Whether there is progress in the case is not something that can be clearly explained in a few words, after greeting for a while, the girl went to the canteen, since Zhen Shiyuan moved Nanji Shop to the canteen, wouldn't it be a waste for her not to use it?

The officials and officials of Dali Temple all knew that the canteen had set up a small snack shop after the retired old imperial chef, and the already lively canteen was even more crowded and crowded.

Qiao Ran lined up, took a bowl of small wontons, walked to the corner and sat down, and ate slowly. The sound of talking, laughter, and the muttering of the bookkeeper made the canteen lively, like a restaurant with excellent business outside.

"The expenses of my Dali Temple far exceed that of the yamen next to me in terms of food, don't you want to be regarded as a rice bucket for everyone?" The whining of the little official was soon drowned out by laughter.

Qiao Ran smiled, in a good mood.

……

However, compared to her good mood and the festive excitement of Dali Temple, the prison of the Criminal Department is mixed with a gloomy atmosphere all year round.

Maybe not every day someone has to be punished, and the inside is also cleaned and cleaned, but I don't know if it's a psychological effect, every time I come in to deliver food, it always makes people feel as if they can smell blood.

Under the leadership of the jailers, several miscellaneous servants of the Yamen of the Criminal Department served meals for the prisoners in each large prison.

There are vegetables, soup and rice, and the food of the Yamen of the Criminal Department may not be as good as that of the Yamen of Dali Temple, which is famous for its food, but generally speaking, it will not deliberately treat the prisoners harshly, after all, if the prisoner who can't eat enough can not support the punishment and dies, then he will suffer.

The handyman carrying the food box hunched his body, did not look at the prisoners in the prison, and put the food one by one, and then the jailer checked the contents of the food, for fear that there were things that should not be mixed in it, and something happened to the prisoner.

He was about to leave after setting up a meal in front of a cell again and checking it, when he heard a woman's voice sound.

"I can't eat the food, take it! Can you divide a piece of meat in the soup? ”

The voice was extremely weak, and the handyman who was about to leave was stunned, turned to the jailer who was staring at the side, and saw that the jailer did not make a sound, so he scooped a spoonful of meat from the soup bucket and put it in.

Today's meal is rice with cabbage and bone broth.

took the rice for a piece of meat, and when he got up, the handyman who set the meal couldn't help but look at the prison.

On the side of the prison near the corridor, there was only a small square window in the door, through which the woman in the cell could be seen tied to a stake, with her hair hanging down and her face pale, and the woman looked thinner and thinner than the tall stake.

The woman, half-hidden in her messy hair, showed half of her side face.

is not a great beauty who captivates the country and the city, but she is also delicate and gentle, and she doesn't look like a big villain.

Of course, it would be nice if the wicked could see evil in their faces. The handyman didn't dare to look at it more, so he left after setting the meal. In the yamen of the criminal department, don't look at it too much, don't talk too much, this has long been a customary rule.

I didn't see a few big yamen, but I didn't even see a single onlooker in front of the yamen of the criminal department? You must know that the people of Chang'an City are notoriously bold, and even the people of Chang'an know that they can't watch the place, can they be a good place to get along with?

After the inspection, the jailer opened the cell door and brought the food inside.

When this prisoner was sent over, Dali Temple specially confessed that she might commit suicide, and after tying her hands and feet according to the custom, she also specially put anesthetics in her mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue and committing suicide.

After all, people were sent to the yamen of the criminal department, naturally to make her speak, so it is naturally not advisable to rudely gag her mouth and not let her bite her tongue like Dali Temple.

For this, the "genius" cool officials of the Yamen of the Criminal Department used anesthetics. Of course, the amount needs to be controlled to the point where you are unable to bite off your tongue and can barely speak, and those officials who study torture have their own measure in this regard.

At first, I was scared when I saw this kind of thing, but after seeing too much, I became numb.

"It's time to eat." The jailer walked in with a bowl of rice, and rudely poured the vegetables and soup into the woman's mouth, and the woman cooperated, although it was not so convenient to eat because of the use of anesthetic, but there was no trouble with the moth that "would rather die than eat".

If you don't eat, you still have to eat meat, and the jailer sneered: It's quite picky.

