but if he can continue to commit crimes in the royal city, such as the patrol of the net, in addition to his extraordinary skills, I am afraid that he is inseparable from the powerful people of the court.

"I think the reason why Lord Zhuo transferred me to the royal capital." Liu Shuang didn't answer, groaned, his sword eyebrows furrowed, "Maybe I realized that this case would inevitably involve important ministers in the court, and I suddenly made a career, without roots and bottoms, and it was easier to do things." ”

"Smart people don't hate it." A pear vortex smile bloomed at the corner of Chu Qingqing's mouth, "If it was just for this reason, then Lord Zhuo would not be Lord Zhuo today." ”

"Oh?" Liu Shuang was puzzled, looking at Chu Qingqing, who was laughing, with the delicate and clear nature of a girl.

"Holding the gold medal of the Seven Gods, you are not subject to curfew, and you can freely enter and leave the royal city." Chu Qingqing raised her eyebrows, "I'm going to visit Shangshu Mansion at night, are you interested?" ”

"Of course!" Liu's eyes lit up, he liked to explore the crime scene late at night, especially the cases that happened late at night.

"Shhhhh......h ”

"I didn't expect you to be so afraid of the third son!" Liu Shuang clasped his hands and laughed.

"Stupid!" Chu Qingqing's fist slammed into the chest of Li Zhou Xingling, who was half a head taller than her, "I'm - it's ......"

After being speechless for a while, Chu Qingqing's pale cheeks flushed.

"Oops, the seventh prince is beating people again!" Liu Shuang clutched his chest and pretended to be injured.

"Hey, Miss Ben is going to have to beat you up today!"

………………

In the Ming Zheng Hall, the middle-aged man in a gray linen robe and a light robe slowly closed the file in his hand, his eyes fluttering.

He had just flipped through a few pages, but he hadn't thought a word.

The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Industry involved three important ministers of the dynasty, and there had never been such a big case...... I'm afraid that the most worrying thing is that the murderer's next target will be himself.

"Priest." Fang Junyue has followed Zhuo Zhenggong for many years, and has never seen this man who has been in a trance for a long time, "Why are you so restless these days?" ”

"I have a sense of foreboding that these cases are by no means that simple." Zhuo Zhenggong's brows furrowed, and the man who was originally Luo Tuo looked extremely depressed at the moment, "The forces behind it are probably far more than we imagined." ”

"......" Fang Junyue wanted to say something, but he couldn't find a suitable language for a while, opened his mouth, and stopped talking.

"What are the two kids doing?" Thinking of those two young people, Zhuo Zhenggong's frowning brows stretched slightly, as if he was facing his own juniors.

"Fights are inevitable." Fang Junyue also showed a doting smile, for the delicate young lady who was born in a powerful family, at first he also had a lot of complaints, but in the past three years, the girl who has become a beauty from a girl, but is dedicated to doing things, even if she has the delicate and brutal spirit that only a noble lady has, but she has never shown a delicate girl is really admirable.

"A few of you, there are no people who are similar to the young people, and you are still a little less angry on weekdays, after all, the child is only twenty-one years old, and when Brother Liu came, it can be seen that Qingqing is still very happy." Zhuo Zhenggong stroked his calloused knuckles, and his eyebrows and eyes became gentle.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that since the day when Chu Qingqing knelt outside the Divine Capture Division for three days and three nights and asked to enter the Divine Capture Division, Zhuo Sidian's face, who was originally not smiling, occasionally began to show a soft smile.

"Ask Zhuo Sidian to accept Qingqing into the company!" The young and beautiful girl knelt at the door of the god hunting division and begged, and the passers-by whispered sideways.

"Lord Zhuo has an order, the Divine Capture Division is an extraordinary mansion, don't mess around like this again!" It was he who gave the order for Lord Zhuo, hoping that this girl would retreat in the face of difficulties.

"If Zhuo Sidian doesn't accept Qingqing, Qingqing won't be able to kneel for a long time." The creamy girl insisted categorically.

Fang Junyue shook his head and sighed, there are not ten or eight people like her over the years, all of them have been expelled by Zhuo Sidian's strictness, this girl is so delicate, the Divine Capture Division is indeed not where she should be.

