Lu Xiaoxiao's voice was faint: "Why are you going?" ”

"I'll go and see if the two people who went after Lu Wu have returned."

Lu Xiaoxiao said: "It's thundering, is it going to rain?" I'm a little scared, Lu Hun, can you come and accompany me? ”

Lu Xiaoxiao leaned on the pillow, with a pair of charming eyes like silk, staring at Lu Hun.

"Princess ......"

"It's not the first time. Lu Hun, why are you like an elm pimple? It's not good to train no matter what. That little one is very clever, and I really want to train and train it. ”

Lu Hun turned his head suddenly, gritted his teeth and said: "My subordinates told the princess that those two are the scum of the golden jade, why doesn't the princess have a snack?" ”

"Because you're boring." Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Hun with disgust.

Lu Hun blushed, bit his lip, and walked towards Lu Xiaoxiao step by step.

It rained in the middle of the night, and when it was dawn, someone knocked on Lu Xiaoxiao's door.

"What's the matter?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked lazily.

Lu Hun, who was sleeping next to her, hurriedly got up and dressed, and her face was dark, and her cheeks turned red all of a sudden.

Lu Xiaoxiao looked desired. begging for dissatisfaction, he said lightly: "What are you anxious about?" ”

Lu Hun was submissive, biting his lower lip and not daring to speak.

A voice came from outside: "Master, Cui Jian is here." ”

"What's the matter?"

"It is said that there was another murder case at the Tianshi Temple last night."

"Let him and Guo Jiutai handle the murder case, what are you doing to find me?"

"Master, he said, it was ...... who died"

The people outside were spitting, and Lu Xiaoxiao realized that something was wrong and said, "Let him come in and say." ”

She put on her clothes and quickly tidied up her appearance, and Lu Hun also put on her clothes, tied her hair, and let the people outside in.

"Master, childe."

"What the hell is going on?" Lu Xiaoxiao sat on the chair dignified and asked.

"The one who died was one person sent by Childe, but the other person has not been found yet, and someone is being sent to search in the mountains. Master Cui Jian asked me to tell him. ”

Lu Xiaoxiao asked, "Is Cui Jian here?" ”

"Here, in the lobby outside, by the way, I'm taking someone to check the guests of this inn."

"Let's go down and have a look. You go out first, tell Cui Jian, we'll go over later. ”

Lu Xiaoxiao and Lu Hun packed up their appearance, walked outside, and saw that there were already several officials standing in the courtyard, searching each room.

Lu Xiaoxiao subconsciously looked up at Yang Ling's room, the door was closed, and it seemed that he hadn't woken up yet.

Lu Xiaoxiao's eyebrows frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.

Lu Hun also saw that she was paying attention to the room upstairs and asked, "Master, what are you suspecting?" When he was not with each other in private, he changed his words and no longer called her a princess, but a master.

Lu Xiaoxiao shook his head: "I don't know." I just feel that there is some familiarity inexplicably. Where is Cui Jian? ”

She was asking a question when she saw a literati-looking person in a long robe walk in from the inner door of the lobby, and it was the master beside Guo Jiutai.

The man walked straight to Lu Xiaoxiao's side and bowed deeply: "Cui Jian has seen the master. ”

This master-like person is just a person sent by Lu Xiaoxiao to Guo Jiutai to assist in handling the case, surnamed Cui Mingjian, who is an official in the court to the fourth rank, and works in the Criminal Department.

"How's it going?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked.

"The Ghost Hand has already experienced corpses." He took a step forward and lowered his voice: "He died of poisoning, at the hands of our own people." At that time, the situation should have been that he had fallen into the hands of an adversary, and his companions were afraid that he would divulge secrets, so he gave up. ”

At this time, in Yang Ling's room upstairs, the door opened a crack silently, and in the gap, an aura full of eyes was revealed.

"Ling, what he said is that it was their own people who killed their own people's mouths last night."

"Can you lip read?"

"Well, a little." Her main business is singing and acting, and she is still very familiar with lip language.

Yang Ling nodded, "What are they talking about now?" ”

Downstairs, Lu Xiaoxiao was asking, "Where is the remaining one now?" Did you find it? ”

"Not yet. The subordinates went to the scene, because it had rained last night, and all traces of the scene were washed away. ”

As he was talking, another person hurried over from outside, came to Lu Xiaoxiao, and saluted: "Master, the person has been found and is also dead." Do you want to ask Ghost Hand to conduct an autopsy? ”

Lu Xiaoxiao asked, "Isn't the ghost hand at the scene?" So where is he? ”

"I'm here at the inn too, just outside."

"Call him in first."

The ghost hand was soon called in, and Lu Xiaoxiao said: "When you go to the mountain, you must check it carefully, and don't miss any details." ”

This ghost hand is the work of Guo Jiutai's side.

Lu Xiaoxiao raised his chin and signaled, "You go." ”

"Yes." The ghost hand flashed and walked very fast.

Qu Xiaobai looked at Yang Ling and said, "No wonder I thought these two people were very powerful before, not like ordinary people and masters, the original people around her." ”

"That literati-like person, his name is Cui Jian, he is a waiter in the Criminal Department, a ghost hand, he is a man in the rivers and lakes, and he is good at autopsy."

