Fourteen corpses, male and female, were placed side by side in the cabin of the "Lan Gui Fang". Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe women are only in their twenties, their faces are dressed with heavy makeup, and their bodies are even more delicate under the wrapping of well-tailored leno shirts. But these living women have now turned into corpses, but they can only make people sigh.

Seeing that Yang Zhen's gaze only swept over the faces of these women, the two people who didn't know their identities only smiled secretly: "It's a young man after all, I don't know where I am when I see a beauty." It's rare to see even a corpse so fascinating. ”

But Yang Zhen's words later made them stunned, and then they became a little annoyed. What is the only one for the dead? Will they still miss something? It's just a painting boat, it's a big place, how could they make such a mistake?

Even Chang Huai was unhappy, but because of Yang Zhen's identity, he asked: "What do you mean by this?" Did you find anything? ”

Yang Zhen pointed to the corpses of the women: "I remember that there was another boat lady on the boat, but she was not among them. ”

"Oh?" The anger on the faces of the two catchers was replaced by an ambiguous look. It turned out to be like this, thinking that this brother had been to Lan Guifang, and he also had a dewy relationship with a certain woman, and remembered her appearance, so he said this.

Even the few people who came in later also had the same idea, and someone said, "Xu is Lord Yang, you remember the wrong person's face." Or maybe they were frightened before they died, and their appearance changed......"

But Yang Zhen shook his head and denied this explanation. If it was an ordinary woman, he might not remember it too clearly, but the gentle woman he saw that day who was forced by An Jizong to almost fall into the water, Yang Zhen was sure that he would never mistake her appearance, no man would forget her appearance in a short time after seeing her. Although the dead women here are also extremely beautiful, there is still a big gap compared to her.

"You go and look around again to see if there's any missing dark room, maybe she's in it. If you can find a living outlet, this case will naturally be easy to solve. Yang Zhen said.

Although they were reluctant in their hearts, they didn't dare to stop the search of Jinyiwei, and even in their hearts, they had a little hope that they could really find a living mouth, after all, it would be much more beneficial for them to handle the case.

But the truth is not satisfactory, even if the brocade guards rummaged through the entire painting boat, they did not find a single secret room where people could hide, let alone find the living mouth.

This result made Yang Zhen's brows lock again: "What's going on?" Did she leave the ship long ago, or was she dead and thrown into the lake, or was she taken captive? "Thinking about the woman's disaster-level appearance, the third outcome seems to be very likely.

Immediately, Yang Zhen's mind came up with the resentful look he had when he returned An Jizong to Shen Zhuo that day. "Could it be ......" A bold and bizarre idea suddenly popped up from Yang Zhen's heart, although this idea was crazy and unfounded, but for them, it would be great if this idea came true.

Seeing Yang Zhen's solemn expression, but there was a strange light in his eyes, Chang Huai couldn't help but ask, "Lord Yang, do you have any other orders?" ”

"Oh, it looks like I can't find any more clues for the time being." Yang Zhen temporarily pressed the thoughts in his heart, and smiled at Chang Huai: "This case is related to the theft of the silver treasury, don't be careful, we Jinyiwei must investigate it with you, and please don't be surprised." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Although he was a little puzzled by Yang Zhen's previous words and deeds, Chang Huai still accepted this request. After all, the biggest case in Hangzhou is still the silver theft case, as long as Yang Zhen asks for it, even if he often refuses to catch his head, the prefect will still give this order, so why not do personal favors at this time.

When Yang Zhen reported Lan Guifang's murder to Tang Feng and them, the Jinyi guards also looked extremely shocked, but then Wei Changdong laughed: "In this way, the direction of our investigation is not wrong. ”

Although he said that, the clue was broken. I thought that I could find out the whereabouts or identities of the thieves who colluded with Lu Zhongming by interrogating the people on the boat. Now, it seems, this path is not going to work. Deng Ting sighed a little dejectedly.

"I can't say that, maybe things are turning a little bit around." Yang Zhen said, and told what he found on the boat: "I thought that the woman should be alive nine times out of ten." ”

"It's a little strange, since they killed a boat full of people, how could they leave such a living mouth?" Wei Changdong also said with some doubts: "Could it be that she is so beautiful that people can't do it?" If it were me, since it was related to such a big matter as the silver theft case, even the immortals would have killed it. ”

"If she were really alive, I thought there were two explanations." Tang Feng said: "First, as you said, she was taken captive, which is worth our fun; Second, she has close ties to the murderers and the silver thieves, and even their accomplices. ”

"How would a West Lake boat lady be an accomplice to such a thief? This is really hard for his subordinates to believe. Ma Feng and the others all looked disapproving.

