The temple suddenly slapped his palm on the case, took back the hidden weapon called "Dark Feather", and said in a low voice: "Don't make a noise about this in advance, if the case related to the Northern Qi Dynasty is not handled well, the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department will not be able to please you." ”

Wu Hiiragi's face was unwavering, and he just nodded, "These stakes, the villain still understands." ”

"It's good to know." Teramai put the dark feather in his sleeve and left in a hurry.

When Dali Qing heard this, he was pacing in front of the public case, unable to make up his mind for a long time.

Teramao said cautiously, "My lord, this matter ......."

Dali Qing was a little irritated and said: "Let me think about it again, this case is related to Northern Qi, and I can't be careless." ”

Since the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed three years ago, all people and things related to the Northern Qi Dynasty seem to have become taboo. Especially in the court, in front of His Majesty the Emperor, few people dared to mention the word "Northern Qi".

Northern Qi is a thorn in His Majesty's heart, if this case is really related to the remnants of Northern Qi and the black kite, then this thorn will stab many people. Especially, if the case cannot be decided in time......

But if this matter is concealed and finally learned by His Majesty, it will not only be a crime of deception. After all...... The emperor is suspicious.

After considering the profits and losses, Dali Qing instructed: "You go and ask the master to write an excerpt and write a detailed description of the case, and I will personally present it to Your Majesty." ”

"Yes, the next official will go."

……

Emperor Yan read the excerpt with an expressionless face, neither asking nor getting angry, but said lightly: "Then this case will be handed over to Dali Temple and the Criminal Department for joint trial, and the case will be closed within ten days." "I can't hear the mood of joy or anger.

"Wechen takes orders."

After Dali Qing walked out of the Qi Ming Palace, he exhaled, took out a thin roll from his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat on his hands.

Sometimes, the calmer it is, the more difficult it is to deal with.

Inexplicably picked up half of the mess, Shangshu of the Criminal Department pinched his eyebrows and was worried, and finally sent a Lang Zhong to Dali Temple.

Langzhong Cui Yin is a thin young man in his early twenties, who has only been in the Criminal Department for less than a year, but he is very neat in solving cases. Dali Temple Shaoqing Anyuan is a few years older than him, and he is more sophisticated. The two have also broken a few cases together, dealt with some things, and have some tacit understanding.

An Yuan waited on the side for Cui Yin to finish reading the case file and asked, "How is it?" ”

Cui Yin chuckled: "It's such a small murder case, and it actually needs to be tried jointly by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, so it's a bit of a fuss." ”

An Yuan glanced at him, clasped his hands and walked in the direction of the prison, "What do you know." No matter how small the case is, once it involves the Northern Qi royal family, it must be reported to His Majesty, no matter how the case is decided, it is a hot potato. You and I are hanging this time, ......"

Cui Yin followed behind with his hand, "Lord Shaoqing, don't be pessimistic." ”

"Lord Shaoqing, Cui Langzhong," the prison leader led the two to the cell and unlocked the cell, "This is the murderer." ”

Kungo lowered his eyelids when he heard the commotion, and soon closed them again.

Cui Yin asked, "What's your name, why did you kill someone?" ”

Kun Wu fiddled with his hands, and the chains "rattled".

"I didn't kill anyone."

"You didn't kill anyone? The human and material evidence are all there, and you are still quibbling," Cui Yin raised his voice and said, "You said that you didn't kill anyone, so why did you flee in the same direction as the murderer, and why did the murderous weapon in your hand-"

Kun Wu said coldly: "I don't even know who the dead man is, why kill him?" ”

Cui Yin snorted coldly and said, "I think that a ruthless person like you will inevitably consider who will die, but it's just a matter of speed." ”

"It's so fast," Kungo sneered, "you said I tried to kill someone quickly, so why didn't you ask me where the sword wound behind me came from." That dead man probably doesn't know how to use a sword, is there a matching sword at the scene of the murder? ”

"......" Cui Yin choked for a while, the murderer was injured, and he was negligent about this.

Kun Wu said again: "Since the human and material evidence is there, why haven't you closed the case yet?" It's just a small murder case, you bring a confession, and I will draw a prisoner, so why do you have to work so hard. ”

An Yuan said angrily: "Killing people is to pay for your life, since you said that you didn't kill anyone, why do you have to suffer this kind of suffering?" If you have a grievance, tell it, and I will report it truthfully. ”

Kungo knew who this conspiracy was aimed at, and his master did not lack him a guard, and it didn't matter if he lived or died.

At this time, a prison servant came to report, "Lord Shaoqing, someone has come to visit the prison." ”

"Who?"

The prisoner glanced at Kun Wu and continued, "That man claims to be Bai Xiying, and he wants to investigate the murderer from last night. ”

Kungo's fingers trembled imperceptibly

An Yuan looked at Cui Yin, and the two exchanged glances. An Yuan said to the prison man: "You go and take him to the court first, and I will arrive later." ”

Standing in the public hall was a young man in white, half of whom was covered by a silver mask, who looked like a noble son.

Bai Xiying bowed elegantly and said, "My lord." ”

An Yuan sat down after the case and asked, "Who is the person in the prison and what is his relationship with you." ”

"His name is Kungo, he is my house slave, and now he is my bodyguard."

An Yuan asked again: "Since he is your guard, then you are his master." DID YOU KNOW...... Where did he go last night and what did he do? ”

Bai Xiying said: "Yesterday, he asked him to go to Chiba Tower to settle the account, and he never came back. ”

"What are you going to settle your bill?"

Bai Xiying smiled: "It's just that I went to listen to a few tunes a few days ago, and I didn't bring any silver." ”

What kind of place is Chiba Tower, An Yuan knows, and it is inconvenient to ask more about this kind of wind and moon matter, so he turned to ask: "Then who are you?" ”

"Under the white shadow, it's just a little supervisor in Yuefu."

"Oh? Is there anyone else in your family?"

"There is only one other guard in the house, named Yi Bai. Both father and brother are in South Vietnam. ”

"......" An Yuan thought for a long time, and then asked, "Can the Gongzi family have dealings with the people of Northern Qi?" ”

Bai Xiying's face did not change and said, "No." ”

……

In the end, Bai Xiying still didn't see Kungo.

An Yuan and Cui Yin answered almost the same as each other, and Chiba Lou also went to investigate, and it was indeed as the master and servant said.

The two sighed at the same time, and Cui Yin wailed: "What kind of case is this-it's better not to catch the murderer if he catches it, where do you start now, go to South Vietnam to greet the father of the white shadow?" ”

An Yuan held his left arm with his right hand, and his fingers rhythmically put his fingers on his arm, "That man said that he was chased and killed, but if he had nothing to do with the Northern Qi Black Kite, why did he take that hurting blade?" ”

"You mean ......"

An Yuan nodded, "Whether that person named Kun Wu is a real murderer, or whether he was set a trap by someone, it has nothing to do with Northern Qi." That white shadow is not easy to deal with. ”

"Since it is related, it is better to speculate. If Nakungo is indeed one of the Black Kites, then he, as the house slave of the White Shadow, must obey him. You and I don't know the internal class system of the black kite, but the Northern Qi royal family must be able to control the black kite. A person in the royal family at this age, Shaoqing might as well think about it, who will there be?"
