Chapter 0371 [Naked Death on the Street]
Duan Fei came out of the thoughtless laboratory, and took a good look at Li Marseille's laboratory, the three French people locked themselves in a dark room, not knowing what they were doing, and even Duan Fei had to knock on the door for a long time before he wanted to enter, and the secrecy work was quite steady.
However, Duan Fei knew their progress well, and even had a considerable understanding of the craftsmanship they used, because Li Masai knew everything about the tools and materials they bought, and as a person from the twenty-first century, Duan Fei could see a lot of things from these purchase orders.
It was impossible for Duan Fei to personally go to the street to investigate and secretly visit, and in the absence of new information, he had to stay in Jinyiwei and wait, and it didn't take long for the latest news to come from the Ten Princes' Mansion.
Jinyi Wei who came to report said: "My lord, we were ordered to investigate the news of the people in white along Shiwangfu Street, and five people have said that they had seen people in white robes walk by in the early morning before yesterday, because the environment of Shiwangfu Street is relatively special, and all the people who come and go except for the servants are all riding horses and riding sedan chairs, and the person in the white robe in the early morning before yesterday is not a servant, and he hurriedly walked by with a package on his back early in the morning, so it has attracted a lot of attention, and everyone suspects that it is a thief, who stole something from someone's house, However, because it was not the theft of their own home, so everyone ignored it, we carefully interrogated those people, their words should be credible, that morning there was indeed a man in white from the Xingwang Courtyard, to the south, to Chang'an Street did not know where to go. ”
"Could it be that King Xing really left on his own?" Duan Fei frowned and paced two steps, and said to the man: "You guys are doing a good job, you go and pass on my order, turn the direction of the investigation to the south of Chang'an Avenue and the surrounding area of Shushifang, focus on investigating hotels, horse shops, and car dealers, and see if there are anyone who is similar to King Xing's age to buy horses and rent cars to go out of the city." ”
The brocade guard took the order and left, Duan Fei stomped a few more steps, and thought, "Am I really wrong?" The young King Xing actually saw through the world, abandoned wealth, fame and fortune, and became a monk? Or is it afraid of disaster from the sky and hiding alone? ”
Duan Fei pondered, "Did this kid suffer any blows?" Why did you suddenly do such a crazy thing? On that day, the Queen Mother had a big birthday, and he came to me with great interest to ask me if I was quite smart when I really had magical powers......"
He was thinking about whether there was any missing clues, Wang Ping came to the door, probed his head and hesitated, Duan Fei saw his figure, and shouted, "Who is hanging outside?" Let me in! ”
Wang Ping replied: "My lord, it is my humble duty. ”
Wang Ping walked in and said to Duan Feiyu: "My lord, I was ordered to interrogate those two demon girls, don't look at their delicate appearance, the bones are really hard enough, the lowly has changed several torture instruments, they fainted a few times, but they refused to confess, if they want to use a heavier punishment, they are afraid that they will not be able to bear it, so they have come to report to the adults." ”
"Can't afford it? How can you not afford the law? Duan Fei asked casually.
Wang Ping replied: "If you can't bear it, it means either death or cripplement, the two of them are charming to the bone, and the other is delicate and lovely, if they are crippled...... I can't bear to do it. ”
Duan Fei snorted and said, "They are the core disciples of the Demon Sect, and they should be executed according to the law, what is there to pity?" You really can't bear to do it? ”
Duan Fei stared at Wang Ping for a few seconds, and said, "I understand, you want to test the official, see if the official wants to enjoy them first, right?" This official doesn't have this kind of hobby, and I don't want you to do anything to insult female criminals, I hope you don't inherit these bad habits in the old edicts, these people in the Demon Sect must have received special training, and the general punishment is only afraid that it will have no effect on them, so this official will go and see it with you. ”
Wang Ping was submissive, and a trace of disappointment couldn't help flashing in his eyes, Duan Fei walked past him and said indifferently: "I'm for your good, you'd better keep my words in mind, so as not to regret it in the future." ”
Wang Ping replied awe-inspiringly: "Yes, the teachings of the adults dare not be forgotten for a while!" ”
Duan Fei walked forward and said, "What is the most important thing in this world?" It should be a promotion and a fortune for you, right? With power and money, what kind of woman can't get it? Why bother with those two girls who are not in the climate? ”
Wang Ping said with a smile: "What the adults said is that most of the women of the Demon Sect are good at bewitching men, and they are not strong in their humble duties, so they must be following their way." ”
Duan Fei Huo Ran looked back and said, "Do you really think so?" If you don't have distractions in your mind, how can they affect you, no matter how strong their charm is? Wang Ping, the official saw that your ability to adapt to the situation was good before he was specially promoted, don't you live up to the expectations of the official, is it suddenly promoted and trusted by the official so that you get a little forgetful? Then I'll give you a sober up, Jinyiwei will have a big competition at the end of every year, comparing strength, ability, and work performance of the previous year, if you are compared by others, this official will unceremoniously remove you! ”
Wang Ping replied in a trembling voice with sweat in his heart: "The lesson of the adults is that they know that they are wrong, and they will abide by the teachings of the adults in the future, and they will never dare to forget." ”
Duan Fei said: "If you know your mistakes, you can improve it, come with me to the Imperial Prison to have a look." ”
Duan Fei only took two steps, and a brocade-clothed guard came running over and said to Duan Fei: "My lord, Si Gongcheng, the prefect of Shuntian Mansion, posted a post to ask to see my lord, I don't know if my lord will see it?" ”
The prefect of Shuntian is a member of the three grades of the dynasty, Duan Fei was not willing to slack off, stopped and said to the hundred households: "Please wait for the prefect, the official will be there in a while." ”
Duan Fei turned back to Wang Ping and said, "You can let those two demon sect demon girls go for the time being, and then go to the edict after the official has seen the prefect." ”
Si Gongcheng, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, was about fifty years old, and when he saw everyone with a smile in his eyes, he looked shrewd and awake, and when he saw Duan Fei, he stepped forward and saluted: "This official has taken the liberty to visit, and I also ask Lord Duan for forgiveness." ”
Duan Fei said with a smile: "It's right for me to give a salute to the prefect, wouldn't Lord Si kill me like this?" Master Si came to Jinyiwei in his busy schedule, there must be something important to tell him, please speak up, Duan Fei listened. ”
Si Gongcheng said: "Lord Duan is polite, this official actually has something to ask for, Lord Duan, in the early morning of the day before yesterday, there was a murder case near an intersection near Chaotian Palace......"
