Suzaku Street is the main street that runs through Kyoto, and the streets are lined with shops, and now that it's spring, the weather is getting warmer, and there are more people visiting relatives and friends, making the town even more lively.

Wei Zhao and his entourage wandered around the street aimlessly, buying some snacks or trinkets from roadside vendors from time to time, which were not expensive but also somewhat interesting.

Luo Lan has been detained since she went to Beijing, nesting with Li Wan'er all day long, she has a lively nature, she has been quite aggrieved these days, and now she can come out to relax, and she is in a very happy mood.

A few people were wandering around, when suddenly a little boy ran from behind and bumped into Wei Zhao's body.

Wei Zhao was defenseless and was almost knocked down, but fortunately, Li Wan'er on the side helped him not to fall.

The boy was very panicked when he saw that he had hit someone, and hurriedly ran forward, as if he was afraid that Wei Zhao and the others would find trouble with him.

Wei Zhao stood up straight, suddenly felt that something was wrong, reached out and touched his chest, and the place where the jade pendant was originally hung was empty.

Oops! The jade pendant is gone!

This jade pendant has been with Wei Zhao for two lifetimes, and the meaning to him is extraordinary, not to mention that the clinic is in the jade pendant, if the jade pendant is lost......

Wei Zhao didn't dare to think about it, and said to Li Wan'er and Luo Lan on the side: "That kid stole my jade pendant!" ”

Li Wan'er and the others were stunned for a moment, and then reacted, Wei Zhao only felt that a black shadow flashed in front of him, and Luo Lan's figure disappeared.

Wei Zhao and Li Wan'er hurriedly chased after them.

The two ran for a while, and saw a group of people in front of them surrounding an alley, and Luo Lan's voice was faintly heard inside, and they hurriedly squeezed through the crowd to check.

At the mouth of the alley, a young man sat on the ground, staring at a corpse in front of him, Luo Lan stood next to him, and explained to the people around him with some impatience: "I have seen him dead when I came over just now, I didn't kill anyone!" ”

Seeing Wei Zhao, Luo Lan seemed to see a savior, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly ran to him.

"What's going on?" Wei Zhao was a little confused, how could he still kill a thief after chasing a thief?

Luo Lan hurriedly said: "I don't know, when I ran after the man, I saw him sitting on the ground, the man was dead, and before I could react, a group of people came and said that I had killed someone." ”

Wei Zhao took two steps forward, squatted down and looked at the dead man on the ground.

He looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with a delicate face, a red spot on the left side of his face, which looked like a corpse spot, and he was wearing an ordinary cotton robe, which was already stained with blood, revealing some bruises on his arm, and a wound.

As he was inspecting the room, he heard a sound of footsteps, and then the crowd dispersed, and a team of errand officers wearing Jing Zhaoyin's patrol suit rushed over and surrounded Wei Zhao and the boy.

"What's going on?" The leader was dressed in golden soft armor, and he didn't look very old, but his face was cold, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt very frightened, as if he had a bad spirit.

As soon as the onlookers saw that the people from the government were coming, they immediately told me everything about it.

After hearing this, the man turned his head to look at Wei Zhao and the others, glanced at the corpses on the ground again, waved his hand, and ordered his subordinates: "Take it away!" ”

Wei Zhao frowned, arresting people without asking anything? How did the officials in the capital handle the case?

"Wait!" He stretched out his hand to block the servant who came forward to grab his arm, and turned his head to look at the man in the lead: "I wonder why the Lord arrested us?" ”

The man at the head squinted, as if he didn't expect Wei Zhao to dare to ask him like this, hooked the corners of his lips for a moment and said, pointed at Luo Lan and said, "She killed someone." ”

Wei Zhao also hooked his lips and smiled, pointing to the corpse on the ground: "Murder? This man is already dead, do you mean that the maid below killed a dead man? ”

As soon as his voice fell, the onlookers were stunned for a moment, and then began to talk again.

"Died early? Obviously, I passed by here just now, and I didn't see a dead person, but this girl fell here when she came, how could she die early? ”

Wei Zhao squatted down, laid down the corpse lying on the side facing the wall, pointed to the corpse spots on the corpse and said: "This person's corpse spots have already come out, the time of death is at least two hours or more, and the blood stains on his body have dried up, if my maid kills someone, he should still have body temperature now, and there should also be blood stains on the ground." ”

Only then did the person in the lead see the corpse clearly, but as Wei Zhao said, the blood stains on the man's body had dried up, there was no fresh blood on the ground, and the corpse spots on his face were obvious.

The onlookers didn't understand the relationship between the corpse spots and the time of death, but they understood Wei Zhao's other evidence, and understood that this person's death was indeed not the girl's doing, and began to discuss it again.

The expression on the face of the leader did not change, and he did not wronged Wei Zhao and the others because of the weakness of their hearts, waved his hand to let his subordinates drive the onlookers away from the scene, and said to Wei Zhao: "Since this prince's maid is the first person to come into contact with the corpse, then please move to the government office and help the yamen solve the case as soon as possible." ”

Wei Zhao tugged at the corners of his mouth, not wanting to provoke this kind of right and wrong, but his jade pendant was still in the child's hand, and Luo Lan, as the first person to arrive at the scene, was inevitably questioned, so he nodded.

The servants found a door panel and carried the deceased, Wei Zhao and a few people followed, and the group walked towards the Shuntian Mansion.

The young man who stole the jade pendant seemed to be frightened silly, and from the beginning his eyes were dull and did not say a word, quietly following behind everyone.

Not far from the place where the incident occurred, a teenager dressed as a subordinate kept staring at them, and left in a hurry when he saw that the group was gone.

Shuntian Mansion Yin Tang Wenqing has been very bad recently, to be precise, he has not been happy since he was transferred to Shuntian Mansion Yin, this Mansion Yin sounds like a scenery, but at the feet of this Tianzi, high-ranking officials and nobles are everywhere, and the human feelings are complicated, an old man who sells vegetables may have something to do with a certain high-ranking official, he was born in poverty, has no foundation, and relies on his wife to gain a firm foothold in this capital, naturally no one can afford to offend, and I don't know how much hair has been lost since taking office.

Today, Tang Wenqing was sorting out the files in the study, and suddenly heard his subordinates report that the murder case had been reported, and the body and the person who found the body had been brought, and his mind jumped suddenly.

He got up and was about to go to the main hall, but when he saw that the official who had come to report was about to stop talking, he stopped and asked him, "What else is the matter?" ”

The official hurriedly said: "The one who sent the person is Lord Miao, the commander of the Praetorian Guard. ”

Tang Wenqing was stunned for a moment, and then his brain jumped a few times, Miao Yang, how is this living Hades, could it be that the deceased is someone from his family?

The official seemed to see his thoughts, and quickly explained: "Lord Miao passed by the scene, and when he saw that something was wrong, he stepped forward to inquire and brought all the people involved. ”

Tang Wenqing heard that the dead had nothing to do with Miao Yang, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to slack off, and went out with his clothes and hat.
