In the middle of the night, the gong of the third watch rang out, and there was a knock on the door from Liufu.

Old Zhao Tou is old, and he feels a little shallow, and he has been up since the first knock on the door, but he is old and slow.

When he lit the lantern and walked to the latch, the knock on the door had sounded countless times, and it was the Wang brothers who used to perform chest breaking boulders on the overpass, "Open the door quickly, there is an emergency in the yamen." ”

When Lao Zhao heard this, this is worth it, the matter in the yamen is a big deal!

Hurriedly opened the door, led the two officials to the second entrance, the second into the ear room, the mother-in-law who was doing chores had already gotten up, seeing that Lao Zhao Tou had brought someone over, he hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

Wang Lao'er's voice was urgent: "There is an emergency in the yamen, and it is urgent for Liu Zhutou to deal with it." ”

The mother-in-law immediately went to knock on Xiao Qi's door, Xiao Qi was sleeping sweetly at this time, and was a little angry when he was woken up.

She opened the door, squinted slightly and looked out of the door, and she didn't see clearly who was standing outside, so she only asked casually: "Three watches knocked on the door in the middle of the night, what happened?" ”

The second eldest of the Wang family had a very loud voice, "Liu catches the head, something is wrong, there is a murder case on Qingyu Street, and it is a young and beautiful girl who was killed." ”

The mother-in-law was shaking her hands and preparing to light the oil lamp, when she heard that someone had died, her hands trembled with fright, and the oil lamp overturned, and the fire fell on the oil and caught fire.

Seeing this, Xiao Qi hurriedly ran to the stove to bring the jar containing grass ash and cover the fire.

Niu Shi had also come over and scolded: "Why are you so careless." ”

Xiao Qi: "Mother, it's still early, you go back to rest first, and you have to go to Qixi Building to work tomorrow?" ”

Niu didn't wake up, listened to Xiao Qi's words, turned around and went back to the house.

Xiao Qi hurriedly ran to the well and fetched a bucket of water out, and splashed it on his face a few times, the coolness of the well water spread to his skin, and the whole person was much more energetic.

Walked up to the Wang brothers and said, "Today is the two of you brothers on duty?" Take me to see it. ”

The three of them soon arrived at the place where the crime occurred on Qingyu Street, and they smelled a smell of blood from afar, although it was a summer night, there was a faint coolness, I don't know if it was because of the atmosphere.

"Chief, this is it."

When Xiao Qi heard this, he took the lantern in Wang Lao's second-hand hand, shone it over, and saw a woman in red lying on the ground, blood spilled all over the ground, and paper money was sprinkled on the side.

"Is it coming?"

Wang Lao Er looked at Jiang Da who was cowering in the corner, "Jiang Da, you are so incompetent to be scared like this." ”

"Am I easy? Leave you alone here and look at the corpse and try it. ”

Jiang Da looked angry, "I've been doing it for two years and I've saved enough for my wife, and I'm about to tell Master Wang that I won't do it from next month, who knew that such a tragedy happened, it's too unlucky." ”

Wang Lao Er laughed dryly, "The monthly money you pay is three or four times that of catching fast, why don't you teach me Jiang Da, I can also save some wife, and I can ask for a wife in the future." ”

Xiao Qi looked at Jiang Da: "Get up and get down to business." ”

Jiang Da immediately stood up, "The deceased is about twenty years old, and he is in his prime-"

Xiao Qi frowned: "It's easier to say. ”

Jiang Da: "The deceased was a woman in her early twenties, who was killed by someone who cut her throat with a sharp knife, and the time of death was probably last night. ”

Xiao Qi said strangely: "It's been several hours now, why did you find out so late." ”

Wang Laoer: "Maybe it's Halloween, so there are very few people who go out after dark." The first person to find out and go to the yamen to report the case was the watchman. ”

Jiang Da stretched out his hand and flicked off a piece of paper money on his shoe, "This Halloween is really unlucky, a beauty like Tofu Shih Tzu died last year, and a beauty also died this year." ”

It is very important to paint a portrait of the deceased, and it is not like it is directly related to the progress of the case.

So the next morning, Xiao Qi took his brother Afula to Yizhuang.

"Brother, are you afraid?"

Ah Fu smiled reluctantly, "With my sister, the Seven Heroines, how can I be afraid?" ”

In fact, this Yizhuang is eerie, and since he came in, he felt that his hairs stood on end.

Ah Mo: "The little seventh girl is just strong in martial arts, if you really see a ghost, I'm afraid it's useless, let's find a Taoist priest to come over." ”

Feng Yulang also came to Yizhuang today, he has not yet made a quick catch, although Xiao Qi mentioned it to Master Wang, but Master Wang said that this matter will take time, and he will have to wait for him to discuss it with the prefect before making a decision.

So Feng Yulang just followed behind the crowd to watch the excitement, and at this time, he was a little unconvinced after listening to Ah Mo's words, "How could my master be useless?" My master is the best. ”

Soon, Ah Fu finished the painting.

The catchers took the painting painted by Ah Fu and walked around the city of Pengzhou, and immediately found out the identity of the woman in red, and it turned out that this woman was actually a prostitute in Chunhua Qiuyuelou to welcome spring.

When Xiao Qi took Feng Yulang, Mu Ziqi's master and servant and the Wang family brothers to find the Chunhua Qiuyue Building, it was noon, and the bustard had not woken up yet.

When he was called out by the gatekeeper, the old bustard opened his sleepy eyes: "What's the matter?" ”

"The official is here."

When the old bustard heard the official word, he immediately became energetic: "I don't know why a few masters came here?" ”

Wang Lao Er's voice was strong, and he took out the portrait of Yingchun and said: "Many people identify this as the girl from your Spring Flower and Qiuyue Building. ”

The old bustard raised his eyes to look like the painting in Wang Lao's second-hand hand, the painting is really good-looking, and at a glance you can recognize that the person on it is Yingchun, but it is several times more beautiful than Yingchun.

I don't know who is painting, if I can invite to help the girls in the building paint a picture, it is estimated that the business of Chunhua Qiuyue Building will be more prosperous.

Thinking of this, the bustard was a little excited, and stretched out his hand to touch the painting, and Wang Lao Er hurriedly took the painting away.

Isn't it just a painting? He didn't even let him touch it, the old bustard was a little unhappy, and he pinched his waist with both hands and said in his throat: "Why did a few poor masters come to find our Spring Festival girl?" ”

"The Spring Festival girl was killed on Qingyu Street last night." Wang Laoer's tone was stiff, he stood in the hall of the Spring Flower and Autumn Moon Building, feeling uncomfortable, and the fragrance on the old bustard's body made him choke.

The old bustard was a little incredulous, "Isn't Yingchun supposed to sleep in the room?" This uncle, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense! ”

After all, Wang Lao Er had performed a chest boulder, and his speech was still very imposing, he pointed to Xiao Qi who was standing in front of him: "This is our willow catcher, do you think we are idle and have nothing to do, and we deliberately came to you to be happy?" Before today, Ye didn't know that there was such a person as you. ”

"Wait a minute, I'll have someone go upstairs and have a look." The old bustard pinched the pink handkerchief and pointed to the strong man looking at the gate and said, "Wang Er, you go to the spring room to have a look." ”

"The milk bear, even the one who watches the gate has the same name as Lao Tzu." Wang Lao Er scolded in a low voice.

Ah Mo was very gossipy: "The old king next door to the yamen also has the same name as you?" Brother dissipated his anger, mainly because your name is too ordinary, like Xiaoqi girl's surname Liu, there are few people with the same name. ”
