May 16, the end of the day.

The city of Beijing is still asleep, all the sounds are silent and quiet, and the sound of galloping horses' hooves is particularly crisp. Outside the city gate of Beijing, a horse galloped in. Therefore, before the time came to open the gates, the men who were on the horse had to take the reins and wait outside the gates.

As soon as the hour came, in the sound of the door opening with a "squeak", this man jumped on his horse, and he couldn't wait for a moment and rushed to the city.

Xiong Tianlei couldn't fall asleep at night, and he didn't fall asleep slowly until he was a child, but as soon as he dreamed, he dreamed that his mother was covered with blood and couldn't help waking up in a dream, and so on and so forth, and when he woke up in the morning, he felt extremely tired and dizzy. When he was beating his spirits, he suddenly heard an exclamation from outside the door, and casually heard his father's familiar voice, and involuntarily lifted his spirits and went straight to the house.

As soon as I got out of the house, I saw a big man outside the door, majestic, Xiong Tianlei didn't shout "Dad", and tears had already flowed.

Xiong Pingshun hugged his son, obviously feeling uncomfortable and sad.

Xiong Tianlei saw his father, and while crying, he told his mother about his mother's disappearance again.

Xiong Pingshun was worried for a long time, but he comforted his son: "Tianlei, don't worry, your mother will be safe, I'll find someone to deal with it later, and urge the government to find it." I also have a few friends in **, I have made people let out, if anyone tells you the news of your mother, set a reward of a thousand taels of silver. If someone is confused for a while and does something impulsive, as long as you send your mother back, the Xiong family will not be to blame. Otherwise, I will swear to the death with him. ”

Xiong Tianlei saw that his father's eyes were bloodshot and covered with wind and frost, and he knew that his father had been working hard in the starry night in the past few days, so he was busy stopping his tears and accompanying his father to wash.

While they were busy, they suddenly heard a noise outside the door, and Xiong's father and son hurriedly walked out, only to see Ding Si and another errand officer walking in quickly. Ding Si was a little surprised and a little happy when he saw Xiong Pingshun, and bowed his hand, but his words were slurred, and it seemed that it was difficult to speak.

Seeing that Ding Si was difficult to exit, he arched his hand and said to Xiong Pingshun: "Xiong is in charge, I will be ordered by Shun Tianfu Mansion Yin to come to deliver the message, someone found a female corpse in the broken pool this morning, and asked Xiong Dangjia to go with us to identify it to see if it is Mrs. Zun." ”

After Xiong Tianlei listened to the words of the messenger, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, his eyes were black, and his body was weak. Ding Si was quick to help Xiong Tianlei beside him, and whispered in Xiong Tianlei's ear: "Tianlei, it's just that this is the case, and it is also routine for us to come to pass the word, I don't know the matter, don't be too sad." ”

Xiong Pingshun's eyes were also a daze, and after thinking for a while, he thanked the officer, he didn't want Xiong Tianlei to go with him, but Xiong Tianlei insisted on going, so Xiong Pingshun had to take his son and go with the officer.

The broken water pool is in the southeast of the capital, the location is remote, the pool is deep, few people go, Xiong Pingshun and the four people rushed to the place, and it took two hours. When I arrived, there were a few people busy. The person at the head is about forty years old, with a shrewd and capable appearance, thick black eyebrows, and bright eyes.

Xiong Pingshun and Ding Qianzhong hurriedly greeted each other, and they knew each other and didn't talk much, so they went to identify the corpse.

Because of soaking in the water for many days, the female corpse was already swollen and unrecognizable, Xiong Pingshun saw the clothes he was wearing, he couldn't help but scream, held a tree trunk next to him with his hand, shook a few times, and almost fell to the ground.

Xiong Tianlei shouted: "This is not my mother's ......." Before he finished speaking, he bent down and couldn't stop vomiting, but he couldn't vomit anything.