The meat in the bone broth was naturally more fleshy than the flesh, and she chewed it with the help of the jailer as she spit out the bones she had eaten, and when she had finished feeding, the two wooden bowls were set aside.

After all, after entering the criminal department, most of them can't endure the torture and want to die, so the bowl has long been replaced with a wooden bowl that cannot be broken.

As for the dishes and chopsticks being put aside, it was because he had symptoms of food poisoning in the prison of the Criminal Department earlier, and in order to prevent the lack of evidence after the accident, the rice bowl after the meal needed to be eaten once and then collected for the next meal.

It can be said that how to treat prisoners and how to handle the life and death of prisoners are all professional in the yamen of the criminal department.

The two jailers scanned the empty prison and locked the door when they found nothing unusual.

After "helping" all kinds of "inconvenient" prisoners in the prison to eat, the jailer went to the official waiting outside the prison to return to his life.

Zhou Liang, the official commander of the team, responded when he heard this, turned around and walked towards the house where the officials of the Criminal Department were working.

I don't know if it's because of the quiet nature or something else, in the yamen lobby of the Criminal Department at noon, the officials either bowed their heads to read the files or lay down on the case for a few mornings, and there was almost no sound.

Zhou Liang glanced at the officials who were quietly working in their respective seats, and walked towards the house where the Shangshu office of the Criminal Department was located.

knocked on the door, heard a shout "come in", Zhou Liang walked into the house and called "big brother".

"How many times have you said it, it's not as good as at home in the Yamen," Zhou Dong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who was sitting on a chair looking at something, raised his head slightly, glanced at him, and said, "There is nothing wrong with the prison!" ”

Zhou Liang shook his head and said, "No." "How can this be under such strict control?

"It's fine if you don't have it." Zhou Dong said and continued to look at the documents spread out on the table, and said, "Do you know the case of this woman sent by Dali Temple?" ”

Zhou Liang said: "I heard that it is the case of Que Lou, which has been solved." ”

"Yes, it's been solved," Zhou Dong said without raising his head, but asked him, "The one who solved the case was the girl surnamed Qiao, do you remember?" ”

"How could you not remember?" Zhou Liang couldn't help but let out a soft sigh when he heard this, "How long has it been since the matter between Jiao and Yuan, this girl is even better than we imagined." ”

"That's nature." When Zhou Dong heard this, he stopped what he was doing, raised his head, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "This is Da Chu, in front of the Son of Heaven today, the capable live in it, as long as she is more powerful and irreplaceable, the better she can live." ”

Zhou Liang let out an "oh" and asked Zhou Dong: "Big brother, no, adult, is this case difficult to investigate?" ”

Zhou Dong nodded and said, "It's difficult!" He patted the document sent by Dali Temple on the table, which recorded the investigation in detail, and there was no such fascinating words as the book deliberately rendered anything, it was such a big vernacular, but it also made him read it for a full morning.

"Do you know who the murderer in prison is?"

Zhou Liang thought for a while and said, "It looks like an ordinary woman." ”

"Yes, an ordinary woman who was abducted and placed next to Yu Shihuan as a servant, the key is that this ordinary woman is still a 'dead person' who has been dead for many years. On the face of it, she has nothing to do with the case. The more such a murderer who has nothing to do with the deceased, the more incredible it is that he can be found. ”

The documents he had seen had already submitted the results, but when he actually started to check, it was a blind eye, but it was so complicated that there were almost no details left, but she still let her check it clearly.

"Not only that, but I also found a murderer who pretended to be the kid from the Xie family." Zhou Liang said, I can't see any movement in the city in the past two days, "I can still be found alive, and the kid surnamed Xie has a big life." ”

"So, she will be so important in front of His Majesty." Zhou Dong said, "What kind of good kind are you Daojiao and the original two?" Now that he is so obedient, he doesn't dare to have a head-on conflict with her? ”

Zhou Liang laughed twice, not very interested in the affairs of the Jiao and Yuan families, but became more and more curious about the history of this case: "Big brother, no, my lord, can I take a look at the documents sent by Dali Temple?" ”

Zhou Dong picked up the paperwork on the table, handed it over, and said, "Be careful, don't tear it up." ”

Zhou Liang answered, took it, and when he buried his head in it, he exclaimed again and again while watching, and even couldn't help but sigh when he saw the highlights: "Yes, why didn't I think of it!" ”

"I actually deduced his preferences and relationship with the woman from Yu Shihuan's paintings before his death." He said.

