"First press these thieves to go to the Suppression Division and invite the officials to come." Jiang Banxia instructed the people on the side: "The rest will go to the restaurant with me to negotiate with the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. ”

The brocade guards patrolling the street did not question Jiang Banxia's words, they saw Jiang Banxia's ability, so they immediately sent someone back.

There was chaos in the restaurant, with tilted tables, a mess of glasses and plates, and even shoes that had been lost in the rush to flee.

The boss and the shopkeeper, who didn't have time to run away, shrank in the corner tremblingly and didn't dare to speak, for fear of provoking this group of officials.

Jiang Banxia looked around, and saw that the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division had packed the hall of the restaurant, and they neither went upstairs to search for thieves nor went out to evacuate the crowd, it seemed that they were just going to the restaurant to go through the motions.

So she arched her hand and said loudly: "Jinyiwei is handling the case, please make it convenient for you." ”

The people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division looked at each other when they heard this, and the people led by them glanced at the sign on Jiang Banxia's waist, and they had a number in their hearts.

It's just a pawn, and he immediately said hypocritically: "Jinyiwei investigates the case, we naturally don't dare to hinder it, but this thief should still be in the building, I waited downstairs for a while, and it may be inappropriate to walk away at this time..."

The people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division said extremely satisfactorily, they themselves are just a six-grade yamen who can't compare to the Jinyi Guards under the Son of Heaven, and the internal composition of the Jinyi Guards is very complicated, there are noble children, hereditary Jinyi Guards, and people in the royal family, so each of them dare not offend too much.

If you don't mess with it, it's a big problem!

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Banxia waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately rushed to the second floor.

She didn't want to talk more to the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, so she only said, "Hold downstairs." Then he also jumped up the stairs, the second floor was not as clear as the hall on the first floor, but was divided into a private room, Jiang Banxia's eyes swept over the closed or closed doors.

"Here!" He Qiaoyi was the first to find the private room where the crime occurred, and as soon as he kicked the door open, he saw half a water-red ramie yarn hanging on the window facing the door, which was very eye-catching.

Jiang Banxia stepped forward and ripped off the ramie yarn, took it in his hand and looked through it, it was a broken sleeve.

Then she leaned out of the window again, and her eyes were seen by the continuous eaves.

"Did you find anything?" He Qiao leaned forward and asked.

"The thief should have fled." Jiang Banxia pointed to the scattered broken tiles on the eaves not far away, and those tiles had obvious traces of being trampled on.

"Are we going to chase it?" Jin Yiwei, who followed closely, asked.

"Nope." Jiang Banxia turned around, she wrapped the half of the water-red ramie yarn and said: "The thief has run away, and now it's too late to chase, go downstairs first and wait for Shangguan to come, and then think about it in the long run." ”

The brocade guards gathered upstairs thought about it for a while and felt that what Jiang Banxia said was very reasonable, and it was too late to chase after it at this time, so it was better to report the situation to Shangguan first.

This restaurant is some distance away from the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, but it is not very far, Jiang Banxia and the others just went down to the second floor to greet their own people.

Everyone arched their hands: "Lin Zongqi." ”

It was still an acquaintance who came, Jiang Banxia was slightly sideways and hid behind He Qiao, she didn't really want to see Lin Cheng at this time.

I saw Lin Xuan with a straight face, and his tone was slightly deep: "Seal off this place, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." ”

"Yes." Immediately, there was a brocade guard.

He turned his gaze to the people occupying the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division in the hall of the restaurant, and scolded: "Jinyiwei handles the case!" Miscellaneous people, etc., don't you want to roll? ”

The people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division looked at each other, and no one refused to take the lead in speaking, and finally weighed it again and again, and ran away along the wall.

At this time, only Jinyiwei's own people were left in the entire restaurant, and Lin Cheng had already caught a glimpse of Jiang Banxia's figure in the crowd, and the other party seemed to be deliberately avoiding him.

So Lin Xuan opened his mouth and shouted: "Where is Jiangxia? ”

Jiang Banxia, who originally planned to fool the past, had to stand up, and she arched her hand: "Lin Zongqi, what do you command." ”

"I remember you took a half-day off, why are you here now?" Lin Cheng said this deliberately, he teased: "Can the family matter be solved? ”

"There was a murder when passing by here, and as the duty of the Jinyi guard, the lower officials stayed behind to assist the brothers who patrolled the streets." Jiang Banxia didn't pay attention to Lin Xian's teasing at all.

She took out the half of the water-red ramie sleeve from her cuffs and presented it with both hands: "This is what Xia Guan found in the window on the second floor, and the color fabric looks like the sleeves on the caftan worn by women." ”

Lin Cheng took the half of the water-red sleeve and looked at it carefully, from the style and color, it really looked like the sleeves on the caftan worn by a woman.

He Qiaoyi, who had been silent next to him, suddenly spoke: "Xia Guan thought that the broken sleeves were not necessarily on a woman's long robe. ”

"Oh?" Lin Cheng put on a look of being willing to hear the details: "How do you say it?" ”

"Now that spring is getting stronger, the literati in Kyoto are making hairpins, and there are not a few people who serve demons." He Qiaoyi explained: "It may also be worn by a man. ”

"The Demon Servant." Lin Cheng fell into deep thought.

Jiang Banxia and He Qiaoyi, who were standing on the side, didn't say a word, they were waiting for Lin Cheng to speak.

"Your Excellency!" The person who came ran out of breath: "My lord... The three thieves who had just been captured had committed suicide! ”

"Killed yourself?"

"All three of them bit the poison pill in their mouths and died of poison."

It turned out to be a suicide by taking poison! To be able to prepare such a thing as a poisonous pill, he must have come prepared, and he also had the attitude of swearing to die.

Jiang Banxia raised her eyes slightly, she was looking at Lin Cheng to see how he would deal with this matter.

"Be sure to verify the identity of the person who fell before today." Lin Cheng commanded.

"Yes, sir."

The progress of this matter is becoming more and more confusing, and the identity of the person who fell from the building must be extraordinary, otherwise why send a dead man to deal with the aftermath?

Lin Xuan glanced at Jiang Banxia: "Didn't you take a half-day off, why did you stay here?" ”

Jiang Banxia was not annoyed, she arched her hand and said, "The next official will retire." ”

......

Four dead bodies were parked in the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen, and after checking them one by one, they drew up the portraits and sent someone to post them, just waiting for their families to come and claim them.

Lin Cheng originally thought that this was just an ordinary murder case and could be handed over to the Criminal Department, but he never expected that the three thieves caught in the back would bite the poison pill and commit suicide!

The method of swallowing poison pills to commit suicide is a means only for organized dead soldiers and killers, and it is not simple to be able to dispatch dead soldiers and killers, and the real murderer behind the case must not be simple.

"What can you find?" Lin Cheng asked.

"The villain found several fatal wounds on the corpse's chest, caused by sharp objects." As he spoke, he gestured: "The wound is deep and bleeding is obvious. ”

"Sharp things?"

"The villain guesses that the murder weapon may be a dagger and a hairpin ring." He analyzed.

"But what else have you discovered?" Lin Cheng asked.

He wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead: "The villain has not made any other new discoveries yet.....

"Examine it carefully." Lin Cheng accentuated his voice and said, "Don't miss a clue." ”

"Yes, sir." He took the order.