At this time, Yang Zhen spoke again: "The latter is indeed unlikely, but it is not completely impossible. As for the former, what if the perpetrator was infatuated with her and never got her, until he killed someone and killed him? Will the man take the opportunity to take her captive? ”

"Huh? What do you mean by this? Tang Feng's eyelids jumped, as if he had thought of something.

Yang Zhen didn't answer this question immediately, but changed the topic and said, "We found out before that Lu Zhongming has been going to Lan Guifang since February, and it should be to contact those silver thieves. And during this time, there is another person who always goes to Lan Guifang, I don't know if you remember? ”

When he mentioned this, everyone immediately remembered the previous incident: "An Jizong! Hasn't this kid been pestering Lan Guifang all those days? ”

"Yes, it's An Jizong. He kept going there because he was obsessed with one of the boat ladies in Lan Guifang, which is one of our inferences. But what if the purpose of his visit to Lan Guifang didn't stop there? Yang Zhen said, sweeping his eyes to the crowd to see what they thought.

Everyone was silent for a while, and then you looked at me, and I looked at you, with inexplicable excitement in their eyes. Only Deng Ting was the most outspoken, and said Yang Zhen's unspoken meaning: "Do you mean, then An Jizong went to Lan Guifang or to meet Lu Zhongming?" ”

"Otherwise, I really can't explain why the two of them went to Lan Guifang at the same time." Yang Zhen said and glanced at Tang Feng again and continued: "Also, it's true that he is infatuated with that boat lady, otherwise there would not have been something that happened to us that day." This can also explain why everyone in Lan Guifang was killed today, why only the woman was missing. ”

Although this statement was more bizarre than Tang Feng's second view that the boat lady was also the murderer, everyone present accepted it a little, or was willing to believe that it was the truth. Maybe because of their hostile relationship with An Li, they would prefer to see such an ending?

It was Tang Feng, who also felt moved after facing Yang Zhen's bold and even somewhat crazy idea. But he still said cautiously: "But Na'an Jizong is the righteous son of the eunuch, so there is no reason to do such a thing at all." ”

"If it were just him, I don't believe he would have the ability and courage to do such a thing. But what if there is still an order behind this matter? Yang Zhen continued his crazy reasoning: "This silver vault theft case is too weird, I don't believe that there is only one traitor like Lu Zhongming." If An Li, the eunuch who has a high status in Hangzhou, had arranged it, maybe things would have been much easier. ”

"Again, why did he do that?" Tang Feng only grasped the motive. After all, the stakes are high, and he doesn't dare to be negligent.

I don't want Yang Zhen to shake his head irresponsibly: "I can't guess this, all this is just a little speculation of mine, and I really can't find any evidence." It is only because of the relationship between An Jizong, Lu Zhongming and Lan Kwai Fong that there is such an idea. ”

"Baihu, I think what Erlang said is not unreasonable. If that's the case, can we go to Eunuch An and check it out? Ma Feng was a little eager to try the authentic language.

Tang Feng glanced at the people under his command with the same expression, and said angrily: "I know what you think, if this is true, it is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us." But An Li's identity is there, if we can't find any evidence, our fate will be ugly. ”

Just as everyone was entangled at this time, the guard outside the door suddenly came to report, saying that Chang Huai, the head catcher of the prefect's yamen, had something to tell.

"Looks like they've found something again. Call them in. Yang Zhen commanded casually.

After Chang Huai entered the door, he was not polite, and told the new clues he had mastered: "According to what Lord Yang said on the boat, we specially found the pleasure seeker on the lake last night for interrogation, and we really found something. ”

"Oh, but what?" Yang Zhen asked with great interest.

"There was a pleasure seeker who had gone out of the cabin to vomit because he had drunk too much during the third watch, but he didn't want to let him see someone sneaking into another small boat not far away." Chang Huai said with some regret and said: "However, because it was dark and there was still some distance, he didn't see the appearance of those people clearly. I only saw that one of them was a thin boy in brocade clothes, who looked like he was either rich or noble......"

Yang Zhen and Tang Feng exchanged glances, and a person's name couldn't help but flash in their minds—An Jizong!