Duan Fei interrupted Si Gongcheng's words and said, "I've heard of this case, a naked man was lying on the street late at night, and his face was burned to a mess, I don't know what this case has to do with me?" Did Master Si come to Jinyiwei in person for this case? ”
Si Gongcheng nodded and said, "Lord Duan, please listen to me, this case has been investigated by the official for three days and still has no clue, Lord Duan is famous, today I made a special trip to ask Lord Duan to help." ”
Duan Fei shook his head and said: "Master Si, this official has the intention to help, but he can't use it for two purposes, this official just received the emperor's order this morning, asking me to find out the whereabouts of His Royal Highness King Xing as soon as possible, this official has not made any progress so far, and I really can't be distracted to investigate other cases." ”
Si Gongcheng saw Duan Fei's hand touching the teacup, and hurriedly said: "Lord Duan, I only learned about the disappearance of King Xing when Lord Duan sent someone to Shuntian Mansion to inquire, I suddenly had an idea, so I personally rushed to Jinyiwei to ask to see my lord, now I ask Lord Duan to retreat, I can take out that idea and discuss it with Lord Duan, or Lord Duan will change his mind." ”
Duan Fei frowned and glanced at Si Gongcheng, seeing that he looked calm and introverted, he really couldn't see what the hell he was thinking, so he shouted left and right: "You all go out, this official has important matters to discuss with Master Si, and no one is allowed to approach." ”
When Duan Fei and Si Gongcheng were left, Si Gongcheng said in a low voice: "Lord Duan, I only knew that King Xing was missing when Jinyi Wei came earlier today, remembering King Xing's voice and appearance, I suddenly had an ominous feeling, in the case near Chaotian Palace, the deceased's figure and age are very similar to King Xing, and the time is about the same, will it be ......?"
Duan Fei sneered: "Master Si is confused, right? Your case happened the night before yesterday, and King Xing may have just returned to Xingwang's courtyard from Taibai Mansion at that time, how could it be involved? ”
Si Gongcheng said: "What Lord Duan said is, but the more I think about it, the more uneasy I become, I have only met King Xing twice, and I am not familiar with His Royal Highness King Xing, but the deceased's skin is fair and tender, his fingers are clean and slender, and at a glance he knows that he is a master who has never suffered much, and there is a red mark on the little finger of his left hand, which seems to have been wearing a ring, which was left when it was taken away, I remember that His Royal Highness King Xing seems to be wearing a pigeon's blood gemstone ring on his left hand......"
Duan Fei was still unmoved, and said: "There are many children of rich families in the capital, why don't Master Si investigate who is missing in the family first?" You might even find out. ”
Si Gongcheng said solemnly: "Shuntian Mansion has already visited everywhere, and posted a notice to reward and recognize people, but unfortunately there has been no qualification, until Lord Duan sent someone to Shuntian Mansion, I didn't know that King Xing was missing, Lord Duan, I have solved a lot more cases since Lord Duan became an official, and I will not run to provoke adults to laugh at me without a purpose, but if Lord Duan still doesn't believe me, I have to go back and bury the body as an unclaimed beggar." ”
"Master Si, don't worry, let me think about it......" Duan Fei took a sip of tea, frowned and thought about it, the two cases have nothing to do with each other in terms of time, Si Gongcheng would not be stupid enough to make such a joke, if he was not really sure, he would never rashly come to him to talk to him secretly, King Xing is not an ordinary person, who dares to talk nonsense that he is dead, and he died so miserably? If you don't do it, it's the crime of bullying the king, and you want to kill your head.
What Si Gongcheng said that shocked Duan Fei the most was that there was no longer another missing person in the capital who matched the age and identity of the deceased, could it be that the deceased was really His Royal Highness King Xing? If the deceased is really His Royal Highness King Xing, then how to explain this strange disappearance? Could it be that the one who returned to King Xing's courtyard that night drunk was not the real King Xingwang? Even Princess Yongfu, Wang Zuo, and Chunxi can't see so many people? Impossible, that deceased person must not be His Royal Highness King Xing!
PS: I'm back, but unfortunately I have to celebrate the holiday the day after tomorrow, and I have to accompany my wife again...... Then it's the National Day, I have to be busy setting up the wine, the National Day is over and there is no rest, because the Double Ten Festival has to be put again in Guilin, my God, since I went back to Kunming in August, I have been non-stop, the rest time is more tiring than the work, and I have to stay up until when can I really take a break......
P.S.: I don't even know what a double |ten|section is, and I thought it was a word made up by myself, this forbidden word blocking function is really educational!
