Chapter 20: The Trap

Forcibly suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Zuo Xiangling strolled to the front of one of the officials headed by him, showing a smile that was not indifferent.

"It's good if the official has something to ask me, don't scare my guy, he is more timid, don't be scared."

The head of the official had a fierce light in his eyebrows, but Zuo Xiangling still looked directly at him, which made him a little unhappy in his heart, and his face became hideous.

"An hour ago, two bodies were found in the alley facing the street, so we were ordered to come and see if there were any suspicious leads."

Immediately afterwards, I saw that the official raised his right hand slightly, and gestured in the air, and the officials behind him began to search the restaurant, turning things into pieces.

Seeing that her neat place became cluttered, the uneasiness in Zuo Xiangling's heart suddenly turned into a faint anger.

"What are you doing, sir, we are all good citizens, how dare we kill people, although we didn't open the door to do business today, it's not that we have any bad intentions, it's me who is researching new dishes, this is something that the neighbors know."

The meaning of this was to drive these officials away, and it was impossible to justify just searching their house, and those neighbors began to whisper when they saw so many officials entering the first floor at once.

"Hmph, even if that's the case, you still have a responsibility to cooperate with our investigation."

Swept Zuo Xiangling with cold eyes, and the official also began to look around.

Looking at the more and more people gathered around, Zuo Xiangling was not afraid in her heart, anyway, she didn't kill the person, no matter how you checked, she wouldn't be able to find out about her.

But when those people went upstairs, she was still nervous for a moment, after all, Shangguan Feibai was still on top of it.

immediately walked upstairs, and at the moment when Zuo Xiangling was about to enter the bedroom, a servant inside suddenly broke out and almost collided with her.

The official staggered downstairs and handed the chief officer something.

The thing seemed to have a faint glow, like something metal, and a dark green tassel underneath.

The official who was the leader turned the things around in his hand, as if he was checking something, and after a moment, he looked up at Zuo Xiangling.

"This thing doesn't look like the boss lady should have, this is a unique token of the killer of Bihaique on the rivers and lakes, come on, arrest her!"

As soon as the words fell, the official who was still searching for the evidence of the crime just now stopped Zuo Xiangling.

Waiting for Zuo Xiangling to be pressed to the lobby downstairs, Fang Zishi was still stunned, although he didn't know Zuo Xiangling's origin, he also knew that Zuo Xiangling didn't know martial arts, let alone a killer, and he was about to go up to stop people, but he was stared at by Zuo Xiangling's clever eyes, so he could only stop.

"Let go, I'll go by myself, this thing is not mine, but I will cooperate with the investigation, and the official doesn't have to be aggressive."

After speaking, Zuo Xiangling put his eyes on the official who was the leader, and the sharp eyes stunned the officer, this was the first time he had seen a woman have such eyes.

The surrounding officials understood what their boss meant, and immediately let go of Zuo Xiangling.

Before leaving, Zuo Xiangling turned around and said to Fang Zishi.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon, take care of the one upstairs."

I don't know if these words can make Fang Zishi feel at ease, Zuo Xiangling only hopes that he can sleep well tonight.

Everyone withdrew from the first floor, Fang Zishi was teary-eyed, although he had never been to this prison, he had also heard that nine times out of ten those who went in would not be able to get out, and if they didn't die, they would have to shed their skin, although Zuo Xiangling was very arrogant, she was still a woman after all.

Shangguan Feibai upstairs finally couldn't lie down, he heard the conversation downstairs just now, he killed the person and had nothing to do with Zuo Xiangling, but he really didn't expect that he would be discovered so quickly.

It would be nice if only the corpses were found, but this incident is really weird, because that night, after the two killers committed suicide, he threw everything that could identify them into the river, and there was this token among them.

He clearly remembered that he had thrown two tokens, and now that one of them had appeared here, it seemed a little too much to say.

Moreover, Zuo Xiangling has no internal strength, so it is impossible for Bi Haique to be the killer of Bi Haique, and even if he is, it is impossible to hide the token in such a place where it can be found so easily.

The previous can only show one problem, someone deliberately wanted to do this, and their purpose was not to investigate the cause of death of those two people, but to find a reason to arrest Zuo Xiangling.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the man in the yard yesterday, although he was a little far away at that time, and he couldn't hear what they were talking about, but he could see from Zuo Xiangling's expression that he was forcing Zuo Xiangling to do something.

Now either Zuo Xiangling agrees to that person's request, or he has to wait for that person to release him, and the possibility of the latter is basically very small, so he made a decision that surprised him.

He's going to rob the prison.

Robbery means breaking the law, and this crime has always been a capital crime, but he just blocked himself for the thought that Zuo Xiangling might be injured in his heart, which surprised him, but he didn't think much about it, since he made a decision, he had to do it.

On the other side, Zuo Xiangling was pressed into the prison, originally thinking that she would be locked up with those prisoners, but she was worried all the way.

But when she arrived, she found out that she was a single room, although there was only one piece of hay, but compared to those three or five female prisoners in one room, she was simply too happy.

"Hey, what did you do to get locked in?"

There was a question in a compartment next to her, Zuo Xiangling turned her head to look, and saw several women with messy hair staring at her, one of them had sharp eyes, as if he was dissatisfied, thinking that he was the boss of the room.

There is a class system in this society, even in prison, as long as there is a little means and money, people can live a prosperous life in prison, and even the jailers have to respectfully call 'master'.

Zuo Xiangling didn't answer that person's question, anyway, she would go out soon, and she couldn't get involved with them.

However, looking around, there are three people in one room, there are four or five people in one room, and the most is five people in one room, why is she one person in one room?

Just because she's just a suspect?

Zuo Xiangling didn't think that the yamen would be so kind and would arrange a single room for her, there must be something wrong with it.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through her.

He's a grandma!

It must have been a trap set by Ji Chen's servant for her, in order to force her to comply.

"This ungrateful guy, I should have known that I shouldn't have taken him in, and I played with bubble water for him, and he didn't recognize anyone when he turned his face!"
