In the small courtyard where Liu Liangfu, the master of food and salary, lived, the flames rose into the air, the fire demon's sadism with his teeth and claws, and the whistling wind mixed with the crackling sound of burning wood clearly entered Qin Lin's ears.

Now it is the first month of the year, Miyun is still cold and biting in the border area north of the Beijing Division, but standing several feet away from the fire, the heat emitted by the flames is scorching people's faces red, and the black smoke that is swept out by the wind from time to time is even more smoked The eyes of the soldiers who poured water to fight the fire turned red, and they kept retreating.

"Yang Zhao is very old and spicy" Xu Wenchang stroked his gray beard and was slightly moved, and muttered: "Liu Liangfu has his own way to die, and he is not because of the old man's discord, it can be said that I don't kill Beren, and Beren dies because of me." ”

Qin Lin laughed dryly: "Good death!" Didn't we give him a chance, wouldn't it be okay to hand over the bottom account at that time? Liu Liangfu wants to go all the way to the dark, hum, he brought about his own destruction, what does it have to do with Mr. Xu? ”

Our Chief Qin is also ruthless!

Yang Zhao and his gang were internally ironclad, Qin Lin had nothing to do, and the reason why he set up a plan to sow discord was to let Yang Zhao, Zhao Shichen and Liu Liangfu bite each other, so that he could get into trouble.

If there is anything unexpected, it is that Yang Zhao and Zhao Shichen are so fast and spicy, but as soon as Xu Wenchang went to sow discord, the small courtyard where Liu Liangfu lived burst into flames.

However, for Qin Lin, criminal investigation is originally a strong point, Yang Zhao does not kill people, once the dog jumps over the wall and uses the trick of killing people and destroying his mouth, it is exactly in Qin Lin's arms!

Any attempt to cover up the crime will provide more clues to the detection!

Qin Lin looked at the fire with confidence, the flames reflected in the pupils shone brightly, and his sharp gaze seemed to have penetrated the flames and smoke, probing the truth of the case.

Xu Wenchang is not a good man and a woman, but he always has a three-point relationship for being a person, thinking that Liu Liangfu was still pushing the cup and changing lamps with himself just now, and now most of them have been buried in the fire cave, so he is a little embarrassed.

When he returned to the case itself, he immediately cheered up and secretly observed Yang Zhao, the governor of Jiliao, and the chief copywriter who were standing on the other side.

Zeng Shengwu and Zhang Xiaoyang learned of the fire in the Governor's Mansion, and immediately rushed over from Qinchaxingyuan, Yang Zhaozheng accompanied them to talk, pretending to have a distressed expression:

"Zeng Shilang, Father-in-law Zhang, this is really a flying disaster! The old man was responsible for border defense, and he was worried all night in Miyun, and he didn't dare to slack off, but he didn't know why he was convicted of the sky and suffered from this fire. ”

Zeng Xingwu and Zhang Xiaoyang didn't know what was going on, and they didn't know if there was anyone in the fire, so they comforted him with some good words.

Qi Jiguang also rushed from the post house and commanded Qi Jin and several personal soldiers to help put out the fire. Zhao Shichen was in a very good mood, gritting his teeth and looking at the raging fire, his heart was already happy, and when he heard Yang Zhao say this, he flattered: "Dong Weng, from the student's point of view, although this fire is big, it only burned two or three houses adjacent to Mr. Liu's residence and the Governor's Palace, and there is no big loss. And the flame on the top is blazing, the bottom is the earth, from the hexagram is the elephant of the stove that is off the lower kun, the hexagram is bright and upright, the same kind of extension is promoted, thick Qi Kuang thinks, the Ming is connected, since the swamp Mingde expects that Dong Weng will not be promoted. Haha, Yang Zhao laughed dryly, and said deliberately: "Borrow Mr. Zhao's auspicious words." I don't know if Mr. Liu escaped, but the old man was still very uneasy. ”

"Neither nor not!" Xu Wenchang walked over with a smile, shook his head and sighed: "Although Mr. Zhao has read the Book of Changes, he has not studied it intensively. This courtyard burned with flames, and it was indeed a sign of leaving the fire, but under the fire was not dry land, but burned snow water...... "That's true, Zeng Xingwu and Zhang Xiaoyang raised their eyes to see that there was a lot of snow in the yard, which was turned into water when it was burned by the fire, and there were soldiers fighting the fire and splashing water, and the house above was burning violently, but the ground was a Ze country. Xu Wenchang deliberately paused, and then frowned and said: "So this is the image of the upper and lower hurdles" The water and fire are not helped, the hexagram is not helped, the hexagram is on the water, the two qi are dry, everything is unfavorable, there are difficulties, Governor Yang and Mr. Zhao, the two of them still prepare in advance, be careful of the suffering of distress! At this time, everyone seemed to believe in the Yin and Yang of the Book of Changes, and after hearing Xu Wenchang's words, Yang Zhao's face suddenly became unsightly, and Zhao Shichen's mouth pouted twice, and he didn't find the words to refute Xu Wenchang after all. ,

Zeng Xingwu looked at the fire and thought thoughtfully.

With a bang, the roof was burned down, and the whole thing collapsed. Zeng Xingwu and Zhang Xiaoyang both hid their faces and took two steps back.

The smoke and dust flew in all directions, Qi Jiguang and Qi Jin were all over the place, and they called for their own soldiers to put out the fire, more active than the soldiers in the Governor's Palace, and the old battle robe worn by Qi Jiguang was burned by the flames, and there were several scorched black holes.