"It is too easy for these literati and writers to pour their feelings into these things, and it is easy for them to leave a handle." Zhou Dong drank tea and judged it not salty, "It can be seen that being too affectionate is not a good thing." If it weren't for those paintings, the woman wouldn't have been found 'alive' so easily. ”

"Obviously, I went to Hanshan Temple to look for the merit book, but I actually found the replaced Xie family boy through the name of Xie Chengze." Zhou Liang said again.

"It's not surprising that it's the job of the investigator to peel back the cocoon." Zhou Dong commented, "Of course, it's really rare to be as meticulous as her, maybe it's talent!" ”

Zhou Liang glanced at his eldest brother who was calmly drinking tea on the side, returned the documents of Dali Temple to him, and then said, "Big brother, it's a little boring for you to say that." ”

Zhou Dong said: "What I said is the truth, compared to these, it is very important to find out who is behind those who intend to provoke my Great Chu and Tubo alliance." ”

A well-trained woman who plays with people's hearts in applause. It must be a great deal to be able to train such a fine work.

This case made others such as Zhou Liang feel wonderful and enjoyable, but he was shocked when he saw it.

If the means of taking over the case are a little weaker, and the mastermind behind the scenes is not found, and only the case is pushed to the cook of the Tibetan envoy group, then it is very likely to cause a war between the two countries.

The other party probably didn't expect that the opponent this time was also a master of solving cases, this girl is not very old, very stable, and the previous Shanxi Road matter was also solved very beautifully.

Of course, it is her ability to do things beautifully, but now the trouble has been transferred to the criminal department, that meticulous ...... Thinking of this, Zhou Dong got up and walked out.

"This official still has to meet the one in prison for a while."

The fine work that can cause such a big sensation is by no means an ordinary person, and it is not easy to get words out of her mouth.

Those who studied torture had already begun to study the punishment of that woman, after all, the limits of each person's body were different, one was not good, and if the person died, the gain would outweigh the loss.

Accompanied by Zhou Liang, Zhou Dong walked into the prison of the Criminal Department.

The head of the jailers, who was walking around the prison gate, saw that Lord Shangshu was there in person, and hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute.

Zhou Dong said: "How is the woman who picked up from Dali Temple in the morning?" ”

The head of the jailer said, "It's only been a short time since I finished feeding, and it's okay so far!" ”

Zhou Dong nodded and said, "Take the official to see that woman." ”

The leader of the jailers hurriedly responded and ordered the jailer to open the door first, while he accompanied the two brothers Zhou Dong and Zhou Liang to walk forward.

As he walked, he said: "My lord, because Dali Temple specially explained that the woman might commit suicide, so I waited for the anesthetic medicine prepared by Lord Zhao to keep her speechless and unable to bite her tongue." ”

When Zhou Liang heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Zhao Ruyi is really changing more and more...... Sophisticated. He really wanted to say that he was perverted, but he thought that people were doing things for the criminal department in a serious way, so he changed his words.

The head of the jailers had never heard of it: Commander Zhou, the brother of Lord Shangshu, could say this, but they nobodies could not say it.

That Lord Zhao, who studied torture, was supposed to be exiled after being a criminal minister, and if it weren't for his talent, Lord Shangshu would not have come forward to protect him, and even made him an official again.

It is that this reputation is really not very good, and more than half of the criminal department is famous, and the frightening punishments are all in his hands, and he also uses different methods of punishment for each different prisoner, and the thought of this makes people shudder.

But I'm afraid, Lord Zhao really has the ability to hang people in a breath so that they don't die, and there are countless murderers who confessed under his means.

Secretly sighed a few times, and suddenly heard an exclamation not far ahead.

The two jailers who had just gone to open the door rushed out of the cell in embarrassment and exclaimed, "Oh no, the man is dead!" ”

What the? Zhou Dong's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly walked to the prison door.

What I saw was a woman tied to a stake, her head hanging weakly, her messy hair hanging down on her chest, stained with blood, and the red color of the snow-white prison uniform was terrifying.

And on the ground not far from her, the truncated tongue that could not be seen clearly in the pool of blood looked extremely glaring in the clean and tidy cell.
