Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Appetizer for the Head Catcher
The moon is in the west, and the guests have not yet appeared.
Cang'er is inevitably a little anxious, and the short knife is a person with a flower and a peach in Dali Temple. The electric road brand catches the fast name nominally belongs to the patrol of the new Beijing Division, but it is actually a secret force of Jiang Tao, and it is famous for the patrol division of the New Beijing Division, and the control is in the hands of Jiang Tao. Not only that, Du Sanye, Bian Dan, and Pole are all people found by Jiang Tao, as long as Jiang Tao is willing, the four card heads are divided into different kinds of anti-water, and the dignified head catcher Cang Er becomes the commander of the light pole.
The bamboo-handled short knife is the key to solving the series of homicides in Chang'an. Cang'er had to hit the muzzle of the gun, and it was up to the owner to beat the dog, and he had to know how to do it for a while before taking measures against the short knife.
Jiang Tao is the recommender of Cang'er, and has a close relationship with Master Cui Hu of Jingzhao Yin.
Cang'er reported to Master Cui: The series of murders in Chang'an are full of suspicions, and I want to ask a flower and peach in Dali Temple for guidance, and it is best to invite her to the morgue of the patrol compound. Ask for advice in person.
Cui Hu agreed, and immediately ordered the personal guard Lei Ting to rush to Dali Temple to bring the meaning of Cang'er to Jiang Tao.
After waiting for most of the night, it stands to reason that Jiang Tao should have appeared.
There was a faint fragrance of flowers in the wind, and there was a heavenly laughter in the fragrance of flowers, and then Cang'er saw the smile of the full moon of the peach.
It is said that the secret agent of Dali Temple, Jiang Tao, smiled and caught the thief, no matter who it was, as long as it was in the hands of Jiang Tao, it would be ruined under her fatal smile. I wonder if Cang'er's smile when he sees Jiang Tao will be fatal?
"Allure laughs at the drunken chrysanthemum, suspected to be a fairy under the moon in Yaotai." This was the first feeling that Cang'er had when he saw the peach.
In order to see the bright smile of the peach, the legendary flying thief robbed the palace at night, did a shocking case, and died without regrets.
Under the night sky, the peach who restored her daughter's outfit was slim and delicate, and her arrival made the morgue more charming.
Cang'er stood up and welcomed Jiang Tao: "I've been waiting for Tanhua for a long time." ”
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I'm a step late." The peach has bright eyes and bright teeth, and apologizes profusely.
Jiang Tao looked around, saw that there was wine on the table, and laughed: "I didn't expect the chief catcher to have a new face, and invited the guests to the morgue." ”
After laughing, Jiang Tao sat down, and Cang'er poured wine for him.
Cang'er showed off: "This is the newly launched Baihua wine in Chang'an Jiuchi, which is not usually sold to the public." It is said that the new shopkeeper of the wine pond is a man of temperament, and this Baihua wine is specially designed to entertain his friends who are vassals and elegant and appreciate the flowers and poems. Today's luck is particularly good, a little brother in the fishing room went to buy wine, and met a guy to send wine to the owner of the backyard, smelling the fragrance of the wine, so he bought it softly and hard. ”
Jiang Tao quipped, "Your subordinates are really good enough." ”
Cang'er laughed awkwardly.
He sent someone to buy wine in the wine pool because the old shopkeeper of the wine pool died in the hands of a young prodigal son, under a short knife with a bamboo handle. On the surface, he asked Jiang Tao for guidance, but in fact, he talked about the murderer and the murder weapon, and saw how Jiang Tao explained.
Jiang Tao was not polite, raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and said unfinished: "This wine is strong, have another glass." ”
Cang Er poured another cup for her, Jiang Tao drank it all in one gulp, and pushed the cup in front of Cang Er: "Pour it, pour it." ”
Cang'er saw that Jiang Tao was arrogant, and she lost the restraint she had when she first saw her daughter's outfit.
A few glasses of Baihua wine are in the stomach, the peach moon hangs on the eyebrows, and the xia is steamed, it is really the autumn moon, and the strange flowers are the first child. There is such a beauty in the world, Cang's ears are stupid and silent, and they forget to pour wine for themselves.
"It's a pity...... Pity! "The peach tongue is slightly astringent, and the speed of speech is slightly sluggish.
"What a pity?" Cang'er raised his eyebrows.
"It's a pity that there are no appetizers." The peach is still unfinished.
Cang'er pouted at the morgue with a smile in his eyes: "It's almost there." ”
In the morgue, the old knife was putting the final embalming on the two corpses that arrived later.
Jiang Tao screamed in horror: "No, always catch heads, these corpses are snacks?" ”
Cang'er poured wine, took a sip and said, "Why not?" ”
He said it with ease, and Momo's head grew.
Her eyes flowed, and when she saw Cang'er holding a wine glass staring at her without squinting, she smiled: "The appetizers look fresh, I don't know how it tastes?" ”
Cang'er laughed out loud: "Presumably, Tanhua also knows that there are two more 'guests' in my morgue." ”
The head of the peach.