"Qi Shuai, don't waste your efforts" Qin Lin couldn't help but speak, and dragged Qi Jiguang back a few steps: "You are bothering to put out the fire here, maybe someone would like the fire to burn bigger!" ”

"Where, where, Lord Qincha said with a smile." Qi Jiguang hung his head low, no matter Yang Zhao, the governor of Jiliao, Zeng Xingwu, the squire of the military department, or Qin Lin, the head of the Jinyi Guard, he didn't want to offend any of them.

Poor and respectable Qi Dashuai!

Zhao Shichen heard the ridicule in Qin Lin's words, the hornet glanced at Xu Wenchang, and then at Qin Lin, hehe sneered: This fire burned Liu Liangfu and his house to ashes, even if there is any bottom account, there is no piece of paper, why do you say that Lao Tzu is in distress? Can you find evidence?

The small courtyard where Liu Liangfu lived was a wooden structure, and next to it was a warehouse for horses and forage in the Governor's Palace, and the fire burned for an hour before it was extinguished.

In other words, everything that can be burned is burned to the core, and the flame is extinguished by itself.

Not only did Liu Liangfu's small courtyard burn to the ground, but several houses adjacent to the Governor's Mansion were also damaged, but fortunately, the fire did not spread further in time. didn't know Liu Liangfu's whereabouts, everyone present cared if he was in the yard or not, so he raised his feet and walked inside. "Wait!" Qin Lin raised his hand and said undoubtedly: "Except for Zeng Shilang, Governor Yang, Gonggong Zhang, and the people of this official, the rest of the people are not allowed to enter, so as not to destroy the scene!" ”

Zhao Shichen was the first to jump up and object, and the jackal's voice was extremely ugly: "Why listen to you?" This is the governor of the Badon Ion! ”

Yang Zhao also wanted to help, but Zeng Xingwu pulled his face and said coldly: "Qin Cha handles the case, Mr. Zhao should not be arrogant." ”

Yang Zhao and Zhao Shichen's hearts were sudden, and they looked at Zeng Xingwu as if they were laughing, and quickly closed their mouths.

"General Qin, even if you let go of the case, this official believes in your ability to solve the case and set up the murderer." Zeng Xingwu arched his hand at Qin Lin, with a subtle smile on his face.

Oh also, the letter that Zhang Zixuan forged worked!

Zeng Xingwu is a hardcore figure of the Jiangling Party, and wherever Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the emperor, points out, Zeng Shilang will hit wherever he goes, and he is actually a forward general under the command of Xiang Ye.

Since Xiang Ye Jun said that he had already explained to Qin Lin, Zeng Shengwu, the positive Qin cha, automatically put the right position in his heart and cooperated with Qin Lin 100%.

What's more, Zeng Shilang has been in the officialdom for a long time, and he is recognized as a capable member of the government and the opposition, and the governor's mansion suddenly caught fire in handling the case, which itself also aroused his suspicion of Yang Zhao and Zhao Shichen.

Qin Lin knew the root cause, and he also bowed his hand to Zeng Xingwu, ignoring the heat of the fire, and walked in first.

Because Liu Liangfu likes to enjoy the snow scene, there is a lot of snow in the yard, plus the water splashed during the firefighting, the water on the ground is ankle deep, and there are a large number of unburned wood chips, debris and dust floating on the water surface, which is muddy.

There was still a scorching temperature in the air from when the fire was raging, his body was baked hot, the water on the ground soaked his shoes, and Qin Lin's feet were soaked in hot water.

Zhang Xiaoyang pinched his nose and stepped on the water quite reluctantly, but Zeng Shengwu lifted the hem of his official uniform and stepped into the water without hesitation.

The fire was raging here with thick smoke, leaving traces of flames passing through the walls of the small courtyard, and the scorched black tongue of fire swept by the wind was so open and dancing, like an abstract work of later generations, but the smell of burnt paste from the end of the nose constantly reminded Qin Lin that this was a crime scene.

Zeng Xingwu and Zhang Xiaoyang also smelled a strange smell, but they were not familiar with it after all, and this smell was even less obvious in the choking smoke and the smell of burning wood.

"W-What the does this smell like?" Zhang Xiaoyang frowned: "It seems that the pot of stewed meat is burned." ”

Qin Lin's nose twitched, he inhaled the air hard, distinguishing the familiar breath, he sighed: "When you smell this burnt smell, it's not that the pot is burned, it's ...... I guess a charred corpse will be found under the collapsed roof. ”

This is the peculiar smell of burnt proteins, to be precise, the smell of the human body being burned, Qin Lin is very familiar with this, he is almost 100% sure that there is such a charred corpse in the fire!

Zeng Xingwu's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and Zhang Xiaoyang simply turned pale: "My mother, is Master Liu really at the bottom?" It's so good, our family, our family...... Vomit! ”

Thinking that what he smelled just now was the stench of a charred corpse, Zhang Xiaoyang quickly escaped, spitting straightforwardly.

"Zeng Shilang?" Qin Lin looked at Zeng Xingwu.

"It's okay" Zeng Xingwu smiled and waved his hand: "When this official led the army into Duzhangman, he was also accustomed to seeing corpses in the mountains and seas of blood. ”

Qin Lin nodded, looked at the flooded ground, and beckoned to the lieutenants under his command, asking them to come in from behind the house and clear the rubble.

After about a stick of incense, the captains in brocade clothes shouted: "Sir, sure enough, there is a charred corpse underneath!" ”
