In the Jinling Mansion, the atmosphere has been a little solemn since the first two days.

Qi Ping sat on the edge of the high desk, with stacks of scrolls piled up in front of him.

He also spread out one of them in front of him, and there was a wolf hair on the pen stand next to him, Qi Ping's brows furrowed tightly, and his eyes swept over the scroll over and over again.

Mr. Mei was dressed in green clothes, covered with a gray squirrel silk cloak, was holding tea, took a sip, and looked at Qi Ping again. "Don't you see what's going on?"

Qi Ping was so anxious that he almost vomited blood.

It's a pity, after so much research and so much interrogation, it still doesn't seem to have a clue now.

When it comes to case handling, Qi Ping has handled it well since his first year as an official. It's just that now this case can't be found out no matter how you check it, which is very strange.

The other party really seems to be just trying to kill the Li family and take a few people.

Although the officials were in a coma for two days, they also invited the Lin Yuan to come and see, and they all said that they had been given some medicine, which made it difficult for them to recover their strength.

In other words, they are not targeting the Jinling Mansion, nor are they targeting him, the Jinling County Guard.

But who is that for?

Qi Ping doesn't believe in that kind of whim-studded story, can do things so safely, and no one will find out afterwards, if you want to say that there is no conspiracy, it is impossible in Qi Ping's opinion.

What's more, Qi Ping also firmly believes in one point, that is, for people, there is always something good to do things.

Who would it be good to kill those subordinates of the Li family?

Qi Ping couldn't figure this out, so there has been no key breakthrough in the case so far.

Because he couldn't imagine who could be involved in this matter.

Mr. Mei's words made him more and more distressed, "This matter, no matter how you say it, it doesn't seem like a temporary idea. ”

Mr. Mei nodded, "Naturally, it won't be a temporary idea." Looking at their modus operandi, it's not once or twice. And the kung fu is good. ”

This is another point of Qi Ping's headache, people have worked hard, but they didn't leave any traces for them.

The scroll he was looking at now was a confession, but it was just that the officials took turns to tell the situation of that day. Don't say anything important, Qi Ping has watched it for so many days and checked it for so many days, but he still hasn't figured out how those officials were drugged.

In other words, people have made all the preparations.

Now Qi Ping's head is big, the Li family and James are still waiting in Jinling, the person is so unclear, he can't find the murderer, it's hard to say whether the two will directly blame him for this matter.

Thinking of this, Qi Ping couldn't help but touch the official hat on his head, and the smile on his face was full of bitterness. "Brother Mei is right. It's just that if I can't find out about this matter, I guess I'll have to take the blame. ”

This estimate is still reluctant, Qi Ping is sure in his heart, if this can't be found, the Li family will definitely remember this matter on their heads.

He has always adhered to the principle that no one should be offended, and even if the central government is declining now, the family of the fifth prince does not seem to be in good condition. But Qi Ping still didn't want to offend people.

You'll never know exactly when you're going to use someone else.

Qi Ping is such a sleek person, naturally he doesn't want to become a character who is hated.

So this headless case can be regarded as making him unable to eat or sleep these days.

My worried hair is almost gray, and there is still no progress in the case!

How can it not be annoying?

Looking at the way he scratched his head, Mr. Mei couldn't help it. "The cause of death is indeed the blood in the neck that was cut. I looked and everyone's wounds were almost the same size. The location is also the same. Look, it's cut with a dagger. ”

Mr. Mei can help Qi Ping, in fact, that's all there is.

To be honest, when he saw the corpse at that time, Mr. Mei himself was a little surprised.

The wounds of the corpses were all the same size, small and deep. It can be seen that this hands-on person must have done this on weekdays.

That's a practitioner.

Such a person escaped from prison in order to kill a few people?

It's really unpredictable.

Qi Ping smiled bitterly, "I thought that if I left Kyoto, I would not be calculated." Now, I think too little. ”

Mr. Mei was not polite at all, and nodded directly, "That's a good point." I told you that. The puff is not guilty of his crimes. The current way of the world will not let you go because you are hiding. ”

These words caused both of them to fall silent.

"Are you saying this to me, but aren't you saying it to yourself?" Qi Ping smiled and shook his head, "It's just that we're all old." I don't know how long it will last. ”

"I won't go before the emperor." Mr. Mei took a sip of tea, and there was a hint of amusement in his words.

Qi Ping was so frightened that he almost jumped up from his chair, looked left and right, and confirmed that there were only two people in the room, he and Mr. Mei, and the door was closed, which seemed to be relieved, "You can say this, but don't bother me!" ”

Mr. Mei himself doesn't do anything in the government, but Qi Ping still has to eat this bowl of rice!

Looking at the way this man blew his beard and stared, Mr. Mei suddenly laughed.

Qi Ping felt a sense of annoyance in his heart again, but there was no other way but to look at the scroll in his hand here in a daze.

Mr. Mei laughed enough, and began to get down to business, "This kind of behavior probably won't be a person in officialdom." ”

Qi Ping also collected his thoughts and began to discuss seriously, "Not a person in the officialdom? Could it be a family? Or the royal family? ”

There are many royal relatives living in this Jinling City.

If you want to talk about it, isn't the county lord of Hui'an the kind of person who is the royal prince?

Qi Ping thought of this, and his head began to hurt again. "It's not going to be the county lord......"

Mr. Mei stared at him, "What do you think?" ”

Maybe Mr. Mei's eyes were too mocking, Qi Ping was deflated all of a sudden, and he shook his shoulder, "I don't think it's possible." ”

Not to mention that the county lord of Hui'an will not do anything to these people, let's just say that she has been busy with the birthday banquet of Jing'an Hou in the past few days, and people don't have the time to do it.

What's more, the person disappeared before and after the lord of Hui'an County left the mansion.

Calculating the time, even if Hui'an County mainly gives people to do things, it is not possible to do it in such a short time.

This really can't be done by the lord of Hui'an.

Mr. Mei looked at Qi Ping's unpredictable look, and finally sighed, "You, you still think too much." If I come to see it, I will feel that this is the hands and feet of people in the rivers and lakes. ”
