However, fortunately, although she was pitting people, she was not unprepared, she accepted it with Zhen Shi's foresight, and ended the topic with the rhetoric she gave: "It's just that after our Dali Temple checked in every way, we found that there was no such person at all, so the man wearing the hat should be the rhetoric made up by the murderer." ”

Female official Xue had a little more smile on her "decent" face, and she said: "What Lord Zhen said is that Dali Temple's handling of cases has always been reassuring, but in the end, it is my Xue family's disciple, and Zhixian also hopes to give Xue Huai an explanation as soon as possible." ”

"It's nature." Zhen Shiyuan smiled and said a few more polite words to Female Officer Xue, and then hurriedly made an excuse to leave, and when he walked to Huangcheng Avenue, he couldn't help but glance back.

Lady Xue's whereabouts are the direction of the imperial study, which is not surprising, as a former female official, it is normal to go to His Majesty's imperial study, but he doesn't know why, he has a hunch that this time Lady Xue is going to "complain" to His Majesty, of course, it can't be said that the complaint can be said, at most it can be regarded as a "return" to His Majesty.

What kind of medicine is sold in this girl's gourd? Zhen Shiyuan scolded in his heart and went out of the palace, knowing that this girl didn't have a word of truth in her mouth, what was a fly vinegar and didn't let Zhang Xie get close to Lady Xue, it was a lie, this was obviously too bad, and Zhang Xie was not allowed to make a move, so he asked this Shangfeng to come forward and take the pot.

Which yamen in this capital has had such arrogant subordinates? Zhen Shiyuan let out a cold snort in his heart: If this girl doesn't give an understanding today, he has to make her look good.

When I returned to Dali Temple, the girl was sitting under the porch basking in the sun, and the flower cat that he raised on weekdays was "meowing" around her feet.

I don't know what kind of weird physique this girl has, cats and dogs, as well as the horse called Chongfeng in Pingzhuang, are very good with her.

The girl squinted, leaned her head on the pillar and yawned lazily, half-asleep and comfortable.

Zhen Shiyuan walked over, coughed, and said, "Life is quite comfortable!" ”

The girl who was leaning on the pillar and pretending to sleep opened her eyes, straightened up and called "Adult", and then naturally asked him, "My lord, how is it?" What was Lady Xue's reaction? ”

He hadn't asked yet, but she was too embarrassed to ask first? Zhen Shiyuan snorted coldly, and said with a straight face: "She reacted a lot, and her face changed. ”

Qiao Ran let out an "oh", and then asked Zhen Shiyuan: "What about after that?" What did she say? ”

At this time, the flower cat also cated the cat's body, jumped into her arms, and jumped into her arms. Qiao Ran helped it smooth its fur, and the flower cat "meowed" looked very comfortable.

Zhen Shiyuan glanced at the flower cat who was comfortable and didn't pay attention to him at all, and said, "I didn't say anything, it's all official words." ”

The girl pursed her lips and looked at him.

Seeing this, Zhen Shiyuan was silent, and said: "That is to say, my Dali Temple is reassuring, and she also hopes to give Xue Huai an explanation as soon as possible." ”

The girl who was helping the flower cat smooth the hair changed her face slightly at this time, and then stood up suddenly, and the flower cat who was enjoying her rare "smooth hair" service was accidentally shaken to the ground by her.

Of course, the height of the point will not be painful, but he was suddenly "invited" out of her arms, and the flower cat "meowed" twice, Zhen Shiyuan, who listened to the "meow" sound, was both angry and sad, God knows, he actually heard a little grievance and reluctance from this "meow".

How so? This little flower cat is too eccentric!

"Thank you, sir." The girl said and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Zhen Shiyuan hurriedly stopped her and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

The girl said: "Big prison, prepare to close the case!" ”

So fast! Zhen Shiyuan was startled, and he didn't care about comforting the flower cat that called "meow", so he hurriedly raised his heels and said, "Have you found evidence?" ”

Qiao Ran said: "I found it early." ”

Zhen Shiyuan sighed, and before he could speak, the girl spoke up again: "If I guessed correctly, this matter should have reached Your Majesty's ears, and Your Majesty will soon order the Criminal Department to prepare to take over this case, and we don't have much time to keep people." ”

Zhen Shiyuan couldn't help but stare at her when he heard this: "You...... What the hell are you doing? ”

"I don't really know what's involved." The girl shook her head, confessing to him that she only knew a little about it, and it was all speculation, "However, I know that this matter has something to do with the copper plate." ”

That copper plate! Zhen Shiyuan's face suddenly turned pale, his lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, only urged her angrily: "Then why don't you close the case quickly?" ”

This case is really a hot potato! It's not taking it now, and it's not going to be if you don't take it. Zhen Shiyuan muttered twice, but still followed: The matter has come to this, and the takeover has already been taken over, can you still pick it out?

