Chapter Fifty-Eight: Horse's Feet

In the anxious waiting of Shangguan Jin and Xia Hou, the work finally came.

"My subordinates have seen adults." He ran in sweaty.

"Qin Qing, you're finally here, come and Xianyun here to take a sip of tea slowly." Xiahou helped Qin Qing up, pressed on the chair and poured him a cup of tea.

Qin Qing didn't politely pick up the teacup and poured a few sips violently.

"I knew it was a big deal, so I rushed over without stopping." After Qin Qing finished drinking the tea, he eased up and said slightly: "Your Highness, without further ado, let's start investigating immediately." ”

Qin Qing turned his head to look at Shangguan Jin and said eagerly.

Shangguan Jin nodded, and then walked up to the house with Qin Qing.

I saw Qin Qing put on special gloves and followed Shangguan Jin to the side of the landscape painting.

Qin Qing gently took down the landscape painting and put it on the table beside him.

When Qin Qing looked at the painting carefully, his brows furrowed even tighter.

"My lord, please see, this bloodstain is a little different from the usual bloodstains." After Qin Qing finished speaking, he took off his gloves, took the brush on the side, pulled the guard over and said, "Let's make an assumption, the murderer will put the dagger against the victim's neck, and then cut the dagger through the neck, and the blood sprayed will stain the walls, murals, and ground." With that, Qin Qing swiped the brush across the guard's neck.

"Based on the time and shape of the bloodstains, it can be judged that the deceased should have been dead for a year, but it is crucial that the bloodstains on the ground and walls are cleaned up!"

After listening to Qin Qing's words, Shangguan Jin and Xiahou frowned, and then walked towards the local government mansion without stopping.

"The two adults came to the cold mansion, and they missed the distance, and I hope the adults will not blame." Lord Wang said to Shangguan Jin and Xiahou with a big beer belly.

"Lord Wang doesn't have to be polite, I came here today, and I really have something important." Xiahou waved his hand and said to Wang Daren.

"If you have any orders, just put them forward, and your subordinates will do their best."

"Lord Wang is really polite, what we want is the case of the Qinglou woman a year ago." Shangguan Jin looked at Lord Wang and said slightly.

Lord Wang was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Highness, wait a while, and I will ask the civil official to bring the case over." ”

"Speaking of the matter of this Qinglou woman, Xia Guan felt a little strange, I also heard about her case when I first took office, and I casually flipped through the records of the case and found that things were not simple."

Shangguan Jin raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the skill, you mean that this case is not tried by you?" ”

"This case is really not a trial by the lower officials, and after this matter was dull for two months, the lower officials were ordered to come to Liancheng."

Xiahou looked at Lord Wang and felt that he was not lying, so he nodded at Shangguan Jin.

"My lord, this is the record of the case back then."

The official of the yamen recorded the case and said to the three of them.

Shangguan Jin took the lead in getting the case, flipped through it, and felt more and more that something was wrong.

handed the book to Xiahou, and then said.

"Who recorded it back then, and why it was written so metaphorically, makes people have to wonder."

"Back to Your Highness, the original person disappeared without a trace when the official came."

Hearing this, Xiahou and Shangguan Jin couldn't help but be disappointed, and when they came out of the yamen, the sky was still dark.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Xiahou looked at the gloomy weather and couldn't help but ask Shangguan Jin.

Shangguan Jin narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Let's go to the Qinglou again, there must be something that is not certain, we haven't found it." ”

"Official, we are going to do business here, you come here twice a day, isn't it appropriate?" Mom smeared a heavy rouge and looked at Shangguan Jin and Xia Hou dissatisfied.

"Mom really likes to laugh, I don't know that this Donglin Pavilion case depends on your color, if you think it's not suitable, then go and ask the saint, see if it's suitable, or do you want to go to this Donglin Pavilion for a trip?" Xia Hou looked at her mother, and her face became more and more difficult to look at.

When the mother heard this, she hurriedly rolled her eyes, and the heavy rouge gouache couldn't cover it, shook her head and said respectfully: "The villain is stupid, the villain's stupid mouth annoys the adult, if the adult wants to check, then just check, the villain, you must do your best to help the adult, of course, if you want to know anything, just ask." ”

Xia Hou sneered, and followed Shangguan Jin over.

Shangguan Jin looked at the various women standing in front of him, sat on the chair, squinted his eyes slightly, and tapped his fingers on the table again and again.

The sound of knock knock seemed to only knock on the table, and then on the hearts of these Qinglou women.

"You are also an old man in the Qinglou, today I will ask you some questions, what strange things happened last year?" After a while, Shangguan Jin asked slightly.

The women on the stage looked at each other, and after a while, a woman stood up and said: "Lord Hui, it was only Qiu'er who died of illness last year, and if you think about it, it seems that nothing can happen." ”

Shangguan Jin nodded, and then looked at the women again.

"My lord, there is one more thing." The dancer on the side stood up and said to Shangguan Jin: "A few days ago, it was the Oiran Contest, and there was a particularly good-looking rough maid in our building, but in fact, she had been promoted to a girl and could participate in this Oiran Contest, but for some reason she suddenly disappeared and didn't even participate in the Oiran Contest." ”

Shangguan Jin and Xiahou looked at each other, and hurriedly asked, "This is true, but there is no half-truth?" ”

"My lord, everything the slave said is true, and there is no lie."

Shangguan Jin and Xia Hou hurriedly left the Qinglou and sent someone to immediately investigate the disappeared woman in the Qinglou.

The two of them walked back to Donglin Pavilion first. After anxiously waiting, the guards finally walked in.

"My lord, my subordinates have been checking for a long time, and we have searched for places that can be hidden, places that a woman can think of, but we have not found anything."

"Didn't find anywhere?"

"It's like you've just disappeared out of thin air."

When Shangguan Jin heard this, he sat up and said to Xia Hou: "A living person, it is impossible to disappear out of thin air, seal up Lotus City, look for me carefully, look for it slowly, and you must find out the disappeared Qingqi!" ”

"But Your Highness, will this startle the snake?" Xiahou asked Shangguan Jin uneasily.

"I can't control so much now, I'm afraid that after a long time, the Qing Qi will be in danger, and now the person who abducted her will show his feet if he hears the news."

"It's Your Highness, your subordinates will send someone to seal the Lotus City immediately!"

As soon as the words fell, Xiahou hurriedly walked out with the guards.