Cang'er's gaze stopped on the back of the old knife, and said, "Do you think the old knife looks like a layjob?" ”
Jiang Tao raised his eyebrows: "The head catcher means that the old knife has read the secret on the back of the dead corpse?" ”
Cang'er acquiesces.
Jiang Tao smiled and rejuvenated: "This is a wonderful appetizer, and the little woman is happy and tight." The chief catcher has a large number of people, which is gratifying. ”
The four corpses are full of knives, intricate and complex, and the old knives are insightful with a pair of naked eyes, which is extraordinary.
"Chief catcher, the little woman will add you another appetizer." The peach showed something.
There is a familiar deadly flying knife on the table: a short knife with a bamboo handle.
There are also four identical bamboo-handled short knives in the morgue, and the old knife collector will bring them over, but I didn't expect Jiang Tao to show one first.
When Cang Er saw the short knife, his eyes suddenly lit up, in his eyes, this was a key to open the first door of the homicide. Cang'er was pleasantly surprised: "Oh my God! Do you have one in your hand? ”
Jiang Tao smiled: "This short knife has been in the rivers and lakes for many years. She pushed the short knife in front of Cang'ergen, "Do you see anything strange about the bamboo handle?" ”
Every inch of the handle and every bump are well understood. Cang'er asked rhetorically: "Does Tanhua refer to the faint marks on the bamboo handle?" ”
Jiang Tao said: "Yes, these marks are born from nature, and only one kind of bamboo will appear like this, the spotted bamboo that grows in the Jiuzhi Mountain of the Xiangjiang River." ”
Cang'er had a flash of inspiration and asked, "The legendary Xiangfei bamboo?" ”
Peach nodded.
Spotted bamboo is also known as Xiangfei bamboo, acacia bamboo. In the Hunan area, there is a beautiful mythical story: according to legend, Emperor Yao married his two daughters, Empress E and Nuying, to Shun, and called them "Lady Xiang". After the death of Emperor Shun, buried in the Jiuzhi Mountains, the two concubines wept bitterly, tears flew like rain, sprinkled on the bamboo forest, and there were a little tears on the bamboo. Since then, there have been countless celebrities who have come to explore and watch. They touched the scene, swayed thick ink, and expressed their feelings. There is also a poet Gao Biao who wrote "Xiangpu Song": "Emperor Yu did not return the southern tour, and the two concubines complained about the water and clouds. How much do you know about the tears at that time? Until now, bamboo and spots. The song reveals the mysterious relationship between Banzhu and Concubine Xiang, which is lingering and touching.
Jiang Tao condensed and said: "The first time I saw the marks on the handle of the knife, it was suspected that it was Xiangfei bamboo, but under closer inspection, I felt that it did not match, the spots on the Xiangfei bamboo were elegant purple, and the marks on the handle were crimson, just like the cuckoo crying blood." ”
Cang'er asked: "Could it be that the blood was splashed on it after the murder weapon was killed?" ”
Jiang Tao stared at Cang'er: "I don't have to answer this question, right?" ”
Cang's ear is embarrassed. He had scraped the spots with a knife, and the marks were natural, and they were definitely not stained by blood.
Jiang Tao pondered: "The green skin of the bamboo handle reminds me of the light bamboo in the southeast of Guizhou. The light bamboo is tall and beautiful, and the posture is slender and delicate. Looking at the straight and turquoise handle again, there are many similarities between the two appearances. What's more, when I heard it, the green aura that flashed from the hilt of the knife and the elegance of the light bamboo were different and compatible. So I speculate that the handle may have come from the land of light bamboo in southeast Guizhou. ”
After Jiang Tao finished speaking, he didn't forget to add to Cang'er: "You won't doubt my olfactory ability, right?" ”
Cang'er laughed dumbly, when the peach judged the hiding place of the palace thief by pollen, the thief was convinced, and I believe that no one in the world smelled the peach.
Except for Xiangfei bamboo, Cang'er has never heard of any kind of bamboo in the world.
Jiang Tao suddenly asked him: "Chief catcher, which animal is the most common in the bamboo forest?" ”
Cang Er was stunned.
Jiang Tao beat the knack and said: "The mouth of the green bamboo snake, the needle on the tail of the wasp." ”
Cang'er shrugged and moved: "Green Bamboo Snake? ”
The green bamboo snake, also known as the bamboo leaf green snake, is a highly venomous snake species that makes people pale and discolored, with a green back and devours people invisibly. The giant crown of the poisonous wonder of bamboo leaf green is the head of the poisonous snake, and the poisonous needle on the wasp's tail is as famous. The most terrifying thing is the way it attacks, and it is sure to hit with one hit.
However, what does the bamboo leaf green snake have to do with the bamboo handle short knife? Cang Er was puzzled.
Jiang Tao lightly opened the jade teeth: "I have checked countless cases in Dali Temple, and finally found the relevant records, twenty years ago, the 'happy door' was born in the southeast of Guizhou light bamboo primeval forest, the disciples each hand a bamboo handle short knife, they named the bamboo handle short knife 'bamboo leaf green'. The bamboo leaves were killed in an instant, and the crimson spots on the handle of the knife were born from this. ”