In the prison of Dali Temple, the owner of the bookstore, who was in a daze with his hanging arm, was startled by the sudden intruder.

It is not surprising that others are in Dali Temple, and they will meet the officials of Dali Temple and even Dali Temple, after all, he is an important "suspect" at this moment, not to mention the female official surnamed Qiao I saw before, let's just say that Dali Temple, a three-grade member who can go to the court, broke in in a hurry without even bringing an official errand, isn't this a bit weird?

He was surprised to see that there was no meaning of "self-asserting identity", regardless of the two Dali Temple officials who broke in, for some reason, he always felt that these two people looked a little "tiger".

But despite this, he still stood up with his arms folded and called out "Sir".

"Okay, no more nonsense." The girl raised her hand to stop him, and blurted out unceremoniously, "Didn't you ask me for evidence earlier?" ”

The bookstore's owner's face changed suddenly when he heard this, but he still forced her to ask calmly: "Have you found evidence that I have murdered for money?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhen Shiyuan, who was standing behind Qiao Ran, subconsciously glanced at Qiao Ran: The evidence of murder for money, Pingzhuang is still looking for it. Previously, she speculated that Xue Huai had gone to a blacksmith shop before going to see Wang Linhan and the person in front of her, and there were three blacksmith shops on the way from Huaiguo Mansion to the old east gate, and Pingzhuang took people to set off early this morning, but they haven't come back yet, so they don't have evidence or anything at the moment!

The girl smiled, her eyes fell on the arm of the hammer hanging on his chest, and said, "I heard that the so-called martial arts master will tie sandbags to his legs when he practices martial arts, but I don't know what it's like to tie gold tools to his arms?" ”

What the? Zhen Shiyuan couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, and his gaze subconsciously shifted to the arm that this person was hanging, and then moved his gaze to his face.

I don't know if he was too shocked or if he was not good at lying, his pale face seemed to prove the answer without opening his mouth.

"I ...... No. I don't know how long it took, but he seemed to finally come to his senses, and blurted out the words of justification.

It was only after this weak defense that he shook his head helplessly after looking at the two Dali Temple officials in front of him, and then muttered: "You...... How do you know? ”

"You were so sure that I couldn't find any evidence, so I guessed that you must have hidden the looted gold in a place where no one can easily find it." Qiao Ran said, "In this case, the possibility of hiding in the bookstore no longer exists, which can be proved by the fact that Pingzhuang turned your bookstore upside down and couldn't find a single thing." ”

So Pingzhuang worked all afternoon to prove this guess! Zhen Shiyuan was silent, did not interrupt the girl's words, and continued to listen.

"The place where you hide must be a place that no one can imagine," the girl said Youyou, "Xue Huai likes to make money into the easiest gold to carry, so even if it is worth a lot, it will not be very big." I have to say that he is a person who is very good at hiding things, but unfortunately, I am not bad at finding things. ”

Good to find something...... Zhen Shiyuan's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, and when he thought of what Qiao Zhengyuan was involved in when they had just entered Chang'an City, he couldn't help but secretly say to himself: This is not only not bad, but it is also quite powerful.

"And Xue Huai on the day of the accident was a little different from usual," Qiao Ran said, raising his hand and said, "His hand is injured." ”

At the mention of this, Zhen Shiyuan suddenly looked at the hand of the bookstore owner hanging on his chest, squinted, and spoke: "Xue Huai's hand is dead, can this hand injury be contagious?" ”

Here's the problem! Once it is said, it feels a little interesting to think about this stubble. But before he said it, the owner of the bookstore was injured by a firecracker, which seems to be explainable.

The bookstore owner sat on the stone bed and smiled bitterly, I don't know if it was because he knew that it was useless to insist any longer, the truth had already been seen through, after the wry smile, the expression on his face turned relieved, and he even had the heart to ask Qiao Ran: "How did you think of it." ”

"You need to take into account all aspects of concealment, you are not one of the masters, and it is normal to be full of loopholes." The girl looked at him and asked him calmly, "Your hand is injured, have you ever asked the doctor to see the injury?" ”

The owner of the bookstore was stunned: "Just because of this? ”

"More than that." The girl shook her head and said, "Of course, it is common for some people to have strange temperaments, or skin injuries or other things without going to the doctor, but you are so serious that you hang your arms, even if you don't see the doctor, you have to take medicine!" ”

There was no medicine for external injuries in the Sande Bookstore.