Ding Qianzhong bowed slightly to Ding Si, and Ding Si hurriedly went up to help Xiong Tianlei and pulled him aside. Xiong Tianlei was just stunned, his eyes were red, and it took a long time for him to cry out.

After a long time, Ding Qianzhong accompanied Xiong Pingshun over. Xiong Pingshun was sad and angry, trembling all over, and said to Ding Quanzhong: "Brother Ding, Humble Jing has always been charitable and kind, but I don't know where to cause this catastrophe. Ding Zhutou must solve this case quickly, so that the murderer will be in charge of the case, and the clumsy will be blinded. ”

Ding Duzhong retreated left and right, and Zhengse said to Xiong Pingshun: "Brother Xian, by the way, please also ask Brother Xian to think carefully, to see what enemies there are in recent years, if there are clues, just come one by one." ”

Xiong Pingshun was already in a state of confusion at this time, and after thinking for a long time, he shook his head and said: "In the past two years, the reputation of the dart game has been greatly enhanced, although I have walked the north and south of the river, but my friends on the road have also sold my face, and there is a group of brothers in the Juyi Dart Bureau, and the dart has been quite smooth in the past two years." ”

Xiong Pingshun thought for a while, and then said: "Three years ago, I had a dart to escort the treasure 'Butterfly Jade Spring Cup' to Hangzhou, when the thieves of the rivers and lakes 'Wonderful Hand' coveted this thing. Could it be that Miaoshou was released after completing his sentence, and he vented his hatred on Humble Jing. As soon as the words came out, I couldn't help but grit my teeth, as if the magic hand was the real murderer.

Ding Qianzhong did not answer, and waited for Xiong Pingshun to continue.

Sure enough, after a while, Xiong Pingshun hesitated and said, "There are two other people, who are also quite suspicious." In the past two years, the Juyi Dart Bureau has been quite famous, and the family is big, and it is inevitable that there will be jealousy among peers. The Beijing Weiwu Dart Bureau was originally a time-honored brand in Beijing, but the two years gradually declined, once the firm Wang Pinggui originally entrusted the dart to the Weiwu Dart Bureau, but then he could not rest assured, the dart was returned, and the dart Juyi Dart Bureau, the Luo brothers, the head of the Weiwu Dart Bureau, suspected that I was secretly doing tricks, and had led people to the Juyi Dart Bureau to smash the field, and was beaten by my men, and fled in embarrassment. Could it be that the Luo brothers have always held a grudge and took advantage of me to go out and cause harm to me. ”

After thinking for a while, Xiong Pingshun's face was full of sadness: "Brother Ding, I am really in turmoil, and I really don't have a clue." ”

Ding Qianzhong patted Xiong Pingshun on the shoulder with his hand: "Virtuous brother mourns, although the lady has gone to the immortal, the sky is still young, and he still needs someone to take care of him, you must take care of it." In addition, today's matter, I hope that the virtuous brother will not go out quietly, so as not to startle the snake. ”

At the end, he explained: "If you think of something important, please let me know as soon as possible, don't delay." ”

Xiong Pingshun took Xiong Tianlei away and went home to prepare for Feng Yue'e's funeral.

Ma Feng came over and told Ding Qianzhong: "The female corpse has a pinch mark on her neck, which is obviously taken advantage of by someone to take advantage of her unpreparedness and choke her neck, and the murderer has great strength, and he was hit with one blow, and then sank into the pool. According to the following examination, the female corpse has been dead for about seven days. ”

Ding Qianzhong muttered: "When Feng Yue'e disappeared, there was nothing abnormal in the family, if the enemy retaliated, why bother to transport the body out; If it is said that people are abducted and discharged from the hospital, how can it be silent. It's a strange thing. ”

After thinking about it, he said: "Today, I will ask Fu Yin to write a letter and send it to Zhejiang to see if Miaoshou is released." ”

At the end, he ordered: "Li Cheng, take Ding Si to the Juyi Dart Bureau tomorrow to see if there is any abnormality in the Juyi Dart Bureau seven days ago." ”

Next to him, Li Cheng immediately agreed.