"She has been kneeling outside the door for three days, and if she doesn't eat or drink, she can't hold on." Fang Junyue was a little unbearable, looking at the girl's face that was pale because of hunger, and kneeling down again, those legs were afraid that they would be crippled.

"—let her in." After being silent for a long time, Zhuo Zhenggong finally spoke.

"It's my lord!" Fang Junyue didn't know why he was actually a little happy, and the smile couldn't help but overflow the corners of his mouth.

At that time, why did Lord Zhuo finally accept Qingqing into the company, because of her father, who was a high-ranking official? Or do you want to give the girl shelter and home after escaping from marriage without permission?

Maybe it doesn't matter, looking at that lively and bright girl, Lord Zhuo's eyes are as soft as a master and a father.

"They seem to have agreed to visit Shangshu Mansion at night tonight." Fang Junyue hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully.

"Let them go, the Divine Catcher will be handed over to you young people one day, those two children are very smart, I like it very much." Zhuo Zhenggong unexpectedly did not stop him, "Although Qingqing is a little arrogant, but there is never a mistake in proportion, Little Brother Liu is very good and astute, and he has a bright future if he doesn't take the wrong path." ”

"Yes." Fang Junyue retired.

"Grand Hyatt." Zhuo Zhenggong stopped his subordinates, "You follow them, don't be discovered." ”

"Yes."

"Don't help unless you have to." Zhuo Zhenggong hesitated for a moment and instructed.

"Yes."

………………

The twilight encircled from all directions, and the night of the royal capital was no different from that of ordinary prefectures and counties, the same silence, the same candle flame gradually extinguished.

If you have to find out different places, except for the rumored ghost market street where the North Market will only open at night, it may be the drunken restaurant of Wang Du, the rich businessman who spends his money, and the girl who smiles and loves each other, squandering a lot of lights.

The moonlight is hidden by thick clouds, in the dark night, the light of the stars lit up in the gold cave reflects the twinkling stars, and in the early spring night, the north wind is still cool and sandwiched.

Through the darkness of the night, two agile shadows stepped on the ridge of the roof and quickly disappeared into the ink-splashed darkness.

"Stupid, you can keep up with me!" The delicate woman in a tight night suit lowered her voice and said to the man in black who followed closely behind.

"Sister Chu is so handsome, but she inherited the teachings of Shen of the Hidden School Palace?" Liu Shuangqing didn't learn very well, and he struggled to keep up with Chu Qingqing's steps.

"Do you know Master Shen?" Chu Qingqing was stunned, and his pace slowed down slightly.

Liu Shuang's toes tapped, jumped up from a roof, and when he fell, it was already a wall on the side, "The ears and eyes of the Divine Capture Division are all over the Chen Kingdom, perhaps, all over the world, how could Sister Chu not know Liu Shuang's origin?" ”

"Liu Shuang, a native of Luocheng, Huzhou, begged his father when he was a child, and lived in the mountain temple in the north valley of Luocheng, worried about food every day, at the age of nine, his father died. When the monks of Chengyin Temple traveled to Los Angeles, they took pity on their sufferings and accepted them as lay disciples. And plus Kwai often go back and forth to the Chengyin School Palace. Liu Shuang thought to himself about the record he saw in the Divine Capture Division's dossier pavilion, maybe it was because he was a small person before, and he was still vague in the end, but even such a small person as himself was recorded, how deep was the means of the Divine Capture Division.

"I did underestimate you......" Chu Qingqing secretly admired, "My father is Chu Xiongcai, the governor of Huzhou, I think you also know that when I was young, Master Shen would often come to the house to teach my brothers. ”

"Master Shen is okay, I haven't seen him for five years." Chu Qingqing thought of the middle-aged man who always had a smile on his face, his thin face and cheekbones were high, but he was meticulous in teaching martial arts, it was said that Master Shen's light martial arts body was one of the best even in the school palace.

"Well, I'm just an outer student of the Academy, and I've only met a few times."

"The front is Shangshu Mansion, and now it has long been banned, and no one is allowed to enter without the personal permission of Lord Zhuo and Master Li of the Criminal Department." Chu Qingqing was familiar with the road, and when she explored the scene that day, she was also there.