"I have a good nose," said the girl, rubbing her nose, "and when I entered the Sande Bookstore that day, you hung your arms, and you were close to you, but you didn't smell a little medicine. ”

That's the biggest flaw.

"So Lord Qiao already suspected me as soon as I entered the door that day?" After the bookstore owner was surprised, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then untied the gauze hanging around his neck and began to untie the gauze wrapped around his arm, "I thought I was covering up seamlessly, but I didn't expect that the flaws had already been revealed." ”

"Not really." Seeing that the owner of the bookstore began to untie the gauze wrapped around her arm, Qiao Ran didn't look away anymore, she said, "I doubt you, but at that time I only suspected that you did what Wang Linhan did." ”

What did Wang Linhan do...... The owner of the bookstore was stunned for a moment: suspected that he killed Xue Huai, and the injury on Xue Huai's forehead was caused by him?

"But later, after Wang Linhan took the initiative to confess, I knew that Xue Huai's death had nothing to do with you, so the death of the coachman and the little maid became suspicious. I was the one who started to doubt you at that time. ”

Originally...... So.

The last layer of gauze was unraveled, and two thick pieces of gold fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Zhen Shiyuan squatted down and picked up the two thick gold sheets, and after examining them carefully for a while, he said, "This is a broken arm and a splint that fixes the bones?" ”

Qiao Ran nodded and said, "Yes, so, the severed hand or something should have been planned by Xue Huai from the beginning, that is, if Lady Xue didn't come to pick him up that day, he would leave himself." ”

Zhen Shiyuan rolled his eyelids: It's really right under his nose, and he doesn't know that so many people have secretly tricked him. This Dali Temple is really not easy to do.

"It's still quite heavy after a few days." The owner of the bookstore sighed at the gold piece that Zhen Shiyuan was carrying in his hand, and suddenly smiled to himself, "Somehow, when I threw out this gold piece, I always felt like I was relieved in my heart." ”

"It's not a piece of gold that weighs on your heart, it's two lives." Qiao Ran doesn't like preaching, but sometimes she can't help but say a few words. The man in front of him was weak, and there was no anger in his eyes, so he could see that he was not a wicked person, but sometimes people could never turn back after a thought.

"Yes! I'll regret killing someone. The owner of the bookstore smiled bitterly twice, and suddenly said, "My real name is Zhao Minsheng, and I was originally the name of Mercy for the common people, but I killed someone." ”

Qiao Ran said: "I don't have anything I want to ask you about the case, there is only one private matter I want to ask you for help." ”

"My lord's say," Zhao Minsheng said, "I'm like this, and it's a blessing to be able to help my lord." ”

Qiao Ran said: "Don't worry, don't be reluctant." ”

Hearing the words "don't be reluctant", Zhen Shiyuan glanced at her: she also said the same thing when she asked him to set up Xue Nuguan's words before.

Qiao Ran said: "The man with the hat ......"

Before he opened his mouth, Zhen Shiyuan couldn't help but turn his head: he knew that it would not be a good thing not to be reluctant.

Zhao Minsheng naturally knew what she was going to ask, and before he could finish listening to her, he shook his head again and again: "It was a big snow that day, and I was far away, so I didn't see his face at all." ”

"I know you didn't see his face," Qiao Ran said, "I want to ask you to think about something else, such as him standing beside Xue Huai with such a murderous aura that people dare not approach, what kind of weapon he has in his hand, whether he is standing straight, whether he is taller or shorter than Xue Huai......"

Such a detailed question made Zhao Minsheng begin to recall the situation little by little: "I didn't see him with a weapon in his hand, but when he stood on Xue Huai's side, he put his hand on Xue Huai's shoulder, Xue Huai looked scared at the time, the person was shaking all the time, and the standing posture was not very clear, but it looked like Xue Huai was a head taller, and the person was very tall." ”

Qiao Ran snorted and didn't ask again.

Xue Huai is a typical weak scholar, although he is thin and weak, he is not short in height. A head taller than him, Qiao Ran glanced at Zhen Shiyuan beside him: That is a head and a half taller than Zhen Shiyuan, if this person didn't go out on a snowy day that couldn't distinguish people, standing in the crowd should be regarded as standing out!