"How did you know this so quickly? Haven't you always been stupid before? ”

"Mu Nanyun transferred some very useful people for me to use."

"Well, he trusts you."

"It's not necessarily trust, it's just people who make the most of it. Xiaobai, when we had just moved to the riverside hut, someone followed us, and I caught one and found a tattoo on his shoulder, the same as the tattoo on the two men who died last night. ”

"So, was Lu Xiaoxiao's person stalking us before? But why did she follow us? ”

"It's not clear about that. However, one day it will come to light. Now it seems that our identity has not leaked into Lu Xiaoxiao's ears. ”

Yang Ling always felt that something was wrong.

Up to now, his identity should be unknown to no third person except Tang Muqiao, so why did someone follow him and Qu Xiaobai? What the hell is going for?

Those people seem to be going for something, something, except for Qu Xiaobai's bracelet and the iron box, there is a token of identity on him, could it be that they are here for the things on his body?

But that doesn't make sense.

Whether it was Lu Xiaoxiao or the people around her, they didn't seem to know about his existence.

Either they are hiding too deeply, or there are twists and turns in it. Anyway, there's no rush in this matter, let's see what they want to do first.

Qu Xiaobai chatted with him for a few words, and asked what happened last night, Yang Ling told the truth and did not hide it. After listening to this, Qu Xiaobai went to tidy up his makeup, Yang Ling stood in front of the door, and watched Lu Xiaoxiao dismiss everyone through the gap, so he didn't continue to watch.

Cui Jian first took someone to Yang Chun's room and interrogated Yang Chun.

Yang Chun is a scholar, and he really did not participate in this case, so he naturally can't ask suspicious, the only suspicious thing is his relationship with Yang Ling Qu Xiaobai, obviously he is Qu Xiaobai's "brother", why Qu Xiaobai is not close to him, but is closer to his cousin.

In this regard, Yang Chun's explanation is also very strong: "Who does he want to kiss, and how can I influence it?" He's a human being, with legs, feet, and brains, and he's not a piece of flesh on me. ”

Cui Jian's sharp eyes looked at him for a long time, and he didn't see anything wrong, so he led someone upstairs and went straight to Yang Ling and Qu Xiaobai's room.

Qu Xiaobai has already pretended to be a boy again, wearing a green shirt, combing his hair in a bun, and a black jade hairpin is on his bun.

Cui Jian pushed the door in, and saw her tired of Yang Ling, hugging Yang Ling's waist and calling cousin, Cui Jian's eyebrows furrowed, and his face was very distorted, "Ahem, you guys." ”

Qu Xiaobai hurriedly let go of Yang Ling, the roots of his neck and ears were red, and he shrank to Yang Ling's side, obviously his eyes were full of fear, but he felt a little domineering by Yang Ling's side: "Who are you?" Why do you just break into someone's room and don't knock on the door? ”

Cui Jian regained his calm appearance and said, "I am from the government, and I was ordered to investigate some things. ”

"Yes...... Is it to investigate the murder case in the Heavenly Master Temple? It wasn't us who did it, my cousin and I were both people who didn't even dare to kill chickens. ”

Qu Xiaobai hid in Yang Ling's arms, Yang Ling rubbed her head, and gently comforted: "Don't be afraid, there is a cousin here." If we didn't do it, the people in the government wouldn't rely on us. ”

"He looks so fierce."

Cui Jian: "......" Am I also murderous?

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to ask a few questions."

"Just ask." Yang Ling rubbed Qu Xiaobai's head to "appease" her, and said lightly.

"What's your name, where are you? What did you come out for? ”

Yang Ling said: "Chu Zhi people." My cousin Mu Yiling. A native of Nanping County, I am going to the capital to discuss a deal, and my two cousins are out to travel. We met here by chance, not together, what else does the official have to ask? ”

He used the name of the Chu Zhi people.

Chu Zhiren was the inside line of the assassin at the beginning, and in the three years since the destruction of Zixu Villa, no suspicious person appeared beside him, and he wanted to use Chu Zhiren as bait to see if anyone who took the bait appeared.

"I heard from the innkeeper that you disappeared a few days ago, where did you go and what did you do?"

"I went to Qingshan County to visit an old friend, had a good conversation with him, and stayed at his house when I was drunk."

Cui Jian's eyes were sharp: "Who are your old friends?" ”

"The coffin shop in Sesame Hutong is surnamed Sun Mingsheng."

"Since the visit is over, why don't you hurry to the capital, but come back again?"

"When I went to Qingshan County, I didn't settle the bill, so I came back, but I didn't expect to see that there was a murder when I came back, and the government sealed the town and didn't let me go."

Yang Ling's answer was watertight, and his indifferent and calm appearance made Cui Jian unable to find any flaws, but it was precisely because he was so indifferent that Cui Jian couldn't help but be suspicious.

Qu Xiaobai kept shrinking in his arms, looking frightened.

Cui Jian stared at her, "What about you?" Aren't you gone too? Why did you come back? ”
