After returning to the yamen, Shen Luo watched someone carry a corpse back, frowned and said suspiciously, "What's the matter?" ”

"Didn't you just go along? I think you went there! Xuanyuan Qinghe said with a determined face, that tone was absolutely unquestionable.

Shen Luo recalled that there was indeed a figure flashing by his side quickly, and he took Li Xiaoran's hand and rushed to the door.

Shen Luo also shouted a few times, but the people who were running didn't hear it, and they didn't even respond, so they didn't take it to heart and continued to practice the sword.

"Are you sure you see me? I was just ignored by you, okay? But then again, what is this carrying a dead man for? ”

Shen Luo's attention was already attracted by this corpse, and he quickly stepped forward to check, picked open the clothes with his sword, and saw the scars inside.

"Ah, that looks like I was mistaken." Xuanyuan Qinghe said with a little embarrassment, but saw that Shen Luo seemed to be very interested in this. Then he asked, "Do you see anything?" ”

"Is that why you just ran out? Did you do an autopsy? How so? Shen Luo had actually seen it, but he also wanted the most definite answer, and he had to listen to his opinion, so that he could determine whether his guess was consistent with that of Chenzuo.

"Just now, he came to check on the body, and then ran away, but he said that this person was injured by a sharp weapon, and the traces should be a sword, straight to the point, and he is probably a master."

After Li Xiaoran took the conversation, he said that after Shen Luo listened, he was almost as good as he thought, so he confirmed his conjecture.

"That's pretty much it, who is this person? Did his family find out? Shen Luo asked, pointing to the corpse on the ground.

Chen Wei immediately took over and said: "I have been notified, and I have also sent someone to his family to inquire, and the person who came back said that his name is Lin Yuan, and he is a watchman, and he can barely make ends meet."

His wife was emotionally unstable when she heard that her husband had been killed, but she couldn't figure out why someone would kill him. ”

"Have you ever had a similar case here?" Xuanyuan Qinghe didn't know what to do for a while, but for now, he could only take one step at a time.

Chen Wei has not been in this yamen for a long time, and he is not from Qinzhou, so it is difficult to answer this question, so he gave Song Yong a look and asked him to answer.

"Let me tell you, I'm in charge of the file, we have very few such things here, there are only a dozen files, there have been any before, I don't know, at present, there are no similar cases in recent years, it can be ruled out that it is a serial murder case."

Song wondered in his heart, "Aren't you in charge of the prison department?" Don't you know more about these things to me? "But it's one thing to wonder, it's still going to be said.

"Then let's go around and see if anyone sees it, and then Song Yong will continue to check the file, and the rest of the people will disperse and search for the whole city!" Li Xiaoran thought for a while and said.

Everyone was stunned, and thought to themselves: "I'm afraid I have been a prefect before, and I know these processes very well!" ”

In fact, Li Xiaoran just watched too much suspense TV, and he was more familiar with these, anyway, it was useless to count on Xuanyuan Qinghe, so it was better to give it a try himself.

Song Yong immediately went to the Zhaoma Institute to investigate the case files in recent years to see if there were any similarities. Chen Wei brought several teams of people from the yamen to search everywhere.

Shen Luo didn't seem to be interested in this, so he didn't follow Xuanyuan Qinghe and Li Xiaoran to visit, but went back to the other courtyard.

Walking on the street, all kinds of people passed by and disturbed, all of them were stained with the smell of dust and fire, but there was a murder, and they didn't know it.

Xuanyuan Qinghe is like a three-year-old child, he does not take solving the case to heart, but has always been interested in the things placed on the street vendors, taking this and that for a while.

"Are you confident that you can find the perpetrators? Arrest the real murderer? Li Xiaoran looked at Xuanyuan Qinghe and asked absent-mindedly curiously.

"Nope." Xuanyuan Qinghe said bluntly, then stared at Li Xiaoran's face again, and said sincerely: "Isn't there still you?" ”

"Thinking too much, huh? Are you mistaken, you are the prefect, I am just a little girl, I can't be crazy, right? Li Xiaoran's face was full of surprise, and he thought to himself: It can't be stimulated by something, right? Since such words will be spoken.

"Just kidding! After all, we are people with status, not to mention, we are here! ”

Li Xiaoran came back to his senses at this time, and before he knew it, he had come to Embroidery Lane. Although Xiuxiang is not big, the neighborhood is relatively dense, and there should be some unexpected results.

"Let's go, go to the restaurant next to the crime site to eat, because that place will have the result we want."

Xuanyuan Qinghe and Li Xiaoran came to the hotel, and the shopkeeper immediately greeted him, poured tea and water, and then said to Li Xiaoran and Xuanyuan Qinghe with a smile:

"I don't know what to eat here with us, two guest officers? Although our small shop is not as good as Tingyunxuan, there are also a lot of delicious treasures, such as this eight-treasure duck..."