"Let's go in through the back wall." Chu Qingqing whispered, tiptoeing to avoid the double blockade of the Criminal Department and the Divine Capture Division.

More than a dozen patrolling guards were on crutches, yawning and drowsy, waiting for their comrades to take over, the job of guarding the crime scene was still easy, after all, few people would be willing to approach this cold place of death, the guards led by him told his subordinates to raise their spirits, and their upper and lower eyelids fought again.

"Knock-knock! Boom! Boom! The sound of the gong gradually disappeared at the end of the street, and the fire in the old man's hand disappeared in the corner of the alley.

The patrol battalion in charge of patrolling the night was more spirited, they were in groups of ten, holding lanterns, and their long swords reflected the firelight, revealing the chill of slaughter.

"Let's go-" Chu Qingqing was familiar with the shift change time and blind spots of the patrol battalion and guards, and he jumped lightly first, and had already climbed over the wall and tiptoed into the Shangshu Mansion.

Squinting at Liu Shuang following closely behind, Chu Qingqing took a few steps and stood tightly against the window lattice.

By occasionally penetrating the moonlight through the thick clouds, Liu Shuang looked around, this Shangshu Mansion is quite big, fortunately, no one would have thought that the Seven Divine Catches of the Divine Capture Division would also secretly visit the scene at night, the two of them would not have to be so careful, but if they probed with great fanfare, the murderer would definitely know a thing or two.

"Squeak-ah-" In just a few days, the originally magnificent Shangshu Mansion became like this, and even the windows made a subtle sound like it had fallen into disrepair.

The two of them jumped up lightly, the night covered their figures, and the two of them slipped into the inner room quietly, carefully avoiding a few bodies, tiptoeing, in the dark, tacitly concentrating.

"When does Shangshu Mansion usually close?" Liu Shuang wiped along the floor, then leaned to the tip of his nose and sniffed. The royal capital is different from ordinary prefectures and counties, there is a strict curfew, and the princes and grandsons are inevitable, even the restaurants with bright lights and wine, in the middle of the night, they have to close their doors to thank customers, and the guests who stay overnight can only wait for dawn to leave.

"He was killed on the night of March 27, there was no court meeting that day, and the official family's house was usually closed after the second watch, and everyone would rest later, about after the second watch." Chu Qingqing had already probed during the day, and her watery eyes looked around, simulating the murderer's possible way of committing the crime in her heart.

"I heard Master Fang say that when he just played the fourth watch, he and Lord Zhuo arrived late. The husband didn't know anything about it. Liu Shuang groaned, "I think, instead of looking for this case, it is better to think about what Yan Shilang, Dr. Xu, and Wu Shangshu have offended the common enemy." ”

"A common enemy? Zhuo Sidian and the third brother also thought about this, but they didn't know where to start, Lord Xu was a doctor of the Luge Pavilion, and there must be a lot of people who offended, Lord Wu was in the position of Shangshu, and he couldn't count the number of people who wanted to murder him, but Yan Shilang, although he had authority, it was difficult to offend anyone. Chu Qingqing's delicate brows were tightly locked, she who had been bathed in officialdom since she was a child naturally had a lot of power schemes, and her father had set a family affair for her early, although she was only the son of a county guard.

"I read the files of the three adults, and there is indeed no trace." Liu Shuang thought about it for a long time, but still said slowly, "However, from the files of other adults in the court, I can still see some clues. ”

"You read through the library in an afternoon?" Chu Qingqing was stunned, her clear black eyes widened, she was a genius in the family, her brothers had to learn body moves for half a month, and she only needed one day. Since entering the Divine Capture Division, all large and small cases have been handled, Zhuo Zhenggong has cultivated her intentionally or unintentionally, and she has lived up to expectations, in addition to making extraordinary progress in martial arts, she has also steadily improved her mind and strategy, so this time she was sent to cooperate with the third brother to handle such a big case. It's just that I never thought that this small line of orders from Lizhou would have such extraordinary abilities.

In the lonely and cold night, the bright-eyed woman looked at the Lizhou Decree that was close at hand, and there was a trace of vigilance in her autumn-like eyes in addition to questions.
