Chapter 55: Catch the Murderer
Jinluan Palace, the emperor listened to Huang Yu's report below, his brows furrowed, and he said lightly: "You say, this Qianyan found evidence so quickly?" ”
Huang Yu knelt on the ground and replied: "Yes, Lord Qian asked Weichen to come to the emperor, as long as you wait until tomorrow morning, the evidence can be taken out of the restaurant." ”
"Tomorrow morning? Do you know why he waited until tomorrow morning to get the evidence? Why not bring it now. ”
"Master Qian didn't tell Wechen, but only told Wechen that this evidence can only be obtained until tomorrow morning." Huang Yu replied.
The emperor glanced at him suspiciously, and found that his expression did not look like a fake, so he put down the rules in his hand: "Since this is the case, then wait for what kind of evidence he can come up with tomorrow." I seem to remember that some time ago, the Prime Minister's beloved son seems to have disappeared near the case. ”
Huang Yu was a little surprised, the emperor's words had already very clearly implied that this case was related to the prime minister, he opened his mouth, and finally didn't ask anything, and said goodbye: "Yes, the minister will retire." ”
After Huang Yu left, the big eunuch beside the emperor brought a bowl of tea, hesitated for a while and said, "Your Majesty, can Lord Qian really find evidence tomorrow?" ”
The emperor took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Then it depends on what kind of evidence he can find." ”
After Qian Yan asked Huang Yu to enter the palace to report the situation to the emperor, he was not idle, he walked out of this tavern and observed the shops nearby. found that the diagonal opposite of this tavern is Baihualou, Qianyan recalled that when he was a child, he often sneaked out, this Baihualou was always overcrowded, and every family hated this Baihualou at that time. It's just that this Baihualou doesn't seem to have a very good business scene recently, and this time is obviously the best time for business, but now the door is closed, and the business looks sluggish. Thinking about the case that happened in this tavern, I feel that these two events may be somewhat related.
Qian Yan didn't return to the military department, so he planned to find a tavern around here to stay, and maybe there would be some other gains. Chiyan rented a room in a tavern half a street away, where she could vaguely see the tavern where the accident had occurred. He didn't close the window, so it would have been a lively night.
When Huang Yu came back, he couldn't see Qianyan in the tavern. Knowing from the mouth of the soldier at the door that Qianyan had left, he sighed helplessly, and asked the soldier in charge to take a good look at this place, and he looked along the street to see if there was any suspicious person or some other evidence or something. This Qianda man was just perfunctory on the surface, but secretly he didn't know how many traps he had laid and waited for the murderer to throw himself into the net. When he entered the palace, he deliberately let his subordinates 'accidentally' leak the news, so that the murderer knew that they had found the evidence, so that the murderer would risk coming back to destroy the evidence.
It's just that what he doesn't understand is that Lord Qian means not to arrest him and let him go. If the murderer is allowed to escape, the crime will be really condemned to him.
Huang Yu walked with his head down all the way, and his mind was racing to think about the reason why Qianyan did this. I didn't notice that the stone on my head was loose and fell down. smashed in front of him, Huang Yu suddenly jumped out of his thinking, looked at these tiny stones on the ground, and looked up to see Qian Yan looking down at him.
Qian Yan poured Huang Yu a cup of tea and sat on the table looking at the tavern where the accident happened. Huang Yu took a sip of tea and asked the doubts in his heart: "How can Lord Qian live here, if you are here, even if we see the murderer coming, we can't rush over to arrest him, so the chance of the murderer running away is still very high." ”
Qian Yan retracted her gaze and smiled, "I never wanted to catch the murderer tonight. ”
Huang Yu: "Then when do you want to catch ...... Qian?
Qian Yan put a cup of tea in his hand: "Drink tea." ”
Huang Yu looked at Qianyan's expression, understood what he meant, and silently lowered his head to drink tea and stopped talking.
Qian Yan looked into the distance and caught a glimpse of someone entering the Baihua Building. While observing, he asked Huang Yu: "What's wrong with this Baihualou recently?" Business doesn't seem to be as good as it used to be. ”
Huang Yu was a little surprised when he heard him talk about Baihualou, although everyone was shocked by the power of the prime minister in this matter, and he didn't dare to discuss this matter on weekdays, but he adhered to the concept of knowing everything and saying everything, and told Qianyan what happened some time ago: "This Baihualou, something happened some time ago. The prime minister's son-in-law is gone inside.,I heard that it's because of a fight with a girl in the Baihualou who is the son of the Chang family.,It's gone by accident.。 The Baihualou didn't dare to open the door to welcome guests some time ago, but now it will be a little better, and it has been running again, but the prosperity of the Baihualou is no longer as good as before. ”
Qian Yan frowned: "You said that in this Baihua Building, the prime minister's son and Chang Shu had a conflict, and it was gone?" ”
Huang Yu nodded: "That's right, at that time, the prime minister was so angry that he wanted to cut Chang Yan with a knife, but he didn't know what happened in the middle, so the prime minister didn't take action." ”
After Qian Yan heard such a thing, her mind surged, maybe there are some inextricable relationships in it.
At midnight, there was a slight sound of footsteps, and Qianyan, who was leaning on the head of the bed, opened her eyes and looked outside. A figure slowly approached the tavern under the cover of night, and stopped on the roof of the tavern, where no one noticed him.
Qian Yan watched his movements closely from the windowsill, watching him flip into the tavern while the guards were not looking. Chiyan jumped off the windowsill and landed gently on the ground, heading in the direction of the tavern.
Huang Yu also opened his eyes, looked at Qianyan's disappeared windowsill, carefully turned over, and followed Qianyan to the tavern over there.
Coming to the vicinity of the tavern, Chiyan landed in a wing room on the second floor opposite the tavern. Looking through the window at the private room where the tavern had an accident opposite, a man in black was rummaging through it. Qian Yan took a small stone from the flower pot, looked at the vase opposite, and used internal force to smash the small stone into the vase on the opposite side.
A loud cracking sound rang out, and the guards guarding below heard the movement and immediately rushed upward. The man in black heard the sound of the vase, and the footsteps of the soldiers running up from downstairs were heard, and he couldn't estimate it so much, so he immediately jumped out of the window and left. After a few invisibility, he entered the Baihua Building.
Qian Yan hid in the tavern opposite and watched coldly as the man in black entered the Baihua Building, and then looked at the soldiers in the private room opposite, and came out of the tavern.
Huang Yu didn't follow Qianyan up, and hid in the corner downstairs. He had just heard a loud noise, and was about to go out to check, when he saw a man in black shaking over, and he quickly hid back. Seeing that the man in black led away the soldiers, he came back from another place and entered Wanxi Tower.
Qian Yan fell down and stopped in front of Huang Yu. Huang Yu immediately wanted to go up and let Qian Yan go to capture the murderer together, but Qian Yan didn't want to catch the murderer, turned around and walked to the tavern.
