"Every year, there are not a few old people who suffer from dementia and go lost and report, some of them are recovered, but more of them cannot be found." Zhen Shiyuan said expressionlessly, "These things that can't be found will either become beggars after many years and will be found, or they will have accidents, such as accidentally slipping and accidentally falling into the water while walking in the mountains, etc., in short, the results are not very good." ”

Therefore, Zhou Daren is still nowhere to be seen, and it is predictable, and the result will naturally not be good.

Qiao Ran thought for a while and said, "But I remember that the Lord Zhou I saw that night seemed to be no different from ordinary people. ”

Zhen Shiyuan said: "Those who have dementia will not write the word dementia on their faces." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhen Shiyuan still had the potential to tell jokes, Qiao Ran was amused by his words, and after laughing a few times, he said: "I mean that Lord Zhou's symptoms are very mild, and it stands to reason that even if he is ill, he should know how to go home when he comes back to his senses." ”

After so many days, if I really had a slight dementia, it stands to reason that I would have known that I would have returned.

Zhen Shiyuan said: "So it is said that Lord Zhou is more than lucky." ”

"There is nothing wrong with being more auspicious, the key is that this murder is because of an accident due to illness or something else." Qiao Ran said.

Zhen Shiyuan opened the file in his hand and glanced up at her: "I will let people go to the mountains outside the city and the waterside outside the city to search, if it is an accident due to illness, the matter of finding someone can be handed over to this official." ”

Qiao Ran smiled a little when she heard this: So Zhen Shiyuan, the top person, is still good.

"But if it's missing for some other reason," she said with a smile, "then we need to see Master Jiang." ”

That's why Mr. Jiang will be suspected of being a suspect.

……

……

The Lord Qiao of Dali Temple was quite diligent, and the complaint sent in the morning came over at noon. The official who received the order was startled when he saw the person, and hurriedly led the person in.

The girl walked into the ministry under the guidance of the official, and looked at the yamen of the ministry curiously, which is different from the Dali Temple, and the yamen of the ministry is more solemn and more open. After all, compared with Dali Temple, which specializes in all kinds of cases, in addition to taking over the crimes committed by officials, there are also a lot of official appointments and other related things.

Taking over the crimes of officials is only a part of the affairs under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Officials, but this part of the Ministry of Officials is not doing badly, and there are also many powerful figures.

For example, the lost Lord Zhou, and then the following Lord Jiang in prison.

Well, when you think about it this way, this official ...... Pretty unlucky. That is the so-called passing year is not good!

The first time people entered the ministry, they were naturally very curious about this place, such as what a stone with engraved words on this side means, and when did the plaque over there come from.

For this kind of person, the guide officer has seen a lot, and he is about to memorize it like a stream, and when he hears her open to ask questions, he takes the trouble to introduce her.

The two talked while walking, and this journey also attracted the attention of many people.

“…… Is this Lord Qiao coming in to visit the yamen of my ministry? A few officials passing by looked at the two people who walked over with great interest, and said, "Aren't you here to see Lord Jiang?" Walking so leisurely, not afraid that Master Jiang will be falsely accused? ”

"What is she afraid of?" The official on the side shook his head as he spoke, and snorted disdainfully, "It's good that she and Lord Jiang didn't have a feud because of the previous case of room value, so why are you afraid that Lord Jiang will be falsely accused?" Maybe she would prefer to let Master Jiang stay inside and not come out than to let Lord Jiang come out! ”

"That's why we thought that Master Jiang had broken his head, and others didn't look for her, but looked for her!" Someone said that he couldn't help but shake his head again and again, "I complained about Lord Li before, I really lost my head for a while, and pushed Lord Jiang into the fire pit!" ”

"You say Li Zhao?" A few young officials seemed to hear their conversation, and immediately smiled at each other, and then muttered, "He's a drunkard, and he doesn't mean to drink!" Earlier, we saw him hand over the lanterns he won to Lord Qiao's maidservant! Of course, he hoped that Master Qiao would come to the ministry a few more times. ”

It turned out to be because of selfishness! As soon as these young officials reminded them, several people came back to their senses and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. This Lord Jiang's complaint can be repaid to them and Lord Ran!

It's okay now, it turns out that it was put on the table. But the matter has come to this point, and it can only be counted one step at a time, and how the case will be closed in the end will still be handed over to the ministry, so let's see when the time comes!

I can't tell...... Maybe this Lord Qiao is really lucky to really find Lord Zhou!

Several officials left with emotion.

……

Looking for Lord Zhou is not a matter of a while, I visited the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials all the way, Qiao Ran entered the prison of the Ministry of Officials under the guidance of the guide officer, and then went to meet Lord Jiang who was locked in prison under the leadership of the jailer.

Looking at the way the girl came in, Lord Jiang, who was sitting on the stone bed in the prison, did not urge, but watched the girl's actions seriously, and after the girl had seen enough, he slowly spoke: "Lord Qiao, is this prison different from Dali Temple?" ”

"It's different." Qiao Ran nodded, looked at the prison, and replied seriously, "Dali Temple doesn't have so many cells with separate partitions. ”

One by one, only a row of small windows leaked out, and the inside could not be seen, which made the originally very empty Dali Temple prison look a little cramped and depressing.

Of course, places like the prison have always been depressing, but compared to the prison of Dali Temple, it is even more depressing.

"You haven't been to the Punishment Department before," Master Jiang looked at the curious girl and laughed, "There are all such cells in that place, you will know if you have the opportunity to go in and have a look." ”

When he saw the girl, he seemed to be in a good mood.

"I don't want to go." The girl pursed her lips, her expression was extremely vivid, and she looked no different from the average thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.

But he knew that it was still different, at least ordinary thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls would not see this prison and their eyes would shine.

"I mean going to the criminal department as an official, not a suspect," Master Jiang said and pulled the regular clothes on his body self-deprecatingly, "If the one day I have it becomes a prison uniform, I may not be far from it." "And at that time, I was still in the criminal department as a suspect.

The topic finally turned to him, and the girl finally looked at him: "If the adult didn't harm Lord Zhou, he would naturally not have such worries." ”

"Well said," Master Jiang said and suddenly climbed down from the stone bed, walked over to look at her through the cell door, suddenly took a step back, solemnly saluted her, and then spoke, "So I ask you to take over and prove Qingbai for me," after a pause, he added, "Just like proving Zhen Shiyuan's innocence." ”

The girl glanced at him with a strange expression and said, "As far as I know, Master Jiang has been investigating for a long time before, and you have found nothing, how can I defeat you?" ”

"You can!" Master Jiang looked at her through the prison door with an astonishing lightness, as if he was looking at something strange that he had never seen before, "I already know about Princess Baling." Jiang Fang...... Bow down. ”

It was said that it was impossible for this Lord Jiang to be locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Officials, and suddenly thought of pointing her over to help him, it turned out that it was because of this! Qiao Ran finally understood.