"Stop!" Xuanyuan Qinghe hurriedly made a gesture and continued to the shopkeeper: "Whatever you want, I'll tip you later." ”

"Well, wait a minute, guest officer! I'm making you a cup of tea. The shopkeeper picked up the teapot and walked to the back kitchen with a smile on his face.

Li Xiaoran looked at this little er's smile, it was definitely sincere, before he said that he gave a tip, this smile looked like a professional smirk, and his face was not smiling. After giving the tip, that smile can only be described as bright.

"This is called professionalism, when you see people talking about people, you talk nonsense when you see ghosts, if you are an official, you will soon become a god." Xuanyuan Qinghe also sighed with a sigh.

"Came to the guest officer, I went to our store's special eight-treasure duck, this duck puff pastry tender meat, silky mouth, very suitable for this young lady to taste, you eat first, I will go first, something to call me."

Xiao Er said a lot of words, turned around to leave, was pulled by Xuanyuan Qinghe, Xiao Er was stunned, and said at a loss: "Do you need anything else from the guest officer?" ”

"It's nothing, there's something I want to ask you, I have some silver here, it doesn't need it, you understand?" Xuanyuan Qinghe has already entered the role, and said in a decent manner.

"I don't know what do you want to ask you, guest officers? Then I know everything! As soon as the shopkeeper heard that there was a silver ticket, he instantly came to his senses, and said with a bright eye.

Xuanyuan Qinghe took out five taels of silver and put it on the table, and used this method to bluff the shopkeeper first, because in fact, Xuanyuan Qinghe didn't bring much money at all, and he had money to give to the shopkeeper, which was completely nonsense, casually.

"Isn't there a person dead in your embroidery alley? Have you heard? Xuanyuan Qinghe took advantage of the momentum and began to ask.

"I heard about it, and it is said that the new prefect also came, saying that he would investigate the case thoroughly."

"Did you see anything last night?"

"That's... That..."The shopkeeper didn't speak, but he was making a gesture asking for money in his hand.

"Say, the money is indispensable to you, let's add money!" Xuanyuan Qinghe really felt that this shopkeeper had fallen into the money eye.

"That's great, I did see it yesterday, and I saw other things, hehe, I don't know why you are asking about this?"

The shopkeeper didn't explain this matter clearly, and Xuanyuan Qinghe was already clear, he must have wanted to add money again, but where did he get so much money?

"Know this? You still want to talk to me about money? Tell me everything you know, or I'll find someone to arrest you and say you don't report it! ”

Xuanyuan Qinghe took out the token of the prefect's yamen, and saw that the shopkeeper was so frightened that he was convinced, but he still felt that the identity thing really worked.

The shopkeeper saw that the token people were stupid, and thought in fear: The two prefects, can you say it earlier, if you want to say it earlier, I won't dare to talk to them, how can this be done!

The shopkeeper cowered and explained, "Last night, when it was almost time, I was cleaning up the table on the second floor, and then I heard the sound of the watch.

We all know each other about this watchman, his name is Lin Yuan, he is a very good person, I saw him come yesterday and wanted to say hello.

But when he entered an alley, no one was seen, and when I thought about how I couldn't see anyone for a while, I saw him run out in a panic, and the lantern in his hand was gone.

Then chased out a person, and I saw with my own eyes that the sword was stabbed directly into Lin Yuan's body, and then he fell in a pool of blood, and that person changed away. ”

"Did you see that man? Then why didn't you come and tell me? Li Xiaoran was very puzzled in his heart, he had obviously seen the killing, but he didn't talk about it, what kind of person is this?

"The night was too dark, I didn't see it clearly at the time, and I can't recognize it now, you can go and ask the people in the alley, I have told everything I know, I don't know about it, right?"

Xuanyuan Qinghe had already conceived the murder process in his mind, and the scene had emerged, but there were still many questions that he couldn't figure out.

"Why are you still standing here, don't you have something to do? Don't do it yet! Xuanyuan Qinghe found that the shopkeeper hadn't left yet, and he was still staying here.

"That, can you give me this silver, after all, I have said so much, is it a small credit?"

These few words made the fire of Xuanyuan Qinghe float, and asked sternly: "It's good that we didn't bother you, if we don't report it, we won't say it first, just ask about it and ask for a silver ticket, it's a good thing that I didn't arrest you back in prison and lock you up, don't come with me quickly!" ”

The shopkeeper left reluctantly, muttering something in his mouth in a voice that people couldn't hear clearly, looking at this look, it is estimated that he has suffered a dumb loss.

"Look at what I'm right, like these relatively small inns, they are often places where talents gather, so you can find valuable clues here, learn more from me in the future, and I will protect you!"

Xuanyuan Qinghe said proudly, this feeling is like bathing in the spring breeze, making people feel warm.

"Okay, let's go to the alley and ask if there will be more unexpected clues."

Li Xiaoran generously admitted that Xuanyuan Qinghe was indeed powerful, but there was always a sense of foreboding in his heart, as if something was going to happen recently.
